The Alluring Ruobing

Having bid farewell to the Guard Squad, Lan Ruobing followed the volunteer girl to process her new identification card and register her awakened ability information.

Twenty minutes later, Lan Ruobing emerged from the office building, taking out her new identification card for another look.

The card listed:

Lan Ruobing

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Strength: Tier 4

Ability: Water

Origin: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Date of Birth: XXXXXXXXXXXX

…

In Huaxia, after everyone awakens an ability, they can re-apply for an identification card, overwriting their past identity information.

Lan Ruobing had used this opportunity to change her name.

Her age, however, could not be altered, as it was determined by bone age testing, which placed her at eighteen.

‘Now, I am a completely new person,’ she thought. ‘It’s time to start a new life.’

She looked up, glancing around.

‘Where should I go now?’

Her stomach rumbled loudly.

“Hmm, I should probably eat first,” she murmured, turning her steps towards the restaurant.

Upon entering the restaurant, she noticed numerous gazes falling upon her.

Fortunately, she had grown accustomed to the attention during her journey here.

Her eyes quickly scanned the room, settling on the ‘Special Supply for Ability Examinees’ window.

This was a free window specifically for ability examinees.

She had previously pretended to be one, sneaking in a few meals.

She still remembered the delicious, fragrant fish and generous portions of meat.

However, the queue was quite long.

Observing the snaking line that stretched all the way to the entrance, she rubbed her stomach, a hint of despair creeping into her heart.

‘Would anyone let her cut in line, simply because she was so beautiful?’

Shaking her head, she quickly dismissed the thought.

That would incur a favor, and with so many people watching, it would create a bad impression.

‘Alas, being too beautiful is also a source of distress,’ she mused. ‘I hope it moves quickly.’

With that thought, she picked up a tray and dutifully joined the very end of the line, almost standing at the restaurant’s entrance.

As her mood hit rock bottom, the young man in front of her sniffed the air, catching her scent.

He then turned, staring at her blankly for a moment.

His expression was as if he had just encountered his first love.

“…” Lan Ruobing’s lips twitched. ‘This person must be a pervert.’

Then, to her astonishment, the young man stepped aside, moving directly behind her.

‘What a kind person,’ she thought. ‘Indeed, there are benefits to being beautiful.’

She happily advanced one spot.

The next second, the click of a camera sounded from behind her, and she could feel gazes brazenly sweeping over her.

“…” ‘He really is a pervert,’ she concluded.

To her surprise, this scenario played out repeatedly.

People who couldn’t see her from the front would deliberately circle around to get a better look from behind.

A few mischievous girls even took several front-facing photos of her, then moved to the back for more shots.

Of course, some boys attempted the same, but her sharp glare quickly deterred them.

In just a few minutes, the serving window became completely empty.

“…” A wave of desolation washed over Lan Ruobing’s heart. ‘Being beautiful is also a helplessness for me.’

She sighed internally, a long, drawn-out breath, before finally shaking her head and handing her tray to the auntie serving the food.

“Auntie, I’ll have this, this, that, and that…”

Her eyes sparkled.

Clang, clang, clang! Lan Ruobing’s tray was quickly piled high, the food heaped up like a small mountain.

“…” Lan Ruobing gave a dry laugh. “Auntie, isn’t that a bit too much?”

“No, no, girls should eat more to grow strong!” the auntie said with a wide grin, her eyes shining with maternal affection.

Lan Ruobing’s lips twitched. ‘That’s for boys, isn’t it? She really thinks I’m a bottomless pit.’

However, out of politeness and respect, she didn’t argue.

She simply thanked the auntie, intending to eat a few bites and discard the rest.

Thirty minutes later.

“…” Lan Ruobing stared at her completely empty tray, lost in thought. ‘This stomach is like a bottomless pit.’

She had eaten very modestly, yet the food had vanished after only a few bites.

She was still so hungry.

She glanced at the serving window, then at the people around her who occasionally stole glances.

Lan Ruobing sighed, looking at her empty plate.

‘One more plate probably wouldn’t be enough, but several more would definitely make me look like a merciless glutton in everyone’s eyes.’

‘What should I do? I’m so hungry. I really want to eat the plate itself!’

“Hello, classmate, may I sit beside you?” Just as despair set in, a familiar voice, clear and melodious like a mountain stream, suddenly spoke beside her.

Lan Ruobing froze.

She turned her head, meeting a pair of shimmering, ink-dark eyes.

They were just as she remembered, radiating gentleness and brimming with affection.

Bathed in warm light, the girl’s lips seemed to drip with color as she offered a tender smile.

It was so soft, so warm, as if it could melt one’s entire body and soul.

Lan Ruobing was utterly captivated.

That was the smile she yearned for, the girl she thought of day and night.

It was the smile she’d receive when caught peeking, the youthful memory she, as a boy, had relived countless times under the covers.

Yes, she dreamt of it every day.

Every night, they met in her dreams.

In those dreams, the girl would loudly confess her love in front of the entire class.

After school, she would return to her rented room with Lan Nuo, where they would snuggle into the warm covers.

And with him, who once had a male appendage, they would spend a wonderful night in their small, cozy bed.

“Classmate? Classmate?!” The girl’s voice called out again.

Her vision refocused, and Lan Ruobing snapped back to reality.

She looked at Xi Xue’s smiling face, quickly averted her gaze, and said with a slight tremor in her voice, “Y-yes, of course.”

Her face felt incredibly hot. ‘I was actually thinking of lewd things.’

The fragrant body beside her gently sat down, and the sweet scent enveloped her.

Lan Ruobing’s face grew even hotter.

‘So close.’

Her heart thumped rapidly, so fast it made her feel flustered. ‘So hot.’

She could feel the girl’s warmth, even her warm breath.

After sitting down, Xi Xue swallowed, suppressing the yearning in her heart.

Just the aroma in the restaurant had made her salivate, her fangs lengthening slightly.

The girl’s stunning beauty when she looked up, those captivating, dewy eyes beneath deep blue lashes, had utterly ensnared her gaze, making it impossible to look away.

She was too beautiful, clearly transformed, far more stunning than in the videos.

Desire had surged instantly.

Fortunately, she had regained her composure in time, avoiding too great a loss of self-control.

However, what surprised her was that the girl had stared at her blankly for a good while, with eyes like a first love.

It made her heart skip several beats, almost causing her to lose her composure.

‘This is just a little succubus, appealing to both men and women.’

She silently made her judgment, then turned to see the girl’s crimson face, ripe as if begging to be bitten.

Curled up, hands clasped, she looked like a docile bunny, delicate and frail, constantly exuding an alluring invitation to be pounced upon.

Gulp! Unconsciously, Xi Xue swallowed, secretly patting her furiously beating heart. ‘My heart is racing.’

‘How could this be? She’s so captivating; even I, a woman, was almost swayed.’

She marveled, taking a deep breath to suppress the desire in her heart.

She tried her best to offer a professionally gentle smile, saying, “Hello, my name is Xi Xue. What’s yours?”

“I-I’m called……” Lan Ruobing felt dizzy, her face flushing crimson to her ears.

It took a great effort to say, “Lan, Lan Ruobing.”

‘She’s, she’s breathing on my ear? My ear is so hot.’
