When the Green Tea's Target is the Female Lead: Ch 14, School The plane quickly arrived at the destination. A few hours of journey didn’t make most young people feel tired. They were still talking and laughing, while Xia Lan Shan was taciturn. However, she was usually very quiet, so no one noticed she wasn’t in a good mood. For the first time, Xia Lan Shan experienced what it means to long to return home. Reason told her that it was right to do this, because it was her one-sided feeling to begin with. To suppress this emotion in time would only benefit and not harm anyone. Yet, reason was just reason, the heart doesn’t always obey. However, the only thing that can control a person's feelings is only reason. Although this kind of reason does not make oneself comfortable and makes one even more uncomfortable, at least the other party will not feel uncomfortable. Whereas this, in fact, was enough and was also the reason why a person would choose a rational approach. Xia Lan Shan didn't feel she was that mature, but she could tell the difference between good and bad. Therefore, although she was not in a good mood, she didn't plan to take any action for it. Pulling her suitcase, she followed the group. She didn't look around, completely missing the freshness and curiosity towards a new country. So much so that Shi Yin’s original plan of wanting to create a pass by in the crowd fell through. Though this is not a problem for Shi Yin. Shi Yin didn't grab her luggage. Before she came, she had the system book the hotel room. As a 'VIP guest', she just let the people in the hotel pick up her suitcase. Thus, compared to the slow pace of Xia Lan Shan's group, it was easy for Shi Yin to get ahead of them. Initially, Shi Yin intended to suddenly appear in Xia Lan Shan's line of sight while Xia Lan Shan was looking around. After all, the school group had to check their surroundings to see who was coming to pick them up. According to Shi Yin's understanding of Xia Lan Shan, she will definitely take the initiative to be that person. Maybe it's because Xia Lan Shan has been a class monitor since she was a child that Xia Lan Shan was extremely used to taking the initiative of taking responsibility within a group setting. Therefore, in this case, Xia Lan Shan should be taking the initiative to look around. Who knew she didn't do that this time, making Shi Yin feel a little depressed and had to run in front of them. Then she slowed down, pretending to be an ordinary tourist and slowly walking along the flow of people. As the saying goes, all coincidences are carefully designed. After Shi Yin stopped in place several times, Xia Lan Shan finally caught a familiar figure amidst the crowd. Xia Lan Shan froze for a moment. When she took another careful scan, the person had already disappeared. Xia Lan Shan couldn't help but smile wryly. She felt she was truly possessed, why did she think Shi Yin was here? It's just someone wearing similar clothes. Shi Yin is not the only one who can wear this kind of warm yellow-type of clothes. Just passing by the truth like this, Xia Lan Shan didn't have the thought that Shi Yin would come with her, except that her mood got worse as she got into the car prepared by the organizer. Xia Lan Shan chose to sit by the window, leaving most of the space for the senior and junior sisters, who were still a little excited, while she looked sideways out of the window. There was no scenery worth admiring outside with many cars passing by very fast. Xia Lan Shan was about to glance away when suddenly on the sidewalk, she saw the figure haunting her mind. This time, even revealing a side profile. However, the car won’t stop because of this. Xia Lan Shan wanted to confirm if she saw it wrong and subconsciously looked out the window, but was stopped by the senior sister beside her: "Lan Shan, what are you doing? That's very dangerous." Xia Lan Shan smiled apologetically: "I seem to have seen an acquaintance just now." The senior sister advised: "Just ask on your phone. If you didn't see it wrong, you guys can get together again when it’s free time." Xia Lan Shan nodded, but didn’t turn on her phone. After all, how was it possible? On the other side, Shi Yin was heartlessly eating ice cream while watching Xia Lan Shan's reaction through the system’s broadcast. Afterwards, she took out her phone and sent a message, asking her if she got off the plane. With the system’s existence, even if Xia Lan Shan became suspicious and went to check her IP address, she would find her IP was indeed inside the country. Inside the car, Xia Lan Shan was a little distracted when she saw the message. Although it was certain that the person she saw just now must not be Shi Yin, she still had some delusions in her heart. However, now Shi Yin's greeting completely brought her back to reality. As for the person she saw just now, it probably was someone who appeared similar. After all, there’s always some similarities between good-looking people. What's more, in reality, aren’t there plenty of normal people who are celebrities look-alike? There are so many people in the world, there’s bound to be some people that look similar. She bowed her head and responded honestly to Shi Yin. Shi Yin replied with a cat emoji, expressing she won’t bother her. Immediately afterwards, she set the matter aside as she vacationed using “work fees.” Besides, if one encounters too many coincidences in a day, you will become numb to it. Therefore, she has to do it step by step. Moreover, the surrounding skin color was all different. If she stood out too much, then it would be all over. With this in mind, Shi Yin began to wander around the city with peace of mind. When she was just about done playing, she squatted not far from Xia Lan Shan's hotel and strolled. When Xia Lan Shan opened the window and looked over, she subconsciously took out her phone. She was familiar with Shi Yin's every move, her walking posture, height and weight. There may be similar people in this world, but there will never be anyone with even the same walking posture. Although this was absurd, Xia Lan Shan couldn't help wanting to verify this absurd idea. After hesitating for a while, Xia Lan Shan resolutely pressed to video call. It took a while for the call to be connected. The other party seemed to be playing a game and was wearing headphones with its pink cable dangling. "Jie Jie, what's the matter?" Hearing the clacking sound of a keyboard, it seemed the game was at a critical moment. Xia Lan Shan subconsciously glanced out the window. The other party was looking around while looking at the phone, seemingly to be a tourist who didn't know the way, though the face she revealed was very familiar. Xia Lan Shan squeezed the phone tightly: "Did I bother you playing your games?" "No ah, how are games more important than Jie Jie?" she said, but her hands didn't stop. It appears she set the phone in front of the computer. As such, she couldn't see her face, only her chin and the beautiful collar bone exposed on the baggy pajamas. This view was dazzling under the light, while the background was a bedroom that Xia Lan Shan was quite familiar with. Xia Lan Shan looked at the figure under the window and was silent for a while before saying: "Don't play for too long, rest early, I'll hang up first." Shi Yin: "En en, I'll log off after I'm done with this one. Good night ~." She agreed readily, but she couldn't spare her hands to hang up the phone at all. Xia Lan Shan hung up the phone with her head down as she called her senior sister over with a serious face: "Senior Sister, is there a lost Chinese girl over there?" The senior sister, who was called to look at the few foreigners outside with a puzzled face: "Huh?" She looked at the sun that hadn't set yet, then at the serious-face Xia Lan Shan and couldn't help shivering: "Don't scare me, aren't those foreigners down there? It's not even dark yet!" Sure enough… … Xia Lan Shan's heart sank, though she forced a smile at her senior sister: "I was just joking." Senior Sister: "... …." You don't look like you're joking with that expression. Yet, Xia Lan Shan already couldn’t be bothered what her senior sister would think anymore. She only felt her head had started to hurt. Hysteria? Xia Lan Shan didn't know how to describe her current mood. Although she felt it was absurd for her to have some kind of affection for Shi Yin that transcended friendship and thought she was crazy enough for that, she didn't expect she was truly crazy now? ! Xia Lan Shan always thought she was quite the rational person, but now she felt that she was actually very irrational. The hallucinations downstairs were the evidence. She took a deep breath before taking out her phone and began to check if there were any famous therapists around. Shi Yin watched the broadcast while carelessly swinging her legs around. In fact, if the system didn't have the teleportation function, Shi Yin could directly mess around with her when she was asleep and absent-minded. Unfortunately, the system couldn't do things that were too unrealistic. So the scene Xia Lan Shan saw downstairs was actually a projection that Shi Yin walked through in advance which was then recorded by the system. However, the future technology, from the point of view of this current time, was indeed no different from the real one. She lamented “how pitiful” without much emotion and then immediately started playing video games through the domestic network connected to the system. As for the background behind her... … it was just a projection screen. If Xia Lan Shan looked carefully, she would find the headphones models were different. Then again, Xia Lan Shan didn't pay much attention to her playing games, so naturally she wouldn’t know about it. Whereas Xia Lan Shan was almost crippled by her trickery. She knew she liked Shi Yin, but she thought it was just liking. Once some time passes, the throbbing feeling will disappear and everything could also return to normal. After all, the shelf life of love is not long. Two people being in love was just because of the dopamine secreted by the human body, but now Xia Lan Shan had self-doubts. Could it be that she was even lying to herself? She actually loves Shi Yin so much that she can't extricate herself? Otherwise, how could you miss someone to the point of having hallucinations? And just how long have they been apart? Xia Lan Shan examined her heart. It can be said she was extremely helpless. She thought about the possibility that she couldn't let it go. But if she couldn't let it go, she could just not let it go. She’ll just hide her feelings. However, now hallucination was happening. What would happen if the condition got worse? Hallucinating Shi Yin also likes her? At that time, what if she can’t distinguish between reality and illusion and actually did something to Shi Yin? Xia Lan Shan tugged her hair, feeling a little distressed. The hallucinations only affect her, which is fine, but she was afraid that if the hallucinations get worse in the future, things would be horrible. Xia Lan Shan quickly used her phone to make an appointment with a doctor and decided it would be better if she stayed abroad or went to school until she recovered from her illness. No matter what, she just couldn't return home. She originally thought everything would get better after going abroad, but she didn't expect it would get worse instead. Yet, this too was all caused by herself. This was simply too dreadful. Xia Lan Shan even felt she was a criminal on reserve. After all, doing anything as mentally ill couldn’t be a crime. If truly one day her emotions overwhelmed her reason, now even she was not sure what she might do? Xia Lan Shan used to think she was a normal person at any rate, and that falling in love with Shi Yin was just an accident. But now, she feels maybe her mental state was not normal to begin with. It's just that the love between Grandma and her was mutual before. However, when it comes to Shi Yin, both of their feelings weren’t equal; one was love and the other was friendship. The unrequited feeling then was enough to stimulate the unstable genes hidden in her. Analyzing herself like this, Xia Lan Shan actually felt her line of thinking was extremely reasonable.
