Chapter 74 Another Shura Field

After finishing the hot pot, Xu Qingqing patted her stomach in satisfaction, saying, "I'm so full~"

Sheng Wan also burped beside him. "Not bad, not bad. The forum post really lived up to my expectations. Good quality and low price. Isn't it poetic?"

Meng Shiyi had no appetite at all, and the food tasted like wax, but she still forced a smile: "Indeed, it's delicious."

These days, Meng Shiyi's mood has become low, like an unripe green plum, the longer it stays depressed, the more sour it becomes.

But in the eyes of others, she was no different from usual, still talking and laughing, and still reading quietly.

Finished classes this week.

Meng Shiyi suddenly developed a low fever and felt dizzy. She took the medicine in a daze and fell on the bed.

Her feet were cold and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't warm them up with the quilt.

She has been dreaming a lot at night recently, having intermittent nightmares that wake her up repeatedly. Sometimes, she knows it is a nightmare but cannot wake up, leaving her alone in the darkness and chaos.

She dreamed that He Xilou went to a hotel with a cheongsam beauty, that He Xilou affectionately called someone "sister" or "little princess," and that He Xilou put a bracelet on someone else...

And who was she? He Xilou just teased her when he was bored.

Sheng Wan asked with concern: "Shiyi, what's wrong with you recently? I always feel like something is wrong with you."

After that hotpot meal, Meng Shiyi felt weird. She kept things in her heart, and she was afraid that it would make her sick.

Meng Shiyi curled up in the quilt, her voice hoarse: "Wanwan, I'm fine, just a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine after taking some medicine. Don't worry about me."

Xu Qingqing felt a little distressed: "Okay, then you should rest more these few days."

"Um."

The next day, Meng Shiyi finally felt much better and her dizziness was not as severe, but she still couldn't muster up energy.

Meng Shiyi had no classes that night.

It was difficult to concentrate in the dormitory, so she simply ran to the library to do her homework, hoping to numb herself with homework.

There were a lot of people in the Imperial University library, most of them were hardworking students. It was so quiet that the only sound was the turning of pages.

Meng Shiyi searched for a long time and finally found a quiet and deserted place in the corner. She picked up a pen and immersed herself in studying.

After a while, a shadow fell in front.

Song Wenzhou sat across from her, his eyes lit up in surprise, and he asked softly, "What a coincidence, you're here too?"

Meng Shiyi nodded at him and politely said "Squad Leader".

The two of them studied quietly like this for a while.

Song Wenzhou didn't expect to meet Meng Shiyi today. He found it difficult to concentrate on his homework. He secretly glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, feeling indescribable emotions in his heart.

Meng Shiyi sat across from me, working diligently on her homework. Her head was slightly lowered, the light shimmering across her delicate, fair profile, like a newly blossoming white camellia, so tranquil and serene it made one want to draw near, to pick a glimpse.

Song Wenzhou's eyelashes trembled, and he looked away after a long time.

Meng Shiyi came to the library and turned on silent mode on her phone.

When she finished writing a paper for a course and opened her phone to check the time, she found that He Xilou had called her half an hour ago.

It’s still not polite not to reply to messages.

Meng Shiyi asked a question, her tone somewhat flat: [What's up?]

The other party initiated a call again, but Meng Shiyi hung up directly.

【HXL: Why don’t you answer the phone? 】

Meng Shiyi: [I'm in the school library, so it's not convenient. If you have anything to say next time, just text me directly.]

HXL: The bracelet is fixed. When are you free?

Meng Shiyi was stunned for a moment, remembering the cool and elegant bluish-white glass bracelet.

But just two seconds later, the light in her eyes dimmed again.

He Xilou might be able to chat flirtatiously with other girls even though he has a girlfriend.

But she couldn't do it.

She couldn't have an intimate chat with a man who was in a relationship, even if he was someone she had liked for many years.

Meng Shiyi calmly replied: [No need to give it to me specifically. I don’t really like wearing bracelets.]

【I want to study, no more chatting】

After a long time, He Xilou finally said a word: [OK]

Meng Shiyi glanced at the message, put her phone on the table with an expressionless face, and lowered her head to continue reading.

At 9:30 in the evening, many students left the library one after another.

Meng Shiyi closed the book, quietly packed up her things, and prepared to leave.

Song Wenzhou also stood up and said softly, "I'm done too. Shall we go back together? Professor Li has assigned me a PPT for the group project, and I wanted to talk to you in person."

The library is a bit far from the men's and women's dormitories, and there is a main road that must be passed through.

Meng Shiyi actually wanted to be alone for a while, but when she thought of the group assignments in the course, she nodded in agreement.

The two left the library together.

It was late in the evening, the moon was as silver, the leaves of the sycamore trees swayed and rustled in the wind, and everything was peaceful and beautiful.

Walk down the long steps in front of the library.

A familiar figure unexpectedly appeared in Meng Shiyi's eyes.

He Xilou was half leaning against the mottled brick wall next to him, with the top two buttons of his shirt unbuttoned, revealing his cold white skin, his collarbone sexy and wild, and his whole body exuding a sharp yet lazy energy.

I don't know how long I waited here.

Black shadows fell on his outline, half light, half dark, making him look even more mysterious and dangerous.

After a moment, He Xilou opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on Meng Shiyi, then drifted to Song Wenzhou who was walking beside her.

The scorching gaze quietly turned a little cold.

Meng Shiyi hadn't yet calmed down and didn't know how to face him, so she deliberately turned her head away to avoid He Xilou's gaze.

She wasn't so narcissistic as to think that the other party was looking for her specifically.

Walking side by side with Song Wenzhou.

Unexpectedly, the next second, He Xilou walked straight towards her step by step, and his tall shadow covered her.

Meng Shiyi gritted her teeth and moved to the right.

He Xilou also took a step to her right, blocking her way firmly, his eyes dark and deep.

The three of them stopped at the same time.

He Xilou raised his eyelids and glanced at Song Wenzhou inadvertently, with strong and complex emotions in his eyes.

Song Wenzhou, standing next to Meng Shiyi, suddenly noticed something was wrong and spoke in a gentle voice:

"Meng Shiyi, don't you want to go back together?"

But the next second, He Xilou leaned slightly towards Meng Shiyi, his voice low and ambiguous, emphasizing each word:

"Sister Shiyi, I'm waiting for you."

The surrounding air suddenly solidified, and even the air pressure became somewhat low.

It was as if some hidden and obscure emotions were spreading and diffusing around the three people.

Song Wenzhou inadvertently saw the possessiveness and vigilance in He Xilou's eyes.

As a man, Song Wenzhou suddenly understood.

Meng Shiyi stood there without saying a word, wondering whether she should just talk things out with He Xilou.

Make it clear and don't look for her casually anymore.

He Xilou lowered his eyes and glanced at Song Wenzhou nonchalantly, a smile on his lips. "My dear classmate, I have something to say to her. Can you please make room for me?"

There was a stalemate for a moment.

Song Wenzhou couldn't stand the strong sense of oppression and said gently, "Meng Shiyi, I'll go wait for you up front."

Meng Shiyi nodded, "Okay."

After Song Wenzhou was away from the two of them.

He Xilou took another step closer, staring at her with his deep eyes, trying to find any flaws, and asked with a half smile:

"You're walking with him again, are you really on a date?"
