Chapter 29 No to campus love
“Ye Jun and Demo are coming too,” Qiao Wei said.
Demo was another boy in their class who was quite hostile to Han Zixin as he was one of Lu Xian’s sidekick. As to why he was named Demo when his real name was Di Mo, it was a story of another time.
Mona, Song Ci, Demo, Qiao Wei and Ye Jun along with An Xiulan were having lunch together under the shade of an oak tree. The Oak tree was planted on one side of the old playground and around it pavement was made, occasionally used by students to hang out there. Even after decades of being planted, the tree stood proud and magnanimous, providing its shade and company to students to make hundreds of sweet, bitter and salty memories.
“Xiao Lan, what did Teacher Wan ask you that day for?” Ye Jun asked when he was reminded how someone from the class had seen both An Xiulan and Han Zixin together in the staff room. “You went to the staff room with Han Zixin, didn’t you?”
“I’m telling you, Xiao Lan, Han Zixin is a bastard. You should stay away from him.” Demo grumbled, without holding back his dislike for the school tyrant. “He lures pretty and innocent girls like you to his team. Stay away from his tricks, okay?”.
They were afraid that naive and innocent An Xiulan would fall for Han Zixin’s sinister plans without knowing how a certain school tyrant had been subdued by a thick English to Chinese dictionary.
An Xiulan just nodded and didn’t say anything. She could see her classmates worry about her.
“Xiuxiu, what did Teacher Wan say that day?” Qiao Wei asked. Even she was curious why the teacher called them to the office. Could it be he was returning her BL novels that he had confiscated?
Heavens, if her novels would be returned she would give ten yuan to a needy man.
“He made me and Han Zixin president and vice president of the committee that will stop students from falling into a ditch called puppy love,” An Xiulan’s pretty lips formed into a pout as she recalled that day.
“What?!!!”
All of them had frightening expressions on their faces.
An Xiulan nodded her head. “And if we fail to discharge our duties properly, he will send us to Class A to learn discipline for a month.’
“What????!!”
Now their expressions were even more frightening. It was as if they had heard a very scary prophecy.
“Xiuxiu, you can’t go to class A,” Qiao Wei held An Xiulan’s hand and said in a pitiful voice. It was as if she was a lamb going to be sacrificed.
“They will eat you whole,” Song Ci said next.
Mona looked here and there, and after making sure that no one was listening to them, she gestured to them to lean over as she said, “I have heard from my sources that Class Ten A knows black magic.”
“Black magic?”An Xiulan pronounced the word while trembling. She knew how scary black magic could be. In her era, if someone performed black magic, they had to be nice to them or they would curse them by casting a spell.
She shuddered as she thought how Class Ten A knew black magic. Mommy, she didn’t want to go there. She had to work together with Han Zixin at all costs.
“You know they have some black magic tricks to score full marks in exams,” Mona whispered next.
Demo slapped his chopsticks against the plate and said,” A normal person can’t study as much as they do. And it’s impossible to score full marks in all subjects. I believe Mona. Class Ten A is filled with evil sorcerers.”
“What should I do?”An Xiulan asked in fear. She didn’t want to go there. It was such a scary place.
“You and Han Zixin must work hard to stop those students from falling in puppy love, “Demo said in fear. Patting his chest in a loud manner, he said, “Xiaolan, don’t worry, we all will help you. Just tell us the name of the student who dared to fall in puppy love and we will break their legs and make them unable to fall in love ever again.”
“No violence, “The girls said immediately. Little did they know, the nightmare of all the teenagers in love was about to begin. The campus was going to be hell for childhood sweethearts. The real and most scary campaign against campus love was about to start in the entire Jingyuan High School.
