56: What Is the Real You Like
"These people are looking at me, right? They're definitely looking at me, right?"
On the bustling street, two girls walked side by side. The smaller one was currently gripping tightly onto the slightly taller girl's clothes, her eyes full of fear toward the crowd.
Behind the two, followed a beautiful girl dressed in a maid outfit, holding hands with another girl. Both had expressions as if they'd seen ghosts.
There was no helping it—this version of Leticia really overturned their mental image of her. Xue'er and Bai Ya truly hadn't thought Leticia could be shy to this extent.
She didn't even want her dignity anymore, basically shrinking behind Bai Ling's body.
"The more you act like this, the more people will notice you." Bai Ling frowned and said, "Be more natural, and they won't pay attention to you."
"Don't believe it." Leticia shook her head repeatedly.
She was currently wearing that very cool outfit, very suitable for this kind of weather.
She had also tried on the other two sets, reaching the conclusion that Bai Ling's money hadn't been spent in the wrong place. Whether in material or style, they were all better than the clothes Leticia used to wear.
They were very comfortable to wear, even giving Leticia the desire to not want to take them off.
After changing back and forth through several outfits, the sky gradually darkened.
Bai Ling had only changed about half her clothes at that point. It wasn't that she cared about time—the main reason was that she was hungry.
But because Bai Ya and Xue'er had spent the entire afternoon sitting in the living room watching Leticia and Bai Ling's fashion show, no one had prepared dinner today.
"How about we go eat outside?" So Bai Ya suggested. "We can wear the new clothes out."
Bai Ling expressed agreement with this suggestion, and Xue'er was indifferent.
Only Leticia showed extremely strong resistance.
At that time, Leticia had already changed back into the first outfit she'd tried on—the one she was wearing now—because she felt these clothes were indeed more comfortable than her previous ones.
Leticia was this kind of person. For a bit more comfort, wearing these clothes at home was relatively unimportant to her.
But to have her wear these clothes outside?
Good heavens, it would be better to just kill her.
"You don't need to be so shy. Trust me, people won't notice you." That's how Bai Ling had done Leticia's ideological work then. "I should be more eye-catching than you."
Although it felt like Bai Ling was showing off that she was more charming than herself, Leticia at that time had no mood to argue.
Because at that time, she really hoped from the bottom of her heart that what Bai Ling said was true.
"Xue'er, let's go home and eat?" Leticia still wanted to make one last effort.
Xue'er guiltily looked away: "Your Maj... Miss, you really should work on this fear of people."
Just like that, Leticia was dragged and pulled out of the room by three people.
As soon as she walked onto the street and saw the people on the street, Leticia immediately became the current picture of a delicate bird depending on people.
"Su Qianqian, what do you want to eat? There are quite a lot of restaurants near our house." Bai Ya reached out and poked Leticia's white and tender slender waist.
This made the already sensitive Leticia let out a small cry of surprise. She turned back to look at Bai Ya with eyes full of resentment and said: "The closer the better."
The corners of Bai Ya's mouth twitched involuntarily a few times. This version of Su Qianqian really gave people a very wonderful feeling.
She actually wanted to be looked at a few more times by Su Qianqian with this kind of gaze. How strange.
"Little Ya, hurry up and lead the way." Bai Ling also turned back to speak to her sister who was spacing out. "If we delay any longer, her face will be hot enough to fry eggs."
"Hey, is this my fault?!" Leticia was displeased. Through Bai Ling's thin clothes, she grabbed the soft flesh at the girl's waist.
Bai Ling's face also showed a blush. She quickly slapped away Leticia's dishonest little hand. "Don't mess around."
In terms of body sensitivity, this young lady was no slouch either.
"Hah, it feels like even more people are looking our way."
"That's your problem this time." Bai Ling indicated this time it wasn't her fault.
If Leticia had been more well-behaved, she wouldn't have been so eye-catching.
Now two super beautiful girls were fooling around on the street—how could this not be eye-catching?
"Sister, Su Qianqian, let's go eat steak." Bai Ya chose a restaurant. "It's about a five-minute walk."
She wasn't sure what Su Qianqian and Xue'er liked to eat, so choosing this kind of more mainstream restaurant was more appropriate.
There couldn't be anyone who didn't like eating steak, right?
Anyway, when they ate together last time, Su Qianqian ate quite happily, so she probably didn't dislike steak.
Sure enough, after hearing Bai Ya's choice, Leticia readily expressed agreement.
"Great, let's go quickly."
Since Leticia agreed, Bai Ling and Xue'er naturally had no objections.
The latter two had no requirements about food. Bai Ling just needed sufficient quantity, and Xue'er was even simpler—as long as it was edible.
"Alright, we'll go this way." Bai Ya walked in front of her sister and Leticia, beginning to lead the way for them.
Walking along, Leticia's rapidly beating little heart gradually calmed down. Although those gazes directed at her still made her somewhat afraid, at least she wouldn't shrink behind Bai Ling like just now.
"How did you become Demon King when you're this afraid of people?" Bai Ling asked quietly.
After these few days of interaction, she really had great doubts about Leticia being the Demon King.
Normally, Leticia was just an extremely tsundere shut-in girl who would never stand if she could lie down, and would absolutely never go out unless necessary.
Her social skills were basically zero, but online she was quite eloquent.
This fit very well with the characteristics of contemporary otaku that Bai Ling had looked up on search engines. It could even be said that Leticia perfectly fit the image of a shut-in girl.
Such a girl could be any identity, but no matter how you thought about it, she couldn't possibly be the Demon King.
The Demon King—that was the monarch of the demon race, a leader like the emperors of ancient human times. She shouldn't be like Leticia.
Bai Ling even felt that the Leticia she had fought before and the current Leticia were two different people. They looked exactly the same, but their inner selves were vastly different.
One was a perfect and flawless monarch, the other was a sloppy girl. Bai Ling really couldn't connect these two images.
But Leticia was such a miraculous existence—she really could manage to have two faces.
Bai Ling couldn't help but wonder: which Leticia was the real Leticia?
