Mo Lihua really planned to stay away from the loving couple. One, because her remaining college life would be much easier.
Two, because Mo Lihua was not a masochist who wanted to get hurt every time Yu Qiao showed his affection to his dissociative identity disorder girlfriend, aka, Zang Fei. The pain would probably be more than a permanent tattoo can give.
It would be a good time to make Yu Qiao realize that his dream girl is not what he imagines but it is just a waste of time to talk him out of his delusion. S since Yu Qiao is madly in love with Zang Fei.
Yu Qiao only got a chance to court Zang Fei after she broke up with her previous boyfriend. She was single for less than two days at that time.
Mo Lihua does not even know why she is a subject for jealousy after so many times of being branded as ugly.
The couple is probably really meant to be together, as both are too confusing for Mo Lihua.
It took longer than she thought to remove most of the pink powder on her face. Miraculously, Mo Lihua was able to persuade Zang Fei to leave her alone in the meantime.
"Tsk. Thank you for the added features on my makeup, b*tchface," Mo Lihua whispered sarcastically as she inspected her face using the front camera of her mobile phone.
The class had already started but Mo Lihua was still hiding inside one of the cubicles in the girl's restroom, pondering what to do next.
It should be easy to completely remove the pink powder, but she was more concerned about the makeup under it. If she continues, the fake freckles and dark marks will also be gone, which is not a good thing for her.
However, if she doesn't remove it soon, who knows if the powder has other ingredients that might infect the scratches on her face.
Mo Lihua took out her phone to call someone who immediately answered with just a ring.
"Pick me up," Mo Lihua requested of the person on the other line.
Mo Lihua released a deep breath, "That settles it," she whispered to herself after deciding that it is best to just go home. Her only problem now is to make sure no one else sees her leave school.
"Bzzz." Her phone suddenly vibrated, indicating a text message.
"Wer r u?π" A message arrived from Fei Yan, who she considered a good friend, then another stream of messages came.
"U left me. π’"
"U forgot about me. π‘"
"How dare u? π’π’"
"Did dey hurt you again?! Grrr! πΊπΊπΊCurse them!"
"Y r u not replying?! πΏπΏ Hey!"
Mo Lihua was dumbfounded, then she smiled helplessly. How can she reply if she is being spammed with messages?
Phone use is forbidden during class, but she knows that Fei Yan keeps on messaging her because of worry.
Mo Lihua was composing a message to explain when a new one came in.
"How r u? π¨ later?" A message from Yu Qiao. It is his way of making her feel better as she loves sweets, especially strawberry ice cream.
"Nope. Goin home." Mo Lihua typed and replied immediately as continues to chant, 'Stay away' silently.
"Wil bring it 2 u. ππ," he replied shortly, indicating that he will visit her at home later.
Mo Lihua bit her lower lip in frustration. Yu Qiao is always caring, as he treats her like the little sister that he never had as if she wants to be his little sister.
"I will expect more if you are so kind to me," Mo Lihua whispered. The more Yu Qiao showed that he cared about her, the more she fell for him, and eventually her life would become more miserable. Zang Fei will make sure of it.
Mo Lihua realized that it is much better if she stays away, not only because of Zang Fei but for herself too.
She will never tell him how much she loves him - not as a brother, but as a woman to a man.
Yes, that is her dirty little secret, which Zang Fei accidentally learned, so Mo Lihua might as well take the plan of staying away very seriously.
She knows Yu Qiao will never feel any form of romantic love for her, and she could not face Yu Qiao again in the future if he ever learned about it.
"Nope, tnx. Diet." Mo Lihua replied, hoping that Yu Qiao will be understanding towards her, just like how he supports Zang Fei's food choices because of her torturous diet.
"Pfft! ππ! Unless u r hiding a bf! Impossible!ππ" Yu Qiao responded mockingly, hurting Mo Lihua's feelings.
Her eyes burned due to the ache of her heart. Impossible? She blinks multiple times as she tries not to cry, then replied to him, "Yes. I hav a boyfriend." Mo Lihua lied.
