Chapter 7, it turns out he is a handsome man

What is this guy saying? I can't understand a single word

The bell signaling the end of the second class's break resonated throughout the campus playground, and students from various classes were bustling back. Amidst the noise, a piercing shout suddenly rang out, causing everyone to turn their heads towards the source of the sound—there, on the ground, appeared a pair of feet adorned in pink stiletto heels. A captivating black rose bloomed on the slender instep, with delicate black lines entwining the shoe's surface, finally tied at the smooth, white ankle, adding an extra touch of stunning elegance.

Let us go to the rooftop and wait, so as to avoid further embarrassment here. Xu Xing'er, seeing that the crowd of onlookers showed no signs of diminishing, shot a frustrated glare at Prince Jin, and then took Shiyue's hand and headed towards the rooftop

"You two fools are embarrassing yourselves to the point of reaching Mars, and you still won't stop!" At a glance, the two were shoving each other under the school bulletin board, seemingly on the verge of a serious fight, which immediately drew the terrifyingly high-decibel wrath of Xiong Xing'er.

October was so frightened that it tensed its body, standing as straight as a soldier, yet beads of sweat dripped down its forehead in dark lines of shame

Poor Muye, I really want to give him a hug... Why endure this torment without resisting! It breaks my heart... It seems that Lin Shiyue sensed this feeling, as if a heartfelt sigh filled with compassion came from deep within, prompting Shiyue to want to nod repeatedly in agreement.

Listening to Muye's utterly confident tone, October was both astonished and furious, nearly unable to catch her breath

These two useless individuals actually embarrassed me. Is it a glorious thing to fight among ourselves? If you want to fight, why not find a secluded place? Do you have to do it in school, making a fool of yourselves in front of the whole world for the thrill of it? As she sped along, Xiong Xing'er's anger grew more intense, cursing as she rushed to the scene of the incident

... ...

I also find it strange, as I just had lunch not long ago. However, when I look at the Golden Prince, I can't help but think of ham, and suddenly I feel very hungry. Hearing Xiong Xing'er's words, both Shi Yue and Xiao Chi's gazes immediately turned to the Golden Prince.

What happens next

Mu Ye, it would have been one thing if you had bullied me repeatedly, but now you have even gone so far as to bully my friends!

What is going on here

Not long after, Xiao Chi returned with two sets of clean clothes. He and Prince Jin changed into the clothes in the bathroom and then went to the rooftop, waiting to undergo the hellish interrogation from Xiong Xing'er. Prince Jin was taller and more robust than Xiao Chi, and he awkwardly wore Xiao Chi's clothes, looking as if he was dressed in a high-waisted tight top and short pants, pulling at the fabric as he walked.

Mugye is indeed reaping what he has sown! In the recent episodes, he has consistently been at the forefront of misfortune, always unlucky during the drawing and rock-paper-scissors games: in the previous episode, he became the "live target" and was shot into a hedgehog by arrows resembling toilet darts; in the last episode, he was used as a negative example in cosplay, tied up by everyone and paraded as a monster; this episode, his streak of bad luck continues as he unexpectedly becomes a useless hostage in a police and gangster film, hanging in mid-air like a Peking duck for quite some time, and at a critical moment, the rope breaks, causing him to fall into a pit of flour in the center of the stage, ending up as a makeshift snowman...

Upon seeing Jin Taizi's appearance, Xiong Xing'er immediately raised an eyebrow, but then pretended to be puzzled and murmured, "Why do I suddenly feel hungry! How strange."

Prince Jin looked utterly perplexed until he noticed October subtly pointing at the top of his head, at which point he realized what was happening and angrily yanked the cloth off his head, throwing it to the ground

Jin Taizi and Xiao Chi usually just engage in banter, but everyone knows they are inseparable good friends, so how could they possibly fight? In October, seeing the crowd gradually gathering around, she became anxious and started to pace back and forth. Suddenly, she heard a splash, and something splattered towards her. Instinctively, she jumped back, but the two who were immersed in the fight were not so lucky; they failed to dodge and got drenched, instantly becoming two soaked individuals.

"... ... a boy actually came over to ask me if I was a mixed-race model, and he even wanted to take a photo with me." She proudly lifted the corners of her mouth in a smile, "Of course, I refused, and they actually followed me for an entire street."

None of the three paid any attention to Xiong Xing'er's defense, each standing in a crooked line as if afflicted by rickets, silently protesting Xiong Xing'er's betrayal. Infuriated and humiliated, Xiong Xing'er's charming and bright eyes instantly filled with rage, and with a laser-like glare sweeping over everyone, she shouted: "Stand up straight, all of you!"

Xiong Xing'er gracefully lifted the silver teapot with gold trim, reminiscent of Queen Anne's style, and poured the brewed herbal black tea into four matching exquisite teacups. She then seemingly casually glanced at Shiyue, who was sitting beside her, and let out a light cough

Hehe, it really feels like watching a melodramatic scene where a wicked mother-in-law serves a frustrated daughter-in-law some tea to cool her down. Xiao Chi wore a satisfied expression as he enjoyed the melodrama, curiously observing the differing expressions of the two.

I know that becoming famous overnight would surely make you extremely happy, but there is no need to rush into embracing it so eagerly

The "Lion Star King" serves as an excellent timer alarm; regardless of what occurs in the cat house, everyone will gather punctually in the living room on Friday.

Seeing October, filled with gratitude, thanking herself, Xiong Xing'er couldn't help but reveal a happy smile

Why can't we mention it? 'Xiao Fei' sounds nice and flows well, don't you think, October?

It is not right; how could I feel sympathy for that demon? Have I not been bullied enough all this time?

I ... ! ... I will fight you ... ! After thinking through the sequence of events, I disregarded the series of astonished gazes behind me and turned to run ... ...

Hmph! Xiao Chi disdainfully scoffed, "You really have no brains. Could it be that you lost a fight with someone else again and are using this DV as a wager?"

"October... Should we try this tea?" Jin Taizi looked innocently at the four cups of brewed tea in the center of the tea table, quietly pushing one of the cups in front of October.

In October, Xiong Xing'er's imposing presence startled him into a daze, and it took him quite a while to regain his composure. However, upon seeing the disheveled appearance of Prince Jin, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The effect of the Lion's Roar technique is quite remarkable, as the three individuals suddenly and simultaneously assumed a standard military posture.

In October, a sudden sound echoed in my mind, as if the previously tranquil state of my heart, which had been as still as dead water, was entangled by a storm, creating tumultuous waves that nearly overwhelmed the culprit not far away.

The two were initially taken aback, seeing that Xiong Xing'er's face had turned as dark as ink, yet this time they did not obey her command. Instead, they continued to glare at each other in indignation and pushed each other further.

The result was an immediate scream of pain from the scalding of the tongue in October

Xiong Xing'er raised an eyebrow and questioned bluntly: "October, haven't I already apologized? Why are you still being so sarcastic!"

You ... ...

Jin Taizi looked at his clothes completely drenched and shouted in a rapid-fire manner: "Xiong Xing'er, you actually dare to treat me this way, you... you will face retribution!"

Little did he know that the figure ahead remained oblivious, continuing to walk forward without pause. It was not until October, breathless from the chase, that he reached the lush botanical garden on campus, only to realize that the target he had been pursuing had vanished without a trace

What is going on? When did those two people turn their literary duel into a physical fight? In October, I was puzzled and stunned, and before I could figure it out, I was dragged out of the classroom by Xiong Xing'er.

The ever-watchful Xiong Xing'er immediately let out a cold snort, grumbling in dissatisfaction: "I say, Golden Prince, spare me! Rather than wasting your thoughts on heartless and petty individuals, you might as well show some compassion for my poor Mu Mu darling!"

Xiong Xing'er, who had never taken the initiative to be friendly towards others, remained ignored by Shi Yue. Angered, she pushed away the delicate teacup and sulkily crossed her arms, letting out a cold huff while staring at the television.

Forget about me, it's very hard to like me, because... you will be bullied terribly by me!" Muye wickedly curled his lips and winked at her

One could guess with their toes who the owner of these expensive sneakers is; who else could it be but the golden prince who spends all day with the Sichen football team? But how did he end up here?

The last person in a state of extreme shock was October, who almost had their eyes pop out in astonishment

Threatened ... ... seek justice

Not only can one not see the traces of those who once loyally followed her, but he also constantly clings to October, with even the body standing between them leaning towards October.

No wonder you always get so excited when you see me, such intense feelings! If you like me, there's no need to use such a clichéd excuse. I have too many programs recently and truly do not have time to play games with you. Because ... ...

But he hasn't acted yet, and Xiao Chi continued, "Look at his face, it's as red as Guan Gong, wrapped up like a zongzi, it definitely looks like a Harbin red sausage!" As soon as he finished speaking, the golden prince transformed from a red sausage into a green cucumber

"No! What nonsense are you talking about? That guy is too much; I just wanted to seek justice, but who knew he would resort to underhanded tactics behind my back? No wonder... would be threatened..." The originally indignant Golden Prince suddenly stopped mid-sentence, his face turning red to the neck again, and he occasionally stole glances at October.

"Truly a born pauper, afraid that even drinking tea will be snatched away!" Xiong Xing'er glanced at her with undisguised disdain, simultaneously exuding the arrogance of a queen while pouring tea into the cup of October.

What is meant by a trivial matter?" Before October could respond, the Crown Prince, who had caught up from behind, disdainfully snorted and positioned himself between the two: "Who was it that patted their chest and claimed they would definitely protect October and would not betray their fellow members of the Crown Prince faction? In the end... hm!"

Faced with Xiong Xing'er's cold mockery, Jin Taizi did not argue, but silently buried his head in tea while anxiously watching Shiyue. It seemed that the oblivious Shiyue was completely unaware of the undercurrents just moments ago, as from the very beginning, all her attention was firmly locked onto Muye in "The Lion King".

Such flamboyant shoes, apart from Queen Xiong Xing'er, who else would dare to wear them

Isn't it said in the psychological tests of entertainment magazines: the person towards whom your body leans while standing is the one you trust

The mottled shadows of the trees fell upon the back of the pasture, casting the white T-shirt as if it were the wings of an angel gently fluttering. That lightness and purity almost made October illusion that all the detestable deeds were entirely unrelated to the figure before me

A single sentence made all three, including Xiao Chi, burst into laughter

My home is nearby, I can just go back and get two sets. Xiao Chi is certainly calmer than Jin Taizi, and he jogged back to get the clothes.

In October, I was suddenly taken aback, my mind felt like it had been stuffed with a tangled mess, and I couldn't make sense of it at all

Fortunately, almost all the classmates were frightened away by Xiong Xing'er's intimidating aura, with only an occasional one or two passing by; otherwise, it would have been a truly embarrassing situation, akin to losing face in the Atlantic Ocean.

It was unclear whether it was a shout of anxiety or inquiry, but in October, without the slightest hesitation, she chased after the gradually receding figure, leaving behind the bewildered Xiong Xing'er and the other two.

Looking at the unperturbed face in October, her arrogance diminished slightly, and she murmured softly, "It's just a small matter, isn't it unnecessary to react this way"

By the time October, with a bewildered expression and a dizzy mind, came to her senses, Muye had long since vanished without a trace. She could only lift her defeated feet and stagger back, having just taken a few steps when she nearly tripped over a pair of white sneakers, caked in mud, hidden among the bushes.

Unexpectedly, Muye's smiling face, flawless and radiant, shone with light. "Why don't you expose me, tell Xiong Xing'er and the others, or inform the television station, tell everyone that I am a heinous scoundrel and a great liar? Why not say it?"

It is estimated that the bucket of water splashed by Xiong Xing'er is dirty water that was just used to wipe the blackboard and has not yet been disposed of. Not only is it murky, but there is also a black rag inside. At this moment, this black rag is perched on the head of the Crown Prince, with dirty water dripping down his hair, leaving strange "black tears" on his face. Coupled with his frowning expression and fierce demeanor, he looks more like a malevolent ghost.

Upon seeing the imposing newcomer, the crowd immediately scattered like a tide, creating a spectacular scene reminiscent of Moses parting the sea, as a path was forcefully cleared for Xiong Xing'er through the throng, with the end of the path leading to the habitually bowed head of October

Lifting his head, his gaze instantly collided with a pair of eyes that blended mockery, jest, and self-satisfaction, as the soul of the devil slowly oozed from the slightly curved corners of his peach blossom eyes

What a fool Jin Taizi is! With his naive and impulsive personality, how could he possibly be a match for that cunning fox of a man?

Upon hearing the Crown Prince inadvertently let something slip, October suddenly recalled the moment when she was bitten back by Muye, the pair of sneakers hidden in the bushes, caked with mud. She instantly realized: could it be that the Crown Prince thought she was being threatened by Muye and sought to find someone to help her seek justice, only to be used by Muye instead

Xiong Xing'er, aware of her own shortcomings, could only defensively explain: "... it's not a big deal, I merely revealed a small part of October's true identity to the production team, but I didn't mention any key points! Otherwise, how could I have only received one ticket? Moreover, it hasn't caused any consequences, has it? Anyway, everyone has been following the new project 'It Turns Out He's a Pretty Boy' from 'Lion Star King' lately, wondering where they found so many handsome men gathered together. The audience's attention will always follow the highlights of the trend; compared to these increasingly beautiful young men, the little palace maid is merely an outdated gossip topic that no one cares about anymore.

It is quite strange to say that due to my timid personality, I always shrink back and feel fearful in front of anyone, never resisting the domineering attitude, only knowing to submit to circumstances. However, only when facing Muye do I feel as if I am a volcano awakened, ready to erupt completely

Wait a moment

Lin Shiyue, stop right there!

It is crucial, just for a ticket to the show, you sold someone out. At least help me get one more ticket. Xiao Chi, who had come along at some point, fanned the flames as if watching a good show.

At the beginning, it was clearly I who had the upper hand... At the beginning, it was clearly I who questioned his crimes with reason and evidence...

Mu Ye's smile deepened, causing Shiyue to involuntarily break out in goosebumps. Unexpectedly, he shook his head with a hint of regret while ambiguously wrapping his arm around Shiyue's shoulders, saying, "Recently, I've been working on a program for boys. Even if you were willing to undergo gender reassignment surgery for me, the possibility of becoming a handsome man is almost zero... Moreover, I would feel sorry for you, you know."

Do you dare to insult again? Do you want me to pour another bucket of water on you to cool you down?" Xiong Xing'er glared with her almond-shaped eyes and retorted in an annoyed tone

Ming ... ? ... Ming Chen Yu ? Isn't this name that of the legendary mysterious figure in the cat shelter

Is that so? Muye smiled nonchalantly, revealing a set of beautifully aligned and pristine white teeth that could easily be featured in an advertisement. He stepped forward, pinched October's chin, and lifted it upward; with a slight pressure, he compelled October to open her mouth. His serious and focused expression resembled that of a promising young dentist: "What a pity, such a lovely girl actually has a cavity... If you don't brush a bit more every day, I think you'll be the first one to lose a tooth."

"You... what did you say?" Xiong Xing'er suddenly became incoherent, staring at Xiao Chi in disbelief. The queen's imposing aura vanished in an instant, "You, say it again! Ming Chen Yu... fake BL..."

"Hoo hoo—consider yourself lucky to escape so quickly..." October looked ahead in disappointment, reached up to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead, and turned to head back. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she collided forcefully with a slender yet sturdy chest.

At this point, the smile that had lingered on Xiao Chi's lips vanished, and his gaze turned icy as he glared at the Crown Prince who had committed an atrocious crime: "It’s all because of this fool, who, for some unknown reason, sought Ming Chenyu's help to record a DV. As a result, Ming Chenyu kindly assisted him. He actually gave this DV to 'Lion Star King.' When it aired last week, it was edited into a pseudo-BL segment and was parodied in the 'So It Turns Out He’s a Pretty Boy' segment. Now, this DV has become the treasured possession of the school's fujoshi club..."

Monday classes are often the most demanding and stressful, making the morning of October 1st feel like a battle. After enduring until the lunch break, she finally has a moment to catch her breath and listen to her "master" Xiong Xing'er proudly and disdainfully recount her weekend "troubles"

... ...

Forget it, I just want to lie in bed now and have a good sleep, hoping to wake up and find that everything was just a dream

"Evil stepmother? Xiao Fei, do you wish to be cast into the cold palace by me?" Xiong Xing'er immediately retorted at a high volume, causing Xiao Chi's face to turn a shade of green and then pale.

Suddenly splashed by Xiong Xing'er, the two "drowned chickens" calmed down, each taking a step back despite their mutual disdain for one another

Xiong Xing'er pressed her stomach, which hurt from laughing, and finally managed to maintain a serious expression. However, her voice softened a bit as she pointed at them and began to lecture: "You two troublemakers have embarrassed yourselves all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Why don't you honestly explain what exactly happened!"

... ...

In October, she gazed blankly in the direction of the sound, only to see Xiong Xing'er casually throw the empty water bucket in her hand onto the ground. She whistled at the drenched and stunned Prince Jin and Xiao Chi, her slender eyebrows raised in triumph: "Hit them, beat them to death for me! I was so excited just now that I accidentally trembled my hand!"

How did things suddenly become this way

I once said, do not mention the words 'Xiao Fei' again

Recalling Muye's incredibly handsome face and his endless supply of wicked schemes, October felt a surge of anger.

Xiong Xing'er and Shi Yueyi were taken aback. Just moments ago, Xiao Chi had been in a life-and-death confrontation with the Crown Prince, yet now he was suddenly speaking in favor of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince looked at Xiao Chi with immense gratitude, as if he were about to rush over and embrace him, calling him a good brother.

Alright, you all hurry and change into clean clothes, otherwise it is very easy to catch a cold" October could no longer hold back and reminded with a suppressed smile

October, however, seemed utterly ungrateful; she stared at the television screen motionlessly, as if her soul had left her body, her unwavering gaze as if to bore a large hole into the television.

Rubbing the subtly aching temples, October staggered towards the cat shelter

"I'm hungry?" The three people, perplexed, had no idea what kind of scheme Xiong Xing'er was concocting.

In October, her heart skipped a beat as she recalled the conversation she had with Muye that the Crown Prince had overheard in the afternoon. She hurriedly picked up her teacup and gulped down the tea to divert her attention: "Hehe, the tea seems to be a bit too cold... Ah—"

Xiao Chi frowned and retorted, "You are not seeing it clearly; it does not resemble ham at all."

"If I don't show my power, do you think I'm a sick cat? I've already said this, yet you still won't let it go. If you want to blame someone, why not go find the person who filmed it! If it weren't for that shameless person who secretly filmed the DV in October, nothing would have happened! The one who filmed the DV is the real culprit! I better not find out who did it, or I will make sure he won't even recognize himself!"

"Crown Prince Jin, how dare you do this?" Xiong Xing'er's angry voice interrupted Shiyue's memories. The Crown Prince Jin, who had transformed from a cucumber into a limp eggplant, rubbed his nose in grievance and said in a weak voice: "I was deceived by them... Last time, I only agreed to help record a segment of DV, who knew they would broadcast it and distort it into BL..."

Suddenly awakened, October felt a pang of annoyance as it pondered to itself. Irritated, it picked up the teacup in front of it, only to inadvertently catch the Golden Prince staring intently at it, as if declaring with a domineering gaze: Hmph, only I can bully you

Oh, I see. Before she could speak, Mu Ye stared at her meaningfully, his gaze seemingly capable of penetrating to the deepest secrets of her heart, "You have fallen for me."

Isn't the person who is now drifting past them with such nonchalance the one who is "shameless"?

However, the atmosphere today is quite unusual

... ...

Thank you, An'er

Who knows? Xiong Xing'er playfully tossed her satin-like long hair and confidently praised October, saying, "Not bad, October, it seems your mind has become sharper lately, indeed you have been influenced by my powerful aura..."

The sound of high heels clicking, reminiscent of a small jet, surged forward unobstructed into October. Before she could turn back, a tall figure blocked her path.

Mu Ye raised his signature wicked smile, instantly making the chaotic October feel awakened: No, no, no...! ... Do not be deceived by his charming appearance, this guy is definitely not an angel, he is a genuine demon

Furious, Xiong Xing'er swore vehemently, wildly waving her arms as she admonished, "You three must return to the cat house on time every night..."

Clang

Upon seeing Jin Taizi, Xiong Xing'er was filled with rage; this fellow has practically been on the verge of rebellion during this period!

Seeing the strange behavior of Prince Jin, Xiong Xing'er also turned to look at Lin Shiyue, wearing an expression of curiosity

Hmph! ... How could he willingly become a clown seeking attention ... This only deepens October's disdain ... However, for some reason, seeing that somewhat slender figure on the screen, with slightly furrowed elegant brows, evokes a subtle, bittersweet feeling in her heart ...

Another crucial point in the rules of Xiong Xing'er is: those who approach the master bedroom on the second floor—death

You... in October, both shy and angry, forcefully broke free from Muye's grip, loudly accusing him as if she wanted to pour out the pent-up dissatisfaction in her heart like a torrential rain. "First, you secretly filmed my video, then pretended to be a gentleman to enter the cat shelter, taking the opportunity to threaten and deceive me! You clearly swore to keep my identity confidential, yet in the end, you used the exposure of my identity on the show to increase the ratings..." You clearly swore to keep my identity confidential, yet in the end, you used the exposure of my identity on the show to increase the ratings...

Sitting quietly to the side, Xiao Chi observed the two girls who were ignoring each other, and chose to remain silent.

Xiong Xing'er glared at Lin Shiyue, who treated her like an invisible person, raised her proud chin, and cast a cold glance at the people around her. The students, who had initially harbored a slight curiosity to watch the commotion, immediately scattered in all directions, fearing to provoke even a hint of the explosive temper of this fierce lady.

"You are truly shameless!" October blurted out without a moment's thought

"What a wicked ghost!" The Crown Prince immediately fell silent, muttering a reluctant remark.

October absolutely believes that Xiong Xing'er has this capability: "Will they think you are a star?"

Before Xiong Xing'er could finish speaking, she suddenly saw someone running over from a distance, shouting as they ran: "Xiong Xing'er, Xiong Xing'er, it's terrible! Xiao Chi and Prince Jin are fighting!"

Stop right there!

I still remember when I first took on the responsibility of cleaning the cat shelter. Whenever I approached the door of Ming Chenyu's room, I would be suddenly stopped by Xiao Chi, who seemed to spring out of nowhere, as if my presence sullied the sacred ground. Xiao Chi was like a haughty minister guarding the emperor, regarding me with an extremely disdainful gaze, declaring that someone like me, akin to dust, must maintain a distance of at least five meters from that room. Otherwise, for every step taken inside, there would be a repair!

Although she had never seen his true face, she had long heard countless legendary tales about him. She knew that the innermost master bedroom on the second floor of the cat house belonged to Ming Chenyu, a person who could make Xiong Xing'er willingly reside in the secondary bedroom—someone who had already surpassed the limits of October's imagination
