Chapter two 1
It was raining. I was bored and stood alone at the subway station entrance, staring at the raindrops in a daze. I blamed myself for having such a useless brain. Why did I always forget to bring an umbrella?
The rain was dripping down, and the silver-like rain threads were woven into a net. I stretched out my hand, and a drop of crystal rain fell into my palm, like an uncut crystal, which made people feel pity. I blew gently into my palm, and the raindrop began to tremble slightly, like an elf shaking in the breeze, smart and lovely.
A slender figure suddenly blocked the drizzle in front of me, and a faint shadow enveloped me. I raised my head blankly, and the sky above my head instantly turned into a dreamy light blue, with brilliant sunshine, gauze-like clouds, and a refreshing breeze.
"Ge Ruya." A voice called me softly, so gentle and elegant that it made me freeze in place for a moment.
"Goriya, I like you."
Tsurugahara's beautiful lips moved, and his elegant white dress made his slender figure look even more upright. He stood there quietly, holding out his hand to me like a prince, and I just looked up at him stupidly.
What did he say? He likes me?
"You like me? Do you really like me? Tsurugahara said he likes me, hahahaha..."
"The subway is running fast, my love is a little tired, I am a little drunk, my destination is always your next stop..."
Who is it? They played music for me in such a fitting way. The subway, the subway where I met Tsurugahara, haha, it was so fitting!
But why does this music never end? And it gets louder and louder?
It's so noisy! Hey, please be quiet! Don't interrupt Tsurugahara's gentle confession, be quiet! Be quiet!
I looked around but couldn't find the source of the music. Never mind, Tsurugahara is still waiting for my answer!
"Tsurugahara, I..." Why did he disappear?
"Tsurugahara, where are you?"
I haven't answered yet, I haven't told Tsurugahara that I like him too. Tsurugahara, where have you been?
"The subway is running fast, my love is a little tired, I am a little drunk, my destination is always your next stop..."
Damn the music, it's all your fault! Where did you take my Tsurugahara? Give me back my Tsurugahara!
"Ruya." My eyes suddenly lit up and a ray of sunlight shone obliquely on my face, warm and itchy.
"Ruya, why don't you answer the phone?" Mom's hand that was pulling open the curtains had not yet been put down. She looked at me in a daze and said helplessly, "Hurry up and get up, wash up and eat."
"Ah!" I hadn't recovered from the emotion just now. I scratched my hair. It took me a while to realize that it was just a dream.
I bit my toothbrush and looked at myself in the mirror. My mouth was full of toothpaste foam, my hair was messy, and my eyes were slightly swollen. Seeing myself like this, I couldn't help but get angry. I pointed the toothbrush at myself in the mirror and cursed: "You, you are so stupid, of course it was a dream, and it was a daydream!"
After saying that, I lowered my head in frustration and sighed. That's right, if it wasn't in a dream, how could a prince-like boy like Tsurugahara confess to me? It's true that "what you think about during the day you dream about at night". However, if I could dream about Tsurugahara every day, it would be a very happy thing.
"The subway is running fast, my love is a little tired, I am a little drunk, my destination is always your next stop..."
Just as I was thinking about this, my cell phone rang again.
I spit out the foam in my mouth. Who in their right mind would call me so early in the morning?
I angrily grabbed my phone and saw, as expected, four huge words popped up on the screen - Ruiqing bastard.
"Do you want to die?" I picked up the phone and yelled into it without thinking.
"Hello, dear Ge Ruya, are you awake? Good morning!" Ruiqing's annoying voice came from the other end of the phone. I really don't understand how this guy grew up and what's in his head.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly and don't waste my precious time." I rolled my eyes and said through gritted teeth.
"You're such a jerk. I told you to be gentle, why are you still so irritable?" Ruiqing's voice made me grit my teeth. "Actually, I just called to remind you to remember my loving lunch box. Yesterday... you know."
It would have been fine if he didn't mention it. As soon as he did, I got furious and Ruiqing's smirk from yesterday instantly appeared in my mind.
"Goriya, I know your secret."
"What?" I asked guiltily.
"You—" He deliberately dragged out his voice, but his tone was light, "You like the boy just now."
"I didn't!" I denied immediately, but my face turned red all of a sudden, "Don't talk nonsense!"
He seemed like he didn't hear what I said and continued on to his own: "Haha, dear Ge Ruya, it's not easy to ask others to keep secrets." He chuckled softly, and there was no emotion in his dark eyes.
He tilted his head and pretended to think for a long time, then said slowly: "How about this, starting from tomorrow, Ge Ruya will make a lunch box for me every day. It must be a love lunch box! The kind that you can feel infinite care and love after eating one bite, if..." He paused, looked into my eyes, and said word by word, "If you don't want the whole world to know your secret, you'd better do as I say."
"Aren't you sick?" I said gritting my teeth.
"It's better if you don't mention this. My head starts to hurt as soon as you mention it. I've said before that only the lunch box you made can cure my headache. Of course, if something can have other uses while curing the disease, I'd be happy to help."
Is there any threat in the world more obvious than this? This is intolerable! If this bastard stood in front of me at this moment, I would definitely slap him to death. He actually dared to use my secret to threaten me so blatantly. Humph!
However, having said that, a person as upright and kind as me certainly wouldn't dare to do such a thing. But this doesn't stop me from retaliating against a certain guy. I would still dare to do something as small as tampering with his lunch box.
I gritted my teeth and wrapped sushi in the kitchen, cursing Ruiqing in my heart. Such a sunny morning should be used to miss the lover of my dreams, but it was ruined by Ruiqing, a bastard. Even a saint would be angry, let alone I am not a saint.
Confucius once said that only women and villains are difficult to raise. I am both a woman and a villain, so I kept squeezing mustard into the lunch box. Looking at the lunch box in my hand that looks delicious, I couldn't help but grin. Love lunch box, right? Haha, let me show you how delicious my love lunch box is.
I took my schoolbag and set off for school with brisk steps, humming a little tune happily.
Humph! If you dare to order me to do something, you must be prepared to bear the consequences. Ruiqing, you wait for me!
"Wow! Ruya, you brought two lunch boxes today. Are they for me? They look delicious!"
I have always known that food is a fatal attraction to Xiaoyi. If Xiaoyi had to choose between food and novels, I think she would not be able to survive. So when she rushed over like a hungry tiger, I had already put another lunch box in front of Ruiqing.
"Wuwu...Yaya, you give him the food and not others. Tell me, don't you want me anymore?" Xiaoyi pretended to rub her eyes, but she kept glancing at the lunch box in front of Ruiqing from the corner of her eye.
Hey, Xiaoyi, can't you be more ladylike?
"Here, eat mine." I pushed my lunch box in front of her helplessly. She snatched it away and asked with a hypocritical blink, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm losing weight." As soon as I finished speaking, she started to eat voraciously. I rolled my eyes at her. Xiaoyi must have learned how to change her face.
"That's fine. It's better if you're a little thinner. I just like skinny beauties." Ruiqing tapped the lunch box with one hand and held her chin with the other, looking at me with a smile.
I forced a smile and said, "Ruiqing, come and eat, this is prepared for you personally."
I think if there was a mirror in front of me right now, I would be disgusted to death by my own flattering appearance, but for the sake of revenge, I accepted it.
"Is it a love bento?" Someone challenged my bottom line with a sly smile on his face.
"Yes." I could hear the sound of my own teeth grinding.
"Can I get your love if I eat it?" Ruiqing asked me seriously while holding chopsticks.
"Are you going to eat or not?" I yelled. The classroom suddenly became quiet and everyone turned to look at me who was suddenly yelling.
Wuuuu... I promise I didn't mean it. I'm actually a very gentle person. He forced me to do that.
I glared at Ruiqing viciously. If I could, I really wanted to cut him into pieces.
"You don't have to be so fierce. You won't be cute if you're so fierce. Of course I'll eat the lunch made by our classmate Ge Ruya. Even if the lunch made by Ge Ruya herself is poisonous, I'll still eat it."
After saying that, he opened the box, picked up a piece of sushi, and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, I saw a real change of expression as I had hoped. Ruiqing's face changed from a full smile at the beginning to a bitter and frowning look now.
"Ah! Water, water..." Ruiqing ran out in two steps at a time, and the sound of frantic footsteps came from the corridor.
"Hahaha!" I laughed happily.
You dare to threaten me? Humph! You know the consequences, right? I, Ge Ruya, am not someone you can easily bully!
"Uh...Ruya." Xiaoyi gently pulled my clothes.
"What's wrong?" I asked, seeing that she seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What did you do to Ruiqing?" Xiaoyi looked at me with confusion.
"It's okay. This is called official business. He brought it upon himself. There's no need to sympathize with him!" I waved my hand nonchalantly.
Although I was relieved, it still didn't relieve my hatred. I got angry when I thought of the dream I had this morning. How great it would be if that dream was real. Tsurugahara in the dream was so gentle! I should have agreed. I should have agreed right away. I would have been satisfied even if it was just a dream. Humph! It was all Ruiqing's fault. Why did he call me at such a critical moment? It was a good thing for him to eat mustard.
Ruiqing walked in from outside the classroom, pointed at me with trembling hands, and didn't speak for a long time.
I looked at him with a smile: "How is it? Do you feel my love? If not, I don't mind feeding you myself!"
But why did everyone around me automatically take three steps back and look at me in horror after I said this? Xiaoyi even protected the lunch box in front of her and said with fear: "Yaya, you are so scary."
Terrible? My eyes flashed with a gleam of light, Ruiqing obviously took another step back. Since he had the courage to challenge my endurance limit, he must have a certain ability to bear it.
"Hahaha..." Thinking of this, I laughed out loud, but then the laughter stopped abruptly - the bell for class rang.
For those of us who don't like sports, physical education class is a class for gossip. Xiaoyi just dragged me to buy ice cream, and then sat under the shade of a tree to listen to the girls gossiping. What about someone's secret love affair with someone else, someone using a new weight loss product, a teacher's family is getting divorced, a handsome guy has just joined a class, and so on. Girls will never lack topics to talk about.
I was not interested in the girls' gossip, so I leaned on Xiaoyi's shoulder with my head down. Today's physical education class was particularly boring. Even Ruiqing, who usually talked a lot, went to sleep under the tree. The world was finally quiet, so I enjoyed this rare tranquility.
I looked up, squinting my eyes to see the blue sky above. The northern sky is very clean, a transparent blue, as crystal clear as a whole sapphire. Looking at it, I will be fascinated by it, just like love. Love, I silently recited these two words, how far is it from me?
Unconsciously, the image of Tsurugahara confessing his love to me in the dream emerged in my mind. The white dress, the gentle eyes, and the soft but heart-touching words "I like you". Oh, it makes me shy just thinking about it.
"Hey, you like to drool even in your dreams, right?" A familiar voice came into my ears. I opened my eyes suddenly and saw Ruiqing, the bastard, standing in front of me.
Considering that he had repeatedly disturbed my sweet dreams, I snorted coldly and turned my head away, ignoring him.
"I heard that the school basketball team next door is having a basketball game. The captain is the most handsome guy in their school. He even won the title of 'Best Shooter' last year. I wonder what kind of person is better than me, Ruiqing." The last word "Ruiqing" was dragged out, but I was already fidgeting there.
The team from the next school? Could it be...
"Xiaoyi!" I suddenly stood up and grabbed Xiaoyi who was eating ice cream and reading a novel. She was so scared that she immediately threw the book into the bushes and asked nervously with her eyes wide open: "Ah! Is the teacher here?"
"No," I said apologetically.
"You scared me to death." Xiao Yi took a deep breath, then raised her head and glared at me, "What are you crazy about? Do you want to scare me to death? Do you know that scaring others can kill them?"
"I don't know." I am a very honest person, I really don't know. Looking at Xiaoyi's angry face, I had to smile and said gently, "Xiaoyi, it's physical education class now, how about we go to the school next door to watch the game?"
I felt that my expression at this moment must be very hypocritical, because I clearly felt the naked contempt in Xiaoyi's eyes. But I pretended not to see it and continued to look at her pitifully. Who asked me to ask for help?
"Is that okay? Xiaoyi, you're the best!" I shook her arm flatteringly, my face almost frozen with smile.
"No! I'm not interested in a barbaric sport like basketball. I like gentle men." Xiaoyi slapped my hand away.
"Go ahead, there are actually a lot of handsome guys who play basketball, and there are also very gentle and kind guys."
I suddenly thought of that person, and the corners of my mouth curled up unconsciously. He was really gentle, and his every word and action revealed a fascinating gentleness.
"You're grinning foolishly again, Ge Ruya. You've been acting strangely lately. Is something wrong?" Xiaoyi waved her hand and stared at me.
