Chapter 22: Street of Snacks
“Does Sister Bai just choose any guest room to sleep in? Or maybe you could sleep in the room opposite mine, how about that?”
I thought for a moment and was also considering this arrangement. After all, this is my dormitory, and since I’m temporarily the only one here, I should have the final say!
“This is your dormitory and also that of your yet-to-meet roommate. How can I do that? It’s always impolite to use a stranger’s things. I see… your bedroom bed is really big—it’s set up like a double bed.”
“Huh? No, no, Sister Bai, is that really a request?” At this point, I finally started to panic, not because I was afraid of what Sister Bai might do, but because I wasn’t used to sleeping with someone else!
I really wasn’t used to it!
Even when I stayed at Sister Bai’s house, I slept on the sofa outside.
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you.”
Looking at Sister Bai’s smiling face, I couldn’t see any other emotions—it should be fine, right? After all, isn’t it okay for girls to sleep together?
“Then… alright, as long as you don’t mind, Sister Bai…” In the end, I agreed.
After all, I couldn’t just kick Sister Bai out, right? If I did that, I would feel guilty. As for sharing a bedroom with me… that was a problem.
Am I supposed to sleep on the floor?
Even if this is a double bed, just thinking about sleeping next to Sister Bai… it would probably make me unable to sleep, right?
How could I possibly sleep in this situation!
“I definitely don’t mind.” Bai Yu came closer, gently resting a hand on my shoulder. “Xiao Han, you’re not thinking of sleeping on the floor, are you?”
“Huh?”
I panicked, as the thoughts in my mind were suddenly pointed out, so I instinctively refuted, “No! How could that be! There… is no second set of bedding here, right? How could I think that?”
“There are spare bedding sets, oh, so do you still want to sleep on the floor?”
“There are? Then I…”
“No sleeping on the floor, girls should take care of themselves a bit.” Sister Bai firmly pressed her hand against my lips, persuading me before I could finish my sentence.
Rather than persuasion, it felt more like an order that left no room for me to voice any other opinions.
It seems that sleeping on the floor is out of the question… and I felt a bit excited about this.
After all, I had never shared a bed even with my girlfriend. Naturally, the excitement also made me a little nervous.
I tried to calm my emotions, reassuring myself that I was previously a boy, so I should be worried about Sister Bai instead, right?
If she doesn’t mind, what am I afraid of? Besides, this is my bedroom, what could Sister Bai do to me?
“If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as you agreeing. But there’s still plenty of time tonight; would you like to see the Witch Academy at night? It’s quite lively.”
“Mm.”
I hesitated and nodded, considering it a chance to broaden my horizons. Although I’m not the type who enjoys noisy scenes, it’s also nice to experience something new.
We walked out of the dormitory area.
The academy is a huge area. If you wander around aimlessly without a target, it might take several days to explore it all.
This time, the senior took me to a specific place: the academy snack street.
After all, I’m quite ordinary—having food is good! Sister Bai naturally understands this.
If I had a road in front of me leading to a luxury goods store, I would still prefer to spend my time waiting in line at the snack stall at the intersection.
“This is the academy’s famous snack street, and there are four very famous streets at the academy. The snack street is one of them, and you can find basically all the snacks you’ve tried around the world here.” Bai Yu explained the situation enthusiastically, almost revealing something strange.
“Since there are four streets, may I ask what they are?” Clearly, I was very interested in this topic.
The four streets recognized by the academy seniors must be quite impressive, right?
Just walking on this street, I almost lost Sister Bai in the crowd; it was indeed a situation of people densely packed together.
I looked around at the strange snacks and couldn’t quite understand why it was so popular here, but they really did smell good. Many people stopped at various stalls just to wait for some unknown fried food to come out.
Or maybe many are simply here to experience this atmosphere?
“This… you’ll know later…” Bai Yu looked a bit embarrassed, but in the densely packed crowd, I didn’t notice. “By the way, Xiao Han, do you want to eat something? Sister Bai is treating you!”
“Alright…”
Since Sister Bai didn’t give a direct answer on this matter, it probably has a similar nature to the Street of Elegance, so I can’t help but speculate mischievously.
Otherwise, I really can’t think of any other reasons for Sister Bai not to tell me; perhaps the snack street is the only normal place.
“Then I won’t hold back!”
I looked at the street blocked by various seniors and finally stopped at a small stall. Tonight’s late-night snack would start with this oddly shaped fried food!
After quite a long wait, I finally got my first snack. As I smelled the fragrance wafting out, I became hungrier.
Although I personally feel that the food culture in this world is not as developed as the one in my previous life, I must admit that the unique seasonings in this world can make ordinary things taste amazing.
Hmm… it’s a novel flavor.
I have to praise that the atmosphere here is indeed great. If I liked lively places, it would be even better.
The food street certainly lived up to its name. By the time Sister Bai and I wandered to the end of the street, it was already late at night.
Both Sister Bai and I were covered in that smoky scent of street food, and now I really had to take a shower when I got back; I’d have to change out of my dress, which I had only worn once and for not very long at that.
But I was also a bit curious about what it would be like to set up a stall here. After all, I had many snacks from my past life that I hadn’t encountered here, and although I had never done it before, I thought those snacks could definitely create something wonderful with this world’s seasonings.
I just didn’t know how to set up a stall here specifically; never mind, I’ll consider that a backup option. After all, there are only crowds at night. According to Sister Bai, they don’t set up stalls during the day.
“Are you still feeling a bit unfulfilled?”
“Indeed a bit, but my stomach can’t hold anymore.”
I touched my slightly bulging stomach for the second time today, feeling that I had made Sister Bai go to great lengths again.
“Shall we head back? Are we taking a car, or do you want to ride on my broom?” Bai Yu said, pulling out her broom and gesturing to me. “If you’re scared, I can fly back slowly at a low altitude.”
“Then let’s ride Sister Bai’s broom!”
