Chapter 1: The Masked Boy at Midnight 1
"Is this the Xinggong Academy, the legendary cradle of noble ladies and gentlemen? Wow, I can't believe I'm actually here!"
The sun is shining brightly and the air is filled with an intoxicating fragrance. The gorgeous carved gate wrapped in pink and white roses opens inward, and the exquisite European-style buildings are looming in the green landscape.
Men and women in elegant dark blue school uniforms walked along the Winter Jasmine Avenue of Xinggong College. Everyone had a polite and decent smile on their face, their hair and clothes were neat and tidy, and everyone walked at a leisurely pace.
Of course, in such a harmonious picture, there will always be one or two disharmonious factors.
A petite girl wearing a rustic blue and white sportswear and a pair of sneakers covered with exaggerated graffiti was looking up at the gate of Xinggong Academy with emotion. Almost everyone who passed by her could hear her constant exclamations.
"I am so touched! Even the gate of the academy is so beautiful..."
"Wow, are these my future classmates? Ah, their clothes are so pretty..."
“I’m really looking forward to it. There will definitely be more delicious food in this beautiful college!”
…
The girl who was talking had a very cute face, her hair was dark brown, shining in the sun, and looked fluffy and soft. Her eyes were black and white, her nose was straight, and her cheeks were white with a rosy glow.
Judging from her appearance alone, she was destined to be an eye-catching beauty, but her behavior at the moment and her attire revealed an aura that was out of tune with this academy.
At this moment, the girl was wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue printed with the portrait of the KFC grandfather, and she put her hands together in front of her chest, in a praying posture.
"I swear, I will work hard in Xinggong Academy and carry forward the honor of Xinde Town's big eater girl - Lin Weiya!"
“Puff——”
A girl passing by covered her mouth and laughed out loud.
"Big eater? We in Xinggong don't need someone like that." The girl's companion sneered.
"Maybe his brain is broken. No matter what, I heard that Senior Xingye Liu will attend the freshman meeting today, let's hurry up and grab a seat!"
"Ah, then my beautiful Master Qian Yuefang will show up as well? That's great..."
"Of course. The three handsome guys from the Special Management Office are always inseparable. Senior Jing Fengyin will also speak as a senior representative at the freshman meeting this time."
"I like Feng Yin-senpai too, although my favorite is still Qian Yuefang."
…
The two girls immediately put aside their mockery of the "big eater" and walked towards the venue where the freshman party was being held, chattering.
The school radio also sounded at this moment.
"Dear students, the 101st Xinggong Freshman Orientation will be held at 10 o'clock in the Fourth Auditorium. Please be on time! Everyone..."
The girl who had been the subject of much discussion before but had not noticed anything turned around at this time.
"Freshman Oration—ah, I almost forgot about that!"
"Hey, wait for me, the beauties in front——"
The blue and white figure rushed into the gate like a whirlwind.
11:59 am, Xinggong Fourth Auditorium.
The fresh and charming fragrance of lily of the valley drifts away with the breeze. On the lush albizzia trees, the flowers, like small pink fans, pile up like clouds.
“Freshman Oration is really tiring.”
The girl in the blue and white sportswear, that is, me, Lin Weiya, yawned, stretched lazily in my seat, and wiped the corners of my mouth - hehe, I didn't drool this time.
That’s right, I fell asleep at the freshman orientation again.
You have to know that it takes me an hour and a half by bus to get from Xinde Town to Xinggong College, then a one-hour flight, and then two subway changes.
As the first person in Xinde Town to be admitted to such a famous academy as Xinggong in more than ten years, it was certainly not easy for me. Therefore, as soon as I arrived at the venue and found a seat that would not attract attention, I very readily allowed myself to "rest" for a while.
I stood up and found that most people in the venue had left, so I hurriedly followed them out. However, as soon as I walked out of the corridor, I was frightened by the surging crowd.
"Ah, Senior Xingye Liu!"
"Senior Fengyin, look here, look at me..."
A group of beautifully dressed girls were waving flowers, pink five-pointed star glow sticks, colorful banners, and strange human-shaped dolls in their hands. Their cheeks were flushed and they were shouting something excitedly. There was also a group of people wearing T-shirts with star patterns or wearing exaggerated star hair accessories on their heads.
Why is it so lively?
I grabbed a girl next to me who had a pink butterfly hairpin in her hair and asked, "Excuse me, isn't the freshman orientation over? Why are you all still gathered here?"
The girl I held glared at me with dissatisfaction at first, then after seeing my appearance clearly, she was slightly stunned and asked, "Are you new here?"
"Haha, is it so obvious? Hello, classmate. My name is Wei Ya, and I'm a freshman. Aren't the people here freshmen?"
I laughed, blinked, and asked curiously.
"I mean, you should have been selected from other academies, right? The students who were promoted from junior to senior students at Xinggong headquarters would not be as ignorant as you." "Pink Butterfly" said proudly.
"Huh?" I didn't understand the situation at all and looked at her with blinking eyes.
"Now these people are all here to watch the handsome guys! The three most famous handsome guys in Xinggong! Look, the one surrounded by fans over there is——"
Following her fingers, I could only see a head with chestnut hair through the gaps between the three layers of girls inside and outside.
"How is he? Isn't he handsome? Senior Xingye Liu is the most handsome man in Xinggong that I have been dreaming about! He is one of the heirs of the Xinggong Group this generation. He has a male model-level figure and handsome features. He is also very smart. He often gets full marks in sports, English, and mathematics. He can also play the piano and violin..."
Pink Butterfly looked at Xing Yeliu in ecstasy, talking in ecstasy. I couldn't see what that guy looked like at all, so I just nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, it's good."
That chestnut hair shining in the sun looks like the most delicious chestnut cake in autumn. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
"Haha, new classmate, you have good taste! How about this, how about you join our Night Star Fan Club and become a loyal fan of Xing Ye Liu?"
"Pink Butterfly" happily took my arm.
"Fans club?" I wanted to say I wasn't interested, but seeing Pink Butterfly's enthusiasm, I swallowed my words and said, "Does your fans club provide delicious food?"
If so, it's okay to join.
"Oh my, Senior Xingye Liu's beauty is the supreme delicacy for us, the Night Star Fan Club!"
"Well... let's not do that! Thank you, Pink Butterfly!" I smiled and pulled away the arm that was hugged by "Pink Butterfly", waved at her, and politely refused.
Different road non-phase plan.
For me, delicious food is a thousand times more important than beautiful women.
How can we confuse delicious food with beauty? It doesn’t matter if a person doesn’t have beauty to accompany him, but how pale would life be without delicious food!
"Hey, my name is not Pink Butterfly! You should think about it. If you look at the photos of Senior Xingye Liu, you will definitely be fascinated by him..."
"Pink Butterfly" took out a photo and chased after me.
"No, you keep it, I still--"
I waved my hands and tried to find an exit from the dense crowd in front of me. Unexpectedly, I didn't know what happened in the center of the crowd, and the fans suddenly became agitated.
"Ah, has it been signed? Has Senior Xingye Liu finally signed ?"
"Hurry up and get in line! It's right over there. Today is the only day you can get an autograph!"
"Don't block me! Only the luckiest twenty people can get autographs! Get out of the way, the autographed photo is mine!"
…
"Wait a minute, let me go out first—"
In the crowded crowd, I was pushed in the opposite direction; and in front of me, the "Pink Butterfly" who insisted on getting me to join the fan club finally forcefully stuffed the photo into my hands.
“Join the Night Star Fan Club! You won’t regret it!” “Pink Butterfly” said, patted my shoulder happily, and then joined the army of fans scrambling for autographs.
"No, wait—"
I wanted to return the burning photo, and finally struggled to free myself, but stumbled forward due to inertia.
At the same time, a girl who passed by me bumped into my hand, and the photo fell from my hand.
“Pah—”
My foot landed on it.
"Sorry, I'll pick it up for you."
The girl who accidentally bumped into me said this and leaned over hurriedly.
"Ah, thank you—"
It seems that there are still many polite people in Xinggong Academy! I thanked him and removed my foot from the photo.
The girl who said she would help me pick up something squatted down and then there was no movement. I bent down hesitantly, but the girl just stood up and hit my face hard with her head.
"ah--"
“Ahhh—”
The voice louder than mine, who was covering her face and screaming in pain, was that of the girl who was trembling all over, holding the photo and looking up at me.
Her face was originally very cute, but at this moment, her expression became very distorted, and her eyes shot at me like a cold arrow, saying: "You actually stepped on Senior Xingye Liu's photo!"
"I did not do it on purpose!"
I looked at the photo in the other person's hand that seemed to be blurred, and without caring about the pain on my face, I shook my head to explain.
"Your behavior is a disrespect to all of us in the Night Star Fan Club!" The girl's voice suddenly rose. "As a member of the Night Star Fan Club, everyone would treasure the photo of Senior Xingye Liu like a treasure, and you actually stepped on the handsome face of my Senior Xingye Liu with your foot..."
Wait, I just stepped on a photo, didn't I? How did I disrespect their fan club? How did I step on their senior Xingye Liu's face?
"It was just an accident..."
It's just a photo!
But I completely underestimated the popularity and influence of that guy named "Xing Ye Liu" in Xinggong Academy.
"There's a traitor here!"
"Wait, classmate, listen to me..."
But my voice was drowned out by the girl's screams. Instantly, the people around me were attracted by her. After seeing the horrible photo in the girl's hand, the eyes they looked at me were no longer friendly.
"She is not a member of our Night Star Fan Club!"
"How dare you treat our senior Xingye Liu's photo like this!"
"Senior Xingye Liu's handsome face was stepped on by her with such terrible footprints, wuwuwu, my heart hurts so much..."
Things don't seem to be going well.
When I was in Xinde Town, the dean of Xinde College once gave me this "compliment":
"Viya, you have the appetite of a wild boar, the sense of smell of a hound, and the alertness of a wolf. So, no matter what problems you encounter, don't be afraid, use your natural intuition to deal with them!"
My wolf-like intuition kicked in at this moment.
It told me that if I didn't leave within 0.01 seconds, I would be torn to pieces by this group of girls who had completely lost their minds.
I made a prompt decision and pointed my hand at the chestnut-haired guy behind the crowd: "Ah, Xing Yeliu actually took off his clothes!"
The group of girls who were surrounding me with eager eyes seemed to have been silenced collectively, and they all turned their heads away.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I snatched the "evidence" from the girl in front of me and ran away.
"Where? Where?"
"Why is Senior Xingye Liu missing too?"
"Ahhh, I've been fooled! Catch the liar!"
