“Ah Qi, see you tomorrow.”
After attending an open class in the afternoon,
compared to other classes that had already awakened their abilities, Class 18 still had to keep studying.
As the tail-enders, all classes for today had finally ended for them.
Walking with his good deskmate Mo Yu to the bus stop near the academy and seeing him on the bus, Su Qi finally headed home.
Su Qi’s home wasn’t far from Spiritual Martial University; in fact, it was very close.
Before Su Father and Su Mother disappeared exploring the Saint Ruins, they had specially purchased a 120㎡ three-bedroom apartment near the university to accommodate Su Lulu and Su Qi’s schooling.
Every day, Su Qi only needed to walk 15 minutes to get home, avoiding the inconvenience of dorm life.
But Su Qi still felt some resistance to the choice of this property.
After all, from elementary school through high school, Su Qi had always lived in dorms.
As a boy, he had hoped that college life would give him a taste of dorm freedom, away from family constraints.
But what left Su Qi feeling helpless… was everything that had happened these past few years.
His parents had disappeared exploring the Saint Ruins, and his own sister—who had awakened a powerful ability—was now trapped in a curse-induced coma.
This kind of freedom and restriction had arrived so suddenly and confusingly.
Sometimes fate really doesn’t make sense.
Beep~
Su Qi stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the 15th floor.
Muyang Community was a mid-rise building with a total of 23 floors.
Feeling the centrifugal force as the elevator rose, his eyes followed the floor indicator climbing higher.
Su Qi couldn’t help but envy Lin Xue’s carefree demeanor as she fluttered her wings last night.
If only he had a bloodline ability like hers—it would be so much easier to just fly home.
Lost in thought, the elevator quietly reached the 15th floor.
At the door marked 1507, Su Qi took out his key and opened it.
Creak The door slowly swung open.
Behind it was a bright, tidy space that instantly caught the eye.
The first thing to greet him was the white porcelain tiles adorned with exquisite patterns, polished to a mirror-like shine that reflected the surrounding light, making the entire room glow.
The tables, sofa, and coffee table in the living room were all neatly arranged without a trace of clutter.
Items on the desk were orderly—files, books, stationery—each in its place, waiting for their owner’s use.
The cushions on the sofa and coffee table were perfectly aligned without a single crease, offering a cozy, warm feeling.
Beyond the neatness, the air carried a faint, clean fragrance—not the strong scent of perfume, but a fresh, natural cleanliness, like sun-dried laundry, calming and uplifting.
Seeing such a clean, well-kept room, Su Qi—who had experienced so much today and felt mentally exhausted—couldn’t help but feel a quiet sense of pride.
Though he felt a little embarrassed and mildly disdainful about his awakened “Su Wife Ability,” as a proper boy,
he couldn’t deny that after transforming into his Su Wife persona and putting on women’s clothes, his housekeeping skills were 100% authentic.
To put it simply, this 120㎡ apartment felt huge and empty living alone, but under the influence of his Su Wife Ability’s tidying, it somehow radiated warmth and comfort.
Closing the door behind him, Su Qi changed into a pair of slippers.
Exhausted from the day’s events, he collapsed onto the sofa.
Feeling his body slowly sink into the cushions, wrapped in the comforting embrace of the sofa, Su Qi couldn’t help but squint his eyes in contentment.
But before he could enjoy even a minute of rest,
Rumble~
His stomach growled loudly—a protest after skipping breakfast and having a poor lunch.
Hearing the reminder, the hungry Su Qi sat up from the sofa.
Normally, when hungry, he would just order takeout for convenience.
But since tomorrow he was going with the Cangyou Wildcat Team to explore the Saint Ruins (interview), and today he needed to try on women’s clothes to pick an outfit suitable for adventuring, since he had already decided to embarrass himself by wearing female clothing, unhealthy takeout wasn’t an option.
Su Qi decided to make himself a Su Wife bento.
Luckily, there were some leftovers from yesterday’s lunch service at the canteen—he could cook a pot of beef brisket stewed with tomatoes and whip up a cold dish.
With a plan settled, Su Qi slowly stood up from the sofa.
The Su family apartment was a three-bedroom, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom layout.
The largest bedroom naturally belonged to Su Father and Su Mother.
Being the youngest and a low-maintenance boy, Su Qi’s room was the smallest side room.
The secondary bedroom was assigned to his sister, Su Lulu.
Creak~
He gently pushed open Su Lulu’s door.
Inside was a room suffused with girlish charm: pink walls and delicate decorations.
Su Qi felt a wave of embarrassment and guilt.
The reason was simple enough.
Perhaps due to awakening the “Su Wife Ability,” Su Qi’s height had stalled at 168cm.
Coincidentally, before her coma, Su Lulu’s height was about the same.
Because of medical expenses, to save costs, Su Qi borrowed Su Lulu’s ordinary dresses whenever he activated his ability.
Now, thinking about having to try on his own sister’s clothes…
The feeling was indescribable—a strange mix of guilt, a hint of taboo, a prickling sensation… and even a little excitement.
Excitement???
Wait—what am I thinking?!
I’m not right.
Shaking his head to dismiss the weird thoughts, Su Qi stepped inside the room.
Su Lulu’s room was a side room and slightly larger than Su Qi’s.
However, the extra space was entirely taken up by a large white wardrobe.
Su Qi approached and opened the four-door wardrobe.
Though he had opened it many times during Su Lulu’s coma while doing housework, he was still shocked each time.
Before falling into the coma, Su Lulu had been an adventurer exploring the Saint Ruins.
The adventurer profession was a peculiar one—high risk, but also high reward.
Awakened with the Water Dragon King Talent, Su Lulu, like most girls, loved shopping.
Now, as the wardrobe doors swung open, it was like unveiling a treasure chest.
Packed tight were countless colorful, varied styles of girls’ clothes.
Among three of the wardrobe’s sections were shorts, short skirts, sweet pleated skirts, and elegant pencil skirts.
Different hemlines and lengths suited various occasions and moods—from flowing chiffon gowns to gorgeous evening dresses, each radiating a unique charm.
In addition, there were some distinctly girlish Lolita fashion pieces, along with JK uniforms and JSKs, embodying a fresh, playful schoolgirl vibe.
The leftmost section was filled with lingerie, accessories, earrings, anklets, stockings, and other exquisite little trinkets.
Looking at the dazzling array of clothes and decorations, Su Qi sighed quietly.
Indeed… girls were expensive to maintain. Boys were simpler—he only had four outfits in total.
After this brief reflection, a faint blush crept onto Su Qi’s cheeks.
His pale hands trembled as he stripped off his Spiritual Martial Academy male uniform and placed it on a stool.
This time, he didn’t try on the usual plain dress.
Instead, he picked up one of Su Lulu’s JK outfits and a camisole.
Facing the room, with a hint of guilt in his voice, he whispered,
“Sis, sorry about this. I’ll just borrow it for a bit.”
