chapter eight 5
“BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—”
"Mesa Mesa I love you!"
“Hua——Hua——Hua——”
"Mesa Mesa look here!"
“Hoo—hoo—hoo—”
"Missa Missa..."
I blocked my ears with my fingers in disgust, wishing I could grow wings and escape from the "Stars of Tomorrow - Beautiful Cartoonist Readers' Meeting" at the speed of light!
Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, I have been in Jono Academy for almost half a year... So many things happened in the past six months. Ryogo and I pretended to be a couple and pissed off Ayano Yuu. The Jono Academy New Year's campus festival also officially kicked off in the beautiful and solemn Mercury Hall.
I raised my head while thinking——
"Thank you everyone! Your love is my motivation!" Ming Meixiang was holding a large bouquet of flowers, standing on the gorgeous crystal stage, and enthusiastically blew kisses to the fans in the audience, which attracted a lot of screams.
"Ahhh! She's so beautiful!"
"How can such a young beauty draw such an interesting story?"
…
It was the first time for me to see Ming Meixiang from such a distance. She was wearing a refreshing mini skirt, her curly hair was draped over her shoulders, and her cute little face was tinged with a light pink. Such a beautiful girl, even if you said she was 20 years old, people would believe it!
However, an ugly duckling like me will probably never become like her, right?
As I was thinking sadly, my peripheral vision accidentally caught a glimpse of a few familiar figures.
Huh? What happened to Senior Dongyun? Why is he trembling all over and staring at my mom with shining eyes?
Wait... the man next to him with his mouth wide open and his glasses squeezed off must be Mr. Dongyun? Why did he suddenly become like this? His previous wisdom and elegance are gone, and he is full of stupidity!
Oh my god, I never knew that my teacher and seniors are actually my mom’s fans!
"This world is so strange..." I curled my lips and looked away.
Suddenly, a handsome figure came into my sight and stung my eyes.
Ayano Yu was standing in the crowd with his arm around a super beautiful girl. He had no usual impatient look on his face and was carefully protecting her, looking as handsome and dazzling as a god. The girl next to him was the angel girl who had appeared in the hospital before. She had a petite figure, an abnormally pale face, and a pair of bright black eyes with a lively look. She was standing next to Ayano Yu like a lovely lark.
What a perfect match!
A feeling of sadness and grief that I had never felt before came over me, and I wished I could disappear from this world immediately.
I couldn't bear it anymore. I stared at their intimacy blankly. My heart seemed to be grabbed by a huge invisible hand and tears were about to overflow from my eyes.
Suddenly, Ayano Yu seemed to sense something and slowly turned around...
No, I don't want him to see me in such a state!
I lowered my head, turned around and ran out.
Time passed by minute by minute, and I wandered around the college alone, avoiding everyone who walked towards me. I didn't know how long I had been wandering around in a daze, until the sun gradually set below the sea level, and I finally walked to the booth of the campus festival.
This is one of the most exciting activities at Jono College. Those young masters and young ladies have probably never tried to set up stalls to sell things, and they are all very enthusiastic. However, the most popular ones are the "Prince Cafe" for the second graders and the haunted house carefully prepared by the freshmen.
"Classmate, look at this fox mask!" I was walking on the road with a blank mind, and suddenly I was grabbed by a girl.
"Isn't it very delicate and beautiful? This is a gift from our haunted house!" She took my hand enthusiastically, "Just go in and play around, and you can get this beautiful mask!"
"I'm sorry, I don't..." I really didn't feel like doing anything right now. I was about to wave my hand to refuse when suddenly a familiar voice sounded behind me, with a hint of doting.
"Yili, are you tired? Do you want to go to the haunted house?"
Ayano Yu!
"Give me one!" I snatched the mask from the girl's hand and put it on my face.
I turned around secretly with a guilty conscience and found that it was indeed Ayano Yu. He was gently holding his angelic girlfriend and wandering at the door of the haunted house.
It turns out that the angel girl is called Yili, even her name can kill me instantly...
The girl wrinkled her cute little nose and said, "I'm not tired, but I don't dare to go to the haunted house!"
"Then we won't go!"
Humph! Coward!
I pouted under the mask, strode past the blinding couple, and bravely broke into the haunted house.
I, Ming Cha Cha, have never been afraid of ghosts since I was a child! When I was a child, when Ming Meixiang was trembling with fear because of horror movies, I could sleep soundly by myself. She even laughed at me for not being a girl and called me a "steel girl"!
Sigh... I wish I could really become an indestructible girl of steel.
I was wandering around the haunted house out of boredom. After deftly dodging a few "ghosts" covered in white sheets, I finally walked to an empty corner.
This used to be the college's warehouse, which was borrowed by the freshmen and converted into a haunted house, so there were still some boxes of sundries piled up here. I sat down leaning against a large box.
I don’t want to go out, I don’t want to see Ayano Yu and his little girlfriend, and I don’t want to face the worried eyes of Ryogo and Akemi.
Although it is dark here, I feel inexplicably safe because no one knows me and no one will disturb me.
What is Ayano Yu doing now? He is probably touring Jono Academy with his girlfriend. He is so nice to Yili...
As I thought about it, I realized that I might have been sleeping too little recently. Gradually, I felt my eyelids becoming heavier and I began to feel sleepy.
I slowly closed my eyes, hoping that this time, Ayano Yu would not come to disturb me in my dream...
