Chapter 28 When can I touch Xing Xiaochu?
As the last two pieces of cloth were sewn together, a small cream-colored cloth fish with golden rice-grain beads as eyes was born in Qi Ying's hands.
Guazi thought the small yellowish fish was for him, so he came over with his tail erect and meowing. However, Xing Xiaochu took the fish into his arms, tapped his little nose, and said, "This one is mine."
The kitten looked up at her in confusion: "Meow——"
The cream-colored fish was sewn on the side of the dress. Qi Ying hid the thread and looked at the fish, which was not crooked. Then she turned to Xing Xiaochu and said, "Do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, this looks good." Xing Xiaochu looked at the beautiful dress on the mannequin. There was a small fish of the same color pinned on the waist. Although it looked a bit strange, Xing Xiaochu was very satisfied.
This is the first piece of clothing Qi Ying made for her.
Altered school uniforms and pajamas do not count.
Seeing that she was satisfied, Qi Ying smiled, took off his clothes from the mannequin and said to her, "Try putting them on."
Xing Xiaochu nodded repeatedly.
While Xing Xiaochu went back to change clothes, Qi Ying tidied up the living room, moved the mannequin back to the utility room, and swept up all the lint and scraps of cloth on the floor. Xiao Guazi squatted at Xing Xiaochu's door, sticking his butt out to look inside, and scratched the crack in the door, looking anxious.
Soon, Xing Xiaochu came out wearing the cream-colored dress.
"elder sister."
Xing Xiaochu pinched the hem of her skirt and called out to her, "Look, is it pretty?"
When Qi Ying looked up, she felt a bright light in front of her eyes.
Xing Xiaochu is already bright and beautiful. Although her face still has some childishness, she is so beautiful that it cannot be ignored. She has gained some weight at Qi Ying's house these days, and her complexion looks a lot rosier. At this moment, she is wearing a cream-yellow dress which brightens her skin tone, and she seems to be shining like a little sun.
Qi Ying could hardly take her eyes off it, and said sincerely, "It's really beautiful."
Xing Xiaochu was very happy that Qi Ying praised her for being pretty. She was a little shy, but mostly happy.
"Meow--"
Guazi saw the small cloth fish that was not in harmony with Xing Xiaochu's waist and thought it was its thing. He held Xing Xiaochu's calf and tried to climb up, causing her to gasp in pain.
“Meow—meow—”
Guazi jumped for the little cloth fish, and Xing Xiaochu dodged left and right and ran behind Qi Ying. The little guy fluttered over with his short legs, and the man and the cat started to circle around Qi Ying.
Xing Xiaochu said to it angrily: "This is mine!"
The oval-shaped little legs swung rapidly, occasionally jumping into the air to grab Xing Xiaochu's skirt, and Qi Ying quickly caught it in her arms.
"Okay, you two, stop playing and don't damage the new clothes you just made." Qi Ying grabbed the struggling melon seeds with both hands, looked at it showing its sharp claws and narrowed his eyes slightly. Xing Xiaochu also came over, blinked, looked at Qi Ying, and then looked at it.
The two of them immediately thought of the same thing.
“Crack, crack—”
“Meow——”
Qi Ying held Guazi on her lap and handed his little paw to Xing Xiaochu: "Watch the blood line. Kittens' paws are shallow, so don't cut them and make them bleed."
Xing Xiaochu took the nail clippers very seriously and trimmed Guazi's little paws.
Guazi meowed and cried, but both owners ignored it. After trimming its hands, they went on to trim its feet. They almost drove the little guy crazy, but in the end, they successfully trimmed its nails.
After having its nails trimmed, the kitten jumped off the sofa with its tail erect and cursing. Because it was too small, it fell on its chin on the carpet. Its tail was not as happy as before when it was erected. It walked dejectedly to the cat bed and fell asleep with its back to the two of them.
Qi Ying said with a 'ouch': "Angry."
Xing Xiaochu was cleaning the kitten's nails with a smile on her face, but she sneezed loudly the next second.
Qi Ying's expression changed immediately, and he reached out to touch Xing Xiaochu's forehead, while Xing Xiaochu half-closed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. Qi Ying's palms were very warm, and Xing Xiaochu felt so comfortable that his whole body went soft.
"It's still burning." Qi Ying said distressedly, "Go back to bed quickly."
Xing Xiaochu blinked and said, "But sister, I'm hungry."
Qi Ying said with a straight face: "Go back to bed first, I'll go cook dumplings for you."
There was no other choice, Xing Xiaochu had to change into pajamas and go back to bed.
Perhaps it was because she slept too much today, Xing Xiaochu didn't want to rest at all. She looked at the dress that she had taken off and folded neatly, and couldn't help but take it and touch it again and again.
"Boom boom boom—"
Qi Ying knocked on the door: "I'm coming in~"
Xing Xiaochu quickly responded and put the skirt aside.
Qi Ying came in carrying the dumplings. Ever since she realized that in this world two women could not be intimate with each other without any scruples, she developed the habit of rarely entering Xing Xiaochu's room, and even if she did, she would knock on the door first.
She placed the hot dumplings beside the bed, unfolded the bedside table and placed it in front of Xing Xiaochu, saying to her, "The dumplings are very hot right out of the pot, so be careful when you eat them."
Xing Xiaochu nodded, holding the bowl and chopsticks.
Qi Ying asked her, "Do you want vinegar or chili sauce?"
Xing Xiaochu thought about it and said, "It's all right."
"Then I'll get some of them all for you." Qi Ying got up and went to the kitchen again, made two plates of side dishes, and brought a bowl of dumpling soup for Xing Xiaochu.
Dumplings are a flavor that Xing Xiaochu likes very much. They taste great when they are hot out of the pot. They make her feel less uncomfortable, as if all her illnesses are healed after eating the food made by Qi Ying.
While she was eating, Qi Ying helped tidy up the bedroom. Seeing that the closet was empty, she said to the child, "It's autumn when school starts, and it's time to buy some autumn clothes. Do you have any clothes you want? I can go to the mall and buy them for you in advance."
Xing Xiaochu blew on the dumplings, looked up and said to Qi Ying: "You have to wear school uniforms to go to school. You don't need so many clothes, sister. The clothes I have now are enough."
Qi Ying still felt that the child didn't have enough clothes.
"I'll add some for you myself. I know your size anyway." Qi Ying closed the cabinet door and turned around to see Xing Xiaochu eating dumplings and soup slowly and chewing in small bites. He found it interesting.
Eating like a kitten.
Qi Ying watched with great interest Xing Xiaochu blowing on the dumpling soup and slurping it. Xing Xiaochu felt a little awkward being stared at while eating, so he stopped after two bites, holding his chopsticks tightly and looking at Qi Ying in confusion.
Xing Xiaochu asked her in confusion: "Sister, is there something wrong?"
Qi Ying shook her head and whispered, "Eat slowly. Call me when you're done. I'll go check on our angry kitten."
Although Xing Xiaochu was very cute when she was eating, she was a little adult after all, and it was a bit too much to watch her eat like a small animal. Fortunately, another small animal at home did not have this worry. The chubby Xiao Guazi, who was originally very angry, was quickly bribed by a cat stick and allowed Qi Ying to stroke it.
When can I have some fun with Xing Xiaochu?
Qi Ying thought with interest.
After cleaning up the children's dishes, it was already late. Qi Ying tucked in Xing Xiaochu's quilt before turning off the light for her and letting her go to bed early.
After exiting the game, Qi Ying went back to his room to sleep, thinking of checking on Xing Xiaochu's condition tomorrow morning. If he still had a fever, he would have to go to the hospital for an IV drip.
Fortunately, the next morning, Qi Ying was brushing her teeth when she heard a notification from her cell phone. When she opened it, she saw good news from the system.
[Dear designer, your Xing Xiaochu's fever has subsided. She slept very well last night. Please don't worry.]
Qi Ying's eyes lit up, and while brushing his teeth, he opened the view of Xing Xiaochu's room and saw Xing Xiaochu sleeping soundly on her side. When Qi Ying saw that she was holding the dress he had made for her yesterday in her arms, his hand could not move while brushing his teeth.
Does Xing Xiaochu...like this skirt that much?
Qi Ying looked at the sleeping child, then at the dress in her arms, and a strange feeling gradually surged in her heart, as if she was very satisfied and full of love.
She felt something in her heart was tickled by this scene.
Qi Ying bit the toothbrush and stared at Xing Xiaochu on the phone with serious eyes. She felt soft and warm in her heart.
After Qi Ying changed her clothes and entered the game, she found Xing Xiaochu was still sleeping, so she quietly walked into her room, put the cup of water and medicine on the bedside, then reached out and touched her forehead, feeling Xing Xiaochu's body temperature.
“Hmm…”
Xing Xiaochu seemed to be waking up. She hugged the dress tightly in her arms and opened her eyes in a daze.
Qi Ying wanted to leave quietly, but when she saw Xing Xiaochu open his eyes, she had no choice but to say, "Awake? Then remember to take your medicine when you get up. I have to go out to work."
Xing Xiaochu was still a little confused. After a while, she called Qi Ying "sister" and wanted to get up, but she saw the cream-yellow dress in her arms. Her cheeks suddenly turned red and she shrank back into the quilt.
Qi Ying pretended not to notice Xing Xiaochu's little move, and still reminded her considerately: "Order takeout for yourself at noon, don't eat anything too greasy or fishy, eat something lighter, okay?"
Xing Xiaochu huddled in the bed, clutching the quilt, and nodded with a flushed face.
Qi Ying couldn't help laughing, rubbed Xing Xiaochu's head, and said, "Then I'll go out."
Xing Xiaochu grabbed the quilt and said goodbye to her: "Goodbye, sister."
After exiting the game in the escape passage, Qi Ying was ready to open for business.
As the end of summer approaches, many stores have already started to stock autumn clothes, and Qi Ying's store has to change seasons. Today, she took off all the clothes on the models in the window and replaced them with caramel-colored autumn clothes.
After discussing this with Xia Ruoxin a few days ago, they still felt that caramel-colored outfits mainly consisting of coats and sweaters would be more suitable this year, so they made a few samples in advance and hung them up to see the results first.
After putting on two sets of autumn clothes on the models, Qi Ying was rolling up the cuffs of a cashmere coat worn by a model when he caught a glimpse of several people walking into the store from the corner of his eye.
When Qi Ying looked up, he saw Shi Yu being escorted in, and his expression changed slightly.
She came out of the window, found Xia Ruoxin's WeChat, and sent her a voice message asking for help: "Shi Yu came to the store and brought a lot of people with him..." Before she finished her words, someone patted Qi Ying from behind, and she was so scared that she sent the voice message away immediately.
Shi Yu stood behind Qi Ying and looked at her with a smile: "Hi, Ying."
