Shopping with Besties

As night fell, the lights of the commercial street gradually illuminated.

"Welcome~"

The crisp sound of wind chimes rang as Gu Ximan and Lu Xuexue stepped into the high-end lingerie store one after the other.

The salesgirl’s eyes lit up, and she immediately approached, unable to help but admire—these two beauties, one with a voluptuous figure and the other petite and delicate, were absurdly gorgeous.

Finally, she didn’t have to force herself to flatter customers dishonestly.

In this line of work, black could be spun into white.

But once a customer was pleased, they wouldn’t hesitate to splurge.

And the lingerie in their store was of premium quality, with steep prices—even a single sale could earn a hefty commission.

"What styles are you two looking for? We just got some new arrivals—let me show you first," the salesgirl said with a bright smile, her gaze subtly sweeping over the two.

D, B.

Gu Ximan confidently straightened her posture, brushing aside her cold tea-brown hair draped over her shoulders. "Miss, I’d like something comfortable, preferably full-coverage."

Full-coverage bras, as the name suggested—offered maximum support and security, the ultimate "true love" of bras for ample curves.

"Of course," the salesgirl immediately understood, retrieving a black lace bra from the display. "This is one of our bestsellers—made with ultra-fine modal fabric, strong support yet breathable, perfect for someone with your... ahem... generous proportions~"

She even winked.

"Not that big, really. Let me see."

Gu Ximan happily took it, examining it closely.

Lu Xuexue stood to the side, her gaze involuntarily drifting to Gu Ximan’s chest before glancing down at her own—under her JK blouse, there was barely any curve to speak of.

She bit her lower lip, then suddenly pointed at a light pink push-up bra. "Um... miss. I’d like to try this one."

The salesgirl blinked. "This is from our 'Miracle' series—3/4 cup, padded with thick foam, side panels designed to smooth bulges..."

She studied Lu Xuexue’s slender frame, pausing for a thoughtful moment before kindly suggesting, "But with your petite frame, you might find this triangle bralette more natural..."

The subtext was clear—honey, you’re still young.

"I just want to try it..." Lu Xuexue’s ears tinged pink, a hint of defiance in her voice.

Gu Ximan raised an eyebrow, giving her a teasing look. "Xuexue, comfort is the most important thing in lingerie~~~"

As best friends, they often joked about this topic.

"I—I just..." Lu Xuexue flushed, her voice rising slightly like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "I just... wanted to try a different style!"

Of course, the real reason was that she thought Gu Luo—being the doting older brother he was—would definitely like this style. She wanted to surprise him during their weekend plans.

Naturally, the salesgirl wouldn’t argue with a customer. She smiled warmly. "You’re both so beautiful—anything would look great on you. Why not try them on? The fitting rooms are over there."

"Oho~"

Gu Ximan took the bras handed to her and nudged Lu Xuexue toward the fitting rooms, practically buzzing with excitement.

Though there were a few mischievous gestures along the way—ones Lu Xuexue, walking ahead, didn’t notice.

"Miss, would you like help adjusting the straps?"

The salesgirl’s voice came from outside.

"No need, thanks!" Gu Ximan’s reply through the door was brimming with enthusiasm.

She couldn’t wait to see how Gu Luo would react.

Hmph!

Meanwhile, Lu Xuexue wasn’t having as much luck.

Inside her stall, she fumbled with the back clasp, adjusting it repeatedly—only to find it either too tight and suffocating or too loose to offer any support.

Worse, the thick padding looked absurdly out of place on her chest, like two small buns forcibly stuffed in.

"Miss, do you need assistance?" The salesgirl’s gentle inquiry came at just the right time, as if she’d anticipated this.

"N-No, I’m fine..." Lu Xuexue hurriedly refused, but as she turned, she accidentally bumped the hook—the bra snapped open with a sharp pop. She scrambled to catch it, nearly toppling over in the process.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Ximan’s concerned voice came from the next stall. "You okay, Xuexue?"

"Y-Yeah... fine..."

Lu Xuexue’s face burned crimson as she glared at her reflection.

In the mirror, her slender frame clashed starkly with the exaggerated push-up bra—pitiful and... a little ridiculous.

So... it really was hopeless?

Her shoulders slumped in defeat.

Too bad Gu Luo wouldn’t get to see this one.

Just then, a soft lilac lace bra slid under the door.

"Try this," Gu Ximan’s voice was unusually gentle. "Your size."

Lu Xuexue froze. "M-Manny, when did you grab this...?"

"Heh, secret~" Gu Ximan chuckled. "Stop forcing it—what suits you is best. Oh, and I bet Gu Luo would love this style~~~"

"You—!"

Lu Xuexue’s cheeks flamed as she took the bra, the silk fabric impossibly soft against her fingers.

Once on, it fit perfectly—no gaping cups, no uncomfortable tightness.

It felt amazing.

But the design... why did it seem a little... risqué?

Hesitantly, she cracked open the stall door, meeting Gu Ximan’s gaze.

The other girl had already changed into her black lace set, her flawless curves on full display under the lights.

Even as a girl, Lu Xuexue couldn’t look away.

She couldn’t even imagine how much Gu Luo would adore it.

"Xuexue, you’re adorable!" Gu Ximan’s eyes sparkled.

The salesgirl chimed in at the perfect moment. "Wow, this one really suits you, miss—elegant but not too mature, and..."

She lowered her voice. "The cut actually enhances your shape."

Lu Xuexue’s face reddened again, but this time, a small smile tugged at her lips.

Clearly, she was thrilled—and satisfied.

"Then... I’ll take this one."

After picking out a few more pieces, all three left the store in high spirits.

As they stepped outside, Lu Xuexue suddenly whispered, "Manny... how can I... be more like you...?"

Gu Ximan paused, linking arms with her. "Heh, drink more milk."

Then, leaning in, she murmured into her ear:

"Or... let your dear Gu Luo help you out~~~"

!

Lu Xuexue’s mind instantly flooded with indecent images, the fading blush on her cheeks reigniting tenfold.

Meanwhile, not far away...

"Bro, look, LOOK! Those two are next-level hot!!"

"I’m serious—I’ve gotta shoot my shot!!!"
