Chapter 6 A Prince is Missing in My Life 2
Three days later——
Ah! Although it is sunny and cloudless outside, my sky is still gloomy.
I secretly covered my face with a silk scarf, carried the food tray, and quietly went up to the second floor. I found a corner by the window and sat down. There were not many people in the restaurant now, so it would not be easy to be discovered if I came to eat at this time.
Poor me, I have recently become the "darling" of the news agency. No matter where I go, I cannot escape the fate of being secretly photographed and invited for interviews.
"Hi! Zhencheng, what a coincidence!" Suddenly, a hand patted my shoulder from behind.
The spoon in my hand fell onto the table with a thud. I reflexively lay down on the table and hid my face.
"Help! I don't want to be interviewed. Please let me go. Xia Arthur and I are just ordinary friends..."
"Zhencheng, it's me! Lily!"
I raised my head cautiously, and sure enough, Lily's lovely face appeared in front of me. Behind the big glasses, her round eyes blinked and looked at me curiously.
“Huh…” I breathed a sigh of relief, “I thought it was those people from the Gossip Club again!”
"You idiot! I spotted you right away. You can't hide this from the people in the news agency!" Lily looked around and loyally used her body to block me.
"Oh..." I sighed and picked up the spoon to eat. "I don't understand why things turned out like this. You know, I have nothing to do with that guy Xia Arthur!"
...Well, actually, he and I still have a little bit of relationship, but he recently received a game reward and has completely returned to his normal life, and I rarely go home with him!
Lily patted my shoulder comfortingly, and suddenly put on a gossipy look: "By the way, you've been busy hiding lately, so you must not have heard about the latest gossip at Blaise Academy!"
"What...it doesn't seem to be related to me again, does it?" I asked weakly.
"Of course not!" Lily raised her round glasses and said, "Did you notice that Ji Peipei was late for school today?"
"What's wrong with being late? I'm often late too!"
What big news is this? Because I was with Xi Yasser before, I would come to school very early every time, for fear that others would see me and him together. But in the past few days, I often slept until noon and couldn't even get up!
"But how can she be the same as us? You know, everyone has always thought that Ji Peipei went to school in a private car!" Lily raised a finger mysteriously and shook it at me, "But today someone came to the college early and found that Ji Peipei actually got off the bus in front!"
"Ah?" I was stunned, and suddenly thought of the embarrassing scene when Ji Peipei and I met on the bus before.
Could it be that Ji Peipei actually cares a lot about taking the bus to school?
"Why is everyone so boring! What is there to talk about..." I frowned.
Unexpectedly, Lily also frowned: "Yeah, just because of this rumor, now everyone is saying that Ji Peipei is not worthy of being a goddess at all, she is just a poor guy who takes the bus to school! It's too much!"
I silently clenched my fists and fell into silence with Lily.
"Forget it, this matter should be over soon." Lily clapped her hands and prepared to leave. "By the way, Zhencheng, come to my house when you have time!"
"Yeah!" I waved at Lily, but found that she didn't leave. Instead, she stared at my back with a look of surprise.
What happened?
I turned my head and suddenly found a slender figure appearing in front of me. She was wearing a purple polka dot dress. Her hairstyle was still as gorgeous as before, decorated with countless tiny crystals.
"Ji Peipei?"
The arrogant look on her pretty face disappeared, and her willow-shaped eyebrows were squeezed together in annoyance.
"Zhencheng, why can you still pretend to be so innocent? I really hate you!" Ji Peipei's eyes were red. It was the first time I saw her so angry.
"I'm sorry...what were you saying?" I thought I had misheard and couldn't help but ask.
"Now everyone says I'm not worthy of being a goddess. Are you happy? Besides you, who else has seen me taking the bus?" Her tone was so vicious that I shivered involuntarily.
Could it be... did she think I was the one who spread the rumor? No, how could that be possible?
"No... Listen to my explanation!" I stood up excitedly and comforted her incoherently, "I just heard this rumor too... You, don't be angry. In my heart, you are the most perfect goddess in the academy no matter what!"
"Yes, yes! I can testify that Zhencheng just found out about it!" Lily is indeed my good friend, and she tried her best to help speak up for me.
However, these words of comfort instead angered Ji Peipei. Her eyes became even redder and her clenched fists made a squeaking sound.
"Stop pretending to be a nice guy! You two are good friends, of course you will speak up for each other!"
Oh my God, I really mean it!
It looked like Ji Peipei was really sad. Her tears rolled down like crystals shattering on the ground. Although there were not many people in the restaurant, they all looked in our direction... I was really inconsolable and could only desperately say "it's not me".
But now she couldn't listen to what I said at all. Her anger was rising. She closed her eyes and shouted, "Why! Why did you say that! Why did you slander me!"
Looking at the crazy Ji Peipei, I was stunned, but at the same time, I actually felt a little sympathy and sadness - she really cared too much about her image in other people's minds, and a little bit of rumor was enough to bring her down.
How can Ji Peipei still have the image of a perfect princess now?
I said softly, "Peipei, I know you always pursue perfection, but is the title of 'goddess' really that important? Is it more important than your own happiness?"
Ji Peipei looked at me with tears in her eyes, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes. I thought my words had worked, but unexpectedly, she was only stunned for a moment and suddenly became even more violent.
"You know what...know what?"
While roaring, she grabbed things from the dining table and threw them out of the window as if to vent her anger.
"ah!"
It's my cell phone!
"No!" I stepped onto the table and rushed over without thinking.
"It's really orange!" Lily's terrified scream came from behind.
At this moment, my mind was blank. I could only see the phone spinning in circles in the air. The screen reflected the bright sunlight, which hurt my eyes.
You know, this is the second floor! Although Xi Yasser is not in the phone now, if my phone is broken like this, I don’t know what will happen then!
Ah! Just a little bit! I can catch it!
When my fingers touched the slightly cool fuselage, the breath I had been holding finally came out smoothly, but -
"Huh?"
How come half of my body is outside the window?
“Oh my God!”
"Hold the window frame!"
…
Someone was shouting anxiously behind me, and I could even hear Ji Peipei crying loudly. But those voices seemed very far away from me, as if they were coming through a thick curtain. All I could hear was the whirring sound of the wind, and I was completely stunned.
This is the third floor! I never thought that my life would end this way, without even leaving a suicide note...
Seeing myself about to fall headfirst to the ground, I couldn’t bear to watch any longer and closed my eyes.
"So orange!"
Suddenly, I felt a huge force on my waist, stopping my falling. A pair of white and strong hands reached out from behind and held my waist tightly.
