Chapter 32

As she spoke, she personally put the high heels on me.

To be honest, this was my first time wearing high heels. As soon as I stood up, I stumbled and almost fell.

My cousin quickly caught me, and I fell into her soft body. Her alluring fragrance instantly filled my nostrils, making my heart flutter.

“Now you know how tough it is to be a woman, right?” My cousin helped me up and said with a grin, “You’ll have to wear my high heels tonight until we get back.”

“All right.”

I could only nod in agreement.

“Let’s go to the bookstore then.” My cousin looked just like she did when she took me out to play when I was a child, with a happy expression on her face.

Along the way, passersby were curious about my high heels and kept glancing at me.

Many girls came up to greet my cousin, saying, “Miss, your boyfriend is so good to you.”

“Yes, I wish my boyfriend would be willing to swap shoes with me.”

And quite a few people were taking pictures of us with their phones. My cousin chuckled and said, “Yes, we need to let men know how hard we women work so they will know how to cherish women more.”

“Exactly, rather than buying shoes, I’d much rather my boyfriend carry me on his back or let me change into his shoes…”

I never expected that simply swapping shoes with my cousin would evoke so many people’s emotions.

My cousin smiled and waved to them, then took their arms and walked into the bookstore, her face filled with a satisfied and touched smile. I suddenly realized that sometimes women don’t ask for much; even a small thing can move them.

Although my feet aren’t big, squeezing into tiny high heels still makes my toes hurt, and I walk unsteadily.

No wonder some people say being a woman is tiring.

“Are you tired?” my cousin asked with a smile.

I nodded. “My feet hurt.”

“It’s good that it hurts.” My cousin took my arm and we walked into the bookstore. “We’ll find a place to rest later.”

As soon as I entered the bookstore, everyone, from the sales staff to the customers, looked on with curiosity and amusement when they saw my cousin helping me put on high heels, pointing and whispering all the time.

I steeled myself and went inside with my cousin. She slowly searched for books in the bookstore, smiling as she asked, “Xiao Zheng, how does it feel to wear high heels?”

“Sis,” I said helplessly, “I’ll carry you on my back next time.”

“That’s for next time.”

Suddenly, I felt a charming smile appear on my cousin’s face. She said, seemingly both shy and reproachful, “You promised me you’d wear my shoes tonight, so you’re mine tonight. Since you’re mine, you have to listen to me.”

I never expected my cousin to say that I belong to her.

Seeing her charming and shy appearance, I couldn’t help but feel a shiver run down my spine.

I glanced up and saw that my cousin’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes were sparkling, and she was looking at me with a gentle gaze. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making her look indescribably shy and charming.

Suddenly, my mouth went dry, and my heart was pounding like boiling water. Without realizing it, I took her hand and said, “Sister, I’ll do whatever you say.”

My cousin’s hands are so soft and smooth; once I hold them, I don’t want to let go. I really want to hold her hand like this for the rest of my life.

My cousin stared at me blankly for a moment, her eyes like water and mist, yet full of charm and allure, indescribably captivating. Then she let go of my hand and giggled, “Come on, let’s go choose some books.”

As he spoke, he took my hand and we continued browsing in the bookstore.

“Xiao Zheng, do you have any books you like?” My cousin took two books from the bookshelf and asked me with a smile, “Why don’t you buy a few too?”

“Sis, you can buy it.” I smiled helplessly. “I don’t really have any books I like to read, so you can buy them. I’ll keep you company.”

My cousin picked out a few books, then found a seat and said to me, “Go buy two drinks, I’m a little thirsty.”

I looked at the high heels I was wearing and was immediately at a loss for words.

“Go ahead, I’ll wait for you here.” My cousin’s eyes sparkled, and a charming smile appeared on her face. “Don’t keep me waiting too long.”

Just as I was about to go over, a couple, who looked to be in their thirties, walked towards where we were sitting.

The woman looked mature and charming, and the man also looked mature and steady.

As soon as she came over, the woman politely said to my cousin, “Little beauty, may I sit here?”

“Sure,” my cousin said politely.

“Thank you,” the man replied politely. I had initially thought he might do something to my cousin, but his gaze remained fixed on the woman beside him.

I walked over to my cousin, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, “Sis, I’ll go now. By the way, what would you like to drink?”

“I’ll have a milk tea.” My cousin turned to look at me, then reached out and smoothed her hair behind her ear. “I’ll wait for you to come back.”

Wearing high heels, I wobbled towards the drinks area.

I think it would be weird for anyone to see a grown man walking around in a bookstore wearing high heels. I’m even a little worried that he might become an internet celebrity because of it.

After buying the drinks, I rushed back to find my cousin.

“Little beauty, your boyfriend treats you really well.” The beautiful woman glanced at me, then smiled and continued to tell my cousin, “These days, to see if a man cherishes you, look at these details…”

The problems mentioned above will then become apparent.

My cousin blushed slightly, her gaze falling on me again, and she said shyly, “Actually, we…”

Before she could finish speaking, the man chimed in, “Yeah, even though I’m a man, I hate those smooth-talking men the most. You can tell if a man loves his woman by the details. So, girl, this guy is really good to you, you’d better hold on tight.”

“Uh…” I felt a little speechless, but I was actually quite happy to be mistaken for my cousin’s boyfriend.

The woman stood up and said with a smile, “We won’t disturb you two any longer.”

Then he glanced at me again and continued to smile, saying, “Young man, good luck, and may you win the heart of your beauty soon.”

She then stood up and walked away hand in hand with her man to another place.

My cousin held her milk tea, took a sip, and secretly glanced at me. Her eyes flickered, but she quickly lowered her head to look at the book on the table. Two blushes appeared on her pretty face, making my heart itch again.

I suddenly realized that the world is too far away for me to go. I have become completely enamored with the feeling of watching over my cousin. Just watching her quietly is like admiring a fairy in a painting. Perhaps this is why even the most peaceful life cannot compare to how good she is.

After a while, my cousin finally looked up at me, her lips parted slightly, and she softly asked, “Are you tired?”

“I’m not tired,” I said softly. “Now I realize how hard you’ve worked, sister.”

“Really?” My cousin giggled. “Then will you care about me more?”

“Of course.” I nodded firmly, thinking to myself, if I could, I would cherish you for the rest of my life.

My cousin stretched and said, “You said it yourself, so let’s go pay the bill and then continue shopping.”

The word “shopping” startled me so much that I stumbled.

After leaving the bookstore, my cousin actually took me to the night market, and I was wearing her high heels, which made me feel incredibly special.

It was almost nine o’clock at night, but the place was still bustling with people, strolling through the night market, doing business, and crowds of people, making the night market incredibly lively.

My cousin seemed very interested in these things. She held my hand tightly as we walked and looked around, her pretty face flushed with excitement.

As we were walking, my cousin suddenly stopped and stared blankly at an ice cream stall in front of her. Her eyes were fixed on the owner’s dazzling movements, and she gently bit her bright red lower lip with her white teeth, seemingly hesitant.

This is the legendary Turkish ice cream; the guy selling it had such dazzling moves.

It seemed my cousin was craving something sweet, so I went over and bought two, then handed one to her.

My cousin hesitated for a moment, her pretty face flushing slightly. “I was just looking, I wasn’t thinking about eating it, what if I gain weight?”

“How could that be?” I took a bite and said, “Actually, it’s quite delicious. You should try it.”

“Really?” My cousin opened her mouth and took a small bite, but she bit into the ice cream in my hand.

I was momentarily stunned, and in that instant, an indescribable sense of beauty surged from my hands into my mind.

“It’s pretty good.” My cousin tried it and couldn’t resist the temptation, so she ate the ice cream in her hand in small bites.

No wonder some people say that beauty is food for the eyes.

Watching my beautiful cousin eat is actually a kind of enjoyment.

I had just finished eating and thrown away the trash when my cousin suddenly grabbed my hand and said, “Wait a minute.”

I was immediately curious and was about to ask when my cousin took out a tissue from her handbag and gently wiped the ice cream off my lips.

Her movements were delicate and gentle, just like a wife’s towards her husband.

I glanced over and noticed that my cousin had some smudges on her chin and the corners of her mouth. So I took a wet wipe from her hand and gently wiped her face, as if she were a fine work of art, afraid that even a slight breath might damage it.

“Okay, let’s continue shopping.” My cousin naturally took my hand and we continued strolling through the night market. Whenever she saw something unusual, she couldn’t help but go up and take a look.

It took about an hour to explore the entire night market.

My cousin stopped in front of a vegetable stall, looking at the fruits and vegetables displayed on the shelves, and couldn’t help but say, “These vegetables are so fresh!”

“Yes, beautiful lady, these are all grown by ourselves. We bring them over as soon as they’re picked. Come on, buy some and put them in the fridge. You can still eat them tomorrow,” the vegetable vendor said with a smile.

My cousin glanced at me longingly, then smiled, shook her head, and left.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked at me. “Xiao Zheng, when we have time, how about we move to another place so we can cook for ourselves?”

“Okay.” I nodded firmly. “I promise you, we’ll find a place with a kitchen to live in later.”

“Then I’ll be waiting for your good news!” my cousin said happily, but after a moment, her expression turned somewhat somber. “What if you find a girlfriend…”

“Sis,” I looked into her eyes and said seriously, “I won’t get a girlfriend until you get one…”

“Silly child,” my cousin said with a laugh.

However, I saw tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, as clear and bright as pearls, which made my breath catch in my throat.

“Sister,” I murmured softly, but I couldn’t say the rest of the words.

My cousin nodded gently. “Xiao Zheng, you can do it, right? One of ours…”
