I didn't sleep well all night. I dreamed that Feng Jingye was looking for a bracelet in the mud. Just when he found it, a dazzling light flashed by and a car ran over him. The happy smile on his face froze from then on. Then I woke up from the dream, covered in cold sweat.
When I went to school in the morning, I had a splitting headache. I had been caught in the rain and had nightmares all night. I felt confused and had no energy at all.
Sora dressed neatly as usual, sat at the dining table early, and ate breakfast leisurely with Keten.
When he saw me getting up, he pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Come and eat too. There is a breakfast for you today."
I looked at him in surprise; he had never been so kind before.
Seeing my strange expression, he spread his arms and said, "Keten said that he auctioned your things without your consent, so he made you breakfast as compensation."
I knew he wouldn't be nice to me for no reason. I looked at Coten and said with a smile, "Thank you." Then I looked at Sora and said unhappily, "I have no appetite."
"Someone is guilty and cannot eat anymore." Sora said deliberately in an infuriating tone without looking at me.
I knew he was alluding to what happened last night, and I immediately felt a surge of anger in my heart. I picked up my schoolbag, ignored them, and went to school.
"Aren't you afraid of meeting a pervert again?" I heard Sora's "caring" greeting when I was changing my shoes.
I felt that he was deliberately trying to ignite my powder keg, so I refused to let him succeed. I turned around and looked at him with an especially bright smile: "Thank you for your concern, but I feel safer without you around." After saying that, before he could answer, I pointed at the pasta he was eating and smiled, "Also, eating such greasy food in the morning, I hope you don't have indigestion."
As soon as I finished speaking, he choked.
Seeing him chomping at the water and drinking it in embarrassment, my face darkened and I turned away.
When I arrived at school, I deliberately slowed down, hoping to see Feng Jingye suddenly jump out from some bushes or corner and give me a very "precious" gift as usual.
But I didn't see any trace of him as I walked along the way. Thinking about the thunder and lightning last night, I felt even more worried. Could something really have happened to him?
I listened attentively to everyone's gossip. I wanted to hear some news about Feng Jingye from everyone, but I didn't catch any information. I didn't give up, and deliberately walked around outside Feng Jingye's classroom. Logically, if he was in the classroom, he would definitely come out to see me. But I walked around for a long time, and when the class was about to start, I still didn't see him. Instead, a bunch of curious people squatted by the flower bed in the distance, pointing at me and talking about me.
I had a bad feeling, and my heart felt like a heavy stone was pressing down on me. I turned and walked towards the classroom. Just as I sat down, Sora came over and whispered in my ear, "I just heard from the dean that Feng Jingye didn't come to class."
I ignored him, but my heart became even heavier.
"Could something really have happened to that unlucky kid Feng Jingye?" Sora said as if he suddenly remembered something.
I was getting more and more worried, but I didn't want Sora to notice anything, so I glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"I hope I'm just talking nonsense." He shrugged and said seriously.
My heart felt like it was covered in weeds and was a mess. Last night's nightmare replayed in my mind like a movie. I kept comforting myself that Feng Jingye would be fine. Even if something happened to him, it had nothing to do with me. I had no obligation to send him home, so I couldn't be blamed for anything.
I thought about this and didn't listen to a word the teacher said. As soon as the get out of class was over, I ran out of the classroom and walked around outside Feng Jingye's classroom, hoping that he would appear in front of me soon, but he never came. I was so confused that I tossed around for the whole morning. At noon, I was exhausted and about to collapse.
Sora saw me slumped over the table and asked me, "Aren't you going to have lunch?"
"I have no appetite." I said perfunctorily, not feeling hungry at all.
"You didn't eat anything in the morning. If you don't eat at noon, you'll be starving. Besides, even if you're worried about Feng Jingye, you don't have to torture yourself like this." He deliberately provoked me.
"It's not what you think. If you want to eat, go ahead and eat. Why do you care about me?" I was extremely angry. If anything happened to Feng Jingye, it would definitely be Sora's responsibility. He had been cursing Feng Jingye behind his back.
"Well, I'll eat your share too," Sora said viciously.
I looked up and glared at him in disgust, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure wandering in front of our classroom door from the corner of my eye. When the person saw me looking up, he immediately hid in the corner.
Isn’t that person Feng Jingye?
My heart was suddenly filled with joy. I stood up and ran quickly to the door.
Sure enough, Feng Jingye was standing against the wall at the door of our classroom, his face pale and bloodless, looking sick. When he saw me suddenly appear in front of him, he was so scared that he was stunned all over, put his hands against the wall, and looked at me timidly.
My heart was pounding. Although he was pale, he was alive after all. It was so good!
"Ms. Moli, I'm sorry." He said suddenly after hesitating for a while.
"Don't say that. Why didn't you come to class this morning?" I said in an anxious tone.
When he saw that I cared about him, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in his dark eyes, and his voice trembled slightly: "I caught a cold last night... cough cough..." He started coughing before he finished speaking. After he finally caught his breath, he said, "I still haven't found the bracelet..." He couldn't go on, and tears welled up in his eyes again.
I saw that he was so weak that he couldn't even stand, but he was still sad about the bracelet. I quickly took off the diamond-studded hairpin from my head, handed it to him and said, "This is for you, don't be sad."
He looked at the hairpin in my hand with great delight and asked in disbelief, "You gave it to me?"
"Yes." I nodded, feeling relieved when I saw the blush on his face.
He carefully held the hairpin in his palm, the smile on his face became even more intense, and he returned to his former passion: "Ms. Moli, you are really my goddess."
I was complimented by him and felt shy for no reason. I quickly put on a cool attitude and said, "This matter has come to an end, but don't do this again in the future. Your mother will worry about you."
He nodded frequently, saying obediently, "I will remember what Miss Moli said and never do this again." His face turned even redder, and he said hesitantly, "But, I was really sorry that I didn't treat you when you came to my house yesterday. Next time Miss Moli comes to my house..."
I knew that he was vain again, so I quickly said, "Your mother's cooking was delicious and thoughtful. I was very happy yesterday. It's just that..." I paused, thinking of his mother, and felt uncomfortable. I looked up at Ding Feng Jingye and said clearly, "You shouldn't have lied to me."
When he heard this, his body shook violently, and I could feel his nervousness and shame.
"I'm sorry, my family has never been a noble family. We don't have any money at all. Miss Moli will definitely hate me, right? I just think that if I say I'm rich, I won't be that far behind Miss Moli."
Although I have a good family background, I don't judge people by money. Even if Beitang Ying has a good family background, I don't necessarily take him seriously. But Feng Jingye's eyes clearly showed his infinite desire for money and his self-pity for his humble family background. I thought of his mother and felt sad. There are so many families like mine, where parents are basically not at home all year round. Even if there are housekeepers and servants to accompany them, it is not perfect after all. How can Feng Jingye understand these?
"Feng Jingye, being poor does not necessarily mean being unhappy. You have a mother who loves you, which is more valuable than any amount of money." I spoke to him seriously with deep emotion.
He lowered his head and said in a voice as low as a mosquito: "I thought Mom was embarrassed and would be looked down upon by you."
I got a little angry when I heard him say that, and I said quickly, "Your mother is a great woman, how can you say that about her? Money is not omnipotent, it can't buy happiness, nor can it buy family affection. And you can make a lot of money with your own abilities in the future, but you only have one mother, do you understand?"
Feng Jingye was stunned by what I said. He was stunned for a while before he reacted. He suddenly said loudly, "I will be good to my mother. I will make money to support myself with my own ability instead of relying on my mother." After that, he looked at me gratefully, subconsciously grabbed my hand, and said seriously, "Thank you, Miss Moli."
The hairpin in his palm poked my fingers and it was a little painful, but I didn't hate him holding my hand. Instead, I felt an indescribable surge of emotion from the warmth of his palm, and my body and mind became exceptionally comfortable.
After Feng Jingye left, Sora came up to me with a half-smile on his face.
"I didn't expect Miss Qian Moli to say something as thought-provoking as 'Money is not everything.'" His words were sarcasm, deliberately mocking me.
My face flushed and I muttered, “I think his mother has a hard time, that’s why she said those words.”
"Anyway, you have changed a little bit. It's like you've turned from a devil back into an angel." The smile on his face became even more intense, and he looked at me and said.
"What devil? I am an angel!" I glared at him.
"So Miss Angel, are you hungry?" he asked nonchalantly, not taking it seriously.
After he mentioned that, I really felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I was indeed a little hungry. I subconsciously touched my stomach with my hand and glanced at Sora out of the corner of my eye. If I admitted that I was hungry, he would definitely say that I was inconsistent. Wouldn't it be endless? So I immediately said nonchalantly: "I'm not hungry at all, go eat it yourself!"
"But I heard that there are sweet and sour pork ribs, crispy cod fillets, and delicious hairy crabs in the cafeteria today. Each person has a limited amount. If you don't want to eat them, I will have to eat them for you." He raised his eyebrows and looked at me with a sly smile.
Hairy crab? Codfish? Spare ribs? Why is today's lunch so rich!
The thought of delicious food kept circling in my mind. My stomach was feeling sour from lack of food. I wanted to rush to the restaurant and feast on it.
"If you don't go to dinner, I'll think you're mad at me and mean." Sora grumbled again.
"Hmph! Of course I won't be angry with you. Just eat. What's the big deal!" I said stubbornly and walked towards the restaurant.
Sora suddenly covered his mouth and laughed. I turned around and glared at him. What was he laughing at?
He put his hand down, the corners of his lips curved up into a nice smile, and he said softly: "You can be cute sometimes."
I was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he was praising me or criticizing me, and even forgot to reply. He smiled and walked towards the restaurant ahead of me.
Only then did I react, my face suddenly flushed, and I followed him with some dissatisfaction to have dinner together.
During the afternoon class, our homeroom teacher announced an astonishing news to us: Fei Xuanzi, an excellent student at Emma Girls' College, transferred to our school.
I had only heard that she was a good student, and didn't know what she looked like. But when she appeared in front of me standing on the podium, I finally came to my senses.
She is not tall, but looks very fit and well-proportioned. Her short black hair sets off her pointed cheeks, which makes her look pretty. Her wheat-colored skin makes her look very healthy. However, there is always a boyish air in her every move, and she lacks the gentleness and grace of a girl.
"Hello everyone, my name is Fei Xuanzi, please give me your guidance in the future." She bowed to everyone neatly and walked straight to the podium. Suddenly she stopped between Sora and me. She paused and ordered me directly, "I want to sit in this seat, can you give way?"
I looked at her in amazement. The circle of top students is so narrow. She should know that I am one of the best in the class and even in the school, right? How dare she be so rude! So, I responded politely without showing weakness: "Sorry, this is my seat. You can choose another vacant seat."
"I just want to sit in this position!" There was a hint of arrogance in Fei Xuanzi's eyes.
Only then did I realize that she was deliberately making things difficult for me.
"Although you are a transfer student, everyone has an obligation to help you, but this does not mean we will indulge you, so please choose another seat." I suppressed my rising anger and spoke to Fei Xuanzi politely.
"You don't want to give in, unless you admit that you like him!" Fei Xuanzi turned his body suddenly and said to Sora who was sitting next to him with great dissatisfaction.
I was shocked. What did her trying to take my seat have to do with me admitting that I liked Sora? It was totally unreasonable.
Sora raised her eyelids and was indifferent to the dispute between Fei Xuanzi and me.
"Student Fei Xuanzi, this is what's going on. Sora's academic performance is not good, so I asked Qian Moli to tutor him after school. So you should choose another seat?" When the teacher saw us arguing, he quickly advised us in a kind way.
Fei Xuanzi's face immediately turned red, and she fixed her eyes on Sora's face, refusing to look away for a long time.
Sora didn't notice anything at all, and stared at the ancient poetry in the book with a confused look on his face and sleepy eyes.
I stared at Fei Xuanzi in surprise. She looked at Sora with a strange look in her eyes. Did they know each other before? But Sora was clearly the reincarnation of the God of Bad Luck. He came to our school and stayed with me all day. I didn't see him interacting with other people. The more I thought about it, the more strange it felt.
At this moment, Fei Xuanzi suddenly lowered her head, her eyes full of nervousness, urgency and shyness. She stared at Sora expectantly, her voice trembling: "Sora, I noticed you the moment I entered the classroom. I like you so much. Please be my boyfriend!"
The classroom suddenly fell silent, and even the teacher at the podium opened his mouth wide.
I was shocked, and my chest felt tight. Even though Fei Xuanzi had excellent grades and the teacher gave her three points, this was a classroom after all, and she actually confessed to Sora in public! She could confess to anyone, why did she choose Sora? I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word. I stared at Sora with wide eyes, wanting to see how he would answer.
Sora then raised his head from the ancient poem he was reciting, looked at Fei Xuanzi calmly and said, "But it's not convenient for me to be your boyfriend. You should find someone else." After that, he looked in my direction. I panicked and quickly avoided his sight. He didn't care at all and continued reading the ancient poem.
Fei Xuanzi was greatly insulted. Her bright black eyes dimmed and her voice trembled violently: "What's the inconvenience? Do you have a girlfriend?"
"I don't have a girlfriend, but I have a rumored girlfriend, her." Sora pointed at me irresponsibly, and dozens of pairs of eyes in the class looked at me.
My heart trembled suddenly, and I shook my head repeatedly to avoid it: "I have nothing to do with him."
Fei Xuanzi was both embarrassed and angry. She ran to the back of the classroom and sat down in a random seat. The look in her eyes when she looked at me was like two knives, almost cutting my flesh.
I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles for the entire class, as if there was a pair of eyes behind me staring at me angrily, ready to tear me to pieces at any time.
Sora still looked like an idiot in class, completely unaware that he had gotten into trouble today.
I knew I had offended Fei Xuanzi, and I was a little scared. Then I looked at Sora, who looked like an idiot. He looked like he had nothing to do with it. He was going back to the world of bad luck anyway, and he had nothing to worry about in the human world, but I had to continue living in the dire straits he brought me.
After the get out of class was over, I was planning to negotiate with Sora in private, warning him not to keep saying that I was his rumored girlfriend, as it would have a bad influence on both of us. But before I could talk to Sora, Fei Xuanzi ran to Sora's desk before me, and didn't forget to glare at me fiercely.
I think Fei Xuanzi is a very thick-skinned person. Sora just rejected her, but she came to Sora again after just one class. But I couldn't say it out loud, so I had to hold it in, pretending that I didn't see them, and continued to bury my head in my homework.
"I've heard Yu Hanmi talk about you before. She said you were a very good boy, so I wanted to come and see you. I've never seen you before, but the moment you entered the classroom, I felt that you were very different. I didn't expect you to be Sora!" Fei Xuanzi chattered in front of Sora.
Yu Hanmi?
I couldn't help but shudder. Some time ago, I was surrounded by gangsters. It was Yu Hanmi who hired someone to do it, but I didn't expect Fei Xuanzi also knew her. I suddenly remembered that Fei Xuanzi and Yu Hanmi were from the same school. How could I have forgotten it!
Sora stared at Fei Xuanzi with a confused look on his face and asked, "In the last exam, I was ranked last in the whole grade."
Fei Xuanzi was slightly stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect Sora to say such a thing, but she immediately regained her smile and said happily: "I don't care about your academic performance, I only care about you as a person."
I was very angry when I heard this. How much did Fei Xuanzi know about Sora? He was lazy, didn't help people in need, and stabbed people in the back. In short, he had a lot of bad habits. Moreover, he was a god who brought bad luck to people. Fei Xuanzi probably liked him because he looked okay, right?
Sora frowned and looked at Fei Xuanzi in confusion, and whispered to herself suspiciously: "Don't you girls like boys with good grades? It's really strange." Then he held his chin with his hand and said listlessly, "What's the benefit of being your boyfriend?"
When I heard him ask this, blood rushed to my head quickly. Isn't Sora too shameless?
Fei Xuanzi's two big eyes were full of stars. She excitedly grabbed Sora's hand and said loudly: "My father is the president of the Star Dream Entertainment City Catering Company. We can eat all kinds of food in the world and play any entertainment you want. I was the number one in our school. I can also help you with your homework and help you catch up with your grades!"
When Sora heard the word "delicious food", he immediately became energetic, his eyes were full of love, and he held Fei Xuanzi's hand and said infatuatedly: "Let's go eat delicious food after school?"
Fei Xuanzi didn't expect Sora to take the initiative to ask to have dinner together, and asked in disbelief: "Are you saying you want to date me?"
"As long as we're going to eat delicious food, anything is fine." Sora nodded like a chick pecking at rice, extremely happy.
In an instant, pink hearts were floating all over the classroom. Sora and Fei Xuanzi held each other's hands and looked into each other's eyes. It was so romantic!
I couldn't bear to watch it any longer. I felt upset. How could Sora be so casual?
Ever since Fei Xuanzi and Sora got together, Sora always went out early and came back late. Every night when he came back, he would lie on the sofa, holding his full belly and humming happily.
I particularly despised him, and seeing his expression of enjoyment with his eyes narrowed, I inexplicably felt a surge of anger in my heart.
"You had such a great time on your date with Fei Xuanzi, why don't you move in with her?" I stood in front of him with my arms crossed, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
He then opened his eyes and looked at me in confusion: "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
I looked up at the clock and it was already 10 o'clock in the evening. I didn't expect to wait for him so late, so I made up an excuse: "Who told you to make so much noise when you came home and woke me up!"
"Are you jealous?" He suddenly smiled and looked at me meaningfully.
I felt as if he had seen through my mind, and I immediately retorted with a blushing heartbeat: "How ridiculous! How could I be jealous? You are too narcissistic!"
"You said you weren't jealous, but I heard from Ke Teng that you stared at a pack of instant noodles tonight and then suddenly exploded. You madly crushed the noodles into crumbs and then forced him to cook and eat the crumbs. If you weren't envious of the delicacies I ate in the evening, why would you have a problem with instant noodles?" He raised his eyebrows and explained calmly.
My mind was suddenly confused. Why did Keten even say this to him? But then again, when Sola said jealous, did he mean that I envied the delicacies he ate?
I almost laughed my teeth off, so I looked at him with disdain and said, "I don't know how you grew up, but I don't care about the delicacies you talk about at all. From childhood to adulthood, I have eaten almost all the delicacies in the world, so I don't envy you!"
"Really? But why is it that now that I live in your house, I can only eat takeout or instant noodles every day, and can't enjoy any delicacies?" Sora questioned me with a dark face.
I was stumped by his question. I thought about how Uncle Wu had always taken care of my diet when he was here. Now that he's gone and I can't cook, the food won't be as rich as before. So I glared at Sola and said, "It's you who likes to order takeout!" Then I changed the subject and stared at Sola and said, "There's a mock exam the day after tomorrow. I'm going to help you with your homework. Don't go looking for Fei Xuanzi anymore!"
"But Fei Xuanzi promised me that we'd go eat honey-baked apples tomorrow, and she also promised to help me with my studies!" When Sora heard that I forbad him to go out, a pitiful expression of pain as if his flesh was being cut appeared on his face.
I was almost going crazy, why did he become like a 4-year-old kid when it came to eating? If other boys heard that I was going to condescend to help with his tutoring, they would probably be so excited that they lost their minds, but Sora had such a reluctant expression, he really deserved a beating!
"I'm the person appointed by the teacher to help you with your studies. How can Fei Xuanzi compete with me? Anyway, you have to stay here tomorrow. If you behave well, I will personally treat you to baked apples. Otherwise... otherwise I will punish Ke Teng by making him eat instant noodles with broken noodles for 10 days!" I said viciously, using threats and inducements.
He held his chin in thought for a moment, then suddenly grinned, revealing his cute little fangs, pointed at me with a smirk and said, "You said that?"
I was most afraid of seeing his sinister smile, so I patted my chest and said bravely, "Of course I said it!"
The next day, Sora really didn't go on a date with Fei Xuanzi, and I felt much better. Seeing Fei Xuanzi tempting Sora in every possible way, but he remained unmoved, my self-confidence, self-esteem, pride and all other feelings were instantly satisfied.
After Fei Xuanzi left angrily, there were only two of us left in the classroom.
I walked over to Sora with my textbook in my arms and said happily, "Since you've been so obedient and haven't run around, I'll keep my promise and help you with your homework. But remember, I'll only teach you once. If you still can't do it, I won't teach you again, and don't even think about buying you your honey-baked apples."
Sola looked at me with great hurt and said, "Fei Xuanzi was very patient when she taught me. She is not as fierce as you."
"If you don't want to learn, forget it. I'm leaving now." I put away my book and started to leave. Anyway, I just don't like seeing him dating Fei Xuanzi. As long as I achieve this goal, nothing else matters.
Sora looked at me like an abandoned child, extremely aggrieved. I felt so sorry for him, a foodie, and I was in a good mood, so I was about to teach him a lesson. But before I even got to him, he pointed at me with a look of grief and anger: "You are such a vicious person."
Serpentine? Is that how he described me? I was immediately furious and said to him, "Don't talk about others. People like you who are shameless and date other girls just for a little food are not much better!"
"So you've always been annoyed that I'm dating other girls. But if I'm not dating other girls, why would I date you?" Sora was irritated. He stood up and growled at me. I was so irritated by his question that I was speechless.
He was taller than me, so once he got angry and stood up, I had to look up at him to be able to argue with him smoothly. In order to reduce the disparity between us and strengthen my momentum to put pressure on him, I strode up to him, glared at him, and loudly retorted: "I just can't stand you being with other girls, and you live in my house, I can't just watch you embarrass yourself and do nothing about it!"
He was so angry at me that his face almost turned green. When he saw me approaching him, he suddenly stretched out his hands and covered my cheeks. The force was not strong, but it rubbed my face all over the place!
I have never been bullied like this by a boy. I reached out to pry his hands apart. I tried to protest but no words came out clearly and all my words disappeared in whimpers.
Seeing that I couldn't say anything, he suddenly grinned and said in a mean way, "Say it again?"
I was about to use my special trick to deal with the hooligans on him, but suddenly I heard a sharp curse in my ear: "Qian Moli, it turns out that you are the one who is interfering!"
Sora was startled and quickly stopped rubbing my face. I took the opportunity to escape from his clutches and turned around to look in the direction of the sound. I saw Fei Xuanzi standing at the door of the classroom angrily, with his legs spread apart and his fists clenched. His face was flushed with anger and he might pounce on me at any time.
I instantly understood that Fei Xuanzi was angry that I stopped her from dating Sora, and I immediately smiled and looked at her: "I don't understand what you just said."
"I knew you were a pretender. But after meeting you in person, I found you to be even more fake!" She looked at me with contempt, and every word she said was like a bullet shooting at me.
I felt so insulted by her that I could no longer keep a friendly face. I angrily said, "You and Sora are not dating at all. He is with you just to eat something delicious. Do you think he really likes you?"
Fei Xuanzi shuddered at what I said. I saw a trace of sadness in her eyes, not shock. She obviously knew Sora's intention to be with her, but she just didn't want to admit it. Now that I told her, she still couldn't accept it.
"What about you? What's the meaning of stopping him? I like him. If we spend more time together, we will naturally like each other. But if you don't like him, why do you stop us? I think you are just jealous!" Fei Xuanzi pointed at my nose and yelled in an uncivilized manner.
I was speechless because of her anger, but I was definitely not jealous! Just as I was about to refute, a frivolous and sarcastic voice sounded in my ears.
"Since you all care about Sora so much, why don't you have a competition?" A tall and beautiful figure suddenly appeared at the door of the classroom, with long wavy hair cascading down on her slender shoulders, a pair of charming and attractive almond-shaped eyes with a bit of ruthlessness, sparkling red lips, a straight nose, and slender white legs that looked extremely seductive in black boots. She was wearing a red mini skirt from a famous brand, which made her look different and extraordinary.
I had no impression of this girl with extraordinary appearance. Judging from her clothes and appearance, she should be from a noble family. But I had never seen her when I attended aristocratic banquets, and for a moment I couldn't remember who she was.
Seeing that I was silent, she immediately walked towards me with elegant steps and said contemptuously: "Qian Moli, have you forgotten the banquet held in Moli Castle three years ago? Who took advantage of being the host of the banquet to snatch someone else's dance partner, and finally made everyone unhappy?"
Her tone was sharp, which made me a little confused for a moment. I did dance a lot at the banquet three years ago, but they were all invited by the boys. If I refused, wouldn’t it seem too arrogant? My brain suddenly shuddered, and I remembered Beitang Ying at that banquet. I remember when he invited me, a girl was bowing to him, and then the girl suddenly fell to the ground accidentally, but I was pulled by Beitang Ying to dance, and I didn’t pay attention to her. Could she be the girl who fell at that time?
"You look like you've remembered it." She stared at me angrily and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that three years later, you're competing with Fei Xuanzi for your boyfriend again!"
Her words made me very angry, and I hit back: "If I remember correctly, you poured it on him on purpose, but you didn't expect him to walk away, which made you so embarrassed. It's ridiculous that you blame me for this now!" I'm not sure about the scene at that time, I just made it up, but when the girl in front of me heard what I said, her face immediately turned red, and she turned to look at Fei Xuanzi very unnaturally, and instigated: "Fei Xuanzi , are you willing to compete with her? The school's tennis court is open, so let's play tennis. If you win, Qian Moli will never be able to get close to Sora again. Otherwise, you will leave Sora forever. It's fair and reasonable."
I saw her giving orders to Fei Xuanzi, and suddenly thought of Yu Hanmi, whom Fei Xuanzi had mentioned many times. The person in front of me should be her, so I immediately refused: "It's not your turn to give advice on our affairs."
Unexpectedly, Fei Xuanzi was enraged. She stared at me with disgust and asked provocatively, "Don't you dare to compete?"
I'm not afraid of the competition, and winning or losing is beneficial to me. If I lose, Sora can get out of here, and I won't be upset. But I just think this competition is meaningless. How can you win love through competition?
"Fei Xuanzi, how are your tennis skills?" Sora, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked Fei Xuanzi with concern.
Fei Xuanzi was instantly encouraged, and she quickly said confidently: "I was once the champion of our school's tennis tournament."
"Really? That's great!" Sora clapped excitedly.
My heart suddenly sank. He was so happy to know that Fei Xuanzi was good at playing basketball. Did he really hate me so much? I felt even sadder when I saw how happy he was. I had never thought that I would be disliked by boys like this. I was such a failure!
But since he wanted me to stay away from him, I would not let him fulfill his wish. So I stood up immediately and said disdainfully: "So what if you are the champion? I will compete with you! But before the competition, I advise you not to look at others with tinted glasses. It is very likely that you have been used by others and are still helping them count money!" I took the opportunity to glance at Yu Hanmi who was very proud. Fei Xuanzi has a very straightforward temper, but Yu Hanmi is very thoughtful. It was she who instigated Fei Xuanzi to compete with me, but she just watched the joke from the side. She can't wait to take revenge through Fei Xuanzi!
Sora was very excited. He seemed to feel proud that the two girls were competing for him. He excitedly asked, "When are you going to compete? Now?"
"It's better to end it now to avoid any more trouble!" Yu Hanmi fanned the flames.
Fei Xuanzi agreed immediately, and I had nothing to say, so I followed them towards the tennis court.
The setting sun in the evening scorched the sky red. Fei Xuanzi and I changed our clothes and walked onto the court. She served first in the first game.
I gripped the racket tightly and leaned forward to prepare for the attack. Just by looking at her movements, I knew that she had received professional training and would be definitely not easy to deal with.
At this moment, she hit the ball in a straight line at a very fast speed. Fei Xuanzi knew that I had just come on the court and needed to adapt to everything. The rapid serve would catch me off guard. If I had too little power, I would not be able to hit it. If I had too much power, the ball would fly out of bounds.
Seeing the ball flying towards me fiercely, I held the racket tightly, exerted my arm strength, and hit the ball back with moderate force. I just tried the feel of the ball and did not dare to attack rashly, so the ball I hit back was not strong. Fei Xuanzi took the opportunity to catch the ball and hit it back with a spinning ball.
I stood in the middle of the court, watching the ball bounce up and down, my body suddenly tilted sideways, I fell to the ground, my elbow hurt, and I finally sent the ball over. Fei Xuanzi hit me hard, and I was no longer able to catch it, so I had to lose the first ball.
I got up from the ground with great pain and subconsciously glanced at Sora outside the court. He looked at me in surprise. Suddenly, I noticed that not far away, Ke Teng was standing in a corner outside the court, silently watching everything that happened. Didn't Ke Teng go home? Why did he come to school again?
Before I could figure it out, Fei Xuanzi's serve came quickly towards me. The angle of the ball was very strange. I was a little confused. I had to concentrate and calm down, leaning forward to receive the ball, and finally sent the ball back. Fei Xuanzi didn't expect that I could receive her ball. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she hit back faster. I saw that she was wavering and took the risk of hitting the ball hard. The ball just hit the sideline of the opponent's net. If it was a little more off, it would have gone out of bounds. Although Fei Xuanzi reacted quickly and slid to receive the ball, she was powerless.
When I saw her lose the ball, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but I was afraid that she would come back with more force, so I quickly stood on tiptoe and continued to prepare for the fight.
Fei Xuanzi's expression became more serious, and his serve became more tricky. I only heard a whistling sound, and a ball was approaching my face. I quickly stepped back and tried to hit the ball as soon as it hit the ground and bounced up, but my ankle made a "click" sound, and the pain made my feet go soft, and I fell straight down. I immediately supported myself with my other leg. I have been troubled by many things recently, and I rarely exercise, so my body flexibility and coordination are not enough.
Fortunately, the ball successfully passed the net and did not go out of the line. I was ecstatic, but I was no longer able to catch the ball that Fei Xuanzi hit back, and I watched helplessly lose another ball.
Sweat kept streaming down my forehead. Fei Xuanzi had already won two goals, and I dared not take it lightly anymore.
Fei Xuanzi's ball hit me again! My ankle hurt so much that I took a few steps with great difficulty. After I hit the ball, I wanted to sit on the ground.
"Qian Moli is actually playing with Fei Xuanzi. She is so good. Fei Xuanzi once won the tennis championship. How can Qian Moli be so bold?" A large circle of classmates suddenly gathered outside the tennis court. It was a black mass, and they were chattering outside the wire fence.
"It's very exciting! We don't know who will win or lose yet!"
"You see, Qian Moli's ball is not stable at all. I think Fei Xuanzi is more powerful!"
"Please, Fei Xuanzi is a transfer student, and Qian Moli is from our school. How support others?"
"Yu Hanmi sent us a text message to come watch the game. She and Fei Xuanzi are good friends. Maybe she was bullying Qian Moli on purpose."
"Whoever wins is awesome. Yu Hanmi is pretty good too, she's very generous to everyone. Last time she even gave each of us a bracelet!"
It’s Yu Hanmi again!
She deliberately called everyone here just to let Fei Xuanzi defeat me and embarrass me in front of everyone.
I heard everyone's discussion, and my mood became more urgent and heavy. I wanted to stop the game in moderation, but it seemed that I had to have a real fight. Although my ankle was about to break in pain, I still endured it and focused on Fei Xuanzi on the opposite side. This game was not only about Sora, but also about my reputation in school. Of course, I couldn't let her succeed!
