After two months away, Ji Yueniang gazed at her familiar single bed and leaped onto it in excitement, only to be choked by a noseful of dust.
She swept the floor, wiped the desk, mopped the floor, changed the bedsheets and the three-piece bedding set, then borrowed some oxalic acid from the dorm manager to thoroughly scrub the toilet that hadn’t been used in two months.
After this thorough cleaning, Ji Yueniang lay contentedly on her single bed, inhaling the faint scent of mint, her mood exceptionally cheerful.
Not long after, the other two in the dorm also dragged their suitcases in—Hu Li and Yao Shiming. They didn’t arrive separately, but together.
Hu Li’s suitcase was even carried up to the 8th floor by Yao Shiming.
After two months apart, Yao Shiming seemed to have grown even taller, almost touching the 1.8-meter mark. His skin was even more tanned, and he exuded the vibrant aura of a sunny young man, radiating masculine charm.
Hu Li, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. He hadn’t gotten any shorter, but his skin had grown even whiter and more tender. After climbing eight flights of stairs in one go, a pair of adorable rosy blushes bloomed on his pale cheeks, and his chest heaved from the intense exercise, as if, beneath his clothes, there were two small buns hidden away.
Hu Li was drinking the bottled water handed over by Ji Yueniang, gulping down half a cup. Sensing someone’s gaze skimming over his body, he put down the cup and looked at the other party.
“Lao Ji, is there something on my face?” Hu Li reached out to touch his face, frowning as he asked.
“No, no.”
Ji Yueniang shook her head repeatedly, but her gaze slid down from his neck, vaguely seeing that fair and soft neckline, and the snow-white skin faintly visible in that shallow hollow, making her breath hitch. For a split second, a certain image flashed in her mind.
Dammit!
Why does my roommate look more and more like a girl the more I look at him?
Don’t tell me there’s more than one silver coin…!!
“Lao Hu, do you like eating cotton candy?” she suddenly asked, trying to sound casual.
“Cotton candy? Not really.”
“Have you ever picked up any particular silver coin with mysterious effects?”
“Silver coin? Is it worth money?!”
“Uh… not really. I mean, have you ever run into a green-haired little boy?”
“That’s even less likely,” Hu Li replied.
He turned to look at Ji Yueniang, his gaze skimming over her ear-length short hair, over the now softer, less angular features of her face, and then down to the slight rise and fall of her chest. Even though Ji Yueniang wore the largest size T-shirt, the shape and curve there could still be vaguely discerned.
Finally, his gaze fell to her long legs, slightly closed and tilted inward, forming a slender, graceful line.
A trace of puzzlement flashed through Hu Li’s eyes.
How strange. It’s only been two months, but Lao Ji seems to have changed so much. Could it be that Lao Ji is also…
He opened his mouth to speak, but remembering there was a third person in the dorm, he swallowed his words, shooting Ji Yueniang a knowing look.
The third person in the dorm, “Yao Shiming”: ???
He first looked at Ji Yueniang, who sat upright and demurely on the bed with her legs together, then glanced at Hu Li, who’d just finished half a cup of water, cheeks a little flushed, even winking at Ji Yueniang.
Hu Li, Ji-ge, what kind of cryptic game are you playing? Didn’t we agree that there should be no secrets among brothers?
Brothers are supposed to be heart-to-heart, but you two are playing mind games.
“Um… guys, how was your summer break? Tell us about it!” Ji Yueniang brought up a new topic.
She had no choice—she felt that Hu Li seemed to have noticed something and had just thrown her a little glance, as if saying, “Don’t be nervous, I understand your situation.”
As for Yao Shiming, he glanced at Hu Li, then shifted his gaze to her, eyes sweeping back and forth over her legs, as if trying to figure something out.
Her sitting posture was perfectly fine—super proper, honed by countless corrections from Jiang Chi.
If he kept looking like that, she might not be able to stop herself from giving him a couple of solid punches.
“These past two months I worked as a waiter in a bar and met a big sister. She even said she wanted to make me her godbrother.” Sensing Ji Yueniang’s awkward predicament, Hu Li took the initiative to answer.
“Oh? What about you, Lao Yao?” Ji Yueniang picked up the topic and tossed it to Yao Shiming.
Withdrawing his gaze from his two roommates, Yao Shiming felt there was something they were hiding from him, but couldn’t quite figure it out. All he could do was shift his attention to what they were just talking about.
“Me? I went mountaineering and traveling, joined a summer camp, basically tried everything fun. Strangely, my childhood friend hasn’t bothered me these past two months, so I got some real peace for once.”
At this, Yao Shiming couldn’t help but feel a bit confused.
“What’s the deal between you and your childhood friend?”
“Not much. I saved her when we were kids, and she’s followed me around ever since, calling me Brother Yao. After a series of events, when we grew up she said, by name, she wanted to marry me.”
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something, his face twitching slightly. “And now she’s taller than me. She’s only 18, already racing past 1.8 meters, a proper ‘big sis’ type.”
“What’s wrong with a ‘big sis’? The big sister I met working these past two months is the big sis type—fair skin, beautiful, long legs, always gave me special attention, tips, called me ‘little brother’. I suspect she’s into me.” Hu Li slipped in quietly.
“Lao Yao, if you run into such a great childhood friend, just accept her. Otherwise, if she suddenly falls from the sky one day, you’ll be crying with no one to complain to.”
Yao Shiming’s mouth twitched. He glanced down at the wallpaper on his phone and muttered.
“But I don’t like her.”
The topic continued for a while, then the three started gaming together. Around half past five, they went out for dinner together. After eating in the cafeteria, they received a class meeting notice.
As night fell and a gentle breeze blew, the three finished their meeting and walked shoulder to shoulder across the empty sports field.
The lights around the field were dim and soft, stretching their shadows long across the ground.
Ji Yueniang glanced at her phone, hands in her pockets, and was the first to break the silence: “Why hasn’t Lao Luo replied yet? Do you guys know what day he’s coming back? The homeroom teacher’s nagging about the dorm registration sheet.”
Yao Shiming kicked at a small stone under his foot. “Don’t worry, Lao Luo is a pervert. Either he’ll be back tomorrow or the day after, or he’s stuck in Hawaii bewitched by some pretty girls and won’t be back for a week or two.”
The usually silent Hu Li looked up at Yao Shiming, then his gaze fell on Ji Yueniang’s round, melon-seed-shaped face. A strange look flashed in his eyes, as if he was lost in thought.
*****
Hawaiian Islands, inside a luxurious tourist hotel.
In a dim corridor, a big-sisterly woman in a sexy three-piece swimsuit walked gracefully forward. Having just finished swimming, her waterfall-like long hair was damp and disheveled, silky ends still dripping crystalline droplets of water.
The droplets, like broken pearls, slid down her smooth, jade-like neck, disappearing into her alluring collarbone, outlining a swirling, seductive image.
She carried a beautifully arranged sushi box in her hand, wearing a pair of cute pink-and-blue slippers, heading toward a room.
Creak~
The door was gently pushed open. The first thing to greet the eyes was a finely crafted pure-silver cage. Every silver bar was polished smooth and shiny, reflecting an enchanting and cold brilliance under the dim lights—a vision of beauty.
Inside the cage, a handsome boy dressed up as a little shota curled up in a corner, trembling with fear.
His limbs and neck were shackled with heavy chains, each end welded to the cage, restricting his movement. Upon hearing the door open, his already tense body shivered even more violently in fear, like a startled little deer.
“Darling, time to eat.”
The big sis’s voice was gentle, but carried a trace of irresistible authority and doting indulgence. Her eyes revealed complex emotions—a mix of affection, control, and the excitement of conquest.
She leaned down slightly, offering the sushi through the iron bars. Her brightly polished nails tapped gently against the metal, the corners of her mouth lifting into a subtle smile. In the dim light, that smile appeared all the more mysterious and alluring.
