Chapter 88: Say It and Do It

Although Bai Ziyu was still young and had room to grow, for the time being, looking from the outside, there was almost no rise and fall visible at all.

Yet earlier, when her own fingers had accidentally brushed against the other girl’s chest, even though there hadn’t been much curve, she had unexpectedly found it very soft.

Luo Yunzhi snapped back to her senses and hurriedly cut off that off-topic thought. She continued walking forward, carrying the other a bit more tightly.

She tugged at the corner of her mouth and spoke:

“You, rather than thinking about those unrealistic things, you’d be better off eating properly and growing up quickly. Right now you’re completely just a child.”

Luo Yunzhi laughed softly. 

“And as a child, just obediently hide behind someone… for example, behind me. If we run into danger, I can protect you.”

Bai Ziyu tilted her head. 

She had to admit the girl was indeed very capable. If they really did encounter danger, she would definitely stick close to her.

But nothing was happening right now.

She still acted stubborn.

“Yes, yes, yes.” 

“I’m really very amazing.”

“Let me tell you… I’m a top expert.” 

The little loli clenched her small fists and waved them a couple of times. 

“A few punches and I could knock out a boxing champion.”

Regarding that statement, Luo Yunzhi of course didn’t believe it. 

Bai Ziyu wanting to knock out a boxing champion? 

Even boys of the same age would almost certainly not be able to beat one. 

But actually there was a chance—after a few punches, that pitiful appearance of hers might just make the opponent faint from cuteness, which could also count as a victory.

So for her own sake, she still didn’t want to keep coaxing a child.

“Talking about romance?” 

The girl changed the subject, putting on a serious expression.

If she spoke that way, as expected, the little loli would definitely get angry. 

Luo Yunzhi lightly coughed and didn’t dare say it.

“We’re not talking about that. Besides, you little kid…”

“Right now, you should actually be going to school. You should be entering the palace of knowledge.” 

Luo Yunzhi said, seeming to truly believe it. But Bai Ziyu was a bit doubtful.

She bit her lip.

“Wasn’t it you who brought up the love letters?”

“Did… did I?”

“You wouldn’t forget, would you?”

“I don’t remember.”

Hearing that answer, the little loli hummed lightly. 

She hadn’t expected the girl would just outright lie. 

“Wow, you only know how to bully the small.”

“I can’t beat you right now, but later on, I’ll definitely teach you a harsh lesson!” 

She simply made a vow, looking completely serious about it.

She didn’t know how much longer the transformation pill’s effects would last. 

Bai Ziyu had already decided that once she turned back into a cat, she would use her claws to scratch the girl’s thigh.

What? It might hurt?

Hurting was exactly the point!

Amid the bickering, even though their pace was slow, by this time they had entered the teaching building. 

And at this moment, they both obediently shut their mouths.

After all, class was still in session. 

If they continued arguing, they would disturb other people’s studying. 

What’s more, the two of them were only casually playing around.

Luo Yunzhi carried the little loli up the steps. When they reached the corridor, Bai Ziyu moved a little, signaling the other to put her down.

Although she said she wasn’t afraid, she still didn’t want to. Bai Ziyu had no doubt that if the girl carried her into the classroom, after class they would definitely become famous throughout the school.

The little loli stepped onto the ground, stomped her feet a couple of times, pulled up the ill-fitting sneakers, then turned her head to look at the girl beside her.

Luo Yunzhi started making herself look ugly again. She used her hands to mess up her hair, adjusted her expression, then put on those thick glasses.

The little loli blinked her eyes and couldn’t help thinking.

Even with just this simple dressing up, the person in front of her was now completely different from before. With this skill, she could completely apply to become a makeup artist.

At this moment, Luo Yunzhi’s outward appearance no longer held any of the pure, attractive beauty of a young girl from earlier. 

She looked completely ordinary.

The hanging strands of hair covered most of her face, and the remaining features were once again mostly hidden by the black-framed glasses.

There was a bit of a sense of déjà vu.

The loli raised her eyes.

This appearance… is just like those transparent students in class who like holding a book, have no presence at all, and would never attract any attention.

Even if her liberal arts grades were good and she ranked at the top every exam in those subjects, once it came to science she would plunge straight into the abyss.

Bai Ziyu observed for a moment and felt it wasn’t perfect enough. 

If a few moles were added to both sides of her cheeks, there would be no flaws left to see at all.

The girl finished these preparations and looked at her.

“What, surprised?” 

Luo Yunzhi smiled and reached out to pat the little loli’s head, her tone carrying a touch of gentleness. 

“I’m different from you. I’m very afraid of attracting people’s attention.”

“Eh? Why?” 

This was a question Bai Ziyu had long wanted to ask.

Clearly, with Luo Yunzhi’s appearance, she hadn’t needed to go through all this effort to dress up before. 

Becoming a celebrity… or being a streamer would also make a lot of money, yet the girl simply didn’t do it.

Had she never thought about it?

“About that…” Luo Yunzhi thought for a moment, then suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. She stared at the little loli and looked her over, finally feeling a bit helpless.

“That’s… because.” In the end the girl still decided to tell the truth. 

“Sister Luo doesn’t want to be discovered by a certain troublesome guy.”

Bai Ziyu was a bit dazed. A troublesome guy? She didn’t remember any such person. 

The previous Su Qi had long since run off to who-knows-where.

That meant she didn’t know them.

“Mm-hmm, that’s how it is.” Seeing that the little loli seemed to half-understand, the girl poked the other’s soft cheek with her finger.

“So that’s why I do this. But you don’t need to be too afraid. Although that person is troublesome, they can’t actually do anything to harm us.”

Luo Yunzhi patiently explained. Seeing that Bai Ziyu still didn’t understand, she said no more and instead took out a hat from the bag.

The little loli froze for a moment and shifted her gaze.

This bag… before leaving, the girl had put something into it. She hadn’t seen clearly at the time, and only now understood what was inside.

The hat was a bit large, and the brim was also very wide. If one looked from the front, it almost completely hid the entire face in shadow.

Bai Ziyu wanted to take it off, then saw Luo Yunzhi press the hat down onto Bai Ziyu’s head. 

She adjusted the hat a little; the other girl’s face could no longer be seen.

“Why?” She was pressed down again.

“Why? You can’t take it off.”

“Is that so?”

The little loli was a bit stunned. Wasn’t this weird outfit even more attention-grabbing? But she quickly figured out the reason.

Because she was actually rather unique in school and it was hard to avoid drawing looks. 

Once she was seen, the girl would definitely be subconsciously noticed as well.

She felt a little helpless, but in the end still didn’t remove the hat. 

She took the other’s hand. “If that troublesome guy shows up…”

The little loli spoke.

“I’ll help you deal with her.”

She was serious.

“Say it and do it.”
