In the early morning, a ray of sunlight streamed through the window, scattering speckles of light on the floor.
Luo Xiaosu’s eyelashes fluttered. She opened her eyes groggily, her vision still veiled by a layer of lingering mist.
The pungent smell of disinfectant from the hospital was no longer in her nose; instead, there was a faint scent of grass and wood.
“Mmm… where is this?”
She stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling.
Just as she was about to raise her hand to rub her blurry eyes, a numb tingling sensation suddenly shot through her arm, as if something had been pressing on it all night.
“Ah!”
She turned her head to look beside her.
Aiweila was currently using her arm as a pillow, both arms wrapped around her waist, one leg hooked over hers, clinging to her like a koala.
Her little face was rosy, her golden hair spread messily over the pillow. She was sleeping soundly.
Luo Xiaosu froze for a few seconds before last night’s memories came flooding back into her mind like a tidal wave.
‘That’s right… I transmigrated, didn’t I.’
Her mind now clear, Luo Xiaosu looked at Aiweila’s defenseless sleeping face, sighed helplessly, and carefully extricated herself from the girl’s embrace, straightening her wrinkled clothes.
Her gaze flickered to the tight corset draped over a chair nearby. Luo Xiaosu looked down at herself.
After sweating profusely yesterday, her body was already sticky.
Her clothes were also covered in dust and mud.
“Sigh, I’d better take a bath and change clothes first.”
She sighed, turned, and headed toward the wardrobe.
Just as her hand touched the handle, she suddenly froze.
‘Wait… I seem to be… a girl now…’
Certain indescribable images flashed through her mind instantly.
Luo Xiaosu’s face turned bright red, and it seemed like steam was rising from the top of her head.
‘No, I can’t think about these things! Let’s make breakfast first!’
She spun around abruptly and hurried out of the room.
But after just two steps, Luo Xiaosu’s expression suddenly changed.
Clamping her legs together, she rushed to the bathroom in small, quick steps.
Five minutes later, Luo Xiaosu walked out supporting herself against the wall, her face flushed crimson.
‘This body is way too sensitive… it’s like being tortured!’
The uncomfortable wet and sticky feeling all over made her want to bathe even more.
“…”
In the kitchen, Luo Xiaosu’s face was still red.
She was unconsciously stirring the porridge in the pot.
Just now, while washing up, she had only bent over slightly.
As she moved, the neckline shifted, and the fabric lightly brushed against her delicate skin.
It was something that used to be very ordinary, but she inexplicably felt a numbing, electric-like sensation.
The wooden basin in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and her legs almost gave out, causing her to collapse.
‘Dammit… why is this body so sensitive!’
Biting her lower lip tightly, Luo Xiaosu, face red with shame, stopped recalling her recent embarrassment.
She slightly hunched her back to avoid the fabric rubbing against her chest again.
“Big Sister, what are you doing?”
A childish voice came from behind her.
Startled, Luo Xiaosu’s hand trembled, and the fabric brushed against her chest again.
She turned around awkwardly.
The blush on her face hadn’t faded, so she could only force a smile.
“It’s… it’s nothing! I just bumped into something… Go wash up!”
Watching Aiweila’s retreating figure, Luo Xiaosu finally let out a sigh of relief.
She rested her hands on the table, but the blush on her face couldn’t be hidden, and her breathing was still a bit rapid.
‘No, after breakfast, I absolutely have to put on that corset!’
“…”
Enduring the discomfort, after breakfast, Luo Xiaosu returned to the wardrobe and quickly pulled out a set of androgynous-style clothes.
She carefully poked her head out of the bedroom.
Seeing that Aiweila was not in the hallway, she sighed in relief, picked up the clothes, and hurried toward the bathroom.
“Big Sister? Where are you going?”
Suddenly, Aiweila’s voice came from behind her.
She turned around stiffly.
Aiweila was looking at her with a curious expression.
“Wash… washing clothes…”
“Washing clothes? But Big Sister, these clothes are all clean, aren’t they?”
Aiweila tilted her head, her gaze falling on the brand-new white cloth garment in Luo Xiaosu’s arms, which emitted a faint lavender scent.
“And, Big Sister, isn’t this direction the way to the bathroom?”
‘Busted!’
Luo Xiaosu felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
Subconsciously, she tightened her arms, holding the clothes closer.
“I… I’m just checking if the bathroom is clean while I’m at it!”
She came up with an excuse on the spot, trying to bluff her way through.
“Anyway, you go out. Big Sister will be right…”
“Big Sister is going to take a bath, isn’t she?”
Aiweila suddenly interrupted her.
Her previously confused eyes instantly cleared up, as if she had thought of a good idea.
“Then I want to wash too! I want to wash together with Big Sister!”
“Huh? No way!”
Luo Xiaosu subconsciously refused.
‘Wash together?’
‘What a joke! Even though her body had indeed become a girl, in her subconscious, she still thought of herself as a man!’
‘Besides, she hadn’t even seen her own naked body yet. Now she had to be naked in front of a little girl? This was simply…’
“Why not?”
“You… you’re a girl!”
“But, Big Sister is also a girl, right?”
Luo Xiaosu felt like the whole sky was falling.
“But… but…”
“Is it not okay? But at home, Mom always helped me wash. Is it because Big Sister dislikes me that she doesn’t want to wash with me?”
Aiweila pouted her little mouth, her eyes moist, as if tears would spill from them at any moment.
Seeing her aggrieved appearance, Luo Xiaosu’s hanging heart eventually died.
She couldn’t help but shout inwardly.
‘What is this nonsense! First sleeping together was bad enough, but now we have to bathe together too?’
“Fine, but! You have to wait for Big Sister to… prepare first!”
“Yay! Big Sister is the best!”
Watching Aiweila’s cheerful figure, Luo Xiaosu leaned weakly against the wall, feeling drained.
‘Great. Now not only do I have to face my own naked body, I also have to help this little girl wash…’
‘Fine… I’ll just treat it like… giving a little sister a bath… Anyway, I’m a girl now…’
Internally continuing to console herself, she took a deep breath and followed behind Aiweila toward the bathroom.
Placing the clothes on a nearby rack, Luo Xiaosu moved her fingertips slightly and chanted a low incantation.
A clear stream of water appeared out of thin air, pouring into the bathtub.
As Magic Power was infused, the water quickly heated up, and steaming hot vapor instantly filled the entire bathroom.
“Big Sister, what is this?”
Aiweila’s curious voice came from behind.
Luo Xiaosu turned around and saw that she had already undressed down to just a small undershirt, holding in her hand an oval-shaped object emitting a faint floral scent… Soap?
Before Luo Xiaosu could explain, Aiweila’s gaze fell on her.
At this moment, Luo Xiaosu was still wearing that set of beige cloth clothes and brown shorts.
“Big Sister, aren’t you going to undress?”
This innocent question was like a thunderclap, startling Luo Xiaosu, who was just agonizing over whether to take off her top or her pants first, making her shiver all over.
“Ah! Ah… um… Big Sister is a little cold. Aiweila, you… you go in first.”
“Oh…”
Although Aiweila tilted her head, a puzzled expression on her face as if thinking ‘how could it be cold in the bathroom’, she obediently took off her last undershirt and climbed into the bathtub using all four limbs.
Plop.
With a light splash of water, Aiweila squinted her eyes in comfort, her little face flushed from the heat.
“It’s so warm. Big Sister, you come in too. The water is very comfortable.”
Seeing Aiweila’s defenseless appearance, Luo Xiaosu took a deep breath.
“I… I know! Aiweila, turn around first. Don’t look at Big Sister!”
Aiweila blinked her big eyes, looking at her through the misty water vapor, her face innocent.
“Big Sister, why are you still so shy at this age? When Mom bathed before, she wasn’t like this.”
“That’s different! Turn around now! No peeking!”
Luo Xiaosu felt like her face was so hot it could fry an egg.
“Okay… how strange…”
Seeing that Aiweila had turned her back and was no longer looking at her, Luo Xiaosu finally let out a sigh of relief.
But right after that, another challenge awaited.
