After a One-Night Stand with a Seductive Bad Woman - Chapter 17

This shop specialized in women’s swimwear and only served female customers.

At the moment, the store wasn’t crowded, so the two decided to browse on their own without a sales assistant.

However, eager sales pitches came from both sides.

As a sales assistant showered a particular swimsuit with extravagant praise, Lu Jia glanced over out of curiosity and saw a pair of long, pale legs. She quickly looked to the right, only to be met with an almost completely exposed back.

Even though it was a swimwear shop…

Even though curtains behind the display windows separated the interior from view…

Even though… even though everyone was a woman…

Did people really wear swimsuits so casually around others?

Lu Jia silently lowered her head, afraid to look anywhere else, and resolved to simply follow Sheng Shubai’s lead.

Noticing the girl’s averted gaze, Sheng Shubai teased her with a smile, “Don’t just look down. Check out the styles. Do any catch your eye?”

Suddenly, Lu Jia felt a woman’s cool fingertips brush her forearm. Instinctively, she flinched, then quickly realized her mistake.

“I think they all look good,” she said, her eyes darting across the colorful array of greens, pinks, and whites, though she hadn’t really registered any specific details.

After a pause, Lu Jia felt that giving such a dismissive answer after Sheng Shubai had taken the time to accompany her to buy swimwear would be impolite.

She pointed at random, “This one, I guess.”

Sheng Shubai’s gaze paused, his tone carrying an ambiguous depth. “So—you’re interested in this kind?”

It was only then that Lu Jia realized exactly which swimsuit she had chosen.

It was a two-piece set in pale pink.

The top featured minimal fabric across the chest, with a shallow V-neckline and a sheer, gauze-like panel that barely covered her lower abdomen. Thin straps crisscrossed her back, tied into a decorative bow that offered little practical coverage.

The skirt, on the other hand, was relatively modest, with a small bow at the side waist adding a touch of cuteness.

The style clashed sharply with Lu Jia’s usual conservative attire.

Seeing that the two customers who had been browsing for a while were finally making a selection, another sales associate, who had been idly standing nearby, couldn’t resist stepping forward to promote the swimsuit.

“Miss, you have excellent taste! This set is one of our bestsellers and perfectly suited for young women like you.”

Lu Jia paused, about to politely decline, but noticed Sheng Shubai’s intrigued gaze, as if he were eager to see her try it on.

“Could you please get me a set in my size?”

She nodded to the shop assistant.

After all… it’s just trying it on. It won’t hurt to try.

The boutique offered excellent service. Along with the swimsuit, they provided disposable undergarments for customers to wear temporarily while trying on clothes.

It wasn’t until the sales assistant handed her the swimsuit that Lu Jia realized the back was nearly completely open, similar to the one she had seen another customer wearing earlier, with only a few thin straps for support.

Having never tried on such revealing swimwear before, Lu Jia wasn’t sure if it would suit her.

Sheng Shubai, however, raised an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling with interest. “Try it on! You’ll look stunning.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Lu Jia took the swimsuit and stepped into the fitting room.

Sheng Shubai remained outside, continuing to browse. Before long, she had already pointed out several swimsuits in a similar style to the first one.

As the shop assistant brought over the appropriate sizes one by one, there was still no sign of movement from the fitting room.

Sheng Shubai walked over and knocked on the door Lu Jia had entered. “Lu Jia, are you still changing?”

The fitting room had a mirror. Surely the girl wasn’t trying it on and then planning to change back without letting her see?

Don’t be so stingy.

The door wasn’t completely sealed; a gap remained at the top.

At that moment, only one woman was waiting for her friend in the fitting area. The surroundings were quiet, and Sheng Shubai could hear the rustling of fabric from inside the fitting room.

Suddenly, the door cracked open slightly.

Along with the warm white light spilling from the room, Lu Jia’s hesitant voice floated out:

“Miss Sheng, could you ask a staff member to come in and help me tie the straps? I’ve never worn anything like this before, and I’m not sure how.”

A sharp-eyed staff member, already moving to assist, called out briskly through the door: “Miss, the straps on this style are in the back. It can be tricky to fasten them the first time. I’ll help you—”

Sheng Shubai waved her hand, cutting her off. “My friend is quite shy. I’ve worn similar styles before, so there’s no need for you to trouble yourself.”

The staff member nodded politely and retreated to her previous position.

Slipping through the crack in the door, Sheng Shubai saw Lu Jia had already changed into the two-piece outfit. Her hands were still covering her chest, and she stood a few steps away.

Sheng Shubai looked her up and down, nodding approvingly. “It’s beautiful. It really suits you.”

Noticing Lu Jia’s self-conscious gesture, she chuckled softly, lowering her voice. “What are you hiding for? What haven’t I seen before?”

Lu Jia suited pink even better than Sheng Shubai had imagined.

With her still-youthful appearance and delicate, fair features, the soft, pale pink accentuated her natural innocence, transforming her awkwardness into an endearing, gentle charm. She looked less like a twenty-two or twenty-three-year-old and more like a newly-adult younger sister.

Sheng Shubai clicked her tongue inwardly. She had just selected several swimsuits in this style, as well as some lingerie of the same aesthetic from her shopping app. Now she hesitated, wondering if she should buy them.

What if the girl looked too young and innocent? How would Sheng Shubai cope with the guilt when they were intimate?

Under the woman’s steady gaze, Lu Jia earnestly explained, “I’m just holding it up. The back isn’t tied yet, otherwise it would slip down.”

Slipping down wouldn’t be so bad either, Sheng Shubai thought, swallowing the teasing remark. She walked closer and said, “Turn around.”

Lu Jia nodded and obediently turned her back.

The girl’s smooth, pale back was now fully exposed to Sheng Shubai’s view, like a length of soft, pure white silk.

Her shoulder blades were exquisitely defined, and the curve of her waist was perfectly proportioned, slender enough to be held in one hand, almost evoking the sensation of delicate skin melting against her palm.

There were no other marks on her back.

Good thing Gu Ji was mindful of today’s swimsuit shopping and deliberately avoided leaving any hickeys last night, Sheng Shubai thought.

Her shoulders were bare; her bra lay draped over a nearby rack. It was her usual style—a thin, white padded bra with no embellishments, its soft, direct texture even more pronounced beneath Sheng Shubai’s palm.

“Are you wearing n1pple covers?” Sheng Shubai asked, her thoughts drifting for a moment before returning to the present. “Are they comfortable? Any discomfort?”

She guessed Lu Jia hadn’t tried these before. She’d glimpsed the circular silicone covers when the shop assistant brought them over—easy for beginners to apply and unlikely to slip.

“They’re fine,” Lu Jia nodded honestly, then shook her head. “No discomfort.”

Sheng Shubai’s gaze traced the line from Lu Jia’s shoulder down her spine to her lower back.

The two waist dimples Sheng Shubai adored were hidden beneath the swimsuit skirt, temporarily out of sight.

She sighed regretfully, picked up the dangling ties, and carefully crossed them around Lu Jia’s waist.

As she was about to tie them at the front, Sheng Shubai paused, her voice softening with a coaxing tone. “Lift it up.”

The ties would look best beneath the sheer fabric, floating freely without restraint.

It was a two-handed embrace.

Sheng Shubai was already slightly taller than Lu Jia, and the girl had changed into slippers for easy changing.

As they drew closer, Sheng Shubai’s gaze drifted over Lu Jia’s shoulder and down, easily seeing the front view from behind.

Lu Jia’s hand still rested casually over her chest, but she made no deliberate effort to conceal herself. The pale curves were dazzling.

With her other hand, she lifted the sheer fabric, the material brushing lightly against the back of Sheng Shubai’s fingers, sending a delicate, ticklish sensation through her.

Lu Jia’s breath suddenly brushed against Sheng Shubai’s ear. Lu Jia’s fingers tightened on the fabric, her eyelashes fluttering slightly.

Her ears were her most sensitive spot, and Sheng Shubai often teased her there.

But in this moment, the position was perfect.

Lu Jia couldn’t tell if Sheng Shubai’s actions were deliberate or accidental.
