Chapter 1: What male god?
Ugh, school isn’t my favorite place
For some reason staying in a building with that many people in the name of learning isn’t frowned upon, forget learning, I haven’t been able to master the basic skill of staying awake in class, the teachers voice sounding like to lull for me to sleep each time, an invite I embrace with open arms and shut eyes
It’s only my second year in jun city’s no 1 high school and I know I should be used to it by now but there’s just no helping it, I don’t like school.
pulling my head out of my thoughts I look up to see my seat mate Ji Soyu’s mouth moving fast as I watch her speak to me words I’m not deciphering, some male god transfer student and hallways crowded by the girls rushing to see and the teachers getting involved , hmph ‘’male god’’ I repeat to her and this sets off another round of convincing (blabbering) from her and at this point I stop listening and flop back on the desk covering my ears, I know a head slap is coming from ignoring her so I cover my head too and on cue Ji Soyu’s hand hits, Ah
I wake up to the ringing of the bell to Soyu’s face magnified in front of me “we are heading out for lunch, don’t say I didn’t wake you up when you wake later” she says and immediately turns to leave
Looking around I find that I’m alone, too lazy to get up I go to lay back down but catch sight of a tall dark haired piece of specimen, I can’t help but stare discreetly at his long legs and slim waistline, this must be the new student I nod to myself and go to lay back down again when I hear him speaking, his voice sounds like dragging your tongue over your favorite candy and licking delectably as it melts slowly and sweetly, wait! what’s the male god saying
“….sitting beside you, please take care of me”
I at once realize I’ve missed his self introduction and still don’t know his name, giving him a slow nod, I see him turn away, taking something from his desk and leaving
“f**k” did I just respond to the new boy in class, no I should rephrase, did I just respond to the male god, I finally concede to Soyu’s description, she was right!
After school I sit wide awake waiting for my new seat mate to leave before I do, I found his name out it was Kim Yichen ,’ Yichen’, rolling it in my head and around my tongue for a few laps I think it’s very fitting, like a squealing girl in love with her favorite idol, I think this name is perfect for him.
By now Yichen is slowly moving toward the door and I call out his name, he turns rather quickly I wonder if he’ll get whiplash for a second , “hmm?” he answers
“Xiu Zixuan” I state, “I didn’t tell you my name earlier, it’s Xiu Zixuan”
He’s looking straight at me with those dark almost black eyes, almost as if pondering how to reply, his eyes suddenly become clear seeming to have decided and he only nods before continuing to leave
I don’t mind it though, for the little sunshine with dark hair I feel I can take anything, never mind getting just a nod after speaking ten more words than I normally would, heck the only reason I didn’t skip classes today was to speak with him
Ah, I’m endlessly amused with the little fireball, little fireball I wonder what he’ll think of this name
Reaching home, I find Soyu already came and left, she’s my neighbor, we’ve been neighbors since forever, after proclaiming herself the elder sis, she really took on that role and mum is endlessly grateful for that, I take the assignments she’s copied out from the study table and head to my room upstairs
After a quick wash I hear the door opening and know my mum is back, she knocks and cracks open the door slightly peering in like an actor in a spy movie “hey, how was school today?”
I look up to her, really look up to her from where I’m sitting on the bed and still drying my hair “um, it was okay” , as if being granted amnesty she nods, enters my room fully and quickly leaves a glass of milk on the table pointedly looking at me to take the hint and drink up then she leaves
Getting back my quiet, I close my eyes thinking of the little fireball from today, the way his eyes go deep when thinking and his slender fingers as they grasp unto the door knob, I feel myself reacting quickly and I know I have to take another shower
Whilst Xiu Zixuan is lost in himself, the object of his fantasies, Kim Yichen opens the door to his room having just come back from shuttling school and the family’s company, Kim Yichen really felt that he had a weird day today
with his ability he could have skipped a grade and enrolled in the third year but he wanted not to be treated specially in at least one aspect of his life
He had always been homeschooled and only got off this year because the professors all agree he should take the national exam this year to get into university quicker, they couldn’t wait to have him study with them
Thanks to his near perfect memory he’s able to be the perfect doll his father wants him to be and the trophy his mother showcases amongst her class, sighing, Kim Yichen lies down in bed trying to sink deeper in his mind and let the noise that’s his life float away
“ting ting ting”, the sound from his computer jolts him out of his reverie, looking at it he sees a message from his long time partner and friend
Chen Jun: “boss, the technology auctioned for 80 million , how’s it eh”
Chen Jun: “sticker”
KY: “good”
Chen Jun: “I already transferred the money, boss, when will you come to the headquarters, the guys are itching to meet you”
KY: “soon”
Chen Jun: typing..
Kim Yichen closes the computer shut, no longer paying attention
Once again closing his eyes, he deceives his body into falling asleep
