Bai Yao and Long Ziyi’s relationship progressed quickly.
Over these nine days, she hadn’t started school yet, and Long Ziyi hadn’t gone back to work either, so Bai Yao went to Long Ziyi’s place almost every day to mooch a meal.
Once her period was over, they’d have some drinks appropriately, and after several times, they quickly became close, turning into bosom buddies who talked about everything.
Same-sex attraction?
They talked about everything, but mostly about men and lewd topics.
Bai Yao was reserved at first, but gradually she was assimilated by Long Ziyi.
However, school was about to start.
“I won’t come tonight. School registration is tomorrow.”
“I was thinking of making grilled fish today~”
Bai Yao sent an apologetic emoji and lazily stretched.
At that moment, she was lying upside down on the bed, her bare legs straight against the wall, forming a ninety-degree angle with her body.
Senior said this could make her thighs thinner.
Although she felt it didn’t seem to work much?
Qiu Ye came out of the bathroom.
“I’m going back to the dormitory tonight.”
“Tonight? Registration isn’t until tomorrow?”
“All my roommates are already in the dorm.”
Qiu Ye glanced at Bai Yao’s fair, bare thighs, wanting to look but too shy to stare, and averted his eyes evasively.
“Besides, Auntie is coming tomorrow. If she finds out we’re living together, won’t she beat me to death?”
“That’s true…”
Her mother was coming to handle procedures for Bai Yao, to change the gender in her files.
Bai Yao sighed with a headache, wondering how the counselors would look at her after learning about her situation.
Would it become known to everyone, making all her classmates aware that she was already a girl?
Although she barely interacted with the counselors, and her classmates had long been used to her cross-dressing.
“Leaving later?”
Bai Yao put her legs down, turned over and sat duck-style on the bedding.
“How about ordering grilled fish and drinking some alcohol to celebrate the start of school?”
She had just heard that Senior was planning to make grilled fish, which made her really crave it.
“Drinking again?”
Qiu Ye rolled his eyes at her.
“Learning bad habits fast—you’ve only known Senior for a few days?”
“It’s different, different~ Senior and I just have a few drinks, I’ve never gotten drunk!”
“That’s true…”
Qiu Ye accompanied Bai Yao to Senior’s house every time.
He didn’t want to be as naive as Bai Yao, lowering his guard after just a few words.
He always felt Bai Yao was too beautiful, and others might have ill intentions toward his girlfriend.
But after a few days, he felt that Senior really didn’t seem like a bad person.
“Then I’ll leave in the evening?”
Qiu Ye put down the clothes in his hands and stood up.
“Don’t order takeout for the grilled fish. I’ll go buy it downstairs.”
“Okay~ Also bring back a case of beer~”
“Alcoholic, and you have the nerve to tell me not to drink.”
Qiu Ye muttered as he went out.
Hearing the sound of the door closing, Bai Yao lazily lay back down on the bed.
Mother was coming tomorrow~ What if she asked where Bai Yao got the money to rent a place?
And the place was so messy, Mother would definitely keep criticizing and nagging…
If things couldn’t be done in one day and Mother had to stay, would she have to share a bed with her?
Bai Yao hadn’t slept in the same bed as her mother since elementary school~
Bai Yao was an anxious person.
Thinking like this, she bounced up from the bed, hurriedly ran into the bathroom, and came out with a broom, mop, and cloth.
She had to clean again!
Scrub the toilet!
All items should be neatly arranged!
The little ornaments on the table were covered in dust!
The bathroom faucet was full of limescale!
The gaps between tiles were turning black!
She had been too rough with cleaning on ordinary days; her mother would definitely scold her!
About half an hour later, Qiu Ye entered with the grilled fish and a case of beer, only to see Bai Yao lying on the floor, carefully wiping the tile gaps with a cloth.
“What are you doing? Being so diligent today?”
As he passed by, Qiu Ye gave Bai Yao’s raised butt a kick.
Bai Yao stumbled from the kick, almost bumping her head on the ground.
She looked up with wide eyes.
“Go clean! Otherwise, when my mom comes, she’ll definitely scold me!”
“Isn’t this clean enough?”
Qiu Ye looked around and really couldn’t find any flaws.
Although it was indeed a bit dirtier than Senior’s place?
“Go scrub the toilet! I already poured in the toilet cleaner.”
“Let me set up the grilled fish first.”
“Hurry, hurry!”
Qiu Ye quickly placed the grilled fish on the iron rack and lit the complimentary alcohol lamp.
After smelling the spicy aroma, he reluctantly entered the bathroom.
When he finished scrubbing the toilet and came out, he saw that Bai Yao was already eating.
He quickly stepped forward.
“Eating alone, huh? Give me a bite~”
Qiu Ye cooperatively opened his mouth wide.
Bai Yao picked up a piece of fish, blew on it a couple of times, and stuffed it into Qiu Ye’s mouth.
“Good, right?”
“Not bad. The shop I chose didn’t disappoint my trust.”
Only then did Qiu Ye sit down next to Bai Yao, opened two bottles of beer, chugged half a bottle each, and let out a long sigh.
“I’ve been eating too well lately. I feel like I’ve gained weight.”
Bai Yao was startled and sucked in her slightly bloated belly.
She seemed to have gained weight too…
It was all because of Senior Brother’s good cooking!
And Senior Sister invited her to eat every day!
“I’ll just start eating lighter food from tomorrow.”
Bai Yao pretended not to care.
“Senior Sister said she wants to save up some money and open a small restaurant with Senior Brother in the future.”
“That’s great, isn’t it?”
“Yeah… how nice~”
Bai Yao rested her chin on her hand, her cheeks bulging as she chewed the fish tofu that came with the grilled fish.
“What about us?”
She seemed to have no goals, nothing she wanted to do.
Qiu Ye asked, “Do you want to open a shop too?”
“No… I don’t want anything.”
Bai Yao asked back, “What about you?”
“Me? In the future, I’ll buy a house and just want a good nine-to-five job. Healthy and happy, with a wife, kids, and a warm bed.”
Hadn’t nine-to-five used to be a synonym for hardship?
How did it become Qiu Ye’s dream?
“Xianyu! Do you understand dreams? Do you have any dreams? Tell me loudly!”
Qiu Ye slapped his thigh.
“I want a daughter!”
Bai Yao was speechless for a moment, then continued eating the grilled fish, imagining the life Qiu Ye described.
Indeed~ owning a house, being healthy and happy was enough.
As for a daughter… we’ll see, we’ll see.
Bai Yao just hoped not to repeat the mistake of that Chinyu from the future.
“The new home doesn’t need to be big, but we definitely need an e-sports room.”
“How about getting a bathtub too?”
Qiu Ye continued fantasizing about their future home.
“I also want to raise a dog, like a German Shepherd, something handsome.”
“I heard bathtubs are hard to clean? Then I want to raise a cat. A Munchkin cat is cute.”
“Hard to clean is better than not having one. I like Maine Coons, majestic.”
After two bottles of beer, Bai Yao’s face was flushed red, and her pupils were blurred and unfocused.
Her upper body swayed slightly as she raised her hands high and gestured.
“And a 100-inch projector! Watching movies in the bedroom at night!”
“Projector is good, also great for gaming.”
Qiu Ye imagined Bai Yao snuggling against him, the two of them half-lying on the bed in the master bedroom, watching movies and playing games on the big screen, with a big dog and a big cat dozing lazily at their feet, and their daughter sleeping soundly in a cradle…
Suddenly, Bai Yao’s head drooped down and rested on Qiu Ye’s shoulder.
“Your alcohol tolerance is so bad?” Qiu Ye glanced at the empty bottles on the table in confusion.
“Time to sleep~”
“Sleeping is sleeping… why are you taking off your clothes?”
“What are you doing! Don’t touch randomly! Are you a Chinyu!”
