Chapter 3 - Qin Yanmei (Part 3)

When Yi Rong got to her classroom, she found that Gao Qi and Sun Guo had saved her a seat in the back corner. Honestly, they were the best best friends. Since Yi Rong was a bit late, Gao Qi asked her about the reason. Yi Rong replied with an angry look, "Long Dandan." Sun Guo dismissed her saying that he had got some news... about Qin Yanmei. Sun Guo had a huge crush on the world-famous actress, Qin Yanmei. Yi Rong asked him about the "news" about his crush. She got to know that Qin Yanmei had announced that she was taking a break from acting so she could go back to school. Uninterested by the actress Yi Rong made a 'so what?' face. So Qin Yanmei had said that she wanted to experience a regular high school life. Again Yi Rong made that same 'so what?' face. Sun Guo couldn't control his excitement anymore and burst out with a foolish smile on his face saying that Qin Yanmei had enrolled to their school! And maybe if they were lucky, they might even be classmates. But Yi Rong had seen the real faces of many big screen artists. She crushed Sun Guo's dreams by replying that Qin Yanmei was a huge actress and wouldn't even speak to them mortals.

At that moment, the teacher entered the class commanding everyone to settle down. she announce that they had a new student there with them that day, so everyone in the class was supposed make her feel welcomed. Gao Qi got an intuition and mumble, "No way..." while Sun Guo exclaimed, "It's her! It's Qin Yanmei." Yi Rong looked up and was drawn in by a familiar face. Confused she muttered to herself, "Cui Ting?" Cui Ting looked at her direction and waved at her greeting her by saying, "Hey, stranger". Yi Rong asked her what was she doing there. Cui Ting sat down next to her, but didn't reply at first. Yi Rong decided to press the issue and repeated her question. Once again, Cui Ting didn't reply, staring intently at what the teacher was writing on the board. Class went by quickly, but it was not until after everyone else left that Cui Ting finally replied.

Cui Ting was a bit embarrassed and apologized to Yi Rong justifying her actions by saying that she wasn't great at talking when she was surrounded by people. That's why she was known as the Ice Princess. Yi Rong smiled at her and accepted her apology. But she expressed her sadness by asking Cui Ting why she had introduced herself as Cui Ting when she was actually Qin Yanmei. Cui Ting replied that Cui Ting was her real name while Qin Yanmei was her stage name. Yi Rong hadn't recognized her, so she felt safe while giving her her real name. Cui Ting slightly warned Yi Rong to use her real name only when they were talking in private. She didn't want everyone to know her name. Yi Rong nodded in agreement. The second bell rang, and Cui Ting stood up abruptly. She said that she was gonna be late for her next class so she had to go. Hopefully, they would see each other around.

Cui Ting left, and Yi Rong settled in for the rest of your class day, but it passed in a breeze as she thought about Cui Ting. She headed to her locker after her last class. But an annoying encounter was waiting for her. Spoiling her good mood Yi Rong snapped, "What do you want, Long Dandan?" To this Long Dandan replied that she just wanted to be friends and Yi Rong shouldn't give her a cold shoulder. Yi Rong had to repeat her question again, but this time with more annoyance. Weirdly enough Long Dandan asked her about her preferences in girls and what did she look for in a girl. Fuming with anger Yi Rong hissed at her saying that she should come and talk to her when she was ready to admit that she was gay as well. She was speaking more but was cut off by a phone call.
