“Ugh.”
Bai Nian woke up groggily, feeling as if her head was about to explode.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she lifted the quilt and sat up.
Pulling aside the curtain, it was already pitch black outside.
The quiet rented room held only her own voice, filling her with an indescribable sense of loneliness.
“Damn, it’s six o’clock already!”
Bai Nian hurried out of bed; she still had to go out soon.
Without even putting on clothes, she rushed into the bathroom and quickly tidied her messy hair, washed her face, and instantly felt much more awake.
Back at the bed, Bai Nian picked up the clothes the system had sent and began to dress.
The white shirt was only available in size M, fitting tightly against her body—neither too big nor too small, just perfect.
“Good thing I’m not that big, or these buttons would have popped off…”
she muttered, then started putting on the skirt.
But the blue plaid mini skirt was even shorter than it looked, barely covering her knees when worn.
And there was no built-in safety shorts, which was the most frustrating part for Bai Nian.
She stood up and spun around once, feeling a cool breeze below with no sense of security at all.
“Speaking of safety shorts, I think there’s one in the wardrobe…”
Bai Nian murmured, not being some kind of pervert.
Sure enough, she found one in the corner of the closet.
Just as Bai Nian was about to put it on, the system suddenly sprang to life.
[Please do not wear any clothing unrelated to the prescribed outfit.]
“Fine, be all high and mighty. If you don’t want me to wear it, then I won’t…”
Bai Nian felt she’d seen through the system’s nature and was too lazy to argue.
She sat on the edge of the bed, picked up the stockings with letters on them, and unfolded them.
The delicate fabric felt like a layer of soft, thin gauze.
“This feels weird, kind of embarrassingly strange…”
A blush crept across Bai Nian’s pretty face.
She didn’t understand the mindset of girls, but her soul was definitely that of a boy.
Finally came the pair of black leather shoes, size 36.
She gently tapped her feet while wearing them.
At the bathroom mirror, Bai Nian looked at herself and felt she was indescribably beautiful—a true goddess.
Though she was a bit short and slightly petite…
“I really want to…”
Wait, Bai Nian, what were you just about to say?!
She quickly shook off the chaotic thoughts in her mind and prepared to leave.
Tianmu City, one of the major southern cities in the Huaxia Alliance, boasted nearly perfect infrastructure.
The livelihood was good, with no threat from feral beasts.
The official professionals had sufficient strength to maintain order here.
Therefore, no curfew was enforced at night, which made the city center lively after dark.
Yu Zishan had arranged to meet at a barbecue joint, one of the few places they often visited.
Because of Bai Nian’s family situation, Yu Zishan always avoided expensive places when meeting her, so Bai Nian wouldn’t feel guilty.
Of course, Yu Zishan quietly helped Bai Nian in many ways.
For instance, every late month when Bai Nian’s living expenses were nearly gone, Yu Zishan would find an excuse to “freeload” at her rented place.
But in reality, she always brought lots of vegetables, meat, and other supplies, supporting Bai Nian’s life in a subtle way.
The streetlights cast a dim yellow glow along the street, where cars and pedestrians passed by on the uneven road.
Yu Zishan, with her pink hair, quietly sat at a roadside stall waiting for Bai Nian.
“What, did you oversleep again, dummy?”
She was about to check her phone for the time when she looked up and saw the white-haired figure not far away.
In the crowd, Bai Nian shone like a pearl, radiating a unique aura as if she didn’t belong to this world.
The white shirt paired with the blue plaid skirt highlighted her fair skin, exuding youthful vitality like she had stepped straight out of a manga.
The black stockings on her legs added a mysterious, sexy touch.
They were silky smooth, tightly hugging her long legs and showcasing their perfect curves.
Cute and sexy combined, this contrast made Yu Zishan salivate.
“Mmm… Nian Nian Wife!”
She ran over and hugged Bai Nian tightly.
Bai Nian felt like four soft cushions collided, then her head was pressed against Yu Zishan’s shoulder.
“Sis, you smell so good!”
Yu Zishan took a deep breath, while Bai Nian helplessly rolled her eyes.
“Can you please keep your drool to yourself…”
Yu Zishan was a full 1.7 meters tall, half a head taller than Bai Nian.
She was slim, but where it mattered, she was well-proportioned.
She completely outshone Bai Nian, ranking fourth in the alphabet.
A near-perfect mature beauty, at least from an outsider’s perspective.
In Bai Nian’s eyes, her best friend was not cold and aloof but full of strange ‘clingy’ thoughts…
“Ahem, Nian Nian is too pretty today; I couldn’t hold back.”
“What happens if you can’t hold back?”
“I’ll show you the wonders of the human world~”
“2”
Suddenly, Bai Nian felt the system seemed pretty serious too.
“Let’s go, I ordered your favorite—Oysters.”
Yu Zishan said, pulling Bai Nian’s hand as they headed toward the barbecue place.
Walking behind, Bai Nian instinctively glanced at their intertwined hands.
Yu Zishan’s hand was soft, with slender, graceful fingers, completely bare of any decoration.
Her hand was beautiful and comfortable to hold, a bit larger than Bai Nian’s, with a bracelet on her wrist—one Bai Nian had once given her.
“Eh? That’s not right, I don’t like Oysters!”
Bai Nian protested as she caught on.
“They’re delicious and nourishing; Nian Nian has to obey.”
Before Bai Nian arrived, Yu Zishan had already placed the order.
Only when the food arrived did Bai Nian realize all the dishes were rather odd…
“I thought you didn’t like Grilled Leek?”
Bai Nian asked, looking at Yu Zishan’s strange expression across the table.
“Just try it,”
she said with a sly smile.
“What about Kidney? You eat such heavy-flavored stuff too?”
“Try, try.”
“Zishan, be honest with me—are you suffering from Kidney deficiency?”
Bai Nian shot a soul-searching question.
“Of course not!”
Yu Zishan’s face turned a bit unnatural as her gaze quickly shifted elsewhere.
She pouted, saying, “Girls don’t get Kidney deficiency.”
“Hm, true enough.”
Bai Nian nodded in deep agreement.
