The cool sound of water near my ears gradually faded, replaced by soft, intermittent footsteps. Clearly, she wasn’t wearing shoes, making her movements almost imperceptible. This made it impossible for me to judge Zhao Lin’er’s exact position within the room.
Whoosh!
Something landed on me with a soft thud. I froze, not daring to move. I was certain it was a flimsy piece of clothing—a bra or perhaps panties. A flash of white lace on a corner of the fabric confirmed my suspicion: it was undoubtedly panties.
‘Chirp, are you thinking of smelling it? See, you’re a pervert! You claim to like Sister Yinuo, but you just lust after her body. That’s not love,’ another voice suddenly echoed in my mind.
‘No, no, you’re talking nonsense! I’m not!’ I retorted internally, closing my eyes. ‘They can’t see me, they can’t see me…’ I chanted in my heart.
A drawer slid open nearby, followed by the girl’s astonished gasp. “Wow! Beast-ear cosplay? Huh? This is a beast… beast-ear girl cosplay outfit… *cough* *cough*… Nono actually… Nono, she… ah, I’m dead! I wonder how stunning my bestie will look in this outfit… Hehe… she wouldn’t be trying to seduce me and turn me gay, would she? Damn, damn… Nono, how do you understand me so well… Wow, there’s a tail too… I can’t take it, I can’t take it! Nono couldn’t have set a trap for me to fall into, could she? But… but damn, this outfit is too tempting; I can’t resist it at all!”
“I’ll try on a tail first then!”
Zhao Lin’er didn’t walk towards me, which significantly eased my tense heart. Huh? What did she just say about a beast-ear girl? I really want to see! I abruptly opened my eyes. Before me wasn’t a beast-ear girl, but that very lace-trimmed garment.
So, I mustered my courage, extended two fingers, pinched it, and lifted it. “So… so cute.”
It actually had a Hello Kitty pattern printed on it. Why don’t men’s underwear have designs like this? I was quite displeased, always feeling that designers were brain-dead.
They could easily make men’s underwear more elaborate, adding novel elements. For instance, they could incorporate cutouts with lace trim, or design the underwear to be lighter and more flexible, perhaps even high-waisted.
I felt deeply saddened for men. High heels and stockings, originally invented and worn by men, had their fruits stolen by women.
Any man who wore them on the street would be considered an anomaly, mentally unsound, by most people. We men only find a shred of dignity at anime conventions—that feeling of being understood, accepted, praised, and embraced. That’s what we men truly need!
I glanced disdainfully at the seemingly perfectly designed panties, feeling utterly contemptuous, and was about to toss them away. But just as the thought arose, a silken texture met my fingers, striking me like lightning.
“Ah… this… this is a girl’s…”
‘Chirp, don’t let this evil object blind you! Throw it away quickly! This isn’t a fragrance; it’s demonic energy, demonic energy! It can bewitch boys no less than opium. Throw it away now!’
A warning suddenly blared in my mind, and without a moment’s hesitation, I flung it towards the foot of the bed.
My heart pounded incessantly, as if I had done something wrong. ‘I’m sorry, Panties-sister, I didn’t mean it, I really didn’t! Please forgive me! I was afraid your owner would discover me, which is why I threw you aside. I apologize.’
‘Why isn’t Sister Yinuo back yet? Please come back quickly! I’m so scared, so afraid! If I’m discovered, they’ll surely think I’m a thief or a pervert. Ahhh! Then the whole school will know I secretly snuck into the psychological counselor’s room to peek. I don’t want anyone to know, I don’t want to be expelled! Sister Yinuo, where are you?’
I hid under the covers, clutching my arms, praying to heaven that the girl in the room wouldn’t find me.
I was innocent. Though I had wanted to see a cat-ear girl in my heart, it was only a fleeting thought.
No one could truly understand my current state of mind. It was like a squid dropped in a kitchen corner, terrified of being found by the chef, wanting to escape but daring not to, yet knowing that not escaping made the chances of being discovered even greater.
Running now would lead to immediate discovery; it was truly a dilemma of being caught between a rock and a hard place.
“We learn to meow together,
We moo moo moo together!
Inside, Sword-Rip Brother Bridge!
Woof woof, moo moo moo!
My heart beats fast.
I’m addicted to your strange cries.
If you don’t say you love me, I’ll moo moo moo…”
A hoarse roar suddenly interrupted my thoughts. I couldn’t even tell if what I was hearing was a human song. Her voice was even deeper and raspier than Yang Wei Linghua’s and Sister Hua’s. The song “Learn to Meow” is suited for a delicate voice, yet when she sang it, it wasn’t ‘meow meow meow’ but ‘moo moo moo,’ and completely off-key.
This girl was toxic!
“Please, Sister, stop singing, stop! Have mercy on a child!”
“Ah, I’m dead.”
Under the high-frequency echoes of Sister Lin’er’s powerful ‘moo moo moo,’ finally, I kicked my legs, rolled my eyes, and departed this world on the spot.
In my hazy state, I heard the door open, followed by Sister Yinuo’s heavenly voice. She was truly a hero, saving me from the chef’s bloody knife. They exchanged a few words, and then I heard the door close, plunging the room back into silence.
I wasn’t sure if the girl had left or not. I maintained my mummy-like posture, holding my breath.
Thump-thump-thump!
A crisp, efficient sound of high heels echoed in the room, growing progressively louder.
I could feel this person approaching my bed. She made no sound, so I didn’t know who it was, but judging by the footsteps, her presence felt very aggressive.
I couldn’t tell if it was Sister Yinuo or Sister Lin’er.
Already scared out of my wits, I felt the blanket slowly being pulled away from me. In a panic, I clutched a corner of the blanket, holding it tightly beneath me, silently resisting the girl by the edge of the bed.
