A Slight Smile is Very Charming

Part 21: I Was Waiting For You

Xiao Ling believes that life is full of surprises.

For example, on the night before the level 6 exam (College English Test), Wei Wei has actually dragged her out to go shopping.

Alright, although Wei Wei says this is to let herself relax from all the studying before the exam, there's still no need to get all excited and rush to the clothing stores near the school......

Er Xi and Si Si are also amazed by this.

They head back to the dorm room after dinner just to find out that both Xiao Ling and Wei Wei are not there.  Their books are still on the table, so they clearly haven't gone to self-study.  Er Xi decides to send Xiao Ling a text message out of curiosity.

Xiao Ling quickly replies—–accompanying Wei Wei to buy clothes.

Er Xi is flabbergasted.  She asks which store they're at and pulls Si Si with her to go see.  Once they arrive and push open the door, Wei Wei just happens to be walking out of the fitting room.

Er Xi and Si Si are frozen at the entrance.

They have never seen such a stunning Wei Wei.

Her naturally wavy hair, usually in a ponytail, is let down and spread across her fair shoulders.  She is donning a red over-the-knee dress with a v-neck design that reveals her elegant collarbones.  The dress is made of light fabric which fits tightly over the curves of her body, accentuating her small and attractive waist.  The dress ripples over any slight movement, and her long and sleek legs dazzle all passer-bys, making them unable to shift their gazes.  She is wearing a pair of clear stiletto sandals, which compliments her charming ankles.  Wei Wei is absolutely mesmerizing and radiating with brilliance; the small clothing store feels lit up all of a sudden.

Everyone is in awe.  It takes Xiao Ling a while to realize that Er Xi and Si Si are here.  She says to them proudly, "How is it?  I picked it out for Wei Wei.  I've got great taste, don't I?"

She definitely has great taste.  Just as Er Xi is about to praise Xiao Ling, she sees Wei Wei turn around with a dismal look on her face, "Xiao Ling, can't you find something more conservative for me?"

Xiao Ling, "......"

Er Xi, "......"

Si Si, "......"

The sales associate secretly coughs in her head.  How is this dress not conservative?!  It's just that your body is too curvy!  It has nothing to do with our store's pure and innocent dress!!!

After a moment of silence, Xiao Ling speechlessly turns around and continues to pick out new clothes for Wei Wei.  Er Xi walks inside the store and asks Wei Wei, "Why do you want to buy new clothes all of a sudden?"

Wei Wei says, "Because I realized that the clothes I bought last year have been worn out >o<"

Er Xi doesn't know what to say; isn't this what she told her long ago?  And weren't you still wearing them happily just a few days ago?

Si Si says, "You don't need to come out and buy new clothes today, do you?  You have an exam tomorrow."

"Uh......" Wei Wei can't find any words to explain herself.  She isn't prepared to tell anyone that she will be meeting NaiHe, so she says vaguely, "Um......I have an interview tomorrow!"

It's not really a lie.  Tomorrow's "interview" will be an interview of a lifetime!

Er Xi asks in shock, "You're working over the summer?  Which company is so evil as to set your interview on Saturday night, the same day that you're having an exam?  It'll be 5:20pm by the time you're finished with your exam."
