NOVEL NEXT Chapter 44
Page Forty-Three A Brief Wait, Then the Show Begins
[July 10th, Thursday, 4:10 PM]
Under the influence of alcohol, Tian Xi spilled everything about what happened with Thunder Tiger… even about her own transformation.
Like a completed NPC, after spilling the information, she leaned her head to one side and fell asleep on the sofa. No matter how I called out to her, there was no response. Her unguarded posture made me want to touch her 36DD chest.
For those readers who don’t remember the details about what happened with Thunder Tiger, please refer back to the insert pages three and four… wait, what am I saying?
In any case, things verified my guess. The concert in a while will indeed be held by Thunder Tiger!
Moreover, I also learned the reason why Tian Xi scolded me for being a ‘bitch’.
Thunder Tiger believed that he had been cursed to become a woman because he broke his vow not to hit women by beating me, and Tian Xi was infected by this curse.
Wow, although it’s strange for me, the Goddess of Beautiful Girls (apprentice), to say this, they are really superstitious!
That so-called old Taoist priest is probably just a fraud.
However, since Tian Xi fell asleep, it’s also a chance for me.
I quietly got up and sat at a farther seat, then opened the invisible earphones and put them in my ears.
I whispered, “Hey, hey~ Is Little Crabapple and Xiao Lei still there?”
“Meow!” A startled cry came through the earphones, “Big Sister Crabapple! Brother responded!”
It seems like Orange is acting as a messenger? But soon the voice changed to Little Crabapple.
“Chairman, you lazy thing, where have you been for almost an hour!”
“I’m not the only one caught! Didn’t Xiao Lei tell you? They didn’t keep us together; Xiao Lei was taken to a private room, and now I’m being watched in the hall.”
“Wow, you can remain so calm when a girl is taken to a private room. Are you even a man?”
“The person watching me said they won’t do anything to her. Besides, do you have any news from Xiao Lei? Where are the glasses and earphones?”
“This place is more of a black shop than I thought. Ever since Xiao Lei entered the private room, I haven’t received any signals. It must be due to signal shielding devices.”
Now I’m not entirely convinced this is a black shop anymore.
“It could just be poor signal quality. After all, we’re underground, and the private rooms are well-sealed.”
After all, even in the subway, you sometimes can’t get a signal. Poor signal quality in a soundproof private room underground isn’t surprising.
Fortunately, I didn’t personally follow Masked Jerk around. Otherwise, I would have ended up in Thunder Tiger’s private room. Little Crabapple originally planned to guide me on how to impress Thunder Tiger, but the private room turned out to be a signal dead zone. Going in alone made me feel clueless and foolish.
“What are you going to do now?”
“The guy watching me fell asleep, so I managed to sneak out…”
I glanced at Tian Xi, who was sleeping with her mouth open. Transparent drool was gathering at the corner of her mouth, ready to slide down her cheek and land on her chest.
“But I have something I want to investigate. Thanks to our ‘female’ identities, we shouldn’t have much trouble, and they’ll release us tonight.”
“Oh, females?”
“What are you talking about…”
“Ah!”
I was about to refute Little Crabapple when a powerful force clamped down on my head.
A low voice echoed from behind, “Since I found a small walkie-talkie in that girl’s ear, I thought Tian Xi might have one too, so I came to check…果然吗？”
He forcibly removed the invisible earphone from my ear and released my head. I hurriedly looked back and saw it was the punk with the mohawk, named Lu Yue, right?
Unlike Tian Xi and Thunder Tiger, whose emotions were always written on their faces, this punk was more reserved. It was hard to read his thoughts from his expression. Although part of it was due to the mask, his eyes, which are the most expressive feature, were lifeless and looked very threatening.
“You guys have pretty advanced equipment… That girl over there, is she the student council president from Bìyáng High School?”
He put on my invisible earphone and seemed to communicate with Little Crabapple, “No, I’m just Thunder Tiger’s subordinate.”
“Of course, I can guarantee their safety. Yes, our grievances will end tonight.”
“Hmph, you think I’ll tell you that? Just wait quietly.”
Click, he turned off the invisible earphone.
“Be quiet yourself and stop causing trouble.” After confiscating the earphone, he glared at me sternly and muttered to himself, “If it weren’t for you, this wouldn’t have happened… Should I call you a lucky star or a misfortune?”
He didn’t directly label me as a ‘bitch’ like Tian Xi did, maybe he didn’t consider Tian Xi and Thunder Tiger becoming girls as entirely negative situations?
If I had to categorize it, they were lucky stars. Despite being written out of revenge, the Beautiful Girl Notebook was originally created to save unfortunate people.
But those three white eyes are terrifying; just looking at them makes me shudder.
He gently pushed Tian Xi twice, and she mumbled, “I can’t eat anymore…”
“…”
Tian Xi couldn’t be woken up, and those three white eyes looked back at me again!
“I still need to deal with some matters with Big Brother, so can you take care of this guy for me?”
Hey! I’m your enemy! Is it okay to let an enemy take care of your comrade?
“Waiter!” He called over a waiter, pulling out two red bills, “Bring her another two platters of snacks, the extra is for a tip.”
Am I that easily bought with two platters of snacks?
“Ah! Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!… Sir, right?”
“Is there something wrong? Do I look like a woman?”
Is this waiter starting to doubt everyone’s gender? And he gave me a fierce glare.
Around 4:30 PM, Tian Xi had been drunk for quite a while.
The bar was already crowded with people, and due to a lack of seats, the dance floor was filled with temporary chairs. Some very influential figures were invited by a white-haired, energetic elderly gentleman to sit in the first row of the VIP area.
“That energetic old man is the owner of this bar. I only know he has the surname Wǔwén. Before retirement, he was a famous producer in the entertainment industry. It was him who recognized Big Brother’s potential and wanted to be his benefactor.”
Even if she got drunk quickly, it was only a few sips of cocktails, which would dissipate quickly.
At this moment, Tian Xi was slowly waking up, and she started performing her role as a commentator, “Those sitting in the front row are all invited by Mr. Wǔwén. They are scouts or producers from various major companies. If any of them notice you, it means…”
She stopped mid-sentence and let out a belch with a hint of alcohol.
I took the initiative to finish her sentence, “It means you’ll soar to success and rise to fame?”
“Exactly… But you’re really strange, aren’t you?”
“Huh?”
“For the transformation of me and my brother, you accepted it too quickly. Could it be…”
This sentence from Tian Xi made me nervous. Did he discover something?
“Could it be that you’re also a man who transformed?”
“Oh, what are you talking about? I just accept things quickly. I’ve always been a girl since birth, hehe.”
“…That’s suspicious.”
“But, since this is Thunder Tiger’s concert…”
I pulled out my phone and opened the contact list, but Tian Xi snatched it away.
“Hey, you treat me like I’m nothing! Even though I told you about the transformation, it was the alcohol talking. I haven’t considered you a comrade, have I?”
“If you truly care about your brother, give me back the phone.”
Since she mentioned her brother, she asked, “What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to call your brother’s father and make him come to this concert.”
I really want to see the expression on Uncle Lei Lào’s face when he realizes his son has turned into a daughter. Will he still be able to maintain his tough-guy detective look?
“At this point, we don’t need to rely on irresponsible parents anymore.”
I frowned. This guy is being stubborn.
Although not all people from broken homes turn into delinquents, most delinquents come from troubled families. Thunder Tiger and his group of brothers are a bunch of unlucky delinquents banding together.
The only difference is that Thunder Tiger is richer than most delinquents, making him a rich but love-starved delinquent.
But if there’s still hope, they would still reach out for it…
“Are you sure your brother thinks the same way?”
“…”
“Let’s not talk about your brother. Don’t you want a harmonious family?”
“…”
She stared at my phone for a long time, pouted unwillingly, and finally returned it to me.
The Beautiful Girl Notebook gave her a pair of 36DD breasts and a heart of understanding.
