Chapter 07 The unknown secret 1
I didn't expect to meet Wei Jimo here.
After we became strangers, I never expected that one day he would take the initiative to contact me.
"President, is there anything wrong?" I stopped and hid myself in the dense shade of the trees, my eyes calm and distant.
"Lin Yining!" He looked at me with complicated eyes, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.
"If everything is alright, President, I'll go back to the dormitory first." His silence made the atmosphere instantly awkward.
The awakening in the afternoon made my heart feel tired for the first time. I think I need a rest! After a good sleep, Lin Yining will be the invincible Sailor Moon in the universe full of vitality tomorrow.
"Lin Yining!" He called my name again. Those three simple words were held in his throat, sounding like a thousand twists and turns, so moving and heart-wrenching.
I sighed, moved aside and passed by him.
He reached out and grabbed my wrist, blocking my path again.
"Mr. President, you will cause misunderstandings if you do this." My eyes fell on the place where my wrist was connected with his. I spoke calmly, but I was roaring in my heart.
Ahhh, what on earth does this damn guy want to do?
Will you give me a candy after you slap me?
Isn’t he afraid that Su Anyang will be unhappy by doing this?
"Lin Yining, thank you." As if he didn't hear the sarcasm in my words, Wei Jimo lowered his eyes and said, "And, I'm sorry."
"Why are you thanking me? Because I took a slap for Anyang?"
If I could understand the first half of Wei Jimo's sentence, I was completely confused by the second half.
"If that's the reason, then there's no need for you, President. I helped her only because she's my friend, a friend I like, that's all. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
"I am indeed very grateful that you saved Anyang. But I also know that I should thank you for more than just this one thing." For some reason, Wei Jimo was surprisingly forbearing today. "Anyway, thank you very much, Lin Yining."
"Really? I don't remember anything about the past. Why should you take it to heart, President?"
This guy, did he take the wrong medicine today?
Why are you bringing up those things from the past?
Could it be that because I saved Su Anyang today, he felt guilty and had a change of heart?
"As for the three words 'sorry', I am even less worthy of them." With a hint of sarcasm on my lips, I said in a cold tone, "Mr. President, have you ever done anything to apologize to me?"
At dusk, the blue sky is vast.
Wei Jimo's eyes, which were clearer than the blue sky, were now changing unpredictably.
He sighed softly. The sound was not loud, but it slowly penetrated into my ears and made my heart inexplicably tighten.
"I know you hate me now." Stuffing a box of ointment into my hands, Wei Jimo's long eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the deep light in his eyes, "But Lin Yining, I'm really sorry for making you... suffer today!"
Wronged?
Are you referring to the slap given to Wang Wei, or something else?
I don't know why, but I always feel that Wei Jimo is a little weird today. The word "grievance" that came out of his mouth is also full of deep meaning.
"No merit, no reward. I appreciate the president's kindness. You should take this ointment back."
My nose suddenly felt sore, and I didn’t know whether it was because of Wei Jimo’s apology for being late or because of my own incompetence.
Lin Yining, you are such a fool, you have no future! People just said a few nice words and gave you a box of ointment, and you softened your heart!
"This ointment is very effective in reducing swelling. Take it."
He refused to take the ointment I handed over, but his eyes went straight to my still slightly red and swollen cheek.
So gentle, so affectionate.
"President." I suddenly felt a little upset, so I said angrily, "What do you mean? Don't forget that you once warned me not to like you. If you do this, I will misunderstand you."
Wei Jimo, if you can't give me what I want, don't be so nice to me!
I threw on him and walked away.
"Lin Yining!"
In desperation, he grabbed my hand.
Our fingers were intertwined, and I could clearly feel fine beads of sweat emerging from the place where his palm touched. I couldn't tell whether they were his or mine.
"Please don't be like this. Some things are not what you think..."
He looked at me with an earnest and, faintly, pleading look.
This kind of Wei Jimo is no longer the calm and composed president, nor is he the cold and aloof teenager with a sharp tongue and mysophobia. At this moment, he is like a child who longs for warmth and recognition, which makes my heart no longer cold and hard.
Wei Jimo, ah, Wei Jimo, you are simply my nemesis!
I sighed secretly and reached out to take the ointment.
Wei Jimo's eyes lit up, and in an instant, they became three times brighter than the brightest stars in the summer night sky.
"Lin Yining!" He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. Before he finished speaking, the phone rang urgently, breaking the good atmosphere that had just been established between us.
It was just a few short sentences, but Wei Jimo's expression changed again and again. He was always calm and composed, but now he seemed to be filled with worries, and even his smile seemed forced.
"I'm sorry, Lin Yining, I have something urgent to do, so I have to leave first."
He waved at me, turned quickly and ran in the opposite direction.
Looking at Wei Jimo's hurried back, I couldn't help but worry secretly in my heart - who was the call just now that could make Wei Jimo so panicked?
