Meanwhile, in the equipment room at the southeast corner of the playground, Hu Pianpian was sitting on the duty teacher's desk, waiting for Qiao Yi with nothing to do.
Students in the International Department are not required to attend evening self-study sessions. Some close friends may stay in the classroom to study on their own, but more people choose to go home early, attend other training classes, practice equestrianism or figure skating, and prepare for college applications.
Hu Pianpian was given a strict order by her parents to stay at school and study hard, not allowing her to indulge in social media or hang out with her group of "friends."
Hu Pianpian felt bored. Her grades were below average, and she felt she wasn't cut out for studying, but she wasn't a bad student either. She followed the rules and never did anything that violated the identity of a high school student. Her parents hoped she would study finance, but she liked exquisite fashion and rare luxury goods. Her dream was to become a designer, perhaps the most rebellious thing she had ever done.
The so-called "fox and dog friends" are the little partners she met on the internet. They have similar aspirations and often collect the latest trends on the internet, go to the mall together, shop together, and dress together, living like the glamorous bloggers on the internet. But watching those young and successful fashion bloggers, Hu Pianpian often falls into a kind of anxiety about the fleeting nature of youth, and becomes more unwilling to be trapped in boring classrooms.
She is now leaning against the wall, waiting for Qiao Yi and chatting with members of a group called "Love Chase."
Yes, she is in love, or more accurately, she has a "secret crush" because they haven't officially established a relationship yet.
That was about two weeks ago.
At the end of last month, the school organized a literary and artistic performance, and students from grade one to grade eleven all participated. As a member of the drama club, Hu Pianpian was arranged to work backstage, helping with some stage tasks.
It was there that she was captivated by a boy named He Shi.
At that time, she didn't know his name yet, but she felt that this person was very handsome. It's not that he had a delicate appearance, but he exuded an indistinct charm of both masculinity and femininity, which was very attractive.
The moment she saw him, Hu Pianpian couldn't take her eyes off him. The backstage's pale light made everyone look sallow, but he was different. His skin was like a piece of fine white jade, emitting a lustrous luster. The poor lighting only highlighted his contours, which were so smooth and perfect, making him the most beautiful person Hu Pianpian had ever seen in her life!
Hu Pianpian feels difficulty breathing, accelerated heartbeat, and a fever on her face. For the first time in her life, she mustered up the courage to ask for He Shi's contact information.
That night, when she returned home, Hu Pianpian still felt dizzy, as if she were dreaming. He Shi is good-looking, gentle, and has a pleasant voice, completely matching all her aesthetic preferences. She couldn't help but fantasize about being with He Shi...
After that day, she couldn't resist starting to chat with He Shi—He Shi is an art student. After the performance, he went out for training with the teacher and has not returned until now, so Hu Pianpian's "first love" has completely turned into "online love."
He Shi speaks humorously and wittily, unlike those "straight guys" in the class who are nauseating. He understands Hu Pianpian's little thoughts and can also perceive her sensitive emotions. Chatting with him is very pleasant. Hu Pianpian quickly fell, she started holding her phone day and night, waking up every day looking forward to new message alerts, and her heart would beat faster every time the phone screen lit up.
However, He Shi seems very busy, often hot and cold, sometimes able to chat with her for a long time, sometimes not responding for a long time, making Hu Pianpian feel uneasy.
Her emotions have been completely led by He Shi, realizing this, Hu Pianpian feels lost. She is experiencing the taste of love for the first time, unable to help but worry. She can be happy for hours because of He Shi's ambiguous praise, and also toss and turn at night in tears because of He Shi's sudden coldness. At this time, Hu Pianpian will question herself, do I really like him? Does he really have feelings for me?
When she is feeling uncertain, Hu Pianpian will repeatedly look through their chat history, reading He Shi's affectionate words, and she can't help but believe that He Shi has feelings for her - every word is sincere and heartfelt.
Just as she was once again immersed in the anxiety of He Shi ignoring her, Qiao Yi happened to be practicing tarot and gave her a reading. Unexpectedly, Qiao Yi not only described the unrequited love she was experiencing, but also told her that she would receive a message from the person she was thinking of tonight.
Hu Pianpian was half-believing and half-doubting, but that night, He Shi actually messaged her! Delighted, Hu Pianpian then continued to seek Qiao Yi's divination, which has lasted until now.
After a while, Qiao Yi finally arrived. As usual, she brought a thick black velvet blanket and laid it on the ground, saying that it could enhance the energy connection of the Tarot cards.
"Jojo, can you please help me ask if the person I dreamt about last night was him?" Hu Pianpian couldn't wait any longer, her face filled with excitement and shyness.
Qiao Yi looked at her sparkling eyes and couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart. She thought, is this what it's like to be trapped by love?
She carefully prepared everything and once again reminded Hu Pianpian, "Stay calm, clear your mind, and then draw the cards."
Hu Pianpian nodded vigorously, closed her eyes, and drew three cards.
Qiao Yi looked at the three cards in silence for a long time, frowning more and more tightly. Finally, under Hu Pianpian's urging, she hesitated and said, "The Tarot cards are warning you that he is not from the same world as you."
"Not from the same world?" Yu Tiantian couldn't help but exclaim, "What does it mean that I've met someone who is not from the same world?"
Yu Tiantian just finished shouting and then realized she was trembling. She had just finished eating and was sweating, but now she was completely cold.
An Xiaoshan had no intention of joking. His gaze was fixed on Yu Tiantian, but his eyes seemed to be drifting far away, as if looking at something else through her.
"Probably around the time of the rooster... It should be during the last class in the afternoon. Have you seen anyone?" He gave a hint.
Yu Tiantian's pupils suddenly contracted: "Ah! During P.E. class..." She realized her voice was a bit loud, hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, looked back in the direction of He Fei, confirmed that the other party had not noticed here, and then whispered, "Well... I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone!"
An Xiaoshan quietly watched her, noncommittal.
"Forget it, I know you're not that kind of person." Yu Tiantian shook her head, muttered softly, then sat down at her seat, moved the stool closer to him, and said in a low voice, "When I went to the Equipment room this afternoon, I saw He Fei and a very good-looking guy inside."
After speaking, Yu Tiantian gave An Xiaoshan a "you know what I mean" look, but An Xiaoshan remained as impassive as water, and it was unclear whether he understood.
Yu Tiantian had to continue, "It seems like they had a disagreement. I heard He Fei crying, and that boy should have been comforting her... I was afraid of an awkward encounter, so I waited for He Fei to leave before going into the Equipment room. When I went in, the boy was still there, standing by the window and looking outside."
"Is there a problem?" Yu Tiantian looked at him nervously.
An Xiaoshan remained silent, lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked directly to He Fei.
Yu Tiantian was clueless and hurried to follow him over - there were still twenty minutes left before the evening self-study session was about to start. The classroom was bustling, and everyone was making the most of their remaining time by playing around. An Xiaoshan was not particularly noticeable.
" He Fei, I saw what happened in the Equipment room this afternoon."
He Fei is doing exercises, and An Xiaoshan's sudden words are like a bolt from the blue. Her hand trembles, and the pen accidentally tears the exercise book.
"Who is that person?"
He Fei Heartbeat raced, subconsciously reaching into the desk drawer and clutching something. When she looked up, a hint of panic still lingered on her face. "What? You must be mistaken."
"What is that?" An Xiaoshan immediately turned his head to look at He Fei's hand hidden under the table, his eyes sharp.
At one moment, He Fei felt as if she was being targeted by a venomous snake, as if she were completely exposed in front of An Xiaoshan, and the young man before her seemed to be able to see all of her fears, even her secrets.
But soon she comforted herself, how could An Xiaoshan possibly know her secrets?
"You...you...did you lose something? I don't know what you're talking about." He Fei She stutters when she's nervous, and the more she stutters, the more nervous she becomes. She grips the wooden plaque tighter, her palms sweaty and slippery.
"The thing in your hand." An Xiaoshan remains unmoved, his tone increasingly aggressive: "That's not yours, where did you get it from?"
The tension in the air gradually escalated, and the surrounding classmates stopped playing and turned their eyes in unison.
Seeing He Fei like a startled bird, a layer of mist covered his eyes, and several people nearby couldn't sit still.
"An Xiaoshan, why are you bullying He Fei?" The class monitor was the first to speak up. She was a girl with a strong sense of justice and couldn't stand to see anyone bullying the weak.
"Yeah..."
"Is it right to falsely accuse someone just because something is lost?"
"Shouldn't we speak based on evidence?"
The scattered voices of dissatisfaction could be heard around. Seeing someone speaking up for her, He Fei seemed to have found support. She looked up at the community worker gratefully, tears silently streaming down her face, "I, I, I didn't take your things..."
Yu Tiantian looked at the tears of He Fei, and suddenly a subtle emotion arose in her heart. She also felt that An Xiaoshan was really too bad. Why bully people?
An Xiaoshan remained indifferent, "When things reach an extreme, they will reverse. You should take care of yourself."
He Fei still bowed his head and wept without saying a word.
So, An Xiaoshan walked out of the classroom amidst the disdainful or puzzled looks of the people around him.
Yu Tiantian followed him out all the way, but she didn't expect An Xiaoshan to suddenly turn around. Yu Tiantian hurriedly stopped in her tracks, almost bumping into him.
Without waiting for her to speak, An Xiaoshan tapped her on the forehead. Yu Tiantian only felt a buzzing sound like a gong ringing in her ears. Soon, the buzzing sound dissipated, and the pent-up frustration also disappeared.
Yu Tiantian widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at An Xiaoshan and then at He Fei in the classroom: "I just..."
"You've been influenced by her," An Xiaoshan didn't intend to say more, "Go to the Equipment room and take a look."
Yu Tiantian hasn't reacted yet, and blankly asked, " He Fei, what's going on?"
An Xiaoshan evaded the question, "She will be fine for now. Just stay away from her."
"Oh." Yu Tiantian honestly responded and followed An Xiaoshan forward.
For some reason, Yu Tiantian has a natural trust and awe towards An Xiaoshan. Sometimes she feels too weak in front of An Xiaoshan, as if she is obedient and submissive, almost to the point of kowtowing to him.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and couldn't help but ask, "What was that thing in her hand? Why does it feel like it can brainwash people?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
An Xiaoshan actually doesn't know? Yu Tiantian stopped in shock, and stood still in place.
"This is not important," An Xiaoshan turned back helplessly and urged her to catch up, "Her problem can be solved later, for now let's go solve the one in the equipment room."
Yu Tiantian could only mutter to herself that An Xiaoshan was a mysterious person, while continuing to stride forward.
Walking to the playground, Yu Tiantian could see the lights on in the Equipment room from a distance, with several figures moving inside.
Yu Tiantian immediately raised her index finger and made a "shh" gesture to An Xiaoshan, indicating that there were people inside.
"It seems like Xu Zhihui's classmate..." She squinted her eyes, "Hmm... it seems like the boy I saw this afternoon is also there..."
