Chapter 10 – Fiery Sun Quencher
From a certain distance, an elegant and beautiful teenager observed the whole violent verbal exchange. It was Lin Zi Yan!
Her glossy purple hair was resting on her shoulders and the white slim fit dress emphasized her curves in contrast to the thin profile of her body. While her neck and collarbones were gracefully and seductively exposed through the opening of the dress, which was framed by the embellished collar on her dress. There was even a stylish purple flower embroidered on the dress, sitting right next to the bulge on her chest.
Zi Yan saw Ye Wei slowly walking away from Green Phoenix Hall. She could see from Ye Wei’s posture that he felt lonely and frustrated because of what just took place between Joe Yin and him. The distant look on Ye Wei’s face caused a throbbing pain somewhere in Zi Yan’s heart.
But there was not even a hint of rage on his face. Ye Wei always held rage back like a dormant volcano that would never erupt.
Lin Zi Yan couldn’t imagine how much mockery and pressure he had received from his peers and teachers; that on top of the sadness in his heart due to his poor performance in class and being a red Sentient one star Student, who was constantly told he would never be worth anything other than trash. Even now with his new found soul sensibility, he still distanced himself from the world because he didn’t have enough confidence to stand on his own two feet and talk back to people.
Like a hedgehog, Ye Wei faced obstacles in the fetal position, passively protecting himself from the world.
While looking at the lonely figure of Ye Wei getting smaller and smaller as he walked away, Zi Yan imagined the solitude he had experienced for all these years and tried to empathize with him.
“Ye Wei, where are you heading off to? Let’s go together!” Zi Yan called out to Ye Wei, with a uplifting smile on her face as she suggested casually. She quickly walked towards Ye Wei, with her dress flying in the wind of the summer breeze, causing her to look like an angel that descended from the heavens.
Beauty is subjective and relative. Joe Yin and her friends were good-looking academic achievers, but when Zi Yan came into sight, it was akin to watching a swan arriving near a flock of ducks.
Every time Joe Yin and her friends saw Zi Yan, they would start comparing themselves and become ashamed. When it came to family, wealth, looks, and talent the gap between them and Zi Yan was simply too vast. They didn’t even have the the courage to socialize with her. They preferred hanging out in their shared dormitories, whereas the private houses were out of their league!
‘Who did Lin Zi Yan just talk to? Are my ears deceiving me?’ Joe Yin’s eyes widened in disbelief as Zi Yan walked towards Ye Wei.
He came to Green Phoenix Hall for Lin Zi Yan!
But how did he even know her? They were from different worlds. One was trash that lived on the earth, while the other was a star that was only fit to belong in the heavens, themselves!
Hearing Zi Yan’s call, Ye Wei turned around with a startled look on his face. He mumbled softly “Mm… Sister Zi Yan…” He had almost forgotten to drop the ‘Miss’.
“I have to go to the Runemaster Union and we’ll be taking the same way, so let’s walk together!” Lin Zi Yan smiled and said this casually. She looked around, coldly setting her eyes onto Joe Yin and her friends and started frowning: “Who are these people? Ye Wei, I don’t think you should waste time talking to these nobodies! There are a lot of commoners who are not worthy of our attention at this academy. You should simply ignore them.”
After processing what Zi Yan had just said, the faces of Joe Yin and her friends had a pale complexion. All of them were bitterly thinking the same thing ‘Are we really unworthy commoners in her eyes?!’
Like a rock falling onto thin glass, Joe Yin’s conceited nature was instantly shattered by Zi Yan’s words. In Joe Yin’s head, Zi Yan had so many great qualities that she was someone Joe Yin idolized and wished to be someday.
Although Joe Yin was already a six star Student, Zi Yan was out of her league in status and strength.
Joe Yin could not even understand why her idol, Lin Zi Yan, was with trash like Ye Wei and was even supporting him. She ground her teeth, though she was offended by Lin Zi Yan Joe Yin didn’t have to courage to talk back because she was well aware that if Zi Yan said anything it could be the ruin of the Joe family!
As Ye Wei assessed the situation he could not resist giving Zi Yan a thankful look, having realised she was getting the girls back for what they had just said.
