Classroom, morning
"Big bro Lin, where did you go during the break?"
"Yeah, why didn't you take us bros along?"
"Hehe, where else could he go? He must have been with Chi Xiaoyu."
"Come on, I just stayed home playing games for two days."
Just then, Chi Xiaoyu walked over with her hands on her hips, looking somewhat angry.
"Tell me, where have you been going at night lately? I can never find you!"
"Uh, I've been pulling all-nighters at internet cafes."
"Fine, let's not talk about this now. Come with me."
Chi Xiaoyu pulled Lin Bai to the rooftop of the school building. She leaned against the railing as a gentle breeze brushed through the girl's hair. The girl's face turned slightly red as she spoke somewhat embarrassedly.
"Well... um."
"Are you trying to confess to me?"
Chi Xiaoyu made a "pfft" sound.
"No, I wanted to ask if you know an anomaly called Bai Ling?"
"Uh, that? Yes, I know her."
"Great!"
Chi Xiaoyu grabbed Lin Bai's hands excitedly.
"Let me tell you, if you get the chance, you should contract with her too. She probably won't ask you to pay a serious price, but I don't know why she refuses to contract with me... Do you have her contact information?"
"No."
"Then how did you meet? She was even at your house..."
"Coincidence, maybe. She might like the cat I keep..."
Chi Xiaoyu looked at Lin Bai suspiciously.
"You're not having a human-ghost romance, are you?!"
"How could that be possible? You've misunderstood."
"You're really something, keeping an anomaly as a cat who can turn into a little loli."
Chi Xiaoyu pouted with a hint of jealousy.

Brotherhood Barbecue
Around 7 PM
"Summer vacation's coming soon. What are you guys planning to do?"
"Stay home and play computer games, of course."
Li Mingzhe smiled lecherously:
"I'm going to the beach to check out beautiful women!"
"I need to work part-time to earn living expenses. I really envy you guys."
Lin Bai took out his police ID and smiled.
"I'm a police officer now, so I probably won't have time to rest. I'm pretty busy. With you guys' fetishes, I think you all should be locked up for a few years!"
"Damn, is that for real, big bro Lin? When did this happen?"
"When I moved out last time."
"No wonder. So you moved out because of work requirements. We all thought you went to live with Chi Xiaoyu..."
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
Lin Bai looked at the time—still two hours until 9 PM.
"Don't rush off, big bro Lin. Have a few drinks with us."
"Alright, just a few drinks then."
The four clinked glasses, chatting about games, school, and eventually life...
Suddenly Lin Bai felt waves of heat. He quickly took out his phone and checked the time. Not good!
8:59
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Lin Bai hurriedly walked to the bathroom entrance.
Looking at the men's and women's bathrooms, he fell into thought. Hearing flushing sounds from the men's room and with time running out, Lin Bai had no choice but to enter the women's bathroom.
"I think big bro Lin is really drunk, he went into the wrong bathroom."
"Is it possible he did it on purpose? That way he could see..."
"Damn, you can do that? Suddenly I need to use the bathroom too."
Bai Ling's cheeks were slightly red in the bathroom. This was her first time in a women's bathroom.
"Phew, luckily no one's here."
Bai Ling quietly climbed out through the window and returned to her small house.
"Sigh, next time I need to pay more attention to the time. I almost..."
"Meow meow?"
Opening the door, Maomao was holding a black skirt against herself.
"Ah, you're finally back, meow! Look at this skirt I made for you!"
"Huh? I don't wear skirts."
"I saw your closet is full of men's clothes. Try this skirt on, I made it with my own hands, meow."
Seeing Maomao's expectant expression, Bai Ling felt awkward refusing and took the skirt.
'I've never worn this thing... Although I have a girl's body now, I've never really thought of myself as a girl. I still plan to take a wife in the future…'
Looking back at Maomao's gaze, those emerald eyes were full of anticipation.
"I really can't say no to you. Fine, I'll wear it."
Bai Ling took off her clothes and awkwardly put on the skirt. Seeing how slow Bai Ling was, Maomao pounced on her.
"I'll help you, meow!"
"No, don't!"
After Maomao's efforts, a brand new Bai Ling appeared.
She had beautiful white hair with a red ribbon on her head, wearing a black dress with lace trim. Anyone who saw her would never think she was an anomaly!
"So cute, meow!"
Maomao looked at her masterpiece with a happy smile.
Looking at herself in the mirror, a blush appeared on Bai Ling's face.
'Wearing a skirt isn't so bad... It's just that it feels so empty down there, which makes me uncomfortable.'
