On her way home, Shang Yunmiao, unlike her serious study habits during evening self-study, happily took out the class uniform that had been distributed not long ago from her schoolbag and then carefully examined it.
The car was dimly lit, so Chen Bing couldn't make out the style of the clothes clearly. She only vaguely remembered Zhang Xinyu saying that the girl's bottoms seemed to be a black, belted long skirt with a Chinese style. Her upper body was the same as the boy's, a white shirt.
Another person in the car, Yunxuan, saw her daughter's actions through the rearview mirror and asked curiously what it was.
"It's a new dress! The class uniforms we ordered have arrived."
Oh~ Thinking back to when she watched the evening self-study session, she immediately understood what was going on with the boys in the back row wearing matching white shirts and black pants.
"Should we try it on when we get home?"
"Of course, does Mom want to see it?"
"Yes, Mom wants to see it."
I want to see it too.
Chen Bing, who had been silent to the side, added in his mind that he was now thinking about what reason he could use to enter Shang Yunmiao's house naturally, without making himself seem suspicious.
Lady Luck seemed to be on Chen Bing's side. Just as he was pondering this, Teacher Yunxuan casually suggested, "Bingbing, did you bring your clothes too? Come to Aunt Xuan's house to change and let Aunt Xuan see how they look."
Chen Bing was naturally delighted with this invitation and readily agreed.
After making the appointment, the group quickly returned home.
As soon as Chen Bing pushed open the door to Shang Yunmiao's house, she heard the clattering sound of cooking.
After changing into slippers, I peeked into the kitchen and saw Uncle Shang, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, cooking.
"Why are you back so early today?"
While asking her husband questions, Yunxuan went to the kitchen to help with a smile.
Chen Bing remembers that Uncle Shang usually came back around 10:30 p.m., and sometimes he would work until the early hours of the morning.
The dismissal time for the ninth grade day students at Baishi No.1 Middle School is 9:00 PM. Today, because they had an extra evening self-study session, they went home with Aunt Xuan at 9:50 PM. Considering the ten-minute walk, it should be just past 10:00 PM now.
Logically speaking, Uncle Shang shouldn't be back by now.
Without much thought, Chen Bing turned to look at Shang Yunmiao, her eyes seemingly filled with anticipation.
I looked at her, and she looked at me.
After staring at each other for a while, Xiao Shang finally decided to try on the clothes first.
Watching her happily walk away with the clothes and packaging bags, Chen Bing was once again all alone. Although he was extremely familiar with Uncle Shang's family, he suddenly felt a bit like he had gone to a friend's house and ended up being left alone in their living room.
Logically speaking, to avoid feeling awkward, Chen Bing should follow Shang Yunmiao into her room and watch her change clothes.
But clearly, this plan was not feasible. Chen Bing had no choice but to suppress his reluctance and swagger to sit on his father-in-law's sofa, showing no sign of what a live-in son-in-law should be like.
Not only that, his father-in-law also had to come over personally, cheerfully asking him if he wanted to have some more late-night snacks.
Chen Bing refused the invitation without any courtesy, only accepting a small plate of fruit from his mother-in-law, which was a testament to his status.
Chen Bing hadn't even taken a few bites of the fruit when he heard the door to Shang Yunmiao's bedroom open with a "click." He looked up and saw the adorable Shang Yunmiao, dressed in a black fitted dress, walking out of the bedroom.
Honestly, this little girl is so bad at learning. She even went out wearing slippers. Doesn't she know that going out barefoot is the proper way to dress?
After staring intently at Shang Yunmiao's ankle for a second or two, and confirming that she couldn't see her small feet, Chen Bing continued to look upwards.
The end of the long skirt was tied a little below the girl's chest, and above the black ribbon was a white shirt with its hem tucked inside the skirt.
It's just an ordinary little shop; there's nothing special about it except that it's pretty.
Moving your gaze a little further upwards, you'll see the girl's fair neck and her slightly flushed face.
The girl's hairstyle was still the same as when she was in school, a low ponytail that hung down to her back.
Damn it, a high ponytail or pigtails would have been much more suitable. I think this little merchant has absolutely no idea.
Despite some minor flaws, she is still extremely beautiful overall, a modern and vibrant young woman with a strong traditional Chinese aesthetic.
However, Shang Yunmiao didn't seem to think so.
She looked a little shy, holding up one side of her skirt with one hand, which looked rather awkward.
"How...how is it?"
Glancing at Shang Zhengxin, who was carrying food and preparing to eat, Chen Bing slightly modified what she wanted to say, and replied in a rather serious tone: "It looks great, I think it suits you quite well."
Given that Chen Bing was still on the list of dishonest persons, and his words were not credible, Shang Yunmiao went to her parents to ask for their opinions.
After inquiring about the origin of the dress, Shang Zhengxin gave his opinion: "It's quite pretty, but the quality of the dress doesn't seem very good."
Teacher Yunxuan then pointed out more professionally what looked good and why.
After listening to all her family members' opinions, Shang Yunmiao's expression remained unchanged, and she did not continue to disturb her parents who were having a late-night snack.
She walked straight up to Chen Bing, twirled around, and then shared her opinion on the dress.
"I'm too short, this dress makes me look even shorter..."
To be honest, that's how it is. Shang Yunmiao's height in slippers is at most 1.6 meters, and wearing this kind of waist-cinching long dress will naturally make her appear even shorter.
However, Chen Bing felt that "petite" might be a more appropriate word than "short," since Xiao Shang was rather thin.
Although she's short, she also has a small frame.
For example, her shoulders are narrow, and her overall proportions are quite harmonious for someone who is around 1.5 meters tall.
Therefore, although Shang Yunmiao is less than 1.6 meters tall, she can pull off any outfit. Her short stature of 1.59 meters doesn't hinder her from walking the runway. Moreover, the black dress makes her appear even smaller.
"No, I think this outfit brings out your cuteness even more."
Even short-legged cats that look like lucky charms can be considered cute.
Thinking this to herself, Shang Yunmiao then placed her two small hands on Chen Bing's lower abdomen and urged him, "Chen Bing, you should also change into your class uniform. I want to see it too."
Okay, okay, so you really want to wear matching outfits with me, huh? Fine, then let's wear them, who's afraid of who?
After thinking this through, Xia Tou Nian picked up her clothes and, with Shang Yunmiao's two small hands pushing her, went into her room.
