Chapter 5: The Tsundere Star Who Loves to Make Trouble 2
I don’t know whether Norn would misunderstand, but when I reach the legendary Flowing Light Castle through some magical means, I can be sure that the three people in front of me, oh no, four people - including the former senior, they all misunderstood.
"Dangdangdang! Look who I brought here? Hahahaha!"
As the game's entrance music played, before I could recover from the magical discovery that "the way to enter the Flowing Light Castle is to pull out a brick from the wall of the grove", an exaggerated shout towards me rang in my ears.
I must have entered in the wrong way!
I rubbed my eyes, then opened them again, only to find myself still standing in a castle that I had only seen on TV.
It really is a castle! Above my head, the high dome is painted with colorful murals, the circular wall is carved with beautiful irises, an intricate and exquisite palace chandelier hangs in the middle of the living room, and a simple silver candlestick is placed on the long wooden coffee table, and there is even an extinguished candle on the candlestick.
Everything was so unbelievable that I even wanted to pinch myself to see if I would wake up.
However, before I could carry out any act of self-torture, an even more shocking scene appeared before me.
As soon as Xiang Qian finished speaking, three people stood up at the same time on the milky white sofa next to the wooden coffee table, as if they had been waiting .
It’s an illusion, it must be an illusion!
Why would the members of the study group wait for a little-known person like me? They must be discussing something important, right?
But why do their eyes look so strange?
"Huh? It's really my junior Jenny! Hello, junior Jenny! I'm Hua Qianye!" The boy with honey-gold hair smiled like a cunning fox and looked me up and down with his head tilted.
"Ah... hello, senior!" I remembered his feat of kicking Norn, and quickly bent down to greet him.
"Kaka! I'm Lucifer, nice to meet you too!" Senior Lucifer nodded at me coolly. He looked serious, but his eyes were full of interest.
I was a little embarrassed, but I still managed to maintain a smile: "Hello, senior!"
"Welcome to the Liuguang Castle. I'm Tian Yifeng. We've met before." The gentle young man who came over last had a pair of eyes as warm as spring water. He reached out and pulled the girl who was still winking forward, and touched her hair lovingly. When he looked at me again, he had restored his polite smile, "Junior sister Jenny, please sit down."
Well... finally something normal.
I was about to say thank you when Hua Qianye suddenly interrupted me.
"Haha! Come on! Junior sister Jenny, sit here. We just mentioned you. Tell us how you made that Norn look like that? We really admire you!"
I dodged the enthusiastic hands of Hana Chiba-senpai. My face suddenly felt hot. How could I dare to sit down? I waved my hands repeatedly: "No... I didn't do anything to him, I..."
I'm about to cry.
All you crazy girls, come and take a look. It turns out that the seniors you admire are even more gossipy than you, woo woo...
I looked for help towards Xiang Qianqian who was holding senior Tian Yifeng's arm and whispering sweetly, hoping that she could save me from the dire situation.
"Alright, alright! Just let Jenny go!" After receiving my distress signal, Senior Sister Qianqian's eyes rolled around, then she came over with a smile and held my hand, then turned around and glared at Hua Qianye who was making a fuss, "Jenny came here to visit Nuoen, why would she chat with you guys!"
After saying that, she winked at me, looking as if she was thinking about me, and pointed upstairs : "Go quickly, Jenny, that guy Norn might be waiting anxiously. Haha! You can just pretend we don't exist!"
"I..." I didn't know what else to say. Looking at Hua Qianye's regretful expression and her ambiguous smile to Qian Qian, I had a feeling that if I stayed here, I might attract more ridicule. I had to pretend that I didn't understand what Senior Qian Qian said, and walked upstairs after whispering thank you.
It was not until this moment that I finally saw clearly that, except for the hall downstairs, the upper floors of the castle were all divided into rooms. Doors of various patterns and styles were tightly closed, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
I walked up the wooden staircase to the second floor. When I was hesitating about which direction to go, I suddenly heard the guidance of my senior sister from downstairs: "Go right! Go right! The one with the open door is it!"
Turning around, I saw that the silver-white metal door of the second room from my right was indeed open.
Almost subconsciously, I determined that this must be Norn's room.
At this moment, four pairs of eyes downstairs were staring at me intently. Hua Qianye had an eager expression on his face, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to rush up and go in with me.
terrible!
My heart skipped a beat and without even thinking, I rushed into the door and slammed it shut.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The moment the door was closed, loud laughter rang out from downstairs, and judging from the voices, Hua Qianye and Xiang Qian's voices were the loudest.
I... why am I so naughty? Why did you close the door? I just came to visit a patient, there is nothing confidential, I can't wash myself clean even if I jump into the Yellow River...
Just when I was feeling extremely frustrated, I heard a cold snort in my ear, and I knew who it was without having to guess.
I turned around with a sad face, but was met with a pair of sad eyes. Norn was sitting on the bed, staring at me, as if I owed him a lot of money.
Compared to the person downstairs, the guy in front of me is more terrifying!
After not seeing him for a few days, he had lost a lot of weight. His pale face was almost transparent, and his pointed chin was even more frightening. He looked really sick. He didn't say anything, just stared at me, which made me feel very stressed.
Hey, why don’t you say anything? It’s so awkward for us to just stare at each other like this!
Seeing that he showed no sign of speaking for a long time, I had to speak slowly.
"Um... I..." I racked my brains to find an opening line, and finally decided to explain what happened that day first, "I really didn't mean it that day. You heard it, Yao Shanshan insisted on taking me away with her. In fact, I went back later, but the door of the laboratory building was also locked, and I didn't have your cell phone number, so..."
I blinked, trying to make him feel my sincerity.
However, what happened to him that he couldn't move his whole body?
"snort!"
Under my questioning gaze, his expression gradually softened, but he still looked very angry, and when he finally spoke, his voice was full of accusations.
"Do you know how serious the mistake you made is?" He pulled back the quilt, revealing a body wrapped like a mummy, and looked at me angrily. "Didn't you hear the sound of broken bones when you stuffed me under the table that day? How could there be such a barbaric girl like you in the world? Several bones in my body were broken! And you even ran away without any loyalty. How can you treat your savior like this? I had no choice but to call Tian Yifeng and the others, and was finally rescued after being laughed at by them tens of thousands of times..."
I'm sure this must be the longest speech Norn has ever said in his life, and after he finished speaking, he was panting and staring at me, as if to see if I would feel guilty.
Oh my god! I feel more than guilty. I feel like I am dying of guilt.
I just remembered that when I used my hands and feet to stuff him in that day, I did hear a sound similar to "click", but I thought it was the sound of Yao Shanshan unlocking the door outside. How could I know...
Wuuwuwu! I couldn't say anything more. My heart was already drowned by the tide of guilt. The gauze wrapped around his body hurt my eyes, and his condemning look made me feel like a sinner! I never knew that guilt could be so tormenting. It tortured me so much that my nose was sore.
The next moment, I heard my own choked voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this..."
I regretted it so much that my intestines turned green. If I had known that the consequences would be like this, I would rather be punished by Yao Shanshan to clean the laboratory all night than to see Norn become like this because of me.
"Hey! I'm the one who's injured. Why are you acting like you're about to cry? It's annoying, you know that!" Just when I was about to cry, Norn, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly showed an awkward expression and shouted at me in a rough voice, "Don't cry! I'm not dead, I'm just a little injured..."
After saying that, he seemed to realize that his current physical condition was more than just a “little injury”, and with a look of annoyance, he reached out to cover himself with the quilt, then turned his head to the side and muttered, “Anyway, I don’t want to do anything to you!”
This guy……
If it weren't for the wrong time and place, I would have burst into laughter.
I've never met such a stubborn person. He obviously didn't want to make me feel guilty, but he had to say it in such a fierce tone. He is really hard on the outside but soft on the inside!
The room suddenly became quiet, and the sour feeling in my nasal cavity slowly subsided, replaced by the warmth gradually rising in my chest.
Actually, apart from the ridiculous peeping incident when we first met, although Norn's strange behavior made me very angry over the past long time, it actually did not cause me any harm. On the contrary, he appeared by my side when I needed help the most, and I made him become like this.
A huge guilt once again took over my heart. I desperately needed a chance to make up for my sins. I...
Huh? Why did I catch Norn's sneak glance at me? Could it be that he... has been secretly watching me all along?
But why was he peeking at me? Was it because I wasn't sincere enough in admitting my mistake just now, so he was still a little dissatisfied?
How can that be? You know, I really want to take my heart out and put it in front of him.
"Senior! This is all my fault. Go ahead and beat me up or scold me. I have absolutely no complaints!"
At the critical moment, I made up my mind and waited eagerly for his verdict.
However, one minute passed, two minutes passed, three minutes passed... Norn on the opposite side still did not speak, but the struggle on his face became more and more obvious. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but was hesitating.
"Senior, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I can accept all the punishments! Really!" I quickly added fuel to the fire.
"Well..." He raised his head hesitantly, his eyes flickering, as if he had finally made up his mind, "Forget it! Since you still have a repentant heart, I will reluctantly forgive you. But I will be unable to move around these few days, so I may need your help. If you don't want to because of what happened in the past..."
To me, the voice was like the sound of nature. My heart was filled with joy for a moment. I immediately rushed over and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I do! I do!"
I patted my chest and my eyes sparkled with hope. "Let's forget about the past. From now on, I will do anything to make you happy! I will take care of you until you are satisfied!"
I looked at the person who could decide my fate with pleading eyes, hoping that he could feel my sincerity from the bottom of my heart.
Perhaps my attitude was too firm, Norn seemed a little frightened. He looked at me in disbelief, and nodded after a long while: "Well... well, don't regret it."
"No regrets! Absolutely no regrets!" My words were loud and clear, and I immediately regained my vitality. "Tell me, senior, what do you need me to do?"
I looked at him eagerly.
"Then... um... go downstairs to the kitchen and get me some peppers."
"Okay! Senior, please wait a moment!"
I rushed out like the wind.
