As soon as Li Ying got home, she flopped onto the lounge chair like she gave zero fucks about ladylike behavior. She kicked off her shoes, used her toes to peel off her long socks, then unfastened her corset in one swoop. With her fan waving and her complaints on full blast, she managed to complete the whole transformation from "studious schoolgirl" to "pajama bum" in ten seconds flat—Qian Yuya hadn't even finished closing the door yet.
Kui Nianruo, never one to miss out, copied her move and undid her own chest band too. At first she'd been all shy, even giving Li Ying this look of disdain, but after she tried it once—damn, she was hooked.
