Bai Yao~ Bai Yao.
As soon as she stepped into the teaching building lobby, Bai Yao heard someone calling from not far away.
She turned her head in confusion and saw Gu Wanwan waving at her.
Her eyes subconsciously glanced at Gu Wanwan’s chest.
Recently the temperature had risen to 20 degrees, everyone’s clothes were much lighter, and it accentuated Gu Wanwan’s figure.
‘A little envious.’
Her eyes didn’t know where to look again.
“I’ll go over for a bit.”
Qiu Ye and Bai Yao were almost inseparable, especially during class, the two always walked together.
In the new semester, Qiu Ye even picked up and dropped off Bai Yao every day.
He was especially careful when crossing the street, holding Bai Yao’s hand like he was taking care of a little kid, afraid she might dart around and get hit by a car.
“Then I’ll head upstairs first?”
“Okay.”
Seeing this, Gu Wanwan habitually put away her cold expression and walked over.
But Bai Yao was already used to this aloof face of hers, and Gu Wanwan cheerfully grabbed her arm like she was meeting a close friend.
“Huh? Are we that close?”
Bai Yao’s expression turned even colder, blinking stiffly.
“I heard you’re looking for a part-time job?”
Gu Wanwan lowered her voice and whispered in Bai Yao’s ear.
“Did that person contact you?”
Bai Yao was stunned; she couldn’t recall the name for a moment.
She lowered her head and took out her phone to check.
“Chen Jiaqi?”
“Don’t agree to it no matter what.”
Gu Wanwan stood on tiptoe and whispered in Bai Yao’s ear.
“Last time she even asked me if I wanted her to introduce me to some boss or something.”
Bai Yao’s pupils dilated.
So that’s why she only wanted my photo, right?
Guessing what she was thinking, Gu Wanwan added, “But this… it’s not really legitimate. Now everyone thinks she only looks for guys with good looks, maybe… “
“It’s illegal, right?” Bai Yao asked quietly.
“Others are doing it voluntarily, so we can’t really say anything.”
Gu Wanwan shrugged.
It was the first time Bai Yao encountered something like this.
Having been an honest person all her life, she found it hard to accept.
“How much money?” she couldn’t help but whisper.
“Ninety thousand?”
Gu Wanwan said casually.
Bai Yao suddenly understood why everyone said to protect yourself.
‘This temptation is too strong.’
“Anyway, be careful. Look for part-time jobs through legal channels, or else someone might harass you since you’re so pretty.”
Gu Wanwan warned.
“Mmm…”
Bai Yao looked down at the arm pressing against her own.
“Does that count as harassment from you?”
“Of course not! How can it be harassment between girls?”
Bai Yao originally wanted to say she was a man, but the words caught in her throat.
She wasn’t a man anymore—even that mindset seemed to have completely changed.
She fell silent.
To be honest, Bai Yao rather liked Gu Wanwan.
Especially this reminder from Gu Wanwan; she fully felt the other’s kindness.
She was always the type who, if someone treated her well, she would reciprocate without reservation… which was why she got cheated out of money by a close friend in high school.
[You made a new friend! Reward 100 Cash!]
A friend?
Bai Yao looked at Gu Wanwan with a strange expression.
Originally, Gu Wanwan seemed to like her… but now it had turned into friendship.
It felt a bit awkward.
But Gu Wanwan didn’t mind.
She pulled Bai Yao along as they walked toward the classroom, sighing:
“You look way too good in cross-dressing. I feel like you’re definitely the class beauty, maybe even the school beauty.”
“It’s not that great…”
“And you actually have boobs~”
Gu Wanwan’s gaze fell on her chest.
The thin spring sweater clung to her body, outlining a subtle curve.
Bai Yao suddenly became flustered, wanting to escape her gaze, but was firmly held by the arm.
“You and Qiu Ye—how far have you gone?” Gu Wanwan asked gossipingly.
“Just… normal friends.”
“Who’d believe that~”
Bai Yao’s cheeks flushed slightly.
“Have you kissed?”
“No…”
“Oh~ Qiu Ye isn’t your first love, is he?”
“Mhm…”
“Have you always liked boys?”
“Not really…”
Gu Wanwan was just too curious.
Bai Yao only wanted to escape quickly.
Just then, they walked into the classroom, and she breathed a sigh of relief, turning to walk toward Qiu Ye.
But the next second, Gu Wanwan grabbed her, her shoes screeching against the tiles as she was dragged straight into a group of girls.
She looked at Qiu Ye for help, hoping he would come to her rescue, but Qiu Ye just smiled as she was surrounded.
“Crap!”
The area was instantly filled with the girls’ teasing and laughter.
Bai Yao was overwhelmed, completely dizzy.
“Did she just grab your chest?!”
“Hahaha, so adorable!”
“Don’t bully her, guys.”
On the boys’ side, Wang Zuhao rested his chin on his hand, watching the scene with envious sighs.
“He gets along so well with girls… I wish I were a femboy.”
“Don’t even think about it. You’d scare people to death in cross-dressing.”
Lin Mingxin said, speechless.
Qiu Ye watched Bai Yao surrounded by girls with great interest, showing no intention of stepping in.
Chen Zhilong asked him, “Aren’t you going to save her?”
“It’s fine.”
Qiu Ye said calmly.
If before he had worried about Bai Yao being liked by others, now there was no need to worry at all.
After all, in everyone’s eyes, she was already a complete girl.
And… quite popular.
“It’s good for her to make more friends.”
Qiu Ye glanced at his roommate.
“Better than hanging around with shady people every day.”
“Who are you calling shady?” Wang Zuhao flared up.
“I didn’t name anyone. Why are you so anxious?”
“…”
“Hey, can you help me with roll call tonight?”
Lin Mingxin suddenly spoke up.
“I have a date.”
“You’re going out again? Still that senior from last time?”
Wang Zuhao was shocked.
Lin Mingxin nodded.
“This time it should work out. She said she’ll tone it down.”
Qiu Ye also spoke up.
“Then help me with roll call too?”
“Where are you going? Staying over at Bai Yao’s place?”
Wang Zuhao said with disgust.
“Can guys with partners please get out of the dorm?”
Chen Zhilong sighed.
“It’s just the two of us left to rely on each other.”
“You get out too!”
