When the Green Tea's Target is the Female Lead: Ch 19, School How did she get out of the bathroom in the end? Xia Lan Shan didn't know. There was never a moment when she felt that the time could pass that slow, and there was also never a moment when she looked forward to the passage of time like now. Because the bottom line she thought she was sticking to had already become precarious without knowing when. However, at least Xia Lan Shan's remaining rationality prevented her from agreeing to Shi Yin's request to take a bath together. Although after refusing, Xia Lan Shan felt an inexplicable melancholy in her heart. Shi Yin also washed her hair. So when she came out, her hair was still damp on her shoulders. The conditioner seemed to be newly bought from a blogger’s recommendation. It wasn’t the familiar smell like before, but had a faint green apple aroma, not strong but lingers quite a bit. After blow drying her hair for her, Xia Lan Shan felt this smell was still lingering on her body. Maybe it was too much stimulation today, or maybe it was because she felt that her behavior in the bathroom was too embarrassing, today Xia Lan Shan didn't need Shi Yin to urge her. She consciously packed up the thermos and left. Shi Yin also didn't retain her. After all, she had to digest it by herself, not to mention that she was not a sick patient in the first place and pretending all this time was pretty tiring. She could only move about normally after Xia Lan Shan left. The only thing that Shi Yin felt was a pity was that she couldn’t push too much with the character design of a little white rabbit. If Xia Lan Shan was the female lead in an urban city president novel, Shi Yin thinks she would be extremely interested in snatching the male lead's job to do it herself. After all, in president type webnovels, the progress always tends to be fast. The first time they meet could result in a bed scene. Unlike now, they can't meet each other honestly. Shi Yin actually felt that she was at a disadvantage. According to her historical logic, she always makes others be at a loss. When was there a time it was her turn to be a disadvantage? She took off her clothes, but Xia Lan Shan didn’t. No matter how she looked at it, she was at a loss, after all, she didn't get any benefits. It's a pity that this account probably won’t be returned, because Shi Yin has already made up her mind, this body must be a “dense girl'. That way she can just exit the scene when Xia Lan Shan confesses. Otherwise the longer the entanglement, the more she will be trading at a loss. Shi Yin didn’t forget that the payment for using this body had to be paid by herself. Xia Lan Shan didn't know the ending was already set. Her chaotic thoughts made it impossible for her to even think about simple questions. She felt her soul had gone out of her body. Although she was walking on the street, it seemed like she was separated from the world by a river that could not be crossed. Xia Lan Shan could clearly feel her body temperature had not dropped even now. Neither the hustle and bustle of civilized society nor the wind outside could wake her up. She didn't call a taxi. Instead, she just walked back like this. The hospital was not close to home, but just walking back like this, Xia Lan Shan didn't appear to feel tired. She only walked towards home mechanically, as if what controlled her body wasn't the soul, but an instinctive inertia remaining in her body. It wasn't until the sound of closing the door that she returned to reality from another dimension. Leaning against the door, she slowly slid to the ground against the door. She buried her head between her knees and tugged at her hair in a troubled yet irritable manner. A picture of water drops falling on skin seemed to appear in her mind. The crooked water beads slid across the beautiful butterfly bones before slowly sliding onto the waist, some flowed along the spine and in between… … Dong, dong, dong… … Xia Lan Shan slammed her head against the wall beside her, trying to stop the unrecallable images in her mind. Yet, no matter how strong this thought of hers were, these images were firmly nailed into her memory like nails and would pop out with her needing to recall them. She covered her face and let out a desperate groan. If she had held on to the tiny hope of repairing their relationship before, then Xia Lan Shan now believed that after today, Shi Yin and her would never be able to return to the past. Because as soon as she sees Shi Yin in the future, this image will inevitably pop up. Therefore, how can she face Shi Yin with a normal heart? Not to mention, these images were still constantly stimulating her greed, stimulating her possessiveness, constantly impacting her heart and tempting her to release the demon in her heart. Xia Lan Shan has never studied psychology, but she has a clear self-awareness. If she previously had been able to tearfully bless Shi Yin to find her true love, now she might not be able to control her malicious thoughts. What's more, did Shi Yin truly not notice her obvious abnormalities in the bathroom? Xia Lan Shan couldn't help thinking this way. While Shi Yin is a little dense about some things, she is actually a very observant and sensitive person. When she first found out that she was not used to sleeping with another person, she brought up sleeping separately. Knowing that she was reluctant to spend money, she would silently help her buy new clothes and then use reasons such as “bestie outfits” to keep her from feeling pressured. Even in her dormitory, which she has only been to once, she can sensitively feel out who doesn't like her. Thus, with the circumstances of her revealing obvious abnormalities, Xia Lan Shan didn't feel Shi Yin wouldn't notice at all. After all, who would get a nosebleed at someone of the same sex? Of course, there are indeed many girls nowadays who appreciate beautiful women more than handsome men, and may even be stupefied. But who would be as exaggerated as her? Although she calmed down and thought about it, it might be because she had ingested too much of the nourishing soup stewed for Shi Yin. However, no matter what, the nosebleed was a fact. Xia Lan Shan didn't even know whether Shi Yin's words to wash together were probing her or if she genuinely didn't notice anything. If that was a test, Xia Lan Shan felt her performance might have been terrible. Xia Lan Shan felt a sense of loss and fear facing the future. She didn't know who to turn to to confide in her heart, nor did she know what to do? Before tomorrow came, Xia Lan Shan thought she might be tormented haggard by all kinds of speculations in both her heart and mind. Just like this, she sat by the door until midnight before she stiffly got up from the floor. Maybe it's easier to think late at night or maybe it's the scent of green apples all over her body that Xia Lan Shan finally made up her mind after looking at everything in the house she arranged with Shi Yin and the hanging artistic photos of Shi Yin smiling like a flower. Anyhow, Shi Yin didn't have any opposite sex around her now, nor has she revealed her desire to get into a relationship. In this case, it's not something worthy of criticism for her to pursue Shi Yin with a single status. What's more, she didn't help Shi Yin take a bath with a normal heart, but looked at all this from the perspective of a secret crush. Since she saw everything, she should be responsible, right? Otherwise, isn't that just playing hooligans? Xia Lan Shan took a deep breath and made this decision. Although she didn't feel relaxed, she didn't seem to be weighted down, as if this decision was what she wanted in the first place. Maybe it indeed was. Everyone lives in a frame called 'reality', only a few people jump out voluntarily or involuntarily. Rationally speaking, Xia Lan Shan wants to live in this frame that is smooth and untroubled, because there will not be a lot of troubles this way. However, if she jumps out, it would be fine if she hid it. But if she doesn't hide it, there will be incomprehension from friends and teachers, baseless gossip and strange gazes from who knows whom. Xia Lan Shan doesn't like any of this. She actually enjoys the life of an “ordinary person”. Pity from her neighbors, she could accept because she knows it's out of good intentions. Yet, understanding or accepting doesn't mean she likes it. She hadn't liked gazes like that since she was a child. Clearly she grew up like an ordinary person, but was still placed in an unordinary position. Xia Lan Shan didn't know if she was someone who cares about other people's opinions, but she is indeed not an individualist. However, if her teacher and friends can't understand, she feels like she can understand and accept it like she did when she was a child, although this decision is selfish in itself. Whether Shi Yin accepts it or not, it will disrupt her originally peaceful life. Yet, Xia Lan Shan didn't want to just alienate Shi Yin like this nor could she act as if nothing happened. Instead of doing this, why not give it a try, maybe she will get what she wants? Even if not, for Shi Yin, it was just losing a friend, not a traumatic thing. After all, she was an adult and could take care of herself. Besides, although her parents were unreliable, they did not treat her as a transparent person. At the very least, they would send money to her every year and remember to call her during the holidays. So even without her, after a period of discomfort, she can still live a good life, right? She just doesn't know, at that time, will she feel that the 'Jie Jie' she once recognized was disgusting… … Rubbing her face, Xia Lan Shan refrained herself from thinking pessimistically. After all, Shi Yin was not homophobic. Although she didn't delve much into the information Shi Yin usually browsed on the Internet, Xia Lan Shan at least remembered that Shi Yin read a mixed taste of books with all sorts of sexuality. When she chases celebrities, she doesn’t just chase men but also women. Even several actors and singers that she has liked for a long time, it seems there were more females than males. Including those weird clips forcibly putting any two people in a CP, there seems to be no shortage of girl loves. Although this does not represent Shi Yin's sexuality, it at least proves that Shi Yin does not shun these things. Xia Lan Shan rein back her thoughts as she turned around to take a cold shower before going to bed, trying to dilute her complicated thoughts. It's just that Xia Lan Shan has no standard for toiletries, so she usually uses whatever Shi Yin uses. As such, smelling the familiar smell while lying on the bed, Xia Lan Shan's thoughts inevitably drifted to Shi Yin, which evoked the bathroom scene and then… … Xia Lan Shan abruptly opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. She thought for a while before turning on her phone and clicking on a recorded lecture by her instructor, trying to immerse herself in the ocean of knowledge. Only this always successful remedy seems to be ineffective this time. Those magical formulas and theorems, combined and fused into a human shape. The temple of knowledge also collapsed astoundingly quickly to become a place of “lakes of wine and forests of meat”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes: “lakes of wine and forests of meat” (酒肉池林): a Chinese idiom used to describe a life of corruption/debauchery and extreme luxury. It is said to originate from an Emperor named Yin Zhou, who built a pond of wine by the dunes and hung various types of meat along its shores, which appeared like a meat forest along with letting people run around n@ked there
