Chapter 45: Shameless to the Core, and S

Gu Qianqian’s face went cold, like frost had frozen over it. She was dying to see which blind idiot it was. Was he looking to get himself killed?

Then she saw Ye Huaixian, sitting alone by the basketball court.

He froze for a moment.

Their eyes met.

Ye Huaixian gave an awkward little smile, then quickly looked away.

He even smiled?!

Gu Qianqian instantly blew up inside. Of course, Ye Huaixian had no idea. That smile just now had clearly been his way of easing the awkwardness. But from Gu Qianqian’s point of view, it turned into mockery.

And what was he mocking...?

Did that even need to be said?

Gu Qianqian was actually a pretty homebody kind of girl. She liked gaming. And because she naturally gave off a keep-away-from-me aura, hardly anyone ever dared to greet her first.

So the situation now was this: after her speech as the freshman representative, a lot of people at Lanling High School knew there was a beautiful new student representative named Gu Qianqian. But Gu Qianqian didn’t know any of them.

Actually, this was exactly what her mother wanted. She hoped Gu Qianqian would blend in with her classmates as soon as possible, build up her influence, and one day replace Jiang Yueyan as the next student council president.

Too bad Gu Qianqian had absolutely no interest in any of that.

And a lot of students who came over because of her reputation lost the urge to get close after seeing what she was really like.

Oh, right. After that speech, she went and dyed her hair. It made her look like some delinquent girl. Sometimes she even came to school out of uniform, wearing oversized streetwear instead. Super hip-hop. Super rebellious.

One time, Ye Huaixian saw someone copying the little girl look from Leon: The Professional. He thought it looked pretty nice. Then he turned his head and realized it was Gu Qianqian, and his face dropped on the spot.

She’d gone with highlights. Her original light chestnut long hair now had a few strands in front dyed pink. It was a warm kind of pink, not tacky in the slightest.

Even with all the prejudice Ye Huaixian had against Gu Qianqian, he still had to admit it.

That pink really suited her.

She’d originally planned to dye all of it pink. But this wasn’t some foreign country. She still had to live with her mom every day. Just hearing her mother go on and on about Senior Jiang Yueyan was already painful enough. If she really changed her whole look too, Gu Qianqian didn’t even dare imagine what her future life would be like...

So in the end, she shamefully chickened out.

Ye Huaixian actually liked pink a lot. In the game, the little mage girl he played had pink twin-tails when he customized her face. Cute and full of childish charm.

The Sword Saint Gu Qianqian controlled, on the other hand, had cool, handsome white long hair. Paired with the ID “Only I Reign Supreme,” it looked arrogant in a stylish way.

And yet... and yet it was a girl!

Gu Qianqian had felt the exact same shock too. She just never could’ve imagined that her in-game friend was actually the beast Ye Huaixian standing right in front of her, the one who’d been sneaking glances at her pitifully lacking chest.

Ye Huaixian felt a little guilty. After all, he really had sneaked a look at her sensitive area. Granted, it had been with something close to a pitying gaze. Ahem. He absolutely could not let Gu Qianqian find out he was thinking that. The look in her eyes already seemed close to murder.

Gu Qianqian glared coldly at Ye Huaixian for a while. In the end, she could only swallow her anger.

She was a girl too. She cared about her pride, okay?

And besides, his eyes were his own. If he wanted to look at something, she really couldn’t control that.

But at the very least, Gu Qianqian’s already-average impression of Ye Huaixian now plummeted straight downhill. Before, she’d felt a little bad that her mother had made the decision on her own to have her replace Ye Huaixian as the freshman representative.

Now that she thought about it, forget it.

If this guy got his moment in the spotlight, who knew how many girls would end up suffering at his hands?

What she didn’t know was that Ye Huaixian had only just vaguely turned down Lin Muke’s confession.
