Dangerous Woman (Part 2)

Ever since the two of them arrived at the school, the classmates in the classroom had been discussing Ryuseki's new scarf.

"Your scarf is really nice!"

"Did Meisha knit it again? It's so pretty! The gloves she made last time were also good!"

"I'm so envious."

"Meisha is really good to you!"

Facing everyone's chatter, Ryuseki could only offer a helpless smile. He really didn't know how to respond. To be honest, this kind of situation was his weakest point; poor social skills were a major flaw of his.

"Oh, Teacher Ryuseki is looking for you for something!" Lin Yingbin called from outside the classroom, pulling Ryuseki, who was awkwardly unsure how to end the conversation, out.

Ryuseki, without a clue, put down his schoolbag and came out to ask which teacher was looking for him.

Lin Yingbin shook his head without answering, simply leading him towards the rooftop. As they walked, he told Ryuseki, "I've noticed that after that incident last time, I've often seen that guy wearing the red hat nearby. I suspect he might have some connection to Zhi."

The two walked one after another, but before they had gone far, Ryuseki was grabbed from behind.

"What are you two talking about?" That voice, which made Ryuseki uneasy, came from behind him. It was Meisha. "What are you discussing? Can't I listen too?"

"Come on, you don't have to act like this just to watch your boyfriend," Lin Yingbin said, waving his hand.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey~ Don't talk nonsense," Ryuseki's face immediately turned bright red.

Lin Yingbin rolled his eyes and replied, "What nonsense? The whole class knows about you two. No need for explanations."

"I..." Ryuseki was speechless. Lin Yingbin, who had originally rescued him from an awkward situation, had now plunged him into an even more embarrassing one.

During the subsequent Chinese class, Ryuseki kept staring at Meisha beside him. Even he didn't know why he was doing this. While looking at her profile, he reflected on when exactly he had started to care.

"Why are you looking at me?" Meisha also noticed Ryuseki's unusual behavior and turned her head to ask.

"N-nothing!" Ryuseki grabbed his Chinese textbook and pretended to read it seriously. Due to nervousness, he didn't even notice that he was holding the book upside down.

Seeing his clumsy actions, Meisha couldn't help but quietly remind him, "Your book is upside down!"

"Oh, oh, oh, sorry! My apologies," Ryuseki replied awkwardly.

Meisha smiled and asked, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

The Chinese teacher continued to lecture enthusiastically from the podium, as if the stage was his alone, fully showcasing himself. However, Ryuseki couldn't focus on anything the teacher was saying. His mind was not on the class at all; his attention was entirely on Meisha. He would steal glances at her from time to time during class.

Is this real? Is this really happening? Do I really like her? Ryuseki shook his head desperately, trying to shake off the memory.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" Meisha turned around and said to Ryuseki.

"Come on! It's class time! Keep your voice down!" Ryuseki whispered.

Meisha looked defeated and said, "Hey! Come on! It's after school, okay!"

"Oh! Is it?" Ryuseki looked around and realized they were the only two left.

"Let's talk about it this afternoon. I'm not going home for lunch today. I'm leaving now! Bye bye!" Meisha rushed out of the classroom, leaving Ryuseki alone.

Ryuseki stood there, completely bewildered.

During the afternoon break, Ryuseki, Lin Yingbin, and Ryuu Mufei discussed the recent events. Just as Ryuu Mufei had said earlier, the guy wearing the red hat had been appearing frequently lately, an event that had piqued their interest.

However, as they were engrossed in their discussion, no one noticed her arrival.

Meisha ran behind Ryuseki, wrapped her arms around his waist, and kissed him forcefully.

"I'm sorry for kissing you without your permission. I'm really sorry, but I lost a game of dare, so I was punished to kiss the person I like." Meisha stuck out her tongue playfully and ran away.

"She, she, she just took advantage of me like that?" Ryuseki stared blankly at the unbelievable young girl.

However, it was precisely because of this farce that Lin Yingbin felt a chill of fear.

After all, none of the three of them had noticed the person who had approached them from behind. Fortunately, it was someone they knew; if it had been a threat to them, the consequences could have been unimaginable.
