Chapter 11: Tooth
Five days later, the evening party at No. 1 Middle School started on schedule.
Due to the shortage of staff, Chen Shuya was also sent to the backstage as a free laborer.
Backstage, Chen Shuya ran into Cheng Xiang who had just finished putting on his makeup. His hair was parted in a 3:7 ratio, and he had an angular and delicate face with upturned eyes that were very attractive.
When he saw Chen Shuya, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't say anything after all, because there was a shortage of manpower.
When they were finally done and the show was about to start, Chen Shuya sneaked to sit on a stool beside the stage to slack off. The party was in the evening, and as soon as it started, Chen Shuya was so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep.
She yawned and was feeling drowsy when a faint fragrance drifted into Chen Shuya's nose. She looked up and met Cheng Xiang's gaze.
Chen Shuya wiped her tears and asked, "When can I go home? I'm so sleepy."
Cheng Xiang threw her a candy and said calmly, "It's about nine o'clock."
Chen Shuya picked up the candy and saw that this time it was not White Rabbit, but mint candy.
She tore open the package and ate the candy. It was very cool and stimulated Chen Shuya's nerves, making her much more sober.
Chen Shuya turned her head to look at Cheng Xiang, then teased, "You look very handsome in a suit today, Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Xiang raised his eyebrows and said with a raised tone: "Really, Yaya?"
It took her two seconds to realize that Cheng Xiang was calling her by her nickname. Chen Shuya blushed and said, "Why are you calling me by my nickname?"
Cheng Xiang tilted his head, looked at her for two seconds, and suddenly smiled: "Shy?"
"You're the one who's shy!"
Cheng Xiang raised a smile, but before he could say anything he was called away to go on stage.
Watching his back as he left , Chen Shuya covered her face with her hands, which was a little hot.
Chen Shuya did not watch the show because she was a logistics staff and there was no one to restrain her, so she turned around and left the auditorium and went to the canteen.
After buying some snacks at the store, Chen Shuya sat down on the stool in front of the store and began to enjoy her food.
Just as she was eating happily, a cold voice suddenly came from above her head.
"Is it tasty?"
The sudden sound startled Chen Shuya, and the small bread in her hand fell to the ground with a "pop". She turned her head stiffly and saw the familiar face.
"Have you finished hosting?"
Cheng Xiang sat down next to her, leaning there lazily had no bones. Chen Shuya turned her head to look at him, and he was looking at her deeply.
Cheng Xiang said tiredly, "Yeah, I just finished."
He raised his hand and rubbed his temple, as if he was very tired.
Chen Shuya pursed her lips, picked out a bag of QQ candy from the pile of snacks in her arms, tore open the package, took out one and stuffed it into Cheng Xiang's mouth.
She smiled gently and said, "Eating sweet things will make you feel better."
Cheng Xiang doesn't like sweet things, but after hearing what she said, he silently chewed the QQ candy and swallowed it.
The two sat together in silence. No one spoke, and the only sound was the chirping of cicadas in the trees.
After being silent for a while, Chen Shuya suddenly spoke up: "You said that my health is so poor that I will not live past 18."
Cheng Xiang raised his hand and poked her head with his fingertips: "What do you think about every day?"
Recalling something, Chen Shuya said, "By the way, it was your birthday yesterday, and you didn't make a wish yet."
The sound of music and cicadas in the auditorium was in my ears. Cheng Xiang said softly, "Then I wish you peace, happiness and good health."
When the party was almost over, Chen Shuya and Cheng Xiang returned to the auditorium together. He was going to give a thank-you speech, so she found a seat in the last row of the auditorium and sat down.
When Cheng Xiang walked onto the stage, Chen Shuya finally got a clear look at his outfit.
He is tall, looks handsome in a suit, and most importantly, he is also handsome.
When delivering the thank you speech, the last words were reserved for Cheng Xiang. Chen Shuya had read his manuscript, and the last words were: "I wish you all happiness every day."
After a long time, Cheng Xiang picked up the microphone and said his line: "Everyone is happy every day."
After a pause, he added: "Ya Ya is happy too."
Chen Shuya, who was hiding in the last row, felt her brows twitch suddenly and her heart was beating wildly.
No one knew who Yaya was, and given the atmosphere, not many people even cared about Cheng Xiang’s last words.
But she knows.
Who is Yaya?
When Chen Shuya returned home that night, she was bombarded with messages from Ning Yan.
Yanyan: What’s going on????????
Yanyan: He also knows your nickname? ? ? ?
Yanyan: He actually dared to say such things in front of so many people. If he doesn’t like you, I will go to Tibet on foot.
Faced with Ning Yan's series of messages, Chen Shuya hesitated for a moment, typed a few words and sent them.
Jiangnan: I feel like I have someone I like.
After a moment, Ning Yan replied.
Yanyan: Cheng Xiang, right?
right.
She likes Cheng Xiang, she likes him very much. He is such a good man, she will like him in her next life too.
…
On Sunday, the day off, Chen Shuya slept at home all day. When she woke up in the evening, it was dark.
When I went downstairs, I didn't see my mother, so I guessed she was working overtime again.
Chen Shuya wanted to go out to buy some food, so she didn't change her clothes and went out wearing Pachadog's pajamas and Pachadog's slippers.
After eating spicy hot pot, Chen Shuya met an old man pushing a bicycle and selling candied haws on the street corner. She bought two strings and thought that it was close to the bookstore, so she ran to the bookstore with the candied haws to find Cheng Xiang.
When I pushed open the door of the bookstore, I saw Cheng Xiang sitting in front of the counter with his legs crossed, playing games.
Seeing that it was Chen Shuya, Cheng Xiang quit the game with a flick of his finger. Looking at Chen Shuya in her pajamas, he paused and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chen Shuya smiled and shook the candied haws : "I'll treat you to candied haws."
As she spoke, she stuffed the candied haws into Cheng Xiang's hand. Cheng Xiang didn't like sweet things, so he was silent for a while, then took a small bite under Chen Shuya's expectant gaze.
He smiled: "It's sweet."
Chen Shuya was just about to ask him where the puppy was when she felt her nose getting hot and blood started flowing. She reached out and touched her hand, which was covered in blood.
Cheng Xiang panicked and quickly took out two pieces of paper to cover her nose and tilted her head back: "Don't lower your head."
Chen Shuya stood there obediently and let him play with her.
Cheng Xiang took her to the bathroom in the back room of the bookstore. Cheng Xiang wet some toilet paper and used it to wipe her nosebleed. Chen Shuya looked at herself in the mirror, her hair was messy and her lips were pale.
She laughed: "Cheng Xiang, will I die?"
Cheng Xiang raised his hand and knocked her head: "So many dramas when I'm angry."
Chen Shuya pursed her lips and let Cheng Xiang continue to clean her nosebleed.
After cleaning up, Cheng Xiang was about to close the door. Chen Shuya was puzzled: "Why are you closing the door?"
Cheng Xiang raised his chin, motioning her to come out. After Chen Shuya left, he locked the door and said calmly, "I'll take you to see a doctor."
Cheng Xiang did not take her to a big hospital, but instead took her to a small clinic in an alley.
When I entered the door, there were only a few children sitting on stools receiving IV drips, with their parents sitting next to them.
Chen Shuya's body stiffened for a moment, and she turned her head and asked, "What is this?"
Cheng Xiang took her to the inner room and said as he walked, "This doctor is very good at treating illnesses. I came here when I was sick as a child."
The doctor was an old man who looked very experienced.
Cheng Xiang did not stay in the inner room any longer and left. Chen Shuya stayed in the inner room to see the doctor.
After a while, Chen Shuya also came out.
She pulled Cheng Xiang to sit on the sofa. Cheng Xiang asked, "Why, do you want an injection?"
Chen Shuya nodded and explained, "It was just a case of getting angry, but he said my physical condition was too poor and asked me to take some amino acids."
After the injection, Chen Shuya realized that there was a very young boy sitting next to her, looking at her with his eyes rolling.
Chen Shuya found it funny. She said softly, "Why are you looking at me?"
The boy pointed at Cheng Xiang who was standing beside him and said, "Sister, is he your boyfriend?"
After the words fell, Chen Shuya and Cheng Xiang were both stunned.
Children speak without restraint. Children speak without restraint.
Chen Shuya smiled and said, "No, she is my sister's good friend."
The boy asked again: "Can I be your sister's boyfriend?"
Chen Shuya was shocked by these words. She couldn't help laughing and reached out to touch the little boy's head: "Sister is much older than you."
Then a lazy voice came from Chen Shuya's ear: "How old is this little brat and he's already looking for a girlfriend."
The little boy pouted at Cheng Xiang, looking at his stern face, and didn't dare to refute.
