During the physical education class, Yang Cong secretly said to Tian Xin: "Everyone says that Zhuang Feize is dating you!"
Tian Xin, who was drinking water, almost choked and exclaimed in surprise: "Who said that? I and him, I and him..."
"You and him see each other every day now, and he takes you to eat at all the restaurants around here, so isn't that a relationship?"
"Maybe... he just has no one to eat with?" Tian Xin hesitated. But what Yang Cong said was indeed correct. The two of them had been eating together these past few days. Sometimes it was breakfast, sometimes it was lunch. Zhuang Feize would take the initiative to find her. Tian Xin didn't ask why, and Zhuang Feize didn't say anything either. The two of them chatted while eating. They looked no different from a couple, but Tian Xin knew that they were just friends.
"You're crazy, Zhuang Fize is afraid that no one will have dinner with him?" Yang Cong knocked on Tian Xin's head, "You confessed to him, but he really didn't reply to you?"
"What can I reply? He and I never talked about this issue again."
"I think you should take the initiative to ask. Otherwise, if you two are not related at all and stay together all day, it will be very disadvantageous for you, Tianxin."
Yang Cong's words made Tian Xin fall into deep thought. She knew that Yang Cong was right. She couldn't live in confusion all day. Some things had to be made clear one day. What did Zhuang Fize think of her, and how did he view the relationship between them?
Tian Xin's phone rang at this moment, and the caller happened to be Zhuang Feize. Tian Xin picked up the call, feeling a little nervous. She wondered what he wanted her to do today.
"Tianxin, do you have class today?"
"No." Tian Xin tugged at the corner of her clothes, and Yang Cong on the side winked at her.
"Oh, then why don't you come to the basketball court and wait for me? I'll take you out for dinner after the game." Zhuang Feize's tone was still indifferent, but it revealed some care and pampering, making it impossible for Tian Xin to refuse.
"Well... okay, I'll come to find you later." After thinking for a while, Tian Xin answered.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Cong shook his head and said, "Tianxin, Tianxin, you can't do this, or you will be eaten alive by Zhuang Feize."
"I'll make things clear today, don't worry." Tian Xin seemed to have made up her mind.
In fact, with Zhuang Fei Ze's company for so many days, Tian Xin's haze in the past two months has been swept away. Although they don't chat all the time, the fixed meal time every day has become an important meeting between the two. From childhood to adulthood, she has never looked forward to meeting someone every day like she does now. Even Jiang Siming didn't make her have such a strong desire.
Therefore, she always wanted to prolong this happiness, not wanting to break it by doing or saying anything. But today, she had to put an end to it all. Because growing up made her understand that some things, no matter how long they were delayed, would not change the result.
Zhuang Fize seldom plays basketball, but he will still come forward to help whenever the department needs help.
When the basketball game entered the second half, the original main player was sent to the infirmary because of a recurrence of his leg injury, so Zhuang Feize, who had originally planned to see Tian Xin, was temporarily called over.
When Tianxin arrived, the game had already ended and many people had left the field. Only Tianxin went against the flow and stood outside the men's locker room waiting for Zhuang Feize.
"Isn't that Su Tianxin? Is she here to see Zhuang Feize?"
"Obviously, everyone who comes here to watch the game is here for Zhuang Feize."
"Are they together?"
"Who knows?"
"I don't think so."
"Shh...she's coming."
Tian Xin carried Zhuang Fei Ze's favorite drink and walked past the chattering girls awkwardly. In the past ten days, she could vaguely hear other people's discussions in every place she went. She was somewhat unhappy at first, but over time, she got used to it.
Even if she was used to it, it didn't mean she didn't care about the rumors at all. So when Zhuang Feize came out, Tian Xin still had an embarrassed look on her face.
"I'm late." Tian Xin cheered up and smiled at him. Zhuang Feize took her water very naturally and took a big sip.
"I'm done packing, let's go." Zhuang Feize tried to pull Tian Xin's wrist, but Tian Xin dodged him.
"Zhuang Feize, I...I have something to tell you." Tian Xin became timid again, but she couldn't care less. She had to solve this problem today.
"What's the matter? We can eat first. I'm hungry..." Zhuang Feize didn't see what was on her mind.
"I think what we are doing is wrong." Tian Xin quickly interrupted him.
After realizing that the other party was not joking, Zhuang Fei Ze's expression became serious. He walked forward, stood very close to Tian Xin, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You and I are not right now." Tian Xin seemed to rack her brains to come up with these words, "You... are so outstanding, you are the campus idol of Nanyin University, and so many people like you. I don't know why you come to me for dinner every day."
"You, you should remember what I said to you not long ago. I don't know what you think, but I just don't want to be so unclear anymore."
"Do you think there's something unclear between us?" Zhuang Feize frowned. He really didn't understand girls' thoughts. Could it be that she wouldn't notice it if he accompanied her like this every day?
Tian Xin bit her lip, made up her mind, and said everything she wanted to say: "Do you regard me as a friend, or... someone you like?"
So this is what she wanted to ask?
Zhuang Fei Ze actually already had the answer in his mind, but he was just used to being silent, with his long and thick eyelashes drooping, thinking about how to best answer her. But after just a few seconds of pausing, the timid Tian Xin immediately stretched out her hand and made a "stop" gesture to stop him from speaking. Tian Xin couldn't stand her heart beating wildly like a demon, and she was afraid that she couldn't bear him saying that they were just friends.
"Don't say any more. I think you need some time to think about this problem. Before you think it through, I, I can't eat with you every day for no apparent reason."
After saying that, Tian Xin turned around quickly, without even having time to glance at Zhuang Feize's reaction. Just like her cowardly confession that day, she fled the scene at the speed of a 100-meter sprint .
In the high-end apartment, silver-grey curtains covered the French windows, and in front of the French windows stood a Nordic-style white leather sofa. A boy in satin home clothes was flipping through the most fashionable magazines while drinking red wine. At this time, Zhuang Feize, wearing a light blue shirt and white trousers, came up to him with a plate of cut fruits and put it on the table for him.
"Well, you can cut into the topic now." Zhuang Feizawa glanced at Zhuang Feichi coldly. If he didn't know how to coax sweetness, he would not run to find this annoying guy. Zhuang Feizawa told Zhuang Feichi in a real thing to tell him.
"Since she has said that she likes you, you should make a clear statement. Either you like her, or you don't." Zhuang Feichi went straight to the point, but Zhuang Feize frowned.
"I was stunned at the time and didn't know what to say. Then Tian Xin ran away. Are all girls like this? They are so excited when they confess their love, and then they run away after they're done?" Zhuang Feize smiled bitterly and rubbed his temples with a headache.
"With Tianxin's personality, of course she would run away after confessing her feelings." Zhuang Feichi shook his head, wishing he could give her a slap on the face. How could he have such an unromantic brother!
"Don't think that she was so active in liking Jiang Siming before, but did she confess her feelings to him? No, she kept dragging her feet, and in the end Jiang Siming found a girlfriend, but she was still busy doing nothing."
"Also, you disappeared for such a long time without contacting her. She must have thought that you didn't like her. So even if she confessed her love, she would think that you were unlikely to like her. So in order to save her face, she chose to run away."
"Is that so?" Zhuang Feize seemed to suddenly understand a little, but...
"Do I look like I don't like her?"
"You were gone for such a long time without sending her any messages. Do you think you were showing that you liked her?" Zhuang Feichi glared at Zhuang Feize. "Then you came back to help her out. It was obviously a good opportunity to break the ice, but you just left with a cold face? I tell you, you only have a pretty face. Otherwise, with such low EQ, you would never find a girlfriend!" As he said that, Zhuang Feichi threw the pillow on Zhuang Feize, his face full of disgust.
"Now she has given me a new problem." Zhuang Fei Ze pulled his hair in frustration, "I still don't understand. I take her out to eat every day, in front of almost everyone in the school. Isn't this a big deal to her?"
Perhaps Su Tianxin is the only person in this world who can make Zhuang Fize, who is never troubled by anything, so distressed.
"You'll only make her the public enemy of all girls by doing this, okay?" Zhuang Feichi rolled his eyes. "You didn't make a clear confession, nor did you tell her that you were together. She will just think that you are flirting with her. And not only her, but everyone in the school will think so. Do you think this will be good for her? Jiang Siming's matter has already made her life difficult at school, and now with you, the famous school hunk, I feel sorry for Tianxin." Zhuang Feichi pretended to cover his chest and acted like he was heartbroken.
"It seems like what you said is right." Zhuang Fei Ze thought about it. From childhood to adulthood, he had always done everything perfectly, except for love, which seemed to be a congenital lack of this skill. Tian Xin was the only girl who made his heart beat fast since he was a child, so when facing Tian Xin, he was even more clumsy than usual.
"So how can I make it up to her?"
"You finally got it!" Zhuang Feichi sat up suddenly and snapped his fingers happily.
"What Tianxin needs most right now is your confession and approval. You can carefully prepare a confession and then announce that she is your girlfriend in front of everyone in the school. Isn't that OK? But don't tell her in advance. This kind of thing should be a surprise for her."
"That's it?" Zhuang Feize subconsciously widened his eyes.
"That's it!" Zhuang Feichi raised his hand and patted his "useless" brother's shoulder hard.
As the day progressed, the temperature in this southern city soared.
It was only nine o'clock in the morning, but the scorching sun was already streaming in through the pink window screens, waking Tianxin up from her sleep.
I dreamed about that person again last night. Tian Xin sat up helplessly, hugging the Hello Kitty pillow and leaning against the bed. It seemed that because she was awake, everything in the dream gradually became distant, and there were still scattered fragments in her mind: Zhuang Fei Ze looked cold to her, went shopping hand in hand with another girl, and he didn't reply to Tian Xin's calls and WeChat messages.
At this moment, Tian Xin finally understood that liking someone is a subtle torture. It won't kill people, but it will make people feel so miserable that life would be worse than death.
She thought Jiang Siming had already made her very sad, but at this moment she realized that her love for Jiang Siming was nothing more than a habit and dependence of youth, and even unwillingness. But for Zhuang Feize, she was truly moved.
What should I do? After saying that before, will Zhuang Feize think that I am weird?
The more she thought about it, the more troubled she became. She was really too impulsive! Fortunately, at this time, a call from Yang Cong temporarily pulled her out of this annoyed mood.
"Tianxin, don't sleep, I have good news to tell you!" Yang Cong was excited, as if some happy event had happened.
"What's wrong?" Tianxin's voice was still a little hoarse because she had just woken up.
"Someone saw Zhuang Feize buying a cart of flowers, as well as hydrogen balloons and other things. Everyone said he was going to confess his love to someone. Do you think he was going to confess his love to you?"
"Confession?" Tian Xin almost jumped off the bed. This news was too shocking for her. Could it be that Zhuang Fize really wanted to confess his love to her? But... that wasn't right. How could a big ice cube like Zhuang Fize do such a thing?
"Not with me? They must have seen it wrong!" After thinking for a while, Tian Xin said firmly. But her restless look still betrayed herself. She didn't think Zhuang Feize would be willing to do these things for her. After all, he didn't react at all in the past two days. But, if not for herself, then who was he doing it for? Does he have a real crush on someone? But hasn't he been with her all this time? Does he still have time to date other girls?
The depressed emotion deep in her heart came out again, poking Tianxin's fragile heart.
"Who else should I be with if not you? I think I'm going to confess to you!" Yang Cong said firmly. But these words did not make Tian Xin happy, but made her even more depressed. She didn't want to hear anything about Zhuang Feize anymore, so she found an excuse to hang up Yang Cong's phone.
After putting down her phone, Tian Xin really didn't feel like doing anything else. After "spreading" the pancakes on the bed for a while, Tian Xin suddenly remembered that a movie she wanted to watch recently was released. She climbed down from the bed and took out a beautiful goose yellow suit from the closet. Tian Xin silently looked at the haggard girl in the mirror and planned to go to the movie to calm down.
After packing up, Tian Xin ran to the cinema alone to wait for the movie to start. Because the cinema was close to the school, most of the people watching were students from Nanyin University. Because of Zhuang Feize, Tian Xin became very famous in the school, so much so that as soon as she got her ticket, she heard several girls from Nanyin University talking about her.
"Isn't that Su Tianxin? Look!"
"It's really her, she doesn't look that good!"
"I heard that she and Zhuang Fize have been particularly intimate recently?"
"I guess she's the one who's pestering him. And I heard that Zhuang Feize is going to have a girlfriend, and he even bought flowers for her!" "Really? Really? Then there's definitely no hope for her, haha!"
Tian Xin originally stopped thinking about these things, but these messy things always find their way into Tian Xin's life. She plugged her ears with headphones in anger, trying to restrain herself from listening. But Tian Xin knew that no matter how much she restrained herself, her sad heart had already begun to oxidize, and no one could stop it.
Tian Xin was absent-minded throughout the two-hour movie. No matter whose face was shown on the big screen, she couldn't concentrate. All that appeared in her mind was Zhuang Fize's shadow. His expressionless face often smiled at her tenderly. His tall figure walking beside her always blocked a large area of ​​sunlight for her. He had a pleasant and clean smell that belonged to him, and his clear and magnetic voice.
When she came out of the cinema, Tian Xin felt like she was going crazy.
What should I do? I miss him so much.
When we are together every day, I don’t feel like I miss him that much, but if we haven’t been in touch for two or three days, Tianxin feels like she is going crazy.
Or... go find him?
No, no, you must not do such a thing that would slap yourself in the face!
Tian Xin squatted on the ground helplessly, feeling aggrieved like a kitten. She really didn't know what to do, and she didn't want to go back to school, because once she went back to school, she would miss Zhuang Fize even more. However, just when she was "desperate" and "homeless", her phone rang.
The only people who could call her at this time would probably be Yang Cong and others.
Tian Xin picked up the phone listlessly, but when she saw the name on the screen, she couldn't help screaming. Fortunately, there were not many people around, otherwise she would be regarded as a lunatic.
That’s right, it’s Zhuang Fize!
It has been three days since I last saw these three words. Tian Xin felt as if she had been given a shot of powerful chicken blood and became extremely excited .
She calmed down for a few seconds before answering the phone.
"Hello, Tianxin?" The voice on the other end was still so nice.
"Yes, it's me." Tian Xin's voice began to tremble with nervousness.
"I was a bit busy these two days, so I didn't contact you." Zhuang Fize's voice still sounded calm, which made Tian Xin somewhat disappointed.
"Are you free tomorrow afternoon?" he asked straight to the point.
"Oh, yes."
"Then wait for me in the piano room tomorrow night." Zhuang Feize's voice suddenly became cheerful.
"Oh... OK, OK." Tian Xin tried hard to control her voice from rising, but in fact, she was so excited that she wanted to scream. Could it be that Zhuang Fize really bought those flowers for her? Tian Xin wanted to ask, but before she could ask, Zhuang Fize said, "Then wait for me there at 8 o'clock tomorrow night. See you there."
"Okay, see you there."
Just like that, the call was hung up. Tianxin held the phone stupidly, and after a long pause, she finally burst into a suppressed scream. The three days of distraction finally came to an end, and the enthusiastic and sunny Su Tianxin returned to her place in an instant.
See you there, yes, see you there.
Tian Xin covered her face, her eyes sparkling like stars. She told herself in her heart, Tian Xin, you can't be stupid this time, no matter what, you have to show your best side and hold on to him!
That night, Tian Xin still didn't sleep well. But she had a beautiful dream. She dreamed of Zhuang Fize again, but this time Zhuang Fize was particularly gentle to her. He held her hand and the two of them strolled in the park. However, sweet dreams are always short-lived. When Tian Xin woke up the next day, she found that it was almost ten o'clock.
Oops!
She got up suddenly. There was not much time left before their meeting in the evening. She had an appointment at the barber shop to get her hair done today, and the clothes in her closet had not been "updated" for a long time. But no matter what, she had to show her best side to Zhuang Feize.
so--
Tian Xin casually put on a casual outfit, put on some light makeup, and left the dormitory as quickly as possible. In fact, this day was even busier than Tian Xin expected, because girls are troublesome. She first went to the mall, and after shopping for a long time, she finally chose a dress that she was satisfied with - a pink off-shoulder dress with a big bow tied around the waist as a decoration. It was a little cute and a little feminine, but Tian Xin thought about her own matching and realized that she didn't have shoes that matched this dress.
Okay, let’s just keep shopping and go for it.
So she spent the whole day in the mall, bought a pair of exquisite and elegant high heels, and a shiny shoulder bag. When she arrived at the hair salon, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. She was so tired that she took a nap there. When she woke up again, the princess hairstyle was done.
Looking at her refreshed self in the mirror, Tian Xin shyly covered her cheeks again.
Zhuang Fize, would you like yourself like this?
With infinite expectations in her heart, Tian Xin walked on the road of the campus in her high heels. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the flowers in the school were blooming. The evening breeze with the fragrance of flowers lingered around Tian Xin, and she felt that every cell in her body was so happy.
I am so happy that I feel like a soaring bird.
Zhuang Fize, I really like you and really want to see you every day.
Tian Xin predicted in her heart what she wanted to say to him in the evening, but at this moment, the phone rang. It was Zhuang Feize. However, there were still two hours before the meeting in the evening, so what was he doing?
"Hello, Tianxin." After the call was connected, Zhuang Feize's slightly anxious and apologetic voice came from the other end.
"What's wrong?" Tian Xin's brows jumped for no reason.
"I'm afraid we have to cancel the meeting tonight. My brother asked me to come over urgently. It's really urgent." Zhuang Fei Ze's tone was full of apology. Tian Xin didn't know that the legendary car of roses was right next to him at this moment. There were also many props and balloons bought for confession in the car, but he had to leave now. Something happened to the archaeological team and they needed support urgently. This project was a project that his father valued very much. His brother and he had been trying to help. Because it was too important, many things in life had to be delayed, including Tian Xin, but he really didn't know how to explain it to her properly.
"Ah?" Tian Xin's smile froze on her face. The street lights around her lit up at this moment, making her eyes a little blurry. She froze in place, and the bag on her shoulder fell off and slid to the ground. Tian Xin looked at her shiny shoes, and suddenly she felt a suffocating pain in her chest.
"I'm sorry, Tianxin. I'm really sorry." Zhuang Fize explained, "I'll explain it to you when I come back, okay?"
Come back? Tian Xin suddenly smiled, but her smile was mixed with tears: "Come back? In two months?"
"Tian Xin - I'm really sorry, but I'm really in a hurry now. Let's just leave it at that. Can you wait for me to come back?" After saying this, the phone was hung up again. Tian Xin could no longer control her emotions and squatted on the ground and cried.
She couldn't believe what Zhuang Feize said. After all, there had never been any promises between them.
She also didn't want to go back to the life she had two months ago, with no way of contacting him and no news from him.
She liked him, so much, but what was the use? Maybe, it was really like what they said, many things that should be happy were actually painful.
For example, I like you.
