Chapter 3 Am I really half-blood? 3
When I got home in the evening, I sprayed my parents with forget-me-not water while they were not paying attention, and then carefully asked them about what happened yesterday. As a result, my parents gave me a blank look.
"What happened? It's just like any other day." Mom picked up some food for me and looked at Dad in confusion, "Did you sneak out to the balcony to smoke when I wasn't paying attention?"
"No, no, right, Qiqi, Dad is just like Qiqi, he listens to mom the most." Dad immediately shook his head and winked at me for support. Well, I am the kindest daughter in the world.
"Yes, Mom, Dad was very good yesterday. He didn't touch the cigarette at all."
"People say that a daughter is her mother's warm and cozy little cotton-padded jacket, but the one in my daughter's house is just a protective vest for her father! Alas!" My mother glared at me and my father in pretended anger and lamented in a pretentious manner.
My dad and I quickly and obediently walked forward and each held one of my mother's arms: "Mom, we love you the most!" After saying that, the three of us laughed happily at the same time.
Great, my life is back to normal for now.
But just as I was immersed in the happiness of regaining peace, the tragic reality soon told me: I was just overthinking everything.
“What…what is this?”
The next day, in a quiet corner of the school playground, I raised my eyebrows and looked at the beautiful boy in front of me with a puzzled look, holding a thermos cup and a mysterious face.
"Qiqi, this is your breakfast. I got up early to prepare it for you. It's still hot. Eat it while it's fresh." Lagude looked at me flatteringly and said.
Well--
I really wanted to reject this guy, but when I looked at his almost bloodless face and his bright dark eyes looking at me with expectation, I couldn't say the words that came to my lips.
This guy, he is obviously malnourished and looks weak. It would be fine if he didn't rest and eat well, but why did he get up so early and prepare breakfast for me?
"Did you eat it yourself?" I asked unhappily.
"I've eaten, I've eaten. Thank you, Qiqi, for your concern." Lagude pulled the corner of his mouth and gave me an exaggerated smile.
I pursed my lips: I was just asking casually, do I need to be so happy?
"Of course I'm happy. This is the first time that Kiki cares about me, and it's also the first time that someone cares about me!" Lagood replied happily, as if he had heard the complaints in my heart.
This was the first time someone cared about me... What did this guy mean? I wanted to ask, but I was afraid that the answer would make it even harder for me to reject him.
Forget it, forget it, he and I are not that familiar with each other, why should I ask about his private affairs!
I took the thermos from Lagude's hand, and as soon as I opened it, I smelled a strong smell of blood.
"What, what is this?" I felt an unbearable urge rising up in my body, and I quickly stuffed the thermos cup back into Lagude's arms, "You, you, you - what is this you gave me?"
"This is blood. I just drew blood from my body this morning. It's still very fresh!" Lagude stuffed the thermos cup into my hand again, "Qiqi, drink it quickly. You haven't eaten for a whole day and night. You must be very hungry."
"Who said I didn't eat? I had the buns my mother made in the morning - wait, what do you mean by not having food for a day and a night?" I looked at Lagood in horror: No, no, I sprayed a lot of Forget-Me-Not water on this guy's face yesterday, he should have forgotten everything.
"Qiqi, I know it's hard for you to accept your change. After all, it's really hard to accept that you've changed from a normal human to a half-blood." Lagude patted my head gently and said in a very gentle tone, "But don't worry, since I know your secret and you like my blood so much, from today on, I will take care of you."
He really remembered everything, and didn't forget anything...
How could this happen? My parents forgot everything after they sprayed the Forget Worry Water on me, so why is it that this guy has no effect at all?
"You, you, you - you remember what happened in the infirmary the day before yesterday?" I asked unwillingly.
"Of course, how could I forget that I was shocked by Kiki's boldness that day!" Lagude said with a smile.
If a passerby heard this, he might misunderstand it to the ends of the earth!
"Impossible, I have to go find Mr. Akashi." I turned around quickly and ran towards the teacher's office: as long as I find Mr. Akashi, he will definitely have a way to solve the problem of the Forget-Your-Worry Water becoming ineffective. After all, this treasure was given to me by him!
"What's wrong? Qiqi, why did you suddenly run away?" Lagude shouted and chased after him, "Qiqi, breakfast, eat breakfast first."
"Lagude, shut up!" The word "breakfast" gave me a headache for a while. I couldn't help but turn around and yell at him.
"But, but..." Lagude looked at me aggrievedly, "This breakfast really cost me a lot of blood, Qiqi, are you sure you don't want to drink it?"
I was speechless and continued running, praying silently in my heart that the weird uncle Mr. Akashi was in the teacher's office at that moment.
"Qiqi, wait for me!" Seeing that I didn't stop, Lagude had to stumble and catch up.
"Lagude, go back to the classroom and stop chasing me." I ran and shouted back.
It was the morning rush hour, and although there were few students who took the detour to the playground to go to the classroom, it definitely did not mean that there were none. The scene of Lagude and I, the girl running and the boy chasing, plus the loud shouting, soon attracted the attention of several classmates.
"Look, this is the couple that is rumored to be having a scandal in school!"
"Yes, at this early hour in the morning, what love legend will these two add to our lives?"
…
"Hey, that Lagude, right? Come on, strive for success today!"
"What do you mean by success in pursuit? I've already entered the proposal stage!"
…
"You called Qiqi, don't run so fast!"
"Yes, yes, Lagude is a good man, just agree to it!"
…
"Catch up with her, catch up with her, catch up with her..."
"Promise, promise, promise..."
…
I shook my head, tried hard not to listen to the noises around me, and ran out of the playground, down the escalator of the boulevard, and soon I would reach the building where the teachers' offices were. But at this moment -
"Qiqi——" Lagude's panicked scream rang out.
I turned around and saw that Lagood, whose already unbalanced body was suddenly staggering as he hurried down the stairs. He was trying to protect the thermos in his arms, so tragedy was inevitable.
"Ah——" There were screams of girls all around.
I stared with my mouth wide open, watching the guy tumbling down the stairs.
"La Gud!" Although my brain went into strike due to confusion, fortunately, my body reacted in time at that moment. I rushed over quickly, half squatted down, then opened my arms and accurately caught the person who was rolling down in my arms.
"Ah——" There was another burst of screams from girls all around.
"What a perfect princess hug!"
“How romantic!”
"If I could be hugged by the prince like this, a fall wouldn't matter."
…I am so confused. Ladies and gentlemen, although I feel a little confused about my roles at this moment, the unchangeable fact is that I am a girl! A girl!
"Qiqi, you saved me!" Lagude came to his senses from the dizziness, opened his eyes, and when he saw me, he immediately showed a very bright smile, "Qiqi!"
The rising tone of voice calling my name instantly dispelled all my anger.
I looked at him unhappily. I didn't want to comfort him, but I couldn't get angry either. So I could only stare at him like this.
"Look, the two of them are looking at each other affectionately!"
"Yes, yes, it's even more romantic than a fairy tale!"
Fortunately, there were many gossiping boys and girls around, chattering excitedly, and they quickly brought me back to my senses. Suddenly, the temperature on my face rose.
"Well, um, come down quickly." I said as I put Lagood down from my arms.
"Qiqi, you saved me again. I'm so happy." As soon as Lagood got down from my arms, he immediately reached out and hugged me tightly.
"Lagude!" Doesn't this guy think the scene is chaotic enough? Does he have to add some entertainment to everyone at this time?
"Qiqi, I'm so happy. I knew you wouldn't really abandon me. I knew that you actually liked me in your heart. Qiqi, Qiqi, I'm really happy." Lagood hugged me and jumped and shouted.
"Lagude, let me go." I was confused as I looked at this guy's inexplicable excitement. Was I dazzled? Did this guy just fall down the stairs? Normally, shouldn't he be crying and screaming in pain?
"Qiqi, this must be the legendary true love in times of adversity. Woo woo woo... I'm so touched, Qiqi, please marry me." Lagude "obediently" let me go, but the next second, he unexpectedly took out the ring again, knelt down on the spot and proposed to me again.
Ah... I screamed .
"Ah..." The girls around couldn't help but scream.
"Promise him! Promise him! Promise him! Promise him!" No one knew who in the crowd said that first, and then all the boys started shouting. A few girls followed suit, but most of the girls stood aside, unwilling to agree.
"Qiqi, Lagude, you two - you -" A familiar voice came behind us through all the gossip.
"It turns out that the rumors in school are true. You two really have this kind of relationship!" Teacher Akashi came over with a smile, looked at me, then looked at Lagood, "Haha, the young people nowadays are amazing!"
I turned around and looked at the smiling Mr. Akashi: As a teacher, don't you think that in this situation, you should quickly send the students back to the classroom and end this farce? Why do you look so interested in watching a gossip show?
"No! Teacher! It's not what you see." I felt that if I didn't explain, more versions of the scandal between me and Lagood would definitely spread in the school tomorrow.
"This guy and I have nothing at all. We are not boyfriend and girlfriend, and we haven't progressed to the point of proposing. The day before yesterday was just the first day we met! Really! If you don't believe me, ask this guy--" I pulled Lagood over, and was about to get him to speak and explain to everyone.
Who would have thought that the guy who was originally standing well, would fall into my arms when I pulled him.
"Qiqi, I seem... a little dizzy." Lagude smiled at me weakly, and before he finished speaking, he fainted in my arms.
I stared blankly at the guy in my arms: "Hey, Lagude!"
If you were going to faint, why didn't you do it right away? As a reaction to falling down the stairs, it was natural and reasonable for you to faint at that time! Why did you choose this moment? Even if it was three seconds later, it would be fine to faint after answering my question. In that case, at least people wouldn't look at me as if I were gossiping about you!
"Teacher, I really didn't have anything to do with him..." I looked at Mr. Akashi helplessly, struggling to give up the great opportunity to explain. Unexpectedly, Mr. Akashi came forward and patted my shoulder sympathetically.
"Qiqi, I sympathize with you for having such a boyfriend, but for all his nonsensical reactions and behaviors, I can only express my spiritual sympathy to you." Teacher Akashi said apologetically.
I stared at him blankly for a long time before I managed to utter two dry words: "Thank you, thank you."
It seems that all the explanations are in vain, but! At least I have gained some sympathy points...
Uncle God, the world today is full of malice towards me...
