The Fourth Night: Summer Night Festival and Lolita 2
"Chaye!" Huang Mingxi suddenly called me.
I looked back at him in confusion.
Huang Mingxi said seriously: "If anything happens, just scream, I...I will definitely save you!"
Huh? Save me?
I was stunned for a moment. Huang Mingxi's strength didn't seem to be as high as mine, right? However, this guy would say that. Could it be...
The hairs on my body stood up. "Could it be that the person I'm about to meet is a Bloodline Doctor? A Bloodline Hunter? A Bloodline Killer?"
As a prospective blood descendant, these are probably the only professions I would be afraid of.
Huang Mingxi shook his head slowly and firmly: "In short, if you can't stand it, you must scream."
"Oh!" I breathed a sigh of relief. Since they are not the natural enemy of the blood descendants, what do I have to be afraid of!
The agreed location was a medium-sized meeting room on the third floor of the Central Castle.
When I arrived, there were already a few petite girls chatting inside, the chattering was quite lively.
I straightened my school uniform and made sure there was nothing wrong with me before I politely knocked on the door - when meeting someone for the first time, I had to leave a good impression.
The door of the conference room is a glass door, and the situation in the room can be clearly seen. Maybe I knocked on the door too softly and the little girls didn’t hear it. They were still chatting enthusiastically and gathered together to draw something on a piece of white paper.
It seems that the younger schoolmates have already started the discussion. As a senior, I am actually later than them, which makes me feel ashamed.
I increased my strength and continued to knock on the door: "Knock, knock, knock."
No one in the conference room paid any attention.
My men exerted force—"Bang, bang, bang!"
Still no one looked back.
It seems that the female students are too focused, so I'd better go in by myself.
I pushed the glass door, but it didn't move at all?
I pushed again, and the door opened a little, but quickly closed again.
I looked down and saw a bamboo broom against the glass door.
This... was obviously intentional, right?
It seems that the school girls are rather naughty, no wonder the classmates are unwilling to come.
I took a deep breath, spread my legs, squatted in a standard horse stance, then put my hands against the glass door and slowly exerted force.
The stubborn glass door was slowly pushed open by me, and the bamboo broom against the door gradually bent into an arc.
"Bang!" The bamboo broom flew away and the glass door opened.
The girls who were talking turned around.
I stood up straight as if nothing had happened, brushed off the nonexistent dust, and smiled very gently, "Sorry for the wait, junior sisters!"
"Who allowed you to call us that!" A little girl who was only as tall as my chest stood up.
I didn't care if she didn't say anything, but when she started talking, I was completely shocked.
That pink baby face, that porcelain doll-like skin, that long golden hair, those glass-like green eyes, that small nose, those pink lips, and that perfectly proportioned nine-head body...
Oh my god! It's so cute! I really want to hug it and take a bite!
Then, when I came to my senses, the cute junior school girl was already in my arms in an obscene manner, and my teeth were eager to touch her face.
If I had been daydreaming for just one more second, my schoolmate’s rosy face would have been left with clear marks of my teeth.
"Ah!" I screamed and quickly pushed my junior sister out of my arms.
Are you kidding! What if I go crazy and start sucking the life energy of my schoolmate?
As a result, I obviously overexerted myself in a hurry.
The delicate little school girl was pushed out by me like a rag doll.
“Bang!” “Snap!” “Clang!”
The junior high school girl knocked over a chair, knocked over a table, and finally slid to the ground along the window.
"Ah! Lady Liuli!" After being stunned for a moment, the other junior girls screamed and ran towards her.
Oh my god! I'm not going to make her vomit blood again! This junior girl is not a senior from the Bloodline! Will I hurt her?
I also rushed forward hurriedly and waved away the other school girls who were in a panic.
The little girl named Liuli sat on the carpet with a painful look on her face.
I picked her up with trembling hands, praying in my heart that nothing would happen to her.
Liuli trembled all over and opened her beautiful glass-colored eyes. When she saw that it was me, she immediately struggled violently, her face flushed with anger: "Let me go! You violent woman!"
I quickly let go of my hands.
Liuli fell onto the carpet with a "plop".
I clenched my fingers guiltily: "I'm...I'm sorry..."
Liuli rubbed her bruised butt and trembled with anger: "You...you must have done this on purpose!"
I raised my hands to prove my innocence: "I really didn't mean to do that!"
"So it was intentional?" Liuli narrowed her eyes.
This familiar action caused the temperature of my body to drop several degrees.
"Hmph! I'll be magnanimous and forgive you, so I'll let you go!" Liuli shook his arms and turned his heels. His movements seemed very smooth, but I don't know if the collision just now left any bruises.
I was wrong, but Liuli was willing to forgive me on her own initiative. I was really flattered.
She circled around me, her nostrils flaring, and I didn't know what she was sniffing.
I stood there cooperatively, wondering whether I should take her to the infirmary for a full body check-up first. What if she had internal injuries?
Liuli suddenly stopped all movements and looked in disbelief.
I held my breath nervously: "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Who are you?" Liuli completely ignored my question and asked anxiously.
She clearly looked like she disliked me, but she still reluctantly stood on tiptoe and sniffed my neck.
I didn't understand what was going on, so I answered honestly, "Senior 1S class, tea night."
"What!" Liuli jumped up in shock, looking stunned, and pointed at me with a shaking finger, "You! Are you that Cha Ye?"
Huh? Why is Liuli so excited? Am I famous? Does she know me?
I couldn't help but feel a little smug, and nodded, "Yeah."
"Oh my God! You are the unlucky god!" Liuli beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Even the other female students became wary and quickly moved away, leaving a vacuum zone around me.
Well, my behavior just now was a bit violent, but there is no need to say that I am the god of bad luck! From Liuli's tone, it seems that this inexplicable nickname of mine is quite famous?
This realization made me feel a little unhappy.
No matter what, it would be bad if the cute school girl misunderstood me, so I adjusted my facial expression and said as amiably as possible: "Liuli, I'm not a bad luck god!"
"You are obviously the one!" Liuli responded with certainty, "It's because of you! You've been buzzing around His Majesty day and night! I don't even have the chance to visit His Majesty!"
Junior, what you said is really too much!
But I finally figured it out. Liuli is also a fan of Huang Mingxi. She was really caught in the crossfire. However, I can understand Liuli's feelings. Who says that Huang Mingxi's fans have different ideas from ordinary people? But can you please not vent your anger on me, an innocent senior?
The obsession of "fans" cannot be changed, but I still want to clear my name. I can't make enemies for no reason, right? That would be so unfair!
To solve a problem, you must first understand the cause of the problem.
I tried my best to smile with the corners of my mouth tilted up 45 degrees, and asked softly, "Can you tell me why you call me 'the God of Misfortune'?"
"Of course!" Liuli seemed to have finally found someone to confide in, and she complained bitterly: "Master Huang is the most elegant and noble aristocrat in the world! Our admiration for Master Huang is like a torrent of water! Master Huang's seriousness and ruthlessness deeply impress us! But! Because of you! A low-class pariah with an unknown origin! Master Huang actually showed a strange expression! The high and mighty Master Huang is the real Master Huang! He doesn't need to laugh at all! Laughter is an expression that only fragile humans have! It's also because of you! The selfless Master Huang actually broke into the women's locker room! What you did is simply a disgrace to Master Huang! You tarnished Master Huang's nobility! This is known to everyone in the entire Rose Academy! Do you still dare to say that you are not a god of misfortune?"
I watched in amazement as the woman shed tears and uttered a moving speech, but please forgive me for not being able to comprehend her sorrow at all.
Huang Mingxi is a living person, why can't he have joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness? What's wrong with being noble and elegant? They can't be eaten! I think the Huang Mingxi I saw during the days I spent with him was very real. He would laugh, get angry, get upset, and take the initiative to find a way out for me. Isn't this kind of Huang Mingxi cute? Why must he be serious and cold-blooded? This strange theory is not "like" at all. Even if I'm not smart enough, I know that like is not like this, at least it shouldn't be "what kind of person I hope he is." Liuli's idea is too unfair to Huang Mingxi.
"You can't say that." I couldn't help but retort, "Liuli, let me ask you, do you really like Huang Mingxi?"
The girl's expression turned angry because of what I said. She said angrily, "Of course I like you! My favorite person in the whole world is the Emperor!"
I walked up to Liuli, bent down, and looked at her at eye level: "So do you care about his mood?"
Because of my approach, Liuli took a step back defensively, but immediately realized that her retreat was a loss of morale, so she stubbornly took two steps forward.
She was very dismissive of my question: "I just need to like the emperor! His mood is his own business!"
I finally realized the problem: for Liuli, Huang Mingxi is the most ideal existence in her heart, perfect and flawless, but Huang Mingxi's inner self has nothing to do with her.
If all of Huang Mingxi's "fans" think this way, then he is really pitiful... Maybe he will become a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder of elegance, because of the environment?
I let out a long sigh and secretly decided to be nicer to Huang Mingxi in the future.
Liuli saw my reaction and asked sensitively: "Why are you sighing! Don't you believe that I like Master Huang?"
I organized the limited words in my brain, considered my tone, and then said, "What's the difference between you liking a doll?"
"Dolls are objects! The emperor is not an object!" Liuli retorted hastily.
The girl's cheeks are red, looking like a ripe red apple. Even when she is angry, she is still cute, making people want to pinch her face.
Facing the lovely Liuli, I really couldn't put on a serious expression, so I could only smile helplessly and said, "I like Liuli too. I like angry Liuli and I like happy Liuli too."
"You..." The little girl's ears were burning. She was trying her best to argue with me, but she was caught off guard by my sudden "confession".
"Huang Mingxi is just like you. He also has happy and unhappy times. If you don't allow him to be happy, he will feel very uncomfortable. Let's use an analogy. If I don't allow you to like your 'Huang Sir', what will you do?"
"I will not give up my love for Lord Huang just because of your obstruction!" Liuli calmed down and declared loudly and proudly.
I smiled cunningly, haha, I was fooled: "So, if you don't allow him to laugh or do anything, he will be very sad! Making your favorite emperor sad is the way you like him?"
"I... I didn't..." Liuli grabbed the hem of her skirt nervously, caught in a dilemma.
I followed up with: "True love means hoping that he is happy, accepting his shortcomings and helping him to correct them, feeling warm when he smiles, and worrying about him when he is sad."
I recalled the smile I saw when I first met Huang Mingxi. It was so innocent and carefree. It was the cleanest and most beautiful smile I had ever seen since I was born. It was because of that smile that I had no guard against Huang Mingxi from the beginning. In my subconscious, people with a smile brighter than the sun would not hurt others at will.
Even though he was my natural enemy, he didn't hurt me. He took me in and promised to help me find a way to turn back into a human.
Such a Huang Mingxi has never let me down.
I couldn't help but curl up the corners of my mouth. It seemed that Huang Mingxi's smile was in front of me, full of the power to heal the soul. I said to the stunned Liuli, "I know you really like Huang Mingxi, so can you like him with both his strengths and weaknesses?"
Liuli blinked her big watery eyes, seeming to understand but not quite.
She looked at me hesitantly, as if considering it.
I rubbed her hair encouragingly, it felt like touching silk, it was so lovely.
Liuli did not stop me from getting close to her. She pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "Do you like Mr. Huang too?"
Eh? Are you asking me if I like Huang Mingxi?
"I..." The answer is of course "like"! I have always hoped to be his "sister"! But for some reason, I couldn't open my mouth. I always felt that the "like" in Liuli's mouth was different from my "like".
"Hehe!" Liuli laughed triumphantly, "Human! I admit that what you said makes sense! But the degree to which you like Master Huang is far less than that of me!"
Then, she bypassed me and ran towards the door of the conference room: "Sir Emperor! Brother!"
I turned around in shock and saw Huang Mingxi and Ji Youran standing at the door with different expressions. I didn’t know how long they had been there, or whether they had heard the conversation between Liuli and me...
Wait! What did Liuli just yell? And... am I dazzled?
——That eternal iceberg, my class teacher, Huang Mingxi’s butler, actually leaned over and picked up the cheering Liuli, smiling warmly at the same time?
The other girls in the conference room were so excited that they were speechless. They just looked at Ji Youran and Huang Mingxi with admiration.
Ji Youran pushed up his glasses, and a cold light flashed in his eyes that made me shudder. He opened his mouth, showing his white teeth, and smiled, "Chaye, I forgot to introduce you. This is my sister, Ji Liuli."
Liuli cooperated and made a face at me.
Ji Youran added: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, even though Liuli is just a little girl now, she is actually older than you."
What?
"Ah, just think of it as some kind of 'dwarfism' in humans!" Ji Youran ignored my petrified reaction and said gloatingly, "So, you still have to call Liuli 'sister'."
I overturned the table in anger - this guy must have done it on purpose! Ever since he knew that I had once plotted to become Huang Mingxi's "sister", he began to deliberately stimulate me, and he never tired of it!
Liuli raised her chin and gave me a fatal blow, "Human, your sermon just now was very brilliant. My brother and the emperor heard it!"
Oh my god! I believe they are brother and sister! Their playful personalities are exactly the same!
But...how should I face Huang Mingxi next?
I didn't say anything that he might misunderstand, did I?
Because of the appearance of Ji Youran and Huang Mingxi, today's discussion finally got on track.
Three of the junior high school girls who came with Liuli fainted, and one went into shock. They were all sent to the infirmary. It was said that it was because of excessive excitement that the blood rushed to the brain, and it was not serious. So now there were only me, Liuli, Huang Mingxi, Ji Youran, and a little girl who was trembling the whole time and staring at Huang Mingxi in a trance.
"Brother, why are you here?" Although Liuli was asking her own brother, her eyes were looking at Huang Mingxi shyly.
I didn't expect that she had such a shy side. It was really eye-opening... But why did I feel uncomfortable when I saw this scene? Why did I feel depressed?
Ji Youran immediately smiled at Liuli, saying, "Of course I came to see if you, the little scoundrel, have bullied my senior sister again!"
Liuli curled her lips in disdain: "I don't want to bully them! They are useless and always try to show off, but in the end they can't win against me."
"You're just using both soft and hard tactics! You're such a naughty girl!" Ji Youran pinched Liuli's face, her tone full of doting, without any blame at all.
