Red pointed at himself with his thumb, looking rather smug.
This scene was caught by a mother and daughter passing by.
“Mom, mom, why is that big brother here?”
“Shh~”
The Mother, carrying shopping bags, quickly covered the Little Girl’s mouth:
“Don’t pay attention, just a pair of idiot lovers.”
With that, the two hurried away.
Red and Letia naturally heard their whispered conversation.
Red himself didn’t mind; he didn’t feel embarrassed at all, in fact, he even protested loudly.
Who are you calling lovers with this monkey?
As for Letia… she felt even less.
To say her skin is thicker than a city wall would be an understatement.
Never mind being called Red’s girlfriend—if someone said they were husband and wife, her face wouldn’t change a bit.
As for Red volunteering to stay here, she was more surprised than shy.
Seriously, back at Dawnblade, she even let Red wash her Fitted Underwear.
This guy might’ve even sniffed them or rinsed them a few times—what’s there to be embarrassed about?
“Hey, careful or I’ll sue you for slander.”
Red’s mouth twitched as he looked at Letia, “I may be interested, but not in your clothes.”
“Oops… I let it slip,” Letia feigned innocence, tapping her own head in mock regret, looking a bit infuriating.
“Let’s go inside and look.”
Facing Red’s accusing glare, Letia simply walked deeper into the shop on her own.
The Fitted Underwear hanging outside were relatively pure in style, while those inside were more mature.
Most had lace trim, some even half-transparent, looking as if there was little difference between wearing and not wearing them…
The styles could be called quite bold.
With Letia by his side, Red felt he could let his gaze wander a little more.
After lingering for a while, his nerves even eased a bit.
“How should I put this…”
Red stared at the hollow-out panties, murmuring his thoughts quietly:
“So many different colors and shapes, such a huge variety…”
“I guess so.”
Letia sighed absentmindedly.
She had just wanted to tease him, how did it end up like this?
She could feel the investigative and amused gazes from all around her, silent commentary almost becoming tangible.
“Wow, she looks so innocent but has spicy taste?”
“Brought her boyfriend here just to pick out those styles? She knows how to have fun!”
“Tsk tsk, can’t judge a book by its cover…”
They were all that kind of look.
Sigh…
Letia let out a heavy sigh, her voice full of resignation, “Great, now I seem like some pervert with weird tastes…”
As Red became more and more absorbed in looking, he was already lost in his own world when he suddenly heard Miaotia’s muttered complaint.
“Did you say something just now?”
“Nothing, nothing,” Letia laughed it off, “Just thinking about what to buy.”
To be honest, it was a bit better outside, but after coming in here, Red felt Letia was also getting distracted, and their conversation frequently didn’t connect.
He himself still felt a bit tense.
No matter where he looked, all he saw was underwear… and more underwear.
But then again, this was a shop for Fitted Underwear, so it made sense.
It’s just that all the Bras and Panties here were sold in matching sets, so if you just wanted to buy Panties…
Red’s gaze fell upon the not-far-off Children’s Section.
Letia had already walked over and seemed to be picking something out.
Why did he suddenly feel so inexplicably sad?
After looking a few times, Letia finally gave up on the Children’s Wear with a bit of frustration, returning to the adult section like a hero facing certain doom.
She picked up the smallest lace-edged style, holding it against herself, frowning, as if attempting a task that couldn’t be accomplished.
Red watched her for a long time, and out of a sense of brotherly duty, began seriously inspecting the products on the shelves.
He quickly noticed that beside every set of underwear was a small Tag with numbers and letters like “75B,” “70A,” “80C,” and so on.
These must be some kind of sizes?
Red looked over at Letia again.
She was comparing two smallest-size Bras, which to him looked almost identical.
Red took a deep breath, and with his usual careful attitude, walked up and asked directly.
“Uh… Letia.”
“Ah? Cough, what is it?”
Letia hurriedly stuffed the little clothes in her hand back on the shelf, a bit embarrassed.
Doesn’t fit…
None of them fit, no matter how she compares.
“You’re picking a size, right?”
Red pointed to the Tags, thoughtfully rubbing his chin, “Can I ask you something? How do you read these sizes exactly?”
He paused, and to resolve the issue more efficiently, decided to be straightforward, looking directly at Letia’s chest and sincerely asking,
“Or can I just ask you more directly?”
“Go ahead.”
“Have you ever worn these? If you have, what size do you usually wear? I can help you pick?”
Letia’s face froze immediately, and after being stunned for a long while, she managed to squeeze out a single sound.
“Huh?”
But Red didn’t notice Letia’s expression and kept talking.
“I just saw you struggling to pick, so I wanted to help. Otherwise, we could be stuck here all day—I want to get back early.”
That was honestly what Red was thinking, but as soon as those words left his mouth, everyone else in the underwear store looked at him differently.
They looked at him with newfound respect.
But Red himself didn’t notice and continued,
“So, what size do you wear?”
…Letia’s face was as red as a cooked shrimp.
She clenched her fists, gritting her teeth, and said each word clearly:
“Didn’t I tell you before… I don’t wear…”
She purposely lowered her voice, so nobody else heard, but Red heard it loud and clear.
After a moment, he finally realized what Letia meant earlier when she said, “Bras don’t matter, but Panties are a must…”
So the upper half is vacuum-sealed!?
Red didn’t understand, but he was deeply shocked.
While they were talking, the Shop Assistant naturally noticed the commotion.
The moment she saw Red, it was like seeing a golden goose; she immediately came over.
It was simple, really.
Most people who came to buy women’s clothes were couples, and compared to women alone, these pairs spent much more freely and didn’t care about the price—there was no way she’d let this fat sheep go.
And though she hadn’t heard what Letia said earlier, she definitely heard those last two words.
“Excuse me, not wearing one is absolutely not okay,” the Shop Assistant righteously declared, “Though many people think big is good, you can’t deny that small has its own charm. It’s not just about the size, shape is important too. Like your… girlfriend here?”
“Why the question mark?”
Red replied, speechless.
“Let me clarify: she’s not my girlfriend, and she’s already an adult, just a bit short.”
“An adult?”
The Shop Assistant looked surprised, but quickly adjusted.
“But even for adults, a second development is totally normal, and if you don’t wear a bra, even a small chest can become deformed. Most importantly… a bra will make it look a bit bigger.”
The Shop Assistant was indeed professional.
After hesitating for a while, Letia nodded at her.
“Then measure me, please.”
“You’ve never been measured before?”
“No… Since I was fourteen, there’s been almost no growth… Heh.”
Listening to the two, Red felt like he was hearing a rather sad story.
Soon enough, the Shop Assistant led Letia into the Changing Room for measurements.
It was only after the two left that Red realized something.
He was standing all alone, surrounded by nothing but women’s underwear.
All the gazes around him felt like needles.
Red didn’t know how long he waited, standing his ground in the encirclement of women’s underwear and female eyes.
The minutes dragged on like years, until finally, Miaotia and the Shop Assistant came out from the Changing Room.
At that moment, the young girl walked over to the shelves, face expressionless, and picked out several light-colored sets of underwear.
Red noticed that all the underwear in her hand were the same size.
“70A.”
The sad story just sounded even sadder.
Letia, who just wanted to tease Red, was now exhausted.
As for Red himself, he’d been a bit nervous at first, but with Letia there, he didn’t feel so tense anymore and even saw quite a few interesting things.
But for Letia, there was at least one bit of good news.
After putting on the underwear, she patted her chest, looking very pleased, and said to Red,
“Look, look, I have boobs now~”
