In the new semester of their senior year of high school, Xu Song, who had always sat alone, became deskmates with the new student, Ning Qingxu. After getting to know each other for a semester, they...
Chapter 42
Ning Qingxu was very close and spoke in a low voice: "You don't have to do this.
Don't force yourself. If you are dissatisfied or unhappy, you can tell me. I won't find you annoying, nor will I think you are meddling too much.
But you didn’t say anything, and I didn’t know what to do.”
His voice is like a powerful drug that makes people fall into it involuntarily. Even if it is an illusion or bubble, they still want to grab it.
"Are you kidding me?" Xu Song said.
"No." Ning Qingxu also looked at him.
Quite serious, I'm serious.
When they got off the plane, the group was in chaos, and An Qian called Ning Qingxu away.
After getting off the plane, the group didn’t know when they would have time to get together again.
It was a very sunny day. An Qian was wearing a sun hat. She shielded her face with her hands and said to Ning Qingxu, "After we separate this time, I don't know when we'll see each other again."
Ning Qingxu looked at her without responding, as if she didn't want to continue the conversation.
An Qian tiptoed and rubbed the ground, her voice gentle: "Maybe you all can see it. I... like you very much.
Maybe because of this incident, I did a lot of childish things. Don't worry, I don't have any interest in interfering in other people's love lives. Um... you seemed a little disgusted with me when you were looking at the recipe the other day.
I could tell from that moment on, and that night I was reflecting on myself, you know, I didn’t sleep the whole night. Can we still be… friends?”
Ning Qingxu said "hmm" perfunctorily.
An Qian laughed: "Xu Song is a very nice person..."
Ning Qingxu interrupted her: "I know."
"Don't you like me mentioning him?" An Qian tested him.
Ning Qingxu really didn't like her talking about Xu Song. After all, Xu Song didn't like her very much. Because they were friends, he was a little vague about it.
"No, the pick-up car is coming soon." Ning Qingxu said.
She glanced at the crowd briefly, not sure whether she was looking at them or Xu Song.
"Can you... give me a hug?"
Her tone was filled with pleading. A normal Alpha, no matter how cruel he was, would not be able to bear to see such a sincere statement go unfulfilled.
Ning Qingxu remained silent.
"Okay." An Qian said helplessly.
An Qian pulled Ning Qingxu's hand, and noticing his struggle, she gently reminded him, "Don't move, just for a moment. I won't do anything that crosses the line."
The other party stopped struggling. She took one of his hands and touched it with her fist.
Her smile deepened, and she said the last words in a gentle voice: "Goodbye."
After saying that, he went into the crowd and walked away holding Tang Yun's hand.
After she left, the group of people followed one after another.
When getting in the car, Luo Wenhui couldn't hold back her curiosity anymore. She rubbed her hands and deliberately got close to Ning Qingxu, touching him with a smile.
Ning Qingxu looked at him puzzledly.
He stretched out his right hand and waved it: "Hey, don't pretend, you really don't know what I want to ask."
Ning Qingxu nodded.
"I really don't know," Luo Wenhui asked.
Li Ziyan spread his hands and said, "Just tell me what you want to say. You've already aroused my emotions. Right, Litang?"
"That's right." Li Tang supported.
Luo Wenhui looked at their eager eyes and asked Ning Qingxu in a mean way: "Hey, just now, why did the girl from the next class in high school ask you to come over?"
Did you seduce that girl, and she confessed her love to you, and then... you rejected her?"
Li Ru slapped his thigh and laughed at him: "Luo Wenhui, are you attracted to that little girl? You keep asking her questions every day. Aren't you ashamed?"
Luo Wenhui slapped Li Ru, but hit nothing.
"Go, go, go, go, bullshit. I'm guilty of gossiping. Ning Qingxu, I really don't believe you when you say she's not interested in you."
The boy who was called raised his eyelids in surprise, his gaze fell gently on his lover, like an invisible caress.
Xu Song was looking around, seemingly looking for a pick-up car.
"No. There was nothing to confess, I just said goodbye."
Ning Qingxu's eyes never left Xu Song, as if he was afraid that if he stopped watching him, he would run away and be lost.
"Ouch, ouch, you're afraid that the school bully will get angry and beat you up, so your eyes are almost glued to me." Li Ziyan was as shameless as ever.
Xu Song suddenly turned around and patted Li Ziyan on the shoulder, his expression calm and indifferent: "Okay, the car is here, let's go."
The group boarded the bus. Xu Song and Ning Qingxu, a rare sight, weren't in the same car. Ning Qingxu's face was grim. Li Ru sat closest to Ning Qingxu this time, and Li Tang winked at him. Li Ru couldn't believe it.
He mouthed to Litang: "You asked me to coax this ancestor"
Li Tang nodded vigorously, and his hair swayed along with the other.
"Otherwise, you sit closest to him."
Li Ru took a deep breath, his expression changed from "incredible" to "this world is so beautiful, but what sin have I committed?" La Ning Qingxu with a fake smile on his face.
Ning Qingxu had an expression that said, "If you have to fart, just fart quickly. I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense."
Li Ru slapped his thigh and smiled bitterly: "Hey, ancestor, you are my ancestor! Your Majesty, don't put on such a sour face. If the school bully sees you like this, he will think you are angry with him and will definitely ignore you again."
The boy thought for a few seconds and turned back without saying a word to Li Ru.
It's like the pain of a minister giving advice to the emperor and having his entire family executed.
It’s true.
It really looks like it.
Li Ru asked Li Tang helplessly. Li Tang rolled his eyes and said, "What can I do? Go and try to coax her. If you can't coax her, then wait for the 'Emperor' to execute your entire family."
Li Ru was forced to turn back, but the emperor did not look at his face.
"Your Majesty, please try to coax the Queen. She will soften her heart once you coax her. But that girl is really going too far. The husband is still alive, but she wants to be a concubine." Li Ru spoke in a lazy and absent-minded voice.
Li Tang couldn't help laughing and said, "You look like a eunuch, Li Ru."
Li Ru was not angry at being framed, and followed her words and said: "Well, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is."
Ning Qingxu rested his chin on his hand and looked at the window glass. He took out his phone and clicked on Xu Song in the list.
His slender fingers tapped lightly on the phone. After editing a paragraph, he clicked send without hesitation.
Ning Qingxu: Come to my house today to let your aunt know you’re safe. My mom really wants to see you.
Reply immediately. The other party is probably bored and playing with his phone.
Xu Song: Is it Auntie who wants to see me, or is it your selfish motive?
Ning Qingxu laughed out loud.
Guessed.
Install it.
Ning Qingxu quickly switched to Ye Lan's list.
Ning Qingxu: I said you want to see Xu Song, ask him to come over and play.
Ye Lan replied immediately. She was at home and was a writer by profession. She didn't go home and didn't have a specific work location.
Ye Lan: You are using me as a shield.
Without waiting for Ning Qingxu to reply.
Ye Lan: But that’s okay. Actually, I really want to see him too.
Ning Qingxu replied, "Yeah." The scene then switched to Xu Song.
Ning Qingxu: No, if you don’t believe me, go ask her.
Afraid that Xu Song wouldn't believe it, he added another sentence.
Ning Qingxu: If you don't go, she'll probably be very sad. You don't want to see a woman cry, do you?
Xu Song's emotions were aroused, and he actually laughed in the end.
Xu Song: It's not as serious as you say. Okay, okay, I'll go. But remember, I'm going to see my aunt, not because of you.
Ning Qingxu replied "OK".
Ye Lan's voicemail played twice. Ning Qingxu glanced at Li Ru and Li Tang, making sure they weren't looking at him before plugging in his headphones.
"Hey Qingxu, just use me as a sign. If you want to invite someone over, just do it yourself. Why do you have to make excuses?"
There was a distinct smile in Ye Lan's voice. Ning Qingxu clicked on the next one with great interest.
"Are you...excuse me?"
Ning Qingxu chuckled.
The two people on the side were thinking rapidly, they really couldn't imagine that the "Emperor" could change his expression so quickly.
Li Tang mouthed to Li Ru, "What's wrong with him?" Li Ru mouthed back, "I don't know."
Ning Qingxu was sitting in the car, and it was not convenient to play voice messages, so he just typed directly.
Ning Qingxu: No.
Ye Lan [Voice 18s]: Not yet, no, my son is still a dead tsundere, hahaha. Just in time, when Xu Song comes over, I can observe the daily life of young couples up close, and I’ll have material for my article again…
Ning Qingxu was silent for a moment. After sending a text message, he turned off his phone.
“Why don’t you write about yourself?”
