As I dodged Xier, Xiao Ling walked over to Wu Ke and patted her back. She watched Xier and me in that ambiguous pose, nodded thoughtfully, then quietly took the milk carton from the table and stepped in front of me.

"Bro, with things like this, do you still think it’s just a misunderstanding?"

"Uh, Xier and I just have a close relationship."

"So how’s our relationship?"

"Way better—you’re my sister~"

Xiao Ling’s face lit up with a bright smile. Then... she lifted the milk carton, poured it all into her mouth, and imitating Xier’s actions, transferred it all to mine.

"Mmph, I’m so full, stop, mmph!"

My sister poured another mouthful into my mouth. I really couldn’t take any more!

After eating so much this morning, my stomach was already bloated~~~

Xiao Ling whispered in my ear. I smiled wryly, nodded, and let her pour the remaining half-carton into my mouth.

"Time for you to taste last night’s flavor~"

Ugh~~ I almost threw up. My sister threatened to tell Miko about my relationship with Teacher Xier. Even if I think nothing’s between us, if Xiao Ling tells Miko, who knows how it’ll twist? To avoid trouble, I endured and drank it all.

I didn’t even glance at the leftover burgers. I sat up straight to rest. Seeing Wu Ke seemed calmer, I had questions.

"Wu Ke, what’s your plan today?"

"Huh? I’ll visit my brother later to explain things to our family—they probably think I’m dead. Then I’ll meet this body’s creditors and child."

"Your brother’s here too? And you’ll really meet the child, even... breastfeed?"

"My brother’s way more capable. He owns an apartment here—I was staying with him. I should still see the child."

"Since you’ve decided, I won’t interfere. Save my number; call if you need help."

"Yeah, little Ke’s part of my harem now~" Xiao Ling chimed in supportively.

Wu Ke’s lips twitched but nodded, knowing she meant well. We dressed and headed out.

The three of us took turns supporting Wu Ke, helping her adjust to high heels. Once confident, we left together.

...

"Xier, we’re almost at school. Got a plan?" I asked worriedly.

"Of course! I’ll tell everyone we swapped identities so you’d understand a teacher’s hardships—you’ll be teacher for a day, and I’ll assist you."

"That sounds okay, but classmates keep giving us weird looks!"

(What? Is that Teacher Lei over there? Why’s she in student uniform? Who’s that new teacher beside her?)

(That’s Teacher Lei! I’ve seen her. The other’s a transfer student. They swapped clothes and are so close—something’s up!)

(Is this some new kink?)

I’d heard gossip all the way here. Since Xier didn’t care, why should I? Xiao Ling looked thrilled by the chaos—what was her deal!?

"Teacher Hua Shu, hurry up! We’ll be late!"

After my sister’s shout, rumors spiraled. Why say I’d dictate Class 7 and dethrone Teacher Lei to make her a student? Impossible! Though even if I did, Xier wouldn’t oppose me.

Near the classroom, my stomach bloating faded—my body digests fast. Hmm, but my chest felt swollen instead. Chest... chest! Oh no, I forgot Yating’s warning: never drink milk! No wonder it absorbed so fast. Well, swelling’s swelling—as long as it doesn’t grow bigger. If my "big white bunnies" get any larger, I’ll turn into a big wild rabbit like Miss Wu Ke.

When we entered, morning-reading students stared open-mouthed, lowering books, speechless at Xier and me. After two seconds of silence—

"Eh?!!!!!!"

"Ahem, as you see, to help you understand a teacher’s work, Xier and I agreed she’ll be homeroom teacher today! Thoughts?"

"Great!!!! Teacher Hua Shu!"

Uh... what to say? My awkwardness was killing me!

"Hmm... have you all eaten?" What did I just say!

"......"

"Hua Shu-chan’s still so cute~~"

"Pfft, I ate, Teacher Hua Shu!"

Listening to this exchange, Xier’s face darkened. She jabbed me hard in the waist...
