Tao Zhi clutched his phone in bewilderment for quite a while.
Why had he suddenly asked if he liked them?
There were so many skirts.
All kinds of styles.
Even just looking at the pictures, he could tell they were expensive—completely different from his ten-yuan T-shirts and pants.
Tao Zhi didn’t dare reply carelessly. He was afraid that saying the wrong thing would ruin Fu Zheng’s plan. In his eyes, these rich people were all pretty strange.
So, Tao Zhi was extremely cautious. He forwarded all the chat records from that day with Fu Si Heng to Fu Zheng and asked him how he should reply.
But what was even stranger was that the more urgent the situation, the slower Fu Zheng was to respond.
He had sent the chat records, but after waiting nearly five minutes with no reply, Tao Zhi anxiously kept glancing toward the door. Yet he couldn’t see any sign of Fu Zheng.
Why hadn’t he come back yet?
Should he go look for him?
Fu Zheng had said he was stepping out for a smoke, so he should be at the stairwell landing or the corridor window.
Tao Zhi had just gotten ready to stand up when his phone rang opportunely, interrupting his movement.
He looked down.
With no reply for so long, Fu Si Heng had sent another message: 【Hm?】
“…”
Fine, he would reply to Fu Si Heng first. It wasn’t right to keep leaving him hanging.
Tao Zhi looked over all the pictures again.
As a guy, he couldn’t really say if he liked girls’ clothes or not. He could only try to view them neutrally. Finally, he carefully replied: 【They’re very pretty.】
But then.
Little Cute Bunny: 【The skirts seem a bit short, though.】
Out of the more than ten sets of skirts, almost half were short skirts.
Another small portion were short dresses.
The length… just barely covering the butt.
Fu Si Heng: 【Short?】
Fu Si Heng: 【I thought you liked wearing short skirts.】
Tao Zhi: Huh?
What massive misunderstanding was this?
Tao Zhi hurriedly denied it: 【No such thing!】
The skirt from yesterday had been picked by Rong Huai. When he first put it on, he had felt it was too short. Later, when he went out with Fu Zheng and walked on the road, he kept feeling a cool draft behind him, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
It was only after using Fu Si Heng’s suit jacket to cover his legs that he felt a bit more at ease, without the worry of exposure.
How could he possibly like wearing short skirts?
Fu Si Heng: 【Oh.】
Immediately after, he sent over several more pictures.
This time, they were all long skirts.
All styles of long skirts—knee-length, nine-points, ankle-length, everything imaginable. Tao Zhi’s eyes went dizzy, and on his phone screen was the familiar line: “So, do you like these?”
Tao Zhi: “…”
Tao Zhi wasn’t the type to assume things about himself, but Fu Si Heng was being so obvious that it was hard not to take it personally.
He clutched his phone for a while before tentatively typing: “Excuse me, are these ones you want to buy for me?”
Fu Si Heng replied quickly: 【Yes.】
Ah…
Tao Zhi was even more bewildered now.
Fu Si Heng was so strange. Why had he suddenly thought of buying skirts for him? Was it because the current ones weren’t good-looking?
Tao Zhi was puzzled and expressed his confusion.
When Fu Si Heng received this message, he first looked up at the ID photo of Tao Zhi on his computer screen.
A gentle, well-behaved little guy.
He looked quiet and shy, smiling at the camera in front of him.
Very cute.
Timid and afraid of trouble, yet loyal.
He had no idea how someone with that personality managed to get along with Fu Zheng.
When he had caught him beating up Fu Zheng, he was clearly terrified to death, yet he didn’t run away. Instead, he braced himself and entered the room.
Cold sweat had broken out all over him.
…
His neck was so white.
The cold sweat trailed slowly along the lines of his cheeks, landing on his collarbone, teetering, then slipping into his collar.
At this thought, Fu Si Heng’s Adam’s apple bobbed faintly.
And when he was dressed as a girl.
Anyone could see how unaccustomed he was, like he had forgotten how to walk. He stumbled several times, same hand and foot, full of flaws.
So clumsy.
Now even idiots could become scammers?
He had no idea what methods Fu Zheng had used to lure him into doing these things.
Probably money?
Fu Zheng did like doing stuff like this.
At this possibility, Fu Si Heng couldn’t help but scoff.
If that was the case, then money was probably what Fu Zheng lacked the most right now.
Since Fu Zheng couldn’t provide him with good things, his poor little roommate only had that one short skirt to wear back and forth.
In that case, he might as well step in.
It would also let him see just what tricks the fool and the little klutz could pull, and what their ultimate goal was.
So, providing some convenience midway was just a casual thing.
Nothing more.
Fu Si Heng lowered his head and typed: 【No reason, just buying some casually.】
Fu Si Heng: 【Not expensive.】
Hmm.
They probably weren’t expensive for rich people like them.
But Tao Zhi could feel the extravagance radiating from the pictures alone. How could they be cheap?
Yet Fu Si Heng kept asking: 【Do you like them? If you do, I’ll buy them for you.】
To ease Tao Zhi’s worries, he even added proactively: 【I’ll have my assistant deliver them to your school’s security office. You can just pick them up.】
“…”
Tao Zhi scratched his head.
He wasn’t sure if he should accept them.
He had no particular feelings about women’s clothes; they were just tasks assigned by Fu Zheng. He couldn’t say if he liked or disliked them… So, he still needed to ask Fu Zheng.
