Today...
I'm so overwhelmed I don't even want to talk. Haha.From Su Zai Zai's Little Fairy Diary
After the first class in the afternoon, Su Zai Zai immediately stood up.
Just as she was about to walk out of the classroom, the prelude to the eye exercises began playing over the intercom.
Su Zai Zai instantly sat back down, letting out a wail.
Jiang Jia was a bit speechless: "What are you doing?"
She lied without changing her expression: "My bladder is about to burst."
As soon as the eye exercises ended, Su Zai Zai rushed to the third floor where the key classes of the first year were, pretending to go there to use the restroom, but unfortunately, she didn't run into her crush.
She didn't hurry back and lingered in the hallway for a while.
However, even after the bell rang for the next class, she still didn't see him.
Even though she didn't see him, Su Zai Zai was still incredibly nervous...
She felt like her heart was about to leap out of her body, her breathing was short and rapid, like she couldn't get enough oxygen, and her cheeks were flushed red.During the break after the second class, she shamelessly dragged Jiang Jia along with her.
Su Zai Zai couldn't stop talking about her crush: "I'm telling you, Zhou Xu Yin is just too good-looking! He's incredibly captivating! How can a guy be this handsome? I can't take it, ahhhhh Zhou Xu Yin..."
His eyes, his nose, his mouth, blah blah blah...
Jiang Jia: "..."
As expected, love-struck fools are truly terrifying.
The two of them walked down the stairs, turned left after reaching the third floor.
And there he was, Zhou Xu Yin, walking towards them from the end of the corridor.
He walked right past them, glancing briefly at the two before quickly looking away.
Su Zai Zai's breath caught, and she tightened her grip on Jiang Jia's hand, turning to her in a panic, suddenly changing the subject: "What should we eat tonight?"
Jiang Jia was a bit slow to react, her mind still filled with the name Zhou Xu Yin, and she subconsciously blurted out: "Zhou Xu Yin?"
Zhang Lu Rang glanced over.Su Zai Zai's face turned bright red, and she hurriedly pulled Jian Jia along at a faster pace.
Once they reached the girls' restroom, Su Zai Zai was distraught: "What do I do? Do you think he heard us saying we wanted to eat him...? I want to cry, ahhh!"
Jiang Jia was incredulous: "He just passed by? How did I not notice?"
Su Zai Zai dragged Jiang Jia back out.
At that moment, Zhang Lu Rang was just walking around the corner, revealing half of his profile.
Jiang Jia squinted her eyes, then quickly shook her head: "Too far, I couldn't see clearly... I was too focused on listening to you talk, didn't notice anything else."
The two of them walked back into the restroom.
Su Zai Zai turned on the faucet and splashed her face with water, looking frustrated: "Oh my god, I feel like whenever he's within my sight, I get so nervous..."
"You've got a crush," Jiang Jia said, staring at her face like she'd discovered a new world, "This is the first time I've seen you blush, it's kind of scary."
Su Zai Zai took a deep breath, looked up at herself in the mirror, touched her face, and said seriously: "I think I look quite charming."Jiang Jia: "..."
Two days after returning from the weekend, Su Zai Zai was very dissatisfied with her reaction of getting nervous every time she saw "Zhou Xu Yin." After some thought, she finally came up with a plan to attract his attention.
After the third class in the morning, she grabbed her water bottle and said to Jiang Jia: "Let's go, let's get some water."
Jiang Jia rolled her eyes: "Can we just go three times a day from now on?"
"Just come with me two more times, and then I'll manage on my own."
Jiang Jia reluctantly followed her.
On the way, Su Zai Zai reflected seriously: "I think what I did before was wrong. I can't just look away as soon as I see him. That won't get his attention at all."
Jiang Jia rolled her eyes: "So, what are you going to do?"
"When we see Zhou Xu Yin later, you should call me loudly by my full name, okay?"
"...Alright."
To get to the water dispenser on the third floor, they had to pass bythe key class's classroom. As they approached, Zhang Lu Rang was just coming out of the room with his water bottle.
The two of them immediately quickened their pace and followed behind him.
Jiang Jia cooperated by loudly calling out: "Su Zai Zai!"
Su Zai Zai immediately responded loudly: "I don't think that problem is solved that way. You see, the braking process of a car is a uniform deceleration linear motion. Using reverse thinking, it can be considered as a reverse uniform acceleration linear motion starting from rest..."
She rattled off a bunch of technical terms, leaving Jiang Jia dumbfounded.
Su Zai Zai proudly declared: "So, the answer should be twelve meters per second."
Heh heh heh, surely a top student would have a good impression of a girl who's good at academics!
After filling his water bottle, Zhang Lu Rang left, but Su Zai Zai didn't hurry to follow him. Instead, she turned her shining eyes to Jiang Jia and asked: "How did I do just now?"
Jiang Jia looked a bit pained: "...How long did you spend memorizing that problem?"
Busted, Su Zai Zai didn't mind and confessed honestly: "I was up all night memorizing it."When you substituted the numbers just now, you got the unit for acceleration wrong... You've been saying meters per second..."
Upon hearing this, Su Zai Zai was stunned: "What's the correct unit then?"
"Meters per second squared..."
She was silent.
After a long pause, she said: "Jia Jia, let's take a different route back."
Su Zai Zai really didn't have the courage to pass by the key class again.
She had just tried to impress and ended up revealing herself as a fraud.
"Jia Jia, I think I need to redeem myself." Su Zai Zai sat on a chair, analyzing calmly, "I was too impulsive just now. I should have shown off my English or comprehensive arts skills instead."
Jiang Jia was exasperated: "...So why did you bring up a physics problem? Didn't you get forty points in the last physics test?"
"I thought he looked like a science guy..."
"Dude, we haven't even split into arts and science streams yet!"
Su Zai Zai bent over and banged her head on the desk a few timesin frustration: "So, do you think I should memorize an English essay to redeem my image?"
Jiang Jia rubbed her chin thoughtfully: "I think you should forget it. You'd be better off just apologizing to him and explaining that you weren't cursing at him last time..."
Su Zai Zai's eyes lit up: "You're right! You're absolutely right! I'll go right after this!"
Seeing her like this, Jiang Jia couldn't help but smile.
Su Zai Zai took out a mirror, combed her hair, muttering to herself: "Hmm, first I need to make myself look as beautiful as a fairy, so I can dazzle him."
Soon after, she sighed.
Jiang Jia, confused by her mood swings, asked: "What's wrong now?"
"I feel a sense of crisis," Su Zai Zai said, staring at her reflection in the mirror, biting her lip, "Do you think he'll fall in love with himself just by looking in the mirror?"
Jiang Jia: "..."
Su Zai Zai became increasingly self-conscious: "I feel like in his world, everyone else looks ugly."
"...You're exaggerating."
"Do you think Zhou Xu Yin will fall for his own looks, turn gay, and settle for that other handsome guy in the key class..." Her imagination ran wild.
"No! That Zhang Lu Rang! He has to stay away from my Zhou Xu Yin!"
"Shut up." Jiang Jia knocked on her head, "But, you know, everyone says Zhou Xu Yin has that roguish charm, but I only sense the coldness..."
"What's so great about being roguish?" Su Zai Zai said indifferently, "I just love his aloof and cold demeanor, it's too handsome! It's so intense."
"Stop fantasizing, okay? Let him rest in your mind for a bit, will you?"
"Okay, I'll give him a ten-second break."
"I'll start counting now, ten, nine, eight..."
"...Crazy."
After class, Su Zai Zai decided to be self-reliant and didn't ask Jiang Jia to accompany her.She walked towards the key class, psyching herself up.
She kept rehearsing what she would say: Hello, I'm Su Zai Zai from Class 9, the one who asked your name on the sports field last time...
What else should she say...
Before she could finish thinking, she arrived at the key class's door.
She took a deep breath. From the front door, she could see him
sitting in his chair, leaning back, holding a notebook in one hand, with no expression on his face.
A girl in front of him was talking to him.
Su Zai Zai quickly averted her gaze and called out to a boy walking towards the front door: "Excuse me, could you help me call Zhou Xu Yin from your class?"
Upon hearing the name, the boy immediately glanced over at Zhang Lu Rang, then quickly corrected himself: "Ah, he's on leave."
On leave?!
Su Zai Zai was dumbfounded...
Wha-what?!
Isn't he sitting right there?! Can't they see him?!
Su Zai Zai raised her hand, pointing frantically at Zhang Lu Rang:
"He, he..."
A boy sitting in the first row of the second group suddenly burst out laughing and turned to Zhang Lu Rang: "Hey, Zhang Lu Rang, you're losing it, man. This week three girls have come looking for Zhou Xu Yin, and you've only got two!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lu Rang looked up and glanced at the front door.
He just so happened to see Su Zai Zai pointing at him, his eyebrows furrowed slightly before he quickly looked back down, giving a soft "oh."
Zhang Lu Rang...
So, for the past four days, she had been fantasizing about the wrong person.
And she had even started seeing her real crush as a rival.
...She was going to kill Jiang Jia when she got back.
