Chapter 338: Even if His Gaze is Drawn by Me in the Future, Would That Be Okay?
“Ah, th-that is…”
Su Lan Qian’s face instantly turned crimson. She wanted to argue a few more words, but she just couldn’t find the right excuse.
So, she could only shift the topic to her outfit: “But this is too revealing.”
“It’s not my fault you’re falling way behind. You need some heavy-duty medicine to catch up!” Liu Meng sighed leisurely. “If I don’t do this, how can you possibly catch up with everyone else? You’ve got to trust your teacher’s eyes.”
“……”
Su Lan Qian stared at the exposed clothing in her hands, falling into silence — just the thought of wearing such an outfit in front of Bai Feng made her cheeks flush with embarrassment, ears slightly pink at the edges.
Seeing her recoil slightly, Liu Meng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly — this little thing really keeps her on her toes. Luckily, she was prepared; she’d made some “potent medicine” in advance for her disciple.
So she lowered her head softly and told Su Lan Qian, “I bought many outfits like this for myself. From now on, I’ll always wear clothes like this. If you refuse to change into this one, even if my gaze pulls his attention away, would that still be okay?”
Su Lan Qian’s eyes widened in shock—she hadn’t expected her master to be so… shameless! To actually snatch a man from her own disciple!
Seeing Liu Meng’s mischievous smile, she couldn’t help but retort: “Bai Feng wouldn’t do such a thing…”
“Hehe…”
Liu Meng merely chuckled softly without reply. Whether Bai Feng would or not wasn’t the point. The important thing was she had planted a seed in Su Lan Qian’s mind — she believed that one day her disciple would wear the outfits she bought.
“Alright, let’s head back.”
Having said that, she turned and walked over to Bai Feng’s side, continuing their discussion about optimizing the portable array disk. Su Lan Qian hurriedly tucked away her outfit and followed, but Liu Meng’s words kept echoing in her mind.
An hour later…
“Senior Sister Su? Senior Sister Su?”
A voice snapped Su Lan Qian out of her daze. She looked at Bai Feng, who was standing right in front of her. For a moment, she wondered what she was thinking — her face suddenly blushed bright red.
“Did you sleep well last night?” Bai Feng asked softly, concern in his voice. “Do you need to rest for a bit first?”
“N-No, I just…”
Su Lan Qian quickly shook her head. She didn’t know how to explain herself. Ever since her master Liu Meng said those things, she’d started unconsciously paying more attention to Bai Feng’s gaze. Every time he looked at Liu Meng, she couldn’t help but clutch her clothes nervously.
Even though she kept telling herself it was just normal curiosity, her mind kept racing with wild thoughts.
She grit her teeth and, under Liu Meng’s push, finally made up her mind: “Um, I’ll go change my clothes.”
“Now?” Bai Feng looked a bit confused, glancing at Su Lan Qian’s attire — it wasn’t dirty, after all!
“Yeah, I’ll be right there!”
With that, she was about to head out, but Liu Meng caught her arm.
“No need to make things so complicated,” Liu Meng said with a faint smile of satisfaction. “This space isn’t small, right?”
“Huh?”
Su Lan Qian was suspicious — did she hear her master correctly? Was she asking her to…
Before she could dwell on it, she saw Liu Meng using some wooden boards and white cloth to set up a simple changing booth.
“From now on, just come here every day to change,” Liu Meng nodded approvingly.
“……”
Su Lan Qian looked at the makeshift changing room in the corner, then glanced at Bai Feng who was curiously watching her. Suddenly, an idea to replace her master’s position popped into her mind.
Finally, she blushed again and stepped into the makeshift clothes room. She reached out to touch her clothes but hesitated to undo them — Bai Feng was right outside, only separated by a wall… No, it wasn’t even a proper wall, mostly just white cloth with a few pieces of wood.
Thinking about Bai Feng watching her, her heartbeat quickened.
Outside the changing room, Bai Feng looked at Liu Meng in confusion. “Master, you just said that wanting a space means doing… this?”
“Hmm, sometimes clothes get dirty from the array materials, so it’s good to have a place to change,” Liu Meng explained with a smile, meanwhile transmitting a secret message to Su Lan Qian: ‘Stop dawdling; the longer you stay in the changing booth, the longer Bai Feng and I get to be alone.’
Su Lan Qian: “!!!”
Without hesitation, she hurriedly took off her clothes and put on the outfit Liu Meng bought for her.
But the skirt was so short that she felt uncomfortable — bending over just a little would reveal everything beneath. Her master had even prepared some “pants,” but they were white, thin stockings that felt almost like not wearing anything at all.
Her upper body outfit only covered her chest slightly and was held in place by a delicate golden string, exposing her shoulders and collarbones. Her arms, however, were covered by sleeves that separated from her outfit, making it look less like something she’d wear daily.
But maybe this way, she could get closer to Bai Feng — her skin, once hidden by clothes, could now absorb his scent…
Imagining the intimate scene with Bai Feng, her breath grew ragged.
She slowly lifted the white cloth that concealed her, then stepped out of the changing room.
Liu Meng examined her with satisfaction and nodded: “Hmm… My taste isn’t too bad after all.”
Bai Feng was puzzled, head full of question marks — what was happening? Why did Su Lan Qian suddenly change into such an outfit?
By the way, Master, aren’t you going to say something? Oh, it’s this changing room that the master set up, and probably these clothes were also given by her, so no worries.
Though, actually, these clothes looked pretty good — Liu Meng’s eye for fashion was definitely on point.
Bai Feng looked at Su Lan Qian carefully, then turned to Liu Meng, only to see her already moving to the doorway.
“I just remembered I have a bit of something to do, so I won’t bother you anymore.”
With that, she gently pushed the door open and slipped out.
Seeing this, Bai Feng finally understood what Liu Meng was up to — was she just unable to watch and was helping Su Lan Qian out?
“Uh…” Su Lan Qian tugged at his sleeve. “What are we going to do next?”
“…What do you think we should do?” Bai Feng gazed at her flushed face and gently pulled her into his arms.
