87 Are They Even Human? (1/2)

On a viewing platform in Tianmen mountain, a young fei zhu liu [1] couple posed on the railing, while their group of friends took turns on taking their photo.

The man had dyed blonde hair and wore a neon green bomber jacket, while the girl beside him had bubblegum pink hair tied up in pigtails. She was pouting at the camera, looking girly and cute.

One of her female friends commented enviously, ”If only I could be as pretty as Jinjing, then I might have a cute boyfriend like that too.”

All of their friends nodded their heads in agreement.

”Well, Jinjing is the goddess of our school after all. It's only natural for her to be with someone at her own level.”

”I heard he broke so many hearts before he fell in love with our Jinjing. It's so sweet!”

”He's a famous street dancer. Not only is he cute, he's talented too. Jinjing's so lucky to have him!”

”Well, he's lucky to have Jinjing too. If only I could be with goddess Jinjing, ah!”

The bubblegum pink-haired girl, the one they called Jinjing, smugly listened to their conversation. It was only natural. Beautiful people attract attention whenever they go, because they were pleasing to the eye.

In a basket full of blemished apples, who wouldn't notice a glossy red apple? It was their role to stand out from the crowd.

She looked up at the man standing beside her, giving him a flirty smile. She had constantly given him subtle hints for five months before he finally decided to pursue her, and Jingjing was proud to discover that they had indeed become the hottest couple in their school as she had expected. Thanks to that, she had gained many followers.

Although her boyfriend had an expression that seemed like he didn't care about what anyone thought, he too was attentively listening to their discussion. He flipped his hair a little, making sure to show them his best angle.

An attractive female tourist passed by and gave him an appreciative glance. He felt gratified, raising his chin slightly and giving her his best smile.

Then the tourist abruptly stopped, her eyes becoming round as her mouth dropped open.

”So...handsome...”

He tried to mask his glee. It was the first time he had made anyone become stunned like this, as a blush suffused her cheeks like red wine. But...eh?

Why did he feel like she wasn't looking at him...but at someone behind him?
