The sun was bright and flowers were in full bloom, but Su Mengyao had no mood to appreciate them. She stood by the campus flowerbed, under the shade of a tree, watching the corridor of the teaching building ahead. From the stairs, a tall girl with a cold expression walked down. In her arms, she carried a white-haired girl.
‘White hair…’
“Put me down! I can walk on my own, I won’t run away!”
Jiang Cheng was still struggling uselessly. Lin Shuangxue didn’t react at all.
“Just put me down, okay?”
Seeing that toughness didn’t work, Jiang Cheng decided to try softness.
“Please, pretty please~ Little Shuangxue~ Just put me down~~~”
She activated her LV3 Acting Cute and LV1 Being Adorable at full power, blinking her wide, innocent eyes, trying to awaken the last trace of conscience in the other.
But it was like casting pearls before swine. Lin Shuangxue, who hadn’t slept for two days, wasn’t taking any of it. Jiang Cheng had reason to suspect that this person in front of her wouldn’t soften at her cute act—instead, she would get more excited.
“Damn sadist, ptooey!”
Jiang Cheng muttered under her breath.
Lin Shuangxue might have heard, or maybe not. Her mind was a mess, growing more and more irritable. This agitation reached its peak when she saw the unfamiliar girl under the tree not far away.
‘They all look at me like that. How annoying! I’m not crazy. Why is everyone so scared of me? And you, Jiang Cheng! Why are you struggling! I won’t hurt you!’
“Little Shuangxue~ I really won’t run. Can you stop this…”
‘Stop it!’
“Put me down. Let’s talk properly, okay…”
‘Stop it!!!’
Lin Shuangxue wished she could grow a third hand to shut Jiang Cheng’s never-closing mouth, suffocate her to death! But what could she do now? Both hands were holding this brat. Why couldn’t she just shut up on her own? Lin Shuangxue couldn’t take it anymore. She steeled herself, suddenly bent down, and firmly pressed her lips against Jiang Cheng’s.
“Mmph!”
Jiang Cheng’s eyes flew wide open, her mind going blank in an instant. She spent all day fantasizing about getting close to girls, but she had never experienced kissing, especially not with a real beauty. Lin Shuangxue’s lips were very different from her personality. As expected, no matter how hard someone’s words, their lips were soft. Lin Shuangxue’s lips were surprisingly sticky and sweet. Her breathing was heavy and hot, as if she wanted to devour Jiang Cheng. This strong aggression made Jiang Cheng a little scared, but also a bit excited.
‘Am I a pervert too?’
She thought mournfully. In the heaving of their chests, the cool scent of Lin Shuangxue’s perfume rushed from Lin Shuangxue’s mouth straight into Jiang Cheng’s brain, turning her mind into a muddle, unable to think.
‘I’m gonna break…’
After what seemed like an eternity, Lin Shuangxue finally pulled back. As she had thought, after having her mouth sealed once, Jiang Cheng stopped resisting and nestled obediently in her arms, like a well-behaved kitten.
‘You think you can beat me?’
A strange sense of achievement even rose in Lin Shuangxue’s heart, like a child unlocking a special CG in a game. Luckily, she didn’t forget her destination. Turning around under the envious and jealous stares of a crowd of girls, she returned to the car. Who knew if they were jealous of the girl in her arms, or of the cool, mature woman, or both. An Xin followed closely, got into the car, started it, and drove away. Leaving behind a group of girls who had their fill of gossip.
“Wow, that big sister is so cool. I wish she could hold me like that…”
“Come on, look at the girl she’s holding—she’s so pretty. Can you compare?”
“You say that, but can’t I even fantasize? What do you think, Mengyao?”
“Mengyao?”
“Su Mengyao!?”
“Ahhh, what’s wrong…”
Su Mengyao snapped out of her daze. She looked flustered at the two girls with her, her eyes darting away.
“What’s wrong with you? Why have you been spacing out?”
The other girl looked at Su Mengyao with an “I think I understand” expression.
“By the way, Mengyao, you’re not a white-hair fetishist, are you? Last time you were flipping through your album, I caught a glimpse of a white-haired girl, right?”
“No, no, no…”
Su Mengyao quickly denied.
“I-I-I… I don’t like girls.”
“Oh, come on,” the other girl said. “There’s nothing wrong with liking girls. We’re at a girls’ academy, it’s totally normal.”
After saying that, she patted the girl beside her.
“Let’s go, Xiao Feng. We’ve watched the show, now let’s go move the books.”
“Let’s go.”
The two walked off into the distance, while Su Mengyao remained where she was, staring blankly in the direction the car had gone.
‘That cute white-haired girl… What relationship does she have with Bai Xue? Could it be… another form of Bai Xue?’
This thought was dismissed by Su Mengyao as soon as it appeared. Bai Xue’s transformations are human, half-human half-cat, and cat. Even in the 100% human form, she’s only about 4’7” tall. That girl just now was at least 5’3”. Bai Xue can’t possibly have a 200% human form, right?
Even so, Su Mengyao’s heart grew more and more uneasy.
‘After all, Bai Xue never said she couldn’t get bigger…’
“Hey! Mengyao, stop daydreaming! We’re leaving!”
“Oh! Okay…”
‘I’ll ask Bai Xue when she comes tonight… She wouldn’t lie to me.’
On the other side, Jiang Cheng was speechless. She had thought that once they got in the car, she would be ravaged, or at least teased a bit. But as soon as Lin Shuangxue got in, she leaned against the seat and fell asleep.
‘You jerk! You even hug me while sleeping, treating me like a pillow!’
Jiang Cheng wished she could turn around and draw two turtles on her face—no, two giant tortoises! But looking at Lin Shuangxue’s furrowed brows and her inexplicably pale face, Jiang Cheng’s heart softened.
‘Forget it.’
“You got lucky this time. Next time I have a pen, I’ll definitely draw a pig on you…”
Jiang Cheng muttered softly. She wanted to shake her little fist, but Lin Shuangxue was holding her tightly and she couldn’t move, so she gave up.
Little did she know, everything was clearly observed by An Xin in the front seat. The maid revealed an “I knew it” auntie smile, then quickly retracted it, returning to a professional smile.
“Young Miss, we’re home.”
The Lin family villa arrived quickly. An Xin opened the door, got out, and gently tapped on the rear window.
“Mm.”
The voice from behind startled Jiang Cheng. Turning her head, she saw that Lin Shuangxue had already opened her eyes at some point and was coldly looking out the window.
‘What the hell, are you a ghost? How did you suddenly wake up? Wait, or did she never sleep? She didn’t hear what I said, did she…’
Lin Shuangxue didn’t know what Jiang Cheng was thinking. She opened the door, bent down, and stepped out—still carrying the girl in her arms.
“Seriously, girl, what exactly do you want from me?”
Jiang Cheng couldn’t help asking.
“Sleep.”
Lin Shuangxue said coolly.
‘Sleep?’
Jiang Cheng was stunned, then furious.
“Damn it, you bastard! I’m not someone you can just sleep with! Show some respect…”
“One hundred thousand.”
“Deal!”
Jiang Cheng didn’t hesitate at all.
‘Why didn’t you say so earlier? If I knew there was money, I wouldn’t have resisted~’
She was delighted inside. This way, it would be easy to save up 500,000 by the end of the month to repay the debt. As long as she slept with Lin Shuangxue… pfft! As long as she comforted Lin Shuangxue’s lonely heart five times, she’d have enough to repay. Suddenly, the girl remembered something. She looked up at Lin Shuangxue.
“My little sister, she’s waiting for me to pick her up at noon. Can I first…”
“I’ll go pick her up. Miss Jiang Cheng, please rest assured.”
The maid interjected from nearby.
“Huh? Miss Maid, do you know where my sister is?”
“Of course. I will definitely bring Miss Jiang Cheng’s little sister home for you.”
