Chapter 5

"Do you choose truth or dare?" a boy next to him asked

"This brand is unknown, how do you manage to appeal to women?"

I looked into Dunga Yuan's eyes and said earnestly: "I am not angry, although I was indeed a little concerned at that time, but I am not angry with you!"

Why is she here as well? I suddenly felt uneasy, and the scene from that day resurfaced in my mind. I secretly glanced at Dung Huayuan beside me; he said nothing and did not look at Xin Xin, merely淡淡地 instructed, "Let's start serving the dishes."

Who made her sit there without moving, haha

Men and women dressed in formal attire passed by me, and the disdain in their eyes was evident

Why is no one responding? What has happened to Ruiqing? I am almost worried to death; why hasn't he called me if something is wrong? It's outrageous that he has Xiaoyi relay messages to me. Is it fun to make me worry? It's just a couple of arguments; how serious can it be? Yet he resorts to indirect tactics to deal with me.

Just as I stopped to wait for him, a voice interjected: "He Yuan!" Now, I know without turning around that this voice belongs to Xin Xin.

After leaving my ID card and student card at the security office, I finally entered this luxurious community that seems unfit for human habitation, and now I am pounding on their door with my fist.

Although the server maintained a well-trained smile on their face, it could not conceal the disdain in their eyes

"Wait, Ya. " A hurried footstep followed closely behind, and I knew it was him. Did he come after me? He still cares about me, doesn't he?

My heart suddenly sank as he said he has someone he likes, really? ... What about my confession ...

I clearly heard Ruiqing behind me mutter a curse under his breath, and then I heard him say in what he considered to be a pleasant and cute voice: "Hello, dear school hunk from the neighboring school, and last year's 'Best Shooter,' Classmate Dung Huagen."

"Please share your feelings." Ruiqing's voice, tinged with sadness, echoed once more

After everything was tidied up, I smiled at the mirror, put on that beautiful invitation, and set off on my journey of confession

The dishes were served quickly, each one exquisitely presented, making my mouth water just by looking at them. Sitting next to Dung Hu, I certainly did not dare to drool so openly; I could only discreetly swallow my saliva in places where no one would notice.

Hahaha

"The unscrupulous merchant!" A voice filled with pain and helplessness came from behind Ruiqing

"Shede, are you awake?" A timeless big smile appeared in front of me as Ruiqing shoved the cup he was holding into my hands. "Hurry up and wash up, you lazy pig. Do you know you're going to be late?"

Ah? I scratched my head and looked at him, thought for a moment and said, "I don't know, everyone's feelings are different. You ask me this, and I don't know how to answer."

"Ruiqing, you scoundrel!" My furious shout in the community startled the two little birds perched on the tree, causing them to take flight.

Did I wear the wrong clothes

"What a joke, you clearly look sick. Let me tell you..." I placed one hand on my hip and pointed at Ruiqing, but suddenly heard a loud crash. The tall boy in front of me suddenly fell towards me, and I instinctively reached out to support him.

Ah? I didn't say anything. I feel perplexed; when did he wake up? I really didn't say anything, I wasn't making noise, was I? Why are you being so harsh with me?

Oh my! The shell of this lobster is so hard, can I use my hands? I looked at the others with a sorrowful face, each of them skillfully using their knives and forks to crack open the lobster shell, savoring the delicious lobster meat inside. I swallowed hard, wishing I could also enjoy the lobster meat!

Where is it? Clearly, it looks like a fool

Could you please sit right next to me? I don't know how long we have walked, he stopped, elegantly pulled out a chair, and smiled at me. It was only then that I realized we had entered a private room.

Haha, how amusing!

My vision is blurred, and my ears are filled with mocking laughter; I am in such a wretched state, a level of wretchedness I have never experienced in all these years

"You are here." Ruiqing, leaning against the door, said softly with his head down. His voice was very low and somewhat hoarse. His usually neat and clean short hair was now disheveled, and his pajamas hung loosely on him, making him appear quite emaciated

Oh. I responded blankly and then sat down heavily in the chair

However, reality is nothing like the beauty I had imagined. Next to me, Dung Hu is chatting and laughing with everyone, while I do not even know what the girl beside me is talking about. The topics they discuss are beyond my reach; they are either about designer fashion or games and sports, all of which are things I do not understand. I mustered the courage to ask the girl in the light green strapless evening gown what Estée Lauder is, only to receive a disdainful glance in response.

I pushed the door open and leaned in front of him, looking left and right, but I couldn't find any problem at all. Only then did I slap him on the head and say: "Ruiqing, you scoundrel, are you trying to scare me to death! Just now, Xiaoyi told me..."

I sat there awkwardly, unsure of what to do, when a remark from Xin Xin drew everyone's attention to me. I anxiously glanced at everyone around the dining table, and I could see disdain reflected in each person's eyes. Some even sneered at me while whispering to the person next to them. I suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to cry; after all, I had done nothing wrong. Why were they so brazenly mocking me over a piece of clothing?

Haha, yes, it's surprising that she can pull it off. What a fresh look, but to me, it just seems rather rustic. Someone nearby let out a laugh.

I sat alone on a chair, watching everyone play and make noise. No one smeared cake on me, and I did not throw cake at anyone else. Perhaps this place really is not suitable for me; I cannot integrate into their world, just as they cannot understand why I do not know what Estée Lauder is. I looked at the Gundam model in my hand that I had not yet given away and let out a soft sigh; perhaps I should not have come today.

The location of the hotel is not difficult to find, as it is a well-known hotel in the city. I simply told the taxi driver the name, and he took me to my destination. After getting out of the car, I let out a deep sigh. I had initially thought that the gold-embossed invitation in my hand looked overly extravagant, but upon entering the hotel lobby, I realized that such opulence was nothing in comparison. The lobby on the first floor is decorated like a palace, and compared to my plain and simple attire, even the hotel staff are dressed more elegantly and appropriately than I am.

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is already Saturday. These past few days, I have been in a dilemma, hoping that time would pass more quickly so that I could see Yoshihara and celebrate his birthday together. However, as I watch the days go by, I also wish that time would slow down, because I am afraid of being rejected. I fear that after confessing my feelings, I might not even be able to remain friends with Yoshihara.

"Oh, who did I think it was? It turns out to be her." A sharp voice suddenly reached my ears, and I abruptly raised my head, meeting Xin Xin's venomous gaze.

Let us play a cake battle!" Someone suddenly suggested, and immediately, people began to take action. The originally tidy and clean private room was thrown into chaos, with the sounds of chasing and playful scuffles echoing everywhere. As the birthday celebrant,敦贺原 was particularly "cared for," being pushed into a corner by the crowd.

Suddenly, a large lobster appeared in the originally empty plate, and I felt a surge of joy in my heart. From beside me, the gentle voice of Dunhua came: "If there is anything else you like to eat, just tell me, don't just look at it."

What? Like her..." Dunghe Yuan's previously calm voice suddenly trembled a bit, and I could hear a hint of urgency in it

If you do not tell him, he will never know

That is another matter, and I choose not to answer it He continued to smile lightly and calmly

I was so moved that I was on the verge of tears. Looking at Dunhua Yuan, I nodded and said: "Thank you."

Ah? Is he angry with him? I was taken aback for a moment and looked up at him

The night has grown deep, and I sit alone on the floor of Ruqing's home, with my left hand tightly held by the patient on the bed, while my right hand occasionally changes the ice pack for the patient. Alas, I feel that I could earn the title of "the kindest person in the world." Being ill is not such a bad thing; how fortunate it is to be cared for by someone as gentle and kind as I am.

"Alright, let's play Truth or Dare!" Xin Xin ignored Dunge Yuan's words, instead casting me a subtle glare before walking over to Dunge Yuan, taking his arm and saying in a flattering tone.

With this thought in mind, I stood there and began to smile foolishly

Ruiqing, open the door! Open the door!

"You should eat this," said Dunga Yuan beside me, placing a plate of prepared shrimp in front of me, and gently added, "If you want to eat lobster, I can help you shell it, okay?"

Well... I lowered my head and pondered for a moment, then said, "A clear blue sky without a cloud in sight"

I do not know why, but I am certain that Yoshihara will believe me. Although I do not know the reason, one must trust a woman's intuition. According to Xiao Yi, a woman's intuition is indeed very accurate.

"Still sleeping? The sun is already shining on your backside, get up, hurry up!" A devilish voice rang out.

"Miss, you have taken a wrong turn," a waiter dressed in a British uniform politely said as he stopped me

I still remember when Ruiqing had just moved here, I sarcastically said to him, "Oh, you really are a wealthy person!" At that time, he was so angered by my words that his face puffed up.

I took an ice pack out of the refrigerator, wrapped it in a towel, and gently placed it on his head. At that moment, I realized that Ruiqing's home was surprisingly messy; the curtains in the living room had been torn down, clothes were strewn everywhere, and there were many instant noodle boxes on the floor. This was very different from my impression of his home, which had always been spotless and orderly. When did it become like this? ... Just as I was lost in thought ... this was very different from my impression of his home, which had always been spotless and orderly. When did it become like this? ... Just as I was lost in thought ...

Wow! Who is this person? Hurry up and tell me!" Someone quickly asked.

The only person I seem to recognize among those sitting around is Yoshihara Haruka; I sit there quietly, not daring to speak or look up.

Standing at the entrance of the VIP section is of no use; with her status, she cannot enter through this door

Ruiqing did not look at me, but instead, with her backpack on, gazed into the distance and said: "Someone just said they would treat me to a meal. Can I choose the most expensive and luxurious five-star restaurant, Master Andre's, for French lobster..."

"Ruya, why are you daydreaming again?" The gentle voice of Dunhe Yuan reached my ears, and only then did I realize that I had unknowingly become the center of attention. Looking again at the beer bottle in the middle, the mouth of the bottle was pointed at me. It was my turn, it was really my turn. I gritted my teeth and decided to speak, to explain what needed to be explained, to say what needed to be said. Even if I were to be rejected, I would have no regrets.

I just feel that I am so happy today that I seem to be glowing. I looked up at the sky, the blue sky and white clouds, two pure colors hanging in the sky, like a sapphire symbolizing love, also representing my current mood. If the Earth had no gravity, I might really fly up, holding the box containing the Gundam model and flying in front of him. Just thinking about this excites me.

Just now, when I got out of the taxi, I was only focused on taking the Gundam model, and the invitation was left in the car

Dunhua smiled and said, "Why not talk to the person next to you? It's not fun to just eat all the time, right?" He gently ruffled my bangs and added, "Seeing you sitting there quietly, only focused on eating, makes me feel like I haven't fulfilled my host's duty."

The subway rushes quickly, my beloved is a bit tired, I am a little drunk

Xiao Yi's words echoed in my ears. Indeed, if I do not speak, he will never know. However, by telling him, I still hold a glimmer of hope, do I not? Love is something that must be grasped by oneself

What did the party say? I raised my head and looked towards Ruiqing, only to see his eyes fixed behind me. As I turned around, I saw Dunheyuan walking together with Xin Xin

There is no such thing! I suddenly exclaimed loudly, and everyone around turned to look at me, but I could no longer care about that.

Hmph! So what if I am not successful? I am happy to be unaccomplished for the person I like! I completely ignored Xiaoyi's disdain and continued to laugh foolishly.

"Open the door, hurry up!" The motion-sensor light in the hallway flickered in response to my voice, yet I continued to knock on the door incessantly, my phone never ceasing as I kept dialing Ruiqing's number.

"Stop knocking, I'm here." It is unclear how much time has passed, but finally, the voice of Ruiqing can be heard from inside the room, sounding lazy and relaxed, as if just waking up.

With this thought in mind, I took out a white pleated skirt from my wardrobe, the kind with delicate lace trim, which looked fresh and simple. I carefully arranged each pleat on the hem of the skirt, as if I were tidying up my own chaotic thoughts. It turns out that liking someone is indeed, as Xiaoyi said, a bittersweet yet very happy experience. My heart is filled with that person, and nothing else remains. It turns out that liking someone is indeed, as Xiaoyi said, a bittersweet yet very happy experience. My heart is filled with that person, and nothing else remains

Ah? I was a bit taken aback, and by the time I came to my senses, Ruiqing had already run quite far away. That rascal! I had just thought he was genuinely sad.

Moreover, the problem is that I cannot seek help from the nearby敦贺原. ... Woe is me ... . ... I suppose I will just bury myself in food, but even if I do, there are still those who will not let me be.

What? Something happened to Ruiqing? I suddenly became anxious and forgot to feel sad: "Xiaoyi, you help me keep Ruiqing calm, I will go over right away." After saying that, I quickly changed my clothes and ran towards Ruiqing's home.

"Truth be told." He continued to smile gracefully, his lips slightly curled, looking extremely handsome, and I was almost mesmerized.

Today, Xin Xin is dressed particularly elegantly; her beautiful white silk evening gown clearly indicates a hefty price tag. Her hair is styled into a neat princess updo. If she hadn't uttered such sharp words, she would truly resemble a princess who has stepped out of an oil painting.

What is the problem

I lowered my head and looked at the Gundam model in my hand that I had not yet given away, it's alright, I told myself, I can give it to him later, after all, the birthday party is still a long way off

Just as I was lowering my head there, regretting that I should not have doubted my good friend, I suddenly heard Ruiqing let out a light laugh. I was taken aback, thinking he was going to blame me, but instead, I heard him say: "If you want to know the truth, why not just ask the person involved"

I looked at Dunhua Yuan with deep emotion, nodding repeatedly and saying: "Hmm!"

It is all the fault of that scoundrel Ruiqing, who casually says that I am so sad I want to jump off a building. Is my singing really that fragile?

All my words are stuck in my throat, unable to make any sound, and my eyes are beginning to feel sore. My hands, holding the Gundam model, are trembling from nervousness. At that moment, a heavenly voice rang out.

Dad, Mom, please stop arguing

"That won't happen." Upon hearing Xiaoyi say this, I stopped my silly laughter and turned to look at her seriously, "Dunhe is not such an unreasonable person. As long as I explain it clearly to him, he will definitely believe me."

Hehe! Ruiqing's eyes suddenly brightened, and he smiled at me, saying, "I am so happy"

After I asked, I blushed. I am not very confident about my appearance, and over the years, no one has complimented my looks. The most common thing I hear is, "Ruya, you look just like your mother." This is probably the greatest compliment I have received. It is said that my mother was once a very beautiful woman, and of course, she still is. My mother will always be the most beautiful woman in my heart

Oh dear! Xin Xin covered her mouth with both hands and looked at me, apologetically saying, "If it’s not a brand, then I don’t want it. Clothes without a brand guarantee may be of poor quality, like those sold at street stalls."

Like Asia

When I returned home in the evening, both my father and mother were asleep. I took my clothes to take a shower and accidentally bumped into the injury on my back. The combination of heartache and physical pain caused my tears to fall immediately.

My head was suddenly struck hard by someone, and I covered the painful spot, glaring at Ruiqing: "It hurts a lot!"

"Yes, indeed," Ruiqing replied lazily. "You know Ge Ruya, right? He's a fool from our class. Because of certain events that happened last night, he's so upset that he didn't even come to school, and he's been shouting about jumping off a building and whatnot"

"Miss, we have regulations in place. Please go downstairs if you do not have an invitation. The upper floor is the VIP area and is not open for casual entry."

I, I left the invitation in the taxi. My voice grew softer and softer, until it became so faint that I could hardly hear what I was saying.

"Hmm, understood," the boy beside me replied softly, then lowered his head to look at me, gently ruffling my hair. "You have a very cute hairstyle. Let's go in, follow me, and don't be nervous."

Xin Xin, your aim is truly precise

Ruiqing's home is not far; I arrived in just over ten minutes. The architecture is reminiscent of European styles, with tall French sycamores and a white American-style park pavilion, all exuding an air of grandeur. When I stood, panting, at the entrance of the security room of "Jinxiu Jiayuan" and said I wanted to enter, the security guard looked at me as if he had seen a ghost. It is understandable, as this is the most luxurious community in the city center, and those who live here are either wealthy or of high status. It is indeed quite strange for a girl like me, dressed plainly with messy hair, to appear at the community entrance in the middle of the night.

Do not rush. "Ruiqing seems to have seen my message," her voice carried a hint of sulkiness, "she won't jump off the building for now, as long as you answer me one question."

"Ge Ru Ya." A sharp voice rang out, and I looked up to see Xin Xin, who was smiling at me with a warm expression. I was puzzled, but then I heard her say, "What brand of clothes are you wearing? It feels very refreshing. Please tell us so we can try it too."

Hello, it's your turn! I'm talking about you, why aren't you responding

I quietly followed behind him, not knowing why his words seemed to have sedated me, as I truly felt no anxiety. In this resplendent hall, surrounded by many heavily made-up girls, I surprisingly felt at ease, and my previously restless heart had completely calmed down

A young man leaned against the pillar of the pavilion in the community, his face tilted at a 45-degree angle as he gazed up at the sky. Then, swinging the fried dough stick in his hand, he spoke in a particularly sorrowful tone: "Ruya, what color do you think the sky looks like in the eyes of a fat person?"

"Hey, Geruya." Something lightly touched my nose, causing a tickling sensation. I reached out my hand to scratch my face and let out a dissatisfied hum, yet that annoying fellow who had touched my nose continued to disturb my sleep without a care in the world

I rubbed my eyes and found that Ruiqing on the sofa had not woken up. His brows were tightly furrowed, his face pale, and his lips slightly trembling. I do not know why, but seeing Ruiqing like this made me feel an inexplicable heartache, as if his usual happy demeanor was merely a facade, and this fragile and powerless version of him was the true reality. How could I have such a strange thought? It is truly bizarre; even in his sleep, he does not forget to scare me with his mumblings.

"This area is the VIP section, while the regular seating is downstairs," the waiter explained

I truly, really... ...

He smiled faintly and then uttered a single word: "Yes"

I styled my hair into a cute bun and specifically wore the Swarovski crystal necklace that my mother gave me for my birthday last year, then I looked in the mirror again and again

However, no matter how I think about it, time has still marched on to this day at its own pace. On this day, I woke up early, opened the window, and inhaled the fresh fragrance of flowers outside; my mood was exceptionally good. Looking at the clear blue sky outside, I felt that this must be a good omen, indicating that my confession today would be successful

I did not go to buy those beautiful dresses. Firstly, I cannot afford them; secondly, I believe I am just a simple girl who cries, laughs, and gets angry, who is willing to make sacrifices for the person she likes. If I were to attend an event dressed like a princess and tell Dunge Yuan that I like him, then even if he accepted it, he would only be accepting my appearance and not the real me. I am Ge Ruya, an ordinary girl who lives seriously and likes him very much, not a princess in a gorgeous dance dress. I am not that now, nor will I ever be. I am just me. Telling Dunge Yuan that I like him means that even if he accepts it, he would only be accepting my appearance and not the real me. I am Ge Ruya, an ordinary girl who lives seriously and likes him very much, not a princess in a gorgeous dance dress. I am not that now, nor will I ever be. I am just me.

I choose ... ...

"You have arrived," he said with a smile, a smile as beautiful yet unreal as the sunlight in March

"The last time at KTV..." He seemed a bit embarrassed, a faint blush appearing on his fair face, yet his gaze remained gentle. "I didn't get a chance to say goodbye before leaving, and I was worried you might be upset. Moreover, the next day I ran into your classmate, who said you..."

"It's so heavy!" This was the only sentence I uttered before being crushed by his falling body. I never expected that the seemingly slender Ruiqing would be so heavy.

Oh. The expression of敦贺原明显 showed a moment of daze, but he quickly regained his previous smile. He looked at me with some relief, saying, "You are no longer nervous, that's great"

I do not know whether I should turn around and run, so as to avoid him seeing my panicked expression, or directly rush up to explain yesterday's misunderstanding. In the end, what I did was—

Her voice was sweetly dripping with emotion: "He Yuan, I like you. I told you the first time we met that I liked you, and I have always liked you. Can you accept me?"

I smiled as I lowered my head to eat the lobster, only to discover that

He neither answered nor declined, and time seemed to stand still at that moment, with silence enveloping the surroundings

"Don't go, I beg you, don't go, don't..." His nightmare seemed to continue, those nightmares that entangled him were like an uncontrollable beast tearing at him

I left here without looking back, as everything here never belonged to me; it was my foolishness that led me to such a miserable state

I have been in a state of excitement all day, even ignoring Xiaoyi when she spoke to me. Ruiqing directly rolled her eyes at me, but I completely disregarded it, because today I am going to buy back my Gundam model!

I turned around and looked carefully at my surroundings; the disordered furniture and clothes resembled the aftermath of a quarrel. Did his parents have a fight? No way, Ruiqing's family has always been harmonious.

"Don't say I'm pouring cold water on you, but what about the misunderstanding you had with him yesterday? He wouldn't think of you as that kind of girl, would he? Such misunderstandings can be quite awkward" said Xiaoyi

I looked at the Gundam model in my hand, ready to give it to him, when suddenly someone in the hall shouted, "Hey, He Yuan, hurry up and come over! The party is about to start, and our main character is just waiting for you."

Liking someone is a personal matter

Although it seems somewhat ungracious to doubt my friend, I truly want to know who informed Dung Huayuan about my work at KTV. Xiaoyi would certainly not betray me, and the only ones who know about this matter are Xiaoyi and Ruiqing, so I must clarify this matter.

All the way, I was chasing and playfully hitting Ruiqing, and it was only when we were almost at school that I called out to him. Ruiqing stopped and looked at me with a teasing expression, saying: "Hey, if you like me, just say it. I know I am quite charming, but you shouldn't look at me with such a blatant gaze; it makes me shy."

Uh ... ... not talking to me

How ridiculous, it looks like Santa Claus

"Alright, Heyuan, today you are the main character, and we cannot let you off the hook." Someone immediately echoed.

Dad, Mom, please don't argue

Seeing his agonized expression, I instinctively grasped his hand that was extended outside the blanket and said, "Yes, I am here, I won't leave."

The person across from me moved slightly, and it was only then that I noticed the mouth of the wine bottle was currently facing the person opposite me. Dunga Yuan smiled and said, "It seems that being born on this day is destined to be lucky."

His tone was so cheerful that it made me feel that even if he weren't looking at me like this, I would still handle it well. I confidently nodded at him and replied, "Okay"

Not denying is equivalent to admitting; it turns out he has long had someone he likes, and that person is Xin Xin

Tsuruga did not refuse; she merely smiled at everyone, while I stood there holding the gift, my hand, which I had intended to raise, fell weakly down.

This morning, Ruiqing gave me a very different impression; he seems to have become much more composed and somewhat more mature. I do not know what has happened to him recently, but judging by yesterday's situation, it seems that Ruiqing has not been doing well. Alas, it is no wonder; who can remain cheerful all day when there are disputes between their parents at home? Therefore, seeing Ruiqing like this makes me feel quite upset. However, the feeling of sadness for this guy Ruiqing completely vanished after I went downstairs. Alas, it is no wonder; who can remain cheerful all day when there are disputes between their parents at home? Therefore, seeing Ruiqing like this makes me feel quite upset. However, the feeling of sadness for this guy Ruiqing completely vanished after I went downstairs

The morning breeze brushes against my face, lifting my spirits. This morning is truly wonderful; it not only resolved the conflict between Ruiqing and me but also made me realize that Dunjihara actually cares about me. Does this mean that I still hold some significance in Dunjihara's heart?

"Are you okay?" I asked with concern as I looked at him, and the previous unpleasantness I had with him faded away upon seeing the emaciated Ruiqing.

"Why are you asking this?" Ruiqing's voice revealed no emotion, so I had no choice but to lower my head and recount what happened last night.

"Hey, are you okay? Don't play dead!" I gasped for breath and pushed him with my hand, but he remained motionless in my arms. My hand froze as I touched his body; his skin was burning hot, his eyes tightly shut, and even his lips had lost their color.

I do not want to become a laughingstock for others. No matter how foolish or humble I may be, I still have my dignity. Must I be treated this way for the sake of my love? Why do they have to treat me like this? Why?

With him around, I fear nothing

Ah, so that's it. I thought it was something else. Seeing Xin Xin smile at me, I also smiled at her and said, "It's not a particular brand, just something I usually buy at the mall. If you like it, I can take you there."

Is it possible that

Just as I was lost in thought, a sudden gust of wind came rushing towards me. Before I could react, a large piece of cake had already smashed into my face. My vision suddenly became a blur, and as I tried to wipe it away with my hand, it only became more indistinct.

"Haha, it has turned to the birthday star," Xin Xin said sweetly with a smile

That scoundrel Ruiqing is so self-absorbed that he never takes anything seriously, but in a way, this actually puts me at ease. I looked up at him and hesitantly asked, "Let me ask you, have you told Dunhe Yuan about my part-time job at the KTV?"

Just when I was hesitating, several people had already "won the prize". I have no idea what they chose or what they did; I was completely absorbed in my own world.

The phone rang, and I picked up the phone that was placed next to the bathtub. Just as I pressed the answer button, I heard Xiaoyi's loud voice: "Ruya, do you know how to get to Ruiqing's house? Go check on him quickly; he could hardly speak when he called me just now, only saying that he wanted to see you"

I am Ruqing's classmate, the one from Building 1, Unit 4. Indeed, the moment I mentioned Ruqing's name, the security guard's gaze towards me noticeably deepened, clearly thinking of me as one of those girls who, after being heartlessly abandoned by some wealthy young master, came to confront him out of indignation. I really wanted to tell him, "Sir, please don't misunderstand." But I simply did not have the energy to explain it to him right now. Clearly, he took me for one of those girls who, after being heartlessly abandoned by some wealthy young master, came to confront him out of indignation. I really wanted to tell him, "Sir, please don't misunderstand." But I simply did not have the energy to explain it to him right now.

"Look at how happy you are, truly pathetic!" said Xiaoyi beside me with a look of disdain.

Before he could finish his sentence, I kicked him, and he had to swallow the rest of his words. I glared at Ruiqing, who was shouting in pain in front of me, looking down at him and said: "One yuan for a skewer of spicy hot pot, no waiting for the expired, come if you like." After saying that, I ran towards the school

I forced a smile as I tightened my grip on the Gundam model in my hand. I should have understood this long ago, shouldn't I? I should have known from the very first time Xin Xin confessed to him that he already had someone he liked, shouldn't I? Why did I still engage in so many self-deceptive acts? Why did I foolishly think about confessing to him? Why?

"Miss, please come downstairs," the waiter repeated

My originally touched feelings were completely dissipated by Xiaoyi's last words, leaving only my fingers still resting on her plump shoulder, kneading it as I said: "You little brat, would it kill you to say something nice!"

Sing like a hero, charge towards your love!

"Are you worried about me?" Ruiqing raised her head, her face pale as if all color had drained from it. Even her usually bright and spirited eyes appeared to be veiled in a layer of gray, lacking any trace of vitality.

Haha! Dunhua was amused by my expression and placed another plate of already peeled shrimp in front of me, saying, "Take your time eating, I will be quite busy today and may not be able to take care of you well, so please forgive me."

I want to confess my feelings

Stop arguing!" Ruiqing suddenly shouted loudly

My heart feels as if it has fallen into an ice cave, it is so painful. I came here today to confess my feelings, but he already has someone he likes. What should I do?

I do not know how to use a knife and fork at all

I looked at him, momentarily unable to respond. By the time I understood what he meant, my face turned red all at once. I shook my head in denial, but suddenly caught sight of the Gundam model in my hand.

What?

"It doesn't matter, it's good that you came. Are you angry with me for not looking up?" He stood in front of me, and at that moment, with my head nearly bowed to my chest, I could only see his white leather shoes and the cuffs of his trousers above them. His voice was still as gentle and pleasant as ever.

Hello? I stood up from the ground and happily circled around Ruiqing once. Only after confirming that he was fine did I let out a sigh of relief. "It's really good now, so I can rest assured."

"I won't. " I stared wide-eyed at Dunhegen, repeatedly waving my hands, "I am very happy." After thinking for a moment, I felt that saying it this way was also incorrect, so I turned around and solemnly said to Dunhegen, "I will take good care of myself."

"Hey, Heyuan, if you don't leave now, you'll be late. Hurry up and go, and stop talking to strangers here." Xin Xin's sharp voice interrupted my pleasant daydream, and Dun Heyuan, under her interruption, did not reveal who had informed him about my part-time job.

I am going to the VIP area, here is the invitation." Am I really that shabby? Just as I was fuming and preparing to take out the invitation to argue with the waiter, I suddenly found myself dumbfounded.

Xin Xin pulled Dunhe Yuan past Rui Qing, and I did not raise my head to look, but in my heart, I had already forgiven Dunhe Yuan for leaving last night. The trembling voice he had just when he heard I was going to jump off the building, along with his anxious tone, made me feel that he actually cared about me; he had just misunderstood me for a moment. I believe that as long as I explain it clearly to him, he will definitely not blame me.

I opened my eyes in a huff and found myself sitting on the floor of Ruiqing's house. My hands were numb, my feet were numb, and my mind was also numb. Yesterday I...

I see. "Ruiqing said to me with a happy expression, 'So the sky in the eyes of the fat man is blue.'"

"You are really troublesome," I muttered, struggling to help Ruiqing onto the sofa. I gently brushed my hand across his forehead, and indeed, it was frighteningly hot. I shook my head helplessly; how could someone of his age be so ill and not know to take medicine? He truly does not know how to take care of himself

Does not knowing a cosmetics brand mean that one cannot be a girl? What kind of logic is this? I really don't understand

I have truly found that I increasingly like Dune Huayan. He is gentle, considerate, and attentive, always thinking of others, just like now. Even though I haven't said anything, he can tell what I need. I turned my head to look at Dune Huayan, his perfect profile, fair skin, and exquisite features all contribute to the prince-like aura that he exudes. Watching him talk to others nearby, even though he hasn't turned to acknowledge me, I already feel very content in my heart.

Her question immediately captured the attention of everyone present, and each person perked up their ears. Because of how outstanding Yuanta Dunsuke is, everyone was curious about what kind of girl he likes, and I was no exception

After the game venue was set up, everyone quickly took their places in preparation for the game. I was assigned to a corner far away from Dungarvan, which left me feeling even more at a loss.

He did not see me, but I could clearly see that Dunhe Yuan's hand was affectionately linked with Xin Xin's. Dunhe Yuan was smiling and talking to Xin Xin, and the two of them were walking towards Rui Qing and me step by step, while I stood there, my mind blank.

Next time we meet, be sure not to be nervous, Ge Ruya, keep it up

I gently touch my slightly flushed face, hehe, can I be considered a beautiful girl? In fact, the most beautiful thing is never one's appearance, but rather the years of youth. To meet someone I truly like during the most beautiful years of my life, I feel really happy

I widened my eyes and stared at the person across from me, taking in his expression in its entirety. I don't know if it was just my illusion, but I felt as if his gaze swept over me for a moment. Perhaps it was indeed an illusion; how could Dunga possibly look at me at this time? If he were to look at anyone, it would surely be the person he likes.

What should I do? I am afraid to get up and grab that delicious-looking lobster, and I also do not dare to tell Dung Huanyuan that I like that dish, fearing that he will think I am a mindless foodie if he finds out.

Truth or Dare? Is it the kind that often appears in idol dramas? Spinning a bottle, and whoever the mouth of the bottle points to must choose truth or dare. This should be a good opportunity to confess, as it is portrayed in TV dramas. My previously disheartened heart suddenly ignited with new hope; if the bottle points to me, I will confess to Dung Huayan. But I am so nervous! What if I get rejected? However, being rejected is also a result; if I don’t say anything, I will never have a result, right?

However, being rejected is also a result; if I don’t say anything, I will never have a result, right?

The harsh laughter continuously entered my ears, and I suddenly understood what it meant to be utterly ashamed. I was wrong, I was truly wrong, I should not have come. Tears uncontrollably streamed from my eyes as I lowered my head and ran outside

It is truly pitiful

What? I was stunned.

I was startled, rolled my eyes at him, and gave him a slap on the hand. "Nonsense, do you think I'm not worried that you would come over in the middle of the night?"

Truthfully speaking, umm... Xin Xin dragged out her voice and said, "Do you have a girl you like?"

A gentle voice sounded, and the scene suddenly quieted down. The boy next to me stood up, his perfect face still wearing a faint smile. He looked at everyone, then glanced at me before softly saying, "Clothes are just appearances. What truly matters is a person's inner self. There is nothing inappropriate about Ruya's clothes today. Please, let's not discuss it any further, okay?"

Coming here dressed like this, hmph! Truly overestimating oneself.

What a fool, not attending any classes, and talking about jumping off a building? This is a liar who speaks with eyes wide open!

I took a step back and stood behind Ruiqing. Then, with a sudden force, I pushed my good friend in front of Dunhe Yuan and Xinxin. Immediately after, I turned around and faced Dunhe Yuan and the others with my back, lowered my head, and pressed my phone vigorously. Dear Xiaoqingqing, could you please ask Dunhe Yuan who told him that I went to work at KTV? After this matter is resolved, I will be extremely grateful to you and invite you to dinner.

The more I thought about it, the happier I became, and I fell asleep in a daze

What should I do? What am I supposed to do?

It was Dunsuke Gen, whose well-tailored suit, gentle and sincere smile, and the elegant aura he exuded instantly elevated his image in my mind, especially when he stood up to speak for me during my moment of embarrassment, which truly moved me. Unsure of what to say, I lowered my head, contemplating how to express my gratitude, but as my hand unexpectedly brushed against the Gundam model in my arms, a spark of inspiration struck me. I was about to present the model as a gift and a token of thanks to Dunsuke Gen when a voice interrupted me.

Is Dunsuke worried about me? Realizing this, I suddenly felt very happy. I lowered my head and started tapping randomly on my phone: Ruqing, hurry up and get to the point. Don't you know that making Dunsuke worry is quite unethical?

I turned around and indeed saw my prince. Today, he was wearing a relatively formal white suit, which was tailored perfectly, accentuating his tall and slender figure, making him appear even more elegant and heroic. This was the first time I had seen him dressed so formally. If his usual demeanor exuded the qualities of a prince, then at this moment, Yoshiharu was truly a prince, not at all out of place in the golden hall.

I walked forward with trepidation, surrounded by men and women dressed very formally, some even in luxurious evening gowns and expensive-looking suits, which made me, someone who had never attended such an occasion, feel even more out of place. With each step I took, my feet felt heavier, and I began to think about leaving this place. What should I do

Those who disturb my sleep, I have an irreconcilable enmity with you

Finally, I have asked the right question, I stand at attention, ears perked up, listening carefully.

She won't be stunned by you, will she

Hello. The voice of Yoshiharu Tsunuga is still so elegant; even without seeing him in person, one can feel the gentleness. "May I help you with anything?" Look, this is true charm; just listening to his voice can make one fall in love with him.

When I held that hard-earned Gundam model in my arms, I could clearly feel my heartbeat, as if what I was holding was not just a Gundam model, but my entire dream. I secretly resolved that I would explain to him at his birthday party that I am not that kind of girl, and that everything I did was simply because I liked him

This dead Ruiqing, will people die if he doesn't show off? Goosebumps are almost coming out, and I've shot him countless times in my heart.

I was just about to speak when a voice suddenly interrupted me: "Alright, this is getting a bit dull, let's play something else!" As this person spoke, they picked up the bottle of wine from the table, their beautiful eyes coldly sweeping over me. It was Xin Xin again

I stood there awkwardly, unsure of how to explain to him that I truly came with an invitation. The fine sweat on my forehead trickled down my cheek, and even the hand holding the Gundam model was trembling

Who told you that she went to KTV last night?

Am I good-looking? I asked myself softly in front of the mirror.

I, I actually... I have an invitation. I, I...

I sat there struggling, sobbing... I want to eat a big lobster.

If someone always appears when you are in trouble, then that person is your prince, as the book says.

Thinking of the vulnerability he revealed in his sleep last night, I looked at Ruiqing in front of me, hesitating whether to ask about his family matters. I saw him turn around and go out, saying at the entrance while changing his shoes: "I will go downstairs to help you buy breakfast first. Come down when you are done washing up. I will wait for you downstairs."

Annoying, go away, let me sleep a little longer. I groggily said, disturbing someone's sweet dreams will bring down a thunderbolt upon you.

Okay. Although I lack confidence, Xiaoyi still patted my shoulder to encourage me, "I believe you can succeed. Come on, Yaya, don't embarrass me as a love expert."
