Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - High school art

In those grave circumstances, Nuan Nuan can only put herself at stake, replying with a shout, "What are you doing father! It's me! Your most excellent and your pride daughter!"

In short span of time, the unrecognizable Chen Xi suddenly put an immediate stop to what he was doing. "Oh, it's you", he steadily replied with a calm and audible tone before he gone away. Surprisingly, he lowkey loosen up at the moment.

The other night again, a sudden very soft voice would calling out for her, and as she glanced at the door, a pair of eyes were pointed out, peeking through the slit that were made. Thankfully, she would lied down a heavy object on her door before she move far away from that door, and the person will undoubtedly let out a sound if he was to open the door.

"My daughter", the soft voice was relentlessly calling out for her, as if, it want to lure her out with care. The point was, there's no response from her daughter. He's getting angry. His voice changing to a very high-pitched hoarse sound, ones that would made people's blood run cold. He clearly representing a demon that sniff on their prey scent behind the slitted door.

Despite all that, Nuan Nuan truthfully was scared. Utterly scared. The only thing that her body can do as of now was curled in her own embrace, putting her utmost faith on her pray; that she will be alright till the dawn arrived.

Not passed even three months, Li Anna at long last couldn't hold any longer, thus, she ran away again, but this time, Nuan Nuan was tightly hanging onto her, refusing to be let as the older time. It was unfortunate that Li Anna would slumbered into a heavy depression, completely unable to differentiate things. The only things she do was working, working and keep working despite her current unstable situation, without any glance to her daughter, Nuan Nuan. In the end, the emotional distance between them, create a whole new kind of her, which was rigid. Looking like an empty, living doll.

Time continue tickling and at long last, she chose to transfer and live in an art high school dorm.

That was the starting point of her life, The so-called doll; Chen Nuan Nuan.

Have you ever experienced a total excludement in your life? A phase where you no longer long for something nor a bond. What pass may passed, what come may come. Time and things keep circling around, yet, you no longer attached to it. 'Right now, the most important things was....my peace. I..was born to be free!', was what keep you living, was what become the reason of your existence. And that's what happened to Nuan Nuan as of the moment, hopelessly hanging on a single thread of life, cause it was a sin, to have your life ended in your own hands.

A whole new surroundings, enhanced by students with diverse styles. What called as art, undoubtedly will be different for sure. Be it for the school self styles or the decoration of the school itself, everything was enough to bring a pair of wide-eyed in awe.

Along with the pathway, followed by the lake which slowly flows alongside, a green-ish leaves keep falling out of branch, fluttering as the winds blows before it landed onto the earthy road. Nuan Nuan was walking by it with many students which also passed by, marking the beginning of the new year for school. Just like her usual self, she wore an earphone on her ears and with the casual flipping towards each pages of books on her hands. A large bag was clinging onto her shoulders, ready to get into the school's dorm. In spite of that, she absent-mindedly walked along the road, as if she has been through a motion for quite a long time. Her focus were utterly putted on the music replaying and the story of the book she read.

[ Class 3-1 ] : Year two, class one ( total of four years and each year has three section of classes; for normal lesson )

Arriving at class, with a tired body,she walked through the empty room, and gradually rested herself onto the empty chair, and her head to the desk. Before long,she finally slumbered into a deep sleep, so soundly at that.

Not long after,the world conventionally would let out a harmonious surrounding, which made Nuan Nuan even with songs ringing on her ears, would awaken by such a reminder for sure. Classes will start shortly after.

Hence, with eyes that still fluttering on it heaviness, and mind that still not fully functioning, Nuan Nuan rubs her eyes lazily, trying to adjust her sight on the surrounding. Gradually after, she heaved her body up and made her ways to the toilet to freshen up with a splashing on her face.

Then, her thought reminded her, 'Today is an usual day, however, I must endure until it reached the end of the day.'

That being said....today...was rather unusual. Despite the fact that she would encountered somehow a familiar senior, yet she couldn't bring herself to recognize him. Nonetheless, it seems rather different from the other side, though he simply uttered an apology towards her before continuing his friendly talk towards the unknown others, happily glued to each other by hands on each shoulders.

It was when Nuan Nuan walked through that both of the seniors stopped in place and turned their face to her side. "Who's her?", demanded the others. He was called ( 范明旭 )Fan Mingxu and the ones that bumped into Nuan Nuan was called ( 欣宇泽 )Xin Yuze.

Upon hearing that, Xin Yuze slightly slapped the back of his head. Fan Mingxu stuck in a completely baffled expression, saying, "Why would you slap my head?".

Xin Yuze without the real intention replied, "That's your sister in-law to be. Shouldn't I slapped you?".

Hearing such a response, Fan Mingxu eyes widened in surprise. "Have you finally lost your mind?."

Despite the continues inquiry of interest from Fan Minxu, Xin Yuze however keep avoiding the question. Along with that, he just twisted the topic to the earlier ones, which was their current competition for art canvassing; Ones that would figure their current assessment. Thankfully, Fan Mingxu was not smart enough to comprehend his intention, thus, he just blindly led into the topic once again, and with a dumb smile at that.

While on the other side, Nuan Nuan was already seated on her place, peculiarly focusing on the class, unlike her usual self that she would rather sleep her brain off than listening to a whole new chapter of complicated explanation of the class' lesson. Nonetheless, the other found her quite annoying, truly nauseating her sight. Her name was ( 华依依 )Hua Yiyi, well-known as the school's candy; a person so sweet that she would always caught many attention due to her sweet and lovely personality and looks. What she hates the most were Nuan Nuan simple looks, totally didn't take more care about her appearance, and yet, that doll-like appearance effortlessly managed to shift away some of the attention which originally was hers.

As a result, she can only looked at her with a dark, hateful gaze. Nuan Nuan's appearance inside the class utterly become her number one nemesis. She loathe for her, who at a certain time, being the center of attention despite how cold she was. Other than that, she would always slippped a time to silently criticize her, for example; being nice to her, and yet, badmouthing her at the back, saying that she's totally not amusing and quite a boring person. Nuan Nuan hadn't yet to know. By the time she knows, who could possibly predict how she would react about it?
