The Fourth Change

Wang Yun woke up in the morning feeling refreshed and clear-headed, and she couldn't help stretching lazily.

The two who had fallen asleep embracing each other had somehow ended up sleeping back-to-back by morning. One lay on one side of the bed, without a single part of her body touching the other.

They had originally shared the same blanket, but now Wang Yun had seized all of it, while Su Qi was curled into a ball, looking utterly pitiful.

Fortunately, Su Qi was still wearing Soochow University's uniform. If she had been dressed any lighter, the air conditioner probably would have given her a cold.

Looking at Su Qi curled up like a little hedgehog, Wang Yun found it rather amusing and poked her cheek. It was as springy and firm as silken tofu. Still asleep, Su Qi subconsciously waved her hand.

Wang Yun didn't want to disturb the little girl's sweet dreams, so she intended to tuck the blanket over her properly so she wouldn't look so pitiful.

But at that moment, Wang Yun suddenly noticed two pale little feet hidden beneath Su Qi's legs.

Lingbo Weibu, stockings raising dust.

For some reason, the sight of those delicate jade feet brought those two lines of poetry to Wang Yun's mind.

Wang Yun carefully examined Su Qi's feet. Because of the air conditioning, her already fair feet had turned an unhealthy shade of white, looking like exquisite works of art. It was hard to imagine that such delicate feet bore the weight of her body.

Her ten toes were plump like bean sprouts, and her toenails were trimmed exceptionally neatly. Paired with skin that was almost too white, they gleamed with an alluring translucence.

Wang Yun stared in a daze. As a woman, she liked delicate and compact things, and Su Qi's feet perfectly suited her tastes. She almost wished she could collect them.

As though cradling a priceless treasure, she slowly placed Su Qi's foot in her palm. The cool, smooth, soft touch pleased Wang Yun greatly. Su Qi's feet were very small.

Even Wang Yun's hand, despite being a woman's hand, could completely hold one. Looking at those plump toes, each one was crystal clear, like peeled grapes.

Facing those delicate jade feet that seemed like they were made of glass, Wang Yun suddenly felt the urge to lick them.

Meanwhile, Su Qi, still asleep, only felt an itch beneath her foot and instinctively planted it against Wang Yun's face.

Fortunately, Su Qi hadn't used much force. Though she had kicked Wang Yun on the bridge of the nose, it didn't hurt. Instead, it tickled, making Wang Yun sigh that she really was such a soft little girl.

There was no smell of sweat, only Su Qi's unique lingering fragrance. When Su Qi lowered her foot, Wang Yun also discovered that her sole was just as fair as the top of her foot, without any calluses or muddy yellowish discoloration. It was as clean as a newborn baby's skin.

How exactly did this girl wash her feet? Wang Yun felt a little jealous. Looking at the sleeping Su Qi, she hadn't expected someone so carefree to maintain such a pair of jade feet.

When Wang Yun had dressed and was ready to leave, she doubled back to the bed and gave Su Qi's little feet another rub while she slept before finally leaving in satisfaction.

Only after hearing the door close did Su Qi secretly open her eyes. Once she confirmed Wang Yun had left, she quietly sighed in relief.

There was no helping it. They had already spent five hours together in this room, and Su Qi had no idea whether Wang Yun had fallen into that bewitchment state again.

If Su Qi happened to wake up, who knew whether Wang Yun might force herself on her? With Su Qi's little arms and legs, she really couldn't overpower her. Wouldn't that make the beginner's mission fail?

After stretching and yawning, Su Qi headed toward the bathroom.

But the moment she got out of bed, she landed on the floor with her butt. Then she discovered that her size-42 feet had become a pair of petite, fair, plump, well-proportioned little feet.

Su Qi examined her jade feet and realized this was probably today's change. Sure enough, after checking the system menu, she found it was the fourth change—delicate feet.

Men had a somewhat unhealthy fondness for women's ankle bones and feet. As an artist, Su Qi had studied this area quite deeply.

The female characters Su Qi drew generally had little feet, because she found them cute and soft. Paired with all kinds of tiny shoes, they were simply perfect.

But she wouldn't put both feet on the screen. Instead, she often used the pose of a foot stepping on the screen to highlight one cute, pale little foot. First, it enhanced the visual impact of the image; second, it satisfied the preferences of certain foot fetishists.

Looking at her own feet, Su Qi seemed to picture the little feet of anime characters she had drawn before. Su Qi felt that if feet like these stepped on a foot fetishist's face, it could count as the most wonderful memory of all!

As for the difficulties caused by this pair of delicate jade feet, Su Qi had already noticed them.

Because of the changes to her feet, the muscles in her lower legs had become even slimmer, making her already weak body even weaker.

Then there was the matter of balance. Her tiny feet constantly made Su Qi feel as if she might topple from side to side.

She had to hold onto the wall even to walk to the bathroom. Fortunately, Wang Yun's morning exercise lasted a long time, and that was enough time for Su Qi to train successfully.

Wang Yun returned carrying breakfast of soy milk and fried dough sticks. After kicking off her shoes with one foot, she froze. She had seen Su Qi's shoes: a somewhat worn-out pair of Hongxing Erke athletic shoes. Most importantly, even her Nike shoes were several sizes smaller than Su Qi's.

She knew her own feet were size 38, yet Su Qi, whose feet were so much smaller than hers, wore shoes like these. Judging by their appearance, she had worn them for a long time!

What on earth had made Su Qi disguise herself as a man? Did her parents know? This girl had suffered too much. No, she needed to reduce her rent.

Su Qi had no idea that Wang Yun was already concocting an entire television drama in her mind about Su Qi's bizarre and tragic life story.

She only felt that Wang Yun was even stranger today than yesterday. Even while eating breakfast, Wang Yun looked at Su Qi with tender, pitying eyes.

It made Su Qi feel rather uncomfortable. After breakfast, Wang Yun began packing her things.

Actually, she still wanted to live with Su Qi for a few more days. She didn't dislike sharing a home with this little girl.

Wang Yun figured that if she insisted on living with Su Qi and waived the rent, someone as soft-natured as Su Qi would probably agree.

But then she was afraid she wouldn't be able to restrain herself. This girl was a little too charming. Wang Yun even wanted to make some Citrus-flavored memories with her.

"By the way, my younger cousin will be coming over later to help me move. You don't mind, do you?" As Wang Yun spoke, she packed colorful underwear into a storage box, dazzling Su Qi's eyes.

"Mm, it's fine! I'm free too, so I can help you!" Su Qi said so, but yesterday had been her first time entering a woman's bedroom. Looking at the room full of feminine things, she honestly had no idea where to start.

In the end, Wang Yun handed Su Qi a bag and told her to pack all the cosmetics inside.

Watching Su Qi carefully place the exquisitely packaged bottles and jars into the bag, as though she were performing surgery, Wang Yun wanted to tease her. Didn't she know the packaging for cosmetics was very sturdy?

Still, Wang Yun rather liked seeing Su Qi act so inexperienced and cautious.

This tormenting little vixen.

"Ding-dong—ding-dong—"

The doorbell rang.

"It's probably my cousin. Go open the door, will you? Oh, check the peephole first. Don't let bad people whisk you away."

Su Qi looked through the peephole.

Why was it her?

Su Qi hadn't expected Wang Yun's cousin to be Wang Zijin.

Wang Zijin was dressed very girlishly today, radiating youthful vitality from head to toe. She gave off a bright, pretty, invincibly youthful feeling.

Her hair was tied into adorable twin tails, and paired with her lovely face and pale yellow dress, she looked like a green lotus blooming in a pond, impossible to ignore.

"Open the door!" Wang Zijin's voice came from outside, soft and sweet, carrying the gentle sweetness of a Jiangnan girl.

"Why haven't you opened it yet?" Wang Yun asked.

"Wait a moment! I'll be right there." Su Qi lowered her voice, then quickly slipped on those oversized size-42 Hongxing Erke shoes.

Only then did Wang Yun remember that this girl was still cross-dressing as a man.

From the looks of it, Su Qi seemed to know her cousin too?
