56 Worried

Zhou Lei walked out of the bathroom with a towel on his hair. Ever since his face and figure were upgraded, he was much more conscious about his hygiene and diet.

He wanted to maintain this gorgeous figure, even if System suddenly disappears or something of the sort happens.

This scene of him walking out of the bathroom was enough to make multiple girls lose consciousness. This... this was way too attractive! Even boys would be swayed by his perfect figure and handsome face!

Zhou Lei himself was tempted when he looked at the mirror. He bit his lips, muttering, "Damn, I look too good."

Of course, it was impossible for him to fall in love with himself unless he wanted to be labeled as a psycho... Obviously, no one wanted to be called a psycho.

"Haah, at least she gets a piece of this, right?" Zhou Lei tried to comfort himself by giving an excuse. However, he knew that it was condescending and would be an insult if the other party were to hear of it. No woman wanted to be called as someone that would sleep with a stranger as long as they were handsome, or in shorter terms, a *****.

Also, although extremely unlikely, this could very well be his teacher's first experience like him. If that really was the case, then he wouldn't want to stain that memory for his teacher now, would he?

Thus, he resolved himself once more.

.....

Check! Someone was checked in.

Wen Hui pulled her slip out of the machine with great effort. Her arms were weaker than normal. "Haah... whatever happens, happens."

Chen Chen entered the building. He was still confused by the events of the previous day. After chasing around someone he couldn't recall, he went home, only to get an intense headache. As he readied to get some medicine, this headache suddenly subsided. Thinking that the headache wouldn't strike again, he got ready for bed. Unfortunately for him, he got a headache more intense than before. Standing up to buy medication, the headache disappeared. Laying down, it returned. Getting off the bed, it was gone. Shutting his eyes, it was back. At this point, Chen Chen just gave up and went to bed.

The machine was located right at the entrance of the school. Since this was the case, Chen Chen noticed Wen Hui's figure using the machine to check in.

He remembered a vague memory from yesterday, and it was him saying that he was giving up on his crush. Looking back at it now, he found it hilarious.

Of course, looking back at something that literally just happened the previous day was also hilarious.

He would never give up on his pursuit to obtain Wen Hui's heart. Although he felt that he never made any progress all these years, he still had hope that she would eventually see him as a man and her potential partner.

As he saw Wen Hui, he put his hand on her shoulder in an attempt to get her attention. He succeeded, and he succeeded brilliantly.

Wen Hui, upon noticing that someone had put their hand on her shoulder, turned around to look whose hand it was.

Seeing Wen Hui turn around, Chen Chen greeted her. "Teacher Wen! Good mor... ning..."

His speech gradually slowed down.

What... the heck?

What the heck?

What in the actual heck?

What happened to you?!

Wen Hui turned around, giving Chen Chen full view of her face. As soon as he saw her face, his eyes widened in shock.

There were massive bags under her eyes. The eyes themselves were red. Also, her forehead was full of wrinkles.

And finally, there was the issue of failed make-up. Actually, it could not be called "failed make-up", since it was so bad, someone would almost think that it was deliberately made that way! How else could such a simple application of makeup be this bad?! Not to mention that the only make-up she used was just powder! Could that be considered makeup? I don't know! One thing was for sure, and it was that Wen Hui messed even just the powder up.

"Oh, it's you, Teacher Chen..." Wen Hui returned Chen Chen's greeting with a weak voice. Her breath had a faint smell of alcohol.

Chen Chen recovered from his shock and quickly grabbed both of Wen Hui's shoulders. His expression turned serious. His brows were furrowed while his eyes were emitting a scrutinizing gaze.

It was clear that he was very worried.

"Huihui! What happened to you?" Chen Chen asked hurriedly, dropping formalities in the process.

"Ouch, ouch!" Wen Hui was surprised by her colleague's sudden action. She felt pain coming from her shoulders.

Hearing Wen Hui's cries, Chen Chen loosened his grip immediately. However, he did not let go completely. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Nothing, nothing's wrong." Wen Hui quickly reassured Chen Chen. She shook her head while speaking.

"...Is that so?" Chen Chen let go of Wen Hui's shoulders.

"Yes, believe me. Everything's okay." Wen Hui quickly nodded to confirm.

"...Okay then." Chen Chen, knowing her, decided to ask again another way instead of directly.

They started to walk through the hallway.

"Then what's wrong with your makeup?" Chen Chen asked curiously.

"My make-up? I don't put any make-up though." Wen Hui was slightly confused by Chen Chen's question. Make-up? I don't even have any at my apartment.

"Ahem. Well, look at yourself in the mirror." As they passed by a restroom, Chen Chen gestured Wen Hui to go there and look at herself. "I'll wait for you."

"...Okay. But if I don't see anything wrong, I'll punch you." Wen Hui playfully said in response. She headed towards the restroom.

Chen Chen stood outside the women's restroom as Wen Hui entered it. After three seconds, a scream could be heard from the restroom.

"Ahhh! What the heck?" Wen Hui could not believe it. Why did she look so horrible today?
