Amidst the bustling crowd on the road leading to T University, a sight emerged that made everyone who passed by turn their heads and look back.
In their eyes was the image of a female student who looked about seventeen or eighteen and stood about one meter seventy-five tall.
For a female student, this height was exceptionally striking and prominent.
What's more, she was wearing a sailor uniform, her entire being exuding a beautiful youthful vitality as she confidently moved through the crowd.
Despite the many heads that turned, her steps remained light and graceful, each stride causing her top and short skirt to flutter, revealing her slender waist and long, smooth, fair legs.
Her extremely short, boyish haircut, which few could pull off, framed her small, fair, lightly made-up face, revealing a perfect, natural beauty, her skin as lustrous and smooth as jade...! All of it made people drool with desire.
And then there was the pink lollipop that her crimson lips constantly pursed out to "care for" until it was wet...! It goes without saying how much it stirred people's imaginations.
Coupled with that cosplay outfit, it was hard to deny that some people harbored perverse fantasies...
That's right, the female student had indeed just come from a cosplay event for a Japanese anime game character.
But first, because she disliked the changing rooms, and second, because of her preference and confidence, she simply wore the outfit home.
It wasn't the first time she had worn a female outfit out in public. Mu You simply ignored all kinds of gazes from those around her, her steps like a butterfly flitting through flowers, heading towards T University.
But when Mu You was still about two hundred meters from the school gate, a bicycle suddenly appeared on the pedestrian sidewalk, speeding like a bullet towards her.
Mu You herself never imagined someone would be so reckless, so when everyone else dodged, she was a little stunned and stood still.
"Ah, watch out!!"
Passersby instinctively cried out a panicked warning, but by the time it reached Mu You's ears, it was half a beat too slow.
Just when everyone, including the reckless cyclist, thought she would be hit, a strong, firm hand with clearly defined, powerful knuckles decisively reached out, grabbed Mu You's arm, and pulled hard.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two whooshing sounds rang out simultaneously. Mu You was perfectly and flawlessly pulled into someone's embrace, while the cyclist zipped past her and sped into the distance.
As he passed, he naturally left a trail of lingering chaos.
Mu You only had time to hear him shout, "Sorry! I didn't mean to!" before his figure vanished into the crowd on the street.
Unable to settle accounts with the culprit who almost injured her, and with the tragic demise of her lollipop, which she had dropped onto the street in her panic and, of course, couldn't be picked up and eaten anymore, Mu You could only let it go with a mix of frustration and regret.
Only then did she have time to notice the person who had just saved her from danger and was currently inadvertently "eating her tofu."
Mu You magnanimously overlooked the hand that had forcefully bypassed her short, revealing top and pressed firmly against her sensitive waist, and as she looked up at the other person, she didn't forget to say, "Thank you for helping..."
But her words couldn't be fully uttered when she clearly saw the other person's face; everything got stuck in her throat.
The uncomfortable blockage made her eyes widen slightly, but the expression within them was unclear.
Gu Shimin hadn't yet had time to discern the meaning in those eyes when the person in front of him, whose eyelashes were like butterfly wings, gently lowered them, concealing everything.
At the same time, the soft warmth in his hands vanished as the other person gently slipped away.
An inexplicable discomfort seeped into his heart as he sensed the other person's rejection of his touch.
It wasn't because he was handsome and had never experienced being disliked that he felt uncomfortable.
In fact, even he himself found it perplexing, and couldn't understand why the other person regarded him with such disfavor.
"Thank you for saving me."
He watched "her" say this to him in an extremely pleasant yet utterly indifferent voice, as "she" bent down to pick up the piece of lollipop that had fallen onto the road. His eyebrows couldn't help but furrow.
Coupled with "her" bending action, which caused the hem of "her" clothes to ride up, inadvertently revealing a large expanse of smooth, gleaming skin, the discomfort in his heart intensified.
Gu Shi Ming felt an inexplicable urge to pull it down, to cover it completely.
Mu You was unaware of his discomfort.
And even if "she" did know, "she" would only sneer.
Since that first glance, "she" hadn't looked at Gu Shi Ming again.
Mu You calmly wrapped the piece of candy in the wrapper "she" had carefully tucked into "her" skirt pocket, then threw it into the trash can at the street corner.
Having finished everything, Mu You then slightly lowered "her" eyes to glance at the shoes of the man still standing there, indifferently uttering, "I'll be taking my leave now," before coldly walking away.
