[CH.14] Hidden attribute (Cup size D+)
This is indeed quite a strange scene.
Zhang Jingya, with a bizarre makeup, only pokes her head out of a high window and tells the collapsed Alice on the ground that she is a cheerleader.
Zhang Jingya confesses to Alice in a tender, motherly tone, saying, "I like you, be my girlfriend."
Alice's cheeks turn slightly red, and she avoids eye contact. She bites her rosy lips, opens her mouth slightly, and then slowly closes it. An awkward expression appears on her face.
The words of rejection rise in Alice's throat as she organizes her thoughts in her mind...
However, was Zhang Jingya really confessing seriously?
Suddenly, Alice realizes that something doesn't seem quite right. Her magical girl system hasn't popped up the notification for an increase in affection points.
This can only mean two things: the confession was just a joke, and she currently has no romantic feelings for Zhang Jingya.
With this realization, Alice finally manages to control her gradually chaotic emotions. She takes a deep breath and frowns, saying, "Are you messing with me, by any chance?"
"Bingo, you got it right! Applause for you!" Zhang Jingya stretches her arm out of the window and claps dramatically. "You truly are a magical girl, so clever. But you could have reacted a bit faster~ just a tad."
Zhang Jingya elongates her tone, emitting a sweet laugh.
She is very satisfied with Alice's reaction and leisurely leans on the window frame, admiring the changes in Alice's facial expressions.
Through the slight changes in Alice's expression, Zhang Jingya sees some clues.
Perhaps the reason Alice dislikes men is that she has someone else in her heart.
Pure, unrequited love is like an unripe fruit - not only sour but also puckering to the mouth. Only those who embrace love can taste the sweetness hidden within.
If others were to witness their shyness, they might also experience some of the sourness and sweetness, even inadvertently be infected by the atmosphere, reminiscing about their own innocent experiences.
Through Alice's blushing cheeks, for a moment, Zhang Jingya seemed to see her past self.
Innocent, petite, embracing pure love, simple, and adorable.
She truly wished that the person Alice liked would respond to her affection because...
Returning to her thoughts, Zhang Jingya sighed softly, "Ah. If only I were a man, then I could find a way to make you fall in love with me."
"If you say something like that again, I really will get angry!"
Alice had been teased by the other person repeatedly, and by now, she was genuinely annoyed. She raised an eyebrow, and a dark line appeared on her forehead. Unfortunately, she was still too weak, and her stern expression quickly crumbled.
But Zhang Jingya was also a considerate girl. After hearing Alice's complaint, she completely put away the smile that had been on her face and sincerely apologized to Alice.
"I'm sorry, I did go too far. For you, love must be a pretty serious matter, and I shouldn't joke about it."
Zhang Jingya's head was heavily made up, and only her head was visible in Alice's line of sight.
When Zhang Jingya bowed to apologize, she looked like a floating sunny-side-up egg in the sky. And in this sunny-side-up egg was wrapped in a bright yellow net, the whole shape had nothing to do with a human anymore.
After her apology, she turned slightly and suddenly threw a black jacket out of the window. The jacket spread open in the air like a net and covered Alice's head.
With her vision obscured, Alice quickly pulled the jacket down from her head.
Alice pouted and exclaimed, "What are you up to now?"
"Just take it and wear it."
"I don't want it."
"Don't be angry. Sitting on the ground makes you catch a chill, and you've been shivering from the beginning."
She looked down at the jacket in her hand. What the other person had thrown was a quite thick leather jacket with many decorative metal pendants sewn onto the outer leather, giving it a heavy feeling when held. The inner lining of the jacket still carried a faint warmth close to body temperature, mixed with a hint of perfume, as if it had just been taken off someone.
Alice was indeed feeling a bit cold. Sweat had glued her clothes to her smooth skin, taking away her body heat as it evaporated. And every gust of wind felt like tiny, sharp needles piercing her body, bringing the chill sensation.
She did need some extra clothing.
Alice lowered her head, said a very soft "thank you," and silently draped the jacket over herself.
Zhang Jingya leaned on the window, smiling gently. She was very happy that Alice accepted her jacket; the joy of helping others always warmed her heart for a long time and relaxed her mind.
However, the happiness in Zhang Jingya's heart was about to turn into an irreparable frustration...
The jacket was a bit small for Alice, especially around the chest area. Alice couldn't fully zip it up no matter how hard she tried, resorting to leaving the zipper in the center position after attempting to suck in her breath and press her chest.
"It seems a bit small..."
"Hmph, it's just that you're too fat!"
"What! Am I fat?"
Zhang Jingya let out an annoyed hum, perhaps realizing that she was being inappropriate about such matters and quickly turned her gaze away, using a gesture of smoothing her hair to divert her excess attention.
However, Zhang Jingya's gaze continued to drift uncontrollably towards Alice's chest.
Alice had a good figure to begin with. However, her attire with knee-high socks and a sailor uniform drew visual attention mainly to her thighs, making it easy to overlook the curves in her chest area.
In other words, Alice had a hidden "busty" attribute. Her petite size might seem thin and delicate, but with a different outfit, she could display some shapeliness.
And precisely because of her petite stature, if one were to make a serious comparison, purely in terms of visual appeal, the curves in Alice's chest could even be more thrilling than those of her senior, Li Meiting.
Of course, when comparing actual sizes, Li Meiting's were slightly larger.
Zhang Jingya's tone of voice had subtly changed.
"I seem to have kept you chatting for too long. If I don't get back to work soon, the manager will have some complaints. By the way, are you okay being alone in this alley?"
"Of course, I've rested enough now, and I should be able to move in a little while. And my senior... she'll come to pick me up. As for your clothes—"
"Just consider that I'm giving it to you. After all, it's a bit small for me, and I was actually thinking of buying a new one..."
Zhang Jingya's voice got quieter as she spoke, to the point where she couldn't be heard anymore.
Behind the wall, Zhang Jingya placed her hand on her chest. The small, soft area could be entirely covered by half of her hand, and even through her clothes, there was no sign of any curves – it was completely flat.
A sense of defeat surged within her, and Zhang Jingya inexplicably felt that she had lost miserably. However, she encouraged herself not to give up, believing that there would be another chance in the future – as long as she drank more milk, she would grow bigger!
"But this jacket must be expensive..."
"Not at all—if you really want to give it back, I work here on Wednesday and Friday evenings. Just come to the store and call my name then. That's it for now, I'm signing off!"
Zhang Jingya hastily finished speaking, pulled her head back inside, and slammed the window shut with a loud thud.
