Chapter5

  There will be an angel loving you instead Chapter 5 (1)

  The door of the infirmary was kicked open with a loud "bang"!

  The loud noise made school doctor Yang Run's hand with the syringe shake, almost pricking the needle into a position next to the vein of the sick girl. He slightly furrowed his brow, ignoring the commotion and continued injecting.

  "Hey! Come here!"

  A fierce voice roared in the medical room.

  Yang Run pushed the needle all the way in and used an alcohol swab to wipe down the injection site for the sick girl, saying softly: "Come back this afternoon for the final shot."

  "School doctor! Come over and listen!" The voice was tinged with anger.

  "Thank you, doctor." The sick girl couldn't help but glance towards the door and saw a pair of fiery eyes that seemed to be capable of killing someone. It was terrifying! She was so scared that she hastily fled the medical office.

  Yang Run threw the needle and cotton ball into the waste bin.

  "Are you deaf?!"

  The roar of voices was deafening beside Yang Run.

  Yang Run did not lift his head, his right hand pointed, and as he looked in the direction of his finger, a white wall hung with a sign -

  "Please keep your voice down."

  Yin Tangyao's face turned pale and then red, the veins on his forehead bulging out, if he wasn't still holding Xiao Mi in his arms, his fists would have already flown out!

  "Hmph!"

  Xiaomi was secretly laughing in his arms, since coming to Shengyu, it was the first time she saw Yin Tangyao being so weak. From the classroom to the infirmary, he held her tightly all the way, her bones were almost crushed by his hug, it hurt so much.

  "What's so funny?!" Yin Tangyao glared at her angrily.

  "Ah..." Xiaomi tried hard to gather up the smile on his face, coughed once, "Finally arrived at the infirmary, I'm so happy, hehe."

  Yin Tangyao glared at her fiercely, but somehow he still felt that there was a strange smile in the depths of her eyes.

  "Cough, you shouldn't have spoken like that earlier, the school doctor..."

  "Shut up!" Yin Tangyao bellowed at Xiao Mi, "You're lecturing me because of him?! You didn't say you liked——"

  He suddenly stopped talking, his face stiff like a dead man's, his lips pursed very tightly.

  Yang Run finished collecting his work and turned around to size up the boy who spoke very loudly.

  The boy was tall and handsome, with sun-kissed blond hair and a diamond stud in his nose. His features were chiseled and beautiful, but also strong-willed and defiant. He had his arms wrapped around a girl, holding her in a slightly stiff posture, as if he were an awkward boy who didn't know how to handle his precious doll.

  "Are you Yin Tao Yao?" Yang Run asked.

  Yin Tang Yao raised an eyebrow: "I don't recognize you." Before this, he had never set foot in the medical room.

  "Pei You is my junior fellow apprentice." In college, Yang Run and Pei You were very close friends. Several times, he had seen photos of him and Yin Tangyao together in Pei You's wallet, and also heard Pei You mention some things about Yin Tangyao.

  "Oh." Yin Tangyao said gloomily, it turned out to be You's friend.

  "People with heart disease shouldn't get too angry," Yang Rundan said calmly.

  "Good grief!"

  Yin Tang cursed in a low voice, this stinky Yu! In his anger, his arm tightened, and the bones of the millet made a faint "crackling" sound.

  "Pain..."

  Xiaomi whispered softly.

  "If you don't put the patient on the bed, she will be strangled to death by you." Yang Run shook his head. The gentle and considerate Pei You actually became friends with the reckless and eccentric Yin Tangyao, truly a strange world.

  Yin Tang Yao was stunned, looked down at the small millet in his arms, saw her face flushed and coughing, panting slightly, frowned and cursed, walked quickly to the bedside, and put her down.

  "Thank you."

  Xiaomi coughed and said to him.

  Yin Tang Yao covered her mouth and nose with a quilt, wrapping her tightly inside, like a cocoon, then shouted to Yang Run:

  "Hey! Come quickly and take a look at her!"

  Yang Run walked over slowly, with a faint smile on his lips, as if nothing was on his mind.

  "Hurry up!" Yoon Tae-oh bellowed!

  "Don't... " Xiao Mi grasped his wrist, her palm burning hot, her strength as light as a feather. "You yelled so loudly that my ears are ringing and I'm getting dizzy..."

  "Really?" Although he didn't believe his own roar had such great power, for some unknown reason, he still lowered his voice.

  Xiaomi blinked her eyes: "Gotcha, just kidding."

  "You——"

  "I'm very happy." She smiled, her smile seemed transparent, and her hand remained on his wrist, gentle and warm.

  Yin Tang glared at her.

  "Thank you for being so good to me," she closed her eyes and sighed, "You know? You're as good as an angel..."

  Angel? What nonsense! Yun Tang Yao frowned.

  Yang Run looked at Yin Tangyao with a mixture of surprise and curiosity for half a day, trying to find the shadow of an angel on him. After looking left and right, he finally determined that he was still in the process of evolving into an angel, and whether his evolution from human to angel was as long as the evolution from ape to human was still a very profound topic.

  "I'm not an angel!" Yin Tao Yao said with a twisted expression, hating this kind of mushy phrase.

  “……Oh.” Xiao Mi weakly scratched her hair. Ah, it's okay, angels usually don't admit to being angels themselves. She opened her eyes and maintained the smile on her lips, “That... you don't have to be so good to me... I will... be at a loss for words...” Having gotten used to his fierce appearance, suddenly seeing him flustered and gentle, somehow, she felt a pang of heartache.

  "I didn't treat you well. However, I promised that if you found the diamond, I would be with you for a month." Yin Tangyao said with a cold face, but the wolf-like light in his eyes slightly revealed his tension.

  "Oh...I see..."

  His tension seemed to have transmitted to Xiao Mi, who panicked and started coughing violently.

  "School doctor!"

  Yin Tangyao started yelling loudly again, with a bulging vein on his forehead.

  Yang Run has arrived at Xiaomi's bedside. He helps her sit up, gently pats her back and assists her in breathing smoothly: "How many days have you had a fever?"

  There will be an angel loving you instead of me Chapter 5 (2)

  "Cough... cough... four days..."

  "It's been so long and it still hasn't gotten better?" Yang Run frowned.

  Xiaomi covered her mouth and coughed. Cough, actually should have been better, but jumped into the cold water of the fountain again.

  "Hey! Let her go!"

  Yin Tang Yao Huo Da Di grabbed Yang Run's collar and flung him away with one hand!

  "Who allowed you to touch her!"

  Suddenly losing Yang Run's support, Xiaomi "thudded" heavily and fell back onto the hospital bed! Ah, she groaned in a low voice, it hurts so much. Fortunately, the pillow was soft, otherwise this would have definitely caused her to miscarry.

  "Tell me quickly, how is she?! Does she need to be hospitalized?!" Yin Tangyao's face was full of anger as he glared at Yang Run who had been thrown to the side.

  Yang Rundeeply breathed in and suppressed the anger in his heart. This stinky little brat, if he didn't know that he was ill, he really wanted to give him a good beating.

  "It's nothing. Take some medicine and rest for a day or two, you'll be fine," Yang Run walked back to the desk by the window, picked up his pen and wrote on the medical record, "However—"

  "What?" Yun Tangyao asked back.

  "If someone yells at her all day and doesn't let her have a moment's peace, she'll recover very slowly," Yang Rundan said calmly.

  Yin Tang was stunned. Was he an idiot?! This remark could deceive a ghost! However... "You yelled so loudly that my ears are ringing and I'm getting dizzy..."

  He looked at Yang Run and then at Xiao Mi, his lips suddenly pursed tightly.

  For the rest of that morning, Yoon Tae-oh didn't say a single word.

  Qī Guǒguǒ couldn't believe her eyes when, while eating popcorn and listening to English on the radio in her dorm room, Yǐn Tángyào suddenly walked in carrying Xiao Mǐ! He clumsily put Xiao Mǐ down on the bed, had her lie down, covered her with a quilt, and ordered her to sleep.

  Then he turned around and stared at Qi GuoGuo who was stunned, walked over in big strides and turned off the radio that was making a hissing sound:

  "Don't listen! It will disturb Xiao Mi!"

  Qī Guǒguǒ's mouth was agape, unable to utter a word. In the classroom, she thought that Yǐn Tángyào was just having a temporary mental breakdown, but she didn't expect it to last this long.

  Yin Tangyao snatched the popcorn from her hand again and growled:

  "This is too loud to eat!"

  Qī Guǒguǒ stared blankly, her eyes even forgetting to blink.

  Yin Tangyao glared at her for a while, frowning and saying: "Go to the library! Xiaomi needs rest, it's too noisy in your dorm!"

  The dormitory door slammed shut!

  Qī Guǒguǒ was thrown out of the dormitory by Yǐn Tángyào. She stood there foolishly, shaking her head, unable to figure out what was going on. That place seemed to be her dorm; that person, Xiǎomǐ, seemed to be her friend; and that person, who had always been mean to Xiǎomǐ, was him!

  There is still—

  Even going to the library requires bringing a backpack, right?!

  Qing woke up and knocked on the door with force:

  "Hey! Open the door! My backpack is still inside! And it's you who should be leaving! Let me take care of Xiaomi, she'll only get worse if you do!"

  The door is open.

  Qiu Guo Guo almost fell in due to insufficient strength!

  A book bag covered her face, and before she could even step back into the dormitory, it was slammed shut again with a loud "bang"!

  Yin Tangyao's voice thundered from inside the door:

  "If you dare to disturb Xiaomi's rest again, I'll snap your neck!"

  What a fierce roar!

  Qī Guǒguǒ shivered, struggled with her thoughts for half a day, and finally decided to give in. She squatted down to pick up her backpack, preparing to obediently go to the library to report, when her eyes suddenly widened...

  Cut!

  Yoon Dang Yeo pulled out Xiaomi's school bag!

  Yoon Tae-oh is an idiot!

  Yin Tangyao is a pig!

  From that day on, except for late at night, basically no one was allowed to "disturb" Xiao Mi's rest in the dormitory. Qi Guo Guo, Cheng Yuan and Yang Ke Wei could only wander outside every day. Cheng Yuan didn't care, she originally spent her days studying in the library, but Qi Guo Guo and Yang Ke Wei were miserable. Yang Ke Wei was so angry that her face turned blue, but she didn't dare to lose her temper in front of Yin Tang Yao, hehe, watching her interesting expression became Qi Guo Guo's only entertainment these days.

  But Xiaomi's illness really got better quickly.

  "If I get sick again, you guys won't care about me anymore." Xiao Mi said with a hint of shame to Qi GuoGuo who was lying comfortably on the dormitory bed.

  "Hmm!"

  "I'm sorry..."

  "Hmmph!"

  "Guo Guo......" Xiaomi scratched her hair, with a worried look on her face.

  "Hmph!" Qi Guo glared at her, "You're the precious one, we're all just weeds! Infuriating!"

  "Sorry, Guo Guo." Xiao Mi lowered her head. She knew that Yin Tao Yao had gone too far, but he didn't give her any chance to speak. As soon as she opened her mouth, he would yell at her to shut up. If she insisted on talking, he would cover her mouth with a quilt.

  "Yin Tangyao is an idiot!" Qi Guoguo said with a straight face, repeating what she had been saying for the past few days.

  "Oh."

  "Oh my god! He's an idiot, you still like him, you're even bigger idiot than he is!"

  "Oh."

  "What's wrong with you!" Qi Guo glared at her.

  "Idiot, I'm an idiot, of course 'oh'!" Xiaomi laughed like an idiot.

  "Cut! Can't take it from you!"

  Qiu Guo couldn't help but laugh, and with this one laugh, she really couldn't get angry again.

  "What exactly do you like about Yoon Tae-oh? Xiaomi."

  Xiaomi's smile gradually faded, her expression becoming calm. At that moment, Qi Guoguo seemed to see a deep and unforgettable emotion flowing in the depths of her eyes. Then, Xiaomi smiled again, a faint smile, like the gentle breeze outside the window on a summer afternoon.

  "As long as it's him, everything is likable."

  After the cold current passed, the weather suddenly became very hot. The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the library reading room, shining in warmly. In front of row upon row of bookshelves, students were buried in searching for various books and magazines materials, on the long table, the pens in the hands of the students "rustled" as they took notes while reading.

  There will be an angel loving you instead of me Chapter 5 (3)

  Xiaomi walked over with a stack of academic journals, sat down, and wiped the sweat from her forehead. She flipped through the pages, carefully reading each one, and whenever she saw an article with the words "human resources", she inserted a bookmark. After half an hour, she had used up more than ten bookmarks.

  Yeah, it's about right.

  She stretched her shoulders, covered her mouth and yawned, then looked at Yin Tao-yao who was sleeping soundly on the table beside her.

  "Hey... wake up..." She nudged his shoulder.

  He continued sleeping, his eyebrows furrowed tightly as if desperately resisting the damned disturbance.

  "Hey, wake up!" she whispered in his ear.

  Ugh... How infuriating! This warm sunshine is just perfect for sleeping! Who doesn't want to live?! His hand clenched into a fist on the table, his eyes tightly shut, and a curse ground out from between his teeth.

  "Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up..."

  Like a mantra, the humming sound revolved around him. His fists clenched with a cracking sound, Yin Tangyao suddenly lifted his head, and flames of anger burst out from the bottom of his eyes! Do you want to die?!

  Xiaomi was quietly looking at the paper.

  She lowered her head, with a serene smile on her lips. Hearing his movements, she turned around and smiled in surprise: "Ah, I was just about to call you, and you woke up, great."

  "Earlier..." Yoon Tae-oh glared at her. It was clearly her voice that had been disturbing him!

  "I was just about to call you, but," she smiled adorably, "seeing how soundly you were sleeping, I thought I'd let you sleep a bit longer." He looked terrifying.

  "Isn't it you?!"

  "What's wrong with me?" Xiaomi scratched her hair in confusion, and suddenly her eyes lit up with a smile, "You just dreamed of me, didn't you?"

  Yin Tang Yao narrowed his eyes and scrutinized her skeptically.

  "What did I dream about?" She smiled happily, "Tell me quickly!"

  "I dreamt you turned into a buzzing fly!"

  "It's impossible."

  "Why?"

  "The buzzing sound is made by bees."

  “……”

  "Flies should go 'hum', so it's impossible." She had a lovely smile on her face, with a hint of sigh in her voice, "You'd better read more books, or you won't make these... ah... mistakes."

  As she spoke, she piled a thick stack of periodicals in front of him.

  "I've bookmarked the parts you need to see, there aren't many. You go ahead and take a look, I'll keep searching for materials."

  Xiaomi lowered her head, using her hand to support her cheek, and flipped open a new issue of the magazine. Secretly, her eyes rolled around, yeah! Her mouth curved into a bright smile in the palm of her hand, hehe, no matter what he became, she could still coax him into being dazed and confused, so cute!

  Yin Tang stared blankly at the journal on the table.

  Dreaming? Honey bee? Fly?...... Hey! Is he an idiot?! And obviously heard her giggling secretly!

  "Hey!" he growled in a low voice.

  She hastily suppressed the smile on her lips and put on a serious listening expression:

  "What?"

  Doesn't look like it at all! Yin Tangyao cursed in a low voice, her lips curled up with a sly smile, and her eyes shone suspiciously, just like a little fox that had just stolen a chicken.

  Only

  Looks even more adorable than when you're sick.

  "Why am I watching this stuff?!"

  Flipping through the stack of periodicals, the bookmarks were stuck in boring places like "Human Resources", Yin Tao Yao impatiently pushed them aside, almost hitting the head of the boy reading next to him.

  "Sorry, sorry..." Xiaomi hastily apologized to the classmate with a smile, and brought the journals back in front of Yin Tao, saying softly, "You forgot that paper?"

  "Which one?"

  Xiaomi suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, coughed, and reminded herself that angels couldn't have unrefined expressions. She took a deep breath and smiled sweetly: "The Human Resources teacher's article."

  Yin Tangyao finally caught a glimpse of a fleeting shadow in his distant memories.

  "… Didn't you write it for me?"

  "I wrote it for you."

  "What else can I write?" Yin Tao Yao doubted that her brain was muddled.

  Xiaomi kept a straight face, trying hard not to let her white eyes burst out from under the surface. She squeezed out a dry smile:

  "You're very honest, you said the thesis isn't yours."

  Yin Tang was stunned, and suddenly felt as if there were golden stars flying before his eyes.

  Xiaomi smiled: "So, you must hand in a new paper to the teacher before Friday."

  "You're smiling very wickedly." Amidst the twinkling golden stars, Yoon Tae-oh still saw her sly smile.

  "Whatever, cough!" Xiao Mi coughed and lowered her head. When she lifted it again, it was a pure smile like an angel's. "Actually, I appreciate your honesty and courage. It was my mistake to take the liberty of doing your paper for you. So, you'd better do this paper well."

  "Write it for me."

  "......?" Xiaomi was stunned.

  "Didn't you hear? You write it for me!"

  A thick stack of journal materials was pushed back in front of her, and Yin Tao yao fell asleep again on the long table in the library.

  "But last time you—"

  "At that time I didn't know what kind of trick you were playing."

  "What's gotten into you?"

  "For example, trying to blackmail me with a thesis, forcing me to be in contact with you." He glared at her, his tone icy.

  Xiaomi Zhang is so garrulous. Stinky brat, is she the kind of person who would coerce others?! A big white eye rolls out. Finally understand how Lv Dongbin felt when he was bitten.

  "Hey!"

  She was sulky.

  "You look ugly when you roll your eyes." His voice was cold as a knife.

  "Did I turn white-eyed?" She looked left and right, crawling under the table to search, "Where did it roll to? Why can't I see it?"

  "Xiaomi!" Yin Tao Yao's expression twisted.

  She scratched her hair and looked at him curiously: "Do you want to laugh or cry?"

  There will be an angel loving you instead of me Chapter 5 (4)

  Yin Tang Yao gave her head a loud slap!

  It hurts so much!!!

  Xiaomi covered his head and cried out in pain.

  "And another thing, wasn't it you who pushed me out of the taxi that time?!" Yin Tangyao glared at him. It was really strange, when she was sick she was as weak as a reed, but when she wasn't sick she was very annoying.

  Xiaomi's eyes widened in admiration:

  "Wow, you still remember things from so long ago! Alright, let's not bring it up!"

  "Did you forget?" His voice came out from between his teeth.

  She nodded desperately.

  Bang!

  Another explosion went off in her mind.

  "Remembered it yet?" His eyes were terrifying.

  Xiaomi covered her head, looking suddenly enlightened: "Ah! I remembered!" She chuckled and stretched out her hand: "The taxi fare is 16 yuan in total. I won't charge interest."

  "Bang!"

  His massive palm slapped her palm!

  "It hurts so much!!! Tears welled up in her eyes, she pitifully rubbed her red and swollen palm, "It's so painful... my hand hurts, my head hurts..."

  She's pretending! Yoon Tae-oh looked at her with a poker face.

  Her palms seemed a bit swollen and red, her forehead also seemed to be swollen and red, she lowered her head, her shoulders slightly trembling.

  "Hello."

  He called her.

  She still hung her head low, except for the trembling of her shoulders, she was as silent as a stone statue.

  "Let me see!" He pulled her hand over, and as soon as their fingers touched, her palm felt scorching hot. Damn it! He hadn't even used much force! With pursed lips, his eyes were filled with a remorseful expression.

  "Does it hurt?"

  He gave her a massage.

  "It won't hurt much if you just blow on it," she said softly, her voice trembling slightly.

  "That's all nonsense!" He scowled, damn it, only an idiot would do something so stupid.

  She fell silent again, and her shoulders began to tremble.

  Students in the library are quietly reading books, occasionally one or two students whispering to each other. The sunlight shines gently and elegantly through the glass window.

  Yin Tang Yao's face was stern, his good-looking eyebrows furrowed to the point where they could pinch a fly to death. He lowered his head and pulled her hand to an angle that wasn't easily noticeable by another classmate.

  "Hoo—!"

  He blew a big mouthful of air onto her palm!

  It's so itchy! Xiaomi couldn't bear it anymore and burst out laughing softly, hurriedly covering her mouth with her hand, not daring to laugh too loudly.

  Yin Tang glared at her.

  Xiaomi covered her mouth with both hands and laughed, it was really, really too cute! She laughed so hard that tears of joy sparkled at the corners of her eyes. She knew, she just knew, no matter what he looked like, he would always be good to her.

  Rice! Love!

  Yin Tang Yao let out a cold, low growl.

  The teachers and classmates in the library all looked over at him and her.

  "Shh!"

  She made a silencing gesture and said in her lowest voice: "Shh. This is a library."

  "You're fooling me!" Yin Tao Yao accused her angrily.

  "Yes." She stuck out her tongue.

  He didn't expect her to admit her crime so calmly, he stared at her, for a moment unable to think of what to say next.

  "It's what you promised."

  "Damn it! What have I gotten myself into?!"

  "You said you'd go out with me for a month, so for this month, you're my boyfriend." Xiao Mi smiled mischievously and continued flipping through the magazine. "Just teasing one's own boyfriend, what's the big deal?"

  As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Yin Tao-yao, who was frozen in place.

  "Hello."

  "What's wrong with you!" He growled.

  "It doesn't hurt anymore."

  “……”

  "Thank you." Her eyes curved like a bright moon.

  Yin Tangyao fell silent for a moment, then lay back down on the long table and went to sleep, muttering: "Write your thesis yourself! Don't bother me again, or I'll smash your brains!"

  In the late afternoon, Xiaomi walked back to her dormitory with a batch of copied materials in her arms. A faint smile still lingered on her lips. She took a deep breath, and the summer air was warm and fragrant, with a refreshing scent that touched her heart. Ah, it's really beautiful! Actually, using "beautiful" to describe the fragrance seems not quite appropriate, but this is the only word that comes to mind.

  She searched far and wide for fragrance.

  On the windowsill of the administrator's room, a bunch of white flowers was placed. A small glass bottle, half-filled with clear water, dark green leaves, and four or five pure white flowers that quietly bloomed, emitting a faint fragrance that seemed to transcend time and space, reaching deep into Xiao Mi's heart.

  "What kind of flower is this?"

  She curiously and carefully touched its petals with her fingertips.

  Cheng Auntie closed the completed dormitory building work log, looked up and smiled kindly: "It's Gardenia."

  "Jasmine flower?" Xiao Mi softly exclaimed. She had only heard of jasmine flowers in books before, saying they were pure and fragrant. But she had never had the chance to see them with her own eyes. Unexpectedly, it was even more lovely than the legend.

  "Do you like it?"

  "Wow! Such beautiful flowers, and they smell so good!"

  Aunt Cheng got up, took the bottle of jasmine flowers and handed it to Xiaomi, smiling: "Then I'll give it to you. Remember to change the water every day, and it can still bloom for about three or four more days."

  "No, no..." Xiao Mi hastily put the flowers back and said apologetically, "Cheng Auntie, when I was sick a few days ago, you took care of me all the time and were so good to me... my heart... I don't know how to thank you... I can't take your flowers again..."

  "Stupid child..." Aunt Chen held her hand, patting the back of it. "You've just transferred here and many places are unfamiliar to you, so taking care of you is a must. And also, I heard them mention that you've been wronged recently."

  Xiaomi bit her lip: "No, everyone has been very good to me."

  There will be an angel loving you instead of me Chapter 5 (5)

  Aunt Cheng gazed at her, smiling: "Xiaomi, Auntie likes you. From the first day you moved into the dormitory, Auntie has liked you very much. So, from now on, if there's anything that happens, remember to tell Auntie, and Auntie will help you."

  Xiaomi's eyes turned red: "Uh-huh, I know, thank you Auntie." When she was very young, her mother had passed away, and her father was a Red Cross doctor who spent most of the year abroad helping patients and disaster victims. The warmth of Cheng Auntie's care was like a warm current flowing into her body, wanting to turn into tears and burst out.

  "Take the flowers away." Aunt Cheng put the jasmine flowers back in her hands. "If you like, put them by your bed, smell their fragrance, and your mood will improve, then your body will recover faster."

  "Hmm!"

  Xiaomi didn't say anything else. She took a deep breath, suddenly put down the flowers and documents she had been holding in her hand, and suddenly opened her arms to hug Cheng Ayi.

  "Auntie Cheng, I like you too!"

  After she finished speaking, her face turned a little red, and with a backhand movement, she picked up the flowers and documents, and ran upstairs with a bang.

  Cheng Auntie gazed at the disappearing figure of Xiao Mi, a warm smile on her face, as if a soft and gentle light enveloped her entire being.

  There is no one in the dormitory.

  Xiaomi put the jasmine flower on her desk, leaned in to sniff the fragrance, ah, feeling good enough to sing a song, hehe. She opened those materials, sat down, and prepared to start writing her thesis. This time when she finishes the first draft of her paper, she must get Yin Tangyao's opinion, otherwise if the teacher asks about it again, she'll be exposed once more.

  The orange highlighter slowly marked out valuable content.

  She was completely absorbed in it.

  The sky outside is getting darker and darker.

  "Dong dong dong——"

  The sudden ringing of the mobile phone music startled Xiao Mi.

  "Hello? Hello."

  "Xiaomi..."

  The sound from the phone left her stunned. For a few seconds, she forgot to breathe, sitting stiffly, her fingers gradually tightening around the pen in her hand.

  "Dad, you're back in the country." She said softly. It was only after returning to the country that her dad would remember to give her a call.

  "Xiaomi..." His father's sigh, "How could you transfer schools without telling your dad, why did you have to go so far away? And how come your phone number changed too? If not for Haoyang's help, were you planning on cutting off contact with your dad?"

  "No, I thought Dad wouldn't be back in the country until November, didn't want to disturb your work." Xiaomi's voice was very polite. "It's still more convenient and cost-effective to change phone numbers here, I plan to contact Dad after he returns to the country."

  "Xiaomi, it's been half a year since then, don't..."

  "Dad!" Xiao Mi hastily said, "How has your body been recently? Is there anything interesting happening in Guinea?"

  "It's okay, don't worry." Father hesitated for a moment and finally sighed, "The climate in the south is very different from the north. You have to take good care of yourself there, don't get sick, and don't make Dad worry."

  "Uh-huh."

  "I will leave for Iraq in a few days, about three or four months."

  "It seems like it's chaotic there, Dad, you need to be careful."

  "Alright. Let's both take care of ourselves. Paused for a moment, "Xiaomi, do you have enough money on hand? I'll transfer some more to you before Dad leaves."

  "No need, there are many poor children in other countries who need that money more. I have enough here."

  "Xiaomi, Dad is sorry to you."

  "Dad, what are you talking about?" Xiao Mi smiled. "I'm so proud to have a father like you, who cares for so many people in need just like an angel. And I've grown up now, I won't cling to Dad and cry like I did when I was little."

  On the other end of the phone, there was a long silence, and Xiaomi seemed to hear his father's sigh.

  "Dad, what's wrong? I'm really fine, you don't have to worry." She said with a smile.

  "From now on, will it be okay if Dad calls you once every two weeks?"

  "Okay."

  Then, both of them suddenly didn't know what to say. Since her mother passed away when she was seven years old, the time they spent talking this time had already exceeded the total time they spoke in half a year before.

  "Xiaomi, Haoyang is beside me, he wants to talk to you."

  "What's going on?" Xiao Mi was stunned, then said somewhat flusteredly, "Never mind, I'm a bit busy right now..."

  But a voice had already rushed into her ears——

  "Rice!"

  A sorrowful and low cry, carrying memories of past nightmares, rushed into Xiaomi's ears!

  "Xiaomi, did you hear me? I'm Haoyang!"

  Xiaomi closed her eyes and forced all her memories to settle down. She gripped the fluorescent pen in her hand and let out a breath.

  "Hao Yang..."

  "You actually ran away! Not even a word of goodbye?! Do you know how hard I looked for you?! I thought you were missing, I thought something had happened to you! Why didn't you discuss such a big thing like transferring schools with me?!"

  Xiaomi bit her lip: "Sorry, Haoyang..."

  "He's dead! Xiaomi, he's dead!!" The voice roared, as if it could rush over from the phone and grab her, shaking her violently.

  "Zheng Haoyang..." Xiao Mi's face turned pale.

  "He's dead! In the hospital morgue, you touched his corpse! It was icy cold and purple, without a hint of life! He's dead! He's thoroughly dead! That person is not Akira at all! Even if he had Akira's heart, he wouldn't be Akira! Wake up, won't you? Have you really gone mad?"

  Xiaomi's body began to tremble, the angry voice inside her phone accompanied by the pitch-black night outside the window, like a ferocious demon claw, swallowed her into a nightmare where one couldn't see their fingers.

  "Xiaomi, come back, Xiao has already..."

  "Say that word again." Xiao Mi said in a low voice, "If you say that word again, Zheng Hao Yang, I swear you will no longer be friends with me and Yan."

  There will be an angel loving you instead of me Chapter 5 (6)

  Take a deep breath on the other end of the phone.

  "Xiaomi..."

  "Zheng Haoyang, you clearly know that Yi is still alive, he's still living in this world! As long as he's around, even if it's just a single finger or a single strand of hair, I'll be by his side! Where I go, whether I'm good or not, doesn't need to be told to you. I like Yi, and even after a thousand years, ten thousand years later, the one I like will still only be Yi. You... just forget about me."

  She snapped her phone shut, biting her lips tightly as her body shook violently, the air thick with jasmine fragrance making it hard for her to breathe.

  The next day...

  Why do they all say you're dead? You're clearly alive, living perfectly well. I can hear your breathing, see your smile and feel your body temperature. You are alive, I know it, I know you will never leave me...

  But

  Why tears are spreading wildly on my face...

  Bitter tears, streaming down her face, moistening her pale lips. Her heart was icy cold, gasping for breath, but no matter how hard she breathed, she couldn't seem to get any air, as if the icy torrent of tears had flooded into her heart, leaving no room to breathe...

  The kitten is lying on the desk.

  She couldn't hear the sound of crying, her shadow was stretched out by the desk lamp. The jasmine flowers were quietly exhaling a faint fragrance, their petals as white as if they had lost blood.

  "Ding Dong Ding~~~"

  The mobile phone music rings again.

  Xiaomi covered her ears, she didn't want to listen, didn't want to hear those inexplicable words!

  The mobile phone music is ringing loudly and persistently with a "ding dong" sound.

  She grabbed her phone and was about to remove the battery when she saw the incoming call display -

  Yin Tangyao

  When was it stored? In her tears, her mind went blank.

  "Hey! Why did it take you so long to answer the phone!"

  “……”

  "Speak up!"

  “……”

  "Are you crying?" Yun Tangyao's voice was a mix of panic and anger. "Who bullied you? Tell me!"

  "No, I just..." Xiaomi hastily wiped away her tears, coughed a few times to clear the lump in her throat.

  "What's that?"

  "I want to see you..." Xiao Mi said softly with her eyes closed.

  "......" Yin Tangyao paused for a while, "Hey! I just saw you this afternoon, and I'll be very busy tonight, no time."

  "Haha, I was just kidding."

  "Really?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Let's meet at the entrance of the Business School at 8 o'clock tonight." Yin Tangyao said firmly.

  “……”

  "I'm giving you just 20 minutes! If there's anything to say, say it quickly then hang up!"

  The phone rang with a "ding ding ding" sound.

  The fragrance of jasmine flowers is wafting gently over.

  In front of the desk, Xiaomi took a deep breath and told herself to cheer up! She pinched her cheeks and flashed a brilliant smile in the mirror on the desk, although tears were still hidden in the smile.

  The stars twinkled in the night sky.

  The small playground of the Business School has dim streetlights, several boys are laughing and kicking a ball in the middle of the court, the plastic track is no longer visible in color under the night sky, and the outdoor movie theater next to it occasionally transmits intermittent dialogue, music and students' loud laughter.

  Xiaomi is jogging slowly around the track.

  Sweat dripped down, she ran slowly, the night wind blew gently, and the sweat was blown dry only to be replaced by new sweat. Her body ran hot, sweating with a refreshing feeling. Everyone's bodily fluids are limited, if they became sweat, they wouldn't become tears again, would they?

  She ran slowly.

  The smile on her lips was as transparent as an angel's wings in the night.

  When she ran to the fifth lap, a figure appeared under the streetlights by the side of the track. He was tall and slender, his hair wet as if he had just washed it, refreshing like the stars twinkling faintly, the diamond on his nose bridge jumping out with dazzling light. Under the night sky of the playground, at that moment, he really shone like a star, making the real stars pale in comparison.

  He stared at Xiaomi and beckoned her with his finger.

  Xiaomi walked by in a daze.

  "I told you to wait for me at the entrance of the business school, how did you end up here?! Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Yin Tao's eyes were blazing with anger. Damn it, he had just finished showering and hadn't even had time to dry his hair, but she was strolling along like a ghost!

  "Ah, is it 8 o'clock already? I thought..." She rummaged through her bag in a flurry to grab her phone and check the time.

  7:40

  She scratched her hair awkwardly: "Sorry, maybe my phone's time is slow. Uh... have you been waiting for me for a long time?"

  Yin Tang's face was tense and he didn't say a word. He wouldn't let her know that he had just finished taking a bath and came out, without even checking the time.

  Xiaomi whispered to him: "Thank you."

  "You're welcome!"

  She smiled lightly: "Nothing, just wanted to thank you." Only when she saw him, by his side, could the panicked and fearful heartbeat slowly calm down.

  Yin Tang stared at her for half a day.

  What a weird woman!

  He reached out and grasped her chin, facing the streetlight, furrowing his brow as he scrutinized her face.

  "Why are you crying?"

  "I don't have..."

  "Speak quickly!" He pinched her chin tightly, his voice fierce, and she gasped in pain.

  "Pain..."

  "Your eyes are red and swollen, do you think I'm an idiot?! Tell me, who bullied you! Is it that..." He suddenly stopped talking.

  "Who?" Xiao Mi forgot her pain and asked curiously.

  "Cough! Yang Kewe." His face had a somewhat strange expression. "Is she bullying you?!"

  "Why was it her?" became even more curious.

  "Just say yes or no! Stop wasting words!" He growled, his expression even stranger.

  "Have you ever been in a relationship with Kuiwei?" He remembered that the first time he saw him in the classroom, Guoguo said that Yang Kuiwei and Nalou were both his girlfriends.

  There will be an angel loving you instead of me Chapter 5 (7)

  "No!"

  "Then why did she bully me?" She blinked her eyes, "You, you kind of look down on girls."

  He glared at her with a scowl on his face.

  "Even if you reject me, it doesn't mean I'll hate you. You're too arrogant. Although Qian Wei isn't very fond of me, she's never bullied me either. I think she's actually a pretty cute girl." She smiled sweetly, her eyes curving upwards.

  "Arrogant?!"

  "Hehe," she scratched her head nervously. Oh no, did she really say those two words?

  "You say I'm arrogant?!" He was on the verge of anger.

  "Ah......that......" She thought for a moment, "That......ah! Right! Is it twenty minutes?"

  "What's twenty minutes!"

  "You said you'd only see me for twenty minutes," she took out her phone to check, beaming with a smile, "it's almost been twenty minutes now, you can go back, hehe."

  "Rice loving..." He gritted his teeth viciously.

  A perilous aura...

  Xiaomi cautiously retreated half a step back.

  Bang!

  A water balloon exploded on her forehead! She let out a pained cry. Alas, she still didn't manage to dodge it.

  "Am I someone you can summon and dismiss at will? Are you kidding me?" Yin Tangyao glared at her, "I'm not going anywhere!"

  "Oh."

  Xiaomi rubbed her forehead. If you don't leave, then don't leave, why hit people.

  "Does it hurt?"

  His tone was harsh.

  She moaned: "It hurts."

  "Bang!" Another firework exploded!

  Xiaomi's eyes almost welled up with tears, waaah, Yin Tangyao this violent madman.

  "Does it hurt?!"

  He raised his hand dangerously, ready to touch her forehead again in an intimate manner.

  "...do you want me to say it hurts...or doesn't hurt..." She looked at him cautiously through her fingers.

  "Honestly!"

  "That... it seems to hurt a little..."

  His fingers clenched into a fist, as if he would strike without mercy in the next second.

  "But it doesn't hurt at all! Eh, really doesn't hurt!" Xiao Mi hastily said repeatedly, "Not painful! Not painful! How strange!"

  "Uh-huh."

  It wasn't until then that he felt satisfied, his large hand rubbing her forehead, using a lot of force, it hurt so much that Xiaomi's eyes welled up with tears, but she didn't dare to let out even the slightest whimper. Yin Tangyao is such an idiot!

  Ba Chi Yin suddenly placed both hands on her head.

  Under the streetlight.

  His face leaned in close to hers.

  Xiaomi opened her eyes wide.

  His lips were right in front of her eyes, and the diamond's sparkle made her dizzy.

  She closed her eyes tightly and didn't dare to breathe.

  Then——

  A gentle breath of air, slightly warm, slightly cool, on her forehead so close, like a feather so light, so very light.

  She opened her eyes in astonishment.

  His eyes had a desperate passion and an awkward shyness. Seeing her dazed gaze, he gruffly shouted: "What are you looking at! Close your eyes!"

  She didn't dare look again from then on.

  Yin Tang Yao smiled slyly, he just liked to bully her and tease her, making the clever cat-like her occasionally become as adorable as a little mouse. He couldn't remember which book said that if a girl likes someone, even if you bully her, she won't feel pain. It must be a lie, because her forehead was already red all over.

  "Hello..."

  Xiaomi stole a glance at him from between her eyelashes. Was he secretly laughing, his mouth twitching?

  "What's wrong with you!" He scowled.

  "I want to go back..."

  "Why."

  "It's a bit cool." The sweat on her body had completely dried up, and the night breeze brought her waves of coolness. Having just recovered from an illness, she didn't want to get sick again.

  "But I don't want to go!"

  "Ah......" Xiao Mi's face fell in despair.

  In the evening, by the side of the playground, an open-air cinema floated with classmates' laughter and music. Yin Tao turned his head to look over and suddenly said:

  "Go watch a movie."

  The night falls.

  Stars all over the sky.

  The movie screen is a white wall, the projector's light shines on it, and the male and female protagonists start to romantically love, separate, and reunite...

  Classmates sat on the tiered steps, in twos and threes, sometimes wiping away tears, sometimes applauding, and sometimes staring blankly, unable to speak.

  Yin Tangyao and Xiao Mi sat on the last and highest step, the night wind blowing past them. His hair was dry, his body had a refreshing scent after bathing. He stretched out his arms to hold Xiao Mi tightly, who was shivering with fear, and said stiffly: "Are you not cold anymore?"

  His strength was so great that she was pulled into his arms in an instant, almost falling over.

  But ——

  It was precisely because of this that she heard his heartbeat.

  Peng---

  His heart beats in her ear.

  Peng---

  His heart beats with her.

  Peng---

  She could even feel the temperature of that heartbeat and the flow of blood in her heart.

  Time slipped away in the darkness, and everything seemed to remain unchanged. She was still her, he was still him, as long as he existed, she would certainly exist, and as long as she existed, he would certainly be there too.

  The next day...

  I know you've never left...

  Classmates in the second class of International Trade gradually got used to Yin Tao's absence, although he was late every time and always kicked open the classroom door with his foot.

  Classmates in the second class of International Trade have gradually gotten used to Xiao Mi helping Yin Tao Yue with his notes every day, quietly answering for him when the teacher asks questions, rushing out to break up fights and apologize on his behalf when Yin Tao Yue gets into fights with other classmates, and smiling carelessly on her face when Yin Tao Yue bullies her.

  So when the human resources class, Yin Tao handed in his thesis and answered Professor Fu's questions about the paper very neatly, his classmates just widened their eyes and didn't make a big fuss.

  There will be an angel who loves you instead of me Chapter 5 (8)

  Are Yoon Si-yoon and Miyeon in a relationship?

  There was once a law school student, Yin Tao's "ex-girlfriend" who came to their classroom, looked at Xiao Mi with disdain for five minutes, and then asked in a tone that sounded like it was coming from her nostrils.

  And her next move was to have her nose, which had just been done at the beauty parlor, smashed by a flying textbook thrown by Yin Tangyao.

  So, no one dared to ask this question again.

  One afternoon---

  "This is Zheng Haoyang, a new student who transferred from Qingyuan. Everyone welcome." The class teacher smiled and introduced the new transfer student standing on the podium. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with jet-black hair and eyes that shone like an eagle's sharp gaze.
