Mixed Signals? Volume 2 Mysterious Figure

  "Go ahead, Xinyue! Don't be infatuated with just one blade of grass, go out and socialize more!"

  Xīng Yuè stared at Yōu Jī beside her with a dumbfounded expression, "Ah, even you..."

  Suddenly, a chill ran down her back, and it was Zhimo who had quietly approached her. In an icy and gloomy tone, she said: "Xiangyue, this gathering is organized by me, are you trying to sabotage my event again?"

  Oh my, I don't dare! Last time it was because I didn't rehearse enough, and as a result, the play was cancelled. Now whenever I see Zhi Meng, it's like seeing a plague god, I can only be obedient and listen to her.

  Actually, Xinyue didn't know that it wasn't her fault at all. Due to the school's financial problems, the entire New Year's party was cancelled, and naturally, the drama performance also came to nothing.

  "Alright, alright, I'll go!" Xinyue finally gave in.

  "Hehe, I knew Xinyue would agree! Xinyue is the cutest! Mmm... *peck*!" Yu Duo said with a smile, lightly pecking Xinyue's pretty face.

  "Too much! This is in class, we'll be seen!" Xinyue covered her blushing face and whispered. But she saw Yongji looking at her with eager eyes, her fingers intertwined, and said shyly: "I also want to kiss!"

  "Ah?" Xīnyuè was greatly startled.

  "And me..." Zhi Meng adjusted her glasses and said softly.

  。。。。。。

  In the ballroom, the intense music was deafening, and the colorful lights were jumping wildly, shining uncomfortably in people's eyes. Boys and girls paired up, twisting their bodies passionately on the dance floor.

  Xin Yue didn't like the noise, so she pulled Yong Ji to a quiet corner and chatted with her.

  "Yōko, are all reunions like this?"

  "It should be, you've never been to this kind of occasion before?" Yuki asked in surprise.

  "Hmm, I don't really like noisy places." Xiangyue said with a slight shrug.

  A handsome boy walked over.

  "Xīnyuè fellow student, may I have the pleasure of this dance?"

  "Ah, sorry, you see," Xiangyue repeated her previous action, stretching out those bandaged small hands again, "it hurts a bit, so..."

  "I understand, haha, sorry to bother you." The boy nodded and walked away with a sullen expression.

  Yongji burst out laughing on the side, patting the sofa, "Haha, this is the eighth one, soon it'll be in double digits! Xiangyue is so formidable! Hehe, but can't you come up with a different excuse? If I were you, I'd say, don't worry, I'll just hug you and jump together, no need for hands!"

  "Alright, stop laughing!" Xinyue was greatly embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, where did Zhimeng and Yudu go? Weren't they just here a moment ago?"

  "Haha, that Zhī Méng guy, 80% is probably settling accounts, she and Yú Duó are both very greedy!"

  Xīn Yuè also laughed and asked, "That makes sense, but will Yú Duō really pay the membership fee? I remember..." Xīn Yuè hadn't finished speaking when she was interrupted by Yōng Jī: "Haha, you don't know yet, do you? Zhì Méng promised Yú Duō that if she brings you in too, she won't have to pay the membership fee. Think about it, how much can one person's membership fee be worth? But if you join and add Zhì Méng's hype, how many more boys will come?"

  Zhī Méng...

  Two people were chatting when Yu Duo came over, holding a wine glass in his hand and with a bright red face, clearly having had a bit too much to drink.

  "Xīnyuè, come have a drink! Hehe, cheers!"

  "Don't drink anymore, you're drunk!" Xinyue took away the wine cup from Yudu and let her lean on her shoulder.

  "These guys just want to get girls drunk and take advantage of them!" Yōko stretched her arms, lay back on the couch, and suddenly asked with a excited face: "This place is so boring, do you want to go to my house and play?"

  "What? Now?"

  "Hello, may I have this dance?"

  Everyone turned their heads and looked over, it was another handsome guy with a charming demeanor. Xiang Ji covered her mouth and teased: "Hehe, the ninth one!"

  "Sorry, I..." Xiangyue was interrupted before she could finish speaking. The handsome guy waved his hand and pointed at Yuduo, saying "Excuse me, I wanted to ask her to dance, not you."

  "What? Me?" Yu Duo suddenly came to his senses and sobered up a bit.

  "Yes, I'm Yan Wei. Nice to meet you. May I have the pleasure of this dance?" The young man named Yan Wei smiled slightly, bent his body, stretched out his arm and made a elegant inviting gesture, and with just a few simple steps, he led Yu Duo away.

  "Pfft! What a annoying little white face!" Yīng Jī sighed, but saw Xīn Yuē tightly pursing her small mouth, seemingly deep in thought as she gazed at the dance pool's Yú Duō, who was winking at them with a self-satisfied expression.

  "My goodness, Xiangyue isn't jealous, is she? I didn't see anything good about that boy at all." Yongji thought for a moment and asked, "Xiangyue, are you okay?"

  "Huh? What's up?" Xinyue came back to her senses, casually picked up a cup of Coke and asked while drinking.

  "Oh, hehe, hehe, it's all right," Yōko coughed twice and continued: "Why don't we go first, let's go to my house and play."

  "No! I have to wait for Yuduo, but somehow I feel a bit uneasy." Xinyue narrowed her eyes and looked at Yuduo in the dance pool, with many questions in her mind.

  From a girl's perspective, Yu is very optimistic, generous and meticulous, which makes her very likable.

  From a man's perspective, appearance is almost the most important thing to them. Thinking of this, Xinyue couldn't help but blush a little, she herself initially liked "Qingchi" probably because of his looks too. Speaking of which, Yu Duo isn't considered beautiful, doesn't like dressing up, and has a tendency to be stingy. And yet this guy called Yanwei, who clearly had a crush on her at first sight, it's not that it's impossible, but somehow it just feels off!

  Hmph! Keep a close eye on him and see when his fox tail will be exposed!

  The night wind blows gently, like a thin gauze lightly stroking the cheeks, cool and refreshing, making one feel carefree and joyful.

  Under the soft streetlights, the girl walked with a smile, her little leather shoes tapping on the ground, making a cheerful "click-clack" sound.

  "Huff, huff..." Xīn Yuè walked energetically, with Yú Duō sleeping soundly on her back, making it a bit hard for her to breathe.

  "You're tired, let me carry it instead."

  "No, no! We agreed that each person would carry ten electric poles. How can we break the rules?" Xinyue sighed again, lamenting the weakness of this body, but the former Xinyue used to fight with her, it's really unclear how she did it.

  "Xīnyuè, this is our second time going home together, isn't it? It's really strange, seems like every time someone falls asleep on my back."

  Yongji finished speaking, and both of them smiled in agreement.

  That guy named Yan Wei is really over the line, although I didn't see any ulterior motives, but he shouldn't just leave without even saying goodbye. If there's something urgent at home, then he shouldn't have come to the party in the first place. It made Yu Duo very unhappy, thinking that he had offended him, and as a result, he got drunk and had to rely on himself to get back home.

  "Xīn Yuè, we've reached the tenth utility pole. Come on, it's my turn to carry!" Yōng Jī said as she crouched down, waiting for Xīn Yuè to put the remaining load onto her back.

  What? Has she been counting all along? She even forgot about it herself.

  Two people each have their own thoughts, walking silently, occasionally passing by Yu Du's even breathing sound.

  It's been a long time...

  "Yōng Jī, you're really good to me!"

  "Hehe, really?" Yōko opened her small mouth and said with a smile: "If I were a boy, I would definitely fall in love with you."

  "Ah?" Xīnyuè was startled, wait a minute, shouldn't this be something I should say?

  "Xīnyuè, does your family have a villa in Xueyu Mountains?"
