Chapter 4

All the students waited in a mass and were finally told to sit in a big circle following the count of people that remained. The circle was quite big, truly big, a union of both junior and senior. Initially, Mu Gu was perched alone, unknown company all around, but both Li Shuina and Shu MengMeng wouldn’t let her enjoying peace, which made the atmosphere between them extremely freakish.

Mu Gu doesn't care but the other side might not. Their eyes were tightly guarded next to her, so sharp that she got the cold feeling that arose from them. ‘Just what is their problem?’, Mu Gu had long wanted to say this, and yet, was too lazy to voice out her inner thoughts.

"Now! Attention!", the host of the night commanded in a microphone. His name was Su Han, the school representative. It's quite amazing how he can make everyone follow his demand seeing how all the students were focusing on him. Su Han, with great enthusiasm, requested again, "How's today?! Great? Or mid-mid?"

The students' answers were rather disoriented and confusing. Each of them wanted to insert in their days when at long last, Su Han put an end to it with a "shushhh-" before he spoke again, "It's good that all of us were still filled with great spirit tonight, so....there might be no problem continuing our game, yes?"

"Yes!!!"

"Good. Tonight, as you may all know already, there's a night that we will hold a game for all of us. The senior might know but the junior...today you get to know, and will get used to it as time passes by."

Su Han coughs a bit before proceeding again, " Tonight, our game will be a junior and senior’s bond. There are a total of three games, and the first that we played was an old made game, which will be an old game for breaking ice, 'The wind blows'.

Upon hearing that, Mu Gu furrowed and was confused. She'd never played games before, because she’d always slipped out every time, and that leads her not knowing any of it. She had wanted to ask but was too shy. Fortunately it got described afterwards.

Su Han, "This game was an old game of ice breaking. It works more on building connections with each other. Quite simple. The rules is;

— As we already form a circle of chairs, of course with one fewer chair, one person must stand in the center without a chair.

— The person in the center says a sentence like “The wind blows for everyone who…” and finishes it with something true for some people in the group. For example:

“…who has her or his hair tied up,”

“…who wore slipper,”

“…or who plays an instrument.”

Anyone whom the statement describes must get up and quickly find a different chair; note: the one next to them is extremely prohibited.

Then, the last one to sit will be left without a chair — that person becomes the next to call out a “The wind blows…” sentence. And to be presented with punishment.

And the game continues, giving everyone a chance to move around and learn more about each other in a fun way as people try to quickly find seats.

Not taking too much time, all of them nodded in understanding.

Hence, Su Han started.

"The wind blows..."

The crowd excitedly replied.

"Blows to where...!!"

Su Han speaks again.

"Blows...for everyone who...."

Hearing the phrase 'for everyone who' fastened Mu Gu’s heart beat. It was not anxiety which should be the nature of her — rather it was a soundful beat of excitement. Her heart oddly felt eager to know the next. It was partly caused by the tone of the host though.

Let alone, those gaze. It's been ages but Jun Yi's eyes had been entirely fixated on her all the time. Obviously careless but there was something — something definitely hiding beneath. Mu Gu can't help but mildly scrunched again, trying to hint at him, 'what?'

Jun Yi’s eyes are still in a curve, but her lips suddenly change into a flat smile in reaction.

At the same time, both were awaiting the result from Su Han.

"Who tied their hair!"

A sudden burst of voice filled up their nerves. Mu Gu was completely startled, resulting in her body taken-aback in shock. Her heart seized, leaving her momentarily paralyzed. Hearing that, most of the people present also start to become erratic, running here and there in the middle of the circle, in an attempt to find an empty seat.

While in the midst, Mu Gu also got caught in that confusion. She was smaller, thus, it was truly hard to get out from the limitation of the crowd. However, she was somewhat fortunate enough to bump into Jun Yi among the crowd. Amidst the commotion, Jun Yi took the chance. The words ‘jiejie’ softly came out of his lips as he lifted her. Immediately, his sharp eyes spotted a pair of chairs and put her in an empty seat next to him.

Mu Gu — Baffled…

It all happened in a blur. Mu Gu’s mind was completely struggling to catch up with it. Whilst in complete paralysis on his arms, and still even after she already landed safely. In a still moment, she glanced at him and put her head away again. Jun Yi also finds his sudden act was shocking, yet the itchy feeling of silliness was uncontrollable — was happy as he looked at her and chuckled at the crowd.

Then again, her gaze deepened, scanning, and wondered why he would be among the masses. Her eyes scanned from his up to down and spotted something — Thanks to the two little tied hair that were barely seen on top of his fluffy nest that she got past the punishment. Dark black with a blue pearl on it, exactly just like a set of hers.
