Chapter 655: Chapter 317: Twintails

"Lin Shen, does this look good?"

"It looks amazing!"

Lin Shen couldn’t help but take a step forward. He cupped Gu Wanqing’s face, leaned down to kiss her lips, and then patted her head with a soft chuckle. "I-I mean it. You really suit the twin-tails look. Why don’t you keep it like this for today?"

"Really?" A bright gleam flashed in Gu Wanqing’s beautiful eyes. She hadn’t expected to receive such high praise just by casually changing her hairstyle. Wrapped in sweetness, her heart filled with secret delight and happiness.

She hopped excitedly a few times, making her twin-tails bounce up and down, looking incredibly cheerful. "If you like it, Lin Shen, then I’ll keep this hairstyle for today."

"Yeah." Lin Shen smiled and followed Gu Wanqing to the cashier to pay.

His gaze frequently swept over the girl in front of him, who was a head shorter than him, and a hint of fiery desire sprouted in his heart. Twin-tails gave off a completely different vibe when viewed from the front versus the back. From the front, one might be captivated by Gu Wanqing’s stunning face, but from behind, the way those high twin-tails swayed slightly with each step would stir up an inexplicable restlessness in a man. The internet always joked that twin-tails were the most suitable hairstyle for "steering."

Looking at it now, it was absolutely true.

A wicked smirk curled on Lin Shen’s lips. Unable to suppress his stray thoughts, he reached out and tugged at Gu Wanqing’s twin-tails from behind. This caused her to stumble backward instinctively into Lin Shen’s warm embrace. She looked up with a flushed little face, a trace of bashful annoyance and reproach in her beautiful eyes, and couldn’t help but playfully scold him.

"Lin Shen, why did you pull my hair?"

"Sorry." Lin Shen wrapped his left arm around Gu Wanqing’s slender waist while his right hand gently stroked her cheek. He rubbed it and pinched it, endlessly toying with her face. "You’re just too cute. I couldn’t help myself for a moment, I just wanted to bully you a little."

"MEW..." Gu Wanqing whimpered twice like a little kitten. Deep down, she didn’t hate being played with like a toy by Lin Shen; she even felt a trace of secret delight.

However, as they were about to pay, Gu Wanqing pulled out of Lin Shen’s embrace. After all, they could be intimate like this when no one was around, but with people watching, Gu Wanqing was still rather reserved.

But when Gu Wanqing prepared to hand over the money, Lin Shen gently caught her wrist and immediately pulled out his own payment QR code. "Let me pay. Treat it as an apology."

"Huh?" In the brief moment Gu Wanqing was stunned, Lin Shen had already finished paying and led her out of the variety store.

It was only then that she thought to explain. "Lin Shen, I wasn’t mad at you! Why did you have to apologize!" Gu Wanqing pouted at Lin Shen, while he looked slightly surprised.

"You didn’t mind me treating you like that just now?"

"Of course not." Gu Wanqing took the initiative to lift Lin Shen’s hand and, just like a cat, affectionately rubbed her cheek against his palm. Lin Shen could even feel the scorching heat radiating from her face. She looked incredibly adorable. "Not only did I not hate it, I even..."

Gu Wanqing’s pretty face blushed, and she didn’t finish the second half of her sentence. In truth, when she had been pulled back into Lin Shen’s arms and had her face rubbed, she had felt an unprecedented sense of security. It was as if she were a cherished and pampered pet, developing an even stronger sense of reliance on Lin Shen than ever before.

This was a feeling Gu Wanqing had never experienced. Previously, her feelings for Lin Shen had mostly been affection and admiration. But as they went on their date today, with their physical contact increasing, a sense of infatuation and deeply attached worship gradually sprouted in Gu Wanqing’s heart toward him. It was even gradually evolving into submission...

Even when Lin Shen treated her like a toy and pinched her cheeks, Gu Wanqing didn’t feel the slightest annoyance. Wherever his large, gentle hands touched her skin, it produced a scorching heat she had never felt before. She even wanted to be touched more, to the point where her legs felt a bit weak.

She wondered why this was. Gu Wanqing couldn’t quite understand why she was having these feelings. Thinking it over, it probably had to do with Lin Shen’s actions. Because the way he stroked her face just now didn’t feel like someone caressing a lover at all; instead, it felt more like someone petting a pet...

"If Lin Shen takes care of me like a kitten, I guess that wouldn’t be so bad..." Gu Wanqing pondered this in her heart as she linked arms with Lin Shen and continued to the next store.

However, since Lin Shen had bought things for her, she wanted to buy something for him as well. She took the initiative to ask. "Lin Shen, is there anything you want? I’ll buy it for you."

"You should save your living expenses for yourself."

"No!" Gu Wanqing felt that if she didn’t contribute something to Lin Shen, their relationship would seem too one-sided in her favor. "I can’t just let Lin Shen take care of me forever, right? I have to treat him well, too!"

Gu Wanqing hugged Lin Shen’s arm tightly and acted coquettishly. "You’ve been taking care of me all day, Lin Shen, so now it’s my turn to ’take care’ of you! Hurry up and tell me, is there anything you want me to do?"

Things he wanted to do... Lin Shen pretended to think it over, but all the things he wanted to do were indescribable. Bringing them up to Gu Wanqing would be crossing the line too much. As a result, Lin Shen thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with anything he wanted Gu Wanqing to do, causing her pouting lips to turn up even higher.

"Lin Shen, do you not need me anymore?"

"I never said that," Lin Shen hurriedly explained and immediately suggested, "How about I buy you clothes, and you model them for me?"

Lin Shen’s words completely bewildered Gu Wanqing. What did he mean by buying clothes for her to wear? "Does that count as something I can do for Lin Shen?"

Gu Wanqing couldn’t quite understand it, but Lin Shen explained, "Just like the *Love Nikki* dress-up game that you girls like to play. You wearing the clothes I buy is actually considered a reward for us guys."

"Really?" Gu Wanqing still couldn’t quite comprehend it. "Then you guys are way too easy to satisfy. You just need me to show off the clothes you buy, but aren’t you still the ones spending money?"

"But we get to enjoy it visually." Lin Shen smiled and held Gu Wanqing’s hand. "Let’s go. We’ll head to a clothing store, and I’ll pick out some outfits for you."

"Um... okay." Although she still couldn’t understand Lin Shen’s reasoning, Gu Wanqing figured that as long as he liked it, she would just go along with it.

And so, the two walked into a Moxi women’s clothing store. It was a trendy women’s apparel boutique. Most of the clothes in the store leaned toward a preppy, girlish style, even including some Lolita-style dresses. It was the perfect place for young girls to browse. Thus, the moment Gu Wanqing walked into the store, she was instantly captivated by the gorgeous-looking little dresses.

"Wow! All these dresses look so pretty."

"Are there any you want to try on?"

"Mmm..." Gu Wanqing looked around and felt like trying them all on, but she was too embarrassed to say so. However, as they passed a full-length mirror used for trying on clothes, Gu Wanqing suddenly stopped, tugged excitedly at the hem of Lin Shen’s shirt, and said, "Lin Shen, let’s take a picture!"

Lin Shen looked slightly taken aback, while Gu Wanqing seemed full of enthusiasm about the idea. After all, having come out wearing such a cute dress and even specifically putting on white thigh-high socks, Gu Wanqing naturally wouldn’t let such a good photo opportunity slip by. Furthermore, when she flipped through her photo album earlier, she realized there were almost no photos of her and Lin Shen together on her phone. This left her feeling a little disappointed, so she had planned to take plenty of photos during their date today.

Especially in a clothing store—it was one of the best places for couples to take photos! After all, they had mirrors, which made it convenient.

So Gu Wanqing pulled Lin Shen over to the full-length mirror, clung tightly to his arm, leaned her head against his shoulder, and took out her phone to snap a mirror selfie. She even playfully lifted her left leg, looking incredibly adorable.

Seeing this, Lin Shen suddenly stepped behind Gu Wanqing and chuckled softly. "How about you take a picture of me hugging you?"
