Chapter 109: Being Able to Eat is a Blessing
The two of them finished shopping and headed to the flagship store.
Xu Xiaofeng was wearing a mainly blue dress adorned with some white flowers, complete with sleeves and a knee-length skirt. She paired it with little white socks and flat leather shoes, her hairstyle back to its original style, radiating a vibe of youthful nobility—a true medieval lady, albeit flat-chested.
Xu Xiaoyue opted for the same trendy outfit as Xu Xiaofeng’s bestie, her long, straight black hair adding to her cool-girl style.
With both of them strutting down the street, they were like a live-action billboard for attention—ratings skyrocketing to 200 percent!
Noticing all sorts of gazes coming from every direction, Xu Xiaofeng instinctively tugged on Xu Xiaoyue’s sleeve.
She was used to this kind of attention at school or in games, where the only stares came from students or some social media trolls with built-in safety nets. But out here? Who knows if the onlookers were friendly or had other intentions?
Xu Xiaoyue, aware of her brother’s reclusive tendencies, simply took her hand.
“From now on, come out with me more often; you’ll get used to it. By the way, didn’t you say you’re tough?”
“Huh? I guess…yeah?”
“Then what are you scared of?”
Oh right!
With one punch, I could flatten a 200-pound British strongman. Why should I worry?
Feeling her strength surge, Xu Xiaofeng got fired up: “Little Moon, if you run into trouble, just let me know, and I’ll handle it with one hand!”
Looking at the suddenly inflated confidence of her brother, Xu Xiaoyue could only chuckle.
Her quirky personality was eerily similar to the little sister in the game. She was discovering yet another adorable trait of her “big brother.”
As they navigated through the curious gazes of the crowd, they entered the flagship store, only to be told that it was too crowded and they needed to take a number to queue.
Checking the number, they discovered there were still over thirty people ahead of them. It looked like they wouldn’t get out of there until the afternoon.
Xu Xiaofeng huffed, “It’s your fault for insisting on buying formal clothes first—we could’ve finished this sooner!”
“Eh! I’m on break today; no rush.”
Xu Xiaoyue casually replied, secretly delighted.
Queueing up was fine, especially if they had the time to go window shopping while waiting!
With that, she dragged Xu Xiaofeng off to explore more.
The first stop was the lingerie store, where she suggested they grab some basics. But Xu Xiaofeng was adamantly against going in.
This wasn’t just crossing a line; it was right on the edge of taboo.
Xu Xiaoyue had no choice but to let it go. One step at a time—things had been progressing quickly lately, no need to rush it.
For girls, clothes were just the basic requirement; there were also cosmetics, jewelry, and bags to think about.
Cosmetics were easy enough; Xu Xiaofeng had been using some lately, so no issues there. Jewelry was a bit trickier—bracelets and chains were uncomfortable to wear, and not having ear piercings made earrings a hassle too. They ended up settling on a ring.
Yet Xu Xiaofeng still scrunched her face in distaste.
Because it wasn’t as pretty as her Life Stone! Plus, the rings in the game adjusted themselves perfectly without any discomfort.
The last item was a bag, which Xu Xiaoyue selected. She chose a stylish one that cost about a thousand bucks.
Looking at the bag, Xu Xiaofeng thought longingly of her little bamboo basket. Oh, that was way more practical!
She had been wearing such items in the game all along, so she accepted them naturally.
Xu Xiaoyue, on the other hand, was completely baffled. She just didn’t get her brother’s standards for acceptance—some things were outright rejected while others were perfectly fine.
But hey, as long as the result was good, that’s all that mattered!
As for the shopping spree? Xu Xiaoyue picked up the tab. She’d been raking in a decent amount from the streams with Nuclear Bomb Little Sister’s fan base.
However, those last two gaming cabins? Definitely on “Lady Wind’s” budget.
By noon, they found a spot to grab some lunch.
The moment Xu Xiaofeng sat down, she dove straight into the menu.
She quickly made her selections, circling a bunch of items.
“This one, this one, and this one.”
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at her choices, puzzled. This didn’t seem like the kind of food she usually liked.
“Is that really enough?”
“If it’s not enough, you can still order!” Xu Xiaofeng waved a hand. “Waiter, over here! In addition to the ones I picked, bring one of everything else. Two helpings of dessert, please.”
“Huh?” Xu Xiaoyue froze for a moment. “I don’t eat dessert.”
“What? What do you want? You’re a grown-up; do you need me to order for you?”
“But what about these—”
“Of course, they’re all for me!”
“I…wow…”
Xu Xiaoyue’s mind short-circuited; it was a full-on system crash in the ICU.
Let’s sort this out.
At first, I thought she was picking the wrong dishes, but no, she was excluding options. I assumed she’d ordered enough, and then bam—desserts came in double portions!
I thought she was ordering for me, only to find out they were all for her, and she was telling me to order my own…
Is this what feeding pigs looks like?
The waiter had his own doubts, but seeing the blonde girl didn’t seem to be joking, he went off to deliver the desserts.
When the desserts arrived, Xu Xiaoyue was still in shock. Maybe she had pushed her brother too hard lately, and now her brain was just fizzling out. Otherwise, why was she acting like a well-behaved robot today?
But it didn’t seem like she had done anything extreme—just a gradual approach. It would be a waste not to take advantage of such good resources.
Then she turned to see Xu Xiaofeng was already making a feast out of it.
One bite here, another plate gone.
“Big bro, are you really okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“Huh? What problems could I possibly have?”
Xu Xiaofeng replied, still munching away, completely unaware of how she could manage to eat without pausing for breath.
“But you used to not be fond of desserts, and you definitely couldn’t handle this much!”
“Eh! Today I suddenly figured some things out. Got my thoughts straightened out. Once your mind is clear, food tastes incredible!”
Uh…that explanation makes some sense.
But what doesn’t make sense is that, while she was talking, she had already polished off four plates and showed no signs of stopping!
“You’re going to gain weight eating like that.”
“Don’t worry, I know my limits. Back in the day, I once devoured ten plates in one sitting, and after moving around a bit, I bagged three more without breaking a sweat.”
“…”
When did you ever do that? How come I didn’t know?
Xu Xiaoyue went quiet, just watching her eat to see if she was actually bragging.
In the end, it was clear—she was NOT exaggerating.
The most mind-blowing part? After all that, her stomach showed no signs of changing!
Could it be your stomach is a bag of holding?
In the end, Xu Xiaoyue barely nibbled on a few items to keep up appearances. She had completely lost her appetite watching Xu Xiaofeng devour her food.
