No Time

Today, was Friday. My new friends and I went shopping. It was fun. Yun got a haircut along with dying his hair and looks a lot cuter. His glasses were replaced with contacts too.

Hua commented to us, "I don't get how you guys look so slim and feminine without taking estrogen!"

I don't know what that is, but I'll search it up later. But Yun stiffly smiled and looked frustrated.

"I wish I wasn't so weak and girly, but that's just the way I am..." Yun sadly muttered.

"No, use it to your advantage. Lots of people prefer the pretty boy look. Besides, I'm slim, curvy, and all that, but I'm still very strong. I can help you train safely if you want." I believed that looks were important but it was far behind personality and quality...

And while I was pondering in that, I saw Hua readily entering a suspicious store selling clothing that looked like mere strips.

"Ah! They're selling the sexy naked back sweaters! Let's all buy some!" Hua exclaimed loudly and went in dragging us along.

Skimpy and scandalous clothing and strange objects were seen everywhere.

"Hua, this place... why did we come in here?!" Yun whisper-yelled in a flustered state.

"Is this a costume shop?" I asked.

"Yu Yu, this... this is a sex toy shop! We shouldn't be in here!" Yun yelled. Albeit louder this time. Oh, this is that kind of shop.

"So what, as long as they have cute clothing, I'm going to buy them. Hurry, let's get the sweaters! I couldn't find any online so I want to buy some today!" Hua is very enthusiastic.

We each got 3 sweaters each and Hua got 5 different colored ones.

Yun and I got the white, grey, and light blue according to Hua's recommendation. I don't think Yun will ever wear them unless we make him. I for one might try it out since it looks interesting.

Hua got grey, navy, black, white, and beige sweaters. She persuaded us to buy some more so I bought 9 more, 3 for each of my siblings. If they wanted to wear them, they could. And if they didn't want to, I'll just cut them up and make new clothing.

Hua is not a pretty girl, but kind of plain. She has a strong-for-a-girl jawline and ordinary stature. But she's still slim and has a model figure. She's 183 cm. Just one centimeter taller than me. But I'm sure I'll grow taller.

Yun is just 178. A normal-ish height that will probably sprout in the later years.

Next, we went to go get some ice-cream. I got chocolate, Yun got vanilla, and Hua got strawberry. It was a Neapolitan combination.

Yun saw that the cinema was playing an action movie he wanted to see so we went in and bought tickets and popcorn.

It was a zombie movie. With lots of blood and gore. Hm, Yun looked excited rather than scared. Hua looked bored and commented that the voice actors sucked. I just watched to see if I could remember anything that might help when the actual thing would happen.

Well, the movie didn't help at all. Almost everybody died and a zombie cure was only produced at the end. Oh, I should gather some more scientists that are trustworthy.

We wandered around the streets, secretly followed by Yun's bodyguards. Yun and Hua realized, we were followed the whole time. It was kind of awkward but I couldn't do anything about it. Yun's parents were very protective and Hua's uncle was probably worried too.

For dinner, we went to a cheap buffet and gorged ourselves on food and desserts. The chocolate fountain was spouting white chocolate. It was interesting, but I didn't like white chocolate very much.

It was still 6 PM, and Hua wanted to go to a real costume shop. It was a pretty famous one that was just built last month. Xiao Bing had wanted to go to this costume shop too and mentioned it before, so I would go to see if it had good quality clothing.

It was a very interesting experience.

That's all I can say.

Hua... she made us try out so many outfits. Butler, police, doctor, idol, elf, demon. She tried to make us wear girl outfits and we firmly refused. She looked disappointed, so we were going to say that we could try out something else, but then she dragged us to the furry animal costume part of the shop. She told us to pick out something cute and fluffy beyond comparison and that she'd wait for us by going to get more costumes for herself.

Yun looked dejected and I just passed him a puppy set. It would look good with his newly dyed light brown hair and bright eyes that weren't covered by glasses anymore.

And for me... Ha, costumes were too useless compared with my arctic fox form.

To look cooler, I got an Onmyouji clothing that Hua had told us to try out before. Onmyouji are Japanese demon exorcists that exist in animes. Xiao Bing watched a lot of anime and they were in there sometimes. Their clothing looked stylish.

Paired with my silvery long hair, fluffy fox ears, a soft tail, and the costume, I looked like a cool demon. En, I would buy this costume to try out later on. The school had a Halloween festival every year, so I would wear this to the occasion.

"Ah!" I could hear Yun's scream from the next stall. I immediately rushed over to see Yun touch his face with wonder.

"Yun?" I hesitantly asked.

"Yu Yu, I really do look so good!" Yun didn't even turn around and just touched his cheeks and pulled them.

"Yes, we know that."

"I didn't! I haven't looked in a mirror for years! I really had forgotten what I looked like. But huh, I do look quite good."

Yun isn't going to become a narcissistic person like my brother, is he?

"I'm satisfied with my new look. Thank you Yu Yu. I'll thank Hua later." Yun turned around and hugged me.

"Ah? You have white hair!" Finally noticed, huh?

"Yu Yu, you look like a fox spirit! So awesome!"

Yun was wearing his puppy ears but not the costume itself. Realizing it now, the puppy ears weren't loppy and stood straight up. Kind of like a wolf's... I must've passed him the wrong costume set.

The costume set was made of leather and metal, creating what Xiao Bing called, "A Bad Boy" look. If Yun had a motorcycle, he'd look cool with it only if he got rid of his naturally adorable face.

Hua's presence was coming towards us so I got out of Yun's stall and told him to dress up quickly and entered my stall. Hua was dressed up in a flowery dress that reached to the ground and had a long train following. It was light green and matched her healthy skin tone.

"Yun! Momo! Are you guys done yet?"

I got out from my stall and showed her my fluffy self.

"Ah! So beautiful! Fox spirit! I love the white hair!"

Yun got out too and bashfully showed his wolf motorcycle leather dude look.

"Wow! So meng! This look suits you! So cool!"

Yun decided to keep his costume for the annual Halloween school festival as well.

"Hua, are you going to keep that dress for the Halloween festival?" Yun asked.

"I don't know. I want to be dressed up as a black swan. But then I also want to be an elf. Ah, I'll just think about it for now. I have lots of costumes in my closet anyway," Hua casually waved her hands.

It was still bright since it was summertime, but it was already 8 pm. I had to get home now and Yun's bodyguards were fidgeting as if wanting to appear. It was also time for him to leave as well.

"Yun, Hua, I have to go home. Let's see each other on Monday."

Yun also looked at the time and exclaimed, "Ah! I had to be home by 7:30! I'm so sorry! I'll have to leave now! Hua, Yu Yu, see you at school!" And just in time, a sleek looking limo arrived and Yun just jumped in and bodyguards trailed in.

"Ok, let's see each other at school!" Hua brightly smiled and called somebody on her phone. I waited to keep her company since my ride would arrive sooner or later.

When the expensive looking car arrived, the front seat's door opened and the principal climbed out.

"Uncle, we played dress up all day! It was so fun!" Hua exclaimed and tackled her uncle.

"...You didn't trouble either of them, right?" the principal asked in a scolding manner.

"Student Shui Yu, thank you for being my niece's friend."

The principal, young, capable, kind, and handsome is a great person. He's just like a sibling that every kid would want.

"I'm grateful that Li Hua has invited us out. I should get going now, goodbye."

I noticed far away that my ride was coming slower than usual. It was likely that it was Ge driving since Xiao Lai would be at Zhang Xing's house for the first time today after begging the green-haired kid endlessly.

Xiao Bing was on a mission and couldn't be disturbed. Only Ge was in the house and probably training his new skills. Ge always drove safely, checking the roads carefully. The complete opposite of my driving skills.

The cars could all automatically drive, but it was nice that Ge would drive it to get me. Hm, a warm feeling from the heart has spread into my whole body.

"Alright, get home safely." The principal took Hua home and drove away quickly. Hua waved her hand from the window.

The car parked at a parking lot and it was a little far away to walk.

Just as Ge got out from the car and was leisurely walking towards me, a group of people rushed towards him chasing a person dressed all in black suspicious clothing; with a mask, sunglass, and hooded sweatshirt.

Ge was crashed into by this person and held him with a surprised look. I could not hear because my surroundings were so loud, but I did clearly see my brother grabbing the suspicious figure tightly and running towards me.

Ah, what was going to happen?
