....
After a few moments of thought, I was literally sober enough and made my decision.
Why should I do what he says?
Would he even know if I think good about him or not? Silly guy.
I'm gonna continue to treat you like trash within my mind. What can you do?
I shot up from my seat. Both of those silly roommates of mine were silently munching up their food without even looking up. I left without a word. Would it help if I blame everything on them or yell at them? No.
When I was almost at the exit, a student who was sitting there suddenly ran up to me and gave me a folded piece of paper.
"A handsome guy wearing blue told me to give this to you."
Handsome guy... To hell with his looks!
I thanked the student and unfolded the paper as I left the cafeteria.
"With your personality, if my guess was correct, you would trash this challenge straight away even befor
He was looking at me keenly and didn't look very surprised, as if he was expecting I'd say that. “I admit that my behaviour was too hostile towards you, and other girls wouldn't probably have reacted unreasonably like me.” He didn't even blink. Now you must be expecting that I'd apologize. Huh. In your dreams. Here I come to break your expectation! I was about to speak when he cut in as usual, “Everyone is unique and so are you. Since it is you, you acted that way, and such things can't be judged with a common context. And it isn't like you are gonna apologize for behaving like that either. Then why bother saying those?” I was having goosebumps right now. Does he have the superpower of telepathy? Why does he always guess everything correctly before I say them out? I drooped my shoulders, totally lost by the interruption in the conversation. I took a deep breath. I must make things cl
That punk! When I stood there frowning, unable to find the exact words to vent all my anger on him, he still stood at the same spot, looking at me with a strange amusement. A group of girls who were passing by happened to notice him, and of course, it is hard to ignore him. They all gave huge gasps and started to openly comment on how handsome he was. He turned around at them and gave them a polite smile. And with that, those girls went even crazier on him, attracting the attention of other girls in the surroundings. He didn't seem to feel awkward. He must have been used to being surrounded by girls who tell him how handsome he is. I didn't move but was still frowning at him while he continued to gaze into my eyes. It seemed as if time was passing slower, or maybe we were really staring at each other for a long time. I decided to prolong eye contact and direct all my fury at him through my eyes. At that moment, he suddenly broke e
I must have gone crazy to have such a thought. I have been trying my best to drive him away and now that he's gone, how can I even think of going after him? I'm insane! It's nothing! Just going around and inquiring about him isn't a big deal. Anyone can do that but me. You're making such a fuss. Just think about it. What if he hears that I've been asking around about him? Why don't we send Weiwei or RouRou? But... After that apology, they won't make fun of you again. yes... Then what are you waiting for? Stand up and keep going! I stood up with a strange determination, while that 'strange determination' made my chair move with a screech which was loud enough to turn many heads in the pin-drop silence availing in the library. I, fill
"What?" "Let's sit down first." Saying that WeiWei sat down, while I pulled up my chair next to her and sat down, directing all my attention to her. "I spotted a few Data Science freshmen with the help of some of my friends from that department and asked them about Chen Lan but they didn't seem to know him." I could feel my face turning gloomy and puzzled. She continued. "Then I looked up for more students when finally someone said that they knew him. And here comes the weird part." I hobbled up close to her and inclined forward. "Just in case, I wanted to check if his appearance and name matched. And when I described him they agreed to everything like tall in height, fair complexion, dark eyes, fit physique; and denied it right away when I said that he was strikingly handsome." "What?!" "They said that he was just a random guy with plain looks." "Chen Lan being handsome is a profound truth and how can t
No one of us dared to turn back. Our interlinked hands were clasping each other even tighter. Though I was standing in the middle of the three, I felt as if I was deserted alone on that beach. "Laia!" Uh! again! When he called me, it sounded so precise and loud like a bullet being shot midst a pin drop silence. As in all the inexplicable reactions my body gave after meeting him, this time also my body did an inexplicable action. I freed my hands and turned around. Chen Lan was standing 10m away from me. He looked handsome as ever with his hands in the pockets of his light-blue jeans which was paired up with a white shirt. He was standing at a perfect spot where the setting sun's rays gave an illusion as if emerging from him and he continued to stand there with his mischievous look. I was aware that I was staring at him but didn't know what else to do. Thankfully Rou Rou came to my rescue. "Why are you here?"
I blinked hard and opened my eyes slowly, hoping to see something else, but nothing changed. The sight of Chen Lan walking towards us with roller luggage in the airport lounge background with planes moving on the tarmac behind the glass walls appeared so vivid as in an 8k TV. His cool looks almost bought me off for a few moments, but it dissipated soon in the fury which was building from within. This guy ruined my holiday spirit, influenced my decision thus making me hurriedly agree to be present on campus tomorrow (all because I wanted to stay away from him), caused the quarrel between me and my friend, and now when things are almost returning to normal, he's here again to ruin everything again. I turned back to my friends and said, "Let's ignore him." Before they could even reply, "Oh, Girls! why do I see you everywhere?" "...." "I'm travelling back to Shenzhen, what about you." All three of us were tryi
I badly wanted to disappear into thin air this very moment. I was feeling too embarrassed of myself. All these years I had sustained the reputation of being so clear-headed person who doesn't at all jump into some random silly conclusions like others. But this time, I've been behaving like an idiot. He must've thought that I was insane. Meanwhile, I realized that I was standing still like a log midst of all others dynamically moving around. I pulled myself together and finally was making my way out of the airport. While I was absent-mindedly dragging myself and my suitcase, I bumped into someone. It was an old woman who looked quite strong for her age. I hastily made an apology. For that, she replied, "Looks like you feel way older than me." I felt too ashamed to reply to that comment. She smiled and walked past me. It was a really horrible day today. I didn't even feel like making a call to Wei Wei as she urged. While I stepped out, I saw several cab
Today was the day..... The day I'll be finalizing the internship offer.Unlike every other day, I managed to get ready ahead of time today and was already off to the University. I thought the loose-fitting dark green shirt tucked in black high waisted denim jeans which I was wearing would look great for today. I grabbed a double-espresso-macchiato in a coffee bar on my way to the bus stop. The bus stop wasn't crowded as I expected. While I sat there waiting for the bus, I finished up the day's caffeine shot and texted my besties in our chat group. There was no reply. Maybe they haven't woken up yet, but it was already 8.30 am.The bus arrived, and fortunately, I found a seat. In 15 minutes, I got down at my university. It was very calm and tranquil compared to how it looked during each semester. I swiftly walked to my professor's office and found my way in. I had to wait for a while since my professor was attending a phone call.At the same time, I receive
