Chapter 2: The Unexpected Ability

Cloud Rise Academy

As the statue of the Emperor flashed a brilliant light, it signified that the bestowal of abilities was proceeding as usual. The elderly headmaster, who had just been on the stage delivering a speech, stroked his beard with satisfaction before choosing to exit, allowing the time on the field to be given to these future blooms of youth.

After all, for those whose abilities had been activated, emotions were high. For those who hadn’t, emotions were low. But whether they had or hadn’t, they likely wouldn’t have the heart to listen to any teachings!

I wonder if this ceremony will awaken any interesting abilities?

As the headmaster walked away, the light gradually faded, and the gaze from the Emperor’s statue was enough to let everyone open their eyes. The atmosphere on the field began to liven up.

“Haha, I’m invincible! I’ve awakened a fire ability!”

“Loser, I’ve awakened a lightning ability!”

“Everyone, I didn’t awaken an ability again this year!!”

Amidst the waves of pain and joy, Ye Yu, who had awakened the ‘Cross-dressing’ ability, felt somewhat out of place. In that moment, looking at his newly appeared ability, he didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. After all, as a true blue child who had a small… you know, being forced to wear girls’ clothes was just too perverted, right? Plus, his ‘Cross-dressing’ ability had an ominous-sounding ‘Forbidden’ suffix.

While Ye Yu was lost in thought, staring at the ability attribute panel in his mind, a girl in a light blue pleated skirt and white blouse approached from behind his formation. She wore white sneakers with a slight heel, carried a parasol, and gracefully walked towards Ye Yu. Her posture was elegant, with her unrestrained, raven-black hair flowing in the air, leaving a faint, refreshing scent of green citrus wherever she went. This scent was subtle but more enjoyable than most girls’ sweet perfume. Many boys couldn’t help but look at her graceful figure.

With just a glance, many boys’ eyes sparkled with admiration. The girl had skin as fair as the moon, and on her small, oval face, her bright, ‘crescent moon’ pupils held a hint of mischief, making her look like a bewitching fairy. This playful expression only added to her already stunning beauty. But what shocked many of the boys was that the beautiful girl wore no makeup. Whether it was her porcelain skin, her delicate features, or her perfect waistline, everything was 100% natural and unaltered.

It’s well known that most boys prefer girls with natural beauty. But to be precise, boys truly love girls who are clean and beautiful without makeup. And now, this girl in a school uniform was the perfect embodiment of every boy’s fantasy of a natural beauty.

Just as the boys were hesitating, wondering if they should gather the courage to ask for the girl’s WeChat, the beautiful girl walked up behind Ye Yu. She slightly turned her head, leaning against her chest with a small cleavage and a swan-like, slender, fair neck. Her two small, white, delicate hands then gently covered Ye Yu’s eyes, her voice carrying a hint of playful teasing. “Come on, guess who I am. If you guess right, sister will reward you, okay?”

Ye Yu, who had been thinking about what the teacher might have mentioned about the ‘Forbidden’ suffix during class, noticed that his vision was suddenly blocked by a pair of soft, cool hands. He felt their coolness, a refreshing scent of orchids, and the heat of the noon sun on his head. Quickly, he guessed her identity. In this world, there weren’t many people who would cover his eyes with such familiarity—only his parents and his childhood fiancée, Tang Yue.

Tang Yue was a girl Ye Yu met when he was three and got lost with his parents. At five, she had the presence of mind to take him to the police. Young Ye Yu, influenced by his mother’s love for TV dramas, fell for Tang Yue at first sight and declared his undying love for her at the police station. When his parents found them and learned that Tang Yue was an orphan, they decided to take her in as a childhood fiancée, recognizing her as part of their family (Note: Tang Yue and Ye Yu are not on the same household registration. Tang Yue was adopted by Tang Ning, who lives next door). After all, compared to an unknown future daughter-in-law, Ye Yu’s mother preferred having a daughter-in-law they could raise from a young age.

Fifteen years of living together had made Ye Yu and Tang Yue closer than most married couples. Now, hearing the faint scent of her perfume and feeling the softness of her body against his back, Ye Yu didn’t dwell on his ‘Cross-dressing’ ability. He gently removed the playful hands covering his eyes, turned around, and seamlessly took the parasol from her, seeing the bright, curious, and mischievous gaze in his childhood fiancée’s eyes. With a hint of resignation, he said, “Moon, the sun is so bright today. Your condition… eh, I told you not to come looking for me, right?”

Though Ye Yu’s words held a hint of complaint, the double joy of activating his ability and having his ‘wife’ come to see him made the corners of his mouth curl up into a small, delighted smile, like a rabbit who had found a carrot. After fifteen years together, Tang Yue, who had watched Ye Yu grow from a toddler, saw his barely concealed happiness. As someone who knew him better than anyone else, Tang Yue sighed in relief, knowing that her little husband had finally awakened his ability.

After relaxing, Tang Yue’s natural curiosity as a girl took over, and she didn’t respond to Ye Yu’s ‘mouth says one thing, body says another’ teasing. Instead, she boldly took Ye Yu’s hand and led him towards the small forest behind the gym, where many students went for private moments. The classmates who had just awakened their abilities watched as the goddess led the ‘pretty boy’ towards the ‘couple’s sanctuary,’ their hearts filled with emotion.

Bro, who gets it? Nowadays, even the freshest, most innocent girls are taking the initiative to chase after guys!

Cloud Rise Academy has been in Cloud City since the beginning of the Ability Bestowal, with a history of over 1,000 years. The ancient forest behind the gym has been there since the academy was founded. Some say the trees are 2,000 years old, others say 3,000. Ye Yu didn’t care about the trees’ age. At that moment, as his beautiful wife pressed him against a massive tree, all he knew was that the tree’s bark was surprisingly smooth, and his wife’s legs, in her white sneakers, were surprisingly long.

“Come on, husband, tell me what ability you awakened!”

Under the shade of the ancient tree, Tang Yue, free from the need for a parasol, held Ye Yu against the tree with her body. Like a seductive fox spirit, every movement, every whisper, was full of allure. As a ‘vigorously youthful’ boy, Ye Yu was momentarily dazed, almost blurting out, “It’s…”

But he suddenly realized a crucial point. As a boy and the future husband of the beautiful girl in front of him, if she knew he had awakened a ‘Cross-dressing’ ability? It would be too strange, right? If Tang Yue found out, at best, his future authority as the head of the household would be ruined!!! At worst, thinking of his childhood fiancée’s occasional mischievous streak and his mother’s playful interest in dressing him up as a girl, just the thought made Ye Yu shiver, and he stopped mid-sentence.

Some secrets are best kept to oneself!!!

“Cross-dressing?”

Seeing Tang Yue’s beautiful face coming closer, Ye Yu, to deflect her attention, quickly thought of a reasonable explanation. Looking at the half-moon pupils that were drawing nearer, he nervously pointed downward and said, “Girls can’t wear school uniforms and lift their skirts, wife. I can see your white lace panties!”

Time really changes things. Although Ye Yu’s excuse about the panties was quite reasonable, normally, a girlfriend would be startled and quickly fix her clothes. But Tang Yue and Ye Yu had been together for fifteen years, far beyond the usual couple’s relationship. After fifteen years of living together, Tang Yue, who was three years older and usually in control, immediately saw through Ye Yu’s awkward acting.

However, as a ‘good wife and controlling big sister,’ Tang Yue didn’t press further. Instead, she looked at her shy husband, who was occasionally glancing at her skirt, and seemed to think of something. A mischievous smile played on her beautiful face as she slowly took out a pink phone from her skirt, opened an app, and with a voice full of teasing, said, “Husband, in just three days, it’s your birthday, and we can go home to get married, right?”

As she spoke, Tang Yue used her unpainted right index finger to slowly tap on the app’s purchase list. Seeing the first item, her bright eyes sparkled, and with a naughty sister’s tone, she said, “My husband, did you know that Pinduoduo has a couple-sharing feature? It seems this ‘Be My Cat’ white silk lingerie is my size. What’s going on here?”

“I remember someone who always loves cat girls. Could it be that you plan to do something naughty on your birthday?”

Seeing his evil shopping exposed, Ye Yu froze on the spot, his head lowering in embarrassment. As a boy with a beautiful childhood fiancée, who wouldn’t want his wife to wear some of his favorite strange outfits? But now, before the clothes even arrived and without the right atmosphere or timing, his secret was discovered, making him incredibly embarrassed!

Just as Ye Yu, feeling weak and embarrassed, was about to curl up and hide from his beautiful wife’s upcoming ‘education,’ he felt a soft, warm embrace. It was a hug from a beautiful girl, accompanied by her gentle whispers. “My little husband, eating the little cat on your birthday isn’t a bad idea, but as compensation, I want to collect some interest today!”

As she spoke, Tang Yue tucked a few stray locks behind her ear, her fair cheeks flushing pink, revealing her neat, white teeth and her upper gums with two small, sharp canine teeth. As those teeth drew nearer to Ye Yu’s delicate neck, Tang Yue’s half-moon pupils flashed a brilliant red light.

Ah~ Right, I forgot to introduce my childhood fiancée, Tang Yue. At the age of twelve, she awakened a ‘Vampire’ ability!
