“She doesn’t know we know each other, so she thinks we might need to get to know each other.”
Su Nuo spoke from behind the door.
“We’re already familiar, so we probably don’t need to, right?”
Lin Chu Xi’s face was expressionless as she tilted her head.
“Are we really that familiar?”
“Uh…”
On second thought, it’s true.
If you say we’re not close, we’re roommates.
But if you say we’re very close, not really, since we’ve only been friends for half a month.
There’s nothing wrong with saying we’re just newly-made friends.
“I don’t think I know Su Nuo very well.”
Lin Chu Xi spoke softly.
“I don’t know what skills she has, what she’s good at, where she works during the summer, or even who she sleeps with at night.”
Obviously, they were standing face to face, but using third-person to refer sounded pretty strange.
Su Nuo asked cautiously.
“Are you okay?”
Although she didn’t know what had happened, it was a bit worrying.
“I’m fine, of course I’m fine.”
Lin Chu Xi replied lightly.
“But right now, I want to know more about Su Nuo. If it’s not possible, then forget it. I just don’t know if we can keep it from Father and Mother.”
Before Su Nuo could speak, the black long straight-haired girl added.
“If we slip up, what would happen? What would Father and Mother say? Maybe they’d be furious?”
“……”
Su Nuo’s small mouth trembled.
She wasn’t afraid of the uncle and aunt she’d never met. Well, maybe a little, but mainly she remembered a past experience—once, because the Boss delayed paying wages and she couldn’t afford the rent, the Landlord threw her out like a dog…
“So,”
Lin Chu Xi looked at her.
“Have you decided?”
Su Nuo froze for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.
This sentence felt strangely familiar, reminding her of her first day here when Lin Yingluo had said the same thing.
“Then I’m coming in.”
“Mm… hey, wait!”
She spoke too late.
Lin Chu Xi had already pushed the door open, and Su Nuo hurriedly grabbed at her clothes.
She was wearing only a thin nightgown, with a wide neckline.
Pulling it made it even more revealing, especially with the faint strawberry marks on her smooth, round chest—clear evidence left by kissing.
But she couldn’t not pull—because she wasn’t wearing panties.
Of course, she had worn them at first last night, but they’d come off later.
In her mind, Su Xiao Nuo puffed up her cheeks in displeasure.
“Why do you always give her benefits?”
“I don’t… besides, we’re both girls, so she wouldn’t feel it’s…”
Su Nuo was just thinking that, when she looked up and saw Lin Chu Xi staring at her chest.
“Lin Chu Xi, you…”
“Last night, you and Sister were intense. The marks aren’t even cleaned up.”
Lin Chu Xi said.
Su Nuo’s face flushed, but she inexplicably felt relieved.
So that’s why she was staring.
She thought so. It’s not like there are that many girls’ love stories.
“Sorry, let me change clothes first.”
There was a partition inside the bedroom.
Su Nuo walked in to change, including panties and a skirt.
“You just left her in there alone?”
Su Xiao Nuo crossed her small arms.
“Who knows what she might do, on a Battlefield Ruins.”
Su Nuo curled her lips.
“I said she’s not into girls… at least not necessarily.”
“She was just staring at your chest!”
“That’s because the marks were weird, so anyone would look a couple more times.”
Su Xiao Nuo was helpless.
“Fine, just keep washing. Someday when she pushes you onto the bed, you’ll regret it.”
“I’m not washing… whatever.”
She’d already seen it. What could she do? It wasn’t on purpose.
Nuo Nuo didn’t mean to show, and Lin Chu Xi didn’t mean to look.
Right?
A few minutes later, Su Nuo finished dressing and walked out of the partition to see Lin Chu Xi sitting properly by the bed, quietly waiting.
“Lin Chu Xi…”
“Su Nuo, you call me that? My full name?”
Lin Chu Xi suddenly interrupted.
Su Nuo froze.
“How else should I call you?”
“It doesn’t matter, but when my Father and Mother come, will you still use my full name? Or call me Sister? Or call me Yingluo Sister?”
The black long straight-haired girl tilted her head with an expressionless face.
Thinking about it, Su Nuo felt something was off.
“You’re right, but I actually call you Lin Elder Sister.”
Lin Chu Xi was silent for a moment.
“Then why don’t you call me Younger Sister Lin?”
“That’s too weird,”
Su Nuo laughed.
“How about Xixi instead?”
She thought this would be fine.
Between close friends, there’s no need to be reserved—call as intimately as you want.
For people really in a relationship, calling too intimately feels embarrassing.
“Right, right, call her Xixi,”
Su Xiao Nuo hummed in her mind.
“Then at night, call Lin Yingluo ‘yingying’.”
Su Nuo ignored her, but Lin Chu Xi accepted readily.
“That does sound like close friends.”
“I think so too. By the way, Xixi, you said you wanted to get to know me better. What did you want to know?”
At these words, Lin Chu Xi chuckled.
“Su Nuo… right, I’ll call you Nuo Nuo too. You know, I’ve been in the same dorm as Nuo Nuo for three years, but only learned two weeks before vacation that you could fix computers, a week ago that you’re not picky with food, and just yesterday that you could cook.”
Su Nuo rubbed her hands awkwardly.
“I just didn’t have a chance to show before.”
What could she do? She’d only just arrived less than a month ago.
Before that, it was always Xiao Nuo, and Xiao Nuo couldn’t do anything.
In her mind, the little cute girl sneezed, not knowing why.
“Alright, then tell me why you were on Sister’s bed,”
Lin Chu Xi suddenly asked.
“And didn’t you say you were going to work?”
Su Nuo’s little heart pounded, guilt rising.
“At first, I was working, helping out with some things—odd jobs. Then, for some reasons, we ended up together.”
Or in other words, sleeping together.
All because the rain was too heavy that day, the thunder too loud, and the main bedroom’s electric box tripped.
“What reason? Love?”
“……”
While Su Nuo was wondering how to answer, Lin Chu Xi suddenly laughed.
“Alright, Nuo Nuo, just joking. I didn’t want to know that much.”
Looking at the suddenly smiling girl, Su Nuo felt a bit lost.
Just now, for a moment, Lin Chu Xi’s pressure had soared, almost to the level of meeting Lin Yingluo for the first time—like being caught by a girlfriend in the act.
Which one was real?
Speaking of which, talking to Su Xiao Nuo often felt like being arrested by a little girlfriend, and now being questioned by Lin Chu Xi felt like being arrested by a girlfriend, too.
How many girlfriends did she have?
Thankfully, it was all just an illusion—not real.
“Alright, now it’s your turn,”
Lin Chu Xi said.
“If you have anything you want to know, just ask me.”
Su Nuo thought for a moment.
“Yesterday, the Commemorative Coin you used to flip, where did it come from?”
