The morning sunlight gently streamed in through the gap in the curtains.
It hit the window, then the dressing table, and finally settled on a warm, soft bed.
At this moment, two beautiful girls lay entwined asleep on the bed, their hair cascading like waterfalls over the pillows.
The faint morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a delicate blush on their faces—like ripe apples, tempting one to take a bite.
Perhaps it was the sweetness of their sleeping posture that made the sun a bit jealous.
A playful ray of sunlight slipped through the curtains, landing softly on the eyelids of the girl sleeping sweetly by the bedside.
Whimper…
After all that had happened yesterday, Su Qi had slept incredibly soundly.
Now, forced awake by the sunlight, still groggy, Su Qi let out a soft, indistinct whimper.
That unintentional sound was so lovely it made listeners’ bones tingle.
But as pleasant as the voice was, upon hearing her own feminine voice, Su Qi’s drowsy consciousness suddenly began to return.
In an instant, several questions flooded her mind at once.
What’s going on? Why does my voice still sound like a girl’s?
What exactly happened after I fell asleep last night?
What’s the current situation?
And why is my chest itchy?
With so many questions and no memory at all of what happened after falling asleep, Su Qi, though physically exhausted and lacking rest, forced herself open her sleepy eyes under mental pressure.
As her eyes slowly opened, she regained her sight.
When she saw the scene before her, the lingering drowsiness vanished instantly—as if doused with cold water—and several large question marks appeared above her small head.
At this moment, in Su Qi’s vision, in front of her… no, it was in her arms… no, she was being embraced by a familiar, delicate-faced beautiful girl.
Because they were so close, Su Qi could feel every breath of Senior Lin Xue brushing against her face.
Lin Xue… how did she end up in my bed? Why am I being held so intimately by her?
From last night until now… did I really sleep together with Senior Lin Xue?
As a boy who had been solo all his life, Su Qi had never experienced such close contact with a girl.
Faced with the current situation, she couldn’t help but panic.
But soon, Su Qi began to think.
No matter what happened last night, the priority now was to separate from Senior Lin Xue!
Isn’t that how they always do it in dramas?
With this thought, Su Qi slowly propped herself up on the bed, subconsciously wanting to get up and create some safe distance.
But when she supported herself with her left hand and slightly strained her waist, Su Qi suddenly realized something.
Senior Lin Xue, still fast asleep, was sleeping terribly—treating Su Qi like a body pillow.
A pair of slender, fair hands—whether due to sleepiness or something else—were completely lost in the indescribable area beneath her white shirt.
Su Qi moved slightly; the delicate, tingling sensation of skin contact made her soft body tremble a little, and a flush bloomed on her pale face.
Feeling that uniquely feminine tingling, she looked down at Senior Lin Xue’s disheveled sleeping posture—the strap of her dress had already slipped off her fragrant shoulder.
Thinking about how last night she was held so possessively, a mix of shyness and irritation welled up in Su Qi.
Instinctively, she wanted to wake Senior Lin Xue, who was moving about in her sleep, to explain things properly.
But after raising her hand and hesitating, Su Qi quickly let it fall back down.
Why did she let go? The reason was simple.
Looking at Senior Lin Xue lying beside her, Su Qi didn’t know how to face her.
From the current situation, it seemed like last night she was taken back to Lin Xue’s home while asleep.
By rights, this whole “sharing the bed” incident was clearly arranged by Senior Lin Xue—it was her fault.
But knowing Lin Xue’s flirtatious personality, if Su Qi woke her now, she’d likely be teased mercilessly by Lin Xue’s quick tongue, and the scene would become even more awkward.
Most importantly, as a boy sleeping with Lin Xue, no matter how you looked at it, she was the one at a disadvantage.
Not knowing how to confront Lin Xue, Su Qi, after some inner turmoil, slowly lowered her hand again.
Considering that forcibly pulling Senior Lin Xue’s hand out might startle her awake, Su Qi decided instead to unbutton a few buttons of the shirt, making it easier to remove her grasp.
Having made up her mind, Su Qi lowered her head and placed both hands on the white peaks of fabric that had grown significantly higher since yesterday.
Looking at the curves under the shirt, a helpless expression appeared on Su Qi’s fair face.
When she first wore this dress yesterday, it was still flat and unremarkable.
Now, not only could she no longer see her toes when looking down, but the beautiful white valleys were clearly visible.
Ugh… the Ability only leveled up once, so why did it grow so much?!
Speaking of which… if I take off the dress and turn back into a boy, will it shrink back too??
Lost in these strange thoughts, Su Qi unconsciously managed to free herself from Senior Lin Xue’s jasmine-scented embrace.
She carefully climbed out of bed and started to inspect the room.
Looking around at the girlish decor and the uniquely feminine dressing table, Su Qi instantly knew this wasn’t her home; it must be Senior Lin Xue’s bedroom.
Not knowing where Lin Xue lived, Su Qi instinctively pulled out her phone to check the map.
But the phone showed low battery and refused to turn on.
Fortunately, Su Qi soon found a charger by the bedside.
Ding~
While charging and powering on the phone, Su Qi began to carefully examine her body.
She gently lifted her skirt and, seeing her underwear intact, sighed with relief.
Last night must have been a “pure” sleep with Senior Lin Xue—nothing happened. It must have been innocent.
After breathing out, Su Qi noticed her underwear was emptier than usual.
Suddenly, a realization dawned.
Hmmmmm, last night I was just amazed by how my Ability leveled up.
So where did that last bit of Experience come from?
With this question in mind, Su Qi opened the Ability interface’s history.
She quickly found the first purple notification.
【Ding, detection: Host successfully provided Su Wife’s Bento to a Saint Ash Rabbit cub, healing the drifting young gray rabbit’s soul. Young Saint Ash Rabbit’s favorability increased by 30; Ability Experience increased by 250 points. Current Experience (1126/1000).】
Following the purple message was a simple colored notification.
【Congratulations, host’s Su Wife Ability Experience has reached the limit. Su Wife Ability has upgraded from level 1 to 2. Please continue to use Su Wife’s power to heal the world!】
Su Qi paid little attention to the colored message—it was natural to level up when the experience cap was reached.
But the purple notification made her pause.
Saint Ash Rabbit… that name sounded vaguely familiar.
After searching her mind, Su Qi recalled an A-Level Gathering Quest above the Spirit Snake Fruit on her task panel involving the Saint Ash Rabbit.
Rumor had it the Saint Ash Rabbit was very rare, timid, and often found near treasures in the Saint Ruins.
What puzzled Su Qi was… how did this Saint Ash Rabbit cub manage to eat her bento amidst a Purple Spirit Serpent Group?
While Su Qi stared blankly at the Ability notification, her phone suddenly chimed repeatedly.
Ding dong~ ding dong~ ding dong~
With power restored, the phone booted up automatically.
The next moment, messages flooded her screen like bamboo shoots after rain.
Seeing this, Su Qi felt uneasy. She wasn’t in the habit of joining random chat groups.
Opening Tencent to see who was sending the messages, her heart skipped a beat and sweat appeared on her pale forehead.
Because the sender was none other than Elder Sister Wen Yin, the one she liked most.
Reading the messages filled with concern:
“Xiaoqi, what do you want to eat tonight? Sister will cook for you.”
“Xiaoqi, why aren’t you home so late… Xiaoqi…”
Su Qi felt immense regret.
Last night, she was so shocked by the Ability upgrade that she forgot about her phone.
Elder Sister Wen Yin, who went home yesterday waiting for her, must be very worried now!
No, she needed to quickly change and go home to explain.
Otherwise, even the gentle Wen Yin would be upset by such neglect!
But what excuse should she use?
As Su Qi hurried to the entrance, slipping her white silk-clad foot into a small leather shoe, she suddenly paused.
Hmmm… did I step in something just now?
There was no water or stain, yet why were her white stockings damp?
So strange!!!
Just as Su Qi, puzzled, stepped outside, the sound of the door closing echoed behind her.
One moment, the beautiful girl was peacefully breathing in sleep on the bed.
The next, her lively apricot-colored eyes slowly opened, without a hint of morning laziness—only undeniable excitement.
“Su Qi Junior Schoolmate, your scent is really intoxicating. I think I’m getting addicted!”
