Princess Rescue Plan! Activate!

Shen Ranxin gritted his back teeth viciously. "You managed to pull off a maid outfit, but you can't handle this?"

Lu Zhi looked meek and innocent as he said, "I practiced it especially for Teacher Shen."

Shen Ranxin frowned, feeling that inexplicable scent of alcohol wrap around him again. He immediately shook off Lu Zhi's hand and said coldly, "If you can't do it, go out with your ass bare!"

After saying that, he fled the changing room impatiently.

The guests had more or less finished changing. As members of the warrior team, Fang Yu and Cheng Cheng each carried a greatsword on their backs, looking exceptionally valiant.

Gu Yifei, meanwhile, wore a pink puffy princess dress. A tiny sparkling crown sat atop his flaxen curls, and he was so lovely that not a trace of masculinity showed through. He truly looked like a little princess who had stepped out of a storybook.

"Shen Ranxin, Shen Ranxin!" The little princess skipped over with a small magic wand in hand, then spun around. "Do I look pretty?"

Shen Ranxin nodded. "Pretty."

"Then you have to catch me later!" Gu Yifei said. "Don't catch Lu Zhi. He's an Alpha princess with muscles all over, so he'll definitely be hard to catch! Catch me instead—I'll secretly go easy on you."

Shen Ranxin laughed at that and reached out to pinch his little curls. "Sure."

"Hey, don't mess up my hair." Gu Yifei patted his hand. "It took me forever to do it just now... Forget it. Since it's you, one pinch doesn't matter."

Shen Ranxin said in surprise, "You're being so generous with me?"

"Of course!" Gu Yifei linked his arm through Shen Ranxin's wrist. "In this dating show, I'm the one who treats you best!"

Cheng Cheng walked over, grabbed Gu Yifei's arm, and forcibly pulled his hand away from Shen Ranxin.

Then he revealed a gentle smile. "Why hasn't Lu Zhi, our fellow princess, come out yet? How about you go hurry him along, Gu Yifei?"

Gu Yifei gave him a strange look. "I'm an Omega. How can I enter an Alpha's changing room? If you want to go, go yourself."

Cheng Cheng spoke with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "What's wrong? President Lu is a very high-quality Alpha too. Don't you like him, Gu Yifei?"

"You're so weird. If you like him, go chase him yourself. Why are you telling me this?" The little princess frowned, then quickly tipped up his face to declare his loyalty to Shen Ranxin. "I don't like that bitch at all... No, I mean, I don't like Lu Zhi at all. Don't misunderstand!"

Shen Ranxin nodded. "I know."

After all, whether in the original novel or in this plot that had gone so off the rails it was unrecognizable, Lu Zhi and Gu Yifei had absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Cheng Cheng said, "I'm only thinking of what's best for you. President Lu has such extensive connections in the entertainment industry. If you could get with President Lu, it would be your good fortune."

"Then you can have that good fortune." Gu Yifei snapped back without any politeness. "Do I need to rely on that bitch's resources? You're the one who wants to cling to Lu Zhi, aren't you? Shen Ranxin, he's so annoying. He gives off Daqing Oilfield vibes. Come on, let's go. Don't pay attention to him!"

Cheng Cheng looked up at Shen Ranxin. "Ran, that's not what I meant."

Shen Ranxin patted his shoulder. "I know, I know. If you like Lu Zhi but are too embarrassed to say it, I can help you tell him. Really, we're brothers. I can help you with something this small!"

Cheng Cheng: "..."

A faint, mocking chuckle came from behind them.

Everyone turned around.

President Lu was wearing an extremely proper black cheongsam that exposed only his muscular arms and exquisite collarbones.

His proportions were perfect, and his waist was slender. Yet cinched within the cheongsam, it somehow exuded a sense of strength.

[Ahhhhhhh President Lu, you are my god!]

[Who picked President Lu's outfit? It's so sexy and so gorgeous—the goddess of beauty has descended!]

[You only regret having too few words when you need them. If only I were Lu Zhi. He'll never understand what it feels like to have dirty talk on the tip of your tongue but be unable to say it.]

[Can we even say this? Even though he's in women's clothing, there's not a hint of femininity—nothing but pheromones... President Lu's waist is that slim!]

[Slim, sure, but it really feels powerful. That perfect inverted-triangle physique... You can tell he'd be good at pounding.]

[Teacher, you...]

[Shen Ranxin! Open your eyes and look at our President Lu!! I refuse to believe your eyes are empty!!]

[You brat, you're so lucky.]

Shen Ranxin had not expected Lu Zhi to look like that in the outfit. Back then, the maid dress had made him so flustered that all he wanted was to choose something long enough to cover that area, so he had grabbed a long dress at random. Who would have thought it would be a cheongsam?

Even... even sexier.

Gu Yifei huffed, a little unhappy that Lu Zhi had stolen his spotlight. "Thirsty man!"

Jiang Ye was another evil dragon alongside Shen Ranxin, but his costume was far more exaggerated than Shen Ranxin's.

He had even stuffed his entire body into a black dragon mascot suit, with only his face exposed. When he saw that Shen Ranxin only had a small pair of wings on his back and was otherwise dressed normally, he was somewhat dumbfounded. "Didn't they say we were supposed to pick clothes that fit the character setting?"

Shen Ranxin moved the little wings on his back. "I did."

Wearing the mascot suit, Jiang Ye could barely walk properly. He looked resentfully at Fang Yu in the distance, then toddled over to him in lurching steps.

"Teacher Fang, did you deliberately pick this kind of outfit for me?"

Mischievous laughter filled Fang Yu's peach-blossom eyes. "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good?"

Jiang Ye paused. "I want one like Shen Ranxin's."

"Everyone understands evil dragons differently. In my eyes, you're the cutest little evil dragon!" Fang Yu immediately fed the kid a line. "Put on this mascot suit, and you'll be the most evil dragon-like dragon boy here. You'll be unstoppable."

Jiang Ye fell silent for two seconds before saying, "Teacher Fang, you're lying."

Fang Yu burst out laughing and smacked the little evil dragon on the butt. "Mm, I am lying. So what?"

Jiang Ye frowned. "Why?"

"That's because..." Fang Yu drew the greatsword from behind his back. "You're an evil dragon, and I'm a warrior. We're natural enemies. If you don't dress like this, how am I supposed to rescue the princess from your hands?"

Jiang Ye: "..."

[Hahahahaha, poor Captain Jiang is being played in Teacher Fang's hands.]

[Teacher Fang, how can you bear to treat Captain Jiang like this!]

[Bro put you in his heart, and you kicked bro into a ditch, huh?]

[Teacher Fang is so mean. I've never seen him this mean before. Shen Ranxin must have led him astray!]

Once all the guests were ready, the game quickly began.

Shen Ranxin had to hang from a wire and fly from over twenty meters away into the inflatable castle where the "princesses" were located.

After entering the castle, he had to shoot the princesses with the water gun in his hand. Any princess who was hit would be taken away by the evil dragon.

As Shen Ranxin was being hooked up to the wire, Gu Yifei bounced around inside the inflatable castle with only his head poking out and shouted, "Catch me, catch me!"

Shen Ranxin: "..."

Were princesses supposed to be this eager to be captured?

Just as he was about to slide into the castle, having already raised his water gun and aimed it at the bouncing Gu Yifei—

Princess Lu Zhi, wearing a high-slit cheongsam, kicked Princess Gu Yifei in pink away.

Shen Ranxin: "?"
