Chapter 31: Spaghetti Strap Dress
A dress...
Other than that first night after crossing over, Chen Cheng hadn't worn a dress since.
She opened her wardrobe, staring at the rows of dresses hanging inside. Arms crossed, she tilted her head, looking over the selection with a troubled expression.
There were so many different styles~
Back in her previous life as a man, more than half of her wardrobe was empty, usually just three sets of everyday clothes for rotation.
Her mom was definitely playing favorites!
Chen Cheng pursed her lips, her dry, cracked lips slightly dampening as she sighed and shook her head.
"Why should I wear a dress just because An Yuan told me to?!"
"What if I look too good in it and it messes up our friendship?!"
"Damn it! He should just go find himself a girlfriend and have her wear dresses for him—" She grumbled but then suddenly stopped, frowning.
"No, wait, that's no good either! If he gets a girlfriend, where does that leave me? He'd be stuck to her all day!"
She recalled An Yuan's tearful moment last night, and her heart tensed.
To be honest, she had never seen An Yuan cry before, not in all these years.
He cried so silently that if she hadn't been paying close attention, he would've just turned away, wiped his tears, and kept joking around as if nothing had happened.
Was he dealing with some kind of mental struggle?
Thinking about it from his perspective, anyone who had gone through what An Yuan did before crossing over would definitely have some emotional scars.
Maybe the novelty and excitement of a new life had suppressed it for a while, but now it was finally surfacing?
"Li Wanyi, you are truly an evil bitch!"
"Ah~ but I already promised him..."
Chen Cheng clutched her head and flopped onto the bed.
Whatever. She was already a woman now. Wearing a dress wasn't that big of a deal, right?
No matter how stubborn she was, there was no way she could turn back into a man.
But it still felt so weird… She was planning to get some menswear, dress a bit more handsomely, and reclaim her masculine image when she wasn't in the bathroom or shower.
"Alright, let's see which one looks best."
With a reluctant frown, Chen Cheng sat up and started picking through the dresses.
There were quite a few, but most of them were long and conservative, barely showing any skin. Even the shortest ones only exposed her knees.
There were some shorter skirts, but they were just summer nightgowns. Too thin and flimsy to wear outside.
"This one's kinda cute."
"Why are there overalls here? Wait, are these a skirt or pants? Why do they have frills?"
"So many colors… Pretty nice, hmm."
"Whoa~ white stockings!"
Chen Cheng's eyes darted from one piece to another. Before she knew it, her bed was completely covered in dresses. She rubbed her chin, finally understanding why women took so long to pick outfits before going out.
It really was hard to decide!
Why did women's clothing have so many stylish options, while men's fashion was just long-sleeve, short-sleeve, long pants, short pants?
As she struggled with her choices, her gaze landed on a drawer inside the wardrobe.
She reached out and tried to pull it open, but it was locked, just as she expected.
This was the drawer where she used to store personal belongings. Back then, it had held love letters for girls, secret stashes of certain magazines, very explicit novels… and even black thigh-high stockings.
It's not that she's secretly wearing stockings. It's more that her adolescent fantasies about women are projected onto them... it's a kind of fetish.
Yeah, she had been a bit of a pervert.
But now? Now she was a girl. Even if she bought a whole drawer full of stockings, no one would say a thing!
So, what had her current self been keeping in there?
Curiosity flared up inside her. She turned and grabbed her school bag, digging into the deepest pocket until she found a small drawer key.
A sudden wave of nervousness hit her, like she was about to invade a girl's private space.
But wait, she was that girl. So how was this invading privacy?
The drawer clicked open easily.
The first thing that caught her eye was a tangled mess of wigs.
She pulled one out and examined it.
A long, wavy wig. It felt weird to the touch, probably one of those cheap ones that cost just a few yuan.
As Chen Cheng reached deeper into the drawer, she found some hidden notebooks and… certain spicy books.
She had checked the browser history and computer files before but found nothing suspicious, so she had assumed that her girl self was pretty innocent. Turns out, she was just good at covering her tracks.
Then, a small oval-shaped plastic ball rolled out from the depths of the drawer.
"..."
To be fair, she was already twenty-seven. Even though she had never been with a woman, she had still come across this kind of thing while scrolling through social media or browsing some online shopping platform. She knew about those "for girls only" items.
"She even bought toys?"
Chen Cheng realized that her girl self was way bolder than she had expected.
After all, back in her previous life, she had never even bought something like a self-pleasure... toys for herself...
"I should find a chance to throw it away."
Flustered, she hurriedly stuffed everything back into the drawer and locked it. She could already imagine the horror of her mom finding something like this. After all, she had been caught with stockings and spicy books before...
With the drawer secured, Chen Cheng turned back to the pile of dresses on the bed, scratching her head. She grabbed one at random to try on.
It was a pink cartoon-print spaghetti strap nightdress, made of soft cotton fabric. The loose, H-line design didn't show off her figure at all.
Even though she was already a girl, the moment she put on the dress, her ears burned red. Her heartbeat pounded in her ears like a drum.
Taking a deep breath, she took off her pajamas and slipped the dress over her head, adjusting it slightly.
Lowering her head, the hem of her skirt revealed half of her tender, slightly chubby thighs, swaying lightly with her movements. Without the restriction of trouser legs, her thighs felt empty under the skirt, as if the wind would blow straight up her skirt to her stomach. Most of her skin from her collarbone to her chest was exposed, and looking down, she could clearly see her cleavage.
So uncomfortable...
She instinctively pressed her legs together, feeling the smoothness of her bare skin rubbing against itself. Clutching the neckline of her dress, she felt a wave of unease settle in her chest, her eyes filled with nervousness.
Not wearing anything on her legs felt really weird.
Her gaze drifted to the white stockings in her wardrobe.
Honestly, she still preferred black stockings, they made legs look longer and slimmer. But her mom had stocked the wardrobe with nude, white, and even colorful stockings… just not black ones. Clearly, she thought black stockings weren't appropriate for a student.
Slipping on the stockings, she finally felt a bit more covered, almost like she was wearing pants again. But at the same time, the stockings brought a whole new sensation. Cool, silky, and snug… unexpectedly comfortable.
"Wow, my legs look so thin~ White stockings actually suit me."
"Maybe I should try on a different outfit..."
Ding-dong~
The sudden doorbell startled her.
She froze, feeling like she had just been caught doing something embarrassing, like getting caught reading a forbidden manga. Her mind went blank, and in a panic, she grabbed her school uniform and threw it on.
"Coming, coming!"
Luckily, the uniform was baggy enough to hide everything. With the skirt tucked in and the jacket zipped up, it didn't look too out of place.
Chen Cheng rushed to the door. But the stockings were way too slippery, she almost tripped the moment she started running.
When she finally opened the door, An Yuan was standing there, yawning with a schoolbag in one hand.
"Why is your face so red?"
"It's nothing."
He urged her, "We're gonna be late. Let's go."
"But… but…"
"Quit dawdling, I didn't even have time for breakfast today."
Chen Cheng glanced at the clock on the wall.
Crap. They were running late!
In a rush, she looked down at her uniform. It should be fine… right?
