Chapter Seven 2
Tsurugahara suddenly sighed, and gently rubbed my head with his warm palm, saying, "But I feel that you are still unhappy, Ruya, let's..." He paused, took my hand and said solemnly, " Let's date."
Under the streetlight, the boy's expression looked so solemn and serious. Although his handsome features were affected by the injury, it did not affect his noble temperament. The perfect honey in my dreams, my fairytale prince, Tsurugahara, who I have been paying attention to silently, is now looking at me with his beautiful eyes.
Is it because the night is too beautiful? Or is it because the moonlight is too bright? In such a beautiful scene, there is a scene where Tsurugahara confesses his love to me. It must be my illusion. I must be dreaming.
My mind went blank. The only thing I could remember was Tsurugahara's handsome appearance, his gentle look when he tied my shoelaces, his majestic look when he chased away the pervert for me, his domineering look when he asked me to watch his game on the basketball court, and his serious and dedicated look when he sang on the street. He was such a perfect person. There was nothing wrong with his appearance, figure, and IQ. And such a perfect boy actually confessed to me and asked me to date him. Was he really talking to me? Was everything happening to me now real? Or was I hallucinating again?
I don't remember whether I nodded or shook my head. I just remember that I stood there like a fool for a long time without saying anything.
I don't know how long it took, but when I came to my senses, I found myself leaving the place and walking on the way home. I thought I must be dreaming, otherwise how could I hear Tsurugahara say that he wanted to date me? I looked up at the moon in the sky. Moon, can you tell me, was that real?
The wind tonight is refreshing, with a hint of coolness, and there is a light mist in the air. Those tiny water drops hit my clothes and are as crystal clear as crystal. I walk alone in such a night, because I am completely immersed in my own world, thinking about that person in my heart, the way he smiled faintly, the way he laughed at my silliness, the way he said seriously "Let's go out", these scenes all appeared in my mind like movie clips.
I suddenly felt like crying. Why was I so stupid at that time? Why didn't I immediately say "Okay, okay, let's go out together"? How could I miss such a good opportunity? This was Tsurugahara's confession. If I missed it, I didn't know if there would be a second chance.
The more I thought about it, the more annoyed I became. So I slapped my face, wishing I could slap away my confusion and stupidity. Oh! Why am I so useless?
"Hey, Ge Ruya, who are you angry with? Why are you acting like a fool?" A voice suddenly came into my ears.
"You are the fool!" I cursed back reflexively.
When I looked up and saw who was coming, I was stunned. It turned out that I had arrived at the door of my house without realizing it. At this time, Ruiqing was holding the security door downstairs with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other hand, looking at me with a smile. In the light mist, his figure seemed much softer, and a layer of water droplets condensed on his short black hair showed that he had been waiting here for a while.
"Are you in a bad mood? Come on, tell me what's wrong. I'm your close brother." Ruiqing said with a smile.
"I have nothing to say to you." After saying that, I walked around him and was about to open the door to go in, but he stopped me with his hand.
"Ge Ruya."
I raised my head and glared at him. He looked very calm under the moonlight, without any of his usual cynical look. He paused and said, "I'm here to apologize to you, Ruya. I'm sorry."
I was furious when I thought about how he treated Tsurugahara, but now seeing him like this, I couldn't get angry at all. I could only sigh and ask, "Why did you hit him?"
"I..." He looked at me with a complicated expression, his chest rising and falling slightly, as if he was suppressing some emotions, "Because he hurt you."
Hurt me? So that's why. I took a deep breath, tried to keep my tone as calm as possible, and said, "But, Ruiqing, do you know that when you hurt him, you are actually hurting me?"
Ruiqing's arm that was holding me trembled suddenly, but he didn't say a word.
"I like him, you know, so I don't want him to get hurt, and..." I took a deep breath and continued, "He told me today that he wanted to date me."
Ruiqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. For just a moment, I even suspected that I was dazzled. He just looked at me quietly, and I don’t know how long it took, and the air seemed to freeze.
I was not used to this kind of atmosphere, so I coughed lightly: "I haven't responded to him yet, but..." I bit my lip and continued with determination, "I will tell him tomorrow that I want to date him. He is the perfect honey in my heart." I said all these words in one breath and felt my face as red as a tomato.
The night breeze blew on my face, making it itchy. I still said it out loud. I hope I can say it out loud bravely when I see Tsurugahara tomorrow. God, you must give me strength!
"Have you decided?" Ruiqing asked softly after an unknown amount of time.
"Well, I've decided."
I have really decided. I don't need Xiaoyi's help this time. I can be sure that I have fallen in love with this person, this boy named Tsurugahara. Just like what is said in the novel, if a person's emotions are easily influenced by another person, then it is love. And he is so perfect. When I think of everything about him, I feel sweet and happy.
"I understand." Ruiqing stopped my arm from falling weakly, lowered his head and said softly, "Since you have decided, I have nothing to say."
"Ruiqing..." This guy's depression really infects me. Seeing him in such a bad state makes me feel sad. I want to comfort him, but I find that I can't say a word of comfort.
"I just hope that Tsurugahara won't hear you when you agree to him tomorrow, haha!"
Ruiqing said something to attack me with a bright smile on his face. I didn't react at first. When I came to react, I found that this guy had run far away.
"Ruiqing, you're such a jinx!" I yelled at his back as he left, standing downstairs.
"Love really can make people stupid, right?" I asked stupidly while lying on the bed with the bear cub in my arms. The bear cub stared at me with its big eyes, as if asking me why I asked this question. Of course it would not answer my question, but I already had the answer in my heart.
I opened the curtains, held the bear cub and sat on the windowsill, looking out the window. In the black jade sky, there were a few shining stars scattered around the moon, like crystal lamps hanging lightly there. They were the elves under the moon god, guarding people's dreams in the quiet night. I gently leaned my head against the glass window, and the water vapor I exhaled condensed into a thin mist on the glass. Looking out, the scenery outside the window was shrouded in that haze, becoming unreal like a dream.
"Tomorrow I will tell Tsurugahara that I want to date him and be his girlfriend." I said this to Xiongzai, and also to the stars in the sky.
"Stars, stars, if you can hear me, please bless me to get my perfect honey."
I slept very soundly that night because I felt that the stars in the sky were also blessing me. They said to me with their sparkling eyes, Ge Ruya, you will be happy.
Well, I will be happy because I have found the person who can bring me happiness.
That night I dreamed of Tsurugahara. I dreamed that he and I were quietly gazing at each other in a golden palace. I also dreamed that we passed each other in a subway station. The dream was so sweet and happy that I didn’t want to wake up in the morning. The price of not wanting to wake up was - woo woo, I’m going to be late again.
"call……"
I put down my schoolbag and just breathed a sigh of relief when the bell for class rang. What a close call! I didn't want to prolong the cleaning time any longer. From today on, my time is very tight because I have to agree to be Tsurugahara's girlfriend.
Maybe because I was in a good mood, I found every teacher particularly pleasing to the eye today, even the usually fierce head teacher seemed so friendly. Haha, being in a good mood is really a good thing, and I felt that the air around me was also filled with a happy atmosphere.
"Hey, can you please stop grinning like an idiot? You've been laughing all day, aren't you tired?" Xiaoyi next to me rolled her eyes at me.
"Uh..." I stretched out my hand and rubbed my face, saying, "It's a little tiring, but I'm willing."
"Look at you!" Xiao Yi looked at me with a look of dismay, "I think you have forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed. Don't you remember how you cried and told me about your grievances?"
I glared at Xiaoyi. What a disgusting thing!
"Things are different now." I patted my chest and said to Xiaoyi, "You don't know how serious Tsurugahara's eyes were when he said to me yesterday, 'Let's go out together.' I believe him, and I like him so much. I will be very happy with him."
I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I heard someone snort coldly behind me. However, my enthusiasm was not affected by the snort. I continued to talk to Xiaoyi about what happened yesterday, but skipped the part where Ruiqing came to see me.
"Okay, then I wish you good luck, and I wish you and your perfect honey happiness and sweetness." Xiaoyi picked up her schoolbag and walked a few steps outside. Suddenly she stopped and turned back and said, "Don't say that the love guru didn't remind you. Don't be so optimistic. He still has so many suitors. Also, didn't you say he has someone he likes?"
Xiaoyi's words before she left made me fall from the cloud of happiness in an instant. Yes, how could I forget? He is such a perfect person, there must be many girls who like him. Also, he said on his birthday that he has someone he likes. If that's the case, then why is he still dating me?
I can see him smiling at me last night again. He said I looked silly but cute. He also said he wanted to date me. How could this be fake? It's not an illusion. Absolutely not!
I unknowingly quickened my pace, almost jogging towards the subway station. My classmates and teachers looked at me in a hurry, pointing and talking, but I didn't care. He was the only one I cared about now. I wanted to tell him that I was willing to date him and be his girlfriend because I liked him so much.
I ran forward like a possessed person, his face kept appearing in front of my eyes. From the first meeting at the subway station to every little detail afterwards, all appeared clearly in front of my eyes. Everything was not a dream, everything was real. I became more determined to be with him.
Fortunately, I caught up with it, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Well, Line 2, 6:08, this is the subway, it is this subway that brought me and Tsurugahara together, and made me wait here every day just to see him from afar.
I calmed myself down, tidied my hair which was a little messy from running, then took a deep breath, clenched my fists, and said "Come on" to myself. Finally, I raised my head, showed what I thought was the most beautiful smile, and walked into the door of the subway.
However, my bright smile froze the moment I entered the door.
In the open subway door in front of me, the boy I had been thinking about was standing quietly by the window, just as quiet and elegant as I had seen him countless times. But just as I was about to walk towards him with joy, a familiar figure came into my sight.
I watched her approach Tsurugahara, watched her tiptoe and gently kiss him on the face. That person's figure was so familiar, so familiar that I couldn't help but remember it.
