“Adele’s dormitory… is this way, right?”

Sharon’s heart started to race because she actually knew exactly where Adele’s dormitory was, because in the past, she…

She asked this question to cover up her knowledge.

Hearing Sharon’s question, Adele turned to her and smiled.

Whether it was Sharon’s own psychological factors or some other reason, she felt like all her thoughts and feelings were transparent in front of Adele.

“Yes, Sharon, you have a good memory.”

Adele didn’t intend to expose Sharon. Instead, she found Sharon incredibly cute, trying so hard to hide her past, her eyes filled with guilt, anxiety, and unease.

 

It made Adele want to say,

— Hey, Sharon, you wouldn’t want Adele to know… wait, I’m Adele? Never mind then.

The rain drizzled, then poured.

By the time they finally reached the dormitory area, both of them were drenched, their white silk stockings stained with mud and dirt, a strange beauty of tainted purity.

Sharon held the umbrella, waiting for Adele to take out her key from her backpack, unlock the door, and reveal the not-so-spacious but fully furnished living room on the first floor.

It was also… a familiar place in Sharon’s memory.

She glanced at it with longing, then quickly lowered her head, thinking that this was the perfect time to say goodbye to Adele.

 

“Then… I’ll see you here, Adele.”

“I should go back to my dormitory too.”

It wasn’t that Sharon didn’t have the desire to stay in Adele’s dormitory.

It was just that seeing the familiar layout and decorations here easily reminded her of her past self, the despicable and pathetic one.

She had already stepped into the sunlight, she didn’t want to go back to the shadows, she didn’t want… to remember that she was once a rat hiding in the dark and damp sewers, peeking at the girl under the sun.

Even though she, as a rat, had been saved by the angel-like Adele and brought back into the sunlight, it didn’t mean that she could completely and effortlessly sever ties with her past self.

On the contrary, as time passed, Sharon’s guilt towards Adele only deepened.

 

The more guilt she felt, the more afraid Sharon became. Would she completely disgust Adele if one day she confessed everything in front of her?

And if Sharon didn’t confess, it would lead to situations like this.

She chose to escape, not daring to come to Adele’s dormitory again, not daring to remember her past self.

Hearing Sharon’s words and seeing her downcast gaze, Adele seemed to have realized something and showed a troubled expression.

Really, something she didn’t even care about, this silly Sharon still took it so seriously.

A silly girl like this needed to be “loved” properly, to let her know the feeling of being pampered, to let her understand that even making mistakes could be forgiven, as long as she sincerely repented, as long as… she still loved Adele.

So the next moment, Adele grabbed Sharon’s wrist without hesitation.

 

Then, under Sharon’s surprised gaze, she pulled Sharon, who hadn’t even closed her umbrella, into her dormitory.

Adele closed the door with a “bang.” At the entrance, she pinned Sharon, whose heart was racing, against the wall.

It was a romantic scene like a confession, the only flaw was that people usually pinned someone against the wall with their hand on the other person’s shoulder or next to their face.

But the place where Adele pinned Sharon was next to her chest.

Adele’s petite figure was truly a disadvantage!

Well, as long as the result was the same, it was fine!

Adele’s expression conveyed her dissatisfaction with Sharon, a coquettish kind of dissatisfaction.

 

“Sharon, you’re all wet!”

“Ahem, I mean, you’re drenched! It’s raining harder and harder outside, why don’t you stay in my dorm for a while and warm up, it’s no big deal.”

“Unless… Sharon is starting to get tired of me? Starting to dislike a girl like me?”

Adele’s voice was pitiful, but to Sharon’s ears, it was like a bolt from the blue.

“N-no! How could that be… I… I to-towards Adele…!”

Sharon immediately became flustered, exactly the reaction Adele had expected.

After all, Sharon was the type of girl who was easily manipulated.

 

And Adele?

She was, of course, the type of girl who was good at manipulating others.

Adele let go of Sharon and took a small step forward, then hugged Sharon’s waist, burying her face in Sharon’s chest, sniffing, looking incredibly pitiful.

“No… (sniffle) as long as you don’t…”

“Then will you stay, Sharon? I’ll boil some hot water for you, you can take a shower… you can stay in my room for a while, it’s not too late to leave after the rain stops…”

“Okay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay with Adele.”

This time, there was no hesitation, Sharon said firmly.

 

She didn’t want to upset Adele over this matter anymore.

Hearing Sharon’s answer, Adele smiled triumphantly behind Sharon’s back.

But her voice was reassuring and gentle.

“Then, Sharon, go take a shower first, look, your hair is all wet, you’ll catch a cold if you don’t take a hot shower.”

“Don’t worry, you can wear my clothes, I’ll dry your old clothes and return them to you.”

“Really?”

“Why not? Sharon and I can share anything~”

 

Except for wives.

It was best to only believe half of Adele’s promises, because she would deny the other half in her heart.

Sharon’s heart warmed, feeling a surge of gratitude.

“Then… thank you, Adele. And thank you.”

With that, Sharon followed Adele towards the bathroom.

At this time, she couldn’t help but recall her past experiences. It wasn’t so much guilt as regret that filled her heart.

There was no need to mention the reason for her guilt.

 

The regret was because Sharon thought that if she hadn’t made that mistake before, if she had cleared up the misunderstanding with Adele sooner and become her friend, then today, because of the rain, she would have come to Adele’s dormitory for the first time, by accident.

If that were the case, Sharon would definitely be both nervous and excited, curious and fascinated by everything.

Unlike now, the more familiar she was with this apartment, the deeper her self-loathing became.

Sharon had completely lost the joy of visiting her crush’s home for the first time.

One wrong step wouldn’t necessarily lead to a series of wrong steps, but the mistakes made in the past would always make you regret it at some point in the future.

Sharon placed the closed umbrella on the stand, no need to worry about it wetting the furniture because it was in its case.

Then, with a nervous heart, she stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

 

Through the frosted glass door, the girl’s graceful silhouette and well-proportioned figure could be vaguely seen.

It could be vaguely seen that the girl inside was taking off her clothes one by one.

First her top, then her skirt, and finally her… intimate garments.

Sharon hung them on the familiar hangers, then, clutching her chest, she stepped under the showerhead.

As the warm water sprayed down, cascading over her slightly cool skin, Sharon instantly felt a long-lost sense of comfort.

Even the tension and unease that had been lingering in her heart eased considerably.

The girl thought to herself, since things had come to this, it was better to calm down and not put too much pressure on herself.

 

Whether or not she would confess to Adele about her despicable past in the future, at least now, all she could do, with the guilt in her heart, was to try her best to make it up to Adele.

No matter what method it took, as long as it was something Adele liked, she was willing to give…

Thinking of this, Sharon’s cheeks flushed a seductive pink.

But she never imagined that Adele might be even more aware of this than she was.

With a “creak,” the door opened.

Adele actually walked in from outside the bathroom!

Sharon didn’t even need to look for an opportunity to compensate Adele.

 

Adele was basically saying: I’m bringing the opportunity right to you~

But this sudden change still surprised Sharon, who was showering.

“A-Adele!? W-why…”

She was a little flustered, instinctively covering her body.

Adele hummed in dissatisfaction, thinking that since they were already in that kind of relationship, why was Sharon still so shy?

But on the surface, she still made up an excuse, at least to make it easier for Sharon to accept.

“Sharon… is it not okay?”

 

“But I… I’m so cold.”

“Achoo!” As she spoke, Adele hugged her slightly wet body and sneezed perfectly on cue.

Of course, the sneeze was fake, but it didn’t stop Adele from playing the role of a pitiful and delicate woman.

Sharon’s heart ached instantly.

“…Then Adele, quickly take off your clothes, I’ll turn up the water temperature.”

“Sharon is willing to accept me?”

“…I’ve always only accepted Adele.”

 

As she spoke, to express her sincerity, Sharon shyly looked away and lowered the hand covering her sensitive parts.

Unparalleled whiteness filled Adele’s vision, almost making her drool.

But soon, the whiteness gradually turned crimson.

Was Sharon too shy, or was it because the water temperature had been turned up?

Sharon’s body started to flush red.

But it was still as beautiful as plum blossoms falling on the snow.

Adele gazed at the girl’s breathtaking beauty with appreciation.

 

It had to be said that when a girl regained her confidence, she truly became more beautiful and radiant than her past self.

Sharon thought that it was all thanks to Adele, who gave her the motivation to change herself, who gave her a new life.

But Adele knew that it was purely because of Sharon’s natural beauty.

However, she was too good at “taking credit,” she readily accepted Sharon’s gratitude and love.

Soon, she also took off all her clothes, revealing her petite, soft, and fair body, as white as a lamb.

Sharon was still self-conscious about Adele staring at her and felt incredibly shy.

But now it was her turn, and she couldn’t escape Adele’s natural allure.

 

Adele didn’t need to pose or make any deliberate movements, her every smile and frown were captivating, etching themselves into Sharon’s heart.

Adele noticed that Sharon was already mesmerized by her, and she didn’t shy away, generously displaying herself before Sharon’s eyes.

When Sharon finally came back to her senses, she quickly turned her head away, like a little girl who had accidentally seen her older sister taking a bath.

Although Adele’s figure was more petite and her appearance more youthful and cute, when it came to aura, the shy and introverted Sharon was no match for Adele.

Adele could easily create the air of a mature older sister. Of course, it was also possible that this was her true mental age.

As for Sharon, she was the little girl who was teased by the older sister until her face was flushed red.

Adele took light steps, approaching Sharon’s body, and without hesitation, pressed against her soft and delicate frame, sharing the warmth of the water.

 

Adele couldn’t help but let out a soft moan of pleasure.

“Then next, Sharon, help me… wash my body~”

The girl’s kiss landed softly on Sharon’s breasts.

The electric sensation almost made Sharon lose her mind.

But in her daze, she still heard Adele’s words and replied in a trembling voice,

“…Okay.”

“Say ‘yes,’ Sharon.”

“Like to a queen, a young queen.”

“Yes, my… little Queen.”
