I stared blankly. Suddenly I felt dark clouds pressuring from the top of my head, giving me a bad premonition. And when I was in a daze for that few seconds, the man slowly changed his facing position, slowly.....slowly.....turned around. I took a glance, the boiling blood in my body condensed.......
In front of me, his face like cold water, with thin lips pressed together, this viper-like handsome man, damn......is this not my number one enemy, Kang Zixian?
Heavens, did you lose your eyes? Earth, are your eyes missing? Did the both of you collectively lost your eyes?!!
At this moment, the cold light that shot out of Kang Zixian's eyes were like sharp knives, cutting me to shreds. My face was burning, my brains tightened into a ball, like a runaway child who had done wrong and was caught half-way, feeling shocked, lost and very embarrassed.
Not to mention a hole, if now, given a dog hole, I would not hesitate to crawl into it.
An ungrateful woman who had smugly run off and now again portraying a love-struck girl is caught outright. I am really stuck in a tragic situation.
God knows how this man in front of me, would use his vicious, poisonous sharp mouth to ridicule me on my silly sister image, making me so angry that I would have internal bleeding. I just wanted to bang myself against the wall and faint.
Every time I meet with this man, it feels very strange like an ill-fated relationship and if I cannot win, then I have to withdraw and I have to retreat immediately, backward.
I turned my eyes and was about to run off when Teacher Ye, perhaps feeling embarrassed when she saw me staring at Kang Zixian, turned to reveal her gentle and kind smile. She pretended she did not hear, gently greeted me. "Jian Mei Da...ah, it's so late, why are you still here?"
A shining lightning flashed across my eyes.
Teacher Ye, why did you call out my false name? Is this not adding to my problems?
Holding the wrinkled love letter in my hand, my lips wriggling, standing a few steps away from Kang Zixian, I was electrocuted by his high-voltage power into a silly chicken. After a long while, acting coyly I said. "Ha, ha......Teacher Ye, I'm going. He, he, he......I'm going......."
A demon was present, my ambitious heart had also died down. At the side, Jiang Li gave me an angry expression, coldly and obliquely looked at me. I guessed that he was angry because I had ruined his interaction with Teacher Ye.
Tomorrow, I will make more persistent efforts.
"Goodbye, Teacher Ye." I bowed, turned around with the intention to run off but I had not even turned, a cold resonant voice sounded from behind me, comparable to the sound of Brain Magic.* (A Hongkong horror film 'Brain Magic').
"You still have not given him your love letter."
I knew it......
I gritted my teeth, in my heart, almost chewed Kang Zixian who was standing behind me, into ten thousand pieces but because of the task in hand, even if I feel extremely angry, I will still have to tolerate.
In embarrassment, I turned around, unhappily stared at him as a warning: Be tactful, do not meddle with my business nor hinder my work.
I stared at Kang Zixian, he was also not courteous, looking at me coldly, tightening his thin lips. Both our eyes were unconsciously locked together.
I put on a fake smile towards Kang Zixian and said. "Yes....ah, thank you, Uncle, for reminding me."
As soon as the word 'uncle' came out from my mouth, Kang Zixian did not speak. He pulled his face taut and stared at me, giving out a feeling, as if his body was covered with a thin layer of frost.
Teacher Ye saw me turn around with an angry appearance and was openly staring, offending the stranger. Probably afraid that I would ruin the good reputation of High School and in order to divert attention, she put her hands to her waist in a serious manner and said in a soft, low-pitched voice. "Jian Mei Da, you can write love letters but you must also not forget your math homework."
Teacher Ye was reminding me about this morning, that I did not pass up my math assignment. This morning, I and Fei Ge had overslept. When I woke up, it was already 8 o'clock, rushing to school, the little bastards had already started their lessons. How could I have the time to copy the assignment.....leading to five teachers from five subjects collectively specifically wanted me to do ideological work* (student's brainwashing session to instill good morals, correct their mistakes and keep them in line), giving me fierce training so that I would not end up being mouse faeces in a pot of porridge.* (Because of a person's problem which could implicate the whole group), ruining Class 4, this pot of good porridge. Because I still had to mix-in this school, so I had no choice but to promise over and over again not to repeat the offense. Never in this life, had I been such a loser.
I could tolerate being wronged throughout the day but did not expect to bump into a hard nail.
I had even failed to hand over the love letter and also had the misfortune to meet my enemy. If I had consulted the Lunar calendar* (The Chinese calendar) today, I may not have such bad luck.
Talking about this, the letter which I had written with blood and tears which eventually could not be passed on, was now forced by the enemy to pass on......then should I or should I do it?
I gritted my teeth, at this important moment, I could not afford to screw up. I decided to simply pass on the love letter rather than not do it because I could not guarantee I would not go crazy and swallow the letter.
I did not look at Kang Zixian, lifted my chest, gave Teacher Ye a polite smile and said loudly. "Teacher Ye, rest assured that I will not forget. I want to learn from Jiang Li, to be a student of good morals and be intellectually developed.
And then I turned on my brilliant smile towards Jiang Li who was all this time, coldly watching by the side. He looked up and stared at me, his demeanor looking like an arrogant prince.
Today, because of this brat, I had really lost face and endured the strong hatred lurking in my heart. Pretending to be shy, lowered my head, I shoved the love letter into his hand and whispered unhesitatingly. "This is for you."
Jiang Li glanced at the love letter in his hand, probably did not expect I would so bold to do this in front of the teacher. He panicked, looked up and glanced at me. With some hesitation, he looked into the eyes of the teacher and then wanted to shove it back into my hand.
His instinctive sideway glance rang an alarm bell in my head. This was a thorny problem, this kid really had feelings for Teacher Ye and was afraid if he took my love letter, she would misunderstand and be angry.
He really wanted to shove it back into my hand, he began to speak. "I do not....."
"You are not going to refuse, are you?" I rushed over to step in front of him, I clasped his hand with both my hands to block his hand movement, gritted my teeth, smiling at him to prevent him from refusing.
At the same time, I felt as if a thorn was being stuck in my back, a hole was fast burning into my school uniform......burning hot.
Behind me, the man's presence was too strong.
Under the three pairs of watchful eyes, a dash of electric fire flashed. I had a plan and I believed that only a few words would effectively settle the complex relationship between the four of us.
I could make the bastard give up his feeling for Teacher Ye and also make Kang Zixian, this man hate me till his teeth itch, never to bother me again.
After dealing with Jiang Li, I turned around with a smile, threw a glance at the cold, tight-lipped Kang Zixian who was watching me acting out my play. Facing Teacher Ye, I would play my last act for the day which would also be the most exciting show.
It is time for my finale.
I pretended to be an innocent girl, blinked my eyes, with fingers pointing to Kang Zixian, facing the matured Teacher Ye, asked loudly. "Hey, Teacher Ye, is this Uncle your boyfriend?"
"Ah?" Teacher Ye was surprised, her face flushed a tinge of pink, shyly looked at Kang Zixian, waving her hands, said. "No, not....."
Probably I had exposed the thoughts in her heart, Teacher Ye was obviously embarrassed, softly rebuked me. "This child.......you really........"
I laughed. "Teacher don't deny. Look, Uncle feels so sad......"
"Isn't that right, Uncle?" I turned slightly, affectionately called Kang Zixian and his face sank, just like the last time I teased him when I was in a drunken state. In the end, he had given me a chilling look that would make a person shudder, with his deep bottomless eyes.... like now.
"I'm not your Uncle, little child." Kang Zixian coldly answered. The words 'little child' was stressed heavily, in actual fact, to mock me.
Well, you are really not my uncle, you are my enemy. I had run a half circle and you had caught me, just blame it on my bad luck.
"Of course, you are.....Uncle." To embarrass him, I respectfully bowed to him and said in honesty. "Uncle, you are so handsome. You and my teacher will make a good match. When you get married, can I be your flower girl?"
Kang Zixian's face darkens and by his side, Teacher Ye clutched her big chest and exclaimed. "Jian Mei Da, this child......how can you joke?"
I laughed innocently, with my purpose reached, the finale had come to an end. I was ready to retreat when Kang Zixian suddenly opened his mouth.
He was no longer looking at me. There was a creepy smile on his face that made the hairs on my body stand on ends. According to my understanding of him, under normal circumstances, this man would never smile and once he smiles, there would be basically only two reasons: 1)....he was in a good mood, 2).....he was in a bad mood.
At this moment, it could be guessed whether he was in a good or bad mood.
His smile was elegant and unfathomable, leisurely said to Teacher Ye. "Miss Ye, the students that you teach, are they really so special? High School is definitely really different."
Perhaps Kang Zixian's dazzling handsome face instantly took away Teacher Ye's breathing abilities, her face turned crimson, completely lost her articulation that was always present during her class and now was more like a little girl feeling her first awakening of love.
She looked at me and Jiang Li, shyly stammering, said. "Yes, comparatively more special......very smart."
Whatever Teacher Ye said was not coming from her heart, in fact, I guessed she would love to make mincemeat sauce out of me.
Kang Zixian smiled and lightly said. "I think it's because Teacher Ye is a good teacher."
"Mr. Kang, thank you for your praise." Teacher Ye was not able to control herself and when Kang Zixian praised her, her ears turned red.
The man in front of me who took care of me for a night and now was paying attention to another woman. My heart felt uncomfortable, I had even felt grateful to him and even thought he was not bad, the result.......
Even if I die, I would admit that I felt a little disappointed.
I was about to leave when Kang Zixian twisted his words and said. "But have Miss Ye ever taught your students a principle? ......"
"What? Mr. Kang, please tell me." Teacher Ye gently smiled and asked, her eyes full of Kang Zixian's smile.
Teacher Ye had by now, completely ignored Jiang Li beside her. Looking at her infatuated face, I could not help but sigh for Jiang Li who was standing silently behind me. The beauty already had someone else in mind.....so brother, come to your senses and quickly return to me.
But I felt a bit strange, Kang Zixian did not like to talk nonsense and if he wanted to say something, he certainly would have a purpose.
I subconsciously paid attention to Kang Zixian's words. "When you have the opportunity, Miss Ye may wish to tell your students......."
He stopped, his dark eyes suddenly looked at me, mouth lifted in a taunting light smile. "The earth is round like a flower bed. It is better not to take too many bends and be less smart."
"Ah? .......Yes......" Teacher Ye listened to the words 'flower bed theory' and was at a loss, nodded in acknowledgment and thoughtfully looked at me and Kang Zixian.
