I'll even show you crossdressing men.

Let's pretend we never met. He didn't save her twice, she didn't fall for him, and he hurt her time and time again. That's enough, isn't it?

“You still have an obsession with him, but it’s all our fault, sigh…” Alicia wanted to say something more, but when she saw the deep sadness in his eyes, she could only sigh.

"This is also my choice, which has led to the situation we are in today, hasn't it?" Ji Xiuyu didn't blame her. After all, if it weren't for them, wouldn't she be dead by now?

"No, you became like this unintentionally, and although you don't mind, we can never mind." Alicia always had a strange feeling when she thought about those things from the past.

If they hadn't interfered and had let him grow up on his own, perhaps he would have become a legendary hero renowned throughout the world.

However, since things have already turned out this way, there's no use in regretting it. What power does she have to change anything other than sigh? The only one she can change is herself.

“Well, I’ll have Akari take you to Class 1-A later. You’ll get the best education there.” Alicia said, a gentle smile suddenly curving her lips. She reached out, pinched Hime Xiuyu’s chin as he tried to back away, stood up, leaned closer, and breathed softly into his ear.

"Mmm..." The alluring fragrance wafted through her sensitive areas, causing her to let out a soft moan. This intimate, almost suggestive, connection was truly...

"It's a pity, Xiao Xiuyu isn't interested in girls right now, that's a problem..." After teasing her, Alicia sat back down in her seat, looking very serious, as if she hadn't been the one who had just done that.

"..." Ji Xiuyu fell silent upon hearing her words. It was indeed true. She didn't know when it started, but she had lost interest in young girls, instead feeling that she should be a young girl, someone protected by a man she loved.

But deep down, she always knew that she wasn't a real girl, and that the things she wanted would never be hers.

Bai Ke's domineering nature and Ishikawa Yuya's coercion were not what she wanted. All she wanted was to be treated gently by someone.

"Knock knock..." The knocking sound brought the two people back to their senses. Alicia called out, "Come in."

"Principal, did you need something?" The woman who entered was an intellectual woman who was about 1.72 meters tall and wearing a classroom uniform, with long legs encased in black bodysuit stockings and black open-toed high heels. She had her hair tied in a high ponytail.

As she entered the office, she saw Alicia sitting behind her desk and Ji Xiuyu sitting in front of her, and she understood why Alicia had come to see her.

"Mingli, this is Xiuyu. You will be teaching him from now on. Hmm, all the materials are here. You can arrange them yourself." Alicia was always so elegant in front of others. She handed a thin stack of materials to Mingli and gave her instructions.

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Since this person had Alicia, who had always disliked these kinds of things, personally handle the matter, the girl's identity was rather puzzling. However, she was just a teacher; there was no need to worry about so much. Just follow her instructions.

"Xiuyu, when you have time, or when you're resting, remember to come here and chat with me." As Ji Xiuyu got up and followed Mingli out the door, Alicia's voice came, making her pause, nod in agreement, and then leave.

"The roses are blooming..." After they left, Alicia turned her face to the side, rested her chin on her hand, looked out the window, and murmured softly.

Chapter Twenty-One: Roses, Lilies, Rosehips, and Cherry Blossoms

"Shuyu, well, they are all new students like you. Let's all get along well." Teacher Mingli led Hime Shuyu to the door of Class 1-A, turned around and said this to her before continuing forward.

“She…” Mingli was fine when she went in. Although these students had just enrolled, they had all seen her before, so there was nothing strange about it.

But when Ji Xiuyu entered, all the students stared at the slightly blushing girl, dumbfounded, unsure of what to say.

"Ahem..." Ms. Mingli seemed to have anticipated this, so after coughing, she clapped her hands to draw the attention of the boys and girls to her, then pointed at her and said, "This is my new classmate. She was a little late because of some things, so let's all get to know each other."

Guided by Mingli, the girl in the white dress walked hesitantly onto the podium. Her hands were placed awkwardly in front of her, her big eyes looking at the group of students. Her small mouth opened as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a word.

Her already shy face flushed even more under these circumstances, her cheeks turning a deep rosy hue, like the red clouds on the horizon or the red roses blooming outside the window, beautiful and alluring.

"Oh my god, my heart, my heart, it's pounding so hard... She... she's so cute!" Some boys were completely captivated after seeing this scene.

I've already started looking forward to the time we'll spend studying together; this young woman's charm is just too captivating.

"Isn't she?" Two girls noticed her and felt a little strange, but mostly happy and excited. She came too, which was great.

The girl remained silent, and Teacher Mingli didn't dare to speak either. The other students didn't interrupt either. This strange atmosphere lasted for half a minute before Ji Xiuyu finally couldn't help but bow and say, "I'm sorry, I... I'm a little afraid to face too many people."

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing..." "We don't feel disturbed at all." "So cute!" "I can't take it anymore, I'm going to fall for her." After she said that, the boys immediately laughed, and all sorts of comments reached her ears, making her feel even more uncomfortable.

In the end, it was Mingli who intervened and helped her resolve the matter.

She turned around and wrote the three characters "Ji Xiuyu" on the blackboard. Then, she turned back, spread her arms and placed them on either side of the desk, and looked at the people below, saying, "Her name is Ji Xiuyu, and she will be one of us from now on. I hope everyone can get along well."

"Um, I... my name is Ji Xiuyu. I hope everyone can get along well with me." After Teacher Mingli finished speaking, Ji Xiuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly introduced herself.

With a shy blush on her face, her delicate cherry lips parted and her bright eyes sparkled. At this moment, the girl seemed like a cherry blossom blooming in the brightest spring sunshine, the most beautiful cherry blossom, leaving everyone mesmerized.

However, there was no way around it; she possessed an aura that made both men and women irresistibly drawn to her, even attracted to her. Although it didn't offer much help when she wasn't in the "Hime Mizuiro" identity, it was still far better than being an ordinary person.

Especially in the hearts of these young boys and girls just beginning to experience love, such a person is simply too desirable.

"Hmm, your seat is the second to last one by the window in the last row. There's no one there, so go ahead." Teacher Mingli ignored them, glanced around at the few empty seats, and despite everyone's expectant gazes, deliberately placed her in a corner.

There were girls in front of and behind her at this seat, and only a few seats to her right had two boys there. If you wanted to see her, you had to turn your head to the side.

"I saw the person I'd been missing for days. I thought our paths would only cross for so long, but fate has given me such a wonderful gift. We'll become classmates, it's so great! But how should I get to know her?"

Riko sat next to Bu Qingqing, turned her head to look at what she was writing in a notebook, and then looked at Ji Xiuyu, a strange light suddenly flashing in her eyes.

So, Xiaoqing likes her too? That's wonderful! Now Xiaoqing and I have another shared hobby. But what should we do? How can we make her ours?

And also, is she a boy or a girl? I don't really care what the answer is, but I really want to know.

The first time I saw her, she was wearing androgynous clothes, right? She looked like a handsome man. Now, seeing her in a white dress, with her long hair turned moon white, she seems different again. It's strange.

Of course, Ji Xiuyu would be even more surprised if she and Bu Qingqing knew that they would recognize her in this state.

Because she could guarantee that unless someone was extremely familiar with her, like Alicia, it would be incredibly difficult to discern her identity after the change in appearance.

It was truly astonishing that these two girls, who had only met her once before, recognized her at first glance after she arrived.

Well, unlike these two girls who didn't care about the gender of the people they liked, those boys were much more heart-pounding.

As she passed by, there seemed to be a faint, elegant fragrance—the scent of roses.

The scent of roses emanating from her caused a stir in the hearts of the young men, drawing their attention to her even more.

In fact, Hime Hideyu did have a fragrance, but unlike the rose scent that men smelled, women smelled a faint lily scent.

It was a very strange smell, and it seemed to vary from person to person? She herself wasn't quite sure.

"Just stay here. Try not to contact these boys in the future, otherwise they will become the next Yuya. People like me must be the kind of people they really hate."

The girl sat in her seat, feeling uneasy. She gently propped up one arm, rested her chin on it, and looked out the window.

She needed time to calm down the excitement and the dizzying emotions she felt; otherwise, she should have been able to calm down quickly.

"Seriously, why are you staring at me like that? I can't take it anymore." After all, she wasn't the White Fairy Hime Mizuki. Usually, Hime Xiuyu was more afraid of contact with strangers, especially these men's burning gazes, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"This feels awful. Can you please stop looking at me?" The girl couldn't help but turn around, gently biting her lower lip, her watery eyes staring at them as if to say, "I'm angry! Stop looking at me!"

Unfortunately, she didn't know that the more she acted this way, the more they liked her.

Well, if things continue like this, even if these boys find out Ji Xiuyu's true gender, they probably won't care, right?

P.S.: I'm going to draw a girl who insists on being a boy, to drive you crazy with all the agonizing, to make you all turn gay, hehe~

Starting today, I'll be updating once a day, so... please support me, recommend me, and give me a reward QAQ

Chapter Twenty-One or Twenty-Two: Lilies? Or Roses?

"You must understand, our world is in constant danger. Humans and other races can only eke out a living by hiding in their own cities or tribes. If they want to communicate with each other, they must overcome countless difficulties to reach another city. Otherwise, they can only rely on communication crystals to remotely transmit information and images..."

"That is why humans and other races began to focus on cultivation... Hundreds of years have passed since that catastrophe, and geniuses and heroes from all races have emerged one after another..."

"Among them, the most famous are the group of human girls who saved the world a hundred years ago. Chu Meng, Kurosaki Rena and Claire are known as the three strongest 'Rose Swords'. It is because of the emergence of the three of them, with the 'Rose Sword' of multiple races united, that they resisted the attack of the monsters and fought back, which is why our world has survived to this day."

"But perhaps it was that world's self-salvation that made us so great that no hero has reached that level in the last hundred years. Recently, the monsters have been stirring, showing signs of a comeback. Who knows which race will be the next hero to save the world? Perhaps we are the last living beings of this era? These are all unknowable..."

"Now, let's open our books and review what I just said."

"Yes, the teacher wasn't making threats or boasting; these are all clearly documented in historical records. Even the last part of what the teacher said came from the mouth of Wong Tai Sin, the most famous prophet of our time. Although he didn't specify, it's clear that we can't let our guard down for a moment..."

"So, you over there, could you please pay attention in class? Even though she's very pretty, you've been staring at her since the start of class. Aren't you worried she'll dislike you?"

“We come here to learn, for him to improve himself, and for him to have the ability to live independently, instead of just daydreaming in class or looking at girls.”

As Mingli's voice reached her ears, Ji Xiuyu listened intently to the knowledge she had learned long ago.

She was just using this method to avoid being spied on, after all, a group of boys had been secretly watching her ever since she sat down, which was really embarrassing.

If you concentrate on listening to the lecture, you can forget all those prying eyes.

However, she did not expect that Teacher Mingli would care about her so much. Before she could say anything, she made the boys look away.

This made her extremely embarrassed. It was alright if she secretly looked, she could just pretend she didn't know.

After Teacher Mingli said that, she knew everything, and her feelings were quite complicated.

Helpless, the "girl" could only blush and turn her face away from the book, avoiding looking at others.

"Riko should become friends with her first, and then drive all these men away." The lively girl, just like those boys, had actually been paying attention to Hime Hideyu all along.

Compared to those inexperienced young boys, she was much more discreet, lowering her head and using her long hair to cover her eyes, but her gaze was not there.

Her spying went completely unnoticed; people even thought she was concentrating on reading and listening to a lecture, which fooled a lot of people.

Like most girls who idolize the 'Rose Sword,' Riko, deep down, doesn't care about the gender of the person she likes. Of course, she also dislikes boys she doesn't like.

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. You can use the remaining time to study on your own." After explaining a lot of knowledge, Mingli stopped to check the time and realized that it was almost time for the end of get out of class. So he stopped lecturing and let the students study on their own.

"I wonder what will happen in Oriana City. Before I left, Qianse seemed to have mentioned that the Remnant Clan had sent people over. Sigh." To calm herself down, she began to think about the things she had previously avoided.

"But there's no other way. After all, Mother's last wish must be fulfilled, and it has to start this semester at Tenjouin. I hope Chisara and the others can handle it well."

"Well, actually, arriving a little late shouldn't be a problem, right? That way, none of this would have happened."

"I don't care anymore. Anyway, I have nothing to do with him anymore. He has his own life, and I can manage on my own."

"'The Rose Sword,' eh..." The girl's thoughts were a bit chaotic and unfocused. She would think about one thing for a while, then turn to another, and eventually she didn't even know what she was thinking anymore.

When the pale purple rose lamp that symbolized the end of get out of class in the classroom shone, a commotion suddenly broke out around her. One by one, boys crowded around her, wanting to say something to her.

The girl, still a little dazed from the noise, turned around and immediately saw a group of boys. Her mind went blank, and she started imagining things.

"You, you mustn't come any closer..." She hugged her shoulders and huddled in the corner, looking helplessly at the group of boys with strange smiles on their faces, and refused.

"Hehehe, little beauty, let's see where you go now." The boy in the lead grinned lewdly, rubbing his hands together as if he really wanted to have the girl.

His words made the other boys laugh, and then without saying a word, they stepped forward, each holding one of her arms and one of her legs. Touching her fair and smooth skin, they became even more excited.

"Haha, little beauty, I'm here." The remaining boy who hadn't made a move said as he took off his clothes.
