Modern Cinderella

The Birthday Fairytale [6]

Jin Ming Xian kept quiet still….as though he was back to the lonely nights again…

“We are already friends, aren’t we? So I will help you. Even I have to come here every night and sing a song to you, it’s fine!” She looked at Jin Ming Xian’s side silhouette of his face.

Jin Ming Xian turned his head around and caught Moya’s bright eyes coincidentally. The gaze was brighter than the whole sky of stars…

Moya avoided Jin Ming Xian’s gaze. It made her nervous when she looked at Jin Ming Xian…She looked at her watch….”It’s really late, how about I sing a song to let you rest.”

“No need.” Jin Ming Xian automatically refused without thinking it through.

“But…Senior Jun…” Moya was afraid that Hao Jun You would have called You Mei and asked her.

“Stay.” Jin Ming Xian pulled on her hand. “Don’t go back tonight.”

The ancient fairytale…The mysterious legend…The need to look after the most important thing until daylight on their birthday…

“Ah?! How can that work!” Moya pulled her hand out. Even if she was fearless, she wouldn’t dare to stay out all night long!

Jin Ming Xian lowered his head and stared at this empty hand…His heart felt empty too…

“Why?” Jin Ming Xian’s voice was unusually cold. “Who is Hao Jun You to you?”

“Senior ah.” Moya didn’t seem to have noticed the change in the tone of his voice.

“Senior….” Jin Ming Xian revealed a smile of disdain. “You are living in a Senior’s house.”

“What?” Moya scrunched her eyebrows.

“Are you afraid that he will be worried? Or are you afraid that he will misunderstand you and be angry?!” Jin Ming Xian’s voice was filled with mockery. “I said it before. If you need, I will let you go.”

“No!” Moya glared at Jin Ming Xian. Next, she calmed her feelings down. Today was his birthday….”At worst, I’ll tease you for fun.”

Shi Lin worriedly rubbed her fingers…She had never heard Hao Jun You spoke in that tone…

“Sorry.” She timidly looked at the expressionless Hao Jun You. Jun You probably would hate her for this.

“It’s fine.” A faint smile appeared back on Hao Jun You’s face even though it had a feeling of alienation…

“Haha…the phone is here!” Moya’s strange voice rang again. Hao Jun You stood up and walked over to the phone…

: Hey, Senior Jun You? I am Moya!

: Where are you?

: I am at… You Mei’s house. Uh, I’m not going to come back today. I’m going to stay at You Mei’s.

: …..

: What happened? Senior Jun You, are you still listening?

: I am listening. Can you let You Mei pick up the phone?

: Ah?! This…

: ….There is no problem…If she can’t pick up, it’s fine…

: Okay, then leave it be now. I’m going to hang up! See you at the school tomorrow. I will think of you!

DuDu… On the other side, Moya nimbly hanged up…

“Jun You?” Shi Lin stood up. She was scared by the way Hao Jun You had held the phone.

“It’s fine.” Hao Jun You’s face was pale white. He held the blue crystal bottle in his hand…
