Chapter 3: The Transparent Boy 1
The light red wall paint faded to gray due to wind and rain, the mottled wallpaper barely showed the original cherry-shaped pattern, and the old open-air iron stair handrail was covered with iron-red rust, which would stain it with a light touch of the finger. The seemingly solid stairs creaked and trembled when stepped on, and the walls were covered with dead ivy, and small insects flew by from time to time.
Can people really live here? If it is a rainy night with thunder and lightning, this place does not need any decoration at all, it is simply a living haunted house!
I stared at the three-story apartment building in front of me that seemed to be crumbling, and hesitated whether to go in.
Mi Lin is a strange guy, and the people who are close to him are also strange people.
Forget it, let's make a phone call first. If I can call Mao Ishi out, I won't have to risk my life.
I took out my cell phone and started dialing. When a long beep came from the phone, a cheerful music ringtone came from behind me. I turned around and saw a guy in a loose uniform taking out a cell phone from his bag. He had a very familiar bird's nest hair, and his hair almost covered his nose. He exuded the aura of "I am not important, I don't exist"...
No wonder Mi Lin is so good friends with him. With this appearance and a pair of glasses, isn’t he exactly “Mi Lin No. 2”?
I put my phone in my bag, took a deep breath, and walked over with a perfect and friendly smile: "Hi, hello, are you Mao Ishi?"
Mao Ishi, who was clumsily operating her phone, stopped what she was doing and looked at me.
When he saw me clearly, a familiar look of surprise flashed across his eyes, but it immediately turned into vigilance. He took a few steps back before saying, "Do you have something to ask me?"
The corners of my lips couldn't help but twitch.
What the hell is going on? Am I not the most beautiful girl in the universe? Why does this guy look at me as if he sees a poisonous snake or a ferocious beast? It is more hurtful than Mi Rin's indifference! Have I become ugly now? I really want to take out the mirror to check the truth.
No, I have to hold it in! I am Huang Yaxi, the perfect princess, how can I be shaken by the stupid behavior of a mere commoner?
I swallowed and tried to make my smile sweeter: "It's like this, I'm Huang Yaxi, the monitor of Milin's class. I have something urgent to do with him now. Do you know where he is?"
"have no idea!"
This guy completely ignored my smile, and after saying this, he quickly walked towards the haunted building.
Damn it, looking at him like this, Mi Lin must have said something to him, otherwise he wouldn’t behave like this.
But now is not the time to worry about the fact that he chose to believe Mi Lin instead of me. If I let him walk into that haunted building that I dare not even enter, wouldn’t all my efforts today be wasted?
"Please wait." I gritted my teeth, rushed over, and reached out to grab his sleeve.
He dodged to the side in panic, and just as my hand was about to fall, I suddenly stepped on something, causing my foot to slip and my whole body to fall forward involuntarily.
“Ahhh…” I screamed and closed my eyes, stretching my hands straight forward, grabbing at the air randomly and helplessly, and then it seemed like I grabbed something.
boom!
Hey, strange, I clearly fell down, why is the ground not hard at all? Not only is it not hard, it is also a little soft and warm. I couldn't help but touch it with my hand , and then I heard the sound of teeth grinding from above my head: "Have you pressed enough?"
Only then did I see clearly that I was pinning someone down. The scene just now replayed in my mind at high speed, and I immediately understood: at the critical moment just now, I used Ishi Mao as a cushion!
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." I stood up and jumped away as if I was electrocuted, and bowed 90 degrees to apologize.
"Tsk, it hurts. Ah, my hand is broken! Will I die? Will the tetanus bacteria get in and then I will slowly die? Woo, woo, I don't want that! I'm so young and I haven't even had a relationship yet, how can I die like this? Woo, my life is so miserable."
Ishi Mao, who fell to the ground, did not stand up immediately. Instead, she sat on the ground, looked at her hands, and started crying nervously.
Oh my god, an ugly boy can make such a delicate voice, it really gives me goose bumps. I really want to leave now, but I haven't heard from Mi Lin yet, so I can't leave like this.
Alas, in order to achieve my goal, I can only apologize and coax him humbly. Come on, Huang Yaxi!
I straightened up helplessly and looked at him. When I saw his face clearly, I couldn't help but hold my breath, and the words I wanted to say froze at my lips.
His flawless white skin is set with a pair of big, cute cat-like eyes. His straight nose and lips of just the right thickness are the most perfect shapes I have ever seen. There are a few short brown hairs on his head sticking up mischievously, making him look more like a silly little cute cat.
Two buttons of the boy's uniform jacket were undone, his tie was tied loosely and casually, and his trouser legs were carelessly rolled up, one higher than the other. This would look sloppy and unkempt on others, but on his slender body he looked like he was wearing the most fashionable clothes.
"Even if he wears rags, he'll look like a prince."
This thought flashed through my mind, but I regained consciousness the next second.
"Who are you? Where is Ishi Maou?" I left this overly good-looking boy and looked around in panic.
Ishi Mao, who was clearly seen before he fell, has disappeared without a trace. Could it be that he has entered the haunted building?
I picked up my bag, took out my cell phone, found Ishi Mao's phone number and called her.
Cheerful music came from the mobile phone next to the cat boy, and the boy who was crying stopped crying, picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, hello, who are you?"
I stared at him in amazement, while his voice came clearly out of the microphone of my mobile phone.
"Are you Mao Ishi?"
Someone has to be kidding me, right?
What does it mean that in the blink of an eye, an old hen turns into a duck? What does it mean that a living person is transformed? The Ishi Mao I saw just now was obviously an insignificant guy, but how come just by knocking him down, he turned from an insignificant stone into a diamond, and it was a super large first-class diamond!
Ahhh, my mind is a mess! No, I need to sort out my thoughts.
First of all, everyone said that Mao Ishi was a super ordinary person with no sense of existence and characteristics. This was very consistent with the image of Mao Ishi that I saw before she fell.
Secondly, I can be sure that he is Ishi Mao, and Ishi Mao has indeed become the super beautiful boy in front of me who would impress even a blind person.
Then, maybe when I fell just now, I happened to encounter some time-space crack, so I traveled to the so-called parallel world. In this world, there is still me and Mao Shi, but I am still me, but Mao Shi is no longer an inconspicuous ordinary existence but a super beautiful boy?
The last possibility was… Did I stumble into some prank show and participate in the filming without knowing it? But there was not even a blade of grass around except for that haunted building, so the cameraman, the camera, and other staff had nowhere to hide.
After using the process of elimination, I tentatively said stiffly, "Ishi Mao?"
The beautiful boy with cat eyes glanced at me sideways. This behavior, which is very impolite for others, looks particularly cute on him. Even I, who indulge in my own beauty every day, couldn't help but have my heartbeat speed up for a few seconds.
"Yes, I am. You've asked me several times." He stood up and brushed off the dust on his pants. It was a very rough action, but when he did it, it was pleasing to the eye and extremely elegant.
If it was an ordinary girl, she would have been obsessed to the point of losing her soul, right? Unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
I was more concerned with something than admiring his beauty: "Why did you suddenly change your appearance? Also, you are Mi Rin's friend, right? Please tell me, Mi Rin is..."
Before I finished speaking, he suddenly showed a horrified expression: "You, you, you...whose appearance did you say changed?"
"You." I took out , opened it and held it in front of him. "You are no longer the inconspicuous otaku you were just now. You are much more beautiful now."
He didn't even look in the mirror, but stared at me: "You can actually see my true face?"
What? His true face?
My heart suddenly skipped a beat: Oh no, did I accidentally discover some incredible secret?
"Why are you asking about Mi Rin? Have you discovered his secret as well?"
Ishi Mao's words were very confusing, but I still grasped the key points accurately and immediately came up with a plan.
"Haha, what do you think?" I smiled, neither admitting nor denying.
We stared into each other's eyes, and I could clearly see my reflection in his beautiful eyes, and I could see his long, thick eyelashes, like a little fan.
It's incredible that a boy is so beautiful! Fortunately, my beauty is not inferior to his, hehe.
Just as I was distracted involuntarily, he suddenly smiled: "Since you can see my true appearance, don't you have any ideas?"
I was confused by what Mao Ishi said: "Ideas? What ideas?"
He looked at my puzzled expression and suddenly laughed happily: "Great, I believe we will get along well."
Although I don't understand what happened, I don't feel at a disadvantage at all to be able to establish a good relationship with such a peerless beautiful boy.
So I smiled as well: "I believe we are friends now. By the way, Ishi Mao, do you know where Mi Rin is?"
Shi Mao rubbed his chin with his right index finger: "I don't know about this yet. This guy seems to have gotten into some trouble recently. He's been elusive all day. I couldn't find him when I wanted to go home with him. Ya Xi, you are his squad leader, and you know his secrets. You must know what kind of trouble he got into, right?"
The corners of my mouth almost twitched, but luckily I tried hard to hold back this indecent action: "Haha, of course I don't know."
In fact, I was roaring in my heart: "Mi Lin, you are so cruel! Not only are you not overjoyed that a beautiful girl like me is willing to talk to you, but you think I am a big trouble and avoid me like a snake and scorpion. It's really hateful. Humph, it turns out that Mi Lin has a secret. Just wait, once I know what the secret is, you will be dead!"
But before that, I have another question that needs to be answered urgently.
"Ishi Mao, you are so beautiful, why do you dress up to be ugly? And how did you put on makeup to change so quickly?"
