Chapter 55
Air Defense Man
This was too strange. Sothing had to be wrong.
She could basically fit her entire hand through the gap under the bra.
How could it be this loose……?
Could it be that sowhere in the whole process, she had done sothing wrong?
Lin Ying quickly went over everything she had done in her mind.
From asuring her bust to picking out the clothes, there had only been two steps in total. Even if there had been slight errors in each step, they should not have been magnified to this extent.
The two small hands tucked beneath the soft fabric helplessly patted her chest.
.
After trying to asure her bust again, the result she got was about the sa as before, and it still did not help solve the problem at all.
……Damn it, if only she had a smartphone with internet access at a ti like this. She could have gotten the answer with a quick Baidu search.
She could not help but make a resolution then and there: when she had ti, she would definitely get a black-market SIM card and try to bring internet access to the village, to see whether she could squeeze a bit more use out of that phone that still had not been sold.
But that was all for later.
A distant source could not quench an imdiate thirst.
.
With the clothes set aside, the girl sat on the stool, hugging her smooth bare body as she drifted off in thought.
She felt that, given the current situation, she probably could not handle it on her own.
After thinking it over, she gritted her teeth and stood up anyway. Pulling open a slit beside the curtain, she secretly peeked outside.
No new custors had co in. The only person in the shop was still the landlady.
Since she could not solve it herself, she could only ask soone else for help.
She turned back, put on the clothes she had set aside, then walked out carrying the asuring tape and the bra.
When she reached the cashier counter, she greeted politely.
“Hello, sorry to bother you.”
“Oh, done already?”
The landlady looked at the asuring tape in her hand.
“Uh, not exactly done……”
Lin Ying did not quite know how to begin.
“What now?” the auntie asked.
Her tone seed to carry a faint trace of impatience.
That made Lin Ying lower her head a little awkwardly.
“Well, may I ask how a bra is supposed to be selected?”
The auntie did not understand at first.
“What did you say?”
“The bra,” Lin Ying said, gesturing in front of her chest with both hands. “Or a brassiere, undershirt, whatever it is called does not matter. How is the size for this supposed to be chosen?”
“Oh, you ant a bra.”
The other party finally understood what the girl in front of her ant.
“So, what size do you usually wear?”
“I…… um, this, I have not worn one before. This is my first ti buying one……”
Lin Ying said in embarrassnt.
When she said that, she could not help wanting to find a hole in the ground and crawl into it. There was already a two-bedroom apartnt under her feet anyway.
She did not know why, but in any case, it was just very embarrassing.
So by the ti she finally finished speaking, the girl had lowered her head so much that her eyes could no longer be seen.
And after hearing that, the auntie finally understood. So this little girl was buying a bra for the first ti?
She had never bought a little undershirt or anything like that before? There were not many girls like that anymore.
But youth really was wonderful.
She revealed the smile of soone who had been through it before, locked her phone screen, and set it aside.
“Then let help you?”
“Mm, please and thank you.”
Lin Ying nodded in thanks, then watched as the auntie got up from the recliner, slipped her feet into the slippers on the floor, and ca out from behind the counter.
“Co here.”
The other party said that and walked toward the underwear section, and the girl hurriedly followed behind her obediently.
The auntie was wearing an old fleece-lined set of pajamas that looked very warm.
Following behind her, Lin Ying could not help thinking that.
After the landlady stopped, she pointed at the clothes on the rack. “You are planning to buy a bra, right? First, let’s see what cup size you should be wearing.”
“I don’t know.”
Lin Ying answered instantly.
“?”
The other party looked puzzled.
The girl quickly explained, “Sorry, I don’t know what my size is……”
“Then what were you borrowing the asuring tape for just now?”
The landlady looked completely unable to understand.
“I was…… trying to asure myself first……”
“You don’t know how to asure?”
The other party’s sharp eyes imdiately saw through the girl’s embarrassnt.
“Mm……”
Lin Ying nodded and admitted to the overconfidence she had shown a few minutes earlier.
It was all because she had raised too many flags just now.
Sigh, life was not easy.
“Sigh, co here then. I’ll asure your bust first.”
The landlady also sighed, picked up the asuring tape that had been left on the counter, and led her back to the fitting room at the other end.
.
Because the fitting room was rather small, only Lin Ying went inside and stood in front of the mirror.
As for the landlady, after considering that soone might push the door open and co in, she first walked over and locked the front door, then flipped the little wooden sign hanging on it as well, changing the business status to “Resting”.
“Take it off. What are you waiting for?”
She turned her head and glanced at Lin Ying as she spoke.
Although taking off her clothes in front of soone else still felt a little embarrassing, Lin Ying could only obediently take off the sweatshirt she was wearing on the outside, revealing the T-shirt underneath.
“Keep going. What’s wrong?”
The landlady looked at Lin Ying, who had stopped moving, and asked.
“……There aren’t any clothes underneath.”
She looked at the floor and spoke softly.
The curtain of the fitting room was not drawn at the mont. Although people on the road outside the store would not be able to see where she was, this was still out in the open, after all, so stripping completely bare still felt a little……
After hearing that, the auntie could not help laughing.
“Hey, we’re both won. What are you, a little kid, so shy for? It’s not like I’m going to take advantage of you.”
Even so, while she spoke, her hands quickly picked up the asuring tape at the side.
“Forget it, this works too. A tiny difference does not matter.”
She probably did not quite get the point of young people’s shyness. She simply swept her hands in from the sides and wrapped the asuring tape around Lin Ying’s chest in a circle.
“Hey, don’t move.”
Lin Ying had just reflexively started to move her arms when the other party stopped her.
“Alright, relax, keep your breathing steady.”
The asuring tape happened to pass right over the little hill where her cherry trees were planted, and the feeling of soone touching that sensitive spot felt strange.
“Seventy-eight. Alright, next I’ll asure your underbust.”
The landlady skillfully read off the number, then moved the asuring tape slightly lower.
Oh, oh! So this was the power of a professional.
Watching the other party’s smooth and practiced movents, Lin Ying did not dare breathe too loudly, and could only watch as the asuring tape flew up and down.
After circling around the base of her chest once, the landlady pinched the asuring tape tight and muttered to herself,
“Seventy. You’re really skinny. How old are you?”
“Mm?”
Lin Ying failed to keep up with the question for a mont.
“I’m asking you, little girl, how old are you?”
Ah, that really was a good question. Lin Ying also wanted to ask herself just how old she was.
“So could the answer be two weeks?”
She complained in her heart, but when she actually answered, she was still perfectly well-behaved.
“I’m fifteen.”
Lin Ying answered while watching what the other party was doing.
In her mory, the girls around her in the third year of middle school and in high school had roughly been built like this, so that was the setting she gave herself as well.
“Mm, it’s normal to be a little skinny at that age. Don’t worry, you’ll still grow in the future.”
The landlady nodded and patted her on the back. “Hurry and put your outer layer back on first. Don’t catch a cold.”
“Mm, thank you for helping .”
The girl nodded in thanks and quickly put the sweatshirt at the side back on.
“Do you want to help asure your waist and the like too?”
Looking at the girl’s slender waist, the auntie asked.
.
After thinking it over, Lin Ying still shook her head and declined the other party’s kindness.
“No need, thank you. I only wanted to buy a bra today.”
Anyway, she could buy cheap clothes for everything else from street stalls. As long as they were more or less the right fit, that was enough. She was not that particular about it.
And the other party did not an any harm. If anything, she could feel a faint concern coming from her, and it felt warm, slightly easing the embarrassnt that had lingered in her heart this whole ti.
But there were still things she did not understand and needed the other party to explain.
“Excuse , with these asurents, what size should I buy?”
After smoothing down her ssy hair, she asked the landlady.
“A 32, or a 70.”
“?”
She did not really understand.
“Sorry, I……”
“Ah, if you don’t know, then how about I explain it to you a little?”
The auntie sat down nearby and reached out to scratch the flesh at her waist.
“Mm, thank you for the trouble.”
The girl sat down obediently on the other side and listened seriously.
“Then I’ll explain sizing to you first,” the landlady said.
“Simply put, if you’re using the international sizing standard, then whatever your underbust asurent is, you buy the nearest size to that. The size intervals are five centiters. For example, if your underbust is 76, then you buy a 75.”
“As for the cup size, first you asure the overbust around the BP point (Note 1), and then however much it differs from the underbust indicates your cup size.”
The auntie picked up the cup beside her, took a sip of water, and glanced at Lin Ying’s chest.
“For yours, since it’s less than ten centiters, that makes it an A
Cup, or you could also count it as AA.”
Who would have thought that the auntie at a roadside shop would actually be so knowledgeable? When she spoke, she even used quite a few technical terms. One really could not judge a person by appearance.
Lin Ying’s opinion of her rose.
But compared to that……
She lowered her head and gently touched her chest.
AA?
An AA person?
A flat A?
Anti-aircraft weaponry? (Note 2)
So this was the legendary “With an A, can’t even afford it”?
She had never thought she would grow into the shape of a from her previous life.
That left her feeling sowhat conflicted.
Although, from her own standpoint, she did not really care that much about the thickness of the pair of biological reactive armor made of fat on her chest……
If anything, being smaller ant the ligants and muscles could keep things under control more easily. They would not jiggle much when she ran or jumped either, so stability during exercise was excellent.
And for ordinary people, the chance of developing breast cancer would also be lower, and sagging would not be as serious in the future……
Besides, it was not as if this was sothing ant to be shown to others, or let others touch……
If only she herself could enjoy the feel of them, then shouldn’t it not matter what they looked like?
……
But……
What was this strange, indescribable feeling then?
The mont she heard the two letters “AA”, she felt a peculiar sense of disappointnt.
That term felt as though soone were pointing at her and mocking her for being “so small” and “so flat”.
And as a transmigrator, she originally had not cared that much about this sort of thing.
After all, as soone who was not purely just a girl, and not purely just a human either, she definitely was not supposed to care about this kind of judgnt the way ordinary people did.
But how should she put it?
It was like a feeling of being less attractive than others.
Or like a person who had been fat from birth being mocked right to their face by a thin person, or a short person being mocked by a tall person.
Or, if she absolutely had to use a simpler taphor—
Forget reincarnating into a girl. Even if you reincarnated as so overpowered male protagonist, the kind who was dashing, open-hearted, imnsely strong, and absurdly invincible—
But then you discovered that you were small.
Small……
Small.
And not only that, but after a rigorous asurent, the store clerk told you:
“Hello, according to international standards,
you have been identified as small.”
……
This……
When you had just beaten a villain in front of everyone and were striding away coolly, and suddenly a voice ca from the crowd beside you: “I heard he’s small.”
When you were soaking in a hot spring with your best bro, and he laughed awkwardly and said, “Looks really can be deceiving after all.”
Even if you knew you were holding the script of a male protagonist, a lot of people would probably still end up choking on their frustration over sothing like that.
Put that way, did it beco much easier to understand?
They were all sexual characteristics anyway. Although the body parts were not completely equivalent, they could still be substituted a little for the sake of understanding. That was the general idea.
—That inexplicable feeling of having “lost.”
