Chapter 1 But there is no need to be too enthusiastic towards people you are not familiar with. 1
There are three famous figures in Yingting Academy. The first one is the "idol star" Shang Yi from Class 1, Grade 2. He always comes with a large crowd, followed by a large group of paparazzi and loyal fans, as if he is afraid that others don't know where he is. His devilishly handsome appearance makes people suffocate at a glance.
The second celebrity is the "Prince Satan" An Lengxi from Class 2, Grade 2. He is cold and aloof, but has a delicate face like a fairy. He is handsome enough to make all the girls in the school fall in love with him. He is also the only school idol who can compare with Shang Yi.
I was lucky enough to be in this dazzling team, and I was the only girl on the list. I entered this college with the third place in the province and the first place in the city. As soon as I entered, I became the focus of everyone's attention. In addition, I was good-looking, pure temperament, delicate and fair skin, and a slim and well-proportioned figure. Just because I was not very sociable, everyone gave me the title of "Ice Queen".
Alas... Actually, it's not like that at all. My personality is not really cold, nor am I unsociable. It's just that I have a congenital heart disease, so I can't participate in various activities like other students, and can only read books on the side. When reading, you usually don't have any expression, right? It's impossible to smile at the book, right? And sometimes, the excitement can put me in the hospital at any time, so the "iceberg" is actually just an illusion.
After class that day, I was reading in the classroom as usual, while the others were gathered together chatting.
"I heard that another girl confessed to An Lengxi."
"Needless to say, An Lengxi definitely refused."
"Yeah! Just like the Ice Queen in our class..."
As they were talking, the people they were chatting with turned their attention to me. I felt puzzled, so I looked up at them.
It's just a chat, why did it suddenly come to me? It's a tragedy that it has become a topic of conversation after dinner!
"Bei Yingning!" The dean shouted at me while standing at the classroom door.
I stood up calmly. What should I say? This is the privilege of being a eugenics student, because the dean's visit to me must not be a bad thing.
"Hello, Director. What can I do for you?" I bent down slightly, saluted, then raised my head and asked seriously.
The dean of studies wore a black suit, his jet-black hair was tied up in a bun, and he wore black-framed glasses. He looked typical... antique.
Excellent students are of course very popular with teachers, so the dean smiled and said, "Bei Yingning, your paper won second prize. Here is the certificate. You must have worked very hard and made a lot of preparations, right?"
I smiled awkwardly. I remembered that I almost fell asleep when I was writing the thesis. But I agreed to write it reluctantly because I could avoid doing homework by writing the thesis.
After that, I returned to my seat with the red certificate.
The students around him gathered around him and asked one after another, "What is the number of this month?"
"It's not a big deal." I smiled.
The students around looked at each other, with sighs in their eyes.
Luo Yun, who was in the same class, said excitedly, "Bei Yingning, do you want to go watch them play basketball after school?"
"The Queen wouldn't want to watch those boys play basketball!" another classmate named Bai Shanshan said disdainfully.
Luo Yun continued, "An Lengxi is here too. He plays basketball very well."
What queen? This title is like a tall hat, it's really uncomfortable to wear. If I just want to look at it, it's not a bad idea. Anyway, I'm bored staying in the classroom all the time.
"Okay! Let's go and take a look." I nodded and responded.
Actually, I also hope to get along with everyone, but my parents always say that I am in poor health and ask me to avoid it if possible.
When they heard what I said, they thought they had an illusion for a moment and stared at me with wide eyes. It took them a long time to come back to their senses.
After school, the sun set and a gorgeous color appeared in the sky. I and two other classmates packed our bags and went to the playground together, but what I saw scared me.
The entire playground was surrounded by girls, and there were also a small number of boys. How could I see this? I looked at the two classmates next to me with suspicion, but they didn't think it was a big deal, as if everything was within their expectations.
The two of them took a few steps back and rushed into the crowd. I blinked before I could react to what was happening. Although I couldn't rush in like them, I still walked slowly to the outside of the crowd.
"Can you please make way?" I asked softly.
After hearing what I said, the students around me started talking. I heard it clearly but didn't want to pay any attention to it.
"Bei Yingning from Class 1, Grade 1?"
"Why is she here?"
Then, a passage appeared in front of me, and I walked to the inside of the crowd at once. My vision was very clear. I saw ten boys having a fierce competition on the playground.
"You are worthy of being the queen. You don't have to squeeze and people will make way for you." Bai Shanshan also came to the inside of the crowd, came close to me, and said with a sly smile.
I sighed, shook my head, looked at her and said, "Would you mind not calling me 'Queen'? Just call me by my first name..."
But I think if no one helped me, I would never have been able to get in because I was too weak.
Luo Yun excitedly grabbed me, shook my body, and then pointed at the boy in the white sportswear and said, "That's An Lengxi. Very handsome, right?"
Hey, can she be gentler? My body can't stand such shaking. After hearing what she said, I raised my head and looked in the direction she pointed.
With fiery red hair and a small braid at the end, he looks like a passionate person, but his facial expression is extremely cold and his dark blue eyes are so cold that one cannot look directly at them, which adds a layer of mystery to his whole image.
In the sunlight, his whole body seemed to be shining.
"Huh? With hair like that...how could the security guard at the school gate let him in?" I asked curiously, tilting my head.
Bai Shanshan and Luo Yun both widened their eyes and looked at me with their mouths open, as if I had said something incredible.
"Is this what you want to say?" Luo Yun stared at me and asked.
Bai Shanshan laughed and put her arm around Luo Yun's shoulder and said, "See! I told you that our Ice Queen would never be interested in handsome guys. You lose. You're the one who pays for afternoon tea."
I've already told you not to call me queen, so I explained, "I'm also a teenage girl, but there's no need to be too enthusiastic towards someone you don't know well, right?"
But I'm really curious. He has blindingly red hair. Can the school guard really let him in?
"That's because our principal, who has been 'diving' for thousands of years, once said that students should stay ahead of the times, so that society will have a future!" At this time, Bai Shanshan explained to me with a smile, and seemed to be still happy about winning the bet.
Haha, that really sounds like something the principal would say.
When the principal came to me and wanted me to study at Sakuratei Academy, he was smiling and nonchalant, which made people feel no pressure, so I accepted his invitation.
"Bei Yingning, are you really not interested in him? Maybe if you confess to him, he will accept it!" Luo Yun suggested, with a strange light in his eyes.
Faced with her expression and words like that, I didn't know how to respond.
"Really? But I don't like him! At least not now." I looked at the figure on the playground and said slowly.
He intercepted the ball, turned around and dribbled, then quickly ran towards the basketball hoop and made a handsome slam dunk, which caused a roar in the audience.
Although the weather is still cool, it is inevitable to feel hot when playing basketball. He stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, then pinched his T-shirt with one hand and shook it.
"Oh, so handsome!"
"I can not stand it any more!"
A girl with a ponytail rushed into the court and handed a towel to An Lengxi. An Lengxi looked at the towel in her hand, then looked at the girl.
At this time, the playground was unusually quiet. I turned around and looked at the girls around me. They were all like wolves and tigers, with fierce eyes. Some girls seemed to be waiting to see how An Lengxi would react.
An Lengxi took the towel and wiped his sweat, then gave it back to her, saying in a slightly cold tone, "Thank you."
Although he was very cold, he was quite polite. I thought he was a self-righteous person.
On the court, the game continues.
The other team kicked off, and the ball was thrown out and bounced on the ground. A tall boy grabbed the ball and tried to shoot, but was blocked by a senior wearing a headband and successfully grabbed the ball. The senior reacted quickly and passed the ball to An Lengxi...
It’s just that the senior’s technique wasn’t that good, and the ball didn’t reach An Lengxi’s hands, but instead…
The ball actually flew towards me, and my heart suddenly rose to my throat. As the basketball was getting closer and closer to me and about to hit me, I instinctively stretched out my hands to cover my face and closed my eyes resignedly.
I only heard a "pop", but I didn't feel any pain.
I tentatively opened my eyes and saw An Lengxi's handsome face magnified in front of me. My heart suddenly started beating faster. I stared at him blankly, as if I was a little fascinated.
"Wow, so handsome!"
"Ah, it's really a hero saving a beauty, but it's a pity that the one he saved was not me."
Seeing the basketball rolling to the ground, luckily it didn't hit me. I breathed a sigh of relief, but my heartbeat accelerated at this moment, as if something was grabbing my heart.
Bai Shanshan looked at me, seemed to have noticed something, and asked, "Are you okay?"
I shook my head, covered my chest, and tried to stay calm.
"Thank you!" I looked at An Lengxi and bowed to express my gratitude. Then I looked up at the senior who had just failed to pass the ball and glared at him fiercely. The senior took a step back in panic and looked at me with some guilt.
A senior student: "Hey, the beauty is angry..."
An admirer: "If his face is disfigured, I will definitely beat him up."
At this time, the "headband senior" mustered up the courage to come over and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, junior Bei, are you okay?"
I have given a speech at the freshman conference as a representative, so almost all the students in this school know me, and of course the same goes for the person in front of me.
"Senior, I think you need to practice your skills more. Don't you know that a girl's face is very important?" When I spoke, the surroundings were extremely quiet. I looked at the senior in front of me expressionlessly, finished my words seriously, and then turned and left the crowd.
In fact, I was more worried that I would have a heart attack and faint on the ground.
"Oh, what a tragedy, we made her angry!" The senior's voice came slowly from behind.
I suddenly realized that watching football games is so dangerous. For someone like me who has a heart disease, it is better to avoid going.
Luo Yun and Bai Shanshan both ran over and stayed with me.
"What's wrong with you? You look so bad..." Luo Yun looked at me and asked gently.
"Your reaction is so strong! Although you are a celebrity, this rarely happens, right?" Bai Shanshan asked with a puzzled look on her face.
I smiled. It was rare for someone to approach me and be willing to be friends with me. Actually, it didn't hurt to tell them because they both seemed to really care about me.
"What?"
Screams were heard and the people around us turned around and looked at the three of us.
I felt a little helpless. Should they be so surprised?
"You said you have a heart disease?" Luo Yun asked in a low voice.
I responded without hesitation: "Yes! I have had it since I was a child, so I seldom come out."
"How do you feel now? Do you want to go to the hospital? It is said that people with heart disease cannot be stimulated. You must have been scared just now?" Bai Shanshan looked at me and asked nervously.
I was stunned for a moment, confused by her questions one after another.
At first I thought they would look at me with sympathy, but their reactions really surprised me.
"It should be fine. If there is really a problem, I will faint directly." I shook my head and said.
