Unwilling Lorrie

  ……

  "What's the point of being sick if you don't take care of yourself?"

  "Shut up, what do you know? I'm busy right now. I heard... it seems like he's doing the theme song promotion for that movie 'Back to Twelve' or something."

  "Okay, okay, let's make a movie..."

  A brain-dead fan of a certain EXO member, her BFF Shi Ya Li, Liu Jia Jia took the lead and walked into the classroom, not even turning her head as she headed towards her own seat.

  "Hey, hey, let me tell you..."

  Her best friend, Shi Ya Li, has a delicate appearance, with a ponytail and a smooth face. Her figure is slender and agile, with a slight curve in front and back, exuding a lively and lovely charm that showcases the vitality of her age.

  Shi Yali chased after her for a few steps, excitedly following Liu Jiajia's side, and chattered to her slightly annoyed profile: "That 'Reborn at 12' ah, no, 'Reborn at 20' ah, that movie is absolutely reliable in quality! Hehe... how about when it's released, we go watch it together at the cinema?"

  Liu Jiajia closed her eyes and pouted, then immediately smiled slyly and turned to him with a teasing tone: "Are you buying tickets?"

  It seemed that she intended to use the difficult topic of "money" to shut her friend's mouth and get some peace, but Liu Jiajia responded with an impatient glance, not stopping at all as she walked to her own seat, turned around and sat down.

  Her best friend, Shi Ya Li, seemed to be hesitating and reflecting, then with a wronged expression, she chased after her and asked: "You don't like Lu Han?"

  Liu Jiajia, who was tidying up her desk, raised her eyes and gazed at her with a sulky expression, "I like your dad."

  With a sigh, Shi Ya Li's chest felt tight, and she took small steps to move next to Liu Jia Jia. With an aggrieved expression, she kept tapping Liu Jia Jia's arm with her hip, pleading: "Lu Han is so handsome, can't you just like him?"

  Liu Jiajia turned up her nose and ignored him, busying herself with tidying up the desk. Then she pulled out a meal card from the pocket of her uniform and casually stuffed it into the drawer of her desk, suddenly touching something like a plastic bag that made a sharp rustling sound.

  In Shi Yali's relentless and annoying persuasion, Liu Jiajia suddenly bent down, looked at the desk drawer, and then took out a bottle of Youlemei milk tea, a bag of Little Bear biscuits, and a bottle of unknown milk with an astonished expression.

  Put on the table, with a bewildered and stunned expression, at a loss for what to do.

  "Oh... when did you buy all this?" Stone Yali couldn't help but pause for a moment as she scanned the snacks and drinks on Liu Jiajia's desk.

  "What am I buying, what am I buying..."

  Liu Jiajia's face lifted up in a flustered manner, both asking and questioning: "Haven't I always been with you?"

  Shi Yali blinked her bright eyes, neither confirming nor denying, and her gaze naturally flowed slowly over the snacks before stopping at the packaging box of that bottle of something milk, exclaiming: "Wood, wood melon milk!?"

  Liu Jiajia was taken aback and let out a sound of surprise, then raised her eyes to find that her best friend's gaze had fallen on the relatively full chest that was propped up by her small suit jacket and shirt. She looked around blankly for a few moments, then suddenly turned red in the face and argued with an air of righteousness: "I said it wasn't me who bought it!"

  Shi Ya Li stared blankly for a moment, then raised her neck and smiled slyly, letting out a meaningful "oh" sound. She sauntered over with a flirtatious air, wrapping her slender arms around Liu Jiajia's neck, which was emitting a stifled aura, and said: "Ah~ not bad~ you still have someone pursuing you~"

  Liu Jiajia pursed her lips, and her cheeks, which were burning like fire, were lightly stroked by her best friend's slender fingers. She suddenly bit her teeth, and her eyes became extremely complex, with countless emotions swirling in her watery pupils. Suddenly, a hint of worry and melancholy emerged, and she let out a stifled sigh, quickly lowering her head, unable to say anything.

  With the demeanor of a palace maiden, Shi Ya Li gently picked up the box of papaya milk and softly stuffed it into Liu Jia Jia's cleavage, her flirtatious eyes saying: "Come on, drink some, there's more inside~"

  Fury filled the air, Liu Jiajia snatched the box of papaya milk from him and slammed it heavily on the table, her breathing stiff and heavy as she glared at Fang.

  Ye Cai, who had just spent the last three minutes cleaning himself up and washing his face several times, was noticed by Li Wei, who was gazing in a certain direction with her head tilted. She gave him a gentle but timid glance, and then looked in the direction of Liu Jiajia, quickening her pace to walk onto the passageway not far from them. When she saw the situation clearly, she couldn't help but stand there in shock, frozen in place.

  "Hehe, you little girl, still shy..."

  It seemed that Shi Ya Li noticed Ye Cai's attention and "his" abnormal reaction, so before leaving, she ambiguously touched Liu Jia Jia's hot face with a flirtatious smile and then left.

  As he passed by Ye Cai's side, his dark eyes slanted over and swept across Ye Cai, leaving behind a deeply meaningful flirtatious glance before walking away slowly.

  She raised her index finger and gently wiped the tip of her nose, then glanced at Shi Ya Li's back with the corner of her eye. She took a deep breath, looked at Liu Jia Jia who was staring angrily at the snacks on the table, pursed her lips and walked slowly towards her desk, pretending to be nonchalant.

  She sat down gently, maintaining silence for a while, then randomly pulled out a textbook from the book mountain standing on the upper right corner of the desk, and pretended to read it very seriously.

  Liu Jiajia began to suspect, the usual laughter and joking between close friends now seemed exaggerated and suspicious in her eyes. She took out the note from her small pocket again and carefully examined the words written in a bold and unrestrained style, but with an overall soft and gentle tone. She speculated, questioned, and imagined, eventually becoming heavy-hearted, her eyes darting back and forth, intentionally glancing at her friend who had returned to her seat, a complex and entangled expression flashing across her eyes.

  Preventing fire, theft and mistress, but all these have not started yet, are they already secretly competing with each other?

  For whom?

  What's with this effeminate guy? This sissy? This man who doesn't have even a bit of masculinity?

  She wasn't pleased, turned her face away, furrowed her brow and narrowed her eyes, but she was deeply convinced that the small bear biscuits, Oolong tea, and the box of wooden melon milk on the table were all from Ye Cai's hand, and that this little rascal had secretly stuffed them into her desk drawer.

  She doesn't accept it!

  She was furious, why just because of Ye Cai's kind of person, let her best friend Shi Ya Li not hesitate to abandon their friendship, for "him" unscrupulous, threatening, mocking, ridiculing - Shi Ya Li was originally a good girl, although a bit silly, but essentially pure and lovely, but just for a sissy Ye Cai, became sinister and cunning, became hateful and detestable, but she was also her bosom friend!

  Liu Jiajia was extremely indignant, her anger unbearable. She wished she could grab the snacks on the table and the still warm milk tea, and throw them all at Ye Cai's head as he pretended to read his textbook.

  Ding ding ding......!

  The ringing sound lifted Ye Cai's line of sight, and the corner of her eye caught a dazed and infatuated gaze. Subconsciously, she met his eyes, but saw Li Wei shrink his neck slightly, then slowly relax, lightly lift the corners of his mouth, and nod slowly. A seemingly polite smile, amidst embarrassment and panic, stiffly avoided Ye Cai's inexplicable gaze.

  Dada...

  The plump-faced math teacher, Chu Yu Zhen, stepped onto the stage with her sturdy legs in high heels, solemnly pulled out the teaching materials from under her arm and placed them on the podium. With a very natural smile, she gazed at all the students below with confident eyes, "Class begins."

  Classmates stood up one after another lazily and nodded in respect, "Good morning, teacher."

  Chu Yu Zhen couldn't help but smile, lowering her eyes to cover it up, then looked up seriously and said: "Hello, fellow students."

  Just like the scene of a landslide, classmates sat down in disorder, some leaning against the table or wall, slightly raising their faces to look at the teacher on the podium.

  "Hmm...".

  They cast sidelong glances, and those classmates sat down with impatience. But not among them, Luo Li, who used to be enthusiastic about this, was extremely conventional today. His line of sight was always fixed on the profile of Ye Cai, whose performance in the pre-class teacher-student etiquette rituals was mediocre.

  Chu Yu Zhen roughly scanned the textbook, silently recalling the content of the previous lesson. Her gaze swept across the classroom, passing over a female student with an exaggerated expression of boredom on her face. She looked at the girl's desk again in surprise.

  A box of cookies, a bottle of milk tea, and a box of dairy drinks were quietly stacked in the corner of the desk, fearing that with just one touch, they would all fall off the desk.

  Chu Yu Zhen glared at Liu Jia Jia and said, "That classmate, put away the snacks."

  Under the curious and suspicious gaze of her classmates, Liu Jiajia lowered her head, after a moment of silence, she quickly grabbed those snacks and drinks and stuffed them into her desk drawer, without even lifting her head, making it impossible to see her expression.

  Withdrawing her gaze, Chu Yu Zhen coughed loudly and said: "Alright, this lesson we will mainly be discussing..."

  ……

  The serene and peaceful time, condensed under the restless and uneasy breathing, Ye Cai repeatedly looked back, what she saw was the cold face with lowered eyelashes covering her eyes.

  As soon as the bell rang, math teacher Chu Yu Zhen turned around and left. Liu Jia Jia immediately stood up, staring coldly at Ye Cai's back of the head, rummaged through her desk drawer for snacks, moved her body to make space, took big strides forward, and heavily placed them on Ye Cai's desk.

  Staring at Ye Cai's expressionless profile, he asked in a cold and angry tone: "What do you mean? You think you're very charming, don't you?"

  Ye Cai slowly raised her eyes, and after a moment, she smiled awkwardly and said, "What's up?"

  Liu Jiajia narrowed her eyes, and a hint of disdain and mockery flashed through the gap between them. She sneered: "Is that interesting? Are you still a man?"

  Ye Cai lowered her gaze, her eyes complex and entangled with thoughts. She glanced at the milk tea on the table, which had been shaken out of its brown liquid by the previous force, splashing onto the table. The box of papaya milk had also crawled out of its silk folds due to the same reason... These three things were like three explosives, making her feel sharp and piercing, causing her breathing to be rapid and tense, her heart a mess.

  "Yè cǎi I'm telling you now, I don't have any interest in you at all, so please! Please let her go, okay? I'm begging you..."

  Liu Jiajia's face was icy cold and impatient, with a tone of helplessness and disgust in her words. Her demeanor and speech exuded a strange emotion that spread throughout the classroom, lowering the air temperature, gathering all curiosity, and generating more and more speculation and whispers.

  Among the onlookers, Li Wei was the most eager to catch a glimpse, as if she wanted her tiptoes to grow several meters longer, just to get a look at the true face of Lushan.

  The strange atmosphere and the overly intense gaze made Ye Cai's breathing difficult, forcing her to respond quickly. She placed her hands under the table, interlocking her fingers and pressing them against each other, the exaggerated curvature seeming as if it would break her fingers. Finally, she took a deep breath, raised her eyes to look at Liu Jiajia's impatient and cold face, and awkwardly laughed: "No, I really didn't know it was one thing...".

  "Stop pretending to be something you're not!"

  Liu Jiajia suddenly burst out and shouted in anger, the aura of resentment that her delicate body possessed surged up, becoming overbearing and unstoppable. However, she couldn't maintain it for long under the weight of everyone's gaze in the classroom. In the end, she left Ye Cailu with a resentful glare before heavily sitting back down in her own seat.

  As Liu Jiajia left, Ye Cai shrugged his shoulders at the onlookers and pretended to be innocent.

  The dispute eventually came to nothing, and many classmates who were confused quickly returned to their previous state. However, those who were meticulous in their thoughts and loved gossip pretended to be disappointed in order to avoid suspicion, and then secretly observed from the shadows.

  A string of hasty footsteps sounded, Shi Yali walked quickly with an expression of incomprehension, bent down and asked Liu Jiajia about the situation in a low voice.

  Ye Cai glanced back at them with a tangled and self-reproachful gaze.

  Without warning, Li Wei walked up to her desk and stared at her in a daze, as if constantly questioning her in her heart.

  Ye Cai didn't understand the situation and forced a smile at Li Wei who was sitting at her desk in a daze.

  She sat upright, as if something was binding her, making her unable to move. Only her dull eyes would occasionally flash a silly light, and then glance at the milk tea and snacks on the table, before dejectedly lowering her eyelids, her gaze even more dim.

  "This, this, this...... did you buy it?" Li Wei forced a smile, glanced at the snacks on the table, and asked with wide eyes.

  Ye Cai raised her eyes, pulled down the corner of her mouth, and made no comment.

  "What's wrong, why aren't you eating?" Li Wei's right hand paused in sync with her words, then she let out a dry laugh. Seeing Ye Cai react the same way, she immediately picked up that cup of milk tea, opened her mouth as if crying and laughing at the same time, and only then squeezed out a laugh, saying: "That... give it to me, I... didn't eat breakfast, hehe..."

  She raised her eyes in surprise, watching Li Wei lower her head slightly, unhesitatingly sucking on the straw, and then heard a gurgling sound, while Li Wei stared at her with wide eyes, swallowing continuously, her pretty face flushing red like wisps of smoke.

  The whispers and comforting voices behind her were also suppressed by the sound of swallowing, Liu Jiajia and her best friend stared blankly at Li Wei, who was desperately drinking milk tea, with countless question marks swirling in their minds.

  In a moment, Liu Jiajia's eyes flashed with a faint surprise, which disappeared instantly, but her face followed and faded, no longer as silly as her best friend beside her.

  With a hiss, Li Wei finished her milk tea and took a few deep breaths, her face even redder. She noticed the stunned gazes around her, immediately lowered her head, grabbed the small bear-shaped cookies and melon-flavored milk from Ye Cai's table, and ran away with them in her arms.

  Ye Zai Mu saw her off into the distance, only to see the red nape of her neck under her hair, and involuntarily, his gaze followed her departing figure, falling into a deep and long daze.

  Outside the third window of the classroom.

  Luo Li's nose was stuck to the window, and he gritted his teeth in annoyance as Chu Yunfei carelessly pulled it open. Chu Yunfei said, "What are you looking at? It's just something between girls, what's a big deal for you..."

  Luoyi was taken aback, a phrase that made his heart skip a beat, as if someone had dug up a secret that only belonged to him. He stared blankly at Chuyunfei's profile, and after a moment of silence, he pretended to be amazed and sighed: "Wow! Brother Cao is really something, juggling two girls at once!"

  Chu Yunfei was taken aback, then shook his head helplessly, raised the corner of his mouth in mockery and said: "No way, little white face, very popular with girls..."

  But Luo Li did not echo his attitude, instead he fell into deep thought, lowering his eyes, then let out a disappointed sigh and slumped down, dejectedly dropping his shoulders.

  He bowed his head and was gently patted on the shoulder by Chu Yunfei, who comforted him not to be envious or resentful. He still gritted his teeth fiercely, as if unwilling to give up. Yes, he felt a sense of helpless defeat, extremely reluctant.

  All the girls came to fight with him for Ye Cai!

  How can this be snatched away like this?!

  How can we still have a sweet life together like this!?!

  He hated Liu Jiajia who was arrogant and thought she was above everyone else, and he also hated Li Wei who tried every means to seduce Ye Cai.

  He hated them, those two women, why were they competing with him for Ye Cai?!

  He's afraid again, what if Ye Cai has fallen in love with someone else?!
