Will there be an angel who loves me instead? Chapter 6

  There will be an angel loving you instead Chapter 6 (1)

  Xiaomi stared blankly at Zheng Hao Yang, the classroom was filled with the low whispers of her classmates, outside the window birds flapped their wings and flew past the leaves, the world suddenly seemed so noisy, her mind was in a mess.

  On the stage, Zheng Hao Yang's eyes also found her.

  His eyes were pitch black.

  Dark eyes like a black night pierced through row after row of seats and fixed on her at the back of the classroom.

  He gazed at her.

  She also stared at him, her face slightly pale, her teeth biting her lower lip, her fingers gripping the pen tightly, and in a daze, "swish" - the pen tip drew a deep long line on the notebook.

  And by her side.

  Yin Tangyao was dozing off on his desk, breathing evenly, with a relaxed smile at the corner of his lips. He didn't hear anything and didn't see anything, unaware that another new transfer student had appeared in class.

  "Zheng Haoyang, find a seat and sit down, class is about to start." The class teacher said and left the classroom.

  Classmates in the second class of International Trade whispered to each other, strange things happen every year, but this year is especially numerous. It's already surprising that Xiaomi transferred here in the middle of the semester, and I didn't expect there would be even more surprises! There's only one month left until the end of the semester, when did Shengyu's charm become so great? Hmm, maybe the reputation of Qingyuan being famous all over the world isn't as dazzling as the legend says.

  Zheng Haoyang walked down from the podium, walking along the aisle between the seats. His face was expressionless, but his straight back and dark eyes gave off a strong sense of arrogance.

  The girls were a little excited, each pretending to tidy up the things on their desk, hoping he would sit in the seat next to them.

  His eyes didn't see these at all.

  Go straight to the back of the classroom.

  Xiaomi could feel his footsteps approaching, one step at a time, heavy and urgent to the point where she couldn't breathe. She took a deep breath, gripping her pen tightly, but perhaps too tightly, as it slipped from her hand, bounced once on the desk, and then fell to the ground with a "thud".

  The pen rolled on the ground.

  A pair of black leather shoes, a pen stopped in front of them.

  Zheng Haoyang picked up the pen.

  For some reason, when he bent down to pick up the small pen with his height of 1.9 meters, many girls in Guo Mao Class 2 suddenly felt a sense of wonder.

  He handed her the pen.

  "Thank you." Xiaomi said in a low voice, without looking up at him.

  She reached out to take the pen from his fingers, but he grasped it tightly, as if he would never let go. She hesitated, her fingers stiff on the pen. After about two or three seconds, he pulled up her hand, put the pen in her palm, and then closed her fingers together.

  His hands were very cold.

  Xiaomi bit her lip tightly and finally looked up at him. His eyes were gloomy and dark, the eagle-like radiance of the past seemed to have been hurt.

  He silently turned and left.

  He sat down in the empty seat next to him, with only a passageway separating him from Xiaomi. In silence, he began to tidy up his books and stationery.

  "Hey! Who is he?!"

  Yin Tang yelled, saw a ghost, opened his eyes and saw that the little boy was holding Xiao Mi's hand at the first moment! He actually dared to hold her hand! And she still looked dazed and distracted!

  Xiaomi was startled: "Are you awake?"

  "Who is he?!" Yin Tangyao glared at her, his anger bursting forth.

  "Oh... him..." She hesitated for a moment, forcing out a smile. "He's the new transfer student."

  "Where did you transfer from?"

  "...clear and distant."

  It's Qingyuan again. Yin Tangyao looked at her with a twisted brow, carefully examining her: "Do you know him?"

  Xiaomi lowered her head to look at her textbook and murmured vaguely: "Hehe, the teacher introduced it just now."

  "Rice love!"

  Yin Tangyao's loud shout made all his classmates turn around, and even the international finance professor who had just pushed open the door was startled.

  Zheng Haoyang turned his head towards Yin Tangyao, his eyes deep and dim.

  Yin Tang Yao also stared at him.

  The classmates of Guo Mao's second class seemed to hear the "crackling" sparks bursting out of their gaze in the eerie silence.

  "Time for class! Good teacher!"

  Cheng Yu stood up and bowed to the professor, while her classmates followed her lead. Zheng Hao Yang turned his head back around, focusing on the lesson.

  Xiaomi gently tugged on Yintang's sleeve, carefully watching the suppressed anger on his face, and said in a low voice: "Class is starting."

  "What's the big deal about attending class?!" he growled, "Tell me, who is he?!" She looked at him with a gaze that was impossible to be just acquaintances. Especially the way that kid looked at Xiaomi, it was simply unbearable!

  "I want to take notes..." She lowered her voice even further.

  "What the heck is this note!"

  "Take good notes and you'll have a better grasp of the material when it's time to review for exams." She smiled sweetly at him, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

  "Geniuses are rare and excellent." He muttered, facing her smile, the anger in his heart inexplicably dissipated.

  "You shouldn't sleep either, this finance professor is lecturing quite well."

  "Mind your own business! Who cares about you?" Yoon Tae-oh glared at her and lay back down on his desk. Hmm, the afternoon sun was too dazzling, not suitable for listening to class, only suitable for sleeping.

  "Sleeping too much will turn you into a pig..." she muttered under her breath.

  Bang!

  A water balloon exploded on her forehead!

  Xiaomi whispered softly, humming, he isn't asleep, is he? How can I still hear him.

  Yin Tao yao cracked open a big smile in his sleep, just like a child. Xiao Mi gazed at him quietly, lost in thought, as the finance professor's words floated lightly past her ears.

  She just wanted to be by his side like this forever.

  Quietly guarding him by his side.

  The afternoon class ended in the blink of an eye.

  Yin Tangyao slept for the whole afternoon, and when he woke up with a yawn from his desk, every bone in his body was sore. As he stretched his muscles, he lazily said, "I'll take you somewhere later."

  There will be an angel loving you instead Chapter 6 (2)

  Xiaomi picked up the textbook: "Where is it?"

  "Go and you'll know! Why ask so many questions!" He said impatiently, then looked at her. She wore a white dress, short fluffy hair, in the sunlight, she seemed transparent. "You..."

  "What?"

  "Cough, today is very beautiful." His voice was very muffled, and Xiaomi almost couldn't hear it.

  "Oh, haha."

  "Why are you always wearing white?" Except for that first "date" when he gave her a green skirt, it seemed like she was forever dressed in white.

  "White is the color of angels." She smiled.

  "Angel?" Why does she always have to bring up this ghost thing?

  "Uh-huh. Angels are the most sacred and have no time for trivial things, so they like white, if you wear white clothes, angels will find it easier to spot you."

  "What are you looking for?" Yin Tangyao was baffled, and the more he spoke, the less he understood.

  Rice

  A low voice like black night intervened.

  Xiaomi's hand trembled, and the textbook fell to the ground with a "thud". She hastily bent down to pick it up, oh dear, what's wrong with me, why am I so clumsy.

  Cartoon-like stillness——

  Two hands suddenly appeared in front of hers at the same time.

  She was stunned.

  One hand snatched up the book from in front and slapped it into her arms, then a familiar explosion found its way to her forehead.

  "You're so stupid! I'll see my friend soon, don't embarrass me like this, did you hear?!" Yin Tao said irritably. Ever since that new transfer student entered the classroom, she had been acting abnormal, there must be something fishy going on here.

  "Oh."

  Xiaomi rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly.

  "Apologize to her."

  Zheng Haoyang stood in front of Yin Tangyao, his 1.9-meter height exerting a kind of oppressive force, he stared at Yin Tangyao, his eyes cold and condensed.

  "What are you!" Yun Tangyao raised an eyebrow.

  "She's not someone you can bully." Zheng Hao Yang looked at the faint red mark on Xiao Mi's forehead, and his heart ached. "Apologize to her!"

  "I'm fine! Not hurt at all!" Xiao Mi hastily said repeatedly.

  "What's she got to do with you! My...!" Yin Tangyao glared at Xiaomi, "My girlfriend, I like to bully her and scold her, what business is it of yours?!"

  "Girlfriend?......"

  Painful eyes slowly looked at Xiaomi.

  "Are you his girlfriend?"

  Xiaomi bit her lip, and under Zheng Hao's deeply painful gaze, she suddenly couldn't breathe.

  Some classmates in the class had not left, they curiously sized up these three people behind the classroom. Yin Tangyao with a face full of anger, Zheng Haoyang who was suppressing his pain, and between them stood Xiao Mi with a pale complexion.

  The afternoon sunlight shines gently in the classroom.

  The leaves by the window are transparent and fragrant.

  Yin Tangyao slowly turned his head, staring at Xiaomi who had been silent for a long time: "Hey! Tell him, are you my girlfriend or not!"

  It's the first time I've seen such a small rice.

  Her face was pale as if her soul had left, she stood there in the sunlight, yet he seemed unable to reach out and touch her.

  "Didn't you hear?! Hurry up and tell him!" Yin Tangyao's heart skipped a beat with inexplicable anxiety, he started shaking Xiao Mi's shoulders vigorously.

  "Let her go!"

  Zheng Haoyang grabbed his hand.

  Bang!

  Yin Tangyao's fist sent Zheng Haoyang's face sideways!

  "Hao Yang!" Xiao Mi exclaimed, rushing over to support Zheng Hao Yang who was stumbling a bit from the beating. At this time, she had already come to her senses, took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

  Nosebleed slowly flowed out.

  Xiaomi quickly pulled out a tissue, stood on tiptoes, and helped Zheng Hao Yang apply it. He pressed the tissue down, also pressing down her fingers. She was taken aback, hastily withdrew her hand, and looked at Yin Tangyao with some unease.

  Yin Tangyao suddenly became strangely calm.

  He coldly sized up Xiaomi and Zheng Haoyang standing together: "You and he were acquainted before." This sentence was not a question, but a statement.

  "We've been together since we were young." Zheng Haoyang said in a low voice.

  "Shut up! I'm asking her!" Yin Tangyao's gaze was as cold as a knife, staring straight at Xiaomi, "Speak!"

  It is.

  Does he like you?

  Xiaomi was silent. She didn't know how to answer this question.

  "Whether I like her or not is none of your business." Zheng Hao Yang grasped her shoulder, saying in a low voice, "Is it him? Is he the one who..."

  "Zheng Haoyang!" Xiaomi interrupted him in terror.

  Zheng Haoyang smiled bitterly: "There are actually still such things in this world..."

  "Mi Ai," Yin Tang Yao said word by word, "Tell me, what is the relationship between you and him?" The cold congealed the blood in his body, he felt like the biggest fool in the world.

  "I..." Xiaomi knew he had misunderstood, but Zheng Hao Yang's sudden appearance made her heart a mess. What was the relationship between them? Was he Yong's best friend? Did he always like her?...

  "He and I were classmates before."

  She finally thought of this sentence and lowered her head.

  "Is that all you are?" Yoon Tae-oh gazed at her coldly, the image of her standing next to that kid making him want to beat him up some more.

  "Mm." She nodded reluctantly, her ten fingers stiffly clenched together.

  Yin Tang stared at her.

  She is cheating on him.

  Is this her first time cheating on him, or has she always been cheating on him?!

  "Follow me."

  Zheng Haoyang could no longer listen, he grabbed her arm and walked towards the classroom door. Xiao Mi struggled, no way, she couldn't leave, Yin Tangyao was already angry, his unexploded coldness was even more terrifying than hitting someone.

  "Let me go! Haoyang! I can't leave, I have something..." She struggled to break free from his grasp.

  "What's wrong?!" Zheng Hao Yang's voice was also on the eve of the storm.

  There will be an angel loving you instead of me Chapter 6 (3)

  "I..."

  Xiaomi bit her lip and looked towards Yin Tao-yao at the back of the classroom.

  Yin Tang Yao stood alone there.

  The sun cast its shadow obliquely on the ground.

  The diamond on her nose sparkled with cold light.

  He gazed at her coldly.

  "If you go with him, don't talk to me again."

  His voice was colder than the glint of a diamond.

  "I have something to say to you too!" Zheng Hao Yang suppressed his anger, "If you don't want to follow me, then let's talk about it in the classroom!" Why was she being so careful and using her strength to maintain this, just for a kid he had known for less than a month?

  "You...!" Xiao Mi turned around in shock. In Zheng Hao Yang's eyes, she saw a reckless and painful desperation. He... he was capable of doing anything...

  Zheng Haoyang dragged her out of the classroom with a gloomy face, and she didn't even have time to explain to Yin Tangyao.

  Watching her and the little guy leave, Yin Tangyao's face began to pale, his fingers slightly trembling.

  "Bang!"

  The earth shook with a deafening roar!

  Yin Tang Yao kicked over the desk in front of him!

  There were still a few classmates left in the classroom, and they were so scared that their faces turned pale.

  "What's going on?! Get out of here, all of you!!"

  The ice cream shop at dusk, the sunset's glow seeped in through the glass window. There were not many people in the store, only a few customers, and the atmosphere was very quiet. A boy and a girl sitting by the window had been silent for a long time. The ice water in front of the boy had never moved, and the originally warm milk tea in front of the girl had already cooled down.

  "Come back with me."

  Zheng Haoyang finally spoke up, his voice cold and melancholic. He couldn't bear to watch her do something so absurd for such a ridiculous reason.

  "No."

  He raised his head, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light:

  "He is not Xiao!"

  Xiaomi clenched the straw in her hand: "Hao Yang, you go back. Your studies are so excellent, and it shouldn't be a problem to transfer back to Qingyuan either."

  "Unless you come with me!" There was no room for negotiation in his tone.

  Xiaomi stared blankly at him.

  He is still the same as before, once he has made up his mind about something, it's as if there is no room for retreat or turning back.

  "No," she told him.

  "Millet!"

  Ever since she met him, she had said countless "no"s to him. That mediocre guy was someone he couldn't defeat and had nothing to say about it. But now that he's dead, why is she still saying "no" to him?!

  Xiaomi fell silent for a while.

  "Go back, and pretend you never knew me."

  After finishing speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave.

  Zheng Hao Yang was furious, he grabbed her hand and pulled her back into the seat with great force! "How many times do I need to tell you before you remember?! Xiao is dead! He's already gone! That person isn't Xiao at all!! Did you hear me?!"

  "Whoa——!"

  Milk tea splashed onto Zheng Haoyang's head!

  Tiny beads of sweat trickled down, small pearls tumbling helplessly down his cheeks...

  Xiaomi gasped for air, but the trembling inside her made it impossible to get any: "I've also told you, if I hear you say that word again, you're no longer my friend."

  …………

  ……

  I don't like Zheng Haoyang!

  She pouted, complaining unhappily. How annoying, why did she and Ryo have to be neighbors with Zheng Haoyang, who had been sharp as a hawk, staring at her since childhood.

  He sat in front of the computer searching for information and just smiled slightly when he heard her words.

  "Let's just ignore him from now on and not talk to him, okay?" She said with a huff, scooping up a spoonful of jelly and eating it with a pout.

  He still smiled, she would complain to him like this two or three times a month.

  "Hey! Can you hear me talking to you?! I'm furious!" She rushed to his ear and yelled loudly, trying to deafen him with her high-pitched voice.

  He smiled and finally turned back from the computer screen.

  "What's wrong?"

  She blushed a bit: "That... he... he actually... kissed my fingertips!" Infuriating! That damned Zheng Hao Yang had to make her watch him play basketball, because after all, he was also a friend of Yi's. She reluctantly sat down to watch, still holding his clothes in her hand. But when the game ended and she handed over his clothes, he stared at her with those annoying eyes. When she tossed the clothes into his arms, he actually... grabbed her hand and kissed it!

  I'm so sick!

  However, she immediately gave Zheng Haoyang a slap in the face!

  He furrowed his brow, then pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped her fingers with it: "Better now?"

  "It's still disgusting!"

  He kissed her fingertips, the kiss seemed to have a scent of pine trees, and her heart suddenly became as soft and sweet as jelly. She snuggled into his arms, finding a comfortable position.

  "Anyway, I hate him."

  He likes you.

  "...I know." She pulled a long face. From small to big, Zheng Hao Yang had confessed to her formally and informally more than ten times. "So I hate him!"

  "Hao Yang is our friend."

  "It's not like that!"

  "Have you forgotten? That year, you were hospitalized with a sudden illness and had to pay a lot of hospital fees that night. I took out all the money I had on me but it still wasn't enough. You cried in my arms from the pain... how I begged the doctor in charge, but he insisted that I pay the full amount first..."

  "I hate that hospital!" she muttered a curse. She remembered, her Yī was pale and begging the doctor, her proud Yī, who would rather die than ask others for help. But at that time, her anxious and confused Yī couldn't hear her protests and anger.

  "Fortunately, there is Hao Yang..."

  "He's just got money at home." she muttered.

  There will be an angel loving you instead of me Chapter 6 (4)

  "Rice!"

  "Alright, alright," she surrendered, "friends, good friends, okay."

  He smiled and shook his head: "Hao Yang has always been good to you."

  She rolled her eyes and suddenly chuckled: "Yeah, thinking carefully, Haoyang is still quite good to me... how about..."

  "Huh?"

  "I'll try dating him for a while." Her eyes sparkled. "Is that okay?"

  He gazed at her.

  She smiled brightly.

  He smiled: "Okay."

  Her smile slowly fell. She glared at him, her chest heaving with anger, as if her gaze could be a flying knife that would slash his damned smile to pieces.

  "How dare you say that again!"

  She wants to bite him to death! Wooooo... He doesn't like her at all! Not jealous, not eating vinegar! It's not written this way! He should be holding her tightly and shouting, No, no, you belong to me!

  "Hmph!" She laughed so hard she choked at the imagined scene.

  He patted her back, helping her catch her breath. Just now she was still furious, but this moment she burst out laughing, doubling over with laughter. He shook his head and smiled lightly, the smile on his lips like sunlight filtering through the leaves of trees.

  "You should be vinegar!" She pulled a long face and stared at him.

  "Why?"

  "Because I'm going out with another boy now!"

  He smiled and coughed lightly.

  "What are you laughing at! Don't laugh, be serious!" She continued to glare at him. "If you make me unhappy, I'll...I'll..." She grabbed the half-eaten large cup of Xi Zhi Lang and threatened him fiercely, "I won't even let you have a single jelly!"

  He rubbed his nose and smiled wryly: "Oh." He also liked to eat jelly, although it was a bit strange for boys to like eating jelly.

  "Hurry up and say it!"

  "Because you don't know, so I won't be jealous."

  "No way, I won't!"

  He smiled faintly, his eyelashes casting a faint shadow on his cheek: "Because I like you."

  “……”

  "Because you also like me."

  ...Her grasp on Jellal's hand suddenly became soft and gentle.

  "In this world, the person who likes you the most is me, and the person I like the most is you." He hugged her, gently placing his face on top of her head, softly sighing, "I know you like me, just as you know I like you."

  The wind outside blows in.

  He gently and softly hugged her.

  At that moment, I can only happily close my eyes and let a happy smile climb up to the corner of my mouth.

  But ——

  "What if I died?" She suddenly opened her eyes wide, "If I died, would you still like me?"

  He let out a soft sigh.

  She grasped him tightly, her face scrunched up:

  "If I die, will you like someone else? I saw a poem before that said after his wife died, he had to live happier than when she was alive, every day more happy than the last! It's infuriating! And also, on TV there are often stories about how after a girlfriend or lover dies, the guy finds another one, and those fake couples say things like 'if she knew, she would be very happy you found happiness again, and bless us...' Bullshit! Bullshit!"

  She stared at him:

  "Pei Yan, I'm telling you - I! Won't! Be! Happy!"

  "Uh-huh, okay." He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

  "Even if I die, you can't like another girl, did you hear me?!" She said gritting her teeth. "You just said that you liked me the most, it's not enough!"

  “……”

  "You must 'only' like me! You can't like any other woman!"

  "Where is my mom?"

  "Nonsense!" She punched him in the chest, "Don't interrupt! Even if I'm dead, you can't like other girls. Did you hear me? Otherwise, I'll crawl out from under the ground and become a female ghost to scare you at midnight! And I absolutely won't bless you! Hmph!"

  "Ah, you." He chuckled and stroked her short hair, feeling the softness, as she bared her teeth and claws like a cute little hedgehog.

  "Promise me!"

  "Good." He gazed at her, "I will always like only you."

  She smiled contentedly: "Me too."

  "Don't, if I die first, remember to find a good guy to love you." His fingers lightly slid over the smile lines on her lips. "Don't be sad, don't cry, and don't just like me alone, be as happy as you are now, because my Xiao Mi is most lovely when she smiles. Remember, I will bless you... as long as you occasionally remember me..."

  "Hmph! Why don't you just say that you've completely forgotten about me? That way, you wouldn't appear so great!" She pouted, "Always like this, it makes me feel like I'm the bad person, and you're the perfect, flawless good person, how annoying!"

  He smiled: "I don't want you to completely forget me. If you really completely forget me, it will be very sad. Just put me in a corner of your heart, the smallest corner, and you will be very happy."

  "No way!" She said with a pleased expression and continued eating her jelly.

  “……？”

  "You won't die, you'll definitely die after me," she hesitated to look at the cup of not many jelly, thinking about whether to share some with him to eat, "because you're not willing to leave me behind, who will take care of me, you won't be at ease... So, I'll give you some jelly to eat, but just a little bit..."

  The wind outside blows up the curtains.

  She carefully fed him jelly at his mouth:

  "Just a little..."

  ……

  …………

  Milk tea flowed slowly down Zheng Hao's face, he didn't use a tissue to wipe it away, his eyes gazing at Xiao Mi with a low and gloomy expression.

  "He is indeed dead."

  A chill ran through her body. She took a deep breath, opened her bag and found the wallet inside, taking out enough money for a cup of milk tea and placing it on the table.

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

  She didn't want to talk to him again.

  "That kid isn't stupid! If he knew you were getting close to him just for his heart, if he knew your smile and concern were all for someone else, what would happen?!" Zheng Hao Yang said in a pained tone.

  "Are you threatening me?"

  Xiaomi's voice was very soft, as soft as a whisper.

  For some reason, her soft voice suddenly made him lose his mind. He remembered when he was a child, she always leaned on the side of the bed and laughed, but whenever she saw him, she would stare at him with wide eyes.

  She stood up and said to him:

  "I know he's not Akira, but Akira is with him."

  After she finished speaking, she left Bingdian store.

  The sunset poured in thickly through the glass window, Zheng Haoyang sat there, unable to move. She didn't even turn her head to look at him.

  She had never seen him before.

  Even though he had been gone for a long time, he stayed by her side every day, wanting to make her happy again, wanting to bring back the smile on her face. But only when she knew that Yī's heart had been transplanted into that kid called "Yǐn Tángyào" did he see the sparkle in her eyes again. She went to Shèng Yuè, to that kid's side, and so he transferred from Qīngyuǎn to Shèng Yuè as well. However, she was even stingy with a welcoming smile for him.

  She smiled at "him".

  Even if she knew it wasn't him, would she rather smile at an illusion than shift her gaze slightly to herself?

  Zheng Haoyang closed his eyes.

  Milk tea slid coolly down his neck.

  In the afternoon, some light rain floated outside the window. In the classroom, the international settlement teacher was teaching, and the classmates of Guo Mao Erban were nervously taking notes.

  This international settlement teacher is one of the famous "Four Great Captors", and every semester she catches many people to retake, and much of what she teaches is not in the textbook, so notes must be taken very seriously. Moreover, basically she takes roll call every class, and seniors say that if you are called three times or less, then there's no hope of passing the exam.

  "The teacher of International Settlements bowed his head, opened the roll book, and classmates held their breath in secret prayer. 'Yin Tangyao'."

  The international settlement teacher's eyes searched in the classroom.

  "Is it you, Yintang Yao?"

  Xiaomi looked at Yin Tao's position, she bit her lip and frowned. Zheng Hao Yang also raised his head, he stared at Xiaomi, his eyes pitch black.

  The last row of seats by the window in the classroom is empty.

  A sparrow flew in and chirped at that seat.

  "Absent again," the teacher said expressionlessly, picking up his pen and making a mark on the attendance sheet. "Yin Tangyao has been absent twice."

  "He's fallen ill!"

  Xiaomi hastily stood up from his seat and nervously "explained" to the teacher.

  "What's wrong? What illness?"

  "A cold." This is the first word that pops into Xiao Mi's mind.

  "Can a cold be an excuse for absence?" The international settlement teacher looked displeased.

  "Then I had a fever!"

  "How many degrees?"

  "... thirty-nine degrees." Xiao Mi's face turned red, as if it was she who had a fever, not Yin Tangyao.

  The international settlement teacher looked at her suspiciously for a moment, turned his head to look at Cheng Yuan in the front row: "Class leader, did Yin Tangyao ask you for sick leave?"

  Cheng Wan slowly raised her head, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Xiao Mi gripping her fingers nervously to the side. After a moment's hesitation, she said in a low voice:

  "Uh-huh."

  The international settlement teacher nodded and made a change on the roll call sheet.

  Xiaomi let out a breath, her forehead cool and beaded with cold sweat. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at the back of the classroom where Yin Tangyao usually sat.

  The sparrow flapped its wings and flew away.

  A thin layer of dust had settled on the desk surface.

  He has been absent from class for three days already.

  White Garden Villa.

  The wind blew gently through the window screens, carrying the coolness of the fine rain. The white window screens fluttered lightly and danced silently in the quiet living room. A burst of music from a mobile phone floated down from upstairs, playing stubbornly, then suddenly stopped with a loud "crash" sound.

  Pei You sat on the sofa in the living room, he looked up at the ceiling and rubbed his nose with a bitter smile. Three days ago, Yao said he would introduce a girl to him, but he waited for two hours in the coffee shop and still didn't see her, when he got back, he heard from Mrs. Yin that Yao locked himself in his room and wouldn't come out, and even skipped dinner. That night, Yao started feeling unwell, Dean Ren rushed over, after talking to Dean Ren, Mrs. Yin looked very worried, and for the next two days, she didn't go to the company.

  "Excellent."

  Yin Zhao Man stood outside the window, her figure shrouded in the flying white gauze curtains, like smoke and mist, her skin seemed crystal clear and transparent, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes were like the ripples on autumn water. Her voice was soft and gentle, also as light as fog.

  "Yes, Aunt Yoon." Baeu admired Yo's mother. She lost her husband at the age of 25 and independently managed a large conglomerate company despite being a weak woman. Countless people pointed fingers behind her back, but she was strong as if flawless.

  "What happened to Yao recently?"

  “……”

  "You are his best friend, from young to old, he will tell you all his heart affairs." Yin Zhao Man gazed at him.

  "Hmm..." Bae-yoo smiled wryly. He didn't have anything certain he could tell Yoon Ah-ji.

  "What kind of girl is she?"

  Pei You looked up in surprise.

  "Yao has fallen in love, right?" Yin Zhao Man sighed. Only falling in love could make Yao, who had always been careless about his studies, suddenly become very serious and go to school every day, zone out during dinner, burst out laughing while sitting on the couch, and check himself out in the mirror before leaving the house in the morning. "Have you seen that girl, You?"

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

  "No."

  "Has he ever said anything about it?"

  Pei You hesitated for a moment: "Yes."

  "How is it?"

  "Seems like a pretty cute girl." Pei You rubbed his nose, smiling, "Hearing Yao talk about some of the things she's done, that girl really does seem quite lovely."

  "Cute?......"

  Yin Zhaoman gazed out at the hazy rain mist outside the window.

  Yao was that silly kid, when he was little, he loved a cute little cat, every day he had to feed it and wait for it to fall asleep before he would go to sleep himself. Later, the cat ran off somewhere, Little Yao cried for a long, long time, and his heart disease first acted up then, he stayed in the hospital for a whole month.

  Is this girl cute too?

  "Auntie Yin, I'll go take a look at Yao."

  Pei You stood up worriedly. This was the first time Yao had fallen ill after his surgery, and he had thought that after the heart transplant, Yao wouldn't fall ill again.

  "Good." Yin Zhao Man said softly, "Ask him what he wants to eat, I'll make it myself."

  Pei You walked up to the second floor, he walked to Yao's room door, turned the doorknob, the door was locked, he knocked on the door:

  "Today is mine."

  "Get out!" A muffled roar came from inside the door.

  Pei You knocked on the door again and said with a gentle smile: "What's wrong? Unhappy things must be shared with friends, right?"

  "Get out! Did you hear me?!"

  "Someone's here to see you." Pei You raised an eyebrow. "Or perhaps you don't want to tell me, but want to tell her?"

  The room was suddenly filled with an eerie silence.

  "Hey, Yeo, she said she's your classmate and insisted on coming in to see you." Baeu leaned against the wall, rubbing his nose with a smile, "She's currently talking to Mrs. Yoon in the living room downstairs."

  Persistent silence.

  Then——

  "Who is it?" Yoon Tae-oh's voice sounded strange through the door.

  "It seems like something 'Xiaomi'."

  The door was flung open from inside!

  Yin Tang Yao's hair was disheveled, his face was pale and dark, he glared at Pei You and said in a loud voice: "Let her go! Tell her that I never want to see her again!"

  "You tell her yourself," Pei You sighed, "I couldn't bear to say such hurtful words."

  Yin Tang glared at him and walked to the French lace railing, looking down into the living room. The living room was empty, with only a white gauze floating in the air and his mother standing by the window, where was the visiting girl?

  "You deceived me!"

  He turned back with an uncontrollable rage and growled in a low voice, because of You's deception, and also because of the unbearable sense of loss that suddenly surged up from the bottom of his heart.

  Bae-yoo walked into the bedroom, sat on the wide bed, and smiled at Yoon Tae-oh, who was standing by the door with a furious expression: "Didn't you say you didn't want to see her? Yet, you didn't see her, but why do you have an expression that wants to hit me?"

  Yin Tang walked in with a gloomy face and threw himself onto the sofa, lying on his back, closing his eyes, and not saying a word.

  "Lost love?" Pei You smiled and rubbed his nose. Only a lost love could make Yao so sulky.

  "If you want to fight, just say so!" The voice ground out from between Yoon Tae-oh's teeth.

  "It's really a lost love," Pei You shook his head and chuckled, "For the sake of a girl, they even want to fight their friends."

  "YOU!" Yun Tangyao clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead throbbing violently. "I didn't get dumped! Did you hear me?!"

  "Alright, alright, no heartbreak, just being sad for a girl." Pei You saw the phone that had been thrown out of the battery on the marble floor and picked it up, "So sad that you don't even want to hear her voice?"

  "Pei, you're going too far!" Yun's eyes were blazing with anger. "Enough is enough!"

  Pei You put Yao's phone battery back, turned it on, and then he interestingly found that the screen displayed more than 20 new text messages and a dozen unconnected calls. After checking, the owners of these text messages and calls were all called the same name - "Xiaomi".

  He stared at Yintang Yao:

  "Why didn't he answer her call? Maybe it's a misunderstanding, not necessarily."

  "No."

  "Isn't it a misunderstanding?"

  "Uh-huh."

  Outside the window, the coolness of the rain and fog seeped in. On the sofa, Yin Tao's face was expressionless, his diamond nose ring gleaming faintly, as if he was shrouded in shadows. In his heart, a wave of sourness surged like being bitten, his fingers clenched tightly, his lips pursed as cold as the marble on the ground.

  ……

  He stood there alone.

  The sun cast its shadow obliquely on the ground.

  He gazed at her coldly.

  "If you go with him, don't talk to me again."

  His voice was colder than the glint of a diamond.

  But ——

  She still left with that kid...

  ……

  No misunderstanding, no need for explanation. In front of him, she just left with another boy like that, without even hesitating, and didn't look back.

  Yin Tangyao's face gradually turned pale.

  He took a deep breath, fine, since she chose to go with that kid, then don't ever talk to me again, why bother calling again!

  Just then, the phone's music suddenly rang out!

  Pei You lowered his head and couldn't help but laugh when he saw that the incoming call was from "Xiaomi" again.

  "Turn it off!"

  Yoon Dang Yeo's hand reached out to grab the phone back and smash it!

  In the dormitory, Xiao Mi was dazedly listening to the ringing of her mobile phone.

  Is he still angry?

  He didn't return her texts and didn't answer her calls, was he really angry? That day when she was dragged out of the classroom by Zheng Hao Yang, she saw Yin Tang Yao's furious and disappointed expression.

  The ringing sound from the phone kept coming.

  This was her third or fourth call in three days. She knew Yin Tao would not pick up, but she just wanted to make the call, as long as she could hear the ringing tone it was good, even if he hung up, it was like being by his side.

  There will be an angel loving you instead Chapter 6 (7)

  "Hello."

  A pleasant male voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.

  "...Xiaomi was used to being cut off on the phone, suddenly connected, and for a moment couldn't think of what to say, stunned there."

  "Hello, is this Xiao Mi?" The voice was gentle and patient, "I'm a friend of Yao's."

  Like a bolt of lightning exploding! Her mind was in an uproar! That voice... that voice... She strained to hear it clearly, and responded dazedly: "......Uh, hello, I'm Xiaomi."

  "Do you have something to look for?"

  "He...he hasn't come to class for three days, I wonder..." Xiaomi said somewhat absent-mindedly, because, due to the unclear phone connection or something, she felt that the voice on the other end of the line was incredibly familiar. Really familiar... Familiar like her own breathing, familiar to the point where even in dreams she wouldn't forget...

  "Yao is sick, so he didn't go." The voice had a smile in it, like the warm sunlight of early summer filtering through the fragrant leaves and gently shining down. "I'll thank you on Yao's behalf for your concern."

  “……”

  "Hello?"

  “……”

  "Xiaomi, are you still there?" Anxious inquiry.

  She shook her head desperately, no, it's impossible, it must be the phone line that made her hallucinate. She couldn't have heard his voice, this is absolutely, absolutely impossible!

  She took a deep breath and said: "...... I'm in... sorry, may I ask something?"

  "Good."

  "Can you tell me the address of Yin Tangyao's residence? I... " It turned out that he was ill, and she didn't know if it was serious or not. When would he return to school again? He refused to answer her calls and listen to her explanation, so she had no choice but to try this method.

  The smiling voice: "Okay, I'll tell you." He gave her the detailed address, then said, "However—"

  "What?"

  "You won't be ready to come now."

  "I..." Xiaomi bit her lip, she was planning to finish the call and go over right away.

  "It's raining outside, let's wait until it stops before coming over. Otherwise, if you get rained on, you might catch a cold. Let's wait for the rain to stop and then come over, I'll also go talk to Yao and tell him not to be too angry. Okay?"

  "......Thank you."

  "You're welcome." A gentle smile in his voice, "By the way, Yào is a bit awkward and shy, if there's any misunderstanding, please help communicate with him more. He really likes you, he mentioned it to me before, saying that you're a very lovely girl..."

  The words had barely left his lips when a shocking roar burst from the phone.

  "Shut up!!"

  The voice was so loud that Xiao Mi's eardrum buzzed. She didn't need to think about it, she knew the angry person must be Yin Tangyao.

  Faint sounds of punching and dodging came from the other end of the phone, she bit her lip and listened until it seemed like someone had snatched the phone away.

  "Is it you? I'm Xiao Mi!"

  She said in an urgent tone, hoping Yoon Tae-oh wouldn't hang up the phone so quickly.

  A low murmur came over.

  "Are you sick? Are you feeling better now?"

  "Good grief!"

  It's okay to scold people and fight, so the illness should be much better now. Xiaomi let out a sigh of relief, then she said in a low voice: "Sorry, that day I actually didn't want to leave with him."

  "Shut up! I told you I never want to hear your voice again!"

  "But you've already heard it, haven't you?"

  "You!"

  She forced a smile and said, "Are you still angry?"

  “……”

  "What can I do to make you not angry?" She was willing to do anything, as long as he was happy, as long as she could stay by his side.

  "...Want to die or what! I said, I never want to hear your voice again!" After that, a loud crash was heard, as if the phone on the other end had been smashed to pieces, followed by a busy tone.

  Xiaomi stared blankly at her phone.

  The rain mist outside the window floated in with a coolness, after a long time, she let out a soft sigh.

  The rain stopped on the second day.

  Summer is like this, every time it rains, the weather will be hotter again. The sun shines brightly in the clear sky, and the leaves are so bright that they seem dazzling. The dense treetops have the sound of cicadas chirping, and the gardens in front of each villa on both sides of the road are all blooming with various brilliant flowers.

  In the afternoon, the wind blowing in our faces felt warm. The mountain road was repaired to be straight and wide, but there were few pedestrians and vehicles on the road.

  Only Xiao Mi was walking alone.

  The bus stopped at the foot of the mountain, and it was said that people living in this villa area all had private cars. She had been walking on this road for about 40 minutes, and her back was already sweating slightly. It should be soon, the voice on her phone told her, Yin Tao's house was the white villa at the highest point of the mountain waist.

  She could vaguely see that white European-style building. Under the shelter of green trees, it looked exceptionally noble and elegant.

  She wiped the sweat from her forehead and continued to walk up the mountain, shielding her eyes from the glare of the sun with her hand, breathing in the fresh air between the mountains. As she rounded a bend in the road, a white Mercedes came driving towards her. The shadows of the trees and the sunlight cast a pattern on the car's body, its white color elegant yet understated. The speed was not very fast, it drove over calmly.

  A white horse galloped past Xiao Mi's side.

  A thread of music floated out from the car, the music was beautiful and soft, drifting into her ears with the wind.

  She was taken aback—

  That tune...

  It's Enya's song that he has liked since junior high school. Every time he does his homework or before going to sleep, he likes to listen to it.

  A white horse slowly passed by her side.

  She turned her head in astonishment and looked over there——

  Inside the car window, a familiar figure appears, with a gentle smile at the corner of her lips, refreshing hair, a straight and elegant nose bridge, and refined yet humble facial features...

  Scorching sunlight shines like a fierce fireball!

  There will be an angel loving you instead Chapter 6 (8)

  The cicada's shrill cry pierced the air, "Tze-lo! Tze-lo!" The wind rushing towards her was scorching hot, making her dizzy and breathless. Her vision blurred with flashes of black and dark red, as if her head had suddenly exploded, her eardrums throbbing violently!

  A white horse passes by.

  A white horse passed by Xiao Mi's stiff body.

  As she struggled desperately to suppress her dizziness and tried to take another clear look at who was in the car, ——

  At the end of the mountain road, there was only a little white shadow left.

  The wind blew through the treetops, and in the stillness between heaven and earth, only her faint, disordered breathing and the wild racing of blood throughout her body remained.

  She wants to go after him.

  But she was stiff as a wooden puppet with its strings cut.

  She wants to call out that name.

  But her voice was stifled in her throat, making a "gagging" sound as if she could cough up blood at any moment.

  The white horse completely disappeared from view.

  She closed her eyes, her legs went limp, and the last bit of strength was suddenly drained from her body. She fell to the ground, burying her head in her knees.

  On the quiet mountain road.

  Desolate and empty without a soul, the leaves gently swayed, cicadas cried out in exhaustion, the sunlight was dazzling and dizzying.

  Xiaomi's shoulders slightly **.

  In the mountains, her small figure was like a lost child.

  Dusk is falling.

  The mountain road is gradually dyed with a faint red color.

  The number of vehicles on the road increased, and she was still lonely on the side of the road, curled up into a small ball. Every car that passed by her would honk its horn, but she seemed to have heard nothing, as if there were no other sounds in her world.

  I don't know how long it's been.

  The moment when the sun almost completely sets.

  A voice sounded irritably in front of her——

  "What are you doing here!"
