Chapter 9: Wood is awakening Four
During the lunch break, Lingling followed me all the time. After lunch, she pulled me to the playground: "Walk faster, walk faster, it's already started." She urged me as we walked.
"I just had a meal, I can't walk too fast!" I rubbed my stomach and said pretending to be indifferent.
The early spring sun was warm, and it gave people a comfortable feeling of warmth. From a distance, I saw An Yixuan running in the playground. He was wearing a white jersey, but his expression was distracted. Until he saw me, his handsome face full of emotions smiled.
I let Lingling drag me to the edge of the playground and sit down. I quietly looked at An Yixuan. An Yixuan started to play hard, which was completely different from his carelessness just now. And he was always looking at me. After every successful goal, he would look at me and smile. That smile was like the warm spring breeze, which made people feel comfortable and itchy. Most of the anger in my heart disappeared unconsciously. Girls are always soft-hearted. I don’t know if my feeling is right. I also don’t know if An Yixuan is like this because he cares about me or because I suddenly ignored him.
The girls were still cheering loudly, but An Yixuan only looked at me. I have to say that I am still a little vain. Lingling was also very excited beside me, so I smiled softly. An Yixuan was even happier when he saw me smiling on the playground, and he played the ball even harder.
"An Yixuan, you are so awesome!" Yayi's voice suddenly appeared.
I glanced at Yayi and the smile on my face disappeared immediately: "Let's stop looking and go back." I didn't wait for Lingdang to speak and pulled Lingdang away.
"Xizi, what's wrong with you?" An Yixuan threw the ball to his teammate and ran down to stop me.
"Not much, I don't want to watch it anymore, I want to go back to the classroom." I said angrily.
"Wasn't everything fine just now? Can we not quarrel?" An Yixuan's voice softened.
Everyone who was playing stopped, and the students who were watching looked towards us curiously.
"Did I do anything to make you unhappy?" An Yixuan said cautiously.
"Wow, who is that girl? How dare she show disrespect to An Yixuan?"
"Why does An Yixuan look so gentle?"
The whispering sounded in my ears. I looked at Yayi who was standing not far away with a gloomy . Yayi bit his lip and looked back at me provocatively. "I just don't want to watch you play basketball anymore." I pulled the bell and left.
While I was dragging Lingling away, she kept looking back: "What's wrong with you? You were fine just now? There's no need to react so strongly when you see Yayi!"
"Why do you have so much to say?" I said to Lingling with a reproachful look.
"What the hell, why didn't you ask for it? Why did you leave?" Lingling knocked her head on the table while sitting in the classroom. "What's the point of leaving like this?"
"Hey, can you please be quiet? I'm feeling very confused!" I said unhappily and picked up a book to read.
"Don't be angry, I still think there's nothing wrong with An Yixuan and Yayi. An Yixuan is so outstanding, and most of the girls in our school like him. What's the big deal! As for the confession you mentioned, as far as I know, someone confesses to him every three or four days. Someone in our class has confessed to him, but I've never heard of An Yixuan agreeing to anyone!" Lingling still spared no effort to speak well of An Yixuan.
I covered my ears and lay on the table. It’s not that I don’t want to believe An Yixuan, but An Yixuan once talked about his past in high school and the girls he dated. How could I not care?
"Sakiko, come out with me!" I felt someone pulling my arm up forcefully.
"What are you doing?" I exclaimed. An Yixuan rushed into our class and dragged me out. "Let me go, what do you want to do?" I shouted in surprise.
"Come with me, we have to talk it through!" An Yixuan pulled me to a secluded place before letting me go. He was still wearing his sportswear, with beads of sweat on his face. His obsidian eyes looked at me steadily with a serious expression.
"What do you want to say?" I turned my back to An Yixuan, with a hint of grievance in my tone.
"Are you angry because of Yayi?" An Yixuan stood in front of me and forced me to look at him. "I've said before that there's nothing between her and me. I've never accepted her and I don't like her at all!" He looked anxious. "If you don't like her, I will never contact her again, okay?" His expression was sincere, as if he was really afraid that I would ignore him.
"I..." I looked at An Yixuan's serious and worried expression, and my eyes couldn't help but turn red. I had so much fear and uncertainty in my heart. The more I loved him, the more scared I was. But now I realized that An Yixuan cared about me as well ! Looking at him, I remembered a lot of past events. He was so good to me. It was so difficult for the two of us, but he kept working hard. We were together for so long, and he changed so much for me. Did I misunderstand him all the time? I thought his love for me was not deep enough or enough.
"Don't cry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made you sad. I'm so stupid that I didn't know why you were angry!" An Yixuan became even more anxious when he saw that I looked like I was about to cry.
"Silly... who made you so outstanding? There are so many girls chasing after you. What am I?" I lowered my head, tears flowing uncontrollably. I really wanted to tell the whole truth. It was so difficult for me to go back to the age of 16 and meet him again. We used to love each other so much, and he used to love me so much...
"You are the fool. I don't care how many people like me, because I only like you!" An Yixuan held my shoulders and hugged me in his arms. "I'm sorry, I promise I will never make you sad again."
"Hate it, hugging and kissing in school!" I pushed An Yixuan away and burst into laughter, my heart was filled with joy, as if immersed in a pink love bubble. After 10 years of memories, I finally got together with An Yixuan 10 years earlier, so does that mean there will be no more things for other girls?
"Look at you, crying and laughing, I don't know what to do. Did you cast a spell on me that makes me always think of you!" An Yixuan touched my hair, his tone full of helpless doting.
"Hmph, it's obviously you who cast a spell on me!" I pinched his arm hard, "You've made me lose my appetite and even have trouble sleeping." It's a pity that I'm too young to pounce on him and bite him. I always feel that I should bite him hard now to feel relieved.
"You really make me helpless. How about I treat you to dinner tonight to make it up to you?" An Yixuan said with a smile, "Ring the bell again, and let's go together after school!" An Yixuan touched my head and said, "Be good and go to class."
I returned to the classroom with a smile on my face. Lingling knew from my expression that An Yixuan and I had reconciled. She breathed a sigh of relief and seemed happier than me: "You two have finally reconciled. An Yixuan is really capable. He made you so happy."
"Hey, let's go together tonight. He said he would treat us to dinner." I was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice with a red face.
"Wow, that's great, long live Anyixuan!" Lingling became even more excited when she heard that she was invited to dinner. Fortunately, I covered her mouth when she said the last sentence, otherwise I would have been in the headlines.
After school, An Yixuan was waiting for me and Lingdang at the school gate. Lingdang was clamoring to eat wontons.
"I know a wonton shop that's really delicious. I'll take you there to eat." An Yixuan said in a good mood. As we were walking, he suddenly grabbed my hand and said, "I feel safer holding your hand."
I looked at An Yixuan's nervous look and wanted to laugh: "I'm not a child."
"But you get angry more easily than a child!" An Yixuan pouted. That expression was so cute that I couldn't help but pinch his bulging cheeks.
"That's enough, you two. Showing affection like this in front of me. I feel like I'm full even without eating! Don't you two realize who you are together because of? Who helped Xizi climb over the wall? Who took Xizi to watch basketball?" Lingling complained.
"It's all because of our great Lord Lingling. I'll give you an egg and a sausage later!" An Yixiuan said in a rare flattering tone.
"Hahaha, thank you!" Lingling blinked at me and her saliva seemed to be about to flow down.
"Can you be a little more promising?" I sighed.
"Then add a chicken leg." Lingling said to An Yixuan.
"No problem!" An Yixuan held my hand and answered with a smile.
Looking at Lingling and An Yixuan, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction, as if my life was complete. I kept praying, hoping that the nightmare girl would never appear again, but could I avoid the arrangement of fate?
