"The quilt is too big, and also very rough. Little kitty, you better use this instead, just took it off!" Jeanne finished speaking, then gently closed the door.
At this time, Aiden grabbed the soft cloth strip that had fallen onto his face, which carried Jeanne's body fragrance. He turned on the bedside lamp on the nightstand and took a look, and was instantly stunned.
It was actually a pair of hollow lace panties...
———
Aiden didn't know what time he fell asleep last night either. Anyway, by the time he woke up, the sky outside was already fully bright.
He sat up from the bed, rubbed his still not fully opened eyes, and glanced at the hollow lace panties tossed on the nightstand, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
Of course, he didn't use those panties to do anything last night. The reason he didn't know what time he fell asleep was because after Jeanne left, those two guys appeared in his mind again, and continued arguing.
"Although I can be certain They have no malice toward me, pulling this kind of thing from time to time, even if I were made of iron, I couldn't take it!"
Aiden muttered in complaint, then yawned again, only then getting out of bed to get dressed and leave the bedroom.
Yawning as he walked toward the living room, Aiden saw Jeanne in the open kitchen, fiddling with the cookware.
As a witch who had been single for hundreds of years, even without deliberately learning, she'd naturally have a few dishes she was good at.
"Heavens, you're finally awake. Getting up at this hour, I'm starting to wonder if you wore yourself out last night." Jeanne carefully flipped the fried egg in the frying pan, then turned to look at Aiden who was leaning on the dining table and still yawning.
The silver-haired witch continued, "Toothpaste and toothbrush are ready. Little kitty, go brush your teeth first. Mm, just use my towel to wash your face, then we can start eating."
"Jeanne, don't call me little kitty. It sounds really unpleasant. Just call me Aiden." At this moment, Aiden finally realized what was wrong with Jeanne's way of addressing him, and said with visible displeasure.
Jeanne pouted and said a bit unwillingly, "Then I still need to give you a pet name. If little kitty won't do, how about going back to Cheshire Cat?"
Aiden couldn't be bothered to respond and turned to walk toward the bathroom.
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Aiden came out of the bathroom feeling much more refreshed. He sat at the dining table, and when he saw the delicate breakfast in front of him, he was quite surprised and looked at Jeanne across the table.
"Not bad cooking skills," he praised.
Though he hadn't tasted it yet, the presentation was very nice, compared to maid-chief Roberta, it was far superior in sensory appeal.
Jeanne, having received the compliment, smiled joyfully, thinking to herself that living single for hundreds of years did have its advantages.
Then she looked at Aiden, who had already started eating, and said, "After breakfast, let's go shopping."
"You're not going to school?" Aiden asked.
"I don't have class today," Jeanne replied. "Besides, going shopping together can strengthen the relationship between us, that's way more important than class."
"So actually, you do have class today, don't you?"
However, Jeanne raised her head and looked at the ceiling.
After breakfast, Jeanne returned to her room to get dressed up, leaving the task of washing dishes, the wrap-up work, to Aiden.
Aiden had no objection to this. Jeanne cooked, he washed dishes, that was fair. If you kept one-sidedly accepting the other person's kindness, then you were just a lousy person.
Speaking of which, if there's anything that takes longer than a woman bathing, it must be the time women spend getting dressed up. Any beauty-loving woman is like this.
So even after Aiden finished washing dishes, and even mopped the floor, the silver-haired witch still hadn't come out of her room.
During that time, Aiden snuck a peek and saw that she was still standing in front of the full-length mirror trying on outfits nonstop. As for that flawless face that didn't even need makeup, it hadn't been touched at all.
Thus, Aiden could only sit down in the living room and turn on the TV. He estimated it would take at least thirty minutes, maybe longer.
In fact, Jeanne had already treated this outing as their first date. Wanting to make herself more perfect, she simply pulled out all the clothes she thought looked good and tried them on one by one, without getting tired of it.
Finally, after nearly half an hour of trying, Jeanne found a white dress she was very satisfied with. She felt this dress could soften her overly strong height and facial lines, so as not to put too much pressure on Aiden.
Actually, what she preferred was another red, high-slit, backless evening gown, but wearing evening attire to go shopping was clearly too over-the-top. After all, this was Europe, not Florida.
After changing into her clothes, Jeanne finally began doing her makeup. The witch had a lot of expertise with makeup and knew exactly what kind of look matched what kind of outfit. That's why she only started putting on makeup after choosing her outfit.
So, another dozen minutes passed.
By now, Aiden had already finished watching the city's morning news, and even watched the weather forecast.
His biggest takeaway was that today would be great weather all day. The downside was that pollen levels in the air might be high, and citizens allergic to pollen should be cautious when going out.
'Too many people in Western countries are allergic to pollen. That time in Raccoon City, the weather forecast host said the same thing.' To kill boredom while waiting, Aiden began idly thinking to himself.
And just as this thought passed, he heard footsteps, Miss Witch had finally finished dressing up.
It had to be said, upon seeing the fully dressed-up Jeanne, even though he'd seen his fair share of beauties, Aiden's heart still skipped a beat. And he noticed that Jeanne now had a distinctly different aura from yesterday, still an elegant older-sister type, but much less imposing.
"How do I look?" Jeanne spun lightly in front of Aiden and asked.
"If it weren't already the 21st century, I'd think a noble lady from some house had appeared before me," Aiden praised.
Miss Witch smiled sweetly and said, "I don't know how things are in your country, but here in Europe, some countries and regions still have nobility, so, thank you for your compliment."
After saying this, Miss Witch gently lifted her skirt and gave Aiden a very proper curtsey.
Then, she picked up the parasol placed in the umbrella stand by the door and gracefully said to Aiden, "Sir, shall we depart?"
"I'll open the door for you, Miss Jeanne." Aiden walked to the door, put on his shoes, and opened the door for Jeanne.
The two then took the elevator down to the first floor. Just as they stepped out of the apartment building, Jeanne put on her sunglasses, which had been perched on her forehead, then proactively held onto Aiden's arm.
Speaking of which, although Aiden was from the central-southern region, he was quite tall. And after physical enhancements, he seemed to have grown a bit more, his height was already over 1.85 meters.
But compared to Jeanne, who had a net height of 1.8 meters and was wearing high heels, he still ended up being a few centimeters shorter.
Jeanne noticed this too, and said a bit frustrated, "These are already the lowest-heeled shoes I own."
High heels are the perfect match for women, and for witches, they can even be considered weapon-like accessories. So unless she was at home, she always wore heels wherever she went.
"I'll check back home later to see if I have any flats," Jeanne added.
"No need, just leave it like this. It's fine." Aiden shook his head, indicating not to bother.
"Aiden, you're so sweet. Here's your reward."
Jeanne was very pleased with Aiden's understanding nature, and gently lowered her head to kiss his forehead.
Feeling the softness of her red lips on his forehead, Aiden smiled and said, "I thought you'd kiss my lips instead."
Just as he finished speaking, Jeanne lowered her head even more and gently kissed him on the lips.
Seeing the outgoing and proactive Jeanne actually blush a little, Aiden didn't say something like "that's not enough", he just smiled and said, "Jeanne, you look really beautiful when you blush."
Miss Witch let out a light snort and didn't say anything, directly pulling Aiden along toward the street.
Wearing a dress and holding a white lace-trimmed parasol, of course she couldn't ride her flashy motorcycle anymore.
The apartment was on the other side of the city, but not in the suburbs. So even during rush hour, it wasn't hard to catch a taxi. Soon, one stopped in front of the two.
Looking at Miss Witch's noble-lady outfit, Aiden actually adapted to local customs for once, acting like a gentleman, he opened the car door for her. But since he wasn't the gentlemanly type at all, the gesture looked clumsy and awkward, causing Jeanne to giggle a few times uncontrollably.
"You don't need to do that, Aiden."
Jeanne was also very considerate.
Since Miss Witch said that, Aiden naturally didn't insist on pretending to be a gentleman, and casually got in the car himself.
Not long after, the taxi stopped outside a shopping mall in the city center.
After getting out, Jeanne once again took Aiden's arm, and the two walked into the mall together.
As a witch with an extremely strong shopping desire, Jeanne was very familiar with this mall. After entering, she led Aiden straight to the men's clothing floor.
Then, Aiden's face immediately fell.
He already didn't like shopping malls, and liked shopping even less. But right now, even though Jeanne was helping him buy men's clothes, her eyes were shining with excitement, constantly dragging him into one men's store after another.
Moreover, while shopping, Miss Witch's personality changed significantly, she became extremely picky. Anything she wasn't satisfied with, she'd pull Aiden away from immediately. So after a whole morning of shopping, they hadn't bought a single thing.
"Aiden, the morning was just scouting. The afternoon is when the real shopping begins."
Inside a restaurant by the street, Jeanne said this to a gloomy-faced Aiden while ordering dishes.
