The Young Lady's Scheme (2)

Bai Hui walked up the stairs, her Little White, full of artistic flair, clinging to her figure. As her waist and hips swayed, the side slit revealed her slender calves. The heels of her high heels tapped rhythmically on the ground, like drumbeats in her ears.

Liu Chang'an followed behind her and noticed that compared to her high school days, Bai Hui's temperament had matured a little. She had gradually shed the naivety of a high school student and gained the fragrance of a young college student.

Bai Hui turned off her phone, glanced back at Liu Chang'an, and smiled shyly. She knew that Liu Chang'an's willingness to go upstairs with her did not mean that there was already a sufficiently ambiguous relationship between them... it just meant that he had finally stopped treating her as a mere object of teasing and was now treating her as a friend.

Although he would still say things like that her figure and appearance were ordinary, and occasionally tease Bai Hui, he hadn't deliberately tried to make her want to explode in a long time.

So Bai Hui decided to talk to him openly about Lin'an to show that she was innocent and had a normal mindset... A woman who wanted to be ambiguous with him would definitely not tell him details about his sweet trip with his girlfriend.

"Did you watch 'The Legend of the White Snake' when you were little?" Bai Hui asked, lifting her skirt.

"West Lake scenery, March days... Sorry, I couldn't help but sing, of course I've seen it." Liu Chang'an cleared his throat, there were many things he couldn't say normally, he had to sing as soon as he opened his mouth, such as: Sister, you sit at the bow of the boat, you are the wind and I am the sand, the weather is so sunny today.

"It's this song. I have an original choreography, and I'm thinking of dancing it on the lake at Gao Dewei's house," Bai Hui said with some anticipation.

"Aren't you afraid of falling into the lake again?" Liu Chang'an kindly reminded her, afraid she might not remember. "You were like a dead fish, floating on its back then, don't you remember?"

Bai Hui took a deep breath. He certainly wouldn't make her explode with anger, but he could certainly make her chest bulge.

She simply wanted to remind him of the beautiful scene of him sitting at the bow of the boat, her dancing on the boat, and the misty waters of the lake.

"What I mean is... now that you've bought a camera, you can practice shooting videos. When are we going to Gao Dewei's house again? We'll find two boats; I'll dance on one boat, and you can film on the other." Bai Hui finished speaking and added, "I just suddenly thought of it... it's not finalized yet. If you don't want to, that's fine too. Anyway, there should be many classmates there; we can see if anyone else knows how to film videos."

"Let me do it, I'm a good swimmer," Liu Chang'an said after thinking for a moment. He did have the idea of practicing shooting videos, but he was more interested in aerial photography, since observing everything from the air was not a common experience.

"You're a good swimmer?" Bai Hui's cheeks flushed because she remembered that her closest contact with Liu Chang'an was when Zhao Wuqiang fell into the water. He was lying on her lap, and it seemed... it seemed that his head touched her chest and his cheek touched the skin of her thigh.

"When Zhao Wuqiang fell into the water, I definitely wasn't a very good swimmer. If you fell in, I'd definitely be a good swimmer." After all, if Bai Hui fell into the water, there would be no point in Liu Chang'an pretending to be a bad swimmer. Was he supposed to put on a show of desperately struggling to save her?

Bai Hui's heart was pounding. What did this person mean? Was it... was he saying that she was ultimately different? It didn't seem like it... Never mind, don't overthink it. Liu Chang'an loved to let others make assumptions, and then he would give you a shocking explanation, which would make Bai Hui furious. This wasn't the first or second time this had happened.

"Don't worry, this time I'll put my phone down first and put on my swim trunks. That way, if you fall into the water, I won't need to take out my phone or take off my clothes; I can just jump in and save you." Liu Chang'an thought for a moment. "I suggest you wear clothes that won't expose you in the water, because other classmates might come and watch."

"Just curse me to fall into the water!" Bai Hui rolled her eyes at him. Did he mean it wouldn't matter if she exposed herself in front of him if no other classmates came to watch? Dream on, hmph.

I have a feeling it definitely will.

"How annoying!"

Bai Hui opened the door, first blocking Liu Chang'an, and looked around the room to see if there was anything that was inappropriate for others to see. This was to show that she was really not prepared to invite him upstairs, and that it was just a sudden thought.

"Come in. Luckily, I always like to tidy up my room, otherwise you would definitely laugh at others again." Bai Hui smiled and stepped back to let Liu Chang'an in.

Liu Chang'an looked around the house and nodded. "You really intend to become a professional otaku dance content creator, huh? These lighting, backgrounds, and video shooting must have taken a lot of time, effort, and money."

"Now my videos get millions of views, I'm probably in the top three in the dance category, and the income is pretty good... I never thought my hobby could bring in this kind of income. Before the new year, there was a car show, and a domestic supercar manufacturer asked me to dance and film a video for them to release. Guess how much they paid me?" Bai Hui boasted excitedly.

"Five thousand yuan?" Liu Chang'an guessed casually.

"One hundred thousand." Bai Hui lowered her voice, looking mysterious and almost incredulous.

"Price gouging..." Liu Chang'an was somewhat surprised.

"What are you talking about?" Bai Hui blushed and glared at him angrily. If he dared to swear, she would dare to do something as shameful, angry, and reckless as jumping on his back and knocking him to the ground, just like some women do.

"Inflating the price of fennel beans." Liu Chang'an laughed, avoiding the question. This price was already comparable to the appearance fees of many celebrities... Actually, it wasn't too outrageous. Manufacturers had become shrewd; often, hiring celebrities was just about creating atmosphere at the event, with almost no marketing effect on social media. These days, who doesn't value social media marketing?

"Ugh, you're the one with the fennel seeds!" Bai Hui pointed to the side, "Come on, look at my little skirts."

Bai Hui has initially realized the ultimate dream of a Lolita fashion enthusiast: instead of having her wardrobe crammed full of dresses, she now has a separate room to house them, and can even prepare a display case and dolls to wear some of her favorite styles for display.

The room where Bai Hui displays her dresses is obviously incomparable to Zhu Juntang's. Apart from the main dressing room, the area where Zhu Juntang displays her dresses is just like the stores of many international luxury brands.

But Bai Hui was already very happy. Liu Chang'an saw happiness on her face, without any dissatisfaction or regret of being jealous and unable to obtain what she wanted... She was a girl who pursued and enjoyed material things, but not a girl who was insatiable, always jealous and coveting everything.

"You must take a lot of time to clean, maintain, and care for this kind of hobby. It's more suitable for freelancers. If a 9-to-5 office worker were a Lolita fashion enthusiast like you, they would probably find it much less fun and feel much more tired." Liu Chang'an wasn't someone she could appreciate dresses with, which is why girls need like-minded friends besides love... like Bai Hui and Zhu Juntang.

"I have some flying fish robes from the Imperial Guard here, would you like to try them on?" Bai Hui had actually seen Liu Chang'an wearing Hanfu before.

It was last year's Qixi Festival.

What did that feel like...? Bai Hui couldn't remember.

"You're still wearing this?" Liu Chang'an knew that many girls wore Hanfu designed for men, which was very elegant and handsome, and fit women's aesthetic of combining feminine and masculine elements. Among them, the flying fish robe of the Ming Embroidered Uniform Guard was a very popular style among girls.

But those girls who dress very stylishly are often... quite ordinary; even when dressed as men, they look like handsome and fresh-faced young men at first glance.

"We girls often buy clothes based on our fantasies of how beautiful we'll look in them. We buy them, look at them, but don't necessarily try them on before putting them away. This flying fish outfit, when I bought it, I was worried about the bust... you know, the circumference, it was a bit too big. By the time it arrived, I'd already given up on it and hadn't even tried it on," Bai Hui explained, taking a flying fish outfit from the closet, complete with arm protectors and a hat.

"No, I won't try it on." Liu Chang'an shook his head. "Wearing this kind of clothing would change my entire aura. You'd think I'm too handsome, which wouldn't be good for you finding a boyfriend in the future."

"Have some shame!" Bai Hui was both amused and annoyed. It was as if she could easily find a boyfriend right now. She casually slapped the clothes in front of Liu Chang'an, then grabbed another set of clothes and left. "Hurry up, we need to test my new lens later. I bought a used OTUS 85-1.4 on Xianyu."

"Don't blame me if you can't find a boyfriend in the future," Liu Chang'an said with a clear understanding of his own limitations.

Bai Hui snorted, walked out, and closed the door behind her. "It's all your fault! Who else is to blame?"

Let me tell you in advance that Liu Yuewang, Bai Hui, Qin Yanan, and other girls will not be depicted riding the waves and singing with the protagonist in the main story. I will write them in the side stories.
