Chapter 1 Mysterious No.1 on the Popularity List 1
"Breaking news! Great news!"
Before I entered the school gate, Xiao Fan, the head of the discipline group, stopped me because I didn’t have my school badge. Then, with an excited look on his face, he shook me and “roared” in my ear!
"The big news is that the Sakura Popularity List has been refreshed again, and 'Mysterious Prince' An Shengyi has won the championship for the fourth time..." I looked at Xiaofan calmly with a blank expression.
Xiaofan nodded.
"Great news, you mean the fans asked you to tell me that the auction price for Ahn Seong-yi's beautiful photos has broken the record again?" I continued with a blank expression, but my voice revealed a hint of anger and frustration!
Xiaofan nodded again!
"Ah..." I sighed with infinite resentment, pouting my lips, frowning, and looking at Xiaofan with a feeling of grievance, "I failed again..."
"Ah?" Xiao Fan sighed regretfully, then patted my shoulder and comforted me, "Forget it, An Shengyi is indeed the 'Mysterious Prince'. He has been transferred to Ying for two months. He has appeared in school no more than ten times, and each time no more than half an hour. It's normal that you can't take a picture of him..."
"Damn it! If this guy likes to act mysterious so much, why does he have such a handsome and eye-catching face? Why does he lag behind other top students by several dozen points in exams? And why does he always occupy the top spot on the popularity list! As a result, I have been chased by fans for beautiful photos of that guy recently! Ahhhh! Where can I catch that guy to take beautiful photos of him..." I hugged a big tree next to me and banged my head hard in pain, roaring angrily!
"Tiantian, there's nothing An Shengyi can do to change her looks, intelligence, and popularity..." Xiaofan advised me patiently.
I continued to curse this guy in my heart with resentment! As the seller of popular idol photos with the best reputation and quality on Sakura, I don’t even have a back photo of the No. 1 on the popularity list! This is a shame for my "secret photography" career!
Of course, more importantly, if I can’t take beautiful photos of An Shengyi, I won’t be able to exchange them for money, and then I’ll have no money for this semester’s tuition and grandma’s medicine!
"Tiantian, is there really no other way? Tracking, waiting, intercepting halfway... none of these work?" Xiaofan asked helplessly. She knew the answer without me answering.
I shook my head with a dull look in my eyes and said bitterly, "I have tried every possible way, but this guy escaped faster than a rabbit! I even dreamed of running to his house..."
"Wait a minute!" A flash of lightning flashed through my mind, and I instantly felt a surge of joy in my heart. So, I stared at Xiao Fan with shining eyes, a smile on the corner of my mouth, "Xiao Fan..."
"Tiantian, your smile so weird!" Xiaofan immediately crossed his arms and stared at me warily, "You...you are not going to ask me to help you do something against discipline again..."
"Please... for the last time... the Student Affairs Office must have An Shengyi's home address. You just need to secretly take it out and take a look..." I stepped forward, clasped my hands together, and blinked my starry eyes desperately!
"Full! Sweet! Sweet!" Xiaofan's little universe was about to explode...
Weekends are the most precious rest day for human beings and the best time to sleep in...
When everyone in the world was still dreaming in bed, I was the only one standing in a strange place, looking up at the high wall and praying in my heart: God, please throw a meteor down to destroy this wall!
"Damn An Shengyi! Why did you build such a high wall at home?"
I kicked the damn wall hard and cursed An Shengyi a hundred times in my heart!
I took out the small note Xiaofan gave me from my pocket again, and looked at the line of words that were exactly the same as the ones on the wooden doorplate on the wall in despair. I crumpled the note into a ball again and stuffed it into my pocket!
"No! We must go in! Otherwise, it would be unfair to Xiaofan who was almost caught!" I tightly held the camera in my hand, gritting my teeth and staring at the only big tree near the big iron gate, "Hehe, wait, An Shengyi! I must take a picture of you today!"
I put the camera on my back, rolled up my sleeves, and walked towards the big tree with a "heroic sacrifice" expression on my face!
Finally, I gasped and trembled as I lay on the branches of a large tree, and crawled along the branches little by little into the world inside the wall...
It was still dark, and everything in front of me was covered with a thick layer of dark gray. The dim street lights only illuminated a corner of the white wooden door. I imagined An Shengyi pushing open the wooden door in the morning, and then going for a walk or going out, and my anticipation overflowed from the bottom of my heart!
Yoshi! Lock on the target! As soon as An Shengyi appears, press the shutter.
The world fell silent again. The gray sky did not see the dawn that represented hope for a long time. I lay on the tree branch and waited until my eyelids began to fight...
Gradually, I seemed to see the smiling boy in the ice-blue sunlight in my dream again. He was holding the bone china cup elegantly and sniffing the rich coffee aroma in the air... The breeze from the window gently blew through the prince's ink-black hair. It was as beautiful as an exquisite and precious oil painting stored in the Louvre!
Uh, but...why is the breeze so gentle to An Shengyi, but so cold when it blows past me?
"A-choo——"
What, what’s going on?
I suddenly opened my eyes and turned my head 180 degrees in panic. The sunlight leaking through the green leaves sprinkled into my eyes. I raised my hand to cover them slightly. Finally, I regained consciousness and exclaimed, "It's dawn!"
"who?"
A surprised and angry voice suddenly sounded, and I was so scared that I almost fell off the tree! My nerves were instantly tense, my hands tightly held the camera, and my body leaned against the tree branch without daring to move!
I must not be discovered! Otherwise, my perfect plan, several hours of waiting, and this semester's tuition fees would all go to waste!
The whole world is keeping a strange silence. Good, the person who screamed in shock didn't seem to notice my existence...
Just as I felt a little secretly happy, a chill suddenly hit me, and then I sneezed violently as loudly as I could!
"Ah—choo—"
Evil spirit! Don't you dare to harm me like this!
"Who? Who's there!"
The scream broke out again, and I was so scared that I lowered my head suddenly, and my eyes met a pair of dark eyes flashing with sharp light!
I have seen those eyes in my dreams. They always have a cold and irresistible light, which makes anyone who looks into their eyes pale in comparison and lose their courage...
That was the icy look that belonged only to An Shengyi!
'Mysterious Prince' An Shengyi finally appeared!
"Who is it?" The cold voice was filled with danger. An Shengyi had already discovered me hiding on the tree branch above his head!
"I..." My breathing seemed to stop, and the voice was stuck in my throat . My vision suddenly became blurry and the whole world began to spin!
“Damn it, I haven’t taken the picture yet… ” I said unwillingly, and then my eyes went dark, my body immediately lost support, and I “fell” from the high branch!
"Hey - ah -"
A strange scream rang in my ears. Hey, I seem to have "fallen" too fast and hit something. Hmm, it felt hard, but very warm...
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Stop pretending to be dead! Wake up..."
Ah, the voice is so nice, is it An Shengyi? But why does it feel like it is getting farther and farther away?
My consciousness gradually fell into a dark and quiet world, but I clearly felt that I was leaning on a warm embrace...
