Hero Saves the Beauty!

After chatting with Professor He and completing the formalities, everyone gradually took their leave.

As returning alumni, they still had to go to the main event hall to make donations, which was the most important part of the anniversary celebration.

Those who donated more could have their names engraved on a monument, while those who donated less would still be listed on a paper roster for psychological comfort.

After making his donation, Fang Zhou walked out of the event hall, ready to leave the school.

At a corner, he almost bumped into someone but managed to catch the person just in time.

“Sorry, I didn’t see you. Are you okay…”

Halfway through his sentence, Fang Zhou stopped abruptly.

Standing before him was none other than Chu Xinran!

The girl who always had long, straight black hair and was known as the pure goddess had dyed her hair blonde and put on striking makeup!

However, her makeup wasn’t the kind that made her look like a rebellious girl. Instead, it made her look dazzling, like a flower that no ordinary person could pluck.

The pure and innocent aura that Chu Xinran used to have was completely gone with today’s bold makeup.

Of course, her outfit added to the transformation.

The girl who used to love wearing white or light-colored dresses was now dressed in a millennium spicy girl style, showing off her perfect waist and midriff, highlighting her hot figure.

Especially the denim mini skirt, which made her long, fair legs look even longer and more attractive.

Today’s Chu Xinran was entirely different from her usual self, so hot that it was hard to look away!

Fang Zhou stood there, stunned, and called her name dumbfoundedly.

“Xinran…”

The girl, hearing her name, lifted her eyelids to glance at him.

The bright, lively eyes that used to be filled with Fang Zhou’s image were now devoid of any emotion.

She looked at Fang Zhou indifferently, her face expressionless as she spoke.

“What’s up?”

Fang Zhou, shocked by her transformation, mumbled, “Why did you dye your hair?”

He had known Chu Xinran for so long and had never seen her dye her hair. She used to say she didn’t like dyeing her hair because it damaged the hair quality.

She loved her black hair, which was natural and beautiful.

So why… such a sudden change?

Chu Xinran raised her hand, twirled a strand of her blonde hair between her fingers, and said, “Why? Does it look bad?”

Fang Zhou was at a loss for words. That wasn’t what he meant at all.

“No, it’s beautiful, a different kind of beauty from before.”

The sincerity in his voice seemed to touch Chu Xinran.

Her indifferent eyes finally showed a hint of emotion.

But unfortunately, it wasn’t a smile; it was mockery.

“If I didn’t dye it like this, would you even look at me?”

With that, Chu Xinran walked past Fang Zhou and headed into the event hall, not giving him another glance.

But her words left a significant impact on Fang Zhou.

What did she mean?

Fang Zhou stood there, staring at her departing figure, his mind in a whirl.

Did she dye her hair to get his attention?

And today’s outfit? Was it for the same reason?

Fang Zhou had also noticed that Chu Xinran, who usually disliked heavy makeup, had put on long black eyeliner!

A song popped into his head: “Bad Girl.”

A sense of confusion and helplessness overwhelmed him, like a tornado scattering his thoughts.

Could it be that his blocking and farewell had completely broken Chu Xinran’s heart, changing her entirely?

But she… she should have a bright future, not be like this…

No, Fang Zhou thought he must be overthinking.

She just dyed her hair and changed her makeup; it didn’t mean her behavior and inner self had changed.

Maybe she just wanted a “fresh start” like many girls.

Fang Zhou tried to calm himself down, not losing his ability to think.

Was it really as he thought? He needed to observe more.

His initial plan to leave was immediately shelved.

Fang Zhou decided to stay for the anniversary banquet and find a chance to talk to Chu Xinran.

However, his plan was too idealistic. Things didn’t go as smoothly as he thought.

From noon until 7 PM, he couldn’t find a moment to talk to Chu Xinran alone.

He could only watch her from a distance, interacting with different people, chatting, and laughing.

Fang Zhou thought he might have been overthinking. She seemed quite normal now.

But all the calmness ended when the banquet started, and he saw Chu Xinran sitting with a notorious playboy.

Initially, they maintained a normal social distance, but the man kept getting closer to Chu Xinran, using the excuse of pouring her wine and serving her food to create physical contact.

He even tried to touch her thigh with his dirty hands.

Although Chu Xinran dodged, she still kept a smile on her face, like a good girl in a bad girl’s disguise, not knowing how to refuse.

Fang Zhou’s veins bulged on his forehead, and he finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

He picked up a glass of wine and walked over to their table.

Someone immediately recognized him and invited him for a drink.

“Isn’t this the famous gaming streamer Fang Zhou? Come, let’s have a drink!”

“Such a big streamer, we must give him face!”

“Not to be rude, but you’re a bit late. How about three self-punishment drinks to make up for it?”

Fang Zhou gave a cold smile and said in a deep voice, “A drink is indeed in order.”

“But it should be for this guy who can’t control his hands!”

With that, he lifted his glass and poured the red wine all over the man who had been harassing Chu Xinran!

“Ahhh!”

“Fang Zhou, what are you doing!”

“Damn! This is intense! Hero saves the beauty!”

The action caused an immediate uproar. Not only did the people at the table scream, but those at the neighboring tables also turned to look.

The red liquid flowed down the man’s face, making him jump up in anger, ready to retaliate.

“Who do you think you are!”

Just as the two were about to fight, Chu Xinran stood up.

“Enough, stop arguing!”

“You go clean up, and I’ll pay for your clothes.”

Then she looked at Fang Zhou, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

“Come with me.”
