Chapter 96: Ellen is Coming!

"Round Sharky! Can't you see such a huge handsome guy!"

Seeing Ellen's flat expression with absolutely no reaction, Ruby wished she could stand up and stomp her feet hard; she quietly pointed at Ye Ye Qingfeng on the podium, looking utterly frustrated that her friend was so dense.

Whether it was the boys at school or those handsome men in the videos, Ellen had never felt her heart flutter for anyone, regardless of whether they were peers, older, or even those cute little children.

Ellen had not shown the slightest interest in any of them.

If not for that previous metaphorical scenario where she was forced to choose between a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and she impatiently chose the man, Ruby would seriously suspect there was something wrong with her orientation!

"He's alright, I guess."

Ellen casually swept her gaze over him twice before withdrawing her gaze, speaking offhandedly in a flat tone.

Although she said this, regarding that man on the podium... she always felt as though she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't recall where at the moment.

Since she couldn't remember, she wouldn't force it; otherwise, continuing to think about it would require replenishing her sugar levels again!

"How can you say that? I feel like there's a kind of..." Ruby immediately questioned Ellen's answer; she pinched her chin, tilted her head, and as an image slowly surfaced in her mind, she clapped her hands and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! He has the vibe of an older brother from next door; you didn't see him smile just now! It was super gentle!"

"Sure, sure, sure... Ah~~ha!"

Ellen squinted her eyes and let out a heavy yawn.

"Ellen! You're brushing me off again!" Ruby pouted dissatisfiedly, reached out to poke the back of the seat in front of her, and said, "Rin, you judge!"

A girl with long, straight black hair, wearing round-rimmed glasses and with thick bangs covering her forehead, slowly turned around, pushed up her glasses, and objectively evaluated in a flat tone: "Mm! Indeed! On a scale of one to ten, I'd give him a nine; I quite like this type of boy."

Rin's deskmate, a Niu Xi person, leaned back in her chair with the front legs suspended off the ground and said without turning her head: "Indeed! Moreover, judging by his age, he should be about the same as us, and his personality seems very easygoing; he would be an excellent choice as a romantic partner."

(Horned Girl: Mona; Glasses Girl: Rin; Energetic Blonde: Ruby)

"See?" Ruby nodded in satisfaction and agreed, but when she turned her head, she saw Ellen lying face down on the desk, having fallen into a deep sleep; helplessly puckering her lips, her eyes suddenly lit up the next second, and she reached out again to poke the shoulders of the two best friends in front of her, waiting for them to turn and look.

"Shh—!"

Ruby made a quieting gesture with her hand, pointed at Ye Ye Qingfeng on the podium, and then pointed at the sleeping Ellen beside her.

Mona and Rin instantly understood Ruby's intention; after exchanging a glance, they curled the corners of their mouths and simultaneously made an OK gesture toward her.

About ten minutes later, Senior Qing Yi and Ye Ye Qingfeng's performance concluded perfectly; applause instantly erupted from the audience below, dense like drumbeats, and Ellen was abruptly awakened by the noise; looking around and seeing her classmates clapping one after another, she also raised her hands in confusion to join in.

"What's happening? Are we not having class this afternoon?"

Ellen asked while clapping, turning to inquire of Ruby beside her.

But not only did Ruby fail to answer, she suddenly stood up, raised her right hand high, and shouted toward Ye Ye Qingfeng on the podium: "My deskmate says she has completely mastered it! She very much wants to come up on stage and try!"

"No problem! Please have this student come up."

Ye Ye Qingfeng smiled faintly and agreed to Ruby's request.

In an instant! Resentful groans rose one after another throughout the classroom, and many female students cast envious glances at Ellen.

Sharky is confused?

"Ru-Ru-Ru-Ruby! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Suddenly becoming the focus of the entire class's gaze, a faint blush rose on Ellen's fair, pretty face; shyly lowering her head, she tugged at Ruby and stammered in a flustered, coquettish reprimand.

"Heehee! Ellen, no need to thank me!" Ruby walked out of her seat with a grin, clearing the path to the stage for Ellen, "An opportunity like this might only come once in a lifetime!"

"Thanks a lot, I suppose!"

Ellen glared fiercely at Ruby, and as she stiffly stood up and passed by her side, she retaliated by lightly tapping her tail against Ruby's calf.

"Go on quickly!"

Ruby nonchalantly gave Ellen another push from behind.

And so, Ellen walked onto the podium bewildered; from start to finish, she had no idea what was happening, only knowing that Ruby had tricked her into coming up here!

Thinking of this, Ellen glared once more at Ruby below the stage, only to be met with a gesture of encouragement.

Ruby: Heehee! Good luck!

Ye Ye Qingfeng hadn't expected that before he could even employ a slight scheme, Ellen would appear before him due to her best friends' persecution.

Student Uniform Ellen

She had short black hair with vibrant red tips, giving her a very distinctive look.

Her bright yet lazy red eyes shone beneath her youthful student uniform; her upper body was clad in a white shirt with a neat collar, revealing a sense of obedience and freshness, along with bountiful fruits that belied her age.

Her lower body was paired with a black pleated miniskirt, cinched at the waist with a black belt, while black stockings wrapped around her slightly fleshy legs, complemented by black leather shoes that showcased the youthful vitality of a young girl.

After quickly scanning Ellen, Ye Ye Qingfeng secretly glanced at Senior Qing Yi beside him, his gaze revealing a hint of consolation.

Senior Qing Yi: Just you wait, little thing! Don't you dare leave the school, or else!!

"What is your name, student?"

Ye Ye Qingfeng silently activated his Beast Charm Body, wearing a smile as he tried his best to appear approachable.

During the initial introduction, the effects were not fully explained at all! Besides being able to be actively toggled, the Beast Charm Body could also select specific targets, and most crucially, it could adjust the intensity of its effects.

If not actively specified, it would default to activating within a hundred-meter radius centered on him, with the effect defaulting to 100%; for cats, it was like becoming a walking catnip, causing the opposite party to generate an intense desire to possess.

Ye Ye Qingfeng decisively designated Ellen in front of him and adjusted the effect to 50%.

The moment it activated, the listless Ellen instantly lifted her head, her gaze burning hotly as she stared at Ye Ye Qingfeng.

Why do I suddenly feel that he... smells so good!!

【Beep! Ellen's initial favorability: 10%】

【Favorability increased: 5%】

【Current favorability: 15%】

(All Xi people will gain an initial 10% favorability toward the male protagonist, regardless of activation or gender! At 100%, they will pounce no matter the circumstances; at around 50%, they can still endure.)

"I... my name is Ellen Joe..." Ellen lightly bit her lip, her pretty face flushing slightly; suppressing the intense desire to possess rising in her heart, she paused for a moment before suddenly adding, "Just call me Ellen!"

"Alright! Student Ellen! There are less than ten minutes until class ends, so shall I randomly select one?" Ye Ye Qingfeng nodded slightly, looking into Ellen's gorgeous red eyes as he asked, "Is that okay?"
