106 Swimsuit
"Hi, are you looking for swimwear?"
Mermaid & Moon.
This is the swimwear store that Ye Sheng highly recommends. It's located in Hyde Park, and the customers here generally fall into two categories. One type is the families of University of Chicago faculty and staff who come to buy vacation swimwear before winter. The other type is student couples, with the girl dragging the boy to pick out bikinis. The boy's eyes are practically glued to the girl's, though sometimes the unfortunate incident of him grabbing the wrong girl's eye happens.
The fall semester at the University of Chicago has ended, and Jennifer is working part-time as a saleswoman there. She has a lot of student loan pressure, and the fact that she can work in this high-end swimwear store shows that she is also very attractive and has a great presence.
But the two people who entered still amazed her. They stepped out of a silver Bugatti Veyron. The man was Asian, with rather long hair, and his skin was fair and beautiful, without a single blemish. Was this really the skin a man should have? Jennifer was stunned, feeling as if she had seen Dionysus.
Dionysus, the god of wine, is holding the hand of a little girl. The girl has platinum blonde hair, ice-blue eyes, an Eastern European face, skin as white as porcelain, and features so exquisite they seem unreal. Except for her breasts, her figure is otherworldly, like an adult woman shrunk to the size of a fourteen-year-old girl.
The two men stood in the doorway, the light streaming in and framing their figures like the cover of a top fashion magazine, exuding an air of extravagance. Jennifer's eyes narrowed; these two old money men had to be served well!
"We need swimwear for diving training," the boy said, speaking fluent English with a touch of Japanese accent, though he couldn't pronounce the "v" sound in "diving."
Diving training? Oh, a diving vacation. Here's the thing: University of Chicago students and faculty fly to the Caribbean in the winter to snorkel and see sea turtles, and come back with a tanned complexion. That's how people with time and money vacation.
"Of course! We have many styles suitable for water sports," Jennifer said with a professional smile. "Are you planning a warm vacation somewhere? Cancun? Or the Bahamas?"
"It's training, diving training," the boy said.
Oh? Extreme sports, like Red Bull? Jennifer's attention was drawn to the boy; he was incredibly handsome—no, handsome was too much, he was beautiful. His moonlit skin had a delicate texture that made you want to protect it. If he got a honey tan on the beach, with that facial contour and that height—
Jennifer lowered her head, pretending to tidy up the shelves, trying to suppress the heat on her face. While flirting with customers wasn't allowed during work hours, she could write her number on the receipt.
The Little Mermaid and the Moon. This shop has finally found its true customers.

Lu Mingfei was in a real bind. He was having a great time playing King of Fighters when Zero suddenly called to ask if he had prepared a swimsuit. Swimsuit? What swimsuit? Swimming in the dead of winter? Lu Mingfei subtly indicated that he didn't want to swim, and that Zero could ask Aki for company. Aki was very idle at the archives, and all her energy was focused on Ye Sheng, cooking for him every day and exhausting him.
Zero reminded him that while he was on vacation in Kassel, the people from Operation Bronze would be conducting underwater training, which was starting the next day.
Lu Mingfei then remembered this matter and hurriedly asked Ling if she had already prepared his swimsuit, since she had measured her size.
"Did you measure your size?" Fingel interjected after hearing this. "What size? How were you measured?"
"I can't be bothered with you." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes at Fingel and made an appointment with Zero to go to downtown Chicago to buy swimsuits.
Finger's creativity and imagination are boundless. He is currently serializing a fan fiction novel featuring Lu Mingfei as the protagonist, so he doesn't miss any information related to himself.
This novel has a high barrier to entry; you must pay to read it, and promotion is strictly prohibited. Only Fingel himself knows exactly how many people are paying to read it, but judging from his occasional chuckles, quite a few are probably reading it.
As Lu Mingfei passed behind him, he caught glimpses of some of the scene.
It is said that at the Kassel Dragon Knight Academy, there was a melancholic and beautiful girl named Lu Mingfei who was taken captive by Prince Romanov of Lucia. In order to save her from the control of the domineering prince, her two former rivals—Princess Catherine of the Roman Empire and the mysterious girl Chu Zihang from the East—began to cooperate in order to fight against Prince Romanov.
Recently, Fingel wrote a key plot point that revealed the foreshadowing: the Kassel Dragon Knight Academy not only houses dragon knight students, but also real dragons disguised as humans. If students can discover the disguised dragons and establish a bond with them beforehand, they can become powerful dragon knights faster!
And Lu Mingfei is actually the strongest dragon king who has lost her memory! Only the red-haired wizard who deeply loves her knows this...
"Dragon Rider Girl Gets Ride" is currently being serialized on Tangtang!
Internal publication, distribution prohibited!

Men buy clothes like they go to the toilet: they have a clear purpose and move incredibly fast. Unless they want to return the item, they never hesitate.
Lu Mingfei picked out a suitable size, declined the suggestion to try it on, and turned to look at the women's clothing section. Ling was standing in front of a display wall full of one-piece swimsuits, checking the fabric composition on the tags one by one.
The real torment begins here.
"How about this one?" Zero, wearing the smallest size dark blue onesie, twirled in front of Lu Mingfei. The swimsuit made her legs look very long.
Jennifer noticed that Zero was wearing a high-end model from the adult training section, and she bent down and said kindly, "Excuse me, sweetie."
"It's too early for a middle school student to wear this. The teen section is over there; they have lots of styles that would suit you, including some new arrivals for young girls—"
Ling stopped and slowly turned her head.
"She's eighteen," Lu Mingfei quickly added.
"Oh! I'm so sorry, you look too young." Jennifer laughed awkwardly. "Actually, it's quite normal for girls to wear these kinds of swimsuits nowadays."
"I think this suits you very well," Lu Mingfei said, pointing to a professional one-piece wetsuit.
Zero walked over, stood on tiptoe, and reached out to touch the swimsuit next to the one-piece wetsuit.
"Is this lady a child star?" Jennifer asked quietly.
"No," Lu Mingfei smiled, "she's just an ordinary college student."
Lu Mingfei's smile dazzled Jennifer. Her mind went blank, and she was suddenly moved. "My God, this god-like man actually smiled at me! He's so kind!"
"I'm asking you what you think of this one!" Zero said casually.
She was wearing a light white gold swimsuit with a neckline that plunged to the middle of her sternum. The fabric had a slightly transparent feel, and under the light, the outline of the lining could be vaguely seen.
"Ah...good, excellent!" Lu Mingfei gave a thumbs up. "My judgment was indeed correct!"
Although Lu Mingfei chose the fully enclosed one-piece wetsuit.
The swimsuit was quickly packed, and she picked up the paper bag and walked to the door to wait. She squinted slightly, looking at the bustling traffic outside the glass door. The winter sun shone on her platinum blonde hair, giving it a halo. Ignoring her somewhat misleading figure, she really did look like a college girl in an idol drama waiting for her boyfriend to pay the bill.
After signing the order and taking the receipt, Lu Mingfei walked over to her and said, "Since we've come all this way, how about we go for a walk around the neighborhood? Ye Sheng told me before that there's a really nice Japanese garden nearby."
"I'll listen to you," Zero said.
