"Marnie, you... that outfit is quite daring..."
Seeing Marnie take off her punk-style jacket to reveal her smooth, jade-like shoulders, Serena said with slightly reddened cheeks.
There was no denying that Marnie's figure had been improving.
Sun Wuming remembered when they first met, the neckline of her dress was practically flat as a board.
You could only catch a glimpse when she bowed to apologize.
Now you could see quite a noticeable curve just by her standing there...
"Serena, aren't you feeling hot? Why don't you take off a layer or two?"
Marnie asked in return.
"Eh? Me? Well, alright..."
Serena stole a glance at Sun Wuming as she removed her shawl.
Unfortunately, she was wearing a high-necked sports tank underneath, so there was no way to compare cup sizes with Marnie.
They seemed about equal at a glance.
Carina suddenly felt embarrassed.
What was going on? This atmosphere of her being the only one left out?
Should she also take off a couple layers to avoid standing out?
While Carina was still wrestling with this dilemma, the four of them arrived at the entrance to Desert City.
"Put them back on quickly."
Sun Wuming, who had been holding Marnie and Serena's clothes, suddenly stuffed their recently removed outerwear back into their arms.
When Marnie put her jacket back on, he even stepped forward to fasten the top button for her.
Carina was speechless.
How could she not guess what this dog of a man was thinking?
So basically no one but him was allowed to look...
"Why aren't you putting yours on?"
Marnie pointed at Sun Wuming's still-bare upper body, questioning him with clear displeasure.
"I'm a man, it doesn't matter if people look at me."
Sun Wuming said smugly, noticing the heated gazes from women along the street.
Just like in his past life when he obsessively went to the gym to build his abs - it wasn't for himself to look at, it was for others to see.
"How shameless..."
Carina rolled her eyes.
"Teacher, that's too unfair!"
Even the usually gentle and virtuous Serena puffed up her cheeks in anger.
Making her and Marnie put their clothes back on as soon as other people appeared, while he strutted around shirtless showing off.
Such a damn double standard.
Especially when she noticed the women around whispering and practically drooling while looking at his bare chest.
Serena couldn't help feeling annoyed.
At this point, Marnie suddenly reached for the top button that Sun Wuming had just fastened for her and threatened:
"If you don't put yours on, I won't wear mine either."
"Alright, alright~ I'll put it on."
Sun Wuming had no choice but to put his clothes back on, hiding his explosive chest and abs.
At this moment, you could faintly hear mature women along the street lamenting "What a shame," "Didn't get to look long enough," "Did anyone get a photo? Send it to me."
"Well done, Marnie!"
Serena sidled up to Marnie and secretly gave her a thumbs up.
Though Marnie's lips didn't curl up, her beautiful eyes narrowed into slits.
She looked quite pleased with herself.
