Viloti looked around but didn't see either Adeline or Bernice.
Great! Meeting Felyn here too, Viloti thought.
Not great at all! Felyn thought.
Encountering a former client in front of a current client, and it was the rapidly evolving Viloti at that!
She wouldn't cling to him, would she?
"Viloti, are you here with family?"
If she was out shopping with family, she definitely wouldn't cling to him.
As for why not with friends—unfortunately, Viloti had no friends.
Viloti shook her head.
When Viloti shook her head, Felyn saw the caterpillar doll she was hiding behind her back.
She actually came to buy that doll after all. Could it be...
I knew that doll wasn't ugly—Viloti likes it too.
"Felyn, you have two bottles of water." Viloti stared seriously at the water in Felyn's hands.
Oh no.
Looking at the water bottles in each hand, Felyn had forgotten to hide the water.
"Viloti, this bottle of water is for you. I saw you from far away and thought to buy you water. But after buying it, I couldn't find you."
Felyn had a flash of inspiration and handed the water to Viloti.
Perfect, seamless!
At worst, he'd buy another bottle later.
But he absolutely couldn't let Viloti know he came out with Daiyi.
What Viloti thought didn't really matter, but she might cling to him and then Daiyi would discover it.
Having a current client see him entangled with a girl would definitely ruin his career in this line of work.
Viloti took the water with both hands and said thank you.
Her gaze fell on the peach-flavored water handed to her.
She didn't like peach flavor, and Felyn knew this.
Which meant this water wasn't bought for her—it was for someone else.
Could it be a girl?
Who could it be?
Adeline or Bernice.
It couldn't possibly be someone else, right?
So annoying—why were there so many girls around Felyn, all wanting to steal my Felyn away?
Viloti's hand unconsciously reached into her pink unicorn bag—she was about to start touching seals again.
No, I would blow Felyn up too.
Viloti stepped forward and grabbed Felyn's sleeve.
"Felyn, I want to go shopping."
"Mm mm, go ahead."
"I want to go shopping with you."
"Hm? I have things to do tonight—I can't accompany you."
"Is it Bernice?"
"No!"
"I can let you touch my feet." Viloti looked up with closed eyes, as if making a great sacrifice.
"I won't touch them!"
This was exactly how he had persistently pursued Viloti—how had this young lady learned it all?
Viloti pouted and said "oh."
"If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
Felyn didn't want to waste more time with Viloti—Daiyi was still waiting for him.
Felyn waved in front of Viloti, but she seemed to be daydreaming with no reaction.
Only one thing occupied Viloti's mind.
He must be going to find girls again.
Can't let him leave.
"Hey, Viloti, what are you doing!"
Viloti suddenly took two steps forward and threw herself into Felyn's arms.
Her arms tightly wrapped around Felyn's waist, almost making him unable to breathe.
"Just for a moment..." she said with pouted lips.
Viloti's appearance was already eye-catching, and such bold behavior attracted even more attention from people around.
Felyn tried several times but couldn't push Viloti away.
Who did this girl learn from! He hadn't forcibly hugged her back then!
"I get it, just for a moment—ten minutes, okay?"
He really had no way to deal with this girl.
Viloti had helped him study so much lately—he couldn't coldly tell her to get lost now.
He was still too young to know that all gifts from fate had prices secretly marked.
Hearing Felyn's words, Viloti immediately released him.
The girl's face was almost blending with her hair color.
Felyn's body smelled so good.
Only now did Viloti realize what she had done—her calves were trembling from nervousness and shyness.
She hurriedly turned around, forgetting she was still hiding the caterpillar doll behind her.
"Let me hold the caterpillar for you."
The ahoge on Viloti's head practically stood up.
"Where should we go?"
"Right here."
Viloti randomly pointed to the shop next to where Daiyi was—as long as she was with Felyn, any shop would do.
Felyn blinked. If he wasn't mistaken, this was a lingerie shop, right?
"Viloti, is it okay for you to enter this shop with me?"
Viloti thought Felyn was making excuses to leave again.
"No problem."
She regretted it as soon as they entered.
So this was what Felyn meant.
Why was this shop decorated like this? From outside, she thought it just sold normal clothes.
Felyn looked at Viloti beside him, frozen at the entrance with her face inexplicably turning very red.
"Viloti, should we change shops?"
"No."
She gripped Felyn's sleeve tightly, afraid he'd run away if they left.
Surrounded by bold designs, Viloti bit her lip, not knowing what to do.
She had originally planned to casually try on some clothes to spend more time with Felyn.
Felyn walked around the shop alone and found the lingerie styles here were really too simple.
Weren't there any with locks? The kind that took twenty minutes to put on—then he could go find Daiyi first.
"There are even swimsuits here—they sell quite a variety."
Following Felyn's gaze, Viloti saw them. Great, one-piece swimsuits!
Just showing legs should be no problem.
"I'll try this one."
Viloti entered the fitting room. When Felyn wanted to gentlemanly leave, Viloti called him back.
"Felyn, are you leaving?"
"I'm not leaving."
Viloti was afraid Felyn would leave while she changed clothes.
"Then stay outside."
Felyn stood outside the fitting room, separated from Viloti inside by just a curtain.
Had to admit, it was somewhat enticing.
Felyn tried to look away from the curtain.
But the sound of clothes being removed inside was crystal clear.
Listening to clothes rubbing against a beautiful girl's body always brought endless imagination.
"Felyn, I'm changed."
"Oh. How do you think it looks?"
The person inside was silent for a moment, then spoke: "There's no mirror inside, I can't see. Help me look."
No mirror? This shop was rather strange.
Felyn placed his hand on the curtain.
Stay calm, Felyn—it's just a swimsuit that doesn't expose anything.
The curtain opened.
Viloti wore a light blue one-piece swimsuit, like a sea wave in summer.
The swimsuit's cut was elegant and tasteful—the neckline and back were modest yet perfectly showcased the girl's curves.
A white thin belt adorned her waist, the hem falling lightly at her thighs, swaying gently with her movements like soft waves.
Her pink long hair draped over her exposed shoulders, making her skin appear even fairer.
Her cheeks were slightly flushed, those amber eyes not daring to look directly at Felyn, eyelashes trembling slightly.
She unconsciously tugged at the swimsuit's edge, making a snapping sound.
That's it!
Felyn had always thought a shy girl tugging at her swimsuit making a snapping sound was the most alluring thing ever.
"Mm, come in quickly."
Felyn hadn't noticed he'd been holding the curtain open.
The small space was filled with the girl's scent. Felyn seemed to see seaside water drops sliding down Viloti's fair shoulders, all the way to her ankles.
