"The prey is about to enter the broadcasting room,"

I watched the news feed on my phone while running as fast as I could in the corridor of the teaching building...

"Hey! Don't run in the hallway!"

Just as I was running at full speed, I brushed past a teacher,

She shouted at me,

"Sorry..."

Instinctively, I said that, but I didn't stop, I accelerated and ran out of her sight,

Running is really tiring, and I always feel like I'm about to fall,

"Zhiye, too slow, too slow, she's about to go in..."

The broadcasting room is in another building, and I don't have enough time to run there,

"Can you help me delay her?"

I replied to the message,

"Yes, but..."

"Do you have any requirements?"

"Pat my head ten times... 'blushing'"

"Okay..."

"...I'm... so... happy, feels like I turned into a balloon, can you do it in twenty minutes, Zhiye?"

"That's enough..."

"Then hurry up, I can't wait to be patted..."

"Okay..."

After this exchange of messages, I took a few deep breaths and ran downstairs, the students next to me looked at me strangely, as if they saw an ungraceful side of me,

I wanted to cover my face a little, but I couldn't just worry about being embarrassed,

I had to hurry, without catching my breath, I ran to the first floor, then to another building, and then up to the third floor,

I felt so tired, really hate running,

I saw the girl standing at the entrance of the broadcasting room, she kept walking back and forth with a confused look on her face,

Suddenly, a person appeared in the corner,

"Zhiye..."

A girl who was only about 1.4 meters tall, with green hair tied into two short ponytails, wearing a green dress, barefoot, and carrying a green cloth bag, she pounced on me, acting like a little child,

"Zhiye, did I do well?"

She smiled and said to me, I looked at her face, only one eye, a bit like a one-eyed monster, no nose, a mouth under the eye, forming a crescent shape,

Most people would probably be scared and run away when they saw her, but I found her very peculiar, I wanted to keep her like a pet,

"You... did well, as promised, your reward..."

I gently touched her head, if only Jie let me pat his head, couldn't help myself, and patted her head a few more times,

Loramie's face got redder and redder,

"Sorry, sorry, I accidentally patted you more, are you okay, Loramie?"

Loramie is her name, she is a very special creature, with mysterious powers, in this world where I feel helpless and like there is no Jie, and I might as well give up, she appeared, an existence that shouldn't exist, an existence that won't be acknowledged, but she appeared, I was ecstatic, but I couldn't share it with others,

They would probably say I'm mentally disturbed,

What about Jie? Would he accept it? When we were kids, he always agreed to any curious ideas I had,

But now... Loramie might scare Jie, so I can't let her be seen by him,

"Zhiye, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing..."

"Can you pat my head again?"

"I've already patted you fifteen times,"

"But... I still want..."

"What's the reason?"

"It feels so good... your hand is so soft and warm..."

"You're really greedy, little one..."

Smiling, I patted her head a few more times, I really want... I really want to pat Jie's head, what does it feel like to touch his hair? I really want to know.
