The Ugly Girl Gained a Beauty Purchase System-Chapter 29: School Sports Day 06
Chapter 29
A terrifying pain spread from every muscle in her legs, making her feel like her nerves would explode at any second.
However, compared to the pain she endured when she shed her skin, this was nothing...
She could barely stand steadily, her back facing Zhou Zhou.
Yan Xi still stood with her back straight like a proud princess.
"Xi Xi, what's wrong with you?" Tu Qingluan came back from dealing with something and had just arrived at the sports field.
Seeing that her face looked off, Tu Qingluan reached out to support her.
"Don't touch me!" Yan Xi seemed to yell this out from deep in her throat, her eyes red at the corners.
Zhou Zhou heard it and turned his head around too.
"Xi Xi..."
When Tu Qingluan had just touched Yan Xi's hand, the girl suddenly collapsed, her whole body crashing into his arms.
Caught off guard, before Tu Qingluan could put his arms around her waist, the girl's legs gave way and she slumped down onto the ground.
The tearing sensation was especially acute in the muscles on the inside of her thighs. Her tendons seemed to be pulled!
"Ugh...." Yan Xi's face was deathly pale, sweat pouring down her like rain.
Tu Qingluan hurriedly squatted down to let her lean against him.
"Get lost! Didn't I already tell you not to touch me?" Yan Xi was annoyed, the pain made her breathing uneven.
She had used a lot of effort just to barely stand properly, yet he had forcibly come over to grab her!
She was really grateful, okay?
"Where does it hurt? Let me help you up. Xi Xi."
"Piss off!" The young girl seemed to be thoroughly infuriated, cursing as she did.
As they tussled, a section of her slender waist was revealed.
Zhou Zhou's eyes darkened slightly.
Tu Qingluan also noticed Zhou Zhou's gaze. He covered Yan Xi's waist subtly, and his fingers tightened around her wrist unconsciously.
"Xi beauty, are you okay?" Guan Yongyan had come over with the rest of the group too.
A few of the girls from the class gathered around too.
"Give me a hand please, thanks." Yan Xi seemed to realize she had lost her composure earlier, and quickly regained control of her emotions.
"Okay, Tu Qingluan let go of her!" Guan Yongyan also knew that with all the guys around, Yan Xi would feel uncomfortable as the only girl.
Tu Qingluan reluctantly let go, but only moved back half a step, as if to prevent Yan Xi from falling again.
Guan Yongyan quickly went forward to support Yan Xi, creating some distance between her and Tu Qingluan.
Every step was agony for Yan Xi.
"Ugh... wait... wait." After just a few steps, Yan Xi's entire body slumped against Guan Yongyan.
Yan Xi's hands were propped up on Guan Yongyan's shoulders as she breathed heavily and painfully, visibly on the verge of tears from the pain.
Her hauntingly beautiful face made everyone who saw it catch their breath.
Guan Yongyan also seemed unable to bear the weight of the girl, and they were about to topple over when,
the next moment, Zhou Zhou suddenly strode over and hoisted Yan Xi directly onto his shoulder.
Note: It was hoisted!
Yan Xi felt her entire body suddenly lifted into the air, the bottom of her stomach painfully jabbed by his shoulder blade.
"I'll take her to the infirmary!"
"Are you crazy, Zhou Zhou? Put her down, she'll feel bad." Guan Yongyan was astonished too.
"Zhou Zhou, put her down. I'll carry her to the infirmary!" Tu Qingluan reached out to grab her, his face extremely ugly as he tried to take over Yan Xi.
"What business is this of yours? Besides, can you even carry her?" Zhou Zhou's words were spiteful too.
In any case, I want her to feel bad.
Before Yan Xi could voice her protests, Zhou Zhou finished his trash talk and just ran off directly.
Holy shit!
Leaving the dumbfounded crowd behind in the wind.
"F*ck." Tu Qingluan's eyes turned a bit red as he watched Zhou Zhou's departing figure carrying Yan Xi away, his gaze somewhat gloomy.
That guy was obviously trying to steal her...

"Let...me...go..."
【Zhou Zhou, have you awakened some fetish of forcefully abducting girls?】
【Don't you know yourself? When you were shedding, your screams weren't even one-tenth as loud as they are now, were they? 】 Pandora said expressionlessly. She was obviously just pretending on purpose.
Indeed, she was deliberately putting on an act.
Because the things that people desire and hope to possess all share a common trait - they are beautiful.
You cannot expect the average person to discern your inner beauty from the outside. So you have no choice but to perfectly portray outer beauty.
Yan Xi was in so much pain that her mind grew blurry, but since she had already lost, she couldn't let herself suffer losses.
Things were already like this, maximizing benefits was what she truly sought.
"Beg me!"
"Ugly...faced...yet...thinks so...highly...dumbass..." The girl pinned over his stomach uttered breathlessly.
"Oh? Still quite feisty huh, little missy?" Zhou Zhou was extremely nasty, running halfway across the school with her hoisted over his shoulder without even panting.
To make Yan Xi uncomfortable, he deliberately took paths with more stones, intentionally taking long detours, jostling her stomach until she felt like vomiting.
"...Let...me...down...jerk..." Yan Xi's face was deathly pale, nearing her limit.
The acute discomfort in her abdomen, mixed with the excruciating pain in her legs that felt like tearing, pulled at her pain receptors.
"Nope, I refuse to let you down! This morning you messed with me for no reason right, having fun weren't ya! Don't think I don't know the whistle was you who put it there! Pretty gutsy!"
"..."
No response.
Zhou Zhou ran for a while more.
"Stop pretending to pass out!"
There was no reaction from the person on his shoulder.
Zhou Zhou suddenly felt something was off, and hugged the girl by the waist to set her down.
The beauty had been tortured by him until her complexion was ghastly pale and she had fainted unconsciously. Her body was drenched in cold sweat, wetting her hair, but it did not diminish her beauty one bit. She possessed an otherworldly allure, like she didn't belong to the mortal realm.
The chilled white skin dampened by sweat had made it hard to discern whether it was anguish or tears, etching a certain taboo.
She wasn't pretending.
As Zhou Zhou looked at the girl's unconscious obedient appearance, a strange delight welled up in his heart uncontrollably.
For a moment, Zhou Zhou felt that she looked extremely pleasing like this.
He had always liked the pure type. If she was more well-behaved, he reckoned he wouldn't have treated her so badly at the start.
"Are you really that determined to win?"

"Shen Qiuyi, you're awake. Drink some warm sugar water." Ji Yao came in holding a cup of warm water she had prepared.
When Shen Qiuyi woke up again, she found herself lying in a bed in the school infirmary. Her legs were wrapped tightly in thick gauze, immobilized.
"Your leg is slightly dislocated, the flesh and skin tissues on your leg...."
"You'll need to focus on recuperating properly. Have a special diet, the list of foods and medication you need to avoid is written here." Ji Yao said to her carefully.
The infirmary at Qingteng East District High School was connected to the city central hospital nearby. If students had any sudden illnesses or difficult to handle issues, they would be sent here.
Extremely close, just two streets away.
Not long after Shen Qiuyi was sent to the school infirmary, she was transferred here.
"....Where is Yan Xi?"
"You mean Yan Xi? Just half an hour before you woke up, she was... carried here to the hospital by Zhou Zhou...."
"Hospital! Why?" Shen Qiuyi cried out involuntarily upon hearing this.
"Don't get agitated. Your schoolmate here, it seems like Yan Xi overexerted herself during sports, so she sustained some injuries. It shouldn't be too serious. Your injuries are more severe actually." Ji Yao consoled.
Injured leg? How did my leg get injured?
I clearly wasn't injured at all, at most I just ran 400m during P.E....
Is it because of me...
Shen Qiuyi's eyes turned slightly red as she unconsciously clenched the bedsheet tightly.
After her emotions stabilized somewhat, she realized Ji Yao was still here.
"Why are you here, Ji Yao?"
"Me? It's because Wang School Doctor had to step out for a bit earlier. Recently I applied to the school to volunteer at the infirmary, so I've been around here the past few days." Ji Yao gave a gentle smile. Dressed in a white coat, she looked gentle and beautiful.
There were tiers for the school's medical volunteers, and it was quite difficult to apply. You needed to maintain top 100 in level grades for the entire year.
"...Oh." Shen Qiuyi had just casually asked. Her mind was completely not present, her expression drifting as she pondered something unknown.
"You and Yan Xi seem pretty close since you two are deskmates. What a nice relationship."
Really nice?
Shen Qiuyi pursed her lips slightly, not saying anything.
"I want to see her, now."
That subtle train of thought spread, she couldn't wait even one more moment.
