Rebirth of a Girl in a Boys' School

Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, the long-awaited anniversary of the school has arrived.

The morning sun had just begun to shine down, and a thin layer of mist still lingered over the campus when Lin Ruofei was jolted awake by a series of urgent knocks on the door. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, opened the door, and saw Gao Qiang standing excitedly at the dormitory entrance.

"Lin Ruofei, hurry up and come with me to the drama club, we have an important task today!" Gao Qiang said as he pulled Lin Ruofei downstairs.

When they arrived at the drama club, breathless, it was already bustling with activity. The entire "I'm Handsome" group was busy preparing props and costumes, while Hong Wei was nervously applying makeup to everyone.

Just then, a familiar voice came: "Lin Ruofei, come over quickly to get your makeup done. We're determined to win the treasure hunt at Qianji Mountain today!" It turned out that Zheng Dayu was waving to Lin Ruofei.

Lin Ruofei walked quickly to Zheng Dayu, about to speak, but suddenly froze. Zheng Dayu had huge dark circles under his eyes, making him look like a giant panda.

"Zheng Dayu, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep last night?" Lin Ruofei asked in surprise.

Zheng Dayu chuckled and said, "You don't understand. You'll see when you're all dressed up!" After saying that, he urged Lin Ruofei to hurry up and put on her makeup.

"What kind of look do you want?" Hong Wei asked Lin Ruofei, who was sitting in the makeup chair, with a smile. She blinked and blurted out without thinking, "I want something that will make you stand out!"

"Alright! I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" With that, Hong Wei quickly picked up his makeup tools and began to focus intently on his makeup.

Time ticked by, and Hong Wei, like a highly skilled painter, meticulously applied makeup to Lin Ruofei's face. Finally, with the last stroke, the entire makeup was complete. At that moment, Gao Qiang, who had been waiting nearby, handed the prepared outfit to Lin Ruofei.

Lin Ruofei didn't look at it much, happily took the clothes and put them on, then quickly walked to the mirror.

However, when she saw herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and open her mouth into a big "O" shape—because the image presented in the mirror at that moment looked like... a little zombie!

"What...what is this?!" Lin Ruofei turned around in astonishment, her eyes wide, and angrily questioned everyone, "What exactly do you want? Do you just want to watch me make a fool of myself? You don't care about anything and just let me be embarrassed like this?" Her voice trembled with anger, and her chest heaved violently.

Lin Ruofei only then noticed the state of the people around her. Upon closer inspection, she realized that everyone's makeup wasn't much better. Some had exaggerated blush covering their faces, making them look like monkey bottoms; some had lips painted bright red, as if they had just drunk blood; and others had thick, black eyebrows drawn on, resembling two caterpillars crawling on their foreheads. In short, everyone looked quite frightening, downright terrifying.

"What's the theme of your makeup?" Lin Ruofei asked, frowning as she looked at Zheng Dayu, who had dark circles under his eyes and was dressed in tattered clothes like a beggar. Zheng Dayu grinned smugly and replied cheerfully, "Haha, today I'm playing a super heavy smoker! The kind of pathetic wretch who's about to starve!" As he spoke, he deliberately feigned a listless and weak expression.

Just then, a cold and sarcastic voice suddenly rang out: "Hmph, look at your behavior, it's disgusting!" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Zhang Yang standing at the door.

As soon as Gao Qiang saw Zhang Yang, he exclaimed excitedly, "Hey, Zhang Yang! What brings you here? Didn't I tell you before that we don't need your help with this treasure hunt? We can handle it ourselves."

However, Zhang Yang glared at Gao Qiang and complained irritably, "You bastard, you're banging on the dorm door so loudly, I can't even get a good night's sleep!"

At this moment, Hong Wei walked up enthusiastically, grabbed Zhang Yang, and pressed him down into the makeup chair, asking with a big smile, "Hehe, since you're already here, why don't you join in the fun!"

"Don't give me that, I don't want any makeup!" Zhang Yang muttered, making a move to stand up and leave.

But just as he was about to get up, Lin Ruofei, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and pressed him down firmly.

Lin Ruofei excitedly shouted to Hong Wei, "Master Hong, hurry! Give Zhang Yang a cool and handsome look, he must be able to charm everyone!"

At that moment, Zhang Yang, who was being held tightly by Lin Ruofei, suddenly felt his heart pounding wildly, as if a deer had suddenly struck it. For a moment, he even forgot to struggle and resist, obediently letting Hong Wei apply the smear to his face.

A moment later, after a meticulous and flamboyant display of adornment, it presented a truly astonishing sight.

Gao Qiang stood aside and carefully helped Zhang Yang put on that special outfit.

With everything prepared, Zhang Yang slowly stood up and moved to the mirror. When he saw the unfamiliar and strange reflection of himself in the mirror, he couldn't help but gasp.

In the mirror, his mouth was drawn extremely large, like a blood basin, with even a few drops of blood-red saliva sliding from the corner of his mouth. The area around his eyes was painted dark black, forming round dark circles, making him look sinister and terrifying.

Zhang Yang stared wide-eyed, pointing incredulously at his face and asking, "What...what is this?"

At this moment, Hong Wei, who was standing to the side, revealed a smug look on his face and replied with a grin, "Can't you tell? Haha, you're a complete vampire now! How about it, isn't it amazing?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang's face instantly turned ashen, and he roared furiously, "Wash it off right now! Immediately!"

However, facing Zhang Yang's anger, Zheng Dayu suppressed his laughter and teased, "Hey, don't be so hasty, I think it's great! Look, you're dressed as a vampire, and Lin Ruofei is dressed as a zombie. You two are both members of the 'Man-Eating Sect,' how well-matched you are!" After saying that, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Yeah, they're such a perfect match!" Gao Qiang excitedly shouted to the people around him with a big smile as he pulled Zhang Yang along. "Hey everyone, stop dawdling! Time waits for no one! Let's hurry up and head to Qianji Mountain!" With that, he eagerly pulled Zhang Yang and strode out of the house.

Seeing this, the others quickened their pace and followed.

Along the way, they chatted and laughed, as if they had already foreseen the upcoming victory and harvest. When the group arrived at Qianji Mountain in a great hurry, the treasure hunt had just begun.

The scene was bustling with activity, with crowds of people. Gao Qiang led his team members, who were dressed in various terrifying ghost paintings, and with sharp, piercing roars, they rushed towards Qianji Mountain like a black whirlwind.

This sudden turn of events startled the other participants, many of whom panicked and scattered in all directions.

Meanwhile, Gao Qiang and his companions began their operation—a thorough search for the cafeteria meal cards hidden in every corner. As they walked, Gao Qiang whispered to his friends, "Listen up, everyone! Don't miss any colored plastic bags. Pick them up and examine them carefully. You know what? That cunning headmaster loves to hide meal cards inside plastic bags and then pretend they're just ordinary trash bags! Also, if you see any protruding piles of leaves, quickly find a stick and dig them up. Our school principal is a sly fox; he always likes to secretly bury meal cards in piles of leaves..." With Gao Qiang's repeated instructions, the group, like a pack of hungry wolves, widened their eyes, not missing a single place where meal cards might be hidden.

Just as everyone was shouting and yelling as they searched desperately up the mountain path, the sharp-eyed Lin Ruofei suddenly spotted an elegant meal card hanging precariously on a treetop not far away. Overjoyed, she didn't hesitate and dashed off in that direction like an arrow.

Reaching the tree, Lin Ruofei tiptoed and leaped several times, trying to reach the card, but without success. Just as she jumped again with all her might, an accident occurred—her foot suddenly slipped, she lost her balance, and she involuntarily tilted backward…

However, the excruciating pain she had imagined from intimate contact with the ground did not materialize. Instead, Lin Ruofei felt as if she were lying on something soft and elastic beneath her, a strange and wonderful sensation. She turned her head in confusion and was surprised to find that Zhang Yang had arrived just in time and had pulled her into a tight embrace with lightning speed.

Zhang Yang's warm chest pressed against Lin Ruofei's back. He breathed slightly and whispered, "You really scared me to death." Hearing this, Lin Ruofei's heart, which was already pounding rapidly from fright, began to race even more violently. At this moment, she was nestled in Zhang Yang's broad embrace, gazing closely at his handsome face, which even his vampire makeup couldn't hide. Unconsciously, her cheeks were already flushed.

At this crucial moment, Zheng Dayu, who had just witnessed the entire scene, could no longer contain his joy. Like a firecracker that had been lit, he suddenly burst into a deafening laugh. He laughed so hard he almost fell over, as if he had seen the most ridiculous thing in the world. At the same time, Zheng Dayu's booming voice echoed through the sky as he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Everyone, come and see! There are little zombies and vampires fighting fiercely here!"

Hearing Zheng Dayu shout so loudly, Lin Ruofei, who had been immersed in Zhang Yang's warm embrace, instantly blushed. Like a startled fawn, she hurriedly broke free from Zhang Yang's embrace. At this moment, she was flustered and didn't dare to look at Zhang Yang again, afraid that he would see her embarrassing state.

So, Lin Ruofei pointed to the meal card hanging on the tree branch, then lowered her head and hurriedly moved to the side, wanting to escape this place that made her feel extremely embarrassed as soon as possible.

This ghost-scaring tactic was absolutely brilliant; the effect was beyond imagination! Before long, piles of cafeteria meal cards worth a full ten thousand yuan poured into Gao Qiang and his companions' pockets like water. With victory in sight, everyone was incredibly excited, as if they could already see countless sumptuous meals laid out before them.

But who could have imagined? Just as the treasure hunt was about to come to a successful close, an astonishing situation occurred—a cafeteria meal card with a face value of 500 yuan was still missing! This worried everyone greatly, because 500 yuan is no small sum; it could buy many delicious meals! So, everyone immediately launched a tense and intense search operation.

Some people lay on the ground, their eyes wide open, carefully searching every inch of the space; others climbed to higher ground, trying to find clues from different angles; still others even turned the tables and chairs around the pavilion upside down, hoping to find something. However, no matter how hard everyone tried, the mysterious meal card seemed to have vanished into thin air, never to be found.

At this moment, the sun hangs high in the sky, its scorching rays pouring down, and time has quietly slipped to noon.

The teachers in charge of the treasure hunt glanced at their watches, then looked up at the group of students still engrossed in searching for the last meal card, and called out loudly, "Alright, everyone! It's noon now, stop looking and go eat lunch!"

Hearing the teacher's call, the students stopped in their tracks. Some lingered, glancing back at the undiscovered treasure clues, but obediently followed instructions and headed towards the cafeteria. Along the way, the students chattered excitedly about their morning's treasure hunt, their laughter echoing through the campus paths.

After the students had lunch, the much-anticipated school anniversary performance began in the boys' high school auditorium.
