Chapter 9: Next time you lose to me, don't cry 1
"Qin Xiaoya is coming down!"
The people under the altar saw me and started to make a commotion, and they all gathered around me.
"Qin Xiaoya! What wish did you make?"
"Qin Xiaoya, why are you crying?"
"Hahaha—she must be crying for joy!"
A group of people talking at the same time made me feel even more upset.
I didn't say a word, pushed through the crowd, and rushed out. The people behind me were noisy.
I didn't know where I was going, I just kept running without a destination.
Just escape from this noisy place...
When I came to my senses, I had already run to the beach.
There was no one on the golden beach.
The rising tide gently lapped the beach, and the traces left were quickly covered by the next wave of tide.
There is a large group of banana trees planted on the shore, swaying in the wind and singing a sad song.
The huge reefs are white and smooth after years of wind and sun.
I walked over and sat down on a rock.
A few hermit crabs, carrying their heavy colorful shells, slowly crawled past my feet.
Something warm liquid slid down my face, falling drop by drop onto the beach, and quickly melted into the sand and disappeared, as if it had been evaporated, leaving no trace, so that people might mistakenly think it was an illusion.
A hermit crab accidentally fell down and lay sideways. It struggled for a long time but couldn't get up.
All the other companions had left, leaving it alone, struggling all alone at my feet.
It was just like me before, struggling to leave Yadonis Island, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't escape Hang Weicheng's control.
From the first day I arrived at Yadonis Island, I fell into his hands and was played around and ridiculed by him.
Why could all my efforts be negated by just one sentence from him?
I thought I would be able to go home soon, but the next second all my dreams were shattered.
He smiled, gave a gentle squeeze, and shattered all my dreams!
“Wuwuwu… Wuwuwu… Wuwuwu…” I hugged my knees and burst into tears.
Like a lost child, so confused, so scared, so fragile.
Dad...Mom...I miss you so much. I want to go home so much!
There are too many things in Ouran City that I am concerned about, my father, my mother, and the little prince... When can I leave Yadonis Island?
I hate everything here. I hate Hangweicheng and I hate Yadonis Island. I hate it so much. I hate it so much!
The more I thought about it, the sadder I felt. Tears kept falling like beads from a broken string.
The sky was so high and so quiet. My mournful cries echoed on the empty beach, blending with the sound of the tide and being carried to an unknown shore.
At this moment, a pair of feet wearing white sneakers stopped in front of me.
The pair of white sneakers looked so clean, just like the white clouds in the sky, spotless, giving the owner who wore them an extraordinary temperament.
In the moment I was stunned, another blue plaid handkerchief was placed in front of me.
A slender white hand gently pinched it, like a pure white magnolia.
I looked up in surprise and saw Yi Youxi standing in front of me.
There was a hint of melancholy on her lotus-like face, which lingered like morning mist.
The sky is so blue and clear, but it is not as blue as Yi Youxi’s blue-purple eyes.
He looked at me with a little sympathy and didn't say a word for a long time. He obviously wanted to comfort me, but he just stood quietly in front of me. It was very much like his style.
"I'm fine, there's just some sand in my eyes." I took the handkerchief and hurriedly wiped the tears from my face, then raised my head after a while.
"I know." Yi Youxi smiled faintly and sat down on the reef next to me.
The golden curly hair was a little messy in the breeze, and a few strands of bangs fell on the thin eyebrows, with a hint of mischief.
He always looked like he knew everything, as if nothing could escape his eyes. Before I made a wish, he told me it was not certain!
"Have you known for a long time that Hang Weicheng is the king?" I glared at him resentfully.
"You are the only one in the entire Yadunis Island, and you don't know that Hang Weicheng is the king." He said lightly, without a trace of guilt on his plain face.
"Then why didn't you tell me earlier!" I jumped up from the reef, staring at him with my bright eyes.
I always treated him as a friend, but I didn't expect he would play tricks on me!
The hermit crab at my feet was frightened by me. It struggled and turned over, then ran away in panic, carrying its heavy shell.
Yi Youxi glanced at me, sighed and said, "I didn't tell you because I didn't want your hopes to be dashed."
"Then my hopes have also been dashed. Do you also want to see my face falling from heaven to hell?" I was like a mad lion, roaring at him desperately. Does everyone want to laugh at me?
Hang Weicheng is the same, he is the same, and everyone on the island is the same!
"What did you wish for?" He sat on the rock and glanced at me calmly, ignoring my anger.
"Huh?" I looked at him in confusion. This guy changed the subject so quickly!
"What did you wish for?" He repeated expressionlessly. His blue-purple pupils shone with a determined light, more dazzling than diamonds.
"I... want a diploma from Yadunisi Island." I twisted my fingers and said a little awkwardly.
"I will grant your wish. As long as you continue to pretend to be my girlfriend, I will give you a diploma from Yadunis Island when the engagement is cancelled." Yi Youxi stood up, his tall body slender and straight. He looked at me and promised.
Those blue-purple eyes were clearer and more transparent than the sky.
"Really?" I looked at him in disbelief.
The feeling of hope being rekindled made me feel like I was in a dream.
"I keep my word!" he said without hesitation.
A gust of wind blew , and his golden hair danced in the wind, flowing with colorful luster like glass.
He seemed to be shrouded in a hazy halo, so unreal that he seemed to disappear in the next moment.
But his words were like a sharp arrow that pierced my heart clearly.
Even if he doesn't agree to my request, as long as I am still in Yadunisi Island, I will continue to pretend to be his girlfriend. But why did he promise me a diploma?
Also, why did he come here? Did he come here specifically to comfort me?
"Did you come here just to comfort me?" I looked at him in confusion, with many questions in my mind. Is Yi Youxi worried about me? Does he care about me?
"I'm sorry, maybe you're right, I should have told you earlier that Hang Weicheng is the 'king' of Yadunis Island." Yi Youxi looked at the vast sea and said quietly. A layer of melancholy covered her beautiful face.
He actually felt guilty about such a small thing! I looked at him in amazement. I don't know why, but my mood, which was gloomy just now, suddenly became brighter, like the sun after the rain.
On Yadonis Island, besides my grandmother, he is the only one who cares about me. Maybe this island... isn't that bad after all! At least there are two people who care about me!
"Great - I can go home!" I took off my shoes and rushed into the sea, letting the sea water soak my skirt. The crystal clear sea water splashed up, reflecting the dazzling luster under the sun. I was soaked in the sea water, and my mood suddenly became so refreshing! I haven't felt so refreshed in a long time!
"What are you doing?" Yi Youxi stood on the shore, looking at me with a frown, an expression that said "I can't stand you".
"Come here! It's so comfortable!" I kicked the water in the shallows, just like a child, playing recklessly.
"I don't want to. It's so childish." Yi Youxi pursed his lips and said seriously.
"Please don't act like a serious adult!" I scooped up a bucket of water and poured it on him.
He was caught off guard by my splashing, and was soaked with water. A few strands of bangs stuck to his smooth white forehead, dripping water continuously. He pursed his lips in displeasure, and the crystal clear sea water flowed down his deep features. But he still sat on the reef, motionless.
What a weird person! I scooped up another bucket of water and poured it on him mercilessly. He blocked it with his hand, and the sea water soaked his sleeves, and the white shirt became translucent and stuck to his skin. I was unwilling to give up and continued to pour water on him.
"Stop it, or I'll be angry!" He covered his face with his hands and warned in pretend anger.
"Okay! If you're angry, just hit me back!" I threw more and more vigorously, not taking his warning seriously at all.
Soon, he was soaked by me. His golden curly hair stuck to his face like seaweed, and his translucent shirt stuck to his skin, outlining his perfect figure. His blue-purple eyes were clearer than the sea in the sun, sparkling with a dazzling luster.
"Qin Xiaoya, you're dead!" He finally couldn't bear it anymore, roared, and rushed forward.
"Come on! Come on!" I fearlessly fanned the flames and made faces at him.
He bent down and splashed water at me. The transparent sea water splashed into the air, soaking my face and clothes. But I was very happy!
"Who's afraid of who!" I fought back, splashed water on him, turned around and ran away.
"Don't run!" He chased after her, his golden hair wet with water, swaying with transparent water droplets. His face, as pure as a lotus, was almost translucent in the sun. His white shirt melted into the sun, and his whole body seemed to be shining. At this moment, Yi Youxi was like a white angel, so transparent, so pure.
"Anyone who doesn't run is a fool!" I turned around, stuck out my tongue at him, then turned and ran.
"If I catch you, you're dead!"
"You can't catch it!"
…
This afternoon, we forgot all our worries and played and chased each other in the sea. It seemed that we were back to our carefree childhood.
I also saw the real Yi Youxi that day. He is actually a very gentle person. His status as a prince restricts him from having too many emotions, but under his cold appearance, he has a gentle heart.
