“I’m staying home today. No going out—being a shut-in feels great.” Ruo Xiaoxi tied her hair up, pulling it into a snowy-white high ponytail off to one side, then sat cross-legged in her chair, looking lazy and content.

This coral-shell hair clip is so hard to use. It looks pretty, sure, but it keeps catching my hair…

Ruo Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes. It really hurt when the clip tugged at her hair. She took a loose strand that had fallen out, wrapped it once around the barrel of her pen, and tied it into a bow. Then she rolled up her sleeves and logged into the game.

Jian Wang 3, launch! She’d met lots of girls through online games.

The moment she logged in, a flood of messages and private chats started chiming in. Her in-game ID was [I’m Cute, Pay Me]. When she opened her mail, she found that someone had actually sent her gold.

“Whoa, someone just sent me sixty gold bricks. For real? Never mind, never mind. I can’t accept this.” Every now and then, she ran into a wealthy player—and they were incredibly generous.

At the going exchange rate, sixty gold bricks would be worth around a thousand RMB.

Ever since she’d become a cute girl, she’d suddenly gotten way more popular in MMOs too. She was happy to turn on her mic and chat with people, and everyone doted on her. They’d run dungeons and do quests together.

When it came to guys, the moment Ruo Xiaoxi spoke into her mic, they’d fall silent for a few seconds. Then, in a grave voice, they’d tell her, “Looks like we can’t be bros after all.”

After all, back when she played, she was a guy, even if her ID was a little girly and she used a loli avatar. Real men play lolis. What else were they supposed to pick—a male character and watch him shake his butt?

Since she didn’t believe in online dating or catfishing, she’d always told her in-game friends she was a guy. She’d just never used her mic. So of course they were shocked when they heard her sweet, girlish voice.

The guild’s YY voice chat was open twenty-four hours a day, and people often sang in there.

Ruo Xiaoxi casually clicked into the room. The most eye-catching ID belonged to [Xiao Nuonuo], the guild leader. She was an MMO-obsessed girl the same age as Ruo Xiaoxi.

After meeting Xiao Nuonuo in person, Ruo Xiaoxi told the other guild members they had a loli guild leader! From then on, the two of them were treated like the guild’s one-of-a-kind beauty duo.

“Oh, hey! Haven’t seen you around chatting for two days. Finished your summer homework?” a guy asked.

“You’re the one doing summer homework! Your whole family’s doing summer homework!”

“So fierce, so fierce. Little beauty in a bad mood today?” he teased with a laugh.

Her tone was a little fierce, but her voice was adorably at odds with it. Even when she tried her hardest to sound mean, she just came across like a tiny, prickly little beast. You didn’t feel scared at all—you just wanted to pet her.

Ruo Xiaoxi magnanimously let it go, then asked, “Where’s Nono?”

“She’s right here in YY, livestreaming her nap. Listen closely.”

“Huh?” Ruo Xiaoxi fell quiet. Sure enough, she could faintly hear a “hoo—hoo” snore coming through Xiao Nuonuo’s mic. Looks like she’d stayed up gaming all night again.

Darn it, how could Xiao Nuonuo be so cute? Just hearing her snore made Ruo Xiaoxi want to run over to her place and squish her cheeks. Luckily, they lived fairly close to each other, which was why they’d already met up in person a few times.

“I’m doing my dailies. Anyone still need to run the big dungeon?”

“I haven’t done it on my alt. I’ll group with you.” “I still need to do it too. I’ve applied.”

When you had guild friends to play with, it was easy to find a group for dungeons.

Of course, maybe her cute-girl buff was protecting her. Ever since she became a girl, even singing ‘Two Tigers’ got her a chorus of praise—though a lot of them were just egging her on.

Being a girl is so great. She was going to sink deeper and deeper into it until she couldn’t pull herself out—and forget she’d ever been a guy.

“Ruo Cutie, while you were away yesterday, some drunk guy said he liked you and wanted to confess. He said he wanted a girlfriend like you.”

“Mm-hmm. If you don’t have a girlfriend, make one yourself! You’re a big boy now. Draw on some pretty eyebrows, put on a dress, get all dolled up, and compete with the other girls for men!”

While Ruo Xiaoxi and the others formed a group, she casually grabbed a bag of chips from beside her. All alone at home, she was starting to lounge around without a care.

Her two shapely legs, curved as delicately as lines drawn in a manga, were propped up high and crossed on the desk. Whenever someone applied to join, she’d thump the mouse with her heel to accept.

“I’m with you! I’m shipping Xiao Nuonuo and Ruo Cutie. Guild Leader x Deputy Guild Leader, forever! I’d give them every last cent I have to pay for their wedding!”

Some lily knight had appeared out of nowhere to object. The two beauties were the guild’s idols. If anyone tried to covet them, he’d never stand for it!

“Huh? But they’re both girls…”

“So what? I just want to see them cuddling up together. Ruo Cutie, when are you and Xiao Nuonuo going to take a selfie together?”

Ruo Xiaoxi couldn’t help laughing. She answered mischievously, “Maybe next time we get the chance. I’m worried Xiao Nuonuo’s so pretty that you won’t be able to control yourselves when you see her.”

“Really? The guild leader’s that pretty? She said her voice was nice, but she didn’t look good and was too shy to post a photo. And I heard her say you’re some little fairy who came out of nowhere.”

“Wow, you actually believe the nonsense she says? She doesn’t look good?!” Ruo Xiaoxi nearly choked on her chips. In her excitement, she pressed down on the keyboard with her foot and sent a long string of repeated characters into the chat.

That super beautiful girl might look a little delicate, but her looks were devastatingly powerful!

“Mmm… Xiaoxi, don’t say mean things about me. A-and don’t touch there…” Suddenly, the YY room fell into a strange silence. The only sound was Xiao Nuonuo’s unbelievably cute sleep-talking.

Ruo Xiaoxi froze. She’d even said her real name! That silly Nono!

“Yikes. That’s one incriminating sleep-mumble. There’s no way to explain this away now.”

“All right! I’m raising the Guild Leader x Deputy Guild Leader flag!” the lily knight cheered.

Ruo Xiaoxi’s cheeks flushed a little as she hurried to explain to everyone, “N-no! I just stayed over at her place for one night. Don’t get all these weird ideas!”

The two girls were almost exactly the same height, and they both loved cuddling up to each other. That was how Ruo Xiaoxi accidentally discovered that Nono was ticklish around the spine at her lower back.

It was like a sensitive spot. A gentle trace of her finger would draw a little squeal from Nono. She was such a delicate girl that she’d come over with blushing cheeks and pound Ruo Xiaoxi with her tiny fists. She was so adorable that Ruo Xiaoxi teased her a few more times.

S-she’d probably traumatized her a little. Even in her dreams, Nono was being teased by Ruo Xiaoxi.

But they were close, and they’d even slept wrapped up together under the same little blanket. Ruo Xiaoxi wasn’t sure why Nono was always staring at her waist and calling her a pervert. It wasn’t her fault her slim waist looked so good!

Nono must be the one who’s secretly lusting after her. That well-behaved girl is the biggest pervert of them all!
