Chapter 07 The unknown secret 2
There was a drizzling spring rain in the evening. The raindrops hit the banana leaves outside the window, making me toss and turn all night and I didn't sleep well.
The next morning, I walked into the classroom with a pair of big panda eyes. Wei Jimo's seat was empty, and he didn't show up until the bell rang.
Thinking of how worried he looked when he left yesterday, I couldn't help but worry secretly.
I was a little distracted during the whole day of class. There were several times when the teacher called on me to ask questions, but I didn't know what the teacher was asking. If Su Anyang hadn't been there to give me hints, I would have been caught red-handed.
In the end, Su Anyang couldn't stand it anymore. After the get out of class was over and the teacher left, she couldn't help it anymore. She leaned on me with her elbow and asked, "Hey, Yining, what's wrong with you today? Are you worried about something?"
"Anyang..." I looked back at Wei Jimo's still empty seat, hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Wei Jimo didn't come to class today, do you know why?"
"So you are worried about the end of the season." Su Anyang smiled, but for some reason, there was a heavy feeling between his brows.
"You seem to know something, right, Anyang?" Looking at her expression, I was certain that there must be some secret between Su Anyang and Wei Jimo that no one else knew.
My heart suddenly felt a little sour. I felt like a fool, being kept in the dark and still unable to help worrying about him.
"Anyang, why don't you call Wei Jimo and ask him why he didn't come to class?"
"Yining." Su Anyang turned around and looked at me, his eyes burning, "Are you worried about the end of the season?"
"No!" My heart skipped a beat and I wanted to explain, "Anyang, you just came to our school, so you probably don't know that Wei Jimo is a recognized three-good student in the whole school. He is never late or absent. But, for someone like him, he didn't come to class today. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"
"Yining, since you are so worried about Ji Mo, why don't you call him yourself?"
"No, Anyang. I didn't..." Su Anyang just looked at me quietly, with no smile or anger on his face.
But I felt that her eyes were so sharp that they seemed to see through me.
Lin Yining, you idiot!
You actually said these words in front of Su Anyang. How could you have forgotten what her current relationship with Wei Jimo is?
I was so upset that I wanted to bite my tongue off.
"Anyang, it's not what you think. My feelings towards Wei Jimo are just the concern of a classmate for a classmate. I have absolutely no other improper thoughts."
Su Anyang remained silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
I wish I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Ahhh, I'm so ashamed to face people.
"Yining."
Just when I was about to find an excuse to flee, Su Anyang finally spoke. Her expression was still calm, but her eyes were unusually serious.
"If you like something, you should work hard to get it instead of giving it to others easily. No matter who that person is, you should never compromise!"
"Anyang..." I was dumbfounded, looking at her in surprise. Her mouth was so big that it could swallow an egg. "How did you..."
Oh my god, why would Su Anyang say that? Doesn't she like Wei Jimo?
But she actually encouraged me not to give Wei Jimo to someone else.
Isn't it selfish to like someone?
How could Su Anyang be so generous?
Wasn't she jealous just now? Or did she not like Wei Jimo at all?
I suddenly felt that my brain was not enough.
What is going on between Su Anyang and Wei Jimo?
Thinking of Wei Jimo's hesitation and reluctance to speak yesterday , I suddenly felt that I seemed to be unable to understand the relationship between them.
"Silly." Seeing me like this, Su Anyang smiled and pinched my cheek. Without explaining, he just lowered his eyes and said, "Do you think it's strange for me to say these words?"
I nodded vigorously, staring at Su Anyang without blinking, trying to find something from her eyes.
"There are some things I don't want to explain. But, Yining, I just want to tell you that you can't just look at the surface of things, but follow your heart. Also, I like you because you are Lin Yining, you are very much to my taste, not because of any other relationship, and I will not change because of anyone or anything. Do you understand, Yining?"
I nodded, then shook my head quickly, my brain still on strike.
Lin Yining, you call yourself a genius little detective, but you can't even figure out such a small thing. You are really useless.
"Okay, don't worry about it. You will understand it later." Su Anyang packed his schoolbag and prepared to leave.
"Anyang, let's go see Wei Jimo together." My brain finally came back to work. I grabbed Su Anyang and begged her, "I'm really worried about him."
Su Anyang's body visibly stiffened for a moment, then she shook her head and said firmly: "I'm sorry, Yining. I have something else to do and can't accompany you to watch the end of the season. If you see him, please give him my regards."
"But Anyang, it's not good for me to go alone, right?" I pulled her hand and said coquettishly, "Anyang, my good Anyang, please go with me, okay?"
"Yining, this is really not possible." Su Anyang, who always agreed to my requests, refused this time for some reason, "I can agree to anything you ask, but not this!"
