BXBX NOVEL Chapter 48 - 25: Tango in the Ice
Dark clouds had already drifted over, and Ye Xiao hurriedly pulled Ye Bolin to shelter inside the car.
The others also scattered, looking for places to hide from the rain.
But.
Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong just stood there, motionless.
What was a little rain?
Without the rain, how could it highlight the pain and despair in their hearts!
Pei Yue fixated his gaze on Ye Bingtong, he started to feel that something was amiss.
Bingtong had clearly spoken such heartless words.
But why.
Did she look so pained.
Right.
It was Ye Xiao who had produced that recording.
What good could come from someone like Ye Xiao?
Was she the one who secretly forced Bingtong to say those things?
It must be!
Bingtong must still love him.
Engaging in intense mental struggles, Pei Yue was about to say something.
Suddenly.
A piece of hail dropped from the sky with a bang, hitting him right on the top of the head.
Pei Yue: “???”
He was stunned.
Instinctively, he looked up at the sky.
Bang, another piece fell, this time hitting his eye.
Pei Yue couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
On the other side.
The hail pounded down on Ye Bingtong, relentlessly hitting her.
This time, Ye Bingtong truly was in pain!
Getting hit by hail on the flesh, how could it not hurt?
Ye Xiao was amused by the situation.
She had just altered the script.
Changing the first sentence.
“The ice rain fell recklessly.”
Into.
“The hail fell recklessly.”
Were these two not suffering enough in their hearts?
Don’t just keep it to your hearts, let your bodies suffer as well.
Perhaps in the book, it was only mentioned that the ice rain fell on the protagonists, but the current scene was extraordinarily fantastical.
In this entire area, only where the male and female protagonists stood did it keep hailing, while there were no issues in the areas where other people stood.
The crowd, which was initially eager to seek shelter from the rain, stared at the hail in September weather and suddenly found themselves unable to move.
Good heavens.
They thought if they just got rained on, it would be okay, a little rain wasn’t a problem.
But the sight of the hail chasing after the two people was something they had never seen before.
Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong were seen ducking for cover, battered by the hail. Both wanted to escape, but wherever they ran, the hail followed, as if it bore a grudge against them.
Pei Yue dodged the hail while grinding his teeth, “Bingtong, I know those weren’t your true feelings. You must still love me, don’t you?”
Ye Bingtong nimbly sidestepped, dodging a chunk of hail aimed at her nose, but in her distraction, another piece hit her on the forehead.
Ye Bingtong was somewhat dazed by the hit, but a surge of determination drove her to say, “Pei Yue, don’t overthink it! What I said was heartfelt, we’re over.”
“No, I don’t believe it.” Pei Yue’s maneuvers were a bit better than Ye Bingtong’s.
He twisted like a snake, evading several chunks of hail, his face showing a hint of agony.
It was just hard to tell at the moment whether the pain was from within his heart or because he was actually being pummeled too harshly by the hail.
“What I said is true,” Ye Bingtong’s face was contorted, “We’re not from the same world, from now on, let’s not see each other.”
Pei Yue bit down on his teeth, “Bingtong, no matter what you say! I won’t believe it! I know I have nothing now, but please wait for me, I will come back for you. By then, I will be able to give you everything you want.”
Having said this, Pei Yue turned and left.
He had originally wanted to have a proper conversation with Ye Bingtong.
But!
This persistent hail was just too bizarre!
He was afraid if he spoke any more, his waist would be twisted off.
This separation was supposed to be filled with reluctance and pain.
But, under the compulsion of the hail, Pei Yue actually left somewhat impatiently.
If he didn’t leave, was he supposed to wait to be smashed to death?
He had to find somewhere to take shelter!
It was rather strange, though.
As soon as Pei Yue left his line of sight, the hail also vanished, leaving only a drizzle.
Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She had a vague feeling.
Hiss…
Could it be that Pei Yue is some kind of jinx?
Why else would there be hail in September?
And as soon as Pei Yue left, the hail stopped?
Ye Xiao stepped out of the car with her umbrella, chuckling, “Yo, Bingtong, is it possible that your relationship has been cursed by the heavens? Why else would there be such a ridiculous thing as September hail? If you ask me, you two should be captured and studied.”
Ye Bingtong couldn’t help but give Ye Xiao a glare, but the next moment, as if she remembered something, she took on a pitiful look, “Xiaoxiao… don’t tease me. I… I don’t know what happened either.”
As she spoke, she tried to move under Ye Xiao’s umbrella.
Ye Xiao hurriedly dodged to the side, “Don’t come any closer, you and that Pei Yue are both jinxes, I don’t want to get touched by you.”
Ye Xiao walked away with her umbrella held high.
Ye Bingtong looked at Ye Bolin with immense grievance.
Ye Bolin said, “Bingtong, you’d better hurry inside. We don’t want more hail to start falling.”
More hail?
Ye Bingtong’s heart lurched, and she instinctively looked up at the sky; not seeing any more hail, she slightly relaxed.
But she didn’t dare linger and started running with small steps.
When she reached the classroom,
Ye Xiao was sitting there, fresh and cool.
Today’s acting class was a rare treat; it featured a well-known professor who had coached numerous award-winning actors and actresses, and he was personally lecturing.
This professor only taught one class a month.
Thus, even though it was an early morning class, the classroom was already packed full.
Ye Bingtong wanted to sit in one of the front rows to ensure that Professor Yan would notice her.
But.
The first few rows were already tightly packed.
She thought for a moment and looked towards a guy who used to fawn over her.
He had confessed to her countless times, but she already had someone special, so naturally, she had turned him down every time.
This time, if she asked him for his seat, he would probably agree without hesitation, right?
It would just mean she might have to endure his pestering.
So be it.
To catch Professor Yan’s attention, enduring a bit of hassling was worth it.
A smile appeared on Ye Bingtong’s face as she walked towards him with a grin.
“Ye, classmate!” Unexpectedly, the former fawner showed a highly anxious expression, “Just stand there, don’t get too close to me.”
Among college students, news spreads the fastest.
The hail tango that just transpired between Pei Yue and Ye Bingtong had been recorded and uploaded to the school forum.
Now, everyone agreed that these two were probably bad luck charms; otherwise, why would the hail hit only them?
Such misfortune seemed contagious, so it was safer to keep a distance from her.
On the former fawner’s face, a look that seemed almost disdainful, which made Ye Bingtong’s complexion change.
She felt provoked!
She, as a goddess, had hundreds, if not dozens, of these devotees.
Talking to him, as a goddess condescending to his level, wasn’t that granting him a great honor?
And yet, he dared to disdain her?
No, it couldn’t be, she must have seen it wrong.
Ye Bingtong still wore her standard gentle smile, “Classmate, I wanted to ask if I could switch seats with you. I’m late, and there are no more seats in the front.”
