Chapter 6: Love Shining Like a Gem 02
"Xiaoye, Xiaoye, what are you thinking about?"
Just as I was standing there blankly wondering what Simon meant by that, Leo suddenly tugged at the corner of my clothes: "Xiao Ye, what are you thinking about? It's getting late. If you don't hurry up and go to school, you'll be late."
After he reminded me, I remembered that I had to go to school, and I immediately jumped up and shouted reflexively: "Ah! That's right!"
Yes, I got up very late to begin with, and now I’ve wasted so much time, I’m sure I’ll be late.
"It's okay." Le'ou saw my reaction, raised the corner of his lips and smiled to comfort me, "Don't be so nervous. Although we didn't drive, it's rush hour for going to work and school, and it's most likely to be jammed. It's faster to walk. It will take at most ten minutes to walk from here to school. We should be able to make it in time."
"Yeah?"
I asked worriedly, but Leou seemed very happy, nodded vigorously, then took my hand and turned around twice like dancing a waltz: "It doesn't matter if I'm late as long as I can walk with Xiaoye."
Uh... after all this time of comforting me, it turns out you don't care about being late at all? Besides, we're just walking to school, so you don't have to smile so happily, right?
Seeing Leo's smile as bright as a diamond, I was also infected and started laughing. At this time, I accidentally glanced at Duanmu Jichu standing on the other side. Duanmu Jichu seemed to be looking at me as well. His black glass-like eyes revealed a cold loneliness that could not be ignored. Then he frowned and suddenly turned and left.
"Ji Chu, wait for us, let's go together." Seeing Duanmu Ji Chu go first, Le Ou pulled me to chase him. He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until we were shoulder to shoulder with him. He laughed happily, "Ji Chu, you and Xiao Ye should stop quarreling. Although Xiao Ye is naughty sometimes, one of you is my best friend and the other is my favorite person. It will be very difficult for me if you quarrel."
After hearing his words, Duanmu Jichu and I were stunned almost at the same time. We looked at each other and quickly lowered our heads without saying a word.
The atmosphere was a bit strange.
At this time, Duanmu Jimo, who was walking in the front, suddenly turned back, put his arm around Leou's shoulders affectionately, and said with a smile: "The relationship between my brother and that Nian Gao girl is not as bad as it seems. They actually have a very good relationship."
"Ji Mo, shut up." Duanmu Ji Chu suddenly turned around and glared at Duanmu Ji Mo, as if he was afraid that something would be exposed.
Duanmu Jimo ignored him, took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to Leou: "Look, look, I took this secretly. Their relationship has become so good, ahaha!"
Candid photos...
I suddenly had a bad feeling, and suddenly remembered that day under the starry night sky, Duanmu Jichu and I sat side by side on the bridge and chatted, and I finally fell asleep on his shoulder. Although it was not something shameful, and it was possible that the picture taken was not that picture at all, but looking at the smile frozen on Leo's face, my heart sank.
"Ji Chu...Xiao Ye..."
Leo's face turned pale, and his blue eyes were filled with deep sadness. Then he slowly raised the photo and asked, "Is this photo real?"
Although I have been praying, it turns out that God doesn't favor me at all.
Because in the photo that Leou held up, I clearly saw the picture that was buried deep in my heart: under the bright starry sky, a boy and a girl sat side by side on the guardrail of the bridge, and the girl rested her head on the boy's shoulder... The only thing that surprised me was that the boy, Duanmu Jichu, was actually closing his eyes, lowering his head and kissing me tenderly on the forehead...
Duanmu Jichu, he...he secretly kissed my forehead that day?
I looked up at him in surprise. Duanmu Jichu snatched the photo in a panic and explained to Le Ou anxiously: "Le Ou, listen to me, things are not what you think..."
"Ji Chu, you like Xiao Ye too, right?" Le Ou seemed not to hear his words and raised his head quietly. His expression was frighteningly cold and his tone was frighteningly cold.
Le Ou, who always smiled at everyone and shone like a diamond, seemed like a different person, covered with frost that could not be melted. He said coldly: "When I told you that I liked Xiao Ye, wanted to pursue Xiao Ye, and wanted her to be my bride , why didn't you say anything? You even smiled and blessed me... You didn't say anything, what is this? Do you want to leave all the opportunities to me? Are you giving in to me? Do you look down on me so much? Well, since you decided to give in to me, why did you do this?" Le Ou snatched the photo back, pointed to the date on the photo and said, "It was the day I officially confessed to Xiao Ye!"
I also clearly remember that day when Le Ou officially confessed to me, and then it was ruined by the sudden appearance of Duanmu Jichu. Could it be that Duanmu Jichu did it on purpose at that time, because he didn't want to see me dating Le Ou, so he suddenly rushed out and dragged me away?
Could it be that Duanmu Jichu likes me?
I looked at Duanmu Jichu, and I actually expected him to nod, then apologize to Leou, and say that he liked me too. But I waited for a long time, and he finally said nothing, but just lowered his eyes silently, and then turned and walked away.
"Ji Chu... Xiao Ye..." Le Ou looked at Duanmu Ji Chu's back, then turned to look at me , his blue eyes full of sadness, and finally turned and walked away in the opposite direction of Duanmu Ji Chu.
The culprit, Duanmu Jimo, acted as if nothing had happened. He put his arm around my shoulders and said with a smile, "Student Nian Gao, hurry up. You'll be late for school."
"Are you happy that things turned out like this? Is it so fun to play tricks on others?" I turned my head and looked at him coldly, pushed his arm away, and walked towards the school woodenly.
"Mr. Nian Gao, it's unfair for you to say that to me. I just took out the photo and I didn't lie. The photo is real. Think about it clearly. I wasn't the one who did something wrong, and I wasn't the one who hurt Leo."
Duanmu Jimo casually uttered something behind me, leaving me speechless.
That's right, he didn't do anything wrong? Things turned out like this entirely because of me, my heart that was wavering between Duanmu Jichu and Le Ou.
My heart clearly likes Duanmu Jichu but I dare not admit it.
I was the one who hurt Leo. Everything was because of me.
Oh, so this is what "peach blossom calamity" is all about...
Lord Simon, your prediction is really true, haha.
I wanted to laugh, but for some reason warm liquid flowed out of my eyes and flowed into my mouth, turning into a salty and bitter taste.
