Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 814: Freshman Ball

Editor: Henyee Translations

The Hua University freshmen ball took place at night, and while attendance wasn’t mandatory for all freshmen, many saw it as an opportunity to immerse themselves in campus life and forge new social bonds.

Among the six girls in Gu Yang’s class, only Ning Gui opted to stay in the dormitory.

Su Ziyun paid a visit to Dorm 606 to find Tong Jiayin. Despite their past disagreements, they quickly set them aside.

Observing Tong Jiayin applying makeup with an array of expensive cosmetics on the table, Su Ziyun complimented her, “Jiayin, your eye shadow looks stunning. Could I borrow it?”

Tong Jiayin casually fetched an unused box of eye shadow from her drawer and tossed it onto the table. “This one’s for you. I’m not really into sharing my cosmetics.”

Su Ziyun’s smile faltered, but she accepted the eye shadow box graciously. “Thank you, Jiayin.”

Tong Jiayin huffed, “No need to thank me. I won’t be using it anyway, so you might as well take it.”

Su Ziyun clutched the eye shadow box tightly, glancing over at Tong Jiayin’s elaborate makeup setup.

Seeing that Gu Yang and Gu Jin were not preparing any makeup, Su Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed they weren’t planning to attend the ball.

That’s true. Knowing Gu Jin’s personality, she wouldn’t be inclined to join in the festivities.

Gu Yang had always been close to her, so naturally, she wouldn’t leave Gu Jin behind to attend the ball alone.

However, when she caught sight of Qiao Manman dressed seductively and provocatively, she couldn’t help but stare.

During their military training, everyone wore loose-fitting clothes, so she hadn’t noticed Qiao Manman’s figure before.

She approached Qiao Manman with a hint of embarrassment and remarked, “Manman, isn’t your outfit a bit revealing?”

Qiao Manman looked at herself in the full-length mirror and turned around. “I’m not showing off anything.”

Her attire was actually quite modest compared to some of the options in her wardrobe.

She stood before Gu Yang, placed one hand on her hip, and puffed out her chest, raising her eyebrows. “Yangyang, do I look good?”

Gu Yang nodded enthusiastically. “Yes!”

“As long as it’s pretty, it’s all good.” Qiao Manman flicked her hair back over her shoulder.

Su Ziyun couldn’t help but voice her concern, “Wearing such revealing clothes might attract unwanted attention and gossip, especially with people from outside the school around. You should be careful.”

Qiao Manman applied lipstick while looking at herself in the mirror. She disliked being lectured on her attire. “It’s not the Qing Dynasty anymore. I have the freedom to dress as I like.”

Gu Yang didn’t appreciate Su Ziyun’s comment. “Being cautious and dressing beautifully aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter how attractive someone is, it doesn’t justify any wrongdoing.”

Qiao Manman nodded in agreement, though she playfully pretended to reach for Gu Yang’s face with teasing intent. Under Gu Jin’s cool gaze, she quickly withdrew her hand, feeling slightly embarrassed.

“I’ve arranged to dance with a guy. I’ll see you later,” Qiao Manman bid farewell to Gu Yang and Gu Jin.

Once Qiao Manman left, Su Ziyun couldn’t help but sigh. “Manman is so lucky with guys. She’s barely started school and already knows all the boys in her class.”

During military training, Su Ziyun had also made efforts to integrate with the male students in her class, but she didn’t connect with them as effortlessly as Qiao Manman did.

Given the male-dominated composition of the Physics Department, establishing good relationships with the male students was crucial for future interactions.

Gu Yang felt Su Ziyun was overthinking things and didn’t engage further with her.

Shortly after, Gu Yang and Gu Jin also headed to the freshmen ball venue.

After half a month of military training, despite most members of the No.1 Middle School Group being at Hua University, they hadn’t had the chance to meet up until now. They were using the new student ball as an opportunity to reunite.
