Ever since encountering this buggy, dumbass System, Bai Yao’s life had been a bit too thrilling.
Every day, it felt like the System was behind her with a whip, lashing her butt.
The tasks never stopped.
While there weren’t any real punishments, to avoid having to ask her family for living expenses, she always tried her luck, grabbing whatever rewards she could.
She kept accepting tasks, and then one day, she discovered she had grown a uterus and could never go back.
After that, she completely became a woman, started dating Qiu Ye, rented an apartment, and got addicted to lewd activities…
Finally, Bai Yao’s life wasn’t as tense and thrilling as before.
At least the System wouldn’t make her go flirt with men anymore.
Judging by how things were, even though the System initially tried to make her cast a wide net and flirt everywhere, it seemed to be on the side of the Pure Love Faction.
But just because she had become a girl, Bai Yao couldn’t help but feel anxious about what might happen in the future.
What would her parents’ attitude be?
What would her former relatives and friends think when they saw she had turned into a girl?
Would she end up walking the path of the future the System had described?
Now that she was a girl and had a boyfriend, was it really impossible that she would…
The girl beside him frowned tightly, tossing and turning in her half-asleep, half-awake state, sleeping restlessly.
Qiu Ye had woken up early.
Lying on his side, he watched Bai Yao’s troubled face and reached out, gently covering the back of her hand with his own.
The tightly furrowed brow visibly relaxed, and only then did he feel relieved.
Today was the final exam.
He figured Bai Yao was either too anxious about the test or anxious about going home for winter vacation.
These past few days, he had noticed Bai Yao hadn’t been sleeping well, sometimes staying awake until late at night.
Qiu Ye would be so tired he could barely keep his eyes open, while Bai Yao would still be staring with red-rimmed eyes, her hands as cold as ice.
It was early January, and there had just been a significant temperature drop.
Even Qiu Ye shivered from the cold, and Bai Yao’s hands and feet were icy and purplish, even hiding under the covers didn’t help.
It was about time… 7:50 AM.
The exam started at 8:20, so they had to go.
Even though Bai Yao hadn’t fallen asleep until after 3 AM last night, and Qiu Ye had stayed up with her until 3.
“Bai Yao? Yao Yao? Honey?”
“Mmm…”
Bai Yao was a light sleeper.
After her hand was shaken and she was called a couple of times, she groggily opened her eyes.
[Miss Bai Yao~ Another sweet day for the lovebirds begins~]
[You completed Task 1 yesterday, receiving one hundred yuan in cash reward and a slight enhancement to your cardiopulmonary function. You have maintained a good long-term exercise habit!]
[You have successfully quit smoking, not taking a single puff for several months now. That’s fantastic!]
[However, you engaged in lewd activities four times yesterday. While appropriate self-pleasure can relieve physical and mental stress and regulate hormone levels, please be mindful of the frequency and number of times. Don’t harm your body.]
Bai Yao stared blankly at the big face in her field of vision and let out a huge yawn, her chin almost forming a double chin.
She had long gotten used to the System’s daily announcements in her head, but every time she saw the “lewd activities count,” she felt a bit embarrassed.
Back then, the System had encouraged appropriate lewd activities instead of holding back, but now it was advising her to restrain herself.
“What time is it?”
“Seven fifty. Get ready and head straight to school. We’ll make it.”
Bai Yao made an indistinct sound of acknowledgment, then stretched with another big yawn.
Her waist arched, lifting from the bed, her body bending like a bridge.
“Mmm…”
The soreness from stretching made her let out a soft moan.
She then relaxed, her waist sinking back onto the bed, bouncing slightly twice.
“So sleepy… We’re just going to hand in an assignment. I’ll sleep in the classroom after that.”
Calling it a final exam was a bit of a stretch; it was more like a final assignment.
Many specialized courses only required submitting work, signing in, and then waiting in the classroom until the exam period was over.
Yawning repeatedly, Bai Yao threw off the covers, only to immediately pull them back over herself.
“So cold, so cold…”
She was wearing a Totoro-themed one-piece fleece pajama set, which should have been quite warm, but stepping out from under the covers couldn’t withstand the sudden temperature drop.
“The temperature dropped. It’s only seven degrees Celsius today.”
Qiu Ye also got up, stretching.
“Alright~ Hurry up. I’ll go to the bathroom first.”
Bai Yao responded weakly.
It had been a month since they started renting this apartment.
Qiu Ye stayed over every weekend for two days.
Even though they slept in the same bed and occasionally had some intimate activities, and Qiu Ye had basically explored all the unknown territories he could, Bai Yao still firmly refused reproductive activity!
It wasn’t so much about chastity views; it was mainly about being afraid of getting addicted…
Winter vacation was coming up soon!
What if she got addicted and Qiu Ye wasn’t around?!
Thankfully, Qiu Ye wasn’t the type to be overly lustful, which made Bai Yao feel a lot more at ease.
At least it showed Qiu Ye didn’t just like her for her body.
After enduring for five minutes, Bai Yao finally managed to break free from the quilt’s seal.
Shivering, she scurried into the bathroom.
Pushing Qiu Ye, who was brushing his teeth, aside, she glanced at the toilet, hesitated for a moment, pulled down the zipper on the back of her one-piece pajamas, sat down—resolved, forceful.
“Ouch~ So cold!”
She had heard about those heated toilet seat covers, but didn’t know if they were any good.
But they wouldn’t be staying here much longer, so it didn’t seem necessary.
Like an ordinary girl, after using the toilet, Bai Yao wiped from front to back with toilet paper, zipped up, and went to the bathroom mirror.
After brushing her teeth, she looked in the mirror.
Her lips were a bit chapped from dryness.
She applied lip balm, pressed her lips together, then washed her face with facial cleanser.
Later, she’d need to spray on some hydration and sunscreen.
These were all System tasks.
The former was to prevent inflammation from not wiping properly, and the latter was a long-term skincare task.
She used to just slap on a face mask to get by, but now Bai Yao was worried she might become a yellow-faced woman in the future, so she spent a hundred yuan on proper skincare products.
“All done?”
Qiu Ye pushed the door open and took a look.
“Mm-hmm.”
After washing her face, Bai Yao felt much more awake, though sleeping too little had left her head feeling a bit foggy.
She couldn’t keep staying up late like this; dark circles were starting to appear.
But there wasn’t much she could do about not being able to sleep.
Closing her eyes as she sprayed sunscreen on her face, she asked, “Can we sleep during both exams today?”
“The English exam is in the afternoon. You could also choose to review.”
“Then I’d better review properly.”
Bai Yao took a hair tie and gathered her now shoulder-length hair into a ponytail.
Looking in the mirror, she asked, “How does it look?”
“A celestial beauty!”
Qiu Ye always provided ample emotional validation.
“I almost believed you.”
“What about me?” Qiu Ye stood up straight, ruffled his bangs, and asked.
Well, compared to how he looked right after his haircut a month ago, Qiu Ye did look much more handsome and pleasing to the eye now.
Bai Yao tilted her face up, raised her arms, and helped Qiu Ye adjust his bangs.
Satisfied, she nodded.
“A total hottie!”
“Of course!”
“What’s wrong? But don’t get a haircut next time without me watching.”
“It looked too ugly. I couldn’t bring myself to kiss you.”
Hearing this, Qiu Ye immediately made a funny, distorted, ugly expression.
“Come here and give me a couple of kisses!”
“Get lost!”
Bai Yao darted out in a flash.
While Qiu Ye was washing up, she changed into her outdoor clothes: a windcoat, trousers, and a scarf.
Her expression turned cool and detached again.
She stuffed her hands into her pants pockets and examined herself in the mirror for a moment.
Hmm…
Handsome, chic, and aloof!
