Chapter 151: Am I Really Going to the Girls’ Dorm?

Really… really going there?

Her heart asked the question over and over again in nervous repetition,
yet her legs didn’t slow down at all —
if anything, they moved a little faster.

Those four big characters hanging above the gate — **“Boys Keep Out”** —
were still deeply etched in her memory.

But “Boys Keep Out”… what does that have to do with me now?
I’m a girl!
—Yes, exactly. In this moment, admitting she was a girl felt faster and more natural than ever before.

I’ve been a girl since seventeen years ago!
Going into the girls’ dorm — what’s so strange about that?

Still… honestly… she felt extremely nervous.

The more forbidden a place was,
the more it stirred fantasies —
and the stronger that invisible pull became.

What would the girls’ dorm actually be like?

Back when her little sister was boarding in junior high,
even when she brought late-night snacks during evening self-study,
she could only stand at the bottom of the dorm building,
staring awkwardly at the dorm auntie
while waiting for Su Xiao Zi to come down and get them.

The girls’ dorm must be filled everywhere with the sweet scent of flowers.
Corridors lined with blooming blossoms in every shade of pink and purple.
The air thick with the fragrant aura of youthful maidens.
Girls wandering between rooms in nothing but thin little panties.

A freshly bathed beauty wrapped only in a white bath towel —
like a blooming white lotus,
visible from afar but untouchable.

Public bathrooms and washstands shrouded in white steam.
Through the mist, tall, graceful figures flitted past in glimpses.

Everywhere, fair, tender thighs swaying freely in the air —
those legs usually hidden beneath white or black stockings
now completely bare, a feast for the eyes.

Proud, full breasts lifted and supported by thin white shirts —
plump white rabbits threatening to burst free,
swaying cutely with every step~

A romantic springtime dreamscape,
a poetic fairyland,
a hormone-filled banquet belonging only to teenage girls.

This was the romantic fantasy Su Xiaoxiao — who had never once set foot in a girls’ dorm —
had built up in her mind.

On the way there,
she kept indulging in these daydreams,
secretly feeling glad she had fallen into the pool today.
Misfortune begets fortune; fortune begets misfortune.

Su Xiaoxiao made almost no sound as she walked.
Hua Ruolian glanced back worriedly
and asked with concern:

“Are we running too fast?
There’s no one else around now —
you can slow down. No need to hurry.
We can ask the teacher for permission to skip morning self-study.
I’ll take responsibility!”

“Eh… thank you.”

It felt like time travel —
those words sounded so familiar to Su Xiaoxiao.

She vaguely remembered saying something similar two years ago
after pushing Hua Ruolian into the pool:
“I’ll take responsibility.”
Back then she hadn’t noticed how easily misunderstood that phrase could be —
especially when she said it in front of a crowd.

No wonder everyone’s faces turned red back then.
She really had no tact when she was taller.

Of course, she hadn’t dragged the other person straight to the dorm back then —
they went to the school infirmary instead,
worried about injuries.

The dramatic irony made the corner of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth lift slightly.
Seeing her smile, Hua Ruolian finally relaxed a little.
Their pace slowed.
Hand in hand, they walked gently toward the dormitory.

What she was truly grateful for was that she hadn’t caught a cold yesterday.

“Today’s incident… really, really sorry.
Your first day at a new school,
and we meet for the first time… only for something like this to happen.
It must have been so troublesome for you…”

“That’s why I said it’s fine.
And aren’t you taking me to change clothes right now?
There’s no trouble at all —
you’re helping me.”

“Xiaoxiao is so kind and forgiving…”

Hua Ruolian lowered her head shyly.

“Rather than kind, maybe ‘lazy’ fits me better.
Getting angry takes too much energy —
I’m too lazy for that, so I almost never get mad.
I’m pretty laid-back.
You don’t have to worry so much about me, Lian.”

“Lian…”

Hua Ruolian tilted her head in confusion and glanced at Su Xiaoxiao.
Realizing her slip, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained:

“Ah — I-I mean,
it was written on the student council clipboard.
Your name was there, so I subconsciously called you Lian…
Is that okay?”

“Ah… you saw it there.
It’s fine.
You can call me whatever you like.
Actually… I pushed you into the pool before we even properly introduced ourselves…
I’m the worst…”

Then Hua Ruolian lifted her head again,
gazing at a patch of clouds in the sky ahead.
In class, there had also been someone who called her that —
what a coincidence.
It made her recall certain memories in her mind.

“Today’s incident suddenly reminded me of something similar that happened to me before.
We still have a little way to go before the dorm —
would you like to hear about it, Xiaoxiao?
It might be interesting.”

“Mm.”

I also remember experiencing something exactly like this before —
and that incident might be the very same story you’re about to tell.

Su Xiaoxiao quietly leaned in closer,
listening attentively.

Hua Ruolian took a gentle breath,
then let it out slowly.
A small smile curved her lips.

“It happened two years ago.
That was my first time coming to this school —
a first-year student.
I couldn’t find where to register,
so I was hesitating near the gate…
right beside that fountain pool.”

I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry

Before Hua Ruolian even continued,
Su Xiaoxiao was already chanting apologies in her heart.
It seemed the fountain pool curse was impossible to escape today.

“There was a boy…
the exact same thing happened.
He accidentally fell into the pool with me.
I knew he didn’t do it on purpose,
but it was my first day at a new school…
suddenly being pushed into the water by a boy…
and in the panic, his hand… grabbed my chest…

I slapped him without thinking…”

“Really hard…
I still remember —
when he took me to the infirmary and was talking to the teacher,
there was a clear handprint on his cheek…”

He deserved it.
He deserved it!
Not only did he push someone into the pool,
he also groped a girl’s chest!
That slap was justice.
She had no idea which shameless pervert did such a thing.

Su Xiaoxiao scratched her cheek with a finger,
whistling guiltily under her breath
and turning her face away —
desperately trying not to arouse suspicion.

“Afterward he apologized properly,
but even though we were in the same class,
we both felt too awkward to talk to each other…
Especially whenever I tried to speak to him,
I’d get so nervous I’d stumble over my words…
I don’t even know if I made sense half the time…
And last week I accidentally let him see the book I was reading…”

She trailed off,
her voice growing softer.
A faint blush colored her cheeks again.
