Ceng Li has some really SAD moments and this whole chapter is practically just one whole derp moment. Her interactions with her bro tho are what I live for LOL. Thanks to Ely for editing another part of this (we complain about this so much because the MC is so crazy lol).

**********

I hastily ate some food, and then me and Cui'er changed into male clothing and slipped out of the residence. Before I left, I didn't forget to take two fans from Ceng Yan's room.

Cui'er brimmed with disdain at my actions, and rolled her eyes at me. "Miss, not everyone with a fan seems elegant!"

I used the fan to ruthlessly smack her on the head. "Please, can you not look down on my chest that continues to surge with every coming day? I'm taking the fan to cover my chest, okay?!" I stuck out my chest at her.

This was a really big bother. I didn't know if I had eaten too many steamed buns in the past year, but from the beginning of this year my chest had continued to swell with pain, as it continued to painfully grow, gradually becoming bigger and bigger... In the past, I could use white damask to bind my chest, and it wouldn't hurt, but now, as long as I wrapped the damask around my chest lightly, my heart wouldn't be in as much pain and distress as whenever I wanted to yell "Your sister" at Ceng Yan.

Actually, if I had never met Ceng Yan's second little sister, second sister Ceng, and I had not listened to her nonsense, perhaps my chest could still be content with being bound by the cloth.

It was all Ceng Yan, his sister's fault!

That day, I felt my chest was swollen, and I ran over to my mother to ask her what had happened. Mother said, "Li'er, don't get angry. Your chest's prosperous bulging is the luck that you have gained from the heavens. This type of luck doesn't come to just anyone! In the future, your... uh... will definitely like it very much!"

I asked, "What is ....?"

Mother's face actually blushed. "Your future, uh..."

I asked, "What are you talking about in my future?"

Mother feigned anger and said, "You child! How can you randomly ask about this? You really don't know how to be shy!"

I was rendered speechless.

How did I not know how to be shy? What had I asked about? From beginning to end, mother had been talking to herself and letting her imagination roam, alright...?

Later after I left my mother's place, I bumped into second sister Ceng. Thus I asked her, "Did your mother ever say this to you: Second sister, do not get angry. Your chest's prosperous bulging is the luck that you have gained from the heavens. This type of luck doesn't come to just anyone! In the future, your... uh... will definitely like it very much!"

Second sister Ceng looked askance at me cooly. "Are you trying to show off to me?"

I said, "I only want to know what it is."

Second sister said, "I don't know either; you can ask your mother."

I calmly told her, "My mother said: Li'er, do not get angry. Your chest's prosperous bulging is the luck that you have gained from the heavens. This type of luck doesn't come to just anyone! In the future, your... uh...something... will definitely like it very much!"

Second sister's eyes began to draw out into slits. "You're actually showing off!"

I was a little confused. "Is that good?"

Second sister hmphed. "Is it not?"

I suspiciously asked, "Really?"

Second sister rolled her eyes. "If you think they're bad then just squash them flat!"

I open-mindedly asked for advice. "How should I squish them?"

Second sister was annoyed. "Use your two hands to squash them!"

Thus, before I went to bed every night, I would concentrate on kneading my chest to and fro to squash it flat.

But who knew that a few months later, they seemed to get bigger...

On August 15th, I hadn't had time to make new clothes, so I wore my old clothes and went to the pavilion with the Ceng family to admire the moon.

That day, I ate very little and although my chest hurt, I held back my discomfort.

The next day, the special dressmaker came over.

While she was taking my measurements, I asked her, "Was it my mother who called you over?"

She shook her head. "No! It was the Master who ordered this subordinate to come!" While she measured my chest, she laughed. "The Master sure is attentive. It's time for Third Miss to change into some new clothes!"

After the woman left, I thought about it and felt I should go thank Ceng Yan. Thus, I went to go find him.

I said, "Thank you."

He asked me, "What are you thanking me for?"

I said, "You told the dressmaker to come over to make me new clothes."

He said, "Oh."

Then, silence.

Then, he said, "There's no need to thank me. I was just afraid that you would suffocate to death."

I was speechless.

I also became silent.

Then, I said, "Ceng Yan, your sister!"
