Chapter 21: Disappearance 2

  "Luó Zhēn? He seems to have left already?" Mǐn Jìng looked at me with a puzzled expression.

  "Are you leaving?! Where are you going?" I was surprised by Min Jing's words.

  "Yes, I saw him leave school, and what's more, he even climbed over the wall to get out!"

  "Out of school? Jumping over the wall?" This...this can't be Luo Zhen!

  "Yes, clever boy Ou Luo Chen, unexpectedly climbed over the wall and scared me! But that move was so neat and efficient!"

  "This doesn't sound right, Min Jing, are you sure that's Luo Chen?" Yue asked with some doubt.

  "I'm sure of it, although I can hardly believe it myself, but I saw it with my own eyes, and Ming did too!"

  Ming is Xuan's good friend and also Min Jing's boyfriend. Since they're both certain, it shouldn't be wrong... but how could Luo Chen...

  "Hui Zhen, didn't Luo Chen say anything to you?" Min Jing looked at me and asked.

  "Really? Didn't Luo Chen tell you what he's going to do?" Yue also looked at me in the same way.

  I furrowed my brow in thought, where did Luo Chen go? Why didn't he tell me? Just as I felt strange, I suddenly remembered that earlier in the corridor, Luo Chen seemed to have said...

  "If I become handsome, will Hye-jin like me?"

  "Luó Zhēn......?"

  "If I become really handsome, will Hye-jin like me?" He let go of me and asked, staring at me steadily.

  "I..."

  His sudden question left me at a loss for words, his gaze made my heart beat inexplicably faster.

  Seeing me not responding, a hint of pain flashed in Luo Chen's eyes, and although it was just for an instant, it slightly pained my heart...

  "Haha... it seems like... no way..."

  His deliberately concealed sad smile hurts me, the sudden question, the unfamiliar heartache, what does it represent?

  "Luò Zhēn, listen to me, just now I was just joking, I won't fall in love with the transfer student!" I explained softly.

  "It's okay... Hye-jin, I'm fine..."

  "Besides, I won't fall for a guy just because of his good looks, Luo Chen you know that, right?"

  "Uh-huh, I know, Hui Zhen doesn't care about a guy's appearance." He gave me a faint smile.

  "And yet! Even if Luo Zhen isn't handsome, I would..." As I spoke, I suddenly stopped.

  What am I saying? What do I really want to say? If Luo Xuan becomes very handsome, will I fall in love with him? Will I? If he's still so ordinary, what feelings do I have for him? Me... What's wrong with me...?

  "Hui Zhen...?" He seemed to have heard something and looked at me with some delight.

  "Uh... yeah... that's it..." Ugh, I'm so torn, what am I supposed to say?!

  Luò Zhēn looked at me with a worried expression but couldn't say anything, suddenly, she drew out a brilliant smile.

  Heavens... This is the first time I've seen Luo Chen's smile so radiant! Why does his ordinary face make me feel so handsome? Wow!!! What's wrong with me?! Heavens... My heart is racing wildly.

  "I understand, Hui Zhen, you don't have to say it!" he said gently.

  "Huh? Understand?" What does he understand? He understood? But I still don't get it!

  "Hmm, but I'm not worthy of confessing to you yet, wait for me, I'll come back with a brand new self!" He said firmly.

  "Confess, confession?!" Hearing these two words made my face even hotter, and the pounding in my heart grew stronger.

  "Thank you, Hye-jin, you gave me the courage to change again." He looked at me with sincerity and gratitude.

  Thinking carefully, it really is like this...

  "What were you thinking of?" Seeing me suddenly enlightened, Yue and Min asked curiously.

  I roughly told them the process, and after listening, the two of them exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

  "Hmm, it seems that Luo Chen is quite thoughtful after all. He wants to change himself for you. But in terms of appearance, Hyeon should also be a threat to Luo Chen, right?" Min Jing said with a sly smile.

  "Hey, the IQ of this high school student is not to be underestimated. Just one look and you can tell they're not that kind of relationship. But this transfer student who hasn't been seen before, who knows? I heard he's even more handsome than Bi Hyeon, hehe. If you're not nervous, you're not a man?" Ye also said with a sly smile.
