Chapter 5: The King's Examination Room 01
“Ye Ye, Ye Ye, this is a big trouble, wuwuwu…what should we do?”
Early in the morning, as soon as I walked out of the elevator of Xingxiu Building, Bai Yuanyuan, with tearful eyes, pulled me to the empty rooftop.
"Uh...what's wrong?" Before I could swallow a mouthful of bread, it got stuck in my throat and I almost choked to death.
“Master Ji Mo found the post on the Internet, wuwuwu, and then he told Master Ximen… wuwuwu, Master Ximen said it was ‘weird’, and Master Ji Chu wanted to investigate the source of the post… wuwuwu…” Bai Yuanyuan hung on my shoulder, wiping all her snot and tears on my sleeves, her shoulders still shaking pitifully, “What should we do? If we are found out, we will die ugly…”
"What? You said that Duanmu Jichu wanted to investigate the source of the post?" Looking at Bai Yuanyuan's tearful face, it took me a long time to understand her true meaning from the mess of "woohoo" mixed in with the messy sentences. Although I was also panicking, I still tried to force a smile when I thought of Bai Yuanyuan's excellent computer skills: "You... your computer skills are so good, it shouldn't be found out, right?"
"Wow, there will always be someone more powerful than me. If it was a professional hacker, woooo, Youyou would be killed." Bai Yuanyuan cried non-stop.
Professional hacker...
This time even I want to cry. Wow, Duanmu Jichu wouldn't go to this extent just to investigate a post, right?
As soon as this question came up, the little man with black horns in my head immediately ran out and kicked me hard: "Of course it's possible, the other party is Duanmu Jichu, don't be fooled by his peaceful appearance these days."
That's right, ever since he apologized to me on the bridge that day, the next few days were unexpectedly peaceful, because every time I saw him from a distance, I couldn't help but think of the scene of me sleeping on his shoulder on the bridge that day. We would run away quickly before we met. So, we haven't spoken to each other for many days, let alone quarreling.
After comforting Bai Yuanyuan who was crying non-stop, when I returned to the classroom, the class time had not yet arrived. Duanmu Jichu was sitting on the podium reading a book, and other students were busy with their own things. I tiptoed in with a guilty conscience, afraid of being discovered by him, but I didn't expect Le Ou to suddenly stand up from his seat and greet me loudly: "Good morning, Xiaoye, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Le Ou was wearing a school uniform, with the buttons of the uniform jacket unbuttoned, revealing the white shirt inside, but his shirts have always been very peculiar, always with some very clever designs, sometimes there is lace on the collar, sometimes there is a hand-embroidered rose medal, and today is even more exaggerated, he wore a white shirt, and on his chest he actually pinned a heart shape with rose petals, with two words written inside - Ou Ye.
Ou Ye?
Leo and Ye Ye?
Well, although it was the first time that someone wrote my name on my chest with such importance, I still couldn't help feeling a chill and gave him a smile that looked like someone with a toothache.
"Morning...Morning, Leo."
"Xiao Ye, do you think my shirt looks good? In our country, people will tattoo their lover's name on their heart once they get married. We haven't gotten married yet, so it's a bit early to get a tattoo, so I designed this logo to express my loyalty to Xiao Ye." Le Ou pulled me to my seat, took off his uniform jacket, pointed at the heart-shaped logo on his chest and smiled happily, "How is it? Does it look good? I spent a week conceiving this, and I got up at 4 o'clock this morning to finish it, because it needs fresh rose petals to look good..."
"Well, it's pretty..." I looked at the heart-shaped rose on Leo's chest, feeling a little overwhelmed. I accidentally looked up at the podium. Duanmu Jichu was reading a book with his head down, as if he didn't hear the noise around him at all. His perfect handsome face was as cold and arrogant as usual. I don't know why, but my heart suddenly sank. Looking at Leo's dazzling smile like a gem, I couldn't smile easily, so I had to perfunctorily say, "As long as you think it looks good."
"Well, Xiaoye , I'll help you make an identical one on your shirt." Le Ou didn't seem to notice anything was wrong with me. After hearing what I said, he pulled me out of the classroom as if he had gotten some affirmation.
Xingxiu Building has nine floors in total. The full-time secretary training class is on the ninth floor. The eighth floor is the tea ceremony room and flower room, which is said to be Ximen's exclusive floor. There is a studio on the seventh floor, which is specially used for Leo to design clothes. Because he doesn't like the atmosphere of the company, he never goes to work in the studio specially prepared for him by AURORA Group.
Leo held my hand and walked all the way to the seventh floor. He opened the door of the design studio and then let go of my hand. He looked at me with blue eyes like the finest Turkish gemstones, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, take off your clothes."
I was immersed in Duanmu Jichu's indifferent expression. I was shocked when I heard him say this to me. I jumped back reflexively, tightly grasped the clothes on my chest, and looked at him warily: "Why do you want to take off your clothes?"
"Pin our exclusive logo on Xiaoye's shirt." Le Ou said as he lifted the white film covering the large sofa, revealing a sofa full of pink roses. These roses seemed to have just been picked from the flower bed, each one was very delicate and had crystal dewdrops on it, sparkling in the morning sun, just as beautiful as Le Ou's smile.
I looked stupidly at the roses in front of me and Leo standing in the middle of them. I was suddenly dazzled by the dazzling beauty. I threw all the unhappiness behind me and exclaimed, "So beautiful."
Yes, yes, the pink roses with dewdrops are so beautiful, but Leo seems to be even more beautiful than these roses, haha.
I smiled foolishly. Le Ou couldn't wait any longer and came forward to take off my clothes: "Xiao Ye, although Ji Chu is here, the teacher doesn't dare to scold us, but skipping classes is always bad. Hurry up and take off your clothes. I will make you a 'Rose Heart European Leaf'. Because I love Xiao Ye with all my heart, mine is red. Xiao Ye, you haven't agreed to my confession yet, so you can use a pink 'Rose Heart European Leaf'."
Uh, Leo, you know I didn't agree to your confession, so we are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet, why do you have to have a different rose heart? And I am a girl, don't take off my clothes so casually...
Although I know that Leo has a simple mind and will do whatever he thinks of immediately without hesitation or any other bad thoughts, my face still turned red. I pushed his hand away and jumped to a safe distance.
"Leo, I think I shouldn't make this rose heart." I jumped behind the sofa, straightened my collar that he had pulled askew, and tried to convey my thoughts to him, "First of all, generally speaking, this kind of identical symbol belongs to couples, and we two can't be considered a couple yet..."
This should be very clear, but for some reason, he understood what I said in a completely different meaning.
"Xiao Ye, do you think my design is ugly?" Leo opened his eyes wide, looked at me dodging, and suddenly lowered his head. A trace of sadness flashed in his blue eyes like Turkish gemstones. "Xiao Ye, do you hate me so much?"
"No, it's very beautiful. No one in the world would think that your design is ugly, Leo." Seeing his hurt look, I suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt, so I tried my best to explain to him, "And how could I not like you? I like you, very much!" Uh, why does this sound so much like a confession... So I added at the end, "Love between friends..."
"Really?" Leo raised his head and looked at me seriously, "You really don't hate me?"
"Really." I nodded vigorously.
"Then why do you dislike my design?" he asked again.
"I don't dislike it!" I wanted to cry but had no tears.
"You clearly rejected the other rose heart. If this isn't disgust, what could it be?" Sadness began to well up in his clear eyes again.
Forget it, I've given up explaining to him.
"I'll just stay away."
I walked into the dressing room, took off my shirt and handed it to him, and said dejectedly, "Leo, please help me pin the pink rose heart on it."
But Leo, do you know that if I walk around the school wearing this shirt, I will be beaten to death by your supporters... Woohoo, I think I'd better stay in the Xingxiu Building and not go downstairs all day.
I, who was wearing a pink "Rose Heart European Leaf" and Leou, who was wearing a red "Rose Heart European Leaf", walked out of his studio together and met Ximen who had just walked out of the tea ceremony room on the eighth floor. Ximen was wearing a set of classical long clothes and trousers. His long black hair made his face look extremely white, like a beautiful boy who walked out of an ancient painting. He was stunningly beautiful.
When Le Ou saw him, he greeted him happily: "Good morning, Simon. I didn't see you so early in the morning. It turns out you were hiding away practicing tea ceremony again."
Simon nodded expressionlessly at Leo, then his eyes passed Leo and fell on me, and he uttered a few words faintly: "You, disaster."
Me? Disaster?
Seeing Ximen's expressionless beautiful face, my heart somehow skipped a beat as he spoke.
Does he mean that I will be in trouble?
Does that mean that the fact that I posted a message to incite all the students in the school will be discovered by Duanmu Jichu?
Uh...wait, Master Ximen, how did you know that I would have a disaster? Are you a fortune teller? Or did you already know that I was the one who did it?
I looked at Simon in fear, but he turned and walked into the flower room.
Uh, Sir Simon, are you going to leave me here? Are you going to leave me here after telling me there's a disaster?
Sir Ximen, this is inhumane, okay? I'm frightened by your words. Please explain clearly, what kind of disaster is this?
I looked at Ximen's back and felt like crying, but Le'ou was more anxious than me and had already chased Ximen into the flower room: "Ximen, you said Xiaoye is in trouble, what kind of trouble is it? Ximen, don't be silent... Ximen, please, speak clearly... Okay, I know you never say more than three words in a sentence, and you never say more than ten sentences a day, but Xiaoye is a very important person to me. If something happens to her, I will cry, I will really cry..."
