A Young Woman's Heart

Since Mo Xueyao had joined, Li Wanyan and the others couldn't just stand by and watch, so they started helping with the promotion—though most of the time they were just dawdling.

Because I really don't know how to promote this kind of thing.

Mo Xueyao, on the other hand, became increasingly involved. Moreover, having been a boy herself, she understood male psychology quite well. Instead of seeking out girls to promote her relationship like the others, she stopped one boy after another and told them about the love stories between girls.

This aroused the interest of many boys, and once there were many people, those who were shy would no longer feel shy. Suddenly, there were many people in front of the stall, keeping Hua Yinyin so busy that she didn't even have time to talk to Mo Xueyao.

"Yaoyao, it seems like they've started registering for the video game competition. Aren't you going?" Li Wanyan patted Mo Xueyao, who was enthusiastically recommending yuri manga to the other boys, and asked softly.

In fact, the fact that she attracted so many boys is also inseparable from the charm of the school beauty herself. Moreover, her black clothes and snow-white skin are really too eye-catching.

Even if you don't like her, you'll still want to hear her say a few more words.

This is probably the first time she has intentionally used her youthful charm to do something.

Being a beautiful girl really makes life much easier.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this that one is more susceptible to temptation and more likely to lose oneself.

After all, its charm is just too convenient, and if used too often, it can easily lead to dependence.

"Oh dear, is it too late now?"

"It seems like registration is about to close."

"Then I'll go sign up for the competition! Wanyan, please tell Yinyin for me!"

"Ah."

Mo Xueyao tossed the promotional comic she was holding to Li Wanyan, then lifted her skirt slightly and hurriedly ran over.

Just as Ms. Qiu Yi, who was in charge of registration, was about to put away the list, she heard an anxious shout: "Ms. Qiu, wait a minute!"

"Huh...huh..."

Mo Xueyao rushed to the registration area, catching her breath with her hands on her knees before hurriedly saying, "Um, I want to register too, is it too late?"

"can."

"That's good."

"I'll just write it down for you." Qiu Yi took out a pen from his pocket and wrote Mo Xueyao's name on the list.

Are there many participants?

There are probably more than fifty.

"It doesn't seem like there are many."

"It's alright, after all, not everyone is good at playing games." Qiu Yi smiled. "There are computer games this time."

"CS?"

"Correct."

"I haven't played this much..." Mo Xueyao scratched her head. She had only played this game a few times during computer class at school, and the school computers were not very good, so it was a bit laggy and the experience was not great. "Oh well, participation is what matters."

"There's a prize for everyone who passes the preliminary round." Qiu Yi started packing her things. "Hey, good luck! If you get into the top three, there's an even better reward!"

"What is it?"

"It's a secret," Qiu Yi said with a mysterious smile.

"Could it be a computer?" Mo Xueyao suggested an extravagant prize, but given Qiu Yi's wealth in living in a villa, it didn't seem impossible for her to personally pay for a computer as the champion's prize.

"you guess?"

"Could it really be true?" Mo Xueyao's eyes widened in surprise. Although she felt she probably wouldn't win the championship, she was still full of motivation.

What if we win in the end?

Ten game consoles have been set up on the stage. Two people will compete against each other, and the winners will advance to the preliminary round.

Mo Xueyao hoped that her opponent would be a relatively weak one, so that she could pass the preliminary round with ease.

Those who are quite capable but still lost can only be described as having bad luck.

From a certain perspective, luck is also a part of ability.

"Alright, please welcome the first batch of contestants to the stage! They are Yang Ming from Class 6 of Grade 1, Sun Hao from Class 5 of Grade 1, Duanmu Ji from Class 7 of Grade 1, and Mo Xueyao from Class 2 of Grade 1..."

Of the ten people who came up, nine were boys, and only Mo Xueyao was a girl.

This was already eye-catching enough, but the fact that she was the most special mixed-race school beauty in the entire school caused a sensation among the boys watching below the stage.

"Look, look! It's Mo Xueyao from Class Two!"

"She plays video games too?"

"Wow, this all-black outfit is absolutely stunning..."

"Their eyes really are blue."

"There are no flaws even when viewed up close."

"Those legs, oh, those legs!"

"The skirt is too long; it should be shorter."

"Let's have some wind!"

The boys were talking loudly to their companions, and because everyone was having such a heated discussion, some of them inadvertently revealed just how terrible their thoughts were.

"Tsk, don't be so perverted, be careful someone hears you."

"So what? What's wrong with a man being a pervert?"

"That's it!"

"God, Jade Emperor, Buddha, Shakyamuni, please send some wind to blow your skirt up..."

"I don't think God would grant such a terrible wish as yours..."

"Splash—"

Under the bright sunshine, a strong wind actually blew up. The wind slipped into her skirt and lifted it slightly. Fortunately, she reacted in time and covered her skirt with her hands.

"I saw!"

"real or fake?"

"real!"

"what colour?"

"White!"

Mo Xueyao's eyelids drooped, and she heard many people saying things that made her feel helpless.

And it's not white at all, okay? She was clearly wearing black underneath today...

"Please take your seats, everyone." Qiu Yi said into the microphone, "The competition rules are very simple. The preliminary round will be King of Fighters. There will be three rounds, and each round will have three rounds. Winning two rounds in each round will count as one victory. The player who wins two rounds in the end will advance."

Physics teacher Ye Yu went up to the stage and inserted three game coins into each game machine, which would allow for three games.

Next, number plates were distributed to everyone.

The number plates are divided into two sets: one set is held by the student, and the other set is placed in the lottery box.

Ye Yu and Qiu Yi began to draw their opponents, with each pair forming a group.

After everyone was assigned their seats, the students took their places.

The competition has just officially begun.

"Duanmu Ji, I won't hold back," Mo Xueyao said with a sidelong glance and a light snort.

"Heh." Duanmu Ji sneered, seemingly expressing his disdain.

Then he directly selected Kyo Kusanagi.

Mo Xueyao's specialty is Iori Yagami, so she naturally locked him in without hesitation.

This game mode allows you to choose duplicate characters, so she directly selected three Iori Yagami, corresponding to the three Kyo Kusanagi characters that Duanmu Ji selected.

This gaming competition seemed less formal, more like an impromptu event organized by a few teachers who enjoy video games. And because there was no large projection screen, students were allowed to come directly to the stage to watch them play.

Of course, you have to keep a one-meter distance from each other, and you're not allowed to shout or yell, or the teacher will drag you off the stage.

Without a doubt, the largest number of people gathered around Mo Xueyao.

Duanmu Ji's expression was slightly stiff. He seemed unaccustomed to being watched by a group of people, despite his usually calm and silent demeanor.

Mo Xueyao, on the other hand, seemed quite at ease, having long been accustomed to it.

So she won the first round easily. Duanmu Ji was loudly mocked by several boys behind him, and his expression turned slightly unpleasant.

"Hey, you guys, what are you yelling about? Get off, get off, get off! If you really think you're so great, then sign up for the competition. What are you doing making such a fuss here?" Qiu Yi chased the boys who were mocking Duanmu Ji away. These unlucky guys even got a kick in the butt from the physics teacher—of course, he took off his shoe and kicked them.

Those boys seemed to know Ye Yu quite well.

In the first round, Mo Xueyao won two consecutive rounds, securing the victory.

She looked at her opponent triumphantly, feeling that victory was in sight.

"Hmph, you're still a long way from beating me!" Mo Xueyao teased with a hint of playfulness, purely a joke between acquaintances.

If she weren't a complete girl in front of Duanmu Ji, she probably would have said something like, "Aren't you awesome, bro?"

In fact, this is how she is when she plays games with Li Gutao.

Although it was supposed to be a competition, she clearly enjoyed the game more.

However, she got too cocky. In the second game, Duanmu Ji finally adjusted and won the game with a two-game winning streak.

"Huh, you're getting serious?"

"Just wait to lose," Duanmu Ji retorted. For someone who doesn't like to talk, this was quite rare, and it seemed he was really provoked by Mo Xueyao.

In the third round of the third game, Mo Xueyao finally brought out a character she hadn't used before—Mai Shiranui.

This is her hidden trump card. Although she's not the best at this, for some reason, she has a particularly high win rate when playing it.

However, I haven't played with her for a long time, so I'm a bit rusty. Therefore, I only put her last and chose Yagami for the remaining two.

Duanmu Ji chose Kagura Chizuru—a tall woman dressed in a white shrine maiden outfit.

"Phew... this is the last one." Mo Xueyao looked at Mai Shiranui on the screen and took a deep breath.
