Chapter 14 : Are You Really a Girl
Chapter 14 : Are You Really a Girl
"...Your chest?"
The unexpected answer left Bei Yaoyue momentarily stunned. She lowered her gaze to Xifeng's chest, and her face immediately turned black as coal.
Because it was so flat, it wasn't very obvious at first glance, but if you looked carefully, you could still see two small protrusions on the thin white T-shirt.
"You're not wearing a bra!?"
"..." Feeling guilty, Xifeng didn't dare to answer and just silently lowered her head.
Summer insects also fell silent for her—silence was tonight's Cambridge.
"Are you really a girl!?" Bei Yaoyue's willow eyebrows almost stood up, her tone carrying a trace of anger. "You're already fourteen and still not wearing a bra? Do you know that not wearing a bra during puberty can cause endless problems later?"
Why didn't this little vampire have even the most basic common sense about being a girl!?
If she hadn't accidentally seen her little maid's chest before, she would really suspect Xifeng's gender.
—I'm not a girl!
Although she really wanted to answer that way, Xifeng still pursed her lips and didn't respond.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make—staying silent was the safest approach.
She just couldn't quite understand why Bei Yaoyue was getting so angry about her not wearing a bra.
"Come with me."
Breathing out angrily, Bei Yaoyue grabbed Xifeng's hand and dragged her in another direction without allowing any argument.
"Where are we going?"
"First, to buy you some bras."

"Welcome."
The female shop clerk in her twenties wore a professional smile and bowed slightly to welcome these two young customers.
"Buy her two bras." Bei Yaoyue pointed to Xifeng, who was behind her with her head down, not daring to look around.
Although the clerk was young, she had worked in this shop for many years and was battle-tested, having seen it all. The silver-haired little girl in front of her was obviously shy with her head down—clearly her first time buying bras.
The clerk smiled knowingly at Bei Yaoyue and stepped forward to pat Xifeng's shoulder.
"Little sister, come with big sister over here."
"Oh... okay..." Nervously responding, Xifeng quickly followed without raising her head.
All around were various styles of women's bras and panties, even some lingerie pieces.
Having previously been a mentally mature adult male, being in such a place always made her feel like she was doing something sneaky.
Following the clerk into a closed small room, the clerk shut the door and smiled: "Is the one who brought you your sister?"
"...Yes." Xifeng chose to shamelessly lie, since she couldn't very well say "Actually she's my Master," could she?
"How old are you?" The clerk kept making conversation to try to reduce Xifeng's nervousness.
"Fourteen."
"Fourteen, that's a bit late. You should have started wearing bras earlier."
Taking out a soft measuring tape from her toolbox, the clerk showed a kind and gentle smile: "Come on, take off your clothes."
"Ah!?" Xifeng was shocked. "Why do I need to take off my clothes?"
Making her undress in front of someone else!?
"I need to measure your bust and cup size. Measuring while wearing clothes won't be accurate. Girls your age must wear properly fitting bras, or it will affect breast development." The clerk seriously educated her.
Although that seemed to make some sense, but... Xifeng didn't care about breast development!
She would rather stay flat-chested forever—how convenient that would be! Why look for trouble by growing those lumps of flesh?
"How about this—you turn around and take off your top, and I'll measure from behind you. Is that okay?" The clerk patiently negotiated with Xifeng. She wasn't the first shy little girl like Xifeng she'd encountered.
"But..."
"Be good, listen to big sister. Your sister is still waiting outside—don't make her wait too long."
"...Alright."
Understanding that she couldn't escape this destined ordeal, Xifeng could only hang her head in dejected resignation.
She turned around and timidly removed the T-shirt from her body.
Being topless in broad daylight, even indoors, still gave her an unbearable sense of shame.
Secretly praising Xifeng's enviably beautiful skin, the clerk said: "Raise your arms and lean forward forty-five degrees."
Xifeng complied.
"Hold still and don't move. This will be quick."
As the clerk's voice came from behind her, a hand holding the measuring tape passed under her armpit and then touched that plain that even she herself had never explored.
"Ah!"
Some sensitive switch was pressed by the measuring tape, and the unfamiliar, peculiar sensation made Xifeng's face flush red as she involuntarily let out an embarrassing cry.
Being accustomed to such things, the clerk had no reaction and quickly finished the measuring work.
"Alright, you can put your clothes back on."
She looked at the data she had measured and fell into contemplation.
"Bust 62.5cm, underbust 60cm." She reported the measurement results to Xifeng, couldn't help but click her tongue. This was really too... too flat!
A difference of less than 10cm between bust and underbust was already an A cup, less than 7.5cm was AA cup, but this difference of only 2.5cm... she had never seen before. You could say it was absolutely unique.
If she hadn't double and triple-checked, she would really suspect she had measured wrong.
"Is it done?" Xifeng quickly put her clothes back on.
"It's done. Go find your sister first. I'll come find you in a moment."
Getting her release order, Xifeng opened the door and fled as quickly as possible.
"Finished measuring?" Bei Yaoyue asked, looking at the embarrassed Xifeng.
She had also bought her first bra here, so she roughly knew what Xifeng had experienced, and a sense of... schadenfreude arose in her heart?
"Done." Xifeng's hands insecurely hugged her chest. She felt like she had lost something and would never get it back.
"What size?"
"You have the perverse interest of asking about other people's bust size too? How vulgar." Seizing a rare opportunity, Xifeng mercilessly mocked Bei Yaoyue, immediately feeling refreshed.
Not expecting to be countered by her own little maid, Bei Yaoyue's brow furrowed: "Getting cocky?"
Understanding the principle of knowing when to stop, after delivering one slap, Xifeng quickly followed with a sweet treat: "I'll reluctantly tell you. Bust 62.5cm, underbust 60cm."
She had no concept of what these numbers meant, so she said them without any consideration or reservation.
Hearing this data, Bei Yaoyue immediately fell into stunned silence. After pondering for a long while, she said with a strange expression: "That's so like you."
The innocent Xifeng still hadn't realized anything was wrong: "What's the matter?"
"Nothing."
Bei Yaoyue shook her head. At this time, the clerk from before approached carrying a small bag.
"These are the most suitable bras we selected for her—three sets total. Would you like to check them?"
"No need, we'll pay directly." She was a regular customer and trusted this shop's quality.
"Alright, that's 2,160 yuan total."
"??????"
Hearing the price for three bras, Xifeng was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't heard wrong, had she? Not 216 yuan, but 2,160 yuan!
Three bras cost as much as a Nintendo Switch!
Weren't bras things you could buy for ten-something yuan or at most a few dozen yuan? Had this shop gone crazy or had she gone crazy?
While Xifeng was falling into confusion, Bei Yaoyue had already finished paying.
"Let's go."
Walking out of the shop, Xifeng couldn't help asking: "How much was that again—2,160?"
"Yeah." Bei Yaoyue said matter-of-factly, as if 2,160 yuan was completely insignificant to her.
"Why is it so expensive!" Xifeng felt her heart bleeding. That was enough for three monthly subscriptions! Wouldn't it be better to spend it on gacha games? Wouldn't buying a few AAA games be better? Why buy bras!
"Victoria's Secret, the world's most famous lingerie brand. You haven't heard of it, have you?" Bei Yaoyue waved her hand lightly. "Consider these three pieces my gift to you—you don't need to pay."
"It's not..." Xifeng was momentarily speechless. This wasn't about who was paying at all. She wasn't short of this 2,000 yuan either, but she had no idea how to explain her thoughts to Bei Yaoyue.
That was 2,000 yuan! Wouldn't it be better to do something else with that money instead of buying three unnecessary bras?
"Why buy such expensive bras? With that much money, wouldn't it be better to do something else?"
Bei Yaoyue glanced at Xifeng and said with slight disdain: "Such an important thing as bras, and you'd dare wear cheap junk that costs a few dozen yuan?"
One rhetorical question directly confused Xifeng.
Were bras really that important?
Were bras that cost a few dozen yuan really unwearable?
As a (former) man, she really knew nothing about such things, but she always felt that Bei Yaoyue was fucking lying to her.
But the purchase was already made—there was no point dwelling on it further.
"Deduct this 2,000 yuan from my salary." Xifeng sighed. She didn't like owing favors to others, especially such an expensive "gift" worth over 2,000 yuan.
Although having Bei Yaoyue force the purchase as a gift and then paying her back did feel somewhat like forced buying and selling.
"You don't need to pay it back." Bei Yaoyue refused quite firmly.
"That doesn't seem right, considering it's over 2,000 yuan..."
"If you insist on paying it back, then repay it with your body."
