Chapter 6

"Feeling okay?" Lily sized up Katherine, noticing that the dress originally prepared for Ada looked surprisingly good on Katherine.

"A bit... uncomfortable..."

Although Katherine wasn't as tall as Ada, her legs were a bit longer, so the newly tailored dress revealed more of her legs.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that, to achieve the desired effect, they had taken off Katherine's tights and the practice clothes she wore as undergarments. In other words, Katherine was now in a state of complete nudity...

"So, Katherine—" Lily suddenly leaned in close to her ear, "remember to wear underwear next time, okay~"

"..."

Katherine felt her heart pounding. At that moment, she felt an endless void down below, as if something was missing.

"Let's take a few photos of Kate!" Ada, who had already changed back into her own clothes, suddenly suggested.

"Wait, it's just a preliminary design. We still need to make a few minor adjustments. It should be ready by tomorrow. Let's try it again then!"

Katherine let out a sigh of relief; Lisa had come to her rescue.

"Maybe we can add slits on both sides," Jenny, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

"Really?" Lisa looked at Katherine's face and then at the dress. "If we do that, it would be more suitable for Ada, but for Kate, it might be better to wait a couple of years."

No matter what, Katherine had managed to escape this ordeal. When she returned to the dorm, she took a shower and put on her underwear.

"Kate, I think you should wear more attractive underwear. Wouldn't that be better?" Lily looked at Katherine, who was wearing a nightgown, and asked.

Indeed, Katherine's underwear was quite "childish." On one hand, she was lazy about choosing, and on the other, the thought of wearing sexy clothes made her feel guilty.

"Besides, why don't you wear something like a bra or a cute top?"

"I haven't started developing yet." Katherine lay down on the bed.

"You're almost there. I think it's best to be prepared in advance."

"Maybe."

Katherine flopped onto the bed and closed her eyes.

"Good night, Kate."

"Good night, Lily."

The lights were turned off.

But that night, Katherine couldn't fall asleep. Her mind was filled with the events of the afternoon. Even though she was now wearing underwear, she still felt an emptiness down below.

She felt as if she were in the depths of the ocean, under immense pressure. To relieve this pressure, she began to rub her legs, trying to drive the feeling out of her mind.

As she rubbed her legs, a strange sensation began to rise from her lower abdomen. Her breathing became rapid, and her body started to heat up, but she tightly wrapped herself in the blanket.

Katherine felt as if she had grown wings and was slowly ascending.

A gentle breeze brushed against her face, and the pressure seemed to be released in an instant. The comfort was so intense that she couldn't help but moan.

The wings seemed to flap faster, and she gradually ascended into the clouds.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to disappear, and her mind was blank. This feeling was something she had never experienced before, in this life or the previous one.

She broke through the clouds and saw the newly risen sun. The sunlight was so brilliant, and it felt so comforting on her skin...

Katherine quietly got out of bed and changed her underwear, which felt as if she had wet herself, before returning to bed. This time, her mind was completely free of any distress.

In a daze, she didn't notice that the sounds she made had woken up Lily, who was sleeping on the opposite bed. Lily watched Katherine with interest but didn't disturb her.

Katherine finally fell into a deep sleep, feeling an infinite sense of happiness that night.

The next morning, Lily woke her up. Looking at Lily's half-smiling face, Katherine felt a bit guilty.

Throughout the morning, Katherine couldn't focus on her classes. She kept thinking about that strange sensation. Every time she sat down, she couldn't stop rubbing her legs, trying to find that feeling again.

It wasn't until after lunch that she gradually came to her senses.

But in the afternoon, she still couldn't concentrate on her classes because her mind was preoccupied with thoughts about the mini skirt.

The more she thought about it, the more she believed her plan was feasible.

So, after the gymnastics club practice ended, her first words to the fashion club were: "I think we can start a fashion design company and market our new skirt. Girls, imagine how wonderful it would be if everyone loved our design and it became a trend that lasted a hundred years!"

"That sounds great." Lisa, who was trying on the newly made mini skirt, immediately perked up at Katherine's words.

This might seem a bit unrealistic in China, but in America, it was quite common.

"But how do we do it?"

"Maybe we should ask the teacher?"

Several people started discussing the idea.

After inventing the mini skirt, they were like explorers discovering a new continent, pouring 120% of their enthusiasm into the project.

"Maybe we should look for venture capital? You know, it's very popular these days."

"No, we should start our own business. Maybe we should find a man? After all, there are some things we find inconvenient, and we don't know how to manage a company. We need someone experienced to help us."

"Girls, maybe we can try out our new skirt and take some good photos?" Lily raised her camera.

"Sure, I can't wait." Ada said excitedly, then turned to look at Katherine: "Kate, why don't you try it on too? This time, it's the finished version!"

Oh no, why is it coming back to me again?

Katherine opened her mouth to say something but didn't manage to speak.

The only thing she could be grateful for was that, after the last incident, she had learned her lesson. After practice, she changed back into her original clothes instead of just wearing an outer garment for convenience.

"This time, I made some improvements. I think we should choose stockings to go with it."

Lisa took out a pair of black stockings.

Stockings were different from tights, especially in texture. Although Katherine had worn tights before, they were made of cotton, while stockings were made of nylon, which she had never worn before.
