The Freshman Group Chat

Even though her mom’s private lessons were embarrassing and humiliating, Huang Xiu had to admit they were somewhat useful.

She now had a clear understanding of how a girl should behave.

She had completed the great leap from a novice female to an entry-level female.

Maybe that sounded exaggerated to others, but not to Huang Xiu.

After all, she hadn’t even known what a period was before.

She had simply thought that transforming was just about changing your gender and living your life.

So… would she actually get a period?

In her room, Huang Xiu was playing with her phone.

But her eyes kept drifting from the screen to the black plastic bag on the desk.

Inside were sanitary pads. Her mom had deliberately left them after the last lesson, just in case.

Ever since that lesson, she had been on edge. She didn’t even dare go out, afraid that her period would suddenly come and splash blood all over her.

Every morning, the first thing she did was pull back the covers and check her sheets and pants for bloodstains.

‘Wait, I’m a Special. Maybe I won’t even have a period?’ Huang Xiu rubbed her chin, thinking.

She had special abilities and a strong body. With Void Energy protecting her, maybe her period would just heal itself on the spot?

Yeah, that must be it!

She convinced herself with a firm tone.

Otherwise, before her period even came, she might end up with a nervous breakdown first.

Several more days passed like that, and it was already May.

The one-month anniversary of her transformation was almost here, but her period still hadn’t arrived.

Huang Xiu gradually put the matter out of her mind.

Apart from sneaking downstairs to take out the trash late at night, she stayed at home all day.

Her parents had gone from a hundred percent doting to a hundred percent annoyance, finding fault with everything she did.

They kept nagging her to go out and get some exercise, or even get a summer job since school hadn’t started yet.

Huang Xiu would have been happy to do that.

Back when she was still a guy, she had planned to work a summer job to save up some money.

But now that she was a girl, everything was inconvenient, so that plan was shelved.

So she watched as the lavish meals quickly degraded, and the dishwashing and cleaning duties were all transferred to her.

“So boring!”

At ten in the evening, her parents closed the shop and came home. They sat on the sofa watching TV and chatting.

Meanwhile, Huang Xiu was rolling around on the small couch next to them.

She held her phone, scrolling through videos for a while, then switched back to QQ to see if there were any new messages.

Her original plan had proven to be quite effective.

Those middle school classmates who had sent congratulatory messages, she could still see herself becoming a topic of discussion in the class group and various chat groups.

But because she hadn’t replied to them, they had basically stopped initiating conversations.

Still, Huang Xiu had to admit that it felt pretty good to be a celebrity and a mysterious figure in people’s conversations.

Shi Lei, on the other hand, was persistently chatting with her, sharing all kinds of trivial things from his life.

But Huang Xiu was crafty. She read every message.

But she always waited until he said a dozen or so things, then replied after a gap of several tens of minutes.

She also never answered any of his QQ calls.

So even though there were plenty of topics and things to talk about, the conversation never really took off.

Based on her understanding of Shi Lei’s patience, this would last at most another month before his enthusiasm cooled down.

As for Fang Miaoqing, she was a bit strange.

In the first few days, Fang Miaoqing sent messages more frequently than Shi Lei, always asking her to hang out.

But after Huang Xiu repeatedly refused and said she really wasn’t in the same city, Fang Miaoqing left a message saying ‘See you when school starts’ and never sent anything again.

‘She’s not mad, is she?’ Huang Xiu was actually a bit scared.

Because unlike Shi Lei, Fang Miaoqing could actually come find her in person.

Ding dong!

Her phone vibrated. A new message jumped to the top of the QQ message list, just below the pinned class group chat.

The new message was an invitation.

An invitation to join a group. The sender’s account name was unfamiliar.

[Bright as Sunshine]

The profile picture wasn’t a common stock image. It looked like a photo taken on a phone.

A red sun with half its face showing at the edge of a blue-green sea.

‘Who is this?’ Huang Xiu thought for a moment.

Then she remembered that this person named [Bright as Sunshine] had added her that night after the physical exam.

She just hadn’t replied to their message yet.

‘Not another part-time job group or those scam course groups, is it?’

Huang Xiu thought so because there were too many scammers like that.

As for why there were so many? Someone once gave a very interesting answer.

It was probably because there were too many idiots who were too easy to trick.

Today, Miss Xiuxiu was wearing a set of home loungewear, an old set from when she was a guy, a bit too big.

So she just wore the top and paired it with shorts underneath.

Her fair, slender legs peeked out from under the hem of the shirt, looking like white jade under the living room’s bright lights.

She didn’t rush to check the new message.

First, she tapped into the class group and unpinned it.

She set it to receive messages without notifications.

Then she looked at the new message.

‘Let me see.’ Huang Xiu muttered.

[Bright as Sunshine invited you to join the group: Tiandu University 2016 Exploration Freshman Group]

“Holy shit!” The girl swore out loud.

Then she did a smooth roll, her fair legs shifting and pressing down as she flipped herself up.

“Xiuxiu, no swearing!” Her mom’s dangerous gaze drifted over from the side.

Her mom’s private lessons had now reached the section on a girl’s speech and behavior.

Swearing was strictly prohibited.

“Heh.” Her dad chuckled calmly, pushing up his glasses. “Xiao Xiu, what happened?”

“Dad, look!” Huang Xiu held out her phone like it was a treasure.

“A freshman group?” Her dad glanced at it and looked away.

After showing it off, Huang Xiu immediately clicked the link and accepted the invitation.

She had been so cooped up at home during these days!

Regarding the matter of being a Special, besides her parents, she only had Huang Xiaoxian to talk to.

And her parents were often not home and didn’t understand Specials at all.

But that guy was even more of a shut-in than her, curling up in a flowerpot and sleeping motionless all day.

Even her mom had worriedly asked her several times if this was normal.

During her time at home, she had found an opportunity to introduce Huang Xiaoxian to her parents.

To her surprise, her parents had accepted Huang Xiaoxian very easily.

They even really liked him.

So now, Huang Xiaoxian’s status at home was even a bit higher than hers. (Because Huang Xiu had been home too long)

And that really annoyed Miss Xiuxiu.
