Chapter 53: Feng Ru (12)
Chapter 53: Feng Ru (12)
'Don't ever contact me. We're done.'
Na Yu gathered all her strength and courage just to send that single line of text to that ex of her. After doing this, she deleted all his contacts, pictures, and blocked him on her social media accounts.
As a brokenhearted girl, it was not actually that easy for her to do this. All this while, since the wounds and emotions were still fresh, there was a part of her wishing for that man to go back to her and beg for her to give him another chance. But she knew it was sheer stupidity to hope for this. She was in love with him. But she had to move on, and treasure her newly gained life.
'If only that's easier said than done...'
As she repeatedly tapped the 'block this person' option on her screen, she reminisced what that meddlesome but handsome guy 'blackmailed' her to do as their new manager.
"Alright. I'm glad you know what you should answer to my proposal. Since you're going to be our colleague. Your first tasks are..."
What followed was a long list of stuff that she would not have been able to remember were it not for her good memory. Even so, the sourness that crossed her face was very intense due to the number of works to be done. It all seemed more like the homework and projects that cruel and bitchy professor would give her class in her fits of unreasonableness.
Types of rock bands. Popular bands and singers today and their styles. Band members info, especially habits and strengths. Managerial lessons. Promotion works. How ads work... Etc.
So many... and time-consuming!
'Ugh... Why am I so afraid for people to know that I actually voluntarily went up there to end my life? If not for that, I won't be this troubled!'
She took a deep breath. Her brows were furrowed as her eyes scanned the information she needed to learn on how to be a good manager and agent. Her lips curled into a half-mocking, half-admiring smile. For some reason, that person whom she just met was so confident that this upcoming band of theirs would become a rising star. Just why? She wondered.
When she remembered him saying "So here's the case. Since we're all going professional, the last task I will be requiring you is to delete everything that will interfere with your work. I think those that will remind you of why you tried to jump off a seven-story building must be removed from your life. You don't need me to enumerate all of those, do you?"
His gaze that told her there would be dire consequences for not complying made her quite dumbfounded. As if there was magic at work, that time she just found herself nodding repeatedly, the rosiness of her cheeks and the luster of her eyes nowhere on sight.
'I was probably out of mind. One of the effects of the shock and the tiredness I'm feeling since that day...'
"Na Yu! Waaaaah! My dear Na Yu! Is this for real?!!!" Without greeting her, a short-haired female friend of her rushed to her seat at the library and shoved a phone to her eyes. The stares they received made her a bit on the edge.
These past few days, great discomfort would consume her whenever there were many people looking at her. The tinge of pity in their eyes was piercing her skin.
With an awkward smile, the girl read the text displayed on the screen. She forced a laugh, "What's wrong with this post? Is there any typo error?"
"Na Yu!"
"Quiet! This is a sacred place for learning!" It was the stern-looking bespectacled lady librarian who shouted at her friend.
"Tone down your voice so we don't interrupt others, Nangong Xue." She kindly advised while gesturing the seat opposite hers.
The cute short-haired girl pulled the chair and sat down there. Of course, not without rolling her eyes and grumbling a complaint against the librarian.
"Alright. I'm now calm. So what I would like to know from our department's beauty is whether those hunkies from the Music and Performing Arts Dept are really planning to have you as their manager. Is this for real? As in, you'll be with them most of the time, hanging out with them and being surrounded by their wonderful handsomeness?"
Thank the heavens, she was not drinking anything...
"They are popular on the campus... Huh." Na Yu muttered to herself, not intimidated by the wolfish glow from the other's girl's black orbs.
"Of course, they are. Though in actuality, most from that course, especially the performing arts students are good-looking. The boys and girls there are dream girls and boys of the other departments, do you know that?" The girl paused for a couple of seconds to laugh. "However, it's different for this group, even if they don't want to, because of that He Chen, they won't have a choice but become campus celebrities! Hahaha!"
Na Yu felt helpless seeing the sharp glare from the librarian.
"Let's get out of here. Since you're more like the announcer of a sports event or a radio DJ, it would be hard not to pull aggro on Miss Cheng." The name mentioned referred to the only eyeglasses-wearing middle-aged lady in the place.
While walking down the stairs leading to the ground floor of the Accountancy Course Building, the pretty long-haired girl said, "By the way, before I forgot, I don't know if you mean that in a good way or not."
Nangong Xue giggled, "Of course in a good way!" Only this woman knows what good way she was referring to. "Anyway, what's important is that I'm your best friend and you're going to be close to them. Do you have anything planned with them? Our next class is still two hours away. I can go with you and be their moral support!"
While everyone else was in the dark about the extent of her emotional struggles, only Nangong Xue remained by her side and continued caring, acting like nothing was wrong and that she was still normal, not severely depressed.
For Na Yu, that was quite a lot of a help. This was the reason why she didn't have the heart to reject this indirect request. However, the problem was nothing was planned today. Heck, apart from He Chen, she didn't know anyone from that boy group!
Just when she was thinking of how to reply to the question, Na Yu's phone rang. Habitually, she reached out to the front pocket of her sling bag and picked up her phone there. It didn't take long for her face to freeze and then a sigh to escape from her lips. "Xue, I think we can drop by their music room today."
"Really!?" The sparkles in the woman's eyes were so blinding.
"Yeah. Sorry, I won't be talking while on the way there. I'll be binge-reading wikis and manuals."
There was helplessness mixed in her tone. To be honest, she didn't really want to do anything, or more like, she didn't have the drive. Jiang Li's proposal was merely adding to her stress.
She frustratedly told herself, 'That guy's degree of brokenheartedness is surely not as severe as mine. Otherwise, how wouldn't he understand what I'm going through right now? Or is this He Chen's way of coping up with his own heartaches? Bringing someone suffering greater pain than him next to him so he can immediately get better?'
'So insidious!'
Her phone in hand, she began looking through her phone with a tired face on.
