School Days

[12] Event

True to his words, Jiaer really did grace Xue Er's class together with Yibo, the official excuse was to check in on their progress and the unofficial reason was to take a look at Zhengting. The chattering in class suddenly stop when they saw the two student leaders entering their class, stunned by their sudden appearance. Jiaer immediately held his hand up and said jovially, "Ah don't be alarmed, we are just here to check in. Please continue with your work."

He looked around and saw Xue Er staring at him with her dagger eyes. Beside her, Zhengting was smiling at Jiaer oblivious to the two siblings who were currently having an internal battle. Jiaer walked around the class, checking in on the props and purposely made his way towards his target who was busy making the ghost costumes and props. Smirking, Jiaer patted Zhengting on his shoulder  and said, "These props are scary, you made them? "

Zhengting smiled and said, "Yeah, I made it together with Xue Er."

Jiaer, "Yeah, she should know after all scary people are good with scary things."

Xue Er narrowed her eyes at Jiaer who ignored her and continued, "You look muscular," he squeezed Zhengting's biceps as the latter looked at him with a confused expression.

Sighing, Jiaer lamented, "Muscular is good, you have to get ready and withstand incoming punches and -"

Xue Er couldn't take Jiaer's rambling anymore and clamped her hand on his mouth forcefully. She smiled sheepishly at Zhengting apologising, "Sorry, my brother forgot to bring his brain out, please excuse him." With her other hand, she pinched Jiaer's thigh discreetly, causing Jiaer's eyes to open wide in pain.

Xue Er whispered to his ear, "Stop your nonsense already.. Or else." She pinched and twist Jiaer's thigh and he immediately grunted and nodded in agreement. Xue Er released her hold and flash an innocent smile at Zhengting while Jiaer beamed a fake smile and patted his shoulder lightly, "Well, it's nice talking to you, I wish you all the best of luck."

On the other hand, Yibo was inspecting the safety of their props, especially how the partition is holding up. The girls in the class started mumbling amongst themselves seeing the most popular student in their class up close.

" He's so good looking it's unreal."

"I know, he is really so charming and handsome."

"His nose bridge is so sharp, and his long and slender fingers on his hands are so beautiful."

Hearing the compliments showered on her brother, YuXin shuddered as she felt a cold chill running down her spine. "I can't imagine having to hear this everyday," she mumbled to herself while Kun pressed his lips together. He has after all receive such comments frequently as well and was used to blocking them off.

Yibo, "YuXin and Kun, make sure you hold your partitions in place properly, secure them tight."

YuXin, "Yeah okay, got it."

Yibo looked at his sister whose face was dripping in sweat from hauling all the heavy materials. Frowning he walked to her side and said softly, "Can't you just get the guys to do it? And you should wipe off the sweat before you catch a cold."

He took out a piece of tissue from his pocket and was about to wipe off the sweat for her when he realised he's in a class full of people. YuXin grabbed the tissue and smiled,"Thanks and I'm training my muscles, take it as extra training outside of dance club."

As YuXin wiped off the sweat on her face, a small piece of tissue for stuck on her forehead, causing Yibo to let out a laugh.

Yibo, "You've got tissue stuck on your face."
