Chapter 3: Gem Star with Strange Thoughts 3
Fortunately, the senior student was a kind person. In the end, she overcame her disgust for the stench and worked together with me to move the pot of stinky flowers out of the teaching building.
However, wherever we passed along the way, everyone stayed away from us as if they had seen the plague god. Some people even ran to the trash cans and vomited. The entire campus was in a panic about the stench.
When we finally threw the flowers into the garbage dump in the corner of the school, both my senior sister Qianqian and I were covered in stench from head to toe.
With resentment, I angrily recounted what had happened.
The former senior who knew the truth laughed extremely exaggeratedly: "Hahaha! Norn, it's actually Norn! Hahaha! He is so cute, he actually came up with such a dirty trick...hahaha!"
I was speechless as I watched Senior Qianqian blushing with laughter. I couldn't understand how Norn had anything to do with the word "cute".
Cute? Or hateful!
I silently retorted in my mind.
As for why I refuted in my heart, I’m sorry, because I no longer have the energy to speak. I’m so tired!
Because of this series of events, it was not until I parted with my senior sister that I remembered that I forgot to ask her about Norn’s true identity.
However, this is no longer important. Since this is a matter between Norn and me, I naturally need to solve it myself. I don't believe that with my understanding of alien civilizations, I can't catch Norn's fox tail, humph!
In short, I must expose his true colors in front of all the students in the school!
I kept my word. In the following days, I became as excited as if I had been injected with chicken blood, and began to pay close attention to Norn everywhere.
But I didn't even need to look for opportunities. That guy seemed to be determined to confront me. Wherever I appeared, he would appear right after me in less than a minute.
Moreover, every time he came, some inexplicable things would always appear around me, either rare gems or priceless works of art. Sometimes he would mischievously throw me a big piece of fragrant braised pork, with an expression that said, "Are you scared? Beg for mercy now."
I'm really overwhelmed by this guy. How can his brain circuits be so convoluted? How on earth did he survive?
Finally, when he appeared during the break again and successfully trapped me in a hidden corner of the teaching building, I stared at the handful of gems of unknown kinds that he handed over, and suddenly pounced on him and grabbed his hand.
"Haha! I finally caught you! Let's see how you can use the portal again!" I shook my head proudly, and then asked loudly in front of his stiff expression, "Tell me! Where are you from? Are you from Earth?"
But what happened to this person in front of me? Why did he suddenly look like he was about to faint? And his face was red, even his neck and ears were red. Was he too angry?
That shouldn't make you so angry, right?
"Hey, you...let me go!"
The next second he stuttered, and his tone was obviously fierce, but with his rosy cheeks and long eyelashes that fluttered like butterfly wings, he looked cute no matter how you looked at him.
Huh? Cute? Why do I think he's cute? He should be hateful, right?
Thinking of this, I immediately adjusted my mood and fought back in a rough voice: "If you don't tell me clearly who you are, don't even think about letting me let you go!"
After saying that, I held his hand even tighter, and in order to prevent him from running away, I even held his entire arm in my arms.
However, this made the distance between us negligible, and Norn's face, which had just been flushed, quickly turned as red as a ripe tomato, and his whole body became as stiff as a perfect wax figure.
What's wrong with him? Why is he so weird? He doesn't look angry. His face is so red, could it be...
shy?
An impossible thought came to my mind.
"You...you...I don't know what you are talking about!" Before I could figure it out, Norn suddenly struggled violently, and he yelled while struggling, "Hurry...hurry and let me go!"
Huh? The more I look at them, the more they look alike!
A strange feeling suddenly surged in my heart, and the temperature on my face seemed to rise slowly.
Just when I was distracted, Norn struggled to break free, then turned around and tried to run away as if he was avoiding the plague.
How can this be? He hasn't even answered my question yet!
I anxiously wanted to rush up and catch him again, but his movements were so fast that he ran two meters away in the blink of an eye.
If I let you slip away again this time, I will no longer be called Bai Jie Ni!
Since you refuse to tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude!
Watching him fleeing in panic, I smiled cunningly, then gathered my strength and shouted , "Hey! Come and see! Senior Norn is here!"
“Hua La La—”
Suddenly, there was an earthquake-like sound of footsteps in the originally quiet corridor, and a large group of fanatical fans quickly appeared.
It happened in a flash. Before Norn could recover from his shock, I rushed over and pushed him hard with both hands.
"Wow! It really is Senior Norn, I didn't hear it wrong!"
"Oh my god! Why did the senior appear in front of our classroom? Is he here to see me?"
"No way! Didn't you see that the senior was looking in my direction? Ah! My heart is beating so fast, why did happiness come so suddenly?"
"Don't block the way! I can't see you, Senior!"
…
In everyone's view, the god-like boy stood in the corridor. The sun shone on his breathtakingly beautiful face, outlining a dazzling halo. His enchanting blue eyes were wide open, his long silver hair danced in the wind, and his whole body exuded a stunning beauty.
Yes, it was shocking. However, I was the only one who knew that he must be terrified now, haha!
I covered my mouth and laughed silently, the gloating in my heart almost bubbling.
I'll let you create trouble for me! I'll let you open any door! I'll let you ruin my school life! Go ahead! If you have the guts, open your any door in front of everyone!
I took one last look at the figure surrounded by the crowd, chuckled in my heart, and turned to go downstairs. But after just two steps, I couldn't move my legs anymore.
Ahhh! Can anyone tell me how many bad things I did in my previous life to always be caught in the act in this life!
On the stairs less than ten steps away from me, Yao Shanshan stood there with a grim look in her eyes, her light pink lips tightly pursed into a line. Behind the thick lenses, her big brown eyes were like two high-intensity searchlights, shone bright light at me "whoosh", and she looked like she would immediately rush up and execute me on the spot.
Sorry, my legs are so weak.
"Senior sister..." I heard a voice not much louder than a cat's meow coming out of my throat, but the next moment, it was drowned out by the other party's powerful aura.
"Bai Jie Ni! On behalf of the Student Union, I am here to formally inform you that due to your poor performance since entering school, you have been included in the Student Union's blacklist for key supervision. Please take care of yourself!"
A cold voice that seemed to have been soaked in the deepest Arctic seabed hit me in the face, and I shivered with cold. But my remaining courage and reason told me that I must make it clear to her this time. I don't want to live under surveillance!
"Senior!" With a painful expression on my face, I rushed over and grabbed Yao Shanshan's sleeve. "Really don't blame me, it's all because of that guy Norn. He's always looking for trouble. I'm innocent! I..."
"Innocent?" Yao Shanshan didn't even frown when she heard my accusation. Her arrow-like eyes swept over my hand that was holding her sleeve, and I immediately retracted my hand in fear. Then she poured cold water even colder than before on my head, "It seems that you haven't realized your mistake yet. Do you think I can do nothing if you put everything on the study group members? Who gave you the courage? Huh?"
The sharp words provoked me to subconsciously retort: "I didn't!"
"If I say you have it, then you have it! Do you dare to question my words?"
Facing Yao Shanshan's almost murderous gaze, a surge of anger suddenly arose in my chest.
Why! Why is it always my fault? I just want to study quietly at Ailey College for a few years. Who have I offended?
At this moment, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out, and I yelled at the top of my voice: "Senior sister, if you want to punish me and put me on the blacklist, there must be a reason. I don't accept this indiscriminate conclusion!"
“I don’t accept it—I don’t accept it—”
My voice seemed to echo in the narrow stairwell, and the noisy corridor behind me also became quiet. I turned around and found that the crazy girls who were as excited as boiling water just now all showed dull looks on their faces, and then I don’t know who took the lead, and the crowd suddenly dispersed, but they refused to leave, hiding in the corners, staring with curious eyes and paying attention to the movements here.
As the crowd dispersed, Norn, who had been surrounded just now, finally came out. When I looked over, I met his surprised eyes, and it seemed that he wanted to say something.
Humph! What can I say? It must be some words to stab someone when he is down! I must be so unlucky to have met him!
However, before Norn spoke, Yao Shanshan spoke again. Unlike her cold voice just now, the look she gave him this time was as if she was looking at an insignificant ant.
"My words are the conclusion of the student union. Please keep any objections you have, because -" She raised her eyebrows slightly, with disgust flashing in her eyes, "You are not qualified to question my decision, let alone interfere with my behavior. All you can do is behave yourself!"
After saying that, she turned her proud back to me like a proud peacock, and left everyone stunned.
"How terrible! Anyone who messes with Yao Shanshan is dead!"
"This Bai Jie Ni is so unlucky. Somehow, she always runs into Yao Shan Shan's trap!"
"Oh! If I were her, I would really want to bang my head against the wall!"
…
Listening to the whispers behind me, a feeling of resentment welled up from the bottom of my heart, and then my nose was sore, and I turned back and glared at Norn who had already broken through the crowd. A trace of worry flashed across his face, and his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but -
If it weren't for him, how could I have ended up like this! I don't want to see him again, I don't want to appear in front of everyone again, I want to find a place to cry my heart out!
“Wow… wow wow wow…”
Ten minutes later, I hid on the rooftop of the teaching building and cried loudly, scaring away a few birds resting on the rooftop, flapping their wings.
“Wow… wow wow wow…”
I felt even sadder. Even the birds despised me. Am I living in this world just to explain how to write the word "unlucky"?
The class downstairs should have already started, but I don’t care. I’ve already been late twice, why should I care about missing one more class? Anyway, I, Bai Jie Ni, just want to vent now! Vent!
“Wow… wow wow wow…”
The crying became louder and louder, and I sat down on the ground, buried my head in my arms, and imagined that I was the only one in the world.
I have no parents, no friends, and I am the only one in the entire Ailey Academy. Even when it rains, no one comes to pick me up! Ailey Academy is just not a place for me, right?
I don’t know how long I cried, but I didn’t stop until my voice was hoarse, but my loud crying turned into soft sobbing.
Crying is very exhausting. I felt like I was hungry from crying so much.
I was just wondering whether to continue crying, when a lazy voice suddenly came from behind the water tower next to me: "Go down when you've cried enough. You kept me awake for so long."
"Ah? Who's there?" I was sobbing and choked all of a sudden. Then when I exhaled, I started to hiccup out of surprise.
How could someone be here? When did he come? Did he see me crying just now ?
Accompanied by incessant hiccups, I jumped up from the ground, not even bothering to brush off the dust on my body, and walked to the other side of the water tower as fast as I could.
No! I must see clearly who this person is, and then threaten him not to tell anyone about what happened today, otherwise...
By the time I finally saw what was behind the water tower, all the threats were gone from my mouth.
As a weak girl, who would have the courage to threaten a boy who is over 180 cm tall?
What's more, this boy looks so... um... how to describe it?
Alternative?
Yes, alternative!
I never thought that in an elite school like Ailey Academy, there would be such an alternative boy. He didn't wear the school uniform, but a pure black loose motorcycle suit, and hung... one, two, three... a total of seven glittering silver chains on his body. And he sat there, his long legs casually crossed, and his whole body leaned against the water tower behind him as if he had no bones, giving people a bohemian feeling.
"Have you seen enough?" A teasing voice came into my ears.
“No.” I answered subconsciously. When I realized what I had said, my face quickly turned red and I began to stutter. “I’m… I’m sorry, hiccup… I didn’t… I didn’t mean that… hiccup…”
The more anxious I get, the more severe my hiccups become. I don’t need to measure to know that the temperature of my face is enough to fry eggs.
It's so embarrassing.
"Huh? That's quite interesting!" What people didn't expect was that he didn't seem to be offended at all. He didn't even change his posture. He just closed his eyes slightly and said, "Let's go after you finish watching. I still need to go back to sleep."
Without the gaze of those frighteningly bright eyes, I finally felt my breathing become smoother, the hiccups miraculously stopped, and I even had the courage to look at the boy's face.
I didn’t know until I saw it. At first glance, I found that this boy was quite handsome.
His black hair that reached his eyebrows hung casually on his forehead. His eyes, which revealed a cynical look, were slightly closed at the moment. His thick eyelashes carried a lazy feeling just like him. His clean skin was flawless, and even his pores were so delicate that they could be ignored. His lips, which were fully outlined, were shiny and rosy, yet had an indescribable stubborn curve.
The most eye-catching thing is that on his left ear, which is exposed under his fine hair, there is a green diamond earring lying there quietly. When a gust of wind blows, the earring flashes an emerald green light against the backdrop of his black hair, and then is quickly covered by the hair.
Is this boy really a student of Ailey College?
"Of course I'm a student of Avery College, and I know you, classmate Bai Jie Ni!"
Huh? It wasn't until I heard that teasing voice again that I realized I had just spoken out my doubts.
It was so embarrassing that I questioned someone and was heard by the person involved. I quickly bowed my head and apologized: "I'm sorry, I..."
"You've apologized twice Am I that scary?" The boy shook his head and finally moved his body. He opened his bright eyes, but his voice still sounded lazy: "Let me introduce myself. I'm Ai Kaiqi from Class 4, Grade 1. Nice to meet you, Bai Jieni, the student targeted by the Student Union."
"You..." Hearing him say that, I felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but mutter, "I didn't want to be targeted by the student union!"
"Of course you don't want to!" The boy who called himself Ai Keqi raised one eyebrow and patted the empty seat next to him. "Come on, I can't sleep anyway. It's such a nice day. Let's chat. Tell me what's bothering you, so that I can cheer up!"
Although his words were really unpleasant to hear, for some reason, I didn't get angry. Instead, I actually sat down next to him and told him all the bad things that had happened to me in the past few days.
Of course, I will not comment on the speculation that the Norns might be aliens until it is confirmed.
"Tell me, it's obviously not my fault, why does the student council always pick on me? Do I look so easy to bully?"
I made the final summary in a huff, and then looked at Ai Keqi, who was listening with great interest, hoping that he would say something fair.
However, thirty seconds passed, and then a minute passed...
It was not until the minute hand on my watch had made two full revolutions that Aikaiqi, who seemed to have been listening to me carefully, opened his mouth, and then -
He yawned loudly!
"I'm so sleepy!" He blinked his watery eyes, then patted my shoulder nonchalantly, "Hey, what you said is actually not a big deal, just take it easy! Besides, although they made the rules, can't you just break them?"
After saying that, he never looked at me again. He closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep quickly.
me……
I couldn't catch my breath and almost fainted.
I actually believed that this careless guy could comfort people. It seems that there is really something wrong with my brain.
I shook my head and stood up from Aikechi's side.
Never mind. We are not close anyway. It is good enough that he can listen to me for a long time. However——
"Um..." I hesitated and squatted down again, then reached out and carefully shook Ai Keqi's arm. When he opened his eyes and looked at me in confusion, I awkwardly retracted my hand and touched my nose: "Can you please not tell anyone about what happened today?"
After saying that, I stared at him closely, hoping that he could give me a positive answer.
No matter what, I was so embarrassed just now. If other people knew about this, I would definitely not be able to stay in Avery College anymore.
"You think too much." Ai Keqi shrugged nonchalantly. "I don't like those pretentious guys in the academy. Compared to them, you are more to my taste."
After saying that, he closed his eyes and went to sleep again.
“Um…thank…thank you!”
I bowed to him in gratitude.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't say a word, as if he had really fallen asleep.
I walked past him quietly, and took one last look at his expression which seemed to care nothing at all. Suddenly, I felt my messy heart gradually calm down.
Although this guy looks a bit weird, he actually has a good heart!
At the last second before leaving the rooftop, I looked up at the sky above me and took a deep breath.
The time of escape and cowardice is over. I am back on the battlefield that belongs to me, Bai Jie Ni!
