Chapter 151 Clearly a White Lotus (Please Subscribe)

“Yuanying has really grown up and become sensible.”

This girl seemed to have gotten addicted to stepping on him, but Chen Shijun couldn't stand having that hundred-odd pounds bouncing on him, so he eventually pushed her aside, citing his dislike for her.

"I just washed my feet, they're absolutely fine!"

Xiao Yuan solemnly assured Chen Shijun, but this was clearly not a matter of whether or not she had washed her feet. Her toes had just been right next to Chen Shijun's face, which was a provocation against his authority.

"How about I go buy you a pair of shoes later? Didn't you ask me to give you a separate birthday present last time? Let's go now."

As Chen Shijun drew back the curtains and saw that it was already dark, he extended an invitation to his sister, who had worked hard all day. Unexpectedly, she lowered her head.

"I don't want to, I'm not going."

Yuan Ying's face flushed slightly. Although she told the man today that she was a size 39, she was actually wearing a size 40, a real big-footed rabbit.

Girls of this age are highly sensitive, and large feet can easily be subjectively magnified as unattractive, causing them to worry about negative comments from Chen Shijun.

Although I was a bit reckless today, if he takes me to buy shoes, won't that expose me? And what am I going to do if the store doesn't have my size?

"Besides, if we go to the mall, we'll easily get photographed, which would be troublesome."

He simply crossed his legs and tucked his feet under his buttocks, indicating that he wouldn't get up no matter what, a stark contrast to his earlier provocation of Chen Shijun.

"Come on, come on! I'll take you somewhere deserted, I promise there won't be any problems."

Chen Shijun seemed to have guessed what the girl was thinking, and pushed her to change her clothes. His confident manner made it impossible for Yuan Ying to refuse.

"Hmph! If you laugh at me, I'll bite your neck."

Yuan Ying had no choice, after all, it was hard to refuse the other party's feelings, and besides, she really wanted to go outside for a stroll. As for the risk of being exposed, didn't Chen Shijun say there was no problem?

“I’m already thinking about retirement. Right now, I’m afraid of being caught wherever I go. I have absolutely no privacy.”

It's natural for celebrities to have no private space. This is a complex social phenomenon. The core of their profession is to gain opportunities through public attention, so giving up their right to privacy is an inevitable result.

Yuan Ying also agrees with this point. After all, you can't have it all. You can't have both exposure and your fans' right to privacy. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

"Get off the bus. Put your mask and hat on properly."

Chen Shijun opened the car door for her. There weren't many people around. In front of her was a three-story, plain white building with French lettering around the door and the words "Dream Workshop" written in Yanwen.

Xiao Yuan, holding onto the man's arm, cautiously entered the building, which seemed to be a hidden shoe salon.

The air inside the store was filled with the scent of leather and pine. The two glanced over the display shelves, where there were many beautiful wedding shoes and diamond-encrusted evening shoes, which looked very stylish.

Since these are custom-made shoes, measuring foot shape is an essential step. Won-young even felt that she should bring Ahn Yoo-jin with her when buying shoes in the future, so that she could avoid being too conspicuous.

"Can you move aside, oppa..."

A middle-aged woman in her forties took a set of tools and looked at the two people with a smile. Yuan Ying kept pushing Chen Shijun's back with her hands.

"Alright, alright, why are you being shy now?"

"This lady has a very unique foot shape."

The middle-aged woman seemed to be an award-winning craftswoman. Chen Shijun didn't know how prestigious the award was, but in any case, the craftsmanship fee was very expensive.

Kneeling on the ground, Chen Shijun lifted Yuan Ying's slender ankle and curiously peered inside. A strange smile immediately appeared on his face. It was clearly 250mm, but this girl insisted it was 245mm. An An, on the other hand, was very open and didn't hide her shoe size at all; she was much more honest in comparison.

Yuan Ying rarely showed his pained expression; he completely failed to control his emotions. At times like this, he wished he could kick Chen Shijun out.

"Sorry, my legs are a bit too long."

The craftsman, having seen many instances of Yuan Ying's embarrassment, naturally knew what to say to make things more palatable.

"Too long? Not at all. Miss, do you know that in ancient Greek sculptures, the ratio of a goddess's height to her foot length is exactly 1:7?"

Upon hearing the craftsman's words, Chen Shijun realized that his math skills were quite good. If the calculation was done this way, then the golden ratio would be 175 cm.

Xiao Yuan has grown quite a bit, now she's over 172cm and almost 173cm. Doesn't that mean she still has room to grow?

The thought of this younger sister and that big dog An is like a competition to grow taller, but both of them want to keep their height below 1.7 meters.

However, instead of using a mold to trace her foot shape as one might have imagined, they have moved with the times and used scanning to measure the foot's outline and generate the data.

Chen Shijun found it strange that an insole was made to look like a hospital insole, but he heard that the last was hand-carved and it might take a long time.

Yuan Ying was also selecting materials, and looking at the beautiful wedding shoes in the crystal cabinet, she couldn't help but show her longing.

Made of highly stretchy calfskin and elastic mesh, Yuan Ying chose a low-heeled shoe with a dark upper and even added her initials to the design, using cursive script as a unique logo.

Although he initially expressed reluctance to come, he was very enthusiastic once he arrived, constantly pointing and discussing the design with the shoemaker, adding a rivet here or an embellishment there.

Chen Shijun didn't seem impatient at all. He simply found a sofa and sat down, a gesture that seems to be common for men who accompany women shopping.

She used to bring Zhao Meiyan along, and later she brought Liu Zhimin along. It seems like they all have similar memories. But now that Mianmian is a big star and Xiao She is about to debut, such opportunities are probably not so common anymore.

"When I have some free time in a few months, shall we go on a trip abroad together? Nobody there will know me."

Xiao Yuan was impressed by the craftsman's professionalism, who said he had learned his skills in France, and made a request to Chen Shijun, even though the man thought the craftsman was bragging.

"Okay, okay! Just say you're going to Mars for fun, and I'll contact Musk too."

Perhaps it was because it was nighttime, or perhaps because there weren't many customers in this kind of shop to begin with, but Yuan Ying really liked this kind of private place.

Chen Shijun lay on the sofa, watching Zhao Meiyan pour out her longing for him, completely bewildered. He wondered what had gotten into her today, thinking about him and expressing her love for him so intensely.

"Alright, why do you make it sound like I'm going to abandon you? But don't talk about Yuan Ying in front of me again."

Chen Shijun was unaware that this guy had already been punished by his sister; the so-called "bullying" wasn't limited to within the team.

"I won't say anything, how dare I say anything! What if she strips me naked and then beats me up badly?"

Meiyan couldn't help but feel a little sad, and the thought of being bullied like this made her want to cry again.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How could Xiaoyuan do such a thing? She has always been a good child, kind-hearted, and has a very good temper."

Seeing this woman slandering Yuan Ying like this, Chen Shijun scratched his head, wondering how such a misunderstanding could have occurred. Had she seen some random stuff online?

Honestly, Mianmian-jie actually saw them, especially some of the unflattering pictures of Madoka with a sour face. She believed them all. After all, Madoka is the younger sister that even Sakura bullies. What else wouldn't she do?

There are different perspectives on the Sakura staged accident incident. From Meiyan's point of view, Yuanying is definitely a big bully, but Chen Shijun always thought that his sister was a pure white lotus.
