Walking out of Xu Yuanyun’s place, she glanced back and said, “Brother Zhao, you’ve scared everyone, and they haven’t quite recovered yet.”

“That’s precisely the effect I wanted. They know my identity now, and I hope they won’t bother you all anymore.”

Yun Yao looked worried. “But you’ve made our relationship public. I’m afraid it might affect your reputation.”

“I don’t care. You are the ones I care about most.” Yun Yao leaned happily against me, drawing the attention of passersby.

Before they reached the girls’ dormitory, snowflakes began to fall. Yun Yao held out her hand to catch two flakes. “Brother Zhao, the New Year is coming soon. Mother said I should go back home for a visit before the year ends; I need to light incense at my father’s grave.”

I affectionately took Yun Yao’s hand. “That’s as it should be. If I have time, I’ll go with you. It only takes a few hours anyway.”

“Mm, but I really shouldn’t interrupt your schedule—you’re so busy now. Oh, weren't we supposed to go eat? Why are we heading back to the dorm?”

“Zhao Ting invited me for dinner.”

“Hehe, your goddaughter? She has such a great figure, I’m so envious. You—you shouldn’t that with the two of them tonight, okay? The dance teacher criticized me again today, saying if my chest keeps developing like this, I won’t be able to dance anymore.”

Recalling the scene I’d glimpsed just moments ago while leaning against the window, I said, “Pay her no mind. As long as I like watching, that’s all that matters.”

Ouyang Qing learned that I wasn’t coming home for dinner tonight, so she tracked down Zhou Ni’s dorm and brought Su Xue and Xu Chen along. Fortunately, Zhou Ni’s dorm was well-prepared, so there was no shortage of food for everyone. Surrounded by six beautiful women of varying shapes and distinct personalities, I became the 'women’s director.' With the influence of the other girls, Zhao Ting’s initial hesitation about my identity quickly dissolved. In reality, I wasn’t as mysterious as she imagined; I was just an ordinary person.

After we were full, Su Xue suggested I come to their dorm to hang out. Zhou Ni and Yun Yao decided it was too late to go home that night, telling me to head back by myself if I felt tired.

Xu Chen had the lowest tolerance for alcohol; after playing just two hands of cards in their dorm, she couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto her bed. Su Xue climbed onto her own bed, holding the cards. “Junior Brother, come here. Let’s play something exciting. Whoever loses has to take off an item of clothing.”

Su Xue clearly no longer considered herself an outsider. Since Xu Chen was asleep and Ouyang Qian was Su Xue’s designated partner, there was no point in playing cards; it was better to get things done sooner.

I lunged and pinned Su Xue underneath me. “Why not just take it all off now?”

Su Xue didn't mind in the slightest that I was flattening her chest. “Fine, we’ll strip. Qianqian and I have never been afraid of a scene like this.”

Ouyang Qing laughed from under the bed. “Don’t drag me into this. Do you realize you’ve delayed the plans of several sisters behind you?”

“What are you talking about?” Su Xue asked.

“You insisted on occupying the sixteenth spot, and Zhao Qian favors you so much, so the others just have to wait anxiously,” Ouyang Qian explained.

Su Xue reached under my pants and grabbed my little brother. “Really? Am I going to be a sinner then? Then tonight, in this dorm where we’ve lived for years, I’ll end my maidenhood. Come on, Qianqian, I’m scared alone. The first time is always painful, right? Before, when we played games, Zhao Qian always closed his eyes, but now he’s watching me, and I’m too shy to undress.”

Ouyang Qing picked up a black silk scarf and blindfolded me. “Is this acceptable? Here, I’ll teach you.”

Su Xue laughed. “You don’t need to teach me;
