A Day in Wang Donger's Life as a Girl

Wang Donger's expression froze in an instant.

Then she let out a startled cry that completely failed to fit her "boy" persona, sounding like a sweet young girl:

"How did you know?!"

Jiang Ziming could not help laughing.

"Though the Radiant Goddess Butterfly Martial Soul is rare, all you have to do is look it up in the library to know that it can only awaken in girls."

He paused, looked her up and down, then added:

"Besides, looking like that, who would believe you're a boy?"

Wang Donger's face immediately turned bright red.

She opened her mouth, wanting to argue, only to realize she had no grounds for rebuttal at all.

In the end, she could only lower her head, her voice carrying a hint of bashfulness:

"I... I may be super pretty, but I've always treated you as a good brother..."

She raised her head and looked at him seriously.

"So even if you've found out I'm a girl, don't go falling for me!"

Jiang Ziming looked at her earnest expression and fell silent for two seconds.

Then he slowly said:

"You're way too full of yourself. What a turnoff."

"You!"

Wang Donger's face reddened even further. She raised her little fists and thumped Jiang Ziming's chest repeatedly.

"You're the one who's full of yourself! Your whole family is full of themselves!"

Jiang Ziming smiled and let her hit him a few times before reaching out to press down on her head.

"Alright, alright, I get it. Good brothers, right?"

Only then did Wang Donger huff, withdraw her fists, and turn her head away.

Yet the unconscious smile at the corner of her lips betrayed her mood.

The next morning.

Jiang Ziming pushed open the dormitory door and immediately froze for a moment.

A young girl stood in the corridor.

Her short, ear-length pink-blue hair glowed softly in the morning light, naturally framing her delicate, fair face.

Her eyes were a clear, translucent pink-blue, like a pool of pristine lake water.

The buttons of her school uniform outlined the slight curves of her figure.

She stood there with her hands nervously clasped in front of her. When she saw Jiang Ziming emerge, her cheeks immediately flushed red.

"G-good morning..."

Her voice was no longer the deliberately lowered boyish tone from before, but had returned to a girl's natural voice.

Soft and sweet, with a hint of crisp freshness, like a stream flowing through the mountains.

Jiang Ziming stared for a moment, then could not help smiling.

"Good morning, Wang Donger."

Hearing him naturally call her by her new name, Wang Donger's ears turned even redder.

She lowered her head and asked softly:

"Do I... look strange dressed like this?"

Jiang Ziming walked up to her, gave her a thorough look, then casually reached out and gently patted her shoulder.

"Don't worry. You've perfectly transformed from the campus heartthrob into the campus beauty."

Wang Donger's face instantly turned crimson. Embarrassed and annoyed, she slapped his hand away.

"Hey, can you stop touching people so casually?!"

Jiang Ziming asked in confusion:

"Weren't we good brothers?"

"Who's your good brother?!"

Wang Donger blurted out, then realized what she had said. Her cheeks grew even hotter, and she hurriedly turned her head away.

Just then, Xiao Wu also walked out of the room.

When she saw the completely transformed girl in the corridor, her pink eyes trembled slightly.

Wang Donger looked at her uneasily and asked in a soft voice:

"Xiao Wu... do I... look good like this?"

Xiao Wu looked at her for a long time.

Then she revealed an incomparably gentle smile, her voice carrying a trace of barely perceptible comfort and emotion.

"Very cute. Like a little angel."

Wang Donger froze for a moment.

Then she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

The two of them went to school together.

Along the way, Wang Donger received gazes from every direction.

Surprise, admiration, curiosity...

Several boys stared so dumbfoundedly that they did not even notice their breakfasts falling to the ground.

The attention made Wang Donger uncomfortable all over. Unconsciously, she shrank slightly behind Jiang Ziming, like a chick hiding beneath a hen's wing.

Jiang Ziming glanced back at her and could not help teasing:

"Young Master Wang Dong, how did you become socially anxious overnight?"

Wang Donger blushed. She really wanted to raise her hand and smack this annoying guy, but she did not dare poke her head out from behind him. All she could do was mutter softly behind his back, "None of your business."

Not long after, in the classroom.

The instant Wang Donger followed Jiang Ziming into Freshman Class One, the entire classroom fell silent.

Then an unprecedented uproar erupted.

"Wait... where did that huge Wang Dong go?"

"Holy crap?! That's Wang Dong?!"

"She, she, she... she was a girl?!"

"I told you, someone that pretty couldn't possibly be a guy!"

"She's way too beautiful..."

Xiao Xiao sat at her desk, preparing to greet Wang Dong as usual.

Then she saw the pink-blue-haired girl following behind Jiang Ziming.

The girl's half-raised hand froze in midair.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant.

But in this situation, even a fool should have understood the truth.

Wang Dong was a girl?

The Wang Dong she had wanted to "win over" was actually a girl?

Then all those things she had said in front of Jiang Ziming over the past few days...

Like, "Help set me up with Wang Dong"... wouldn't that mean...

Xiao Xiao's face turned as red as if it were on fire.

She hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to read, though her heart pounded like a drum.

What made her feel even more stifled was that after Wang Donger revealed herself as a girl, she seemed to have grown closer to Jiang Ziming.

The two chatted and laughed during breaks, and Wang Donger would occasionally punch him lightly with her little fist.

That natural intimacy made Xiao Xiao feel an inexplicable surge of bitterness as she watched.

She suddenly realized that her previous "admiration" for Wang Dong did not seem to have been real affection.

Compared to that...

Her gaze unconsciously landed on the boy chatting and laughing with Wang Donger.

She quickly withdrew her gaze and lowered her head, her heart beating even faster.

The day of lessons quickly came to an end.

Dusk enveloped the campus, coating everything in a warm golden hue.

Wang Donger and Jiang Ziming walked side by side on the path back to the dormitory.

The setting sun stretched their shadows long, overlapping them across the corridor floor.

As Wang Donger looked at the peaceful scene of twilight, she felt somewhat uneasy.

She had not originally planned to reveal that she was a girl so soon.

But last night, when Xiao Wu had used a handkerchief to wipe the cream from the corner of her mouth, the warmth that surged through her heart had prompted her to make that decision.

She wanted to face this world in her true appearance.

She tilted her head slightly and secretly glanced at the boy beside her.

Then she discovered that Jiang Ziming was looking at her too.

Their gazes silently met in the dormitory corridor at dusk.

Wang Donger felt as though her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked away.
