Chapter 86: Hurriedly Messing with Qiu Ye

Hiding in the bathroom, Bai Yao pulled his short-sleeved shirt up high, biting the hem with his mouth to hold it in place.

His slender waist, fair belly, and the small, developing mounds were all exposed to the air, his skin prickling with goosebumps.

With both hands, he peeled open the chest stickers and carefully pressed them onto the tips.

He applied a bit of pressure to make them stick firmly, but a twinge of pain from deep within made him frown slightly.

Letting go of his shirt hem, Bai Yao looked down to inspect his chest.

‘Hmm… You can’t tell at all now!’

Although the curves were still quite noticeable, making him subconsciously slouch a little to hide them, those chest stickers weren’t exactly something he could show people.

He had to hide them; he couldn’t let his roommates see.

‘Should I put them at Qiu Ye’s place? Oh! I can stuff my girls’ clothes into Qiu Ye’s wardrobe too! If a roommate ever sees them, I’ll just say Qiu Ye is a Cross-dressing Legend.’

That way, Bai Yao would only need to hide the Level 8 armor.

It was a mission reward, after all.

Although he often thought about getting rid of it, what if it had other functions besides being… suggestive?

Perhaps it was as miraculous as the Makeup Box?

Walking out of the bathroom, he found Qiu Ye waiting on the balcony.

The other man turned to look at Bai Yao, scanning him from head to toe.

“Straighten your back.”

“Huh?” Bai Yao straightened up.

“You really can’t tell, but I feel like your chest has gotten a bit bigger again?”

‘Well, it has been secretly developing.’

Bai Yao slumped his shoulders again and turned to lean against the railing.

He pulled out his phone and scrolled through his WeChat list hesitantly.

It was the end of the month, and it was time to ask his family for money.

He hesitated for a moment, typed some words into the chat box, deleted them, and then carefully reorganized his message.

“Mom, what about next month’s living expenses?”

Estimating that his mother was eating while watching Douyin livestreams, a voice reply arrived quickly.

Bai Yao converted the audio to text.

“The money from your part-time job isn’t enough to spend?”

“Not really enough…”

“Now that you’ve started working part-time, you know how hard it is to earn money, right? How much can you spend just on food? Play less on the computer…”

Bai Yao only gave the long string of text a cursory glance without reading it all.

Fortunately, he didn’t have many social needs and didn’t buy clothes or shoes.

His living expenses were mostly spent on food and drinks.

As long as the school didn’t suddenly demand a fee, 1,500 was actually quite comfortable.

Qiu Ye leaned over, trying to peek at Bai Yao’s screen.

However, Bai Yao tilted the screen away, refusing to let him see.

“Who are you chatting with?”

“My mom.”

“Oh, my mother-in-law?”

Bai Yao lightly bumped him with his shoulder.

“Your mother-in-law is still waiting to meet you during winter break.”

Seeing Bai Yao glare at him in embarrassed annoyance, Qiu Ye teased him and then retreated.

“Then I’m going to log in and play Monster Hunter first. Hurry up, we’re going to hunt Kulve Taroth together later to craft some gear.”

“Okay.”

As the balcony door closed, Bai Yao let out a quiet sigh.

‘I really shouldn’t have asked home for money. Even over WeChat, I get lectured for so long. Maybe I should say I’m in a relationship? Ask for some dating funds?’

Bai Yao nervously bit his nails.

After his mother sent eight consecutive voice messages, he hesitantly typed: “I haven’t been feeling well lately. I want to use the part-time money to go to the hospital for a checkup.”

He wasn’t lying; the money he earned from the system was indeed intended for a medical exam.

“A checkup? Wait until you come back for the New Year. I’ll have your eldest uncle take you. He has connections… Keep your money for yourself. Tell me if it’s not enough.”

‘Why use connections for something you can just pay for?’

Bai Yao was so stifled he didn’t know what to type back.

He helplessly agreed.

“Fine.”

Agreeing was one thing, but he still had to go for the checkup.

New Year’s was still several months away.

If they found some illness then, it might be too late.

Not only did he need the checkup, but he also had to continue the system missions…

This was likely the only way Bai Yao could earn money so he wouldn’t have to ask his family for it so frequently.

He was being picky about other part-time jobs, even if it was just chatting over WeChat.

When he had time, he returned to the dormitory and slumped onto his desk, exhausted.

It was quite quiet in the dorm during the afternoon.

Wang Zuhao was out, Lin Mingxin was lying on his bed playing with his phone, Chen Zhilong was playing Delta Force, and Qiu Ye was playing Monster Hunter.

Bai Yao took a facial mask out of his drawer and applied it.

He leaned back against the chair, staring at the rotating fan on the ceiling, wondering how to trigger a system mission.

Perhaps because he lacked a social life and was always around the same few roommates in the same environment, missions had been scarce lately.

Most of them were related to Qiu Ye.

Oh, and related to cross-dressing…

The system also seemed quite concerned about Bai Yao’s physical and mental health.

However, he wasn’t like that 30-something obsessed woman who had ruined her body; his health was decent, so fewer missions were triggered.

Bai Yao pondered.

‘I probably still have to start with Qiu Ye? It’s easier to mess with someone I know.’

In any case, it was impossible for him to go looking for other strange men to trigger missions like being hit on, getting to know each other, or going on dates.

‘It feels a bit cruel to keep pestering Qiu Ye with bad intentions, though…’

Bai Yao glanced at Qiu Ye, who was currently gaming.

Qiu Ye felt a chill run down his spine, as if a cold wind had brushed past.

He looked around suspiciously and picked up the remote to raise the air conditioner by one degree.

“There’s no need to have it this low now, right? It’s a bit cold, a waste of electricity.”

“Are you that weak?”

Lin Mingxin looked up and asked.

“You’re not doing so well, huh?”

“You’re the weak one,” Qiu Ye turned and shouted.

“Bai Yao, are you logged in yet?”

“Coming.”

Bai Yao opened the game, resting his chin on his hand while continuing to peek at Qiu Ye out of the corner of his eye.

This guy was handsome and popular with women; there was even a pretty girl from their class trying to ask him out to go shopping.

He was definitely a straight man.

Even if the system missions were a bit over the top, there was no way Qiu Ye would send him to the proctology department.

It was safe!

Otherwise, after they had shared a bed and opened a hotel room for a cross-dressing session, his backside would have been too sore to sit down.

“By the way, when do you plan to go for your checkup? I happen to need to schedule a follow-up too,” Qiu Ye suddenly turned and asked Bai Yao.

Bai Yao, who had just been planning to keep pestering him, immediately lowered his head.

“Uh… how about Friday?”

“Sure.”

Bai Yao looked down at his phone and booked a checkup for himself on Friday.

It cost nearly 3,000 yuan, which made his heart ache.

**[It is time for your annual follow-up examination.]**

**[High blood lipids, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high uric acid… Miss Bai Yao, have your various physical indicators returned to health with the assistance of the system? Or are you secretly pulling little stunts to deceive the system? This is the Annual Big Test!]**

‘Huh? So a medical checkup can trigger a mission too?’

That obsessed woman had smoked, drank, and slept around every day, yet she actually paid attention to her health and had regular annual checkups?

**[If the medical report is normal, you will receive a reward: 500 cash.]**

‘So stingy! Only 500!’

Bai Yao rolled his eyes.

But since he had just spent thousands, and his bank card only had a two-digit balance left, getting 500 back wasn’t bad.

At least he wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink for a few days.

He felt that even if he became so poor he couldn’t afford to eat, he could always ask Qiu Ye to treat him.

“I’m online. Are you finished with that hunt?”

Bai Yao didn’t take the mission to heart.

After all, his 18-year-old body was definitely stronger than that 30-something woman’s body.

This was basically a free 500!

“Almost, almost. Join the group first.”

To Bai Yao, he was more afraid of exposing the flaws of his feminized body to a doctor and having to face their strange, judgmental gaze.

He would have to slowly mentally prepare himself over the next few days.

Fortunately, he had Qiu Ye to go with him…
