At the moment of parting, she glimpsed the two pairs of sheer black silk You Su had put down and curiously asked:
"Can these silk stockings... get wet?"
You Su, standing with his back to the Lotus Pool, momentarily held his breath:
"Of course they can; even if Master wears them in the water, it won't be a problem..."
Only after You Su had disappeared did He Shutong bring the shell and the stockings in front of her.
She hesitated for a moment and eventually decided to first take the stockings in her hand. They felt as light as mist, almost weightless.
Slowly unfolding them, her eyes first filled with amazement, then a hint of peculiar expression surfaced.
She compared the stockings in front of her flawless legs, only to immediately withdraw them with slightly reddened cheeks.
The stockings were indeed novel and exquisitely beautiful, no wonder they were so popular among women.
But didn't they find these stockings a bit alluring...
