Chapter 692: Chapter 692: Want to Fight
High heels have always been synonymous with elegance and sensuality.
Some people may scoff, thinking that the beauty of women does not necessarily have to be shown through high heels, but for Bai Youwei, high heels have always been a distant dream.
Since the car accident when she was 12, there was only one type of shoe she could wear: easy-to-put-on-and-take-off, soft cloth shoes.
She doesn’t own any high heels.
And lacks a curvaceous silhouette.
Below the waist, a casual pinch would feel protruding bones. Her calf muscles had atrophied to the point of losing all aesthetic appeal. There are no signs of maturity on her body. She seems to have forever remained 12 years old, even puberty continued slower than her peers.
Even though the labyrinth had improved her physical condition, she still lacked high heels.
Yes, she wanted high heels.
Bai Youwei returned to the King’s Headquarters with the pair of high heels.
All along the way, she sneaked around, fearing to be seen. But she was lucky, and didn’t run into Shen Mo, Tan Xiao, Pan Xiaoxin, or Teacher Cheng.
Where had everyone gone?
Bai Youwei didn’t have time to ponder over this. Filled with anticipation, she dove into her room, locked the door, took out her prepared dress, and wore it with the high heels. She then stood in front of the full-length mirror –
The girl in the mirror had an awkward and nervous stance, but there was no denying that she looked young, beautiful, and eye-catching.
Bai Youwei stared at herself.
Then, she gently lifted her dress…
And quietly watched her own legs.
Fair, slender, straight… completely flawless, even her knees were plump and tender, glowing with a lustrous sheen.
She tried to take a step in front of the mirror.
The heels were too high, putting strain on the front of her foot. It was quite uncomfortable.
But it looked so good…
She carefully took steps in front of the mirror, walking back and forth, thinking to herself: It looks so good.
Would he like it? Like these legs…
Come to think of it, he hasn’t been seen since earlier. Where on earth could he have gone?
Was he sought out by Chu Huaijin again?
Bai Youwei thought for a moment, let down her dress, and decided to check the conference room.
When she left her room, the hallway was empty.
The clip-clop of the high heels on the polished tiles was like rhythmic music.
Bai Youwei’s heart was elated, and her steps became even lighter.
Passing by Teacher Cheng’s room, she heard talking from inside.
She stopped, looking at the door in confusion.
“The doctor has thoroughly examined, although a few test results are not out yet, it has generally been affirmed that Teacher Cheng’s health is quite good, but as for recovery… I’m afraid that’s not possible. The advancement of the labyrinth civilization is far beyond ours too much…”
It was Chu Huaijin’s voice.
Bai Youwei stared at the door blankly, her thoughts stuck.
They had just said that his health was excellent, why couldn’t he recover…
Teacher Cheng’s voice came: “For the time being, don’t tell Weiwei about this… She’s always thought I was fine. Don’t let her get upset. That girl doesn’t take these things well, she wouldn’t be able to get over it.”
Chu Huaijin also said: “Being alive is more important than anything else. You must rest well. We’ll help to keep this from Miss Bai.”
“Yes, yes, the Labyrinth War is serious. If Wei gets distracted because of this, it will be disadvantageous,” chimed in Tan Xiao.
“With her psychological quality, she’s unsuited for Labyrinth War from the start,” Ya Chaohui said coldly. “War is a test of how to command the troops, and requires decisiveness and a big-picture view. It’s not a game you can win by just being clever a couple of times.”
Tan Xiao retorted unsatisfied, “What’s your problem! Looking down on our boss?”
“I dare not underestimate her. I’m just stating the facts. The fact that Teacher Cheng ended up also indirectly shows she’s unsuitable for becoming a King.”
Tan Xiao rolled up his sleeves, “Damn it, I think you’re looking for a fight!”
