Join the ServerLin Qing felt somewhat awkward after changing his clothes.
Many students craned their necks, gazing curiously towards the classroom entrance.
All the boys in Class Six were clad in black and white maid outfits. Although tailored to their individual sizes, the inherent differences between male and female physiques inevitably led to various issues when donning women’s attire.
It was much like in television dramas, where a woman disguised as a man would still have a prominently rising chest, instantly revealing her gender.
Consequently, the sight of tall, burly boys in dainty skirts appeared rather jarring.
However, thanks to the strenuous efforts of the costume and makeup artists, and the boys’ willingness to sacrifice their various body hairs, the overall effect wasn’t entirely an eyesore.
Yet, while most of the boys were merely passable, Lin Qing, who was exceptionally suited for female attire, stood out in a unique and captivating way.
His arms were slender, and his legs long and graceful.
Due to his naturally lean physique, Lin Qing wore the dress with not a hint of incongruity.
Instead, he exuded an air of delicate charm, making him seem utterly endearing.
This presented a stark contrast to the muscular maid, Liu Hong.
As the gazes of the crowd grew increasingly fervent, Lin Qing uncomfortably reached up, tugging at the black lace hem of his skirt.
Bells at his waist chimed sweetly with every movement.
His long legs, encased in white stockings, appeared even more innocent and pure.
He projected an alluring aura of feigned resistance, making onlookers yearn for another glance.
It was utterly captivating, almost addictive!
“Oh? Lin Qing, you cut your hair!”
While students in the class marveled at how naturally Lin Qing wore the maid outfit, one person’s attention fixated on his face, exclaiming in utter surprise.
Upon hearing that Lin Qing had cut his hair, everyone’s gaze collectively swiveled towards his face.
As a transfer student, Lin Qing had been there for quite some time, his long hair consistently obscuring his face like a black mask, completely concealing his features.
Only his slightly pointed chin was occasionally visible; nothing else could be discerned.
Consequently, many were curious about Lin Qing’s appearance, yet even the school possessed no frontal photos of him.
This seemed rather peculiar, as no matter how special Lin Qing might be, it was strange for a school to lack a proper ID photo of his face.
All they had were pictures with his long hair covering his face.
For any social activities, participation would be impossible without a clear photograph.
However, when someone curiously inquired with the homeroom teacher, the teacher stammered, offering no detailed explanation.
Ultimately, they simply stated that this was an arrangement approved by the school leadership and required no further discussion.
Perhaps seeing the students’ burgeoning curiosity, the homeroom teacher then added that the reason for Lin Qing’s hair covering his face was extraordinary.
Both from the school’s perspective and their personal one as a teacher, they hoped the students would not pursue the matter further.
In response, the curious students could only relent, not wishing to defy their homeroom teacher.
They had originally believed they would never see Lin Qing’s face until graduation, yet unexpectedly, they were fortunate enough to fulfill that long-held wish today.
Those who had been curious about Lin Qing’s appearance now gazed towards the classroom entrance, faces alight with excitement.
Then, their hopes plummeted.
“This is called cutting his hair? The one who just spoke, do you have some misunderstanding about what a haircut is!”
“Well, it *is* a haircut, I suppose! After all, it went from long hair covering his face to long hair covering his eyes.”
“Still, I have to say, even though we can’t see his eyes, Lin Qing’s features are incredibly delicate!”
“This ‘half-hidden face’ allure makes me want to rush over, push his hair aside, and discover the full truth.”
After witnessing Lin Qing’s bangs perfectly obscure his eyes, while it fell short of revealing his entire face as they’d imagined, it was still a considerable change.
At the very least, it wasn’t as utterly bizarre as before, when his long hair had completely hidden his face, making him a magnet for attention.
He had transformed from an extreme visual kei style to merely a standard one.
As everyone was scrutinizing Lin Qing, he himself suddenly felt a pang of regret.
After changing into his clothes in the dressing room, he hadn’t intended to wear makeup like the others, precisely because his long hair already covered his face.
He felt simply donning the women’s attire would suffice.
However, the makeup artist had seized Lin Qing, refusing to let go, demonstrating an exceptionally professional demeanor.
Several assistants then swarmed him, pushing Lin Qing directly into the adjacent makeup room. Before applying any makeup, they first trimmed his troublesome hair.
Had Lin Qing not vehemently insisted against cutting it too short, the makeup artist likely would have attempted to apply makeup to a bald head.
Nevertheless, having revealed his face to Su Yao on several occasions, Lin Qing hadn’t felt much resistance to this.
He harbored no aversion towards his own face.
Keeping his hair over his eyes was merely to avoid encountering mirrors or reflective surfaces, as he wished to avoid seeing the treacherous, sinister smile of the Balance behind him.
Now, however, becoming the sudden focal point of everyone’s attention made Lin Qing quite uncomfortable.
“What the hell, Lin Qing, why did you cut your hair?! It was perfectly fine before, why would you cut it!”
As the crowd buzzed with chatter, Liu Hong, who had been momentarily stunned by Lin Qing’s haircut, finally snapped back to reality. He spoke, his voice tinged with urgency.
Though Liu Hong wished to be close friends with Lin Qing, the kind of inseparable buddies, he hadn’t forgotten Lin Qing’s loss of control at the slaughterhouse.
While the reason remained unknown, it was undoubtedly extraordinary.
Now, with his hair suddenly cut, there was a terrible risk of accidentally triggering something.
Beyond that, another reason was simply that Lin Qing was too handsome.
While Lin Qing didn’t possess a ruggedly masculine appearance, current female preferences had shifted. They now favored delicate, charming features, deeming such individuals “senior brothers.”
Lin Qing’s looks perfectly fit this description.
Liu Ying was already madly infatuated with Lin Qing; seeing his full face would only make her utterly devoted to him, ignoring all other potential suitors.
Moreover, other girls, upon seeing Lin Qing’s face, would surely chase after him, drastically reducing the time he and Liu Hong could spend together.
‘No! Absolutely not!’
“Brother Liu, what do you mean ‘fine’? Lin Qing looks so much better now. His old look was far too unconventional.”
“Exactly, I think this is great too. Although it would be even better if he cut off the remaining obstructive hair, we can’t ask for too much all at once. Let’s take it step by step!”
As Liu Hong’s thoughts grew increasingly sour, Zhou Lin and Wang Jian, who had been teasing him about his maid outfit, paused their laughter. They then offered their objective opinions.
However, upon seeing Liu Hong’s chest muscles visibly heave with emotion, both of them once again collapsed in uncontrollable laughter.
‘Brother Liu’s maid outfit is simply divine!’
“Lin Qing looks excellent as he is now.”
Just as Liu Hong was fuming, ready to tear his subordinates apart, Su Yao, who had been sitting silently, suddenly rose. She stepped forward, walking directly towards Lin Qing.
As she spoke, Su Yao gazed at Lin Qing, her dark eyes brimming with satisfaction.
She had initially been troubled by Lin Qing’s long hair obscuring his expressions, never imagining that the themed activities for this school festival would prove so helpful.
Though his eyes remained hidden, she could finally discern Lin Qing’s expressions.
This was a significant improvement.
The staff hired for this event would have their compensation directly multiplied tenfold.
They had performed admirably.
“My beautiful lady, your arrival illuminates our humble abode. Please allow me to escort you inside.”
Su Yao stopped before Lin Qing. Dressed in men’s attire, she appeared incredibly handsome, particularly as she bowed and extended a hand, performing a foreign noble’s salute with utmost grace.
This gesture made the students in the class cover their mouths in excited gasps, their eyes sparkling. They hadn’t realized Su Yao was so formidable!
Even disguised as a man, she was utterly flawless.
Su Yao was inherently a stunning beauty, and now, impersonating a man, she was a breathtakingly handsome gentleman.
‘The heavens are truly unfair when shaping people!’
After witnessing Su Yao’s formal bow, Lin Qing froze, then suddenly realized the awkwardness that had plagued him had miraculously vanished.
It was simply because of what Su Yao had said.
She had declared that he looked “very good now.”
Meeting Su Yao’s smiling gaze, Lin Qing’s lips subtly curved upwards. Without any hesitation, he reached out and placed his hand over Su Yao’s white-gloved palm.
He clasped her hand firmly.
Feeling Lin Qing’s touch, Su Yao smiled, then gently squeezed his hand in return.
‘He should rely on her as much as possible!’
‘Because once he grew accustomed to her, he would be unable to leave her.’
‘Could she leave Lin Qing?’
‘No, it was a reciprocal bond; Lin Qing could not leave her.’
The hunting game had gradually shifted in nature. After shedding its cruelty, it had unexpectedly gained a touch of sweetness.
This feeling was rather pleasant.
She didn’t dislike it.

“Damn these rich people, actually using such expensive materials for clothes. Su Yao never misses an opportunity to show off!”
In the girls’ changing room, because Liu Ying had arrived late, the rest of the class had already changed and were awaiting the bell for the first class, signaling the official start of the school festival.
Thus, she was alone in the changing room, gripping the clothes in her hands tightly, leaving several creases.
Due to her previous ‘transactions’ for money, Liu Ying had acquired numerous designer clothes, including several luxury brands. She was no longer the naive Liu Ying who knew nothing of such things.
Now, examining the fabric of the costume in her hands, she immediately recognized its exorbitant cost.
It even featured gold thread embroidery.
The more she looked, the angrier she became.
Liu Ying instinctively raised her hand, wanting to toss the outfit away. However, the thought of needing to see Lin Qing made her hesitate, unable to throw it.
Finally, she retracted her hand in frustration, preparing to change quickly.
The school festival was about to begin; she couldn’t afford to waste time.
She also needed to use the ‘obedience potion’!
With these thoughts, Liu Ying promptly opened the locker corresponding to her student number. She intended to put away her changed clothes and don the men’s attire she held.
However, Liu Ying simply tossed the binder aside, having no intention of restricting herself.
Her chest was not small; why should she hide it? Instead, she ought to flaunt it.
She would mesmerize those stinking men, making their eyes fixated solely on her.
Thinking of those lecherous men, Liu Ying sneered. She still preferred Lin Qing, who had rejected her, finding it no wonder he had caught the attention of a woman like Su Yao.
‘Unfortunately, I didn’t run into him this morning…’
“What is this?”
Just as Liu Ying was eager to see Lin Qing, having just taken off her jacket, she looked up and noticed a note tucked inside the locker. She immediately reached for it, her brow furrowed in confusion.
