On Monday, Xu Yuan wore a white t-shirt that was cropped to expose her stomach, and it was thin enough that the male student sitting behind her could see the outline of her bra.

The whole morning self-study period, the student didn't study. He was just staring at Xu Yuan, his eyes glued to her body. He smiled lustfully to himself.

Right as he was staring at her, Liu Luo Yang turned around, an icy look on his handsome face, warning flashing in his eyes.

The male student immediately lowered his head, resenting Liu Luo Yang in his heart. Wasn't he just secretly peeking at Xu Yuan also? Pot calling the kettle black.

Liu Luo Yang indeed did peek at Xu Yuan quite a few times, and Xu Yuan also felt a lot of eyes on her. But she didn't mind, she enjoyed the attention, and she liked guys chasing after her.

The classroom was filled with the sound of students reading their textbooks aloud, but Liu Luo Yang couldn't focus on studying at all. The school's most beautiful girl was beside him, and her clothes were so revealing. Her white skin, her slender waist, his thoughts were a mess.

He was also incredibly jealous. He didn't want Xu Yuan to be looked at like this by other guys, he only wanted her to dress like this for him.

- After class -

Xu Yuan sat on the inside with the wall by her side, so whenever she wanted to get out of her seat, she needed Liu Luo Yang to get up and let her out. This time, he refused to let her out, taking off his black sweater and pulling it over her head.

They were sitting in the first row, and plenty of people in class were watching. Xu Yuan asked in a panic: "What are you doing?"

"Wear it." Liu Luo Yang said coldly, and tugged his sweater down, covering her body up.

"Woah--" The students started teasing them and the both of them blushed.

Cheh! Scheming bitch! Didn't you wear such revealing clothes specially to get Liu Luo Yang gege to give you his sweater? So devious! Song Yu Meng was busy cursing Xu Yuan out at the back of the class and staring at her with hate-filled eyes.

Yi Ran didn't pay too much attention to Xu Yuan's clothes. It was her own personal freedom after all. But she was curious why Song Yu Meng didn't say anything, Liu Luo Yang had even given Xu Yuan his sweater.
Of course, the still seething Song Yu Meng didn't know what Yi Ran was thinking about at all.

Wasn't it just dressing provocatively? As if she was the only one who could do it!

The next day, Song Yu Meng showed up to class dressed in an extremely sεメy outfit, a skin-tight black spaghetti strap dress. Her white skin, round shoulders and arms were all exposed, while the bottom half was even more outrageous. The hem of the dress barely reached the top of her thighs, revealing her long slender legs paired with a pair of black Dr Martens boots.

What was even more outrageous was that she had put on makeup today. Her seductive outfit paired with the bold makeup; Song Yu Meng looked completely different from how she looked yesterday, completely unlike a high schooler.

Students had to arrive before 7.20AM, and Song Yu Meng specially chose to arrive at 7.18AM, when the students were pretty much all seated and waiting.

She chose to come in from the front door and the moment she stepped in, all the students in the class immediately focused on her. Everybody's jaw dropped and the eyeballs of some of the male students almost popped out of their sockets.
Yi Ran's gaze was fixated on Song Yu Meng, her mouth half-open as she held a bottle of water in her left hand.

This was Song Yu Meng??? Yi Ran rubbed her eyes with her right hand and realised it really was Song Yu Meng!

Was this that same silly scaredy-cat she knew? More importantly, what the hell was she wearing? Yi Ran's expression slowly turned unhappy.

Song Yu Meng walked confidently past the platform, feeling insanely proud that so many people were attracted to her.

Despite the classroom being so packed, she noticed Yi Ran's reaction first before she saw Liu Luo Yang's.

She was satisfied by Yi Ran's reaction too. That dazed expression that looked as if her soul had been sucked out, clearly, she had been mesmerized by Song Yu Meng.

Thinking about it, Song Yu Meng felt secretly happy inside. She purposely walked slowly past Liu Luo Yang.

"You're very pretty today." Liu Luo Yang smiled slightly and complimented her.

Once she heard it, Song Yu Meng's confidence went through the roof. She raised her head and looked at Xu Yuan out of the corner of her eye, smirked mockingly and strutted away.
Xu Yuan was definitely unhappy, but she didn't let it show on her face. Yi Ran was equally as unhappy. While others were revising during the morning self-study period, Yi Ran was sitting there scolding Song Yu Meng in her head.

She just couldn't understand it. Did Song Yu Meng's brain malfunction this morning or what? Fine, she could understand why she wrote that miniskirt that time, it was for a day out. But this time, why did she wear such a skin-tight dress and apply makeup? This was a school, how was it appropriate?

The students sitting in front of Yi Ran were both boys, and they kept debating on whether Xu Yuan or Song Yu Meng was hotter and sεメier based on their clothes yesterday and today respectively.

Yi Ran rolled her eyes at them; does it even need to be said? It's not that she's biased, but Song Yu Meng completely won, okay? She didn't even take a second glance at Xu Yuan yesterday, but the moment Song Yu Meng came in today, she was entirely captivated by her.
Yi Ran turned her head and looked out the window. The more she looked, the more unsettled she felt, she had better not look anymore.

After class ended, a big bunch of Song Yu Meng's plastic friends came over to flatter her and tell her how pretty and sεメy she was, how much better she was than Xu Yuan. Song Yu Meng was enjoying all the praise, until she saw Yi Ran turning her head away and not looking at her at all. Her smile disappeared in an instant.

Why wasn't Crazy Yi looking at her? Wasn't she looking so seriously just now? What happened? Song Yu Meng dismissed her plastic friends and stomped over to Yi Ran.

"Hey, Crazy Yi, do I look good? Don't I look much better than that Xu Yuan?" Song Yu Meng rested her butt on the edge of the table and posed in front of Yi Ran.

Yi Ran's face flushed red and she stood up, half embarrassed and half enraged: "Good looking my ass. Can't you wear something more appropriate? What kind of nonsense are you wearing? Are you here to attend school or participate in a pageant?"
Song Yu Meng was also embarrassed and ashamed by Yi Ran's words. She originally thought Yi Ran would say she looked incredible, who knew she would get scolded? Did Yi Ran eat the wrong medicine today?

"Whatever this lady likes to wear, she'll wear. It's my freedom to wear what I want. Who are you to care?"

Yi Ran didn't reply, pulling Song Yu Meng out of the classroom with an angry expression. Song Yu Meng didn't try to pull her hand away either.

Bringing her to an empty classroom, Yi Ran let go of her hand then removed her sweater and handed it to her, ordering: "Wear it."

"I don't want to." Song Yu Meng folded her arms and pouted, turning her head away.

"Fine. If you're not going to wear it, I'm going to tell the dean and say your outfit and appearance is inappropriate and against the school rules. And I'll collect the maths homework starting from your row for a month without missing a single day."

Song Yu Meng was shocked: "Crazy Yi, are you mad? Is this even worth you being so serious over?"
Yi Ran kept a straight face: "It's worth it. Wear it."

"Nobody would pair a bodycon[1] dress with a sweater, it's so ugly." Song Yu Meng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but Yi Ran couldn't care less whether it matched or not, she pulled the sweater over her head.

Song Yu Meng's clothes were originally very revealing, and Yi Ran's sweater was on the baggy side, so it hung on her body and her bare legs made it seem as if she wasn't wearing anything on the bottom.

Yi Ran looked her up and down, and when her eyes landed on that pair of pale, slender legs, Song Yu Meng's face suddenly flushed, with a look of embarrassment.

Her heart rate was a little fast.

After a moment, Yi Ran said: "During the next exercise break[2], don't go. I'll bring you to the dorms, borrow a pair of pants from Su Xiao Xiao and change into it."

With a blushing face, Song Yu Meng "oh"-ed. Yi Ran still wasn't satisfied and continued: "You even applied blush. Go and wipe your makeup off now. You're not allowed to wear makeup to school, do you know that? If you get found out, you'll be in trouble."
Yi Ran held onto Song Yu Meng's wrist and pulled her towards the washroom. On the way, plenty of students looked at them weirdly. They were clearly surprised about Song Yu Meng's odd way of dressing, but they were also curious about the two of them having skin contact. Weren't they always quarrelling? Could it be that they were going to fight?

Song Yu Meng didn't really care about what bystanders thought. She didn't see anything wrong with being pulled along by Yi Ran, she even felt that this sort of serious Crazy Yi was a bit silly.

Besides, she didn't even put on any blush today.

Song Yu Meng bent over to wash her face at the basin outside the washroom, and even though she was wearing the sweater, it was still short. Plenty of people were peeping at her, male and female alike.

Yi Ran frowned, then silently stood behind Song Yu Meng to block her from their view.

The second class was the exercise break, and while everybody went down to do the exercise drills, Yi Ran and Song Yu Meng headed to the dorms.
In the dorm, Song Yu Meng chose a pair of loose jeans and wore it on, asking shyly: "Is this okay?"

Yi Ran took a few glances and slowly smiled: "Yeah, the sweater matches jeans, it looks good."

Oddly, Yi Ran's praise made Song Yu Meng feel bubbly with joy and her lips started inching upwards.

Yi Ran teased: "Song Yu Meng, what are you smiling at?"

"What do you mean?" Song Yu Meng arrogantly said, trying to stop her lips from curling up.

"Aren't you?"

"Nope."

Yi Ran smiled for a few seconds but didn't expose her.

The loudspeaker from the exercise field was loud enough that they could hear it in the dorms too, and Yi Ran smirked before pulling Song Yu Meng out of the room.

"I'll bring you to a place."

"Where?"

"Not telling you.

Smiling mysteriously, Yi Ran held onto Song Yu Meng's wrist and started to run. Out of the dusky dorm corridor, past the crowded and noisy exercise field, into the empty school building, all the way till she opened the wooden door on the fifth floor to reach the roof.
The roof was only 1.5 meters wide, with two railings and the two of them rested their arms on the railing. The wind ruffled their hair as they looked at the people exercising below, listening to the voice from the loudspeaker.

"Look, that's how you normally exercise, super silly." Yi Ran pointed at a student who was exercising funnily.

Song Yu Meng retorted: "Cheh, don't you also look funny when you're exercising? You still have the cheek to talk about me."

"You clearly have never noticed me, I'm always at the back slacking off, okay?"

"Aren't you good![3]"

At this moment, the principal standing on the field looked up at the rooftop.

"Oh crap, squat down!" Yi Ran quickly pulled on Song Yu Meng's shoulders and squatted out of sight.

Squatting down, the two of them were incredibly close. They could even feel the warm rush of air whenever either of them exhaled. They looked at each other, faces flushed.

Sunny skies, autumn wind, rooftop, looking at each other, two people with red faces.

[1] 吊带包臀裙 - I was racking my brain trying to remember what the heck this dress was called, when I finally realized at this point that it's called a bodycon dress LOL.

[2] 大课间 - Not 100% sure how to explain this, it's like a break where everybody goes to exercise at the same time.

[3] 好啊你 - Literally means, you're good. It's usually said in like, amazement and derision. If you tell your Asian mother that you failed an exam, she might just say this.
