Ye Qiu Learns Bad Habits Quickly

Not many people had returned to the Seventh Dorm yet, but it was already filled with noise. The work-study students were sharing amusing stories from home and dividing up local specialties.

Xiao Wu did not join them. She lay on her bed with her chin propped on her small hand, quietly watching the doorway.

Click!

The tightly shut door was pushed open a crack, letting in a beam of light.

Xiao Wu's eyes brightened slightly, a trace of anticipation rising in her heart as she slowly sat up on her knees.

"Ye Qiu—!"

As the door fully opened.

Xiao Wu could not help crying out as she looked at the black-haired youth bathed in golden sunlight. A radiant gleam flashed through her crimson eyes, and her little face flushed red with excitement.

A pink glow spread over her body. A soft rabbit tail appeared behind her, along with a pair of pink rabbit ears atop her head. Her third soul ring lit up, and Xiao Wu, who had been kneeling on the bed, vanished from it.

Ye Qiu had only just pushed open the door to the Seventh Dorm when he heard a crisp, excited cry before he could react. His vision blurred, his body suddenly grew heavy, and a petite pink figure abruptly latched onto him.

Perhaps because she was used to using her Soft Skill, Xiao Wu's legs were wrapped tightly around Ye Qiu, while her arms clung firmly around his neck. She stared fixedly at him, seeming almost overwhelmed with joyful tears.

"Ye Qiu! You finally came back!"

"Mm, I'm back."

Ye Qiu smiled gently.

Quietly listening to the soft, familiar voice beside his ear and breathing in the long-missed fragrance lingering beneath his nose, Ye Qiu could not help wrapping his arms around Xiao Wu's waist.

As his hands encircled her waist, he accidentally brushed against that little white-and-pink tail. Xiao Wu let out a soft moan, her delicate body trembling lightly.

Men learned bad habits quickly. Having grown used to grabbing snake tails and drinking snake milk, Ye Qiu noticed something unusual about Xiao Wu and became eager to try. Curious, he gently held her tail and gave it a squeeze.

"Mmph~ Ye Qiu... don't touch there!"

Xiao Wu bit her pearly teeth, her face turning crimson. She did not resist, merely tightening her hold around Ye Qiu as her delicate body trembled faintly.

Her large round crimson eyes fixed on Ye Qiu. This guy seemed to have changed somewhat. He had never played with her tail before; at most, he had only tugged her rabbit ears a couple of times.

"Fine, I'll touch it later."

Ye Qiu nodded slightly and released her little tail. Instead, he supported Xiao Wu's perky backside and slowly walked into the Seventh Dorm.

"Later...?"

Xiao Wu pursed her red lips, her gaze flickering. She felt unbearably shy, yet seemed to tacitly accept it without saying anything. Clinging tightly to Ye Qiu, she rested against his shoulder and softly said, "Ye Qiu, I already made your bed for you. I even aired out your blanket."

"Is that so?" Ye Qiu raised an eyebrow with a smile and looked toward his bed. Sure enough, it had all been neatly made. He lightly patted Xiao Wu's butt and said softly, "Then I won't hold it against you for climbing onto my bed without permission again."

"What's there to hold against me? You're not allowed to bully Sister Xiao Wu. I've already been so good!" Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and muttered as she hugged Ye Qiu, gently breathing in that long-missed scent.

"Boss! Long time no see. Why do I feel like you've gotten much more handsome?!" The speaker was Zhang Wei. Ever since Wang Sheng had left, he had become the top person beneath the Seventh Dorm's F3.

"Haha... You have a good eye." Ye Qiu laughed heartily. After undergoing Ice-Fire Body Tempering and being transformed by the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, his appearance had indeed improved considerably. He had bright eyes, white teeth, and an elegant bearing; the contours of his face had become more defined. Xiao Wu's legs clamped around the eight abdominal muscles at his waist, yet he felt no discomfort. He had grown significantly taller as well—Xiao Wu now only reached his chin.

Hearing Zhang Wei's words.

Xiao Wu also curiously raised her head to look at Ye Qiu. Tilting her head, she found that he did indeed seem much better-looking. After meeting his gaze, her face reddened as she leaned back against his shoulder. Her long, well-proportioned legs tightened slightly. They seemed to have become firmer and thicker too?

Tang San, who had just walked over, also noticed that Ye Qiu seemed somewhat different. Not only was he much shorter than Ye Qiu now, but he could even sense a faint pressure from him—the pressure of a strong person.

"I say... shouldn't you get down now?"

Ye Qiu released his arms and stood beside the bed, gently shaking his body twice to remind the rogue rabbit who was still clinging to him and unwilling to come down.

"Ah, oh, right. I'm getting down."

Xiao Wu stepped onto her own bed with a flushed face. Only then did she come to her senses and hurriedly look around, discovering that everyone else was watching her. She immediately became unbearably embarrassed, widened her crimson eyes, and snapped, "What are you looking at? What's so interesting to see?! Do you believe Sister Xiao Wu will throw every one of you out?!"

Xiao Wu was still quite intimidating. Before her words had even faded, everyone in the Seventh Dorm had shifted their gazes away.

Only then did Xiao Wu feel much more at ease.

When she came back to herself, Tang San was already standing before Ye Qiu.

"Little San, how have you been these past two months? Did Uncle Haozi come back to keep being your dad?"

"Ye Qiu, your tongue is still as sharp as ever!"

Tang San rolled his eyes helplessly, a trace of disappointment appearing in them.

Clearly, Tang Hao had gone out hunting and had yet to return.

Or perhaps Tang San simply did not know that the rat was lurking in some dark corner, watching him.

"Haha... I'm used to it already."

Ye Qiu smiled casually.

"I'm used to it too. Otherwise, I'd have to fight you for three hundred rounds."

Tang San said speechlessly. Not wanting to continue bickering with Ye Qiu, he wore a faint smile.

"Still, you've finally come back. Xiao Wu has been waiting for you for quite some time. She hasn't even gone to eat yet."

"Oh?"

Ye Qiu did not bother with Tang San's overconfident talk of three hundred rounds. Instead, he looked at Xiao Wu in surprise. Seeing her shyly lower her head, her chin tucked against her chest, he could not help smiling. He reached out and rubbed Xiao Wu's head.

Then he said with a smile, "Perfect. I haven't eaten lunch either. Let's eat together in a bit."

"Okay, okay."

Xiao Wu nodded happily, but a sound suddenly rumbled from her stomach, making her little face redden even more.

"Little San, do you want some too?"

Ye Qiu turned to Tang San. As he spoke, he took out the food he had bought outside from his Soul Tool and placed it on a small table beside the bed.

"A Soul Tool?"

Tang San's gaze narrowed as he looked at the wristguard on Ye Qiu's left wrist, which held an embedded jade stone. Uncertainty filled his heart as he waved a hand and politely declined. "No need for food. I'm more curious about what you've been doing for the past two months. The changes are simply too great."

"Haha... I didn't do much. I just traveled a long way to visit some relatives." Ye Qiu smiled as he turned his back and unpacked the lunch he had brought back.

Wishing everyone a happy life!
