Chapter 204 : Beautiful Girl
Chapter 204 : Beautiful Girl
Xifeng realized that the worst decision she had made in her life was inviting Bei Yaoyue to come browse CP27 together.
Whenever Xifeng saw something she wanted to queue up and buy, she would be mercilessly shot down by Bei Yaoyue: "You can buy this online, let's buy it online when we get back."
"I want to buy this."
"You can buy this online too."
"Then let's go look at this."
"They sell this right across from our neighborhood."
No matter what Xifeng requested to buy, Bei Yaoyue always gave the same response. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and shouted at Bei Yaoyue: "Are you insane?! Although you can indeed buy these things online, isn't the point of browsing conventions to directly buy whatever you want to buy when you see it? Isn't this the same as you girls going shopping for no reason and buying whatever clothes you see?"
"Thanks for asking." Bei Yaoyue looked sideways at Xifeng and raised an eyebrow. "I don't go shopping."
"......"
Being choked up by Bei Yaoyue like this, Xifeng almost couldn't catch her breath and nearly fainted. She pursed her lips in displeasure, not wanting to waste any more words with this unreasonable person, and turned around to directly go into a Gundam model shop by herself.
Although Xifeng hadn't been a plastic model enthusiast before, she had still assembled several Gundams. Usually after finishing them, she would stuff the completed Gundams in a cabinet to collect dust—as everyone knows, the process of building Gundams is the most interesting part, and the finished Gundam afterward is just worthless junk that no one would want even if given for free.
After a brief search, Xifeng quickly found a Gundam she had long intended to purchase—Bandai's Hi-Resolution Model Wing Zero Custom EW. Those pure white wing feathers really hit her XP perfectly.
"You're interested in this stuff too?" Bei Yaoyue, who had somehow followed her in, asked Xifeng. This was the first time she'd heard Xifeng was interested in this kind of thing... what was this called again?
It seemed to be called... Gunpla?
"Yeah, haven't you heard this saying?" Xifeng raised her index finger. "Only sissies do women, real men should do Gundam."
Bai He, who got the joke, almost burst out laughing, though she remembered there was another version of this saying—only sissies do women, real men should do men.
"You're a man?" Bei Yaoyue keenly caught the key point in Xifeng's words and asked mercilessly.
"Of course I'm..."
Xifeng wanted to directly answer "Of course I am," but then thought better of it. This kind of verbal bravado was completely useless and might even cause trouble, so she held back and said gloomily: "Mind your own business."
"Are you going to buy it?" Arms crossed, Bei Yaoyue looked down at the large box that was even bigger than Xifeng's body. "You can buy this thing on..."
"Yes, yes, yes, you can buy it online." Xifeng, knowing what Bei Yaoyue was going to say, interrupted her tearfully. "My dear sister, I beg you to shut your noble mouth."
"I'm serious." Bei Yaoyue helplessly rubbed her temples. "Such a big box—don't you think it's tiring to carry it back? Why not buy it online when you get home and wait for the delivery guy to bring it to your door?"
"That's different!"
"How is it different?"
"...I don't know." Xifeng answered quietly, then turned her back.
"......"
"Anyway, it's none of your business. I'm buying it with my own money—does it bother you?"
"Fine then." Understanding that her dissuasion would be ineffective, Bei Yaoyue sighed helplessly. "I'll say this upfront—I won't help you carry the box. You can hold it all day yourself."
At this moment, a phone ringtone suddenly rang, interrupting the two's bickering. Feeling her phone vibrate, Bei Yaoyue answered: "Hello?... Mm, we're here at the Bandai Model Shop... Mm, okay."
Putting her phone back in her pocket, Bei Yaoyue said: "Sister Zhenzhen has entered. She's heading our way now, let's wait here for a while."
Taking advantage of this time, Xifeng ran to the cashier to pay—a total of 1,200 RMB, which was 100 yuan more expensive than buying on Taobao, but she didn't mind.
A few minutes later, the three met up with Ye Zhenzhen, reforming their mobile squad.
Seeing Xifeng carrying a large bag completely disproportionate to her body size, Ye Zhenzhen directly walked over and took it from Xifeng's hands, smiling: "Miss, let me carry it."
Being with the young miss almost every day, Ye Zhenzhen was quite aware of just how frail her young miss really was—she could literally be blown away by a level-five wind.
Witnessing this scene, Bei Yaoyue couldn't help but click her tongue, though she said nothing. Ye Zhenzhen caring so much about Xifeng wasn't a bad thing, and it seemed her five-figure monthly salary wasn't going to waste.
"Hey, look, that girl is so pretty."
With an exclamation, Xifeng pointed at a girl sitting behind a booth not far away. She had beautiful long hair like a black galaxy, a soft and delicate face shape, and although her refined cheeks showed she was wearing heavy makeup, it looked pleasing to the eye. A pair of dark eyes sparkled brilliantly under the eyeshadow's enhancement.
If a perfect appearance scored 100 points, this girl could definitely get over 85 points from Xifeng. Beside the girl were several other girls whose looks were all comparable. So many beautiful girls sitting together was quite impactful.
Bei Yaoyue looked in the direction Xifeng pointed and immediately saw those several young girls dressed up elaborately. In front of the girls' booth were stacks of books—they appeared to be selling books.
The figures of the several girls quickly overlapped with several names in her memory. Bei Yaoyue opened her mouth, hesitated, then touched her nose and smiled: "Go see what books they're selling."
Bei Yaoyue's request puzzled Xifeng somewhat. She walked forward to the booth, and the prettiest girl among them even flashed her a brilliant smile.
Xifeng smiled back and looked down at the book displayed on top.
The cover was a photo of the lower bodies of several girls standing side by side, all styled in absolute territory—the combination of over-knee socks and pleated skirts made one's mouth go dry.
"Their Secret"
This was the title, and below it was a line of small text.
"A new attempt by Tenmon Kadokawa, opening the door to a new world for you."
"What does this mean?" Xifeng couldn't help but mutter in confusion—why did this book seem like riddles?
"Ever heard of the Alice Trap Group?" Bei Yaoyue said quietly in her ear. "The person in front of you is called Haoge, quite famous."
"But he's a man."
