Chapter 10

During class, the teacher walked into the classroom with a transfer student.

"Please introduce yourself to the class," the teacher said.

The boy had an athletic build, handsome features, and an arrogant gaze. His whole demeanor exuded a cold aura that suggested he wasn't someone to be trifled with. "Fu Baili," he stated simply.

A collective gasp went through the room.

The transfer student's arrival immediately sparked heated discussions among the students.

He was so handsome: definitely had the looks of a campus heartthrob.

"The transfer student is so handsome! I heard from others that his family donated an entire library to the school. Good looks and wealth: he must have lots of admirers already," Ling Hui excitedly whispered to Zhao Youyou beside her.

"Yeah..."

Zhao Youyou was lost in thought.

She remembered that in her previous life, she had been one of Fu Baili's pursuers, shamelessly following him around despite others' mockery.

Now, having come to her senses, she clearly understood the vast difference in their social status. She wouldn't fall for him this time.

"Fu Baili, there's an empty seat at the back. Please sit there for now," the teacher said.

Fu Baili strode down from the podium toward the empty seat. With raised eyebrows and a roguish smile playing on his lips, he set the female students' hearts aflutter once again.

Fu Baili's seat was right across the aisle from Lu Zhe's right side.

When class ended, Fu Baili's desk was surrounded by students.

Especially girls, who eagerly offered to help him with his studies. While some male students were irritated by Fu Baili's arrogant attitude, they didn't dare confront him, knowing about his wealthy background.

Su Ci lazily lifted her eyelids, her ears twitching at the annoying noise.

She glanced across at Fu Baili, who maintained his cold demeanor as if he were the most important person in the world. Hearing everyone discuss how Fu Baili was the campus heartthrob, she rolled her red eyes.

If Lu Zhe hadn't developed ALS, which made his face stiff and his cheeks slightly sunken, how could Fu Baili possibly compare to him?

Moreover, Lu Zhe was the top student in their grade, while this protagonist Fu Baili was just a poor student.

Unfortunately, Fu Baili's protagonist halo was too bright, blinding everyone to the point where they ignored the top student and instead fawned over an academic underachiever.

Su Ci turned her head and went back to sleeping.

In just one day, Fu Baili's name dominated dozens of threads on the school forum, with many requesting photos of the campus heartthrob. Numerous girls deliberately passed by the classroom door or waited outside the school gates just to catch a glimpse of him.

After school, when Fu Baili got into a limited edition luxury car, everyone stared in amazement.

Su Ci poked her little head out from behind Lu Zhe's backpack: well, the protagonist's halo had just grown even brighter in everyone's eyes.

......

At night, the bright moonlight fell on the treetops along both sides of the road, and an evening breeze swept away the day's stuffiness.

Being Thursday, Lu Zhe didn't need to go to the computer store.

Su Ci lay on his grey bed, watching him sit at his desk typing on the keyboard, the screen filled with code she couldn't understand. The computer screen's light fell on Lu Zhe's profile, outlining his distinct features.

As she watched, Su Ci became mesmerized.

She truly felt that every aspect of Lu Zhe's appearance matched her aesthetic perfectly.

Deep-set eyes, straight nose, sensual thin lips.

His figure was even more impressive: broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs that even the plain blue school uniform pants couldn't hide. Even his fingers, typing away at the keyboard, were long and beautiful, and felt nice when he patted her head.

Su Ci suddenly thought that kissing Lu Zhe wouldn't be a bad deal at all.

The frustrating thing was, he wouldn't kiss her.

Su Ci hated heat the most.

Feeling the cool temperature beside her, she drowsily pressed her body against it, naturally hugging the big ice block.

Still not satisfied, Su Ci nuzzled her head against the ice block, content only when she felt the coolness spread.

Lu Zhe had just fallen asleep when he suddenly felt something hugging his waist and something soft nuzzling his chest.

He reached out to touch it.

His hand encountered smooth, delicate skin.

His eyes snapped open, and he looked down.

In the hazy moonlight, the girl looked as beautiful as a fairy, her soft face nuzzling his chest, her skin as white as snow.

Lu Zhe froze, quickly grabbing the nearby sheet to cover the girl's unclothed body, concealing the startling sight.

He got up and immediately switched on the bedside lamp.

The dim room suddenly lit up.

Su Ci's eyes were stung by the light, and she instinctively buried her head in the blanket. "So sleepy, why did you turn on the light?" Her voice was soft and pleasant, heavy with drowsiness, almost like she was spoiling someone.

Lu Zhe stood by the bed, his dark eyes fixed on the slender figure buried under the blanket, his mind now completely alert.

"Who are you?" he demanded.

Under the blanket, Su Ci shifted slightly and continued to sleep deeply.

When there was no response, Lu Zhe leaned forward to shake her awake. In that moment, his gaze inadvertently fell on the girl's ankle exposed outside the blanket. A red string with a small jade gourd was wrapped around it, the delicate thread making her ankle appear even more fair and beautiful.

Lu Zhe squeezed his eyes shut, trying hard to suppress the absurd thoughts in his mind.

He reached over and lifted a small portion of the blanket, exposing the girl's face to the lamplight. Lu Zhe's voice was ice-cold, "Get up!"

The harsh light made Su Ci's beautiful brows furrow.

She let out a sleepy yawn as her eyes slowly opened.

The cold, handsome face loomed large before her.

Su Ci blinked, and in her hazy consciousness, she remembered her intention to kiss Lu Zhe.

"Oh, it's Lu Zhe, how wonderful. I want to kiss you."

She raised her soft "paws" and gently clung to Lu Zhe's shoulders on both sides. Lifting herself slightly, she pressed her beautiful red lips directly onto Lu Zhe's.

It felt slightly soft and cool.

She blinked again.

Su Ci felt the young man's shoulders instantly tense beneath her palms.

She pulled back, sensing something wasn't quite right. Su Ci shifted her gaze to her hands that were still gripping Lu Zhe's shoulders, only to find her small "paws" had transformed into fair, delicate arms.

Su Ci froze for a moment.

She quickly looked down and saw her elegant collarbone exposed from lifting herself up, along with the half-concealed, enchanting snow-white skin.

As awareness returned, Su Ci's misty eyes gradually widened in shock.

Ah ah ah!

Su Ci couldn't believe it. She frantically called out in her mind to Fu Gui.

"Fu Gui, come quick! I think I've turned back into a human in front of Lu Zhe!"

I'm going to die! I'm going to die!
