The Perfect Heroine wants to Possess me {English Translation}

Chapter 25

The autumn afternoon exuded a quiet charm, with the warm sun casting a soothing glow on the world.

The road was relatively calm at this hour, and the small RV cruised along the wide asphalt road. Wei Qingyu observed the receding street scenes and the downtown area, catching a reflection of Ji Xiao's profile on the bright glass as she sat on the other side.

Ji Xiao, engrossed in her phone, was engaged in a buzzing conversation, the ambient noise breaking the silence within the car.

Wei Qingyu observed Ji Xiao intently, her eyes unable to penetrate the enigma before her. She had rebuffed Aunt Wu's proposition in the morning in a capricious manner. Why the sudden change of heart at noon? If it was driven by jealousy because of Ji Qingyun and the bias in her favor, prompting her to attend the auction, then why did Ji Xiao willingly assist her in scaling the wall?

Questions swirled in Wei Qingyu's mind, and she lightly pressed her lower lip. Finally, she straightforwardly asked, "Why are you taking me to the auction?"

Ji Xiao paused for a moment at the question, pondered her response, and then inquired, "Why, don't you want to go to the auction?"

Wei Qingyu calmly met Ji Xiao's gaze and replied, "I want to go."

"Exactly." Ji Xiao raised her head with an unapologetic look, adopting an air of innocence. She continued, "You're not smart enough to jump over walls, and taking a taxi is willingly letting people run away with your money. This lady is kind and resourceful. Can't I offer you a ride?"

Wei Qingyu furrowed her brow at the words and expressed her gratitude, "Yes, thank you."

In response, Ji Xiao gestured toward the back half of the RV, behind the curtain, saying, "If you truly want to express your gratitude, go to the back, change out of your school uniform, and pick a piece of clothing to wear to the auction. Make sure you don't embarrass me."

Wei Qingyu glanced at her school uniform, acknowledging that it wouldn't be suitable for the auction. While she had initially planned to purchase a suitable dress from a nearby mall, concerns about limited funds made her hesitate. Ji Xiao, seemingly anticipating this, provided a solution.

Following Ji Xiao's instructions, Wei Qingyu silently complied and walked to the back. Ji Xiao leaned against the back of the seat, watching Wei Qingyu's figure reflected on the phone screen, feeling relieved that everything was progressing smoothly. She then turned her attention to the driver in front, advising, "Drive the car more steadily."

"Yes, miss," responded the driver respectfully.

The sun cast its warm glow upon the lake, and a gentle breeze created delicate ripples of light golden waves. Overhead, a shadow slowly passed over Ji Xiao's head. In that moment, Wei Qingyu, wearing short-heeled leather shoes that complemented her feet, approached Ji Xiao and spoke, "I've changed."

Ji Xiao, who had been somewhat bored with her phone, set it down and looked up at Wei Qingyu. Her eyes couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. Wei Qingyu stood before her, her long black hair cascading down gracefully. Her turquoise eyes gleamed like precious gems against the sparkling water in the background.

As the sunlight passed through the window, it illuminated her simple cyan long dress, accentuating her refined figure. The straight back and the loose shoulder design highlighted delicate collarbones, revealing an elegance that was both sophisticated and modest.

Standing calmly in front of Ji Xiao, Wei Qingyu exuded the nobility and aloofness she had cultivated since childhood. Like a pearl in the midst of mundane dust, she radiated a dazzling light. Ji Xiao, feeling a cool sensation, caught a whiff of a faint mint fragrance. This refreshing scent stirred her emotions. Initially, she had considered the phrase "beautiful" as an exaggeration, but now she found it to be an understatement.
