Volume 1 Chapter 51: Suddenly, 2D Girls Don’t Seem That Amazing Anymore
"Eek!"
Looking at Bai Muxue, whose forehead and cheeks were covered in a thin layer of sweat, whose red lips opened and closed softly, Tang Xingwan’s pretty face instantly turned red. She quickly shook her head, trying to throw all those hard-to-describe thoughts out of her mind.
What was I even thinking just now?!
I need to watch less of that kind of stuff in the future, Tang Xingwan scolded herself in her heart.
Hmm, at most two hours a day!
With her thoughts drifting, Tang Xingwan sat by the bed and stared blankly at the girl in front of her, whose eyes were tightly shut. Her fingers restlessly played with a strand of hair hanging over Bai Muxue’s shoulder, while many thoughts flashed in her dark eyes.
“Miss Bai? Miss Bai?”
She gently poked Bai Muxue’s soft cheek again, but there was still no response.
This was not normal sleep at all. She had probably fainted!
“No, this can’t go on!”
Anyway... since the plan to give her water could not be done for now, she had to move to the next step, wipe Miss Bai’s body with alcohol.
Tang Xingwan clenched her small fists to encourage herself. Then she ran off, found the medical alcohol at home, mixed it with water, and soaked a towel in it.
But after carrying the basin back into the room, Tang Xingwan started to hesitate again.
Wipe her body... which meant taking off Miss Bai’s clothes!? Isn’t that a bit...?
And the person was such a cute girl too...
Taking care of a sick beautiful girl and having to remove her clothes... wasn’t this the kind of common scene from dating games?
Tang Xingwan’s uncertain eyes moved again and again between Bai Muxue’s pale pretty face and her slim arms. Her mind seemed full of imagined fair skin and softness. Her already red face became even redder with embarrassment.
“Forget it! We’re both girls, what is there to be shy about? And I’m doing this to save her!”
After patting her burning cheeks, Tang Xingwan made up her mind. She bit her lower lip tightly and, with the expression of someone going to battle, slowly began removing the black dress from the girl’s body.
“The fabric feels so nice... This dress was probably expensive too. As expected of a rich young lady...”
As Tang Xingwan muttered to herself, the silk-like smooth fabric slid under her fingers. Every time the dress moved a little higher, a little more of the bright white skin beneath was revealed.
Even though Bai Muxue’s eyes were still closed, Tang Xingwan was far too shy to look at her body directly. She could only turn her head slightly away and continue removing the dress by touch.
“It’s okay, it’s okay... I’m only doing this to save her... I definitely don’t have bad thoughts about looking at a beautiful girl’s body...!”
She kept repeating this to herself in her heart. Gritting her teeth, Tang Xingwan removed the last bit of cloth still covering Bai Muxue.
Without the black dress hiding her, Bai Muxue’s slim arms and delicate shoulders were exposed to the air, along with skin as smooth as cream. From her collarbone to her lower stomach, every inch of her nearly transparent pale skin could now be clearly seen.
“W-Wow...”
The sight in front of her almost made Tang Xingwan lose the ability to think. She quickly covered her eyes with her hands, leaving only a small gap between her fingers as she shyly peeked at the soft fair body so close to her.
Tang Xingwan felt like she was about to break down...
If beauty could be counted as a weapon, then she had already been defeated by it.
Bai Muxue simply lay quietly on the bed. Her flat stomach rose and fell with her slightly fast breathing...
Yet even that simple movement made Tang Xingwan’s heart suddenly beat much faster.
The afternoon sunlight was very strong. A few traces of red still remained on Bai Muxue’s jade-like skin. Below her slim waist, white silk underwear covered the parts that could easily lead to wild thoughts. Tang Xingwan could even notice the fine soft hairs on her smooth skin.
Tang Xingwan swallowed hard. Her cheeks were burning hot, and she felt dry in the mouth.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay… Miss Bai really is cute, but she’s completely unconscious right now. Even if I did something strange, she probably wouldn’t wake up—eh?!”
What am I thinking?!
My thoughts are getting stranger and stranger!
If Dad were still here and knew I had such strange thoughts about a beautiful girl lying on the bed, he would definitely scold me!
Coming back to her senses, Tang Xingwan quickly stopped her runaway thoughts. She focused herself again, wrung out the towel, carefully avoided certain sensitive areas, and gently moved closer to Bai Muxue’s skin.
“Mmm…”
The moment the towel touched her skin, the girl moved uneasily and let out a soft sound.
“N-No, don’t make sounds like that! It’ll make things weird!”
Bai Muxue’s faint voice slowly entered Tang Xingwan’s ears, making her whole body tremble. The red on her face became even deeper, and a strong feeling of shame and awkwardness filled her completely.
“I-I didn’t do anything bad… there’s nothing to be scared of…”
Even though Tang Xingwan said that softly, her eyes kept moving around. She did not dare look at the girl for too long, which only made her seem more suspicious.
She did not dare let her mind wander anymore. Quickly, she pressed the towel against Bai Muxue’s skin and carefully wiped her body.
But when the towel passed over Bai Muxue’s delicate collarbone and thin shoulders, Tang Xingwan’s thoughts quietly drifted away again.
Miss Bai is really so small… She feels younger than me, right? Maybe still in school? But can someone that age seem so mature?
Still, even though she looks small and delicate… and doesn’t match the words “impressive figure” at all, maybe that small size, together with her cute face, is the perfect match.
After all… dolls are cutest when held in your arms…
While carrying all kinds of subtle thoughts in her heart, Tang Xingwan covered Bai Muxue with the blanket again, soaked the towel once more, wrung it dry, folded it into a long strip, and placed it on the girl’s forehead.
After finishing all that, Tang Xingwan quietly let out a sigh of relief and weakly collapsed beside the bed. Her dark hair was completely wet with sweat and stuck to both sides of her face.
The one who had fallen sick was clearly Bai Muxue…
But Tang Xingwan now also felt weak all over, as if that simple care had drained all her strength.
“So taking care of someone is this tiring… I understand Dad’s feelings a little now…”
She wiped the sweat from her face and slowly turned to look at the sleeping Bai Muxue.
Miss Bai was cute, so cute it almost felt unfair. That was what Tang Xingwan thought the first time she met Bai Muxue.
In today’s world, with the internet everywhere, Tang Xingwan felt she had seen many beautiful girls online before. But today, looking at the slim girl quietly lying on the bed, Tang Xingwan suddenly realized that all those famous online beauties, and even Qin Xiyao and Shen Jingyi, had all moved down one place in her heart.
She had never seen a girl like this before…
Perfect to the point that she almost did not seem real.
Bai Muxue was already small and delicate, but after removing her outer clothes, she looked even thinner and weaker. Together with her tired expression and messy hair, she looked like a dreamlike bubble that could break the moment someone touched it too hard.
“Suddenly, those 2D girls don’t seem so amazing anymore…”
