Ye Ling hadn’t been very attentive during the morning classes, spending most of her time lost in thought. Because after class, she was going to the gardening club. The previous week’s classes had been somewhat heavy, and today, she was finally going. — Loudly telling Yue Zijun that she was not some “fairy lady”. — Loudly telling Yue Zijun that her name was Ye Ling! After enduring the class time, Ye Ling had a good lunch before setting out. On the way, she felt her feet were light and airy, as if her entire body was about to float away… Entering the gardening club’s greenhouse, Yue Zijun had not yet arrived, which made Ye Ling breathe a sigh of relief. Reaching up to adjust the hair clip holding her bangs, Ye Ling gradually calmed down and, as usual, picked up the watering can to water the flowers and plants. An entire holiday without tending to these flowers and plants, although school teachers would occasionally help take care of them, some flowers and plants couldn’t wait for Ye Ling to return to school and had withered away. Ye Ling picked up the scissors and carefully trimmed the withered parts, meticulously “renovating” the flowers and plants. “Long time no see! Good afternoon… fairy lady.” After who knows how long, Ye Ling, too focused, had no idea when Yue Zijun had arrived and was startled by his sudden greeting, causing her hand to tremble and the scissors to cut her left index finger. No… this wasn’t supposed to be like this! This situation was completely different from what she had imagined! Ye Ling, with tears in her eyes, held her injured left hand with her right hand. “Fairy lady? What’s wrong?” Usually, the fairy lady would give a slight nod… Today, the fairy lady standing motionless with her back turned was something he had never seen before. Yue Zijun put down the book in his hand and quickly walked to her back. “I… I’m fine.” Strange, she used to be able to speak to classmates without stuttering, so why had she reverted to her previous hesitant self… Ye Ling grew nervous, her eyes becoming even more watery. “You…” This was the first time he had heard the fairy lady’s voice, and Yue Zijun felt this clean tone was rare, like the feather of a small bird gently brushing across his heart. Yue Zijun hesitated, reaching out to touch Ye Ling’s shoulder, and Ye Ling seemed to tremble slightly, turning around. Then, his hand froze in mid-air, and he was somewhat stunned… The girl before him had clear eyes tinted with a beautiful water-like color, gently biting her lower lip, seemingly frightened… yet incredibly endearing. Yue Zijun used the back of his hand to cover half his face… usually it was the fairy lady covering her face, but now he wanted to cover his own face… because he felt his face was, red! Yue Zijun had been outgoing since childhood, good at chatting with girls, a healthy and sunny boy… all these years, he could proudly pat his chest and say: “I’ve never blushed!” But today, he made an exception… though the girl before him hadn’t done anything, he still blushed. This feeling of blushing and racing heart… cough, could it be… “Your hand…” Yue Zijun calmed himself, and when he looked at Ye Ling again, his gaze quickly noticed the red on her index finger. “It’s okay.” Ye Ling didn’t deliberately hold up her hand; after turning around, she had let her hand hang by her side… but he still noticed, and this made her very happy. “Oh!” He took out a band-aid from his pocket, just an ordinary one, but with a strange pattern drawn in black water-based pen on the back. “… Thank you, this…” Ye Ling lowered her head, taking the band-aid he offered, and softly said thanks. However, the pattern on the band-aid made her very curious. “Cough… this… is a blessing.” He seemed to blush again. The pattern was from a “Monster Illustrated Guide” he had seen, a spell-like diagram that could accelerate wound healing. This “chuunibyou” thing, he originally didn’t want to take out, but since it was the fairy lady, he… blinked and took it out. “A blessing? Thank… thank you, I’ll treasure it!” Ye Ling’s reaction was completely different from what he imagined. She looked excitedly at the pattern, and when she looked at him, her eyes even held a hint of admiration. “No need to treasure… fairy lady, please apply it quickly…” Talking about treasuring something… Yue Zijun lowered his eyes… Damn, he was about to blush again! “No… not fairy lady.” Hearing him call her “fairy lady” again, Ye Ling seemed to make a decision, clenching her fist and mustering her courage. “What?” Yue Zijun felt that at this moment, both his mental state and everything else were very unstable… the fairy lady speaking so close, and he couldn’t even hear her clearly! “I…” Ye Ling’s fist clenched tighter. Wasn’t she always waiting for this moment? And now, Yue Zijun was right in front of her! Ye Ling suddenly closed her eyes and shouted loudly: “Not fairy lady, my name… is Ye Ling!
