Chapter 122: Opening the Birthday Present
The butterfly’s wings stopped in Jiang Miao’s hand.
As the belt loosened, the white bathrobe slowly parted like a curtain opening on a stage, revealing the beautiful scenery within to the audience.
And at this moment, Jiang Miao was the only audience member.
However, Su Huaizhou was quite modestly dressed in the bathrobe. So even though the belt had been untied, the bathrobe was only opened slightly and still overlapped in places.
Through a narrow gap, a signal was faintly transmitted to the audience.
Su Huaizhou bit her lip and turned away, not daring to look at Junior Brother. Her right hand balled into a small fist and covered her mouth, and she was so nervous that her breathing nearly came to a halt.
At this point, Jiang Miao had already glimpsed Senior Sister’s smooth and flat stomach through the gap, her exquisite and charming collarbone, and her long and slender legs.
But clearly, it wasn’t entirely bare underneath.
He saw fabric.
“So you’re wearing clothes…” he murmured under his breath.“???” Upon hearing this, Su Huaizhou immediately flushed with shame and annoyance. She angrily closed the bathrobe tight and turned to leave. “If you don’t like it, then don’t look!”
“No, wait!” Jiang Miao quickly hugged Senior Sister from behind, preventing her from escaping. “I like it! How could I not like it?”
“You just want to see me naked!” She stomped on his foot fiercely and pouted. “Lecher! Pervert!”
“I just didn’t expect it,” he explained helplessly. “Senior Sister, you were really misleading. Who wears clothes under a bathrobe under normal circumstances?”
“But you were clearly disappointed, weren’t you?” Su Huaizhou retorted, unconvinced. “The moment you saw I had clothes on, you were obviously disappointed!”
“Senior Sister, you don’t understand.” Jiang Miao tightened his embrace, rested his chin on her shoulder, and nuzzled his cheek against hers. “It’s more attractive with clothes on.”
“… Really?”
“Not really,” he whispered teasingly in her ear. “Senior Sister, whether you’re dressed or undressed, you’re always the most attractive.”
“… You’re such a smooth talker,” Su Huaizhou murmured, her face flushed.
But she loved hearing Junior Brother say such things.
She knew he was clearly sweet-talking her, but for some reason, when those words came from him, they had an inexplicable power.
She couldn’t resist at all.
She even wanted more.
“Senior Sister, I haven’t finished unwrapping your gift.” Jiang Miao saw she had calmed down and couldn’t help his eager hands, which slowly moved along her slender waist towards the center of the bathrobe.
Su Huaizhou was still holding her bathrobe tightly. When Junior Brother touched the back of her hands, his cheeks immediately flushed bright red.
She clutched the edges of the bathrobe and pulled it tightly together in the middle to cover herself.
But Junior Brother touched the back of her hands and gently pried her fingers apart bit by bit.
The bathrobe held by her little hands began to part.
First, her flat, smooth stomach became visible and then her body wrapped in a light blue JK uniform.
Until the bathrobe slid off her shoulders, pooling around her feet in a circle.
Tonight’s birthday present was now fully and openly revealed before Jiang Miao.
Su Huaizhou was wearing a blue JK uniform with white stripes.
The short skirt was quite typical, barely covering a third of her thighs.
But the top was very short, just barely covering her upper stomach.
With Su Huaizhou’s figure filling it out, the hem became almost revealing, making it a hundred times more seductive than not wearing anything at all.
When her exposed skin came into contact with the air, she immediately shrank back, and her hands instinctively crossed over her chest, wrapping her arms around herself.
Although she had often worn revealing clothes in the past for drawing, it had always been for reference and only when she was alone in her room.
This was the first time she had dressed like this in front of someone else.
After seeing what Senior Sister was wearing, Jiang Miao took half a step back and released his hold on her.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to hug her, but he simply didn’t know how to proceed.
In the past, Senior Sister had always dressed conservatively, so no matter how much they hugged, he never directly touched any sensitive areas.
At most, he would touch her hands and face.
But now?
Jiang Miao felt that if he hugged her again, his hands would start moving on their own. “Senior Sister… what made you think of… wearing this?”
“… It’s your birthday present.” Su Huaizhou bit her lip and rolled her eyes at him with a blush. “Isn’t this what you chose?”
“…?” He was stunned for a moment before realizing that when Senior Sister asked him what outfit the female lead should wear, this was what she meant!
Damn! If I had known she would try it on herself, I would have suggested stockings to go with it!
“Uh, Senior Sister…”
“Hmm?”
“Actually,” Jiang Miao said tentatively, “I think JK uniforms need black stockings to go with them.”
Long black hair, JK uniform, black stockings, and Senior Sister!
It felt like the female lead from a comic was stepping out from another world!
“You wish!” Su Huaizhou blushed and stepped on his foot in protest. “This is all for today!”
“What about tomorrow…”
“Go die! Tomorrow isn’t your birthday anymore!”
“So what should we do now?” Jiang Miao blinked. “Do you want to hug?”
“No way…” Su Huaizhou pouted, took out her phone, unlocked it, and handed it to him. “Don’t you want an illustration of the female lead’s outfit? You pick the pose and take a picture. I’ll draw it according to the pose you pick.”
Jiang Miao: “?!”
Does this count as a custom request?
Damn, what should I do?
He was starting to feel reluctant to share this picture with his readers.
When Senior Sister finished the drawing, he might just keep it for himself.
What right do those dirty guys have to look at the drawing my wife modeled for?!
Even before Su Huaizhou started drawing, Jiang Miao was already feeling jealous.
“What are you thinking about?” she urged softly, hugging herself. “Hurry up and take the picture.”
“Senior Sister, can I use my phone instead?”
“No!” Su Huaizhou glared at him.
“Okay.” Jiang Miao opened the camera on her phone and aimed it at her in the JK uniform, which was even more enticing than being undressed. “Senior Sister, you can’t just stand there and let me take the picture, right?”
“Isn’t this okay? It’s just a reference for a drawing…” Su Huaizhou hesitated. “So, what pose do you want?”
“Ahem…”
As soon as Senior Sister said this, a flurry of imagined scenarios popped into Jiang Miao’s mind, causing his nose to itch.
With his extensive experience in browsing illustrations, he could effortlessly think of countless poses.
But because he liked so many of them, he found himself at a loss for which one to choose.
“Senior Sister, can we discuss something?”
“What else do you want?” Su Huaizhou had already ducked behind the couch, looking at him vigilantly.
“Umm… can I take a few more pictures?” Jiang Miao asked shyly. “After we finish, we can pick the best one from those.”
“Well…” She actually didn’t object to Junior Brother’s idea, but how could a modest girl agree so easily? “At most three! Not a single one more!”
“Three isn’t enough!” He moved behind Senior Sister, pressed her shoulders, and said softly, “It’s rare for you to wear such beautiful clothes. We should take a few more photos so it doesn’t go to waste.”
“… How many do you want?” Su Huaizhou shrank her neck, feeling so exposed in her outfit that she couldn’t even hold her head up in front of Junior Brother.
“Ahem…” He deliberated for a moment before probing, “Ten?”
“No way! Four, four photos!”
“Oh, so you mean eight, right?”
“Who counts like that?!” Su Huaizhou was embarrassed and annoyed. She turned her head and puffed her cheeks. “Five! No more bargaining.”
“But Senior Sister, it’s my birthday today,” Jiang Miao whispered into her ear.
“…” She was already too embarrassed to wait any longer. She simply closed her eyes and nodded as though she were about to be played to pieces. “Then… just one more… Hurry up and take the pictures…”
Seeing that Senior Sister was almost at her limit, Jiang Miao stopped teasing her.
But with her in a revealing JK uniform right in front of him, he found it hard to start taking pictures directly.
By the time Su Huaizhou realized what was happening, Junior Brother was already gently hugging her from behind.
“Why… are you still hugging me…”
“Senior Sister, you said it yourself. Hugs now count as part of the first stage.” Jiang Miao rested his chin on her shoulder and inhaled the fresh scent of Senior Sister’s hair after her shower.
Instead of fully wrapping his arms around her, he held her hand and placed it gently on her stomach.
But even so, the thin cloth didn’t provide much of a barrier.
With the weather still warm, Jiang Miao was wearing shorts.
As he hugged Senior Sister, their lower legs brushed against each other from time to time, creating tingling sensations that made their hearts flutter.
…
It was unknown how much time had passed.
It felt like only an instant, but the moonlight had already shifted in the sky.
Jiang Miao hugged Senior Sister’s soft body, as if by embracing her, he could hug her forever.
It was like an addiction.
He buried his face in her freshly washed hair, which he had just blow dried, and took a deep breath. Feeling as if he had finally recharged his energy, he reluctantly let go of her and took a few steps back.
He was afraid he wouldn’t be able to resist hugging Senior Sister tightly and squeezing her, especially since she was dressed like this tonight…
If she usually wore lighter clothing, he felt he might still be able to control himself.
But she usually wore cropped pants and loose T-shirts. Even on the rare occasions when they went out on a date, she opted for knee-length dresses.
How could they compare to what she was wearing tonight? A bare midriff, a super short skirt, and… Jiang Miao lowered his head and stole a glance… bare feet!
Although he really wanted to see her wearing black stockings, he felt that her delicate and tender feet looked quite lovely as they were.
Okay… I can’t think about it anymore. Jiang Miao shook his head and picked up Senior Sister’s phone again. “How should we take the pictures?”
After being hugged by Junior Brother for so long, Su Huaizhou had become somewhat used to wearing this outfit in front of him. Her expression had softened, and her body was no longer as tense as before.
“Okay…” Jiang Miao held her phone with one hand and stroked his chin with the other, deep in thought.
With only six pictures to work with, he needed to make each one count.
“Let’s start with a simple one.” He pulled her hand and guided her to sit on the couch. “Just sit naturally, Senior Sister.”
“Like this?” Su Huaizhou, clearly familiar with posing, sat on the couch, brought her legs together, and leaned slightly to one side.
This way, her two long, slender legs overlapped, accentuating her beautiful lines.
Because she was sitting, the already short skirt hiked up even more.
The lamp on the coffee table cast a warm glow, painting a faint layer of creamy yellow on Su Huaizhou.
She looked extremely delicious.
Jiang Miao didn’t know much about photography.
But with such a beautiful and captivating model in front of him, he felt that any photo he took would be stunning enough to mesmerize anyone.
He stepped back to the coffee table, held up the phone, and focused the camera.
Click.
The shy Senior Sister was captured in a still frame.
“Got it?”
“Mm.”
“What’s the next pose?” Su Huaizhou asked softly, biting her lip.
“Like this?” Jiang Miao looked at her alluring Senior Sister and felt tongue-tied, so he went to the couch to demonstrate.
He sat down, raised his legs, draped them over the armrest, and swung his calves.
“You’re really good at this.” Su Huaizhou rolled her eyes at him and then mimicked his pose. She rested her thighs on the armrest on her side and propped herself up with her hands, leaving her fair and tempting calves swaying in the air.
Jiang Miao smiled in embarrassment and hurried back to the coffee table to take his position for the second shot.
However, he wasn’t in a hurry to take the photo. Instead, he looked at Senior Sister through the camera and reminded gently, “Senior Sister, could you loosen your right slipper a bit? Just hook it with your toes.”
“…” Su Huaizhou bit her lips, her cheeks reddening further, but she still followed his instructions. She loosened the yellow slipper on her right foot and let it dangle over her glistening toes.
Click.
The second picture was taken.
“I seriously doubt you’ve never done this before.” She quickly moved her legs down and shot him an annoyed glare.
“How could I?” Jiang Miao shook his head repeatedly. “Senior Sister, you were the one who inspired me.”
“You’ve just seen too many lewd pictures, haven’t you?”
“Well, those were sent by you, Senior Sister.”
“Ahh!” Su Huaizhou pouted in annoyance.
But she found herself unable to refute him.
After all, back when she didn’t know that Peach Jam was a boy, she often sent him all sorts of lewd pictures.
After all, a person’s aesthetic sense was always limited. Whenever she accepted a commission, she would always go to Peach Jam for feedback.
Then she sent a bunch of lewd pictures and asked Peach Jam for ‘her’ opinion.
Who would have thought that Peach Jam was actually a boy?!
“Senior Sister, next is this.” Jiang Miao pulled a chair from the dining table, straddled it backward with his legs on either side, rested his arms on the backrest, and sat up straight to demonstrate the pose for her.
Face flushed, Su Huaizhou got up from the couch and copied Junior Brother’s pose, straddling the chair.
But there was a natural difference between her and him in terms of chest.
As soon as she leaned against the backrest and straightened her body, there was no gap between her body and the back of the chair.
Junior Brother found the perfect angle to snap a side-profile shot, one that made her so embarrassed that she wanted to snatch her phone back and delete it on the spot.
But soon, Su Huaizhou realized this was merely the beginning.
For the fourth and fifth photos, she leaned over the back of the couch, and he took a side shot that accentuated her long, beautiful legs.
Then she returned to the sofa and, following Junior Brother’s instructions, leaned her upper body over the armrest, leaving her legs fully supported by the couch, with one calf playfully raised.
Under the warm glow of the lamplight, her legs, which seemed to be coated in a creamy yellow, looked especially alluring, making him want to take a bite.
But for the last photo, when Su Huaizhou saw Junior Brother climb onto the couch and support himself on his hands and knees with his butt slightly raised, she instantly flushed red at the thought of having to imitate this pose. “J-Junior Brother! That’s not happening!”
