The Unexpected Encounter

Chen Ran spotted Duanmu Hui standing at the classroom door, her gaze fixed on him and Jiang Lengleng.

She paused for a few seconds, then walked in with a cold expression.

The classroom, already chaotic due to Jiang Lengleng’s arrival, became even more lively with the unexpected presence of Duanmu Hui, the celebrity, on a Saturday.

The chatter was relentless, and it drew even more attention to Chen Ran and Jiang Lengleng.

Chen Ran watched as Duanmu Hui, surrounded by a crowd of admirers, effortlessly handled various topics with a charming smile.

He felt a strange sense of distance from her.

‘She’s a celebrity, Chen Ran!’ Jiang Lengleng, who also recognized Duanmu Hui, the national idol, said with relief, as the attention was now off them.

‘She’s in your class?! My sister Jiang Zilin loves watching her dramas. Can you get us an autograph?’

‘Um…’ Chen Ran was at a loss for words.

After lunch, Chen Ran watched as Jiang Lengleng hurried out of the classroom, while Duanmu Hui took her seat in front of him, seemingly planning to stay for the afternoon classes.

Something felt off.

And soon, something strange happened.

Duanmu Hui stood up, claiming to feel unwell and needing to go to the nurse’s office. The teacher immediately allowed it.

A few minutes later, Chen Ran received a message from Duanmu Hui.

‘Come out now.’

She sounded urgent.

Chen Ran felt it was necessary to clear things up with this national idol face to face.

After a moment of thought, he stood up and asked the teacher to use the restroom—permission was granted without hesitation.

Chen Ran didn’t mind skipping class; he usually slept through classes and could review the material at home.

As he left the classroom, he wondered if he should go to the nurse’s office.

His mind raced with various scenarios, especially since going to the nurse’s office with a girlfriend could lead to…

But Duanmu Hui hadn’t actually gone to the nurse’s office. The office was occupied by other students and a teacher dressed in a white coat over a low-cut top and black stockings.

Instead, Duanmu Hui directed Chen Ran to a dance studio on the top floor of the school building.

Saint Hua Tian Shi Academy, being an all-girls high school, had numerous dance and music rooms. However, it was not yet three o’clock, the usual time for club activities, so the rooms were mostly empty.

Following Duanmu Hui’s directions, Chen Ran took about ten minutes to find the dance studio at the end of the top floor.

Inside the spacious dance studio, he saw Duanmu Hui alone, dancing. Her soft footsteps echoed on the clean wooden floor.

The late September sunlight streamed through the skylight, bathing her in a shimmering golden glow.

The walls, made entirely of glass mirrors, reflected Duanmu Hui’s image. She had changed into a flesh-colored, almost sheer leotard that left little to the imagination.

Her flawless skin seemed even paler against the tight fabric, and her curves were accentuated, making it impossible to look away.

Her long legs and slim waist were perfectly highlighted by the form-fitting outfit.

Duanmu Hui, hearing the door open, turned to look at Chen Ran and stopped dancing.

She walked straight toward him, her black hair with a hint of red tied back in a neat ponytail.

Despite her lack of makeup, her face, slightly damp with sweat, was captivating.

Chen Ran had to admit that Duanmu Hui was indeed a once-in-a-thousand-years national beauty.

He expected her to be angry, demanding to know why he had said she was his girlfriend.

Instead, she walked up to him and hugged him tightly without a word.

Her hot body pressed against his, and her hands began to roam his back, even slipping under his uniform.

‘This girl is always thinking about the same thing!’ Chen Ran thought, stunned.

He tried to push her away, but she loosened her grip slightly and warned, ‘Don’t waste my private time.’

‘What?!’ Chen Ran was confused, trying to understand her meaning.

Before he could react, she pushed him down and kissed him deeply, her tongue expertly parting his lips.

After a passionate kiss, she knelt down and began to…

Her beautiful face was pressed against his abdomen, her hands gripping his waist tightly, as if afraid he would run away.

Chen Ran’s legs went weak, and he felt a strange sensation.

‘Can’t we just talk?’ Chen Ran thought, exasperated.

He had never heard of a girlfriend who behaved like this.

In a daze, Chen Ran thought he saw a tail, like a small whip with a heart-shaped tip, growing from Duanmu Hui’s back.

He rubbed his eyes, unsure if he was seeing things.

As his legs gave way, Duanmu Hui’s face swelled with a look of extreme satisfaction.

Chen Ran was even more convinced that there was something not right about Duanmu Hui.
