Chapter 80: Onee-san Has Her Charms, But Lolita is Sweet Too
Manipulation! Complete and utter manipulation of Senior Xia!
Ruo Xiaoxi pushed Xia Zhibai away gently, her hands resting on her shoulders. Both girls were flushed, still caught in the afterglow of their intimate moment.
Xia Zhibai sniffed the air, then asked, “Xiaoxi, why do you… smell different today? There’s a… another woman’s scent on you.”
“Pfft, what do you mean, ‘another woman’s scent’?”
“I’m asking you! What’s that mint smell?”
“Mint?” Ruo Xiaoxi hadn’t noticed any particular scent on herself. But Senior Xia’s words triggered a memory.
A minty fragrance… that was Xiaonuo’s scent!
Whenever she was with Xiaonuo, she’d smell mint. Later, at Xiaonuo’s house, she’d discovered Xiaonuo used mint-scented essential oil.
Maybe… maybe she’d picked up the scent from being close to Xiaonuo.
“I… I don’t know.” Ruo Xiaoxi shook her head quickly, offering a hasty explanation. “Maybe… maybe it’s because I’ve been sweating. Of course I smell different than usual.”
“No, you still smell good. It’s just that I haven’t smelled this scent on you before.”
“It… it changes! A person’s scent can’t stay the same all the time. I have many scents. To be honest, even my blood smells like champagne.”
“Oh, come on, now even your blood is champagne-flavored? Is your blood wine? Will it get me drunk?” Xia Zhibai seemed eager to continue their earlier… intoxication.
Even in her military training uniform, Ruo Xiaoxi’s beauty shone through.
“By the way, Ruo Xiaoxi, tomorrow is my birthday…”
“Ah?!” The word “birthday” startled Ruo Xiaoxi. She stared blankly.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you know? I even messaged you about it.”
“Ah, um, I know. I was just… curious how Senior Xia is celebrating.” Ruo Xiaoxi stammered, trying to cover up her slip-up. Oh no, she had seen Xia Zhibai’s message.
It had been a few days ago, but she was busy at the time. She’d glanced at it, replied, and then completely forgotten!
“You said you’d get me a birthday present. Don’t tell me… you forgot?” Xia Zhibai looked at her suspiciously, sensing something amiss.
Ruo Xiaoxi shook her head vehemently. “Of course I remember!”
“It’s just… there’s been a slight mishap with the gift, Senior Xia…”
Forgetting an important date like a birthday… not only would it disappoint the other person, but she had also promised a gift…
“I don’t care about gifts. As long as it’s from you, I’ll cherish it, regardless of its value. But if you did forget—”
“If I forgot… what will happen?” Ruo Xiaoxi asked nervously.
“Hmm… tomorrow, take a nice bath, put on some perfume, find some red ribbons from a Christmas gift box, no need for clothes, just tie yourself up, put yourself in the gift box, and have yourself delivered to my house. I’ll take good care of you.”
“Eek!” Ruo Xiaoxi shuddered involuntarily.
“But I’m not having a party. It’s not even a holiday. My dad booked a hotel for me, but I told him to cancel it. I’m at school; why would I have a birthday party at a hotel?”
“Senior Xia’s dad… is very generous.” Ruo Xiaoxi’s eyes shone with the envy of someone less fortunate.
“So, I told him I’d arrange something at school. I just want something simple. I’ll order a cake and share it with everyone in the dorm. That’s all. Remember to come.”
“Yes, okay.” Ruo Xiaoxi replied softly, leaving the gymnasium, lost in thought.
Even after they parted ways, Xia Zhibai walked a distance, then hurried back, insisting on giving Ruo Xiaoxi another kiss on the cheek, leaving her flustered.
Being so loved by a senior, how could she complain?
Xia Zhibai returned to her building, and Ruo Xiaoxi went back to the field for military training. The break was probably over, and she needed to rejoin her group.
On her way back, she saw Xiaonuo performing, singing a song. Other students sat around her. Ruo Xiaoxi found a spot and listened.
Apparently, her dormmates had discovered her beautiful voice and pushed her to perform.
After finishing the song, Xiaonuo blushed, scurried back to her spot, a picture of forced participation.
Later, in the cafeteria, they had to stand at attention before eating, chanting together before being allowed to eat. Ruo Xiaoxi, a vampire, felt out of place.
I don’t even eat cafeteria food. Why do I have to chant along with them? So embarrassing…
Finally, the long day of military training ended.
Ruo Xiaoxi had spent the day slacking off, running when she could, and otherwise just going through the motions. The instructor, seeing she was a cute girl who kept clutching her stomach as if in pain, turned a blind eye.
“Eh? Xiaoxi, aren’t you staying at school tonight?” Lan Yinuo asked in the dorm.
“No, I have something to do at home. I’ll be back tomorrow.”
“Oh, Xiaomei and An’an were asking about you. They wondered why you weren’t here. They saw the mosquito net on your bed and wanted to sleep there.”
Xiaomei and An’an were their other two dormmates.
Ruo Xiaoxi had greeted them before but wasn’t close to them. She hadn’t even remembered their names.
“Since I’m not here, they can use it. Just be careful of mosquitoes! People who attract mosquitoes need to protect themselves! This is a lesson learned in blood!” Ruo Xiaoxi dramatically wiped away nonexistent tears.
“Um… leave your clothes here. I’ll wash them for you.”
“No, it’s okay. I’ll take them home and wash them myself. I have underwear and stuff…”
“Underwear…” Lan Yinuo’s cheeks flushed. She covered her mouth with her fist, glancing shyly at Ruo Xiaoxi. “Can’t I wash those for you too?”
“If… if you don’t mind?”
Ruo Xiaoxi felt her cheeks warm. Xiaonuo’s tone and expression were so alluring. Before she knew it, she’d handed over her clothes.
Lan Yinuo took the clothes, smiling sweetly. She was one “Don’t worry, go ahead and leave” away from becoming the embodiment of domestic bliss.
Older sisters had their excitement and sweetness, but shy lolitas offered a different kind of heartwarming comfort.
Ruo Xiaoxi still couldn’t understand why she couldn’t resist Xiaonuo. They could switch roles, even! Maybe she should find another opportunity to have a showdown and decide who gets to be the wife!
“Well, I’m off. I’ll definitely stay at school tomorrow.” Ruo Xiaoxi waved goodbye.
Xiaonuo stood at the door, waving back, watching her disappear around the corner.
Back on the balcony, Xiaonuo sorted the clothes, preparing to wash them. Her eyes fell on a pair of pure white panties. She picked them up delicately, holding them between her fingers.
“…Mmm.” Lan Yinuo stared at the thin fabric, glancing around.
As she looked…
A strange force seemed to compel her to bring the fabric closer, touching it lightly to the tip of her nose, closing her eyes and inhaling, gradually losing herself in the scent…
“…Xiaonuo? What… what are you doing?” Ruo Xiaoxi’s unexpected voice startled her.
“Ah!” Lan Yinuo nearly flung the panties over the railing. She frantically hid them behind her back, blushing crimson as she looked at Ruo Xiaoxi, who was standing at the door.
“X-Xiaoxi, you’re not… wait, let me explain…”
“I forgot my off-campus pass. I came back to get it. I… I didn’t see anything! It’s okay!” With that, Ruo Xiaoxi grabbed the pass and ran out of the dorm, leaving Xiaonuo speechless.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah! What am I doing?!”
Lan Yinuo clutched her head, mortified. Her face and even her delicate ears were burning. Her brain short-circuited. She crouched down, covering her face.
Xiaoxi saw me! Doing something weird with her underwear!
And… and she said “It’s okay”! What does that even mean?! Waaaaah…
