After the Tea Party ended, Lin Sheng enjoyed a period of peaceful daily life.
Of course, this was mainly thanks to what Serveyia said—that Miss Lin Ya was busy with her own research and had no time to teach Lin Sheng for the time being.
This allowed Lin Sheng to truly experience what it meant to live the carefree life of a rice bug.
Serveyia, though sharp-tongued, didn’t interfere much with Lin Sheng’s daily routine.
Even if Lin Sheng stayed holed up in the e-sports room of Qingli Hall playing games all day, Serveyia wouldn’t say much.
The only price was that Serveyia would watch over him 24 hours a day without a break.
On this point, even though Lin Sheng had repeatedly requested some personal space, each time Serveyia rejected him with all sorts of reasons.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Lin Sheng got lazy and stopped arguing.
After all, Serveyia’s appearance suited his aesthetics, and since she only watched silently from behind without nagging, he decided to treat her as a living figurine.
To be honest, this happy and carefree time almost made Lin Sheng think he was still that ordinary male college student.
But the sudden arrival of his period reminded him that he was now an undeniable girl.
Thanks to his wealth of theoretical knowledge, Lin Sheng didn’t panic much when his period came.
Moreover, his body type seemed to be one that didn’t suffer much pain, which was a good thing.
However, the downside of having zero practical experience was that Lin Sheng had no idea how to handle the situation.
In the end, it was Serveyia who noticed the abnormality and, with a sigh, patiently explained what “period” really meant, what to do when facing it, and even personally helped Lin Sheng change his sanitary products.
To ensure he learned, Serveyia even gave a hands-on lesson.
“Se-Serveyia, isn’t it unnecessary to go into such detail?”
“If it’s not detailed enough, it won’t do.”
“This is directly related to your health, little fox. I can’t be careless about this.”
Serveyia didn’t pause in her actions and looked at me with her signature mischievous expression.
“Or do you want me to help you change every time in the future?”
“F-Forget it, I’ll do it myself.”
If even such things required Serveyia’s guidance, Lin Sheng felt he was no different from an immature child.
As an adult, his dignity couldn’t accept such a result.
“Then be good and learn. If you don’t master it after this explanation, I won’t be polite next time.”
Although Serveyia threatened like this, honestly, it wasn’t that difficult.
After all, these were just the most basic life skills—there was no reason not to learn them.

Meeting his parents was a whole different kind of chaos.
Although Lin Sheng had often called his parents during this period, he had never done a video call.
To be honest, although his parents had already seen him become a girl during the Inauguration Ceremony, Lin Sheng still lacked the courage to face them directly.
But since his parents were coming, Lin Sheng was still happy—he just didn’t know what posture to take when facing them.
So he kept pestering Serveyia about what kind of clothes he should wear.
At first, he wanted to wear something more unisex, trying to prove he was still the old Lin Sheng.
But this proposal was mercilessly rejected by Serveyia, who picked out a Lolita for him.
“N-No, Serveyia; I’m meeting my parents. Isn’t it unnecessary to dress so… formal?”
“Absolutely not. Little fox, you’re so cute now. Wearing such plain clothes would be a waste of your beauty.”
“But I can’t meet my parents dressed like this, can I? I was their son before. Now, looking like this… is it really okay?”
“Of course, it’s fine. Not to mention how you look now, even if you wore a burlap sack, you’d still be beautiful. Since clothing can’t hide your charm, you might as well dress nicely and feel happier, right?”
Serveyia didn’t bother listening to Lin Sheng’s excuses.
She simply started changing his clothes.
“Besides, your parents already know you’ve become a girl. There’s no need to hide it anymore. And…”
“And what?”
“And—I like it!”
“W-What does your preference have to do with this!”
Serveyia’s words made Lin Sheng blush, but then, as if remembering something, he quickly spoke.
“Wait, when I meet my parents, are you coming along too?”
“Little fox, is your memory really that bad? Close Maid, Close Maid—do you think I wouldn’t go with you?”
“But, but, why do you have to come when I’m meeting my family?”
It felt like having a classmate suddenly show up at a family gathering.
It wasn’t quite as invasive as a stranger, but it was still a bit unsettling.
If his parents started pestering Serveyia with endless questions, and Serveyia let slip some embarrassing things about him, Lin Sheng couldn’t guarantee his parents wouldn’t nag him endlessly.
“Don’t worry, little fox.”
“Considering your parents might have questions about Saint Laia, I think it’s necessary for me to be there to explain.”
