Chapter 9: Making a Move

Since seeing Song Xuan's update two weeks earlier, Ye Wuyou had tried to visit Lady Academy, but no matter what he tried, he couldn't get inside or even arrange a meeting with Song Xuan.

The thought that Song Xuan would be trapped in that gilded birdcage of Lady Academy for the entire coming year only made his determination to crack the academy's system even stronger.

"Ping!" A text message popped up: [You want to crack Lady Academy's firewall?]

The message had a faint connection to Song Xuan, and it immediately woke him up a little. [Who are you?]

[I'm Knight·Snow.]

One of Dark Knight's members. Everyone in the organization had their own code name, and this person called himself Snow. [So what?]

[Don't get worked up. I mean no harm. Honestly, I'm very interested in cracking Lady Academy's firewall too. Maybe we can work together.]

[What do you want?] He had been keeping the phone on standby, with only 1% battery left, but the incoming messages made him sit up in bed and rush to charge it.

[I know you're trying to crack Lady Academy's server because you're chasing a woman, but so far Dark Knight has only managed to break into Lady Academy's student records server. The real core server is protected by a special firewall. If you crack the core server, you could even register yourself as that woman's guardian.]

[Why are you doing this?]

[That's none of your business. So? Interested or not?]

[Why should I believe you?]

[Then I'll go offline.]

[disconnect after 30s]

[disconnect after 29s]

[Wait.]

[You believe me again?]

[What do you have?]

[This program can quickly analyze the complexity of any firewall without triggering the tracking program, and then it will find the key. &-Lady3.exe]

[You wrote this yourself?]

[Don't ask. Try it on Lady Academy's server.]

Ye Wuyou immediately put the phone aside. Two months of summer work had finally left him with enough money to buy a new computer. It was a semiconductor monster built for computation, and the latest Norton T5-class neural processor gave the thin laptop workstation-level power.

He ran the newly received Lady3.exe through his homemade antivirus several times, and after confirming it carried no viruses, he wrapped his machine in seven or eight layers of proxies, then imported the firewall-cracking program into Lady Academy's core server.

The computer showed that it would take at least sixteen hours to calculate the key. If he wanted to make sure Lady Academy's firewall wouldn't notice, it would take ninety-eight hours. Ye Wuyou was very satisfied with that speed, so he straightened his clothes, ready to go out, find a decent restaurant, eat something good, and buy some minced meat to feed the stray dog he hadn't seen in days.

………………

Over the past month, Xia Tian had come to Lady Academy every two or three nights to see his sister, and sometimes his mother Zhou Mengwen came too. Every day, right after Xia Yan finished her evening ladylike-training session, she would eagerly check her email in her lady suit, hoping for a message from her brother telling her that he was waiting for her in the reception room at Lady Academy's security facility.

Because of disciplinary mode, Xia Yan had to attend an extra ladylike poise class every night from 18:00 to 21:00, and at midday there was a one-and-a-half-hour meditation class from 12:30 to 14:00 for self-reflection. That cut her free time before bed down to just one hour. If you subtracted the time it took to walk to the security facility and the time to go back to the dorm and shower, the actual time Xia Tian and Xia Yan got to spend together each time was less than twenty minutes.

Xia Tian also wanted to come at noon so he could spend more time with his sister, but he was still in his first year of high school, and his daytime schedule was limited, so every few days he could only have the driver bring him to Lady Academy at night.

Xia Tian also came on weekend nights, but all of Xia Yan's weekend time was scheduled by Lady Academy, so they still could only meet briefly at night.

Every day from 12:30 to 14:00, Song Xuan insisted on joining Xia Yan in the self-reflection class for students under disciplinary mode. From 18:00 to 21:00, she attended the extra ladylike poise training with Xia Yan as well. Although her poise score always stayed above eighty, even ninety, the Lady Academy poise-training department did not object to students who voluntarily requested extra training, nor to students outside disciplinary periods who chose to attend disciplinary classes on their own. It even granted them additional poise and performance points.

Compared with normal ladylike poise training, the extra sessions were stricter, more exhausting, packed with more rules, and the teachers were harsher. After 21:00, Xia Yan and Song Xuan often stepped into the reception room at the security facility soaked in fragrant sweat. Xia Yan liked nothing more than lying in Xia Tian's arms and letting her brother smooth out her wet dark-green hair, while her slender hands in black gloves toyed with his clothes.

Song Xuan sat upright in the chair nearby, back straight, chin lifted, legs pressed together, hands resting on her knees, watching the siblings while thinking about whether she might ever see Ye Wuyou again.

From her frank, anything-goes conversations with Song Xuan, Xia Yan had learned about Ye Wuyou. As a seasoned player at love, she thought she could count herself as at least a half-expert on relationships. After all, ever since she was young, countless boys had swarmed around her. Xia Yan had never bothered to count how many boyfriends she had dumped. Sometimes she even tried to tally them, but she could never figure out whether the total was in the twenties or the thirties. To her, every boyfriend had been nothing more than a disposable tool, because she had never lacked money and her only standard for choosing one was who was prettier. She was also very sharp, and she got bored of people fast. She never let any boyfriend get a free advantage out of her. Most of the time, once things got as far as kissing, she was already sick of him and could dump him. As for chastity, if that murder incident had never happened, which of the hundreds of boyfriends after her might have ended up taking it?

If Xia Yan had to name the two boyfriends who left the deepest impression on her, there were only two. One was the second-to-last boyfriend, a street thug who was sentenced to seventy years in prison for murder. He was the reason she got sent to Lady Academy in the first place, and her disgust for him was beyond words. Not even the pristine oceans of Europa could wash it away.

The other was her last boyfriend: Xia Tian's best friend, Luo Mi's younger brother, and her future husband, Luo Jin.

Of course, that was many years later.

"If you're really feeling bad because you miss him that much, I suggest you try the masturbation function built into the lady suit."

"Huh? That? Wouldn't that be too..."

"Oh, come on, it's already 2044! Nobody cares about that anymore~~~"

"But... but... does that even work?" Lady Academy had special classes that introduced the girls to some of the lady suit's special functions. Every school year there were eight or nine lessons taught by a dedicated instructor, all of them required courses. One of the major topics was masturbation and orgasm, and Song Xuan had seen plenty of pictures and videos of women masturbating in class.

In that course, the teacher had explained the lady suit's internal structure in detail. Beneath the seamless, glossy exterior of the suit, there were actually many complex designs inside.

Although it looked like nothing more than a clean, form-fitting one-piece on the outside, the chest and crotch sections used special shell-like structures to form a tough, durable chastity bra and chastity belt that absolutely could not be removed.

Inside the chastity bra were grooves that fit perfectly around the nipples, holding them in place while locking down tight at the tips. Inside the chastity belt were grooves for the clitoris, a urethral lock, an anal plug, and a vaginal plug.

The urethral lock and the anal plug existed so the wearer could relieve herself without obstruction while still wearing the lady suit, but they also quietly took away the girls' freedom to use the bathroom. If the lady suit did not permit it, a girl wearing it could forget about getting even a single drop of urine out.

The vaginal plug was designed partly to clean the inside of the vagina, actively collect menstrual blood during a woman's cycle, and even take part in regulating hormones in the body during that period, along with sterilization and disinfection. On that point, Lady House could proudly announce that women wearing a lady suit or any other tight-fitting product from Lady House could avoid menstrual cramps with 100% certainty.

On the other hand, the vaginal plug was also one of the main carriers for the lady suit's masturbation function. Combined with the clit ring locked around the clitoris and the nipple rings locking the nipples, the lady suit's powerful AI could intelligently coordinate everything and guarantee that every student using the masturbation program would feel like she had been blasted straight to heaven and back.

Of course, all of that had to be under an approved application. Otherwise, the bikini-style chastity belt and chastity bra built into the lady suit would completely prevent any stimulation to a woman's breasts or sex. Any touching or vibration would be absolutely blocked by the chastity bikini's hard shell and excellent shock-absorbing design. On top of that, Lady Academy absolutely forbade orgasms from happening without an application. There were some women with special bodies who could reach orgasm through meditation without physical stimulation, but the lady suit would not allow that either. Once the pleasure from meditation approached the brink of climax, it would trigger the suit's stop-start punishment: three shocking electric jolts, the first to interrupt the orgasm response, the second to make sure it stayed interrupted, and the third as punishment.

For students who received authorization to masturbate to orgasm, Lady Academy always took an encouraging stance, because masturbation could effectively reduce stress and a proper orgasm was good for the body. For the academy's junior students, it provided one masturbation opportunity per month. By the upper level, that rose to once a week. As long as they were willing, not only students but teachers could also apply. After Lady Academy's system approved the request, they could start at any time in their dorm rooms, and after successfully completing it they would also receive a certain amount of bonus performance points.

But Song Xuan had never tried that kind of thing. First, she thought it was completely unnecessary. Second, she felt guilty about it. She always believed masturbation was sinful and embarrassing. She knew the data from every time she did it would be recorded by the lady suit, and that it would definitely end up in the hands of her mother and aunt. Lady Academy's special uniform was always dutifully recording every last piece of data about her body.

"I... I... I'll think about it..."

"Hey... my dear sister~ what is there left to think about? I'm not going to peek. Give it a try~ It's really nice~ Back when I was grounded at home, I used to sneak into my room and masturbate in secret. It felt amazing. You should try it~"
