Perhaps because of the season, the arriving wind already carried a slight chill, yet it was exceptionally pleasant. With the stifling heat gone, everyone's mood broadened considerably, and the previous sense of urgency had vanished.
The group struggled toward the office building at the center of the academy while surrounded by countless younger schoolmates. Along the way, several of them nearly fell victim to wandering hands. The younger girls' enthusiasm was far too uninhibited, making everyone wonder for a moment whether they had truly grown old and fallen out of touch with the times.
Finally, through everyone's efforts, they managed to escape the clutches of that pack of female hooligans.
There was nothing they could do. They could hardly get rough with their own younger schoolmates, so they could only indulge them...
After painstakingly shutting the office building's heavy crystal doors, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at their now-wrinkled clothes, they exchanged glances before bursting into laughter.
"Ayu, where did that lipstick mark on your face come from? Pfft, what exactly did you go through...?"
Covering her mouth as she snickered, Gu Qingbo pointed at the conspicuous red lipstick mark on Shen Liuyu's smooth cheek, her expression brimming with undisguised curiosity.
Shen Liuyu's expression stiffened. She swiftly pulled a small mirror from her storage Soul Tool. Her stunning face was reflected in its surface, but that red lipstick mark seemed to lend it an extra touch of allure.
"Why are all these younger schoolmates so outrageous these days? They have no shame at all..."
Shen Liuyu clenched her fist, then hurriedly wiped away the vivid lipstick mark.
"Though I knew the few of us were famous, I really didn't expect them to be this enthusiastic..."
After pausing, Shen Liuyu still seemed somewhat indignant as she continued.
