Chapter 1
I do not want to listen! The feeling of anger has completely muddled my mind; I do not want to hear anything, do not want to see anything, I just want to leave this place immediately, to leave this place that makes me both angry and sad
It hurts! But no matter how much it hurts, it is still better than embarrassing myself in front of the person I love. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Dengeki Haruka nervously approaching to ask about my condition, so I quickly covered my head and ran forward, turning back to wave at Dengeki Haruka: "Um... Dengeki, thank you, ah—" I fell to the ground in a position reminiscent of a dog eating excrement, sobbing... This is truly an embarrassing moment. I endured the pain, and while the people behind me had not yet caught up, I sprang up like a carp and dashed towards the school. While running, I turned back to wave at Dengeki Haruka: "Um... Dengeki, thank you, ah—" I fell to the ground in a position reminiscent of a dog eating excrement, sobbing... This is truly an embarrassing moment. I endured the pain, and while the people behind me had not yet caught up, I sprang up like a carp and dashed towards the school.
I lay weakly on the desk, gazing out the window. In fact, the weather today is quite nice; the sky is still so blue, and the clouds are still so white. Yet, my mood remains unlifted. So much has happened in just one morning; anyone would find it hard to feel good. However, what troubles me the most is seeing that Dung Huayuan was confessed to.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" After exiting the subway station, Ruiqing grabbed my arm, smiled, touched his head, tilted it, and said, "My illness is actually easy to treat, and only you can give me this medicine"
Is this a dream
What is wrong with you? I asked him in confusion
I stood at the Line 2 subway station, gazing at the familiar billboard, experiencing a moment of daze
What? What does he mean by saying that? Does he know that I am here to follow him? Oh my God, will he think of me as a stalker? What should I do? What should I do?
The number of people on the subway remains as high as ever, and I am being pushed and jostled by others. It seems that the school uniform my mother ironed and prepared for me last night is once again destined for sacrifice. I let out a helpless sigh, my eyes fixed intently on one person.
I was momentarily stunned, forgetting my fear and even to look up, simply standing there in a daze
Loving someone should be a very happy thing, but right now I feel a bit bitter. The image of Dunsuke and that girl with a flushed face keeps flashing before my eyes. Did he accept it, or did he refuse? ... If it were me, would he ...? ... But he doesn't even know who I am. If I don't say anything, will I miss the chance to be with him for a lifetime?
I instinctively lowered my head. Am I blushing again? No, no! I cannot embarrass myself in front of him! No, I must stay calm, yes, deep breath, stay composed! Oh dear, my heart is racing up to my throat, how can I stay calm?
Pay attention in class. I changed the subject and pretended to listen attentively to the teacher's lecture
Just like now, after getting off the subway, there is still a stretch of uphill road to the school. Today, however, there was a cardboard box placed on the uphill path, from which came a few barks of "Woof, woof, woof." Soon after, a fluffy little head peeked out. By the time I realized it was a puppy, Dunjie Yuan had already crouched down, tearing apart the bread in his hand and offering it to the puppy. Watching the puppy bury its head in the food Dunjie Yuan held, my gaze shifted upward, where I saw a gentle and indulgent smile on Dunjie Yuan's flawless face.

Watching the puppy bury its head in the food Dunjie Yuan held, my gaze shifted upward, where I saw a gentle and indulgent smile on Dunjie Yuan's flawless face.
I bite the pen holder, my fingers incessantly pick at the corners of the book, and my mind is filled with these chaotic questions. What is wrong with me? Am I possessed?
He suddenly chuckled softly, pointing at the Saint Ying Academy uniform I was wearing, "Are you from Saint Ying Academy? It seems you have already passed by."
I have lived like this for over ten years, and if there are no unforeseen circumstances, I will continue to live this way until I meet that person. I believe that everything is predestined, that I was destined to be late that morning, destined to squeeze in just as the subway doors were closing, and destined to meet my ideal honey—Tsuruga Hara
"Alas, this time they are all alive." Xiao Yi looked up at me upon hearing my words, revealing a face full of sorrow.
Last time on the subway, I infatuatedly called out to him "honey," and he merely smiled at me, steadied me, and said, "be careful," after which he did not speak to me again. Logically, he should not remember me.
Hey, let go of me, I can walk by myself, let go!
Sigh... Xiaoyi suddenly lowered her voice and sighed with a sense of grievance, then she became deeply engrossed in the novel again with a conflicted expression on her face. Seeing her expression, I knew that the ending of the novel must be unfavorable, which is why she became gloomy again
Is he talking to me? Is Dengeki Haruka saying "goodbye" to me? I snapped back to reality, feeling as energized as if I had been injected with adrenaline: "Ah, Dengeki Haruka, wait!"
"Hey, Ge Ruya, stop daydreaming, we are almost at the station!" Ruiqing unethically poked my forehead with his index finger, which made me so angry that I grabbed his finger and pinched it hard. Seeing him grimace in pain did not satisfy my anger; I thought that if it weren't in a public place, I would definitely bite down without hesitation.
This is a sentence from the pocket romance novel that my deskmate Xiaoyi lent me. Initially, I looked down upon such deceptive words in romance novels, but after experiencing it myself, I realized that those seemingly childish words actually hold some truth.
The subway is indeed a remarkable invention, not only due to its high speed and efficiency but also because it serves as the backdrop for many touching stories. I remember watching a television drama when I was very young, in which the male protagonist, guided by an angel, encounters the female protagonist by chance on the subway, and then the two of them walk together until the end.
Haha! I couldn't help but laugh out loud. If being enchanted means being enchanted by love, then love truly can leave a person in a daze.
Ah! Thank you, please make way!
I quickly turned my head and saw a beautiful girl in a pink checkered dress, who was looking at me with a face full of anger, her eyes filled with reproach
A sudden bitterness surged within my heart. During this more than one month of following him, I had long regarded Dung Huayuan as a part of my life, which is why I subconsciously believed that Dung Huayuan belonged to me and that no one else could approach him. However, even though we have had two encounters, that is nothing at all; he doesn't even know my name
The shy and timid profile of the girl reappeared, like a stone breaking the tranquility of the lake's surface. I couldn't help but frown and sigh; it should be me who has a headache today.
"Your school is right behind you, classmate. You just need to turn around and walk forward." Upon hearing Yoshihara's words, I excitedly turned around.
Hehe. "Dunhua smiled softly, and for some reason, there was a hint of helplessness in his gaze as he looked at me. "You shouldn't always be so careless; it makes people worry."
"Have you quarreled with Ruiqing again?" Xiaoyi asked me without even raising her head
I rolled my eyes at Ruiqing's back, but who knew he was blocking his face with a book and then turned his head to smile at me triumphantly. I was furious and turned my head to ignore him. Just as I was about to sit down, suddenly my chair was pulled, making a "puff" sound. Now, all the classmates, including the teacher, turned their eyes towards me.
You two argue all the time, and I can't be bothered to pay attention to it. Xiao Yi shrugged and said softly, However, recently Ruiqing seems to be doing poorly; his scores in the last two exams have dropped significantly, and the teacher has approached him several times.
Thank you, thank you! I, I ... ...
At this moment, time seems to have come to a standstill. I gaze at the profile of Dunhua Yuan, with its distinct contours, high nose bridge, thinly pressed lips, and slightly upturned corners of his mouth. As I watch his long fingers entwined with my white shoelaces, I suddenly think: let it be, let time stop at this moment, let the world stop at this moment, let everything cease at this moment. As I watch his long fingers entwined with my white shoelaces, I suddenly think: let it be, let time stop at this moment, let the world stop at this moment, let everything cease at this moment.
Alas, it is still this school uniform that saved me; otherwise, I would have certainly been scolded by that unscrupulous homeroom teacher. One day, I will be crushed by this detestable subway; at that time, will I be considered a heroic national martyr
Before I could turn around, a hand had already rested on my shoulder, with long fingers, wheat-colored skin, and exceptionally well-groomed nails. Just by looking at this hand, I already knew who had arrived, and I really did not want to see this person now
Oh dear, you are truly heartless. I kindly reminded you, ah—" Ruiqing's exaggerated voice rang out, a finger pointing at the opposite Dungeyuan, "Your savior is about to get off the car.
"That..." I gently tugged at Dunsuke Hara's shirt hem, looking at him as if he were an idol, "Thank you!"
I am different from Xiaoyi; she enjoys watching tragic stories, while I only like happy endings. In Xiaoyi's words, my emotional intelligence can only accept such conclusions, and I cannot handle anything too complicated
"She is fine; with me here, she will certainly be fine, and it is impossible for anything to happen to her." I do not know when Ruiqing had already positioned herself in front of me, smiling as she spoke to Dunhegen.
What happened again? This time, did the male lead die or the female lead? I asked in a low voice. Nowadays, tragic novels basically follow a few formats: car accidents, amnesia, leukemia, with no originality at all
Although the teacher no longer pursued the matter, the classmates in the class all wore expressions of suppressed laughter. My deskmate and good friend, Xiaoyi, was even laughing so hard that she bent over, hiding her face behind her textbook. I expressed extreme dissatisfaction and disdain for her ungrateful behavior of treating a good friend as a source of amusement.
I stood there with a conflicted expression, my fingers twisting the strap of my backpack, wondering whether I should intervene or not
Dunhua Yuan, I... I like you
A layer of mist has clouded my eyes, and I grit my teeth and move forward, not knowing where I am headed
I collided heavily with the utility pole behind me
However, the heavens do not always align with human wishes. Just as I had hidden myself in the corner, a sharp voice suddenly rang out: "You stepped on my foot, it hurts terribly!"
Oh, are you already reluctant to part so soon? Just a moment ago, weren't you expressing deep disdain?
Looking at the phone in my hand, which was constantly flashing with the image of敦贺原, and listening to the song "Subway" that represented my sweet mood, I couldn't help but recall the scene I had just witnessed. My emotions finally got the better of me, and gritting my teeth, I hurled the phone against the wall.
I felt my face flush again, quickly lowering my head, fearing that others would see my embarrassed appearance
I scrutinized him from head to toe—his hair was somewhat disheveled, his eyes were slightly puffy, his complexion was a bit pale, and his lips had a hint of purple.
Although there are many people around me and they are quite noisy, his voice is very soft, yet I can still hear it clearly. There is only a distance of two steps between us, and I really want to walk over and tell him that I am fine, but I hesitated because of my shyness
The subway was still very crowded, and what had just happened felt like a minor interlude in a concert, quickly forgotten by everyone. People continued to come and go, while the three of us leaned against the handrail, not speaking to each other. I dared not look directly at Dunhuan, but secretly watched his figure through the subway's glass window. Dunhuan's beautiful features and charming smile were truly one of a kind in this world.
People getting on and off the bus came and went in a continuous stream, and I was pushed and jostled until I was squeezed against the handrail in the middle. I simply leaned there, my mind filled with thoughts of one person, their frowning, pursed lips, light laughter, and even their expressionless face replaying in my mind like a film. These images were like tiny bubbles, gently rising in the lake of my heart, then bursting and creating ripples upon ripples.
"It's none of your business, hum!" I said in exasperation.
A rare opportunity has been bestowed upon me; how could I possibly let it slip away? I quickly nodded vigorously, as if pounding garlic, and said, "Yes, I am lost."
Isn't that a perfect ending? What is that expression on your face? I asked in confusion
Hello, everyone has left. Is this silly smile for me?
I believe today I can participate in the selection of the world's most unfortunate person.
Ruiqing had a suppressed smile on her face: "Haha! It was when you were crouching that you bumped into the chair, Ge Ruya, you are just too adorable!"
"Just because..." The voice of Ruiqing behind him paused for a moment, then suddenly raised in pitch, "Just because I know your secret."
I shot a fierce glare at his back, no longer paying him any attention, and turned to walk forward.
What’s wrong? You seem hesitant; you wouldn’t have developed a crush on someone, would you? Come on, tell me who it is! I want to hear all about it!" Xiao Yi immediately sprang out of her earlier dejected mood, staring at me with a gossiping expression, her eyes filled with curiosity
You are really something, so you keep thinking. I will take my leave first. Xiao Yi glanced at me helplessly and left with her backpack
Bang
"Hello, classmate, you are from Saint Ying College, right?" an elderly lady suddenly called out to me
I cast a glance at Ruiqing, and seeing his sickly face, I truly felt a bit of compassion. I sighed inwardly, "Ge Ruya, you are indeed too kind; this fellow is taking full advantage of your kindness. You must not be deceived, yes, you must not be deceived!
This is the third time. With this time, he has selflessly stood up for me for the third time. I stared at him blankly, suddenly feeling that nothing else in this world mattered anymore. Let him stand in front of me like this, bearing glory and the faith of love.
Who are you
However, at this moment, if I disregard him, am I being too ungrateful? After all, we were classmates, and he is ill; if I ignore him, would that not be contrary to humanitarian principles?
The words I blurted out left all three of us stunned; I shouted perhaps a little too loudly, causing the surroundings to fall silent in an instant. I did not mean to, I swear! However, my actions always seem to outpace my thoughts. How could I have called out someone else's name so impulsively? Why was it so loud, couldn't it have been more gentle? Why couldn't I have thought it through? But my actions always seem to outpace my thoughts. How could I have called out someone else's name so impulsively? Why was it so loud, couldn't it have been more gentle? Why couldn't I have thought it through?
I can only watch Xiaoyi's back and silently apologize in my heart, I am truly sorry, Xiaoyi, I did not mean to deceive you, I was really afraid of being rejected, and it was too embarrassing, please forgive me
I secretly glanced at Dunsuke Haruka standing in front of me and couldn't help but think that perhaps he had discovered that I was actually a lovely girl, which is why he was confessing to me. However, this possibility is too small; he probably doesn't know me at all
Since I do not know what he is thinking, I might as well be straightforward. I have never been someone who enjoys beating around the bush, as the one who ends up confused after all the circling is certainly me
From a young age, I have always fantasized that there would be a perfect prince in this world to become my honey. He must possess the noble demeanor of a prince, as well as the gentle and courteous nature of a gentleman. Most importantly, he must be perfect in every way—his appearance, physique, and intelligence must all be flawless
I don't know, it seems like a pervert
"I have had a headache all day today, and I can't focus on anything. My ears were buzzing while the teacher was lecturing, and I felt my head was heavy and swollen." He pouted and said with a sense of grievance, "Ge Ruya, I feel like I am ill, and it seems to be quite serious."
Xiao Yi was still talking incessantly, while I unknowingly fell into my own thoughts. A confession? The scene I saw this morning resurfaced in my mind. If I confess, will I not miss the opportunity?
In the past, I could only rely on dreams and fantasies to envision my perfect honey, but I never expected to encounter the prince of my dreams on this day
I was lost in thought when Yoshihara suddenly crouched down in front of me. I looked at him in surprise, just as I was about to move, when I heard him say, "Your shoelaces are untied; you might trip while walking later." After saying this, he reached out his hand to help me tie my shoelaces.
Oh, hello
Gentle, composed, and irresistible, this voice sounds so familiar, this is ... ...
I had no choice but to set aside the grievances in my heart, turning around to stare at Ruiqing, who had arrived a minute earlier than me: "Tell me, was it you who did it?"
"No, it's nothing!" I said dismissively, not wanting Xiaoyi to know the embarrassing thoughts I had. So, I patted her on the shoulder and said, "I was just thinking about schoolwork. The day after tomorrow is the exam, right? I was thinking about that!"
The old lady looked at me with an inscrutable expression, making the hairs on my neck stand on end. Finally, I heard her helplessly say, "Just by looking at your school uniform, I can tell you are from Saint Ying Academy, child. You have arrived at your destination"
I am Xin Xin, a second-year student at Shengying College, you can just call me Xin Xin
I secretly pinched my right hand with my left hand—ouch
First, let me introduce the target individual. Based on my over one month of surveillance and information gathered through various gossip channels, I have learned that his name is Dunhe Yuan. He is a brilliant top student in the second grade, class three, at the neighboring school. He appears at the subway station around 7:20 AM every day and takes Line 2 to school, returning on the same line in the afternoon. He is 1.80 meters tall, weighs 65 kilograms, and his measurements... This still requires further investigation. He appears at the subway station around 7:20 AM every day and takes Line 2 to school, returning on the same line in the afternoon. He is 1.80 meters tall, weighs 65 kilograms, and his measurements... This still requires further investigation.
In my mind, a fierce internal struggle is taking place, completely unaware that I am being dragged forward by someone else. By the time I realize it, I have already walked quite a distance. Am I the patient, or is he the patient?
"You little brat, how dare you meddle in my affairs? You must be looking for trouble! Let me tell you, if you don't let go, I will cut you in half!" The man, after regaining his senses from having his wrist grabbed, began to curse loudly, struggling desperately to break free from Dunsuke's grip, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape Dunsuke's hold.
"Yes, I am sorry, it is too crowded, I..." I realized that I had accidentally stepped on her foot, and I quickly looked down to apologize. While apologizing, I was puzzled as to why such a beautiful girl could be so frightening when scolding someone. At that moment, I had no idea that this girl, who was reprimanding me, would have many more opportunities in the future to make me feel her terrifying presence.
Forget it, it is better to be embarrassed than to be caught late by the teacher. You should know that the punishment for being late in our class is to clean the classroom for an entire week.
While I was feeling grateful for being content with my current situation, I suddenly felt a hand touch my... my bottom, and it... pinched me! A pervert? No way, I can't believe I actually encountered such a dramatic situation with a pervert in the subway
At the end of school, Xiaoyi came to find me, while I was still resting my head on the desk in a daze
Uh... no, there is nothing, I was just saying that, there is really nothing!
It is truly baffling; everything was fine just a moment ago. Could it be that he has had a stroke
But why should I be angry? On what basis should I be angry? I am not anyone to him
Looking at the reflection of myself on the billboard, I truly appear disheveled, with my hair tangled like a bird's nest and my school uniform wrinkled like a rag
"Take care of yourself." Dunhuan Yuan released his hand, no longer looking at the man who was still baring his teeth and cursing. A pair of beautiful eyes were fixed on me, and I could not understand his gaze. To be precise, I am not someone who can see through people's hearts at all. If it were any other time, being able to make eye contact with Dunhuan Yuan would surely make me feel blissfully happy, or I would directly rush forward to confess my feelings. But right now, I wished I could find a hole to burrow into.
"Hmph! Do you think a mere apology can make my foot stop hurting? I've never seen someone as foolish as you, unable to even stand properly." The beautiful girl continued to speak, while I stood there in a daze, unsure of what to say.
Oh dear! Upon hearing this, Ruiqing immediately frowned and complained, "You only just thought of me, huh? My head is about to explode from the pain! If I die from this headache, I will haunt you as a ghost, visiting your home every night."
He simply smiled at that girl, then glanced at me and said, "Besides, she has already apologized, so let's not blame her anymore, shall we?" His voice was very gentle; even when he was reprimanding someone, it sounded pleasant coming from his lips.
Song of Asia
Just when I thought I was about to cry, a heavenly voice suddenly reached my ears: "Sir, if you cannot manage your own hands, then perhaps the police should take care of you."
This is true
I strive to evade the hand behind me, but there are simply too many people. The moment I manage to move away even slightly, that hand immediately follows, and it becomes even more aggressive.
I bit the pen, flipping through the book, my mind a complete mess. My deskmate, Xiaoyi, after laughing, continued to eagerly flip through the romance novel hidden beneath her textbook. Normally, I would happily join her to read together, but today I had completely lost that interest. The scene from this morning where Dunge Yuan was confessed to kept flashing before my eyes, and I could do nothing but stare blankly, feeling really frustrated
Isn't that the girl who just scolded me on the subway? What is she going to do now? Does she know Dung Hu? Then why didn't she greet him on the subway just now? ... What is this situation ...? ... Is this situation a confession?
I have no mood to attend the class, the densely packed characters in the Chinese textbook resemble ants moving back and forth before my eyes, making me feel quite annoyed. My gaze involuntarily sweeps towards the phone in my pocket, which lies there quietly, reminding me of everything that happened this morning
Ruiqing mumbled these nonsensical and unreliable words, yet her eyes did not leave my face for a moment
I feigned grievance and said: "Are you not even going to let me rest in peace? Is it really that cruel, to bring calamity for a thousand years? Don't worry, you won't die; we are going to the hospital right now"
The girl immediately blushed, perhaps because it was the first time she had seen a boy as princely as Dunsuke Haruka. She even became shy in her gaze towards him, and she softly uttered an "mm" before falling silent again
Angel? I looked up at the bright lights above me, is there really an angel? If there is, they must know my wishes, so could they help me fulfill my desires? A glimmer of hope suddenly arose in my heart, but then I thought, with so many people in this world carrying their own burdens, can an angel truly help everyone?
"Dream on!" I said through gritted teeth, then turned around in a huff and walked away. Make lunch for you? No way! On what grounds?
Just when I was at a loss, I heard his pleasant voice once again: "Could it be that you are lost?"
Are you alright? he asked me softly
The moment I rushed into the classroom, I felt the silence enveloping the entire class. Fortunately, the teacher was writing on the podium and did not see me. Standing at the back door of the classroom, I shot a fierce glare at Ruiqing, who had arrived a minute earlier than me, and then, crouching slightly, I steeled myself and walked towards my seat.
Xiaoyi, I want to, I... I gently opened my mouth, but I could not utter the words that followed
I ... ...
Remove your hand! I rolled my eyes at him
I was tidying the hem of my school uniform skirt when my hand suddenly stopped. Although the sound was not loud, it still startled me, making me turn around as if I had been electrocuted.
The subway rushes quickly, my beloved is a bit tired, I am a little drunk, my destination is always at your next stop
Before I could regain my composure, someone suddenly wrapped their arm around my shoulder, gripping my arm with great strength, allowing the courage I thought I had lost to gradually return to my body. It was only then that I trembled and lifted my head, noticing Ruiqing, who I had not paid attention to before, glaring at a portly man with a round face in front of us, while simultaneously tightening his grip on my shoulder.
"Ge Ruya, school is already over, what are you still doing sitting here? Honestly, I don't know what's wrong with you; you've been looking so lifeless all day long." Xiao Yi said, patting my head and looking at me with some concern.
I feel that my voice is even smaller than the sound of a mosquito, completely lacking the momentum I had when I called out to Tsuruga earlier. I let out a sigh, feeling truly disappointed in myself
My life has always been in a stage of "just fine", without peaks or valleys, simply plain and uncomplicated. In the words of that guy Ruiqing, my life is a straight line, and I am just a carefree girl
Faced with this troublesome individual, I truly do not know what to say, and I have even begun to doubt whether he is a being from this planet
Behind Ruiqing, I seem to see his gentle and faint smile, elegant like a prince. I cannot help but feel my heart race; it turns out that liking someone knows no bounds of time or place. Even if my eyes cannot see him, every frown and smile of his is vividly clear in my mind, enduring and ever fresh.
I couldn't care less about him! Is it possible for someone like Ruiqing, who is carefree and smiles every day, to have bad times? I don't believe it!
I have arrived, I will leave first, goodbye
Aren't you the one who enjoys tragic endings the most? It should be to your taste! I joked.
Your expression is truly adorable!" Ruiqing continued to speak obliviously, and I thought that if my eyes could shoot fire, he would already be a whole Quanjude roast duck
After speaking, he crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me with an expression of someone who was enjoying a show. I thought that if I had a book or a brick in my hand, I would undoubtedly smash it on his head.
I squeezed and squeezed, feeling as if I was about to be flattened into a piece of paper. Just a second before the subway doors closed, I successfully squeezed my way out.
I cover my chest, it is so beautiful, so handsome, so gentle, so perfect! How can there be such a perfect person in this world? How can I only watch from afar after encountering my dream perfect honey?
Seeing her like this, for the first time I felt that blushing is a very embarrassing thing
Would Dune accept such a straightforward confession? I ran too hurriedly in the morning and did not find out how he ultimately responded to that girl.
"Alas, Ruya classmate..." Just moments ago, Ruiqing, who had been full of spirit while taking a photo of me, suddenly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, her smiling face contorting into a frown, her thick brows knitting together as she looked at me with a pitiful expression
The sudden sound left me stunned in place; this unpleasant voice belonged to Ruiqing
I just want to shut his mouth now
If this were a scene from a comic, you would surely see the black lines all over my head and the crow flying above me
Ruiqing gave me a meaningful glance, then laughed heartily and turned to walk ahead. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he did not see; if this big mouth found out that I had a crush on Dungeyuan, I would be finished
And I am still in a daze, was he just concerned about me? Tsuruga Haru was concerned about Ge Ruya! I feel so happy that I could float away, hahaha
On this subway, which can be described as a mix of fish and dragons, this person surprisingly appears as clean as if standing in another world, completely untainted by the murky atmosphere here
I took out my phone, and on the screen, the words "Tsuruga Origin" were flashing prominently, while the image of him listening to music with his head down was also flickering along with those three characters
Whenever I think of the embarrassing way I acted the last time I was following him, my face turns even redder. I quickly found a corner where he couldn't see me to hide myself, and then I stealthily poked my head out to watch him.
I have been absent-minded all day today, and even when I am with my best friend, Xiaoyi, I find it very uninteresting. My mind is constantly occupied with the question of whether or not to confess my feelings to Dunge Yuan.
What is going on?
As I was lost in thought while walking on the way to school, a voice, sweet to the point of being cloying, suddenly reached my ears
This was the first time he looked at me directly, his amber eyes shimmering with an inscrutable light, and the familiar faint smile still lingered at the corners of his mouth. However, this time, it was not the gentle warmth of the first encounter, nor the helplessness of the second, but rather a palpable sense of determination and seriousness. Even so, I still found him very handsome
What are you looking at me for? I am not Wangzai Milk
It turns out that a boy can look so handsome when he smiles
He wouldn't really be ill, would he
I stood frozen in place, my body stiff, desperately wanting to see the reaction of Dung Huayuan, but what I saw was his smiling face, and in an instant, my mind exploded with a loud "bang".
Alright. He stood up and smiled gently at me, saying, "This way, you won't trip."
"Who just farted?" the language teacher asked with a serious expression
I reached out and rubbed my eyes, and when I opened them again, the person in front of me was still standing there, looking at me gently.
He is really perfect, even his walking is so graceful, with a slender figure, an upright posture, and that gentle smile...
What should I do? I'm stuck in the middle of the crowd and can't move at all. What should I do now? Should I shout out? Will I be considered crazy if I shout out loudly? I'm so anxious that I'm about to cry.
Hmm? What is he saying? Worried? Is Dunhe really expressing his concern for me on hetushucomcom? Is it really true?
What?
My heart quickly surged with anger, and I couldn't calm down no matter what. This is outrageous! How could someone confess their feelings to Dunhe Yuan in front of me? Why did someone confess to Dunhe Yuan before me?
How can this be? Tsunoga is clearly the person I like, this is too much
"Ruya, don't be afraid, I'm here." Ruiqing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curved into his characteristic smile, "Ruya, do you think we should take him to the police station?"
I looked up and saw Ruiqing, dressed in the Saint Ying Academy uniform, with one hand in his pocket and the other fiddling with my phone, wearing his usual teasing expression
"Alright, I understand. It is not your fault that this happened. Since you have already apologized, let's just let it go. Please take a seat," said the teacher as he opened the textbook. "Alright, class, please turn to page 6..."
Of course, it is impossible for her to know about these mental activities of mine. I stretched and yawned, then started packing my backpack. I feel particularly tired today, more tired than I have been in the past decade. Various emotions have made my mind a mess. I even almost smashed the iPhone 4S that I begged my mom to buy for me in a fit of anger. Sigh, when I think about it, my anger is unreasonable. Boys like Dunhe Yuan, who are like princes, are naturally charming. There should be quite a few girls like me who secretly like him.

I secretly think, if there really were a prince in this world, he should be like this. What prince, what fairy tale, could you please show a little restraint to my tender heart
Jia never managed to be with Yi in the end, but chose to leave. Yi ended up with Bing, but he was not happy at all because he realized after Jia left that he truly loved Jia. Oh... what a sad ending!
On the other hand, wearing a school uniform, Dunhe Yuanzheng grabbed the man's wrist. His well-defined face showed a very calm expression, with a hint of irresistible determination.
I wondered why I did not see the shattered remains of the phone; it turned out he had caught it.
It is not right to litter everywhere. What if it hits a child? Even if it doesn't hit a child, it's still not good for the plants and flowers.
As I was sulking with my head down, a pair of pristine white sneakers suddenly came into my view. I abruptly lifted my head and saw a pair of eyes filled with laughter, along with the familiar gentle expression on that handsome face.
He didn't mind being dumped by me, just pursed his lips and looked at me with a mysterious expression. Ruiqing is such a person, always smiling like a carefree child, but his eyes are like a deep pool of water—able to see everything on the surface, but never the hidden currents underneath. So sometimes I really don't know if he's unfathomable or carefree. Although I've known him for many years, I have no idea what's on his mind.
"Ah? Yes, what's up?" I realized and looked at my shouting grandmother with some confusion. How did she know that I am a student of St. English Academy? Is this seemingly honest grandmother a spy from the academic affairs office? Has she already alerted the academic affairs office? Did I show my crush so obviously?"
Xiaoyi, I didn't fart, it was just now...
Ruiqing's broad back blocked Dunhe Yuan's gaze and also blocked my awkwardness and shyness. I hid behind him as if I had suddenly found a lifesaving straw. Because I really didn't want Dunhe Yuan to see me now. Although I am not as perfect as Dunhe Yuan, at least I cannot make a fool of myself in front of the person I like.
At this moment, the arm that had been holding onto my shoulder suddenly moved, and only then did I realize that I was still being embraced by someone. I struggled a bit, lifted my head, and met the dark eyes of Ruiqing.
No, it's just that I can't be bothered to deal with him.
Song Yu, don't be afraid, I'm here. A gentle voice softly entered my ears, very light, yet it made me feel very reassured.
I didn't expect him to come and help me. The first time, he helped me tie my shoelaces, and this time he helped me resolve the situation. He is truly a very gentle person. He clearly doesn't know me, yet he still helped me out. I am truly touched.
What do you want me to do?
Ge Ru Ya, I want to remind you that you are going in the wrong direction, haha... Just as I was sighing to the sky, Ruiqing's voice came from behind me, and that laughter was even more piercing than an air raid siren.
Because of the appearance of one person, my life has become extraordinary.
About three meters away from me, diagonally opposite, a girl is holding a pink envelope with both hands raised, her eyes sparkling with hearts as she gazes at Dung Huayuan. The girl's face is flushed, and she bites her lip, feeling incredibly shy
Could this be an illusion?
Knowing full well that he cannot see me, I still unconsciously touched my face. How hot it is! I can't believe I still blush. It's been over a month, yet every time I glance at him, my face turns as red as a tomato. Is this what they call unrequited love? I truly am hopeless. Oh, Ge Ruya, you have lived for so many years, yet how can you lack even this little bit of composure?
What does it feel like to be confessed to? I reached out and touched my own face, and just thinking about it made me feel particularly defeated. Why is it that no one has confessed to me?
I was left speechless by him, yet he leisurely said: "If starting tomorrow, our lovely song, like classmate Ya, makes me lunch every day, my illness will surely heal itself!"
Dunhua Yuan, I like you
"That's good," Dunhe Yuan said gently.
During this period, Ruiqing sent me two notes, which I returned without even looking at them. I am not in the mood to deal with him now
Time seems to have frozen at this very second, even the pale purple sand in the hourglass has come to a standstill, leaving only the sound of my heartbeat. In this moment, Dunjia Yuan slightly lowered his head to look at me, and the instant our eyes met, I felt as if my soul had been drawn away.
Ah! My head hurts so much! Boohoo... Ruya, please accompany me to the hospital." He leaned over again, placing his hand on my shoulder, but this time he only rested it there briefly before withdrawing it.
"I do not dare to intervene, but the police can." The voice of Dunsuke Hara was not loud, yet it remained calm, even gentle. However, for some reason, everyone present was captivated by his voice, including the man who was still struggling.
I grit my teeth and charge forward
Ruiqing beside me no longer chatted aimlessly, and I found myself staring blankly at everything in front of me. How did I end up here again? Wasn't I supposed to take Ruiqing to the hospital for a check-up? Isn't taking Line 2 to the hospital a long detour? Yet, I still habitually walked to this place. Alas, it seems I am truly beyond help.
There are so many people around, pushing and shoving, and on such a hot day, I can occasionally catch a whiff of unpleasant odors. Fortunately, I am not a fussy person; otherwise, I would be utterly miserable. My mother says that my greatest strength is my ability to adapt to circumstances, remaining unperturbed even when the sky falls. It is precisely this character that prevents me from ever feeling hopeless, because life must go on, mustn't it
Ah? Is school over? I looked around in surprise and indeed, there were hardly any people left in the classroom
I have already apologized to her, do you want me to kneel down now and rub her feet? It is clearly a trivial matter, and I did not actually hurt her.
After getting on the subway, I was lost in thought, immersed in my own world of fantasies, and did not check on Ruiqing's situation. This time period coincides with the peak hours of school and work dismissals, and the people on the subway were packed like sardines in a can
I like you
Today, Dunhua Yuan wore a gray Adidas tracksuit, the latest style for this spring. The understated and comfortable design suited him perfectly. The delicate white earbuds nestled in his ears, and his sharply defined features gave him an air of nobility, especially with his long eyelashes casting a fan-shaped shadow on his eyelids, making him look incredibly handsome
What nonsense, it is clearly the sound of the chair being dragged. I stood up with a face full of indignation, my expression more bitter than if I had eaten a bitter herb: "Teacher, I am sorry..."
Currently, my tracking career has reached over a month and will continue. I wait early at the subway station every day, then follow the target person to take Line 2 to go home from school. This tracking has become a habit of mine, and this challenging and great task adds a special joy to my daily study life.
Dunhe Yuan.
The arrogant cursing of that man attracted the attention of countless people. People on the subway started to discuss it one after another. However, the man was completely oblivious and continued to curse as if no one else was around.
I avoided Ruiqing's gaze and lowered my head to squeeze out of the subway.
Thinking like this, unconsciously my footsteps also became brisk, but just as I walked out of the school gate...
What? I was stunned. Sick? No way! If the energetic Ruiqing falls ill, it would be as shocking as Bill Gates going bankrupt. Such explosive news!
I don't think she did it on purpose.A gentle voice sounded, and upon hearing it, I quickly looked up to see a gentle smile, slightly pursed lips, and a sharply defined face. If it's not Dunhe Yuan, then who could it be?
I looked at him, completely forgetting to respond, only knowing to smile foolishly at him. I didn't even hear his words "We've arrived," just staring at a certain place and laughing foolishly.
I know, haha... I know it wasn't you farting, but... haha... Xiaoyi laughed so hard that she couldn't even complete a sentence.
Who dares to provoke our lovely classmate Gorusiya? Who has such audacity? He said with a playful expression, why do words of concern become twisted when they reach his mouth?
Just as I was thinking, the subway had already arrived at the station. After Ruiqing and I got on, we found that there were no seats, so we stood by the door and stared blankly.
However... However, if A had confessed to B earlier, they could have been together. Why didn't they say it? Clearly, they liked each other so much, but didn't say anything, so of course he didn't know! Some things must be said out loud, otherwise it's too much of a pity. Missing out on it is missing out on it for a lifetime! Xiaoyi said indignantly, "If I like someone, I will definitely tell him right away. I would rather be rejected than be in this ambiguous state."
The phone rang at an inappropriate time, and the familiar ringtone completely ignited the suppressed anger in me. At that time, it was just because of Dunyuan He that I changed this ringtone, to remind myself to wait for him on the Line 2 subway. Although I could only watch him from a distance on the subway every time, at that time I was happy, joyful, and full of hope, instead of being filled with anger and jealousy like now.
I suddenly lifted my head and looked at the red arrival indicator light. Tears were almost streaming down my face. Why is it like this again? I glanced at the previous position of Dunhe Yuan Station - he had already left! Oh my God, please give me a pair of wings, even if they are as small as bees!
No, it's okay. I'm fine.I secretly glanced at Dunhe Yuan Yi and struggled to say these words while biting my lip. Why can't I say a complete sentence every time I face him? I really want to cry.
Oh no, as soon as I see his eyes, I can't speak. I can't even say a complete sentence now.
Don't mention it. Be more careful next time. After saying that, he had already walked out of the subway.
My name is Ge Ruya. I am a student in Class 1 of the second year at Sheng Ying Academy. Like many students, I live a routine life between school and home every day. I have good friends at school and loving parents at home. My grades and social skills are decent, and my appearance is average, so overall, I'm doing okay.
Ruiqing certainly wouldn't listen to me and let go of my hand, so I had to forcefully shake him off. There were a lot of people at the school gate after school, and I didn't want anyone to see any connection between me and this guy.
Yes, what are you thinking about alone? I can see that you are absent-minded.
I don't know why, but when I look into Ruiqing's eyes, I feel a little guilty. So, I can only pretend to be gentle and considerate to hide my guilt.
I forced a laugh twice, there's no other way, at this moment I can only put on a brave face and pretend to be relaxed: "Hehe, well... I just wanted to say, thank you."
I don't know why, I don't have the courage to say his name, even in front of my best friend, I still can't say it. Is it because I lack confidence? Not really, I just feel embarrassed.
But speaking of which, would Dunge Yuan accept such a confession? ... Would he accept that girl, or ... ... I unconsciously took out my phone, and a familiar figure appeared on the large screen. Looking at the handsome prince on the screen, my heart was still filled with hope. Perhaps he hasn't accepted that girl yet; as long as he doesn't have a girlfriend, I still have a chance
Just like now, the ordinary me in a school uniform is walking on the way to school, yet doing something rather extraordinary—stalking.
I gasped; he wouldn't have discovered that I was following him, would he, and come to confront me about it?
I looked at the handsome figure in sportswear ahead of me, and a warm sense of happiness surged within my heart
Give it back to me! After I realized what was happening, I immediately rushed over and snatched the phone away. Then, I glared at the boy across from me who was grinning mischievously, and quickly pressed the power button. What a joke, that phone had photos of Dunsuke Hara on it. Although they were taken secretly, if that malicious guy found out, the consequences would be unimaginable
"Hey, why are you like this?" After Xiaoyi mumbled this, she ignored me and continued to engross herself in the novel in her hands
I awkwardly straightened my body, discreetly leaving Ruiqing's embrace, my eyes fixed on the ground, not daring to look up. I felt several gazes upon me, and suddenly I experienced a sense of guilt as if I had been caught doing something wrong, yet I was unsure of what I felt guilty about.
Is it true that what is missed may be a lifetime?
Disturbing someone's daydream will be struck by lightning. This killjoy guy, Ruiqing, deserves to be split in half... Huh...? Is it too unkind to curse someone who just saved me like this? With this thought, my sense of guilt suddenly arose, so I had to flatter and ask with a smile: "Um... Is your head still hurting? Do you have a fever?"
