Chapter 381 I Like You
That night.
Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.
Girls dormitory corridor.
"Ah? Are you sure he pulled it out and not you?!"
Yan Wenwen screamed on the phone, and Yu Yu held the phone farther away from his ear.
"Well...he pulled it out."
"Oh my god, helping you to remove the thorns, isn't that like holding your hand? Oh, so romantic, gazing at you lovingly, blaming you coldly, woman, how can you be so careless..."
Yu Yu knew that Yan Wenwen had read too many CEO articles and her mind was full of weird things, so he just pursed his lips and ignored her.
"What happened next? What happened next?" Yan Wenwen continued to ask curiously, wishing she were in Hangzhou right now.
"Nothing else, just row the boat back, then...eat, and go back to the dormitory..."
"This is nothing!" Yan Wenwen said excitedly, "Think about it carefully, isn't this something only college lovers would do?"
“Don’t, don’t talk nonsense about Wenwen…” Yu Yu’s tone became obviously nervous, “If you continue like this… I will ignore you in the future…”
"Okay, okay, please spare me, Miss Yu." Yan Wenwen said with a smile.
Then he was silent for a long time before speaking softly.
"Xiao Yu, after so many years, you really just..."
"You, you're saying this again... I, I'm hanging up..."
This time, Yan Wenwen did not compromise as she did before.
"Okay, hang up, hang up, then we won't be friends anymore."
“…”
Yu Yu didn't know why she suddenly became so angry and felt a little at a loss.
Yan Wenwen said in a very serious and earnest tone.
"Xiao Yu, you know what? I've known one thing for a long time. In this life, you will never fall in love with any other boy except Xu Cheng."
"I……"
Yu Yu tried to explain something but was interrupted by Yan Wenwen.
"It's no use telling me. You know what you think."
Yan Wenwen's words struck Yu Yu's heart again and again.
For a long time, she never faced up to her relationship with Xu Cheng.
She only knew that she was afraid of losing the boy and was always dependent on him. Whenever he appeared, she would feel very happy and blessed.
So this is... like?
Yu Yu felt a little weak. She slowly squatted on the ground with her back against the wall. Her inky black hair was draped in front of her face, hiding her expression.
As if to give Yu Yu some time to think, Yan Wenwen remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, her voice came from the phone again, much gentler than before.
"I know you have concerns, and I know you are afraid..."
"But I have been hesitating for so many years. How long do I have to wait?"
"Do you know how quickly the adult world can drift apart?"
"How long can you keep deceiving yourself like this?"
"Even if you don't want any results, even if it's very selfish, at least try to tell him once."
“…”
Yu Yu listened to her words quietly, his beautiful eyes flashing continuously.
At least try to tell him once...
This made Yu Yu feel an emotion that appeared for the first time in his life - impulsiveness.
But the excitement was only brief and he soon calmed down.
Tell him?
How can such a thing...
The girl felt as if there was a huge mountain pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
On the other end of the phone, Yan Wenwen was still speaking with a look of disappointment.
"He can come to Hangzhou once, will he come a second or third time..."
Yu Yu spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Stop talking, Wenwen..."
"I'm a little tired today..."
Yan Wenwen knew that she was feeling uncomfortable and also realized that she had been a little impulsive today.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, you...you should get some rest. I'm hanging up now."
"Um……"
A hang-up notification tone popped up on the phone.
The lonely corridor was somewhat dark.
Yu Yu buried his head in the tender arms.
A pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes were now filled with mist, flashing trembling fragments of light under the dim light.
Compared to her brilliant and bright self under the tree during the day, she was obviously extremely lonely at this moment.
Yu Yu suddenly remembered that sentence -
Long-term acquaintance will not gradually become love, just like the weather every day in winter. You can't add today's temperature to yesterday's temperature to wait for it to accumulate into a warm day tomorrow.
At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang. Yu Yu picked it up and looked at the screen. It showed that it was a call from Xu Cheng.
As if she was afraid of discovering some secret, she took a few quick deep breaths, stood up again and answered the phone.
"……Hello."
"You have a cold?"
Xu Cheng was very perceptive and could tell that the girl's voice was a little hoarse. "Is it because the lake was too cold this afternoon?"
Yu Yu quickly coughed twice to clear his throat.
"I... don't have a cold. I was afraid to disturb my roommates, so I kept my voice down..."
"Is that so? Then remember to drink some hot water to warm your body at night."
"oh."
Yu Yu nodded as if he was communicating with him face to face, and then asked.
"You called... is there something?"
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm going back to the Magic City tomorrow, so I called to say goodbye to you."
"To-tomorrow..."
The girl's voice suddenly became tense.
She wanted to say something to keep Xu Cheng, but she opened her mouth several times and no words came out.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Cheng thought she was angry, so he explained.
"I'm sorry, Yu Yu, there's something in Yanjing that I need to take care of, so I have to go there."
"……I see."
Yu Yu replied softly, "What time are you leaving?"
"The flight is at 2pm."
"Then I...then I'll take you there tomorrow."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, the girl felt a little depressed.
She suddenly remembered the law of conservation of energy that she had learned before.
Have I been too happy these days, and now I have to make up for it with the same unhappiness to maintain a state of conservation.
After washing up with a messy head, she had a hard time falling asleep in bed, as Yan Wenwen's voice kept lingering in her mind.
At least try to tell him.
…
A night passed.
After getting up, Xu Cheng simply washed up and began to pack his luggage.
As I was packing, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, the person standing outside was naturally Yu Yu.
She was still wearing the beautiful floral dress today, but this style of dressing was very different from the one Xu Cheng knew her to be.
"I'm already dressed, come in."
After hearing Xu Cheng's voice, Yu Yu took a long time to confirm whether Xu Cheng had put on his clothes or just his clothes.
Finally, after thinking about it, it seemed that boys would never wear just a big T-shirt to cover their whole body like girls. At most, they would just wear pants without a top. Then, I pushed the door open and went in.
"I bought you breakfast." She lifted the plastic bag in her hand.
I glanced at Xu Cheng, who was squatting on the ground and was fully armed, and I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, thank you. I'll fold these clothes."
Because the weather in Yanjing is much colder than in the south, Xu Cheng found a few relatively thick clothes and refolded the clothes in the suitcase.
Yu Yu also came over at this time, squatted beside him, and took two pieces to help him fold them.
Xu Cheng just smiled.
"You are quite virtuous, Yu Yu. Whoever marries you in the future will be very blessed."
When the girl heard the talk of getting married, her face turned red.
She was thinking about other things and picked up a loose piece of cloth in a daze. She folded it twice, took a closer look and found that it was a pair of large shorts. Her little hand loosened its grip in an instant and her face became even redder than before.
"Oh, I can do this myself." Xu Cheng said after seeing it.
The girl felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cover her eyes, and felt a little resentful in her heart.
Hate, hate...
Why do you still bring it up?
After packing the last bit of clothes, Xu Cheng sat on the bed and ate the buns that Yu Yu brought.
The custard buns are sweet and soft, with a crispy outer skin. When you bite into them, you'll find a crystal clear golden glutinous rice ball inside.
"Your cafeteria breakfast is quite delicious."
Yu Yu sat on the other side, watching him eat quietly, as if she would never get tired of such a scene.
She suddenly felt very strange. Her bad mood throughout the night disappeared the moment Xu Cheng opened the door.
"Yu Yu, I won't be leaving until the afternoon anyway. Is there any fun place we can go and play for a while?"
"ah?"
Yu Yu looked embarrassed.
It was already late, and as for the places she had thought of before, they all seemed a bit far from school and too tight in terms of time .
"Just stay nearby. If it's too far away, we won't have enough time." Xu Cheng also reminded at this time.
The girl thought for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable place. After all, she was not very familiar with the area around the school.
He asked tentatively with a bitter face.
"Would you like to go around our school?"
"sure."
Xu Cheng agreed easily.
After eating the buns and wiping their mouths, the two of them stepped into the gate of Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts together again.
The environment of Yu Yu School is quite good and beautiful, and the scenery is even not inferior to some scenic spots.
It is the season when sweet osmanthus is fragrant, white silver osmanthus, yellow golden osmanthus, red osmanthus, yellow and white purple osmanthus, light white bay laurel...
The fragrance of various osmanthus flowers permeates the campus.
A man and a woman were walking quietly and leisurely on the flower petals scattered on the ground.
"If I could smell the fragrance of these flowers every day during class, I'd probably feel much better," Xu Cheng sighed.
Yu Yu listened to him carefully.
To be honest, before today, she had never paid much attention to the fragrance of the flowers, and had not noticed that the petals of osmanthus flowers were already scattered all over the campus.
"I heard from my senior that... the fragrance of osmanthus can last until winter..." the girl said softly.
"Really?" Xu Cheng was surprised. He reached out and picked up a leaf, fiddling with it in his hand.
Yu Yu was watching nearby.
At this moment, she suddenly thought, it would be great if she could smell such floral fragrance with Xu Cheng in winter.
But soon, she was frightened by her own bold idea.
What are you thinking about!
The girl was a little annoyed, but she raised her eyes unconsciously and looked in the direction of Xu Cheng, watching him playing with a leaf with interest.
Standing there, it seemed like I could stand there forever until winter.
At least try to tell him...
Yan Wenwen's voice flashed through the girl's mind again at this time. She was stunned for a long time before she saw Xu Cheng waving at her.
"What are you daydreaming about? Why did you suddenly stop here and not move forward?"
"No, nothing."
Yu Yu was a little flustered.
The two continued walking forward and came to a green space by the lake. Many men and women were sitting there chatting in private. Xu Cheng was a little tired, so he pulled Yu Yu to sit down here and enjoy the scenery by the lake.
"Can you fish in your school?" He looked at the old man fishing by the lake and was eager to try it himself.
"Can."
Yu Yu nodded, "But if you catch something... you have to put it back into the lake."
“I see.”
Xu Cheng was sitting there, and Yu Yu felt a little nervous at this time.
You should know that this green space is called the school's Lover's Hill.
She and Xu Cheng were sitting here, and in the eyes of others, who knows what their identities were.
"It's getting late, we should get ready to leave."
Xu Cheng patted his butt and stood up, then extended his hand to Yu Yu in a gentlemanly manner to pull her up.
Yu Yu hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to stand up by himself.
Xu Cheng quickly took the initiative to grab her wrist.
"Silly, you'll be exposed if you stand up on your own."
He glanced down the girl's skirt.
Yu Yu's face turned red, as if he could see something through her skirt and safety pants.
But it's better to be cautious.
But she knew that some perverts like Xu Cheng... would even wear safety pants.
The airport was quite far away, so the two had to take the subway for a long time. It was not until they got off the subway and arrived at the airport with its international atmosphere that Yu Yu felt reluctant to leave.
My heart feels like a banquet is coming to an end.
In this strange city, she always felt like a duckweed, and when the water rushed, she was swirled along with it.
It was Xu Cheng's arrival that made her feel like she was starting to take root and get used to this city.
Once he is gone, what will she be?
Xu Cheng took the boarding pass, glanced at the security check area, then turned around and looked at Yu Yu.
"Then I'll leave first."
"Whoa whoa."
Yu Yu nodded blankly, his eyes full of anxiety.
She watched him wave his hand and turn away.
At least try to tell him...
This sentence appeared in my mind again.
Feeling as if he had lost something important, Yu Yu took a few steps forward and grabbed Xu Cheng's sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Xu Cheng turned around.
What he was facing was Yu Yu’s extremely nervous expression.
She looked at him with flickering eyes, her chest rising and falling, and she kept breathing in and out through her nose and mouth.
At least try to tell him.
This time.
At least try to tell him.
Yu Yu took a deep breath.
"I……"
As soon as I opened my mouth with just one word, it was as if I had been shattered, as if I had no strength left in my body.
“I, I…”
"I……"
“…”
She didn't know why, but hot beads of water began to appear in the corners of her eyes. The girl instinctively rubbed them away with her hands, but she rubbed them away again and again, but it seemed like she could never wipe them away.
Her life was all darkness.
She is a whale that can only make sounds at 52 Hz.
It was the applause of only one hand.
But one day he appeared in front of her.
It was like a redemption, and from then on her life began to have color.
The boy in front of me has become blurry.
But the girl did not lower her head and continued to stare.
I like you.
I have liked you for many years.
She wanted to open her mouth and tell him this.
But I can't tell.
She could only keep wiping her eyes and repeating the word "I" with sobs.
The following words could no longer be said.
Maybe she at 52 Hz...
Are you destined to be lonely?
She slowly squatted down and hugged herself weakly.
It's like I can no longer sense anything else.
I am the only one left in the world, and everything around me seems to become blurry.
Just when she was in a daze, her face was gently lifted up by someone.
The girl's blurry eyes became clear again after being wiped by the man.
My vision becomes bright again.
In front of me was Xu Cheng’s cheek.
His smile was as warm as the spring breeze.
The sun shines through the dome of the airport.
There was also a brilliant and warm light shining above his head.
"I know."
He said in her ear.
