CHAPTER 45 LUCK IS VERY GOOD
On the empty steps in front of the school building.
There were still about ten minutes before school was out for lunch, and in those ten minutes, Ye Zhibai had to leave the school.
After all, the whole school was buzzing about the mysterious figure that appeared on the second floor of the gymnasium, as seen in the Qihai No. 1 High School group chat on Ye Zhiyun’s phone.
Ye Zhibai definitely didn’t want to get caught and hold a press conference!
Wah, such a large campus, and yet there’s no place for me to stay!
Ye Zhibai sat on the lowest step, using a menu from the ice drink shop as a cushion.
“Sister, let’s wait a bit longer, okay? I’ve already asked the head maid to get the car. Once she drives it here, we’ll head straight to the East District. It’s not far, we should be back before dark.”
“No rush.”
Ye Zhibai leisurely said this—no rush.
She wasn’t actually in no rush, considering the stuff in the apartment could be taken away by Old Man Zhang, the scrap warlord, at any moment.
But… the current pampering she was receiving was indeed quite a novel experience…
When they left the ice drink shop, the owner gave Ye Zhibai two small folding fans as a gift.
The fans weren’t given to everyone; the key was that the shop owner recognized Ye Zhiyun as the famous student council president.
Ye Zhiyun, carried a lot of weight… no need to elaborate.
The nervous shop owner had two choices at that moment:
Either give fans or give the shop.
So, the shop owner wisely chose to give the fans.
——”A Wise Decision”
And now, the full-of-dignity Miss Ye Zhiyun opened one of the fans and diligently, gently fanned her sister.
Tender and delicate.
Guang Yu leaned next to Ye Zhibai, squinting her eyes to share in this good fortune.
Ye Zhibai felt that… this hot summer breeze… mixed with the natural scent of sunflowers from Yun’er, carried over by the fan, really felt…
Really still so hot!
Alright, alright, let whoever believes the idea that a beautiful girl fanning you makes it cooler keep saying it.
Ye Zhibai was not buying it!
“Okay, Yun’er, stop fanning.” Ye Zhibai’s words were meant to be caring, but her expression showed nothing but disdain, “Aren’t you hot?”
Oh, sister, please disdain me more!
“Not at all?” Ye Zhiyun breathed out a slightly excited sigh, lifting a lock of black hair stuck to her sweaty face with one hand, revealing a layer of fine sweat on her jade-like neck, “As long as I’m with you, I’m not hot at all~ The maids at home used to say that you’re like an automatic cooling machine, just looking at your face cools them down, but I disagree.”
“You think… I’m not that cold either?”
Hearing this, Yun’er’s smile froze for a moment.
Then she smiled even brighter!
“No, it’s not about being cold or not. I meant, I wouldn’t allow them to stare at your face! Haha!”
So cold!!
So damn cold!
What a radical point of view!
Your “cold joke” instantly gave me a chill in two senses!
It felt like the temperature around them dropped several degrees.
Before she could shiver, Ye Zhibai heard Guang Yu whisper in her ear.
“The car is here, let’s go, let’s go~ Enjoy the car’s air conditioning!”
“Hmm?”
Guang Yu’s vocabulary evolved faster than Ye Zhibai’s.
Her fox ears were indeed more effective than human ones.
Ye Zhibai hadn’t even seen the car or heard the engine yet, but Guang Yu gave the alert.
Two seconds later, the expensive black sports car appeared, cruising slowly toward them.
There are speed limits in school; no matter how good your car is, you must obey the rules.
The sports car stopped horizontally.
The door opened facing Ye Zhibai and Ye Zhiyun. The head maid stepped out from the driver’s seat, hands clasped in front of her, as respectful and ceremonious as ever.
“Miss, Second Miss, please get in the car.”
“Alright, sister, let’s go.”
——Guang Yu, let’s go!
Ye Zhiyun held Ye Zhibai’s hand, and this time, Ye Zhibai didn’t forget to grab a handful of air behind her!
To others, it looked like she was grabbing air, but in reality, she was holding Guang Yu’s hand.
This time, don’t be so slow, and make sure your tail or head doesn’t get caught in the door again!
Last time, she shivered and twitched for a long time, shedding a pile of fox fur on Ye Zhibai’s lap until they got out of the car.
The next part was supposed to be straightforward: get in the car, start the engine, and head to the East District.
But just as Yun’er stepped aside to let Ye Zhibai get in the car first…
She suddenly froze.
Her smiling face instantly turned into a mask of intense frost.
And it wasn’t just her who reacted.
The head maid, well-trained and observant, reacted even faster than Yun’er.
She calmly retrieved a long wooden stick from the car, gripped it firmly, and stood in front of Ye Zhiyun and Ye Zhibai, planting the stick forcefully on the ground!
Like a goddess of war!
Huh?
Huh?!
What’s going on? Did you suddenly decide to film a movie?
“Someone is hiding, in the shadows.” The head maid said only this.
Yun’er stepped forward, shielding the bewildered Ye Zhibai behind her.
Her gaze, along with the head maid’s, was fixed on the greenbelt five meters to the east of the vehicle.
A row of densely packed willows grew there, providing ample cover for hiding.
Instead of panicking, Yun’er’s face showed extreme disdain.
“Oh, bold move, hiding in the school, and even specifically when my sister visits, sneaking around. Truly courting death…”
How did you even notice someone was there!
Ye Zhibai tried to open her eyes as wide as possible but couldn’t see anything unusual among the willows, making her so frustrated she wanted to go over and check.
Oh right… I still have a deity with me!
Ye Zhibai quickly turned to Guang Yu, only to meet her blinking eyes as she sent a telepathic message!
“What’s going on? What happened all of a sudden? Why is it so scary?”
“……”
Classic, a rapid-fire quadruple question.
You’re so scared you’re speaking in different dialects now, huh?
This cheeky fox must have exhausted her divine powers and couldn’t investigate, feeling insecure.
Before Ye Zhibai could react, the head maid had already efficiently issued the first and last warning towards the bushes.
“To the friend hiding behind the willows, please show yourself immediately! Avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and harm to the innocent!”
“……”
It wasn’t far away.
Ye Zhibai distinctly heard… the rustling sound from behind the willows.
That was the sound made by someone walking out, their footsteps rustling against the grass by the willows.
There really was someone?!
Of course there was.
Yun’er had been learning self-defense from the maid team since she was young, and her vigilance was top-notch.
And the head maid’s investigative skills were unparalleled, almost legendary.
The person behind the willows evidently knew better than to be uncooperative.
That person… responded to the warning by revealing themselves.
Emerging — like the spring breeze in April, bringing a field of blooming peach blossoms.
The person who walked out from behind the willows was a girl.
Her blond hair was dazzling, and her crimson eyes were shimmering.
About 1.7 meters tall — a perfect height for a girl.
She had a slim and well-proportioned figure, with a dignified and graceful appearance.
Her every step was elegant, and her blond shoulder-length hair seemed to sparkle in the sunlight, a sight pleasing to the eye.
She exuded a noble aura that could only be cultivated in an exceptional family environment.
Facing the group, she clasped her hands in front of her, tilted her head, and smiled, her right eye filled with a myriad of charms.
The reason only the right eye was mentioned is because her left eye was covered by long, blond bangs, giving her hairstyle a somewhat peculiar look.
She was also wearing the Qihai No. 1 High School uniform, her slender legs wrapped in black knee-high socks.
Elegant, simple, and lively.
To be honest, this was the first time since Ye Zhibai’s rebirth that she had seen someone whose looks could rival Yun’er’s.
In terms of appearance alone, they both absolutely deserved to be described as stunningly beautiful.
However, the aura they exuded was completely different. Yun’er’s aura was cold, while this girl’s demeanor was gentle and amiable, with…
A hint of allure?
Does our city produce such beautiful girls in abundance?!
I never knew that before!
Ahem… If only Ye Zhibai had a mirror in front of her; otherwise, looking at her own face, she would never have drawn such a conclusion.
Guang Yu could vouch that no matter how stunning, they couldn’t compare to Ye Zhibai’s beauty. The creation of the goddess was no joke!
Staring at the girl with blond shoulder-length hair and bangs covering her left eye, the head maid, surprised, relaxed her grip on the wooden stick, her tense mood completely eased.
“Miss Lin?”
Miss Lin?
From the way the head maid addressed her… was she an acquaintance?
Even if she was familiar, Ye Zhibai certainly didn’t know her.
As for Yun’er… her expression of disgust deepened upon seeing the blond-haired girl.
The blond-haired girl ignored this disdain.
Her eyes were entirely focused on Ye Zhibai, who stood at the back without the slightest change in expression.
She half-covered her mouth with a smile, her crimson eyes reflecting Ye Zhibai’s figure.
With a voice as melodious as silver bells, she spoke as she smiled slightly.
“Oh my, I heard that adorable little Bai’er was discharged from the hospital yesterday, so I came to take a look. And look at that, I actually ran into you! Oh my… it seems my luck is quite good, isn’t it?”
“?”
