She Prince

Eating the last dumpling of my third bowl I keep the chopsticks on the table standing up from my seat I lean forward with my palms rested on the table.

“I’m done,” I announce turning to my right, mu eyes goes bigger watching HenYu and ChengLi still eating, a weak smile appears on my face when my eyes fall on the five bowls which are piled up next to the one which they are having now.

“Seriously, you both are eating the sixth bowl while I had three,” Standing straight I cross my arms over my chest my eyes observing the two who are busy “Eating like pigs,” I comment crunching up my nose.

HenYu looks up at me his mouth stuffed with the dumpling that his cheeks have two bumps making him look like an otafuku okame doll “It’s only our sixth bowl,” he speaks with the food in his mouth his voice coming out as an old man.

The corners of my lips twitches up slightly when I turn to the opposite side to find Feng Lei enjoying his meal and two bowls piled up. Bending low I rest my elbow on the table and place my chin on the back of my palm my face in a few distance away from his.

Examining his features my eyes moves from top from his forehead and moves down stopping on his lips. My view fixes on his lips while he chews with his mouth closed. The rate of my heart beat rises when the image of our lips crashed flashes in my mind making me feel a little strange.

No, this should not be happening, Why am I gawking at him?

Forcing my thoughts away from my mind my lips forms to a mischievous smile as I move a little forward.

“Are you enjoying?,” My voice comes out soft in a soothing mockingly way, the joy of teasing him rising above me.

Swallowing down the food he had in his mouth he places the chopsticks on the bowl and pushes the bowl to a side. My eyes widens when he lean forward his eyes looking into mine.

“Were you thinking that for this long,” he scoffs raising a brow amusingly.

What?

Did I just get my nose cut.

I mentally slap my face for staring at him a few minutes back.

Pulling in my upper lip I glare at him when his lips forms to a smirk. Forgetting about the fact that I’m the one who is being teased right now my brain begins to admire the fact that he looks handsome when he smiles or smirks.

“Your brain always take a long time to respond when you’re awkward, doesn’t it?,” he sneers his eyes never leaving me.

Late… there is something…

I move back abruptly “Oh no,” my voice comes out loud in astonishment taking the attention of everyone.

“What?,” HenYu asks immediately looking at me curiously.

“Aren’t we late for class,” I face ChengLi his watching action freeze the dumpling he held from the chopstick falls down to the bowl, he looks up at me his lips parted his expression showing that he is really out of his freaking mind.

The surrounding of our table captures silence for few seconds and then the sound of our wide footsteps fills in our ears. Moving my gaze from the ground I look straight to see HenYu and ChengLi fading away. Stopping by I bend low holding my stomach panting, my legs are still numb from the running in the morning and it hurts, especially my stomach is alerting me about my monthly visitor.

A shriek leaves my lips without my realisation when I feel someone grab my hand and drag me with him. I look up my tired eyes watching his hair wave to and fro.

“Just a little more,” he turns glancing at me as I try to match his pace.

My legs go wobbly when my eyes fixes to our hands, his palm around my wrist making my flashback play in my mind. I look up to see WanKe facing me forcing me to run, the sound of the dried leaves and running water captures my hearing that I finally give up. I scot down holding my head low closing my ears with my forearm my palm into my scalps as I fix my eyes to the ground the blurry vision getting clearer every second. Inhaling deep breaths in I let it out continuing the process to calm my racing heartbeat, closing my eyes I take a deep breath in and let it out with a loud weary sigh. Grabbing the edge of my sleeve with my four fingers I rub the sweat beads formed on my forehead. “You okay,” I look up to see Feng Lei with his hand forward an assuring smile appears on his face.

“Yes,” taking hold of his hand I stand up.

“I thought you are strong.”

“I am,” I grunt under my breath pushing his arm away I walk towards HenYu and ChengLi who are sticking to the wall peeping on the side of the gate taking a look if someone is around.

“Seems like we are too late,” HenYu says watching the students walk out the classroom, we four stick to the wall standing horizontally as a train with HenYu first ChengLi second myself third and FengLei beside me.

“I guess the attendance wasn’t taken as it’s marked in the morning,” FengLei murmurs, stepping forward he takes the lead “Let’s blend with them ,” he looks to his right, the left and the right again and stalks in slowly as we follow him behind looking around us like thieves breaking in an museum to rob the diamond.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

We make our way to our classmates successfully, a pleased smile makes it way on my lips as we are not in trouble.

“You all four, stop right there,” came Master Huang’s voice which made my smile drop in an instant, our movements came to an halt as we all stand straight on the spot where we stood looking straight as frozen statues.
