Chapter 2 Carry You To Me 5
For several weeks afterwards, Qing Nuan was cramming her knowledge on fashion matching.
She didn't know about fashion magazines, didn't know how to match clothes, and had never learned how to put on makeup. She only knew that Cheng Ge liked the type of people like Avril Lavigne, so she always focused her efforts on Avril Lavigne's style.
Cheng Ge would like that beautiful and decadent rock singer with thick black eyeliner as long as he imitated her.
With such beautiful expectations and the New Year's money she had saved for several years, she stepped into those luxurious cosmetics stores and walked into the dazzling street of goods.
She was dressed in rustic clothes and behaved in a dazed manner. When she walked into the fashionable cosmetics store, the sales clerks didn't even bother to pay attention to her.
Qing Nuan was not angry, and carefully selected the samples in the display cabinet: liquid eyeliner, primer...
Perhaps worried that Qing Nuan would mess up the samples, the salesperson finally couldn't help but remind Qing Nuan: "This liquid eyeliner is 299 yuan, and it's a product of the famous brand Christian Dior. Girl, do you like this?"
When Qing Nuan heard the price, she was so frightened that her hands went limp. She subconsciously asked, "Why is such a small bottle so expensive?"
The salesperson smiled, with a look of contempt in his eyes, as if he had expected Qing Nuan to be unable to afford it, and said concisely: "The essence is concentrated."
Qing Nuan saw the mockery in her eyes and held her breath in her heart, feeling very unhappy. She clenched the money in her pocket, hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind and said, "I'll buy this, let me pay."
She thought, since she was going to do the makeup for Cheng Ge, she should choose good brands and good products.
She knew that since the salesperson looked down on her so much, she should learn from Xu Jiarong's spirit and use money to kill the salesperson. That would be interesting.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the courage or strength like Xu Jiarong, so she just made up her mind secretly in her heart.
After buying a few more cosmetics in a daze, Qing Nuan went to the clothing mall again.
She had little money left from her hard-earned savings, so the clothes she could choose from in the mall were limited. She was looking for a pair of ripped jeans while recalling the photo of the celebrity that Cheng Ge had shown her.
In the end, she bought the washed and distressed ripped jeans and black rock-style T-shirt she wished for.
The next day, Qing Nuan began to take action.
Qing Nuan got up early and tossed in front of the mirror for more than two hours before leaving the house uneasily.
As usual, Cheng Ge waited at Qing Nuan's doorstep to go to school with her.
Qing Nuan was excited and nervous. She slowly approached Cheng Ge's bicycle, expecting to see Cheng Ge's surprised expression. But the moment she walked in front of Cheng Ge, she found that Cheng Ge didn't recognize her at all.
He actually thought she was a passerby. He just glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and continued to lower his head and scroll through the screen of his mobile phone.
Qing Nuan looked down and saw Cheng Ge was editing a text message. The recipient shown on the message was "Qing Nuan" - herself.
The text message read: "Did you oversleep today? Get out of here quickly, or you'll be late."
Qing Nuan was helpless and patted Cheng Ge on the shoulder: "Hey, Brother Ge!"
Cheng Ge looked up and was obviously shocked when he recognized the girl in front of him as Qing Nuan. He looked at Qing Nuan with interest and said, "Miss Nuan Nuan, what are you doing? Are you attending a masquerade? I didn't recognize you just now."
In fact, it is not surprising that Cheng Ge would have such a reaction. Qing Nuan, who was originally plain-faced and pure and harmless, was looking at Cheng Ge with her two big eyes with black eye makeup. Cheng Ge would inevitably be startled.
Qing Nuan, who always wore the simplest school uniforms or old-fashioned sportswear, is now wearing retro ripped jeans, a black T-shirt with the word "Rock" printed on it, and riveted boots on his feet.
The most exaggerated thing is that she actually wore four or five rings on her hands... Four words to describe it - out of place .
Qing Nuan thought that her outfit shocked Cheng Ge, and asked with a smile: "Does it look good?"
Cheng Ge knew that he shouldn't discourage Qing Nuan, but if he really said "it looks good", he couldn't get over his conscience, so he could only answer tactfully: "Nuan Nuan, I think you are more suitable for sweet and fresh clothes. For example, there is a word called "Mori girl style", which is like that... You don't quite suit the current look. This combination looks a little strange on you..."
Qing Nuan said "Oh" in a depressed tone, feeling a little disappointed.
Brother Ge doesn't seem to be surprised.
But why doesn't he like it? Doesn't he like Avril Lavigne very much?
Thinking of this, Qing Nuan felt sad and confused.
But she still secretly encouraged herself, took a deep breath, raised her head, and said to Cheng Ge with a smile: "Okay, let's go quickly, otherwise we will be late."
Time was running out, so Cheng Ge nodded and said, "Hurry up and get in the car."
Qing Nuan got on the bike and rode away into the wind.
Qing Nuan felt that she had been unlucky all day, and the source of her bad luck was her outfit, which she thought was very beautiful.
When she got to school, although her classmates didn't say it in front of her, Qing Nuan heard the pointing and talking behind her back.
"Qing Nuan was stimulated by something, right? Hahaha, look at her like that."
"Who knows? Don't say it, she might hear it later."
Even Song Yang, who liked to bully Qing Nuan in class, kept silent in this class and stared at her suspiciously.
Qing Nuan felt uneasy and embarrassed throughout the entire class, and ran to the bathroom to wash her face after the first class.
Unfortunately, she was determined to buy high-quality cosmetics, so she bought waterproof foundation and eyeliner.
Qing Nuan kept flushing and washing her face under the faucet, rubbing her hands vigorously between her eyelids.
This scene happened to be seen by a group of classmates who were passing by.
Before I knew it, a circle of people had gathered behind the bathroom.
Cheng Ge and Luo Weiwei came over, and Song Yang and Xu Jiarong also came over.
Cheng Ge looked at Qing Nuan who was washing her face, and was deeply hurt by her aggrieved and embarrassed look. He frowned and was about to step forward to help, but it was too late.
When Cheng Ge was about to step forward to help, Song Yang on the side had already laughed coldly: "I was just wondering, what's wrong with Qing Nuan? Maybe you are planning to go to bars and nightclubs tonight. Haha, what do you think of the style of your clothes? Are you a nightclub princess?"
Song Yang did not hide the contempt in his eyes.
Qing Nuan said nothing, buried her head in the cold water, and rubbed her hands harder.
Song Yang was not willing to give in, "Ugly people are more likely to behave strangely. Do you really think that just because you dress like Avril Lavigne, you are Avril Lavigne? Forget it. There are a hundred thousand Xu Jiarongs between you and her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jiarong next to him punched Song Yang on the back.
"Say it again." Qing Nuan suddenly raised her head, with water drops still flowing on her face. The smudged eye makeup was still stuck around her eye sockets, like a funny giant panda.
Qing Nuan, who was always as docile and well-behaved as a little lamb, was clenching her fists tightly and staring at Song Yang like an angry but forbearing beast.
It was the first time that Song Yang saw her expression like this. He was moved, knowing that he might have touched her weak spot. He wanted to stop talking, but he couldn't save face, so he had to continue pretending to be nonchalant and repeated what he had just said: "I said you are ugly and you are more likely to do bad things."
Qing Nuan walked towards Song Yang with a fierce look, stood in front of him, raised her hand, and slapped Song Yang in the face without any hesitation.
"Snapped--"
Song Yang was not expecting this and was stunned for a moment.
In fact, it was not just Song Yang. Everyone present - Luo Weiwei, Xu Jiarong, and Cheng Ge - were all stunned.
Qing Nuan didn't stop there. She stared at Song Yang with a bit of an angry tone: "Whether I'm ugly or beautiful, what does it have to do with you? Why are you so nosy? Are you a neighborhood auntie? Or do you live by the sea? Or did you eat too much breakfast and have nothing to do?"
Song Yang was provoked by her, and the anger in his heart suddenly emerged. After cursing, he fought back fiercely: "Are you sick? You made yourself look like a ghost and ran to school, isn't it just for people to see? I saw it and said you were ugly, and you still refused to do it? Do you think you are the most beautiful? Do you want to be an Internet celebrity like Fengjie?"
Just as Qing Nuan was about to explode, Cheng Ge quickly stood in front of Qing Nuan.
Cheng Ge was also very angry about Song Yang's words: "Song Yang, how can you say that to a girl?"
"Oh, you're still protecting her?" Song Yang was furious when he saw Cheng Ge defending Qing Nuan. "Why, do you still want to fight with me for this ugly guy?"
Cheng Ge didn't even listen to him finish his words before he punched Song Yang in the face.
Song Yang was punched and completely enraged. He threw his baseball cap to the ground and started to wrestle with Cheng Ge.
At that time, boys were always full of vigor and vitality.
For the sake of a girl, he could fight without any scruples, and he didn't care if he was criticized in the school notice or ordered to write a thousand-word apology.
At that time, Song Yang didn't understand why he felt such inexplicable hostility towards Qing Nuan and Cheng Ge.
Regarding this answer, there is actually a very interesting online survey questionnaire for boys: "What was the most counterproductive thing you did when you were a child?"
The number one answer is: I clearly like a girl, but I deliberately make her angry every day.
Many years later, when he recalled his student days and youth, he suddenly realized: Ah, it turns out that he had fallen in love with her a long time ago.
So, how could he tolerate another boy acting as a hero in front of the girl he loved?
But Song Yang, who was just beginning to fall in love, was powerless to stop it. After all, this girl's whole mind was on someone else. So he could only tease her in class every day and laugh at her after class. If she couldn't like him, he might as well let her hate him.
This can also be regarded as a strong sense of presence.
At this time, Song Yang hadn't fully figured out what he was thinking, he just wanted to beat up Cheng Ge.
At this time, Cheng Ge was only thinking that someone had bullied his Qing Nuan and that he must be taught a lesson.
As a result, Cheng Ge and Song Yang were both beaten into pig heads by each other.
Luo Weiwei held Cheng Ge on one side, and Xu Jiarong held Song Yang on the other side, and they were barely able to separate them.
Finally, the dean of studies passed by with a sullen face and called all five of them to the Academic Affairs Office.
The end result was that all five people were criticized harshly by the dean of studies. For the fight, Cheng Ge and Song Yang each had to write a 1,000-word apology, which they also had to read on the podium when the school raised the national flag.
Qing Nuan was punished to clean the school toilets for a week because she violated school rules by openly wearing makeup and strange clothes.
At this point, Qing Nuan's plan to modify herself to attract Cheng Ge's attention came to an end and was declared a failure.
