Green Tea Beauty

  Chi Xing rushed to the venue in a hurry. On the way, he bumped into Bian Heng. As soon as the two of them met, they were full of hostility to each other, pressuring against one another until they almost held hands to restrain each other. Neither of them would relent or allow the other party to take even a step faster than himself.

     But in the eyes of outsiders, no matter how they looked at it, it just felt gay-like.

     On the other side, through chatting with Huo Yi Nan, Gu Yin also got to know Lin Shi Cha a little bit. She was a girl with an easily softened heart. At the beginning, when she scolded Lin Shi Cha angrily, it was only because she saw her swinging between two guys. Now, she was feeling quite complicated.

     The sound on the stage instantly stopped as the curtain slowly pulled open, revealing a girl sitting next to the piano in the center of the stage.

     Gu Yin elbowed Huo Yi Nan, "Your little darling."

     Huo Yi Nan didn't say anything, but his gaze landed honestly on the stage.

     The piano piece played by Lin Shi Cha isn’t very difficult. Her notes were not rushed, but slow and deep. Obviously, the speed requirement of the hand wasn’t high. Yet, the emotions contained in the sound of the piano were extremely full.

     The people speaking under the stage subconsciously lowered their voices, which is the greatest affirmation to the performer's ability.

     At this moment, Lin Shi Cha was like a fluttering white butterfly, quietly resting on the black and white keys, playing perfect movements with every flutter.

     With her eyes lowered, her graceful and slender finger attracted people’s attention.

     Suddenly, Huo Yi Nan heard a sigh by his ear, drawing his attention back from Lin Shi Cha. It was Gu Yin, who said: "It sounds quite nice..." There was no hidden meaning, it was simply a normal sentence.

     Huo Yi Nan only sat like this. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He found he was holding his phone, as if he subconsciously wanted to check the tenth level question that Lin Shi Cha had sent him.

     His subconscious still wanted to know what gift Lin Shi Cha was going to give him.

     A person next to Gu Yin called her to the bathroom, so the two pressed themselves out of the seats, leaving only Huo Yi Nan behind in a daze.

     At the end of this performance, the league entered the intermission time. The audience can leave their seats to buy food and drink or go to the bathroom at will. After all, it was already time for lunch.

     Shen Mo suddenly appeared in the venue, jumping up and waving to Lin Shi Cha from far away: "Cha Cha!"

     Shen Mo seemed unaware that he had attracted the attention of the audience. He held a loaf of bread and two bottles of milk in one hand along with a bright smile on his face as he approached Lin Shi Cha under the gaze of everyone, "I bought something to eat , are you hungry? Come drink some milk, do your fingers hurt? I saw you playing the piano just now, it sounds so good." After raining compliments on her, he unscrewed the cap of the milk bottle and handed it over.

     With an expression also looking for compliments.

     "Thank you." Lin Shi Cha’s eyes curved as she accepted it and took a sip.

     The chatterbox, Shen Mo, kept talking to Lin Shi Cha about everything. Once he caught sight of Huo Yi Nan, he immediately became vigilant like one would protect a calf and silently moved in front of Lin Shi Cha to block Huo Yi Nan's sight.

     "Eh?" Lin Shi Cha was puzzled.

     "He's looking at you, I'm jealous." Shen Mo didn’t disguise his thoughts. Especially wherever Lin Shi Cha wanted to look over, he would block her with his body, not allowing her to look at Huo Yi Nan.

     Lin Shi Cha: "Ah… …" She tilted her body and grasped Shen Mo's arm to pop her head over to look at Huo Yi Nan's direction. Sure enough, he was looking over coldly with an unclear expression.

     Shen Mo should have been unhappy. However, when Lin Shi Cha hugged him like this, his head became bubbling and he forgot even what year this was.

     Lin Shi Cha asked: "Huo Yi Nan, have you solved that problem yet?"

     Huo Yi Nan didn't want to talk to her. To be precise, he didn't want to talk to her when he saw her being that intimate with Shen Mo. But Shem Mo's possessive appearance felt like an eyesore to him, so after a while, he still replied: "No. "

     Lin Shi Cha’s eyes immediately became watery.

     Right now, the venue was quiet. However, at this moment, two boys' voices sounded from far and near the door, attracting everyone's attention again.

     It turned out to be Bian Heng and Chi Xing.

     No one knew what they were arguing about.

     "... …What TF are you, daring to take one step more than me? You must have ulterior motives, hehe."

     "That's because I have long legs, you short-legged ugly bastard, stay away from Lin Shi Cha."

     "I have short legs??? D*mn, take off your pants, let’s compare!"

     "Who the frick wants to compare with you, scram to one side."

     "Aren't you just two centimeters taller than me? What are you so proud of?"

     "Two centimeters is still taller than you, heh!"

     Someone recognized the two of them.

     "... …Senior, didn't you say the student council has something to deal with and won't come to the league?"

     "... …Boss, didn't you say the league is full of idiots and won't come to the league?"

     Chi Xing/Bian Heng: … … Because I just remembered that Lin Shi Cha was participating!

     Yet, as soon as they saw Shen Mo hugging Lin Shi Cha, the two of them instantly exploded with the same goal in mind.

     Chi Xing: "Shen Mo, move your hands away!" He glared at Shen Mo, dissatisfied, wanting to pull Lin Shi Cha over.

     Bian Heng: "... … She’s eating, what are you hugging for? You’re going to overheat her!"

     Shen Mo raised his chin: "So what if I hug her? You, Chi Xing, with me here, don't even think about trying to bully Cha Cha!" In his eyes, Chi Xing was a bad delinquent.

     "Ha?" Chi Xing thought this was ridiculous, "Who the h*ll dares to bully her? She starts crying  as soon as I touch her, it's more like her bullying me!!"

     Bian Heng immediately turned his head around: "Where did you touch her?"

     "None of your business."

     As soon as Gu Yin returned, she was met with a large Shura field. Folding her arms, she leaned aside to watch the excitement and even wanted to buy a bag of melon seeds to enjoy.

     There were so many people in the venue. Even if everyone pretends not to look at this side, they were more or less eavesdropping. When have you seen people not moving when it’s meal time?

     At this time, there was a cold snort from the side.

     "I was still wondering who it was, it turned out to be the famous Lin Shi Cha. That is to say, no one can play those four people like her. Up till now, we still haven’t seen anyone take revenge on her ah, what high skills ah! "

     Chi Xing and the other three turned their heads to look over.

     Lin Shi Cha was currently drinking milk. She saw a girl with shoulder-length short hair leaning against the stand with her arms folded, staring at Lin Shi Cha with a sarcastic expression, her eyes full of resentment, disgust and a trace of envy.

     "You're the only one with a mouth?" Chi Xing was the first to speak out in displeasure, glaring at the girl.

     "I suppose so? No one else dares to say it." The girl didn't seem to be afraid of Chi Xing and didn’t even flinch. She was sure he wouldn't dare to mess around at the venue, so she blurted out sentences one harsher than the previous, "It's really interesting, could it be your four take turns? Let’s see: Chi Xing on Mondays, Bian Heng on Tuesdays, Shen Mo on Wednesdays, Huo Yi Nan on Thursdays, then all together on Fridays and the weekends?"

     At first glance, this statement might not seem to have said anything, but it was full of hints at something s*xual.

     "Don’t you guys find it dirty!" After she finished speaking, she spat at Lin Shi Cha: "Trash!"

     Chi Xing's face turned livid. He wanted to hit her, but was stopped by someone who appeared beside him, "Don't, don’t, calm down first."

     The milk bottle in Lin Shi Cha's hand fell to the ground, making Shen Mo panicked. Although he was angry, he still stuck close to Lin Shi Cha.

     Lin Shi Cha glanced over, very calm: "What's your name?"

     "Why, do you want to find people to gang up on me?" That girl gave a snicker and peered at Lin Shi Cha with contempt: "I just don't know how many good brothers you have, who are willing to do things for you."

     "Shut up!!"

     Chi Xing's voice sounded next to her, "What are you restraining me for, let go! I tell you all to let go!"

     "I won’t find someone to beat you... Moreover, I have no one to turn to." From the beginning to end, Lin Shi Cha never became angry. She only felt it was strange, "I probably don't know you, or maybe do you like Chi Xing? Bian Heng? Or do you like Shen Mo or Huo Yi Nan?"

     "Otherwise, why are you so angry?"

     "Because you’re cheap." That girl gave this reason, "Not only are you cheap, you’re also a b*tch." She looked at Lin Shi Cha as if she was looking at some garbage.

     Lin Shi Cha's eyes widened slightly.

     As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly got out of control. Chi Xing had managed to break free from his restraints. When that girl saw Chi Xing's frightening face, she was terrified and scrambled back screaming. Who knew her path to escape would be blocked by someone? That girl raised her head, it was Huo Yi Nan.

     He stood condescendingly on the steps, his eyes as apathetic as looking at a dead thing.

     A fight was about to start.

     The venue became noisy.

     There were bursts of screams in Lin Shi Cha's ears again, just like the silent fans' voices in her fantasy previously along with the sound of howling wind, making thundering shrieks.

     It might be because the milk she drank a second ago coated her throat weirdly that it started to feel a little uncomfortable. Lin Shi Cha grabbed Shen Mo's clothes and coughed loudly. The more she coughed, the more she couldn't stop it.

     Her throat throbbed as her mouth filled with a sweet fishy taste.

     Lin Shi Cha touched her mouth and noticed blood. She opened her mouth to speak, only the bright red blood began to flow uncontrollably out from the corners of her mouth. For some reason, she couldn't stop it.

     Then, her nose followed the feverish warmness and some fluid flowed down, which was also blood.

     "Blood!"

     "Lin Shi Cha has a nosebleed!"

     "There's blood in her mouth too!"

     "My God!"

     Shen Mo was paying attention to the way the other three people were settling the score with that girl, so he took his eyes off Lin Shi Cha for a while. When he heard everyone shouting, he was startled and lowered his head to look.

     He didn’t know what happened to Lin Shi Cha. The pure white dress she was wearing was stained red with blood while she seemed to be in a trance, covering her nose with one hand and her mouth with the other, panting heavily.

     Sometimes some accidents can never be predicted by humans, but the aura when it erupts is enough to scare all.

     In this midsummer season, the intense heat was replaced by ice.

     The four people, who were sprinting, sweated profusely on their foreheads. The girl's arms in his embrace were hanging limply in the air and her head rested on his chest, while fresh blood was still flowing, staining Chi Xing's clothes.

     The hair on her forehead rose and fell with his running, just like everyone's heartbeat.

     Fortunately, the venue was in the center of Shui Lu Town so there was a large hospital not far away with complete medical equipment.

     This alarmed all the teachers and organizers as the siren of the ambulance rang in the background.

     The homeroom teacher was terrified. She patted Lin Shi Cha, who was unconscious: "Student Lin, Student Lin, is your illness acting up?" Terrified, she quickly took her phone to call Grandma Lin.

     The four of them were all equally taken aback. While Bian Heng was busy wiping away Lin Shi Cha's continuous nosebleed, he asked: "What illness acting up?"

     Chi Xing's mind flashed to that one time Lin Shi Cha went to the hospital to buy medicine. She said it was for her grandma.

     His face paled: "Cha… …"

     Lin Shi Cha was pushed away on the stretcher by the doctors and nurses who rushed over. Seeing Lin Shi Cha gradually move away from him, it was the first time he truly felt the fear, the fear of death.

     Not far away, the homeroom teacher, who finished the call, was talking to the doctor at the door. Her voice carried over, "... …Multiple myeloma... …The child has had it since birth... It has already been seventeen years..."

     The doctor asked, "Why didn't you do a bone marrow transplant sooner? Look at how many years it’s been, there's no way to cure it!"

     "...I heard that… …the family has no money and the parents are divorced, leaving the child to the grandma to take care of."

     Chi Xing fell into a trance. He raised his hand to grab his hair, his chest heaved violently and his clothes wet with sweat. Just like that with blood on his chest, he leaned against the wall of the corridor.

     Bian Heng's hands were trembling, while he kept muttering: "What kind of disease is that... what kind of disease is that..."

     There were cries of pain from the ward.

     Through the glass window, the four of them could see that Lin Shi Cha was forced on the bed by the nurse and doctor. Her eyes were wide open as she kept struggling and squirming, her body arched. The pain coming from the bones pierced her soul and was so nauseating that she wanted to vomit. Yet, she hadn’t eaten anything for lunch so she couldn’t vomit out anything. All she could do was dry retching.
