Chu Zihang raised his eyelids slightly: "Oh."

"Aren't you afraid I'll be bribed into joining the student council?" Xia Mu asked with a smile.

"You can't." Chu Zihang shook his head honestly.

Because you called me senior brother a long time ago… he thought to himself.

"You're really confident," Xia Mu shrugged.

Chu Zihang thought for a moment and said, "Caesar's social ball is troublesome. You have to wear formal attire, and school uniforms are not formal attire. Don't forget that."

Xia Mu paused for a moment: "Yeah, I hope my and Yi Yi's big suitcases will arrive tomorrow."

What we brought today was only Erii's serum; their luggage was still being checked in.

"It's almost 5 o'clock, shall we go eat?" Chu Zihang glanced at his watch.

“Let’s go,” Xia Mu jumped out of bed, “and see what the academy’s food is like.”

"Shall we bring Xia Liyi too?"

"Ah."

The two left side by side.

How are you doing now?

"Isn't this what you've always wanted to ask?"

Chu Zihang nodded slightly: "Mm."

What's your relationship with that Susie?

Does this have anything to do with the question I asked you?

"Have."

Chu Zihang turned his head: "What contact?"

Xia Mu replied to him very seriously: "They all fall under the category of gossip."

Chapter 144 Xia Mi's Little House

As dusk fell, Xia Mi returned to the old neighborhood hidden behind the high-rise buildings.

It's rare to find sycamore trees still here, their leaves all fallen, the bare branches slicing the dim sunlight into fragments.

Building No. 31 is an old building with red brick walls, cement balconies, and green-painted wooden windows. Its age is hard to say. The hallway is poorly lit, with only a few dim incandescent lights illuminating it. The walls are covered with small advertisements for "drain cleaning" or "invoice issuance".

A blue-painted doorplate reading "Unit 15, Room 201" was nailed to the green wooden door.

The aroma of stir-fried dishes and the sound of parents disciplining their children wafted from next door, creating a warm and happy atmosphere.

As Xia Mi took out her keys to open the door, the elderly neighbor suddenly appeared from somewhere, carrying two scallions and with a kind face: "Xia Mi is back?"

Xia Mi nodded, a bright and cheerful smile appearing on her face: "Yeah, school's over."

"You won't be living here anymore after you go to university, right?" the old lady asked with a smile.

"Probably not, I'm going to study at a university abroad." Xia Mi's bright eyes seemed to be looking very far away.

The old lady's eyes suddenly lit up: "So, are you selling this house or not? My grandson is getting married in a year, and we'll need to buy another house. We're all neighbors, so instead of going through an agent, it's better to just buy and sell directly..."

"Not for sale."

Xia Mi interrupted her crisply, her smile suddenly fading: "This is the last thing my parents left me, I won't sell it."

The old lady paused for a moment, then retreated somewhat awkwardly.

The door opened, and the setting sun rushed in, with Xia Mi standing in the sunlight.

"I am back!"

She smiled as she spoke, but her expression slowly began to change; the bright, sunny smile gradually faded until she became expressionless.

Directly opposite the door is a large floor-to-ceiling window, through which a huge sunset is falling.

The dim sunlight cast shadows of windowpanes on the ground, like black cages.

As soon as she closed the door, Xia Mi felt as if she had become Jormungandr for a moment.

The room was empty except for a bed in the center of the room, an old-fashioned five-drawer chest in the corner, and a gas stove and an old-fashioned double-door refrigerator in the other corner.

That's all the furniture.

She walked over and opened the chest of drawers.

This is a full five-drawer chest, neatly organized. Hair accessories, ranging from wooden to metal to tortoiseshell, and even shimmering satin bows, are stacked in cardboard boxes; long socks, short socks, cotton socks, and stockings are all rolled up and placed side by side on one side of a drawer, like a nest of fluffy squirrels, while on the other side are colorful underwear, also neatly folded.

In addition to these, there is a separate floor for vintage record players, as well as rows of neatly arranged and exquisite records.

Xia Mi brought out the record player, and then took out a brand new record from her schoolbag... "Like Smoke".

If you were to take out all the records in the cabinet, you would find that they were all the works of the same person.

Dragons, like humans, were originally just children who came into this world.

Jormungandr needs support.

Xia Mi needs it even more.

Xia Mi once told Chu Zihang that Xia Mu was also her friend, and that was true, but Xia Mu herself didn't know it.

She gently placed the record away, turned around and sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard and hugging her knees.

The bed sheets and comforter are simple white, and the pillows are also white, except they have Rilakkuma patterns on them.

The little yellow bear sat on the corner of the pillow, looking serious.

I sat by the window, gazing outside, memories flooding back…

A clear, boyish voice echoed in the cabin.

Xia Mi faced the setting sun.

The sun was about to set, and darkness crept in from the window, casting her long shadow on the wall.

There were faint sounds of noise outside; children were playing basketball on the playground after school.

She has been living this kind of life for years.

She has no parents, no mentally challenged brother, no one to cook for her, no one to talk to her. She sits here in the quiet of the night, listening to human voices and trying to understand human behavior.

This dragon named "Jormungandr" fabricated a life for someone named "Xia Mi." How much of her is Xia Mi? Or perhaps Xia Mi doesn't actually exist at all, but is just a phantom shadow.

"In my ears, before my eyes, this life is being relived."

"I came from darkness, and I have returned to darkness."

"In this world, in a fleeting moment, between heaven and earth, who will I be next time..."

Xia Mi slowly closed her eyes.

The setting sun withdrew its last rays, and night enveloped her like a curtain…

The next day.

The rising sun, full of vitality, illuminated the entire Kassel College.

Natsuki and Erii began their first day of university life, choosing courses, attending classes, and meeting and getting to know all sorts of classmates.

In the evening, their luggage was finally delivered to their dormitory.

Perhaps it wasn't so much luggage as an entire dressing room that was moved in, filled with everything from winter clothes to summer dresses, making up almost half of the dormitory.

"We're going to a dance tonight, let's change."

Xia Mu looked at the girls' dresses that covered one whole wall, and an excited smile appeared on his lips.

The various clothes specially made for Erii finally arrived, allowing him to dress up this perfect girl to his heart's content.

"Come on, let's start with the first set and change into them one by one until we find the one that suits us best." Xia Mu handed her the clothes.

Erii's eyes were clearly filled with joy.

As a girl, and one who knows she's pretty, it's naturally hard to resist so many beautiful clothes.

She habitually loosened her belt, and her shrine maiden robes fell away like pieces of cloud.

Xia Mu was also able to focus his gaze solely on her small face, ignoring the glimpses of her from the corner of his eye.

The first outfit was a long black dress that covered her from shoulders to ankles completely, and the slender black high heels made her almost as tall as Xia Mu's ears.

But formal dresses are always the most daring clothes that you wouldn't normally wear out, so how could they really be so conservative?

When Erii finished putting her red hair up in a high bun and turned around, Natsuki was immediately greeted by a dazzling display of fair skin.

This is a backless dress that runs from her delicate nape of the neck to her beautiful, exquisite shoulder blades, along her snow-white back where the water cannot reach, all the way to her beautiful lower back, and only covers her again at almost the rounded part.

Xia Mu's Adam's apple bobbed: "How about we turn around?"

Erii lifted her skirt with both small hands and twirled gently around.

Xia Mu almost suffocated.

Is it pretty?

Erii got the answer when she saw Natsuki's eyes.

Girls' intuition is always very accurate; the only difference is whether they are willing to trust their intuition.

Xia Mu couldn't take his eyes off it, and after a while he brought out another set: "Try this one."

"it is good!"

Erii noticed his gaze, and a ripple of joy spread through her heart...

Chapter 145 Dressing Erii

The second outfit is a short dress made of chiffon, without a back, but it's so short it barely covers the top of the thighs, while showing off her beautiful shoulders and delicate collarbones.

Girls are always exceptionally talented at showcasing their beauty. Erii turned around in front of the full-length mirror, then reached out and untied her long, coiled hair, letting it fall smoothly like rosy clouds. She then put on a pair of cute, snow-white mid-heeled shoes, which further accentuated her long, straight, jade-like legs.
