Ten minutes later, the food arrived.

After a quick meal in their dormitory, Li Ruo and Xia Qinghe headed together to the auditorium where the welcome party was being held.

As night fell and the lights came on at St. Lia's College, students, dressed smartly, strolled in small groups along the tree-lined path leading to the auditorium.

The stunning appearance of the two beautiful girls, Li Ruo and Xia Qinghe, unsurprisingly attracted everyone's attention.

As Xia Qinghe walked beside Li Ruo, she could clearly feel the focused gazes directed at her.

Being too beautiful can also be a problem.

In this desperate situation, she quickly pulled out a pair of black-rimmed glasses from her pocket and put them on, sealing her stunningly beautiful face behind the glasses.

She recalled her past life when she attended this party for the first time, just like Li Ruo, feeling both nervous and excited, wearing her most beautiful dress. However, she became an exception in Guo Yiling's eyes, needing to be corrected, and thus began six years of nightmarish control.

In this lifetime, she avoided it in advance, sealed away her beauty, and pushed Li Ruo out.

But why... does this dress look so good on Li Ruo? So good that it even made her feel a moment of disbelief?

The female lead's expression looks a bit stiff; is she scared?

[I'd be scared too. After all, in my past life, this tycoon who controlled the city's economic lifeline seemed like a gentleman on the surface, but later he used his superpowers to manipulate the stock market, ruining dozens of companies, sending his opponents, including the female lead, to his private laboratory, and finally turning so dark that he tried to paralyze the world with the financial system.]

What sins did the female lead commit in her past life to be haunted by this madman? Even with tubes inserted all over her body, he couldn't let her go.

Look at the way everyone around us is staring at Li Ruo!

Guo Yiling is definitely already in the auditorium, waiting for the show to begin!

The auditorium entrance was brightly lit, and student council members were checking tickets.

Li Ruo and Xia Qinghe showed their student cards and went inside.

The gala has begun, and a string quartet is being performed on stage.

The lighting in the audience was dim, and drinks and desserts were laid out on the round table.

Li Ruo immediately spotted the table in the center of the front row.

There sat several students whose demeanor was distinctly different.

One of them was wearing a perfectly pressed white shirt, and his dark blue uniform jacket was buttoned all the way up to the top.

The boy sat upright, with a handsome face and a calm, unwavering gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses. He was listening to the person next to him, his head slightly tilted to the side, his fingers tapping the table absently.

The number of comments surged instantly:

[Guo Yiling! The ultimate control freak!]

[He was there! And sitting in the most prominent spot!]

[Is he tapping the table a little too fast? Does he seem to be in a bad mood?]

[How can it be okay? The student council is cracking down on discipline lately, he definitely won't like Li Ruo's outfit!]

Li Ruo withdrew her gaze and followed Xia Qinghe to find a seat towards the back.

Xia Qinghe deliberately chose a less conspicuous spot, but Li Ruo's entrance caused a brief silence in the originally noisy auditorium, and the students in the auditorium frequently turned to look at her.

Even the dancers performing seemed to be momentarily stunned.

Holy crap! All eyes are on us now!

[This effect is amazing! Li Ruo was definitely the most dazzling presence of the night!]

Look at the way those boys are looking at Li Ruo... they're all glued to her!

[The girl's eyes were priceless; they were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.]

[Wait, over there at the student council seats... Guo Yiling has stood up!]

Li Ruo's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on the area reserved for student council members.

She could feel that gaze, through the dim light and noisy voices, falling on her with a cold, precise scrutiny.

That boy is probably Guo Yiling, as mentioned in the comments.

Li Ruo did not avoid his gaze. Instead, she met his gaze, turned her face slightly, and gave him a faint smile.

In the dim light, her berry-colored lips left a faint, ambiguous water stain on the rim of the glass. Her eyes were clear and innocent, creating a fatal contrast with the extremely sexy dress she was wearing.

Guo Yiling stopped tapping her fingers on the table.

Bullet comments:

He saw it!!!

[His fingers stopped! He definitely saw Li Ruo!]

[Li Ruo even smiled at him! What the hell?!]

[Provocation! This is blatant provocation!]

[Control freaks hate disobedience and provocation the most, and Li Ruo embodies both!]

[Oh no, I think Guo Yiling is about to explode.]

Sure enough, the next second, Guo Yiling whispered something to the person next to her, then stood up and walked over to Li Ruo's table.

He walked slowly, but every step he took carried a sense of pressure.

The surrounding students seemed to sense something, their voices gradually lowered, and their eyes followed the student council president's figure.

Xia Qinghe's hands, which were under the table, clenched slightly, her heart pounding.

The fear and shadow in her heart instantly enveloped her.

In her past life, she was wearing a dress of a similar style when Guo Yiling publicly summoned her to the student council office, lectured her for three hours, and severely humiliated her, thus beginning that terrible nightmare in her life.

As Guo Yiling drew closer, Xia Qinghe instinctively wanted to run away, but then realized:

The one now under Guo Yiling's scrutinizing gaze is not her, but Li Ruo.

Fortunately.

Fortunately.

She bit her lip, quickly composed herself, and tugged at Li Ruo's skirt:

"Li Ruo, those look like student council members over there...are they walking this way?"

Xia Qinghe said softly, her tone carrying just the right amount of worry.

"Yes. Probably."

Li Ruo responded lightly, her gaze remaining calm as she looked at the stage, seemingly oblivious to the scorching stare.

The comments section erupted:

[Li Ruo is so calm! She probably thinks she just successfully caught something?]

[It's easy to play the role of a tool, but Guo Yiling's aura is notoriously terrifying!]

[Easy to equip as a support character +1]

Guo Yiling stopped in front of Li Ruo.

He was very tall, blocking some of the light, and the shadow enveloped Li Ruo.

He lowered his head, his sharp gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses sweeping from her thick eyelashes over her bright lips, and finally landing on her bare shoulders, neck, and waistline.

"Second Grade, Class A, Li Ruo?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Li Ruo looked up, her eyes clear. "Did you need something, senior?"

Guo Yiling's gaze slowly moved from her face down to her neck, then to the deep V-neck of her chest, her bare waist, and finally to the layered tulle skirt.

His brows furrowed more and more deeply.

"Do you know the dress code for St. Lia Academy?" he asked.

"I know, the freshman handbook has detailed instructions," Li Ruo replied.

"So,"

Guo Yiling took a step forward, her eyes behind her gold-rimmed glasses becoming even sharper:

Why are you dressed so inappropriately in public?

The air around him seemed to freeze.

Several student council members instinctively took a half step back, afraid of being caught in the president's wrath.

The surroundings were completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone's ears perked up.

Here it comes! The classic admonition from the control freak president!

Xia Qinghe held her breath.

The viewers in the live chat were holding their breath in anticipation.

[Here it comes! Classic lines!]

[This is exactly what Guo Yiling said to Xia Qinghe in his past life!]

How will Li Ruo respond? Will she cry? Will she apologize?

However, Li Ruo's reaction surprised everyone.

She did not bow her head, nor did she panic, nor did she feel ashamed.

She even leaned forward slightly, a movement that made her chest curves more prominent and brought her a little closer to Guo Yiling.

"Inappropriate? What exactly is inappropriate about it?"

"The neckline is too low, the waist is completely exposed, and the skirt is too short and see-through." His voice was even colder than before.

Li Ruo's lips curved slightly into a smile as she tiptoed and whispered in Guo Yiling's ear:

"I'm so sorry, I accidentally let you see my waist and my chest. I'm new here, could you teach me some manners? I'd love to learn~"

She blinked innocently.

Guo Yiling: ...

Xia Qinghe: ? ?

Student Council Officers: !!!

The students in the audience: ? ? ?

Comments: 【!!?????】

What is she saying?!

"You, come with me." Guo Yiling frowned.

coming.

Xia Qinghe's heart raced. She looked at Li Ruo, feigning concern.

"Li Ruo, what's wrong? Did you do something wrong?"

Li Ruo stood up and smiled slightly at Guo Yiling: "Okay, please lead the way."

Guo Yiling continued walking with a blank expression.

Li Ruo turned to Xia Qinghe and said, "Cousin, I'll be right back."

His voice was calm, without the slightest hint of panic.

[Then comes the most terrifying scene!]

She really went! Without even hesitating!

That composure... is incredible!

I think Guo Yiling has really messed up this time!

Li Ruo walked through the student council area and followed Guo Yiling out of the auditorium.

"There's going to be a good show tonight. Where's Zhou Si? How could an event like this be complete without him!"

A student council member asked.

"He said he had a headache and was sleeping in his dorm," a student council member replied.

In a corner of the auditorium, Zhou Si, who had just finished showering and changed into a black casual outfit, leaned lazily against the wall, playing with a lighter in his hand.

He had just come out of his dormitory. He had no interest in this boring welcome party, but somehow he came anyway.

Then, he immediately spotted the figure that had caused him to embarrass himself for the first time that afternoon.

A light purple silk dress accentuated her stunning curves, while her long, chestnut-brown curly hair cascaded to one side, and her berry-colored lips gleamed alluringly under the light.

She was following Guo Yiling backstage to the auditorium.

Zhou Si raised an eyebrow, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"Little one... dressed like that to meet that control freak? You've got some nerve."

-

The spacious and bright office was filled with student union officers and staff.

A huge crowd of third-year boys had gathered to watch the spectacle and see the pretty female students.

Including Thursday afternoons in the cherry blossom grove.

At this moment, Zhou Si slumped in his chair, his charming yet dangerous eyes narrowed as he leisurely observed her.

Guo Yiling sat down at her desk, adopting a businesslike demeanor, and began to look up the school rules and regulations:

Li Ruo sat directly on the desk, completely ignoring the surprised stares from everyone in the room, and leaned to the side, resting her elbow on Zhou Yiling's file folder:

"Didn't the student council president want to correct the junior's attire? Why don't you just tell me exactly what's inappropriate?"

The two were less than half a meter apart.

Guo Yiling could even smell a faint citrus scent on her, mixed with a hint of girlish sweetness.

She turned slightly to the side, allowing the light to better highlight the cut of the dress.

The shadow beneath the deep V-neck, the curve of her slender waist, and the legs peeking out from under the sheer skirt.

Guo Yiling raised her eyes, her Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

His gaze swept uncontrollably over those areas, then forced himself to fix it on her face.

"The neckline is too low, the waist is completely exposed, and the skirt is too short and see-through."

His voice was cold.

"So that's how it is." Li Ruo nodded as if she suddenly understood.

Then, she did something that left everyone speechless.

She raised her hand and gently pressed it against her chest.

It's not about pulling up the neckline.

Instead, she ran her fingers along the edge of the lace at the neckline!

The movement was very light and slow, carrying an unconscious yet alluring quality.

Then, she gently pulled her collar up a little.

However, this action not only failed to cover up, but also made the curves of her chest appear fuller and more alluring due to the squeezing/pressing of her hands.

The barrage of comments exploded instantly:

[! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】

What is she doing?

[Is this a collar pull? This is clearly...]

Guo Yiling's eyes widened in disbelief!

His Adam's apple bobbed again! I saw it!

Guo Yiling's breathing became noticeably erratic.

He subconsciously slid back in his chair, adjusted his glasses, and his voice was somewhat strained:

"What...what do you mean by this?"

"I'm adjusting my attire according to the president's instructions."

Li Ruo tilted her head and blinked, her berry-colored lips slightly pouting, her expression innocent:

"Didn't the president say the neckline was too low? I'll pull it up a bit."

As she spoke, she made a waist-lifting motion.

Slender fingers traced across her bare waist, leaving faint red marks on her skin.

This gesture is more ambiguous and more alluring.

Several student council members nearby were dumbfounded, some even swallowing hard.

Guo Yiling's entire face turned red.

It's not a shy red, but a red intertwined with anger and provoked emotions.

Zhou Si, sitting in the corner, visibly tightened his grip on his phone.

"Li Ruo!"

Guo Yiling was clearly enraged to the extreme, her hands clenched into fists, and her voice suddenly rose:

"This is a blatant provocation against the student council's authority!! It's a blatant disregard for school rules and regulations!!!"

His control freak nature was revealed at this moment; he wanted not only proper attire, but also absolute obedience and control.

Li Ruo had clearly broken his rules.

"President,"

Li Ruo lowered her voice, carrying a sweet and seductive tone:

"Then, President, please teach me how to revise it so that you...are satisfied?"

She whispered the last two words almost into his ear.

The hot breath hit his earlobe, and Guo Yiling froze.
