Chapter 5: The Tsundere Star Who Loves to Make Trouble 1
When the last veil of night disappeared in the morning light, a new day arrived in Mihua City.
For the girls of Ailey College, this is their happiest time, because at 7:45 every morning, four radiant figures will appear on time on a path leading to the senior teaching building.
Tian Yifeng, the study group leader who is known as the perfect prince, Lucifer, the study star who shines wherever he goes, Hua Qianye, the sunny boy who seems to have walked out of a comic book, and Norn, the mysterious senior who always has a cold face.
The power of human beings to pursue beauty is extremely strong. From the first day these four star-like boys appeared at Ailey College, there was always a lack of people to greet them on this path, rain or shine.
This situation has not changed at all even after three of the study group members got girlfriends one after another. In fact, it has even become more crazy in recent days.
"Do you think we can meet Senior Norn today? I really want to see him smile again!"
"Me too, me too! As long as he's willing to smile, I'd be willing to exchange all my pocket money for him!"
"Woo woo! I used to like Senior Hua Qianye the most, but ever since I saw Senior Norn smile once that day, I've fallen in love with someone else. Senior Hua Qianye, I'm sorry!"
"Stop talking! I didn't see anything that day, but today I have to squeeze to the front no matter what you say! Don't let anyone stop me!"
…
A high-pitched voice suddenly rang out amid the chattering: "Here we go! Here we go! Everyone, get your photography gear ready! 1, 2, 3! Start!"
At the command, the team that was in a mess just now instantly split into two teams, leaving a path in the middle that was large enough for four people to walk side by side, and then -
"Senior Norn! Smile!"
"Senior Norn! Smile!"
"Senior Norn! Smile!"
…
“Crack—”
I had been hiding behind a big tree, but I stumbled and broke a dead branch, almost making contact with the ground. When I finally managed to stand steady by holding onto the tree trunk, I felt like my jaw was about to drop.
Do you have to be so exaggerated?
I stared in amazement at the girls not far away shouting slogans with shining eyes. The overwhelming momentum made the leaves above my head rustle.
I was completely defeated by this group of nymphomaniacs!
The next moment, I stealthily poked my head out from behind the big tree and stood on tiptoe to try to see clearly the few people walking towards me in the sunshine and with slogans.
What? You ask me what's the difference between me and those crazy fans?
Of course! Although I came here to see Norn, my purpose is different from theirs. I came here to...
Huh? Why are there only three people?
I rubbed my eyes and looked over again.
That's right! With my good vision of over 5.0 in both eyes, I am sure that there are indeed three figures walking over there, no more, no less!
The elegant boy in the middle who always has a perfect smile is Tian Yifeng, the boy with burgundy hair on his right who seems to be showing off all the time is Lucifer, and the exquisite boy on his left who seems to have gathered all the spiritual energy in the world is Hua Qianye. If I'm not mistaken, it was him who kicked Norn out from behind the bushes yesterday morning.
But what about the person he kicked? What about Norn, the one who always looked cold and sometimes crazy, but was righteous, awkward and cute at critical moments?
I don't know when the girls stopped chanting, but they soon found new excitement.
"Huh? Hana Chiba-senpai is wearing a pink shirt today. It really suits his temperament. Wow! He's so handsome that I want to drool!"
"Senior Lucifer is getting cooler and cooler! Ah, I am intoxicated by his eyes, they are so charming!"
"No! I still love our senior Tian Yifeng the most! His elegant temperament can easily beat all the stars on TV. I will love him for ten thousand years!"
…
Amidst the noise, a weak voice finally emerged: "But, my favorite senior Norn didn't come!"
However, this sentence was like a small wave on the vast ocean, and was soon drowned by the greater enthusiasm around it.
You guys are a bunch of unfaithful nymphomaniacs!
I stared angrily at the girls in front of me who had already fallen into a frenzy. I really wanted to yell at them.
You were all shouting the slogan of unity two minutes ago, but two minutes later you actually forgot about Norn? Although he is mysterious, he is not invisible! Especially at this fixed unified appearance time in the morning, he was absent for no reason, don't you feel strange?
I was panting heavily and was so angry at myself, but in the end, I could only watch the crazy fans and the objects of their crazy love disappear from my sight like the receding tide.
The noisy road returned to calm, but I, behind the tree, walked out with my head drooped like a cabbage that had been dried out by the wind.
Why didn't Norn show up?
This is the only thought in my mind at the moment.
I walked on the road listlessly, and couldn't help but think back to what happened last night.
…
"It's still acceptable. What happened this morning can be written off. But I will slowly settle the other accounts with you!"
I don’t know if it was because she was a little scared, but Yao Shanshan didn’t check me carefully as she said before. Instead, she stood at the door of the laboratory, took a quick look around, and then mercifully let me go.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great! I was wondering how I was going to get her to avoid the two tables in the corner if she had to go in for a closer look.
After all, Norn is such a big man squatting under the table. If you really get close, it would be hard not to notice him.
"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!" I quickly put on a flattering smile and volunteered, "Then I'll stay here to do some finishing work. I'll just lock the door of the laboratory."
Let's go! Let's go! I'll let Norn out if I leave!
I looked at Yao Shanshan with hope, but she glared at me and looked at me unhappily : "The lab is full of important assets of the school, how can I give you the key? What if you take one or two things, how can I explain to the school? You'd better come out honestly, don't try to play tricks behind my back!"
After saying that, she grabbed my arm, pulled me out of the door, and then quickly locked the door, as if she was afraid that I would stay inside and not leave.
I am completely speechless.
Are you trying to protect me like a thief? I swear I have no interest in anything in there!
However, no matter how I struggled internally or how slowly I moved, I was eventually forced out of the school gate by the powerful Yao Shanshan. When I finally managed to separate from Yao Shanshan and ran back to the laboratory building as fast as I could, I found that even the door of the building was locked.
Yao Shanshan, you are so cruel!
I walked around the laboratory building several times with gritted teeth, and finally had to leave in shame.
As for Norn, I think he must have used the portal to leave. After all, this is his specialty!
I consoled myself like this the whole night, but deep down I was still a little uneasy, as if I had overlooked something. So, early in the morning, I ran to the road that the study group must pass by to stay there, and kept hypnotizing myself: "As long as I see Norn appear, I won't have to feel guilty anymore."
But why did the uneasiness in my heart become even stronger after coming here? Moreover, this strong uneasiness is still continuing.
In the next few days, my legs seemed to be out of control and I always walked towards the senior teaching building involuntarily. Then when I reached the door of a classroom on the left side of the third floor, I would pretend to glance inside unintentionally. After receiving a lot of inexplicable looks, I left with a disappointed heart.
I have also been to that nightmare laboratory. When I went there, I happened to see a senior student tidying up inside. I found an excuse to go in and take a look around. The space under the table where the glassware was placed was empty, and there was no sign of Norn.
No! Still no!
Classrooms, restaurants, stadiums, libraries...
I searched everywhere the norns could have gone, but to no avail.
He wouldn't... evaporate again, would he?
After lunch, I wandered around the campus alone. I felt like there was a dark cloud above my head, which was out of tune with the joyful campus atmosphere.
However, what bothered me even more was the comments of the girls next to me.
"Eh? Isn't this Bai Jie Ni? Why is she always running to the senior grades these days?"
"Why else? She must be trying to attract Senior Norn's attention again. Fortunately, Senior Norn is not here, otherwise she would be embarrassed again, haha!"
"But it's a bit strange. I heard that Senior Norn hasn't come to class for several days. Is he sick?"
… …
Ahhh! I really can't stand it anymore! If I can't find Norn, I will be overwhelmed by my own guilt!
So when I realized it, I was already standing at the door of the Ancient Drama Club. As Tian Yifeng's girlfriend, Qianqian should know where Norn went.
I don't want to guess anymore, no matter if I'm laughed at by my former senior or mocked by crazy girls, I must know what happened to Norn.
After making up my mind, I raised my hand and knocked on the door.
"Eh? Junior Jenny? Why are you here?" It was Senior Qianqian who opened the door. The moment she saw me, her eyes widened in surprise, and then she smiled in surprise. "You haven't figured it out and want to join my drama club, have you? Haha! Welcome, welcome!"
She threw herself forward with her arms outstretched.
Faced with her enthusiasm, I couldn't speak directly, so I could only speak in a roundabout way: "Sister Qianqian, thank you for your help that day, if it weren't for you..."
Really, I was so busy looking for Norn these days that I forgot to say thank you to senior sister Qianqian. This is really wrong.
"Oh, it's just helping to move a pot of flowers. Didn't you thank me the other day? It's not a big deal." Senior Sister Qianqian waved her hand generously before I finished speaking, looking nonchalant, and then continued the topic that interested her, "Junior Sister Jenny, what kind of role are you interested in? How about I tailor one for you? Let me tell you, I just conceived a story..."
"No, Senior Sister Qianqian!" I had no choice but to interrupt her, "I'm not talking about moving the flowers, I'm talking about you asking Norn to come and help me clean the lab!"
"Laboratory? Norn? When did that happen? How come I didn't know about it?" Xiang Qianqian was not unhappy about being interrupted, but she looked at me with confusion, as if she didn't understand what I was saying at all.
I felt like something was wrong, but I still patiently explained, "It was on Monday. After school in the afternoon, didn't Yao Shanshan punish me to clean the medical laboratory? I was crying inside because I was scared, and you heard it outside, so you called Senior Tian Yifeng, and then Senior Tian Yifeng sent Norn to help me. Isn't that... that's it?"
I finished my narration uncertainly, my eyes fixed on hers.
The confusion on the face of the senior sister Qianqian across from me finally disappeared, but before I could be happy, I saw her quickly reveal a very strange smile, and even her tone became strange: "Who told you all this? Norn?"
"Yes!" I nodded, and was about to ask about Norn's situation, but the next second I suddenly saw her eyes curved, and a burst of earth-shaking laughter came out of her mouth.
"Hahaha! I've actually done something as good as this. This is even more exciting than the script I wrote, hahaha..."
"Senior..." I had no idea what was going on. I stood there in confusion and felt extremely embarrassed.
Did I say something wrong? Why is the reaction of the former senior sister so strange?
Finally he stopped laughing, shook his head forward, and looked at me meaningfully: "It seems that you didn't come to see me today to join the drama club? You wanted to ask about Norn, right?"
When I saw Senior Sister Qianqian’s expression, my face suddenly became hot and my whole body seemed to be steaming.
"Ah... no... yes... actually..." After a bunch of incoherent words, I looked at her increasingly weird smile, and I just made up my mind and asked directly, "Senior Qianqian, do you know why Norn didn't come to class these few days? Did something happen to him?"
"Is there something wrong? You'll know if you go and take a look." Senior sister Qianqian winked at me and patted my shoulder. "Wait a minute, I'll make a call and then take you to visit the patient!"
After saying that, she turned and walked into the small compartment inside, leaving me alone standing in the echoing room.
Go visit the patient!
Is Norn really sick? Is he injured because he helped me that day?
My toes kept tapping the ground, my face, which had not yet completely cooled down, became hot again, my heart was beating faster and faster in my chest, and my anxiety was getting stronger and stronger...
While I was hesitating, Xiang Qian, who was very decisive, had already finished his phone call and walked out.
"Okay, let's go!"
She held my hand with her warm hand, and I instantly found an excuse for myself - I was pulled there by my senior classmate, and it was definitely not my initiative to go there!
Yes! That's right! That's it!
So, Norn, when you see me later, don’t misunderstand me!
