1 Unrequited

"Feng Qiao!" An old man with bald hair called out.

"Yes, sir?" Feng Qiao answered. He has black hair and overly large glasses.

"Answer the problem on the board"

Feng Qiao stood up and immediately answered the calculus problem on the board. After that, he hurriedly goes back to his seat, it is clear that he is uncomfortable being in the spotlight.

"Bravo! See? You guys should be more like Feng Qiao who is good at studying! "

The old man professor continued preaching the class while his saliva is spraying everywhere. The poor guy at the front could only put his book to shield his face from the upcoming shower.

"Tsk! That Feng blah blah is at it again"

"The only thing that is good about him is that he's a little smart"

"Pfft look at him, he looks so plain"

"If Prof didn't mention him, I'll probably forget about his existence hahaha"

Feng Qiao is not deaf. He could clearly hear his classmates remarks about him. He chooses to ignore them because he is used to it already. In his two years studying at CBY university, he became used to being a loner. It is convenient for him because he has trouble communicating with other people.

Being treated as if he doesn't exist is better than what he experienced in middle school.

As soon as the bell rings, Feng Qiao immediately grabbed his things and went out of the classroom. He hurriedly went to the building of the Fashion Department.

The CBY University is divided into different departments such as Art department, Fashion Department, Engineering Department, Science Department etc. Feng Qiao belongs to the Art department.

In front of the Fashion department, there is a tree with a bench underneath. Feng Qiao sat on the bench and grabbed his book from his bag. He pretended to read while taking a peek on the entrance of the building from time to time.

In his boring life in the University, the Lunch break is the only time that Feng Qiao looks forward to.

It is because this is the only time where he could see HIM.

Soon, sounds of chattering could be heard from the entrance. Students could be seen exiting from the building.

Feng Qiao turns his attention to the entrance while covering half of his face with his book. Some students noticed Feng Qiao but none of them paid him attention.

Soon, a group of students came out. The group stands out among the crowd because none of the students dared to be close to them. You could also see from the eyes of the other students the admiration and respect towards this group. There are about 10 people in this group and all of them have a great fashion sense. Even though they are only wearing the CBY Uniform, the impression they give from wearing the clothes is completely different from others.

Feng Qiaos' eyes lit up upon seeing this group. He scanned the group to find the person he's looking for. Feng Qiao blushes upon seeing that slightly messy brown hair. It belongs to a guy in the front of the group with dark hazel eyes, tall and high bridged nose, and perfectly curved pinkish lips. With both of his hand in his pocket, he walks confidently in the crowd of students. Some girls couldn't help but sneak glances towards the guy while blushing to themselves.

This guy is Zhao Lin. The third year in CBY University, Fashion Department. He is also the president of their department and that group is the officers of their department.

Zhao Lin is not only a guy with looks but also with the brain. He's one of the top students in their university. It is no wonder that he has many admirers among the students

Feng Qiao stared at Zhao Lin without blinking, this is the only time where he could see him so he must make use of this time!

He first saw Zhao Lin in the Entrance Ceremony for the freshmen 1 1/2 year ago. Zhao Lin is in charge of welcoming the students to the stadium where the ceremony is held. One by one he greets the students and guides them on where to go. He treats the students equally and welcomes them with a smile. When it was Feng Qiao's turn, even though he dresses like a nerd, Zhao Lin still gave him a smile and kindly guide him through the stadium. From then on, Feng Qiao is attracted to Zhao Lin. He tried to gather information on who is this kind senior. At first, it is only admiration from a junior to his senior but the more he got to know him, the more his admiration turn into something different.

Every lunch break, he would sit on the bench underneath the tree in front of the entrance of the fashion department just to take a peek at him. Feng Qiao knows that there's no chance for Zhao Lin to return his feelings. Feng Qiao envies the girls for they can confess their feelings even though they could be rejected. Feng Qiao can't confess because he is a guy.

No matter where you look at it, a guy confessing to another guy is abnormal.

Feng Qiao couldn't help but sigh while looking at Zhao Lin who is getting farther and farther away from him. He wants to extend his hands and grab Zhao lin and say his feelings but he knows that he can't. He doesn't want Zhao Lin to be disgusted with him and avoid him. He should just be contented with taking a look at him from afar.

When Zhao Lin is no longer in sight, Feng Qiao grabbed his things and stood up. He went straight to the building behind the fashion department. This building is the former fashion department and is now rarely used. Although this building looks abandoned, it's facilities is still okay and it is not too dirty. Feng Qiao climbed the stairs to the rooftop. He went to his usual spot at the corner of the fence surrounding the rooftop and took a seat. He then took out the lunch box made by his mother.

This place became his hideout during lunch time. It is quiet and peaceful because none of the students dared to wander in an abandoned building. Feng Qiao is the only one who does.

After finishing his lunch, he kept his lunch box in his bag. There's still 1 hr. before his next class so he decided to take a nap first.

He sets his phone to alarm in case he doesn't get up on time and put it beside him. He took off his glasses and placed it beside his phone to avoid breaking it while he's sleeping.

Using his bag as a pillow, Feng Qiao laid down facing the sky. With the beautiful blue sky and the wind that's gently blowing, Feng Qiao gradually fell into slumber.

The wind gently blows his long bangs and that reveals the face who's smooth like a baby. He has long eyelashes that flutter gently with the wind, a pointy nose, and a cute small lips. His face looks feminine like a girl but at the same time, it looks handsome. A true androgynous beauty indeed.

Anyone who could see this would surely be shocked! This sleeping person looks like someone who came out of a painting. His androgynous beauty could make boys and girls heart skip a beat. His defenseless and innocent look made others want to protect him from any harm. No one would surely expect that this beauty is the Feng Qiao whom everybody ignores in their University.

A couple of minutes later, footsteps could be heard from the door of the rooftop. The footsteps came closer and closer and stopped right in front of the sleeping Feng Qiao.

Feng Qiao continued sleeping peacefully, oblivious to the fact that someone is now staring at him
