RIACMET chapter 267

 

Cheng Jing brought Jiang Nian home as quickly as possible. Only after closing the door did he take the time to appreciate his shrunken lover.

He didn’t hide from his teammates and friends the fact that Jiang Nian had shrunk due to Qian Lang’s superpower.

After sending a group message to let everyone know, he asked Li Shuhui to help find small clothes, shoes, and socks.

After all, Li Shuhui was still a young girl. Since they moved, she had been collecting doll figurines and tiny accessories from all over, most of which were about the same size as Niannian.

After learning what the tiny clothes and accessories were for, Cheng Jing could practically feel the little girl’s excitement through the phone.

“Yes, yes, I have tons! I can make some myself, too. I have soft fabrics—I’ll bring them over later! Oh, and I have some palace-style Lolita skirts. They’d look amazing on Brother Jiang Nian!”

See? She was already talking nonsense from excitement. Cheng Jing held his forehead.

“Xiaohui, I want men’s clothes! Your Brother Jiang Nian is a guy!”

What on earth was going on in that little girl’s head?

“I know. Of course I have men’s clothes, too. But Brother Jiang Nian is so small now. If you told him to wear a skirt, he probably wouldn’t refuse. I have a maid outfit and white stockings, too! You’ll see when I bring them over. They look great! Hehehe…”

Li Shuhui spoke quickly. She would never have dared suggest something like that when Jiang Nian was tall and strong. But now that he’s shrunk, imagining how cute he’d look in those clothes is irresistible. A golden opportunity like this couldn’t be wasted.

Just then, Sister Qian messaged her and asked if she wanted to go together.

“…”

Cheng Jing looked at Jiang Nian’s soft, androgynous face and couldn’t help but picture it based on her description. He nodded as if possessed.

“All right, just bring them over.”

If Nian Nian didn’t like it, he didn’t have to wear it. He didn’t have a kink about making his boyfriend wear women’s clothing.

“…”

Right after hanging up on Li Shuhui, Huang Qian called.

“Hahaha…”

As soon as the call connected, a heroic laugh came through, followed by the woman’s fierce voice.

“Congratulations! You finally managed to carry your wife around in your pocket. You must be overjoyed right now, huh? Did you do anything weird?”

“Huang Qian! Did the zombie king eat your sense of elegance or what?”

Cheng Jing rolled his eyes and gently squeezed Jiang Nian’s tiny hand. He’d already put the ring away for now.

But Huang Qian wasn’t going to give him any face.

“Drop the act. Don’t you know what kind of pervert you are deep down? You’re a closet pervert when it comes to Xiao Nianzi! But don’t rush into full-blown pervert mode just yet. Wait for me to come teach you…”

“I’m not a pervert, thank you! Don’t come over. Bye.”

Having been misled by Li Shuhui once before, Cheng Jing wisely ended the call before she could say anything else and lead him further astray.

Afterward, he lay on the bed and stared at his sleeping lover. He couldn’t help himself—he leaned down and kissed him. His skin was super soft.

For some reason, he remembered a question he had seen online before the end of the world:

“What would you do if you ran into your childhood crush?”

Well, this was it—he gave him a kiss without hesitation. Even though mini Nian Nian was different from an ordinary child, he had achieved what his heart longed for.

Then, he stretched out his calloused fingertip and gently stroked Jiang Nian’s hair, face, lips, fingers, and toes.

Since his body had shrunk proportionally, everything about him felt tiny—so cute!

He wondered if Jiang Nian could still use his superpowers now that he was so small.

…

It was after six when Jiang Nian woke up. He already knew he’d shrunk before he passed out, so he wasn’t all that surprised.

The lights in the room were on, but Brother Jing wasn’t there. From the sound of it, though, he was in the kitchen making dinner.

Everything he saw now looked huge. It took him a moment to adjust before he climbed to the nightstand using his hands and feet and grabbed a small mirror to see what he looked like now:

Short arms and legs, soft and pretty; no defined abs; smooth. He looked down — wow, that was really small.

Still, he was kind of adorable. He had a big heart and didn’t care. Brother Jing would definitely like it, too.

No matter what form he took, Brother Jing would always like him.

When Cheng Jing opened the door, he saw someone standing naked in front of the mirror, pinching their face and body with tiny hands.

He looked like a little sticky rice dumpling that had come to life—it was impossible not to laugh.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Nian turned around, looking flustered. When he saw Cheng Jing, a big smile quickly spread across his face.

“Brother Jing, I…”

His childish voice startled even him. He quickly covered his mouth in embarrassment, his face turning red. A strange sense of shame washed over him.

But, come to think of it, his organs had shrunk, so the fact that he could talk at all was impressive. It would be weirder if his voice hadn’t changed.

“You’re awake. Do you feel unwell anywhere, Nian Nian?”

Cheng Jing tried to act as normal as possible as he walked over.

Jiang Nian quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped himself up, then shook his head.

“I don’t feel sick anywhere. I just feel lighter.”

Cheng Jing picked him up.

“Come on, let’s go. Take a bath and relax in some hot water. Xiaohui is almost here with your clothes.”

Jiang Nian held the towel around his body with one hand and grasped Cheng Jing’s thumb with the other. He looked up hesitantly.

“You asked her to make clothes for me?”

It’s great having such a clever little sister.

Cheng Jing shook his head, then nodded.

“She said she’d make them for you. She also has a big doll collection—don’t you remember? They’re all luxurious and pretty, and she’s got lots of adorable little outfits with nice textures.”

After saying that, he suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason.

“…”

Jiang Nian tilted his head and thought for a moment.

“Most of those dolls wear girls’ clothes, right?”

Cheng Jing nodded.

“There are men’s outfits, too. Now that your body’s shrunk, both men’s and women’s clothes are fine, right? Just wear them for the next three days.”

Cheng Jing carried Jiang Nian into the bathroom, set him down by the edge of the bathtub, and turned on the faucet.

Jiang Nian noticed the uneasy look on Cheng Jing’s face and immediately knew what he was thinking.

“Brother Jing, do you want to see me in girls’ clothes?”

Men were so easy to read!

“Uh… A babydoll outfit’s fine, too. I don’t have any weird kinks, and you don’t have to wear them.”

After saying that, Cheng Jing carried Jiang Nian into the half-filled tub and grabbed a soft, disposable towel to wash him.

These disposable face towels were usually given to Li Shuhui’s and Huang Qian’s. Jiang Nian had stocked up on them before the apocalypse but never imagined he’d end up using them himself.

“Pfft…”

Jiang Nian couldn’t help but laugh at his awkward, guilty look.

“It’s okay. I’ll wear it if Brother Jing wants to see it.”

Cheng Jing wiped his face, stayed quiet for a second, then nodded.

“Alright. No matter what you wear, you’ll look super cute. Let’s just treat it as a fun little experiment.”

After saying that, he lifted Jiang Nian onto his palm and washed his hair, sighing inwardly.

How can someone be so well-behaved?

After shampooing him, Jiang Nian played in the tub by himself. He swam around the tub and tried to use his superpower, but its effective range was only about half a meter.

Cheng Jing watched him, lost in thought, then asked,

“Niannian, I want to take some photos and record a video as a keepsake. Is that okay?”

Even though Qian Lang was there, Niannian would definitely agree to shrink down again to play with him if he asked. However, it was never truly safe, so this time would be the only time.

They also needed to let the researchers develop potions or methods to counter this kind of superpower as soon as possible. Otherwise, accidentally hurting a teammate during a mission could be disastrous.

Jiang Nian flicked his wet hair, swam happily, and lay on the edge of the tub looking at him.

“Of course, Brother Jing. If you want to.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Jing turned around, went to the other room, and returned with a video recorder and camera.

He started recording and filming at the same time.

“…”

Knock, knock, knock—

Just as they were mid-bath, there was a knock at the door. Cheng Jing told Jiang Nian to stay in the water, then got up and walked out.

Li Shuhui and Huang Qian had arrived, each carrying big and small bags.

According to Cheng Jing’s intel, in addition to doll-sized clothes for the first three days, they had also brought children’s outfits for the other stages.

With just one glance, Cheng Jing could tell that most of the clothes were for girls. Seeing the two women smiling with their “scheming,” “corrupt,” and “mischievous” expressions, he knew exactly what was going on.

Luckily, Niannian suggested trying them on so he could see.
