5 To see is to believe

Feng Qiao felt like fainting. He was too naive! He got trapped without him knowing! What should he do now?

"Why are you so against it? You have such a handsome face, you should be proud of it! " Xiao Yu looked at Feng Qiao, it was such a pity that a beauty like this remained hidden throughout these years.

"H-handsome? Who? Me?" Feng Qiao pointed at himself. He was genuinely confused.

He's not handsome. He looked like a girl and he hates it.

Actually, the last time Feng Qiao saw his face was in middle school.

After that incident, he began to throw away things that can make him see his face. Mirrors, even his cell phone--he got rid of it all.

When he goes out, he was already in his 'nerd' outfit and he deliberately avoids looking at things that can give him his reflection.

In short, he avoided looking at his own face for years!

Even though his parents always say that he is 'handsome', he didn't really believe them. He thought that it was just their way of comforting him, they're his parents after all.

Xiao Yu and Co. felt like smacking Feng Qiao in the head, he was fucking handsome—beautiful even! and he doesn't know it?

"Brother, are you blind? It's your own face and you don't know?" Wang Shu felt confused by this junior of his. Was he really oblivious of that fact or was he just faking it?

"Actually... I-I've been bullied before." Feng Qiao swallowed hard, he really don't know why he was sharing his story to these people he just met. "They bullied me because of my face. I'm a guy but my face looks like a girl... it's not normal. I really don't understand what you guys are talking about. Me? Representing our school? You guys must've been the one who's blind? You should've found someone else for the Mr.Moon! Someone handsome and with the appeal. Not some 'girly' and plain like me!"

Zhao Lin: ...

Xiao Yu: ....

Wang Shu: ...

Shao Wei: ...

All of them was left speechless by Feng Qiao's sudden outburst. Except, Shao Wei, he's normally like that.

They felt at lost on how to respond at what he said.

"Feng Qiao.. Let me ask you a question first. When was the last time you saw your face?" Zhao Lin carefully asked Feng Qiao.

It's not that he's didn't believe what Feng Qiao said. It's just that, he keeps saying that he looked like a girl.

That is different from what they can see. Although the person in front of them has some feminine features on some parts, it was undoubtedly that his face belonged to a man— a handsome young man!

It was his androgynous beauty, the mix of feminine and manly feature, that attracted Zhao Lin in the first place.

It was a rare kind of beauty. This what makes Feng Qiao different from others.

This is why he was confused, why does Feng Qiao insist that his face looked like a girl?

"Uhm.. Ever since Middle school, I started avoiding seeing my face" Feng Qiao looked down and starts fidgeting with his hands.

Even though Zhao Lin kind of expected it, it still surprised him.

How could a person live for years without seeing his own face?

"What? That's impossible, there are mirrors everywhere!" Wang Shu was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine not seeing his face even for a day. What more if it was years?

"I threw them all" Feng Qiao softly replied.

"How about your cell phone?"

"I don't have a cell phone"

"In the train, don't you see your reflection on the windows?"

"I look like this when I go out"

"Are you serious?" Wang Shu felt defeated.

"Uh yes," Feng Qiao meekly replied. Is it so wrong to avoid seeing my face? It's not like I'll die if I don't see my face...

"Feng Qiao, you have to see your face! Trust me! It's not like what you think, it doesn't look like a girl at all!" Xiao Yu felt frustrated by Feng Qiao, seriously? how oblivious was he?

"W-what? But during middle school, they teased me because of that..."

"Middle School was years ago! Of course, you've changed!" Just a little more, Xiao Yu felt like slapping some sense into this kid.

Feng Qiao fell into deep thought. This was the first time that someone said that to him aside from his parents.

Was that really the case? Have I really... changed?

Feng Qiao woke up from his thoughts when he suddenly felt someone behind him grabbed both of his arms and put it in his back, making him unable to move from his seat!

"To see is to believe, Shao Wei go get a mirror" Zhao Lin smirked while looking down at the petrified Feng Qiao beneath him.

"Copy" Shao Wei immediately moved to get a medium-sized mirror from a wall.

Feng Qiao panicked, "W-wait! I--" He was not ready for any of this! He still needs to mentally prepare himself!

Wang Shu stood up and walked towards Feng Qiao, "Hahaha, don't resist junior Feng~ Here, let I, your senior, remove your glasses again~"

Feng Qiao's eyes widened when he saw Wang Shu taking away his glasses.

Not only that, but Xiao Yu also went to him. She moved his bangs to the other side and uses his other hand to hold his face in place.

Feng Qiao has no place to escape, he's now literally and physically trapped by this people!

"Put it in front of him"

Feng Qiao immediately closed his eyes when he heard what Zhao Lin said. He could hear the footsteps of Shao Wei getting closer until it stopped right in front of him.

If he opens his eyes now, he could surely see his bare face!

"Open your eyes, Feng Qiao" Zhao Lin ordered.

No response. Feng Qiao continued closing his eyes.

"Open your eyes! It'll be quick"

Still no response.

Zhao Lin and co. tried to persuade Feng Qiao for 10 mins. to open his eyes but to no avail! This guy is too stubborn!

The four of them simultaneously glanced at each other, all have the same thoughts running through their heads...

It seems like training him won't be easy huh...
