My Female Python Roommate Always Wants To Eat Me. - Chapter 10
Chapter 10
Regarding Bai Fuxue’s concession, Lu Qimin was used to pushing her luck.
Bai Fuxue didn’t know how, but she was dizzily persuaded by Lu Qimin to promise to wake her up every morning from now on.
Lu Qimin promised she wouldn’t have a bad temper.
She tried to reason with Lu Qimin, “But after military training ends, our schedules won’t be the same. Our class schedules are different.”
“Just send me your class schedule after official classes start.”
“Even if our class times are different, we can still eat breakfast together.”
“Okay, if you insist.”
Bai Fuxue’s attempt to reason failed, and she agreed.
For the next while, Bai Fuxue kept her promise and woke Lu Qimin up in the morning.
Having learned her lesson, she didn’t physically touch Lu Qimin, but just called her name from the side.
She still remembered the immense grip of Lu Qimin’s hand, like an iron branding her, giving her a feeling of horror that her body was completely under someone else’s control. She didn’t want to feel that a second time.
For several consecutive days, Lu Qimin’s behavior was exactly as she had promised. When she opened her eyes and saw that it was Bai Fuxue, she would try her best to hold back her bad temper. She would quietly sit up from bed, change her clothes, and stand beside her at the sink, washing up at a similar pace.
Bai Fuxue was particularly surprised by this.
Lu Qimin could truly control her bad temper from sleep.
On another occasion, she stood at the side of the bed, about a half-person’s width away, and called her name.
Lu Qimin woke up and stared at her, not moving. There was an emotion in her eyes that Bai Fuxue couldn’t understand—it was like a mixture of resentment, pity, and perhaps tolerance.
After a moment, she said in a drawn-out voice, “You can touch me like you did at the beginning. I won’t bully you again.”
“You acting this way makes me feel so distant.” The pitiful expression in her eyes was fully revealed, no longer hidden.
Her choice of words made Bai Fuxue turn pale with shock. The little rabbit’s eyes trembled, and she spoke with a slight stutter, “Wha-what do you mean ‘touch’? I was pushing you! Pushing!”
She deliberately raised her voice, trying to make Lu Qimin understand the seriousness of the situation and be more careful with her words in the future.
Using the word “touch” was way too strange. It sounded like… like she was taking advantage of her.
But she was just taking a necessary measure to wake her up. How could Lu Qimin change the words to make it sound so different?
“Oh, then push me.”
Lu Qimin pursed her lips and calmly changed her words.
“Why would you ask for that? That’s so strange,” Bai Fuxue wrinkled her nose, unable to understand.
A person with a bad temper from sleep would feel bothered by even the slightest sound. Wouldn’t being pushed by hand be even more unpleasant?
Yet, she was actively asking for a more intense disturbance.
What kind of weird hobby did Lu Qimin have?
Given Lu Qimin’s sincere plea and persistence, Bai Fuxue, despite her confusion, agreed to this not-so-difficult request.
She made an agreement with Lu Qimin beforehand: “But you’re not allowed to suddenly grab my hand, okay? Your grip is really strong, and I’m afraid of getting hurt.”
Lu Qimin: “I will restrain myself…”
“Promise me.”
“Okay, I promise,” Lu Qimin raised her fingers as if swearing to heaven.
Bai Fuxue was amused by her serious gesture, and the corners of her lips curved up.
The dimples that appeared on her cheeks were full of sweetness, dazzling Lu Qimin’s eyes.
Her heart fluttered. The fingers she had raised slowly bent and reached out toward the smiling girl. She gently took Bai Fuxue’s soft palm, her movements gentle. “Just for practice.”
“Huh?”
“This doesn’t hurt, does it?” She swung the little rabbit’s hand gently.
“No, it doesn’t hurt.”
In the blink of an eye, more than half of military training was over. Most of the class had lost a lot of weight, making it feel like a weight-loss bootcamp for college students.
During this time, Lu Qimin was with Bai Fuxue every day, almost to the point of leaving and returning together.
An Xin and Song Jiajia went from being shocked and amazed to being completely unfazed. They would go on the forum and comment on the posts about them, excitedly chatting with anonymous students about “The 100 Ways Lu Qimin and Bai Fuxue Sweeten Up Their Relationship.”
They even gave them a CP name behind their backs: Minxue.
They would passionately wave their flag and yell the three-word motto: It’s real!!!
After another day of intense training and an additional four penalty laps, the unbearably low water pressure in the dorm was a final blow to everyone’s spirits.
It was like the misty drizzle of April in the Jiangnan region—muggy and wet—but even after being in it for ten-plus minutes, it wouldn’t even wet the sleeves of your clothes, let alone soak through.
Song Jiajia said the water was too weak to shower in.
She suggested, “Why don’t we go to the school’s public shower? A senior highly recommended it.”
An Xin, being from the northern part of the country, was the first to agree.
Lu Qimin was indifferent to the idea.
“What about Xiao Bai?”
The last person to make a decision was Bai Fuxue.
Bai Fuxue unconsciously bit her pink lips, full of hesitation.
She had a premonition of recent changes in her body. She was more sensitive than usual. Her bl00d felt hotter as she trained under the scorching sun, and she felt a restless, burgeoning sensation.
All these familiar signs of restlessness were reminding her that her heat cycle was approaching.
From September to October was the heat cycle for female rabbits.
Her parents had told her that as she entered adulthood, the effects of her heat cycle would become stronger and more frequent.
She had made preparations a few days earlier, asking her teacher, Huang Anrou, for permission to stay off campus for the night to safely get through this special period.
Teacher Huang did not approve, refusing her request with the reason that discipline was important during military training and no one would get special treatment.
She had no other choice and could only hope that the special period would arrive later, preferably after military training had ended, so she would have ample space to safely deal with it.
Her body was sweaty after training. The sweat was sticking to her clothes and skin, making her very uncomfortable.
Bai Fuxue felt that she smelled bad, maybe a mixture of dust and oil sticking to the surface of her body.
She desperately wanted a clean, hot shower to wash her dirty, smelly body.
But there were so many people in the public shower, and the air would be full of mixed scents. What if that triggered her heat cycle to start earlier?
Bai Fuxue was in a dilemma. Her pale teeth bit her soft lips, leaving two indentations.
The two thoughts fought in her mind, and the desire to shower slightly gained the upper hand.
She hesitated, “Do the stalls in the school’s shower have doors? Can they be locked?”
Song Jiajia affirmed, “Yes, I asked a senior. She said the school took into account us shy southerners.”
Bai Fuxue nervously twirled her overlapping index fingers. She felt a little relieved after hearing the answer, but the little person in her brain kept fighting.
She gathered her courage and put up a truce sign.
She would just be careful. There were separate stalls, so it should be okay.
She released her overlapping fingers and made up her mind, “I… I’ll go with you.”
An Xin snapped her fingers, suddenly acting like a middle schooler: “That’s what good roommates do—sticking together!”
