Chapter 4 Collision, Eye Contact
“Ha… My type?”
If it’s about manga, I probably lean towards the Yamato Nadeshiko types.
That is, girls who are quiet, gentle, stable, dignified, and elegant… To use Nisekoi as an example, I would prefer Onodera over Chitoge.
Suddenly, Ji Lianbing’s face flashed through my mind.
No, no, no! Someone with such a twisted taste is not my type!
“Is Ji Lianbing not good? I think she’s synonymous with perfection.”
“Oh… Indeed, there’s nothing to fault.”
As if!
That’s all thanks to Miss Shirley, isn’t it?
Under the tutelage of that Perfect Type Head Maid, even a tomboy like Lianbing would surely become a well-behaved young lady when she was young.
It’s just that, considering Miss Shirley didn’t even stop her twisted worldview, things seem to have a deeper reason.
I’ve felt this way for a long time.
Women… are truly incomprehensible.
Their brains must be completely different from mine, otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a huge difference in their thinking.
It was already difficult enough to guess women’s thoughts, and on top of that, the women I know are not ordinary at all…
Are these people truly human?
Did I go too far? No, at least for me… the girls I know are not ordinary at all.
Every time I see Lianbing, this thought involuntarily comes to mind.
“Right? As expected, Ji Lianbing is the type men dream of.”
“Is that so… What’s so good about that kind of woman…”
“Hmm? That kind of woman… you have a strange reaction. Juncheng, aren’t you dating her?”
Uh oh, that sounded quite dissatisfied. Is there any chance to salvage this?
“Yes, yes, although that is the case…”
If I knew her true nature, I would feel more fear than affection.
She’s like a beautiful snake, and she carries deadly venom.
If I were to throw myself into her embrace without caring about anything, I’m sure I would die miserably.
“Then tell me, what’s so good about her?”
“Mostly, she’s cute. Her face is already at a cheating level. Unshakeable cuteness can shake people’s hearts. In the end, humans are visual beings; they have an almost instinctive pursuit of things that are pleasing to the eye.”
“Ugh, I’m despairing of this world that judges people by their looks…”
“And her figure is quite good too. Although it’s not very noticeable in her school uniform, according to Lanhua, Ji Lianbing’s figure is quite voluptuous. Ah, I didn’t mean anything else. But Juncheng, you’ve already tested the goods yourself, haven’t you? Hehe.”
“How could that be… We’ve only been dating for a week…”
“Really?”
It seems like some extreme things have happened, but normal dating couples don’t experience those situations.
Those could only be considered perks I earned at the cost of almost falling apart.
Though the intensity was less than half of what Xinran did while I was asleep, it still made my heart race, and I still feel lingering fear when I think about it.
“…Ah, it’s almost time for the bell to ring, let’s go to the classroom.”
Not wanting to admit that Ji Lianbing fit my type, I ended the conversation, moved Yingliang’s arm off my shoulder, and walked towards the back door of the classroom first.
“Whoa! Careful, careful!”
Just then, a girl with delicate features ran towards me with a panicked expression.
The next second, our shoulders collided, and I lost my balance like a bowling pin being hit, falling to the ground. She, on the other hand, was completely fine; only I was sent flying.
Then she quickly waved her arms to stop herself, retreated a few steps to my side, and apologetically extended her hand to help me up.
“Ahaha, sorry! I was in a hurry because the bell was about to ring, sorry~”
“…”
Seeing her energetic appearance, I couldn’t get angry, so I just sighed and took her hand.
Cold, cold, cold!
It felt like touching ice water, and I even shivered involuntarily.
But before I could react, she pulled me up, patted my arm, and said to herself.
“Oh? Isn’t this Mr. Invisible? Be careful when you walk! I’m going in first then!”
What the heck, she bumped into me, but she’s telling me to be careful…
And what’s with “Mr. Invisible”… Is that my new nickname? It’s quite fitting, actually.
Speaking of which, I remember this girl sits next to me, Li Nai.
Her title is “Zombie (Awakened)”, and the famous zombie I encountered in the cemetery last time also had “Awakened” in its title. Is there a connection between the two?
And why was her body so cold? Could it be because she’s already died…
I shivered again, not from the cold, but from a chill in my heart, feeling like I had encountered a supernatural event in broad daylight.
“Hey, Juncheng, are you alright?”
“No…”
“But, do you know student Li Nai? That’s right, she sits next to you.”
“No, this is the first time we’ve spoken today… I’ve never interacted with her before.”
As far as I remember, she should be a lively girl, and… she’s always eating.
I often see Li Nai nibbling on bread starting from the morning, finishing her bento before noon, ordering two meals at the cafeteria during lunch, and talking about food with her two foodie friends when she gets home at night. She’s practically a monster incarnated from appetite.
I really don’t know where all the food she eats disappears to… Are girls’ stomachs connected to another dimension?
“Oh? Even Li Nai, who gets along with everyone, doesn’t talk to you?”
“Is she on good terms with everyone else?”
“Yes, she can talk to pretty much anyone, mainly because she’s cheerful. In class, she’s even more popular than Ji Lianbing.”
“Oh… That’s quite impressive…”
I put my hands in my pockets and shrugged, showing no interest.
Energetic girl Li Nai…
After the morning classes ended, the most anticipated lunch time arrived.
The reason I was so looking forward to lunch… is because today’s bento was made by Miss Shirley!
Learning from my previous mistake, I decided to eat lunch in the classroom this time.
As I pushed my desk together with Lianbing’s and was about to open my lunchbox, I suddenly remembered something.
“Ah, wait, I think I left my handkerchief in the restroom.”
That was a handkerchief given to me by the maid, and I used it to wipe Lianbing’s drool, so I definitely needed to retrieve it.
“I’ll go with you to get it.”
“Whoa, whoa, you’re not going to barge into the men’s restroom again, are you?”
“Hehehe, I don’t mind?”
“I told you, I mind… Fine, whatever you want.”
“Then let’s go~”
She showed no intention of avoiding suspicion. She stood up, happily linked her arm with mine, pressed her chest against my arm, leaned her entire body on me, and acted like a little bird in my embrace.
Lianbing’s behavior today is so strange… She always seems to be deliberately making intimate gestures, and I always get the feeling that she’s “acting for others.”
What is she plotting this time?
As we left the classroom and headed towards the restroom, I felt more eyes on me.
Passing by the stairs, I brushed past a girl, the one named Bai Yuhui.
I still remembered her because of an incident in the library where I made her cry.
However, I still don’t understand why she cried back then, and the note she passed me was also inexplicable.
Thinking about this, I couldn’t help but look back, and coincidentally, she was also looking back at me.
Then our eyes met in mid-air. There wasn’t any awkwardness; instead, there was a strange feeling of telepathic connection.
Her big eyes were full of smiles and charm, her clear gaze overflowed with a gentle warmth, and the corners of her small mouth curved slightly as she gave me a charming smile before turning and walking down the stairs.
I was slightly stunned; I didn’t expect her smile to be so beautiful.
“Jun Cheng?”
“Ah, yes…”
“Hoh? Even though your official girlfriend is right here, you dare to gaze affectionately at other women? You’re quite bold?”
“Uh… I didn’t…”
“But it’s incredible that Bai Yuhui actually smiled.”
“Do you know her?”
“Don’t underestimate my intelligence network. She’s a year younger than us, but she’s only recently become the center of attention. She used to be quite unremarkable, but recently she took off her glasses and let down her old ponytail, and then others discovered she was a beautiful girl no less than myself. She must have fallen in love. Girls in love always undergo tremendous changes, hehehehe~”
Lianbing said, stroking her cheek.
“Because I was conquered by Jun Cheng, she became the new focus to replace me, you see?”
“What do you mean ‘I conquered you’…”
“It means exactly what it says~ Hehehe~”
…She seems to be in a very good mood today. Looks like my life won’t be in danger.
“But I heard she’s even colder than me. She rejects confessions very decisively, unlike my more indirect approach.”
You vixen are just toying with the hearts of those pure boys! By not rejecting them directly, you make them feel like there’s still a sliver of hope, and then they live in dreams every day… Isn’t it better to reject them decisively!
“So when she smiled at you just now, it really startled me. Maybe the person she likes is you, Jun Cheng?”
“What a joke.”
“Oh, have more confidence! You’re the man I’ve chosen, you know?”
“To be chosen by a young miss, I am truly honored.”
“Hush~”
She’s quite good at acting cute…
What’s worse is that I was actually charmed by it…
Tsk, this sinful woman!
