Chapter 4: Confession

Miyamiya Nansnow thought she was just being narcissistic, but over the next few days, Bai Rou Rou’s enthusiasm toward her became excessive.

Textbooks needed for the semester, matters regarding enrollment, and the distribution of Training Uniforms—Bai Rou Rou handled all of it for her, meticulously and thoroughly.

Every time the counselor posted a task in the class group chat, Bai Rou Rou had already taken care of it for her, leaving Miyamiya Nansnow with nothing to do, so she simply played games in the dorm.

When she forgot to eat while gaming, Bai Rou Rou would bring her meals, like a thoughtful little wife.

This continued until the opening ceremony of military training.

Miyamiya Nansnow stared at the scorching sun overhead.

The Training Uniform wrapped around her body like a suffocating furnace, making her feel hot and restless all over.

She looked at Bai Rou Rou in front of her.

The oversized Training Uniform draped over the girl’s thin frame appeared loose and baggy, only clinging to her delicate figure when the breeze blew, revealing an astonishing slenderness.

After several days of living together in the dorm, Miyamiya Nansnow knew this overly enthusiastic roommate was indeed very thin and fragile.

“Can she even endure military training?”

A sudden worry crept into Miyamiya Nansnow’s heart.

Swoosh!!

At the Instructor-in-Chief’s whistle, the once orderly lineup scattered instantly, everyone rushing toward the shade.

“So hot!”

Bai Rou Rou felt dizzy and faint.

Even though she had been eating well for a month—meat and fish, nothing spared—her constitution remained weak.

She got breathless just walking, let alone running.

“Nan-nee, do you want some water?”

Despite feeling unwell, Bai Rou Rou found Miyamiya Nansnow immediately and shook her oversized thermos.

“It’s ice water.”

Miyamiya Nansnow hesitated, then nodded.

Bai Rou Rou quickly unscrewed the cap and poured a cup of ice water, handing it over.

Taking the cup, Miyamiya Nansnow brought it to her lips and felt a wave of cool air.

She drank eagerly.

“Want more?”

“Half a cup is fine.”

Miyamiya Nansnow took off her hat and tied her hair up, exposing her neck.

Bai Rou Rou, after pouring the water, immediately took out a tissue and wiped the sweat off Miyamiya Nansnow.

Stiff.

For two people who’d just met days ago, this act was a bit intimate, especially for the sensitive Miyamiya Nansnow.

She wanted to push Bai Rou Rou away and wipe herself, but a faint fragrance hit her nose, making her heart skip.

“Is this Bai Rou Rou’s scent?”

In this heat, perfume should be overpowered by sweat.

Her gaze fell on the girl before her.

Up close, she could see the long eyelashes, the small, fair face flushed from the sun, and the serious, bright eyes.

Delicate and weak, inexplicably cute.

Why did she find Bai Rou Rou so attractive?

“All done. Eh, Nan-nee, why haven’t you drunk yet?”

“Was thinking. Here.”

Miyamiya Nansnow snapped out of it and finished the ice water, then saw Bai Rou Rou pour herself a cup, drinking from the same spot Miyamiya Nansnow had.

“Was that a coincidence, or…”

Actually, Bai Rou Rou was so heat-dazed she didn’t care and drank anyway.

The coolness helped a lot.

Wait, when is the original body’s period supposed to come?

A chill of foreboding swept through her with the cold.

In her memory, the original body’s period was torturous—like knives scraping her insides.

She hadn’t had it once since transmigrating a month ago.

Could it be…

To Miyamiya Nansnow, this overly enthusiastic classmate drank water too slowly.

How could such a small cup take so long?

Blazing sun.

“Could she be savoring my saliva?”

Miyamiya Nansnow frowned.

Swoosh——!!

The Instructor-in-Chief’s whistle sounded again.

On the vast field, instructors herded the scattered students to regroup, continuing the first day of military training.

After today, instructors would lead their own classes to shaded areas for training.

At least, for this morning, they’d roast under the sun.

“So hot.”

Sweat poured in streams, soaking their clothes.

The lower half was sealed in long pants, unbearably stuffy.

Bai Rou Rou felt she couldn’t hold out.

She couldn’t even check the time—how much longer did they have to stand?

Just as Bai Rou Rou was about to collapse, a teacher seemed to appear on the podium, talking with the Instructor-in-Chief.

After a brief discussion, the students were dismissed early for lunch.

“Nan-nee, let’s go eat.”

Bai Rou Rou, carrying her thermos, wiped sweat as she walked over.

She pulled out a packet of tissues from her pocket and handed it to Miyamiya Nansnow.

“Want to wipe off sweat?”

“No.”

Miyamiya Nansnow couldn’t handle Bai Rou Rou’s constant contact.

This classmate from high school was suspicious.

“Let’s grab seats, or all the good food will be gone.”

Bai Rou Rou licked her lips subconsciously.

The tuition here was outrageous, but the cafeteria food was great.

The two of them went to the cafeteria, ate quickly, then returned to the dorm exhausted.

“Braised pork is so good.”

Bai Rou Rou sighed.

“But my favorite saury was already gone. The crispy fried fish bones are delicious.”

Miyamiya Nansnow stayed silent, appearing to listen but secretly pondering Bai Rou Rou’s motives.

They’d known each other less than a week.

Why was Bai Rou Rou so nice to her?

Being high school classmates wasn’t enough—after all, they barely knew each other in three years.

“Whew~ So cool!”

She turned on the air conditioner.

The chill dispelled all the heat instantly.

“Bai Rou Rou.”

Miyamiya Nansnow suddenly called.

“Hm?”

Bai Rou Rou was taking off her pants—the stuffy Training Uniform was unbearable—and turned to look.

“Do you like me?”

Miyamiya Nansnow dropped the bomb.

She believed in facing things directly.

Hiding only drained her.

“Ah?”

Bai Rou Rou froze.

The pants she was removing fell around her ankles, exposing her slender legs and the white underwear beneath.

She was about to deny it when a thought struck.

Her tasks were all linked to Miyamiya Nansnow.

She’d been racking her brain for ways to complete them.

All the ingratiating efforts so far had only moved the progress bar by two points; the hidden Suffering Points hadn’t budged.

But if she liked Miyamiya Nansnow, wouldn’t everything make sense?

“Nan-nee! I really like you!”

The girl rushed over, excitement in her voice.

“Did Nan-nee sense my feelings?”

So it was real.

Miyamiya Nansnow frowned, instinctively wanting to back away, but that faint, intoxicating fragrance made her waver.

She snapped out of it only when the girl’s head pressed into her chest.

“I’ve had a secret crush on you since high school. Now we’re in the same university, same major, same dorm—it’s fate!”

The girl’s eyes sparkled, her slender body seeming to melt into Miyamiya Nansnow’s embrace.

At that moment, Cai Jinger opened the door.

A slender girl in an oversized Training Uniform clung to Xue Xue, her long legs bare.

“What are you doing!”
