Chapter 3: The Transparent Boy 2
Above the rooftop paved with white slabs is a blue sky with white clouds floating slowly. The wind brings the fragrance of kapok flowers, which is refreshing and pleasant.
I stood on the rooftop with my back against the orange railing, flipping through the world classic "The Sorrows of Young Werther". Although I seemed leisurely, I was actually impatient to wait.
Just when I decided to send a text message to ask, a familiar figure walked out from the rooftop door.
Looking at the messy bird's nest hair and long hair, in order not to hurt my eyes further, I quickly touched his sleeve when he walked to me.
One second later, the ugly guy turned into a beautiful boy, perfect.
Even though I've seen it several times, I'm still amazed by this magical transformation.
Ever since I accidentally revealed Ishi Mao's true appearance last week, the door to a new world has suddenly opened.
It turns out that there really is a young man as beautiful as Narcissus in the world.
It turns out that there are that have incredible power.
For example, the thing that can completely change your appearance and temperament is actually a piece of inconspicuous white toilet paper.
"It's so magical! No matter how I look at it, I think it's just an ordinary piece of toilet paper." I turned the "toilet paper" in my hand over and over again and even smelled it curiously.
Mm, there is also a light lemon scent.
Ishi Mao stretched out his slender index finger and shook it quickly: "You have seen its effect with your own eyes, don't be fooled by its appearance. You have also seen my face, right?" He said with some distress, "From childhood to adulthood, countless people have been crazy about me because of my appearance."
His words resonated deeply with me: "I understand. I understand too well. From childhood to adulthood, there are so many people who like me. Because I am so cute, I have been kidnapped, but in the end they did not hurt me. Instead, they sent me back home."
Shi Mao opened her eyes wide and said enviously, "You are so lucky. Alas, I am not as lucky as you. Because I have encountered too many bad things, I now have severe phobia of women and am particularly afraid that others will like me."
I couldn't help but interrupt him: "Then why aren't you afraid of me?"
"This..." After thinking for a while, Shi Mao frowned and said hesitantly, "Maybe it's because you don't like me, so I don't think of you as a woman at all?"
Ahhhh, I'm so mad!
How can a beautiful, lovely, elegant and generous girl like me not be feminine?
Seeing that I pursed my lips and looked at him without saying anything, Shi Zhenyang quickly changed the topic: "No, no, what I mean is that you are not like others who fall into a crazy obsession when they see me, so you make me feel safe and at ease... Really, please believe me."
His words finally calmed me down a bit, and also reminded me of the topic that had been deviated a long time ago: "You haven't told me how you got this piece of toilet paper, and how it changed your appearance."
"Oh, sorry. It's like this. For many years, I could only hide my true identity by wearing inconspicuous clothes, growing long hair to cover my face, and wearing large black-framed glasses, but I would still be exposed from time to time. Until one day when I was being chased, I met Mi Rin. At that time, I was in a panic and knocked down Mi Rin who was staring at strawberry milk pudding at the corner of the street. I fell to the ground with him, and when the pursuers were about to appear, Mi Rin took out this piece of toilet paper and stuffed it into my collar, and then something strange happened. Those people all ignored me lying on the ground and rushed past me in a hurry."
Mao Ishi shook her arms exaggeratedly. Just as I was stunned, Mi Rin said to me in a super cool tone: "The trouble has been solved, why don't you get away from me." I stood up and was about to leave, but Mi Rin suddenly shouted: "My strawberry milk pudding! My high-end strawberry milk pudding worth 50 yuan!"
Mao's movements were like a group of demons dancing wildly, and her tone was extremely funny. I covered my lips lightly and laughed so hard that I couldn't help laughing. At the same time, I remembered in my heart: Mi Lin likes strawberry milk pudding.
I wanted to leave immediately, after all, those people didn't find me and might return at any time. But he screamed so miserably, I felt that if I hadn't hit him, his strawberry milk pudding would not have fallen, so I told him that I would compensate him. But he refused, and I didn't dare to go to the nearby large supermarket to buy it. Just when I was at a loss, he took out a piece of toilet paper and handed it to me, and dragged me into the supermarket in a hurry, and successfully bought the strawberry milk pudding. Ishi Mao's face flushed with excitement, "That was the first time in my life that I didn't need to dress up and was not surrounded and besieged. No matter what I did or said, no one looked at me twice. This feeling was so wonderful, so I decided from that day on that I must be friends with him."
But he immediately became frustrated: "But Mi Lin doesn't pay much attention to me. I always take the initiative to talk to him and ask him to go home with me, but he never replies to my text messages. Sigh."
His words really resonated with me. I stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder: "Don't be depressed. Think about it, no matter how good-looking you are, you are still a boy. Mi Lin is the kind of person who doesn't even pay attention to a super beautiful girl like me."
"You're right. Mi Lin's personality should be so cold, but when I talked to him and asked him to go home with me, he at least responded to me. As long as I persist, he will definitely treat me as his best friend." Ishi Maou was extremely excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
But his words hurt me deeply.
A beautiful girl like me... I have actually fallen to the point of competing with boys in charm. Wow, how can I be so miserable! But there are more important things to do now, so let's put aside this miserable thought for now.
"Does this piece of toilet paper have magic power? Do you see any changes in me after I hold it?" I asked seriously while holding the toilet paper.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what I said, Shi Mao suddenly turned around with his back to me, bent down, and his whole body shook slightly.
I asked in confusion, "Ishi Mao, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing... nothing." He answered me vaguely, and his voice seemed to be trembling.
I asked worriedly, "Are you okay? Are you sick?"
"Really, it's really okay." Although he said this, his voice was shaking even more violently, and even his shoulders were shaking much more violently than before.
This made me even more worried. You know, he is my only hope to catch Mi Rin. If he gets sick, won't he take sick leave? What will happen to my plan?
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. I simply walked around to him and asked, "What on earth are you…"
The words I hadn't finished saying got stuck in my throat when I saw him covering his mouth to hold back his laughter.
"Hahaha, Miss Yaxi, you are so funny, hahaha." The person I was worried about was actually laughing!
Did I say anything funny?
Just as I was trying hard to think seriously about what I had just said to make Ishi Mao laugh so hard, he finally stopped laughing.
Wiping away the tears from laughing, he gave me a super cute smile: "I admire you even more. Can you be my friend?"
Facing this cute smile that can instantly slay women all over the world, I said happily: "Of course. We already have a secret between us, so are we still friends? But since we are friends, you should at least tell me what you were laughing at just now?"
He stuck out his tongue, pointed at the toilet paper and said, "Because I didn't expect you to guess that it was magical. Hahaha, Miss Yaxi usually looks very mature and stable. You are someone that everyone can trust and rely on. I didn't expect you to be so childish."
My face flushed immediately: "What do you mean by childish? It's just that what happened to you was too unbelievable, so I guessed like that!"
"It's not magic. Mirin said it's a high-tech product that emits radio waves that can change the way objects are refracted in other people's eyes."
Ishi Mao’s explanation left me stunned: “Do you really believe it? Mi Lin’s father is just an ordinary clerk. How could he have the opportunity to get such a high-tech product? You…” Are you really not a fool?
"How Mi Rin got it is his business, but after he gave me this thing, my troubles were indeed solved."
What Ishi Maou said made so much sense that I was speechless.
In that case, I should focus on more important issues. When talking to Mao Ishi, he led me off topic without me noticing. I had to try hard to get back on topic: "Why didn't it change when I held it?"
"It's true that Miss Yaxi, you haven't changed at all." Ishi Mao held up his chin with one hand and thought, "But it's also strange. I have been touched by others after I changed my appearance, but I was not exposed. Why did it become ineffective after Miss Yaxi touched me?"
I thought about it in confusion and came up with a plausible reason: "Maybe it's because my charm is stronger than its power, so it's ineffective."
"Well, it's very likely." After thinking for a few seconds, Shi Mao completely agreed with my point of view, "After all, Miss Yaxi has a perfect appearance. Gold will always shine. Even if you change other people's brain waves, Miss Yaxi's elegant temperament will still be inadvertently exuded in her every move, and people can't ignore it anyway."
His words made me feel happy, and all the anger that I had been accumulating because of Mi Lin disappeared completely.
Since the paper was of no use to me, I returned it to Ishi Maou, and at the same time remembered the reason why I was looking for him: "Do you know where Mi Rin is? I have something urgent to do with him now."
"I'm sorry, I really don't know." Ishi Mao spread his hands helplessly, "He always disappears very quickly recently."
"So Mao, we are friends, right?" I looked at Mao with sparkling eyes, clasped my hands in front of my chest, and said pitifully, "I am really in a hurry to find Mi Rin, but he always avoids me, so now you are the only one who can help me. Please, please do me this favor!"
Ishi Mao was defeated by my tender attack, and turned away with a blushing face: "I really can't do anything with you girls. Well, we are friends after all, what do you want me to help you with?"
Seeing his slightly embarrassed look, I smiled and told him the plan: "Tomorrow during lunch break, you trick Mi Lin to come to the rooftop."
"It's not good to lie..."
Seeing Ishi Mao's embarrassed expression as if saying "Mi Rin is my friend too, it's wrong to deceive friends", I immediately changed the words: "It's not a lie, it's an appointment! Yes, it's an appointment. Think about it, after studying hard for a whole morning, shouldn't you leave the classroom to get some fresh air, look into the distance to protect your eyesight? You just care about your friend, so you took your best friend to the rooftop to breathe fresh air. It's a good thing." I emphasized hard that this was a "good thing" and finally got Ishi Mao to nod in agreement.
The next day, when lunch break came, I rushed to the rooftop and tried to trick a few classmates who were originally on the rooftop away. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, I waited for only Ishi Mao.
The reason is that he didn’t find Mi Lin!
During the lunch break on the third day, I kept a close eye on Mi Rin. When I saw Mao Shi and Mi Rin leaving the classroom, I immediately rushed to the rooftop, but I didn't see their shadows. I sent a text message to Mao Shi to ask, but the reply I got was that this useless guy was persuaded by Mi Rin to go to the garden.
I went to Mi Lin's house on the weekend, but apart from being received overly enthusiastically by Mi Lin's parents and hearing a lot of flattering words, I didn't see Mi Lin at all.
Today is Monday. I reminded Ishi Maou this morning to remember the appointment, but I didn't expect it to be broken again.
The sports meet was getting closer and closer. Was I really going to watch the situation go out of control? No, I would never give up.
