Chapter 8: Still Not Used to a Girl’s Life

I hadn’t started looking yet, but in the empty wardrobe, I spotted a few pairs of panties in different colors.

“Ugh,” the girl shyly picked one up.

It was my first time touching something that a girl wears…

The soft texture in my hands made Su Xiaoxiao’s body tremble slightly.

Not just the first time touching it—seeing it was a first too.

“Well, I’m going to take a shower now.”

I didn’t know who I was speaking to, but suddenly my mouth felt dry, and I cleared my throat.

I was a little excited.

Honestly… um, let me be clear—I’m not some pervert.

This was out of necessity, and since the original owner hadn’t eaten for so long and suffered, this was compensation!

Compensation—it definitely was compensation!

“Alright, time to get started.”

Holding the clothes I’d change into tonight in one hand, I stepped into the narrow bathroom.

Facing the mirror, the white-haired girl, as beautiful as a goddess, reflected back at me.

Some kind of moisture gathered on my lips—I didn’t know what it was.

“Sorry…”

I felt deeply apologetic as I slowly closed the door and placed my hand on the hem of the clothes.

Whoosh.

(The girl’s shower time begins)

………

“The bubbles seem to be gone now, should be done.”

Although I half-covered my eyes, the girl’s exquisite figure still appeared in my vision, making me flustered.

At first, I washed with my eyes closed, but feeling the soft touch of my fingertips against her skin was even more tantalizing than seeing a glimpse.

Mainly, my imagination ran wild. Closing my eyes was worse.

Although opening them didn’t make much difference…

“Whatever, I’ve already seen it anyway.”

I slowly lowered my hand from my eyes and reached for the clothes hanging on the rod above.

“Ugh…”

Seeing the full view, Su Xiaoxiao’s face quickly flushed like a blooming red flower.

“This… now this is me, it’s nothing.”

It was late at night, and it wouldn’t be good if my blood pressure suddenly spiked and I collapsed.

After a mental struggle, I barely managed to pull the school uniform over my slender frame.

You ask why I didn’t wear pajamas?

It was because this was more convenient.

I could leave as soon as I woke up in the morning.

Plus, the weather wasn’t cold now, so it was fine.

“Phew~”

After getting dressed, I stepped outside, taking deep breaths of the cool air.

It calmed my mood—felt comfortable!

The girl washed up on the balcony, and after finishing everything, returned to bed.

Flipping through my phone, it was empty—nothing at all.

But a few messages had come through on QQ.

“Beep,” I tapped on the penguin app icon, and a few red dots popped up on the blank screen.

【Sister Ye】: Why didn’t you come today? You don’t want to work anymore? Don’t think you can act high and mighty just because you look better. If you don’t want to work, then leave quickly. 22:30

Looking at the time, it was sent just as I was taking a shower.

“Not coming, acting high and mighty, leave?”

I had no idea who sent the message, so I didn’t understand the meaning, but the tone was clearly unhappy.

Staring at the screen, a big invisible red question mark popped above my head.

I hadn’t even done anything, and she was already telling me to leave.

Leave where?

Also, the whole ‘Sister’ thing seemed unfriendly to me.

Suddenly, the word “leave” felt light compared to what she probably meant.

It should have been, “Bitch, get lost,” right?

But since I’m not even female, I wasn’t angry.

I didn’t want to reply, so I exited QQ and prepared to rest.

“Ah no, there are still a few messages, I forgot.”

I hurried back and saw the rest were all from Mu.

[Mu]: Remember to introduce yourself tomorrow. I’ll be watching nearby.

[Mu]: Get some rest, and be at school before 7:30. 22:05

“The teacher actually cares about me.”

Seeing the caring words from my former homeroom teacher, a rare warmth stirred inside my lonely heart.

[.]: Okay! Thank you, teacher.

I wouldn’t reply to that person, but the teacher must be answered.

“She’s probably asleep already, it’s so late. I should get some rest too.”

I lingered in the friends list for a while, feeling bored, then turned off the screen.

The original owner was pitiful—no friends, just like me before.

“But she’s so pretty, why is this happening? I don’t get it.”

A trace of worry appeared on the girl’s delicate face.

“Don’t know, going back to sleep.”

After confirming the door and curtains were securely closed, I set the alarm on my phone and pulled the covers over my head.

Hope there’s chicken drumsticks in my dream—I want to eat.

And so, a brief but fulfilling day passed.

***

The next morning, Su Xiaoxiao was awakened not by the bright sunlight, but by the annoying sound of her phone alarm.

“Ugh…”

I opened my eyes, still tired.

The alarm next to me kept making noise.

“So annoying.”

Without hesitation, the sleepy girl reached out and pressed the phone hard, silencing it immediately.

I’d slept more than seven hours but still felt drowsy… yesterday was exhausting.

“No way, I can’t be late.”

Thinking of meeting new classmates today, I immediately jumped out of bed and rushed to wash up and take care of things.

The whole process took less than fifteen minutes.

Actually, this was slow.

Before, it wouldn’t even take eight minutes, but I still wasn’t used to this body.

I was too fragile—everything felt like it lacked strength.

“As for the phone, I probably can’t bring it.”

Looking at the phone on the bed, I thought.

The school rules didn’t allow students to bring phones, and this was one of my most important possessions.

I couldn’t risk it being confiscated.

So in the end, I didn’t bring my phone outside.

Once outside, the stairs and the street scenes felt more comfortable in the daylight than at night.

Then, because of a lapse, Su Xiaoxiao forgot one extremely important thing.

“Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to Xiamo No. 3 High School?”

On the nearly empty street, a white-haired girl with a backpack anxiously asked a passerby.

How could she have forgotten this yesterday?

She’d instinctively thought going to school was an ordinary thing!

“Oh, go out of this street, turn left to a crossroad, then turn right and look for a bus stop called Summer’s End Stop. The school is nearby.”

An elderly woman patiently explained the route to Su Xiaoxiao, but saying so much at once was hard for her to understand.

“Thank you.”

I just had to give it a try.

Crossroad…

Indeed, there was a crossroad ahead on this street.

“The place where I bought the buns yesterday!”

Backpack on, Su Xiaoxiao started a short morning sprint that didn’t quite match her delicate girl appearance.
