Now that he had money, Bai Yao considered getting a comprehensive physical examination.
Although he didn’t know much about it, fortunately, hospitals nowadays offered various check-up packages.
‘Well, blood and urine tests, and liver and kidney functions definitely need to be checked,’ he thought.
‘Color ultrasound and CT scans probably need to be done too. As for tumor screenings or genetic testing… those probably aren’t that necessary, right?’
But thinking about how a physical exam would expose his feminized figure and reveal his small but firm little mounds, Bai Yao chickened out.
When he first encountered the System, he didn’t have this much meat on his chest.
‘Anyway, I can’t escape it… checking probably won’t help either?’
Muttering to himself, Bai Yao returned to the dormitory.
The floor was now so clean it almost reflected his image.
Chen Zhilong walked out the door carrying two large bags of trash he had gathered.
Qiu Ye was helping tidy up their roommates’ desks to avoid getting scolded when the School Leadership came for inspection.
“Bai Yao, fold their blankets.”
“What a hassle…”
Bai Yao took off his shoes and climbed onto Lin Mingxin’s bed.
“Did you talk to him?”
“I did.”
Qiu Ye picked up the induction cooker and a pot, looking left and right.
“Should I put the induction cooker in the wardrobe? Is there anything to hide it?”
“Doesn’t Wang Zuhao have a thick quilt?”
Qiu Ye turned to open Wang Zuhao’s wardrobe and hid the induction cooker and pot behind the thick cotton quilt.
He also hid the hairdryer and immersion heater behind the quilt.
Standing barefoot on Lin Mingxin’s mattress, Bai Yao bent over to pick up the blanket.
With a shake and a fold, he quickly turned the blanket into a somewhat irregular “tofu block.”
The air-conditioned quilts used in summer were thin and light, making them easy to fold, and they had learned how to do it during military training at the start of the semester.
He was about to step across the bed frame to Wang Zuhao’s bed when something suddenly poked his foot.
He looked down and saw a small red box.
“What is this?”
He picked it up to look… a condom.
Bai Yao’s lips twitched.
Although he often saw these things by the convenience store counter, it was the first time he had actually seen someone own one in daily life, even if the internet always talked about practicing safety before marriage.
“Bai Yao, should I help organize your desk too?”
“Okay.”
Bai Yao felt a sense of guilt for peeking at Lin Mingxin’s secret and hurriedly hid the condom under the pillow.
It had to be said that although Bai Yao looked clean and fair, his desk was quite a mess.
Books, wired headphones, unfinished drinks, trash bags, acne ointment, facial cleanser, several stolen face masks, toothpaste, toothbrush, toothbrush cup, hair ties, a comb, and a small mirror — everything was scattered randomly across the desk.
Qiu Ye gathered the textbooks and put them on the bookshelf, wiped the laptop lid clean, and opened the drawer next to it, only to find several books stacked inside.
“You actually read? The Bible?”
“My mom believes in it and insisted I read it. I’ve never even flipped through it.”
Qiu Ye tucked the headphones into the edge of the books and bent down to open the lower drawer, but he suddenly heard Bai Yao let out a sharp, explosive cry.
“Wait! I’ll clean that myself!”
He turned his head and saw Bai Yao looking so anxious he almost jumped down from the top bunk.
However, the bed frame’s height of nearly 1.8 meters made Bai Yao hesitate.
He could only scramble down the ladder in a hurry and practically pounce over.
Although Bai Yao knew his behavior was extremely suspicious, the priority right now was to not expose his women’s clothing and the System’s Level 8 Armor!
‘As long as Qiu Ye doesn’t see it with his own eyes! Anything else is fine!’
In Qiu Ye’s eyes, he was the cold roommate, a reliable angel, and a brother he’d face death with! He couldn’t become a “pervert who buys such a large Level 8 Armor and wears women’s clothes.”
Qiu Ye might even misunderstand and think he liked to wear women’s clothes while using the Level 8 Armor to fly around!
Squatting on the floor, Bai Yao managed to protect his drawer and breathed a small sigh of relief.
Only then did he look up at the bewildered and stunned Qiu Ye.
He racked his brain for an excuse.
“Uh… anyway, this drawer is full. There’s no room for anything else.”
“Do you think I believe that?”
“…”
Seeing Bai Yao’s face turn red at a visible speed, so flustered that his entire face was flushed and hot as if it were about to smoke, Qiu Ye stroked his chin thoughtfully and teased like a mischievous ghost.
“A masturbation cup? Notebooks? Smutty books?”
“…”
“Women’s clothes?”
Bai Yao guiltily avoided Qiu Ye’s gaze.
If it was women’s clothes, it was at least better than the Level 8 Armor, right?
Anyway, Qiu Ye had seen him in them before; he might have already guessed it was him.
Sacrifice the pawn to save the king!
“Uh, yeah…”
Bai Yao lowered his head awkwardly and picked at his fingers, muttering in a low voice, “Didn’t you always want me to wear them? So I secretly bought a set.”
Qiu Ye was deeply shocked.
“You actually bought them?”
“…”
“No, I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously,” Qiu Ye hurriedly advised.
“You can’t just give up on yourself, okay? Why would a perfectly fine guy wear women’s clothes? How ugly would it be to look neither like a man nor a woman later?”
Bai Yao’s eyelids flickered, stung by the phrase “neither like a man nor a woman.”
Even if he didn’t wear women’s clothes, he already looked like someone who was neither man nor woman.
Qiu Ye noticed he had suddenly gone quiet and realized the problem with his wording.
“I didn’t mean it like that…”
While trying to think of how to explain, Qiu Ye realized something else.
“You said you bought them because I wanted you to wear them… and you were serious?”
Bai Yao was also stunned.
If not that, then what?
He couldn’t say it was a reward for a System mission, could he?
He certainly couldn’t say he bought them because he wanted to wear them himself!
“Yeah.”
He stood up, pretending to be calm, and began tidying the clutter on his desk.
‘But saying I bought women’s clothes for Qiu Ye seems a bit ambiguous, doesn’t it?’
He stole a glance at Qiu Ye and found that the guy’s expression was somewhat complicated.
Bai Yao didn’t know where the impulse came from, but he suddenly asked, “Do you want to see?”
He looked great in women’s clothes! He wasn’t some “neither man nor woman” thing!
Besides wanting to prove that, he also had a desire to show off, hoping to hear Qiu Ye’s praise.
Qiu Ye scratched the back of his head.
“Is that okay? I really was just joking. Don’t force yourself.”
“Do you want to see?”
“Yes!”
He nodded firmly.
Since they were already bought, it would be a waste not to wear them once!
Including this time, it would be the third time…
Bai Yao felt a bit lost.
He had accepted wearing women’s clothes more easily than he had imagined.
This time, he was even acting like a girl, looking forward to showing his beautiful side to Qiu Ye.
‘Does a woman dress for the one she likes?’
Perhaps he just wanted validation from Qiu Ye, just like how he received validation from strangers when he went out in women’s clothing.
He started to regret the words as soon as they left his mouth, but Bai Yao still pushed through.
“Then… when?”
Qiu Ye scanned the dormitory.
“The dorm definitely isn’t convenient. People will gossip if they see.”
Just then, Chen Zhilong, who had been throwing out the trash, returned.
The two of them tacitly cut off the conversation about women’s clothes and buried their heads in their own tasks.
Chen Zhilong didn’t notice anything wrong and urged them, “I just saw the counselor downstairs. Hurry up, hurry up.”
“We’re almost done,” Qiu Ye replied, but his mind was wandering.
‘Damn, it couldn’t be because of me that Bai Yao developed a habit for women’s clothes, could it?’
Although he really did suit them, there was a sense of guilt, as if he had lured Bai Yao into depravity!
