The transformation in both was substantial, making it hard to connect them to their previous selves. Ning Xuan even came back from summer vacation with an improved sense of fashion than the previous school year. Her originally long, black, straight hair, now permed, added to her aura. Her simplistic outfits looked even sexier than before.
Especially Yu Ting, who astoundingly radiated a fierce aura that contrasted greatly with her previous cute-soft-girl style.
Their presence made it seem as if they had "mess with us at your own risk" written all over their faces.
"It feels really nice and smells good too. I noticed my skin feeling softer while washing my face this morning. Where did you buy this?" Ning Xuan asked brightly, her laughter deep and relaxed, revealing shallow dimples.
The class monitor nearby handed out books to both Ning Xuan and Yu Ting, and then sat next to Ning Xuan, who was in the outermost seat, "Classmates, here are your books."
Ning Xuan turned her head, quickly putting on a stern face. The smile disappeared instantly and without laughing, she received the books, squinted at the monitor and said, "Ah, thanks."
"...You’re welcome, boss."
The short class monitor from class two was stunned by her demeanor, involuntarily uttering the word ’boss’ before hastily slipping away.
After dividing the books equally, Ning Xuan turned her head back and continued chatting and laughing with Yu Ting.
Yu Ting, who witnessed the whole process, was just...
Oof.
"Are you short-sighted?" Yu Ting asked, noting Ning Xuan’s habit of squinting at people.
"Yeah, I have over three hundred degrees of myopia; forgot to wear my glasses this morning." Ning Xuan replied honestly, quite satisfied with her response.
If my mom said my smile isn’t pretty, then I wouldn’t smile!
"Hmm, I’ll buy you a pair of contact lenses to try someday."
"Oh, that would be embarrassing. Tell me where you bought that serum. I want to get it."
"Sure."
...
The book distribution process lasted for over half an hour, during which they chatted. The pile of books on the table in front of them was over half a meter high, twenty-five in total, including university-level New Vision English books, Math Probability Theory, and some programming books.
A few boys in the front row kept glancing back, one of them more so than the others. Eventually gathering his courage, a blush spread across his face as he turned around, "Clas...classmates, there are quite a few books, can I help you carry them?"
Before he finished speaking, Yu Ting and Ning Xuan effortlessly picked up their books and stood up.
In comparison to Ning Xuan, Yu Ting was visibly trying harder due to her slender extremities. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
After sizing up Yu Ting, Ning Xuan took on an extra four-to-five books from Yu Ting’s pile, saying, "Let me help you."
She then effortlessly held thirty books in her arms.
"Thank you."
"No problem."
"Classmate, what were you saying just now?" Yu Ting, who had just registered that the boy in front of them had been speaking to her, asked this aloud, as the noisy classroom had prevented her from hearing him clearly.
Without moving, Yu Ting and Ning Xuan stood there, waiting for his response.
Already intimidating to start with, Ning Xuan stood tall and looked down at him.
"..."
"Never mind."
The boy’s face instantly turned from red to pale, he sulked and returned to his seat.
Ignoring the boy’s little mind games, Yu Ting followed Ning Xuan out from the rear door as soon as he told her it was nothing.
Throughout the entire time, the two most talked-about girls didn’t interact with others or bother about the varying eyes watching them.
Gossip about them lingered, from their appearance to their departure.
