“Little Fox, are you really that nervous?”
Serveyia’s voice was clearly teasing, which made Liuli a bit flustered and angry.
“Who, who said I’m shy? I’m not shy at all!”
“If you’re not shy, then why won’t Little Fox look at me directly?”
Serveyia was clearly making fun of her, but what was even more infuriating was that Liuli had no way to refute it.
No matter how you looked at it, her actions just now had clearly told the other party that she was very nervous.
“Hmph, because I have serious business to attend to!”
Of course, this was also an excuse. Admitting she was nervous right now would be too embarrassing.
So, if possible, Liuli naturally wanted to stay stubborn.
“But Little Fox, the ‘serious business’ you mentioned doesn’t seem very practiced, does it?”
“You, you mind your own business! Anyway, I’ve already recorded the data. How can you say I didn’t do my job?”
“Alright, alright. So Little Fox, what are you going to do next?”
“Do what? Shouldn’t that be what you teach me, Serveyia?”
Liuli was a bit confused. Weren’t they supposed to be teaching her how to take measurements? Why, halfway through, was she being left to figure things out on her own now?
“Before I teach you, Little Fox, don’t you have anything you want to do?”
Serveyia deliberately showed off her figure in front of her again. How could Liuli not know what she wanted? But even if she knew, so what? Right now, she had something she really wanted to accomplish. At a time like this, Serveyia’s temptations were completely useless!
“I think we should finish taking the measurements quickly. Otherwise, Serveyia, you might catch a cold.”
“Little Fox, has anyone ever told you that you’re a bit… unromantic?”
Unromantic? Of course, Liuli knew her own excuse seemed, indeed, a bit unromantic. But at a time like this, being unromantic was an unavoidable choice. After all, she had something she wanted to achieve. She couldn’t let herself be held back by so-called romantic feelings.
Of course, the key point wasn’t really the romantic feelings. It was that Liuli knew Serveyia well. If she really fell for her tricks, she was afraid the entire day would be wasted.
“Alright, alright. What’s the next step?”
“Next are some simpler parts, like shoulder width, back length, arm length, wrist circumference, and neck circumference.”
Hmm… Hearing so many terms come out of Serveyia’s mouth, Liuli had probably heard most of them before, but she wasn’t really clear on what they specifically meant.
Yet Serveyia could talk about them fluently.
This made Liuli wonder, could it be that the brain structure of these noble ladies is different from ours?
Do they have a special area in their brains dedicated to storing this so-called noble knowledge?
“Well, it’s actually not that complicated. I’ll explain it to you, Little Fox, and you’ll understand.”
“O-okay…”
To be honest, Liuli was skeptical about whether she could really understand. After all, her brain structure might not allow her to hold that much knowledge.
But even with her doubts, Liuli had to admit that one thing Serveyia said wasn’t wrong: it really wasn’t that complicated.
At least, after Serveyia explained it to her, she did understand what it all meant.
The problem was, how long could she remember it?
“Serveyia, these all seem to be data for the upper body, right?”
“Huh? So Little Fox is planning to prepare lower garments for me too?”
“N-no, why wouldn’t I prepare them?”
“Because I get the feeling you want me to wear some… not-suitable-for-children clothes. Generally, that kind of clothing doesn’t include lower garments, right?”
“A skirt… counts as a lower garment, right?”
“Of course it does. Little Fox is actually preparing lower garments for me? I’m truly touched.”
Serveyia’s teasing was as usual. To be honest, it made Liuli uncertain about what she really meant.
Could this also be part of her revenge for not agreeing to an equivalent exchange?
“Serveyia, what kind of person do you think I am in your mind?”
“A little perverted fox with lewd thoughts but no guts?”
“Me? How am I a little perverted fox?”
“Huh? So you’re not denying the ‘no guts’ part?”
“That, that’s different…”
After all, she really might not have much courage. That part was probably not wrong.
“Forget it. Since we’re doing lower garments too, we need to measure leg length and leg circumference. Come on.”
As she spoke, Serveyia even stood on her tiptoes, seemingly signaling for Liuli to proceed.
Alright, there really wasn’t anything to hesitate about. It was just taking measurements—a perfectly proper, completely normal activity. Yes, that’s exactly what it was.
That’s what she said, but putting it into practice was another matter entirely. Leg length was simple. The problem was leg circumference.
Leg circumference was divided into thigh circumference and calf circumference. The calf circumference wasn’t a problem. The issue was the thigh circumference. The place to measure thigh circumference was at the root of the thigh.
How to put it… The root of the thigh was a rather private area. If it were Liuli herself, she probably wouldn’t want others touching there either. But Serveyia was still generously showing it to her. Did she really have no sense of shame at all?
Thinking of this, a little devil rose in Liuli’s heart. This was a rare opportunity. If she didn’t seize it to see if Serveyia would really get shy… If it were just taking body measurements, it might not be that embarrassing. But what if she did something else? Liuli refused to believe Serveyia still wouldn’t get shy.
The skin at the root of the thigh was hidden under clothing most of the time, with very few chances for others to see it. But now, Serveyia’s ‘absolute territory’ was displayed so defenselessly before her. Moreover, Serveyia’s body structure was very well-proportioned, but only here, at the root of her thighs, was there quite a bit of soft flesh. How could Liuli resist doing something naughty?
But whether to give it a pinch or a gentle tickle was a difficult choice for Liuli. However, considering the possible retaliation from Serveyia after she did these things, after weighing the pros and cons, Liuli decided to just go with a tickle. If Serveyia really got angry, this wouldn’t be too excessive. Maybe Serveyia wouldn’t really retaliate.
Thinking it, she did it. Liuli reached out and gently tickled the soft flesh on the inner side of Serveyia’s thigh root. However, the moment she made contact, Serveyia immediately reacted, clamping her legs together and trapping Liuli’s hand tightly.
“Mmm! Little Fox, what are you doing?”
“Th-that… hehe…” Liuli now had the feeling of being caught red-handed doing something bad. She could only laugh awkwardly, trying to cover up what she had done. “I’m just helping you take measurements.”
“Little Fox, does taking body measurements require touching there?”
“H-how could it not? Wasn’t it you, Serveyia, who told me where to measure the thigh circumference?”
“Oh? Then later, when I help you take your measurements, I’ll do the same, okay?”
“I, I’m a beginner! Isn’t it normal to be inexperienced?”
“Little Fox, I can understand what you want to do. But I feel the need to remind you, you can do bad things, but if you apologize now, I might not get as angry.”
The expression on Serveyia’s face was still smiling, but anyone could tell that Serveyia’s mood wasn’t as happy as the expression she showed.
“So… if I apologize now, is it still in time?”
To tell the truth, Liuli was a little scared. After all, given Serveyia’s duty, doing whatever she wanted to Liuli would be all too simple. And whether it was physical sensitivity or combat power, Liuli was no match for Serveyia. If she really intended to retaliate, Liuli would be like a lamb waiting for slaughter.
“What do you think, Little Fox? If you’re apologizing, doesn’t it require some gesture of sincerity?”
Alright, Liuli felt Serveyia had seized the opportunity to retaliate against her fiercely. Now Liuli was feeling some regret. Since she was going to be retaliated against anyway, she should have known better than to just take a small taste. She should have played with it properly. That way, when she got retaliated against, she might not feel like she had suffered a huge loss.
“Serveyia, I, I’m telling you, I’m not afraid of you. Whatever request you make, I won’t be afraid.”
As if to prove her words, Liuli’s hand even took the opportunity to give another pinch.
“Little Fox, it seems you need some further discipline.”
Serveyia’s face still wore a ‘kind’ smile, but to be honest, there was nothing gentle about that smile. It actually made Liuli feel a bit scared.
“S-so what? I have to apologize anyway. If I don’t really do something, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?”
“Oh? Since that’s the case, then I’m sorry, Little Fox.”
“Huh? No, no, no, wait! Serveyia, what are you doing? Aren’t we supposed to be taking measurements?”
“The body measurements are basically done. Next, it’s time for me to collect some interest.”
After saying this, Serveyia very cleanly and efficiently moved in front of Liuli, reached out, picked her up directly, and made as if to head towards the bed.
“Serveyia! Put me down!”
Oh no, this was it. She was done for. Liuli waved her arms and twisted her body, trying to get Serveyia to put her down. Serveyia, however, seemed completely unmoved.
“Don’t squirm, Little Fox. It won’t feel good if you fall.”
“If, if you put me down, I won’t fall!”
It wasn’t that Liuli objected to Serveyia’s actions, but… she needed some preparation time! One second they were taking body measurements, and the next second they were heading for the bed? What decent person takes measurements that lead to the bed?
“Hehe, too late. Since Little Fox dared to start a fire, you must be prepared to get burned.”
Looking at this, Serveyia had no intention of letting her off. Not to mention, just now, in order to take her measurements, Serveyia had already taken off her clothes, leaving only her underwear. It was hard to say whether this was all premeditated or not.
