Chapter 81: She Absolutely Had to Wear White Stockings
Inside the bathroom, steam filled the air. The white-haired girl stretched out both arms, her slim hands pressed against the wall while warm water mixed with sweat flowed across her skin.
As the warm water poured over her, she lowered her head slightly and tightly pressed her soft lips together. Her delicate body twisted faintly, and her cheeks were red.
Her pale calves, smooth like white jade, trembled lightly. Her ten toes were pressed tightly together, and her two feet shook slightly.
It almost looked as if invisible white cat ears had appeared on the girl’s head. At this moment, they drooped beside her head and gently swayed with small movements.
At first glance, she looked like a white-haired catgirl either with someone or alone, carrying out some embarrassing secret ritual.
“Mmm...”
Mu Yi painfully opened her teary eyes, her gaze full of haze and restraint.
She could not take it anymore.
Why did she always want to use the toilet whenever she got nervous? And the worst part was that the toilet and bathroom here were separate. The toilet was clearly right next door, only separated by one wall!
But Gu Zhiren was outside.
Ugh!
Mu Yi felt so annoyed.
Outside, the flowing water kept washing against the city gates, while the soldiers inside the city were already impatiently wanting to break through the gates and rush into battle.
The gates remained tightly shut, but it still felt as if a few soldiers had already escaped outside.
She clearly felt something sliding down from her lower abdomen. That familiar warm feeling slightly awakened some memories in her. Lowering her eyes to look…
Bright red blood was flowing down along the inside of her thigh, its color especially striking.
Mu Yi’s pupils shrank slightly, and her eyes began to heat up a little.
Like most boys, she had grown up hearing that boys should never cry easily. But she had never truly followed that lesson.
You could say her childhood was spent crying all the way through.
As she slowly grew older, she gradually learned to endure things. No matter how difficult life became, even if she had to lie to herself, she would still try to smile and face it.
But now, she felt like she could not hold it in anymore.
If she were still a boy...
At a time like this, she could have simply opened the door, walked openly past Gu Zhiren, and comfortably used the toilet next door.
Why would she need to worry about so many things?
Why exactly had she been turned into a girl?!
But honestly speaking, she felt that if she simply said something now or directly walked out, Gu Zhiren would probably avoid looking at her immediately.
Thinking this, Mu Yi’s expression became a little strange. She even felt a small urge to test it.
She was curious what kind of reaction he would have.
Do you think it was possible that he would instantly panic, get flustered, and scold her a few times?
Or maybe he would follow human instinct and directly pounce on his childhood friend?
But after another thought, she gave up on the idea. Mu Yi lowered her eyes toward her full chest, rolled her eyes subconsciously, and let out a deep sigh in her heart.
Using a woman’s body to tease her childhood friend, was that really something a normal person would do? Well... now that she thought about it carefully, she had already done similar things not long ago.
And besides, what if he really lost control? Wouldn’t that just mean she dug a hole and buried herself in it?
Hurting herself while also hurting her childhood friend.
Mu Yi truly felt like she was reaching her limit in every possible way.
Especially because of that annoying urge to pee.
She gradually felt a strange sensation that she could not describe. Besides the discomfort, there was also a faint and hard-to-explain feeling mixed in, making her slim waist twist slightly on its own.
No way...
She seriously could not take it anymore!
Mu Yi glanced at the spot on the floor where water was constantly flowing away, and suddenly an idea flashed through her mind.
If she just squatted down and solved the problem right here, wouldn’t that actually work?
But after another thought, she gave up on the idea.
She also did not directly wrap herself in a towel and rush outside. Instead, she clenched her pink little fists, and in that brief instant, came up with another plan. Turning her head, she looked toward the clean clothes on the rack.
She quickly walked over in two fast steps. As the distance between her and the clothes shortened, a few drops of blood from her period were left on the floor behind her.
Without hesitation, she grabbed the new underwear, held her breath, and reached it toward the dangerous area below. Then she casually threw the blood-stained underwear into the basket.
“Ah~ why did this happen?!”
Mu Yi puffed up her cheeks and deliberately let out a tragic cry.
Hearing Mu Yi’s voice, Gu Zhiren first frowned slightly and rubbed the bridge of his nose with the back of his hand. Then he slowly turned around with one hand in his pocket.
“What’s wrong?”
He could tell that Mu Yi sounded upset, so he could not help asking.
His voice was softer and gentler than usual, and his eyes were full of worry and pity.
Then suddenly, the bathroom door opened.
As the gap widened, warm steam mixed with a faint sweet scent, along with a slight smell of iron, rushed out toward him.
And right after that, Mu Yi’s breathtaking face appeared.
Her wet hair clung to her cheeks and forehead like seaweed.
Her clear eyes were covered with mist, the corners of her eyes slightly red and swollen. Her slightly open lips pouted softly, and her delicate brows were faintly furrowed, making her look extremely pitiful.
This appearance strongly stimulated Gu Zhiren’s mind, causing his pupils to shake.
At that moment, an uncontrollable desire surged from deep inside him. Evil thoughts of wanting to step forward and bully the girl fiercely filled his head.
But in the next second, a strange image suddenly flashed through his mind.
Mu Yi was acting up again. She probably wanted to use this chance to tease him. The moment he stepped forward, she would definitely raise the corners of her lips and look at him proudly and smugly.
[So you really are lusting after my body. You actually have those kinds of desires toward your childhood friend—]
[You’re shameless, but also kind of cute~]
Gu Zhiren knew he absolutely had to control himself. It was not about pride, and definitely not because he was scared. He clearly knew what he truly wanted.
He wanted to develop a deeper and closer relationship with her, one where he could openly cherish her for the rest of his life.
Not simply possess her body or her heart.
More accurately...
He wanted both!
Instead of stepping forward, he immediately became cautious and slightly raised his head before directly asking:
“You were crying?”
The moment those words fell, a sweet smile appeared on Mu Yi’s face.
“Mmm~ that’s not important! Gu Zhiren, my underwear got stained with blood. Can you help me ask Aunt Lin for another pair? Otherwise I won’t have anything to wear.”
Mu Yi was in a hurry.
She wanted to send Gu Zhiren away quickly so she could rush to the toilet next door and finally solve her problem!
But she also was not sure whether Gu Zhiren would simply agree right away, or use the chance to ask for some condition in return, like demanding extra chapters of her light novel.
Surely he would not ask for some embarrassing request too, right?
But, no real man would let a chance like this pass by!
Gu Zhiren tilted his head with a half-smile, teasingly looking at Mu Yi for a moment. After thinking for a short while, a mysterious smile slowly appeared on his lips.
“Sure! But you have to promise me that later, you absolutely must wear the white stockings~”
