Chapter Five 2
Ruiqing didn't look at me, but looked into the distance with his schoolbag on his back, and said, "Someone just said he wants to treat me to a meal. Can I choose the French lobster made by Chef Andre from the most expensive and luxurious five-star restaurant in the city..."
I kicked him before he could finish his words, and he had to swallow the rest of his words. I glared at Ruiqing who was crying out in pain in front of me, and looked down at him: "One dollar a string of spicy hot pot, no waiting after it expires, come if you want." After saying that, I ran to school.
"What a profiteer!" Ruiqing's painful and helpless voice came from behind.
The morning breeze blew on my face, making me feel happy. This morning was so beautiful. Not only did it solve the conflict between Ruiqing and I, but it also let me know that Tsurugahara actually cared about me. Does this mean that I still have some weight in Tsurugahara's heart?
I was in an excited state the whole day. I even ignored Xiaoyi when she talked to me. Ruiqing just rolled his eyes at me, but I ignored them completely because I was going to buy my Gundam model today!
"Look how happy you are, you're such a loser!" Xiaoyi next to me said to me with contempt.
"Hmph! So what if I'm a loser? I'm happy to be a loser for the person I love!" I completely ignored Xiaoyi's contempt and continued to laugh foolishly.
"Don't say I'm pouring cold water on you. What about the misunderstanding you had with him yesterday? He wouldn't think you are that kind of girl, right? Such a misunderstanding would be very embarrassing." Xiaoyi said.
"No." Hearing Xiaoyi say this, I stopped giggling and turned around to look at her seriously, "Tsurugahara is not such an unreasonable person. As long as I explain it to him clearly, he will definitely believe me."
I don't know why, but I'm sure Tsurugahara will believe me. Although I don't know the reason, I have to trust a woman's intuition. Xiaoyi said that a woman's intuition is very accurate.
"Okay." Although she had no confidence in me, Xiaoyi still patted my shoulder to encourage me, "I believe you can succeed. Come on, Yaya, don't embarrass me as a love master."
My originally touched mood was completely wiped out by Xiao Yi's last words, leaving only my fingers still kneading her fleshy shoulders: "Stinky girl, you'll die if you say something nice!"
When I held the hard-earned Gundam model in my arms, I clearly felt my heartbeat, as if I was holding not a Gundam model, but my entire dream. I secretly made up my mind that I would explain to him at his birthday party that I was not that kind of girl, and I did all this just because I liked him.
I want to confess!
Don’t be nervous next time we meet, Ge Ruya, come on!
Time flies , and it's Saturday in a blink of an eye. I have been struggling these days, hoping that time will pass faster so that I can meet Tsurugahara earlier and celebrate his birthday with him. But as the days go by, I also hope that time can go slower because I am afraid of being rejected. I am afraid that after I confess my feelings, Tsurugahara and I will not even be friends.
But no matter how I thought, time still came to this day at its own pace. I got up early that day, opened the window and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers outside. I felt very happy. Looking at the clear sky outside, I thought it must be a good sign, indicating that my confession today would be successful.
I didn't buy those beautiful dresses. First, I couldn't afford them. Second, I felt that I was just a simple girl who could cry, laugh, lose temper, and give for the person I loved. If I dressed up like a princess and told Tsurugahara that I loved him, then even if he accepted it, he would only accept my appearance instead of the real me. I am Ge Ruya, an ordinary girl who lives seriously and loves him, not a princess in a gorgeous dance dress. I am not now and I will never be. I am just me.
Thinking of this, I took out a white pleated skirt that I often wear from the closet. It has a small lace edge and looks fresh and simple. I carefully arranged every wrinkle on the hem of the skirt, just like sorting out my troubled thoughts. It turns out that liking someone is really like Xiaoyi said, a very bitter but happy thing. My heart is full of that person, nothing else .
I combed my hair into a cute bun and put on the Swarovski crystal necklace that my mother gave me on my birthday last year. Then I looked at myself in the mirror again and again.
I gently touched my slightly red face. Haha, am I a pretty girl? In fact, the most beautiful thing is never the appearance, but the age. I am really happy to meet someone I really like in the most beautiful years.
Do I look good? I asked myself softly in front of the mirror.
I blushed after being asked this question. I am not very confident about my appearance, and no one has ever complimented me on my appearance over the years. The most common thing I heard was "Ruya, you look like your mother", which is the biggest compliment to me. Because it is said that my mother used to be a very beautiful woman, and of course, she is still beautiful now. My mother will always be the most beautiful woman in my heart.
After everything was packed, I smiled at the mirror, took the beautiful invitation, and embarked on my journey to confess my love.
I just felt that I was so happy today that I seemed to glow. I looked up at the sky, blue sky and white clouds, two pure colors hanging in the sky, like a sapphire symbolizing love, and also symbolizing my current mood. If the earth had no gravity, I might really fly up, holding the box containing the Gundam model and flying to him. Thinking of this, I became excited.
Ge Ruya, rush towards your love!
The location of the hotel was not difficult to find, because it was a very famous hotel in the city. I only told the taxi driver the name and he took me to the destination. After getting off the car, I breathed a sigh of relief. I thought the gold-stamped invitation card in my hand looked too gorgeous and luxurious, but when I entered the hotel lobby, I realized that such gorgeousness was nothing. The lobby on the first floor of the hotel was decorated like a palace. Compared with my plain clothes, even the hotel waiters were dressed more noble and decent than me.
Am I wearing the wrong clothes?
I walked forward tremblingly, and the people passing by were all formally dressed men and women, some even wearing luxurious evening gowns and expensive suits, which made me, who had never attended such an occasion, even more uncomfortable. My steps became heavier and heavier, and I began to want to leave here, what should I do?
"Miss, you've come to the wrong place." A waiter in British uniform stopped me and said politely.
"Ah?" I was stunned.
"This is the VIP seat, the ordinary seats are downstairs." The waiter explained.
"I'm going to the VIP seat. Here's the invitation." Am I really that shabby? Just as I was about to take out the invitation to argue with the waiter, I was suddenly dumbfounded.
When I got off the taxi just now, I was so busy picking up the Gundam model that the invitation fell on the taxi.
"I, I actually... I do have an invitation. I, I..."
Although the waiter maintained a well-trained smile on his face, he could not hide the contempt in his eyes.
What should I do? What should I do?
I stood there awkwardly, not knowing how to explain to him that I really came here with an invitation. The sweat on my forehead slid down my cheeks, and even my hands holding the Gundam model were shaking.
"Miss, please come downstairs," the waiter repeated.
"I really, really do..."
"Miss, we have a rule. If you don't have an invitation, please go downstairs. The upstairs is the VIP seat and you can't just enter casually."
Men and women in formal attire passed me by with obvious disdain in their eyes.
"How shabby."
"You dare to come here dressed like this? Humph! You really overestimate your own abilities."
"It's no use standing at the door of the VIP seats. She can't enter this door with her status."
All my words got stuck in my throat, I couldn't make any sound, my eyes started to feel sore, and my hands holding the Gundam model started to tremble because of nervousness. At this moment, a heavenly voice sounded -
"Ruya."
The book says that if someone always shows up when you are in trouble, then that person is your prince.
I turned around and saw my prince. He was wearing a formal white suit today. The suit was well-tailored, making his slender figure look more upright and heroic. This was the first time I saw him dressed so formally. If he usually had the temperament of a prince, then at this moment, Tsurugahara was a real prince, and he didn't look out of place in the golden palace.
"You're here." He said with a smile, and that smile was like the sunshine in March, so beautiful that it seemed unreal.
"I, I left the invitation in the taxi." My voice became lower and lower, until it was so low that even I couldn't hear what I was saying.
"It's okay, it's good that people are here. Why don't you look up? Are you angry with me?" He stood in front of me, and at this time his head was almost lowered to his chest, and I could only see his white leather shoes and the trouser legs above the shoes. His voice was still so gentle and pleasant.
"Ah?" Angry with him? I was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him.
"Last time at KTV..." He seemed a little embarrassed, with a faint blush on his fair face, but his eyes were still gentle, "I left before I had the chance to say goodbye to you. I was afraid you would be angry. Moreover, I ran into your classmates the next day and they said that you..."
"Nothing!" I suddenly said loudly. Everyone around me turned around and looked at me, but I couldn't care less.
It’s all the fault of that bastard Ruiqing. He said nothing but I was so sad that I wanted to jump off the building. Am I, Ge Ruya, that fragile?
I looked into Tsurugahara's eyes and said seriously, "I'm not angry. Although I did mind a little at that time, I'm not mad at you!"
"Oh." Tsurugahara's expression was obviously dull for a moment, but he soon returned to his previous smile. He looked at me with some relief, "You are not nervous anymore, that's great."
What?
I looked at him, not reacting for a moment, and when I realized what he meant, my face suddenly turned red. I shook my head and wanted to deny it, but suddenly I saw the Gundam model in my hand.
"This..." I looked at the Gundam model in my hand and was about to give it to him, but someone suddenly called him in the hall: "Hey, He Yuan, come here quickly! The party is about to start, and our main character is waiting for you."
"Yeah, got it." The boy next to me responded softly, then looked down at me and gently ruffled my hair. "It's a cute hairstyle. Let's go in too. Follow me and don't be nervous."
I followed him quietly. I don't know why, but his words seemed to calm me down. I was not nervous anymore. In this magnificent hall, among so many girls wearing heavy makeup, I felt at ease. My uneasy heart was completely calmed down.
With him around, I'm not afraid of anything.
"Can you just sit next to me?" I don't know how long we walked before he stopped, gracefully pulled out a chair and smiled at me. Only then did I realize that we had already entered the private room.
"Oh." I responded stupidly and then sat down on the chair.
I seemed to know no one sitting around me except Tsurugahara. I sat there quietly, not daring to speak or look up.
I lowered my head and looked at the Gundam model in my hand that I had not given away. It doesn’t matter, I said to myself, I can give it to him later. The birthday party is still a long time away anyway.
"Oh, who was it? It turns out to be her." A sharp voice suddenly came into my ears. I raised my head suddenly and met Xin Xin's vicious eyes.
Xin Xin was dressed particularly formally today. Her beautiful white silk evening dress was obviously very expensive. Her hair was combed into a well-behaved princess bun. If she hadn't said such harsh words, she would really look like a princess who walked out of an oil painting.
Why is she here too? I suddenly felt uneasy, and the scene of that day reappeared in front of me. I secretly looked at Tsurugahara beside me. He didn't say anything or look at Xin Xin, but just said lightly: "Start serving the dishes."
The dishes came up very quickly, and each one was very delicate, making people drool just by looking at it. Of course, I didn't dare to drool so blatantly when sitting next to Tsurugahara, I just swallowed my saliva secretly in a place where no one could notice.
What should I do? I didn’t dare to get up and grab the delicious-looking lobster, nor did I dare to tell Tsurugahara that I liked that dish, fearing that he would think I was a brainless foodie.
I sat there struggling, wooooooo… I want to eat a big lobster.
