Chapter 6.1
Gossip ForumPa.s.sersby A and B looked at me like I was a monkey in a zoo . Finally, they agreed, “Yeah, much better looking than in the photo . ”
Photo???
I glared at Zhong Yuan . “You showed them my picture?” And a very awful one at that!
Zhong Yuan looked at the boys innocently . “Where did you guys find her photo?”
Pa.s.serby A answered, “Someone posted pictures of you two eating together on the school forums . That post’s really hot… Zhong Yuan, you didn’t know? Ey, Junior Mu Er, you didn’t know either?”
I shook my head . Then I glanced over to the just-as-lost Zhong Yuan and asked, “What post?”
Advertis.e.m.e.ntPa.s.serby B piped up, “Go online and take a look . It’s sitting right on the front page of the forum . And it’s been there for a few days . ” He pulled at Pa.s.serby A’s arm . “We’re off . Junior, you two, enjoy your chat… Zhong Yuan, make sure to get me an exclusive pic of you two . No need if it’s too mature . ” And then the two boys slinked off just as sneakily as they’d come .
My face was red . I looked to Zhong Yuan and said, “That… You can’t give them my picture!”
Zhong Yuan smiled slightly . With a laugh, he said, “Well, that’ll depend on how well you listen . ”
d.a.m.n it . Zhong Yuan just found another excuse to bully me .
After the Pa.s.sersby left, another figure suddenly floated into the seat next to me . I turned to find the vice president of our school’s Environmental Alliance Club . She was a third-year and also very plucky .
Once I saw the vice president, I immediately put on my flattering face . “Senior Ling Ling, what a coincidence!”
Senior Ling Ling first smiled sweetly at Zhong Yuan before turning to greet me .
I didn’t know what I ought to say next . While I admired the vice president, I’d only ever spoken to her a few times, and we weren’t very close .
But Senior Ling Ling pat my bald head as if were very good friends and complimented me on the new hairdo . Just as I was at my wit’s end, she finally delivered a piece of good news . I was so excited that I didn’t even feel like finishing my meal .
She told me that I’d won a prize .
The Environmental Alliance Club was organizing a ‘get close to nature’ camping trip . I’d really wanted to partic.i.p.ate, but all the students going would have to pay a fee for tent rentals and meal supplies, etc . And at the time, I was pretty short on money and could only walk away dejected . But then the club held a school-wide raffle to publicize the event . If your name was pulled out, you could go on the trip for free . Although the chances were small, I still held onto that small sliver of hope that I might win . I was really excited at first, but because the chances weren’t great, I forgot about the whole thing after a few days . Who’d have thought that this kind of news would suddenly smack me on the head today? I felt really happy but also a bit dizzy .
Senior Ling Ling pat me on the shoulder and smiled . “Congratulations, Mu Er . Starting today, you’ll be partic.i.p.ating in our training . Camping requires a certain physical strength . ”
I looked at her with sparkling eyes and nodded my head .
Senior Ling Ling gave a charming look to Zhong Yuan . She smiled and said, “Zhong Yuan ah, we still have a spot to attend for free . Are you interested?”
I grabbed Senior Ling Ling’s arm and looked at her incredulously . Weren’t the free spots filled by a lottery pick? Senior, has your brain short-circuited?
Zhong Yuan politely returned her smile and said, “Thank you, but I think I’ll pa.s.s . ”
I quietly let out a breath . Having Zhong Yuan out of sight was such a marvelous thing . I grew more excited about the camping trip .
But then Zhong Yuan asked, “Blockhead, you wouldn’t want me to go, would you?”
I was still stuck in the pleasant surprise of Zhong Yuan having rejected Senior Ling Ling’s offer, so I didn’t catch on to his plans yet . Without realizing it, I nodded and replied, “Of course not . ”
Then Zhong Yuan smiled and said, “Then I should go . ”
I was speechless .
Senior Ling Ling hugged me and excitedly shouted, “Good job, Junior!”
Let go of me . I’m not your junior .
