Chapter Fourteen: Jasser

  Because the role of the silver-haired boy was a poisonous queen, the drama had already ended in the second-to-last scene, so when I walked backstage with Yasser, I happened to see him change back into his pure white shirt and lean against the dim spotlight, his originally dull eyes lit up for an instant when he saw me, then suddenly went out again...

  "Hmph." He gave me a cold look, turned his head and walked away. Only the pillar he had leaned against showed several deep fingernail marks...

  I've always found it strange, Yasser and the silver-haired kid used to have a good relationship, but now they're so awkward. First, they stopped talking to each other, and now they pretend not to see each other when they meet. I'm embarrassed, could it be that... they developed ambiguous feelings for each other? And now they're too shy to face each other? Ah... what a perfect love between beautiful boys! No wonder he said he liked me because he was jealous of how close Yasser and I were, so he tried to test me with this method. Hehe, I'm really a genius! (Author's note: You're overthinking it...)

  Just as I was about to raise my head and ask Yasser about the recent strange behavior of the silver-haired kid, I didn't know that he was also lowering his head to talk to me. As a result, his lips directly touched my nose... And since I couldn't stop my head from tilting up in time, he also couldn't stop his head from tilting down in time... So... his mouth... just lightly and easily fell onto my mouth...

  Twice!!!! It's already twice!!!!!

  The first thing I did after coming back to my senses was to push Jasper away from me!!!!!!! My lips still had the warmth of his breath, and my face turned a bit pale (author: got kissed by a man twice!!!!!), one hand covering my mouth and the other patting my chest to comfort myself: got bitten by a mosquito, got bitten by a mosquito again!!!!!

  Yashe's face turned red like a crimson, but he still had a good temper and apologized to me: "Sorry... I... didn't think you would look up."

  I waved my hand magnanimously and replied, "No big deal, no big deal. Boys will be boys, and sometimes we get a little rough and tumble. Getting hurt a bit doesn't count for much. (It seems someone attributed this to being injured...) Uh, right, what were you going to say to me just now?"

  Yasser smiled faintly: "Oh, our performance is over, I want to go see my father and mother in the audience, Xiao Cha, you can come with me too?"

  "Oh, okay." I agreed without thinking and followed Yasser to the spectator seats.

  On my way to the audience seat, I met Yayoi who was wearing a sumo wrestler's loincloth and came to greet me. As soon as he saw me, he rushed over and stuck his shiny skin on my forehead: "Little Chaya, Little Chaya! Our class's program is also done, and the champion has been born! He's a very handsome guy, you mustn't fall in love with him just because you danced with him! Little Chaya, Little Chaya......"

  "Are you done yet?" I glared at him: "I didn't say I wanted to join your boring games."

  Yaoyao looked at me with a pained expression, her eyes pitifully shining with tears, as if she were a wronged and injured little dog cowering in some dark corner.

  Looking at him like this, I was both angry and amused. All I had to do was stretch out my hand and stroke his head: "Okay okay, let's not talk about this for now. I'll go with Yasser to the spectator seats, do you want to come along?"

  His eyes lit up suddenly: "Great, great, Little Tea wants to go to the audience seat to watch other performances?"

  "No, I'm going with Yasser to see his parents. By the way, Misato, didn't your parents say they'd come visit you once a year? How come it's been over a year and they still haven't come to see you?" I pulled up Misato, who was crouching on the ground, and naturally patted the dust off his arm, then took off my school uniform jacket and handed it to him: "Hey, aren't you cold? You're really something."

  Yi Sheng smiled and replied, "Not cold, just now on the stage was a good fight, after the game also thinking of seeing you, did not feel the cold!"

  It's really... can't deal with this idiot!

  I patted his head with my mouth and then turned back to ask Yasser: "Yasser, can Mika go with us too?"

  Yasser seemed to be smiling as he spoke, but for some reason I saw a faint sadness in his eyes. This person, I really don't understand him anymore.

  His voice was soft and light: "Of course, as long as Little Tea likes it, anything is fine." As long as you like it... of course... anything is fine. It's just that... your liking, can't I have a little bit of it? Just a tiny bit would be good, just a tiny bit... would be good.

  Following Yasser to the first row of VIP seats where his parents were sitting, his father greeted us warmly and even looked me up and down with a strange gaze, making me feel embarrassed... On the other hand, his aunt was very kind and pulled us over to sit with them (it seemed that their seats were sofa seats, which were quite large). Mito was wearing something too weird - a school uniform jacket on top and several black towels wrapped around his lower body in a triangular shape... underwear. So after greeting us, he went back to the dormitory to change clothes. Before leaving, he carefully told me that the champion of the sumo competition was actually our college's student union president.

  I still remember the first time I met him and the strange questions he asked, it's truly "unforgettable" to this day...

  "Is your name Xiaocha? Our family's Yaser is really thanks to you for taking care of him, haha, he's a very disobedient child... Oh haha... If you can like him, I don't mind you interacting with my family's kid at all." That aunt's personality is really hard to say whether it's good or bad... This kind of careless speaking attitude... and that idiot Masa are really similar.

  My mouth twitched and I didn't know how to respond to Aunt's words. Speaking of which... in their eyes, shouldn't I be considered a boy?!

  It was Jasper who kindly helped me out: "Mother, please don't tease my friend. Xiaocha and I are just good friends who get along well, as for other things, let's talk about them later (Author: q＿q? Later, Jasper, do you really mean later?)."

  Sweat dripping from my forehead, that's the sly flow. It was hard to get through the performance until it completely ended. I quickly called out "Flash" and almost rushed out, not even saying goodbye, leaving Yasser shouting behind me.

  "Mother, you scared away my friend." The elegant young man slowly turned his head to look at the lavishly dressed noblewoman as he gazed at the receding figure.

  The noblewoman smiled softly and her demeanor changed completely: "Ah, my dear son, if you like her, then you must grasp it tightly and never let go."

  "Yes, Mother." The elegant young man replied calmly.

  The middle-aged man who had not spoken finally opened his mouth: "That child is the fiancée chosen by our seven families, and all the heirs of the seven families can only marry her if they have real power. If that man were still alive, he should be very happy to see that child grow up slowly."

  "Ah, geez!!!!!! -_-! Who's the idiot talking trash about me behind my back?! I rubbed my nose and looked around, making sure there were no suspicious people nearby before walking calmly to my dorm. Honestly, since coming to this academy, I've encountered more and more bizarre things... I really don't get what those high-society people are thinking... enjoying fighting as a hobby? Supporting their own kids in doing... that?! My god... someone please enlighten me on why the world is so dark..."

  "Little Tea ∧＿∧, you're here too? I've got something to tell you, today your friend's sumo wrestling match, I won first prize! And the award they said was a dance with you!" A certain someone radiating light appeared behind me with a dazzling smile.

  My hand trembled, and the keys in my hand almost fell to the ground... That's right, the guy standing behind me now is the president of the student council - Min Ye. It's said that he's the son of the director of China's first business group, and also has the top leadership position in this college, with power comparable to that of the principal. Ashamed... I really can't believe that there are still people in this college who are truly normal like me.

  I smiled awkwardly, turned the key and opened my dormitory door, walked in directly, then stuck out my head to say to the student union president outside: "President, aren't you going to grade papers today? How...! You have so much time... going out to play?"

  "Mn... My face showed a suspicious, pitiful expression like a small dog: 'Wooo... I stayed up all night to finish correcting the papers, just for today's school festival... and tonight I still have to pull an all-nighter... Wooo... Little Cha... your friend said... if I win the sumo wrestling competition, you'll dance with me, right? When are you going to dance with me?"

  Chills... I struggled to hold back the twitching of my mouth and face: "Will Long, sir... that's just those people joking around, besides, I won't dance anyway...... and we're both boys (although -_-! I'm a girl disguised as a boy), how can we dance?"

  "It's okay, I won't jump. I can teach you instead. To catch you, I followed you all the way back from the performance venue. Come out, don't hide inside. I know a great place to dance, follow me." He suddenly reached out and pulled me out of the dorm room in one swift motion.

  I was taken aback, he said... He had been following me since I left the theater?! But I didn't have any feeling at all?! How is this possible? I didn't feel anything unusual, and when I looked around in the middle of the way, I still didn't discover him?! This person... how can he be so strong?!

  Unbeknownst to her, she had been pulled by him to the top floor of the student council building. The rooftop was unexpectedly beautiful, and it turned out to be a sky garden. What surprised her even more was that there were many birds inside, all sorts of them, living in this place?! Wouldn't they fly away?!

  Uh... took a closer look... only to discover... that this aerial garden is fully enclosed... embarrassing, it's actually a greenhouse. No wonder those birds can't fly out, I thought the student union president was so charming that even birds were attracted over.

  "Xiao Cha, let's dance." Suddenly, Min Ye, who had been pulling me along, turned his head and said softly to me.

  I really wanted to withdraw my hand, but unexpectedly discovered that this student would grow up with great strength, and his strength... was absolutely not weak... But... I really didn't want to dance!

  "Sorry... sorry... it's going to be a long night... Can't we just not dance? I really don't like..."

  Without any room for refusal, he wrapped his arms around my waist and started to dance with me... Oh my god, if someone saw us in this situation now, it would be absolutely Brokeback Mountain, absolutely BL!!!!!!!!! I was almost crying while dancing with him, thinking in my heart that coming to this academy might have been an absolute mistake!

  I don't know if it was because I was distracted or what, but suddenly I felt like I was going to fall backwards, and out of martial arts instincts (worried that the back of my head would get hit) I used force to turn the direction forward and planned to do a flip to slow down, who knew that the chairman who was clearly by my side just now somehow ended up in front of me! I'm dizzy! Didn't have time to brake and crashed into him!!!! My head hurts so much!!!!!

  "Are you okay? Sorry, I didn't know you were in front of me." I rubbed my head and tried to get up, but as soon as I exerted some force, Minye pulled me back, and the two of us collided again!

  My mother, what does this guy want?!

  "Little tea..." He whispered softly, with a hint of warmth drifting to my ears: "Do you know? Just now Qi He Lan (that silver-haired kid) was watching us..."

  What? Is he looking at us? So what if he is looking at us?

  "Don't you know?" Min Ye's warm hands supported me, his lips almost touching my earlobe: "Qi He Lan... is your fiancé (Author's note: or perhaps one of them)."

  What the...?! Behind me, outside the transparent glass cover, a huge lightning bolt was flashing with a loud crackling sound. I stared at the young man in front of me in shock, his forehead sweating profusely, with beads of sweat as big as steamed buns...... How did this guy possibly know that I came here because of my fiancé's family?! And... if that's the case... then he must also know that I'm a girl?! Does that mean the silver-haired kid knows too?! And Yasser, does he know as well?!

  I stared at him with wide eyes, and he smiled slightly: "Don't be nervous, Qi He Lan doesn't know you're his fiancée, and...he also doesn't know you're a girl." If someone from their family told him that he had already been booked as one of the fiancés, according to Lan's personality, he would definitely turn his own family upside down.

  Oh my god oh my god...... This guy actually knows I'm a girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My god...... Why why why?! I clearly hid it so well.
