Chapter 78: Are the Senior’s Legs That Nice?
“Wah! No! No!”
A beautiful day began with Ruo Xiaoxi bolting upright in bed, startled awake from a dream.
Her snow-white hair spread messily across her shoulders. The gentle sunlight filtering through the curtains fell on half her body as she stared blankly at the wall.
She’d had a dream, a pleasant and stimulating one, but not exactly a nice dream.
In the dream, she wasn’t only unable to express herself, but the scenario was terrifying. She dreamt about her relationships with Senior Xia and Xiaonuo, and they both found out about each other.
Exposed, Ruo Xiaoxi couldn’t escape. They caught her.
She remembered wearing a black blindfold, her hands tied behind her back with ribbons, being… sandwiched between Senior Xia and Xiaonuo. Even more absurdly, she had vividly imagined herself… well, like a character in a certain type of manga, breathless and flushed.
“Thank goodness it was just a dream!” were her first words upon waking, face burning.
Feeling a slight chill and discomfort, Ruo Xiaoxi’s cheeks flushed even brighter. She quickly got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to change her underwear. The dream had been… incredibly realistic.
And it hadn’t even faded out due to missing key data; it had played out in its entirety.
Why did I have such a… spring dream last night? So embarrassing… Ruo Xiaoxi muttered, biting her lip as she changed. Do I seem that frustrated?
She had actually experienced what it felt like to be a… ahem… in a dream! But that mix of tension and pleasure… what was that about?! Was this what being a teenage girl was like?
“Haa… Time to get ready for school.” Ruo Xiaoxi emerged from the bathroom, face still flushed.
It was just past six. She put on her prepared outfit, slipped on her cute white socks, and stood before the mirror.
Military training started today, so she should tie her hair up.
She gathered her hair and tied it back in a refreshing high ponytail, revealing her small, delicate ears and framing her fair face.
This hairstyle made her feel more energetic, like a lively schoolgirl.
“Alright, today I’m a tough guy! Let’s go!” Ready, Ruo Xiaoxi didn’t linger, hurrying out to catch the subway.
As an afterthought, she grabbed a slice of toast from the table, holding it in her mouth.
A girl rushing to school with a single-strap bag on her back, toast in her mouth, and shouting, “I’m late! I’m late!” – that was the classic scene Ruo Xiaoxi was currently enacting.
Every gesture embodied the creed of cuteness, spreading joy and beauty to everyone.
The autumn air was less scorching, the morning breeze slightly cool. Tree shadows swayed along the sidewalk. She heard the whoosh of passing cars, smelled the aroma of steamed buns from a breakfast shop.
She memorized all these sights and smells; this was her route to school.
Unlike the first day, when she’d rushed to register with her luggage, this journey felt strangely enchanting. Ruo Xiaoxi inhaled the refreshing air, her mood as bright as the sun.
Well, here I am, all alone in a new city for school, having turned into a vampire along the way. I finally made it to high school.
And I’ve met a beautiful, rich senior, and a shy, cute deskmate. A royal flush in terms of relationships. And there are so many other girls at school! It’s a buffet paradise for a vampire.
Everything is perfect…
—Until a few hours later, when she fell behind during the military training run, panting and sprawled on the ground, regretting her earlier optimism.
“I’m dying… I don’t want to run anymore… I’ll tell the instructor I’m on my period.”
The rascal lolita, eyes narrowed, lay on the field, frowning and clutching her stomach, putting on an act.
The midday sun bared its fangs, scorching the earth. The air felt like it was melting. Ruo Xiaoxi couldn’t take it. She felt her strength draining away.
If there was any torture for a vampire, it was military training under the blazing sun.
“This ground is like a teppanyaki grill. I’m covered in sweat. I want a shower…”
“Eh? Xiaoxi? Xiaoxi!” Lan Yinuo, still in formation, noticed Ruo Xiaoxi was missing. She stopped, looked back, and ran towards her.
Helping her up, she asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”
“Maybe… maybe not. I’ve reached my limit. From now on, I leave it to you, Xiaonuo…” Ruo Xiaoxi placed her hand solemnly on Lan Yinuo’s shoulder, as if entrusting her with some great mission.
“Anyone would think you’d run a marathon, you’re so weak. But you’ve only run fifty meters!”
“Ah? Fifty meters? Only fifty meters?” Ruo Xiaoxi’s tone changed instantly. She scratched her cheek awkwardly. “It felt like so much longer.”
Lan Yinuo stared at her, speechless. If she couldn’t still see the starting line, she would have believed Ruo Xiaoxi’s lies. “Yes, you fell behind almost immediately. Come on, you can do it. Just run slowly at the back, I’ll stay with you.”
“No, I’ve collapsed. I need a kiss to get up.”
“Eh!? Flirting at a time like this?!” Lan Yinuo was startled, looking around nervously. After a moment of hesitation, she pecked Ruo Xiaoxi lightly on the cheek.
“There, you got your kiss. Get up now.”
“Whoa! I was just joking!” Ruo Xiaoxi looked at Xiaonuo, pleasantly surprised. “If you’re this nice to me, my tail will be sticking straight up in the air!”
“Because… didn’t I say I’d spoil you? I have to keep my promises. If you went out with me, I’d hold you in my hands every day…” Xiaonuo mumbled shyly, fiddling with her fingers.
But seeing others looking their way, she quickly stopped talking.
A group of people without military training uniforms appeared at the entrance of the field, the noise level rising. They were carrying boxes of bottled water. Upperclassmen were bringing supplies.
A senior happened to pass by, noticing them. She bent down and asked with a gentle smile, “Are you two alright? Feeling unwell?”
“N-no. We’re just taking a break…” Ruo Xiaoxi replied, looking up.
“Well, keep up the good work! Here, have some water.” The senior handed them each a bottle.
The two girls thanked her, and the senior quickly left. Ruo Xiaoxi’s gaze followed the senior’s long, healthy legs.
“Humph!” Lan Yinuo puffed out her cheeks, seeing Ruo Xiaoxi so captivated. She pinched her thigh hard. “Are the senior’s legs that nice?”
“Ow! That hurts.” Ruo Xiaoxi squinted, but still tried to defend herself. “I wasn’t looking!”
“If you really like looking at legs, Xiaoxi, why don’t you look at mine more often? I don’t have much going for me, but my legs are pretty nice.” Xiaonuo pouted jealously.
“Xiaonuo, you’re beautiful everywhere.”
“Eek! Sweet-talking me won’t work.” Although she said that, Xiaonuo was clearly swayed, easily won over by Ruo Xiaoxi’s words.
Ruo Xiaoxi held up a finger, explaining logically, “Well, even though that’s true, the senior isn’t wearing much, so it’s hard not to look. You’re in your military training uniform, Xiaonuo. I can’t see anything even if I want to.”
“Then back in the dorm, after we shower, I’ll let you look all you want. And if you don’t look, I’ll stamp your forehead with my leg!” Lan Yinuo huffed. Even a meek wife would retaliate at “home.”
“Then I’ll just hug your thigh and nibble on it! Nom nom nom…”
