Chapter 4 - Love of life, Qiang Lu!

While I was waiting for the elevator to arrive-

"-Beep-beep!"

"Huh?"

I receive a message on my phone. I take it out of my pocket and switch it on, finding out that it's a text message from a certain someone.

Yes, a certain someone who can raise the curves of my lips joyously.

"Hi Jinghe Lu, there's something that I need to talk with you about. It's been bothering me for quite a while so I thought about lightening the weight of my heart by sharing with you. Can we meet up at Lan Qi'e park during the evening at seven? I would be waiting for you.

-From Qiang Lu"

That's what the message I received said. It was on Lime.

"So you finally decided upon your decision huh... Qiang."

It's been two years since I was rejected for being ugly, ever since then I worked hard to achieve good looks and fame.

But first impression is the last impression, which is why soon after graduating from middle school I transferred into a high school, far away from my previous one.

So that I don't bump into anyone I know from the middle school.

To make thinks easier, my parents were also shifting home so my new high school isn't too far away, which is why it's easy to go by walk too.

I created a great impression of myself right on the very day of my transfer.

As soon as I stepped my foot ahead at the school gate, the girls began staring at me, dumbstruck by my looks.

The boys had visible black clouds of jealousy over there head and even the female teachers could not help but bite there lower lip and shake there hand in attraction for me.

I became the coolest and the most popular boy in highschool from that day onwards.

No one can beat me when it comes to looks, I have the most followers and admirers compared to any other student.

And this message that I got from Qiang Lu, is one of the great examples of my charm.

Lu Qiang, age- seventeen. She's a year younger then me. Her charms are the very reason why she would be so much compatible with me.

She has silky and long silver hair, along with a smooth fair face. Her pupils glister like purple emerald and her lips are as sweet and pink as flower.

She has a perfect figure accounted with medium sized breasts. Curvy hips and smooth long legs.

She's the most beautiful woman anyone could ever find in my school.

I have tried all I could to get close to her. I studied and investigated what she like and dislikes, her behavior, her real personality.

And thanks to my big brain, using all of those knowledge I become one of her most closest friend.

She acknowledges me as her closest friend and even shares most of her secrets with me.

Of course, become her closest friend of hers isn't what I seek. What I seek is her ripe cherry which is awaiting to be popped.

Once I pop it, my whole life would become just perfect!

For quitte a while, she has been acting pretty strange around me.

It was just yesterday at school when I actually notice her behavior change-

I was walking through the school corridor along with my best friend, Hui Ye.

His left arm was wrapped around my neck and it was actually making me quite uncomfortable, specially during this sweltering heat. But I still managed it in hopes of not making him sad.

"Heya Jinghe~ did you complete the assignments given by our biology wrapped around my neck.

"Y-Yes I did... What about you?" I reply while trying to control my anger and wish to yell at him to get his sweaty darned hand off me.

"That's cool! I completed my work as well!"

Hui Ye is a cheerful boy with a goofy personality. He has ruby like red eyes and blonde hair.

He is the second most popular boy in our school, ranking after me.

And surprisingly the same can be said about his academic results.

I had once saved him from getting hit by a truck, ever since then we have become close friends.

"By the way Hui... "

"What's the matter?" he asked pulling my neck closer to him.

"D-Don't you think it's quite hot in here?"

"Huh? Hot?" He takes a look at the sky through the window and replies "I don't think so"

"But there are literal bright rays of sun actually frying a chicken!"

"Who cares! Haha!"

I turn my head away and grit teeth controlling my anger without his notice.

"Huh- Hey Jinghe look there! Isn't that Qiang?"

Lifting my head up, I notice Qiang walking ahead of us at a distance.

She was holding some books to her chest, probably taking them to the staff room.

Her silky silver hair waved along with the wind, glistering like crystal.

And every student she passed by looked at her in awe.

"Hey-Hey Qiang!"

Shouted Hui, waving his hands up in the air to her.

The more he waves, the more tighter the grip of his arms get around my neck.

Qiang hears Hui's voice calling out to her which is why she turns her face behind and notices us.

"J-J-Jin... Jinghe?"

Her eyes widen as soon as she notices us, it took me out as a surprise because I notice that her cheeks turn pink out of shyness and there was this flustered stutter in her voice.

"Huh? What's the matter Qiang Lu?" questions Hui.

"I-I..." she slowly steps backwards, in embarrassment "I need to go!"

Shouting which she runs back. I and Hui stare at her running away, with surprise.

"What's up with her?" Hui asked me.

"I don't know... " I lied, because I obviously knew what the reason was.

I have been trying to get close to her, for almost a year.

It's finally time that she develops feelings for me, and that's exactly what is happening!

Qiang Lu has surely fallen in love with me, or else a girl who rejects almost ten boys every month wouldn't have ran away feeling so flustered everytime she encountered me!

Obviously this isn't the first time that she reacted towards me this way! There another and two more after that.

Which is why I'm so sure that Qiang Lu has finally fallen in love with me...

"Muhuhuhuhahahaha... "

Natural laughter starts coming out of me as I remember that moment again and again.

"Mon amour est tombé dans le piège que j'ai tendu! Ahahahaha!"

I uncontrollably burst into evil laughter, spitting out some French words that I learned from Duolingo.

But all of that laughter and satisfaction is soon gone when I notice that the elevator has already arrived and was infront of me with the double door opened.

Of course it's not a problem, and it wouldn't have been, if only a boy in the lift was not staring at me while licking a lollipop.

"Mother, this big brother is laughing like a villain and saying some French words which I don't understand... "

The woman beside him, most probably his mother covers his eyes and presses the button of the elevator to ground floor.

Don't look at him Peter... Or you would eventually grow up turning just like him"

Soon after her words are complete, the doors of the elevator shut and it slides down to the ground floor.

With my mouth still open because of suddenly stopping my laughter, I blink my eyes a few times and finally think to myself-

"Guess like I'll just take the stairs instead..."
