The Ugly Girl Gained a Beauty Purchase System-Chapter 48: Come Out

"What game?"

"Have you ever played hide and seek?"

Hide and seek is a game that many people often played when they were young.

"What are the rules?"

"The rules are very simple. On the day of the Christmas party, students are required to wear masks to attend, right? After comparing the difference in physical strength between us, it makes more sense for me as the hider. If you can find and catch me among the crowd that night before 12 o'clock, you win. But if you still can't find me after 12, I win. What do you think?" Yan Xi came up with a new set of rules for the game.

"If you hide in a corner all night, the school is so big I can't possibly search the entire campus by myself. And how would I know if you even came to school? What if you didn't come, wouldn't I look like a fool?"

Zhou Zhou couldn't clear his emotions at the moment, but his tone towards Yan Xi was still as sarcastic as ever, not showing a hint of weakness.

"So you don't agree with this game?" Yan Xi said.

"Not exactly, but I have an addendum," Zhou Zhou thought of a way.

"What addendum?"

"You'll know when you come back to school on Monday," Zhou Zhou hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he threw the ball to Kong Jie and turned to leave the basketball court.

"Bro Zhou! You're not playing basketball anymore? Where are you going?!" Kong Jie yelled in confusion at Zhou Zhou's leaving figure.

"Something came up, see you back at school tomorrow night." Zhou Zhou left swiftly and decisively.

"Could he be going after the school belle?" Kong Jie looked at his leaving figure as if he had guessed some shocking secret.

Yan Xi woke up late this morning, Qi Yili was the one who got her out of bed.

After eating the breakfast Qi Yili made for her, the two hurried to school.

They arrived just in time to avoid being marked late.

Originally, after a long period of being in the same class, their classmates' intense stares when she first transferred in had gradually eased up.

But as soon as she entered the classroom today, she noticed the intensity of their gaze was on par with when she first started school, even more scorching than before.

Even Qi Yili who had long gotten used to standing by her side felt extremely uncomfortable.

She had no choice but to ignore her classmates' looks and sat down expressionlessly to start morning reading so as not to disrupt the order.

After morning reading was over, discussion exploded in the class.

"Yan Xi, did you livestream the day before yesterday?" Guan Yongyan was the first to lose patience and came over gossipingly to ask.

Huh?

"Ah ..yes." Seeing Guan Yongyan's expectant look, Yan Xi acknowledged.

"It really was you! So the rumour that you livestreamed with Ji Yao was true!" Guan Yongyan exclaimed loudly. With that volume almost everyone in class had heard.

"Holy shit, it's real!"

Yan Xi suddenly noticed that at some point there were also students from other classes eavesdropping outside the door. Hearing Guan Yongyan's words, some hurriedly went back to class as if to do something, while others had looks of shock and strange excitement on their faces.

???

Seeing Yan Xi's clueless expression, Guan Yongyan started explaining.

"Do you know your stream with Ji Yao went viral! The dance cuts are all over the internet!"

The other girls immediately crowded around her too.

"Yan Xi, I didn't know you were so fierce! Your figure is really incredibly good looking, you've almost become a celebrity in our school now!"

"I'm going to become your fan girl!"

"Do you guys remember that article posted on our school forum a few days ago? I thought it was fake at first. But after seeing the final cuts of your stream edited by netizens, I feel I bought the wrong stock."

"Waaa, thinking about it makes me sad! Ahhhhhhhh I bought the wrong stock!! Last week I swore confidently that Young Master Tu could win Yan Xi's heart!"

"Who didn't ..."

"So I guess my allowance is not coming back..."

With that, the girls gave her strange and ambiguous looks.

"It's probably fake," Shen Qiuyi suddenly spoke, seemingly unwilling to let the girls continue.

"What article?"

Yan Xi was not originally curious, but seeing Shen Qiuyi's attitude suddenly made her very curious.

The girls all laughed strangely when they saw her ask.

???

"What article is it?!"

Yan Xi asked again, forcing them to answer her question.

"See for yourself." Guan Yongyan turned on her phone and opened up an article, shoving it right in front of Yan Xi's face.

"On the few things that must be said between the new and former school belle"

?!

That title? 𝑓𝓻ℯ𝑒𝑤𝘦𝑏𝑛ℴ𝓋ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝓸𝓂

With Yan Xi's speed reading skills, she quickly finished it.

It was fanfiction with her and Ji Yao as the protagonists! !

Moreover, what kind of plot was this? It said Yan Xi's reason for transferring was not a coincidence, but because of someone, and that someone was Ji Yao! Ji Yao deliberately dropping her student ID card was also because she fell in love at first sight with Yan Xi. Exchanging WeChats was premeditated. It even described the ambiguous flirting between her and Ji Yao on campus, all kinds of plays!

The modern fanfic master!

It was like the author had witnessed her and Ji Yao do something at school!

"Is Ji Yao not at school today because she's shy?"

"We didn't believe it at first... But you have been getting pretty close with Ji Yao recently..."

"Um... did you guys.. at the end of the stream... kiss?" Guan Yongyan looked at her expression and whispered tentatively into her ear. The other girls also looked at her with curious and embarrassed expressions.

Their eyes seemed to hope there was really something going on between them, yet also hoping she wouldn't mess with Ji Yao. This look was as complicated as the twisted crullers she had eaten.

"Yan Xi, I need to talk to you, come with me for a moment," Zhou Zhou who was sitting behind Yan Xi suddenly spoke, interrupting the girls surrounding Yan Xi.

"What is it?" Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

She hoped the fanfic author would hide their identity properly, otherwise beware her assassination.

"I'm telling you to come with me," Zhou Zhou spoke curtly, not sounding like a request but more like a fight.

"Xixi," Tu Qingluan also called out to stop her, as if to tell her not to go.

Tu Qingluan had also seen the online edited clips from their stream. While shocked, he also felt an extremely strong sense of unease, as if his carefully treasured possession had been discovered by others and was in danger of being snatched away anytime.

Today, he discovered the looks focused on Yan Xi were even more than before.

Yan Xi thought of the phone call she had hung up on yesterday.

Was he going to talk about the addendum?

"Alright." Yan Xi agreed.

"We have some matters to discuss, don't worry," Yan Xi said to the worried looking Shen Qiuyi and Qi Yili.

To Tu Qingluan, she smiled to appease his mood.
