Birth of a Beauty

Chapter 115: Why are they gawking at me like that?

-Next Morning-

Shanghai High School:

“Xiao Seulbi, Are you really okay? You should’ve taken few days off to recover.” Li Cheng said,

Worried.

“It’s okay. School Festival is coming soon. It will trouble everyone if the leader herself is absent. You

must be busy. I think you should go.” Li Seulbi replied.

“Aye, my daughter is the leader? Why didn’t you tell-” Li Cheng stopped midway. Clearing his throat,

He placed his hand on her head.

Patting affectionately, He spoke “Seulbi, Father is really proud of you. Do your best. But don’t

overstrain yourself.”

“Seulbi, I was so shocked when I saw you yesterday like that. When Mom told me what happened, I

was shaken up. I don’t care about my work; I shall pick and drop you off daily.”

Li Seulbi was a little taken aback by the sudden affection which she wasn’t used to. She used to crave

for that affection when she was small. Now, that she was eventually getting what she initially wanted,

why wasn’t she happy? She thought.

“Biggy Sis?” A soft voice rang out from behind them.

They turned around to see Xi Mei staring at Li Seulbi.

Sprinting towards Li Seulbi, Xi Mei grabbed her face. Starting from her face, she looked around every

wound she had.

Heaving a sigh of relief at the end, she spoke “Thank god the swelling in your face has subsided. Still,

you should have taken rest for few days. I could take notes for you.”

“Don’t worry. I am fine.” Li Seulbi smiled as she answered.

Seeing that, Li Cheng was stunned for a while before he turned to Xi Mei and asked “You must be

Seulbi’s friend?”

Xi Mei who was complete oblivious about his presence, tilted her head in confusion “Who are..you?”

Li Seulbi spoke this time “Meimei, He is my father. He came to drop me off.”

“Oh.. Oh? Father? I mean Hello, I am Xi Mei, Li Seulbi’s classmate.” Xi Mei bowed, greeting him.

“Hello, it’s nice to meet Seulbi’s friend. Since she is injured, I request you to take care of her.” Li Cheng

requested.

“Father” Li Seulbi muttered.

“N-No, You don’t have to say. I will take good care of her. Please, don’t worry.” Xi Mei uttered.

Patting Li Seulbi’s head once again,” Then, I will get going. I will come to pick you up. Wait for me.”

After biding goodbye with Xi Mei, he left.

“You have a great father, Biggy Sis.” Xi Mei cheered.

“You think so. Let’s go before bell rings.” Li Seulbi stated.

Xi Mei nodded her head but as soon as they took next step, they heard a fuming shout “Hey!”

Turning around, they saw Mo Xung standing with the help of crutches.

“How can you leave me just like that?” Mo Xung berated.

Xi Mei clicked her tongue as she apologized “Oops, Sorry. When I saw Seulbi, I forgot about you. Let This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

me help you.”

She ran up to him and stayed by his side.

“Humph!”

They began to walk. Xi Mei dragged Li Seulbi along with them.

“Sis Yun, Who are we waiting for?” Lanlan inquired, tired standing for a long time.

“Hey, Use your brain for once. Sis Yun is waiting for Bro San. After losing in the match, He must be

disheartened. Sis Yun is going to put ointment on his wounds.” Wanwan spoke with great enthusiasm.

“Wounds? Is Bro San injured?” Lanlan asked.

Wanwan and Shi Yun were too tired to explain to her.

“But he didn’t look like he was. He seemed quite relaxed on the other hand.” Lanlan’s words made both

of them flinch in surprise.

“What did you say?” This time Shi Yun questioned.

“You saw him?” Wanwan asked.

“Yeah, when I was going to restroom earlier I saw him. But why are we waiting- Oh! Sh*t. I am so sorry,

Sis Yun. I didn’t do it purposely.” Realizing she messed up, Lanlan hastily stated before running away.

“Sis Yun, Don’t mind that dumb head. Let’s go to class. He must be there.”

As soon as they left, the trio walked through that path.

“Haven’t they seen handsome boy like me before? Why are they gawking at me like that?” Mo Xung

scoffed realizing students staring at them as they pass by.

Xi Mei said, “I am glad you are recovering fast. If you won’t cause trouble for few days, you won’t need

these crutches as well.”

“What do you mean? Am I a troublemaker for you?” He remarked frantically.

“Hehe” Seeing him flushing red in frustration, Xi Mei chuckled.

“Isn’t he cute, Biggy Sis?” Xi Mei asked, peering at Li Seulbi who was walking by her side.

“Huh?” Li Seulbi who was dazedly walking occupied by her thoughts didn’t hear what Xi Mei said.

“Are you fine? Is something troubling you?” Xi Mei probed.

“N-No. You don’t have to worry. It’s just many things happened lately. I was just thinking.” Li Seulbi

replied, lowering her head.

Xi Mei wanted to comfort her but no words escaped her mouth.

“Here, we are. Hey, I want to make a grand entry. So, you two go inside. I will come after a while.” Mo

Xung muttered softly.

“Do you really have to do that? Can’t we all walk in casually?” Xi Mei gave him a confused look.

“Do as I say. You don’t know its boys thing.”

“Let’s not mind him, Seulbi. Let’s go. I need to tell you something about the school festival.” said Xi Mei

taking Li Seulbi inside the class.

Mo Xung loosened his tie, ruffled his hair before mumbling “Okay, Mo Xung. Time for the grand

entrance, stay cool as usual. Here we go-”

“Hey!”

Startled by the sudden shout from behind, Mo Xung lost his balance..

*Bam*
