Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

"Mr. Zhang, would you be interested in getting to know me?" Mu Taofang sat down next to him, holding a wine glass, her wrinkles around her eyes deepening as she spoke.

Zhang Yizhe glanced at the other person a few times, a hint of displeasure flashing deep in his eyes.

"Thank you for your kind offer. We should have gotten to know each other well from our previous introductions."

Ultimately, he's a sucker for good looks, and he only reserves his refined and patient manner for people who suit his taste. Moreover, the other party is clearly there to climb the social ladder, which makes Zhang Yizhe extremely impatient.

Seeing that she had run into a wall, Mu Taofang didn't say anything more, only revealing a hint of resentment as she turned away.

......

"Would you like some baked snails?" Su Wanxi asked her softly.

“No…” Gu Cheng shook her head. She was a traditional Chinese person and didn’t care much for this kind of dish.

Although the baked snails looked a bit like braised snails, she just couldn't bring herself to eat them once she thought about their nature.

I've heard that in the hometown of this dish, nearly 60,000 tons of snail meat are consumed every year... They probably eat snails as commonly as Chinese people eat crayfish.

"Waiter, pour some more asti." The man, dressed in a white suit, carefully poured the wine from the bottle.

Asti's alcohol content isn't very high, only about 2%-4% higher than supermarket beer. Even so, after a few drinks, Gu Cheng's cheeks still flushed slightly.

Her body seems to be very sensitive to alcohol now; in the past, drinking these few glasses would have been no different from drinking water.

Su Wanxi also noticed the girl's flushed ears. She stretched out her fair arms and slowly wrapped them around the girl's waist.

"What's wrong?" The dark green dress rustled against the white shirt, and Gu Cheng looked at the pretty face so close to her, her tone a little unnatural.

"Lemonade, it can help you sober up." She took a martini glass, with crushed ice and pale yellow lemon slices floating in the clear liquid.

"Thank you~" After thanking Su Wanxi, Gu Cheng brought the cup to her lips and took a small sip, her fair neck appearing exceptionally graceful under the light.

Su Wanxi simply gazed at her quietly, her thin, cicada-wing-like eyelashes fluttering slightly.

"What else would you like to eat?" After Gu Cheng put down her wine glass, Su Wanxi's slender fingers once again touched the girl's hair, gently smoothing out the perky parts.

"I'm full..." Gu Cheng shook her head, her long, soft hair swaying in the breeze.

"Then...would you like to go for a walk?" Her breath was fragrant and carried the aroma of fine wine, and Su Wanxi's delicate cheeks were flushed slightly.

"Mmm." Gu Cheng responded softly, taking Su Wanxi's fair wrist in her hand. The latter smiled slightly, turned her hand over and clenched it, interlocking her fingers with Su Wanxi's.

Leaving through the side door, the two strolled side by side through the side hall, with soothing jazz music playing in their ears.

"Don't be so nervous, it looks great." Seeing Gu Cheng glancing at her skirt and stockings from time to time, Su Wanxi comforted her softly.

"I... um..." The girl's smooth legs were pressed tightly together, her black leather shoes making a soft clattering sound as they stepped on the ground. The soles weren't as hard as Gu Cheng had imagined; whether it was the pantyhose or the insoles, they felt very soft when she walked.

I prefer you dressed like this to your usual style.

"I'm embarrassed to wear...this type of thing..." Gu Cheng lowered her head, staring intently at the carpet.

"Why..." Su Wanxi's eyes were slightly confused. Everyone loves beauty, and someone Gu Cheng's age should dress beautifully, instead of wrapping herself up like a dumpling all day long.

"I've never worn a skirt before..." The girl tugged at the sheer stockings on her legs, her cheeks flushing even more.

"shy?"

"Hmm, a little bit..." It felt really good, but it was also really shameful... Gu Cheng loosened her fingers, the silky feel of the socks made her reluctant to let go.

"I have quite a few similar styles of clothes..."

"I'm really sorry... but you can wear it for me privately first."

Su Wanxi parted her lips slightly, completely unaware of how easily her words could be misunderstood.

"..." Gu Cheng fell silent, a hint of resentment appearing in her eyes.

Su Wanxi...you're playing with fire...

Section 95, Chapter Ninety-Three: I can!

Just as Gu Cheng was about to explode, Su Wanxi turned around and pulled Qin Kexin, who had been following behind them, in front of her.

"Hey? Sister Xi..." Qin Kexin was stunned when her body felt lighter. Realizing that something was wrong, she looked at the two of them with teary eyes.

"...Why aren't you sitting next to Uncle Zhou waiting to be fed? What are you doing sneaking around following us like this?" Su Wanxi put Qin Kexin down and released the gravity control.

"I... um..." the girl stammered, one hand clutching the hem of her skirt, the other rubbing her thigh, which was covered in white stockings.

"...I just ate and came out for some fresh air!" So clever! She found a reason in an instant. That's so true of me, Qin Kexin!

Su Wanxi asked skeptically, "Really?"

Qin Kexin patted her not-so-full chest and confidently declared, "Mmm, the vanilla smoothie is super delicious~"

Unable to imagine what purpose the other party could have in following them, Su Wanxi blinked, acknowledging this explanation.

Hurry up and stick it on... Orange, what are you waiting for...?

Gu Cheng looked helpless; she could roughly guess what Qin Kexin was thinking.

......

The three of them found a sofa to sit on. Qin Kexin's gaze darted back and forth between Gu Cheng and Su Wanxi, finally settling on their interlocked hands.

Gu Cheng hesitated and tried to let go, but Su Wanxi held on tightly.

"It's rare to see Chengzi in a dress, I want to see more of her..." Qin Kexin took a sip of her water, a sweet smile spreading across her face.

"What size are Orange's pantyhose? They feel so thin..." Qin Kexin put down her glass and touched Gu Cheng's thigh with her palm. The latter froze and quickly grabbed Qin Kexin's right hand.

"I don't know." When you're opening a package, you don't have time to pay attention to that; she just wanted to disappear into a hole.

Seeing Qin Kexin's actions, Su Wanxi frowned slightly, her cherry-pink lips parting gently: "15D."

15D... no wonder it's so sheer... sigh, why does Sister Xi know so much?

Qin Kexin pondered for a moment and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Even the navy blue uniform skirt that Gu Cheng was wearing looked increasingly familiar to her.

It looks like... the one Su Wanxi wore before?!

"The skirt and pantyhose... are they... are they Sister Xi's?" Her voice trembled slightly, and her dark, moist eyes were full of anticipation.

"Yes, the shirt and leather shoes too." Su Wanxi nodded, her wrist resting against her fair cheek, her long legs in black stockings casually crossed.

This answer was like a thunderbolt striking a prairie fire. Qin Kexin clutched her chest, unable to resist bending over and burying her face between her legs.

Orange is amazing... I only let her try yesterday, and she's already won over Sister Xi today...

It's not surprising that she sees people through a purported lens. Su Wanxi had never heard of any close female friends during her four years of university, let alone such intimate acts as borrowing clothes.

"Ahhh... I'm really healed..."

"Chengzi, Chengzi, why didn't you tell me about something this big first?" The mental communication connection was established instantly, and Gu Cheng was almost startled by Qin Kexin's explosive shout.

"...What's wrong?" Seeing her so agitated, Gu Cheng blinked, somewhat confused.

"You're still asking me? I've already changed my clothes... Don't I think I'm your sweetheart now?"

Sweetie... Has Qin Kexin lost her mind?

"Having a wife means forgetting your best friends. Orange is such a wicked woman who forgets her friends for the sake of beauty, sob sob~"

Qin Kexin raised her head, her cute cheeks puffed up, her face full of excitement.

"Where have we reached? It can't be already... umm..."

"I just borrowed some clothes, you're overthinking it..." Even if Gu Cheng was slow to realize, she knew that Qin Kexin had misunderstood something big, so she quickly explained over the phone.

“Su Wanxi said that formal attire is required for the banquet. I forgot to buy one last time, so I’m borrowing this for now.”

"Huh?" Formal attire is required for the reception? They're not the team leaders, so where did this rule come from?

Could it be... that Sister Xi, who seems so cold, is actually quite charming...? "Rounding it up, you two are already married." Qin Kexin blinked, a meaningful smile appearing on her lips.

Sitting next to her, Su Wanxi took in everything. As an A-level Awakened, she was extremely sensitive to fluctuations in abilities.

They were communicating privately... Gu Cheng and Qin Kexin, one with flushed cheeks and the other with a slightly pouting mouth, were exchanging glances that seemed to convey their feelings.

Why won't you connect to me... This sudden sense of alienation felt strangely jarring to Su Wanxi. She narrowed her eyes and leaned against Gu Cheng's shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Gu Cheng asked with concern as she felt the faint breathing around her neck.

"I feel dizzy..." Su Wanxi groaned. She had drunk quite a bit that night, so it was perfectly normal for her to feel drunk.

"...I should have told you to drink less." Gu Cheng felt a little sorry for Su Wanxi, who had been so focused on the novelty of the drink that she hadn't realized she had secretly drunk so much.

"I'm sorry..." Her breath was slightly damp and warm, and it took Su Wanxi less than three seconds for her voice to change from cold to soft and sweet.

It seems there's really a chance! Qin Kexin crossed her arms in front of her chest, a bright, doting smile on her face.

It's so sweet!

"I'm outta here," Qin Kexin thought, feeling embarrassed to be a third wheel any longer. She stood up and left the side hall with light steps. Su Wanxi peeked through the crack, her pupils gleaming faintly.

......

"Have some lemon water..." It can help sober you up. Su Wanxi had advised her earlier, but in less than half an hour, the situation had reversed.

"I don't want to drink... I want orange juice~" Su Wanxi murmured softly, like a newborn rabbit.

Even when he's this drunk, he's still flirting with her. I just can't get over this... Gu Cheng patted Su Wanxi's back helplessly and called for a waiter to bring water.

"Take a sip." She specifically asked for a straw and brought the end close to the girl's cherry lips.

Drinking something sour should help... But before I knew it, my fingers holding the straw touched the other person's delicate lips.

"!" Gu Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and she almost knocked over her wine glass.

So tender and smooth... I wonder what it would feel like to kiss it...

Slightly drunk, Su Wanxi's face was flushed, and her luscious lips seemed to beckon her to kiss her directly.

"What's the point of being so good-looking..." Seeing that the other person didn't react, Gu Cheng swallowed hard, calmed herself down, and tried again. After a few careful attempts, she finally managed to put the straw into the other person's mouth.

"Let's go back after we finish this."

"...Mmm." Su Wanxi gently sucked on the straw, letting out a soft moan.

......

Zhang Yizhe walked into the side hall with a glass of champagne, quite satisfied with tonight's banquet.
