The Master's Mask Unveiled Again

Chapter 335: Chapter 334: Seventh Brother, why don’t you try cross-dressing?

Lu Mian leaned on one elbow, still fidgeting with her pen, wearing a “stop talking nonsense, don’t label me” expression while looking at the chubby and slim brothers.

“…”

Guo Zihao and Yuan Hao looked at each other, seemingly coming to an understanding.

They bent over, whispering to each other.

“But, Lu Mian didn’t drink that night…” Shouhao declared, patting his chest. He had been very cautious at the party, and he swore that Lu Mian hadn’t even touched the cap of the bottle.

“The only problem was that glass of juice!” the chubby Hao said.

The brothers suddenly realized, and it wasn’t hard to explain why Lu Mian had punched Director Qimo. It must have been during class, heh heh heh…

Poor Director Qimo!

Torn with indecision, they wondered whether to remind Lu Mian that she actually hadn’t just gone to sleep after getting drunk, but instead…

“Lu Mian, do you have a misunderstanding about yourself? Actually, when you got drunk…”

They tried to find the right words to explain everything, the most important thing was to make Lu Mian believe it.

Seeing how convinced she was every time, it would probably be really hard for her to believe this.

Alas, if it weren’t for Professor Lu’s strictness during class, they wouldn’t have even had the chance to use their phones, otherwise, they would have taken a video to show Lu Mian her own “devilish” side.

“What’s wrong with me getting drunk?” Lu Mian asked with a smile tugging at the corner of her mouth, quite sincerely, “Did I snore?”

“…”

But before the brothers could reply, they were interrupted by a timid and weak “Mianmian”.

All three of them looked towards the back door, where a clean-cut shy girl was standing, blinking at them.

Lu Mian’s smile then turned warmer.

She suavely dropped her pen, pushed back her chair, and sauntered over to Sui Yuan.

The brothers touched their chins: indeed, in Lu Mian’s heart, Sister Yuan always came first.

Lu Mian walked downstairs with Sui Yuan, intending to escort her back to the senior high section.

“Why come over in person? A text would have sufficed.”

Sui Yuan muttered softly, “I know, but you were sick yesterday, so I wanted to see for myself. Why didn’t you rest a bit longer? Why come to class so early?”

Lu Mian casually ruffled the hair on her little bald head. Oh my, her hair had grown a bit, not as prickly as before. And it was nice too, dark and healthy.

After listening to her fuss, Lu Mian who was walking suddenly turned, blowing a breath into Sui Yuan’s ear.

Sui Yuan shivered, then heard her speak with the voice of Cang Xue, both seductive and teasing.

“Because, I missed you…”

Sui Yuan: Ahhhh… This naughty girl is at it again!

Her face turned tomato red and with her head hanging down, she maintained a step’s distance from her, yikes!

Then Lu Mian shamelessly leaned in, innocently asking what was wrong.

Sui Yuan: …Naughty girl!

Sui Yuan quickened her pace and asked while walking, “Mianmian, are you okay now?”

“I’m fine. Don’t I look alright?”

“Then why did you suddenly get sick? I thought before that it was…” She stopped, not continuing further, sneaking a glance at Lu Mian and noticing that when she leaned in, there was a red thread around her neck with something glinting on it.

“You thought what?” Lu Mian blinked her eyes at her.

“Oh, I thought you were being coquettish…” Sui Yuan said nonchalantly before tilting her head and pointing at Lu Mian’s neck, “You didn’t use to wear anything around your neck.”

“This? Director Qimo gave it to me, it’s a red blood cell operation disruptor.” Lu Mian hooked her thumb around the little red cord, pulling a ring out from her fair neck, the ring swayed lightly.

Only then did Sui Yuan see it clearly, the cord held a ring. Neat and simple, without any superfluous decorations, just a dark gold band, but it was set with a tiny black diamond, delicate and emitting a mysterious and expensive luster.

“A ring, huh…” Sui Yuan suddenly snickered, staring at Lu Mian for quite a while, but seeing her stunningly beautiful and cool face showing no unusual expression, she gave up.

The girl who didn’t even understand the significance of a ring.

It further confirmed her belief; Mianmian was indeed hard to pursue.

“By the way, I didn’t see Zero yesterday, so I couldn’t have her bring the gift to you.” Sui Yuan took out a pale blue envelope from her pocket and handed it over.

Lu Mian chuckled as she took the envelope, her long fingers shaking it slightly, pride gleaming in her eyes, “Little Baldy, have you finally gotten round to writing me a love letter?”

“Mianmian! Don’t talk nonsense.” Sui Yuan was nearly stamping her foot, and she reached out to hit her.

Lu Mian knew when to quit, and hopped back three steps, opening the envelope; inside, there was only a small yellow triangle.

“Oh, you want to give this to me?” Lu Mian said, puzzled and confused, as she pulled it out.

“This is a protective charm my mom left for me, my brother and I each have one. Mianmian, I don’t need it anymore, and I hope it can carry my and my mom’s wishes, to protect you and ensure your safety and smooth sailing.”

“I don’t want it.” She knew how important this protective charm was to Sui Yuan. It wasn’t that the charm was so powerful, but because it was something that Yuanyuan’s mom left for her, and she treasured it.

When they were kidnapped before, she had begged for a long time before those people agreed to let her keep this protective charm.

“If you don’t want it, I’ll just throw it away.”

Sui Yuan spoke weakly, but if she said she would do it, she would do it.

Lu Mian had no choice but to treasure the protective charm in her grip.

Even though she didn’t think it would bring any good luck or protection, she still carefully placed it back in the envelope and put it in her pocket.

“I’ll sew a little pouch when I get back so I can carry it with me.” This was a gift from Yuanyuan, her treasure.

So, she would keep it safe for her for now.

“Good!” Little Baldy finally became happy, smiling shyly and cheerfully. “By the way, Mianmian, did Bai Fangfei cause you trouble again last night?”

“Her?” Lu Mian waved her hand dismissively, “It wasn’t much, don’t bother with it.”

“Oh.” Sui Yuan quieted her eyes and said nothing more.

Lu Mian insisted on walking Sui Yuan to the bottom of the high school building before she turned back to return to the junior high section.

Watching her go, Sui Yuan quietly took out her phone and started texting.

At the high platform in the back hill, Xiao Qimo stood with one hand behind him, watching that slender and frail figure leisurely kick small stones on her way back to the junior high section, and he sighed silently.

Why was she so flirtatious with girls, yet so oblivious with him?

Ye Jinwen came over cheerfully, “Qimo, why don’t you try dressing up as a girl?”

He was really looking forward to seeing a lord of cross-dressing!

Or maybe he and Lu Mian could switch roles—ah, he could seriously work with that plot!

Xiao Qimo rewarded him with a genial smile.

Little Yezi drifted away with the breeze.

“Qimo, what are we going to do with this pavilion on the back hill? No one but you can even approach it, let alone touch it. Are you going to take a hammer and shovel and demolish this place yourself?”
