Chapter 5 I'm a little tempted one
The noise outside the door gradually faded away. I lay on the bed, feeling a little regretful. If I just ignored Yan Yimu, would he be angry? But I didn't do anything wrong. Do I have to admit my mistakes every time?
I quietly opened the door. The lights outside were all off. It was quiet all around. It seemed that Yan Yimu had gone back to his room to rest. I tiptoed to the kitchen to see what he had done to the place.
Wow, I was shocked when I touched the kitchen. The kitchen was not as dirty as I imagined. The cups and dishes were neatly arranged, and washed apples were placed next to the sink. I don't know why, but my nose was sour. I would rather Yan Yimu keep targeting me than face a scene that was too warm, which would remind me of my parents far away.
I took the apple and took a bite, feeling a little regretful. I shouldn't have confronted him every time. Wasn't I also a little suspicious of Yuan Yichen? I walked back to my room slowly. When I passed Yan Yimu's room, I stopped and stood next to his door. There was no light in the crack of the door, so it seemed that he had fallen asleep.
"Hey, what are you doing!" The door suddenly opened, and I lost my balance and fell backwards, falling heavily into Yan Yimu's arms.
Time seemed to stand still. My face turned red and I hurriedly pushed him away and retreated to the door, stammering, "Um... I wanted to see if you were asleep... I wanted to thank you... The apple was delicious, and, I'm sorry!" After that, I quickly went back to the room and closed the door. My heart began to beat erratically.
Why am I like this?! I touched my burning face and went to the bed to lie down. I must be too tired. The comic book world must be too unreal, which made me become unlike myself. I thought about it randomly and gradually fell asleep.
In the boundless purple smoke, I could barely see a figure following me. I turned around and saw the figure floating, but I didn't feel scared, as if I knew that person. I ran back, the wind lifted the corners of my clothes, and the person behind me gradually became clearer, and I could almost see his face. But suddenly, a rapid alarm sounded, and my dream was instantly interrupted.
I got up in a daze and turned off the alarm clock, rubbing my messy hair. It felt terrible to have my dream interrupted. I seemed to have no energy at all. I washed up and walked out of the bedroom. Yan Yimu was already dressed and eating breakfast elegantly.
"Hey, you're going to school like this?" Yan Yimu frowned slightly when he saw me, then shook his head and continued to eat the bread in his hand, "I suggest you take a shower and change your clothes. I don't want to go to school with a listless and dirty person."
"Humph, don't forget that in this world, you used to be worse off than I am now!" I retorted with a pout, then walked to the dining table, picked up a slice of bread and started to bite into it, turning my anger into appetite.
"Take your time eating. I'm leaving first." Yan Yimu handsomely lifted the strands of hair on his forehead, put on his schoolbag and said to me with a smile.
"Go away. I don't want to go with you. If someone sees us, my innocence will be ruined." I said vaguely while biting the bread.
Yan Yimu stopped at the door and turned around to glare at me. He half leaned against the door, and the light outside the door sprinkled on his body. My face instantly turned red again, and my heartbeat began to accelerate. It was really... a terrible feeling! I picked up the cup and drank the milk in big gulps. The milk instantly slid down my throat and esophagus, and I was choked and coughed loudly.
"Oh, I've never seen anyone as stupid as you." Yan Yimu sighed softly, then slammed the door and left.
I coughed until my eyes were full of tears, staring at the closed door. He didn't even look at me! I stroked my chest, feeling a little aggrieved, but I quickly realized that it was normal for him to ignore me. Yu Yingwu, Yu Yingwu, you must not think too much! Yan Yimu is a dangerous person, you are just temporary allies!
I kept telling myself that everything here was unreal, so it was understandable that I would become abnormal. My feelings for Yan Yimu were unreal, because we were allies in the comic world, and I couldn't let my imagination run wild and I couldn't like Yan Yimu!
When I got to school, it was almost time for class. All the classmates were there. I walked towards Yan Yimu under everyone's gaze. I lowered my head and looked at my toes, feeling inexplicably guilty.
"Huh, I really don't know what Yan Yimu sees in her." A girl whispered.
I lowered my head even lower, and when I walked to sit next to Yan Yimu, I didn't dare to look at him.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Yan Yimu pushed my arm.
"It's okay." I pretended to be calm, but my heart beat faster, as if the more I reminded myself, the more counterproductive it was.
"Yu Yingwu, you wouldn't have done anything hidden from me, right?" Yan Yimu suddenly reached out, hooked my chin, and forced me to look at him.
I habitually shrank back to avoid his hand, raised my head and stared into his eyes, and then my face quickly heated up: "No, I didn't hide anything from you!"
"Then why are you blushing? You look guilty." Yan Yimu supported his head with his hands, a smile spreading across the corners of his mouth, "You wouldn't..."
"It's nothing. Don't let your imagination run wild!" I slammed the table hard, causing my classmates to look at me one after another. "Well, it's okay. I was just slapping a mosquito." I shook numbed hands.
Yan Yimu's smile seemed to get even stronger. He lowered his head to read and ignored me, but I could clearly feel that he was still smiling. Could it be... he was laughing at me for liking him?! I banged my head on the table in frustration.
"You are stupid to begin with, and you will become even more stupid after hitting your head." Yan Yimu touched my hair.
"Don't touch my hair!" I glared at him fiercely on purpose.
I couldn't continue to be so close to Yan Yimu, I had to keep some distance from him. At lunch time, I deliberately avoided Yan Yimu and went to the garden to eat alone.
"Xiao Wu, you are here." I was concentrating on eating pork ribs when a sudden voice behind me startled me and I almost choked on my ribs.
"Yuan Yichen?!" I tried hard to swallow the ribs. Yuan Yichen was wearing a school uniform with a smile on his face. Where did he come from? !
"Xiao Wu, I feel that the key point of my departure is still in Delan, so I came back . How have you been recently?" Yuan Yichen sat down next to me and asked with concern.
"I've been looking for a way to leave recently, but I've tried everything and nothing works. Even jumping off the rooftop is useless." I answered helplessly.
"Actually, it's okay for you not to leave." Yuan Yichen's smile suddenly became very intense, but there was an indescribable gloomy feeling.
