Chapter 7 Pink Amber, Still Eternity 01
The news that Le'ou and I were dating soon became big news in the school. Although ordinary students could not enter Xingxiu Building, every afternoon after school, when Le'ou sent me home, I could always hear the chirping of discussions on the side of the road:
"Ye Ye, it's Ye Ye, she is indeed dating Master Le Ou."
"She is worthy of being called rice cake by Master Jichu. She must be the one who sticks to Master Leou."
"How are they a match? Master Leou is much prettier than Ye Ye, and that Ye Ye doesn't look like a girl at all!"
"He has rough hands and feet, and he has the temperament of a street thug. He's really annoying!"
"Oh, stop talking. Master Leo will be unhappy if he hears it."
"Humph, I wonder what tricks that woman used?"
…
Even Bai Yuanyuan would often hold her chin and sigh to me: "Xiao Ye, the school website is so messy now. Everyone seems to be very dissatisfied with your relationship with Master Le Ou. It's really strange. What does this have to do with them? But, Xiao Ye, are you really dating Master Le Ou? Is this really your choice? Why do you look so unhappy?"
"I'm not happy? What a joke. I don't know how happy I am right now!" I jumped up and patted Bai Yuanyuan on the head, laughing exaggeratedly. "My life now is exactly the life I dreamed of. Le Ou is so good to me, how can I not be happy? Haha..."
Yes, Leo is so good to me, how can I not be happy?
But no matter how I laugh, no matter how happily I laugh, there is always a place in my heart that feels empty, as if it has been dug out.
"Xiao Ye, what are you thinking about? The steak won't taste good if it's cold."
During lunch, Bai Yuanyuan was "kidnapped" by Duanmu Jimo again. Le Ou of course didn't allow me to eat bread anymore. He originally wanted to take me to the restaurant for dinner, but I refused, so he had to have someone move the food to the rooftop of my favorite Xingxiu Building.
That’s right, not only food, but also a set of dining tables from the most famous restaurant in Yuhua City, Luoge Restaurant, were moved here, and there was even a chef and a waiter standing next to the table to serve us.
He probably mistook the rooftop of Xingxiu Building as a branch of Luoge Restaurant.
"Uh..." I came back to my senses from my distant thoughts, glanced at the delicious steak on the plate, then glanced at the chef and waiter standing next to me. I still felt uncomfortable, so I couldn't help but complain in a low voice to Le Ou who was sitting opposite me and eating beautifully and elegantly, "Um... Le Ou, can you ask them to leave first? I really can't eat while being watched..."
"I see." Le Ou nodded when he saw my embarrassed expression, waved his hand to let the chef and waiter leave, then smiled and picked up the napkin to wipe the sauce that accidentally stained the corner of my mouth, "I asked them to leave, now I will serve Xiao Ye."
"Ah..." Although we were dating, it was the first time I was treated so intimately. I couldn't help but blush and reflexively shrank back, "No... Don't do it, I'm not disabled."
"But it's the boyfriend's duty to serve his girlfriend." Leo got serious and insisted on pulling me back. He continued to wipe the sauce from the corner of my mouth, then curved his eyebrows and smiled sweetly, "I'm very happy to serve Xiaoye, and I want to be Xiaoye's waiter for the rest of my life."
"How can that be? You are the grandson of a prince, the grandson of the king of Magaso. How can I allow you to do such a thing!" I dodged his hand and tried to find a reasonable excuse for my words, "You have to pay attention to the image of the royal family."
"Xiao Ye, you blushed!" Le Ou looked at me and suddenly shouted excitedly as if he had discovered a new world, "Xiao Ye, you really blushed, so cute!"
"Uh...is there?" I touched my face and it felt slightly hot.
Le Ou happily reached out his hand and gently touched my face, murmuring as if he was observing a new species: "Red, pink, fleshy, like... Oh, by the way, Xiaoye, didn't I say before that I would carve our names on the rose petals and then make them into amber? The process is a bit complicated, but I finally did it, just last night..."
Leo said, and excitedly took out two brocade boxes from his uniform pocket, one pink and one sky blue, and then handed the pink one to me, smiling happily and saying, "Open it and take a look."
I slowly opened the brocade box, and felt a gentle pink light slowly overflowing from it. Then, a teardrop-shaped pink amber appeared in front of me. Inside the transparent pink amber seemed to be a wonderful magical world. There was a red rose petal that had just fallen, standing there forever. There was a heart shape engraved on it, and two words were written on it - Ou Ye.
Although I don't know how this pink amber is made, it is really beautiful. It looks really beautiful when strung with a silver chain and placed in a pink box.
I looked at Le Ou in surprise. Le Ou was opening the blue box in his hand. Inside was the same amber as the pink amber in my hand, but his amber was blue, just like his eyes, transparent and pure, yet sparkling with bright blue.
"This... this was made by you?"
It’s hard to imagine something so complicated!
"Of course. Something this important would be meaningless if I didn't make it myself."
Leo's expression was very serious. He took the amber from my hand, unfastened the buckle on the chain, and put it on me gently and carefully. Then he leaned over and kissed the amber before gently putting it down. The cold amber touched my skin, and it seemed to be hotter than fire.
"Besides, if someone else were to do something so close to Xiaoye's body, I would be jealous. Xiaoye, do you like it?"
His smile was so bright that I couldn't help but feel tears welling up in my eyes. I sniffed hard and nodded heavily: "Yeah, I like it."
No one would dislike such thoughtful affection, but Le'ou, please don't be so nice to me, because the nicer you are to me, the stronger my sense of guilt will be, and the more I will be unable to help but think of Duanmu Jichu's expression when he said to me by the fountain, "Go with him," and the more I will be unable to help but feel sad...
Leo...
sorry!
The classes in the "Isolation and Examination Classroom" were still going on , but Duanmu Jimu seemed to be increasingly displeased with me.
"Classmate Nian Gao, were you dating Le Ou just now? You were so happy, weren't you? But your smile was so disgusting!" Duanmu Jimu rarely showed me a fox-like smile, but instead had a stern face, as if he wanted to criticize me, "You are obviously having a hot relationship with my brother, but now you are dating Le Ou. Do you know what you are called? The idiom of being fickle is specially prepared for you. Thank you so much, you have strengthened my understanding of this word a hundred times!"
After hearing what he said, I, who had originally planned to attend class and get along well with him, couldn't help but get angry: "Master Ji Mo, what do you mean by this?"
"Oh my, what's with that expression on your face? Are you angry?" Duanmu Jimu came up to me and blinked at me with an innocent look, "Did I say something wrong? I don't know who it is that always does something ridiculous to attract my brother's attention, and then runs away after doing it. How irresponsible!"
"I don't."
"You don't? That's really strange. If you don't, how could a girl like you who is ugly and has a bad temper be liked by my brother who has first-class grades, first-class brains, and first-class management skills?"
"I can barely tolerate the fact that my most outstanding brother falls in love with an ordinary girl, but if my brother gets hurt by someone like you who is wavering and can't see clearly his own heart, I absolutely cannot tolerate it!"
After saying this, Duanmu Jimo ignored me and didn't speak for the entire class. I was in a daze and didn't even notice that Ximen, the teacher of the next class, had come to me.
"unhappy?"
Simon sat at the table across from me and asked me expressionlessly. Seeing that I didn't respond, he reached out and patted my shoulder, then continued to ask, "What's wrong?"
“Ah, you’re here.” I woke up as if from a dream, and quickly searched for the tea ceremony book on the table, but I couldn’t find the green-covered book. I didn’t know if it was because the table hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, so there was a lot of dust. I was choking and wanted to cry. “I’m sorry, wait a minute…Tea ceremony book, tea ceremony book, uh, what’s going on? There’s so much dust, it seems the table needs to be cleaned, it’s choking and I want to cry…ha…haha…woohoo…”
I was trying to put on a smile, but I was such a useless person. I couldn’t help crying in the end. Luckily, I finally found the book with a green cover. I took the book to the table and opened it while crying: “Yesterday… yesterday I was talking about the third chapter… wuwuwu… I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to cry, I just couldn’t stop the tears… It’s so strange, why should I cry… wuwuwu…”
Simon sat opposite me and watched me cry quietly. His silence instantly magnified the distress in my heart many times. I could no longer suppress my sadness and burst into tears on the table.
It's no big deal. It's not a sin for a man to cry, and it's even less of a sin for a little girl like me to cry. Besides, Ximen will definitely not tell anyone about my crying... That's right, cry, Ye Ye, cry as much as you want!
Wuuwuwu…wuuwuwu…wuuwuwu…wuuwuwu…
It turns out that crying feels so good. Those who try hard to hold back their tears to look cool are all idiots. I comforted myself in my heart while crying. Psychologically, it was as if I had received permission. I cried loudly and shouted incoherently: "Wuwuwu... Why do you blame everything on me? Wuwuwu, I am the victim... Push me to others, push me out because you don't want your good friend to get hurt... That bastard, did he think I wouldn't get hurt? Third-rate defective products will also be sad... Wuwuwu, I have never seen such a cowardly person... Duanmu Jichu is a bastard! And Duanmu Jimu is also a bastard, calling me fickle... Yes, I am fickle, but what should I do? I don't want to see Leou sad... Is it wrong for me not to want to see others sad? Wuwuwu... And this is what that bastard Duanmu Jichu wants, I just did what he wanted... Wuwuwu, because I don't know what to do except doing this..."
I cried and yelled intermittently. I don’t know how long it was before the person in front of me suddenly reached out a hand and patted my head gently, then stroked my head gently like stroking a puppy: “You are not…”
It's Simon...
I raised my head and looked at him with my red and swollen eyes. His beautiful face actually showed a subtle expression. His dark eyes that I couldn't see the bottom of looked at me, and seemed to be flashing with a strange light. Then he moved his lips and said, "You are not."
I know that he never says more than three words in a sentence. It is said that he has been like this since he was a child. He doesn't like to talk very much. No one can force him to say the fourth word. But I wanted to be comforted, but I only heard the sentence "You are not" and I couldn't understand what he meant at all. So I asked while sobbing:
"What am I not? Am I not a good girl? I just know that you young masters who are good at everything will look down on a hoodlum like me who can only fight on the streets... wuwuwu..."
"You're not..." He seemed a little anxious. Although the degree of anxiety was small, I could still clearly see that his brows slightly wrinkled and his face was also slightly flushed. After finishing the previous words, he paused and forcibly divided the sentence into two: "Fickle... flirtatious..."
When he said the last word "花", it seemed difficult to pronounce it, but he still said it, one sentence, four words...
I opened my mouth in surprise, staring at Ximen with red eyes and said, "Xi... Master Ximen, you said four words..."
Simon's cheeks seemed to get even redder after I yelled at him. He put his hand on top of my head again and stroked me like a puppy. "Don't cry. You're fine. Don't cry."
Then I really forgot to cry, because what happened in front of me shocked me so much, the always expressionless Master Ximen not only said four words in one sentence, but also blushed and frowned!
Wow! This is so amazing! I have to take a picture and post it online. It will definitely cause a sensation in the whole school.
Well, you see, I recovered easily after crying. It’s no big deal. Duanmu Jichu, even if you treat me like this, it’s no big deal.
Even though I haven't seen you for several days, I don't miss you at all, not at all!
