Chapter 88: If Qinger is No Longer Here

“Come, Yaya, spin around and let Brother Lin have a look.”

“Ohh~”

In the courtyard, Yaya, wearing small red shoes that wrapped around her ankles, spun gently, her light pink Lolita dress opening up slightly like an umbrella.

When Yaya stopped, the fluffy hem of the Lolita dress smoothly closed, and a fluffy fox tail poked out from beneath the skirt.

Fluffy ears stood on both sides of her head; Lin Xun had also tied a bow between the girl’s black hair, making her look even cuter.

“Satisfied!”

Lin Xun took a deep breath, wiped his face hard as his eyes grew moist, and looked up at the sky as if he could die without regrets.

Yes!

Since his previous life, Lin Xun had fantasized about a beast-eared girl wearing a Lolita dress spinning in front of him!

Now! His wish had come true!

Beast-eared girls are the best!

Long live Lolita!

Cuteness is justice!

“Brother Lin, Brother Lin, are you okay?”

Sensing something slightly off with Lin Xun, Yaya trotted to his side, her small hands shaking his knees.

“I’m fine, I’m fine.” Lin Xun rubbed Yaya’s head. “Brother is just happy. Yaya, thank you. Thank you for helping me fulfill my wish and breaking the Dimensional wall.”

“???” Yaya tilted her head, her small face full of adorable confusion. What was Big Brother saying? What was a Dimensional wall?

“Yaya… Yaya… let’s go pick up autumn leaves. There are so many beautiful ones; we can use them to make bookmarks.”

Just as Yaya was wondering, a few childish shouts came from outside the courtyard gate.

They were Yaya’s little friends. Recently, Yaya had enrolled in Luocheng Academy, and her cute appearance and gentle personality had made her the class favorite.

Two days ago, a Little boy had given Yaya candy, but Yaya hadn’t accepted it. Lin Xun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he found out the reason.

Because Yaya said she only ate Brother Lin’s candy.

Then, Lin Xun felt that this Little boy’s thoughts were inappropriate—thinking about romance at such a young age—so he assigned him more homework, feeling that kids these days just didn’t have enough to do.

“Alright, Yaya, go play. Remember to come back early; it’ll be time for lunch soon.” Lin Xun gave her a customary head pat.

“Mhm~”

Yaya stopped thinking about Dimensional walls, nodded obediently, hid her tail and ears, and happily trotted out while holding up her skirt.

“Wow, Yaya is so cute.”

“Yaya, where did you buy these clothes?”

“Yaya, I want to buy one too.”

“Yaya, let’s cuddle~~~”

“I want to cuddle with Yaya too~~~”

The voices of the little girls outside the gate grew distant. In the courtyard, Lin Xun wore a smile like a doting father.

To Lin Xun, it didn’t matter if Yaya was the Eldest Princess of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan from the Demon Race World, if she was already fifteen hundred years old, or if she would regain her memories and original form in the future.

At the very least, right now, Yaya was just Yaya, and he would give her a warm and happy childhood.

Recalling Yaya’s bouncing figure just now, Lin Xun decided that the next custom outfit should be a Little Red Riding Hood set; it would probably look great.

However…

Looking at the JK sailor uniform on the table, Lin Xun fell into deep thought.

How should he trick his wife into putting on this outfit?

Last time at the Zilin Grand Ceremony, he hadn’t found Qinger. Instead, he had been dragged around by the Zilin Saintess, and something had even happened to the Celestial Boat…

In short, he had wasted a perfect opportunity to get his wife to wear a JK sailor uniform legitimately.

Now, tricking Qinger might be a bit difficult.

“What are you thinking about?”

Just as Lin Xun was racking his brains, Qinger’s voice drifted over. A breeze blew past, carrying the girl’s faint and familiar fragrance.

Looking up, he saw his wife’s beautiful face.

“I’m thinking about a major life event.”

Lin Xun smiled and pulled his wife into his arms, encircling her slender waist. He rested his chin on her soft shoulder and wrapped her small hand in his palm, looking at the peach and parasol trees in the courtyard, which had turned golden under the touch of autumn.

“What major life event?” Leaning against her husband’s head, Jiang Qingshang spoke with her eyes closed.

“I designed a dress and was wondering how to get my most beautiful wife to wear it for me.”

“Husband designed it?” Jiang Qingshang said with a smile. “Husband even knows how to design dresses?”

“Of course!”

Lin Xun reached for the bundle on the table and placed it on his wife’s lap.

Jiang Qingshang curiously opened the bundle and unfolded the top; it was a style she had never seen before.

The garment was pure white with a black bow at the chest. It had no complex decorations and was very elegant and simple. Although the style was strange, it was very pretty.

However, the sleeves were too short, not even covering the elbows…

She put down the top and picked up the skirt.

This is a skirt?

A blush crept over Jiang Qingshang’s small face.

Where was there such a short skirt? The hem barely reached the knees.

“Husband!” With her face slightly red, Jiang Qingshang pressed the Pleated miniskirt against her knees and said coquettishly, “Husband, I won’t wear this!”

“Uh…” Lin Xun knew he had failed.

Although a Japanese JK sailor uniform was normal in his previous life and a mainstream outfit among girls…

This was the ancient world, after all. Even though Lin Xun had adjusted the length so that the hem, which usually reached the upper thigh, now reached the knees, it was still unacceptable… It seemed there was still a long way to go before he could get Qinger to wear a Japanese sailor uniform.

It’s fine. When the Maid outfit is ready, I’ll try that. The skirt of a Maid outfit is very long, so there shouldn’t be much of a problem.

But whether it was the pleated skirt of the sailor uniform or the ankle-length Maid outfit, they were only for his eyes. He couldn’t possibly let Qinger wear them outside!

Speaking of which, is a traditional Western Maid outfit better, or Noelle’s Maid outfit?

It’s a tough choice. Maybe I should make one of each?

“Alright. Husband, your brows are all bunched up. Are you that unwilling to give up?”

Seeing Lin Xun’s silence, Jiang Qingshang pulled her hand away and gently smoothed out his furrowed brows.

“Ah, yeah.” Lin Xun quickly sighed and followed his wife’s lead. “I’m very unwilling!”

Actually, Lin Xun was reminiscing about the style of Noelle’s Maid outfit.

“Just this once,” the girl said softly, her face blushing.

“Huh?”

Lin Xun was stunned for a moment, then instantly became wide awake!

He had even mentally designed Keqing’s outfit! Wait, maybe Ganyu’s? Ningguang’s would work too!

“Alright, but Husband must also promise me one thing.”

“Tell me! Your husband feels omnipotent right now!” Lin Xun never refused his wife anyway, and now it was even more impossible.

Jiang Qingshang smiled slightly, turned in Lin Xun’s arms, and gently stroked his cheek, her eyes overflowing with tenderness:

“If Qinger is no longer here, Husband must take good care of himself.”
