Chapter 7: Soft and Sweet

Even though she had become a girl, she still had to earn a living.

Tian Siyi was also very talented at games. On one hand, she learned games quickly, easily understanding character skills and game mechanics. On the other hand, she was also very skilled at playing them.

Because of that, she often worked as a paid player, helping others level up their accounts or leading groups through raids to earn in-game gold.

This was now her main source of income, so she couldn't stop doing it.

At the moment, she mainly played a game called Star Sky Adventure, leading gold-farming raid groups. Compared to boosting players in MOBA games, she earned more by leading raid groups and helping players climb the rankings in MMORPGs. She only switched to MOBA games once in a while for a change of pace after running too many raid groups.

It was only a little after 8 a.m., but many customers in the group chat were already urging her to start.

【Boss Hua, wake up! Time to start the raid!】

【Even a work donkey gets more rest than you.】

【Gold Farmer No.1 is ready.】

Tian Siyi's online nickname was Listening to Flower Words in the Rain, so people online usually called her Boss Hua or Old Hua. (Note: 花 (Huā) = Flower)

Some people in the chat were also talking about gossip.

【The world chat is arguing again.】

【What's the drama?】

【I heard some rich player spent over 100,000 yuan buying equipment for their online partner, and then that partner ran off with someone else.】

When Tian Siyi saw that message, her eyes suddenly lit up.

Now that I'm a girl... does that mean I could get some rich player to buy equipment for me too?

Although she led raid groups, her equipment was far from the best. She had carefully picked a set with the best value for the money. Top-quality gear could easily cost thousands of yuan, and improving her damage by just one percent could cost several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan. There was no way she could afford that.

So she casually typed a message.

【When is someone going to spoil me?】

The moment she sent it, the group chat exploded.

【Even Boss Hua needs someone to spoil them?】

【Boss Hua is joking. The maids at Boss Hua's house change every day. A whole month goes by without seeing the same one twice.】

【LOL. Boss Hua even looks pretty in women's clothes.】

Obviously, no one believed that Tian Siyi needed someone to support her. Even less did they believe that such a skilled gamer was actually a beautiful girl with a lovely figure.

So Tian Siyi decided to tease them a little. She deliberately used a cute, sweet voice and sent a voice message.

"Pick me as your online girlfriend. I'm super sweet!"

【?】

【???】

…………

The chat was instantly flooded with question marks. After quite a while, someone finally made a guess.

【Is that one of Boss Hua's maids?】

【Using a voice changer?】

【Boss Hua, stop messing around and talk normally.】

Watching everyone fill the chat with messages, Tian Siyi could almost picture their shocked faces on the other side of the screen. A satisfied smile finally appeared on her face.

She couldn't be bothered to explain anything. They could keep guessing.

She decided not to lead any raid groups today. Instead, she would play a MOBA game.

She opened the boosting group chat again to look for a job, but after typing a few words, she deleted them.

Then she suddenly stood up and walked straight into Chen Chen's room.

Chen Chen was focused on reading something and didn't notice her coming in.

She stood on her tiptoes and quietly walked behind Chen Chen. Stretching her neck forward, she leaned her head next to his and looked at the computer screen with him.

Chen Chen quickly noticed that someone was behind him. When he turned his head, a pretty young face was suddenly right in front of his.

His whole body jerked in surprise, and he immediately leaned back in his chair to put some distance between them.

"What are you doing? You scared me!"

"I wanted to see what you were doing. What are you even searching for?" Tian Siyi pointed at the screen. "What should you do when a girl has her period? What are you planning?"

Chen Chen stayed calm. Sitting up straight, he answered seriously,

"Isn't this for your sake? What if one day you suddenly start bleeding? What if your stomach hurts? Am I supposed to search for it right then? And then run outside to buy what you need? By the time I get back, it'll already be too late."

"Uh..."

Tian Siyi had to admit that, considering her current situation, if her period really came, she wouldn't have the slightest idea what to do.

"So... are you getting ready to be my boyfriend or my manager?"

Chen Chen spread his hands helplessly.

"What else can I do? My sister told me to take good care of you. I can't just watch you curl up in bed because you're in pain."

"It can't be that bad..."

Tian Siyi wasn't sure. She had heard that some girls had really painful periods. After thinking about it for a while, she carefully asked,

"Does it really hurt that much?"

"Why are you asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? You'll find out when you experience it yourself."

Tian Siyi pressed her lips together before asking another question.

"If I stay clean and healthy, does that mean it won't hurt?"

"Not necessarily. But I guess the chances of having bad pain would be lower."

Tian Siyi nodded and silently remembered that. No matter what, she would need to pay much more attention to her health and hygiene from now on.

She was actually afraid of pain and had no desire to experience the kind of pain Chen Chen had described.

Seeing her lost in thoughts about her future periods, Chen Chen reminded her,

"So, what did you actually come here for? You can't have come just to see what I was doing."

He knew Tian Siyi had never cared about this kind of random stuff. She was usually too busy staying in her room.

His words brought her back to reality.

"Oh, right. If you hadn't reminded me, I would've forgotten. Want to play a game?"

"I don't know how to play the one you're playing."

"Come play ranked with me! I'll carry you!"

"You're in King rank, and I'm only Gold. How are we supposed to queue together?"

"Just borrow a lower-ranked account. I'll carry you!"

Chen Chen looked at Tian Siyi suspiciously, trying to figure out what she was thinking from her clear, innocent-looking eyes.

"Are you trying to be nice to me now because I'll be taking care of you from now on?"

Tian Siyi widened her eyes and stepped forward, wrapping an arm around his neck.

"What are you talking about? We're friends. Why would I need to suck up to you? I just feel like crushing some beginners today."

As she leaned against him, Chen Chen suddenly felt something soft pressing against his face. His cheeks instantly turned red.

It wasn't just that she felt soft. There was also a light, sweet scent coming from Tian Siyi that naturally caught his attention. He was sure it wasn't from shampoo or body wash, but the gentle, natural scent of a young woman.

He figured she probably just needed a way to let off some stress. Even though he felt a little sorry for the players in Gold rank, there was nothing he could do about that.

"Alright, alright, I get it. Let go first..."

As he spoke, Chen Chen gently pushed Tian Siyi away. Tian Siyi turned to look at him and noticed that both of his cheeks had turned unexpectedly red.

"Oh? You're blushing? Don't tell me you've started falling for me."

"Oh, get lost!" Chen Chen quickly stopped her before she could come any closer.

Tian Siyi froze, puffed out her cheeks, and complained, "Why are you being so mean?"

"If I'm not a little strict with you, you'll never remember. You're a girl now..."

"Alright, alright... You're even more nagging than your sister!"

Tian Siyi cut him off before he could continue lecturing her. She turned and walked back to her room, but before leaving she reminded him,

"Hurry up and log in. I'll invite you in a minute."

Chen Chen watched her leave and quietly let out a sigh.

Tian Siyi's body had completely become that of a girl. She wasn't just beautiful, she was soft and carried a naturally sweet scent.

But she still had almost no awareness of herself as a girl. She behaved the same way she always had before.
