You're my wife, don't doubt it!

In the awkward moment, before Ms. Li could even make a move, Yu Luying had already taken the initiative and helped her remove the wedding dress.

"Thank you." Shen Jie asked Ms. Li, the shop assistant, for directions to the changing room, then raised her arm high, took her wedding dress, and walked through the door with the sign that read "No Men Allowed."

Yu Luying gestured for Miss Li to wait there and not to follow, and then hurriedly followed after her.

The changing area is a fairly large room with many small lockers for storing clothes and personal belongings, as well as many small cubicles for customers who value privacy.

"Oh no, I forgot my shoes. Luying, could you get them from my bag? The bag is with Xiao Yao... Never mind, I'll just go get them myself."

"It's okay, sister, I'll go get it." Yu Luying turned and walked out again.

Shen Jie opened a cabinet door, took off her canvas shoes, stuffed them inside, stood barefoot on the ground wearing socks, and then untied her long skirt.

The long dress didn't need to be taken off; simply unbuttoning one button revealed its full form. Shen Jie neatly folded it and placed it in the locker.

Next, the top.

Just then, a tall, beautiful woman in high heels and a long wedding dress walked out of the locker. She looked to be in her early twenties and was at least 175cm tall, which made Shen Jie very envious.

The tall, beautiful woman strolled to the mirror, smoothed her hair, and glanced at Shen Jie casually. She looked first at her face, then at her feet clad in nude socks, and finally her gaze swept over the girl's abs and bra, before she gave a disdainful sneer: "Ha."

Shen Jie was somewhat bewildered. Normally, she would have ignored such unwarranted provocation from a stranger, but unfortunately, she wasn't in a good mood right now.

"Excuse me," Shen Jie turned her head, feigning composure, "what's so funny?"

“No,” the beautiful woman calmly turned her face to the side, but her eyes were still glancing at Shen Jie: “I remembered something happy.”

Did Yu Luying just say that?

Shen Jie suddenly lunged forward, closing the distance to within a step of the tall beauty, and raised her head to stare into her eyes: "I'm asking you, are you that happy?"

"Are you crazy?!" The tall, beautiful woman took several steps back, but Shen Jie pressed on, "Have you even grown your pubic hair yet? You little brat, trying on wedding dresses like an adult?"

"What's it to you?" Shen Jie sneered. "Did I spend your money?"

"It's none of my business," the tall, beautiful woman said hastily, about to leave, but still stubbornly insisted, "I just can't stand you young girls these days, trying to win Thirteen Orphans with just a One of Bamboo and a Two of Dots, how about that..."

"What are you saying?" Shen Jie deliberately dragged out her words.

"Once you grow to be a little more legal, you'll understand what we're talking about." The tall, beautiful woman had already disappeared by the time she finished speaking.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Yu Luying appeared silently next to the locker, carrying a pair of sparkly high heels.

"It's nothing, nothing at all." Shen Jie loosened her clenched fist and pretended to lightly pat the dust off her shoulder: "We were just chatting."

“What’s the point of talking to strangers?” Yu Luying said.

"They were so engrossed in chatting that nobody knows what they were talking about."

"?"

Shen Jie sat on the leather stool, sullenly stuffing her feet into her high heels.

I wore stockings when I went out today, not only to please Xiao Yao, but also because I rarely wear high heels and wanted to feel a bit more comfortable.

"These shoes seem to be a little too big..." Shen Jie muttered.

It's really hard to buy shoes for someone with a size 34 foot—children's shoes are too small, and adult shoes are generally too big, which often bothers Shen Jie.

This is especially true when it comes to high heels.

These Jimmy Choo crystal shoes were size 35, because that was the only size available at the time. Shen Jie herself couldn't explain why she hadn't forgotten to take them with her when she ran away from home.

Yu Luying helped Shen Jie pick up the wedding dress and opened a slightly ajar door to a private room.

The two squeezed into the cramped changing cubicle, facing each other.

The wedding dress was difficult to put on, so Yu Luying helped her.

"Inhale, pull in your stomach, tighten your waist!" Yu Luying instructed while pulling on the waist belt in her hand.

"Am I that fat?" Shen Jie muttered to herself, feeling frustrated.

"No, no, my figure is just right, not too fat, not too thin." Yu Luying said honestly, "She looks slim in clothes, but has a muscular figure when she takes them off."

"Uh..." Shen Jie looked at herself in the mirror and felt a little unfamiliar.

To be fair, this wedding dress is definitely a bit too sexy.

I knew it was low-cut when I picked it up, but I never expected that this style would reveal my cleavage when it was tightly wrapped.

Moreover, from behind, it looks no different from being shirtless.

To be honest, even I, let alone "that guy," couldn't accept this level of difficulty.

"Luying, this really won't do, I'd better take it off," Shen Jie said.

"Okay, fine." Clearly, Yu Luying also realized that this was a bit outrageous.

When Yu Luying was helping Shen Jie take off her wedding dress, Shen Jie asked her, "Luying, when I really get married in the future, will you be my bridesmaid?"

“Okay—” Yu Luying answered without hesitation, then changed her mind and said, “Let’s forget it.”

The unspoken part was, "If it's about marrying Xiao Yao."

Shen Jie was silent for two and a half seconds: "Actually, you came here on purpose today, not because you were genuinely interested in looking at wedding dresses, right?"

Yu Luying paused for a moment, then laughed: "How could any girl not be interested in a wedding dress?"

"Do you still like him?" Shen Jie blurted out, a direct question.

"Did you ever like him?" This time, Yu Luying wasn't surprised or stunned; she simply slapped the ball back.

Now it was Shen Jie's turn to be dumbfounded. After a moment of hesitation, she asked another, even more absurd question: "Do you like me?"

"Do you like me?" Yu Luying emphasized the word "you".

Then there was a moment of silence, and then the two girls looked at each other and started giggling.

“Luying, since that’s the case, why don’t you pick one out too?” Shen Jie suddenly suggested.

"what?"

Chapter 105 Cinderella vs. the Black Queen

2023-02-10

*This chapter is also known as "Quantum Sisters".

In the end, Yu Luying couldn't resist Shen Jie's enthusiastic invitation.

She didn't have high heels, so Shen Jie told her to wear her own first, since it's best not to wear the studio's shoes if possible.

“I’ve never worn high heels before,” Yu Luying said.

"Never?" Shen Jie was a little surprised. She herself had a pair of little leather shoes with 1.5 cm heels when she was 5 years old.

“Never.” Yu Luying shook her head.

“Your mother is really too strict. You’re so old, and she still has to control you.” Shen Jie couldn’t help but recall the time she saw Yu Luying, who was covered in ice armor and impervious to thorns and spears, yet she couldn’t see or hear.

Yu Luying pursed her lips: "No, my mother doesn't care much about these things. I just think it doesn't comply with the 'Middle School Student Code of Conduct' and the 'Middle School Student Daily Behavior Norms'."

Yu Luying's expression was so serious that Shen Jie spent a long time guessing whether she was joking or serious.

"I don't think I can wear your shoes, right? My size should be bigger than yours," Yu Luying said as she took off her silk stockings.

The way she took off her socks was different from Shen Jie's. The latter would usually take them off all the way down and then roll them into a ball, while Yu Luying would first take them off to the soles of her feet, then use two fingers to pull the toes off, and then fold them neatly like a handkerchief.

"It's okay, this brand of shoes just runs big. Try them on and see—what's your shoe size?" Shen Jie regretted it a little. She figured that with Yu Luying's height, she probably shouldn't have suggested this.

Yu Luying stuffed the folded socks into her pocket and put them away, then slipped her smooth, bare feet into the shiny Jimmy Choo shoes.

And just like that, I put it on.

Yu Luying reached out and touched the back of her shoe: "It seems... just right, maybe a little tight, just a tiny bit?"

As she spoke, the girl stood up, carefully maintaining her balance, and tried to walk, but almost fell over again.

Shen Jie quickly helped him up and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"How annoying, still laughing," Yu Luying complained.

"I'm laughing. These crystal shoes don't fit me, and you can't walk in them either. Who was dancing with the prince last night?"

"?"

"Oh, right, maybe we're all Cinderella's sisters," Shen Jie said, feigning sudden realization.

Shen Jie thought she was just joking, but Yu Luying thought she was being sarcastic and couldn't help but get annoyed, saying, "Sister—Shen Jie, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"I didn't mean to say anything," Shen Jie said.

“Xiao Yao chose you, and I respect his choice,” Yu Luying said with some emotion. “From the day you ran away from Xiao Yao’s house, and I grabbed him, but he jumped down to chase after you without even putting on his shoes, I knew that he had made his choice.”

Shen Jie watched her quietly and listened to what she had to say.

“From the moment he made his choice, I’ve only ever considered him a friend,” Yu Luying said, her breathing calming down a little. “In fact, it was his request. If you want me to cut ties with him, I will do so.”

"I could definitely do it without symbiosis," Yu Luying thought.

Therefore, this does not count as lying.

“Luying, believe me,” Shen Jie said, holding Yu Luying’s small hand. “I really, completely, didn’t mean that.”

“I don’t want to be Cinderella, and Xiao Yao isn’t exactly a prince charming. You don’t need to play the Black Queen here,” Yu Luying said wearily.
