"Jiajia, your boyfriend is waiting for you again. How nice," the girl sitting next to me nudged me with her elbow, gesturing toward the entrance.
My name is Lu Jia, just one character away from "Passerby A."
After the last matchmaking incident, my relationship with the male lead quickly heated up.
I have to say, the current male lead is quite something—he manages his physique and has a charming personality and looks.
My boyfriend also gets jealous.
After class, I excitedly went to link my arm with his, and he playfully pulled away a bit. "You said you would come watch me play basketball."
"I did go."
"But you weren't really watching me."
"I was watching you the whole time, baby."
"Then what number am I?"
I: ...
What number was it again?
"You weren't really watching me at all." His voice dropped suddenly.
As I pondered what to say to cheer him up, he said, "Lu Jia, I can cheer myself up, so could you please look at me more?"
Oh no, how could I be so mean to my little angel?
"I promise I'll only watch you next time."
I solemnly promised.
It turned out that my promise was worthless.
In the small grove by the school playground, he kissed me while asking, "What number am I?"
"Number 13."
I knew this answer; I had memorized it before he went on stage.
"Then which number are you looking at?"
I: ... I’ve looked at everyone except the ugly ones.
Noticing I was distracted, he bit me lightly, "Liar, didn’t you say you only look at me?"
Seeing him so furious, his usually indifferent expression was filled with a wild intensity.
I wrapped my arms around his waist and coaxed, "I've been watching you all along. No one else compares to my treasure. I only looked at them because they were being so bad, bumping into you on purpose. I was just angry."
Zhou Bai said nothing, only held me tighter.
I was fickle; I was guilty. I upheld the virtue of a woman for the male lead.
I stood at the classroom door waiting for Zhou Bai to finish class.
"Jiajia, waiting for Zhou Bai?" A beautiful Senior Sister greeted me as she passed by.
"Yes." I smiled obediently as Senior Sister leaned in, poking my dimple with her finger. "I really don't know what you see in him. Tsk, that guy is quite lucky."
I just smiled and said nothing.
Meeting Zhou Bai was indeed my fortune.
Aside from being the male lead of the story, he was truly a qualified boyfriend.
The class bell rang.
" Bai —" I smiled, ready to call his name to surprise him.
Then I watched in disbelief as someone next to him intentionally bumped the table, causing everything on his desk to fall to the ground.
!!!
It was one thing for them to sneakily bully him when I wasn't around; I could comfort myself that it was just the way the plot unfolded, something I couldn't change.
But they were bullying my male lead right in front of me.
I rushed forward, my beauty buff parting the crowd for me.
I knew that Zhou Bai would eventually become a capable leader, and I also knew that once the game started, these people would be gone for good.
But I couldn't bear it. I couldn't bear to see the boy who worked three jobs just to buy me gifts, all to make me happy, being humiliated like this.
I couldn't bear to see the boy who noticed my cold hands and placed them on his stomach to warm them, crouching down while everyone laughed at him.
And I certainly couldn't bear to see the boy who blushed and agreed to all my unreasonable requests, picking up his things with a pale face.
I walked over to Zhou Bai and squatted down beside him.
His face was even paler, probably because he didn't want me to see him in such a disheveled state.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy that I came to find you? I just finished class and happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd check on you. Since you hadn't come out yet, I came in to look for you," I said while organizing the things in my hands.
"Bai, you're so clumsy. You're an adult now, yet you can't even tidy up your things," I said affectionately, though my nose felt a bit sour.
At that moment, people around us began to help out.
I didn't thank them; they didn't deserve it. After all, I've been indulging myself as Lu Jia for quite some time now.
In the days that followed, Zhou Bai and I were inseparable, doing our best to avoid such situations from happening again.
But it seemed the direction and tone of the story had already been set.
As the beautiful Passerby A, I was naturally meant to be liked by others, emphasizing the line from the original work: "She was spoiled but undeniably beautiful; people fell over themselves for her. Yet when the end came, her beauty became her greatest weakness, and after the Mysterious Game began, she disappeared."
As the male lead in this narrative, Zhou Bai also faced a lot of pressure and criticism early on, just like in the original—also because of me.
But unlike the original story, I chose him, while it did not happen there.
And I would steadfastly choose him again and again.
"I'm sorry, classmate, but I have a boyfriend," I once again rejected an unknown suitor's confession.
"Jiajia, someone like Zhou Bai doesn't deserve you," he said as he forcefully shoved a gift into my hands.
Someone like him? What kind of person was Zhou Bai?
I threw the gift back into his arms, you stupid fool who can't even speak.
In the midst of the struggle, an announcement echoed through the sky.
【Mysterious Game has begun.】
I turned to look for Zhou Bai, but was pulled back by someone behind me.
???
Do you think just because others aren't angry, you can treat people like fools?
I directly threw the gift at his face and said, "Get lost, don't bother me."
Zhou Bai's phone was constantly unreachable; I suspected he had already entered the game.
Staring at the unreachable call interface, I felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
Before I knew it, I had walked to the bottom of the boys' dormitory.
“Lu Jia, are you looking for Xiao Bai? He went out; I guess he should be looking for you. You two didn’t run into each other?” Zhou Bai’s roommate, Fatty, approached me as I stood at the dorm entrance and greeted me.
I was taken aback and didn’t respond.
During the earlier struggle, I had vaguely seen Zhou Bai’s figure, but when I turned back, that familiar silhouette had vanished.
At that moment, I thought I must have been mistaken.
No wonder I felt so restless earlier; without a doubt, he must be overthinking things.
“Seriously, this guy. You have to come find him; I'll call him right now.” Fatty patted his belly, looking like a big brother ready to avenge you.
Sure enough, he didn't get through either.
Fatty looked up at me, then down at his phone. "Maybe? Perhaps he got pulled into a game? Otherwise, there's no reason not to answer the call..."
His voice grew softer and less confident.
I felt my own confidence waning as well. Even though nothing had happened, I couldn't shake the feeling of being caught.
On the way back to the dorm, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.
What was I afraid of? I shouldn't be afraid.
But what if? What if Zhou Bai went crazy again?
It had happened before; as long as things weren't clear, my mouth would definitely end up sore the next day.
Once again, I found myself in a world where only I got hurt.
I sighed and murmured, "I need to think of a good way to explain this."
A cold wind blew through the small grove by the playground, and a voice came from behind me:
"What explanation?"
