I'll even show you crossdressing men.

After a moment of silence, Ji Shuise raised her head, looked at herself in the mirror with red eyes, and laughed: "I look so ugly, how can I go out and see people?"

Between her parted lips, a bite mark could be seen, with blood slightly seeping out.

Gently opening the storage space inside the bracelet, Ji Xiuyu took out her transformation tool, looked in the mirror, and lightly applied a layer of makeup to herself. Then, she used a magical potion to apply to her swollen eyes, and after a short while, she was completely restored to normal.

Perhaps because she had just come out, her eyes were filled with a shimmering light, adding a touch of delicate beauty to her already beautiful eyes.

Yingying stood up, glanced at her clothes, tidied herself up, and found nothing wrong. She then rubbed her face with both hands, gave herself a gentle smile in the mirror, and said, "Instead of blaming the world, I should fix myself. Even if I am alone for a lifetime, it doesn't matter."

That's what she said, but what she really thought is unknown to anyone; perhaps only she herself knows.

She slowly opened the fitting room door, and the moment she stepped out, time seemed to stand still in the store. She was the only one walking on the road; everyone and everything else was just an accessory.

"I...I...My God, how can there be such a beautiful person? Just like Hime Mizuki, they are both stunning beauties that are rare in this world." When he saw her walking over, Ishikawa Yuya's eyes widened, and his breathing became a little rapid.

Fortunately, Lina was also staring at him in a daze and didn't notice his unusual behavior. Always considering herself beautiful, she had assumed that there were only a handful of people in this city she couldn't compare to, but she never expected to encounter another one here.

However, Ji Shuise seemed not to see them at all. She walked in high heels, her waist swaying lightly as if in the wind. Combined with her noble and elegant black dress, she exuded a fatal allure.

Yet her smile was so gentle, as if this captivating body didn't belong to her. This contrast instantly amplified her charm.

One step, two steps, Ji Shuise slowly approached Ishikawa Yuya and his companion, brushing past them, leaving only a faint fragrance behind.

She never looked at him once from beginning to end.

"Natalie, this dress suits you very well, I want it too. I wonder if you would be willing to let me have it?" Walking up to Natalie, Ji Shuise turned around gently, her long hair fluttering, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

“It’s our honor. This outfit was waiting for its rightful owner, and now that it’s found one, it’s yours. Our shop owner said that if it’s suitable, you can just wear it and take it home without paying.” Even though Natalie was surprised that she seemed so nonchalant, as a sales assistant, she had to answer her question since she had been asked.

"Oh, I see. Then I won't stand on ceremony. I'll come again next time. It's so convenient to have someone like you here who can tell at a glance what clothes suit me." Ji Shuise paused, thought for a moment, and then went to the front desk to pay, still dressed as she was.

Watching her retreating figure, Natalie seemed to see a lonely shadow walking forward. She understood something, but didn't know what to say. She simply turned around, looked at Ishikawa Yuya and Lina, and asked with a cold expression, "I wonder what you two would like to buy?"

Her words startled them, and they quickly averted their gazes, reverting to their previous affectionate state.

Of course, no one wants to know what they're thinking anymore.

After paying, Hime Mizuki picked up the bag containing the two sets of clothes, smiled, turned around, and waved to Natalie: "See you next time."

"Miss, may you have a safe journey." Natalie bowed slightly, her gentlest smile as she watched her leave. This child was truly heartbreaking.

Then she turned around and looked at Ishikawa Yuya and Lina, all her tenderness vanished, leaving only indifference.

Don't these two people have any sense of shame at all?

Chapter Nine: You Are Mine

"What, just leaving like this?" I heard a man's voice behind me as soon as I stepped out of the store. It sounded familiar, like I'd heard it somewhere before.

She turned around, but before she could even see his face, her hand was grabbed, and the person pulled her into his arms.

"You're hurting me. If you have any questions, just ask. Now, please let go of me, okay?" She frowned and struggled gently, trying to break free from the hand that was holding her.

Unfortunately, the man ignored her struggles and whispered in her ear, "What, have you forgotten who I am after just a short time apart?"

Hearing him speak again, Ji Shuise began to remember who he was. She looked up, saw his smiling face, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Bai Ke, what do you want?"

"I want to do you..." Upon hearing her words, Bai Ke suddenly lowered his head again and gently licked her earring, causing her to jump back like a startled deer. However, because her hand was still being held by him, she could not move away and could only maintain a slight distance.

Extending her other hand, which wasn't being held, Ji Shuise took out a handkerchief and wiped her ear, staring at him with wide eyes, "What exactly do you want?"

"Haha, I already told you, didn't you hear me clearly? Do you want me to say it again?" Bai Ke laughed, seemingly pleased with her reaction. He pulled her closer again, this time pressing down on her waist to prevent her from moving at all.

"You...you...you let go first!" Ji Shuise's face was already turning red. She reached out and pounded on his chest, hoping he would let go of her.

"Are you sure?" Bai Ke would never do as she wished. Instead of letting go, he hugged her even tighter, his face pressed against her beautiful face, his warm breath brushing against her face, making her cheeks flush.

"I...I...I want to go back, please let me go." After remembering who he was, Ji Shuise understood her true identity. This person knew very well, which was why she was so timid. She didn't want to expose herself, and regardless of whether this man would actually do it, she wouldn't risk even the slightest chance.

Bai Ke looked at her large, clear eyes and clicked his tongue in amazement: "I mean, you're such a good person, how could Ishikawa Yuya say such things about you for the sake of a stupid woman? I really don't understand how his brain works."

Hearing his words, Ji Shuise struggled less, tilted her head back to look at him, and gave a sad smile: "You're the one who spread rumors about him, Ji Shuise, and Ji Xiuyu, and let his girlfriend know, right?"

"Very clever, you figured it out right away. You're much better than that idiot." Bai Ke smiled, looking at the bitterness in her eyes, and asked with interest, "You're really attracted to him? That shouldn't be the case. Even if he's your roommate and saved you, given your circumstances, he's not the kind of person who would catch your eye, is he?"

"It has nothing to do with you. All I want now is for you to let me go." The people around them had already noticed what was going on, but judging from their posture, they assumed they were a couple who had just had a fight. So, despite being amazed by Ji Shuise's beauty, they didn't pay much attention.

"Don't you want to know why I did this?" However, the man was completely unmoved and continued talking about his own affairs. As far as he was concerned, no matter how much the person in his arms struggled, as long as he didn't let go, she wouldn't be able to open her eyes. So, regardless of whether she wanted to or not, he just wanted her to know.

Upon hearing his words, Ji Shuise remained silent for a moment, closed her eyes, then opened them again and asked, "What is your purpose?"

"It's simple: I'll get you, embrace you, possess you, ravage you, and make you mine. No one else can touch you. I'll make you the most perfect person in the world, but you can only be beneath me... panting..." As he said this, his face was already very close to hers. Just a little bit more, and he would be able to kiss her alluring cherry lips.

Unfortunately, fate was not on his side. Just as he was about to take action, the door of the clothing store opened, and Ishikawa Yuya and Lina walked out one after the other.

"Bai Ke, what are you doing?" As soon as Ishikawa Yuya came out, he saw Bai Ke, who was restraining Ji Shuise's body. Others might not understand, but he, whose strength was almost the same as Bai Ke's, knew very well that she was being violently restrained by him.

He glanced at him sideways, a contemptuous smile curving his lips: "It's obvious I'm flirting with a beauty, what are you doing here?"

"You forced her, don't think I can't see it." Ignoring Lina tugging at his sleeve from behind, Ishikawa Yuya took a step forward, ready to make a move.

"My affairs are none of your business." She glanced at him lightly, her eyes filled with indifference. Seeing his expression, she suddenly smiled.

She broke free from his grip on her hands, cupped Bai Ke's face in her hands, stood on tiptoe, and gently kissed his cheek.

In Ishikawa Yuya's view, the scene of Hime Mizuki kissing Shiro's right cheek was conveniently obscured, so he didn't see whether the kiss actually happened, but he felt that it definitely did.

For some reason, a nameless fire suddenly rose in my heart, as if something that belonged to me had been taken away from me, and I felt resentful.

But what could he do? He could do nothing but watch Ji Shuise's actions quietly.

After kissing Bai Ke's cheek, Ji Shuise left his side, no longer glancing at Ishikawa Yuya, and instead pulled away with a smug-looking Bai Ke.

"Have you seen enough?" Lina's angry voice rang out from the side. Ishikawa Yuya, looking somewhat lost, simply said "Oh" and offered no further reply.

"You..." Seeing her beloved like this, Lina was really angry. She threw down the bag of clothes she was holding, lifted her skirt, and without caring that she was still wearing high heels, she started running away, crying as she went.

"Lina...Lina...wait for me, I was wrong..." It wasn't until she had walked over a hundred meters away that Ishikawa Yuya recovered. He quickly picked up the bag on the ground, took a deep look in the direction where Hime Mizuki had left, and then ran after Lina.

"Aren't you going to let go? Are you planning to drag me to your house?" At a corner, Bai Ke's smile faded, and he asked calmly.

"Thank you for your cooperation. I won't pursue what happened earlier." Ji Shuise released his hand, turned around, and there seemed to be some tears in her eyes, but those tears stubbornly refused to fall, just like her feelings.

"It's nothing. Seeing that bull looking so dejected makes me happy too." Bai Ke crossed his arms, looked at her face, and suddenly said seriously, "I like you even more now, and I will cherish you even more. I will definitely make you truly kiss me, not just for show. You just wait, sooner or later, you will be mine, exclusively mine."

"Thank you for your high regard, but I don't want to be yours, nor will I be anyone's." She took two steps back, making sure she wouldn't be grabbed by him again, before speaking.

"Who knows what the future holds? Anyway, I'll make you believe I'm capable of doing it." Bai Ke shrugged, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

"Really? How could someone like me deserve such favor?" With a slight smile, she turned and headed back the way she came.

The street returned to its former tranquility, as if no one had ever been there. But who knows what fate awaits these two people?

Chapter Ten: Moonlight

"What's wrong with me today? Was it because I was too excited yesterday? Or was it because I was scolded by the principal this morning and I'm in a bad mood?" Walking down the corridor, Ishikawa Yuya grinned and touched the back of his head, looking utterly depressed.

Shopping with Lina was supposed to be a wonderful experience, but someone leaked the news that she had rescued the white fairy princess Mizuiro last night and spent a long time with her.

Then Lina got angry, feeling that he had wronged her and that he had gone to great lengths to finally calm her down.

As a result, because of the woman he met at the clothing store, he angered her again, and she still hasn't forgiven him.

Although I did have my eye on that girl in the black dress, doesn't Lina know that she's the one I like?

Sigh, I need to treat her well these next few days, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble might arise.

"You're back? Yuya." Just as he opened the dormitory door, an incredibly gentle voice reached his ears. He was startled before realizing it was Hime Hideyu.

He entered the dormitory and closed the door behind him. He looked around but didn't see Ji Xiuyu. Just as he was wondering about this, a strand of hair being blown by the wind caught his eye from the balcony.

"I said some bad things in a moment of impulse today. Although he didn't hear them, I still feel a little sorry for him. But anyway, we're not related, so I don't need to take it to heart." He wanted to go up to him, but then he remembered what he had said at the clothing store that afternoon. After pausing for a moment, he comforted himself and walked up as if nothing had happened.

"Xiuyu, what are you doing here?" He walked across the balcony and asked instinctively, then froze.

The boy in front of me was wearing only a loose white shirt, sitting on the edge of the balcony, his long and beautiful legs swaying to the side.

After hearing Ishikawa Yuya's voice, he didn't turn his head to look at him, but just stared at the scenery below, lost in thought.

"I'm looking at this school. It's completely different from where I used to be. It feels like I want to learn something here. There's a very safe and peaceful atmosphere here, making me want to fall asleep here." The boy gently smoothed his flowing hair with his slender, fair fingers, a gentle smile curving his lips.

At that moment, in his eyes, he was like a moonlit fairy. That face, no less beautiful than any he had ever seen, radiated a captivating charm.

Shaking his head hard to dispel those strange thoughts, Ishikawa Yuya coughed twice and said, "Of course, after all, Tenjouin is a century-old prestigious school, and its atmosphere and ambiance are certainly not comparable to those of ordinary schools."

He forced himself to look away from his alluring legs, because those perfectly proportioned legs were too attractive to him, given his slight foot fetish.

Especially in such an elegant setting, bathed in moonlight, his legs seemed to gleam with a jade-like color and luster, which was truly captivating.

He kept repeating to himself, "This guy is a man... this guy is a man... this guy is a man... this guy is a man... this guy is a man... this guy is a man..." until he could finally control his gaze.

Seemingly sensing that he was acting strangely, Ji Xiuyu turned her head and looked at him with her clear, watery eyes, asking curiously, "Yuya, are you tired? If you are, then take a good shower. I've already finished showering, so you'll have to take care of yourself this time."

He finished speaking and chuckled softly, as if a gentle young girl was giving him instructions. After shifting his legs, he put his hands under his knees, rested his face on his thighs, and said with half-closed eyes, "I'm enjoying the breeze here, it's very comfortable."

"Then be careful." Ishikawa Yuu, who was worried that he might do something terrible, breathed a sigh of relief, said a few words, and then grabbed a few clothes as if he were fleeing into the bathroom.

"Yes, you should be careful." With a strange smile, Ji Xiuyu gently twirled the ends of her hair, her eyes fixed on her legs, which were neither too long nor too short, neither too fat nor too thin. She murmured, "Do you really think I don't know? I'm just pretending not to know. Since you want me to not know, then I won't know."

But he would never do that, no matter what.

As he pondered, his gaze drifted off into a daze, and it was unclear what he was thinking about.

A breeze blew, causing the white hem of her dress to flutter. The summer night breeze lacked the chill of other times, instead offering a refreshing coolness that dispelled the heat, leaving one feeling incredibly comfortable.

After an unknown amount of time, Ishikawa Yuya finally finished showering, changed his clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.

Now that he's calmed down, he feels he can no longer have any thoughts about his attractive roommate, after all...

"This guy is a man...this guy is a man...this guy is a man...this guy is a man..." That was what he was thinking, but when he looked at Ji Xiuyu, he forgot about it.

The young man in white tilted his head, playing with a tuft of his long hair, a gentle and captivating smile on his lips.

One leg was bent in front of him, while the other was stretched out, making his figure appear slender and delicate, like a sickly and beautiful young girl.

"Xiuyu..." he couldn't help but call out.

However, his shout seemed to startle Ji Xiuyu, who was engrossed in his work. He lost his balance and fell down the stairs.

That poignant glance back was filled with panic and lingering regret; it's unclear what he was thinking.

At that moment, Ishikawa Yuu did not hesitate any longer. He flashed forward and, just before the boy was about to fall, wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him into his embrace.

The boy, probably startled, instinctively snuggled into his arms. He pushed Ishikawa Yu without warning, causing him to fall backward and land on his back on the balcony.
