Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Have I not grown any taller all these years?!

Shocked, Xiaomeng looked at herself in the dressing mirror from left to right, and damn it, it really fit her perfectly.

How sad.

Putting aside her sadness for the moment, she took off her coat, revealing the white shirt that came with her school uniform underneath. Then, following the example in the picture, she wrapped the coat into a loop and tied the two sleeves around her waist.

perfect!

Xiao Meng twirled around in front of the mirror twice, her sleeves swaying with the movement, a sight that even she found somewhat novel.

But I still feel like something's missing...

Got it! Hair!

Twin tails are so unsuitable for delinquent girls!

She untied the hair ties that held her hair in two places, and her blue hair, which had been tied into two bunches on the sides, was no longer restricted and gathered together in the middle.

Her slightly wavy blue hair cascaded down her back, reaching her waist, a stark contrast to her usual double ponytail style.

"Wow... I feel like I've matured... uh, one or two years?"

Okay, actually the changes aren't that big.

And then there's Xiaomeng's original creation!

Since the goal is to highlight individuality, how about going for something unconventional?

For example, keep the white over-the-knee sock on the left leg, but change the sock on the right leg to a short sock. Isn't that bad enough?

Anyway, Xiaomeng is secretly delighted. She finds it incredibly fun, even though it's just a few moves.

Finally, she picked up a lollipop from the table, unwrapped it, put it in her mouth, and struck a pose that she thought was cool.

Seriously, even if she's a little girl, she's a naughty little girl now!

Yu Zhe must be quite surprised, huh? Serves you right for always saying I'm like a child.

She twirled around in front of Xue'er again: "Xue'er, how is it? Does it look good?"

The well-behaved Samoyed barked loudly, as if to say, "Beautiful."

"Haha, good boy, good boy."

Hmm? Oh right, didn't Mom and Dad ask her to go out for dinner?

Let them see it first!

Try to find that slightly rebellious feeling...

Feeling that she had prepared herself enough, Xiaomeng took a deep breath and pushed open the door to go out!

"Dad! Mom! I'm not eating! I'm not hungry today!"

Xiao Meng tried to speak in a strong tone, but little did she know that it actually sounded soft.

"......" "......"

Even Xiaomeng's mom seems to have never seen anything like this before.

As for Xiaomeng's father, he stared blankly at Xiaomeng and said, "Who is this? Where did you hide my daughter...?"

Then he burst into tears: "Honey! You said we didn't need to worry about her, but Xiaomeng has gone astray! Look at what she's wearing!"

Little Meng's mom couldn't be bothered with him...

Although I don't know what Xiaomeng means by this, is this all it takes to be considered "going bad"?

It's just a change in clothing style.

However, Xiaomeng's dad

Xiaomeng was very satisfied with the reaction; it seemed that the person was indeed very bad!

However, knowing that this adorable little mom was not bad at all, she decided to play along.

"Hmm? You're not eating anymore? Okay, then, honey, let's eat. Xiaomeng isn't hungry."

"Oh dear, Mom, I was just kidding."

Xiao Meng quickly smiled and sat down at her seat at the dining table.

Xiaomeng's dad breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew~ It's okay to joke, but you can't joke like that with Xiaomeng. So what are you doing dressed like that?"

"Hmm? Going to see a friend!" Xiaomeng replied after taking a bite of rice.

This answer made Xiaomeng's father frown.

Even Xiaomeng's mother advised, "Xiaomeng, although I always say that I can't be too strict with you, you have to remember that we can't play with bad kids."

"Huh? No, no, no, Mom, you've misunderstood! I'm going to see Yuzhe. I'm going to his place tonight."

Realizing that Xiaomeng was telling the truth, Xiaomeng's mother's furrowed brows immediately relaxed.

"Oh, I see. Xiaomeng, this is something like cosplay, right?"

Xiao Meng's eyes widened. "Mom, you know quite a lot?"

7. Is this safe to go out in?

Of course! Although Xiaomeng's mom has only been doing housework at home all these years, she has actually looked at a lot of anime-style cosplay to help Xiaomeng put together cute outfits.

Speaking of which, I'm a long-time anime and manga fan.

Little Meng's dad didn't have time to be surprised by these things he didn't understand; he was just worried.

“Xiaomeng, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, it’s just that you’re being inconsiderate. You might think this outfit looks good, but who is Yuzhe? He’s the eldest son of the Su family! What kind of manners does he think you’re dressed like this? It’s good enough that he doesn’t find it offensive! It’s all mismatched.”

He initially thought that Xiaomeng was going through a rebellious phase, and that since he had spoken so harshly, she would definitely argue back, then re-examine herself and draw a new conclusion.

Unexpectedly, she only gave a simple response: "To be honest, that's true."

"what?"

Xiaomeng's dad was completely baffled. Knowing it was true, why did you still wear it? Weren't you trying to win Yuzhe's favor?

Yes, Xiaomeng's dad used to be firmly against Xiaomeng dating, but ever since Xiaomeng's mom persuaded him last time, he's had a change of heart.

If given the chance, he would also like to help his daughter get closer to Yu Zhe.

"Sigh, Dad, you just don't understand!"

Xiao Meng took a bite of her food: "This is also a strategy. I know what I'm doing, so don't worry unnecessarily."

"What are you worrying about...you silly child..."

He wanted to say a few more words, but Xiaomeng's mother shook her head and asked with a smile, "Xiaomeng, are you going to Yuzhe's house for dinner tonight?"

"Mmm." Xiaomeng nodded. "Oh right, Dad, if you're free around dark this afternoon, could you drive me there?"

"Sure, sure... but why do you change your mind so quickly? And can't you go by yourself?"

Just a moment ago she was saying "Don't worry about it." But now I still have to make him deliver it.

"How can I go out like this?!"

Xiao Meng pointed to her outfit and said, "These clothes are only suitable for taking my own car! I'd be embarrassed to go out for even a short while!"

"..."

Okay, Xiaomeng's mom is right, the child understands very well and is indeed not rebellious at all.

........................... ..

Yu Zhe slept until almost noon before getting up.

When he came out of the room with Yu Che, Zi Xiao and Xiao Lizhi were watching TV in the living room.

"Brother, let's have breakfast and lunch together, it's already this late anyway."

Zixiao is right. After all, whenever Yuzhe has free time, he basically doesn't have time to eat breakfast... He'll have already slept through that time.

Little Lychee, on the other hand, immediately sprang to her feet like a spring when she saw Yu Zhe come out, and went to observe the place where she had put up the wallpaper yesterday.

"What are you looking at?" Yu Zhe asked as he walked over.

"Hmm... I want to see how to peel this wallpaper off." Little Lychee frowned. "Yesterday, Brother Yuzhe told me to clean all this up... I'm afraid if I don't finish by lunchtime, I'll be kicked out..."

How could I possibly kick you out over something so trivial!

Yu Zhe chuckled inwardly, actually wanting to tease her some more.

"Okay, you have one minute. If this place can't be restored to its original state, you can leave."

"Ah! One minute?! Zixiao said we had a whole lunch break! Oh wait... no time to complain! I'll get right now..."

"Hahaha, I was just kidding you. Why are you getting so worked up? Little Lychee, self-cultivation is very important. You should be able to read people's words."

"Huh?"

Little Lychee didn't blush with embarrassment as Yu Zhe had expected, realizing he was just teasing her.

Instead, she seemed visibly relieved: "So, I can finish before lunchtime and won't get kicked out?"

"We won't kick you out!"

Yu Zhe gave her a good whack on the head, which was so dense.

He also noticed a detail, so he turned his gaze to Zixiao.

"Zixiao, did you tell her that if she didn't finish cleaning up before lunch, you'd kick her out?"

"I was just joking with her, who knew Xiao Lizhi would take it seriously."

Ah, this... Yu Zhe must have been joking just now.

But are you sure Zixiao was joking? It's hard to say.

"No need for further treatment."

Yu Zhe pointed to the wallpaper: "Aren't we having a small pre-New Year's dinner tonight? We can just use what we got yesterday, so there's no need to decorate again. Isn't that great?"

"Great!"

Little Lychee knew she didn't need to study the wallpaper anymore, so she happily jumped back onto the sofa to continue watching TV.

She had been looking at it for a long time, but how could she possibly know how to remove the wallpaper without damaging the wall?
