Faced with Luozi’s hopeless answer, only Li Yan remained persistent. She turned to Xu Ze and said fiercely, “Xu Ze, you better come clean today. With so many of us sisters here, if you don’t tell the truth, we won’t let you off easy!”
Under the intense gaze of the crowd, Xu Ze broke out in a cold sweat. Finally, with a resolute expression, he said, “I… I really didn’t use anything?”
Amid the skeptical murmurs of the girls, Xu Ze raised three fingers and swore, “I swear!”
Seeing Xu Ze’s sincere expression, the girls were stunned. Li Yan took a deep breath, reached out, and pinched Xu Ze’s cheek. Under the expectant gazes of everyone, she gently squeezed twice, then suddenly her expression changed.
She withdrew her hand, sniffed it, and examined it closely before finally muttering, “The texture is nice…”
“The texture is nice?” The girls exchanged puzzled looks, then one by one, they reached out to pinch Xu Ze’s handsome face. After carefully sniffing and rubbing their fingers to confirm there was no powdery residue, they sighed in resignation. “Indeed, the texture is nice…”
The boys nearby were dumbfounded, wishing they could trade places with Xu Ze. “What’s going on? Are the girls collectively molesting Xu Ze? Good heavens… Did the heavens decide to compensate him with an entire forest after he lost a single tree?”
One boy in particular, with a neatly parted hairstyle and a fairly handsome face marred by a few pimples, glared at Xu Ze with burning jealousy. He had been pursuing Li Yan for a long time, and now she was being so intimate with Xu Ze. He spat out bitterly, “Pretty boy…”
Xu Ze faintly heard the boy’s jealous remark and frowned slightly but chose not to respond. The boy’s name was Zhang Ziyang, and he was known for his sharp tongue. Xu Ze didn’t feel like engaging with someone like him. Right now, he was more focused on figuring out how to escape the swarm of girls.
Although the girls were extremely envious of Xu Ze’s suddenly flawless skin, they had to accept that it seemed to be natural—he really hadn’t used any skincare products. Their attention shifted, and many began eyeing Xu Ze with interest. Some even boldly hinted, “How about we watch a movie together sometime…”
This left Xu Ze both flattered and slightly overwhelmed. He couldn’t help but marvel at Xiao Dao’s simulation calculations—his charm had indeed increased significantly.
Fortunately, the class bell rang soon after, freeing Xu Ze from the sea of admirers.
