Chapter 4: Love is all about giving, only hope that love will not be in vain
After class, Ye Bihan kept hesitating and didn't say anything. The more I looked at her, the more I felt something was wrong: "Xiao Han, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so shy?"
Seeing that I had noticed something was wrong, she stopped trying to hide it: "It's been a few days since Yi Dan's accident, and he's almost recovered recently. What do you think? Should we treat him to a meal as an apology? Otherwise, I'll always feel like I owe him something..."
I looked at her hesitant look and couldn't help laughing: "That's it?"
Seeing that I didn't have a strong reaction, Ye Bihan immediately relaxed: "That's it."
"I thought you had something terrible that you didn't dare to tell me. It's just a small matter. What's the problem? Although he was wrong at the beginning, I did push him down, so he should apologize."
Ye Bihan hesitated for a moment, and continued: "You had such a big opinion about Yi Dan before, and... and Mo Xiyi's attitude at that time was indeed... So, I think you probably don't want to go."
"Why don't you want to go? It's all in the past, and I've forgotten what Mo Xiyi said at the time. It doesn't matter."
It was not until I met Mo Xiyi that I truly understood what it meant to say one thing and mean another.
"Then I'll tell you after I decide on the time and place. Don't be a deserter then."
I raised my eyebrows and said, "What a joke! When have I ever been a deserter? Besides, how can I feel at ease leaving you alone with him?"
Ye Bihan and I agreed to meet at Alan Restaurant at the north gate of the school at 6 o'clock. It was already 6 o'clock when I came out of the library, and I arrived ten minutes late. From the window of the restaurant, I saw Ye Bihan and Yi Dan who were waiting for me. I vaguely saw someone sitting next to Yi Dan, but I couldn't see clearly who it was because they were blocked.
I walked in carelessly, skipping and jumping, waved to Ye Bihan, and said in a loud voice: "I'm late, I was too focused on my studies and didn't check the time..."
My sight slid and stopped on a boy who was sitting upright. I was stunned at first, then turned my head to look at Ye Bihan. I asked her a hundred thousand questions with my eyes.
Why is he here too? Isn’t he here to invite Yi Dan to dinner? What does it have to do with Mo Xiyi?
Ye Bihan and I have always been in tune with each other, but today he was simply an idiot, the worst of all idiots.
"Qingtong, what's wrong with your eyes? Is there sand in them?"
I really wanted to go up and throw her out.
"Ah... my eyes are a little uncomfortable. Have you ordered? I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."
Sitting opposite this great man, I really felt very uncomfortable. Yi Dan kept talking to Xiao Han, and Mo Xi and I felt very awkward. No, I don’t know whether he was embarrassed or not, I just knew that I was so embarrassed that I felt like I was about to fall to the ground.
Our magnetic fields are really incompatible.
He must be born to be my nemesis.
In order to hide my embarrassment, I reached out to take the tea from Ye Bihan.
"Are you still angry about what happened last time?" Mo Xiyi's voice.
The moment he spoke, my hand holding the teapot was scalded, and I fell down on the seat and almost sprained my waist.
"Ouch--"
Now the atmosphere was finally calm and everyone started looking at me.
"Just tell me if you want some water, I'll pour it for you. Don't be anxious, you're just too impatient." Yi Dan's words seemed to be comforting me, but in fact, they were full of stings, and I felt uncomfortable listening to them.
And Mo Xiyi's words "Still angry about what happened last time" were interrupted. Maybe they didn't hear this sentence, but I heard it very clearly, even now it seems to be echoing in my ears over and over again.
Ye Bihan looked at me with a strange look, probably because she noticed that something was wrong with me today. I avoided her gaze and deliberately didn't look at her, so she didn't ask any more questions.
The awkward situation was not resolved until the waiter came.
"Hello, can we order now?"
"Can!"
The waiter was amused by my loud voice and smiled. I took the menu and covered most of my face with it.
After I ordered, I handed the menu to Ye Bihan. This guy politely rejected me: "Yidan, you order first, I will order last."
Yi Dan was flattered: "No, no, ladies first." Ye Bihan still stuffed the menu into his hand. He smiled embarrassedly, and after ordering, he handed it to Mo Xiyi.
They were so polite to each other that I seemed to be the most impolite. I felt very uncomfortable sitting there.
After all the dishes were served, Ye Bihan picked up the teacup and toasted Yi Dan with tea instead of wine: "No fight, no acquaintance. I'm really sorry for what happened last time. We didn't mean it."
Yi Dan must have been very happy: "If I could get to know you by falling like this, I would have done it a long time ago. It's worth it. I have to thank Cheng Qingtong. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have this meal today."
I said vaguely: "Don't thank me, this is all the result of your own efforts. I am just a catalyst that speeds up the chemical reaction."
At this time, Mo Xi started talking, and his eyes were looking straight at me. It was obvious that he was directed at me. It was not right for me to look at him, nor was it right for me not to look at him. I clenched my hands together and didn't know where to put them.
Mo Xi's eyes were gentle, and his voice was light, clear and transparent: "I spoke a little harshly that day, I'm sorry."
He was usually arrogant and serious, but suddenly he made a 360-degree change. My little heart couldn't accept it for a moment and I was stunned. Ye Bihan pushed me with her elbow and then I reacted.
"Oh. That's not a big deal. I forgot about it a long time ago. Well, I'll go out for a while. You guys eat first." I left under the pretext of going to the bathroom, and Ye Bihan followed me.
She smiled wickedly and went straight to the point: "Cheng Qingtong, do you like Mo Xiyi? Tell the truth."
I turned my head to look at her. Her direct question made it difficult for me to fool her, so I had to tell her honestly: "It seems so. Whenever I see him, I feel so insignificant. In front of him, I am like a dwarf and have to look up at him all the time. But... I still feel particularly heartbroken... I always think of him..." My voice became smaller and weaker.
Ye Bihan nodded and said with great certainty: "It is obvious that you are already terminally ill and have fallen in love with him."
"Xiao Han, what should I do? He never even looked at me straight in the eye. Besides, the impression I left on him is probably irreversible."
"Then do you have the heart to just give up and let him go?"
"Of course... no."
"Then chase them!"
Then chase it.
These three words sound so easy to say, but when I become the protagonist, it is harder than climbing to the sky.
Finally, it was the end and the show was about to end. Yi Dan reached out to grab Ye Bihan, but I blocked his hand and caught it in mid-air. Then I chatted with Ye Bihan, and the whole action was smooth and coherent without any flaws. When I turned around inadvertently, I saw Mo Xiyi's secretly smiling expression.
It was just a smile so shallow that it was almost invisible, but I actually felt that the meal tonight was not in vain.
So, to love someone means to be content just by seeing him smile.
So Yi Dan said goodbye to us awkwardly, and I took Ye Bihan's arm and went back to the dormitory.
I was feeling very upset at noon, so I played a game to vent. When I saw Cai Qihang online, I mentioned Mo Xiyi to him.
I am a female hero: Xiaocai, tell me quickly, what should I do if I have a crush on someone?
A piece of cake: Oh? The heroine is also in love? But the last time I saw you, you said you didn't have a boyfriend.
I am a female warrior: Brother, I don’t have one now, I just have a crush on someone!
A head suddenly popped out from behind me. It was Ye Bihan. After watching me and "A Piece of Cake" talking, she took a bite of an apple and said indifferently, "You call that a secret crush? Everyone in the world who knows you can see that you like Mo Xiyi. Your secret crush is too obvious."
I turned around and glared at her, and she walked away tactfully. I continued to do consulting work with Cai Qihang.
He almost told me the same story about how he tried hard to pursue his girlfriend, telling me that I can't wait for opportunities, because once I wait, they will be gone forever.
I made an excuse that I had something to do and logged off.
In the end, I didn't muster up the courage.
Student Union President!
President of the literature club!
And I have a rival as strong as Wenrou, how can I start...
It was fine during the day, but at night I felt like I was given a shot of chicken blood. I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. My mind was full of Mo Xiyi's outstanding face.
Normally, Ye Bihan has to call me three times before I respond.
"Xiao Han! I feel like I'm poisoned."
"Forget it, I think you are seriously ill..."
…
Three minutes passed.
"Xiao Han! Do you think Mo Xi would look better if he didn't wear black and white clothes but something brighter?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen it..."
"Is there any need to look at this? President Mo can no longer be described as handsome. Of course, he is extremely handsome, off the charts, and extremely handsome..."
A flock of crows flew across the sky.
Maybe Ye Bihan was worried that I would get sick from staying at school, so she kept urging me to go home and relax on weekends.
So I took her home with me. We share the good times and the bad times.
As soon as I walked to the door of my house , I smelled the aroma of pork ribs. Ye Bihan went in happily to help my mother, but I, on the other hand, sat on the sofa at home and began to daydream.
"Hey, when you get home you don't even bother to help in the kitchen. Instead you let Xiao Han do the work. Go wash your hands and get the dishes!"
"oh."
My mother was probably shocked by my submissive attitude and looked at Ye Bihan strangely.
Ye Bi covered it vaguely: "Auntie, ignore her, I'll get it for you."
During the meal, they were the only ones chatting back and forth, showing their deep love for each other, and I was the extra one.
"mom!"
I was eating the rice in the bowl like a zombie without saying a word . Suddenly, I called out "Mom", interrupting the conversation between the two.
"I'm so scared. You don't even say hello before you speak. Who did you learn this noise from?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Bihan burst out laughing.
I swallowed the rice and asked seriously, "Mom, are there any ribs in the pot?"
"There are plenty, don't worry, just eat slowly."
"Well... no need, I'm full. I just want to take some to school and eat slowly..."
On the way back, I kept holding the lunch box in my hands. Ye Bihan stared at my lunch box many times.
I saw that she held back every time she wanted to ask, and before she could ask, I couldn't hold it back any longer: "I was going to bring these ribs to Mo Xiyi. His mother has been ill for many years, so she definitely can't make such delicious ribs. I think he probably hasn't had home-cooked meals for a long time, so I took the initiative to bring them to him."
Seeing that I said it all in one breath, Xiao Han stopped hiding it: "Cheng Qingtong, go and confess your feelings. Since you really like him so much, you should let him know. Whether he can accept it or not, he has the right to know."
Although the ribs were for him, after I brought them back to the dormitory, I still didn't have the courage to give them to him.
It's just a home-cooked meal, will he accept it?
Maybe he won't accept it at all, and even scold me instead.
I am just an ordinary girl, will he like me?
I think compared to gentleness, I am even more insignificant.
I held the box of spare ribs and sat on the bed almost all night. The next day, my eye bags were frighteningly big, and my dark circles were comparable to those of a national treasure. Ye Bihan was yawning when she saw me, and after seeing me, she almost couldn't close her mouth.
I jumped out of bed and took a deep breath. "I've decided. I'm going to confess my feelings to Mo Xi tomorrow. I checked his schedule. He doesn't have classes tomorrow morning."
Ye Bihan was stunned, probably not realizing what I had just said. She looked down at my lunch box, and the spareribs inside were already empty.
Obviously, I was thinking too much last night and using my brain too much, so I was hungry, and then, I ate it.
She then nodded and paced back and forth in front of me: "You have potential, I am optimistic about you, don't worry, I stand behind you and support you. Even if you are rejected on the spot, you can always lean on my shoulder."
"Bah! What an unlucky thing to say. You're already thinking of rejecting me before I even start. Can you give me some strength?"
Ye Bihan apologized repeatedly: "I was wrong, I was wrong. Do you need me to help you with anything? Just tell me!"
"You don't have to worry about the confession, but I need you to ask him out to the playground, because... I'm not sure I can ask him out." I touched my forehead embarrassedly. It was indeed a bit embarrassing that I wanted to confess my love but couldn't even ask the person to confess to out.
Ye Bihan patted his chest and said, "This is easy to deal with. I'll leave it to Yi Dan. He will definitely be able to handle it. If he can't, we'll end our relationship."
Afterwards, I called Cai Qihang again. When he heard that I was going to confess my feelings, he was even more excited than I was. He insisted on coming to cheer me up so that I could concentrate on my preparations.
It was also because of the encouragement from so many people that I made up my mind not to be a coward and to tell him my thoughts clearly.
This is how I arranged things. My heart has been in my throat since early this morning. From childhood to adulthood, I have never been so serious about anything, nor have I ever been so nervous.
Mo Xiyi, do you know that there was someone in this world who couldn't sleep because of you?
Mo Xiyi, do you know that your existence once made a person full of hope?
Later, Yi Dan told me about what happened that day. He told me that he tricked Mo Xiyi into coming to the playground to play basketball with him, and Mo Xiyi didn't notice it at all. I wanted to confess my feelings to him that day.
After two consecutive nights of insomnia, I got out of bed early and washed my face with cold water to wake myself up. I put on the white gauze dress that Ye Bihan bought for me, put on some light makeup, and went to the playground to wait for him with a lot of words in my mind, my dear, Mo Xiyi.
The appointment time was 9 o'clock. I arrived half an hour early. There were many people running and exercising on the playground. I became more and more nervous. It would be so embarrassing if I was rejected.
Although I came with a lot to say, I never thought about the outcome. It seemed that being rejected was something I expected. Even if I thought more, there was no other possibility. I might as well not think about it, and be more carefree.
The bright sun moved westward again, it was a quarter past nine.
Two figures appeared in my sight, the one wearing white sportswear was Mo Xiyi, and the one in gray was Yi Dan.
Yi Dan waved to me with Mo Xi on his back. I understood what he meant, and then I saw Ye Bihan, Cai Qihang and others coming.
The flickering dots in my eyes gradually condensed, and only he was left - Mo Xiyi.
He slapped the basketball and ran in the opposite direction of me. I gathered my courage and shouted his name in his direction: "Moxi--"
He looked back.
"Moxiyi!"
He stopped and held the basketball in his hands.
Many people around me were shocked by my powerful roar of the Hedong Lion, and they all ran to watch the fun. At this moment, I heard a roar in my ears, and I could no longer hear any sound. The voices of discussion were like receding waves, and were gradually drowned out by the uneasiness in my heart.
He walked towards me slowly, his brows slightly furrowed, his bright eyes showing curiosity. I looked deep into his pupils, and it was pitch black, still without any temperature. The sun stretched his shadow, coating his pure white sportswear with a thin layer of gold. He - Moshiyi, walked towards me slowly, shining brightly.
Later, I forgot many details of that day.
For example, what I wore that day; what I said; the smell on him; his answer.
But I will never forget him, the glowing man, who walked towards me at that time.
Bright, energetic, sunny.
"Mo Xiyi, I like you!"
I just said one sentence, and there was an uproar around me. He stood in front of me, motionless, just looking at me thoughtfully. I had to say everything I wanted to say in one go: "I liked you from the first time I saw you. But at that time, I thought... it was just a chance encounter, and I was lucky to meet a handsome guy. But later, I saw you again in the school's literature club. Although I caused you some trouble, we knew each other after all, and then..."
I raised my head from lowering it the whole time and glanced at him. His brows furrowed even deeper and his heart suddenly began to beat wildly. He could only lower his head again and continued, "Later, I ran into you in the hospital and got to know you better by chance. It was probably from that time that you always appeared in my mind, no matter how hard I tried to get rid of you."
Everyone in the audience fell silent, no one spoke, and they all seemed to be waiting for me to continue telling my story.
"When I saw you walking with Wenrou, I became more certain that I had really let you into my heart. Mo Xiyi, can you accept me?"
When I finished the last sentence, I had almost exhausted all my courage and strength. The people off the field cheered, and I saw Ye Bihan's encouraging eyes towards me, and I felt much more at ease.
He held the basketball in one hand and put the other hand in his trouser pocket. He raised his head and looked at me. His slightly sad eyes immediately disturbed my heart and I wanted to run away.
Then, he put away all his expressions and said the answer word by word: "I never believe in love. If you like me, then just be friends. Maybe you can wait until that day."
I never believed in love.
If you like me, let's be friends.
Maybe you can wait until that day.
Then he threw the basketball aside and turned away.
The figure gradually blurred, leaving only the basketball hitting the ground for the last time.
Until he walked away, until everyone had dispersed, until only Xiaohan was left by my side, I bent down and let the tears flow.
Maybe I was very tired, so I looked up and asked, "Xiao Han, what was the last thing Mo Xiyi said?"
Ye Bihan: "He said he wanted to be friends with you. Maybe you can wait until that day."
"So, I still have a chance, right?"
Ye Bihan was stunned. She probably didn't expect me to ask this. She nodded reluctantly. I wiped my tears and stood up: "Since there is a glimmer of hope, I, Cheng Qingtong, will never give up."
Probably from that day on, almost the whole world knew that I liked Moshiyi, and I once again topped the hot list of the forum and became a hot topic for everyone after dinner.
Since I was willing to risk my dignity and confess my feelings for him in front of everyone, and was rejected, I've already lost face, so what could be more terrifying?
The important thing is that we can't lose face.
In the end, winning back the beautiful man's heart is the most important thing.
The literature club became my second home again. I would run over there whenever I had nothing to do and hang out with Mo Xiyi. And this time, I was the legitimate "dog-skin plaster". Almost every time the members of the literature club saw me, they would take the initiative to tell me where Mo Xiyi was, whether he was here today, or when he would come. It was as if the whole world was helping me to pursue him.
Thinking of this, I am actually quite happy. After all, my efforts have not been in vain. I have won the support of the majority of young people, which is also a great achievement for me.
Later, Mo Xi and I never mentioned the confession of that day, as if what happened that day never existed. In front of him, I always appeared as a friend, and when he didn't know, I could like him quietly and give him warmth deep in my heart.
As a "girl who has just started to fall in love" who has never been in love, she started to revolve around Mo Xiyi and revolved around him every day before she fell in love.
For example, fetching water for him. You will see a cute girl waiting downstairs every day, watching him come out with the thermos, then happily running up, grabbing the thermos and running away...
For example, I would serve him food. I would go to the cafeteria where he went, look for him everywhere, and after I found him, I would grab the plate and serve him the cafeteria's special dishes today...
For example, I borrowed books from the library for him, took care of the chores of the literature club for him, and sorted out the documents in his office for him...
In other words, I became his personal nanny, taking care of everything, big or small, that I could.
I enjoy doing these things, but the person involved can no longer bear it.
Mo Xi crossed his arms and looked disgusted: "Cheng Qingtong, look at my hands."
I was stunned: "What's wrong with your hand? Isn't your hand fine?"
"You still know that my hands are still there! Then you help me serve tea and water every day and treat me like a disabled person!" It was almost a roar. Since I knew him, I have never seen him make such a loud noise.
My heart skipped a beat. It was all over. This time he must be really angry.
I smiled sheepishly, "Hey, I see you're busy. There are so many student union activities and the literature club has so many things to do. Don't I have to share some of the burden for you so that you don't get distracted?"
"Who wants you to share the burden? Only if you share it will I be distracted!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
Although I was scolded by him harshly, I was already satisfied that he took the initiative to talk to me.
When I returned to the dormitory, I was so happy that I jumped onto Ye Bihan's bed and started telling her my story of the day.
Ye Bihan's face darkened as she listened, and in the end she threw the pillow at my face: "Cheng Qingtong, do you have a brain? You are so happy when someone scolds you."
"But he took the initiative to talk to me! This is very important. This is a milestone in my life!"
"Cheng Qingtong..." After she called my name, she sighed softly and shook her head, "Qingtong, things have come to this point, and there should be a result. Mo Xiyi has no feelings for you at all, and he is famous for his arrogance. What will happen if you continue to be humble!"
I understood what Ye Bihan said. After listening to her analysis, my heart sank. But before I could cool down, I quickly encouraged myself.
"Xiao Han, I don't want to give up. Maybe you see him as a cold person who can only analyze problems rationally but not emotionally. But, he actually has another side, his father..." Then I began to talk endlessly, telling the only stories I knew about him with emotion, sometimes sad, sometimes happy, sometimes full of hope, sometimes humble and lost...
In other words, to put it nicely, it felt like I was writing and directing a play; to put it bluntly, I was chattering away like a lunatic.
Ye Bi turned around and got out of bed, carrying the basin to wash up. I still remember the helplessness on her face.
However, the real conflict with Ye Bihan was caused by a war over a gift.
I almost gave up eating in order to save money to buy Moxiyi a birthday present.
A few days ago, I was shopping with Ye Bihan, and I dragged her to the men's clothing area. If I hadn't been looking at her, I would have been killed by her eyes.
Ye Bihan: "Qingtong, the person who is shopping with you is a girl, not a man! What do you mean by dragging me to look at men's clothing? Do you want to be a transgender person?"
I hesitated and blushed a little: "Isn't it my 'boyfriend's' birthday coming up? I want to give him a gift. As you know, he is the president of the student union and he always attends some formal occasions. How can he do without a decent tie..."
In fact, I don’t really know how to choose a tie for a boy. What kind is suitable for him, what kind is not old-fashioned, and what kind is high-end. I don’t know anything. I just went there with full of enthusiasm, wanting to choose a gift and want him to wear my gift to appear in big and small occasions.
I pulled her into another men's clothing brand store and looked around happily but at a loss, not noticing that Ye Bihan's face had already turned pale.
"Xiao Han, come and take a look at this." I pulled up a tie with a dark blue background and white stripes.
Ye Bihan didn't look at the tie seriously . Instead, she turned it over and glanced at the price tag. Then she pulled me out of the store and said bluntly, "This tie costs more than a thousand. Is this the reason why you've been eating instant noodles in two meals recently? Cheng Qingtong, I have no objection to you loving him and pursuing him, but you've even ignored your own health for him. Do you think it's worth it?"
I was stunned. It turned out that she was angry with me because of this matter: "Xiao Han, I am not neglecting my health. Look, I am as strong as a bull!" I breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at her overly worried expression, "Okay, okay, come and help me see if it looks good or not!"
"Cheng Qingtong, do you have any brains? I don't like you at all!"
Do you have any brains at all?
People don't like you at all.
Ye Bihan waved her hand and left me. I stood there for a moment, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
The store clerk came out and kindly asked me if I needed to see it again. I shook my head and left in a very depressed mood.
It turns out that hurting someone is so easy.
Recently, I have been like a fool, humble to the dust, doing everything I can think of for him, even if people in front of me talk about it, but after all, they are not important people and can't hurt me at all. But now, even Ye Bihan feels that it is useless to persist. A big pillar in my heart suddenly collapsed, and my blood suddenly became cold.
When I walked out of the mall, the autumn wind was blowing and it was a bit chilly, but I didn't notice it when I came in.
I glanced at my phone. I had said good night to you last night. From the moment I sent the message, I had been checking my phone every three minutes until it was late at night, when I was exhausted and drowsy.
There has been no response until now.
A one-man show is just my one-man show.
In the following days, Ye Bihan was unwilling to pay attention to me. To sum it up with what my mother often said: I am so disappointed in you.
So, I went from only having to please one person in the past to now having to please two people.
"Ye Bihan, do you want to eat some pancakes? I'll go downstairs and buy some for you!"
"Xiao Han, I'm going to do the laundry. If you have any dirty clothes, I'll help you wash them!"
"Xiao Han, don't forget to do your homework today. It's due tomorrow. If you haven't done it yet, I can..."
Ye Bihan suddenly interrupted me: "Will you help me write it by the way?"
I originally thought that she would ignore me, let alone answer me, but I didn't expect her to reply me. I was a little flattered for a moment.
Ye Bihan: "I say, Cheng Qingtong, where do you get so many 'by the way'? You think you are a jingle boy. You serve this and that every day. Aren't you tired?"
"I'm just worried about you." There was a hint of grievance in my voice.
Seeing my pitiful expression, she couldn't bear to continue yelling at me, and her attitude turned gentle: "Actually, I was a little aggressive that day. I really shouldn't have spoken to you so aggressively, but your recent behavior really makes me unbearable . I can see clearly at a glance that your brain is hooked. I have to say that you have a simple mind and your limbs... your limbs are not that strong either!"
Ye Bihan once again returned to her former self who worried about me all the time. She advised me earnestly all night long, and while she was doing so, I secretly sent another good night text message to Mo Xiyi.
Of course, she didn't find out about this, otherwise our friendship of more than 20 years would have come to an end.
Before going to bed, my cell phone suddenly vibrated. Because I only sent a text message to Mo Xi before going to bed, I jumped out of bed in just one second and quickly answered the call.
"Hello? Senior Mo!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for three seconds.
"Cheng Qingtong, have you gone astray? I am Lin Xiaozhu."
My face felt like someone had suddenly slapped me in the face, and it started to burn: "Ah! Oh... You are Lin Xiaozhu, the one I just hung up on Mo Xiyi, I thought he was calling again, what's the matter..." I said in a natural and unpretentious tone.
I could almost imagine the disdainful expression on Lin Xiaozhu's face at this moment, and I could only hold on.
"Mo Xiyi called you? So late? And you hung up on him? Cheng Qingtong, can you please make a draft before you lie?"
I was completely exposed by him, and I was so angry that I said, "Stop talking so much nonsense. If you have something to say, just tell me. I want to sleep."
He chuckled: "Where's the dinner you promised to treat me last time? When are you going to fulfill it? If you wait any longer, I will graduate soon."
I was already impatient after being provoked by him, and just wanted to hang up the phone quickly: "Come to my school at noon this weekend to find me. Nothing else, I'm hanging up!"
A sarcastic voice came from under the bed: "'Hello? Senior Mo?' Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Qingtong, everything I said to you tonight was like talking to a cow!"
You shouldn't respond here, it's better to cover yourself with a blanket and go to sleep.
As soon as I open my eyes in the morning.
"Ye Bihan! Xiaohan! Wake up quickly, Mo Xiyi sent me a text message, hahaha..." The laughter continued.
She turned over and squinted her eyes, probably because she was quite interested in Mo Xiyi's text message: "Congratulations, what did you say? Read it to me."
I happily pulled out my phone and said, "Dear members of the literature club, please come to Building 1 for a meeting at 3pm this afternoon. Please reply if you receive any. Thank you."
I blinked at her, and she finally opened her eyes and looked at me in confusion: "That's it?"
“It’s gone!”
"Then why are you so happy? Is it necessary? He didn't send it specifically to you. It's obvious that this message was sent to a group of people..." She was probably mad at me and struggled to get up. I saw that she was almost coughing up blood.
"When he sent the group message...he didn't...leave me behind. I'm already...thank God...Luckily...he...didn't forget about me. Hehehe...hehe."
Bang—she lay back on the bed and covered herself with the quilt.
On Saturday noon, after inviting Lin Xiaozhu to have lunch, he insisted on taking me back to the dormitory, and walked slowly towards the dormitory.
"Lin Xiaozhu, you are so bold to come here to eat and walk with me, aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will see you and quarrel with you?"
"Girlfriend? What girlfriend?"
"Cheerleader beauty, you're not going to tell me that you two broke up!"
"Oh!" He suddenly realized, "She is not my girlfriend. She is just a new friend I met when I came to play basketball that day."
I was stunned: "Oh my god, you are too promiscuous. You can kiss any girl you want?"
He made a very casual expression, as if he didn't care: "So what? I'm not like you, sticking to a piece of ice all day, pursuing a platonic love. The spirit of a moth flying into a flame is commendable!"
I was furious: "That's better than you. Cheating on others' feelings is no different from being a zombie!"
He was irritated by my merciless words and frowned: "What do you know? How do you know that I was the one who deceived others?" I was stunned for a moment, and he continued to smile playfully, "That's because I'm so suave, handsome and elegant..."
I was speechless: "Stop it, you are so charming and handsome. There are so many people like you in the world, and there are so many people who are better than you..."
I watched his chest heaving violently while I kept chattering, and at that moment I was especially grateful to my mother for the excellent genes she had passed on to me, which allowed me to give full play to my abilities at this moment.
But before I could finish my words, I felt something soft on my lips, and the faint smell of his washing powder filled my surroundings. I only knew that my eyes must have been as big as copper bells, and my body suddenly stiffened and lost consciousness. By the time I reacted, it was too late.
I pushed him away and slapped him: "Lin Xiaozhu, are you sick? Why do you do this to all girls?"
He was stunned when I pushed him away, and was even more horrified after I slapped him: "Cheng Qingtong, you really hit me! Don't you girls like this?"
"Who likes this? Who likes this? You...you'd better not show up in front of me in the future, otherwise I will beat you up every time I see you!"
"Cheng Qingtong! Hey! Don't go, that wasn't your first kiss, was it? Cheng Qingtong..."
I didn’t hear what he said afterwards. I only know that I brushed my teeth for the whole afternoon after I got home. Although he only touched my lips lightly, it was my first kiss!
First kiss!
