—From Su Zаi Zai's Little Fairy Diary
Two days after National Day, City Z had several consecutive days of rain, a continuous drizzle, yet it brought little coolness; the air still carried a touch of sultry heat.
The school campus during break time was always lively.
The corridor echoed with students' laughter and playful noises, accompanied by the faint sound of rain.
Amidst the clamor, Su Zai Zai walked out of the office carrying a large stack of English exercise books.
After entering the classroom, she gritted her teeth and placed the exercise books on the desk by the door, wiped the sweat from her brow with her hand, and picked up the topmost book.
Footsteps sounded behind her as Jiang Jia suddenly pounced on her, laughing, "Zai Zai! Come on! Let's go to the canteen!"
Su Zai Zai blew at her bangs and waved the exercise book in her hand at her: "Wait a bit, I need to go to the advanced class. The English teacher asked me to find a boy from their class for her."
"Find who?"
Hearing this, Su Zai Zai opened the cover of the exercise book.
—"Zhang Lu Rang, Class 1, Grade 10."
The handwriting was neat and proper, vigorous and forceful, looking both orderly and flamboyant.
Jiang Jia leaned over to take a look and immediately widened her eyes: "Holy crap, Zhang Lu Rang! I want to go too!"
Her exaggerated reaction made Su Zai Zai pause for a moment, but she quickly understood: "Is this Zhang Lu Rang very handsome?"
"Yeah! Although I haven't seen him, hahaha, but I'm more interested in another guy. They say he's super fucking handsome, the kind with a bad-boy, roguish charm!"
"Hah." Su Zai Zai chuckled lightly.
"What are you doing?"
"Is my laugh roguish enough?"
"Get lost, bullshit."
Soon they arrived at the door of the advanced class.
Su Zai Zai called out to someone inside from the back door and handed them the exercise book: "Classmate, please give this to Zhang Lu Rang in your class and tell him the English teacher is looking for him."
She turned her head and looked at Jiang Jia, who was still craning her neck to peer inside, and couldn't help but glance in the direction of her gaze.
"Which one is he?"
"He doesn't seem to be here..."
"Let's go then."
On the way back.
Jiang Jia was somewhat disappointed and rolled her eyes at Su Zai Zai: "You actually have zero enthusiasm for handsome guys! I still haven't seen either of the two handsome guys from the advanced class, ahhhhh! You should have personally handed the exercise book to that Zhang Lu Rang just now, okay? Why did you have someone else pass it on! You irresponsible woman!""How am I irresponsible?"
"Hmph."
"It's not like I slept with him."
"..."
"And weren't you going to see another guy?"
"If I can't see him, I'll just settle for Zhang Lurang! He's handsome anyway."
Su Zaizai scoffed lightly: "I'm not interested in handsome guys."
Jiang Jia curled her lip, looking disdainful: "Stop bragging."
Su Zaizai's expression turned serious: "Really, I'm only interested in someone like Tomoe, with cute cat ears that twitch when he talks. I just want to pinch them."
"You're dreaming! Those are fox ears, okay, dude! And Tomoe isn't handsome?! Get lost!"
Su Zaizai yawned lazily: "Handsome isn't the point; the point is having cute ears."
"...No matter how I think about it, handsome is definitely the point."
Taking advantage of the long break, the two went back to the classroom to get their umbrellas and headed downstairs toward the school store. Most students used this time to buy snacks, so the store was quite crowded.
After browsing inside, they couldn't find what they wanted. The space was small, the line was intimidatingly long, and the air felt stuffy and uncomfortable. Su Zaizai pursed her lips, instantly losing the desire to buy anything. She slowly squeezed her way through the crowd and walked out.
Under the awning outside the store, many people were also standing. She hesitated for a moment, opened her umbrella, and walked a bit farther out.
From this spot, she could just see the school gate.
A student was walking over from that direction, not holding an umbrella, his steps large and swift.
Fortunately, the rain wasn't heavy, so he didn't look too disheveled.
Late for school?
But this is way too late—it's already after the second class.
Su Zaizai lowered her head and rubbed her sleepy eyes.
Bored, she tapped the tip of her shoe against a puddle on the ground and couldn't help muttering softly: "Idiot. If it were me, I'd just come in the afternoon."
After all, being two classes late or a whole morning late is still being late.
If you don't know how to seize such a great opportunity, why not give it to me?
After saying this, Su Zaizai looked up and instantly realized the student had already walked to a spot about two meters diagonally in front of her.
Their eyes met. His gaze was inscrutable, his pupils a deep black with a hint of intimidation—clear, cold, and bright as stars.
Su Zaizai: "..."
...He must have flown over here.
Even though she knew he definitely hadn't heard her, and even if he had, he wouldn't know she was talking about him, Su Zaizai still guiltily averted her eyes.
The boy walked quickly, brushing past her and turning onto the small path ahead.
Su Zaizai turned her head, watching his retreating figure, lost in thought.
The aftereffect hit her all at once.
She quickly looked away, her cheeks gradually burning.
The image from just moments ago reappeared in her mind.
The boy's eyes seemed washed by the rain, moist and clear, as if charged with electricity, piercing straight to her heart. A tingling sensation surged from her chest, spreading to her fingertips, making her hand holding the umbrella tremble.
His hair was damp, dark as ink, his nose bridge straight, his lips glossy and tinged with red.
Fair skin, long legs, a slender waist, and narrow hips.
A great beauty...
Su Zaizai licked her lips.
Jiang Jia, emerging from the school store, broke her train of thought, pulling her out of this inexplicable fantasy.
"Su Zaizai! Get over here! I didn't bring an umbrella!"
Su Zaizai paused her lip-licking, snapped back to reality, and walked over.On the way back to the classroom, Jiang Jia chattered away beside her, gossiping about their classmates. Su Zai Zai responded absentmindedly a few times, completely unable to focus.
Her mind felt like a tangled mess, heavy and muddled.
Jiang Jia quickly noticed her odd behavior and couldn’t help but pat her arm, teasing, “What’s wrong with you? Still thinking about your ideal type? Your cat-eared boyfriend?”
Su Zai Zai shook her head, her expression slightly dazed, and said nothing.
She remembered what she had just said earlier.
—“Handsome isn’t the point. The point is having cute ears.”
Talk about eating her words…
Su Zai Zai had truly never imagined that such a person could exist in this world.
No cat ears, yet somehow even more captivating.
The geography teacher tapped on the blackboard as she lectured.
Su Zai Zai pretended to listen attentively, gripping her pen as she copied the content from the blackboard into her notebook, but her mind was buzzing with thoughts of what had just happened.
It was the first time she had ever zoned out during geography class.
If he was heading toward that small path, he was probably a first-year or second-year student…
The third-year building was in the opposite direction.
But with so many first and second-year classes, there was no way to guess which one he was in.
So annoying.
If only she hadn’t gone to the convenience store.
Wait, it wasn’t her fault…
It was all that gorgeous guy’s fault! Why did he have to look at her? Didn’t he know that someone so good-looking shouldn’t just stare at others?
So shameless!
When Su Zai Zai was in a bad mood, it was obvious. Jiang Jia could immediately sense her low spirits. “Hey, what’s wrong? Didn’t eat enough?”
Su Zai Zai ignored her, her irritation growing.
Outside, the mist blurred the scenery into hazy patches, colors blending into one another.
Her eyelids drooped, her thick, curly lashes fluttering slightly. Her peach-blossom eyes lifted, reflecting a glazed, shimmering light.
The scenery outside instantly faded into the background, paling in comparison.
Jiang Jia admired her for a moment and sighed in admiration, “Ah, Zai Zai, if you didn’t talk, I’d think you were a fairy who fell from the heavens.”
Hearing this, Su Zai Zai paused, her frustration melting away.
Her eyes immediately filled with laughter, curving into beautiful crescents.
A hint of secret delight stirred in her heart.
If she could be a fairy, she wouldn’t mind being mute for the rest of her life.
“But the moment you speak,” Jiang Jia sighed, “it feels like that fairy suddenly shoved a mouthful of shit into my mouth.”
She patted her chest dramatically, heartbroken. “Not just anything, but shit! A whole mouthful of shit!”
Su Zai Zai turned to look at her, her expression slightly subtle. “And that shit still isn’t enough to shut you up?”
“…”
Su Zai Zai picked up her textbook and read the first paragraph aloud: “All physical processes in the atmosphere are accompanied by energy conversion. Solar radiation is the Earth’s atmosphere…”
Jiang Jia was utterly confused. “What are you doing?”
“…the most important source of energy.” She insisted on finishing the paragraph before answering Jiang Jia. “I don’t mind feeding you more shit.”
Jiang Jia: “…”
Zhang Lu Rang walked upstairs.
The rain wasn’t heavy, but he was still half-soaked.
“Hey, Zhang Lu Rang.” A boy patted him on the shoulder from behind, making a fuss. “Where’ve you been? The homeroom teacher was looking for you!”
Zhang Lu Rang glanced at him, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly in response.He walked over to his seat, pulled a pack of tissues from the drawer, took out two, and slowly rubbed his hair, his lips pressed tightly together.
The girl in front of him, Ye Zhenxin, turned around and asked curiously, "Hey, why are you all wet? Did you get caught in the rain?"
Zhang Lu Rang lowered his head, pulled out a few more tissues to wipe off the water on his body, his expression indifferent.
"Yeah."
Then he walked to the trash can in the corner of the classroom and threw the tissues away.
A group of boys nearby huddled together, laughing and cursing as they watched one of their phones: "Idiot! I passed this level ages ago, and you're still playing it!"
Zhang Lu Rang paused for a moment.
The girl's soft, grumbling voice echoed in his ears, word for word, as if on replay.
—"Idiot, if it were me, I'd just come in the afternoon."
