The Ugly Girl Gained a Beauty Purchase System-Chapter 50: Caught
Chapter 50
Inside Qingteng, the Christmas party this time started at 6 o'clock. The campus belonged to the students tonight as the school had given the student union full authority and would not be involved in hosting tonight's activities.
The school's auditorium was packed with male and female students, all dressed completely differently from usual. Some were wearing low-cut dresses, some wearing weird pumpkin uniforms, some were cosplaying anime characters, but most were girls wearing evening gowns and boys wearing suits with bow ties, after all the dance that everyone was looking forward to would happen tonight...
Autumn nights always came quickly. By the time Yan Xi arrived, the sky had already darkened.
The school gate was bustling with excitement at this time. Students were lining up to get their IDs checked before entering the venue. Most students from Qingteng East District came from wealthy families, so Yan Xi saw a diverse variety of outfits at the school entrance. The girls' elegant evening dresses came in various colors, paired with all kinds of colored high heels, some extraordinarily high. Masks were mostly cute little animals, looking charming and adorable.
The boys were not to be outdone. Various flashy bow ties, ties, and hairstyles, almost everyone had hair gel on. The masks were also diverse, including cute animals, funny ones, and Superman masks...
"Wow, look at them, dressed so beautifully and formally! Not like you who came wearing just a white shirt." Pandora started to mock.
"I'm not going to dance, so I don't need to wear formal attire. Pandora, are you jealous? I'll buy you a dress another day, paired with 12cm high heels, how about that?"
"..."
Qi Yili had left half an hour earlier than her and was already inside.
Yan Xi stood at the school entrance, took out her student card, and quickly got her ID checked to enter.
As soon as she entered the school, she walked back to her class's classroom.
"It's 8:15 now, Zhou Zhou will enter in 15 minutes. Aren't you going to put away your phone?" Pandora asked puzzledly.
Yan Xi did not answer.
At this time there were a few sparse people in the classroom, as most had gone to the auditorium to dance and socialize.
"Hello, may I ask if there is anything?" In the classroom were a few girls touching up their makeup, one of them was Guan Yongyan.
Guan Yongyan looked at the handsome youth standing by the door in surprise.
There was no student by that name in their class!
Guan Yongyan could vaguely recognize the body types of the male and female students in the class, even if the costumes tonight made them hard to recognize, she could recognize them by their voice.
Guan Yongyan did not choose to wear the gorgeous and beautiful evening gowns most girls opted for tonight. Instead, she wore a sexy little mini skirt, with a cat mask on her face. The few girls around her were mostly in California girl style, looking very youthful.
"Sorry to trouble you, a girl asked me to put this phone in Zhou Zhou's drawer." The voice of the youth before her was clean and melodious. Although the mask he wore was somewhat creepy, one had to admit that some people were still good-looking even with a mask on.
So he was here to deliver something.
Guan Yongyan responded and threw the phone into Zhou Zhou's drawer before hurriedly running out.
"Hey...handsome, don't go!" Guan Yongyan rushed forward to block the youth's path.
With the same commanding air she had when managing her classmates.
"Um...handsome...would you accompany me for a dance?"
Guan Yongyan looked at the youth before her and found him more and more satisfactory, more and more to her liking. Although not very tall, he was still over 10cm taller than her. And he looked handsome!
She had wandered around school for over an hour tonight but hadn't found anyone to her taste. She thought there would be no more dancing for her tonight and had returned to the classroom early. But who would have imagined!
A handsome guy had dropped from the skies! And he was very much to her liking!
She just had to try her luck.
"But I'm not properly dressed for dancing, miss." The youth was somewhat surprised when blocked, while Guan Yongyan's other girlfriends also gathered around to help keep the handsome guy there.
And it was 8:25 now, which meant Zhou Zhou would arrive at school soon.
She originally had no plans to go to the auditorium.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not wearing an evening gown either, aren't we a perfect match then?" Guan Yongyan saw that the youth did not show strong unwillingness, and felt she had a chance.
Go to the auditorium?
Why not.
Looking at Guan Yongyan's expectant gaze, she replied:
"Well then, it would be my honor."
--------------------------------------------------
On the other side, Zhou Zhou had finished a basketball match at around 8:15 and left home.
He timed his arrival accurately to enter the school gates at 8:30 sharp.
As soon as he entered the school, his phone received a new message.
Yan Xi: The phone is in your drawer, I got someone to put it there.
After reading this message, Zhou Zhou headed straight for the classroom.
Zhou Zhou: All hidden? Do you need more time, I'm afraid finding you too fast will lead to accusations of bullying from you.
Yan Xi: Of course, I expect to be ready by 11:59 pm, one minute should be enough time for you to find me right?
Zhou Zhou: ...
Lost for words by the retort, Zhou Zhou stopped replying and went straight for the goal.
Arriving at his seat, he took the phone from the drawer.
As soon as he switched on the phone, the screen showed Yan Xi's location to be at the auditorium.
He was somewhat surprised she had gone to the auditorium.
Zhou Zhou was in no hurry. Instead, he walked over slowly. f𝗿𝚎eweb𝗻o𝐯𝐞l.𝚌om
The reason was simple. The school's auditorium was neither big nor small, finding someone would be difficult but also not too difficult.
It mainly depended on the person's familiarity.
Even with masks on, body shape and walking postures were still recognizable to a familiar person.
That confident huh?
--------------------------------
Zhou Zhou arrived at the auditorium.
It was bustling with people dressed in all sorts of costumes, Zhou Zhou gave everyone a two second scan, checking height, figure, walking postures, and other aspects for recognition. He quickly passed by the different individuals.
Not her.
Not her.
Not her again.
"Zhou Zhou?" Someone suddenly appeared behind him and patted his shoulder.
Being suddenly patted surprised Zhou Zhou and he almost swung a fist back at the person.
"Fuck, trying to murder me? Why so hard?" Kong Jie screamed in pain.
"Didn't I tell you not to pat people's shoulders in the dead of night?" Zhou Zhou laughed in spite of his anger. Giving someone a fright but still daring to make a din.
"Really unexpected. Didn't you say these kinds of parties were too boring in 10th grade?"
"What business is it of yours?"
"Alright, forget what I said. Today I..."
Seeing him, Kong Jie was rather excited, he had put in quite some effort dressing up today, really hoping someone could evaluate his outfit.
Suddenly, in Zhou Zhou's peripheral vision, he unintentionally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
"Hey! Zhou bro where are you going?"
He did not even get to finish his words.
Kong Jie watched as Zhou Zhou's figure dashed forward like an arrow toward a certain direction.
It's her!
"Gotcha."
