Chapter 53: Junior Sister, Senior Brother Loves Me
Ye Anping held Pei Lianxue’s small hand, intentionally slowing his pace, so they could admire the night view of Heavenly Street together.
The marketplace of Xuan Xing Sect was quite large, about the size of Hundred Lotus Sect, and many shops operated overnight. After all, cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage no longer needed to sleep. Those with free time would also visit the marketplace at night.
Pei Lianxue walked obediently beside him, her head bowed, staring at the stone bricks on the ground, her little mind lost in thought.
After observing for a while, Ye Anping finally understood.
The reason she walked with her head down was simply because she didn’t want to step on the stone bricks or the gaps between them; she wanted to step on the center of each brick.
When she encountered a broken stone brick, she would simply hop over it.
What a peculiar obsession.
She was actually quite cute, like an ordinary little girl.
One couldn’t tell that she was a young cultivator, immune to all poisons, who had slain countless demonic beasts with her impressive swordsmanship.
Unbeknownst to Ye Anping, Pei Lianxue was currently preoccupied with divining her future.
It was like plucking petals to tell if someone loved her or not.
She was thinking that if she walked step by step, until she reached the last stone brick at the end of the street.
If her left foot was forward, it meant “Senior Brother loves me.” If her right foot was forward at the end of the street, it meant “Senior Brother doesn’t love me.”
After dozens of steps, she finally reached the last stone brick of the street, about to turn.
She paused and realized her right foot was forward. Immediately, she pouted and took a small hop, moving her left foot to land on the last brick. “My fate is mine to decide, not heaven’s! Senior Brother loves me!”
Seeing her action, Ye Anping was confused. What was she doing?
“Junior Sister, what are you doing?”
“…” Pei Lianxue was silent for a moment, then looked up at him and asked, “Does Senior Brother love me?”
Why the sudden question?
Ye Anping blinked and smiled, “Of course, I do. You’re my only Junior Sister, why wouldn’t I love you?”
“Mhm…” Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and smiled shyly, nodding, and grasped Ye Anping’s hand tighter. “Hehe…”
At this moment, Ye Anping paused, suddenly realizing something, and asked, “Could it be that you saw something you wanted while you were shopping with Xiao Yunluo earlier and want Senior Brother to buy it for you?”
“Ah?! No…”
“With your personality, you can just tell Senior Brother what you want, can’t you? Do you see Senior Brother as an outsider? Tell me, what do you want?”
Pei Lianxue looked at her Senior Brother’s face, then after a moment of silence, she finally nodded.
“Mhm.”
Earlier, when she was shopping with Xiao Yunluo, Xiao Yunluo had dragged her to a clothing store and wanted to buy her clothes, but she had stubbornly refused because the shop was too expensive. A single gauze shawl alone cost a thousand Spirit Stones.
However, in that store, she had seen an extremely beautiful and ethereal red wedding dress on display.
The proprietress had proudly introduced it to her and Xiao Yunluo, saying it was adorned with eighty-one spiritual treasures and would make all men unable to take their eyes off the wearer, regardless of whether they were on a mountain peak or a plain.
Although she didn’t quite understand, she had truly found it beautiful and even fantasized about herself wearing that wedding dress and marrying her Senior Brother.
Of course, Pei Lianxue absolutely could not tell her Senior Brother that she wanted that wedding dress. It would make him awkward if he couldn’t afford it, and it would be too wasteful. She didn’t want all men to be unable to take their eyes off her; she only wanted her Senior Brother to be unable to take his eyes off her.
Coincidentally, she had just seen a very affordable ready-to-wear clothing store by the roadside.
So, after hesitating for a moment, Pei Lianxue took her Senior Brother’s hand and turned back, heading towards the ready-to-wear clothing store.
“Clothes.”
“…”
Ye Anping looked at the sign above the ready-to-wear clothing store and blinked blankly.
This was the shop where he had custom-ordered women’s clothing.
At the time, he hadn’t thought of asking Bai Yuexin to help attract customers yet and wanted to use women’s clothing to receive guests. After all, the Physiotherapy Center, plus female technicians, was enough to attract a lot of people willing to pay.
However, due to a twist of fate, Bai Yuexin helped attract customers, and the plan to operate with women’s clothing was shelved.
As for that piece of women’s clothing, when Feng Yu Die came to his shop for roasted chicken a few days ago, he remembered it.
Since it was custom-made according to his own body shape, it would likely be too tight for his Junior Sister.
And since Feng Yu Die’s figure was similar to his, only a little shorter, he had sold the set to Feng Yu Die at a 50% discount, making a profit.
Feng Yu Die had been quite pleased with it at the time, praising his good taste…
Just as Ye Anping was about to find an excuse to choose another clothing store, the shop owner, seeing the two of them, walked out to greet them.
“Isn’t this the young master from last time?”
“Huh?” Seeing that the proprietress recognized her Senior Brother, Pei Lianxue tilted her head and quickly pulled her Senior Brother forward. “Proprietress, did my Senior Brother come to buy clothes before?”
“He made quite an impression,” the proprietress said with a smile, covering her mouth. “The young master came in and asked me to make a skirt according to his body shape.”
“A… a skirt?!”
Pei Lianxue looked at Ye Anping beside her with a terrified expression. He looked embarrassed and didn’t know how to explain.
At this moment, the proprietress added, “Young master was buying it for someone, right? How is it? Are the clothes I made pretty good?”
“…For someone?”
Pei Lianxue frowned slightly, clothes made according to her Senior Brother’s body shape? For someone?
Ye Anping had no choice but to try his best and came up with a terrible excuse, changing the subject.
“I just made it to decorate my home. Alright, Junior Sister, don’t you want clothes? Boss, please make a well-fitting one for my Junior Sister. You can ask her about the style and color.”
“Alright! Young master, please sit inside for a while. I’ll take the young girl to measure her body.”
Saying that, the proprietress enthusiastically took Pei Lianxue to the inner room and took out a measuring tape to measure her body dimensions.
While the proprietress was measuring her for clothes, Pei Lianxue also asked, “Proprietress, what did my Senior Brother’s custom-made outfit look like?”
“Hmm? It was verdant green, and the style was similar to the one I’m wearing now, but the material was better.”
“I see…”
Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and nodded.
If she had to think of a girl with a similar body shape to her Senior Brother, the only one she knew was Feng Yu Die.
She had to go back and check Feng Yu Die’s wardrobe to confirm!
But… what if it was true?
Giving intimate clothing to someone of the opposite sex was a very affectionate act, similar to giving a handkerchief or a jade pendant.
Especially if they weren’t very familiar.
Didn’t her Senior Brother have a soft spot for the girl named “Xiyue”?
Why would he give clothes to that white-haired idiot?
What was so good about that idiot?!
