Lan Qiuzhu's idea was a good one, but she had clearly overlooked an important problem.
Lan Qiuzhu herself was a very beautiful girl. She was 1.7 meters tall, with a graceful figure and lovely face. On top of that, she wore a crisp white shirt that made the waves beneath it look especially alluring. Her dream of becoming a talent scout was now as good as dead. After circling around, she hadn't found a single promising target—instead, she had become a feast for the eyes of countless male beasts.
Every time she sat down to gather her thoughts, some boy who fancied himself full of personality would come over and hit on her. After that happened a few times, how could she not get annoyed?
There weren't many students on the tenth floor. The reading room also had far more tables than the other floors, so it looked very spacious.
Lan Qiuzhu wasn't holding out much hope anymore. After all, on the floors she'd already visited, she'd had no luck at all besides getting harassed.
"Forget it. Since I'm already at the library, I might as well sit down and read for a while."
She picked a book about painting from the shelves and was just about to find a seat.
Then she paused. "No, if I take a table by myself, won't that give those boys a chance to approach me?" Her mind worked quickly, and she immediately realized that wasn't a good idea.
She looked around and suddenly spotted a girl sitting by a window not far away.
Su Yuan had taken a small table for two, not one of the other six- or eight-person tables. Sitting beside the windowsill, she had a quiet, elegant air about her, like a celestial maiden's sleeves fluttering in the breeze as she sat alone by the window.
Lan Qiuzhu's eyes lit up, and delight immediately filled them. She'd just been worrying about not finding a cute girl who could be the club's centerpiece, and there was a perfect candidate right over there.
Lan Qiuzhu was a woman of action. She tended to do things in a hurry, and when she set her mind on something, she wanted to get it done right away.
So she picked up her shoulder bag, hugged the book to her chest, and headed over to Su Yuan.
At first, Su Yuan had only casually glanced at Lan Qiuzhu, who was sitting across from her. Then she sneaked a few more looks and concluded that the other girl was beautiful.
Sitting across from a beauty naturally made her feel great. She showed no sign of it on the outside, but inside, she was already thoroughly enjoying the warm, pleasant feeling.
The only thing bothering her was that she could no longer focus on the book. Her mind kept flashing back to the beauty's magnificent curves, which she'd glimpsed just moments ago.
This beauty has such a huge chest!
Su Yuan couldn't help licking her lips.
Her own chest was probably an A cup and still growing toward a B. The other girl was at least a C, maybe even a D.
How outrageous!
"Ahem, this isn't the time to be thinking about that." Su Yuan quickly pulled herself away from the strange thought.
She'd been transformed for over two weeks, and she could clearly feel her body changing. Her chest, which had only been slightly raised before, was now starting to look like a little hill. It was still roughly an A cup, but she'd had to start wearing clothes that weren't especially thin.
After all, it was still early autumn, one of the hottest times of the year. Wasn't it torture to be unable to wear light clothes? Fortunately, even the heavens seemed to be helping her. A typhoon that should have passed northeast of the region had instead affected Binhe City. The clouds on its outskirts had brought the temperature down sharply.
Su Yuan knew she was the subject of gossip these days. Her relationship with Xiao Yiyan had drawn a lot of attention, so she had to be extremely careful with everything she did.
Did people really think she went to the library so often just because she'd started to love studying?
Wrong! She was just using it as a place to hide.
She'd come to the library to get away from all the trouble.
By the window, Lan Qiuzhu kept openly sizing up the "beauty" and grew more and more curious about Su Yuan. From what she could tell, the girl across from her had delicate features, a high nose, big eyes, and beautiful skin. She wasn't wearing any makeup, either. She was a completely natural beauty!
That was incredibly rare. With just a little polish, she could become a breathtaking beauty.
And the way she sometimes furrowed her brows and sometimes relaxed them, along with the adorable little glances she'd snuck at Lan Qiuzhu earlier, revealed an innocence that had long since vanished from the world. It deeply stirred Lan Qiuzhu's sense of beauty.
It was like a cat having its favorite spot scratched—she just couldn't get enough!
If there was one flaw, it was probably her unstylish clothes and her less-than-well-developed chest. But overall, the good far outweighed the bad. Lan Qiuzhu praised her in her heart, shouting, If this girl doesn't join my Great Anime Club, it'll be an outrage!
Su Yuan's thoughts were a mess. She'd noticed that the girl across from her had been staring at her the whole time, as if she wanted to swallow her whole.
She was a little worried. Had the other girl seen through her? After all, she was something of a "celebrity" on campus because of the trouble surrounding Xiao Yiyan. The masses of Xiao Yiyan's fans had put her under the spotlight and torn into her, so she could now fairly be called "notorious."
Calling her a pretty boy was practically praise. Less flattering people called her a sissy, a freak, or said she'd seduced an eighty-year-old woman and molested a five-year-old child.
It was simply disgusting!
When Su Yuan first heard those rumors, she'd been so furious that she nearly exploded. Which heartless, shameless person had smeared her like that, making up stories about her? When had she ever seduced an eighty-year-old woman or molested a five-year-old child?
They were practically calling her a pervert!
What annoyed her most was that Instructor Tan had been asking her to come by for "help grading assignments" these past few days and chatting with her while she was there. To anyone who didn't know the truth, it seemed as if he were trying to pull a student teetering on the edge of a cliff back onto the right path, urging her to turn back before it was too late.
In reality, Instructor Tan just wanted to talk with her and give her a bit of counseling.
The reading room on the library's tenth floor.
Lan Qiuzhu's gaze was so clearly purposeful and aggressive that it sent a chill down Su Yuan's back. She looked like an entertainment reporter who'd just uncovered a huge scandal, staring at her with utterly shameless intensity.
"Even though she's beautiful, I'd better stay away from her."
Once Su Yuan had that thought, she started considering an escape. Just then, she felt a swelling pressure in her lower abdomen from needing to pee. It was time to make her getaway.
