CHAPTER 38 HOPE YOU HAVE FUN!
Guang Yu’s strange episode came and went quickly.
Ahem, I mean nothing else!
I just mean that her unusual state only lasted a few minutes before she completely returned to normal.
Apparently, the car door had pinched the base of her tail, which explained her strong reaction.
Ye Zhibai chose not to mention it… after all, she wasn’t stupid and had realized the reason for Guang Yu’s sudden outburst.
This matter was better left unsaid!
The sports car had been driving on the ring road for ten minutes, and Guang Yu was kneeling on the back seat, leaning against the window, her starry blue eyes sparkling with endless wonder.
She gazed at the rapidly passing scenery, the towering buildings in the distance, and the continuous flow of traffic, grinning from ear to ear.
She was just short of jumping out of the car and blending into it all!
Everything was so new to her.
Her tail had been wagging like a windmill since earlier, and once it even smacked Ye Zhibai in the face, making her yank some fur out of frustration.
While Guang Yu was mesmerized by the cityscape, Ye Zhibai took out her precious new Pineapple Fourteen phone, blew off the fox fur, and entered the unlock password to open QQ.
Glancing at the top left corner of QQ, Ye Zhibai had already set her account status to “offline.”
She changed it last night before going to sleep, remembering it suddenly at that moment.
Why change it?
Isn’t it obvious!
A dead person’s phone being active all the time on QQ—how creepy is that!
The only thing that worried Ye Zhibai was that she hadn’t remembered to change her online status right after logging into QQ upon waking up in the hospital yesterday.
It should be… fine, right? Surely it wouldn’t scare anyone that quickly?
Haha… there’s a saying that even if a phone is turned off, QQ can remain online for a few more hours, so it’s within the margin of error!
Anyway, now that she opened QQ, the message interface still looked the same as last night.
Her friend list related to university had been deleted down to a few people, and the entire message interface only had the “Anime and Otaku Group” still active with its members chatting away.
Heh, unlike me, I wouldn’t just chat aimlessly in the group.
Ye Zhibai skillfully opened the anime group and sent a “bubble” emoji.
And just as she bubbled up…
Her phone received several private messages.
Ye Zhibai was puzzled and shifted her gaze up to see that it was from the group leader, Xiao Qiu, sending a bunch of picture notifications.
Oh my gosh, sending lewd pictures in broad daylight?!
As a person of principle, Ye Zhibai quietly used her long fingers to open Xiao Qiu’s chat box.
She also… angled her body slightly, as if she were outside, opening unexpected study materials and not wanting anyone else to see.
Turns out… they weren’t lewd pictures at all.
Xiao Qiu had sent over a bunch of cat photos.
There were Ragdolls, Garfield cats, and Tabby cats.
“Yezi! Look at my army of cats, aren’t they beautiful? Didn’t you say you found a cat yesterday? Are you keeping it? Show me a picture! By the way, why is your status set to offline? I thought you were gone.”
Sorry, in a way, I actually am gone.
Oh, I get it now, she’s showing off her cats.
Ye Zhibai didn’t immediately reply but instead held up her phone and tapped Guang Yu’s shoulder to have her look.
“Look at these cats, all shiny and well-groomed. Look at you when you turn into a cat… all you do is sleep.”
“You don’t actually think I’m a cat, do you? Ha, those cats are pretty average. They can’t even transform. Compared to me, their rating is ‘trash.’”
You can’t just assume all cats are like you… you freak!
And stop using memes you just learned from surfing the web!
But… since Xiao Qiu asked for a picture, it’s not convenient right now.
Ye Zhibai gave a perfunctory reply, with the main point being—next time, for sure.
Xiao Qiu, understanding, left a final message before signing off.
“Alright, next time show me a picture. I’m a cat expert, you know. It’s rare to find a group member who also has a cat. I need to share some cat care tips with you!”
Pfft, sometimes it feels like Xiao Qiu speaks like a real girl.
One of those quirky, mischievous types.
But that’s impossible~ after all, in online group chats, everyone claims to be a girl, but the reality is… well, you know.
Ye Zhibai shook her head to clear these unrealistic thoughts.
Just as she was thinking of catching up on the news…
Ye Zhibai suddenly felt the car slow down.
Surprised, she looked out the window and saw the golden sign of “Qihai No. 1 High School” next to her.
At the same time, the head maid spoke.
“Miss, we have arrived. This is where the second miss attends school.”
…
The Ye family’s convoy passed through the school gates without any issues.
Typically, the Ye family’s vehicles would park in the lot outside the campus, following the rules, without driving inside.
But today, they were transporting the frail eldest miss of the Ye family.
The head maid didn’t want her to walk too much, so she drove straight to the teaching building.
It was Ye Zhibai’s first time experiencing such a special parking spot…
The sports cars formed a neat four-corner formation, parked right next to the steps of the teaching building.
Ye Zhibai was about to open the car door to breathe some fresh air, but before her hand could touch the handle, the head maid quickly stopped her.
“Miss, please wait!”
“Huh?!”
What’s going on! Didn’t you say I could get out?
The head maid glanced at the situation through the rearview mirror and explained.
“It’s currently break time. The senior students are having their pre-exam pep rally in the gym, but the freshmen and sophomores are still outside. If you get out now, it might cause a huge commotion, which would make it difficult for us to protect you. So please wait until the bell rings.”
“…”
I… getting out would cause a huge commotion?
Why?
Even though I’ve become such a top-tier beauty… it shouldn’t be that big of a deal to appear in a crowd, right?
Until Guang Yu tugged at her sleeve from the side, indicating she should look out the left side window.
What she saw was quite a surprise.
The direction she looked at was the playground.
Many students had been active earlier, but now they had all stopped.
They were all standing together, densely packed, looking this way!
Too far away to hear what the students were chattering about, but judging by their jumping and cheering, as if reverting to a primitive state, their impression of the sports car convoy was:
Awesome!!
I see.
In her current state, not only was she an absolute beauty, but also held the mysterious identity of the eldest miss of the Ye family over the years.
Getting out now wouldn’t just be a casual campus stroll.
In minutes, it would turn into a press conference!
And it would definitely make headlines.
But fortunately, timing was perfect.
The school bell rang soon after.
Ding-ling-ling——
Even though the students wanted to take another look at the luxury sports car convoy and were curious about who was inside, their curiosity couldn’t withstand the teacher’s authority.
The crowd quickly dispersed.
As the students scattered, the maids from the other three cars hurried over.
They surrounded Ye Zhibai’s vehicle, each holding something.
The head maid got out, opened the car door for Ye Zhibai, and as soon as her foot touched the ground, the maids eagerly thrust the items they were holding towards her, their concerned voices overlapping.
“Miss, take this walkie-talkie! If you get lost, just press the button to contact us!”
“Here’s a parasol for you! The sun is strong, and without it, you might get sunburned!”
“Won’t holding the parasol tire you out, miss? How about some sunscreen instead!”
“Quick, check the car again to see if there’s anything else we can prepare for the miss!”
“…”
Ye Zhibai never expected… that someone would argue over such trivial matters for her sake.
She chuckled wryly and patted Guang Yu’s fox head as she got out of the car.
Guang Yu tilted her head in confusion, “Ye Zhibai, what are you thinking about?”
“I’m thinking they should’ve brought me here in a baby stroller. And maybe given me a kiddie smartwatch too.”
“Baby stroller…? Is that more advanced than the car we came in?”
“You’re too young to understand.”
“But I’m a thousand years old…”
“…”
You want to argue, huh!
Ye Zhibai’s earlier remark was exaggerated.
But it was clear the maid squad had that kind of enthusiasm!
The dependable head maid pressed her palms down to quiet everyone.
She looked at the items in their hands and only took the walkie-talkie and the parasol, handing them to Ye Zhibai.
Then the head maid stepped back, respectfully lifted her skirt slightly, and wished her well.
“Miss, I hope you enjoy your first visit to the school.”
“Um… alright?”
