Chapter 5 Why do you always have problems every time I meet you?
Once the resolution was finalized, it quickly entered into the implementation process.
then--
After this day, Jinfeng College became bustling with activity at noon every day.
The temperature is gradually rising.
The flowers in the flowerbed are competing with each other in beauty and splendor.
White petals fall from the trees one after another, like a romantic and beautiful rain of petals.
On the gravel road in the college, the wind gently blew up the petals that fell on the ground, like the most beautiful dance.
The air was filled with a faint floral scent.
It's breathtakingly beautiful.
And at the end of the garden—
At this moment, a stage more than two meters high has been set up.
On the stage, a red banner with the words "Jinfeng Martial Arts Club" fluttered slowly in the wind.
The crowd moved in front of the stage.
Everyone's expression was filled with excitement.
"Hey, I heard that the martial arts club is publicly recruiting members?" asked a girl in a white chiffon skirt.
"Yeah! Aren't we setting up the stage now?" The girl next to her pointed at the stage in front of them.
"What are you looking at so intently?" he asked in a puzzled tone.
"Idiot! Of course I'm looking at Ouyang Xi. He is the legendary examiner!"
"What? What did you say? I can see Ouyang Xi, my God!"
"Besides Xia Boran, he is the most popular boy in Jinfeng College!"
"What? I think Ouyang Xi is more handsome than Xia Boran! Xia Boran looks cold."
"That's cool! But Senior Ouyang is really nice too. If he were my boyfriend..."
"Don't dream. You look like you're tempted by something else."
"What? You still look like a nympho."
Amid the chatter, the members of the martial arts club were busy as the various facilities on the stage were gradually put in place.
The sun is scorching.
In the sunshine, Zi Xin was carefully adjusting the height of the banner, looking serious.
"Zi Xin..."
"Ah?" Zi Xin hurriedly put down the work in his hands and ran over.
"Please go buy a few bottles of mineral water. The weather is too hot and my mouth is dry."
"Okay." She nodded and ran down the stairs next to the stage.
In less than a quarter of an hour, she came back with a bag of mineral water.
"Thank you, Zi Xin." Ouyang Xi took the bag from the girl's hand with a smile, "It's really a bit heavy." He frowned and looked at the thin girl in front of him with heartache.
Zi Xin waved her hand gently with an indifferent expression on her face: "It's not heavy, not heavy. As a member of the martial arts club , I should do my best." She looked so cute when she smiled.
Ouyang Xi took out a bottle of water from his pocket, unscrewed it, and handed it to Zi Xin. Just as he was about to say something, a clear female voice came into his ears.
"Ah, there is water to drink, Brother Ouyang, you are so partial, giving it to Zi Xin but not to me." She said in a coquettish tone.
Zi Xin turned her head. In the sunlight, Yang Liu's little face was rosy and her bright eyes were looking at her.
Zi Xin took the water and handed it to Yang Liu: "How come there is no share for you?"
Yang Liu took the water, took a sip, and smiled happily.
"Okay, I'm going to continue working." Zi Xin patted Yang Liu's shoulder gently.
"Ah? Okay." Yang Liu turned her head to look at Ouyang Xi, but unexpectedly saw Ouyang Xi staring at Zi Xin's back in a daze.
I don't know why the words "Brother Ouyang" were swallowed back. My heart seemed to be stabbed by something, and tiny bits of pain spread... It made me feel a little breathless...
Zi Xin turned around and walked towards the place where he had just been working. He was almost done, and thinking of this, he quickened his pace involuntarily.
When I was about to reach the edge of the stage I just stood on...
Sudden--
A powerful impact rushed towards her...
She didn't even see clearly what hit her before she was hit hard with a "bang".
The huge inertia caused the body to fall towards the edge of the stage.
Unable to control.
Behind her was the edge of the stage! And the height of the stage was two meters!
She tried her best to control her body and try to maintain her balance.
However, it was in vain.
She stepped on empty air and fell weakly to the ground. At that moment, she seemed to hear the sound of wind whistling in her ears.
An inexplicable sense of fear suddenly came over me...
Yang Liu, who was not far away, was frightened and her eyes widened. She was so surprised that she couldn't even make a sound...
It was as if time had been stopped.
Just when everyone was submerged in fear.
Sudden--
A tall shadow rushed to the edge of the stage like an arrow.
It’s Ouyang Xi!
It was so quiet that everyone held their breath and watched everything happening in front of them. They were so cautious that they even forgot to breathe.
moment--
Ouyang Xi quickly stretched out his arms, and the moment she fell off the stage, he stretched out his arms without hesitation and hugged her tightly!
Amid the crowd's horror, the two fell from the stage together...
The white petals also gently fell.
"No!" Yang Liu seemed to have just recovered from the fright she had just experienced. She shouted and tried to run over in panic, but accidentally fell on the stage.
The loud shouting startled the birds perched on the treetops.
The leaves rustled and fell.
It felt like my body was really flying in the air.
Zi Xin closed her eyes tightly, her heart filled with great fear. She could clearly feel that her body was empty at this moment, without any support.
She clenched her fists tightly and was extremely scared.
Suddenly, a warmth surrounded her——
She felt a strong arm gently lifting her body.
Their bodies were falling together.
The wind was raging in my ears.
She slowly opened her eyes.
Ouyang Xi's angular face was reflected in his clear eyes.
It turns out...it could be him!
There was no expected pain when I landed.
She just felt like she was shaken hard...
Then, everything returned to calm.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she touched the ground again.
Zi Xin stared at Ouyang Xi in front of her, and then she came to her senses.
It turned out that the moment she landed on the ground, Ouyang Xi held her tightly in his arms! That's why she didn't feel the expected pain!
My heart was instantly filled with gratitude...
There seemed to be a mist in Zi Xin's eyes.
The two of them were so close, she could feel the eager light in his eyes, which seemed to be faintly shining with a hint of pain...
Zi Xin's heart sank and he stood up immediately.
"You, are you okay?" Zi Xin asked cautiously, but what caught her eyes was Ouyang Xi's somewhat strange face.
Is he injured?
She looked at his arm, and when she saw the large patch of red on his palm, she frowned fiercely. There was an indescribable feeling swirling in her heart.
Zi Xin felt really guilty. She held Ouyang Xi's hand. His palm was broad and warm.
She frowned. "It must be painful, right?" she asked softly.
The girl's gentle voice rang in Ouyang Xi's ears, like the softest breeze blowing through his heart, making him feel cozy and comfortable.
Ouyang Xi raised his head, and Zi Xin's bright eyes were reflected in his eyes.
Her big, clear eyes were filled with worry. She frowned slightly, and there were beads of sweat on her small nose.
His heart moved inexplicably again.
He even forgot to answer her and just looked at her, staring at her blankly.
She felt his burning gaze and her face felt slightly hot.
"Senior Ouyang, are you okay?" she asked again, avoiding his passionate gaze.
Only then did Ouyang Xi come back to his senses from his momentary daze.
He answered Zi Xin's words in a slightly flustered manner: "It's nothing, just a little scrape, don't worry." As he said that, he pulled his hand out of Zi Xin's, waved gently at her, and a beautiful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Zi Xin's expression still didn't brighten up, and her worry was evident in her words: "I'm sorry!"
Ouyang Xi smiled indifferently: "I'm a grown man, why would I be afraid of such a minor injury..." He paused and continued, "Besides, Zi Xin, you forgot that I am the president of the martial arts club, and my physical fitness is top-notch."
His comforting words did not ease Zi Xin's tension. On the contrary, her guilt seemed to deepen.
"Brother Ouyang, how are you? How are you?" Yang Liu ran over quickly.
"It's okay, it's just a little scrape, it will be fine in two days."
"But there's so much blood!" Yang Liu frowned and looked at his injured palm.
"It's really okay, don't worry. We're almost done, so let's speed up and work."
"Oh." Yang Liu looked at Ouyang Xi's nonchalant expression and turned away angrily.
Zi Xin was standing there, and he had already stood up and walked towards the back.
"Senior Ouyang!" Zi Xin suddenly called out Ouyang Xi's name loudly.
Ouyang Xi turned around, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Senior Ouyang." Zi Xin looked into Ouyang Xi's eyes, but seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong, Zi Xin?" Ouyang Xi stopped, turned around and looked at Zi Xin with a puzzled look on his face.
"You'd better go to the infirmary to bandage your hand." Zi Xin's eyes were full of guilt.
Ouyang Xi still waved his hand in disapproval: "It really doesn't matter. Don't you believe in the physical fitness of a martial artist like me?"
"If the wound is not bandaged, it will get infected!" Zi Xin stared into Ouyang Xi's eyes and said insistently.
A warm feeling filled Ouyang Xi's heart. Looking at Zi Xin's worried expression, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of joy.
He looked at her.
Her small nose was slightly wrinkled, and her big eyes were so clear. The sunlight shining into her eyes seemed to be filled with sparkling diamonds.
He was stunned for a moment, his heart was filled with waves, as if the calm surface of a lake was broken by a stone, causing huge ripples.
"Senior Ouyang!" Seeing Ouyang Xi remained silent, Zi Xin called his name again, his tone urgent.
Ouyang Xi finally came to his senses from his shock. He seemed to be unable to refuse her kindness. A gentle smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Okay, then we'll do as you say. Let's go to the infirmary to bandage it."
He looked at Zi Xin with very gentle eyes.
Zi Xin subconsciously avoided his burning gaze.
"Well. Then let's go to the infirmary and bandage the wound now." Zi Xin said, with a sense of relief in his words.
"Then you have to promise me one thing." Ouyang Xi smiled slyly.
"Ah?" Zi Xin's eyes widened. Why did she feel like he was taking advantage of her? She obviously didn't expect him to suddenly say such a thing. "What's the matter?" she asked hurriedly, with a hint of uneasiness in her eyes.
Seeing her nervous expression, Ouyang Xi waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, it's not a difficult thing."
He paused and continued, "In a few weeks I will be participating in a martial arts competition. Zixin, you must come and see me that day."
"Ah?" It turned out to be this matter. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, "I will definitely go and see it." She nodded, looking serious.
"Then, you must go and see it when the time comes! Don't be a lazy puppy. " Ouyang Xi smiled, "If you don't come, you're dead!" His tone was slightly threatening, but there was a big smile in his eyes, looking very childish.
"I know." Zi Xin said, "Let's go quickly. I'm really worried that the wound on your palm will get infected." Her tone became sad.
"I'm a boy, how can I be so fragile." Ouyang Xi said indifferently, his tone sounded a bit stubborn, but there was a sweet feeling spreading in his heart. He didn't notice at all that there was a passionate and resentful gaze staring at him.
White petals fell at their feet one after another, and almost the entire boulevard was covered with such beautiful petals.
The nose is filled with a refreshing fragrance.
Ouyang Xi looked at Zi Xin's thin back, and he recalled the first time he met her. Her eyes were as clear as a deer's, and there was a faint and refreshing breath in the air.
He thought that from that moment on, he had fallen into such gentle eyes.
Like gentle shackles.
Unable to resist.
Their meeting must have been destined by God.
And she is the one and only existence in his life.
They are destined lovers.
Soon the two of them walked to the school infirmary.
The pungent smell of disinfectant hit him in the face, and Ouyang Xi frowned unconsciously.
Zi Xin gently pulled his hand, as if she was afraid that he would escape.
It seemed as if an electric current was transmitted to the boy's palm. Ouyang Xi's face looked unnatural for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, he concealed the unnatural look well.
Sitting at the desk was the female school doctor in a white coat.
The school doctor began to help Ouyang Xi clean the wound on his palm.
"The injury is quite serious..." The female school doctor frowned, "We must quickly remove the broken glass from the wound, otherwise it will become infected and inflamed."
"Oh." Ouyang Xi nodded.
Zi Xin's brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked extremely nervous.
"It may be a little painful, just bear with it for a while." The female school doctor advised and then picked up the tweezers.
Zi Xin stared at Ouyang Xi's injured palm.
The female school doctor carefully used tweezers to remove the broken glass from the wound.
Beads of sweat as big as beans overflowed from Ouyang Xi's forehead, and then gently slid down his cheeks. But he was still smiling, not crying out in pain, not even groaning.
Zi Xin couldn't bear to watch any longer, she turned her head away, feeling filled with guilt.
It's all because of her that things turned out like this...
If he wasn't trying to save himself, how could he have injured his palm? I hope it doesn't affect the game.
She bit her lips gently, and her hands trembled slightly with excitement.
"Zi Xin."
"Hmm?" Zi Xin looked at him with a frown.
Ouyang Xi's brilliant smile was reflected in her somewhat misty eyes. Such a bright smile seemed to illuminate all the haze.
"It's obviously me who was injured, why do you look like you're about to cry?" He asked with amusement when he saw her sparkling eyes.
Zi Xin hurriedly turned her head away: "Nonsense, I'm not going to cry."
"Little fool." Ouyang Xi said gently, his voice was unusually soft, and he shook his wrist mischievously, "Don't worry, I'm fine, right? Don't keep having that expression, look, my hand is still very flexible!" He shook his palm, which had been bandaged by the school doctor.
Zi Xin frowned and looked at his palm without answering.
"Go to the lounge and take a short rest before you go back." The female school doctor said with a smile, "Remember not to get wet in the next few days."
"Well, thank you, doctor." Zi Xin bowed respectfully to the female school doctor.
Then, the two of them walked to the lounge together.
They sat side by side, and the lounge was very quiet.
Ouyang Xi turned his head and saw Zi Xin's beautiful profile, with a beautiful and gentle curve. The sun shone down, and her face was covered with a soft halo.
Flickering.
It looks stunning.
Ouyang Xi's heart suddenly moved, and a beautiful smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to play a trick on her.
She must be very cute when she is angry.
He suddenly pretended to say "ouch".
Sure enough, Zi Xin's attention was immediately attracted.
"What's wrong, Senior Ouyang?" Zi Xin asked with an anxious tone.
"The wound on my hand hurts." He turned his head and looked at her, pretending to be in pain.
"What? Does the wound hurt?" A worried look emerged on Zi Xin's face, and she stood up in a panic, "Please be patient for a moment, I will go find the school doctor." As she said this, she was about to run out of the lounge to find the school doctor.
The hand was gently pulled.
Then, a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.
"It doesn't seem to hurt that much anymore." Ouyang Xi looked at Zi Xin with a smile.
Zi Xin stopped and looked at Ouyang Xi in a daze, feeling extremely confused.
She was so close to him. An inexplicable cool breath instantly filled his nostrils.
That day, his eyes were just as clear.
A clean and beautiful face, as holy as an angel.
Ouyang Xi found it difficult to suppress his excitement, and he suddenly said, "Zi Xin, I always feel that our meeting was arranged by God and was destined." His tone was very firm.
Such inexplicable words made Zi Xin stunned. She looked at Ouyang Xi in front of her, remained silent, and let him continue talking.
"Zi Xin, do you know? From the first time I saw you, I felt that I could never forget you." His eyes were bright.
Zi Xin remained silent, and the fist hanging by his side clenched tighter and tighter.
"Sometimes I wonder, are you an angel sent from heaven? Otherwise, why do you have such a touching smile and clear eyes..."
"Zi Xin, you cared about me so much just now, you don't know how happy I am..."
Ouyang Xi didn't notice her expression and continued talking to himself, immersed in the beauty.
Zi Xin frowned slightly, but out of politeness, she did not pull her hand back.
The sunlight outside the window shines warmly, and the atmosphere of peace and tranquility is everywhere.
Another week passed.
Because of the martial arts club's affairs recently, Zi Xin rarely saw Xia Boran. Occasionally, when she and Yang Liu met Xia Boran at school, they just nodded and smiled. Apart from a simple greeting, there was not much conversation.
At Monday afternoon.
After school, Zi Xin walked towards home as usual.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the cicadas on the treetops are chirping non-stop, making people feel a little depressed.
Camphor trees with lush branches and leaves stand on both sides of the road.
Sudden--
Zi Xin was stopped by someone.
She looked up. Standing in front of her were four or five strange girls who looked about the same age as her.
Zi Xin frowned slightly: "Who are you?"
"Are you Chen Zixin?" a taller girl asked, raising her chin slightly, looking very arrogant.
Zi Xin nodded gently.
Seeing her admit it, several girls suddenly took a few quick steps closer to her and surrounded her.
Zi Xin's heart sank. She looked at the girls around her warily and asked in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?"
A girl with a bow tie replied, "It doesn't matter who we are. What's important is that you should never seduce Senior Ouyang again, okay? Don't bother him anymore! Otherwise, be careful of our fists! They are not vegetarian!" As she spoke, she raised her arms with a fierce look.
"Senior Ouyang?" Zi Xin looked at the girls in front of her in confusion.
"Stop looking at people with that innocent look, Chen Zixin, we are not kidding you!" said the tall girl viciously.
"Boss, why don't you teach this little brat a lesson? Otherwise she won't learn her lesson." A petite girl who had been silent suggested.
The tall girl put out the cigarette in her hand and threw it on the ground. She stared at Zi Xin for a long time, her long and narrow eyes narrowed.
Zi Xin felt a little nervous, his face was stern and he remained silent.
"I really hate seeing her look! It seems like I need to teach her a lesson." The tall girl stood in front of Zi Xin while speaking.
She was about half a head taller than Zi Xin. When she stood in front of Zi Xin, Zi Xin looked even thinner and more pitiful.
"Chen Zixin, you asked for this!" The tall girl raised her arms.
Zi Xin stood there in a daze. She never expected that the girl in front of her would hit her!
But suddenly——
Someone grabbed the girl's arm!
It was grabbed fiercely by a slender hand!
Then, Xia Boran's familiar face appeared in Zi Xin's eyes again.
"Do you want to die?" Xia Bairan's cold voice echoed in the air.
The girls who had just surrounded Zi Xin suddenly dispersed and hid behind the tall girl who looked fierce.
"Xia...Xia Boran..." The other party obviously did not expect Xia Boran to appear in front of him, and his expression was surprised.
"Aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to break my habit of never laying hands on women?" Xia Boyan's eyes were as cold as ice in a deep pool, which made people feel horrified.
As soon as he finished speaking, several girls ran away and disappeared without a trace.
It all happened so fast that it caught people off guard.
Zi Xin stood there in a daze.
The cold light in Xia Boyan's eyes suddenly disappeared, and in an instant, there was a hint of worry.
"Why do you always get into trouble every time I meet you?" He frowned, a gentle smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Then why do you always show up every time I'm in trouble?" He asked leisurely with a playful gleam in his eyes.
"Maybe..." Xia Bairan paused, "Maybe I'm just unlucky."
He pretended to be profound.
Zi Xin laughed, her laughter clear and bright: "Anyway, thank you, Xia Bairan."
He was obviously two grades higher than her, but she had always refused to call him senior. She looked at him deeply, and seeing that he pursed his lips and had no intention of speaking, she turned around and planned to leave.
"Chen Zixin!" He called her name behind her.
She stopped and turned to look at him in surprise, with a deep beating in her heart .
The sun shines down.
His short hair reflected a charming light in the sunlight, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes were bright.
"To ensure your safety, I might as well take you home every day from now on." His voice was neither high nor low, but steady and powerful, making it difficult for her not to hear it.
Zi Xin's heart began to beat violently uncontrollably again, and two red clouds quietly appeared on her fair face.
She quickly turned around to hide her slight panic, and quickened her pace, as if trying to escape from some fatal temptation.
What was he talking about? He was going to take me home every day?
No, no, no! He must be talking casually, he definitely doesn't mean it!
However, her heartbeat seemed to be getting more and more intense out of control.
So she took a step and ran.
The wind sings softly in the treetops.
However, the deep joy and excitement in my heart cannot be shaken off no matter what.
The more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes…
Facts soon proved that he was not just talking casually, he was serious.
because--
The next afternoon after school, he actually waited outside her classroom for her to go home.
He stood calmly at the door of the classroom, like a gorgeous and magnificent landscape.
He just stood there quietly and successfully attracted everyone's attention.
"Oh my god! Is he the mysterious handsome boy Xia Boran? He is so handsome!"
"He is even more handsome than the legend says!"
"Oh my god! He's looking over here! My heart is about to skip a beat!"
The moment Zi Xin saw Xia Boran, she was also shocked. Why was he here? Was he serious yesterday and not just joking?
Amid everyone's strange gazes, Zi Xin hurried over.
Fortunately, Yang Liu had something to do today and left early, otherwise she would have been gossiping in her ears.
She stood in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Chen Zixin, are you finally willing to come out?"
His tone sounded somewhat complaining, but his eyes were bright and full of smiles.
Zi Xin raised her head and looked at him: "Are you waiting for me?" She blinked her big eyes, with a look of confusion on her face.
"What else?" Xia Bairan smiled, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, "Do you think I know other girls in your class besides you and me?"
"Ah?" Zi Xin was stunned.
"Why is your memory so bad? Didn't I agree yesterday that I would escort you home?" Xia Bairan explained good-temperedly.
"Ah? You...are you serious?" Even greater surprise spread in her eyes.
"Hurry up, or you'll miss the bus." After Xia Bairan said this, his tall figure had already walked in front. Even his back was so handsome that it was unnatural.
Zi Xin hurriedly ran a few steps to catch up with him.
"Xia Boran, wait for me!" She called Xia Boran's name loudly, but her heart was filled with joy.
Still at that intersection, Xia Bairan suddenly stopped.
His expression looked a little strange, and Zi Xin suddenly recalled the first time he rescued her, so she hurriedly took his hand and led him across the crosswalk.
Only when they reached the other side of the street did Zi Xin let go.
His pale face eased slightly and he was breathing softly, he looked really nervous.
Zi Xin frowned slightly. Although doubts were spreading in her heart, she didn't ask anything. She knew that if he wanted to tell her, he would tell her himself, so why bother asking?
really.
"Zi Xin." He called her name.
"Um?"
"Aren't you curious?" Xia Bairan looked at her, his face still pale.
"What?" Zi Xin stopped and turned around.
"Aren't you curious at all about my abnormal behavior of being afraid of crossing the road?" Xia Boyan repeated what he had just said.
Zi Xin walked up to him and looked into his deep eyes. "Compared to the word 'curious', 'worried' is more accurate."
Her tone was gentle and her expression was very soft.
There was a gleam of emotion in Xia Bairan's eyes.
"Actually, I had a car accident a few years ago. Ever since that accident, I have had a strong psychological trauma. I dare not drive, and I even dare not cross the road alone." There was a gleam of fear in his eyes, as if he was still frightened by the memory.
The passage of time has not completely dispelled that fear.
Zi Xin was slightly stunned.
Somehow, she suddenly thought of the car accident her mother had five years ago. That shocking scene seemed to have become a moment in her memory that she could never recall.
Her heart felt as if something had suddenly gripped her, and it was so painful.
In fact, Xia Bairan’s affairs had nothing to do with her mother’s affairs, but a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
But she still gave Xia Bairan a big smile: "It's okay, I will hold your hand and help you cross the road from now on."
Xia Bairan looked at her steadily without saying a word, but his eyes were deep and gentle, as if tears could flow out of them.
A faint sweetness spreads quietly in my heart.
In a moment, the two arrived at the bus stop.
Because it was time to get out of school, the bus was very crowded. Zi Xin finally squeezed in and found a relatively comfortable place to stop.
But because of her thin body, she was always squeezed by the people around her during the bumpy ride.
It looks a bit embarrassed, which makes people feel distressed.
Just as she was frowning, a slender arm wrapped around her, separating her from the crowded people around her.
It's like a unique space tailor-made for her.
Zi Xin raised her head——
Xia Bairan's deep and bright eyes flashed into her eyes.
It is a very gentle light that makes people's mood move involuntarily.
Zi Xin hurriedly avoided his gaze and once again felt the panic surging in her heart.
The two people didn't say anything, but it seemed like they had said thousands of words.
She was immersed in the small space that Xia Boran created for her, and her heart was as sweet as if there were fragrant flowers blooming.
She was so close to him.
She could clearly see his thick eyelashes, hear his strong heartbeat, and watch the changing scenery outside the car window amid the envious gazes of others.
It's an extremely happy feeling.
