Chapter 4 He is a thorn in my heart 02
"Excuse me, can you lend me that for a moment?"
As the exam approached, the library was suddenly crowded.
Shen Chuxue looked at the group of people in confusion, and then she saw An Yannan sitting inside with an empty seat next to him, which must have been reserved for her.
Shen Chuxue had a terrible headache. Why was he so close to her? Was An Yannan doing this on purpose? Why did she feel like these people were looking at her? Was there something written on her face?
"An Yannan, is there something on my face?" She asked An Yannan as soon as she sat down.
An Yannan, who was reading the information in his hand, looked up at Shen Chuxue, then shook his head and said, "No."
An Yannan has spoken much less these days.
Shen Chuxue finally figured out what was going on from the whispers of the people around her. She closed her eyes and realized that it was all because of her...
Three days ago, Lin Jianluo suddenly stood on the playground during lunch break and confessed to Shen Chuxue. Shen Chuxue was standing next to An Yannan at the time. The two were still considering where to eat, but they were startled by Lin Jianluo. An Yannan looked at Shen Chuxue with a meaningful look, while Shen Chuxue looked at Lin Jianluo with a confused and calculating look.
These three people have three minds.
From that day on, Shen Chuxue hid at home for three days and didn't dare to come to school. She wasn't hiding from Lin Jianluo, but from those who were watching the show, like these people now. She tightened her hands under the table slightly, stomped her high heels on the tiles, and said helplessly: "You knew it a long time ago?"
An Yannan nodded.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? How can I continue watching this? Let's go, we don't want to watch it anymore." Shen Chuxue was a little angry. She hated the chattering of people around her, especially when they talked about her as the protagonist. She didn't have the talent for acting.
"Don't want to watch it anymore? Then go home?" An Yannan asked.
After thinking for a while, Shen Chuxue probably felt that there was no peace anywhere in the school, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go home directly. You don't have classes this afternoon?"
"Yeah, that's it."
What else could those people say? It was nothing more than that Shen Chuxue monopolized An Yannan, and it was not enough that she even asked Lin Jianluo to confess his love to her. Everyone could see Lin Jianluo's heart, which was very transparent. He just wanted to be with Shen Chuxue.
That day on the playground, Shen Chuxue turned around and left without saying a word, but An Yannan stood there and looked at Lin Jianluo for a long time.
She was avoiding him, but also playing hard to get.
Does she want to be with Lin Jianluo?
On the way home, a car stopped beside them, interrupting the silence of An Yannan and Shen Chuxue.
They all recognized that this was the car sent by An Wei to pick up An Cenxi from school.
Originally, An Wei meant that since they had a dedicated driver, the three of them should just go home together, but An Yannan was busy with student union affairs and often couldn't finish until the evening, and Shen Chuxue always said she had to review in the study room, and more often she would wait for An Yannan, and was used to the two of them coming home together. As for An Cenxi, he was just a freshman, and didn't have many classes, so he had much more time than the other two, so they rarely met on the road.
Shen Chuxue and An Yannan looked at each other, and An Cenxi spoke: "You came back very early today. If I had known that you could come home so early, we would have come back together! Sister Chuxue, you have been... very busy recently." An Cenxi's eyes were not very friendly.
Shen Chuxue recalled how she announced her love for Lin Jianluo at the dinner table. She suddenly smiled and said, "There are too many rumors in school recently. I am annoyed. It is better to... have a quiet home. Xixi, are you annoyed too?"
Even An Yannan could hear the deliberateness in Shen Chuxue's tone, so how could An Cenxi not hear it? An Cenxi stopped talking.
"Miss, are we leaving?" the driver asked. He had other things to do at the company.
An Cenxi glanced at the bicycle between the two people and said, "Then I'll leave first, Uncle Liu, let's go."
"good."
The car whizzed away, and Shen Chuxue nodded with a faint smile on her lips.
"Do you remember what I said to you on the first day you came to the An family?" An Yannan asked.
Shen Chuxue put the book in her arms into the bicycle basket, her tone light and nonchalant: "Let me not play tricks...what do you think I am here for from the An family? Money or people? If it's Li Qiuhuo, your aunt, forget it, I don't have that much time. My father is dead, what else can happen?" Shen Chuxue now talks about death very easily.
"I just know that one day you will become a thorn in the An family's side, no matter if it's my uncle or Xixi, no matter if you do well or not, you will definitely be the target of this family. I am reminding you."
Don't expect anything from a family like this, let alone an outsider...
The sun sets and the afterglow falls on their bodies. An Yannan is still wearing his beige coat, while Shen Chuxue is wearing a light grey top and a pair of high heels of the same colour.
S University is not far from our home, and we can walk back without feeling tired.
Shen Chuxue laughed: "Brother An Yannan, I know it without you telling me."
Originally, I thought An Cenxi would make a big fuss, but surprisingly , after returning to the An family, An Cenxi just chatted with Li Qiuhe on the sofa. They all talked about fun things at school and never mentioned the matter of Lin Jianluo and Shen Chuxue - even An Yannan was surprised.
In the evening, Shen Chuxue had a stomachache, so she did not go downstairs to eat and sat cross-legged on the carpet.
"Why are you sitting on the floor even though you have a stomachache? I might as well move the bed out for you! You can just sleep on the carpet!" An Yannan came in with a cup of hot water and saw Shen Chuxue lying on the ground, sweating profusely in pain.
Shen Chuxue rolled her eyes and said, "If you want me to die of pain, just say it! What's the tone of voice?"
"The tone of your voice is derogatory."
Shen Chuxue really didn't have the energy to mess around with An Yannan.
After drinking more than half a cup of hot water, she finally felt a little better. She took a long breath, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and was helped up by An Yannan to sit on the edge of the bed.
An Yannan actually came to this room more frequently. An Wei had never come in once, An Cenxi would not come unless he had nothing to do, and Li Qiuhe came often, but not as often as An Yannan. In this way, the relationship between the two of them in the entire An family was actually better.
Shen Chuxue attributed all this to the fact that both she and An Yannan were outsiders.
"Lin Jianluo is here."
Shen Chuxue really didn't expect Lin Jianluo to come to the An family. It was also thanks to An Yannan who warned Lin Jianluo not to knock on the door, otherwise something would happen - it was unknown whether An Cenxi's feelings for Lin Jianluo were true or false.
Shen Chuxue glared at An Yannan, and after a long silence, she said, "An Yannan, did you do this on purpose?"
"Not really. Do you remember when you were seriously ill? You called out Lin Jianluo's name, and I thought you wanted to see him."
She certainly couldn't remember what she said when she was seriously ill. Shen Chuxue rubbed her forehead, feeling less painful, and walked out of the room.
Thanks to everyone else who has returned to their rooms...
"Why are you here so late? Won't you be locked out when you return to the dormitory later?" Shen Chuxue put on her coat and went out. She started scolding Lin Jianluo the first time she saw him.
Lin Jianluo said, "My dad has been on a business trip these days, so my mom takes me home to live with her every day. It's okay, I just came to see you."
Look at her? What are you looking at?
She turned around and looked at the outer wall of the An family's house. None of the windows she could see from here could open her heart. Shen Chuxue said, "There's nothing to see. This is someone else's home. You should go back quickly. It's cold."
When it comes to Lin Jianluo, Shen Chuxue always feels inexplicably moved yet distant.
Staring at the figure that was walking away, a voice suddenly appeared in my ears: "In fact, if you treat Lin Jianluo better, he might be able to take you away from here. Even if you want to escape, you always have to choose someone to travel with you."
An Yannan appeared behind Shen Chuxue at some point. The door was ajar, and the warmth coming from the house did not melt the ice on Shen Chuxue's face at all.
"Escape? Forget it. I'm fine this way."
