Book 4: Chapter 70: The Two in the Swimsuit Store’s Changing Room

“Of course, we have to. Didn’t you see Nightingale pick a swimsuit? I will be going home after some time. By then, I will have no way to buy clothes for you. As a friend, I have to give my friends some gifts as memories.”

“Is that so? But would someone really give a swimsuit as a present to the opposite gender?”

“Relax. It’s not like it’s some sexualized swimsuit. It’s just a normal swimsuit. You can accept it without any reservations.”

“Alright, then.” Skadi did not refuse. After all, she grew up by the sea. Would a swimsuit embarrass her?

“Ah Heng, come over.” Suddenly, Nightingale shouted from the changing room.

“Coming! Coming! Liz, what’s wrong?”

“Come in for a while.”

“But this is the changing room.”

“Why all that talk? Quickly, come in.”

“Alright.” Was Chen Heng tempted? It would be a lie to say no. The Absolute Precognition? The Absolute Precognition was precisely why he got tempted.

Just as Chen Heng was about to go in, a clerk walked over and stopped him.

“Sir, please wait for a while.”

“Ah! What’s wrong?”

“May I ask if the lady in there is in a romantic relationship with you?” Alright, Chen Heng already knew the clerk would come over. However, he had no way to stop her from speaking first. Now, it was not just the clerk waiting to hear his answer but also Nightingale.

“I am. What’s wrong?” Chen Heng was indeed a scoundrel. He could lie without batting an eyelid. However, he was someone with many two-dimensional waifus, so he could handle something simple like this.

“The miss inside, may I ask if this man is your boyfriend?” the clerk asked Nightingale, who was in the changing room, for confirmation.

“Yes. Let him in.” Although Nightingale was doing her best to act normal, Chen Heng heard a slight tremor in her voice.

Humph! Weak! How could such a minor matter scare you like that?

“Alright, sir. You can go in now. However, let me say this first. Don’t mess around in there.”

“…Do I seem like such a person?”

“As a clerk of this shop, a swimsuit store at that, I have seen plenty of couples entering together. I’m sure you know the results. However, situations like yours—where there’s one more picking a swimsuit outside, and both of them are beautiful—are indeed rare.”

It looked like this was a clerk with many stories.

With that advice, the clerk left, not saying anything more. Whether Chen Heng and Liz listened was up to them.

Chen Heng opened the changing room’s door only after the clerk left. When he entered, he saw Nightingale wearing a swimsuit and covering her chest. Her clothes were neatly folded and placed at the side. He could see what clothes and undergarments she wore today. For example, that pure white one should be…that.

Nightingale already wore the lower half of the swimsuit, but the upper half seemed slightly problematic, as this was a lace-styled one.

“Idiot, what are you looking at? Quickly, tie it up for me.” Although Nightingale had a teasing expression, she was still a young lady who just happened to mature early. She felt shy when Chen Heng stared at her.

“Alright, alright. I got it.” Chen Heng did not feel nervous. After all, he was not the one being looked at, and he would lose nothing, so there was nothing to be nervous about.

Nightingale wore a one-piece swimsuit. The swimsuit was mostly white, which suited her very well. Only the bottom part and the laces were purple.

Although Chen Heng knew Nightingale was well-developed, he had not expected her to be this bodacious. This indeed would not be easy.

When Chen Heng tied the laces for Nightingale, he would have difficulty avoiding touching her back. He could feel her tremble every time he touched her. This gave him the impression of a skittish rabbit.

Why the need for this? She is clearly a conservative person, but she insisted on taking the initiative. How silly!

Actually, tying the laces was nothing hard. Chen Heng successfully tied two butterfly knots after some time.

Now, Chen Heng strongly suspected Nightingale called him in to make a move on him. Perhaps helping her wear her swimsuit was just one of the steps, but she was too innocent.

Who was Chen Heng? He was a philander with thousands of two-dimensional waifus. How could he fall for such a simple temptation?

Alright, Chen Heng was tempted. In the end, he was still a virgin. Making such a bold move on a pure virgin was simply too much.

“Alright. Liz, how do you feel? Is it too tight?” After Chen Heng helped Liz tie the laces, he took the opportunity to caress her hair. Be it in the heart maze or real life, her hair was extremely smooth and glossy and nice to touch. It was comparable to Skadi’s hair.

Somehow, thinking of the woman outside the changing room while being with one inside feels quite scummy. Is it just me?

“Well, it feels quite good. It’s not too tight.” Nightingale shivered again because Chen Heng touched her hair. She only remembered to reply after two seconds.

“How is it? Is it nice?” Nightingale endured her embarrassment. After taking two steps back, she spun around, showing the swimsuit to Chen Heng.

“It is quite nice, extremely suitable for my pure and cute white demon.” Chen Heng initially wanted to say angel, but after some thought, he wondered if calling a demon an angel would be bad.

That’s why people who get embarrassed easily, like Liz, should not take the initiative to make such bold moves. Look! Look! I only praised her a little, and she blushed.

Chen Heng sighed inwardly as Nightingale turned pink from his words.

“Hey, Ah Heng, about calling you my boyfriend earlier…”

“Don’t worry. I won’t take it seriously. I understand. Furthermore, I know myself well. How could someone as cute as you be willing to be my girlfriend?”

“Actually…”

“There’s no need to console me. I’m very resilient.”

“…” You can divine the future; can’t you guess what I want to say? Now, Nightingale suspected Chen Heng was playing dumb. However, she did not have any evidence.

Furthermore, Nightingale did not understand how Chen Heng’s divination ability worked, so she could only leave it at this.

Moreover, all Chen Heng thought right now was I am Poseidon. Of course, I have to drift in the sea. A small river cannot trap me.

[TL Note: Poseidon, the Greek god presiding over the sea, is Chinese slang for philanderer. This is in reference to how many sea creatures are related to Poseidon.]

Hah! Chen Heng was just a virgin who had yet to experience love. Who gave him the courage to think of himself as a Poseidon? How shameless!
