Chapter 7

After we finished eating, we wandered around the school aimlessly for a while. The school looked exactly the same as before—nothing had changed.

Before we realized it, we had arrived at the sports field in the south garden of the school.

Because it was a hot summer afternoon, there weren’t many people on the field.

We found a patch of grass and laid down. The warm summer sun shone down on us, making us feel a bit drowsy after our meal, and our skin was slightly itchy.

Shuo Yan lazily yawned, absentmindedly playing with her short brown hair.

“Why does it feel like being a girl hasn’t changed much about college life?”

“You don’t have a girlfriend, you don’t work part-time, and all you do with the student union is boring, pointless stuff. Of course, you’re bored.”

I said, mercilessly poking at her.

“Ugh, I was planning on running for president, or at least aiming for a department head. But now, with this happening, no chance of that.”

Shuo Yan’s soft, cute voice let out a sigh that sounded like an old man, which made it a bit funny.

“Pfft, honestly, with how cute you look now, I think your chances of winning are even higher than before.”

I turned my head toward the fourth brother, lying beside me and said.

“Su Guo, do you think our boss would be popular with guys now?”

“Mmm~ Boss is really cute now.”

Su Guo murmured, her eyes half-open, half-closed. The warm sunlight made her consciousness hazy, like she could fall asleep at any moment.

Hearing our conversation, a hint of blush appeared on Shuo Yan’s fair face. “

Idiot, stop teaching Su Guo weird things. Besides, aren’t you and Su Guo both really cute too? Look who’s talking.”

“Yeah, it’d be great if we could track down whoever cursed us in that game and go back to normal soon.”

“Back to normal, huh. By the way, don’t you have a part-time job tutoring high school students on Saturday?”

“Damn, I almost forgot.”

I quickly sat up. That tutoring gig was an important source of income for me. Without it, I’d be broke. The bank card given by Nalan Xia was with the boss, and I didn’t want to use it anyway.

“But, in this body now, I’m afraid…”

“Afraid of what? Didn’t we all turn into little girls in everyone’s memories? Even our student IDs say we’re female now. The photos and videos we took together, they’ve all changed to show us as girls too, like the old us never existed.”

“Never existed…?”

I muttered to myself, repeating Shuo Yan’s words.

“Hurry up and go, second. Su Guo and I are going to nap here for a bit.”

After saying that, Shuo Yan yawned again, looking drowsy.

I pulled out my phone to check the time. It was only two o’clock. It would take me thirty to forty minutes by bus to get to the student’s place, and our lesson was scheduled for three.

To be sure I wouldn’t be wasting a trip, I opened the chat with the girl I was tutoring and sent her a message.

[Ruo Xiaoxuan, is today’s lesson still at three in the afternoon?]

Since I was tutoring a girl, I usually kept a bit of a formal distance, staying polite and professional in my behavior.

Buzz. My phone vibrated instantly.

Wow, she replied so fast.

[Mhm! I’ll be at home waiting for you, Teacher Yu Li. Oh, and just call me Xiaoxuan, no need to be so formal. Cute Kitten peeking it’s head out.jpg]

After getting her confirmation, I quickly got ready to head over.

On the bus and in the subway station, I felt like people were looking at me like I was some adorable, cute creature. I constantly felt like people were sneaking glances at me, even taking pictures. It made me feel uneasy, so I had to pull up my hoodie to avoid all the attention.

After half an hour, I finally arrived at my destination.

It was a fancy-looking residential area, clearly for the wealthy. The place was huge, with lots of small houses, each like a villa. The atmosphere was peaceful, with plenty of lush greenery that was quite soothing.

Using my memory, I found the building where Ruo Xiaoxuan lived.

Crossing through the gate, I pressed the doorbell.

“You’re here, Sister Xiao Li!”

The moment the door opened, a lively voice greeted me.

It was a smiling young girl. Since she was at home, she was dressed casually in a simple white shirt and blue denim shorts, her long, pale legs showing off a graceful curve.

Wow, she’d never been this enthusiastic before when I came over.

Before, she’d always been polite but somewhat indifferent. Most of the time, she was just courteous.

But now, she was overjoyed, pulling me by the hand and leading me into the living room. Before I knew it, she sat me down on the sofa and handed me a yogurt and a fruit platter she had prepared beforehand.

“Sister Xiao Li, it’s so hot outside. Let’s have some cold yogurt and fruit to cool down.”

She sat close to me, her soft body pressing against mine, and she held up a piece of watermelon to my mouth with a fork.

“Ah~ Sister Xiao Li, open wide, I’ll feed you.”

“Oh, uh…”

I absentmindedly took a bite. It tasted pretty good.

Wait, no, this isn’t how things are supposed to go.

“Xiaoxuan, aren’t your parents home today?”

“They’re not. They went on a trip. I’ll be home alone for a while. How about staying over, Sister Xiao Li? It’s lonely being here by myself.”

Ruo Xiaoxuan clung to my arm, pouting, her soft chest pressing against it. The faint, sweet scent of a young girl made my heart race.

Uh oh, I think my phantom limb is starting to react.

“Ahem,” I coughed, blushing slightly.

“I still have classes. College isn’t as easy as you might think. But if you’re bored, I can chat with you on QQ.”

“Pfft, what’s the fun in that? I want to sleep with you, bathe with you, and play games together. That’s how girls show their closeness.”

Ruo Xiaoxuan pouted, counting on her fingers as she complained. She’d finally gotten the house to herself during the holidays, and if she didn’t get Yu Li to stay now, who knew when she’d have another chance like this?

She really wanted to cuddle up with the soft, cute Yu Li. That would be so comfy, Ruo Xiaoxuan thought to herself.

“Pfft!”

I almost spat out my yogurt in shock. There’s no way normal girls behave like that! Where did you learn this stuff, Ruo Xiaoxuan?

“Xiaoxuan, I’m your tutor. No matter what, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to stay over, especially without your parents’ permission.”

“My parents? Oh, they’re totally fine with it. They even said you’re welcome to stay, that you can use anything in the house. That’s what they said, eh-heh. Come on, stay, please?”

No, don’t do this! Stop rubbing your chest against me, I beg you!
