Chapter 108 An Unexpected Guest in the Villa
Evening.
I returned to the dormitory with a haul from most of the day.
Not only was I carrying a lot of things in my hands, but there was also a black leather leg ring on my left leg.
This was a set of tight, cropped black attire chosen for me by Sister Bai, paired with extremely short shorts, along with the leg ring. It was one of the few outfits I had that wasn’t a dress.
Sister Bai picked this outfit for me because its style suited me well.
Moreover, this leg ring is an Alchemical Item that comes with a one-cubic space. It’s not large, but it’s enough to solve my urgent needs.
Previously, Sister Bai wanted to buy a space for me, but I declined because it was too expensive.
Now that I encountered one that came as part of the set, as Sister Bai put it, it was an added bonus, and since this set wasn’t too pricey, I got it.
At first, I thought it was just a coincidence.
But now, I realized that Sister Bai actually had such a preference regarding the leg ring. Although she revealed little enthusiasm about it, when I personally buckled it on and felt it tighten against my flesh, her eyes became fixated.
So Sister Bai likes this~
No wonder she doesn’t like me wearing long dresses; the skirts she recommended weren’t very long and would cover my legs. Of course, this doesn’t exclude the possibility that Sister Bai might have a leg f*tish.
If I were to directly ask Sister Bai about such matters, she probably wouldn’t say it outright?
Should I try to see gradually? After all, Sister Bai has bought me many outfits, and there’s no rush in trying each one.
Besides, these were all purchased with Sister Bai’s money; it wouldn’t be good not to show her.
Right now, the one-cubic leg ring was also stuffed with items that were inconvenient to carry, such as nightgowns, underwear, and other intimate items.
Now that I’m a girl, I can’t just rely on clothes and dresses; for my health and development, many items are necessary to buy.
I just hoped to enrich my wardrobe a bit; I wondered if it could hold it all. Before, I thought my wardrobe might be too big, but looking at it now, it was clearly too small.
I pushed open the villa’s large door, but there wasn’t a soul in the living room on the first floor.
Today was the first day of school! Where is everyone?
It was already evening; did they all go out partying?
Dongli Yiren was busy with a part-time job whose details I still didn’t know, but I remembered Guan Qiuling wasn’t the type to stay home all the time, right?
And my fourth roommate, who has become completely unreachable, hasn’t shown up either since school started.
Just after I went upstairs and dropped my things, I heard strange noises coming from next door.
I recalled that my neighbor was Guan Qiuling, right?
Is the soundproofing in this villa that bad?
After putting down my clothes, I curiously stepped out of my room and peeked into Guan Qiuling’s bedroom to see what was going on.
Just as I was curious, Guan Qiuling’s door suddenly burst open, and to my surprise, a person I didn’t expect appeared before me.
“Ah~ Apologies, lovely lady, I am a guest invited here by Guan Qiuling. I’m sorry for not introducing myself beforehand.”
This senior spoke incredibly politely, but her tone had no trace of apology, even giving a hint of lingering interest.
“You! You are that one!”
I excitedly pointed at the senior before me; isn’t she the one who was in contact with Guan Qiuling?
How did she end up here?
But… but!
She was invited by Guan Qiuling; isn’t that information a bit too shocking?
“Hmm? I remember giving you my business card; it seems the cute junior has forgotten. But no worries, allow me to introduce myself again. I am the best trainer at the Witch Academy—Hu Xianyi. You left in a hurry last time and didn’t formally introduce yourself.”
Hu Xianyi’s behavior and demeanor were entirely different from our last meeting; now, if I had to describe her, she seemed more like… a dressed-up predator.
“I… what did you do to Guan Qiuling? I don’t believe she would invite you!”
After a brief mental whirlwind, and having sorted out the situation, I confronted her because, after all, Hu Xianyi was essentially trespassing. If she could enter Guan Qiuling’s bedroom today, she might just waltz into mine tomorrow!
I absolutely could not let this unexpected occurrence continue around me!
“Oh, it’s nothing. You mentioned Guan Qiuling? She has been missing me these days. I remember just this morning, she was anxiously waiting for me outside the door; it was truly too adorable,” Hu Xianyi said as if reminiscing about what had happened earlier, describing it vividly for me.
Hu Xianyi’s words jogged my memory. Guan Qiuling did indeed wake up very early today and was dressed neatly. Could it be that everything she said was true?
I looked at Hu Xianyi in disbelief, hoping to catch a hint of deception.
“I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s the truth, cute junior. I heard Guan Qiuling say you’re named Yang Yuelan, right? What a lovely name. I know you’re wary of me, but I have professional ethics; I assure you I won’t do anything out of line.”
“Assurances mean nothing.” Listening to her accurately state my full name, I began to believe a bit; could it be that Guan Qiuling really…
This was too outrageous to consider!
“Um… is it Xiao Han?” A voice came from behind Guan Qiuling’s door; it was indeed her.
“Guan Qiuling, you…” At that moment, I didn’t even know how to speak to her; a brief interaction had left me in unimaginable shock!
My roommate had set me up with something too big!
I was losing my appetite!
“I’m sorry, Sister Xiao Han… I, I…” Even now, I hadn’t seen Guan Qiuling show her face to confront me directly; perhaps she had her reasons too.
“It’s fine.” My tone softened; after all, I had overreacted.
In truth, if it weren’t for my fear of being implicated, I might have found this whole matter amusing. But this was too big for me to handle!
“Everyone has their choices. I respect everyone’s choices, but please let me know about things like this in the future; after all, I can’t bear such big surprises without any notice.” I instinctively scratched my head, turning away awkwardly.
“Well, I won’t interrupt you; you two continue. I’ll head out first. Um, I haven’t had dinner yet; should I bring you both something?”
“If possible, I’d like a well-done…”
“Just regular takeout; eat it if you want.” I shot a glance at Hu Xianyi, who was being polite but insistent.
After saying that, I quickly left; I couldn’t stay in this dormitory any longer.
I needed to wait for things to settle down before returning; at this time, the bakery should still be open; I might as well check it out.
