13. The Tipped Scales
Although they were standing in the corner as punishment, the two of them had no self-consciousness at all and were instead chatting in low voices.
Yun Ling was thinking about improving Kiana's favorability, while Kiana was testing him.
Of course, I didn't gain anything in the end because the class was almost over.
The math teacher snorted as he passed by the two of them, expressing his dissatisfaction, and then walked towards the office.
The two returned to their seats feeling relieved.
At this time, a group of gossipy girls gathered around.
"Classmate Yun Ling, are you and classmate Kiana a couple?"
The first question almost made Yun Ling spit out his words.
But think about it, two freshmen who came together, went to school together, were late together, and were punished by standing together...
The main thing is that Yun Ling's sentence "Choose C" seemed a bit deliberate, as if he was deliberately trying to irritate the math teacher.
This way, you can stand in the corner with Kiana.
So many people speculated whether the two were a couple.
Kiana was also surrounded by people. Looking at her slightly blushing face and her eyes that looked over here from time to time, Yun Ling concluded that Kiana was facing the same problem at the moment.
"We just met not long ago. We happened to meet in the morning, happened to be late together, happened to be freshmen, and happened to be distracted in class."
Yun Ling explained simply.
"Eh~ Is it really such a coincidence?"
Yun Ling nodded seriously: "It really is such a coincidence!"
Many people immediately lost interest, and their gossipy mood was severely dampened.
However, some people's eyes lit up. After all, Yun Ling's appearance was still good-looking, and this was a world with more women than men, so Yun Ling could be temporarily defined as a "hot commodity."
Now that he knew that Yun Ling and Kiana were not dating, her restless young heart began to stir.
Although the world is filled with the fragrance of oranges, there must still be many people who yearn for normal heterosexuality; otherwise, the world would have been extinct long ago.
"Can I add you on LINE?"
"I want one too!"
"Please!"
The girls gathered around with their cell phones out.
Kiana had been paying attention to the situation here, and seeing Yun Ling being so popular, she couldn't help but frown.
But she soon came to her senses. Yun Ling was Yun Ling, and Ling was Ling!
Even if they look alike... they're not the same person! Probably...
Even if the other party is really Ling, I will definitely kick his head off first.
Even if I can't beat him, I will never let him succeed again!
Thinking of this, Kiana shook her head and no longer paid attention to what was happening over there with Yun Ling.
But the more she thought about it, the more her eyes unconsciously glanced at Yun Ling.
The girls around looked at each other knowingly, as if they smelled the scent of gossip.
"Mr. Kiana, these are my notes from last class. Do you want me to lend them to you?"
A gentle voice sounded, but this voice unconsciously carried a unique temperament, like a queen who was high and mighty.
Someone couldn't wait to introduce: "This is our squad leader, Raiden Mei."
Raiden Mei stood in the middle of the crowd like a queen, surrounded by stars. They looked at Raiden Mei with admiration and envy.
Hearing this name, Kiana's eyes became more bewildered, and she subconsciously repeated: "Raiden Mei...?"
The people around thought Kiana recognized Mei Raiden, and introduced her with a hint of complacency: "That's right, she's the eldest daughter of ME Club."
Their smug expressions were as if they were the daughters of the ME Club.
Raiden Mei waved her hands hurriedly: "Don't say that, I'm just the squad leader here."
"Thank you, Mei...uh, Raiden-san." Kiana quickly corrected herself.
"Just call me Mei." Raiden Mei smiled gently.
Kiana nodded immediately and replied, "Okay, Mei."
Seeing this, some people looked a little dissatisfied. After all, they had been with Mei for a long time and only called her Mei's squad leader.
The newcomer called her Mei right away...
However, since Raiden Mei was there, they did not show it.
"Eh? Kiana, you look a little unwell. Are you feeling unwell?"
Someone noticed something was wrong with Kiana.
Kiana rubbed her stomach and pretended to say, "No... I'm fine, maybe just a little hungry."
Her stomach made some noises at the right time. Since she was late and rushed over, she didn't have breakfast.
"I understand. After all, the period from the last class to lunch break is always tough."
A girl expressed her understanding of Kiana's thoughts.
Soon, it was time for class, and the people surrounding Yun Ling and Kiana dispersed.
Kiana looked at Yun Ling's back with complicated eyes.
The appearance of Raiden Mei began to tilt the balance in her heart.
It has slowly fallen towards the direction of "Yun Ling", which is "Ling".
Kiana's fists slowly clenched, her heart aching as she recalled the last moment of her dream.
She didn't want to experience that heart-wrenching feeling again.
But is her pain really due to Ling's betrayal and deception?
Or...is it Ling's death in the end?
When the final attack hit Ling, everything seemed unimportant to Kiana.
Betrayal or deception, as long as Ling is still alive...
She hated Ling, she hated Ling for leaving her alone...
Kiana shook her head fiercely. She didn't know what kind of feelings she had towards Ling in her dream, and she didn't want to know!
She felt very tired and just wanted to fall into a deep sleep.
When you fall asleep, you stop thinking.
So Kiana fell into a deep sleep during the second period of class at Chiba Academy.
The teacher just glanced at it indifferently and ignored it.
When Kiana woke up again, she looked at the clock and saw that it was almost time for afternoon classes!
She slept for a whole class period plus a lunch break!
The hunger in her stomach urged her to find food quickly, but the little time left made it impossible for her to reach the cafeteria.
"Bread and milk."
Looking up, Yun Ling was biting a piece of bread in his mouth. He also placed three pieces of bread and two bottles of milk on her table.
Kiana was stunned for a moment: "You..."
Yun Ling gave a thumbs-up.
"I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you. As a friend in need, uh... that's pretty much it. Anyway, don't worry, I'll treat you today."
"I don't know what kind you like, so I just bought a few at random. If you don't have enough milk, I have another one..."
Before Yun Ling could finish his words, Kiana interrupted him.
"No, thank you!"
Yes, Kiana refused righteously.
She has made up her mind to stay away from Yun Ling.
Or perhaps she had subconsciously mistaken Yun Ling for Ling.
