Chapter VII
That elective course only had two classes a week, so I could spend a week away from seeing Qi Han, which made me feel relieved.
After thinking it over, I still didn't reply to those two text messages, including his later text messages, which I responded perfunctorily.
But I didn’t expect that the photography club organized a camping and field trip on the weekend, and I heard that it was initiated by Qi Han.
I can't deny the identity of "rumored girlfriend" .
When we were climbing the mountain, he led the way and I walked at the end. Our eyes met from time to time, but I looked away first.
He seemed to be smiling in my peripheral vision, but I didn't dare look at him again.
When we arrived at the place and everyone was setting up their tents, I realized that Qi Han and I were in the same tent.
As night fell, I squatted by the fire, trying to kill time, but a hand fell on my shoulder.
"How long are you going to hide from me?"
Qi Han put his arm around my shoulders. There were many classmates around, so I didn’t dare to act rashly: “…No.”
He squinted his eyes and said, "Student Jing Yuan, I'm not blind."
"Um…"
I was forced to lean into his arms, even my breathing became lighter: "Qi Han, don't..."
He didn't say anything, but twisted my chin: "Why don't you dare look at me?"
I couldn't hide, so I looked away.
"Yuanyuan, you are not uninterested in me."
Qi Han was very close to me: "Then why not give it a try?"
"Too... too anxious."
"Not in a hurry."
His eyes dimmed slightly, and the next second, he kissed her without hesitation: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The relationship with Qi Han was thus determined.
Even though I had a vague feeling about this when I became the "rumored girlfriend", it still feels a little unreal now.
We slept in the same tent, I wrapped myself in the sleeping bag, and he sat next to me looking at today's photos.
As if noticing it, he looked over with a smile: "Not used to it?"
"Are you not used to sleeping here, or are you not used to me being your boyfriend?" To be honest, it was both.
I didn't know why he liked me, but I didn't ask.
It's like a premonition, a natural thing.
Finally, Qi Han put down the camera, took a blanket to cover us, and fell asleep next to me.
After the lights went out, all my senses were infinitely magnified, but I had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It was as if this scene had happened many times before.
He covered me with a blanket, and the cool came over me, very familiar.
"What are you looking at me for?" Qi Han noticed, lowered his head, and gently kissed me on the forehead.
"It's so dark, how do you know I'm looking at you?"
"I just know it."
I was silent for a moment: "What perfume do you use?"
"Um?"
"It feels very familiar, like I've smelled it somewhere before."
He put his fingertips on my lips: "That means you have fallen in love with me in your dream."
It was raining in the mountains at night, a gentle drizzle.
Qi Han hugged me and lowered his head to kiss me bit by bit.
I suddenly said, "Why are your hands always so cold?"
He seemed stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yuanyuan, you are too warm."
Then, before I could continue, his lips covered mine.
Accompanied by the rain outside, drop by drop.
"Qi Han..."
"What's wrong?"
I don't understand. We had just confirmed our relationship, so why was he so skilled that he could even press the small mole on my collarbone accurately?
"…Have you known me for a long time?"
…
The next day when we went down the mountain, Qi Han and I were at the end.
He found a mountain spring and took me to fetch water.
The woods were quiet and covered with bushes. I squatted and scooped some mountain spring water with my hands to taste it.
Qi Han packed some and took it away, saying that he would use it to raise fish and then give it to me.
"What about changing the water?"
"I'll come back to get it when I have time."
It sounds troublesome, but he is always so patient.
"The fish are so lively and active that it doesn't matter where you put them."
"Stop?"
Just as I was wondering about his choice of words, Qi Han had already pulled me up.
"Let's go."
He smiled at me tenderly: "It's time to go down the mountain."
The journey down the mountain was obviously much faster.
I missed the last rock and fell forward.
Qi Han stopped me and I fell into his arms.
His ears were against his hard heartbeat.
My face instantly turned red.
"Yuanyuan, if you want to throw yourself into my arms, you don't have to go through so much trouble."
But Qi Han wouldn't let me push him away: "Just a look from you and I'll do it."
I was about to speak when I caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of my eye.
Xie Yan.
He leaned against the tree, folded his arms, and looked over here with an indifferent and forbearing look.
I actually felt a bit aggrieved.
That day I lied to him and didn't stay with Qi Han.
I felt a little guilty for some reason, but it quickly disappeared.
He is just a relative's brother.
"Thank you, Senior."
Qi Han noticed it and gave a generous smile: "Are you here to climb the mountain too?"
Xie Yan curled his lips coldly: "No, I came to pick up my sister."
"Jing Yuan, it's time to go home." Xie Yan said coldly.
