Chapter 155: Definitely Look at You in a New Light

“Xiaonian, stop playing around. The one downstairs is Fu Huai’an, so how can you let me wear a skirt in this weather to meet him?”
Lin Nuan’s face and neck had already grown red from the thought alone.
“Why are you so scared of Fu Huai’an? Is he a wolf or something, able to gobble you up? Acting so conservative, you might as well wrap yourself up like a dumpling and wear two layers of the ugly pig masks; Fu Huai’an will definitely look at you in a new light, and he’ll never want to see you again.”
Bai Xiaonian snatched the pair of denim jeans in Lin Nuan’s arms away, replacing it with the denim skirt.
“Pants!”
Lin Nuan’s heart picked up pace as she reached out to snatch it back, but Bai Xiaonian dodged her.
“If you could wear a backless gown to the station’s anniversary party, why are you so closed-off facing Fu Huai’an, not even daring to wear a skirt? Lin Nuan, since when did you become so cautious and timid when facing another person?”
“Give me the pants!” Lin Nuan was frustrated and embarrassed.
“Wear the skirt! This skirt isn’t even exposing, it’s your skirt from two years ago, and it’s not as though you haven’t worn it these past seasons. Don’t think I’ve forgotten!”
Lin Nuan kept silent. “…”
Song Yao leaned against the doorframe as she watched Bai Xiaonian and Lin Nuan argue in the bedroom, and she couldn’t help but laugh…
It was as if they had returned to their university days, when they lived carefree and noisy.
Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian argued for five to six minutes before she gave in grudgingly and put on the skirt, conscious of how Fu Huai’an had been waiting downstairs for her for such a long time.
Inside the elevator, Lin Nuan gripped her shoulder bag tightly as she used her reflection in the lift walls to check her outfit. It wasn’t especially cold in Haicheng yet, so it was pretty normal for girls to be out wearing a sweater and a short skirt paired with white shoes. There were plenty of girls dressed in a similar fashion on the streets, so it was completely normal.
As Bai Xiaonian said, it wasn’t as if Lin Nuan had never worn the same style of outfit in that weather before.
The reason why Lin Nuan’s heart was beating so fast and why she felt so uneasy was, probably, because the person she was going to meet was Fu Huai’an.
Ding—
The elevator stopped at the ninth floor, and Lin Nuan moved in to make more space. Two girls who looked about twenty-four or twenty-five years old entered, happily discussing their exes, one sporting long hair while the other had short hair. They both wore shorts with long-sleeved airy sweaters, following the latest trend of hiding their bottoms with their long shirts. Their long legs were exposed, and they wore plain slippers.
Lin Nuan’s heartbeat slowed. Compared to the two girls, her outfit wasn’t particularly exposing her to the chill, so she felt relieved.
“Your ex is nothing; my ex-ex-ex-boyfriend was a really weird straight guy. He actually said that when girls don’t wear pants, they’re purposely seducing others, and if girls wear skirts out in the middle of the night, it serves them right to get raped. His values and morals are really weird!”
Lin Nuan’s heart started beating faster again, and she bit her lips gently, unable to comprehend the main point of the girl’s words. She only pondered over whether straight men really thought that way. If so, should she be a coward and go back up to change to pants?
Glancing sideways at the elevator wall, it reflected her with red ears as she bit on her lip.
“Don’t bite your lips, or I’ll keep thinking that you’re trying to seduce me…”
Fu Huai’an’s deep and attractive voice from that night in the bathroom rang beside Lin Nuan’s ears, and the sweater felt too warm for Lin Nuan. The sweat on her palms was getting onto her bag.
Ding—
Once the lift reached, the two girls walked out first, arm in arm as the other laughed and said that fortunately, she had not met such a weird man.
