Chapter 1 My Journey is the Sea of Stars 02
Jiao Mei kept asking about the appearance of the "back killer" and before she knew it, she had arrived at the classroom. At the beginning of the new semester, the classroom was unusually lively, like a boiling pot.
"Hey, monitor, monitor, have you heard? This year's freshman orientation system is a movie party. We don't have to rack our brains to think of any welcome performances. Oh yeah!" As soon as I put down my schoolbag, Lin Haixiang, the gossip king of the class, reported a great news to me as if he had obtained top-secret intelligence.
"Really? That's great news!" When I heard that the welcome party would be replaced by a movie party, the anger that had been pent up in my heart was instantly cleared away. "I was just worried that no one would come to me to sign up for a performance! Now it's good, I don't have to worry about it!"
However, my good friend Lin Jiaomei seemed to be more excited than me, the class monitor.
"Great news!" Her face was clearly filled with excitement. "Xiao Le, did you know? I heard that there are always a lot of handsome guys at the freshman welcome party every year, and this year's freshmen are all very good-looking. It's so romantic to watch a movie with so many handsome guys!"
"Oh, come on, Jiaomei, you're too much of a lovesick boy!" Jiaomei is really obsessed with looks and will never miss the opportunity to appreciate good-looking boys in any occasion.
"I'm really looking forward to it! I hope I can meet the most handsome man in my mind at the movie screening this weekend." Jiaomei has been completely immersed in the romantic scene she imagined.
Alas, I really couldn't do anything about her, so I had to quietly clean up the desk. After announcing the good news in the class, I got up and went to the mailroom to pick up some letters and subscribed newspapers for the class.
"Hello, Teacher Zhang, please help me take down the newspapers and letters for Class F of the Journalism Department, Grade 2015." Teacher Zhang in the mailroom was busy distributing newspapers. When he heard my request, he immediately stopped what he was doing and helped me find what I wanted.
"Here, take it." He handed me a thick stack of newspapers and letters, and added at the end, "Oh, by the way, Xiaoyan , Class A is next to your class, so please help take Ju Chenxi's package over as well. The students in their class who were picking up the parcel forgot to take his."
"Oh, okay." Helping others is what I, Yan Zhile, have always done. At this time, of course I readily agreed.
I took the package of the student in Class A from Teacher Zhang, put the pile of newspapers and letters from our class on top of the package, and went to Class A with both hands.
Since the height of the letters and packages piled in my arms exceeded my line of sight, I could only look carefully to the side and move forward slowly step by step with difficulty.
When I walked to the back door of Class A, I stopped a classmate who was about to go out without even looking.
"Hey, classmate, please help me call Ju Chenxi, thank you." I said panting while hiding behind a pile of newspapers and letters.
The other party was silent for a while.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds.
"Classmate, can you please call Ju Chenxi for me?" Three seconds is the limit, and I've already waited for five seconds. I was so impatient that I asked again with a louder voice.
"What are you looking for him for?" A cold voice came over, but why did this voice sound so familiar?
"There is his package. The teacher in the mailroom asked me to help bring it over." I held my breath and explained, muttering in my heart, this boy is really something, doesn't he see how inconvenient it is for me to carry so many things? And he has so many questions!
"Hey, why are you taking things randomly..." As soon as I finished speaking, the package in my arms was taken away. As soon as the package was taken away, my vision became clear. However, when the package was taken away from my sight and I looked into those cold eyes, I was stunned!
Why is it him again! That "back killer" who said something that deserves a beating!
It’s over, it’s over. He will definitely pick a fight with me about what happened at the school gate again.
"It's you!" He seemed surprised to see me, as if remembered that I was the girl who argued with him at the school gate in the morning, so he raised the corner of his mouth and put on a contemptuous look.
"Why are you taking other people's things?" In order to avoid embarrassment, I answered him while staring into the distance. I just wanted to deliver the package quickly and leave this place of trouble.
"Others? Am I someone else? Hey, open your eyes and see clearly." He grabbed the student badge on his chest and brought it right in front of me. I had to see the three Chinese characters that I least wanted to see.
Ju Chenxi!
What a narrow road the enemies meet!
Oh my god, this is so embarrassing!
Once again, I had the urge to crawl into the crack in the ground.
"Well, since you've already taken it, I'll leave first." I stammered. The atmosphere of tension and embarrassment filled the air between me and Ju Chenxi. My eyes kept darting around, afraid to look him in the eye.
"Please don't touch other people's things next time." Ju Chenxi said something harsh, and this harsh remark aroused my anger again.
"Please! I'm being asked to do this by someone else, okay? You make it sound like someone wants to touch your package." I stared at him with anger written all over my face.
This Ju Chenxi is so infuriating. I was so kind as to help him carry the package, but not only didn’t I thank him, I even blamed me!
Ju Chenxi suddenly came closer, bringing with him his unique scent. At this moment, his face was very close to mine, with a distance of only 1 centimeter between us. My face quickly turned red and hot.
"Boom, boom, boom!" I blushed as I heard the sound of my heart beating faster.
Although I was extremely shy, I still stared into his eyes. The curly eyelashes and dark brown pupils seemed to hide an unspeakable emotion. His fair and clean face was free of impurities and seemed to be emitting a faint luster.
My god, he really looks good! For a few seconds, I was in a world of crazy love, but soon, Ju Chenxi poured a bucket of cold water on me without any hesitation.
"Next time, don't help me get things again!" He leaned close to my ear and spoke word by word. His warm breath instantly covered every cell of my skin, and my face became even redder.
Before I could realize what was happening, he had already turned around and walked away with the package, leaving me with that deadly back view again.
I walked back to the classroom with the newspaper and the letter in my arms. After I calmed down, I was filled with anger. Ju Chenxi is such a bad guy. His kindness was not rewarded! I helped him but he was still so cold. It was so frustrating.
I'm so unlucky today. I ran into Ju Chenxi twice and nothing good happened.
Whoosh…
I took a deep breath, trying to ease the frustration.
But there is a movie party on weekend nights, which is at least something to look forward to. So don't be angry, don't let bad emotions affect your good mood, I said to myself silently.
