Chapter 4 The Witch Boy 3

Xu Qiuqiu changed into a red dress and replaced her hairpins with the ones from her bundle.

She looked in the mirror again, and the once somewhat gloomy pretty girl had transformed into a radiant and cheerful woman, her appearance bearing an eighty percent resemblance to her real-world appearance.

She seems to be naturally suited to red; it doesn't look gaudy at all, but rather makes her look even more radiant and charming. The red color makes her skin look even whiter, making her look more pleasing.

Xu Qiuqiu threw the clothes Qi Gunan had given her on the ground and stomped on them a few times in frustration, "Pah, scumbag!"

After doing all that, she lay down on the bed to rest.

The next day, Xu Qiuqiu looked at the scenery outside the door. It was raining in spring, a light drizzle, like flying catkins or snowflakes drifting in the wind.

Looking at the bamboo forest, now even greener after the spring rain, she felt that this place was truly a paradise, so refreshing and beautiful. If she weren't the helpless heroine, she might have wanted to stay for a couple more days.

She went outside, and the gentle rain fell on her. She just found it amusing; the rain didn't feel like rain at all, and it didn't melt on her.

"Host, take care of yourself! What if you get sick?" 003 had heard that humans are prone to getting sick from getting caught in the rain, and it advised him with some concern.

"It's nothing." Xu Qiuqiu caught the rainwater in her hands and suddenly became interested, saying, "003, let me dance for you."

The young girl moved with light, graceful steps, her body as supple as a willow, her arms as soft and boneless as butterflies fluttering among flowers, her clothes swaying in the breeze, like a fairy dancing on the water.

003 was stunned. It never expected its host to dance so beautifully. It didn't have hands, but it really wanted to applaud its host.

“Host, it seems like someone is there,” 003 said.

Xu Qiuqiu stopped, somewhat puzzled. Had Qi Gunan arrived ahead of time?

She turned around in confusion and saw a very handsome young man.

The boy was dressed in a blue-purple ethnic-style outfit, with silver ornaments adorning his hands, neck, ears, and forehead. He was as beautiful as jade, with a stunning appearance and a perfect face. Although his features were somewhat flamboyant and alluring, his eyes were clear and without a trace of impurity. His hair was as black as silk, and the wind gently blew the stray hairs on both sides of his forehead.

"Who is he? He's so handsome, but his clothes are a bit strange," Xu Qiuqiu asked 003.

"Host, he seems to be Qi Chen, the second male lead who rescued Xu Xiaoqiu before," 003 said, flipping through the plot.

"Qi Chen? What kind of personality does he have? What's he like as a person?" she asked thoughtfully.

"I have a rather simple personality and prefer to be alone." Although 003 didn't know why its host was asking this, it still answered honestly.

"Naive? Does that mean you're easy to fool?"

Xu Qiuqiu was having a conversation with the system in her mind, which Qi Chen was unaware of; all he could see was Xu Qiuqiu staring at him.

Today, one of his pet scorpions crawled into this bamboo forest maze. He followed the scorpion in and saw a beautiful girl dancing gracefully. At the time, he thought she was a fairy who had fallen to earth and dared not disturb her.

When the fairy stopped dancing and looked at him, she was an exceptionally beautiful girl. The girl in red was radiant and charming. Her face was as white as jade, her eyes were bright and sparkling, her lips were rosy, and her figure was graceful. She was so beautiful that she was beyond compare.

Qi Chen blushed instantly when he saw the girl in red staring at him. He was at a loss and even wanted to run away. His heart was beating so fast for some reason.

After hearing 003's words, Xu Qiuqiu made up her mind and slowly walked to Qi Chen's side.

The closer she got, the more she realized that Qi Chen was really handsome.

Qi Chen felt a little nervous, and he suddenly had the urge to run away again.

He felt he was in danger, and he didn't understand why his heart was beating abnormally, or why he was so nervous and flustered as the girl in red got closer to him.

He turned and ran, not even intending to retrieve the little scorpions he had raised.

Xu Qiuqiu seemed to understand Qi Chen's meaning. She quickly reached out and grabbed Qi Chen. Qi Chen's body stiffened, and he completely forgot to act or think.

The girl in red took his hand…

The warm, soft touch sent shivers down Qi Chen's spine. He heard the girl in red say gently, "Why are your hands so cold? Let me warm them up for you."

Then his hands were enveloped by two warm little hands.

Qi Chen was completely exhausted, and he was almost frozen in place.

Xu Qiuqiu looked at Qi Chen's hands; they were fair, slender, and beautiful, with clearly defined knuckles. Indeed, good-looking people also have beautiful hands.

Xu Qiuqiu looked at Qi Chen, whose ears turned red under her gaze. He didn't know where to look. The red-clad girl's slender fingers enveloped his hand, and the warm, soft, and boneless touch made his heart even more unsettled.

Xu Qiuqiu's eyes were both pure and alluring. When she looked at someone intently, it seemed as if she were filled with tender affection. Qi Chen blushed instantly under her gaze.

"003, is Qi Chen an idiot? Why is he so dull and clueless?" Xu Qiuqiu asked 003, seeing Qi Chen's bewildered expression.

“Host, based on his heart rate data analysis, he may have fallen for you.” 003 said truthfully, thinking that the host was amazing. “Host, are you trying to get happiness from him, so you took the initiative to hold the second male lead’s hand?”

"003, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I thought that since he could get in, he could definitely get out, so I took the initiative to approach him. But seeing him looking so dazed, I suddenly felt unsure." Xu Qiuqiu said speechlessly.

"Host, you're so smart!" 003 praised, "But you don't need to worry about that. The later plot is that he saves Xu Xiaoqiu, so he must know the route here!"

"That's good." Xu Qiuqiu was relieved.

She looked up at Qi Chen, her watery eyes filled with sorrow, like an innocent and pitiful girl. "Young master, have you come to save me?"

Qi Chen finally came to his senses. He looked down at the girl in red who was staring at him expectantly. He felt his heart start beating erratically again. "I, I, girl, you, how, are you, here?"

"003, is this Qi Chen a stutterer?" Xu Qiuqiu complained to 003 in her mind.

"No, the data doesn't say that Qi Chen has a stutter. Maybe it's because he hasn't communicated with people for a long time, so he stutters." 003 thought that was probably the case.

A system that has never been in a relationship and a straight woman, of course they can't understand that Qi Chen is actually shy in front of the girl he likes.

Xu Qiuqiu noticed that Qi Chen's ears and face were a little red, and she suddenly felt that even though Qi Chen had a little stutter, he was quite cute.

(There's a kind of rain that's a gentle, continuous drizzle that doesn't melt when it falls on you. In the past, when this kind of rain came, people would say my hair looked like it had been sprinkled with white sugar.)

Because my hair is black, and fine, translucent wisps of white appear transparent against it. Don't accuse me of making this up if you haven't seen it before; I've actually seen it before.

I haven't seen rain like this since I was in elementary school. I'm from the south, and this happened when I was in elementary school. It was a really gentle drizzle, softer than snow, and it didn't melt immediately.
