Chapter 152: Perhaps It’s Even Harder to Talk to Him Now…

‘…I wonder if he did his Chinese homework today. Last time he swore a poisonous oath that if he didn’t write it again he’d… hahaha, actually that was pretty funny, right?’

That’s right! Still didn’t write the Chinese homework—and now I’m really not a man anymore!

The logic is clear, completely consistent, delivered in one smooth breath.

‘He’s actually quite considerate. Qingqing often praises him behind his back.’

Liu Qingqing is also a classmate in our class. She’s one of my very good friends.

‘You guys will definitely become friends too.’

‘But… so it turns out that when Lian talks to other people she gets really shy. It’s not because she’s bad at interacting with boys—it’s just because of me?’

‘I’m the one who’s kind of heartless here. That day’s memory came back really fast. If I remembered it clearly, I’d probably be the truly irredeemable pervert!’

‘I even wondered at one point why Lian gets so easily embarrassed. When I asked my desk mate, I got an immediate scolding: “Think hard about what you did to her!”’

‘So it was all because of what happened that day. Too cruel. Turns out I personally ruined my own high-school romantic love story. Actually… I really quite liked Lian.’

‘She’s probably the exact type of girl I have in mind, right?’

Before they knew it, the two of them had already arrived at the entrance to the girls’ dormitory.

“Ah, sorry… I was talking about myself the whole way here…”

“It’s fine. I like hearing these stories. Um… so this is the dormitory?”

Su Xiaoxiao deliberately asked even though she already knew, trying her best to act like a proper newly transferred student.

Hua Ruolian gave an affirmative hum, then quickly grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s slender wrist and ran up the steps.

But right at the moment they were about to step through the doorway, Su Xiaoxiao hesitated. She stopped in place and didn’t take another step forward.

“Huh?”

Hua Ruolian turned her head and also stopped.

She saw Su Xiaoxiao standing there with an expression that seemed to be hesitating over something.

‘Should I just ask first…? Inside the dormitory… is it possible there are girls who just finished showering and come out completely naked…?’

“How could there be? Even though it’s an all-girls dorm, everyone is still shy. There won’t be any bold girls like that. On the contrary, now I’m a little worried about what kind of dormitory your original school had, Xiaoxiao…”

“Y-yeah! How could there possibly be such bold girls!”

Su Xiaoxiao knocked her own head, then laughed together with Hua Ruolian.

“Hey, Evran—I’m talking about you, bold girl.”

Su Xiaoxiao knew Evran’s presence had been hovering nearby the whole time, following her closely like a bodyguard. She just didn’t know exactly where.

They seemed to have made an agreement earlier: Evran could come to school with her, but she was absolutely forbidden from interfering with normal campus life. So she had hidden herself before they passed through the school gate?

Looks like she shouldn’t have blamed her earlier. She really has been properly following the rules they set between them.

With a heart full of nervous excitement mixed with timidity, Su Xiaoxiao followed Hua Ruolian and stepped through the entrance of the girls’ dormitory.

Su Xiaoxiao even had a dreamlike, unreal feeling.

She had actually, truly entered a girls’ dormitory one day—and without being stopped by the dorm auntie. She had easily walked in hand-in-hand with another girl.

What was about to unfold before her eyes… was it paradise—?

No.

The moment she truly stepped inside the dormitory building, Su Xiaoxiao’s fantasy instantly shattered.

The layout and structure of the floors were exactly the same as the boys’ dormitory. Nothing special at all.

There was no girlish fragrance in the air either—just cold, chilly wind blowing in from the windows.

The wind swept under her still-damp skirt, making Su Xiaoxiao shiver involuntarily. One hand instinctively covered her small bottom.

Along the corridor of this floor, not a single girl could be seen.

It was almost enough to make someone exclaim: Is this really the girls’ dormitory?!

A dormitory without any girls—what kind of girls’ dormitory is that!

The lively, blooming girls are the soul of a girls’ dormitory. Without them it’s just an ordinary apartment building!

“Because it’s still early—first- and second-year seniors haven’t arrived yet, and the third-years have all gone to morning self-study. There’s no one else in the dorm right now. Don’t worry, I’ll take you to my room first.”

So at this time of day, the dormitory being completely empty was actually normal.

For some reason, Su Xiaoxiao felt a little disappointed.

Perhaps her original imagination had been too unrealistic. After personally coming to the girls’ dormitory, there really wasn’t anything particularly exciting—damn it, there wasn’t even a single person!

Right now, to Su Xiaoxiao, this place was just an ordinary apartment building.

No paradise. No girls. None of it existed.

Was her first experience entering a girls’ dormitory really going to end with this kind of mood…?

Aaaaah, what on earth am I even thinking about? She’s just bringing me here to change clothes. Did I really expect something to happen?

Su Xiaoxiao felt ashamed of her own thoughts. She hugged her head and obediently followed Hua Ruolian into the dorm room.

The room was also very simple—no flashy decorations. Just the standard pale-pink bedding and a few stuffed toys, white walls, granite flooring. A fairly spacious room with four beds.

Four girls lived in one room.

After returning to the dorm, Hua Ruolian first ran to the balcony and tightly drew the curtains. Then she went to the wardrobe, opened it, and began searching for stored clothes.

Su Xiaoxiao stood dazed at the doorway, looking around the girls’ dorm room, unsure what she should do.

‘I should close the door too. Even though no one should come out at this time, it still feels safer.’

“Oh, okay.”

Su Xiaoxiao turned around, pushed the dorm room door—click—and it automatically locked shut.

She tiptoed into the room, placed her schoolbag on the table, and waited for Hua Ruolian’s instructions.

Hua Ruolian searched in her wardrobe for a little while, picked out the smallest dress she could find, held it up against Su Xiaoxiao’s figure to compare sizes.

Su Xiaoxiao placed both hands obediently in front of her, standing straight and letting Hua Ruolian look as much as she wanted.

‘So nervous…’

The initial tension and novelty of entering a girls’ dormitory for the first time had faded a little.

Now that she really was a girl, she didn’t have to sneak around like a thief afraid of being discovered.

But being alone in a room with the girl she liked, door and windows tightly shut, curtains drawn perfectly closed, the light dim—this situation brought Su Xiaoxiao a different kind of unease.

Lian’s black stockings were partially soaked with water and clung even more tightly to those long, slender legs. The atmosphere felt faintly ambiguous.

Su Xiaoxiao swallowed hard. For a moment her gaze couldn’t leave those long legs.

‘I’m sorry… I’m sorry…’

Her conscience was screaming in condemnation…

She hadn’t intended to peek at all. But they really were too sexy—completely hitting every point in her heart. She simply couldn’t look away…

‘Taking just a tiny bit of advantage with a girl’s identity… would that be okay…?’

‘Control your hands! Control yourself, Su Xiaoxiao!’

She kept warning herself inside her heart…

Gulp… gulp…

Swallowing saliva…
