Turning Around and Running into the Big Bad!!!!

"Ah, wouldn't that mean the fans waited for nothing?" Gu Luosheng asked, looking regretful.

Gu Luoxi snorted. "They chose to. They're just a bunch of simps. They're happy to wait as long as I make them."

Gu Luosheng: ...

Look at that. This was the goddess those fans adored.

She kept up such an act in public, but behind the scenes? What a joke.

"Okay, I'll ask your assistant to let everyone know. Go get changed." After watching Gu Luoxi head inside to change, Gu Luosheng flashed a sly smile.

She glanced at her phone.

Well, well. Gu Luoxi's assistant had blocked her ages ago. That meant none of this was her problem.

She wanted to send a message, but the other end wouldn't accept it.

With that thought, Gu Luosheng took a leisurely lap around the room, then walked straight out.

When Gu Luoxi emerged, Gu Luosheng was nowhere to be seen.

"Where is she?" Gu Luoxi muttered with a frown. "She's completely unreliable!"

Gu Luoxi was already furious at the ugly clothes she was wearing. She couldn't be bothered with Gu Luosheng now. All she wanted was to hurry home and change out of them.

Assuming Gu Luosheng had arranged everything, she stepped outside with complete confidence.

But the moment she opened the door, fans surrounded her.

"Goddess Luoxi!"

"Aah, goddess! It's been so long! We missed you so much!"

"Goddess, I want an autographed photo!"

Everyone was buzzing with excitement.

Then... they saw a woman emerge in a garish outfit, her makeup already patchy and smeared.

"Aaaah! Where did that ugly freak come from?" Their delighted cries turned into screams of horror.

Everyone scrambled to throw whatever they were holding at her.

"Where's the goddess we were promised? What the hell is this?"

"OMG! What kind of taste is that? I'm dying! Someone actually wears clothes that ugly? Is she trying to make us laugh ourselves to death?"

"Oh my god, this... her makeup's all smeared. Seriously... who even is she?"

"Hey, ugly! If you're dressed like that, don't come out and scare people, okay? You don't seriously think you look good, do you? Unbelievable."

"I've seen every kind of creature, but this is the first one I've seen that's ugly in such a unique way."

Gu Luoxi was stunned too. Hadn't... these fans already left? Why were they still here?

Gu Luoxi gritted her teeth. Great! That idiot Gu Luosheng had actually screwed her over!

"Guys, hold on. Why... does this person look kind of familiar?"

"Could this... be Luoxi?"

Everyone froze at those words.

"Luoxi? No way. Our Luoxi doesn't have taste that bad."

"How could that possibly be Luoxi?"

The makeup on Gu Luoxi's face had smeared into a complete mess. She couldn't have looked more pathetic.

Panicking, Gu Luoxi tried to squeeze her way out of the crowd.

But as she turned, someone tripped her, sending her sprawling to the ground.

Some people even stepped on her.

"Aaaah! All of you, get away from me!" Gu Luoxi shrieked like a madwoman.

Meanwhile, Gu Luosheng was in a wonderful mood as she hid in a corner and enjoyed the spectacle.

Nice...

Another great show, free of charge.

This had nothing to do with her. Gu Luoxi had brought it on herself. That was what she got for... trying to screw Gu Luosheng over.

After cracking a couple of sunflower seeds, Gu Luosheng tossed the shells into the nearby trash can.

She glanced over and saw that the car she had booked had arrived.

Time to go home.

The car stopped right beside her. Without even looking, Gu Luosheng climbed in.

"Driver, I didn't book a shared ride. Why's someone else here? It's fine, though. You're probably just trying to earn a little extra. I won't give you a bad review. Just drop me off first." As soon as Gu Luosheng got in, she noticed another man sitting inside. His face was turned toward the window, so she could only see his profile.

The driver: ???

Excuse me?

Who was this girl?

The driver was dumbfounded.

When the man in the back seat noticed an unidentified creature beside him, his eyes instantly turned colder.

He had an aversion to women, so he hated having them sit beside him.

It made him physically nauseous.

But... this time, he hadn't had any unusual reaction?

"What's wrong? Why aren't we moving?" Gu Luosheng blinked her big, sparkling eyes.

The man gave a signal. The driver swallowed, received his orders, and sent the car shooting forward.

"Hey, driver, this car seems pretty nice. It's a luxury car, right? Isn't using a car like this for rideshare a bit of a waste?" Gu Luosheng felt the seat.

Real leather...

The driver: ...

Please, for the love of god, stop talking. This man hated chatter more than anything.

"And neither of you seems to like talking..." Gu Luosheng felt as though she'd been rambling forever without getting a single response.

Could it be... everyone in this novel was an introvert?

Was she the only extrovert?

That couldn't be right.

"My name is..." Gu Luosheng was about to introduce herself to liven up the atmosphere, but she only got halfway through.

Bam! The driver slammed on the brakes.

Caught off guard, Gu Luosheng toppled straight toward the man beside her.

Her little face smacked into his chest.

Ow, that hurt.

He definitely had fucking abs!

An eight-pack, at that.

Gu Luosheng liked how he felt under her hands. There was also a crisp, clean scent about him.

Hmm, she couldn't describe it. It was just... a masculine scent.

She loved it.

By now, Gu Luosheng was practically drooling.

Being attracted to handsome men with great bodies was instinctive.

Gu Luosheng didn't see anything wrong with it.

"Are you done feeling me up?" the man asked hoarsely, an indescribable anger in his voice.

Gu Luosheng shook her head.

Of course not! She couldn't get enough!

The next second, the man shoved Gu Luosheng away with considerable force.

With a thud, Gu Luosheng slammed into the car door.

If the door hadn't stopped her, Gu Luosheng felt she would have tumbled out like a Pikachu.

[Ugh, he has no idea how to treat a lady!]

[My foolish host, you actually expect a villain to treat a lady gently? He's Ye Nanshen, the most powerful villain in the entire book! A monster who kills without blinking, who wields absolute power! His word is law throughout Capital City! He's a cold-blooded creature with no feelings, and he almost threw you into a vat of boiling oil! You're going to die... you're on your own!!!]

Before the system even finished speaking, it vanished.

[Holy shit? The big bad! I actually ran into him! Ye Nanshen! Aaaah, this guy could scare me awake even in a dream! Oh my god, how did I end up meeting him? Other people turn a corner and find love. I turn around and find the big bad... If he wanted to kill me, it would be as easy as killing a baby chick. But... nobody told me he was this handsome! My morals are following his looks. Fuck, he actually felt pretty nice. Did I come out ahead here?]
