13: Miss Rice Bucket
"I suspect you're messing with me." Leticia, with a face full of despair, said viciously to Bai Ling, who wore the same expression.
"That's right." And Bai Ling actually nodded naturally, admitting it.
"I'll fucking fight you!" The furious Leticia waved her small fists and pounced at Bai Ling.
Facing the incoming powder puffs, Bai Ling calmly extended her hand and effortlessly caught Leticia's fist. "Be good."
"Fuck off!"
"Haha, Sister and Sister Qianqian really have such a good relationship." Bai Ya on the side suddenly felt like she was superfluous. She laughed dryly and said to the two girls, "The clothes are all taken care of. How about we go eat barbecue now?"
They had stayed at that clothing store for nearly three hours. Bai Ling waved her hand grandly and ordered more than ten outfits, making those ladies' eyes gleam as they almost wanted to pounce and hug Bai Ling's thighs shouting, "Rich lady, support me!"
These ten-plus outfits also included three sets for Leticia, which was Bai Ling's strong request.
"When the clothes arrive, I'll come to your house to take a look." After paying, Bai Ling even said this to Leticia.
The implication was that she would force Leticia to try on each of these outfits.
To this, Leticia expressed: fuck my life.
Why should she wear such clothes? Why!
Undoubtedly, those clothes would definitely be dresses, and the type of clothing Leticia hated most was dresses.
Not to mention that spider spirit had smiled and said to her at the end: "Oh right, consider the matching socks for the clothes as my gift to you."
Socks? Leticia had already guessed what type of socks those would be.
"Barbecue Bai Ling's meat? I'm somewhat interested in that." Leticia ground her teeth and squeezed out a cold voice.
Bai Ya smiled awkwardly. She'd just assume Sister Qianqian agreed.
"Then let's go to that famous Minotaur barbecue restaurant. I heard the barbecue there uses high-grade beef imported from the beastmen's grasslands, and it tastes much, much better than the beef here."
"Good." Bai Ling grabbed Leticia's wrist to prevent this girl, who was already fuming with rage, from doing anything irrational.
Seeing her sister's hand tightly gripping Leticia's wrist, Bai Ya showed an "as expected" expression.
Her sister had denied her relationship with Sister Qianqian just last night, but today they were already holding hands. Really saying one thing but doing another.
And although Sister Qianqian appeared very resistant, her resistance wasn't that intense either, which made Bai Ya subconsciously think that Leticia still had feelings for Bai Ling.
Little did she know that beneath their calm exteriors was an extremely intense confrontation.
Bai Ling's sword qi and Leticia's demonic qi were fiercely battling at the point where their bodies touched. It was precisely because of this that the atmosphere between Bai Ling and Leticia appeared so harmonious.
It wasn't until Bai Ya brought the two to the front of the barbecue restaurant that these two stopped fighting.
In a pure energy contest, neither could overpower the other. Although Leticia felt somewhat strained, she could still hold on.
"You're still as annoying as before." Rubbing her somewhat purple wrist, Leticia said out of nowhere.
Bai Ling stared blankly at her still clean palm and slowly nodded. "So are you."
This back-and-forth exchange made Bai Ya even more convinced of her suspicions. Look at what these two were saying—no way they had no relationship!
Perhaps because it wasn't yet official lunchtime, there were very few customers in the barbecue restaurant. The three girls easily found an empty seat and sat down.
The waiter brought over the menu. Looking at the dazzling array of items on the menu, thin mosquito coil-like spirals gradually appeared in Bai Ya's eyes.
What the hell was this "French Sweet and Sour Tomato Slices with Butter Egg Bits"!
"Holy shit, isn't that just scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Making it sound so fancy." Leticia peeked over and said somewhat speechlessly.
"Cough cough, at least it sounds more sophisticated than scrambled eggs with tomatoes, right?" The young waiter naturally picked up on Leticia's complaint.
"The price is much higher too."
"Gotta make money."
While Leticia was complaining to the guy about the dish names and pricing on the menu, the dizzy Bai Ya had already chosen what she wanted to eat.
After handing the menu to Bai Ling, Bai Ya suddenly remembered that this place seemed to have multi-person set meals.
"Should we order a three-person set meal?" she suggested.
"With your sister's appetite, she could finish a three-person set meal by herself." Leticia objected. With a three-person set meal, she was afraid she wouldn't get to eat what she wanted.
Bai Ling's face turned imperceptibly red. The amount of food she needed to consume daily was indeed quite a large number, and the breakfast her sister had made this morning according to an ordinary girl's appetite hadn't filled her stomach at all.
In other words, she was now... a bit hungry.
But for a girl, having a big appetite didn't seem like a good descriptor.
"I only need this one portion..."
"Don't be shy. Mistreating yourself isn't good." Before Bai Ling could finish, Leticia snatched the menu from her hands and swiftly ordered several more main dishes.
After ordering, she even showed Bai Ling a "don't mention it" smile as she began to rub her hands together eagerly.
