VOLUME 01
The murmurs of a wallflower
If possible
I am willing to dress up as a painted-face clown
Hiding behind the mask
even if it is occasionally embarrassing
nor will it be seen through by others
God said, I have heard your wish
Thus, I stood at the focal point of the gaze of ten thousand onlookers
Bitterness can only flow within the heart
Anna turned around and playfully winked at the crowd below, and this time it was quite a spectacle; the British boys in the audience were nearly going wild, clapping their hands with all their might, creating a thunderous sound!
Beep beep—woo woo
The sound of a horn? As I focused my gaze, a red sedan executed a beautiful "drift" in the middle of the open space, coming to a sudden stop amidst the crowd.
Wow, is that the famous Chongyang High School in Milan? Anna is so impressive!
I took a deep breath, turned around, and dashed out quickly
Zzzzzzzzz
The crowd dispersed in disappointment, leaving only Jiang Youchen, Anna, Lin Zihao, Yin Diyuan on the stage, along with my anxious self
Wuwuwu! This is not true! This is not true!
... ...
Oh—Princess Barbie is back! The excitement of the British boys in the audience is no less than that of the infatuated fans of the national saint!
Thank you, thank you everyone for your concern all this time despite not seeing each other for so long...'' Anna walked up to the podium and waved her hand to the audience, ``Now, I have finally returned!''
Dear students, as we approach the conclusion of this sports meeting, we are honored to welcome an important guest. Let us extend our warmest applause to 'Princess Barbie' - Anna! Lin Zihao seized the moment to shout into the microphone, and the audience immediately responded with a thunderous round of applause.
Brush
Who is she? We want to hear an explanation
A pair of pink princess shoes stepped out of the car door, adorned with a sparkling chain around the ankle, which is a limited edition Hello Kitty crystal chain
How could I, the eternally unfortunate Cai Ling, be the girlfriend of the first prince of Britain, Jiang Youchen? Is the sun planning to rise from the west, or is the iceberg about to melt into the ocean?
Just a moment ago, the British high school sports field was bustling like boiling water, but now it has become terrifyingly silent. Everyone, like puppets with their acupuncture points pressed, is uniformly directing their gaze towards the podium—towards me
I awkwardly turned my neck and anxiously stole a glance at Jiang Youchen, who was standing beside me; to my surprise, he was also tilting his head to look at me
Just as my heart was racing, Anna's gaze casually swept over me without any pause, as if she did not recognize me at all
What a shock...! This old lady is just too modern! I was shaking my head in laughter, ready to continue my life on the run, when I was drawn over by the renewed exclamations from the playground.
Cough... cough...
A cola bottle thrown by an irritable audience member interrupted Lin Zihao's continuous narration of his family's glorious history. Following this, several troublemakers joined in the commotion, leaving Lin Zihao looking flustered as he jumped around, trying to dodge the unidentified flying objects that occasionally soared onto the stage
Chirp
The back door of the school is not far from the podium; as long as I climb over the main gate, I will be able to escape to safety
An elderly woman with a serious expression descended from the vehicle unsteadily
I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, my mouth agape enough to fit a fist. No way? Could it be that I, Cai Ling, have been endowed with extraordinary powers, possessing immense telekinesis? Otherwise, how could the massive iron door, which was tightly shut, be slowly opening!
She is truly beautiful, her rosy face resembles that of a Barbie doll, and her big eyes mischievously blink away.
A red object rushed in like a flying dragon, executing the move "Flying Dragon in the Sky"—the dust rapidly stirred up from the ground formed a clawing yellow dragon on the playground
A mysterious figure, like a princess who has stepped out of a fairy tale, is obscured by a lace parasol, making it impossible to discern her true appearance
A pink lace parasol is opened on the car door ... a pink princess puffy dress, a sparkling pink princess handbag, lace gloves ...
Could it be ... ...
I turned my head to look at Jiang Youchen, who gazed deeply at me and silently followed Anna down from the podium
A figure in a "black suit" stepped down from the driver's seat, adjusted his white gloves, straightened the lapels of his suit, and marched to the rear door of the BMW. He respectfully bent down to open the car door, then immediately raised one hand to cover the edge of the door frame.
Just now, classmate Yin Diyuan revealed an astonishing fact to us! Lin Zihao glanced at Jiang Youchen, a victorious smile playing at the corners of his mouth, "I believe every student knows that as students, academic achievement is of utmost importance! Yet, classmate Jiang Youchen has publicly disclosed his 'romance' in front of such a large audience. I find this truly regrettable! A young person in the prime of their youth has prematurely fallen into the quagmire of early love, which makes someone as compassionate and just as I am unable to hold back tears of sympathy!"
Due to family circumstances, I transferred to Chongyang Middle School for one semester, and starting tomorrow, I will return to Guosheng!
"Hmph, they are childhood sweethearts!" Lin Zihao suddenly leaned closer to me, a mischievous smirk on his lips, "I also heard that Anna is the designated marriage partner for Jiang Youchen's family, so I think your girlfriend doesn't stand a chance..."
... ...
Jiang Youchen surprisingly did not avoid the girl as he usually did; instead, he smiled and nodded at her, saying: "Thank you, Anna"
Ah? Is it over? I still want to see Princess Anna more...
Since Princess Anna has come for Jiang Youchen's victory, let us now give the floor to the two of them! The award ceremony for today's sports meeting concludes here
"You, take me to visit England!" Anna said, turning to walk down the stage. As she turned, her gaze swept over me, and I was startled—could it be that Anna recognized me?! But if she did recognize me, why has she never exposed me?!
One step ... ... two steps ... ... ... three steps ...
But... why does my heart feel even more chaotic, like an unsolvable puzzle of nine linked rings
Princess Anna, ever since you achieved the top score in the provincial high school entrance examination with full marks, you have left Saint Laurent. Please tell us where you have been all this time; we all miss you so much... Lin Zihao wore a flattering expression, wishing he could perform a dance of praise on stage to express his longing for Anna
Whoosh whoosh whoosh
The cheers from the audience surged like waves, instantly drowning out my exclamation. The typically aloof and self-assured British boys, who usually maintain a cold demeanor towards girls, were unexpectedly cheering for Anna's appearance as if it were a festive occasion
A series of cold gazes transformed into icy meteor darts, mercilessly pinning themselves to my head, causing me to involuntarily break into a cold sweat
Today happened to coincide with Youchen winning the championship at the sports meet ... ... '' Anna turned around and smiled at Jiang Youchen, `` Youchen, congratulations ! ''
Tap tap
She walked onto the podium in her high heels, exuding grace and poise as she passed by me
This is Princess Anna from Barbie
It feels as if my heart has suddenly been electrified, beating irregularly in a chaotic manner, and my face instantly flushed all the way to the base of my neck
Watching Lin Zihua happily follow behind Anna, I felt a strangely complex emotion in my heart. Just a moment ago, I was still worried about how to resolve the issue of "Jiang Youchen's girlfriend," and now a "childhood sweetheart" Barbie princess has appeared, isn't she just solving my problem perfectly
Silence ... ... Silence ... ...
Princess Anna has returned, and she is as beautiful as ever
A crow flew silently by
Everyone, please be quiet! Be quiet!
Girl? Pink? ... My heart inexplicably begins to twitch, a bad premonition starts to descend ... ... God bless, please let it not be her ... ...
Countless sharp gazes surrounded me in layers, making it difficult for me to breathe. My mind buzzed with confusion, chaotic enough to rival a hornet's nest
I turned my head in a flurry of anxiety, and to my surprise, my gaze met another pair of deep-set eyes, so profound that they seemed bottomless, glimmering with an elusive cold light
The bright, sparkling big eyes, the long, curved eyelashes, the pink cherry-like lips, the fair skin that seems to glow with moisture... and the familiar voice that just whispered past me, isn't this...
... ...
Your game is over
Indeed, the girl standing next to Jiang Youchen is his girlfriend! Yin Diyuan seemed to see through my thoughts and answered the question in my heart
Then let the invisible me completely disappear, I slowly retreat ... slowly retreat ...
In the blink of an eye, our gazes met without any obstruction
Yes, indeed...
I believe that the actions of classmate Jiang Youchen not only have a negative impact on everyone but also severely affect the school spirit of Yingshan! I propose that the student council should take disciplinary action against Jiang Youchen's behavior, as we cannot allow such a bad atmosphere to undermine the fine traditions that Yingshan has upheld for many years. Lin Zihao noticed that his words had sparked considerable discussion among the audience, and he immediately straightened his chest and continued to speak eloquently, "As we all know, Yingshan is a prestigious school with a history of over a hundred years, and I am a descendant of the Yingshan board of directors, having returned from studying abroad...

Oh dear! Who? Who threw something at me?! My father is a board member of Yingshan, and my grandfather is also from Yingshan... Oh no! That hurts! Are you all trying to rebel?!
I looked at her with a pale face as she stood gracefully in front of Jiang Youchen, elegantly folding her umbrella. I immediately felt a blinding light piercing my eyes, and my heart kept twitching.
A somewhat off-key voice, brimming with self-satisfaction, emanated from the broadcast. I turned my head and found Lin Zihao, looking like a cat that had just caught a fish, excitedly holding the microphone. Oh no, seeing the stars sparkling in his eyes, it surely meant trouble!
Lin Zihao became more and more animated as he spoke, his voice growing increasingly louder, resembling a rooster straining its throat to crow at the top of its lungs, soon turning red in the face and thick in the neck
Yin Diyuan's words truly stirred up a tempest, causing a commotion in the audience that was incessant and chaotic. Many girls shot glances like arrows, seemingly ready to leap onto the stage and tear me to shreds at any moment
An Yu Feng appeared so out of place amidst the bustling scene, standing like a statue in one spot, holding his head high and staring intently at me
Chirp chirp.
How is that possible? I am Jiang Youchen's girlfriend
Oh? Why did Anna say she has been in Milan? I clearly saw her on the first day of school at Guosheng
What is going on
The scene fell into unprecedented chaos again. I looked around, and surprisingly, no one came to pay attention to me. ... The girl Cai Ling is indeed the number one wallflower in the world; no matter where she is thrown, no one will notice her ...
Thump thump thump thump
Everyone on the playground held their breath, and the white clouds in the sky seemed to have paused their drifting, waiting for the one who was about to step out of the car
What happened ...? Why ...? In such a chaotic moment, Jiang Youchen's expression remained so gentle, he ...? Doesn't he feel anxious or helpless? His gaze was still so clear, and there was even a slight smile on his face? Why is he smiling at me ...? Is it happiness or ...? His gaze was still so clear, and there was even a slight smile on his face? Why is he smiling at me ...? Is it happiness or ...?
Dahーー
Oh my God ...! ... Mars colliding with Earth! It turns out to be An Yufeng!
