Chapter 3 Bubble Four
After Xiaoyuan and I returned to the classroom, she never mentioned Xu Yun to me again . She just smiled at me when I occasionally looked at her. The rain outside the window kept falling, and the occasional cold wind blew in, making people shiver. However, my heart was warm.
I was staring at the stormy world outside the classroom window, and by chance I turned my head and saw the navy blue umbrella hanging next to the desk. As if possessed by a ghost, I couldn't help but turn my head and look back, and then I saw Hua Ziyin who was also staring at the window.
His navy blue coat had turned completely black, and I knew he was soaked through. Rain was slowly flowing down his hair, forming crystal drops that fell on the ends of his hair.
Hua Ziyin, who had lost his playful expression and looked lonely, seemed like a completely different person.
For a moment, I felt that perhaps there was some unknown pain hidden under Hua Ziyin's cheerful appearance. I even began to regret whether I had too much prejudice against him in the past.
However, the next second, I knew I was wrong.
Hua Ziyin came to his senses and saw me. He raised his eyebrows and winked at me in a pretentious manner, as if to say, "Hey, haven't you seen a handsome guy?" I was about to glare at him fiercely when the bell rang. The classmates between him and me stood up one after another, blocking my view of glaring at him.
I didn't give up and looked for Hana Ziyin among those swaying bodies.
Then, I heard someone beside me laughing and saying, "Are you looking for me?"
I turned my head and met Hua Ziyin's smiling eyes.
"Don't deny it, I saw it all." He leaned over and looked at me, his eyes burning and his smile gentle.
I suddenly felt panicky for no apparent reason. To hide my inner panic, I glared at him fiercely: "Yes! I am looking for you, otherwise how can I kill you with my eyes?"
He ignored my murderous gaze, sat down on the seat next to me, tilted his stared at me without blinking, then sighed for a long time and said, "I know, you are bluffing because you are afraid. But you don't need to hide it, it's okay, everyone gets scared sometimes, and it's not a shameful thing."
Without even thinking, I responded, "Psycho!"
But I know that this is completely hypocritical.
He was absolutely right. I was bluffing only because I was afraid.
I don't know why, but I hate the feeling of being seen through. I hate it so much that I want to find a hole in the ground and disappear. I stood up and almost knocked over the chair in my panic. Hua Ziyin quickly held the chair and pulled me to sit down.
"Okay, I was wrong." Hua Ziyin admitted his mistake in a good-tempered manner, which caught me off guard. The counterattack I had prepared in advance was of no use.
I stared at him blankly, but he laughed: "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not an alien."
I muttered quietly, "It's almost time."
"Be serious," he said seriously, "Let's discuss how to help you deal with Xu Yun!"
"Huh?" If his good-tempered acknowledgment of his mistake just now only surprised me, then now I was almost shocked to jump up.
"What's wrong?" He looked innocent. "Didn't we reach a consensus on this matter a long time ago? I will help you make Xu Yun fall in love with you. After you achieve your goal, come back to Baisha School with me. Then, we will keep our distance from each other."
"But……"
But I always thought he was just joking!
He seemed to have guessed what I was thinking: "Why? Do you think I was just saying that casually?"
"Difficult, isn't it?" I swallowed hard, my brain racing to guess why he did this.
"Hey!" Hua Ziyin's face was gloomy. He turned his head away from me and looked very angry. "Are my words so unreliable?"
When he said this, his voice was low and hoarse, as if he had suffered a great injustice. I suddenly felt inexplicably guilty and didn't know how to answer him.
Hua Ziyin looked out the window, silent. I didn't know how to end this topic.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan ran into the classroom breathlessly at this time. When she saw me and Hua Ziyin sitting together, she was stunned for a moment, then hurried to my side and whispered, "Hexue, Xu Yun is looking for you, she is outside the classroom."
Hua Ziyin, who had been staring out the window, suddenly turned her head to look at me with her sharp eyes, as if she could see through me at a glance.
But I suddenly felt relieved and shrugged at him, indicating that Xu Yun was just outside the door and I didn't need his help.
Hua Ziyin glanced at me, suddenly stood up, knocked over the chair next to him with a bang, and walked away without looking back. I was stunned, not knowing why he suddenly got so angry.
It wasn't until Xiaoyuan urged me again that I remembered that Xu Yun was still waiting for me.
I stood up and saw Xu Yun standing tall in the drizzle through the classroom window. He was wearing a loose linen shirt, and when the wind blew, it seemed as if he was about to fly. He looked like a fairy, not like a mortal. This was probably the unique charm of Xu Yun.
