Chapter 154: Underwear Drama
In the dead of night, Xia Yu found herself once again reluctantly opening her eyes and then turning over. Indeed, without Miss Jiang (sister) by her side, it was incredibly hard to fall back asleep…
Xia Yu couldn’t understand what had happened. She had only spent a few days with Jiang Kekai (sister), yet she felt so dependent on her. How strange.
Unconsciously, in the darkness, Xia Yu recalled moments they had spent together, thinking wistfully how wonderful it would be if Jiang Kekai were actually her sister. Then they could always stay together.
Indeed, Xia Yu was still just a primary school student who was rather naive and easy to deceive. She was also quite emotionally dense. Therefore, she never dared to think about having Miss Jiang (sister) as her wife.
As she drifted off to sleep thinking about these things, by the time she felt a bit drowsy and dozed off again, she didn’t even know what time it was. The next day, Xia Yu slept in until she naturally woke up.
Sitting up, she stared blankly at the cute room Jiang Kekai had prepared for her, wondering what she was thinking. After a while, Xia Yu finally got up, brushed her teeth, and washed her face.
Maybe due to insomnia last night, Xia Yu’s head was now feeling heavy, yet she didn’t want to go back to sleep… click click click
Hearing this sound, Xia Yu looked up and saw her brother Xia Le snapping photos with a new smartphone she’d never seen before. Seeing Xia Yu’s curious gaze, Xia Le put away his phone and chuckled awkwardly: “No worries, no worries, just taking some photos.”
Even so, Xia Yu was still curious and walked over because she wanted to see what he had captured. “Let me see.”
Xia Yu extended her hand toward Xia Le, stating demandingly.
Looking at the expressionless and emotionless Xia Yu, Xia Le didn’t hesitate much and handed over the new phone docilely.
Still worrying and being reminded, Xia Le said, “Be careful with the phone, it’s pricey, and I only took a few shots of you. Nothing to worry about.”
Xia Yu swiped through the photos, and indeed, there were only a few pictures of her.
In the photos, Xia Yu was wearing the same fancy boy clothes from yesterday, with messy long hair. It was the perfect picture of a confused girl in boy’s attire, making everyone want to hug her.
About this new phone, Xia Yu assumed it was a gift from their parents to Xia Le, so she didn’t ask too many questions. After viewing it, she returned the phone and turned to continue washing up in the bathroom. Watching Xia Yu leave, Xia Le sat on the sofa next to her and asked Xia Yu Little Ling, who was fiddling with her laptop, “Hey, do you think Xia Yu has changed a lot recently?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Ling rolled her eyes at her brother and said sarcastically, “Bro, you only noticed now? She’s no longer your sidekick; she’s my younger sister. The wheel turns.”
Xia Le: “…”
Xia Ling had already called Xia Yu her younger sister multiple times. It wasn’t only Xia Le; even Xia Hong was used to it. He knew Xia Yu was his brother, so it was fine.
Before long, Xia Ling saw Xia Yu finish washing up and reminded her, “Little Yu, there’s a bowl of hot meat porridge on the table.” Xia Yu then went on to have breakfast…
Of course, while Xia Yu was eating breakfast, Xia Le didn’t forget to take more photos of her and send them to Lin Shao. Thus, the money kept flowing in easily. Today, Xia Hong and Wang Wenjuan didn’t have to work overtime, so they could leave work on time in the afternoon. They thought it would be great to take their kids out shopping and buy some essentials for their new home.
Last time, Jiang Kekai (Miss Jiang) followed Xiao Hong and made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, Jiang Kekai didn’t return with Xia Yu this time.
So after dinner at home that evening, the whole family set off in high spirits.
Since it was early, Xia Hong and Wang Wenjuan weren’t in a hurry. They slowly walked around with their children and bought them some clothes.
Yes, their kids will soon be attending city schools and can no longer wear those faded, yellowed clothes.
Throughout the shopping trip, Xia Yu was very quiet, much like she used to be. Before, she knew buying clothes wasn’t her concern anyway, so she cared even less.
Now, she had lost interest in everything. Whether she bought something or not meant nothing to her. Life seemed meaningless to her, which was one of the symptoms of Xia Yu’s psychological illness.
Xia Hong thought Xia Yu was mulling over not getting a new outfit before, seeing her expressionless appearance.
So, he covered Xia Yu’s head with a big hand and laughed, “Xiao Yu, you should choose some clothes now. If you find anything you like, tell me.” Xia Yu lifted her head slightly and looked at her father, but remained silent, just nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
Seeing this, Xia Hong and Wang Wenjuan felt helpless. Xia Yu seemed more optimistic when Jiang Kekai was around, and they had thought her psychological condition might improve.
But it seems she has reverted to her old self.
Xia Ling, of course, wouldn’t miss such an opportunity to become close with Xia Yu. Regardless of whether she was willing or not, Xia Yu happily held Xia Yu’s right arm while walking together.
After all, they were sisters now. What’s wrong with being intimate? Moreover, they were adorable twins.
Next, Xia Hong was determined. He not only picked out clothes for Xia Le but also chose several cool summer outfits for Xia Yu. How could he let his son wear dresses every day?
Xia Hong believed that Xia Yu wore her sister Xia Ling’s dresses because she didn’t have any other clothes. Now that they got her some new male clothes, perhaps she would become normal.
Otherwise, if this continued, he might start thinking he had a son and two daughters…
Wang Wenjuan knew about Xia Yu’s situation. She supported Xia Hong buying Xia Yu male clothes because she believed it was the best way to protect Xia Yu’s identity. If Xia Yu wore dresses all the time, especially skirts, they would eventually arouse suspicion from Xia Hong and reveal the truth.
After buying male clothing for Xia Yu and Xia Le, Xia Ling’s female attire was naturally not forgotten. Since the family had extra money now, they could spend more freely. “Little Yu, do you want to try on this dress?”
While trying on the dress, Xia Ling couldn’t help but try to pull a prank. She picked up a dress she had just tried on and gave it to Xia Yu. The look in her eyes full of expectation showed her disappointment as Xia Yu shook her head and refused.
It was similar to what Xia Hong was thinking. Xia Yu had worn skirts for so long with Jiang Kekai that she grew tired of them. Now, she wanted to return to her cool, masculine attire, which gave her more security.
Thus, Xia Ling wanted Xia Yu to change from her current male attire into a dress, which was impossible unless Jiang Kekai was there and insisted… “Fine, fine. If Little Yu doesn’t like it, then forget it.”
Xia Ling pouted and gave the dress to her mother, Wang Wenjuan, for disposal. She thought she could trick Xia Yu, but it didn’t work out.
A failure is a failure. But it didn’t affect the affection Xia Ling had for Xia Yu. If she became angry just because Xia Yu disagreed about not wearing a dress, it would be too petty.
Finally, Xia Le bought five sets of clothes, Xia Yu two sets of men’s clothing, and Xia Ling a skirt and a set of summer clothes.
As Xia Hong was about to wrap up the shopping and return the clothes to the car, Xia Le suddenly remembered something and led the way into a random shop.
When their family followed behind Xia Le inside the shop, they finally figured out what Xia Le wanted to buy.
Yes, it was underwear.
Xia Le was holding a box of boxer shorts, inspecting them from all angles, seemingly deciding whether to buy this kind or not.
The shopkeeper was an auntie with great professionalism. Seeing this, she started her pitch, “Fancy young man, these fit well for developing middle school students like you. Many students of your age have also bought these, as they are comfortable, loose, and breathable.”
The shopkeeper was trying to brainwash Xia Le, while Xia Hong considered whether he should get some for Xia Yu as well. Wearing old stuff is bad for health, especially as it restricts a little thing’s development.
After making up his mind, Xia Hong turned towards Xia Yu and said, “Xiao Yu, you should pick some out too. Choose what you like and remember, get them loose like your brother.”
Yes, Xia Hong didn’t know what Xia Yu liked, so he thought she should choose for herself like Xia Le did.
Xia Yu just wanted to wait quietly, but since her father had suggested it, she slowly stepped forward to pick out a box herself. She didn’t need to borrow Xia Ling’s underpants anymore.
At this moment, her mother, Wang Wenjuan, grabbed Xia Yu’s shoulder and stopped her.
“Wait, Xiao Yu. You’re not in a rush.”
If Xia Hong hadn’t mentioned it, Wang Wenjuan would have forgotten to give this new daughter some vital knowledge about her physiological changes.
Since Xia Yu now had different physiological needs from before, it was inappropriate to treat her casually, especially when it came to wearing male underwear.
So, what’s the problem? How can Xia Yu get female underwear without raising suspicion from Xia Hong?
Then, Wang Wenjuan looked at Xia Ling. Here was a solution!
“Xiao Ling, I’ll go with you over there to pick out some too.”
