Chapter 7

PS: Please give me a recommendation, there's another chapter coming soon.

Zhao Yanqin entered the hotel and asked Xu Le to wait in the lobby while she slipped into the stairwell.

He waited in the hotel lobby for a while, but Zhao Yanqin didn't return. Instead, a group of people came out of the elevator, led by Gao Wenhao, the president of Qu Lei's club. A few team members surrounded him, making him look quite dashing.

These people seemed to have just finished a performance and were coming to the hotel to change clothes. Qu Lei wasn't among them, and Xu Le felt a bit disappointed but still managed a friendly smile and called out loudly.

Gao Wenhao's brows furrowed slightly, and he dismissed the others, telling them to go ahead. He then quickly walked over to Xu Le and lowered his voice, saying, "Qu Lei has already gone home and isn't with us. She probably knew you would be waiting here, so she left early. I think what you're doing is a bit excessive. Qu Lei doesn't like you, so what's the point of you continuing to harass her?"

Xu Le was taken aback. He really didn't know the cosplay club would come here to change clothes. Although he knew it was a misunderstanding, he didn't know how to explain it.

Seeing that Xu Le didn't respond, Gao Wenhao decided to put a bit more pressure on the little fatty. He said in a low, stern voice, "Do you think you're a match for Qu Lei? When you two are together, don't you think people will laugh at her? If you really care about Qu Lei, stay away from her and don't participate in our club activities anymore. I represent the club in saying we don't welcome you."

Gao Wenhao's words made Xu Le feel stifled, and his smile faded. He had a good temper, but he wasn't someone to be bullied. Gao Wenhao's words were too hurtful. Even though Xu Le didn't want to conflict with him, he couldn't tolerate it.

As Xu Le was about to respond, Gao Wenhao thought he was still persistent. His face darkened, and he lowered his voice, saying in a sinister tone, "Have you ever looked in a mirror? With your toad-like appearance, you think you can be with Qu Lei? I can guarantee that the ugliest girl in your school wouldn't like you. I'm giving you face today, but if you... " Just as Gao Wenhao was about to deliver a series of harsh words, a voice like a silver bell, filled with joy, interrupted him, "Xu Le! Xu Le! Are you worried?"

Zhao Yanqin smiled and waved at Xu Le. She had changed into a light purple long dress and slightly altered her hairstyle, letting down her ponytail so that her hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders, instantly changing her entire demeanor.

The change in her appearance was still within Xu Le's acceptance, but Zhao Yanqin had not only changed her look; she had also used some magic. Her face was slimmer but more rounded, her eyes were larger, her eyebrows were longer and more arched, her nose was slightly more defined, her lips were more plump and red... From her facial features, you could still recognize Zhao Yanqin, but her appearance was completely different, making her look like a fairy, with a graceful and ethereal aura.

Three parts charming, three parts alluring, three parts sexy, and one part youthful radiance.

In just a few minutes, this ordinary girl who wouldn't attract much attention had transformed into a breathtakingly beautiful young woman, so beautiful that it left people stunned.

The original Zhao Yanqin could have scored at most 45 points, but now she could score 120 points.

Xu Le was thoroughly amazed!

Zhao Yanqin giggled, blinked, and held Xu Le's arm, her voice becoming softer and more alluring. She said in a low voice, "Finally, I can show my true self. It was so hard to keep up that appearance! Do you think I look good now?"

Xu Le hesitated for a moment but still told the truth, "Very beautiful! Why don't you dress like this for school?"

Zhao Yanqin chuckled and said, "I would attract a lot of toads! Like the one on your left... and he's drooling too."

Gao Wenhao was even more surprised than Xu Le, stunned by Zhao Yanqin's beauty. His mouth hung open, and he forgot to close it. When Zhao Yanqin mentioned it, he finally closed his mouth and wiped the corner of his lips, finding a long, clear strand of saliva that wouldn't break no matter how many times he shook it, making his face turn bright red with embarrassment.

Zhao Yanqin acted as if Gao Wenhao didn't exist, holding Xu Le's arm confidently and laughing, pulling him away with a fresh, fragrant breeze, leaving Gao Wenhao feeling utterly humiliated.

After Zhao Yanqin walked out of the hotel, she blinked and continued, "I don't want to study in a place where demons live, so I have to change my appearance to make myself a bit uglier. Otherwise, boys would definitely chase after me! It's very annoying. I'm a demon, so I can't easily date boys unless they agree to live with me!"

"Live with you! What's so difficult about that?"

Xu Le said it without thinking, but quickly realized he had said the wrong thing, feeling a bit awkward.

Zhao Yanqin didn't mind, laughing and in a very good mood. She said softly, "Many humans are afraid of demons. If they knew my true identity, they would try to harm me."

Xu Le couldn't help but say, "If someone tries to harm you, I'll protect you."

Zhao Yanqin's mouth opened slightly, and her face turned red. She said in a low voice, "You don't even know what kind of demon I am!"

Xu Le said without hesitation, "What kind of demon matters? Aren't they all demons anyway?"

Zhao Yanqin pursed her lips and shook her head, saying, "Some people can accept fox spirits, snake spirits, or even demons transformed from mammals. Some people don't mind objects becoming spirits, but they really dislike insects, especially centipedes and scorpions. If you knew my true form, you might dislike me too!"

Xu Le thought for a moment and said firmly, "As long as you're not a cilantro spirit, I'm not afraid!"

Zhao Yanqin burst out laughing, and if she hadn't been holding Xu Le's arm, he would have been worried that she might fall from laughing. After laughing for a while, she said, "I've never heard of cilantro becoming a spirit. You can rest assured, I'm not a cilantro spirit!"

Xu Le asked curiously, "Then what kind of demon are you?"

Zhao Yanqin rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you say it doesn't matter as long as I'm not a cilantro spirit? Why do you have to ask a girl this question? It's very embarrassing!"

Xu Le pouted, not really agreeing but not continuing to ask. He just felt that Zhao Yanqin's mood was unpredictable, and he found it hard to grasp her thoughts, so he decided not to think about it.

With Zhao Yanqin's distraction, he had forgotten that they had been holding hands all along, acting very intimately, like a young couple.
