Chapter 10: “It’s going to look sexy on you”

This time Bai Xue had to take the beating since the table is now on "no touching".

"Girls, I would like to tell you something." Bai Xue blurted suddenly in the middle of their conversation.

"It's good that you're ready to spill it now." Fei Xuan stared directly at her and nodded. Bai Xue widened her eyes when she heard it and glanced between her two friends as they both stare at her.

"You…. knew?" Bai Xue asked in a soft tone. She didn't know her friends have been watching her actions since the time they came.

"Of course, you've been acting strange since the time we came here." Su Jia replied and placed her hand on Bai Xue's hand on the table.

It's true Bai Xue has really been acting strange since the conversation started. More like she wasn't her usual self. While they ordered their food she zoned out for few minutes before Fei Xuan called back her attention. Also, while they were eating, she would pick at her food for a short while before eating at her normal pace.

Her two friends noticed her attitude and decided to distract her with some funny conversations and that made her laugh so hard, but it wasn't permanent because she went back to her moody self after laughing.

"What's wrong? Is everything okay?" Su Jia massaged her palm gently.

"I'm getting married." Bai Xue finally spilled the beans while glancing between her friends.

"What! Wait wh…. What do you mean?" Fei Xuan raised her eyebrows with her face full of questions.

Su Jia and Fei Xuan glanced at each other before staring back at her.

"I thought your focus is on achieving your dreams of becoming an architect." Fei Xuan asked with worry in her voice.

"Yes, it is, and I'm working on it." Bai Xue affirmed strongly with a nod.

Su Jia remained silent trying to figure out the whole situation as her back rest on the chair.

"But… why all of a sudden? I know it's not something you want to do now." Fei Xuan mumbled as her back rested on the chair.

"It's a request from my mom. And I don't want to refuse it since she has always been there for me. There... must be a reason she's deciding this all of a sudden." Bai Xue sighed.

Her two friends glanced at each other before they sighed. They both knew how much her mother means to her. And as her best friends, they always support her decision and try to chime in advice, but this time they can't talk her out of it.

"Is he handsome?" Su Jia blurted suddenly out of nowhere. Fei Xuan and Bai Xue stared at her in silence. Next, Fei Xuan hit her shoulders. "What's wrong with you? is that the only thing your brain can process right now?" Fei Xuan shaking her head and massaged her forehead.

"Why are you hitting me? I was only asking for a good reason." Su Jia whined as she massaged her shoulders.

"What good reason could it be?" Fei Xuan scolded. "Is that all you care about? Fei Xuan later rolled her eyes.

"I…." Su Jia pouted and folded her arms.

The three of them chatted for a while and tried to cheer up Bai Xue's mood as they started fighting for the position of the chief bridesmaid, but with Bai Xue's current mood, the conversation didn't go on for long.

Towards the evening time, the three friends went to shop for dresses to wear on a date. Since Bai Xue already told them she'll be going on a date with him. She selected a few of classy dresses and more of unique casual wear. While the shopping went on, Su Jia the busybody suggested for them to go to the undergarments section.

In a twinkle of an eye, Bai Xue was dragged towards the lingerie section. Both Fei Xuan and Bai Xue didn't know how the shopping got to this part, but they could sense trouble on the way. Because immediately they sighted the row for lingerie arrangements, Su Jia started selecting different types of designs for Bai Xue to try on.

"Here, try this wine-colored bodysuit, I think it's going to look sexy on you." Su jia chuckled.

Bai Xue shrieked at once when she saw the design under the suit. It has a wide opened space under that doesn't cover the vaginal area.

"Su Jia, are you crazy? Who's going to wear this?" Bai Xue screamed in her tiny voice throwing the bodysuit back to her friend. Fei Xuan also took a look at the suit and saw the opened space under.

"Why are you so naughty? This is not the time to start picking this. Are you telling her to seduce him?" Fei Xuan scolded Su Jia and threw the suit back to her.

Su Jia laughed out so loud with her hand on her stomach. "You both really can't a joke. It's a prank." Su Jia chuckled. "I wouldn't even do this so early even if I wanted to. We have to know if he's a good match first." Su Jia cleared her throat and returned the gown to its place. Bai Xue and Fei Xuan rolled their eyes at her in disbelief. They both know she's capable of doing something that silly, but they weren't expecting it so soon.

"You should never have done that." Fei Xuan continue to scold Su Jia with her arms folded.

"I was just…. trying to cheer her up." Su Jia pouted before Fei Xuan hit her gently on her back.

"Fei Xuan, why would you hit me, I'm not a baby." Su Jia whined and pouted.

"I think we have to leave now, Xiaodan is waiting for me." Bai Xue said to her friends while replying to a text on her phone. While the other two were arguing, Bai Xue wasn't paying attention to them anymore and replied some of the text sent by Xiaodan. He told Bai Xue he has something to say and to wait for him at the mall so he could pick her up, but Bai Xue refused the offer at once and insisted for him to wait for her at his studio. It's really has been a long time since she last visited his studio.

Due to Bai Xue's love for art, she often visited Xiaodan's studio to see his works. And sometimes she goes there to cheer him up whenever he had a deadline to meet for a competition.

Bai Xue and her friends quickly packed up their orders to the cashier and made an arrangement for everything to be delivered to their houses, respectively. She and her friends said their goodbyes at the entrance of the mall while Bai Xue took a taxi.
