Chapter 22: Being threatened (1/2)

TL: flarewk

This morning, I went to the classroom way more earlier than usual, who knows, the class duty might not even be earlier than me.

Also, what's extremely rare was that Xin Ran and Ke Ling went to school together with me! In the past, when the three of us left the house we'll always go off at different timings. Usually, it would be me who left the earliest, next Xin Ran, and lastly Ke Ling.

Normally, Xin Ran would be riding a bicycle and ferrying Ke Ling along together to school, but today, they didn't use such convenient tools as like the bicycle. Instead, the both of them hugged onto my arm at each side while walking to school.

Luckily since the time was slightly earlier, there wasn't much people at all on the way as a result, otherwise I'll definitely be treated with 'jealousy-enviousness-hatred' personalities ver 2.0 buffed up edition, and the statuses within my vision would probably be blanketed again in a huge lump of blackness.

Aah, I had a distinct feeling of lament; as long as I don't consider other factors, this kind of scenario would already be the so-called family harmonious bonding, I guess.

Entering the main school building later on, we went our separate ways at the second floor, as Xin Ran and Ke Ling continued to proceed up to the third.

Xin Ran and Ke Ling were based in the first classroom, Year 2 Class 1 on the 3rd floor, but what followed closely next wasn't our Year 2 Class 2, but Year 2 Class 3 instead. Only our Class 2 was being separated onto the second floor, also it being located at the very end of the corridor, hence this special classroom was also mocked as a '222 classroom'. Also worth mentioning, was that there's a '111 classroom' at the first floor, with a similar '333 classroom' on the third floor, they were also being separated right above and below of our class, and all of us were being grouped as the '666 classrooms'. When I was in my first year, I was being assigned to the Year 1 Class 1 right below us.

(TL: Check glossary for lengthy pun explanation)

There seemingly wasn't any special intentions behind arranging the classes like that at all, plus anyway, since I didn't realize that there's anything special with my class at all..........no, wasn't there something special with it! The classmates in my class were all abnormal!

Now that I think of it, other classes didn't have that kind of special titles for them, but only ours had!

Wasn't this a grouping of all the abnormal students together already!

Who's the one that did it? The principal?

Speaking of which, the principal should be Li Li's mother, right. And that means the principal would be a succubus then, a non-human...........she intentionally separated the abnormalities alone from the rest?

No, then why would I be in that class then! Even if I could see some nonsensical stuff right now, but the me last time couldn't see anything at all!

............I had the feeling that if I was to continue pursuing about this, I definitely would be brought into something extremely ominous, so it's better that I stop now then.

I'll just treat it as I didn't see anything at all, and continue to be my normal self as usual...........if there's some sort of way that could make me not see those words............oh yeah!

Through the mirror, I'm unable to see my own status; it's the same as well through outside of the glass windows, me being unable to see other people statuses. Since it's like that...........won't it be solved if I put on some glasses?

I'll go make a pair of clear lens glasses on Saturday then.

Thinking about such things, I walked onto the very end of the second floor's corridor, and pulled open my class's door.

I originally thought that since I came that early today, I definitely would be the first to reach the classroom, but I didn't expect that there were already people in the classroom, what's more its two people as well.

One of them was Ji Lian Bing who had given me a headache thoroughly, while the other was Lan Hua-tongxue who had a stalker title above her head. Mm? Why was her status grey-colored? And what was that expression of hers, eyy...........a look of resentment?

Why would she be displaying that sort of expression that early in the morning? Was it because she didn't sleep well last night due to a nightmare, hm?

Forget it, it's best to not bother about other people's stuff, lest attracting problems onto me as well.

I walked to my seat, and pulled open the chair after placing the bag onto the table. In the wide spacious classroom, only our very corner had people residing, which gave off a rather strange feeling.

Ji Lian Bing who was ignoring me all the way after yesterday afternoon seemed to had regained back her mood after a night, as she smiled towards me and greeted.

”Jun Cheng-tongxue, good morning~.”

I lightly brushed her off with a reply.

”Ah, morning.”

Maybe Ji Lian Bing didn't expect me to be composed and directly greeting her, as she blinked her eyes and unveiled a mocking smile.

”Ara, this time you've actually greeted me so straightforwardly, does that mean you've fallen in love with me already?”

”Yeah, yeah.”

I flipped a white eye and used an extremely prefunctory tone to nonchalantly respond to her.

”Eyy?!”

That sound didn't came from Ji Lian Bing, but had emanated from Lan Hua-tongxue who was sitting right beside her.

Why did she react so hugely?

Speaking of which, her status's color was grey-colored...........

I remembered that grey color refers to the emotion of jealousy...........mm............then that means............

Lan Hua-tongxue can't be a lesbian, right?

I of course had grounds that made me being able to come up with this sort of conclusion, ① Ji Lian Bing asked me whether I had liked her already or not ② I very perfunctorily responded ③ Lan Hua immediately made out a questioning sound of shock.

Basing on these three leads, I could roughly guess Lan Hua-tongxue's inner thinking: 'What, this person would actually be treating Ji Lian Bing-jiejie that perfunctorily, he's such a shamelessly horrid man!', roughly something like that.

Wahh, so impressive, I didn't expect that Ji Lian Bing would actually be so popular among the ladies (monotone voice).

As expected, my prediction made yesterday was correct. The girls weren't mass isolating Ji Lian Bing alone, but it's actually because they were idolizing her, which was why they dared not approached her ultimately. Speaking of which, up till now Ji Lian Bing still hadn't dated with any males yet, could it be that she actually liked girls too?

Ohh~ The popular school flower was actually a lesbian, what a big scoop indeed.

”I have the feeling that you're thinking of something very impolite, An Jun Cheng-tongxue.”

”Nothing, nothing.”

”Heeeeh~ is that so?”

”Yep, yep.”

I still continued to use a perfunctory attitude; even she should be finding it rather uninteresting by now, and not bother me afterwards then.

And as I've expected, Ji Lian Bing didn't come to harass me anymore............all the way until 2 periods of lesson later.

I as usual was preparing to head towards Jun Cheng Pavilion to spend this period of time, but when I've just walked to the small path beside the basketball courts, reaching the bend at the science departmental building, I met Ji Lian Bing over there.

It gave me a huge shock! I remembered that when I had walked out of the classroom, she was still sitting on the seat, but how did she exactly do it until she'd reached this place earlier than me and was waiting for me here!

”Ara~ what a coincidence, Jun Cheng-tongxue.”

”Coincidence my head, you're practically waiting for me here, right.”

Ji Lian Bing suddenly approached forward a step, with the both of her hands tucked behind her back as she raised her head to gaze at both of my eyes. That pair of black-colored pupils that seem to be able to suck people within made me paralyzed motionlessly.

”That's right, I was waiting for you here~, I want to listen to your reply~.”

Reply, that's referring to the confession yesterday, right. She actually wanted a reply that fast already? Well, it's better that I give out a reply earlier too, it'll prevent her from continuing to pester onto me.

”I'm really sorry, it's just like what I've said yesterday, I feel that the both of us aren't compatible.”

”Why did you so decisively reject me~? I'm being completely sincere about it, it's too much already, I'm going to cry out now, mn?”

”What being completely sincere and so on...........you're practically just lying, right.”

”Lying? You thought, that I'm lying?”

Humph, what else could it be other than lying. Let's first not talk about your status being only green-colored, with that sort of confession, no matter who heard it, they would know that it's a lie already.

”Other than lying, what else could it be.”

”Uuu, it's too much already...........I reaaally reallly liked Jun Cheng-tongxue tooo...........”

I originally thought that after I had exposed her lie, Ji Lian Bing would then give up on her disguise, and directly speak out her true motives.

But she didn't!

She really was like a small girl being rejected from confession, her emotions feeling downcasted as she cried out rather prettily!

Plus her status had turned pink-colored already!

Ehhhhhhh? Why did it suddenly become liking me already? Or was it that my ability had gone wrong?

”Err..........”

She really liked me? Oioi? Really?

I dumbly stood onto my original spot, like an idiot who didn't know what to do at all, should I go comfort her? By the way, since she really liked me, I should agree to that confession then? But, that title of her's.............the thoughts within my brain were messily clustered, and I once again fell into a state of confusion.
