Maid Outfit

Lu Mingfei was at a loss for words. He could only silently watch them work.

In the end, he'd still become the pretty boy after all.

Once they left the store, Su Xiaoqiang checked the time.

"Mingfei, it's time for lunch. What do you want to eat?" Su Xiaoqiang asked him.

Lu Mingfei pondered for a moment. "How about malatang?"

Su Xiaoqiang's face darkened. "They don't have malatang around here."

"Then spicy noodles will do."

Seeing Su Xiaoqiang's expression, Lu Mingfei ventured another suggestion. "Crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, hot and sour noodles, zhajiang noodles, knife-cut noodles, or hot dry noodles?"

Su Xiaoqiang covered her face. They didn't have any of those here, either!

"Hah, this Jiuguang Department Store isn't all that great after all."

The place was so huge, yet it didn't even have a simple bowl of noodles. Lu Mingfei was heartbroken by the situation.

"I'll take you somewhere to eat instead." Su Xiaoqiang sighed and led Lu Mingfei off to lunch.

After they finished eating, Lu Mingfei asked, "We've eaten, and we've bought clothes. Shouldn't we head home?"

Su Xiaoqiang glanced at her phone. "It's only two o'clock. We've still got plenty of time. Let's keep looking around."

Lu Mingfei was utterly exhausted. He trailed listlessly after Su Xiaoqiang.

This time, Su Xiaoqiang was the one trying on clothes. She changed into all kinds of styles and had Lu Mingfei rate them.

Lu Mingfei's verdict was always that they looked great, fantastic, and that even movie stars weren't as beautiful as she was. Su Xiaoqiang was very pleased with his praise and waved a hand grandly. "I'll take them all."

Around four in the afternoon,

Su Xiaoqiang stood in the middle of the department store, locked in an inner struggle. Would this request upset Lu Mingfei? Would he think I'm that kind of woman?

In the end, she steeled herself. Her face slightly flushed as she asked Lu Mingfei, "Um, there's one more store I want to check out. When we get there, could you not make fun of me? And don't run away!"

Why weren't they done shopping yet? Ever since they left that last store, Lu Mingfei had thought it was the final one. He'd never imagined there'd be another.

Lu Mingfei sighed. "Don't worry. No matter what lies ahead—even if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of fire—I'm ready."

Su Xiaoqiang felt a little reassured. She led Lu Mingfei toward the store she'd long been eager to visit. Before, she'd never had a guy to go with her. Now she had Lu Mingfei, so she could finally go.

Once they entered the store, Lu Mingfei fell silent.

He knew Su Xiaoqiang could be unreliable, but he hadn't expected her to bring him to a store like this.

The store was full of maid outfits, butler outfits, JK uniforms, and other clothes of that sort.

As soon as she went inside, Su Xiaoqiang excitedly grabbed a butler outfit and showed it to Lu Mingfei. "Mingfei, look! What do you think of this?"

"It looks great, but I refuse!" Lu Mingfei turned her down without hesitation.

Su Xiaoqiang's smile froze.

"But I've been wanting to see you wear this for ages!" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Mingfei with pleading eyes.

Lu Mingfei shook his head and crossed his hands in front of him.

"Then what would it take for you to wear it?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, deflated.

"Easy. If you want me to wear a butler outfit, you have to try on a maid outfit for me first." He'd never seen a maid in real life, and he was kind of curious, so Lu Mingfei made the suggestion.

Su Xiaoqiang glanced at the maid outfits hanging in the store, and her face immediately turned red. "Damn you, Lu Mingfei!"

But she really wanted to see Lu Mingfei in a butler outfit. She remembered watching TV as a kid and seeing handsome guys dressed like that, calling someone "Young Lady." It had been so thrilling.

After a fierce inner struggle, Su Xiaoqiang gave in. "How about this: you try yours on first, and then I'll try mine."

"Sure." Lu Mingfei went straight into the fitting room.

As Su Xiaoqiang waited, Lu Mingfei stepped back out.

The broad, turned-up collar formed a nearly symmetrical triangle. The jet-black tailcoat perfectly accentuated Lu Mingfei's slender build. The white patterned shirt was unbuttoned at the top, revealing his fair neck.

Lu Mingfei looked elegant and noble, like someone who'd stepped right out of a manga.

Su Xiaoqiang stared wide-eyed at Lu Mingfei, then hurried over to inspect him up close. Her gaze lingered on his fair neck, and she couldn't help swallowing.

"So sexy—ah, no, so handsome," Su Xiaoqiang corrected herself at once.

"Is this enough?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"Look a little colder, and call me Young Lady!"

"You sure?"

"Mm-hmm!" Su Xiaoqiang nodded repeatedly.

Lu Mingfei's expression turned cold in an instant. "Young Lady, it's getting late. You should go home. If you get back late, the head of the household will blame me."

"Or are you planning to let me suffer the head of the household's punishment?"

"Let him punish you!" Su Xiaoqiang said, hands on her hips and entirely unapologetic.

"Tsk, you're so hard to please." Lu Mingfei turned away and muttered under his breath, his expression disdainful.

"You're way too good at this!" Su Xiaoqiang clutched her chest, her heart pounding. Lu Mingfei's disdainful look had hit her right in the heart.

"Okay, now it's your turn." Lu Mingfei instantly returned to normal and urged Su Xiaoqiang to hurry up and change.

"Ahhh, that was so fast!" Su Xiaoqiang walked toward the fitting room with great reluctance.

Lu Mingfei sat on the sofa in the store, crossing one leg over the other as he waited for her to change.

Su Xiaoqiang took a little longer. After waiting for a while, she finally came out, looking bashful.

Her long, jet-black hair fell over her shoulders, with a white ribbon tied into it. The black-and-white maid outfit fit her perfectly, and her slender legs looked alluring beneath the white thigh-high stockings.

As she walked over, Su Xiaoqiang instinctively tugged down at the white lace hem of her skirt. Her face was now bright red. It was so embarrassing to be dressed like this.

Lu Mingfei stared, feeling as though something had pierced right through his heart.

"Is this okay?" Su Xiaoqiang asked, head lowered.

"Look a little gentler, and call me Master."

Su Xiaoqiang raised her head and fixed her eyes on Lu Mingfei.

"I made the same request of you that you made of me. That's fair, right?" Lu Mingfei said smugly.

"Fine." Su Xiaoqiang unclenched her fist.

"Master," Su Xiaoqiang murmured, lowering her head.

"Louder."

"Master!"

"Lift your head so I can see your face, and improvise a little."

Su Xiaoqiang raised her head and put on an expression as if she were about to cry. "Master, I'm sorry. I won't do it again!"

"Then I'll magnanimously forgive you!" Lu Mingfei said with a giggle.

At last, it was over. The expression on Su Xiaoqiang's face returned to normal, and she was just about to give Lu Mingfei a thorough roasting when he suddenly stepped closer.

Lu Mingfei lifted Su Xiaoqiang's chin with a finger and said playfully, "What's wrong? Can't take it anymore?"

Su Xiaoqiang froze. Her face turned bright red, and she stammered, unable to get a word out.

Seeing her like that, Lu Mingfei decided not to tease her any further.

He quickly withdrew his finger, stepped back two paces, and bowed to Su Xiaoqiang. "Thanks for the treat!"

Embarrassed and annoyed, Su Xiaoqiang punched Lu Mingfei twice, then bought both outfits as he laughed.
