Racing To You [Liu Yuxin x Reader]

73. Push And Pull

Y/N's POV

'Sherry girl, it's lit!'

'Sherry girl, it's lit!'

'Sherry girl, it's lit!'

I let out an exhausted groan. That phrase has been ringing in my mind since then. I'm getting really frustrated with it. So much so that I feel like I'm going to burst soon. And I'm trying to let out steam by walking all around with no where to really go. I think I've already roamed all the booths and I even changed out of my performance clothes just to kill my time.

It wasn't really all that boring. The juniors were able to make a mini vintage shop as their booth. Pretty impressive for them to be able to pull that off. I even managed to find a cap which I'm now wearing with the purpose to stay low with my blue hair.

I stopped walking as I've noticed that I am now in front of the art booth. It looks like they just finished setting it up. That should explain why I haven't seen it earlier. I quietly looked around. The artists are amazing, really. I could only wish that I could draw like that. the best thing I could do is stick figures.

"Finally, here you are!" I looked beside me and saw a panting and huffing Jiaqi.

I spared her a look before turning away and just continuing to look around. I heard her huffing as she breathes heavily. What's up with her anyway? Maybe she just went crazy and randomly decided that she wants to do a marathon.

"Yuxin has been searching for you, you know?" She spoke.

I didn't respond too quickly, pausing in my spot. Why would she even bother to search for me? I scoffed lowly. "And so? Let her search all she wants."

"Ooh~, what's with being so prickly?" She asked as she walked beside me.
"Shut up, Xu Jiaqi. No one's being prickly here." I mumbled and rolled my eyes.

"Then why don't you want to talk with Yuxin?" She pointed out.
"I didn't say anything like that." I answered.

"Hi! Are you interested in buying anything?" A random boy appeared in front of us. I'm assuming he's one of the students in charge around here.
"No, just looking." I answered plainly before stepping away.

That one's giving me sales person vibes. Like the ones in the mall or a store who just appears out of nowhere and they're like 'hi, buy our product!' That's definitely one of the most awkward situations you could be in as an introvert.

"Oh, that's fine!" The boy smiled widely. He's literally radiating sunshine.

"We're offering discounts too. Buy one of our large canvases and you get one of the smaller ones for free! All paintings are made especially by us. With our passion for colors and the art, we believe we can make a change!"

"That's nice!" Jiaqi praised with a wide grin and I just nodded along.
"We'll be going now, then." I spoke up and tugged at Jiaqi's arm.

"Wait, we give some souvenirs for our visitors too! Please wait!" The boy said again before he ran towards the back of the booth.

"Should we just go?" I muttered to Jiaqi, who nudged me.
"Y/N, that'll be mean. Appreciate his enthusiasm, you know?" She reminded.

I didn't say anything and just shrugged. She's right. But it's not my fault that I can't stand things like this. I let out a small huff and adjusted my cap. It didn't take long before the boy appeared before us again and handed us some pins.

"Thank you for stopping by! Please tell a friend and come back." He greeted and bowed before running off again to greet other visitors.

"These are so cute! I call for the cat." Jiaqi squealed and took the kitten pin, giving me the white bunny one.
"It's a kitten, though." I mumbled as I pinned the bunny to the front of my jacket.
