34. I still have a chance! ()
“I will absolutely never sleep with that perverted, black-hearted, bad angel again, absolutely… absolutely… absolutely!!!”
On the way to school, Evelyn constantly told herself this, as if she wanted to strengthen her resolve in this manner. Emilia walked about two paces behind her, watching the almost obsessed Evelyn repeat these words to herself with interest.
“By the way, am I really that scary? Is it necessary to go to such lengths?”
Angel Miss pouted slightly, feeling a bit unhappy.
If she had heard these thoughts, Evelyn would probably have exploded on the spot: What do you mean “is it necessary to go to such lengths”? Don’t you know what you’ve done yourself!?
And the one who should truly feel wronged should be Evelyn!
Having her wings pulled for a long time, almost rendered unconscious from being played with, and that video still wasn’t deleted, remaining intact on Emilia’s mobile phone. It is Evelyn who lost even her underwear!
So infuriating (▼ヘ▼#)!
The two continued, maintaining this awkward yet somewhat strange relationship all the way to school, returning to the classroom.
However, as soon as they arrived at school and sat down, Evelyn felt that the atmosphere in the class was somewhat off.
“Why do I always feel like… everyone is looking at me strangely?”
For some reason, Evelyn felt that the way her classmates looked at her today carried some unusual emotions. As a demon, she was quite sensitive to emotional changes. Generally, the emotions she sensed from her classmates were mostly admiration, appreciation, or worship, but today, she suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a hint of… pity in the way they looked at her?
What are they pitying her for? She hadn’t copied homework or violated any school regulations, so there’s no way the teachers would punish her. What’s there to pity!?
But although Evelyn thought this way, her intuition told her that things couldn’t be that simple. She slowly turned her gaze toward Emilia beside her, questioning with her eyes whether Emilia had done something mischievous again.
“I didn’t, it wasn’t me.”
This was Emilia’s response with her eyes.
“That’s strange, why is the class atmosphere so weird then?”
The kind and innocent Angel Miss unhesitatingly believed Emilia’s nonsense. She furrowed her brow, propping her head up with one arm, puzzled.
At that moment, a slightly nervous and shy voice came from in front of her, interrupting Evelyn’s confusion.
“Um… that, Evelyn, while I know it might be a bit rude to ask, could you tell me what you were up to last night?”
The owner of this voice was Zhang Anran, the “jack of all trades” sitting in front of Evelyn, leaning in with a mysterious expression, cautiously and very nervously asking her.
“Uh? Not much, just had dinner out like usual and then went back to my rental apartment to rest~ Why do you ask this?”
Evelyn was a bit confused about why Zhang Anran suddenly cared about her plans last night. Besides being followed by some clueless guy in a black robe, nothing else particularly noteworthy happened.
Oh right, and there was that bastard Emilia bullying her.
Thinking of this, Evelyn shot a fierce glare at Emilia, who was sitting next to her reading nonchalantly, but the latter continued to focus on her textbook, completely ignoring Evelyn’s meaning.
What the hell, what is this feeling of loneliness that’s a bit like being abandoned after a night with a scumbag? Boo-hoo, ugh!!! Damn angel, it’s really annoying!!!
For some reason, being ignored like this by Emilia made Evelyn feel extremely unhappy! And looking at Emilia’s demeanor, she definitely was pretending to read to ignore her, the worst!
I’ll glare at you again!!!
As she turned to look at Emilia, unbeknownst to her, a hint of loneliness flickered in Zhang Anran’s eyes as he watched her, even tightening his fists unconsciously.
“It’s nothing, just some rumors going around in class today, thought I’d ask the person directly.”
But soon, Zhang Anran perfectly hid the loneliness in his eyes, reverting to his sunny and cheerful demeanor, casually telling Evelyn.
“Rumors? What rumors?”
Evelyn was slightly taken aback. Rumors about her? Who was so bold as to slander her?
“Well, some people are saying that you and Emilia are a couple, considering how close you seem, you must have known each other for a while, right?”
Zhang Anran seemed to casually ask Evelyn, but in reality, he was extremely nervous, his heart racing like the sound of galloping hooves, with each heartbeat bringing him immense pressure.
“Huh!? Who on earth is dating that person!? What kind of joke is this!?”
Upon hearing that someone was randomly pairing her up, especially with Emilia, Evelyn immediately panicked. It was one thing for those bored guys to pair her up with some school heartthrob or beauty, that’s normal for kids in puberty. But now this audacious group dared to pair her up with that angel Emilia? Don’t they know some pairings can’t just be casually shipped?
Angels and demons are sworn enemies of a deeper blood feud by their races. Although it’s possible that they were both rather special within their groups, making their atmosphere less stiff, Evelyn thought they were still far from the point of being shippable!
After all, the recordings at home hadn’t been leaked (softly)…
“I see, I thought so! That group of people who randomly pair others should just die!!!”
Zhang Anran had known Evelyn for quite some time, well aware that her emotions and thoughts were written all over her face. Therefore, he understood at that moment that what she was saying was indeed her genuine feelings, and upon realizing this, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was probably just a rumor among classmates.
I still have a chance!
PS: To prevent any readers from misunderstanding, I want to clarify again here: This book is a 1V1 pure love story, thus Zhang Anran absolutely has no chance. ()
