Chapter 255 It sucks

Han Zixin was entering the school gate when he heard someone calling his name. He turned his head to find Yang Zi coming his way with a small smile on his face.

“Han Zixin, I see you here and thought of saying a hi, ” Yang Zi smiled.

Han Zixin furrowed his brows and stared at her. He didn’t think that the two of them were close enough to be saying hi or hello to each other. However, he still didn’t behave rudely with her and politely nodded his head before taking a step ahead.

“Wait, ” Yang Zi said, making him stop in his footsteps.

“Do you have something to say?” Han Zixin asked her.

Yang Zi fell silent. She wanted to talk to him but she didn’t know what she wanted to talk to him about. She was completely and utterly rendered speechless by his presence merely.

“Do you want to have coffee with me?” Yang Zi said after a long time.

“My family doesn’t allow me to eat or drink with strangers, ” Han Zixin said, leaving.

“I only want to ask how your music classes are going?” Yang Zi asked. “I heard you are taking classes under Mr Yang, Yang Mei’s father. You know he is a good teacher but he can’t teach what you need. You are a born star. You can rule the music industry one day.”

“Miss Yang, if you are here to say Mr Chen’s words, I can assure you that I will not change my decision, ” Han Zixin told her clearly.

Yang Zi didn’t know why she didn’t like when he called her Miss Yang. If not this, what should he be calling her? She couldn’t decide on this.

“You can’t let your talent go to waste, ” Yang Zi said, panicked.

“So?” He raised his brow. “I’m merely a seventeen years old boy. I have to clear High school first. I’m too young to get involved in the entertainment circle.”

“Are your parents not in favour of you entering the entertainment circle?” Yang Zi asked him. She could say that the Han family was a family full of weird people with weird rules and regulations.

“My parents are long gone. I’m an orphan, “Han Zixin retorted. “If there is nothing else, I will take my leave. Thank you for your concern, Miss Yang but no thank you.”

This time, Yang Zi couldn’t stop him because he didn’t spare her any glance and he was in a hurry to leave. She sighed in resignation when she saw him retiring. She had to make him understand that he was wasting away his talent and he shouldn’t do it. No, she wouldn’t let him do this.

On Song Xueyun’s side, the rumours about her and Li Sicheng were getting wilder with each passing moment but she didn’t do anything to stop it. She behaved as if she didn’t hear or see things out of proportion.

She came to class this morning with a small smile on her face when she saw Lu Xuan standing near her desk.

“Oh, you need something?” Song Xueyun nonchalantly asked him.

“No, ” Lu Xuan said. “Can’t I come to talk to you without needing something?”

Song Xueyun widely smiled at him, completely different from her own self. “Of course, you can. But you don’t. You don’t come to me if you don’t need anything.” His expression worsened with each passing word. “What I mean is we are so busy in classes that we can’t even contact each other if we don’t need anything from each other.”

Lu Xuan blinked his eyes as he didn’t find anything to say to her.

“Anyways, what are you looking for?” Song Xueyun next said.

“I’m here just to ask you how you are doing, ” Lu Xuan said.

“Oh, thank you for asking. I have been doing quite good, ” Song Xueyun replied.

“Are you sure?” Lu Xuan asked.

“Of course, ” Song Xueyun answered.

“I saw rumours on the school forum, ” Lu Xuan initiated the topic that he had been meaning to ask. He had been seeing the rumours in the school forum about Song Xueyun and Li Sicheng dating. If it had been a few months ago, the puppy love team would have caught them but even since An Xiulan was stripped of her duties, there hadn’t been an effective vice-president or president of the puppy love committee to enforce the rules and regulations well.

“Oh, ” Song Xueyun lazily reacted.

Before Lu Xuan could ask her if those rumours were true, Li Sicheng entered the class and found Lu Xuan standing near his seat.

“Class representative, this is my seat, ” Li Sicheng said as he put his bag next to Song Xueyun’s.

At this moment, Lu Xuan felt as if Li Sicheng stripped him of his tag of Song Xueyun’s closest friend and took his spot. He didn’t know why he didn’t like being replaced by someone like this douchebag who once insulted his brother.

“Xueyun, I brought something cool for you, ” Li Sicheng said, completely ignoring the boy standing near him.

“Really, what?” Song Xueyun said excitedly. Soon both of them began immersing themselves in a conversation and forgot about Lu Xuan.

On An Xiulan’s side, it was the time for PT period while the girls were running as per the student’s orders. However, she was sitting on the bleachers today. Her face was pale and she was rubbing the hot water bottle on her stomach.

Periods suck.

Her Internet search suggested she should exercise to get rid of cramps but she would rather lie on the bench and cry about her misery.

She saw Qiao Wei coming her way with a big smile.

“Xiuxiu, I told PT sir that I got my periods, ” Qiao Wei grinned. “Now let’s go to the washroom or he will think I lied.”

“Did you lie?” An Xiulan whispered with big wide eyes.

“Just once, ” Qiao Wei whispered back. “Now let’s go to the washroom.”

“Okay, but let me stand up first, ” An Xiulan said. She gently stood up with a smile on her face looking at her classmates on the ground and said to her friend, “Look at my skirt and see if there is a spot.”

Qiao Wei huffed. “Girl, you are wearing a black skirt.”

“Uhuh, ” An Xiulan sheepishly smiled. “You know, I can’t help it. Let’s go to the bathroom together.” Instead of going to the bathroom, they headed toward the cafeteria. She sat at the table and Qiao Wei brought them snacks and drinks.

Qiao Wei slapped An Xiulan’s hand when she saw her taking the strawberry milkshake.

“Don’t even look at it, ” Qiao Wei said. “There is no hot drink that you can drink.”

An Xiulan pouted but still grabbed the milkshake. She began sipping on it, much to someone’s dissatisfaction.

“Don’t cry later that your stomach is aching, ” Qiao Wei said with a huff.

“I wonder why periods can’t leave once they make their purpose clear, ” An Xiulan mumbled. She ate nonstop for the next ten minutes because she felt like crying and eating at the same time. Since she couldn’t cry here for no reason at all, she munched on food no tomorrow.

“Stop eating. You will get fat, “Qiao Wei warned her.

Of course, An Xiulan didn’t listen. It was her day.

After the PT class, it was lunch break and soon many students made their way to the cafeteria.

“You look like shit, ” Mona said as soon as she sat on the chair. Her face was red after staying in sunlight for so long. “Even more than me.”

“Xiao Lan, is it a pimple, ” Song Ci gasped as she pointed her finger at An Xiulan’s face. Then, a grin spread on her face. “I don’t feel bad now. You have three big pimples on your face.”

“Stop being mean to her, ” Shen Yue said as she sat with the girls. “I heard the cafeteria was serving chicken today but it was gone before we arrived.”

An Xiulan and Qiao Wei shared a look and played innocent as if they hadn’t eaten more than their share. All they had to do was charm the food serving auntie and she would add more chicken pieces to their plates.

“Did you bring lunch today?” Shen Yue asked An Xiulan.

“I came from dad’s house, ” An Xiulan said. “I didn’t ask Auntie to pack lunch for me.”

“Oh yeah?” Shen Yue furrowed her brow. “I saw Lu Xuan bringing two lunch boxes from your driver. I thought you got your lunch box.”

“I didn’t, ” An Xiulan said in a small voice.
