Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly that Charlotte's imagination was a bit too strong, but he thought that Charlotte had grown up in a harsh environment, so this kind of imagination was, in a sense, a sign of caution.

Just then, a sharp roar came from the sky, and a blue and white IS armored vehicle landed lightly in front of the two. The armor was long and elegant, and the pilot inside was Cecilia.

Because it was routine training, Cecilia didn't activate her full armor mode. Her golden hair fell naturally, giving her a noble air while also making her look charming and cute.

However, what Li Wei wanted to complain about was that Cecilia never liked to tie her head up when wearing the armor, and she never encountered a situation where her head was caught in the armor. Is this the heroine's halo?

Cecilia looked at Charlotte beside Levi, her eyes narrowing slightly, as if she had noticed something.

Cecilia tried her best to keep smiling. She had just looked at Charlotte through thermal imaging, and the thermal image was a bit strange, showing both male and female features, which reminded her of intersex people she had read about in books before.

Originally, Cecilia thought that Charlotte, this pretty boy, was a man with an effeminate appearance, but now it seems that this effeminacy may be due to his physical defect. At the same time, she has a rough idea of ​​why he can activate the armor.

Charlotte felt a little strange, because Cecilia's gaze towards her carried a hint of pity, which puzzled her. Had something gone wrong with her disguise? However, she didn't sense any malice from Cecilia. This was something she could only ask after they had become more familiar with each other; for now, no matter how many doubts and curiosity she had, she had to suppress them.

Cecilia quickly composed herself and said, "Welcome to the academy, Charles Denoa."

(This guy must be the illegitimate child. The Denoa family is full of troubles. It's better to have a united family like the Orcate family, at least there's no internal strife.)

Cecilia sighed inwardly. They were all from the same privileged class, but their fates were different. However, both sides had their own problems. The reason why the Orcart family did not have internal strife was because the Orcart family was small, and even the relatives, near and far, were in the same situation. On the cousin side, there was even a predicament where no one could inherit the title, so they had to bring someone from even more distant places to inherit the title.

Therefore, the Orca family would love to have more members and not be so short-handed as they are now. After all, without trusted family members to oversee and supervise key positions, it's easy for professional managers to embezzle funds or even completely seize the positions through underhanded means.

The situation was the opposite for the Denoa family. Because there were too many family members and not enough resources, each person could only get a limited share, so the internal struggles were quite severe. The European aristocratic circle was not very large to begin with, so Cecilia was well aware of such well-known matters.

Chapter 1. The Dress-Up Girl's Holiday

Li Wei could hear the two girls' thoughts. He hadn't expected that Cecilia also had the potential to overthink things. Charlotte was indeed facing various problems, but the idea of ​​hermaphroditism was, to be honest, quite bold.

Cecilia glanced at Charlotte again but said nothing.

(Although this pretty boy looks like a girl, he's not actually a girl, and Li Wei is a perfectly normal male, so he's no threat to me. As for Houki, that idiot isn't a threat at all; he can actually be used to defend against external enemies. Hmm... that little bitch in my class, the way she's looking at Li Wei is really weird; I need to be careful.)

Hearing Cecilia's thoughts, Levi remained calm. After all, he was the kind of man who wanted "all of them." Moreover, most of the partners he had previously won over had similar thoughts, but when faced with reality, they would all make a choice.

Using his ability to manipulate time on the floating islands, Li Wei can cut and pause time on the islands, preserving only the flow of time in certain areas while stopping time in the rest. In this way, Li Wei can ensure that each of his companions receives complete love. This method also solves the problem of harem intrigue. Once each girl is well-fed, they have less energy for scheming and infighting. Any problems can be solved with a "whip".

Li Wei said, "I still need to take Xia Er to familiarize himself with the academy environment. Tomorrow, he will officially start classes, and he won't have time to get acquainted with the surroundings."

Cecilia laughed and said, "Go ahead, go ahead. You think you can get familiar with the academy environment in just half a day? The people upstairs are really stingy. They don't even know to give Charles a couple more days off."

Charlotte said, "Half a day is enough. After all, I'm someone who started learning late and has fallen behind in my studies. If I don't hurry up and enroll, the longer I delay, the more I'll fall behind everyone else."

Charlotte was very clear about her current situation. She didn't have much free time to rest. For her future, she had to be an excellent student in both character and academics. At the same time, she also had to ensure that her female identity was not discovered.

(That girl must be quite familiar with Li Wei. Judging from the way she looks at him, she likes him. It seems the mentor the chairman arranged for me has quite a way with women. However, I must admit, Li Wei is indeed a very charming man. If I weren't currently disguised as a man, I would have taken the initiative to make my move.)

Li Wei didn't say anything. Girls are naturally more sensitive, and they can easily overthink things because of certain details. In comparison, most men are much more carefree and won't get hung up on trivial details. Of course, I'm referring to most, not all. Petty people exist everywhere.

Li Wei recalled the old-fashioned "Dragon Overlord" novels he read in his early school years. The male protagonists in those novels were psychopaths who would kill the entire family of anyone who glared at them. However, in real life, such oddballs do exist, although they are not numerous.

After Cecilia took off, Levi and Charlotte left the training field on a mobility scooter. Levi knew that haste makes waste, so he didn't rush to expose her. Instead, he obediently led Charlotte around the academy, explaining the relevant information like a tour guide at each location, so that Charlotte could quickly understand the function of their place.

Using their two-wheeled vehicles, the two spent the afternoon exploring the entire college, including the undergraduate section.

After getting familiar with the surroundings, the two found a small square and sat down on a bench under the shade of a tree. Li Wei handed Charlotte the drinks he had bought at the supermarket they had passed earlier.

“Charles, that’s roughly how things are at the academy. How much of it do you remember?” Li Wei asked.

Charlotte took the drink, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip. Due to the abnormal weather in recent years and global warming, the climate on the island where the academy is located at a relatively high latitude is like that of Japan, with only summer and winter. The slightly humid weather made Charlotte feel that the bandage wrapped around the headlights was a bit damp, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Charlotte gently tugged at her collar to let in a cool breeze, and after catching her breath, she slowly said, "I've roughly memorized it. Before coming to the academy, I looked at the map, but the real academy is much more complicated than the map shows. Without your help, Li Wei, I wouldn't have been able to familiarize myself with this place in such a short time."

Li Wei opened his can of Coke, drank it all, and threw the air conditioner can into the trash can not far away.

Li Wei smiled and said, "As for the academy, Xia Er, you've already explored most of it, but there's one place you haven't been to yet."

Charlotte looked curious and said, "Where is it? We've been running around all afternoon, and I thought I'd been to every corner of the academy."

Li Wei said, "The academy has a beach for teachers and students to relax on, and we've already been to all the places for studying and working, but you haven't been to the academy's internal vacation paradise yet. It's one of the most popular places for teachers and students in the academy."

Charlotte felt a pang of regret. To conceal her female identity, she hadn't been to the beach since her first sexual characteristics began to develop, especially after her mother passed away; she no longer felt like going to the beach.

Now that she's at the academy, she's found a safe haven to protect herself. With a little more time to relax, she wants to go to the beach, but unfortunately, she can't wear a swimsuit.

Charlotte's eyes gleamed with a strange light as she excitedly exclaimed, "I want to go!"

Li Wei said, "Then come with me, the beach is still a distance away."

........................

Charlotte followed Levi to the beach area, where they could see the white sandy beach and the azure sea in the distance.

Although this beach, along with the mountains behind it, is entirely man-made, it is in no way inferior to natural scenery.

Since it's already after school, there are quite a few teachers and students playing on the beach. Compared to crowded public beaches, the college's own beach has a lower population density, so everyone can have a spacious area and doesn't feel oppressive.

Charlotte, suppressing her excitement, exclaimed, "So beautiful!"

(It's a pity I can't wear a swimsuit. How long has it been since I wore a dress? I can't even wear a dress, let alone a swimsuit.)

Li Wei said, "It's a bit hot. If we're going to the beach, how about we change into our beach shorts?"

Charlotte's smile froze upon hearing Li Wei's words.

Chapter 1. The Difficult Disguise

Charlotte was inwardly panicking. She was a girl, how could she expose her chest like a boy? Once she took off her school uniform, her disguise would be ruined.

Before coming to the academy, she had already inquired about the academy's courses. The academy did not have separate physical education classes or swimming classes, which minimized the possibility of her identity being exposed.

If the academy suddenly announces that it will add courses like swimming, she can apply to withdraw from the program herself. After all, she has no way to hide her female identity in courses that require exposing one's body.

Charlotte forced a smile and said, "I didn't bring any beach shorts, so forget about them. I can just walk around here."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Don't you like exposing your body in front of others, Charles? We're all men, what's wrong with that?"

Charlotte smiled bitterly to herself. She had thought that the academy didn't have any relevant courses, but she hadn't expected the problem to come from male students. If she refused now, she was afraid that Levi would doubt her true gender.

(Charlotte, use your clever brain and come up with a solution!)

Charlotte felt restless and anxious. She felt like her brain was about to short-circuit. It was too much to ask her to come up with a reasonable explanation in such a short time.

Charlotte saw the girl in the distance sneeze, and her mind raced as she came up with an excuse.

"I've had a slight cold these past couple of days, and I just worked up a sweat this afternoon. I'm afraid if I change into my beach shorts now, it'll make my cold worse. That would affect my classes tomorrow," Charlotte quickly said.

How could Levi, who was skilled at reading minds, possibly believe such a clumsy lie? But he couldn't really corner Charlotte, so even though the lie was quite unreliable, he had to pretend to believe it.

Li Wei looked regretful and said, "That's a real pity. Changing into beach shorts and flip-flops, taking a walk on the beach, and looking for pretty seashells would be quite enjoyable."

Charlotte was tempted, but she firmly remembered that she must not reveal her identity, so even though such a thing was extremely attractive to her, she had to restrain herself.

Charlotte said, "It's a real shame. Let's talk about it another time. For now, let's just stroll around the corridor. There's a shopping street over there, how about we check it out?"

Although she couldn't go to the beach to experience the fun of the sea, Charlotte didn't plan to go back to her dorm room. Since she was already there, she might as well take a stroll around.

Li Wei didn't expose Charlotte's lie, but simply smiled and followed her. Out of the corner of his eye, Li Wei glanced at Charlotte's profile. Although she was wearing makeup, making her face appear somewhat masculine, her natural beauty was simply too good to be true, no matter how much makeup she wore, it couldn't completely erase her soft, feminine features.

Li Wei noticed that Charlotte had earring holes on her small earlobes, indicating that she probably wore earrings, but she had removed them to disguise herself as a man and to make herself appear less effeminate.

Levi couldn't take his eyes off Charlotte's neck. He couldn't help but admire how beautiful Charlotte's neck was, with its healthy, fair skin that was unlike the delicate skin of Europeans, and it was no less beautiful than Cecilia's.

Although Charlotte was an illegitimate child whose birth was kept secret, her father doted on her, and her daily life was well-provided for. She had access to all sorts of skincare products and beauty salon treatments. It could be said that Charlotte's perfect beauty was not only due to her excellent natural features but also to the vast sums of money she received; it's something most girls could hardly achieve.

So far, among the girls Li Wei is close to in this world, in terms of skin color alone, Cecilia is second only to Charlotte, with little difference between them. After that, the other girls come in.

The two walked side by side. Charlotte looked around curiously, her charming appearance and even the way she walked revealed her true nature.

There are some differences between the male and female pelvises. When women walk, their waists sway unconsciously due to their body structure, which is something men cannot imitate. Although Charlotte tried her best to control her instincts, such details were impossible for the experienced Levi to hide.

Charlotte exclaimed excitedly, "I never expected there to be such a wonderful place in the academy! What's that? Is it grilled squid?"

Charlotte saw the barbecue restaurant ahead and practically skipped and hopped over to it.

Li Wei walked over, took Charlotte's hand, and pulled her away from the entrance of the barbecue restaurant.

Charlotte's strength was no match for Levi's; with just a gentle tug, she was forced to keep up with his pace.

Charlotte said with regret, "Hey, why did you pull me away? I haven't even gone in yet."

Charlotte used a cold as an excuse, and Levi naturally went along with it.

Li Wei said, "You have a cold, right? If you eat that kind of stuff when you have a cold, aren't you afraid that your condition will worsen? What if you wake up and your condition is serious? What will you do in class tomorrow? So you should watch what you eat first."

Charlotte pouted in dissatisfaction. She hadn't expected her excuse to backfire so badly; Levi really thought she had a cold. But the feeling of being cared for was quite nice. Some rather unconventional thoughts began to form in Charlotte's mind. She was startled by her own ideas, realizing that it was only their first meeting, yet she already had these random thoughts. She felt very strange about herself.

As they walked, Li Wei, holding Charlotte's hand, said, "I also have some knowledge of medicine. Treating a common cold is very easy for me. I'll get you some folk remedies when we get back."

Charlotte felt a little uneasy. She wasn't really sick; she was faking it. If she went to the school clinic, her faking would be exposed immediately. Right now, she could only pray that Levi wouldn't realize she was pretending.

Charlotte felt that Levi was her nemesis. They had only spent half a day together, but she had already been put in awkward situations several times because of him. Pretending to be herself in front of Levi was quite tiring.

In fact, Li Wei was well aware of Charlotte's physical condition. Although Charlotte did not have a cold, her period had started, so her symptoms were somewhat similar to those of a cold. If she really wanted to fake a cold, she could barely get away with it.

Chapter 1. A Subtle Test

Li Wei understood the difficulty Charlotte faced in disguising herself as a man. He also had several spies planted within the Denoa family, so he was well aware of Charlotte's father's arrangements.

Just like in Charlotte's luggage this time, there was a small black package wrapped tightly. This small package contained sanitary napkins and leak-proof pads that women use during their menstrual period.

To be honest, it's quite troublesome to bring this kind of thing in. Charlotte herself can't buy it at the school supermarket because it would easily expose her true identity.

She brought enough personal hygiene products for the first six months of enrollment, and any restocking would be mailed to her through family channels. If she bought them outside, the scanner at the checkpoint would scan each student's luggage upon returning to the academy. The academy respects individual privacy and therefore doesn't scan her person directly. However, carrying so much on her person is impossible, so these items have to be air-freighted through family channels, delivered directly to the academy.

Of course, even the "delivery" of ordinary students has to go through security scanning. It is because the Denoa family and the academy have a close cooperative relationship that they turn a blind eye to such things, which is how she was able to get away with it.

"Let's stop here for today and head back to the dorm. I'll bring you dinner," Li Wei said.
