Chapter 345: Changing Into New Clothes

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the way back, an unusual silence filled the atmosphere.

Song Zhi clutched her newly bought clothes tightly, but her happiness was marred by Xia Wan’s presence.

“Xia Wan, is this shop rented by your family?” Lin Shuang asked. “Why didn’t you tell us? Were you trying to make us lose face?”

Song Zhi shared Lin Shuang’s suspicion as she glanced unhappily at Xia Wan.

Xia Wan responded, “If I said my family owned the shop, would you believe

Lin Shuang was momentarily taken aback. Naturally, they wouldn’t believe it if Xia Wan claimed ownership; they’d think she was boasting.

Lin Shuang pursed her lips. “Whether we believe it or not is one thing. You should’ve still told us.”

Xia Wan gave her a cold look. “Since you don’t believe me, why bother saying it? Instead of explaining, how about I just show you?”

Lin Shuang wanted to argue more, but Song Zhi interrupted her. “Alright, Lin Shuang, enough talking.”

What Lin Shuang wanted to say was whether Xia Wan had embarrassed them enough.

Xia Wan noticed the shopping bag in Song Zhi’s hand and suggested, “Let’s go to the school dormitory and change your clothes. They look great on you.”

Despite Song Zhi causing trouble for her at school, since Song Zhi had purchased clothes from her store, she considered her a customer. Xia Wan wanted to ensure that her customers looked stunning in her clothes to boost sales. Furthermore, while her body was 18 years old, her soul felt almost 30. Song Zhi and the others were mere children in her eyes, so there was no need to be petty with them. In her previous life, it was Zhou Chen who had mistreated her and taken advantage of her feelings, unrelated to the other girls.

Song Zhi blushed slightly. Her relationship with Xia Wan was far from amicable. Normally, she wouldn’t listen to Xia Wan’s suggestions, but this time, Xia Wan’s words struck a chord.

Song Zhi had bought these new clothes to wear them, to make other students envious and earn their praise. She had spent a significant amount on them. However, because Xia Wan suggested it, Song Zhi felt somewhat embarrassed to admit it.

Liu Hua chimed in, “Those clothes suit you really well. You’re tall, and they enhance your appearance.”

With Liu Hua’s encouragement, Song Zhi nodded proudly. “Alright then. Since you’ve persuaded me, I’ll wear them.”

She feigned reluctance but was secretly pleased.

Xia Wan accompanied Song Zhi to her dormitory with a customer service attitude.

The dormitory had six beds, a mix of bunk and single beds, with no desks for students to study. If someone wanted to study in the dormitory, they’d usually sit on their own bed or buy a small stool or table and place it on the floor.

Song Zhi quickly changed into her new clothes. Unfortunately, there was no large mirror in the dormitory, so she couldn’t see her appearance clearly. Lin Shuang suggested, “Let’s go to the bathroom; there’s a big mirror there.” Song Zhi agreed and followed them.

At this noon break time, many girls were washing their hair in the bathroom using basins and kettles.

Song Zhi’s arrival drew the attention of many.

“Song Zhi, your dress is gorgeous. Where did you get it?” One girl inquired.

A crowd gathered around Song Zhi, offering compliments on her outfit.

Song Zhi’s vanity was satisfied. She smiled and shared, “I didn’t have much to spend. It’s only 120 yuan per piece, from the newly opened clothing store near the school.”

She discreetly glanced at Xia Wan while speaking, expecting her to step forward and claim ownership of the store.

However, Xia Wan remained silent.

Song Zhi found this somewhat surprising. She had assumed Xia Wan would take the opportunity to reveal her involvement.

However, Xia Wan didn’t say a word.

Song Zhi wondered if she had misunderstood Xia Wan in the past. Now that she observed her more closely, Xia Wan’s personality seemed quite low-key.

Xia Wan felt pleased as she witnessed everyone praising Song Zhi’s beautiful dress. It meant that her clothing store was gaining popularity. She then suggested to Liu Hua, “Liu Hua, let’s go back to the classroom.”

“Alright,” Liu Hua agreed. They left, leaving Song Zhi behind with mixed emotions.

After soaking up the praise, Song Zhi returned to her dormitory with Lin Shuang.

Puzzled, Song Zhi asked the girls in Lin Shuang’s dormitory, “Don’t you guys feel like Xia Wan has changed since school started?”
