Chapter 7: Model Love in the Love Manual 2
The next morning, the eastern sky was pale as a fish belly, and a faint halo shone through the gaps in the clouds. It was a beautiful morning.
As Hiather and I walked towards the bus stop, we would occasionally hear the sound of a bus whistle.
I was carrying my schoolbag and passing by the shoe store that I passed every day. I saw at a glance the pair of new shoes that had just been displayed behind the glass window. They were a pair of pink shallow-mouthed leather shoes, lying in a transparent crystal shoe box. The decorative lace ribbons made it pure and a little playful, and it looked very beautiful!
In my imagination, Cinderella's crystal slippers look something like this.
Xia Arthur put his hands in his pockets, the golden morning light shone on his handsome face, and his pure black eyes reminded people of the night sky full of diamond-like stars.
"Do you like those shoes? How about I buy them for you - if I'm not mad at you after tutoring today."
The gentle autumn wind lifted the corners of Xia Arthur's clothes, and even the corners of his slightly curved mouth seemed to be tinged with the sweetness of the flower fragrance in the wind.
However, that sweet feeling could not reach my heart. I suddenly remembered the agreement with Xia Youtian. I could only shake my head and refuse him, "No, I don't like those shoes."
"Don't be embarrassed! I know you like it, so just consider it as my early birthday present for you!" Xia Arthur raised the corners of his mouth, with a clear light flashing in his eyes.
I took a deep breath and decided to keep my distance from him.
"Xiase, we are just ordinary classmates, you don't have to give me a birthday present!"
For a moment, Xia Arthur seemed to be shocked by my words, and the smile on his face became a little stiff, as if he had never expected me to say that.
"Zhencheng, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?"
I looked up, knowing that my next words would wipe out the smile on his lips, but I could only say it.
"Xiayasser, from today on... you don't need to tutor me anymore, and from now on I won't go to your house anymore." I said with my head down.
Several seconds later, Xiaya Arthur spoke, and his usually confident voice was unexpectedly panicked and confused.
"Why... Zhencheng, what are you talking about?"
"I..." I hesitated.
Before I could finish my sentence, Xia Arthur suddenly pretended to be calm and continued: "I know, you must be blaming me for being too harsh in my tone when I lectured you yesterday, right? No wonder...you were so strange yesterday, it turns out you had thought of a countermeasure and came to fight back this morning..."
This time, I felt even worse.
This was the first time I saw Xia Arthur talking to himself like this, and his unbelievably gentle tone made every nerve and every cell in my body tremble slightly.
"No, I'm serious. From today on, we shouldn't go home together. We're only entangled together because of the mobile phone, right?" I mustered up the courage to continue, "I've been bothering you all the time. You must feel very troubled, right? You also hate squeezing into the bus ? So, let's not continue living like this!"
For a moment, the atmosphere between us seemed to freeze.
After a long time, he slowly walked towards me.
I didn't dare look up at Seather's face, but his voice was low and hoarse, filled with anger that was impossible to ignore.
"Makino...do you know what you're saying? I hate being with you?"
He paused, then started again: "Your best subject is English, and you hate math the most. You don't like green onions, and you don't like drinking purified water. You wear size M for clothes, and size 36 for shoes... Do you still want me to tell you your measurements? "
I shook my head in panic.
"If I really hate you, then why would I know all this!"
It turns out that Xia Arthur has been paying so much attention to me secretly... A complex emotion surged in my heart, but I forced myself to say more hurtful words.
"But I know... from the beginning, we two were not willing to become friends!"
Oh my god! For the first time in my life, I realized how difficult it is to tell a lie!
Xia Arthur exuded a strong anger, but he closed his eyes and tried to suppress it. He came over and wanted to hold my hand: "Zhencheng, what's wrong with you... I won't force you to buy shoes anymore, okay?"
He looked at me deeply, and a pleading look appeared in his dark eyes. My heart almost broke. I wanted to hug him immediately and tell him the truth.
No, Zhencheng, you need to wake up!
Although no one knows where Xia Youtian came from, he is the one who can dominate Xia Arthur's fate!
I steeled myself and dodged his hand: "No, I didn't quarrel with you because of the shoes, but I really don't like being with you! Do you know that you are always so overbearing and ignore my feelings, which makes me very stressed?"
Xia Arthur's hand froze in mid-air, and I felt the air around me solidify and become terribly cold.
His voice became smaller and smaller: "I will change, I will understand your feelings in the future. I'm sorry..."
"No need! You don't have to change for me, we can just stop here!"
The sunlight gave Hiersch's eyelashes a small golden edge, giving his black eyes a sad tint.
"Are you sure you're telling the truth? Don't regret it when I leave!"
"Whoever regrets is a puppy!"
Xia Arthur made a phone call in a rage and called his driver.
During the waiting time, the sky slowly seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand. The sunlight was no longer bright, but instead looked extremely pale and lonely . The cold of winter attacked the heart, making people shiver.
The moment I stepped onto the bus, I turned around and saw Xi Yasser looking back at me, then strode towards the private car that came to pick him up.
