Wang Dong Grew Up

The female student Huo Yuhao had been helping along ran for a while and felt herself recover somewhat. She released Huo Yuhao and continued running on her own. "Class Monitor, I can't hold you back. I've recovered a little now, so use your speed and run ahead."

Huo Yuhao did not refuse. He nodded and let go of her. Once he saw that she had not fallen, he relaxed and accelerated.

Running was sometimes like that. When you persisted past your limit and broke through it, running actually became easier and easier.

As class was nearly over, Huo Yuhao saw a White-Clothed Man standing at the edge of the square, smiling as he watched the students of New Student Class One.

Finally, the dismissal bell rang. The students who had been holding on collapsed onto the ground all at once like a line of falling dominoes, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Huo Yuhao had not collapsed, but Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao, passing by, grabbed his Iron Clothes and pulled him down.

Wang Dong rested her head on Huo Yuhao's thigh. Seeing this, Xiao Xiao followed suit and rested her head on his other thigh.

Wang Dong lightly rubbed against Huo Yuhao's thigh and adjusted herself into a comfortable position. "I really don't understand why you bother with those classmates. Isn't it enough for us to do our own thing?"

Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky and thought blankly for a while before slowly saying, "Maybe it's because I want to do something. If life is only about becoming stronger, it'll be too monotonous in the end."

"Wouldn't it be better to enjoy life while getting stronger?" Wang Dong's tone carried a trace of complaint. She suddenly flipped herself upright, her pale blue eyes serious as she looked at Huo Yuhao. "But no matter what you do, I'll support you!"

Huo Yuhao gazed at Wang Dong. Her blue eyes shone brilliantly, and beads of sweat slid from her hair down her slender neck before disappearing into her collarbones.

Huo Yuhao revealed a bright smile, concealing the momentary daze in his eyes.

Maiden, if you keep being this alluring, I really will make a move!

Seeing all the students of New Student Class One sprawled on the ground, the White-Clothed Man drifted over. Seven Soul Rings rose beneath his feet. He raised both hands, and a small green tree grew from his palms.

The man swayed, and his entire body vanished. Yet the little tree grew wildly, instantly becoming a towering tree. Emerald-green leaves fell and flew from its branches, drifting lightly down onto every student.

At that moment, everyone felt the exhaustion in their bodies rapidly fading. Their aching muscles and minor wounds recovered at an astonishing speed, while their stamina gradually returned as well.

Huo Yuhao recovered first. As the Class Monitor, he stood and thanked the man. The man said nothing, merely nodded with a smile before drifting away.

Only then did the students have the strength to get up. Looking at one another, sweaty and grimy from lying on the ground, they burst into laughter.

Some of the weaker female students heard the laughter of the classmates who had supported them before collapsing together. Their pretty faces flushed as they tidied their appearance, but after seeing how their companions looked, they could not help laughing as well.

Perhaps this was the joy that came after working hard together.

Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, and Xiao Xiao, who had recovered, were the first to leave. The classmates they passed called out one after another with smiles, "Goodbye, Class Monitor!"

He smiled and waved back in farewell.

When Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong returned to their dormitory, Huo Yuhao could not wait to change out of his sweat-soaked clothes.

Wang Dong was still somewhat embarrassed when she saw him bare-chested. Huo Yuhao could not help teasing her.

"I'm taking a shower first. Want to come with me?"

Wang Dong's cheeks reddened. Her delicate brows drew together as she snapped in embarrassment, "Get lost!"

Only after Huo Yuhao came out of the bathroom did Wang Dong pretend nothing had happened and go take a shower.

"Are you sure you don't need me to leave first?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"No," Wang Dong muttered. "After I'm done, we'll go find Nan Nan-jie and the others together."

"The child has finally grown up and learned how to be considerate."

Seeing that Wang Dong was not trying to avoid him while showering this time, Huo Yuhao felt a strange sense of satisfaction, as though he had raised her well.

"Get lost!" Wang Dong replied succinctly.

In the bathroom, after a transformation, Wang Dong changed from the build of a young man into the graceful, exquisite figure of a maiden. Amid the sound of splashing water, streams flowed down her smooth Jade Back and slid to her slender waist, where the curve of her hips forced them apart. They trickled down her long, straight, snow-white legs.

The sound of water stopped. Wang Dong took a towel from the side and wiped her body, from her long, elegant neck and jade-like collarbones to her fair, slender figure, all the way until she bent down.

The maiden allowed her delicate, graceful figure to be revealed as she bent over. Her brows were furrowed, as though she were pondering something.

After wiping herself for a long while, Wang Dong straightened up and rustled into her clothes. Another transformation followed, and the maiden's short hair changed into beautiful long hair.

With a soft knock of the door, Wang Dong appeared before Huo Yuhao like a lotus emerging from the water.

"Why did you suddenly return to your female appearance?" Seeing Wang Dong as she was now, Huo Yuhao's gaze froze for a moment as he asked in surprise. Her hair was slightly damp and draped over her back, while her fair face was flushed a little red. The freshly bathed maiden exuded a hint of lazy, disheveled charm. Her temperament was pure, but that laziness and disorder added a touch of alluring seduction to her, making one unable to resist wanting to discover just how dazzling she would be when that disheveled charm was fully displayed upon her.

She wore the loose short shirt from her male attire, but it still could not conceal her budding curves.

Huo Yuhao lowered his gaze and thought, As expected of Tang San's daughter, born inherently evil. She actually has me completely wrapped around her finger without even trying!

Huo Yuhao, Huo Yuhao, you must stand firm. You must eat the sugar coating and send the cannonball back!

"I just finished bathing. It's more comfortable to return to my original appearance."

The maiden pretended to be unconcerned as she brushed aside her disheveled Beautiful Hair, but her crystalline, rosy earlobes exposed the unrest in her heart.

The two fell silent for a moment. Finally, Huo Yuhao broke the quiet.

"When you're dressed as a boy, do you change your figure too, or only your appearance while keeping the same figure?"

"Of course I change my figure too. Shouldn't you know that?" Wang Dong found Huo Yuhao's question rather baffling.

"So, when you're dressed as a boy, you don't need the Intimate Clothing you wear as a girl?" Huo Yuhao tried to remind Wang Dong as tactfully as possible.

"Why would I wear those clothes when I'm dressed as a boy? If someone found out, wouldn't I—I'd become a pervert?" Wang Dong said softly. Mentioning Intimate Clothing inevitably made the maiden a little shy.

Just then, someone knocked on the dormitory door.

Wang Dong hurriedly returned to her male appearance. As her appearance shifted, she lowered her gaze—and was startled. She could not help crying out, her cheeks flushing crimson.

She hadn't been wearing it just now. She normally didn't need it when dressed as a boy, so in her agitation, she had forgotten. Huo Yuhao, he...

Remembering the young man's roundabout reminder, Wang Dong bit her lip and forced down her embarrassment as she changed back into her male attire.

Huo Yuhao opened the door, and Xiao Xiao's lovely face poked in.

Her lively, sparkling eyes swept up, down, left, and right over Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong's dorm room before she pushed the door open and skipped inside.

Xiao Xiao's puzzled gaze drifted between Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong as she muttered, "Strange. I clearly heard a girl scream from your dorm room just now, Class Monitor. Why are there only the two of you when I come in?"
