Chapter 21: The Perks of Being a Girl

Summer had arrived, and Nanchang Jiaoyuan College was lush with green trees.

Sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves of the trees, dappling the sports field and creating specks of liquid gold.

Apart from the freshmen who were miserably practicing military boxing and marching, many people on campus were busy preparing for their morning classes. Some had already gotten up and were jogging on the sports field, while others were doing various sports.

At this moment, two beautiful girls were walking along the tree-lined path on campus. The warm sunlight shone through the sparse leaves and onto their faces, making them appear even more radiant and charming.

The two girls walked side-by-side, attracting a lot of attention.

What was even more striking was that the two girls were identical in every way, from their expressions and features to their clothes. Both were wearing golden sun hats, white floral dresses, and white canvas shoes, with their long black hair draped over their shoulders.

At first glance, anyone would be secretly amazed: “Wow, a pair of sister beauties!”

The only difference was that the one on the left was sunny, lively, and confident, while the one on the right seemed a bit quiet and shy.

But without a doubt, both girls were beauties of an anime-level caliber. They walked hand-in-hand, attracting countless gazes along the way.

“Damn it, so many people are looking at me.”

Tang Yunle subconsciously shrank his neck and hid behind Tang Yunke, trying to avoid the gazes. But to his surprise, this shy and cute gesture attracted even more frequent glances from others.

“Big sister is a great beauty, so of course many people like to look at you. Not just men, even women like beautiful things.”

“Didn’t big sister used to take a few extra glances at pretty girls on the street in the past?”

“That’s true, but I’m still not used to it.”

Tang Yunle tugged at the hem of his skirt, a look of discomfort on his face. “Especially… every step I take feels so breezy, like the wind is blowing right up my skirt. This feeling is so strange.”

“Big sister will get used to it after wearing women’s clothing more often.”

Tang Yunke said, continuing to lead Tang Yunle forward.

As they passed through the lake-heart park, summer cherry blossoms fell into Tang Yunle’s fluffy long hair.

The two walked along the stone-paved path. As they passed the wisteria-covered corridor, the swaying flower clusters cast fine shadows on Tang Yunle’s pearl-white skirt, causing the students sitting on the benches reading to frequently look up.

After turning past the octagonal pavilion, the spire of the red-brick teaching building came into view.

As they passed the outdoor basketball court, the sound of basketballs hitting the ground suddenly stopped. Several boys stood there holding their balls, their gazes following the two girls’ fair calves until their figures disappeared around the corner of the art building behind the camphor trees.

Along the way, many boys were secretly peeking at the quiet and shy Tang Yunle and the lively and cheerful Tang Yunke. The two sisters looked and dressed exactly the same, and wherever they went, they would attract everyone’s attention and discussion.

The quiet one on the right had her eyes lowered, while the lively one on the left had her gaze darting around. The same style of floral dress swayed with their steps, like two twin lotuses swaying in the wind.

As a being similar to a little devil, Tang Yunke had specially enhanced Tang Yunle’s hearing. She had heard all the whispers along the way.

“Holy cow! A pair of sister beauties! When did our school get such great beauties?”

“Old Liu, go for it! Go get their WeChat and QQ numbers, we’ll back you up!”

“Those legs~ so fair! It’s an anime-level of fairness.”

Countless low-voiced conversations and amazed praises swirled around the ears of the girl in the floral dress.

Tang Yunle’s fingers, clutching the hem of her skirt, turned slightly white. The floor-to-ceiling glass at the end of the corridor reflected her reddened ear tips.

“Big sister sauce, how is it? Doesn’t it feel good to be the center of attention?” Tang Yunke linked her arm with Tang Yunle’s, her cheek close to her neck. “I know big sister super loves this feeling of being needed.”

“Of course not. My mind is completely focused, okay?”

The beautiful girl in the floral dress retorted, but the redness on her ears just wouldn’t fade.

Seeing this, Tang Yunke didn’t expose her, but continued to lead her on a stroll around the campus.

The two strolled for about an hour, and they were tired and thirsty. Coincidentally, the cafeteria was nearby.

So, Tang Yunke took Tang Yunle’s hand and walked towards the cafeteria.

The three-yuan lemonade from the school cafeteria was always Tang Yunle’s favorite.

The moment they stepped into the cafeteria, a long line had already formed at the lemonade stall.

A line of boys in shorts and t-shirts were queuing up. The boy at the front was even holding a basketball, his sweaty back showing dark marks, clearly the basketball team just after a game.

“Tsk, this is going to take five or six minutes to queue,” Tang Yunle stood on his tiptoes to look and couldn’t help but pout.

“Who said we have to queue?” Tang Yunke blinked slyly.

“Cuteness is a VIP card exclusive to girls. Big sister, watch closely—”

“Now I’ll show you the benefits of being a girl.”

Before her words had even faded, she suddenly let go of his hand and ran towards the window with light steps.

In the stunned gazes of the crowd, Tang Yunke turned to face the line, put her hands together, and tilted her head.

“Onii-chans, can my sister and I buy first? We just want two cups of lemonade.”

Her voice was sweet, soft, and clear.

The line instantly froze, and even the humming of the fans became clearly audible.

The sophomore seniors, seeing the beautiful girl’s cute and lively actions, were all at a loss for a moment. The first to react was the basketball team captain, who slapped his teammate on the shoulder and grinned cheerfully. “It’s okay, girl, you go ahead and buy. It’s just two cups of lemonade!”

As soon as his words fell, a chorus of male voices followed. “The captain is right, you guys buy first.”

“I have no objection.”

“I have no objection either.”

“It’s just two cups of lemonade, it doesn’t matter.”

In the end, Tang Yunle watched in stunned silence as Tang Yunke returned with the lemonade she had bought.

The queuing boys turned their heads at the sound and found that another beautiful girl in the same floral dress had appeared at the back of their line at some point, her features picturesque, equally beautiful.

As everyone was secretly admiring her, the corner of Tang Yunle’s mouth twitched, but she didn’t complain. Instead, she asked the question that was on her mind, “Aren’t you a female ghost? Only I can see you. How can they see you too?”

“How many times have I told you, Yunke is not a female ghost. Yunke is a being similar to a little devil,” Tang Yunke said, taking a dissatisfied sip of her lemonade. “Of course I have the ability to decide whether outsiders can see me or not.”

“How come I didn’t know that?”

“Big sister never asked me. But don’t worry, big sister. Without Yunke’s permission, no one can touch Yunke. Yunke is a clean girl. In the future, I’m going to marry brother-in-law with big sister.”

“Go away, I’m not getting married.”

“Big sister will, because I know big sister has always been very tired…”

The two bickered for a bit, then prepared to leave.

“Can we add you two on WeChat?”

Just then, that cheerful male voice sounded again.

Tang Yunle was stunned. Tang Yunke, on the other hand, turned around, looked at the tall and sturdy boy in the line, and shook her head. “No, you can’t. My sister’s and my boyfriend won’t agree. He values the things he cares about very much.”

Hearing this, the tall and sturdy boy was first disappointed, then suddenly realized, “What do you mean, my sister’s and my boyfriend?”

‘Their boyfriend is the same person?!’

“Look, my sister’s boyfriend is here!”

Tang Yunke suddenly turned and pointed behind her, drawing everyone’s gazes. Taking advantage of everyone turning their heads, she took a step forward and came up behind the beautiful girl in the floral dress who was also turning her head while sipping lemonade. With both hands, she pushed hard towards the cafeteria entrance.

Before Tang Yunle could react, her vision blurred, and she crashed into something white, a thin white, a slender white, and then she was pressed down on top of the white.

She opened her dazed eyes and met another pair of even more dazed and helpless eyes.

They were… a pair of ice-blue eyes.
