Chapter 36: Girls emotions

“Waaahhh—”
The moment her only covering was stripped away, Su Xiaoxiao instinctively curled up, frantically trying to shield her body’s most vital parts.

Standing nearby, Su Xiao Zi’s cherry-red lips parted slightly, a flicker of surprise in her eyes.

The girl’s jade-like, fair skin came into view, and Su Xiao Zi’s cheeks couldn’t help but flush with a faint blush.

Su Xiao Zi let out a dry cough, her cheeks dusted with pink.
She raised both hands to cover her face, but her eyes peeked through the gaps between her fingers.

What was this overwhelming sense of shame?

Su Xiaoxiao’s mind was spinning.
Even though she knew her body had only transformed into a girl’s, shame wasn’t something dictated by gender after all.

After being stripped bare, she desperately searched for something—anything—to cover herself.

Back when she was a man, standing naked in front of her sister wouldn’t have fazed her.
She’d have even teased, “A gentleman has nothing to hide!”

The one blushing and running away in embarrassment would’ve been her sister.

But now, their roles seemed reversed.

Her cheeks burned hotly, and Su Xiao Zi’s half-hearted attempt to cover her eyes was pointless—she was clearly sneaking glances the whole time.

Su Xiaoxiao felt like she was enduring some kind of torture all over again.

Su Xiao Zi quietly took a step closer, whispering, “You’re covering yourself wrong, you know.
Look, you should put one hand over your chest and the other one lower down.
That way, you can cover the most important parts.”

Her sister was even thoughtfully teaching her how a girl should cover her body’s key areas.
Su Xiaoxiao found it even harder to accept, wanting nothing more than to end this farce.

“Your body is so beautiful.”

“Help! My sister’s about to do something indecent to me!”

Su Xiao Zi was seriously praising her near-perfect delicate frame, and it startled Su Xiaoxiao so much her body tensed up.

“Y-You, don’t yell nonsense!
Who’s doing anything indecent?
I’m just saying you’re cute!”

“This is practically an insult to my dignity!”
Su Xiaoxiao resisted fiercely.

“Oh, come on, I’m just teasing you.
Alright, turn around.
I’ll start washing your back and teach you some things a girl needs to know when cleaning herself.”

Su Xiao Zi seemed genuinely intent on helping her bathe.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly in her heart.
She slowly turned around, facing away from her sister.
While this hid the front of her body, she couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling lingering behind her.

Would this kind of thing… have to keep happening from now on?

“Sigh.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked down at her pale palm, stretching out her slender fingers.
Her gaze gradually took on a calm maturity that didn’t match her petite, adorable appearance, as if she were deep in thought.

But she had no other choice.

If she hadn’t decisively chosen Evran back then, she probably wouldn’t be here to see her sister again.
Back then, her only thought was to avenge her sister, even at the cost of her own life.

Looking at it now, turning into a girl because of the Bloodkin’s embrace was, at the very least, a worthwhile price.

“…”
After she turned around, Su Xiao Zi fell silent, making no move.

—A long time passed.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but ask suspiciously, “Su Xiao Zi, what are you doing?
You’re not imagining something inappropriate right now, are you?”

“No way!
What kind of person do you think I am?
I’m not like you, Brother, with your head full of that stuff!”

Su Xiao Zi’s hands flailed in the air, her excited and slightly shaky tone betraying her.
Her flushed cheeks made her words entirely unconvincing.

In truth, she was just entranced, wanting to quietly take in Su Xiaoxiao’s graceful, smooth back a little longer.

‘Hehe~
My brother turned into a little sister, so tiny—oh my gosh, she’s just too cute!’

Oh no, she needed to wipe that drool quick.
