The confused Jiang Que hugged the book and returned to his own corner, imitating the appearance of humans carefully as he flipped open the pages of ‘Revenge of the Three Princesses vs. The Three Icy Princes’:
【[Chapter One: Transfer Student]
“Bingli, wake up, it’s time for class.”
Ye Bingli opened her eyes to see her friend Su Mo shaking her arm, with an expression that said, “I knew it.”
“Did you stay up late playing games again last night?”
Ye Bingli nodded embarrassedly, her purple long hair cascading down. The fatigue on her face and the watery lapis lazuli eyes made her look stunning. The surrounding classmates were all stunned, unable to help but sneak glances at her.
Su Mo blinked her beautiful doe-like eyes, pouting cutely, “Aren’t you going on a date with Feng after school today? You can’t go looking like this, let me do your makeup later.”
At Su Mo’s words, Ye Bingli remembered her boyfriend, also known as the sunshine school grass of Saint Leith Academy, Chu Feng. They had indeed agreed a few days ago to go to the arcade together. She looked back and saw Chu Feng smiling at her with his chin resting on his hand.
The golden sunlight shining through his hair gave it a brownish sheen, and his smile caused screams from the girls around him.
“Oh my, the sunshine school grass smiles so gently!”
“Sob sob, the sunshine school grass and my goddess Ye are meant for each other! They are too sweet!”
“Ye Bingli is the 70th richest heiress in the world! She and Chu Feng, the 61st richest prince, are a perfect match!”
Chu Feng’s voice was gentle, “Bingli, don’t stay up late like this next time, it’s not good for your health.”
Ye Bingli playfully stuck out her tongue. Before she could speak, the sound of high heels tapping interrupted her.
The curly-haired female teacher pushed the door open, smiling at everyone, saying:
“Hello, students. In this new semester, we have a new transfer student in our Saint Leith Class A. Let’s welcome her together!”
After the teacher finished speaking, she moved aside, revealing the person standing at the door.
She had long hair like cherry blossoms in a pale pink color, eyes beneath her bangs looking naive and innocent, lips as tender as blooming cherry blossoms. Dressed in a lace dress with white and pink, and beautiful black shoes, she walked step by step to the platform and wrote the words “Ying Qian” on the blackboard, then said:
“Hello, everyone. I am Ying Qian, the second daughter of the 20th richest family in the world, the Ying family. I hope you all can guide me.”
As soon as the words fell, the classroom exploded.
“Wow! She’s actually from the 20th richest Ying family! She’s even more beautiful than Bingli!”
“The title of school flower belongs to Ying Qian for sure!”
“Ying Qian and Chu Feng are such a perfect match!”】
[Hmm…? The 20th richest in the world?]
[What a strange human.]
[So strange.]
[Strange.]
Jiang Que and his tentacles both expressed their confusion.
Why were the humans in this book so different from the ones he had seen?
He had only seen kids at school with dark circles under their eyes from staying up late, and some in a panic holding their report cards contemplating jumping off a building or hanging themselves. He had never known about prince and princess selections at school, or these strange introductions like being the 20th richest in the world. With a doubtful heart, he continued reading.
【 “Ying Qian, please find a seat, we are about to start class.”
Ying Qian’s lips curved into a sweet smile, nodding obediently, she walked down the platform and confidently approached Chu Feng:
“Classmate, hello, may I sit next to you?”
“Ying Qian likes Chu Feng and wants to snatch him away.”】
Jiang Que, who had seen countless similar plots on humans, was convinced.
Next, Ye Bingli should stand up to reject Chu Feng for Ying Qian, and then they would start arguing…
【Before Chu Feng could respond, his desk mate blushed, frantically tidied up his desk, and bowed:
“P-please, please sit here!”
Princess Ying was willing to sit in his seat, he felt incredibly honored!
Ying Qian smiled gently and then took her seat.
Ye Bingli, sitting in the front row, silently furrowed her brows as she took in everything.
Su Mo, worried, tugged at her sleeve and whispered, “Bingli, Chu Feng is not that kind of person, trust me.”
Ye Bingli looked at Chu Feng, who was smiling gently at Ying Qian, and a slight ominous feeling rose in her heart. However, she smiled back at Su Mo and said, “It’s okay, I trust Feng.”】
???
How could she trust him so easily?
[Ying Qian is the villain! Why do you believe in her?!]
The tentacle closest to the book couldn’t help but shake with impatience, as if wanting to jump into the book and wake Ye Bingli up. Other tentacles chimed in:
[She definitely wants to frame Ye Bingli, I’ve seen many humans do this.]
[Will Chu Feng and Ye Bingli be separated? QAQ]
[I really like Su Mo, I’ve never seen a human like her!]
The tentacles exchanged thoughts about the plot, while Jiang Que’s back ached from leaning against the wall. He adjusted his position, propped up two tentacles behind him, and continued flipping through the pages.
No wonder humans like to read books, the plots in them are much more interesting than humans themselves.
The plot progressed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Watching Ying Qian and Chu Feng’s relationship grow closer, Jiang Que clenched his fist in frustration. The tentacles behind him were waving eagerly, almost wanting to jump into the book and give Ying Qian and Chu Feng a good slap each.
That was a third party intervening! How could Ye Bingli, being so foolish, not see this?
Finally, when Jiang Que couldn’t hardly bear it any longer, Ying Qian invited Ye Bingli to meet in the small garden.
The tentacles were almost twisted into knots:
[Don’t go!! It’s definitely a trap!]
But Ye Bingli went anyway.
【 “…In the garden, the fiery red roses bloomed vigorously, and the bushes concealed any signs of people. Ye Bingli stared in confusion at Ying Qian, who lay weakly on the ground. Su Mo, who had followed in concern, was also stunned. How could the tearful and pitiful Ying Qian, who had just said ‘I don’t want to interfere with you and Brother Chu’s relationship,’ suddenly collapse on the ground?
Ying Qian clutched her chest and said:
“Ye-jiejie1sister Ye. Really not blood related. But you can refer to others as brother or sister in china, it was wrong of me to approach Brother Chu Feng without knowing he was your boyfriend. I won’t get close to Chu Feng anymore in the future, please don’t bully me again.”
“I’ve had a heart condition since I was young, my chest hurts so much.”
She was framed.
Just as Ye Bingli realized this, a furious reprimand came from behind her.
“Ye Bingli! What are you doing?”
Ye Bingli turned around blankly, only to see Chu Feng, who should have been in the club, inexplicably behind her. The sunshine prince, known for his gentleness, now wore an angry expression.
He quickly stepped forward, knelt down to support the pale-faced Ying Qian, and questioned, “How could you be so malicious? Qianqian doesn’t know anything, how could you take the initiative to hurt someone?!”
Ye Bingli looked at Chu Feng incredulously, “You believe her, but not me?”
Chu Feng sneered, “I only believe what I see!”
“Ying Qian is the second young lady of the Ying family. Why would she need to slander you?”
Ye Bingli’s heart felt desolate. She looked coldly at the feigned weakness of Ying Qian and the anger of Chu Feng, suddenly feeling that her so-called “trust” was actually so laughable.
Su Mo was so angry she wanted to rush forward and hit someone, but Ye Bingli stopped her.
“Chu Feng, let me ask you again, did you choose to believe Ying Qian?”
Seeing the disappointed and sad look in Ye Bingli’s eyes, Chu Feng’s heart suddenly trembled. But before he could think deeply, he heard the aggrieved Ying Qian in his arms say understandingly, “I’m sorry, Feng-ge2Brother Feng. Again, like I said. Bro and sis. You don’t need to be related, it’s all my fault. Don’t argue with Bingli, it’s okay, my heart has always been weak.”
The anger that had been extinguished by Ye Bingli’s cold gaze reignited once again because of Ying Qian’s words. Chu Feng exclaimed loudly, “I believe Ying Qian! Ye Bingli, after being with you for so long, I never realized you were such a jealous woman!”】
“I told you, Ying Qian has no good intentions,” muttered Jiang Que.
He had seen this kind of plot too many times in his resentful state, and there were only a few pages left in the book. He estimated that next would be Ye Bingli leaving heartbroken, while Chu Feng ended up with Ying Qian. Originally finding the book interesting, he now realized it was just as boring as humans.
However, when Jiang Que turned to the next page, he suddenly froze:
【 “Good, good, good.”
Ye Bingli, instead of getting angry, smiled. She laughed heartily in the blooming rose bushes, but it felt incredibly desolate.
Approaching him, she slapped Chu Feng hard across the face.
“Smack!“
The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the garden as Ye Bingli spoke indifferently:
“Chu Feng, remember what you said. I will make you regret it.”
With a toss of her purple long hair, she grabbed the almost tearful Su Mo standing beside her and walked away.
Rose petals were scattered all over the ground, just like her love, buried in this garden.
“Bingli, what should we do, Chu Feng, Chu Feng, he…”
Su Mo was at a loss, tears falling uncontrollably. Ye Bingli handed her a piece of paper, saying coldly:
“Why cry, have some backbone.”
“We can’t stay at this school for now, let’s leave first.”
Ye Bingli led Su Mo out, but she didn’t budge. Lowering her head, she saw Su Mo staring at her blankly:
“Bingli, you’ve changed.”
The old Bingli used to be cute and playful, but now she had become so cold and heartless, to the point where it made Su Mo feel sorry for her.
Ye Bingli chuckled lightly:
“Silly Momo, I’ve just seen things clearly.”
“The old Bingli, who was so foolish it was laughable, is dead, buried in the garden soil along with the roses. Don’t call me Bingli anymore.”
“Then… what should I call you?”
Su Mo blinked innocently.
Ye Bingli lowered her eyes, whispering softly, “Call me Luo Shang.”
The scattered petals symbolized the pain she had endured. She would never believe in love again. From now on, she existed only for revenge, a “Shang3premature death” devoid of emotions.】
[All in today, she will return a hundredfold to Chu Feng and Ying Qian, that scumbag man and despicable woman!]
“Plap.”
A large tear fell on the page, Jiang Que hastily wiped it away. He was about to continue flipping through the book when he realized it had reached its final page.
Is this how it ends? It can’t be, right? Why isn’t there content about Ye Bingli coming back for revenge?
In surprise, Jiang Que wiped away his tears with his hands, wanting to carefully read the contents at the back. However, the tentacles had already cherished and rolled up the incomplete ‘Revenge of the Three Princesses vs. The Three Icy Princes’, hiding the book in a little corner of their treasure trove.
Soft sobbing was heard:
[Too touching, Ye Bingli was betrayed, burying all her emotions and past in the scattered rose petals, becoming cold and heartless, a machine only seeking revenge. This is just like us, betrayed by humans!]
[I will become cold too. Withered tentacles represent my buried past. From now on, I am emotionless, solely focusing on retaliating against humans, call me ‘Chu4its the Chu from ChuJiao觸角 which means Tentacles‘]
[You are so childish, I don’t want this kind of code name.]
Jiang Que’s fingers, wiping away tears, couldn’t help but curl slightly.
Code name… sounds cool.
After all, the tentacles were him. He naturally knew where the emotional tentacles came from, but that didn’t stop him from feeling moved while pretending to disdain the childish tentacles.
He had grown up, much more mature than his tentacles. He wouldn’t do such childish things.
Just then, there was the sound of another heavy object falling.
Lost in the heavy emotions of wanting to darken but still maintaining composure, Jiang Que didn’t react immediately. By the time he used the tentacles to investigate what had fallen, it was already too late.
A man felt his way along the wall and walked up to him.
Jiang Que froze, forgetting to even wipe away his tears, staring blankly at the man.
[A human, a living human.]
[Why would a human suddenly appear here?]
The newcomer was dressed in work clothes, carrying a huge travel backpack on his back. With short black hair and handsome, tough features, his lips were tightly pressed together, giving him a somewhat fierce expression.
His sleeves were rolled up, revealing strong arms, and his large clothing couldn’t hide his slender figure.
The moment he saw Jiang Que, the man’s fierce expression froze stiff on his face.
His expression suddenly turned very strange, an emotional display that Jiang Que had never seen before.
It didn’t look like sadness, nor did it seem like anger, but he just couldn’t understand.
Under Jiang Que’s puzzled gaze, the man half knelt down, squatting to meet his eyes while he sat on the ground. The muscles on his back formed a pleasing curve.
The man’s voice was gentle, cautiously probing, afraid of scaring Jiang Que, who was trapped in the cold array, silently shedding tears while biting his lower lip.
“Are you feeling unwell? Why are you crying?”
Strangely, even though Jiang Que had never seen the man before, the moment he spoke, Jiang Que felt a dull pain spreading from the depths of his heart. He could even guess the man’s next words.
‘Don’t cry, it’s okay.’
“Don’t cry, it’s okay.”
The man’s deep voice and his own guess almost sounded simultaneously in his mind, as if guided by some mysterious gravitational force.
Thump, thump.
He shouldn’t have a heartbeat, but the sourness in his chest couldn’t be suppressed. It felt as if the emptiness was suddenly being filled, making him uncomfortable.
Tears flowed even more, completely beyond the realm of being moved by a novel just now. Jiang Que didn’t even know what was wrong with himself, just staring blankly at the man, shedding tears uncontrollably.
The pain where the tentacles were severed was intense, eating something hard would hurt, and the feeling of hunger now was unbearable.
The pains that had been intentionally or unintentionally ignored suddenly became vivid at this moment.
Gege.
I’m so hungry, so lonely.
Jiang Que didn’t speak, but in his heart, there was a small voice, complaining so plaintively.
