Why are your ears red?

"I'm sorry, this is the peak season for pets to get sick. I was so busy that I didn't notice it was missing. I'm really sorry, we will definitely keep a close eye on it from now on."

"It's okay. It followed me, which means it's almost well. It's in great spirits today, so it should be well soon. Please take care of it for two more days. My mom will come to pick it up then."

"Okay, we'll take care of it."

Following Chen Songyan out of the pet hospital, Wen Jing asked him: "What's wrong with Xiaomei?"

"Parvovirus, a common disease in dogs. He's been vomiting for a few days and feeling lethargic. My sister took him to the vet on Friday, but she didn't tell me until Sunday because she was worried it would affect my exams."

Wen Jing fell into silence.

After a while, he said, "It's so lively today, maybe it's recovered."

"Yeah, I think so too. After two more days of observation, he can be discharged from the hospital." Chen Songyan said in a low voice.

He was still not in a good mood, Wen Jing could tell, especially when she saw the youngest sister leaning against the door and yelling at him.

The pet hospital is not far from No. 1 Middle School, only a twenty-minute walk away.

During these twenty minutes, Wen Jing didn't speak, and Chen Songyan didn't say anything either.

They walked all the way in silence.

When they reached the back door, Wen Jing broke the silence and asked Chen Songyan: "Do you want to go back to the dormitory to change clothes?"

Chen Songyan looked down at the puppy prints on his school uniform, some deep and some shallow, and curled his lips slightly, saying "hmm".

"Then you go, I'll stay here for a while." Wen Jing said.

Chen Songyan stared at her for a while. Wen Jing saw his lips move, but he just said "OK" and turned away.

Wen Jing sat on the wooden bench where he had sat before, staring at his back in a daze.

She didn't look away until the figure completely disappeared from her sight. Her eyes unconsciously fell on the tree where she had just avoided, and she fell into a trance again.

Wen Jing seemed to hear her younger sister's cry again. She turned her head and saw the previous scene:

Chen Songyan squatted and gently rubbed the little sister's head. When he raised his head, his eyes were wet and crystal tears slid across his face, which he wiped away with his hand.

Soon, he stood up and chased and played with his youngest sister on the road.

Wen Jing's eyes followed his movements, and she saw him suddenly stop, walk in front of her, and call her name with red eyes.

Wen Jing subconsciously reached out to touch him, but the figure in front of her disappeared like debris.

Seeing her hand raised in the air, Wen Jing suddenly came to her senses and looked around, but where were Chen Songyan and Yaomei?

Her heart began beating uncontrollably again, and Wen Jing felt a panic.

She stood up suddenly, clutching her chest. "This is impossible," she said aloud. "How is it possible?"

The phone call I overheard between Aunt Lin and her friend in sixth grade echoed in my ears:

"What's the point of having children? I married him so I could live without them. Love? What's the point of love? I know he's thinking about his ex-wife, but I don't care. I only care about whether he can give me a good life."

"As long as he can guarantee my good life, I can turn a blind eye even if he secretly goes to see his ex-wife."

When Lin Mei hung up the phone and walked out of the room, Wen Jing had no time to leave and was discovered.

Lin Mei didn't look flustered by being overheard. She smiled, squatted down and asked Wen Jing, "Did you hear what Auntie just said?"

Wen Jing didn't say anything.

Lin Mei smiled again: "It's okay, it's good that you heard it. Auntie will also take this opportunity to say a few more words on behalf of your father."

Wen Jing remembered that she had just taken a shower that day and her body smelled very good.

"Baby, remember, falling in love with a man is the beginning of bad luck. You can love a man's money, a man's power, even a man's body and appearance, but never love him as a person."

"You're young now, and it's easy for boys to deceive you. Auntie reminds you, never fall in love with a boy easily. Of course, if you only care about other things, it's fine. But if you only care about this person and his love, then it's over."

Wen Jing listened to her silently and didn't say a word from beginning to end.

In the end, Lin Mei shrugged and went downstairs, and both of them pretended that nothing had happened.

She naturally didn't know that Wen Jing had already realized these things when she learned the truth about her parents' divorce. It was just that her reminder made Wen Jing even more determined in her inner thoughts.

However, when she was with Chen Songyan just now, she was very clear that she was not thinking about his beautiful red face from crying, nor was she thinking about his well-trained body. She just simply wanted to comfort him, wipe his tears, and hug him.

Not the face, not the figure, but the person?

How is that possible?

It's just these two days. He is really unlucky and pitiful these two days. He deserves sympathy and makes people feel distressed.

It will be fine in a few days.

Wen Jing calmed down and walked towards the teaching building.

When she arrived at the classroom, most of the students were there, but Chen Songyan had not yet arrived.

Wen Jing took out the physics competition questions and wrote them down vigorously, focusing on the big and small details, and immersed herself in them.

She likes physics. The more difficult the questions are, the more fascinated she becomes. She doesn't even notice the bell ringing.

A hand reached out from the side, and Wen Jing looked up and met Chen Songyan's eyes.

She shuddered: "When did you come?"

Seeing that she was frightened, Chen Songyan looked apologetic: "I have been here for several minutes. Class is starting now, and it is math class." He looked at the physics teaching materials on Wen Jing's desk and reminded her.

Wen Jing looked up and saw the math teacher's face.

"I know." She sat up straight, covered her pounding chest, and pounded it angrily.

What are you jumping about?!

During the entire class, she didn't even look at Chen Songyan, and Chen Songyan didn't speak to her.

Wen Jing thought about it and felt that it must be because she felt too much sympathy for Chen Songyan's misfortune during this period that caused her to have such a mess of emotions.

So, after class, she turned around and called Chen Songyan's name.

Chen Songyan looked at her without much expression on his face. Wen Jing frowned and asked, "What do you want to do to make you happy?"

Chen Songyan was stunned, his eyelashes trembling a few times: "I'm not unhappy."

"You're just unhappy." Wen Jing almost glared at him, with an attitude that said if he dared not admit it, he would be dead.

Chen Songyan had no choice but to say: "A little bit."

"Then how can you be happy?" Wen Jing said again.

Chen Songyan stared at her, feeling a little uncomfortable. "It will be fine in a few days. Actually, it's not that bad. I'm not really unhappy."

Wen Jing couldn't figure out what to ask, so she just said, "Let's go bike riding this weekend. I just learned how to ride, and I haven't practiced much yet."

"It's still just the two of us?" Chen Songyan asked tentatively.

"No!" Wen Jing's voice became louder. Chen Die was attracted by her and turned around to ask her what was wrong.

Wen Jing quickly said, "Chen Die is going too!" Thinking that it would be bad if only Chen Songyan was a boy, she added, "Zhou Meng is going too!"

Chen Songyan was stunned: "Okay."

"That's it," Wen Jing said to him, and he nodded.

Ignored, Chen Die slammed the book on her desk and said, "No! Where are you going? What are you doing? Am I not involved?"

"Going cycling this weekend."

"Okay, okay!" Chen Die said immediately, "I've been wanting to go for a long time!"

Wen Jing knew she would definitely agree.

Suddenly, another person's voice interrupted: "Where are you going? Can I go?"

Wen Jing took a look and saw that it was Yuli.

For a moment, neither she nor Chen Die responded. Chen Songyan glanced at them and replied to Youli: "Let's go to Dangui Park to ride bicycles."

"Then I'll go too!"

Chen Die asked her: "Can you ride?"

Yuli waved her hands: "I'm not bragging, but when it comes to cycling, there are few people in my class who can rival me!"

Chen Songyan glanced at her sideways: "Is this true?"

"Then let's compete then?"

"Who's afraid of who?"

Wen Jing snorted in her heart, it turned out that the other person was not really unhappy, he just simply couldn't chat with her.

Let’s compare it to him until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble!

Suddenly, her face changed. What does this have to do with her?

What is she angry about?

It was a good thing that someone made Chen Songyan happy; that was her original intention.

She wasn't angry, not at all.

So Chen Die saw Wen Jing sometimes slamming the book hard, sometimes picking it up gently, and her expression was unpredictable.

"Wen Jing, what's wrong with you?" she asked.

Wen Jing was stunned: "What's wrong? What can I do? I'm fine!"

"Ah, really?"

The class bell rang again, and no matter how suspicious Chen Die was, she had to turn around.

At night, Wen Jing lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She had searched through all the guys with abs in her phone, but there was still no effect, and it was even worse.

Because she couldn't control her brain. She was looking at one man with her eyes, but she was thinking of another face in her mind.

As soon as that face appeared, her heart beat faster and her ears felt hot.

She was originally worried that she would dream about him again tonight, but now, before she even fell asleep, he was already on her mind.

The next day, Wen Jing went to study English with Chi Ya, with dark circles under her eyes. Chi Ya startled her: "What were you doing last night? You looked like you'd overindulged in sex. Were you looking at some guy again?"

One time, Wen Jing was studying with her in the library. During the study, she touched a fish for a while. When she opened the short video page, she saw a man showing off his upper body. Chi Ya saw it and made fun of him from then on.

Wen Jing's eyes were filled with tears after she yawned, but she did not refute Chi Ya's words.

"Sister Wen, please control yourself." Chi Ya said.

Restraint? She wanted to restrain herself more than anyone else.

If she had the guts, she would tell Chen Songyan not to...

Wait, who is that person running towards them?

Wen Jing's sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden and she stood there in a daze.

"Chen Songyan, why are you here?"

When Chi Ya said this, Wen Jing woke up as if from a dream and saw the real Chen Songyan in front of her.

She let out a long breath, almost thinking that she had gone crazy to the point of having hallucinations everywhere.

"I'm going for a morning run. Is this where you study every morning?"

"Yes, this position is great! It's early in the morning, and there are birds playing accompaniment next to us!" said Chi Ya.

Chen Songyan glanced at the bird on the tree next to him, smiled, and suddenly stared at Wen Jing: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Wen Jing raised her eyes and met his slightly concerned expression. Before she could react, she had already looked away.

When she came to her senses, she frowned fiercely and said in a not-so-gentle tone, "No."

Chen Songyan was stunned, left a message saying he would not disturb them studying, and turned and ran away.

Chi Ya watched him leave, and when she turned around, she saw Wen Jing staring at Chen Songyan's back with a look in her eyes - fierce?

"Wen Jing," Chi Ya called her, "Did you have a fight with Chen Songyan?"

Wen Jing was surprised: "No!"

Then the look in his eyes looked like he wanted to eat him, Chi Ya thought.

"Okay, let's continue learning English."

When Wen Jing returned to the classroom, Chen Songyan was already in his seat.

I don’t know where he came back from, but Wen Jing didn’t see him on the asphalt road again.

The first class in the morning was English. As soon as the get out of class was over, a lot of people fell asleep.

Wen Jing was the first to fall.

However, she felt drowsy during class, but couldn't fall asleep after class. After a few minutes, she opened her eyes irritably, and the sight before her made her lose all sleepiness.

Wen Jing always liked to sleep on her side, and she didn't notice anything wrong before. But today she found out that she had been sleeping facing Chen Songyan.

At this moment, Chen Songyan was also facing her, his eyes quietly closed, with a faint black circle around his eyes.

How dare you say that to her? You clearly didn't sleep well last night either.

Wen Jing complained in her heart.

But when he thought about his recent experiences, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.

She unconsciously looked at the sleeping face of the man and found that his eyebrows were slightly furrowed. She didn't know whether he was lying uncomfortably or was feeling uncomfortable.

Suddenly, his thick eyelashes trembled, and a pair of eyes with a confused look opened.

The moment their eyes met, Wen Jing's breathing stagnated and she suddenly raised her head.

"What's wrong?" Chen Songyan raised his head slightly, still looking a little confused.

The heart in her chest was beating rapidly, and Wen Jing felt annoyed as she listened to the hurried beat.

No matter how she felt about Chen Songyan, she would not allow herself to avoid looking at others.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, opened her eyes again, and suddenly turned her head to stare at Chen Songyan.

Chen Songyan blinked a few times, his gaze shifted slightly, and asked her: "What happened?"

Wen Jing didn't answer, but said in a forceful tone, "Look at me."

Chen Songyan subconsciously did as he was told and looked into her eyes.

No one spoke to each other anymore.

Wen Jing stared at the eyes intently, felt her heart, which was not beating fast, and felt her breathing, which was not disordered either. Everything was normal.

After about seven or eight seconds, Chen Songyan looked away.

Wen Jingxin thought, as expected, she is normal. When she looks at the opposite sex, people will want to avoid her.

She noticed Chen Songyan's red ears and asked him without thinking: "Why are your ears red?"

Chen Songyan's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He raised his hand and pinched his ear: "Is there?"

"Yes, it's very red." Wen Jing said.

It was as if she had finally returned to the scene she was familiar with.

Chen Songyan looked at her again and asked, "Then why is your face so red?"

What?
