Chapter 3: Third-rate inferior products also have their future 05
Coming out of the bathroom, I breathed a sigh of relief, but then another question came to my mind.
Even if everyone in the classroom left, I still had no clothes to wear. How would I go home like this?
Wearing only a camisole and safety pants, walking down the street like this, even if I wasn't running naked, I would still attract a lot of strange looks, right? Being stared at like a monster by a large group of people. Forget it, I would rather spend the night in the classroom than allow such a shameful thing to happen to me.
Just when I was extremely confused and had no idea what to do, I suddenly heard footsteps in the corridor behind me. It seemed that someone was coming. I was so scared that I didn't know what to do. I turned around and ran towards the classroom, but I turned too quickly and bumped into the arms of the person behind me.
"Ah!" I screamed and squatted down subconsciously. I didn't care who was coming and shouted desperately, "Go away! Go away quickly! Don't look at me! Go away quickly!"
"Yes...I'm sorry...I just came back to get something...I didn't expect...someone would come...I'm sorry..."
The other person was obviously no less frightened than I was. He spoke incoherently and hurriedly took off his coat to cover me. His tone became a little more normal: "You... I'll let you wear my clothes first. You're wearing so little, you'll catch a cold."
Now it's not a question of whether or not you feel cold, okay? It's a girl, a girl who has never had a boyfriend, and people have seen her naked - it's a question of face, okay!
But wait, why does this voice sound so familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere!
I covered my face and slowly raised my head, peeking through my fingers at the person standing in front of me. Under the golden sunset, surrounded by lilies, I saw a face more beautiful than an angel, and the most striking thing was his beautiful, pure, blue eyes like the sky.
It's him? It's actually him!
The boy who recognized me as a girl at first sight yesterday and gave me clothes for free.
I didn't expect to see him again so soon. I wanted to laugh happily, but I couldn't. God, although I really wanted to see him again, why did I choose this time - when I was the most embarrassed, the most ashamed, and the most embarrassed?
He obviously recognized me, and an excited and happy smile appeared on his pretty face. "It's you? I've been looking for you. I even drew your portrait and asked around. It took me a whole day to find out that you are also a student of Aurora College. Your name is so cute, Nian Gao, is that your last name Nian? Do you like eating rice cakes? Or do your parents like eating rice cakes, so why did they give you such a cute name?"
He has been looking for me? Does he want to meet me again?
And... Aurora's classmates really treated Duanmu Jichu's words as if they were an imperial decree. With just one sentence from him, no one remembered my real name at all.
I stood up wrapped in his big coat, feeling somewhat helpless: "Actually, my name is not Nian Gao. My name is Ye Ye, the Ye of Ye Zi. Due to some reasons... anyway, it was some accidents, everyone started to call me Nian Gao inexplicably..."
Well, can I tell him that it was because I poured rice cakes into Duanmu Jichu's shoes that Duanmu Jichu forced the name "Nian Gao" on me in revenge... Can I say that? Obviously not.
"Ye Ye..." He whispered my name and smiled sweetly, "This name is so cute."
At this time, I realized that he was also wearing the uniform of Aurora College. The uniform jacket was draped over me. He was only wearing a white uniform shirt and trousers, without a hat. His short blond hair was casually draped over his forehead. With his fair skin, blue eyes, and slightly curved lips, he looked more and more beautiful and lovely. I couldn't help but marvel at how there could be such a beautiful boy in the world. He was even prettier than the girls.
When he saw me staring at him, he blinked a little awkwardly, and then suddenly grabbed my hand as if he had thought of something important, and said to me seriously and firmly: "Ye Ye, don't worry, I will be responsible for you."
Huh? Responsible? Responsible for what?
I was somewhat puzzled by his incoherent words. He continued:
"I'm sorry that I saw your body, but don't worry, I will definitely be responsible for you. In our country, if a girl is seen by a boy with more than 80% of her body exposed, it means that she has lost her innocence. But don't worry, I'm not such an irresponsible person. I will date you seriously and marry you in the future."
Huh? If a girl is seen by a boy with more than 80% of her body exposed, it means that she is no longer innocent? What kind of rule is this? Is their country on Mars? There is no such rule on Earth.
Although I was extremely embarrassed to be seen in my cute little body, dating and getting married… wasn’t this too much of a stretch?
"Um..." I pushed his hand away stiffly. "Actually, you don't have to take any responsibility for me. We don't have such a rule here. And now the atmosphere is more open. Girls go to the beach and wear less than I do now... So you don't have to take responsibility. Haha , we can just be friends."
"Do you look down on me?" After hearing what I said, he showed a frustrated expression on his pretty face, and a trace of haze flashed in his blue eyes. "Do you look down on me? In our country, if a boy takes the initiative to ask for responsibility but is rejected by a girl, it is a sign of being looked down upon. Do you hate me?"
Hey, what country are you from? Why do you have so many confusing customs?
I really feel like crying but I have no tears left.
"No, no, I absolutely do not look down on you, nor do I hate you. In fact, I still like you very much. You can see that I am a girl, you said so many compliments to me, and even gave me clothes..." I waved my hands hurriedly, trying to comfort him, "How could I hate you? And it is even more impossible for me to look down on you, I swear!"
"Really?"
He raised his head, his beautiful blue eyes full of expectation. When he saw me nodding vigorously, he finally smiled again: "Then are you willing to let me take responsibility?"
Oh my God, why do we keep talking about this and end up back at the same topic.
I rubbed my forehead with a headache and decided to change the subject to distract him temporarily: "Um... can you help me find a set of clothes first? I can't go home in this state, and I haven't eaten all day. I'm so hungry."
"You haven't eaten all day?" He widened his eyes in surprise, "Why?"
At this point, he seemed to remember what I had said yesterday when I lied to him about how my family was very poor and I could only wear clothes that my father had worn, so he asked again, "Is it because we don't have money?"
"Uh... no, anyway, something happened..." I was tricked into the locker room, my uniform was stolen, and I was locked in the locker room for a whole day... A lot of things happened that day that I don't want to recall. I made a bitter face and forced a smile at him, "It doesn't matter what happened before. Just help me find some clothes and let me go home for dinner. That's the biggest help for me."
"Okay, I understand." He didn't ask any more questions, but patted my shoulder and said to me seriously and firmly, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon." Then he ran down the stairs quickly.
I immediately put on his uniform jacket and ran down the other stairs at a faster speed, preparing to find a place to hide temporarily.
Although this was the second time we met, it was the first time I met such a kind, simple and bright guy who was good at discovering and praising others' strengths.
Actually, if it was him, I think I would be willing to date him, but I don't want this kind of relationship that is started purely for responsibility. I grew up like a weed in the streets. Although I have a bad personality, no backbone and stubbornness, and I often lie and play tricks on people, I am still very persistent in love. I hope to date someone who really likes me and I like him. Apart from liking each other, I can't accept any other way.
Although it was time to go home from school, there were still quite a few people in the school. I couldn't move around freely wrapped in just a uniform jacket, so I had to hide in the school's parking lot specially set up for teachers. After hiding for a while, I heard the voice of a boy with deep blue eyes calling my name.
Although it felt good to be valued, I was really afraid that he would say things like taking responsibility, dating, and getting married to me, so I gritted my teeth, turned around, and got into a nearby car with its door unlocked.
"Hey, what are you doing there? Playing the ostrich?"
Just when I was secretly thanking myself for the coincidence that someone forgot to lock the car door, an extremely familiar voice came from the direction of the driver's seat in front, which immediately brought my heart to the bottom.
It was Duanmu Jichu's voice.
How could I hear Duanmu Jichu's voice at this time? Could this be Duanmu Jichu's car? How could such a coincidence happen in the world? I must have heard it wrong, it must be...
I hid in the back seat with my head in my hands, deceiving myself, and used psychological suggestion to try to get rid of this cruel dream, but the next second, a big hand reached out, picked up my uniform jacket wrapped tightly around my body, and lifted me up from the back seat of the sports car.
"Ah--" I screamed and hurriedly pulled my clothes tighter to prevent the already large uniform on my body from being pulled open by him. Then I raised my head and reluctantly met a pair of black eyes full of mockery.
"Nian Gao girl, you really have a way. I remember I have reminded everyone not to leave any wearable clothes in the class, but you still managed to get a uniform, and it's a boy's uniform..." Duanmu Jichu said, staring fiercely at the uniform jacket on me, as if he wanted to stare a hole in the jacket. "The boys in this school really like to be heroes and save the damsels in distress. It seems that the school rules need to be revised. For example, except for students in the full-time secretary training class, no one is allowed to approach Xingxiu Building."
What a vicious and willful guy, can the school rules be changed at will? I stared at him angrily, and I really didn't understand why I was admitted to this school just because I wanted to see him. If there is such a thing as a time machine in the world, I will definitely go back to the day when I filled in the application form and fill in all my applications to the schools farthest away from Aurora.
After being pranked for a whole day, I really didn't have the energy to say anything flattering, especially to the culprit who pranked me, so I rolled my eyes and slapped his hand away: "There are still good people in this world."
For example, the boy with the deep blue eyes, well, apart from the weird rules in his country, he is really a nice person.
"Ye Ye, where are you? Come out quickly. I have found clothes for you. They are girls' uniforms. Come out quickly and don't hide."
I was thinking about the boy with the deep blue eyes, but I didn't expect to hear his voice immediately, and it seemed very close.
He found this place so quickly?
"This is terrible..." I hurriedly retreated into the back seat of the sports car and continued to pretend to be an ostrich, while quietly warning Duanmu Jichu who was sitting in the driver's seat, "Don't tell anyone that you've seen me, do you hear me?"
Duanmu Jichu saw my panic, and saw the boy with blue eyes running towards me holding a set of girls' uniforms and wearing only a shirt. He seemed to understand something, raised the corner of his lips and sneered at me: "The uniform is his? Do you know him?"
"It's none of your business." I lay on the back seat, trying to shrink my body into the seat, and glared at Duanmu Jichu.
If I could still pretend and say flattering words before, hoping that he would let me go, but after this incident, I have completely given up this idea. Duanmu Jichu is definitely a guy who will take revenge, and since I have completely offended him, there is no need to pretend anymore.
"Then I have no choice but to tell him that you are here." Duanmu Jichu glanced at me nastily and pretended to roll down the window.
"Ah! No! It's his, the uniform is definitely his!" I screamed in fear. "I've seen him twice. I can say I know him, but I can't say I understand him."
"You robbed him, right? How could you possibly know him?" Duanmu Jichu sneered at what I said.
"He gave it to me on his own initiative, okay?" I was a little angry. Am I really a worthless girl in his eyes?
"He said he saw my body and wanted to be responsible for me, wanted to date me, and even said he would marry me in the future..."
Maybe I was so angry that I blurted out everything in one breath.
"He also said he was happy to meet me. Don't think that everyone in the world is as cold-blooded as you. There are still good people, like him!"
"Yeah?"
Duanmu Jichu turned around and looked at me, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and a cold light flashed in his black gemstone-like pupils. Then he actually rolled down the window and greeted the boy with the azure eyes.
"Hey, Leo, are you back to school?"
Wait, what did he call him? Leo?
AURORA Group’s ace designer——Leo?
How is it possible? How could Leo be such a young boy? He is so famous, shouldn't he be a man over 40 years old?
I opened my mouth in shock and watched the beautiful face outside the car window give Duanmu Jichu a brilliant smile.
"Hi, Ji Chu, long time no see. Ji Mo and Ximen, how are you?" He smiled happily, and then asked Duanmu Ji Chu anxiously as if he remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Ji Chu, did you see a girl just now, she was not wearing much clothes, and she was wearing a boy's uniform."
"A girl who is not wearing much clothes and is wearing a boy's uniform..." Duanmu Jichu deliberately prolonged his voice and glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally.
It's over. He will definitely betray me.
He hates me so much and will try every way to bully me. He will definitely betray me.
I sighed in frustration and gave up the idea of hiding. After all, it was better to go out and face Le Ou with the azure eyes than to face the arrogant Duanmu Ji Chu.
Thinking of this, I slowly raised my head...
But--
"I haven't seen it." Duanmu Jichu actually lied, and said it without blushing or beating his heart. "Are you saying that there are girls walking around in Aurora College in disheveled clothes? Who is it? Tell me the name, and tomorrow I will ask the discipline director to investigate thoroughly. Students who affect the school's atmosphere like this must be expelled."
"Ah... expulsion? Is it that serious?" A trace of worry flashed across Le Ou's pretty face, and then he waved his hands desperately to cover for me, "Maybe I saw it wrong, don't take what I said just now to heart. By the way, Ji Chu, I have something to do and I'll leave first. I'll meet you guys for a party tonight. Bye."
He seemed not to be good at lying. A blush appeared on his pretty face. After he finished speaking, he turned and ran away.
Compared to Duanmu Jichu, who can lie without blushing or beating his heart, Le Ou is so naive. He doesn’t even know that he has been cheated and he is trying hard to cover up for me. Woohoo, I am so touched.
Under normal circumstances, if I was properly clothed, I would have rushed out of the car and hugged him and cried with emotion. But I couldn't do that now. I was in such a mess and didn't want to leave a bad impression on him.
"He left already."
Watching Le Ou running away, Duanmu Jichu turned around and glanced at me indifferently. There was no mockery in his tone, and his eyes became indifferent as well: "It seems that Le Ou is really special to you. This is the first time I see him lie."
very special?
What's the meaning?
I remember the first time I met Leo on the street. I dragged him along and ran in the alley. He was so tired and out of breath that he smiled and said to me, "This is the first time I run on the street like this..."
That just means that he has a good impression of me, nothing special.
I looked up at Duanmu Jichu, and his eyes immediately looked away after meeting mine. His expression was a little strange. Although it was also cold, it seemed... yes, it seemed... If I wasn't crazy and hadn't been tricked by him to the point of having hallucinations, there seemed to be a hint of jealousy in his expression.
jealousy?
Because of Leo's attitude towards me?
Oh my god, how is this possible! He is Duanmu Jichu, and any expression can appear on his face, except for jealousy, especially towards a worthless girl like me, absolutely impossible!
I was so depressed by my own thoughts that I simply pushed open the car door, ready to risk it all and go home wrapped in a uniform. But before I could take two steps, Duanmu Jichu, who opened the door and got out of the car, pulled me back and stuffed me back into the car.
"Are you an exhibitionist for wearing this?" He stuffed me into the passenger seat next to the driver's seat and glared at me with a frown. "If you have such a bad figure, don't go out and affect the city appearance."
"Do you think I want to?" Please, who is responsible for my becoming like this? I yelled back at him angrily.
I really can’t stand it. How can there be someone with such a weird temper in the world?
"If I don't go home like this, how can I go home? Will you return my uniform to me?" I yelled again.
He turned his head to look at me, and for the first time ever, he was not angry or sneering at me, nor did he threaten me. Instead, he reached out from beside his seat, picked up a paper bag and threw it at me.
I opened the paper bag puzzled and unexpectedly found my uniform inside.
He actually gave it back to me, no way?
Is it going to rain red rain?
I stared blankly at the paper bag, then at his face, not knowing how to react next. I didn't say anything, and neither did he. The atmosphere became awkward for a moment, so I coughed lightly and said, "Well... if that's the case, let's call it a draw. No one owes anyone anything."
As I said that, I reached out to open the door, but was stopped again.
"Although your figure is indeed terrible and your face is not good-looking, it is still unsafe to walk on the road. I'd better take you back to avoid being gossiped about and accused of bullying civilians."
He glanced at me calmly and then started the car.
Come on, haven’t you bullied enough?
Forcing me to change my name to "Rice Cake", assigning me to clean toilets, and locking me in the locker room for the whole day, are these all considered love?
I glared at him and sat in the passenger seat holding the paper bag in indignation, but I don't know why, I didn't hate him as much as before. Thinking carefully, it seemed that I was the one who started all the trouble. He called me rice cake because I poured rice cake into his shoes first, and I was locked in the locker room because I did the same thing to him first...
Well, think about it this way, if it weren't for my provocation, my self-righteous cleverness, would the two of us be able to get along more peacefully?
Leaning back on the comfortable leather seat, I watched the shadows of the trees flying backwards outside the car window while thinking about all sorts of things without any clue. Before long, I fell asleep again in a daze.
And I also had a dream - in the dream, Duanmu Jichu stopped the car on the side of the road, stared at me quietly for a long time, then reached out his hand, rubbed my hair very gently, and murmured to himself: "Why don't you beg for mercy? As long as you beg for mercy... I just want you to beg for mercy..."
Beg for mercy? How is that possible? Although I, Ye Ye, have no backbone and am a bit of a bully, but if you want me to beg for mercy, you'll have to wait another hundred years. Humph!
