Knight Asylum

"I look like this anyway, it doesn't matter what I wear!"

"Hmm? Wanna make a bet?"

Reid's eyes suddenly lit up with a light that was so dazzling that Qiao instantly lost his temper and avoided his sight.

"I'll bet, but I won't wear those weird clothes!"

"Eh--"

"Worry! Bet or not!"

"Okay, these clothes, but, uh, in normal sizes, ok?"

"……Fine."

Qiao pouted, opened the door, and walked straight to the nearest service staff holding the clothes. Red took this opportunity to go to the store where various berets were displayed.

Because she was worried that Red was going to do something new, Qiao stood on tiptoe to look in Red's direction from time to time even when she came to the waiter.

"that--"

Seeing that Qiao was absent-minded, the waiter curiously followed Qiao's line of sight. The moment he saw Reid, the waiter suddenly realized and smiled ambiguously.

"Boy friend?"

Qiao was stunned and quickly turned his head back, raising his voice, "No!"

Because the sound was a bit loud, everyone else looked over.

The waiter was stunned and subconsciously wanted to apologize, but the waiter keenly noticed that Qiao Ying's ears hidden under her hair turned red.

"Ah~ I see, you're not my boyfriend yet. Excuse me, sir, do you want to measure my size? Please follow me."

The corners of Qiao's mouth twitched, but in the end she did not deny what the waiter said.

Chapter 943: She is not the daughter of origin

“Eh? Eh—eh!”

Looking at the measuring tape in his hand, the waiter widened his eyes in surprise and kept looking up at Qiao who was putting on her coat.

"Is there any problem?" Qiao was not stupid. Of course he knew what the waiter was talking about, so he asked in a bad mood.

"Ah- sorry, I just, am a little confused as to why you are dressed like this... it's really a waste."

The waiter, noticing that Qiao was unhappy, immediately bent down to apologize, then began to explain awkwardly with gestures.

Qiao is about 177cm tall, which is quite tall among women. Her body proportions can be said to be quite that of a supermodel. However, even a supermodel's figure cannot withstand clothes that are one size larger, loose and thick.

The waiter was sure that Qiao could charm everyone if she dressed up a little bit and walked on the street.

"Why should I do things to please others?" Qiao Bu Shang was shocked.

"Well - it's not about trying to please others, it's just about showing your strengths."

"I don't think it's a plus, and I don't like being stared at."

Damn! This is the most troublesome type of guest!

The waiter's mouth twitched.

To be honest, normally she would just give up, after all, it’s not like she doesn’t buy clothes, but it’s rare to meet someone with such a good foundation, even she feels a little itchy.

"Uh—do you want to try on this dress?"

Not giving up, the waiter took out another white dress. It had no extravagant decorations and was very simple and low-key.

Qiao stared at the dress in the waiter's hand and fell into silence. She did not refuse at the first time, which made the waiter cheer in his heart. But before the cheering lasted long, Qiao stood up and turned her face away.

“…I am not suitable to wear this kind of clothes.”

“Eh?! How could it be inappropriate…ah——”

Only then did the waitress realize that she had neglected Qiao's hair because she was too absorbed in her supermodel figure.

Maybe it was because she hadn't had a haircut in a while, her permed and dyed hair had already fallen to her neck. The hairstyle that had only been popular for more than ten years didn't seem strange with Qiao's outfit, but if it was paired with the white dress in her hand, there was a sense of incongruity everywhere.

"That's it."

Qiao shrugged, pushed the door open and ran into Red, who looked very proud.

"Deng deng deng-"

Red pulled out a black octagonal beret from his backpack like he was presenting a treasure.

"Use this to hide your hair!"

"..."

After a brief silence, Qiao turned her head to look at the waiter who was holding the dress, let out a breath as if giving up, took the hat from Red's hand and walked back.

Red tilted his head and blinked.

When the door was roughly kicked open again, not only Red, but everyone else in the clothing store was stunned.

The black boots fell, the white skirt fluttered, and the beautiful face and white neck under the black beret were generously displayed under the light, just like the white moonlight described in the book, but the cold aura turned the white moonlight into a white rose with thorns.

Behind the girl, the waiter was covering his mouth with an expression that said it was worth it.

"If you dare to laugh, I will kill you, seriously," Qiao raised his eyes.

"Hmm - now it's like eighteen," Reid commented seriously.

"You're so annoying! Give me your coat!"

Qiao raised his knee and hit Red's butt, then he ripped Red's coat off and put it over his shoulders, although this was no different from trying to cover up the truth.

"gone!"

Qiao, who felt like his head was about to explode, grabbed Red's wrist and dragged him out.

The shy yet pure youth made the people present subconsciously look at them with envy and blessings.

The waiter also subconsciously raised his hand to say farewell, then sighed that this was youth, and turned around to continue working.

I always feel like I've forgotten something.

"Customer! You haven't paid yet!"

The waiter rushed out screaming.

G, she has to use her own salary to pay for the youth of young people.

Before he had taken a few steps, a man in a suit came towards him.

"From today on, you are the manager of this store."

"……Eh?"

As she ran, Qiao slowed down her pace. It was the first time she wore a dress, and the chill was one thing, but the skirt brushed against her legs, making her feel very uncomfortable.

"So? What's the next battle?"

Qiao took a deep breath and turned to face Red.

Qiao wanted to pretend that it was no big deal, but she knew that the more she acted concerned, the more interesting Red would find it.

"Clap-"

The flash shattered the cleverly disguised indifference.

“Stop taking pictures!”

"Hey - keep it as a souvenir!"

Red immediately raised the phone above his head. Shame made Qiao forget her current dress. In order to hook the phone in Red's hand, Qiao pressed against Red's chest and stood on tiptoe.

The soft touch made Red stunned, and it was during this moment that Qiao snatched the phone away.

"No souvenirs allowed! There won't be a next time!" Qiao deleted the photos in the album angrily. After making sure that there were no souvenirs left, Qiao forcefully stuffed the phone into Reid's pocket.

"do you understand!?"

"Oh - don't worry, I'm confident in my memory! I promise I won't miss even a single detail!"

As he said this, Red stared with his eyes wide open as if it was a serious matter.

"Goo-"

"Just kidding, let's go——"

Red laughed and stretched out his right hand to Qiao.

"I heard there's a self-service movie theater nearby. Do you want to go and watch a movie about Orphino?"

Qiao stared at Red's right hand for a while, and subconsciously raised his right hand to put it on, but he always felt something was wrong, so he raised his left hand and shook it. His clumsy look made Red couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What's the problem?" Qiao glared at Reid angrily.

"No, nothing~"

Red bent down and took Qiao's left hand, pointed forward with his right hand, and walked forward with a smile.

"Let's go——"

Qiao snorted uncomfortably and turned his face away, but did not shake off Reid's hand. His fingers trembled slightly, as if he was worried that Reid would notice, and he tightened his fingers very slowly.

"Hey - it looks like a strong candidate for the Daughter of Origin has appeared -"

Zhan Ji Lingma walked out from the shadows, pulled down his sunglasses, looked at the backs of Reid and Qiao, and smiled with great satisfaction.

“That’s great—”

Sagara walked out from behind Sengoku Ryoma, stared at the backs of Red and Qiao for a long time, and frowned.

"No—she is not the Daughter of Origin."

"Huh? Why?"

A tiny crack opened up silently.

Sitting on the ancient corrupt throne, Luo Xiu'ao looked down through the crack at Red who was pulling Qiao's hand forward.

With a sigh, Luo Xiu'ao closed the crack and looked at the sarcophagus behind the crack.

Chapter 944 Let’s go! We are in a good mood!

Although it is a self-service cinema, it is more like a more luxurious Internet cafe with good sound insulation. It has a double sofa, a projector, a screen, and that's it.

Most of the guests come in pairs, and they are required to pay a cleaning deposit when paying.

It goes without saying what happens here.

Qiao, who has a strong ability of observation, judged the situation through other people's reactions when she first entered the self-service theater, but she didn't want to show a panic expression in front of Red again, which would make her seem very... caring.

"Click——"

Reid locked the door.

"What do you want to do!?" Qiao jumped up and picked up the pillow on the sofa to block in front of him.

"...Yeah, aren't we going to discuss the specific battle plan next? Wouldn't it be awkward if someone suddenly barged in?" Red rolled his eyes. "But you, why are you reacting like that? Even I would be sad, okay?"

"…I'm sorry, I just…Right! It's all because of this outfit!"

Qiao tightened the Reid coat around his shoulders, carefully sat down on the edge of the sofa, and pressed his legs tightly against the edge of the sofa, as if he would run away at any moment.

"Okay, okay - how about a time around ten?"

Red picked up the remote and pressed a button, bringing up the first of the classic Orphic horror films.

"Well, it's all right."

Qiao moved her body awkwardly. This was not the first time she and Red sat together in a private space to watch a movie. In fact, the distance before was even as close as sleeping together, and she didn't think anything of it at that time.

But now she cared a lot. Even though Red didn't touch her, she had a strange feeling of being warmed by Red's body temperature.

Could it be that he is sick?

After taking a peek at Red and making sure that Red wasn't looking in his direction, Qiao quietly took out his cell phone and entered his situation into it.

The relevant answer came soon.

[The female in my heart has awakened]

Bullshit!!!

Qiao turned off the phone angrily.
