Chapter 226 Cringe or romantic

Han Zixin and Lu Xuan were standing in the principal office with lowered heads when the teacher was lecturing both of them about the consequences of puppy love. He began this great lecture by saying how he had no problem with homosexuality and he and the teachers of his school weren’t that closed minds.

Also, how they all were progressing day by day with the fast-growing world. However, the teacher insisted that they put a halt on their love because they were still in school and they must wait until they pass high school.

Never had ever had both of them had this dire urge to beat the devil who was the reason behind all of this misunderstanding.

First of all, they couldn’t understand what was going on and why it was going on. All they knew was people were mistaking both of them as a….couple? And Lu Xuan’s sister had a big hand in it. It was only after they found out that An Xiulan was called to the principal’s office for the offence of beating senior boys did they find out about the video viral on the school forum. However, before they could react, the principal had already called both of them to the office.

Before they could ask for Justice, they heard the great speech that An Xiulan was giving to the principal as the embodiment of justice and righteousness. Oh not only this, she had taken her role of ambassador of LGBTQ too seriously. It was a good thing to know about world matters and vulnerable societies…. But start a speech everywhere, especially where it wasn’t needed?

Now because of her, the entire student was believing that Lu Xuan and Han Zixin were a couple.

Once the principal lecture ended, he looked at An Xiulan and Han Zixin and said, “From today onwards, you are no longer the president and vice president of the puppy love committee. Instead of stopping puppy love, you ended up promoting it. Submit your badges to the concerned teacher.”

“Why?” An Xiulan cried as she looked at the principal. “Sir, the world is cruel and you are being cruel to us poor and unprivileged children. Just for one case, you will dismiss us? We saved the lives of a couple of children. We were doing social work by saving children from the ditch of puppy love but you still want us to submit our badges? Why why why?”

“You should have thought about it before beating the senior students, ” The principal said, narrowing his eyes at her. “This is your punishment. As for Lu Xuan and Han Zixin, they will clean toilets for the whole week.”

“But sir, my brother and Han Zixin are candidates for the upcoming music contest. They can’t afford to waste time on cleaning toilets, ” An Xiulan said. “Han Zixin will sing and Lu Xuan will dance to his tunes.”

An Xiulan’s face crinkled.

[Why are her words sounding weird to her? Nevermind.]

Hearing the words, the principal’s face blackened. Music contest? Hah! They were still thinking of romancing under his nose? Never!

He looked at the students and said, “Lu Xuan is now a student of Class A of Eleven grade. He can’t take part in a dance contest. If Han Zixin is signing, Lu Xuan can’t dance! This is final. Go to your classes and focus on your studies, not romance at such a small age!”

The three of them left the principal office with lowered heads. As she raised her head, she saw how sad and devastated her brother and a best friend looked.

She tugged on their sleeves and said, “Little Xuan, Little Zixin, so what if you are gays, Jiejie still loves you.”

“An Xiulan!!!!!” Lu Xuan and Han Zixin thundered at the same time.

In the school dispensary, Ji Mao’er was lying on the bed crying her heart out. She looked beautiful and pitiful while crying that nobody could bear a beauty like her to cry. She was tugging at everyone’s heart with her pitiful cries and ugly tears.

“Mao’er, stop crying already, ” Qiao Wei, who was accompanying the girl said while patting her head. “You should not cry anymore. Tell this Jie who bullied you?”

Ji Mao’er cried even more. “The boy I love…he loves someone else. What should I do? I –“

Qiao Wei’s extra romantic heart did a flip in her chest. “Oh Mao’er, the relationship between a man and a woman is always fickle. Even if he loves you, there will either be a white moonlight in his life or a flaming red and passionate love. You will never be alone in his heart. Wipe your precious pearls and don’t waste them on a man who left you for someone else.”

Ji Mao’er’s heart was aggrieved. She couldn’t decipher in words how much she hated Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan snatched her love from her. She loved Han Zixin from the moment she saw him. For her, he came like a white knight and saved her from the fall.

“I was like a moth and he was the flame, ” Ji Mao’er cried. “I tried to redeem myself for him. I quit being a villain just to get his love. Why? Just why does he have to love someone else? Am I that bad? I agree that I did some bad things and I will blame it on my naive and snobby attitude but I really was changing for the better for him. What should I do? How can I see him loving someone else?”

“Oh, Mao’er, although I have never been in love, I have experienced love each time I read a new book, ” Qiao Wei said, patting her back. She was a Yaoi Lover for sure as she added, “The love between a man and woman is fickle but when an Oppa loves another Oppa, it is eternal. No green tea bitch or white lotus can separate them.”

“Wuhuhu….”Ji Mao’er cried. “He loves someone else because I am a white lotus? I don’t want to live.”

Ji Mao’er ran from the dispensary towards the bathroom. Instead of following her, Qiao Wei began looking for help. She found Shen Yue and dragged her with her.

“Will you at least tell me what happened?” Shen Yue asked as Qiao Wei dragged her to the bathroom.

“I am afraid that Ji Mao’er is going to commit suicide by drinking phenyl, ” Qiao Wei said. She has read in the novel that the male lead by betrayed by the other male lead and then the first lead tried to commit suicide in the school bathroom by drinking Phenyl. Although he was saved by the male lead, he lost his voice. His love proved his love for him by staying with him all his life.

What if Ji Mao’er did something like this?

At least her Oppa had another Oppa to take care of him but who did Ji Mao’er have? Even her unrequited love was taken away.

No, no, she couldn’t let Ji Mao’er do this stupidity.

Meanwhile in Class Eleven A.

Lu Xuan was sitting at his desk with a dark face. He was so angry that he wanted to beat someone. What does he do now? What if Teacher Yang misunderstood him? He couldn’t understand why he was so interested in her all the time. She was on his mind 24/7.

He gasped. Could it be that he was in love?

Oh my God, he couldn’t understand how he fell in love so easily.

What does he do now? He had to tell the teacher that he had no interest in Han Zixin, that asshole at all. He only loved her. Yes, he had long past the line of liking. He was in love. He didn’t know if he should cry or laugh about this fact.

Never mind, he would wait for the correct timing to meet her and tell her that it was only a misunderstanding.

He sat on his desk as if he was getting pricked by pins all the period. When the free period finally arrived, he ran out of the class and headed toward the music department to meet her.

Before he could enter the threshold of the music department, the principal was making a round there holding his stick.

“S-sir?” Lu Xuan shuddered.

“Lu Xuan!!!” The principal shouted at him in anger. He knew that this boy would come to meet another boy for sure and so he was doing this surprise round.

As if the matter of morning wasn’t enough, now all the students of all the classes were discussing how Lu Xuan, like a brave soldier, went to the music department only to have one glimpse of Han Zixin.

To the boys, it was cringe.

To the girls, it was romantic.

From a distance, Gu Shangyan and Song Xueyun exchanged a look and sighed. They didn’t know how to resolve this misunderstanding. If they began solving this misunderstanding, it would be like sprinkling oil on a fire.
