Chapter 1: Sweet Roasted Marshmallow Caramel Honey Milk Tea 3
When I got home, I was almost exhausted and fell on the bed.
After a busy day and being entangled by Dong Hanye, I was physically and mentally exhausted.
I should take a shower and go to bed as I have to go to class tomorrow.
I sat up from the bed with my exhausted body, and the pen in my pocket accidentally fell out. This is my most important treasure. I picked it up gently, and was in a daze for a while.
This is my brother's favorite pen, but now he can't use it.
Five years ago, my brother who was studying at Hibiscus College suddenly disappeared. Although the police have treated my brother as a missing person, I believe that he is still alive. Therefore, I must find out the truth about my brother's disappearance. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up!
Brother...my beloved brother, where are you?
After a quick shower, I fell asleep with a pen in my pocket and longing for my brother.
“Ding-ling-ling… Ding-ling-ling…”
After the alarm clock rang countless times, I finally rubbed my sleepy eyes and got up.
I packed up, held a piece of toast in my mouth, carried my schoolbag, and walked quickly on the road. I thought, I shouldn't run into Dong Yehan again today! Looking at his appearance yesterday, I felt that he was not someone who would give up so easily.
But it doesn’t matter if I bump into him, I can just avoid him!
Having figured out a plan, I was happily considering what to eat for lunch. However, as soon as I stepped into the school gate, I was greeted with a lot of inquiring looks.
"Look, it's her. How did Dong Yehan fall in love with her?"
"Yeah, he looks too ordinary."
"I heard that she's a huge foodie. I guess Prince Yehan finds her interesting because she eats everything."
What are they talking about? I don't understand.
I ignored the gazes of my classmates around me and walked towards the classroom in confusion, but was frightened by Qiaoqiao's sudden appearance.
"Xiaoxian, you are famous now."
Become famous? I don't know anything. I touched my chest, still not recovered from the shock.
Seeing my confused look, Qiaoqiao took me to the bulletin board of the college.
At this time, a large group of girls had gathered around the bulletin board, and Qiaoqiao and I had a hard time squeezing into the circle.
There is an invitation on the notice board.
The protagonist of this invitation letter is actually me, and the inviter is Dong Yehan!
This is an invitation letter inviting me to join the investigation team. Although it is written simply, there is an ambiguous feeling between the lines.
Please, I don’t want to become the public enemy of all the girls in school!
Sure enough, I knew Dong Yehan would not give up so easily.
Humph, no matter what means he uses, I will not join him!
"Xiaoxian, why did Dong Yehan invite you to join the mysterious incident investigation team?" Qiaoqiao asked curiously.
I get angry when I talk about this. I have already rejected him, but I didn’t expect that he still wouldn’t give up.
"It's a long story."
"Then tell everyone about it."
A gentle voice suddenly sounded, and the girls around suddenly fell silent, staring blankly with wide eyes at Dong Yehan who was approaching gracefully.
I muttered, "Why you again?"
"Of course I came here in person to invite you to join the investigation team. That shows my sincerity, doesn't it?" Dong Yehan lowered his head and smiled.
"Oh my god, Dong Yehan is so handsome!"
"I'm always ready to join the investigation team, Prince Yehan, please choose me!"
"Is that girl called Gu Xiaoxian?"
"Yeah, she's not pretty at all."
I am speechless. Please, it’s not like I want to join any investigation team.
Dong Yehan leaned closer and whispered softly in my ear, "Xiaoxian, you will join."
"I won't! Don't think I'll agree just because you're handsome. I won't join!"
I'm so pissed off. Don't think he can do whatever he wants. I hate self-righteous boys the most!
Dong Yehan was slightly stunned when he saw that I was angry, then he showed a helpless smile, and his clear and deep amber eyes sparkled.
"Did you hear that? That Gu Xiaoxian isn't joining us!"
"No way, is she playing hard to get?"
"How abominable! You actually rejected Prince Yehan's request!"
I am speechless. These girls are so indiscriminate.
I ignored Dong Yehan, pulled Qiaoqiao and left quickly. I didn't want to stay here and be treated like a monkey!
I pulled Qiaoqiao all the way to the back of the teaching building before we stopped.
"Okay, Xiaoxian, there's no one here. Shouldn't you tell me the whole story? How come you and Dong Yehan got together in less than twelve hours after you separated?" Qiaoqiao showed a very curious look.
stop!
What does it mean to be in love? It means that he is the one-sided one who is clinging to you, okay?
Although I was still angry, I told Qiaoqiao what happened last night.
After hearing this, Qiaoqiao showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and then smiled at me teasingly: "Xiaoxian, why do I feel that Dong Hanye has taken a fancy to you?"
How can it be!
"I guess he's just in the mood for it. If he gets rejected a few more times, he'll find it boring."
No matter what he does, I won't join in!
"Okay, don't be angry. The bell is ringing, let's go to the classroom."
Qiaoqiao poked my bulging cheeks and smiled gently.
"Um."
When I got to the classroom, there was nothing unusual in the class. Fortunately, the rumor didn't spread that fast. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Qiaoqiao pulled out an invitation letter from my drawer, and the inviter was Dong Yehan again. I stuffed it back without even looking at it.
"Xiaoxian, Dong Yehan is a popular figure in the school after all, are you so determined to reject him?"
"Of course, I don't want to join the investigation team!"
"If it was a food investigation team, you would probably be the first one to rush over and join."
"That's just an assumption! By the way, Qiaoqiao, remember to cover for me after school."
"Okay." Qiaoqiao smiled sweetly and agreed.
You are worthy of being my best friend!
I finally made it to the end of the school day. I don't know if it was my illusion, but when I walked out of the classroom I felt like my classmates were looking at me. I hid behind Qiaoqiao, and just as I walked into the corridor I ran into Dong Yehan!
"Hi!"
I bit my lip, turned around and wanted to run, but before I could take a step, Dong Yehan pulled me back.
I lost my balance and fell into his arms.
Girls' screams could be heard all around.
Needless to say, just because of this "intimate contact" I have become the public enemy of girls.
"You're always so careless. Luckily I'm by your side."
Dong Yehan showed a gentle expression that could melt people's hearts, and his elegant smile immediately captured the hearts of many girls.
I didn't expect Dong Yehan to use the beauty trap again!
"Dong Yehan, I'll say it again, I won't join!"
To show my determination, my tone was very firm.
"Xiao Xian, I'll say it again, I won't give up!"
Looking at the fire burning in his eyes, I felt an ominous premonition in my heart.
"up to you."
I walked around him and left the teaching building, ignoring the girls' hostile looks.
Go back early and have a good rest, tomorrow will be another tough battle!
Sure enough, the next morning, as soon as I stepped into the school gate, I heard Dong Yehan's voice on the school radio: "Xiaoxian, I sincerely invite you to join the investigation team and discover the pure truth. With your participation, it will be more exciting."
When the broadcast started, I received a lot of cold stares.
I felt irritated. It was only the second day and if this continued, I would be driven crazy sooner or later.
"Look, that's her!"
"Ah? Gu Xiaoxian? She is not a good match for Prince Yehan at all."
"I didn't expect that she was so arrogant that she would even disdain Dong Yehan's confession!"
"No way, are you trying to marry someone better?"
"You really don't know what you are capable of. You don't even look at what you look like."
Listening to their words, I suddenly felt wronged. I bit my lips and my eyes were red. It was obviously the annoying Dong Yehan who used tricks to force me to submit and bully me. How could it be my fault?
Damn it! It's so damned!
I have to beat Dong Yehan up to vent my anger!
I took a deep breath and decided to be strong. I would not give up so easily!
"Xiaoxian, have you changed your mind today?"
Sure enough, Dong Yehan's ghost was still around and stopped me again.
"No! I will not join the investigation team."
As soon as Dong Yehan appeared, I became the focus of the school again. The small discussions around me made me feel very uncomfortable. I couldn't help but glare at him angrily, but I didn't know how to persuade him to give up, so I had to say fiercely: "Don't bother me anymore!"
"As long as you agree, I will do whatever you say."
Dong Yehan still looked gentle and focused.
Please, this is really easy to be misunderstood!
Did he do it on purpose?
Seeing a triumphant smile on the corner of his lips, I suddenly realized.
I should have guessed it earlier, I should have beaten him up!
I quickly stepped forward and pulled him to a deserted place to prevent him from saying anything misleading again. Also, it would be convenient to beat people up here!
"Xiaoxian, aren't you out of breath when you run so fast?"
A brutal force pulled me back, and I fell into a warm embrace again. The fresh lemon scent smelled very good. I pushed him away with a blushing face.
"Dong Yehan, you have been teasing me these past two days, right?"
I'm out of breath. I ran too fast just now.
"How can you say I'm teasing you? I really sincerely invite you to join the investigation team." A wicked smile appeared on Dong Yehan's handsome face.
This expression really deserves a beating!
I have a hot temper, and when I saw him like this, I raised my fist and hit him.
Unfortunately, my fist was easily blocked.
hateful!
"Xiaoxian, why are you so violent?" Dong Yehan held my hand tightly with his left hand, forced me to the wall, pressed his right hand against the wall, and leaned over to look at me with a smile in his eyes, "You can easily get hurt like this, do you know that?"
"Let me go!"
I turned my head away and sulked, because I couldn't argue with him anyway.
"Okay, don't be angry." Dong Yehan whispered in my ear with a smile, "What's wrong with joining the investigation team? You can investigate the truth behind the incident you want to know. With my help, you can check a lot of information and get a lot of help. In the process of investigation, you will find a lot of interesting things. Don't you think it's fun?"
I was slightly stunned when I heard his words.
Investigate the truth behind mysterious events?
So can I take this opportunity to investigate my brother's disappearance?
The reason I entered Hibiscus College was to find clues to my brother's disappearance. If...if...
Seeing that I was wavering, Dong Yehan continued to seduce me: "There are also different types of handsome guys joining us, you can feast your eyes."
"I'm not interested in handsome guys!" I muttered.
"Haha, Xiaoxian, you are so cute."
"Dong Yehan, if I continue to refuse, will you keep pestering me until I agree?"
Dong Yehan smiled and said: "Of course, there is nothing I cannot accomplish."
"Okay, I agree to join."
I did this, firstly so that I could investigate my brother's disappearance, and secondly because it's really annoying if he keeps pestering me like this, especially his fan club, it's simply terrifying!
"That's great!"
Dong Yehan hugged me tightly with joy.
At this moment, I could feel that he really wanted to invite me to join.
After agreeing, I felt a sense of relief.
"Come on, I'll show you around our base."
I let Dong Yehan pull me and follow behind him, led by him.
The warmth from my palm made me blush. This was my first time holding a boy’s hand…
I tried to pull away, but the grip became even tighter.
After a while, we arrived at the most beautifully decorated conference room in the school.
I stared with wide eyes at the gorgeous, spacious and modern conference room.
Under the luxurious and exquisite crystal chandelier, the spotless solid wood floor is shining, and the simple but design-filled decoration is noble. There is a large bookcase on the left side of the door, which is filled with various hardcover books. Opposite the bookcase is a set of handmade European black leather sofas, and tempting cakes are placed on the coffee table. But the most amazing thing is the three boys sitting elegantly on the sofa.
They belong to different types, some are handsome, some are cold and arrogant, and some are cute. They are like the male protagonists who walked out of comics, and any one of them will make girls scream.
The boy on the left has light blond curly hair and looks like a European prince. He has delicate skin that even magazine models would envy, a high nose bridge, pink lips, and a pair of big watery eyes as clear as lake water.
The boy in the middle looks like a domineering president described in novels. Although he has a handsome face, he exudes a cold aura, making people feel as if they will be frozen into ice if they get a little closer to him.
The boy holding a book on the right has very gentle eyebrows, delicate features, and a smile on his lips.
He leaned on the sofa with his back slightly hunched, and the cold aura of the boy in the middle seemed to be disintegrated when he was around him.
"Have you seen enough?"
Dong Yehan walked in front of me, blocking my view, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
Is he angry?
Why did you suddenly get angry? It's really inexplicable.
"snort!"
"Huh? Han, this is the girl you kindly invited to join?"
The boy with light blond curly hair walked up to me, stared at me curiously with his watery and innocent eyes, his pink lips slightly pouted, he was as cute as a boy next door, but the words he said were so infuriating.
"I didn't expect that you like such a withered girl, Han."
Damn it! Damn it!
You actually said I was shriveled? I just didn't stand up straight!
Besides, whoever said Dong Yehan likes me, please stop talking nonsense!
Suddenly, my collar was grabbed and I was pulled back a few steps, away from the cute boy. Dong Hanye's very dissatisfied voice rang out from behind me: "Xi Jicun, why are you talking so close? Xiaoxian, even though he is so cute, he is the one with the most tricks."
Xi Jicun blinked innocently and smiled, revealing his two canine teeth, looking very cute: "No."
Is he Xi Jicun? He is also one of the ideal candidates for customers who make reservations for special drinks.
"Hello."
At this time, the indifferent boy greeted me, and there was still no expression on his cold face .
Doesn't he like me?
Seeing the sharp gaze he was staring at me, I couldn't help but swallow nervously.
Seeing that I was a little scared, Dong Yehan introduced me: "Bei Jianming."
Bei Jianming just pursed his lips and said nothing.
At this time, the boy holding the book stood up and smiled at me gently. His innate elegance and gentle temperament made me feel familiar. But for some reason, I felt a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"Welcome aboard, I'm Nan Youlun."
His voice was so pleasant that I was stunned.
elder brother……
In both appearance and voice, he resembles his brother...
My brother is so gentle and elegant that people can’t help but want to rely on him and get close to him.
I couldn't help but stare at him blankly, my eyes full of surprise and desire.
"Gu Xiaoxian!"
Huh? Who is calling me so seriously?
In an instant, I came to my senses and found that everyone's eyes were on me. I was staring at Nan Youlun in a daze just now. How embarrassing!
"I'm sorry, I...I didn't mean it."
I lowered my head in bewilderment. What if Nan Youlun thought I was a brainless fan?
"Xiaoxian, don't worry about it."
Nan Youlun smiled gently and tried to comfort me kindly, but Dong Yehan was different. He actually glared at me.
"I didn't invite you here to be a fan."
He was actually mean to me? He always looked gentle before, but now his true colors are revealed. It turns out that he was just pretending.
"I didn't mean it!" I glared back at him stubbornly.
"Okay, okay, why are you guys arguing all of a sudden?"
Xi Cunji stood between us helplessly as a peacemaker.
Anyway, I have introduced everyone and I don’t want to continue the stalemate with Dong Yehan, so I might as well leave first.
"I didn't argue with him. If it's okay, I'll leave first." I waved my hand.
"What's okay? You can't leave."
Seeing that I was about to leave, Dong Yehan immediately grabbed me, his handsome face still a little dark .
"Today I am announcing the first mission."
First mission?
I guess we're not going to investigate the weird happenings on campus, that would be really boring.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Dong Yehan solemnly announced: "The first task is to investigate the true identity of the special drink chef of 'Xianyuewu'."
What?
Did I hear it wrong!
Oh my God! How could he have such a horrible idea!
No, I must stop it!
"I object! I strongly object!"
