Chapter 3 "Lip Gloss" and "Strawberry" 3
I rested my chin on my hand, looking listlessly at Ino's empty seat. The class was about to start, but they hadn't shown up yet. Did something happen?
Usually when I arrive at the classroom, Ino is already there to greet me, and he always says that he comes to school early just to be able to see me sooner.
Doesn't he want to see me today?
Or was it last night...Yilan, who was very jealous, angrily "punished" me, so could it be that the "culprit" Ino...
In my mind, there appeared images of Ino being tied to a grill and roasted raw, thrown into a steamer and steamed, and thrown into a frying pan and fried.
Is Ino in danger?
Should I call Quint and ask if Ino is still alive?
Could it be that Ino was seriously injured by Yilan and is still in the emergency room, so they can't come to school?
I got up and went outside the classroom to make a phone call, and I saw Ino walking into the classroom with a pair of dark circles under his eyes. He walked with his eyes squinted, and there were traces of saliva at the corners of his mouth.
"well……"
Ino just laid down on the desk and continued to dream.
"What happened?" I asked Quint curiously, and then looked at Ino carefully. There seemed to be no signs of injury.
"Stay in bed!" Quint nodded to me, his eyes firmly hinting me not to tell Ino what happened last night.
"I didn't stay in bed. I had nightmares last night. One moment I dreamed that I was chased by a wolf, and the next moment I dreamed that I was beaten by someone who looked exactly like me. In the end, I didn't know what happened. I felt like the sky was falling. When I got up in the morning, the tears in the corners of my eyes were still wet!" Ino jumped up from the desk and said indignantly. He glared at Quint, who was "talking without any pain in his waist", and his eyes burning with small flames seemed to say, "If you have such a dream, you will probably faint from fright."
I looked at Quint in confusion. Was it Quint who stopped Ilan in time that prevented him from beating Ino, but instead he went into Ino's dream to make trouble?
Quint still had a humble and polite expression and shook his head slightly.
Although I really wanted to know what happened, I was lucky not to faint from Quint's smiling face.
"So how do you feel now? Do you want me to go to the store and buy you a cup of milk tea or coffee to wake you up?"
I sat in front of Ino, holding his face with heartache. His eyes were red, and it seemed that he had really cried.
"No, I have no appetite!" Ino shook his head.
After staring at me for a while, Ino frowned, and gently pushed aside my hair with his slender fingers, checking the "strawberry" on my neck.
Woo, how can I give a reasonable explanation? After Yilan's brutal "bite" last night, when I woke up this morning, his wolf tooth mark turned into a big, glaring "strawberry". I tried many ways to cover this mark, applying ointment, concealer, and even tying a silk scarf, but the position was just close to the shoulder, which was of no use!
"I was just bitten by a mosquito, that's all." I lowered my head guiltily and covered it with my hair in embarrassment.
Woo woo, I was really bitten by a big "mosquito"!
"What kind of mosquito is so poisonous?" Ino checked the "wound" anxiously, "Did you apply any ointment? I wouldn't want to leave a scar! Just sit here and I'll go to the infirmary to buy some ointment to help you apply it."
"No, no need! I applied it this morning. Class is about to start, you should sit down." I said, pulling Ino who had already stood up.
"It's okay, I'll be quick!" Ino smiled and winked at me, then quickly ran out of the classroom.
Looking at the back of Ino who had recovered his vitality, I couldn't help but smile. He was really gentle, just like the spring rain, moistening everything silently. Even if the sky fell, as long as I saw him, my heart would be at ease. Even though I was warned by Yilan not to approach Ino again, I still did it, because I liked the comfortable feeling, just like lying on the grass and lazily enjoying the sunbath. I liked to get along with such a sunny and warm Ino, and I would never get tired of him even for a lifetime.
"Xixi? Xixi..." Youxi's dishonest voice sounded in my ears. Is this guy going to borrow Xi Zixi's game console again?
But when I looked back, the scene was so funny that I couldn't help laughing. Youxi was half squatting and pulling Xi Ziqian's sleeve coquettishly, while Xi Ziqian sat on the chair, turned her face away and ignored Youxi. I seemed to see the scene in the idol drama where the boyfriend kneeled on the keyboard, grabbing his ears and admitting his mistakes in order to coax his girlfriend to forgive him.
"What's so interesting outside the window? Are those little birds as cute as me?" You Xi turned Xi Ziqian's face with a smile and made a face at her.
"Go away, we have broken up, don't bother me anymore, and consider that game console as a breakup gift." Xi Ziqian announced domineeringly.
Break up? When did they get together?
This is explosive news!
what's the situation?
Did I miss some good show?
"Xiao Qian, please help me coax her, I really don't have any other choice." Before I could go forward to ask, Youxi came to the door on his own initiative.
"What happened?"
I narrowed my eyes and looked at Xi Ziqian with a wicked smile.
Humph, she’s still my best friend, but she didn’t even tell me that she was in a relationship.
"When did you start?"
"We..." Xi Ziqian felt embarrassed when I interrogated her. "We broke up anyway. It doesn't matter when it started."
"What breakup? How can it be considered a breakup if I don't even agree? I was just too focused on playing the game and forgot about you. You girls are so stingy, and you humans are so unreasonable!" Upon hearing this, Youxi screamed in protest.
But, Youxi, are you itching for trouble? You boys are stingy, and you rabbits are unreasonable!
"All you do is play games. You like playing games so much, then why do you want to be with me?" Xi Ziqian got angry when she heard that. She put her hands on her hips, stood up and glared at Youxi. Youxi, who had been righteous, suddenly turned into a little rabbit who was in the wrong and shrank into the corner.
It seems that they borrowed the game console and developed into a couple after a few visits.
Hehe! I didn't expect that Xixi would fall into the hands of the beautiful boy Youxi.
"I like you so much, why can't I be with you?" Youxi said as a matter of course.
Is there something weird?
If a boy likes a girl very much, can the girl refuse him?
"You should just stay with the game console." Xi Ziqian was still furious and ignored Youxi.
Youxi could only ask me for help with grievance.
"Okay, okay! Youxi is stupid to begin with, so don't be angry with him! Besides, he knows he was wrong, right? I think you should have a romantic date to enhance your relationship with each other!" I smiled and pulled Xi Ziqian.
I know her too well. Her anger comes quickly and goes away quickly, but she is too stubborn to save face and will always be happy only if she can save face.
"What date?" Ino rushed up excitedly when he heard my proposal as soon as he entered the room, "Xiao Qian, how about we go together? It's a romantic date, there must be a lot of delicious food."
I was petrified instantly. This Ino is really a foodie. He is simply one-track-minded . Why should we, two big light bulbs, go to see a young couple going on a date?
I looked at Ino with disdain, he was still waiting for me to nod in agreement. In his world, besides "delicious food", is there anything else?
"This, this, and this...ah, take some of this too..." Ino smiled and moved almost all the potato chips on the shelf into the shopping cart.
Under Youxi's resentful eyes, I nodded guiltily and agreed to Ino, and Ino quickly pulled me to the supermarket. I suddenly thought of a phrase to describe this beautiful boy - a man like the wind!
"Xiao Qian, here, here, these drinks look delicious!" Ino looked at me, as attentive as a husky with its tongue sticking out.
"Actually, you don't need to take so much! There's a convenience store in the amusement park we're going to!" I looked at the childish Ino with a smile and tears in my eyes. I felt that he was like a child who hadn't been out of the house for a long time. When he saw this "big world" for the first time, he wanted to empty the entire supermarket.
"But I'm afraid they don't have these flavors there!" Ino pouted and looked at me coquettishly. Her pitiful look was irresistible.
"You young masters just love to spend money recklessly. You buy so much that you can't even finish it!" I nodded and allowed Ino to start "moving goods", but I couldn't help nagging.
"But these are Xiaoqian's favorites!" Ino suddenly looked at me affectionately and said seriously, his deep black pupils reflecting my stunned look.
I unconsciously looked down at the snacks and drinks in the shopping cart: barbecue-flavored potato chips, chocolate sandwich biscuits, wheat-flavored milk tea...these are really my favorites.
I always thought that Ino just happened to like these flavors, but it turns out he only picked the ones I like!
My mind began to search for the delicious food that Ino brought me every time. I remember that at first his lunch was fresh Japanese food. Later, I accidentally said, "I don't like salmon." Since then, I have never seen these "half-cooked" Japanese food in his lunch. Every time I went to the canteen to buy things during class breaks, he would always take a lot of snacks that I liked, open them one by one for me, and wait until I was full before he started to eat excitedly.
As I was thinking, my vision suddenly blurred, my eyes felt hot, and crystal tears welled up in my eye sockets. Ino's figure seemed to be shrouded in light, so dazzling.
It turns out that I have always made fun of Ino for being a foodie and a childish kid, but the real foodie and childish kid is me.
He is like those handsome young loyal servants from comics, and their master's preferences are everything to them. If I like to eat, he also likes to eat it , and if I don't like it, he won't touch it no matter how much he likes it.
Ino, what have I done to deserve your love? If you who love me so much disappear from my world one day, what will you do?
"Ah! Xiao Qian, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Is it because there are too many things and you feel it's too heavy to push? I was so careless that I was only concerned with picking up the things and didn't consider your feelings at all. Xiao Qian, don't cry, it's all my fault..."
Seeing me crying, Ino panicked and wiped my tears with his sleeves, blaming himself all the time.
Looking at such a gentle Ino, I cried even harder. Why was he so nice to me?
Why is there a small voice in my heart telling me that I will no longer be able to enjoy such tenderness?
