[CH.67] Nancheng University
Alice and Senior Sister are enrolled in Nancheng University, which is considered a decent university. Although it doesn't compare to the top-tier institutions, a certain level of competence is still required for admission to Nancheng University.
The most outstanding programs at Nancheng University are in engineering, and they have consistently performed well in university programming competitions in recent years. However, like many engineering schools, the gender ratio at Nancheng University is severely imbalanced.
The ratio of male to female students is 7:3. With fewer female students to begin with, the number of attractive ones is even smaller. Beauties like Li Meiting, who is not only naturally good-looking but also skilled in dressing up, are a rare existence.
Whenever there is an event requiring the Student Union President to speak, Li Meiting always attracts a new group of admirers. Her photos often appear on online confession walls, and almost every few days, there are guys confessing their feelings to her.
The position of the Student Union President in college is often just a title. If you don't participate in club management and rarely engage in activities, you might graduate without even knowing who the Student Union President is.
However, Li Meiting is different. Because there are so many people who like her, even students who completely shut themselves in their dorms have heard of Li Meiting's name and seen her photos.
However, Li Meiting's fame is largely due to the special gimmick of being the goddess-like Student Union President and her own beauty. When Li Meiting walks around the campus, most people just admire her beauty from afar and do not bother her too much.
Everyone is busy, and besides, Li Meiting doesn't like strangers approaching her.
In the past, people used to come up and talk to her while she was eating in the cafeteria. Initially, Li Meiting would politely decline, but later on, she couldn't be bothered to respond.
Now, if a stranger tries to strike up a conversation with her, Li Meiting will simply act as if she hasn't seen anything, and occasionally, she might even lose her temper and physically confront the person.
Walking with her senior sister, Alice didn't need to worry about being approached by others. The senior sister's aura was there, deterring anyone from disturbing them. However, given Alice's adorable appearance, it was inevitable that she would catch the attention of onlookers.
Those covert glances coming her way felt like feathers brushing against her skin, making her uncomfortable. She walked carefully, keeping her legs close together and using her hands to hold down the hem of her skirt.
Alice possessed the attribute [Idol: 5], so she should be skilled at handling attention. The main reason for her discomfort, however, was the heart-shaped lock on her. She considered it underwear, and for Alice, it was a bit too exaggerated.
"Don't keep your head down all the time while walking. It would be cuter if you were a bit more open. Give me your hand and look ahead."
The senior sister took Alice's small hand and held it in her own.
"Your skirt won't ride up, there's no need to keep pulling it down all the time." The senior sister chuckled and gently flicked Alice's nose. "It's not like it's your first time wearing a skirt outside. You should be used to it by now."
"It's not that... I..."
Alice bent her knees slightly, using her left hand to press the hem of her skirt tightly against her thigh. Alice had never worried about wearing women's clothes, she was only concerned about someone seeing the heart-shaped lock.
Although there shouldn't be a problem telling senior sister about this kind of thing, Alice still doesn't want to discuss some overly private matters. Even the series of passive consequences brought about by desire, Alice has not told her senior sister.
Seeing Alice reluctant to speak, senior sister asked, "Is it that you feel nervous being around me? Not used to it?"
"No."
Alice subconsciously grasped the senior sister's hand, and along the school path, the two girls walked hand in hand.
"I like my senior sister, I like being around you. I just... don't feel very well."
"Could it be that you've overexerted yourself? I'm sorry, I should have let you rest earlier."
"That has nothing to do with it, you don't need to apologize, senior sister. It was originally something I wanted to do... and I've always been the one clinging to you to do it."
Alice spoke softer and her face became increasingly red. She pondered, finally giving a reasonable excuse.
"I need to go to the bathroom. Yes! I need to go again."
"Again? Okay, I'll accompany you this time too."
---
It had been two hours since Alice accidentally locked herself in, and it would be another hour before she could open it. The thing was soft and clung to Alice's body, making many activities impossible before unlocking.
However, Alice wasn't in a particular hurry, she just went into the compartment to put on a show.
Afterwards, the senior sister took Alice to visit the student council office. The duty officer on duty showed great interest in Alice.
"President, is this girl your friend? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"More than just a friend, she's my girlfriend. You're already mine, right?"
The senior sister spoke unabashedly, showing the intertwined hands of the two to the curious duty officer. Alice blushed but didn't say a word.
"Haha, President, you really know how to joke."
"No, I'm not joking. She is really my girlfriend, officially since yesterday."
"Huh? Is it true? But, President, you're a girl... and she..."
The duty officer looked confused. As a freshman, there were many things she couldn't immediately accept. The president didn't seem to be joking, she was in a relationship, and her partner was a cute girl.
This revelation left the duty officer a bit dazed, unsure how to perceive the two girls holding hands in front of her.
"Are you really dating? Like, romantically?"
"Of course—"
"No!"
Blushing, Alice interrupted the senior sister's words. She tightly held the senior sister's hand and explained with her head down.
"I'm her sister... cousin..." Alice forcefully explained, trying to make her role as a cousin more reasonable. She added, "My name is Han Jiayue, 17 years old, a high school student... I plan to apply to Nancheng University, and today my sister brought me here for a visit."
"Cousin?" The duty officer's expression slightly recovered. "Welcome to visit Nancheng University. Maybe next year, you'll be my junior."
"Uh..."
The duty officer didn't think too much, Alice's explanation didn't quite make sense. Today was Wednesday, and if she was really a high school student, shouldn't she be in class?
Only students like Chen Qianqiu, who had already secured a spot through a recommended admission quota, could freely move around.
"I want to show my cousin some photos of the student council. Could you find our album for us? Thank you."
"Sure, please wait a moment."
The duty officer turned to the shelf and started searching. Seizing the opportunity, the senior sister pinched Alice's thigh.
"Senior sister, it hurts..."
Whispering softly to Alice, the senior sister asked, "Don't you like me telling others about our relationship?"
"It's not that..."
Alice didn't continue. In the moment when the senior sister introduced herself as her girlfriend to the duty officer, Alice felt incredibly happy.
However, the duty officer's expression became somewhat strange, she seemed unable to accept the fact that two girls were in a relationship. To ease the awkwardness, Alice came up with the lie about being cousins.
"By the way, is Han Jiayue a name you just made up?"
"That's my sister's name..."
"Okay, I understand."
The senior sister gently held Alice's hand, not pressing for further details.
