**Chapter 24: You Look Great Too**
The room was filled with warm lights.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Huai Gege moved to the bedside of Luo Qingyu. At this moment, Luo Qingyu was wrapped up in the quilt, but on the bedside table, her white lace underwear and dress were neatly arranged.
The underwear had been a gift from Jiang Huai. His silly soft system mall allowed him to exchange for women’s clothing, and each piece could be exchanged for just one point. Jiang Huai had thought that it would be more comfortable for her to wear close-fitting clothes, so he had exchanged two sets for Luo Qingyu.
He had measured her size with a soft ruler, noting that Luo Qingyu had inherited her mother’s figure well—slender where she should be slim, yet more voluptuous in the places that should be fuller than other girls.
At that time, he had even considered changing a set for Chu Xianning, hoping that his master would measure her size with the soft ruler and let him know. Unfortunately, his master merely shot him a disdainful glance and said it wasn’t necessary.
His master’s underwear was all conservative, moon-white, one-piece garments, and Jiang Huai had naturally known this after living with Chu Xianning for so many years.
Since Luo Qingyu’s dress was laid out here, it meant that she must be completely undressed under the quilt.
Jiang Huai watched as she tightly clutched the quilt, while her white and tender little feet were covered with calf socks. The silk, anti-evil white socks wrapped her calves snugly. Jiang Huai reached out his hand and touched her snow-white foot’s back, immediately feeling the softness of the white silk, which even felt slightly itchy to the touch.
“Why are you undressed but still wearing socks?”
“Wearing socks… is comfortable,” Luo Qingyu mumbled quietly, her small head peeking out from the quilt. Jiang Huai gently lifted the quilt again and grabbed the edge of her sock, pulling it down from her slender little leg and placing it neatly to the side. In his sight, the cute toes of her white and tender little feet were all curled up, resembling budding flowers.
Jiang Huai playfully held her little foot for a while. In the past, he never felt any guilt doing this, because Luo Qingyu was his betrothed Dao Companion. They were engaged, after all; anything they did was legitimate and reasonable. However, now that the engagement had been annulled, he found himself indulging in playing with Luo Qingyu’s little feet. Suddenly, he felt a slight sense of guilt.
Fortunately, his conscience wasn’t worth much.
Indeed, a person’s desires only seem to grow. Jiang Huai suddenly wanted to touch her creamy thigh; her skin was likely smooth and soft, and touching it would definitely feel comfortable. So, he carefully lifted the quilt even more, but Luo Qingyu suddenly seemed flustered.
“Hmm?” Jiang Huai looked at her panicked eyes.
If she didn’t want him to, he would certainly stop. He lowered the quilt again, but Luo Qingyu shifted restlessly beneath it.
She didn’t want Jiang Huai to see the marks left on her pale thigh by her own fingernails; if he saw them… Jiang Huai Gege might get angry.
But, Jiang Huai Gege had finally wanted to touch her legs… and now she was rejecting him…
Luo Qingyu’s thoughts became a tangle, but Jiang Huai had already pulled the quilt down completely, covering her white and tender little feet. He said, “Alright, can you sleep obediently now?”
For some unknown reason, Luo Qingyu felt that Jiang Huai seemed a bit disappointed, and this little disappointment made her increasingly anxious. No, she couldn’t allow that…
“Jiang Huai Gege…”
“Hmm?”
“C-can I let you touch my Tuan Tuan… but, but I can’t let you touch my legs tonight…”
“Hmm?” Jiang Huai was taken aback.
“Because… I’m afraid it’s cold,” Luo Qingyu replied in a flurry.
“You’re lying to me.” In the next second, Jiang Huai tilted his head, pointing this fact out.
“No…”
“Your eyes are darting when you lie,” Jiang Huai playfully blinked at her, “So… are you hiding something from me?”
“No…” Luo Qingyu became even more anxious.
“Well then, let’s assume Qingyu isn’t lying. Now, you have to sleep obediently.”
Jiang Huai didn’t pursue the matter of whether she was actually lying any further, only smiling resignedly as he reached out and gently pinched her snowy little face. Then, he turned to leave the room, but after taking a few steps, Luo Qingyu, afraid of disappointing him, was overwhelmed by her anxiety.
“Jiang Huai Gege… don’t go.”
“Hmm?”
“Qingyu… Qingyu lied…”
Jiang Huai turned around, and the girl on the bed had already sat up, clutching the quilt tightly. As she gripped it, her delicate, long legs emerged beneath it. However, there were many red marks on her perfectly shaped thighs from where she had pinched herself.
Her skin was marked by the slightest touch, leaving red imprints that created a uniquely subtle contrast against her smooth skin.
The quilt had been gathered up to the roots of her thighs, her legs pressed tightly together, her body trembling nervously. Jiang Huai walked back to the bedside. The girl’s snowy thighs shone like jade in the light, but those red marks were just as glaring.
“Did you do this because you weren’t happy?”
“No, it’s not that… it’s just… just…” Luo Qingyu shook her head, answering timidly, “Qingyu… likes it this way…”
“Qingyu knows she was wrong…” Tears began to shimmer in her eye sockets.
Jiang Huai felt somewhat helpless. He stretched out his hand, gently touching the red marks on her leg. Those marks would probably fade by the morning. He looked into Luo Qingyu’s misty eyes, “Alright, Jiang Huai Gege isn’t angry with you.”
“Even if it’s a bad habit, if you like it, rewarding yourself occasionally isn’t a problem, but you can’t really hurt yourself, or I will truly be angry.”
Luo Qingyu was stunned for a while. “Jiang Huai Gege… you’re not angry?”
“I’m not angry.” Jiang Huai felt helpless, his fingers lightly caressing her smooth thigh, “But you can’t do this every night, okay? Do you hear me?”
“Qingyu… hears you.”
“That’s good; I believe Qingyu will be obedient.” Suddenly, Jiang Huai’s fingers stopped on Luo Qingyu’s tender thigh, and in an instant when she was distracted, he gently pinched her.
Though it was light, her naturally soft skin turned pink where he squeezed it.
Luo Qingyu let out a soft moan, instinctively pressing her legs tightly together and arching her waist a bit. In her beautiful eyes, tears shimmered, yet they softened in that moment.
Her legs squeezed together tighter, her gaze seemed anxious, but more than that, she was filled with anticipation. She looked at Jiang Huai, whispering, “I want… to let Jiang Huai Gege pinch again.”
“Then I’ll pinch here too.”
In the next second, her waist arched even higher. Her fingers gripped the quilt tightly, and as her waist finally relaxed, her heartbeat raced furiously.
Jiang Huai pulled down the quilt completely and gently pinched Luo Qingyu’s small face. “This means you can’t keep tossing and turning every night. I’ll randomly check every week. If you don’t listen… then the kiss I promised you for finishing your dance practice will be canceled.”
“Eh…” Luo Qingyu looked at Jiang Huai, looking aggrieved, and after a few seconds, she softly mumbled, “Qingyu understands.”
“Rewarding yourself doesn’t have to mean hurting yourself; there are other ways.”
“What else can I do…”
“After we return to the sect, you can ask your mother.” Jiang Huai pinched her ear lobe again. “Alright, can you sleep obediently now?”
“Mm.”
Jiang Huai carefully helped Luo Qingyu put on her white socks before finally standing up and walking back to his own room.
………………………………
Jiang Xiaohu successfully suffered from insomnia.
Lying in bed, his mind was filled with thoughts of Luo Qingyu’s cute little white silk-clad feet, her soft, snowy white thighs, and those eyes that seemed to both invite and reject him, glistening faintly with tears.
For the past three years, he had countless opportunities to do bad things to Luo Qingyu, as she never resisted. Whatever he said, she complied. Many times he had managed to endure, but she was supposed to be his future Dao Companion, and he never felt a need to hold back.
But if he actually harmed Luo Qingyu, he would lose something precious.
Jiang Huai vaguely felt that his mentality was quietly shifting. If the moon in the sky was always out of reach, why should he keep chasing after it?
He tossed and turned in bed multiple times until drowsiness finally overtook him, pulling the small quilt over himself and closing his eyes.
He decided not to think about it and let things unfold naturally!
………………………………
The next day, rain fell on the mountains.
When Jiang Huai woke up, Luo Qingyu’s little face was right in front of him.
His cheek felt the tickle from her eyelashes, and he nearly jumped up, only to bump his forehead against hers. Luo Qingyu covered her head, pouting slightly, looking pitifully at him.
“Hmm?” Jiang Huai blinked in surprise, rubbing his eyes.
“Aunt Chu asked me to wake Jiang Huai Gege.”
“Oh, so were you just trying to sneak a kiss from Jiang Huai Gege?”
“No, I didn’t get to.”
“Oh, if you had, that would’ve been a problem!” Jiang Huai sat up, looking at Luo Qingyu, who was dressed in a long, snow-white skirt. “Lift your skirt for me to see.”
Luo Qingyu obediently stood by the bed, reaching for her skirt and lifting it up. Jiang Huai watched as all the red marks on her long legs faded away, letting out a quiet sigh of relief. “Alright, you can let it down now.”
Luo Qingyu put her skirt back down obediently, while Jiang Huai stood up and took a set of white clothes from the closet, putting them on in front of Luo Qingyu. She sat on his bed, her cheeks flushed, her eyes a bit shy.
But Jiang Huai couldn’t shake the odd feeling that she was about to salivate.
Once he finished dressing, Luo Qingyu ran to his side and wrapped her arms around his arm, standing in front of the mirror, her eyes sparkling. “Jiang Huai Gege looks really good in this outfit.”
“Mm, you look great too.” Jiang Huai pulled out a Bamboo Bone Umbrella from the closet.
