The quiet night was still. In the bathroom, a white-haired girl quietly scrubbed her small white panties by hand. Once they were clean, she hung them outside on the balcony. The rack was already full of clothes and underwear—her parents had also showered the day before.
“Ah…”
After finishing up, Su Yun returned to her room. The first thing she did was open the closet and put on a fresh set of clothes, then headed to bed.
As soon as she lay down, the faint fragrance of the girl beside her drifted into her nose. Soft warmth pressed against her arm.
There were no defenses between them. She was gentle, enticing.
This was already the second time…
But it wasn’t her fault. If anyone was to blame, it was Qin Xue—who was just too good at making someone want to misbehave.
Of course, it wasn’t just her looks. It was her actions, too—everything about her felt like an invitation.
In everyday life, Qin Xue got along great with Su Yun’s family. She helped clean, stayed busy, acted gentle and kind. When Su Yun was being held in her arms, she even felt the comfort of a mother’s embrace.
Before starting college, Su Yun’s goal was to find a beautiful girlfriend. After starting college, that goal shifted—to finding someone gentle and virtuous.
Sister Xue...
Lying there, Su Yun started to daydream.
But if Qin Xue really saw her as the opposite sex, wouldn’t she get shy during those kinds of moments? Yet she never did.
Su Yun sighed. Her chances seemed slim.
Her heart already at peace, she lay there like a salted fish who’d lost her dreams, and fell asleep shortly after.
…
Late that night, around 2 a.m.
“Be your kitty, meow~”
Lying in a private hospital suite, Zhang Deyi wore a blissful expression on his face.
He had his headphones on, looping the video Liu Fei had taken for him a few days ago.
On the tall stage was a cute girl in white thigh-highs and a short white dress, raising her hands like little paws. Delicate and fair, she glowed under the sunlight like a real-life Snow White.
From childhood to now, this was the first time Zhang Deyi had seen a girl who perfectly matched his ideal—not just in looks, but in mannerisms too.
…
When the video looped again, he finally turned off the screen.
Staring out the dim window, his expression grew serious.
…
From chatting with Brother Yun, Zhang Deyi had confirmed Su Yun was still alive—she hadn’t been “killed” by Snow White or caught up in some horror story.
He had asked a third question afterward—he’d asked what his “girlfriend” thought of the performance that day and even mentioned the act’s name.
Brother Yun had replied, saying it went well. That meant he had been present.
But if he was there, why would he let his girlfriend cry on stage?
Not only did the school belle cry, Snow White nearly had an accident too. How could he still say it was “nice”?
Liu Fei later told Zhang Deyi that throughout the entire show, the school belle only hugged Snow White and never once interacted with Su Yun.
They were always so close and affectionate. How could he be so indifferent during such a critical moment?
Zhang Deyi had been thinking this over since afternoon, all the way to 2 a.m.
There was only one possible explanation—Su Yun was the Snow White who fell off the stage. And because she was unharmed, he was calm.
That would also explain the school belle’s emotions—she liked Snow White. When Snow White fell, she must have felt devastated.
With everything Liu Fei had told him, Zhang Deyi felt ninety percent sure.
Su Yun was Snow White.
…
And to be honest, when Zhang Deyi had watched that performance video a few days ago and heard that soft little “meow”...
Even though his body was injured and he couldn’t do anything, he could still... enjoy it.
So he paused the video, wiped down the screen with a tissue, and... right over those white thigh-highs...
Just thinking about it now made Zhang Deyi dizzy and nauseous.
Was he a guy who liked guys? Disgusting. Ugh…
“Be your kitty~”
But soon enough, he started the video loop again.
Halfway through, he paused it.
…
Half a minute passed. He turned off the screen again.
So good.
Yes, he liked men—and he was proud of it!
He would remain Snow White’s number one fan, regardless of gender.
In fact, thinking it over now. Su Yun’s quiet personality wasn’t so bad. It actually checked a lot of boxes for what he considered a good girl.
Zhang Deyi felt something stir inside him. He clenched his fists.
“Mm.”
Alright—he still didn’t completely believe it. He would ask her in person next week and find out for sure.
…
…
December 29, Early Morning
It was Friday now. Less than two weeks remained until finals.
They needed time for ID verification and processing, so there was no time to waste.
Su Yun left early with her parents around 7 a.m., heading to a major provincial hospital.
By the time they arrived, it was nearly 8 a.m., and even this early, the hospital was already packed with people lining up.
Registration wasn’t done manually, but through self-service machines. Pretty advanced.
Her father queued at one of the machines while Su Yun stood nearby, watching.
“Sister Xiaoyun, are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
Qin Xue held onto Su Yun’s arm, their posture unusually close.
She’d heard from Su Yun the night before that they would be going to the hospital today for a checkup.
Could vampires get sick?
Qin Xue wasn’t so sure. She was also afraid something strange might be discovered.
“It’s nothing serious. Just a routine checkup.”
“Mm.” Hearing that, Qin Xue clung even tighter, clearly nervous.
“Come here—take a look. Which one do we choose? Is it gynecology?”
Su Fulin called out to Wang Haiyan. After about a minute of reading through the machine options and discussing it, they decided to go with that department.
They registered at 7:50, but their appointment time wasn’t until after 9.
While waiting, they went upstairs to sit outside the designated office.
Su Yun was extremely anxious.
Sitting on the cold metal chair, even her hands were trembling.
But then, warmth arrived beside her.
“Sister Xiaoyun, afraid of seeing the doctor? Such a scaredy-cat.”
Qin Xue’s teasing tone entered her ear like a breeze.
“I’m not scared.”
Su Yun immediately got defensive at the mocking tone.
“Okay, okay, you’re not scared~”
“I mean it. Don’t talk like that.”
“Mm-hmm~”
“Ugh…”
Su Yun felt wronged under Qin Xue’s gaze, but just then, her face was enveloped by something soft.
“Sister Xiaoyun, don’t be stubborn. I know what you’re scared of—because I’m scared too. If the doctor notices something’s off with your body later, just explain right away and come back out. Got it?”
Qin Xue’s gentle voice held a clear sense of worry.
Her soft, soothing words echoed in Su Yun’s mind.
