Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Shen Qiuyu.

Jiang Mian had an impression of her; she was the recognized "school beauty" of the Fifth Middle School in Base City No. 144. Not only did she have excellent grades, but she also seemed to have awakened a rather good sequence ability.

However, I heard that she has a cold and taciturn personality and rarely communicates with others.

Unexpectedly, she also chose to come to the city defense internship and was even assigned to the same dormitory as me.

"Shen Qiuyu, Sequence 33, [Element] Path, [Heavenly Fire]."

Shen Qiuyu's introduction was very concise, just like the temperament she exuded. Her voice was also clear and clean, making it very pleasant to listen to.

However, when her gaze lingered on Jiang Mian, Jiang Mian seemed to sense a... faint gentleness in her eyes?

It seems that the other person's personality is not as cold as it appears; one can glean some insight from the books on her desk.

After all, truly indifferent people probably wouldn't be interested in these fictional joys and sorrows.

That said, Sequence 33, [Heavenly Fire]... This ability is even higher than Jiang Mian's disguised [Eye of the Wind], it is a true high-level elemental ability.

Its most notable feature is that it has extremely high burst damage in the early stages, as well as decent sustain, hence the nickname "melee mage," a typical example of a fun and exciting combat style.

"Hello, I am Jiang Mian."

Jiang Mian raised her head and looked at Shen Qiuyu, feeling somewhat depressed.

With her arrival, she immediately became the shortest person in the dormitory, followed by Lin Xiaoyue, then Shen Qiuyu and Su Wanning, who were both probably over 1.7 meters tall.

"I know."

Shen Qiuyu's answer surprised Jiang Mian.

"I saw your picture on the school's honor roll, and it doesn't quite look like you."

Jiang Mian was taken aback. Although her grades used to be decent and she would occasionally appear on the honor roll,

However, in this world where awakened beings are revered, this aspect is not highly valued, and very few people pay attention to it.

She never expected that Shen Qiuyu would notice her, or even remember her now.

"Really? Perhaps... that photo is too old?"

Jiang Mian adjusted his glasses.

After her "awakening," she no longer needed to keep a low profile as before. Simply by changing to a pair of refreshing glasses, she looked much brighter.

The group exchanged pleasantries for a while, mainly Lin Xiaoyue chattering away, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

Before long, they were just about to reveal the color of their underwear.

Jiang Mian learned that she and Shen Qiuyu were classmates and best friends.

Because they awakened relatively early and their abilities were quite good, they chose this place as their internship location and have been here for about a month.

Shen Qiuyu's personality is much easier to get along with than it seems, at least with people he knows well.

She could tolerate Lin Xiaoyue's antics and would occasionally chime in with a few words. She was also very thoughtful, a typical case of being cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

After a quick rinse, because there were other people around, she didn't dress as casually as she would at home, but changed into a relatively conservative set of pajamas.

However, because of its light and thin texture, it still subtly outlines the body's contours during movement, especially...

"what?"

As soon as Jiang Mian stepped out, she felt an undisguised gaze upon her.

She looked up and saw Lin Xiaoyue sitting on her bed, still holding the pillow in her arms, staring at her blankly.

"Jiang Mian...you have such a great figure!"

She blinked and praised without reservation:

"I didn't notice you were wearing your combat uniform earlier, but now that you've changed out... wow!"

Jiang Mian: "..."

She looked down at her pajamas, which were stretched taut, the curves of which were quite obvious, especially when viewed from above.

By now, she has basically adapted, but she has never paid special attention to it, since all her energy is focused on pretending and making money to buy medicine.

To be honest, because Jiang Mian took the medication in time, he has not yet reached the third stage of the disease. From the outside, he is not much different from an ordinary person, and can even be described as perfect.

"Xiaoyue".

Shen Qiuyu's voice came from the bed next to her, tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"Oh, Xiaoyu, I'm just telling the truth!"

Lin Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue, her gaze still fixed on Jiang Mian.

"By the way, Jiang Mian, how tall are you? You look so small, I never expected you to be like this..."

Jiang Mian felt a little uncomfortable under that gaze, and subconsciously covered her chest, a faint blush rising to the tips of her ears.

"Um... 1.65 meters tall!"

He's actually only a little over 1.6 meters tall, but if you round it up, it's about right.

"I don't believe it."

Lin Xiaoyue muttered to herself.

"Alright, alright, let's all go to sleep."

Su Wanning came out of the bathroom and saw Jiang Mian's face was a little red. She knew what Lin Xiaoyue had probably done.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyue didn't continue the topic and rolled back to her bed with a grin.

Jiang Mian hurriedly finished packing her clothes and then snuggled into bed, pulling the blanket up high so that only her eyes were showing.

She stared blankly at the ceiling, her mind far from calm.

My reaction just now wasn't an act.

Whether in her past life or now, she has little experience interacting with women her own age.

In her previous life, she lived a solitary life in a cold and distant place, but she was quite content.

Now, however, she is trapped by the secret of her illness and the pressure to survive, and she usually chooses to keep her distance from others unless necessary.

She never imagined she would encounter such a situation, being so bluntly praised about her figure by a roommate she had just met.

What made her even more awkward was that when Lin Xiaoyue said those words of praise, she didn't feel much resentment; on the contrary, she felt somewhat...proud?

……

the next day.

Su Wanning looked at Jiang Mian, who was still lying in bed, looking sleepy even though he had been awake for a while.

"Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Hmm... I guess it's because I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed?"

Jiang Mian rubbed her eyes, her voice a little slurred.

Actually it is not.

Last night, a jumble of random thoughts popped up from nowhere, seemingly endlessly, swirling in her mind and keeping her awake for half the night.

"normal."

Lin Xiaoyue nimbly flipped off the bed and casually tied her hair into a ponytail.

"The beds here are really hard, but you'll get used to it."

Shen Qiuyu had just put on her ankle boots when she looked up at Jiang Mian's dazed appearance. She didn't say anything, but simply picked up a small jar from her desk and placed it on Jiang Mian's bedside table.

"Special mints, try them if you're feeling sleepy."

"……Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Jiang Mian finally managed to escape the confines of the covers. While washing up, Lin Xiaoyue leaned over and asked in a low voice:

"Are you really okay last night? I saw you tossing and turning."

"It's really just a matter of not being able to sleep in a particular bed."

She shook her head, her expression unchanged.

"That's good. I thought I said something wrong yesterday and upset you."

Lin Xiaoyue let out a long breath and patted her flat chest.

"No, it's just... I'm not used to it."

"Yeah, you'll get used to it. Let me tell you, our dorm is great. Qiuyu might seem cold on the outside, but she's actually very warm-hearted. And Sister Su, needless to say, she's like a mother..."

"Um?"

Just as she was about to utter some shocking statement, Su Wanning happened to peek in from the doorway.

"...Gentle, reliable, and especially good at taking care of people, right?"
