ideal type
The moment Xu Feifei and Lin Yuan locked eyes, Xu Feifei felt a great sense of relief.
But then she glanced at the empty forest path, where all she could hear was the chirping of cicadas.
At that moment, it would be a lie to say she wasn't anxious. She had just arrived at the school and was already falling behind in her studies; she'd even been caught daydreaming in class before. She had originally planned to study hard, but after only one day, she was already late—it was hard to avoid attracting the teacher's attention.
Thinking of this, she panicked a little. She said somewhat timidly, "Let's hurry up, it's not good to be late for class."
"That works too," Lin Yuan smiled and nodded.
When the two returned to the classroom, the bell had already rung for five minutes.
Xu Feifei walked to the classroom door and called out to the teacher, "Teacher!"
She had expected the teacher to say something, but the teacher simply glanced at them and let them in.
When she returned to her seat, she found Nangong Ye and Zeng Hao staring at her intently, as if they wanted to ask her something.
Xu Feifei glanced at them strangely, then looked away and said to Lin Yuan with a sense of relief, "It's so great that the teacher isn't saying anything to us!"
Lin Yuan returned to her seat, took out a tissue and said to her, "Here, wipe your sweat. There was a reason for it, and the teacher won't mind."
"What's wrong?" Xu Feifei pulled out a tissue and looked at Lin Yuan with a puzzled expression.
"I called the teacher and told them that we need to check into the dormitory this afternoon, so we might be a little late."
"Ugh! Why didn't you say so earlier? I ran back like an idiot, and I even got all sweaty!" Xu Feifei recalled her flustered state at the time, covered her face with a tissue used to wipe her sweat, and complained indignantly.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I'll definitely mention it next time."
"Hmph, there won't be a next time." Xu Feifei pouted and crossed her arms, pretending to be angry.
Less than two seconds later, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Xu Feifei, stand up and answer this question."
A sudden clap of thunder startled Xu Feifei, leaving her mind blank. She looked towards Lin Yuan with pleading eyes; Lin Yuan had just returned and was unsure where they were in their conversation.
Lin Yuan asked the student in front of her, "Where is the teacher at now?"
Just then, Zeng Hao's voice came quietly from a distance, "Choose B!"
Xu Feifei heard this, secretly gave him a thumbs up, and said to the teacher, "Choose B!"
"Read out the options!"
Xu Feifei panicked instantly. Lin Yuan circled the options and handed her the book. After reading it, the teacher nodded, indicating that she could sit down.
"You've been back for so long, you need to catch up! Okay, let's look at the next question." The teacher gave her a warning look and continued the lesson.
Xu Feifei pouted and took out her textbook to attend class seriously. For some reason, ever since she came into this world, her teachers had paid a lot of attention to her.
I didn't feel this way while reading the novel. But shouldn't this special attention be enjoyed by the male and female protagonists?
Could it be the butterfly effect?
As soon as the bell rang, an older man called out from the doorway, "Lin Yuan, come to my office now."
After getting up, Lin Yuan walked out with a frown and a rather irritated expression.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zeng Hao leaned close to Xu Feifei and whispered, "I heard that my goddess is going to watch a basketball game this time, is that right?"
Xu Feifei nodded.
The surprise came so suddenly that Zeng Hao unconsciously raised his voice after hearing it: "Wow, yay!"
People around noticed this and looked over curiously.
Xu Feifei laughed and said, "What? You participated in the basketball game too?"
"Yes! I've always been active on the front lines at school!"
Zeng Hao asked curiously, "However, how did my goddess agree to go watch the game? Many people have invited her before, but she has been ruthlessly rejected."
During her time with Lin Yuan, Xu Feifei noticed that Lin Yuan spoke to others in a detached manner and did not like to participate in activities.
I'd heard Zhang Jiayi mention before that Lin Yuan was an "ice queen." In the world of Mary Sue novels, people with that title are usually cold and aloof. It seems Lin Yuan truly is a cold and aloof goddess.
However, during her conversation with Lin Yuan, she didn't notice anything aloof about her; she was practically always there to answer her questions and fulfill her requests. It seemed Lin Yuan considered her a good friend.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Zeng Hao waved his hand in front of her and called out, "Hey!"
Xu Feifei then came to her senses and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
Zeng Hao repeated, "How did you convince Lin Yuan?"
"I got things done based on my looks, and I won over Lin Yuan with my beauty," Xu Feifei joked.
After hearing this, Zeng Hao wanted to tell her to stop being so narcissistic. But when he looked into Lin Yuan's eyes, they were bright and sparkling, truly beautiful. Her fair face and smiling, captivating eyes were mesmerizing.
Xu Feifei was startled by his sudden closeness. She stepped back a little, feeling a chill run down her spine from his intense gaze.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Nangong Ye grabbed Zeng Hao's collar and pulled him back.
Nangong Ye's appearance relieved her discomfort.
Zeng Hao ignored Nangong Ye, straightened his collar and said, "Feifei, I've noticed you're quite pretty too."
Xu Feifei was secretly delighted, and said proudly, "Of course."
Nangong Ye glanced at it a few times and scoffed, "I think it's just so-so!"
Xu Feifei said unhappily, "Then I can only say that you have really high standards!"
Nangong Ye said smugly, "The more you see, the higher your standards naturally become!"
"Feifei, do you know where Lin Yuan went?" Lin Xier asked as she walked over.
Xu Feifei glanced at Lin Xier. Wasn't this the most beautiful woman in the male lead's eyes? She silently compared her looks with the female lead's and still felt that she was prettier than the female lead.
Wait, this is definitely not narcissism. This is something that was written in countless old Mary Sue novels: as long as the female lead isn't wearing makeup, the second female lead is always the school beauty, the prettiest one. Of course, if the female lead does her makeup and dresses well, that's a different story.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; each flower has its own unique charm, and there's no single standard. Everyone's aesthetic sense is different. She thought Lin Yuan was beautiful too! She seemed aloof, like a high-and-mighty flower in a novel. Of course, the female lead was also quite good.
Lin Xi'er noticed that Xu Fei was smiling inexplicably at her face, and she was a little confused. She wanted to ask her why she was staring at her and smiling.
As a result, Zeng Hao interrupted her, "Lin Yuan had something to do and was called away by the director."
"Okay, Feifei, could you please pass on this message to me? The English teacher wants to see her."
"Uh-huh."
Xu Feifei glanced at Lin Xier's back, then at the male lead, noticing he was also staring at her. Knowing the answer already, she asked, "Your ideal type?"
"What?" Nangong Ye didn't hear what she just said.
"Your ideal type?" Xu Feifei asked again.
Zeng Hao stood to the side, watching Nangong Ye with amusement.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Nangong Ye's voice suddenly rose two octaves as he hurriedly said, "Oh, and remember to tell Lin Yuan what I just said!"
He left after saying that.
Judging from his behavior, Xu Feifei felt that the male lead was most likely interested in the female lead.
"My English teacher came to see my goddess again, it must be about the English competition!" Zeng Hao said confidently.
"How so?" Xu Feifei asked, following his words.
“Our school takes this English competition very seriously. Last year, we lost to B Middle School, which is your school, and were thoroughly humiliated by them. This year, we’re determined to redeem ourselves. We had a great chance of winning last year, but unfortunately, we had someone who dragged us down,” Zeng Hao whispered.
"What was originally a sure thing has turned into an 80% chance. If my goddess gets in, then it will be a 100% chance. So my English teacher has been asking my goddess to compete with me, and has asked her several times already, but she has refused each time."
"Lin Yuan's English grades are very good?"
"My goddess's grades..."
The bell rang for class.
"Ranked first in the grade, and firmly there." Zeng Hao said this and quickly returned to his seat.
After returning to his seat, he didn't forget to turn back, give a thumbs-up, and repeat, "First in the grade!"
Zeng Hao's action amused Xu Feifei. It seems Zeng Hao is Lin Yuan's number one fan! No, he's a male fan!
The school bell had rung for some time, and Xu Feifei looked at Lin Yuan's empty seat; she hadn't returned yet.
Who was that uncle who just looked for Lin Yuan? Was he the director? What did he want with Lin Yuan?
Xu Feifei became increasingly confused, so she simply stopped thinking about it and focused on the lesson. She was afraid of being caught by the teacher again for daydreaming; she really didn't want to be caught again.
After the class ended, Lin Yuan still hadn't returned. Xu Feifei looked around and around the corridor, making sure no teachers were there, then secretly texted Lin Yuan on her phone.
I originally wanted to ask, "Where did you go?", but then I thought it didn't sound quite right, so I deleted it and rewrote it: "Where are you now? When are you coming back?"
Thinking about it again, something seems off, like I'm checking up on someone, so I want to delete it again.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside: "Good morning, Director!"
The sound startled Xu Feifei so much that she almost jumped out of her skin. She frantically covered the phone with a book.
"Is Xu Feifei here?" the director asked as he walked up to the podium.
"I am here."
"Come out for a moment." The director went out and waited in the corridor.
"Okay." Xu Feifei followed the director out, her heart pounding wildly, her palms sweating, her whole body pounding with anxiety, thinking she was going to be caught playing on her phone.
After going outside, I saw the director looking at me kindly and asking with a smile, "I heard you went to see the dormitory at noon. Are you satisfied with the dormitory environment?"
"I'm...I'm...satisfied." Xu Feifei stammered nervously.
The director noticed her nervousness and said with a kind smile, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking how you're adjusting to school!"
After confirming that the director wasn't looking for her phone, Xu Feifei gradually calmed down and said, "It's great, the environment is nice, the people are nice, and the food is delicious!"
"That's good! I'm relieved. If you encounter any problems at school, remember to come find me." The director chuckled and patted her shoulder.
For some reason, Xu Feifei felt a little disgusted by this movement, and took a step back, saying, "Yes, Director!"
After noticing her little actions, the director pretended not to see them and said, "Then I'm fine, you can go back now! Study hard!" Then he turned and left.
After he walked away, Xu Feifei patted the spot where he had touched her and went back to her class.
"Why did Director Ma come to see you?" Zeng Hao asked when she returned.
"Was that Director Ma just now? He asked me if I was settling in well at school."
After returning to her seat, Xu Feifei took out her phone, which was hidden in her book, opened WeChat, and saw that the message she had just sent had been sent.
She was so frightened that she wanted to retreat immediately, but it was too late. Her heart was now filled with panic, a little tension, and a tiny bit of anticipation.
But when the class bell rang, I was the only one who sent that message, and I felt a little disappointed.
Lin Yuan still hadn't returned by the time school was over.
