Chapter 0 wedge
"She should be at home, right?" The tall and handsome boy stood hesitantly in front of a gray building, holding his cell phone. "I can't get through on the phone, and she hasn't been to school. If I still can't find her, it will be troublesome."
The sun shines through the tree branches and becomes dots of light, which fall around him. His impeccably handsome three-dimensional features and well-groomed hair are set off by the golden light, making him look like a dream. His tall and straight body is wrapped in a well-tailored white shirt, and his healthy wheat-colored skin and smooth lines are perfectly combined.
He was clearly wearing the most inconspicuous clothes, just standing casually under the tree, with an unfashionable dark red travel bag slung across his shoulder, but he created the effect of walking on a catwalk.
Passersby who came and went would immediately look at him, as soon as they noticed him. But he was unaware of this and just stared at his phone, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly, a melodious violin music rang out from the cell phone.
The boy quickly pressed the answer button: "Hello? Yes, I'm already downstairs at your house. If I didn't see you, I wouldn't care. Hey, can you please be reasonable? I've tried my best, but your family is full of weirdos, and they're all elusive. What should I do? What? I decide? What do I decide? Hey, my God, you hung up on me, that's too much!"
He sighed into his phone and looked up at the building: "Since we're here, let's go up. Sigh, I hate dealing with girls, especially smart and pretty ones."
“Ding Dong Ding Dong——”
The doorbell rang for a long time but no one came to open the door. The boy turned to leave, but when he was about to reach the elevator, an angry voice came from behind him: "Who is ringing someone else's doorbell?"
The boy turned around hurriedly, only to see the door was closed.
He hurried back to the door and rang the doorbell. Half a minute later, the door was opened with a bang. The girl in green pajamas said angrily, "You're not done yet... Hey, who are you?"
The girl looked at the strange boy at the door in surprise, suddenly screamed, and then slammed the door shut.
This surprised the boy very much . He even touched his face, wondering if he was disfigured or suddenly became ugly. Otherwise, how could a girl, after seeing him, not only did not show an expression of admiration, but instead screamed and closed the door as if she had seen a ghost?
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with him, he pressed the doorbell again: "Hello, I'm here to deliver something."
There was total silence on the other side of the door, and the boy reluctantly pressed the doorbell again.
After a while, the door opened and the girl, who had changed into a sports suit, asked cautiously, "Who are you? What do you want to give me?"
The boy directly pulled out a photo from his mobile phone and placed it in front of the girl.
In the photo, two handsome guys of different types stand back to back. With their outstanding looks and unique temperament, it seems as if the whole world has become their background.
Behind them, countless colorful lights were flashing, and tiny colored ribbons were falling on them like raindrops, making them look like a pair of angels who had strayed into the mortal world.
After the girl looked at the photo, her expression became even uglier: "Leave your things here, you can go."
Seeing the girl's cold expression, the boy was full of curiosity, but he didn't show it. Instead, he asked with concern: "Why didn't you go to school?"
"What's it got to do with you?" The girl didn't appreciate it at all and replied coldly, "Where's the stuff?"
The boy, who had never been rejected by a girl before, suffered a setback for the first time. Seeing that she didn't look infatuated at all, he had no choice but to obediently take out a carefully decorated gift box from his backpack.
The girl took the gift box, said "thank you" without sincerity, and closed the door.
But in this short moment, the boy had already seen the scene behind the door.
The room was dark, with only a faint light coming in through the gaps in the curtains. The floor was dirty and covered with dust, and empty mineral water bottles, instant noodle boxes, and large bags of garbage were scattered everywhere. Several pots of dying plants with yellow leaves were thrown casually in the empty space, and shoes were scattered all over the floor.
All this reflects the owner's terrible living conditions.
Thinking about the news he had heard before, the boy put away his smile and started to make a phone call: "I have some bad news for you..."
