Chapter 6: The Dusty Past 05
How long has it been since I last saw a night like this? Shen Chuxue stood in front of the window, wiping the water stains on the window, looking at the night sky with some obsession, her eyes gentle and lingering.
The mess on the ground had been cleaned up by Li Qiuhuo.
When she just came back, Li Qiuhe asked her privately if she had any problems, and told her to speak up when she encountered something, and not to handle it alone. Shen Chuxue looked at her biological mother's face, smiled bitterly, and said, "Okay."
The carpet smelled of cleaning fluid, which filled the entire room.
"Look, is this skirt pretty?" Now she didn't need to look back or listen carefully, as soon as An Yannan approached, she would react. She was slow to react, and would only be more sensitive when An Yannan and Lin Jianluo approached.
Lin Jianluo is a fire. He wants to get close to Shen Chuxue, to warm her, to melt her, and to burn her.
And An Yannan was like the dim light at sunset, always guiding Shen Chuxue, hoping that she would walk steadily and not fall.
Shen Chuxue was wearing the skirt that Lin Jianluo bought for her. She turned around in front of An Yannan, and finally stood still, looking at An Yannan playfully, like a girl who got new clothes and waited for compliments. But An Yannan knew that she was just empty, and she didn't know how to spend such a night.
"It looks good. You look great in red."
This is the truth. Shen Chuxue is very suitable for wearing red, but now that she is older, she is not as popular as when she was a child by wearing brightly colored clothes. Shen Chuxue doesn't like being stared at by others, so she almost always wears black, white and gray.
She has to make a decision.
For some reason, An Yannan could tell this result from Shen Chuxue's expression.
"Just don't regret it." He said, handing the milk to Shen Chuxue.
She took it and the warm cup warmed her palms.
She pointed to the large expanse of starlight outside and said to An Yannan with a smile: "Look, we haven't seen such a bright starry sky here for a long time. It's just like Lin Jianluo's eyes! Really! You haven't looked closely at Lin Jianluo's eyes, have you? They really are like stars, twinkling!"
Shen Chuxue said a lot that night, almost saying everything she hadn't said in all these years. She didn't know why she kept talking, maybe she wanted to fill some kind of panic in her heart?
She tried hard to follow An Yannan's advice and not let herself regret it.
Well, no regrets.
The next day during class, Fan Qi was surprised to find that Shen Chuxue was wearing a bright red skirt. He took Shen Chuxue's hand and said, "Oh my God, Chuxue, you can wear such brightly colored clothes! I thought you only had black, white and gray in your wardrobe! You didn't even give me any psychological preparation for suddenly using such a striking color!"
Shen Chuxue shook her hair, looked at Fan Qi in a very casual manner, posed and said, "How is it? Is it considered bright and beautiful?"
Fan Qi nodded: "Yeah, this temperature is quite freezing!"
Shen Chuxue was amused by Fan Qi's serious tone and said unhappily, "It's so cold, I'm showing my legs just to show off. When An Yannanlin went out this morning, he actually asked me if I was cold! Of course I am cold, that's nonsense!"
The book in his hand fell to the ground because of Shen Chuxue's suddenly raised voice. Fan Qi bent down to pick up the book, touched Shen Chuxue's thigh, and said with a sigh: "You are really freezing!"
Even those in the class who didn't like Shen Chuxue couldn't help but look at her a few more times today.
Such a bright red color, Lin Jianluo saw it immediately when he came in.
"Here." He stuffed the milk tea and breakfast in his hand to Shen Chuxue, and asked while praising her, "Are you cold?"
Shen Chuxue took a deep breath. If someone asked her if she was cold again, she would get angry! She was not a robot, of course she would be cold! Who wouldn't be cold if she exposed her thighs for no reason!
"I say you really have no emotional intelligence! This girl is wearing a nice dress, you just need to praise it for being pretty! Why do you ask if she's cold? Are you missing something in your brain?"
An Yannan was sitting in the office talking to a classmate. The person first mentioned that he saw Shen Chuxue wearing a pretty skirt at noon. An Yannan said that she didn't know it was cold, and ended up being teased.
"Alas, no wonder I can't catch up with her..."
An Yannan frowned: "I didn't chase her."
The man glared, threw the things in his hand on the desk, and said to An Yannan: "Young Master, you haven't pursued me yet? You ask about my well-being every day! Why haven't I seen you buy me a cup of coffee? Some time ago, you sent me milk tea almost every day, and you said that you didn't drink it when others bought it for you? How stupid do you think the girl is that you can't see it?"
An Yannan was left unable to refute what the other party said.
The other person jumped lightly, sat on the desk, turned the ring on his middle finger, and continued to say to An Yannan: "You said you are so slow, could it be that you haven't realized that you like Shen Chuxue? But what is there to like about that girl? She is not cute at all!"
As a result, before An Yannan could react, the girl they were talking about appeared at the door. However, Shen Chuxue was talking to Fan Qi and did not hear what they were talking about.
"Why are you here?" An Yannan felt as if he was caught, and his brows were furrowed.
Shen Chuxue shook the cake in her hand , then placed it on An Yannan's desk and said, "An Cenxi wanted to send you a cake, but it was too late for class, so he asked me to run errands. I've delivered it, but I'm leaving now!"
The red skirt flutters in the eyes.
Like it……
When passing by the playground, a paper airplane suddenly landed at their feet. Shen Chuxue almost stepped on it, so she pulled Fan Qi and quickly took a step back.
Shen Chuxue picked it up and turned around to look. Before she found anyone, she heard a whistle.
"Hey, beauty!" A man was lying on the railing and smiling at Shen Chuxue in a nonchalant manner.
It turns out that if you dress nicely, people will approach you. This is a new experience for Shen Chuxue.
"Sorry, brother, it's taken." A hand suddenly rested on Shen Chuxue's shoulder. She was pulled into his arms by a force, and the familiar smell approached, and Shen Chuxue was amused.
Why does it look so much like a scene from a movie!
"Did you guys collude with each other?" Shen Chuxue asked, pointing at the people on the stairs.
Lin Jianluo was exposed, scratched his head and laughed, and shouted to the people above: "Your acting skills are not good, you are exposed!" Then, he bent down slightly, looked straight into Shen Chuxue's eyes and said, "I designed the routine, you are really cute!"
