Behind Your Mask Is A Beautiful Smile 24 Chapter 24- You Are Ya Nuo??

"s.h.i.t, the only thing I remember is how red our cheeks were after kissing.... I can't believe we made out on the street for so long. Whatever, I'll go get ready to school."

Ding

"Huh? Nana? ...she wants to meet me after school? I'll be in my male disguise.. I'll try to push it to Sat.u.r.day then."

Nana smiled and sent an animated sticker of a bunny holding the word, "okay" on it.

Huan Hei walked in circles in front of Ya Nuo's room, 'Come on idiot! Think of something to say! Don't make it awkward! She kissed you last night, but she doesn't know that you know about her being a girl!! Why is life so difficult???'

Ya Nuo opened the door and saw him walking nervously. She smiled and patted his shoulder, "Morning! Hei, if you think that I am judging you from last night, don't worry. I'm very open minded."

"..Huh???"

"I know you like guys. I promise you that I wont judge and ignore you either. Nothing will change between us okay? Let's go to school now."

"W..Wait Ya Nuo.. what do you mean..."

"It's okay that you like men. I don't mind at all."

'No!!!! No!!!!! Totally wrong!!! I kissed you because I love you and I knew you are a girl!!! I'm not gay!!! But how am I supposed to explain to you how I found out....no no no!!! Wait a second, heh... since she thinks that I am gay and I don't know about her gender yet... I should pursue her. Problem solved heh.'

"Nuo, wait for me~~"

"Oh right, this Sat.u.r.day I will be going out with Nana."

"Huh? Nana who?"

"Huang Li Na."

"What??!! When did you two become friends? How come you're going out with her?"

"Hei, don't misunderstand her. She's a kind person and is innocent. She already likes someone so she's not interested in you. Don't worry."

"I'm not worrying about how she thinks. I'm worried about you and her intentions!"

"What intentions can she get from a broke high schooler who works for three jobs to afford grocery and rent?"

"..."

"Exactly, you're free to tag along if you want, but don't scare her."

"Fine. I'm coming along, but I'll observe from a distance."

"Let's go, we're going to be late for school if we don't leave now." Ya Nuo smiled and put on her shoes.

-Lunch break at Nana's school-

'Hehe, I made a lunchbox for him. I left him a note to meet me here. I hope this goes well. Let me put on some lipstick and check my hair.'

Door opening

"Li Na, I saw your note. What's up?"

"Oh.. um... I uh.. I want to give you this homemade lunch."

"Haha thanks. Is that it?"

"I.. want .to tell you that...I like you. Will you go out with me?" she blushed and played with her fingers out of nervousness.

"Heh... Hahahhahaa!!! Honey, did you hear that? I told you Huang Li Na is going to confess to me. She's such a jinx. You can deal with her however you want since n.o.body is here right now."

"W..What? But you told me you didn't have a girlfriend." Li Na's eyes reddened from anger.

'This jerk dared lie to me to make me look like a fool?!!'

"How dare you b.i.t.c.h. Have you seen your face and body? Even though your looks are only suited for being someone's cheating partner, come on! You could've chosen anyone, but you had to choose my man?? Hah! Your bad luck, b.i.t.c.h! You dare seduce my boyfriend? Your mother must be a s.l.u.t and gave birth to someone as shameless as you."

Li Na held the girl's wrist before it hit her face, "What's your name?"

"Ren Xin Ya. What? Scared? My family is richer than yours and you dare to stop my slap? Are you asking for a beating? I can give you one."

Li Na shoved Xin Ya's wrist away, "The Ren family.. heh, interesting. I'll love to see how you'll beat me up. First, your boyfriend is the cheater. Second, I asked if he was single and he answered that he wasn't dating so that is why I confessed. Third, you didn't even know the situation and slandered my name, so you owe me an apology. Fourth, lifting your hand against me is not a good move and you will regret it later if I get hurt in any way. Fifth, you insulted me and my mother? Maybe you should look at who you are and where you're from. The Ren family owns a small farm and a few houses, big deal. Stop acting all high and mighty in front of me when you probably spent your parent's hardworking money on the thick layer of foundation and obnoxious purple lipstick on your face. This guy isn't worth my time or yours. Either leave it as it is right now, or we will have a problem."

Xin Ya smirked, "Did you think I came alone to teach you a lesson? How dare you try to fight back when you are the one who is wrong? Girls!! Come in and grab her!"

3 girls entered the room and after 15 minutes of struggling, Nana was held by the 3 girls.

"b.i.t.c.h, didn't you like holding my wrist? Let's see how strong your wrist is against my foot. Lay her on the floor and stuff her face down. Let her watch her jade like hands getting stomped on."

"You'll regret it. All five of you will be begging me for mercy." Nana warned.

"Hahahahaha, arrogant b.i.t.c.hes like you always tell the funniest jokes."

Stomp x 7 times

Nana's hand turned red and bruised from Xin Ya's hard stomps.

"Next, didn't you say I'll regret it? I'll show you what the circ.u.mstances are for threatening me and making yourself sound so righteous about things. How about blade slaps on your flawless face?"

Li Na smirked when 2 girls tried to pick her up from the floor. She took this opportunity to trip and kick the two girls toward Xin Ya. The other girl managed to hold a tight grip around Nana's body and during their push and pulls, Nana's back was. .h.i.t several times by Xin Ya using a baseball bat. Finally, Nana broke free from the girl's grip and successfully took the baseball bat from Xin Ya's hand. The three girls ran away and only Xin Ya and her boyfriend were left in the room.

"b.i.t.c.h, I should've hit you right on the head as a lesson, not your back."

"Hmph" Nana felt extreme pain coming from her back and decided to scare Xin Ya as a lesson. She never wanted to have a fight with her anyways, but she attacked first. 'They have two people and all I have is a baseball bat. If I scare them and run, then I can escape for now. I don't want mom and dad to worry about me because of a crush and b.i.t.c.h so I'll try not to send them my emergency code on my phone. BRother and Zhen Qi are taking an exam right now so I can't bother them either. Plus, I know some martial arts, I can do basic defense.' (Because the Huang family is one of the richest business corporations and most powerful in the city, there are many hidden enemies. Zhi Hei made emergency codes for his children and wife in case of emergencies. When a code is sent to the group chat, everyone in the family will rush to help once they see the message.)

Nana decided to take a risk and aimed the bat at Xin Ya. Xin Ya screamed loudly and duck when the bat swung towards her direction. Her boyfriend tried to stop Nana and ended up getting beaten by her. He left crying for his mother and forgot that his girlfriend was still in the room. Nana scared Xin Ya one last time before running for her life.

'Since n.o.body knows my ident.i.ty, those teachers will help Ren Xin Ya for benefits. I need to leave now and go home. Since it's still lunch break, the gates are still opened. I'll make a run for it.'

"Going somewhere?" Xin Ya said in a high-pitched voice. This time she brought 5 girls from another cla.s.s to chase after Nana. Most students are outside either eating lunch or playing sports so the hallways are mostly emptied. The teachers usually overlook students with rich status' so they would pretend they didn't see any fights. Students don't dare to get themselves involved with fights against Xin Ya because she was one of the rich kids in this school.

Nana cursed in her heart and ran faster than before. After running out of school and turning a few corners, she ran into a dead end. The group of girls were cracking their knuckles and slowly approaching Nana.

"Excuse me girls, you're in my way." Ya Nuo said in an unpleasant tone.

"Shut up. If you don't want to get beaten by us, pretend you don't see anything and walk away!" Xin Ya shouted.

"Oh? I like challenges. Ugly chicks like you with such a rotten personality really like to pick fights with the wrong person. Try me."

Xin Ya waved her hand as a signal for all 5 girls to attack Ya Nuo at once. In 2 minutes, all 5 girls ended up with bruises all over their body and ran away. Ya Nuo picked up a bat from the floor and glared at Xin Ya. "Which of these hands of yours injured her hand? hmm?"

"I...I....Just you wait, Huang Li Na! It's not over!!!"

Ya Nuo took off her jacket and covered Nana, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine... you look familiar.."

's.h.i.t, I saw a group of girls chasing after her and totally forgot that I am in my male disguise.'

" Ya Nuo!!! Nuo!!! Where are you?" Huan Hei screamed out loud. When he saw Xin Ya running away, he walked towards the direction from where she came from. Huan Hei's heart raced when he saw random bats laying on the ground. After turning the corner of the next block, he quickly hugged Ya Nuo, "Nuo! Thank G.o.d you're okay. Are you hurt anywhere?"

Nana gasped, "You're... Xu Huan Hei.. you just called him...Ya Nuo???"
