He...defused the bomb?

To be honest, she had gotten used to wearing it for so long that taking it off felt a little strange... But undeniably, as the bomb was removed, something else seemed to be released with a click as well.

"I can't exactly have you wearing this thing to a banquet with me, can I?"

Xu Shi laughed.

"...You said you wouldn't embarrass me, so don't blame me if something goes wrong."

Gu Yi pursed her lips, but a smile unconsciously crept onto her face.

This really does seem to be just like in the story; the ugly duckling has turned into a beautiful swan...

"I told you girls should know how to dress up. This puppy-like look isn't any better than before, is it?"

Upon seeing this, Xu Shi couldn't help but sigh.

"Huh? Isn't that word used to describe men?"

Gu Yi tilted her head curiously. Was it really appropriate to use her own body?

"I think it suits you quite well."

Xu Shi explained with a smile, "The toy is small, and the person is a dog..."

"...What are you saying!"

Miss Black Rabbit realized what was happening and instinctively pounced on him to bite him.

"And you still say you're not a dog?"

Xu Shi blocked her with one hand while teasing her, "You can't expect me to lie and say you're big, can you? That doesn't make sense."

"What does the word 'conscience' have to do with you at all?!"

Gu Yi was furious, waving her little fists wildly, "You're the dog! I'll fight you to the death!"

Xu Shi burst into laughter.

I'm going to grab some food first. The remaining two chapters will be posted this afternoon. I promised five updates, and I definitely will.
