Anne Weisz Swinton

Chapter 3: Anne Weisz Swinton

Opening his eyes again, Lu Xing was met with darkness. He thought he was still in his dorm room and reached out to the side to find his phone and check the time. After fumbling around, he didn't find his phone. Instead, his hand touched soft, comfortable fabric, like a silk quilt.

"I've transmigrated again!?"

Lu Xing's sleepiness vanished completely. He looked down and, by the moonlight, saw the rabbit-like whiteness of his chest, wrapped in a light, soft nightgown.

This young girl's body had no underwear...

Lu Xing's blood surged, and it took him a while to calm himself down.

The room was very dark, with only the moonlight streaming through the window providing illumination. Lu Xing spent a long time trying to discern his surroundings, barely recognizing that the decor style was neither Chinese nor from the future world, but rather Western palace style.

The room where this young lady with snow-white skin and thick long hair resided was very large. The bed was a luxurious one, over two meters long and wide, covered with several layers of sheets. Gauze curtains hung from above to the floor, adorned with numerous gemstone decorations, making it unimaginably opulent.

"Xiao Ai, turn on the light? Turn on the light?"

Lu Xing fumbled around the bedside and on the bed for a long time but couldn't find a light switch, remote control, or voice assistant.

The room remained dark.

It was only then that he realized how difficult it was to adapt to life after transmigrating. When he transmigrated into Jiang Xuannv, the lights came on as soon as he woke up, fully automated and intelligent.

"Have I come to ancient times?"

Lu Xing gave up looking for a light switch and chose to get out of bed.

But another problem quickly arose.

He couldn't find the shoes of this suspected medieval noble lady!

They weren't on either side of the bed. The floor was only covered with a thick, soft carpet, comfortable enough that the noble lady's delicate palms wouldn't feel uncomfortable stepping on it.

"Forget it, I'll go barefoot."

Lu Xing got out of bed, his now smaller feet stepping onto the carpet, and began to slowly explore this unfamiliar world.

He first went to the window and, using the moonlight, looked at himself, or rather, at the appearance of this noble lady.

She wasn't old, looking under twenty, with a tall figure, fair and tender skin like jade, and thick, smooth golden hair that cascaded in waves behind her head.

Lu Xing resisted the urge to explore the noble lady's figure.

After all, they would be switching back later.

Although no one would know if he didn't say anything and touched whatever he wanted, Lu Xing was a good young man raised under the red flag and wasn't so desperate that he couldn't control himself.

Resist.

Wearing an expensive nightgown and with the noble lady's bare jade feet, Lu Xing walked around the room. He found that her room was indeed very large. The inner room was a living area, and outside there was a reception room with a fireplace, bookshelves, a desk, porcelain, and unknown animal bones and clubs on the walls.

"Animal bones and skins are usually displayed to show the owner's martial prowess... Does this noble lady also hunt?"

Lu Xing frowned, vaguely feeling that the noble lady he had transmigrated into this time had an unusual identity.

Time slowly passed, and the sky gradually brightened. A knock came from outside the door.

Lu Xing tiptoed quickly back to bed and lay down again. The unfamiliar world and unfamiliar relationships made him inevitably feel nervous.

This place was completely different from the future world he had been to!

Jiang Xuannv's relationship with this noble young lady was also completely different.

"Miss Anne, I'm coming in."

Along with a voice, the door opened, followed by footsteps, and then another call of "Miss Anne."

Lu Xing felt much more at ease. The other party wasn't speaking English, as he heard it without any sense of separation, for some unknown reason.

He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

It wasn't until the maids came to his bedside that the person who had spoken earlier knelt on the bed, came to his side, reached out and gently pushed him.

And softly called out: "Miss Anne, it's time for you to get up. Lying in bed is not a habit a noble lady should have."

Sorry, I'm not a noble lady, and even less your Miss Anne!

Lu Xing slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was a beautiful and delicate face. She was slightly older than Lu Xing, with eyes that were emerald green, like a crystal clear amber. Her eye sockets were deep, her nose bridge high, and her temperament was cold and stunning, with facial features that possessed a strong sense of three-dimensional beauty.

"Miss Anne, you're awake?"

Seeing him wake up, the maid with emerald green eyes respectfully got off the bed. After Lu Xing saw her stand steady, he lightly raised a hand and pointed. The chandelier hanging in the room lit up, followed by other light fixtures one by one, illuminating the entire room in a magnificent display.

"So it's a magic lamp!"

Lu Xing blurted out. The group of maids looked over strangely, and the maid with emerald green eyes also cast a look of confusion.

Lu Xing covered it up with an awkward smile—he didn't know what kind of awkward expression he was making now with Miss Anne's face.

But it seemed, perhaps, these maids had never seen Miss Anne smile like this before.

After a moment of silence, the maid spoke: "Miss Anne, you should get up. This morning you have your favorite Alchemy class. Professor Isaac will be here soon to wait for you."

Alchemy?!

Lu Xing was drenched in sweat.

Before the National Day holiday, he was still learning algorithms and data structures in class. Today, he was suddenly told to attend a noble young lady's Alchemy class, and a noble young lady from a magical different world at that.

Kill him, he wouldn't know any Alchemy!

"Miss?"

A maid asked softly, and the head maid was also looking at him.

Silence, silence was the Cambridge of this evening.

"I'm sick today!"

Lu Xing, in a moment of desperation, said in a clear and pleasant girlish voice.

He had to admit, Miss Anne's voice was as pure as her appearance. It sounded like a very healthy, lively, and energetic noble young lady.

Such a vibrant noble young lady wouldn't get sick, would she...

Lu Xing was again drenched in sweat, because he saw that these maids indeed looked stunned, as if they hadn't seen Miss Anne sick for a long time.

The maid with emerald green eyes looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze. After a moment, she spoke expressionlessly:

"Esteemed Miss Swinton, this is the first time you've lied since you were six years old!"

She then added, "The last time you lied was when you were running in the garden, accidentally fell and injured your wrist. You were afraid Madam would scold you, so you claimed the floor in the hall was too slippery. Madam even replaced the floor tiles in the hall because of it."

How extravagant, how wasteful!

Lu Xing, who was used to being poor, complained inwardly, then forced a smile onto Miss Anne's delicate little face: "I, I'm just sick today. Please go tell the teacher that I won't be attending class today!"

Although he felt very sorry for Miss Anne, Lu Xing just wanted to get through today. Other things could be dealt with later!

The maids exchanged glances, seemingly seeing the unreasonable Miss Anne for the first time.

The maid with emerald green pupils leaned closer, bent down, and met the gaze of Lu Xing, who was trying hard to remain calm but was still feeling guilty. After a moment, the maid straightened her slender waist and said seriously, "Alright, Miss Anne, I'll go tell Madam later that you're sick and ask Madam to send someone to the church to invite a pastor to examine you."

"Don't... uh, I mean, my illness isn't serious..."

"You're being willful and unreasonable, not sick, right?"

"..."
