Chapter 272 - Tang Xinyang and Jang Shin
While Linfeng was dealing with his inner turmoil, Tang Xinyang\'s eyes lit up when she saw the two tall, attractive, and charismatic men waiting for them.
Tang Xinyang immediately ran forward but halted midway, her face flickering as she suddenly remembered something. She composed herself and began walking slowly like a refined and graceful young woman, according to Song Xuantin\'s advice. In other words, her own impression of a timid little girl.
She stopped in front of Jang Shin. Jang Shin simply glanced at the girl and continued scanning the sea of junior students moving through, trying to find the \'nightmare\' of his life who was said to attend the school trip as well.
Where was she hiding? How come he could not find that familiar tall and heroic figure unique to her?
"..."
Seeing that the person ignored him, Tang Xinyang closed her eyes for three seconds and encouraged herself that she could do it. She opened her eyes and tried to make her face look softer.
"Shin-gege," she called out to Jang Shin with a girly voice unlike her usual tough and unrestrained self.
Hearing his name, Jang Shin turned to look at her again. This time, he looked at her properly.
He saw a rather tall and pretty girl. She looked quite familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen her. Also, Jang Shin did not have the peace of mind to admire pretty girls right now. He was getting worried and a bit impatient because he still could not find the person he was looking for.
"Yes?" Jang Shin answered distractedly and continued looking for the girl who he thought would be wearing her usual tracksuit paired with a messy bun.
That scary girl could not have possibly got lost, could she?
The person he was looking for who was right in front of him: "..."
It was as if a whirlwind passed by and the courage she mustered in heart to act like a frigging sissy wimp was almost swept by it.
She was ignored again!
Her fa?ade almost broke. She calmed herself. Maybe Jang Shin simply did not recognize her. After all, whenever she dressed up before, her makeup artist always used heavy make up on her to make her appear more matured and sophisticated, to match her aggressive personality and her status as the future matriarch of the Tang family.
This was the first time that she wore light make up with a pure and girly theme.
...But then, with such light make-up that was barely applied on her face, how come he still could not recognize her almost bare face!
"Jang Shin," she called out for the second time. This time, she put more force on her voice to catch his attention.
"...!"
Jang Shin stilled and slowly looked back at her, his blank eyes finally falling on her face. After staring at her for a minute, his narrow eyes suddenly opened wide.
He staggered a couple of steps back as if he had seen a ghost. He looked at her up and down, from top to bottom. His mouth was agape.
"Xin... Xinyang?" His voice trembled with shock.
Seeing the obvious shock on his face, Tang Xinyang proudly nodded.
\'Hmph! Finally, you\'re looking at me.\' The courage in her heart swelled and rose up like the Mount Tai.
\'Naniiii?!\'
"W-what happened to you?" Jang Shin asked in horror.
That skirt! That blushing face! That weirdly girly vibe! And that \'Shin-gege\'!
What the hell!
The wild Young Miss became a totally different person! This was... This was too unscientific!
Jang Shin actually felt more scared right now. A different Young Miss was very scary! What was she planning? Was this a prelude to destruction?
Thankfully, Tang Xingyang did not know what he was thinking, or else it would truly become the prelude to destruction.
The ignorant Tang Xinyang tried to remember further details of Song Xuantin\'s advice.
She \'casually\' tucked her hair behind her ears. She smiled \'shyly\' without showing her teeth. She had practiced this bashful smile all the way here numerous times, with Judge Song Xuantin, and Deputy Judge Xiong Zhi evaluating her performance all throughout. Now was the time to use this sword that she had painstakingly sharpened!
She did all these actions flawlessly. The shadow of the rough tomboy Tang Xinyang was gone, instead, a pretty and feminine Tang Xinyang stood in front of Jang Shin.
"I thought about it for a long time. I realized that my previous self is a bit... manly." Tang Xinyang smiled deeper, "Now, I decided to be like a normal girl. Please take care of me." She bowed her head slightly. Her red skirt fluttered a bit, following her movements. Her silky long hair that was left flowing freely down her back, fluidly swept past her shoulders along with her bowed head.
"..." Jang Shin\'s mind turned blank.
Eh?
Was he hearing it right? Was he seeing it right? Was this really Tang Xinyang?
Jang Shin could not comprehend a single word that came out of this new and strange Tang Xinyang.
The obviously feminine girl looked up at him and blinked her eyes at him innocently. Then, she gave him a sweet, blooming smile.
"!!!" Jang Shin had goosebumps.
Omo. What she was up to?!
Jang Shin staggered and held Linfeng\'s arm. The presence of his cool and collected best friend made Jang Shin calm down a bit. Right, right, he should not be beaten in broad daylight. This must be a prank! Or maybe the Young Miss was scheming of something terrible against him.
No matter what his Young Miss was planning, as long as his friend Linfeng was here, he could still be saved.
"Shin-gege. You\'re holding the wrong arm," Tang Xinyang coquettishly complained to Jang Shin. She even offered her slender arm for Jang Shin to hold. Her bashful smile still remained on her face.
Jang Shin looked at those arms that had beaten him a million times as if he was seeing a serpent. He then looked at her sweetly smiling face, which he immediately translated as: \'If you don\'t move over here, you\'re f***king dead.\'
He trembled. She was threatening him!
Jang Shin, with a contorted face, inched closer and hooked his arm around Tang Xinyang\'s.
Tang Xinyang jumped and laughed victoriously inside her mind, her smile turning into a grin. It was successful! Jang Shin never held her arms like this before. Then, noticing her not so female-like grin, she erased it from her face and changed it back into the bashful one.
Tang Xinyang thought it would be very hard to act feminine. But not at all!
The only thing she needed to do was to smile shyly and walk slowly, while tucking her hair behind her ears from time to time. Ha! Easy~
It was not hard to do at all.
Alas, she failed to realize that the girl and boy roles when linking their arms was reversed.
Tang Xinyang was still proud of herself. She was feminine now! She looked at the man who was sweating for no reason.
And now, she was in possession of her man. How great it was!
Tang Xinyang directed a bashful smile again at Jang Shin.
Jang Shin looked away blankly, looking like a dead fish. He would rather wish she grin at her with her usual demonic laugh, instead of that creepy sweet smile that hid her ill intentions.
The students headed outside to gather around the teachers as they waited for their bus to arrive.
Jang Shin was dragged by Tang Xinyang like a pig about to be slaughtered. He looked on hopelessly, until he noticed that Linfeng was not with them. He looked back in confusion and saw his friend remain standing on the same spot behind in the distance.
\'Eh? Linfeng is not coming?\'
Because Jang Shin was distracted looking at Linfeng, he almost stepped on Tang Xinyang\'s foot.
"Hey, looked at where you—ahem, look at your steps, Shin-gege. Be careful," Tang Xinyang changed her sentence midway, to save herself from almost acting like her usual self.
Jang Shin cringed at her forcefully \'soft\' voice. He did not really know what his Young Miss was up to.
Soon after, the bus arrived and the students boarded the bus, while the teachers checked to ensure no one else was left behind.
Of course, they did not took notice of the senior student who remained inside the airport, as he was not included in the list of students who took the flight with the rest of the students.
The group finally left the airport, leaving behind the young man who stayed alone facing the sea of passengers coming down from the plane.
Linfeng stood there unmoving. He patiently waited for her.
Later, once she was here, he would make sure that those eyes of hers would only be looking at him today.
