Chapter 72: d*mn, So Perverted
Upon hearing these words, Hu Yu Ying, face flushed with self-doubt, caught sight of Dragon Brother’s suspiciously perceptive gaze. Her eyes shifted downward, instinctively sensing where he was looking.
Feeling Dragon Brother’s stare, Hu Yu Ying’s confidence plummeted even further. “Yes, yes, I’m sorry, Bro,” she mumbled, biting her lip before turning to leave.
Her heart was heavy—finally, a chance to hang out and grab a bite with Dragon Brother, and now it might all be ruined…
“Ah~~” Hu Yu Ying instinctively let out a surprised cry, feeling her whole body suddenly lifted off the ground. She’d been caught off guard, a little frightened.
Before she knew it, Dragon Brother had hoisted her onto his shoulder with a grin. “What are you calling for?”
“Daring to stand me up, Dragon Bro? You’re getting bold,” she retorted, trying to sound tough but secretly dreadfully embarrassed.
“Not at all! Come on, don’t be like that, Bro,” Hu Yu Ying insisted desperately, her cheeks burning, her heart pounding wildly against her ribs.
The sensation from her backside shot straight to her face—so embarrassing, she felt like slumping into a hole. Her face grew redder by the second.
She hurriedly covered her cheeks with her palms, trying to hide her flustered face but didn’t resist when Dragon Brother strutted along, carrying her like a princess.
After spankings and rough handling, Dragon Brother paused for a moment—wow, that was so effortless! Feeling the warmth of his hand, her mind spun, her body stiffened slightly, and a crimson blush crept up her ears—she could even feel sweat forming on his palm from the unexpected grasp.
He cleared his throat awkwardly. “I told you not to be disobedient,” he said, sounding uncertain about his own excuse.
The shopping mall was directly below, and Dragon Brother dragged Hu Yu Ying straight into the women’s clothing and shoe section.
Now that she’d been spanked, Hu Yu Ying no longer dared to protest. She let herself be led into the store, her little hands clenched tightly in nervousness.
Once inside, Dragon Brother squatted down and gently lowered Hu Yu Ying onto the bench.
As their profiles briefly aligned, Hu Yu Ying’s eyes sparkled with tiny shards of hope.
The moment her feet hit the ground, she spun around anxiously, afraid he’d see her flushed face. She bit her red lips, heart throbbing so loudly it was all she could hear—so shy, so nervous, afraid he’d catch her heartbeat.
Just as Dragon Brother waved over a staff member, Hu Yu Ying finally snapped out of her anxious daze. “Bro…!”
“Shut your mouth,” he snapped.
“No, it’s just… I still have lots of…” Hu Yu Ying started, but he cut her off with a fierce glare.
“Say one more word, I’ll punch you so hard you won’t be able to crawl,” he warned, cracking his knuckles.
She glanced at the price tag on her shoes and mumbled softly, “So expensive.”
“I’m treating you, tightwad,” Dragon Brother chuckled, amused.
But the tag’s price still lingered in Hu Yu Ying’s mind: “Scam merchants.”
“What are you mumbling about? Sit down already!” he barked.
She lowered her head and sank onto the shoe-changing bench. “I could buy two pairs of shoes in town with this price…”
Then, seizing a moment when the clerk was busy fetching shoes, she lightly tugged at Dragon Brother’s pants. “Maybe I should buy some slippers. Honestly, slippers are the most comfortable.”
Summer slippers are cheap, transparent in price, so even in a mall like this, Hu Yu Ying could afford them herself.
“Are you done yet?”
“I don’t want Dragon Bro spending money on me,” she blinked with pleading eyes, soft and clinging.
“Thinking I won’t punch you as a warning?” he warned, raising a fist.
Hu Yu Ying quickly obediently sat on the bench, giving him a sheepish look, then diverted her gaze shyly.
As he looked at the shoes the clerk brought over, Dragon Brother looked back at her. “Is it you or me taking them off?”
Hu Yu Ying wanted to protest, but when she saw his gaze, she hesitated, “I—I’ll do it myself.”
Their dynamic drew even the store clerk to chuckle. “Your boyfriend’s buying you stuff. What’s so shameful about that?”
Since Dragon Brother was carrying her in front of everyone, attracting quite a few eyes, Hu Yu Ying quickly waved her hands, wanting to explain. But hearing “boyfriend,” her brain went blank. She couldn’t think, only felt her heart pounding.
They say we’re classmates, Dragon Brother said, drawing closer.
Hu Yu Ying subtly peeked at him out of the corner of her eye, then lowered her gaze to her canvas shoes.
“Oh, I see. You’re really close,” the clerk said with a laugh, glancing at Hu Yu Ying’s blushing face. Seeing Dragon Brother’s slightly furrowed brow and reddening ear tips, she said nothing more, just took out another pair of shoes from the box.
“Do you like this style? It’s the latest—haven’t even hit the shelves yet. What size do you wear?”
She looked at Dragon Brother first, then told the clerk, “Size 37.”
Soon, the clerk brought out two of the newest shoes.
Hu Yu Ying hesitated, slipping off her shoes shyly.
Her small feet in black high socks, hidden beneath her pants, looked fine—nothing wrong there.
But once she pulled up her pants, the black socks paired with the white shoes looked… off. Uncanny.
“Want two pairs of these socks? The no-show boat socks,” the clerk asked as she didn’t hesitate to retrieve them, implying outright: “I’ll take these two shoes.”
“Do the socks need changing too?” Hu Yu Ying blushed, whispering.
“Mm,” Dragon Brother nodded.
Hu Yu Ying didn’t push further, grateful the socks were free.
The clerk laid out a white pair, a pink pair, two small socks in total.
Hu Yu Ying took them, starting to peel off her socks.
Once her socks were completely off, she couldn’t help but look up at Dragon Brother. He quickly turned his head, pretending to be indifferent.
But she clearly caught the sound of her swallowing nervously, and the faint sound of her own heartbeat pounding.
Dragon Brother cleared his throat twice, mind flashing with images of her delicate ankle, petite and elegant…
…d*mn, so perverted!
Hu Yu Ying quickly averted her gaze, feeling her face burn. She was so embarrassed, yet underneath that shame, a different feeling—something complex—began to spread inside.
The no-show socks were tiny, only covering her heels. Once she put her shoes on, they neatly disappeared inside, making her look sharper and neater.
【Thanks for the gift—much appreciated! Heart you!】
