Chapter 38 - Friends
“Have you seen it? Ke Yan and a really beautiful girl together.”
“Wrong… I saw him with two girls together. One has a shorter hair the other one has a longer hair. The long hair girl really is beautiful, more beautiful than our school flower.”Male student ‘A’ said.
“Really? That’s great. With that beauty together our school girls would let go the idea of being with Ke Yan and stop chasing him. Then… they would obediently wait for me to chase them ba.” Male student ‘B’ happily said.
“(ˉ▽￣～)cut~~, even if Ke Yan has a new girlfriend there is still Ye Xing Wei. If Ye Xing Wei has a girlfriend...there is still Yang Shao Yu ne. Not right… Yang Shao Yu long ago already has girlfriend and even changes them on weekly basis.”Male student ‘C’ sadly said.
“Ai… this school really do not give a slightest chance for us ah. So many handsome guys. How we these inferior goods have chances to survive ah.”
“Ai…….” A group of male students sighed.
In the corner of the classroom, Jiang Qi chomped on the bread he just bought, really angrily chomp. After bites and bites of chomping, he swallowed the hard bread into his stomach in anger. Why is that? Because this week, it has been two days since he last saw Ke Yan. This week… one after another class he attended would talk about Ke Yan having a girlfriend this matter.
A girlfriend… If Ke Yan really has a girlfriend…. Jiang Qi thinks until here, his eyes started to dim and the delicious bread in his mouth has become tasteless.
Cannot. He needs to confirm this matter for sure. After thinking Jiang Qi stand to go regardless of his classmate reminder that the class was about to begin.
Walking on the road, even though he was thinking on finding Ke Yan but Jiang Qi himself do not know where is he right now. Taking a big breath, Jiang Qi thinks his brain really has a little bit short-circuit.
“Ei...did you hear? Ke Yan seems to have a girlfriend.”
On his opposite site two crestfallen girls walk, and after she said  to the other girl she nodded her head with a bitter expression. Both of them look really dispirited.
Jiang Qi gritted his teeth… Is Ke Yan a celebrity ah? He merely has a little handsome face only...alright, he is spectacularly handsome...no… should be said as extraordinarily handsome. Jiang Qi mouth was stiffed. After knocking on his head couple of times once again get back to the crux of the problem. He is not trying to find out whether Ke Yan really has a girlfriend or not…
Jiang Qi’s hand knocking on his head suddenly stop. Opposite side walks two people. Even though the distant still quite far, but Jiang Qi really sure his eyes were not wrong. It’s Ke Yan and he…. a girl, with the distant Jiang Qi cannot see the face of that long hair girl. Subconsciously he hid himself behind a tree, waiting until these two people to pass him by.
“Ke Yan, I did not expect your school environment is quite good.” The girl standing next to Ke Yan said.
“N”Ke Yan simply answered.
Jiang Qi watching from behind the tree really wanted to laugh, really no other words…..
“I did not expect you still the same old boring.” The girl said full of dissatisfaction.
“Why are you coming back this time?”
Humphhh… looks like Ke Yan really concerned about that girl na...
“ Because Shao Yu said you recently a little bit changed , that’s why me and Ma Tong came back to see what happened.”
The girl voice sounds really sweet, maybe Ke Yan likes this kind of voice. Thinking of it, Jiang Qi subconsciously bite his lower lip. But Ke Yan next sentence saved Jiang Qi’s lips from being ruthlessly gnawed.
“Do not talk so nauseatingly.”
The girl just smile, did not replied. Inadvertently, she saw Jiang Qi who was hiding behind the tree, her mouth secretly evoked a little smile. It seems Ke Yan really has changed. Looks like Yang Shao Yu really did not lie to them. It’s a shame that Ma Tong cannot be here right now, or they can appreciate this great show together.
Jiang Qi did not realize his whereabouts has been found by that girl and keep hiding behind the tree. Until both of their shadows gone far only he came out from his little hideout with a gloomy sigh.
That girl really beautiful and seems like a perfect match walking side by side to Ke Yan. Really perfect… no,no,no,no. In fact  they do  not really match. Jiang Qi did not realize he has unconsciously become like a woman pining from love.
Jiang Qi’s mood right now can be sum up as annoyed. When a person was annoyed he will become a little bit impatient and right now Jiang Qi has become an irritable impatient person. So, an irritable Jiang Qi decided it’s better for him to go back to the dorm and sleep his mood away.
Wait until he woke up afterwards, the time already gotten late. He quickly put on his coat and ran slowly  to the library. But even with his slow pace once reach the library he felt really tired and breathless. After calmly breathing he walked into the library and discovered… why Ke Yan has not arrive?
Is there anything delaying him? Jiang Qi took a book to read and waited for Ke Yan. The times passed slowly and the library will soon be close. Jiang Qi stroked his empty stomach feeling hungry. Today Ke Yan did not come ah? Why he didn’t inform him anything? Jiang Qi fishing for his phone in his pocket to give him a call but... why there’s no phone ne? Where  did his phone goes to oh? Don’t tell me I’ve lost it?
Jiang Qi really felt that today his luck was really rotten. First because he knew that Ke Yan has a girlfriend and then because Ke Yan did not inform him that he won’t come to the library today. Jiang Qi pulled back his thoughts and went back to the dormitory.
I say… Jiang Qi ah...why didn’t you realize already that your mind, all the times are full of Ke Yan ne …
Jiang Qi listlessly back to his dorm. Liu Hao playing the computer saw him came inside in such way, startled and said: “Wow!!! Jiang Qi ah… how did you become like this. Don’t tell me you are actually lovelorn ba.”
Jiang Qi too lazy to care about him and straight away went to find his phone on the bed. Looking for some time but still without result so Jiang Qi sit on the bed feeling depressed.
“What happened?” Do not know when Meng Qing came back... or maybe originally he has been inside the dorm all along. Jiang Qi shakes his head did not dare to say everything happened was related to Ke Yan matters. He merely said: “I’ve lost my phone.”
“Lost? Then just buy a new one ah. Don’t look so disheartened like this.” Meng Qing slapped Jiang Qi’s shoulder.
“En.” Jiang Qi nodded his head and buried himself inside the quilt. Right now the only thing Jiang Qi wants to do is shouted one sentence ----- Ke Yan you bad guy.
The next day, Jiang Qi still has not found his phone. Looks like he really lost it and need to buy a new one. Jiang Qi counted his money and found it’s enough to buy a new one but he had use the old phone for a long time so inevitably had some feeling for it. Hence, Jiang Qi once again walked through yesterday road trying to see whether he can find it back.
But… he did not found the phone instead he found Ke Yan. He saw Ke Yan leading two girls visiting the school. In fact he didn’t actually know if they are truly visiting but since one of the girls was yesterday long hair girl so he assume they were. The other girl she has never seen and she kept a short hair but still looks beautiful as well. But on a closer look, it seems both girls really look alike.
Jiang Qi stunned for a while but seen that they are coming he subconsciously hide once again. Jiang Qi really felt helpless with his ‘subconsciously hide’ action.
“What are you doing coming here.” He heard Ke Yan’s voice.
“Of course coming to see you ah.” Seems like the voice of the long hair girl.
“Do not think I do not know what both of you are thinking.”
“What?” This time the short hair spoke. The sound seems somber, makes anyone listening to quiver.
“What did Shao Yu told both of you?”
“It’s nothing. Yes Ma Tong… did you remember what I’ve said to you yesterday?
“Mo Lu, I remember.”Both of them looked at Ke Yan but he did not pay attention to them. Instead, his eyes squinted looking towards one direction.
Ma Tong? Mo Lu? How’s the name seems familiar? Listening to Ma Tong such a dark cloudy tone, it seems like he has heard it before, ………….
Ah...right! At Ke Yan’s house. Jiang Qi finally remember. In Ke Yan house, there are two strange rooms with these two names written outside the door.
Yang Shao Yu and them also acquainted? Then...are they actually friends? Thinking about it, Jiang Qi could not help but felt happy and grinned foolishly. Suddenly  Jiang Qi’s collar was tightened and somebody were grabbing the back of  his collar. Jiang Qi turned around feeling confuse. But one look, his confuse expression turned to become nervous afterwards turned again, to become embarrassing.
How does someone felt when he was caught red handed? Right now Jiang Qi finally knew how’s the feeling. Moreover the one who caught him was Ke Yan. This feeling...really terrible de.
“Hey...so clever ah.” Only god knows how embarrassed he felt right now but Jiang Qi still feign ignorance and greeted Ke Yan as though nothing happened.
“I already saw you earlier.” Ke Yan’s short statement immediately broke Jiang Qi’s phony expression and he looks at Ke Yan with a pathetically cute eyes .
Ke Yan breathing lag for a moment when he looks at Jiang Qi’s pair of eyes. After some time only he continue to say: “Later on… do not use such an  expression looking at others.”
Jiang Qi did not really understand what he means but still nodded his head a few times.
Ke Yan grabbed Jiang Qi, pulled him out from his hiding place and bring him in front of Mo Lu and Ma Tong.
Once Mo Lu saw Jiang Qi, she went close and grasped on Jiang Qi’s shoulder: “You should not be that Jiang Qi ba.”
Jiang Qi felt uncomfortable and wanted to break away but before he did, Ke Yan already help him throw Mo Lu’s hands from his shoulder. Jiang Qi sigh in relief. He really not used to be so close with the opposite sex, nevertheless he still ask: “How do you know my name?”
“Shao Yu said de.”Ma Tong moved closer to Jiang Qi’s  ear and said. Jiang Qi felt like a very cold air blowing his ear so he could not help but to recoil his shoulder.
“Actually, what has Yang Shao Yu told both of you.” Ke Yan this sentence out, Mo Lu and Ma Tong’s body immediately stiffened. Immediately came out the sound of laughter, of course the one who laugh is Mo Lu. Ma Tong patted on Jiang Qi’s shoulder. Jiang Qi turned his head looking at her and saw she was staring at him quietly. Suddenly her face went closer to Jiang Qi’s neck and sniffed. Jiang Qi his whole body stiff do not dare to move . Even his neck has become painfully stiff. But Ma Tong’s face seems like she did not got enough, so he asked: “What are you doing?”
Ma Tong did not reply but instead continue to sniff on him. After half a minute only she said: “To smell your scent.”
Smell my scent… Jiang Qi feel Ke Yan’s friends really nice but a little bit weird.
“We should go.” Ma Tong suddenly pulled Mo Lu and walked away. Jiang Qi for a moment have no reaction but after a while he ask Ke Yan: “Why they go?”
“Going forward the sun would be hot. Ma Tong hate staying below the sun.”
“Too weird.”
“Later on you will get used to it.” Ke Yan smiled and said.
“Oh.” Later on? Jiang Qi could not help himself from laughing, but not yet 2 seconds his laughter stop. Because...he remembered yesterday’s matter: “Why didn’t you come to the library yesterday and moreover you did not even tell me about it.”Jiang Qi did not even realize when he said these words, his expression is full of grievances.
Ke Yan took a handphone from his pocket and gave it to Jiang Qi: “You lost your phone...I got sent you a message.”
Jiang Qi quickly took back his phone, surprised and said: “Where did you found this... I’ve been looking for a long time.”
“Behind that tree where you hide yesterday.”Ke Yan said as though it was nothing shameful.
“........................”Jiang Qi was stunned. Or more likely to describe as petrified. Did not expect Ke Yan had actually found out he was hiding there yesterday. Honestly, it’s too disgraceful ne. Jiang Qi have no face to see people ah.
Ke Yan last night went for a dinner with Mo Lu, Ma Tong and Yang Shao Yu so he sent him a message. Jiang Qi did not reply him back so he called  him up. Also no one picked up. Ke Yan could not help but worried. Thinking that today Jiang Qi had peeked at him and Mo Lu that place, so he went there looking. Sure enough, he found it there.
See Jiang Qi blushed red and even his ears also has been red, Ke Yan laughed while pinching and squeezing on Jiang Qi’s face. Then he hold his hand: “Let’s go.”
Jiang Qi let Ke Yan hold his hand walking away. His face still red but his mouth was smiling.
