Chapter 353: She Looks Enchanting Like a Witch, Instead of a Chivalrous Female Warrior
Murong You left the room as Zi Yi had to change her clothes.
After Zi Yi changed into the costume, she stood before the mirror and checked herself out. The young lady reflected in the mirror had red lips and white teeth, and her beautiful face appeared particularly stunning due to the bright red clothing she wore. With her lips pursed together and a slightly cold gaze, she gave off an image of a killer from ancient times.
Zi Yi furrowed her brows. Why did she suddenly become a killer instead?
It just so happened that her phone placed next to her rang and she walked over to pick it up.
She discovered that the call was from Lu Jingye and her lips curled up. She ended the call and made a video call instead.
Lu Jingye was currently in the car. When he saw the young lady wearing a bright red costume with her hair down, his eyes slightly dimmed.
“Yiyi, what are you wearing?”
Zi Yi fixed her phone so that it stop uprightly and took a step back for him to check her out.
“I’m wearing a female warrior costume. How do I look? Do I look like a chivalrous hero?”
She then checked her surroundings and saw a prop sword placed next to her. She even went over to grab the prop and made some poses.
Lu Jingye’s jawline tightened and his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. His voice had even unconsciously deepened slightly. “There’s still something lacking.”
“I think so too.”
Zi Yi put down the prop and said with a distressed expression, “But I don’t know where the problem lies.”
Lu Jingye looked at her for several seconds and said, “Your hair should not be left hanging on your shoulders.”
Zi Yi’s eyes brightened at his words. “You’re right. How could I have forgotten to tie up my hair.”
She then went to look for something she could use to tie her hair.
Lu Jingye continued to speak as she walked around. “Since it’s a warrior costume, you shouldn’t use hair accessories that have complicated designs… You can just use a piece of ribbon to tie a high ponytail.”
Zi Yi searched around for a while and found a few silver hair clasps.
She asked Lu Jingye, “Will this do?”
Lu Jingye remained silent for several seconds and asked, “Are there any ribbons?”
Zi Yi continued to search around and managed to dig out a red ribbon.
Lu Jingye nodded his head in response. “This will do.”
Zi Yi stood in front of the mirror and tied her hair while Lu Jingye looked at her tying her hair through the video call.
After Zi Yi finished tying up her long hair, the aura she gave off instantly changed.
Before tying her hair, she gave off a s.e.xy and charming image. After her hair was tied up, her charms leaned more towards a heroic image, similar to a chivalrous young lady from ancient times who is unbridled and dared to act on her thoughts.
Lu Jingye’s gaze deepened as he saw her current appearance. He then asked, “What kind of performance are you planning?”
“I’m planning to write some words.”
Zi Yi then told him her plans. “The words I plan to write are rather heroic and so, my attire has to give off a heroic spirit.”
Lu Jingye’s lips slightly curled up as he said, “If that’s the case, I have a suggestion.”
“Hmm?”
“You can wear a mask to add a hint of mysteriousness.”
Zi Yi’s eyes smiled into crescents. “That’s what I thought too!”
Having said that, she grabbed a silver mask from the side and wore it, revealing her delicate and charming red lips. “How do I look?”
“Very beautiful.”
Zi Yi was finally satisfied and she asked, “Ah Jing, are you coming?”
“Yes.”
“Where are you now?”
“I will be there before your performance.”
Zi Yi’s lips curled up. “That’s great. I’ll get a senior to pick you up outside then. You’ll need an invitation to come in.”
“There’s no need, I have one.”
Lu Jingye picked up the invitation letter and waved it before the camera before he put it down and said, “My mother said that you had an early dinner today. After your performance, let’s go and have supper together with my mother.”
“Sounds good.”
Zi Yi and Lu Jingye casually chatted a while more. When knocking sounds could be heard from the door, the two of them ended their video call.
Zi Yi walked over and opened the door.
When the person standing outside saw her appearance, she was instantly stunned on the spot.
“Junior Zi, you…”
Murong You was suddenly speechless and she felt a slight panic deep down in her heart.
She never expected that Zi Yi would look so gorgeous when she wore the bright red female warrior costume.
It was so gorgeous to the extent that it had made her feel a strong sense of crisis.
Just then, footsteps and exclamations could be heard from behind her.
“Junior Zi, you look so gorgeous in this costume.” The one who spoke was Chu Xuan. He looked at Zi Yi with a fervent gaze.
Nangong Yu had come together with him.
There was also unconcealable amazement in Nangong Yu’s eyes. “Junior Zi is the most charming person out of everyone I’ve seen when they wore this bright red costume. You give off a very chivalrous aura.”
Zi Yi wore the mask and closed her lips, without the slightest intention to speak.
“Zi Yi, I feel that you look better without the mask.” Chu Xuan looked at the mask with slight disappointment. He had an urge to take the mask away.
Zi Yi gave him a cold gaze and walked past him.
The three of them followed behind her.
Just then, Nangong Yu said to her, “Junior Zi, your performance is next. The items you asked for have been prepared and you can simply head on stage shortly.”
Zi Yi responded with a hum, but she did not stop walking.
Murong You felt uneasy deep down. She tilted her head and glanced at Nangong Yu. When she saw that his gaze was on Zi Yi, she said, “President, why don’t we go out for a celebration after the performance ends?”
Before Nangong Yu managed to speak, Chu Xuan agreed. “Your suggestion sounds good. Tonight is such a special day and it could be said that we have had a thrilling experience throughout this event. I think we should go out and celebrate.”
Nangong Yu thought for a moment and nodded, “Sure.”
Chu Xuan asked Zi Yi, “Junior Zi, you’re one of the greatest contributors to tonight’s event. You must come with us.”
“I’m not going,” Zi Yi answered straightforwardly.
Chu Xuan tightened his lips and deliberately asked, “Could it be that you’re still concerned about how I sent you drinks and cakes earlier in the day? If that’s the case, I think that I should explain to you. I only…”
Zi Yi suddenly stopped walking and turned to look at him with a cold expression. “No matter your reason, it’s a fact that I have a boyfriend. You’re in the wrong if you do something that would cause my boyfriend to misunderstand.”
Having said that, she continued to walk forward.
Chu Xuan looked at Zi Yi’s back view and slightly narrowed his eyes.
After Zi Yi walked out, everyone in the backstage seemed to have frozen as they stared at her while forgetting to respond.
Zi Yi ignored their gazes and walked to the door near the stage.
After a moment of silence, a wave of voices buzzing immediately exploded.
“Oh heavens, this is Zi Yi, right? Isn’t she too beautiful? Her aura is so~ on point.”
“I feel that I have been conquered by her appearance.”
“The first glance made me feel that she was a female warrior who walked out from an ancient drama.”
“It’s more than that. I feel that she’s a female warrior who just walked out from a battlefield. She’s so cool and handsome!”
“As a female myself, even my heart sped up from her appearance.”
“I remember that no one has been able to wear this costume from the moment it was made. Even when Murong You wore it, it seemed somewhat strange. Yet, Zi Yi dared to wear this! Moreover, the effect she gives off when she wears it is superb. It’s as if the costume was made just for her!”
Murong You tightened her hands when she heard what they said.
“Pft… I think she looks like a witch. How does she even look like a chivalrous female warrior?” Zhang Yuelan sourly muttered. “It’s only because Zi Yi’s appearance is so gaudy that she could wear that costume. It’s not like our Little You, the G.o.ddess recognized by the whole school, who should wear clothes that look flowy and immortal-like.”
