Chapter 90: The Violent School Flower
The next day, it was almost noon when Xu Xiaofeng and Xu Xiaoyue finally rolled out of bed like sleepy sloths.
I mean, why bother with morning and evening classes anyway?
Most students came to class just to prove they hadn’t been abducted by aliens.
But Xu Xiaoyue had other plans. She quickly dragged her brother over and started on a hair makeover.
This was a promise from yesterday, and Xu Xiaofeng found herself powerless, letting her sister have her fun.
“Brother, your hair is too beautiful not to style!”
“Ohhh…”
“I’ll get you a shampoo and conditioner set to use from now on!”
“Ohhh…”
Xu Xiaoyue noticed her brother was about as focused as a cat in a laser pointer convention, so she grinned mischievously. “How about a little makeup too?”
“Ohhh…”
Perfect! Time to unleash the makeover magic!
Xu Xiaoyue got to work, while Xu Xiaofeng’s mind was in a haze.
Something felt off, but she couldn’t put her finger on it. It was like she was stuck in a quantum superposition of right and wrong—classic Schrodinger’s cat dilemma!
Just like the NPCs in a game, she saw the Outsiders behaving strangely but felt nothing was wrong. Just a sprinkle of doubt now and then.
Maybe that Sister Tong had something to say about this? With her being half an NPC too, it made perfect sense!
Xu Xiaofeng sat deep in thought, contemplating for ages but arriving at no conclusion, until her sister gave her a playful nudge.
“Done! Bro, check it out. Do you like it?”
Xu Xiaofeng glanced at the mirror.
Staring back at her was a girl with golden twin ponytails cascading behind her, perfectly trimmed bangs framing her face, and her painted eyebrows accentuating her features.
With delicate makeup and a hint of lipstick, she looked like an absolute stunner.
The only downside? A bit on the flat side in the bust department. But hey, that might be a plus for some folks!
But wait!
This IS me!!!
“Xu Xiaoyue!!! What in the world did you do to me?!”
“Hey hey, calm down, you’re breaking the sound barrier!”
“What… what are you planning? We still have to go to school!”
Xu Xiaoyue chuckled, “I just want to go to school!”
“You want me to go to school looking like THIS?!”
“Yup! Is there a problem?”
“There’s…”
Xu Xiaofeng initially wanted to respond emphatically, but then thought again and faced a dilemma.
Hmm? Is there a problem?
I have long hair, I’m in girl’s clothes, and a bit of makeup doesn’t seem like a big deal, right?
Where’s the problem here? I’ve been getting through life like this for years, haven’t I?
“Really… no problem?”
Xu Xiaoyue had all sorts of plans ready to drag her brother out, but the instant she heard this, she burst out laughing.
“Absolutely no problem!” She gave a thumbs up, “Just trust me on this. You can step outside and ask any random passerby—nobody would say there’s a problem at all!”
“If you still don’t believe me, just look around; everyone here will tell you the same.”
Hearing her sister’s rock-solid assurance, Xu Xiaofeng nodded suspiciously. “Okay… let me think about it. I’ll go get lunch ready.”
Just as Xu Xiaofeng stood up, her sister pushed her back down.
“No need, Bro! I got this.”
Xu Xiaofeng squinted at her sibling. “When did you become the proactive one?”
“Ugh, you really don’t get me, do you? I’ve always been proactive!” Xu Xiaoyue adjusted her brother’s hair like a proud stylist. “Alright. You stay here and admire yourself in the mirror. It looks amazing!”
“Sure…”
Once Xu Xiaoyue left, Xu Xiaofeng rested her chin in her hands, looking at herself in the mirror. Then she nodded, “Yeah, I look pretty good.”
After finishing lunch, the duo headed to school.
All the way there, heads were turning at a remarkable rate of two hundred percent.
But nobody dared to approach for a WeChat add because their styles were just too obvious.
One was the ice queen, while the other radiated quirky, anime-chic vibes.
If someone dared to say hi, one would just brush them off, while the other might roast them a bit. How embarrassing!
In reality, they were overthinking it.
Xu Xiaoyue was indeed aloof, but Xu Xiaofeng? No way she was a tsundere!
It seemed… she wasn’t being mean at all. In fact, she’d politely interject, “Thanks, but I’m a guy.”
They arrived early and entered an empty classroom.
They picked a cozy spot at the back, scrolling through their phones with minimal chit-chat.
As the classroom filled up, some students glanced at the two in the corner.
One of them was Xu Xiaoyue, who everyone knew, but the other one? Who were they?
“Yueyue, who’s this classmate?”
Xu Xiaoyue looked up at her roommate. “You can ask her yourself.”
Xu Xiaofeng finally glanced up, then buried her face back in her phone.
But that quick look was enough for classmates to recognize her.
“Wait… she looks familiar…”
Someone suddenly had a lightbulb moment. “Isn’t she our school’s flower?!”
“School flower? What school flower?”
Then a group of familiar voices chimed in at the door.
It was those three clowns.
As soon as they walked in, they locked eyes with Xu Xiaofeng.
“Wow!!! She’s in school flower mode today! And it’s the 3.0 plus wig upgrade!”
Seriously?! Xu Xiaofeng’s fists were about to harden!
Why shout like that?
“Zhao Bowen, come here.”
“What’s up?”
“Come closer, I need to tell you a secret.” Xu Xiaofeng waved him over.
Zhao Bowen cautiously approached, while the other two smartly stepped back.
“What’s up, Little Wind?”
Zhao Bowen leaned in and lowered his voice like he was too clever for his own good.
But this “cleverness” came a bit too late.
“Nothing much, just felt like you deserved a little reward.”
With that, Xu Xiaofeng grabbed his hand and started to apply some serious pressure.
“Ouch! Hey! That hurts!”
“Ah, you know about pain, huh?” Xu Xiaofeng tightened her grip and twisted his hand. “Did you know it’s really rude to just assume someone’s wearing a wig?”
“Ow!!! Let go! Is that what you were upset about?!”
“What else?”
Xu Xiaofeng rotated his wrist another way, putting Zhao Bowen in a semi-kneeling position, leaning back as if about to go out of style.
“Little Wind! Let go! How do you have so much strength?!”
“I’m sorry! I really am! I’m gonna lose it!”
After letting Zhao Bowen wail for another half a minute, Xu Xiaofeng finally released him.
“Next time, try not to shout so loudly. My ears are still ringing.”
“Right, right!”
The rest of the class watched the whole scene unfold, collectively gasping.
Whoa—what a violent school flower!
