Behind your Mask is a Beautiful Smile 59 Chapter 59- Water Bottle

Ya Nuo: "Potatohead, stop being so naïve to strangers. One day you'll get eaten and won't even know how you ended up being other people's food."

Huan Hei: "Well.. if you're the one who is eating me, then I won't have any problems."

Ya Nuo: "You are only good with your sweet talk. Let's hurry and eat. We have less than half an hour to get back to school."

Huan Hei smiled, "Okay. Here eat more of this."

The following day, Ya Nuo was finishing changing and felt exhausted after her gymnastics class. She went to her next class and rummaged through her bag for water. When she found her water bottle, something cold touched her blushed face, "Wahh cold.."

Huan Hei: "Here, for you."

She smiled, "Thanks."

As she drank from the water bottle, Hen Qing, who was watching from outside the class smiled a devilish grin.

/ 15 minutes ago

Hen Qing held a cold water bottle and intentionally ran into Huan Hei, who was on his way to his next class.

"Huan Hei, are you on your way to class?"

"Yep."

"Where's Ya Nuo? You two are usually together."

"Her gymnastics class just ended so I'm walking to class first."

"Oh! She should be thirsty after exercising. When I bought breakfast this morning, they gave me a free drink so I have an extra bottle of water. You can give it to Ya Nuo since I won't drink it anyway."

"Alright. Thank you." He took the water bottle and walked to class.

/Present

Hen Qing hummed her favorite anime theme song while walking down the hallway. 'Huan Hei will be mine soon.'

Before class began, Ya Nuo and Nana agreed to have lunch together to talk about their love problems. Nana also wanted to return Ya Nuo's belongings that she left at her house from a few months ago. After class, Ya Nuo went to meet up with Nana while Huan Hei ate lunch alone.

Not long after Ya Nuo left, Hen Qing approached Huan Hei, "Where's Ya Nuo? Aren't you two having lunch together?"

Huan Hei replied, "She has her plans with another friend. So I'm eating alone today."

"Oh. I'm eating alone too. Care if I join you?"

"Sure. I was going to grab a burger from McDonald's, but I'll eat whatever you want to eat."

"Oh! There's this place that recently opened. I heard their chicken over rice is really good. Should we go try it?"

"Sure."

Meanwhile at Fuji Restaurant, Nana sighed and ate her pasta.

"Nana, you've been sighing. What's wrong? It's been months and you didn't gather your courage to go with the plan I suggested. Don't cry when he gets taken away by another girl."

"But every time I attempt to do it… I lose my confidence. I ask myself so many questions like what if he doesn't show up or he doesn't care about me anymore? We don't even eat lunch together as much ever since that Meng Ya girl showed up out of nowhere."

"Have you asked him about her?"

"No."

"Then ask him who she is or try to find out by making friends with her."

"That's weird to approach someone and be their friend for a motive. I tried to ask him, but he seems really busy for the past months."

"Then ask your brother to ask him. They're best friends aren't they?"

"Yeahhh, but… "

"Nana, this isn't a school exam so you can't study to pass it. You need to give effort and tell him how you feel."

"Mm… you're right...but.."

"No buts. You only live once so don't give yourself any regrets to look back on when you are 70 years old and single. If he rejects you, then you can move on. You can always talk about it to me, but this is the only advice I'll be repeating. Even if you don't get tired of listening to my advice over and over, I'll get bored saying it again."

"Mm.. then by the end of next week I'll do it!"

"Mhmm… I'll personally prepare you for it too."

"Yayy!!! Let's hurry and eat. Lunch break is almost over. Luckily our schools are so close to each other or else it would be hard to get a good lunch!"

"Yep. Eat more, you're too skinny."

After eating lunch, Ya Nuo had a stomach ache and needed to use the bathroom so Nana helped her hold her book bag. The pasta from earlier was too salty and Nana got thirsty. After telling Ya Nuo that she wanted to get some water from the deli, Ya Nuo told her that she has water in her bag. Nana opened her bag and saw two bottles of water. One bottle was opened and the other unopened. Nana took the unopened bottle and drank half of it.

Zhen Qi texted Nana:

Zhen Qi: "Nana, where are you? Are you still around the restaurant that you said you were going to eat at?"

Nana: "Yep. I'm outside of the restaurant."

Zhen Qi: "Good. Stay there. Let's go to class together. I'm 5-10 minutes away from where you are."

Nana: "Okay :) "

Ya Nuo came out of the restaurant looking refreshed.

Nana: "Is your stomach okay?"

Ya Nuo: "All good now."

Nana: "Zhen Qi is coming to pick me up soon so if you are in a rush, you can go back to school first."

Ya Nuo: "Alright. Remember what you said in the restaurant. By the end of next week" she winked.

Nana: "Mmm.. I know."

Ya Nuo: "Then let me know when you get back to school so I know you're safe. I'll leave first since he's coming."

Nana: "Okay~ I'll give you a call~ Thanks for the water."

Ya Nuo: "No problemo~~"

After Ya Nuo got to school, she received a call from Nana. Right after the call, she eagerly looked for Huan Hei.

Ding

Huan Hei messaged her to meet him at the student lounge room and she replied with an okay sticker.

'Good, I was just looking for you. But the lounge room? Whatever, I'll go there first.'

She pushed the student lounge door open, "Hei?"

Suddenly, someone shoved her from behind and she stumbled on the floor. When she got up, she saw a muscular man who was drooling and wiping his mouth after seeing her.

"Hehehe… I've had a crush on you since forever.. Your beautiful face and slim figure… I'm glad you reciprocate my feelings. Since this is mutual, let's have some fun here."
