Chapter 31
Yan Sui's figure quickly disappeared.
Yu Li and the others stood by the roadside, no one spoke anymore, only the occasional bird call could be heard from the school's grove.
Yu Li glanced in the direction Yan Sui had run off to, then turned to look at Yan Shiting.
However, Yan Shiting stood outside the range of the streetlights, his face revealing no emotion.
He could only see Yan Shiting standing motionless, shrouded in darkness.
Yu Li took a few steps forward, leaving the area covered by the streetlights, and came to Yan Shiting's side.
He called out uneasily, "Brother Yan..."
Yan Shiting's body trembled slightly, as if he had just come back to his senses.
He glanced down at Yu Li, remained silent for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "What happened to your arm?"
He had just seen Yu Li rubbing her arm outside the counselor's office.
Yu Li was slightly taken aback, then shook her head: "Nothing."
Beside him, Butler He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself: "Young Master..."
Yan Shiting interrupted him: "Go back."
This was addressed to both Butler He and Yu Li.
Butler He was taken aback: "And you, young master?"
"I'm going back to Wanting."
Wan Ting is the luxury residential complex where his large penthouse is located.
Butler He frowned and sighed, "Alright. Young Master, I'll head back now."
Before leaving, he paused and said, "Young Master, I will give the young master some advice when I get back."
He finished speaking and left quickly.
Only Yan Shiting and Yu Li remained by the roadside.
Yu Li stood in front of Yan Shiting, her lips pressed tightly together.
He could sense that Yan Shiting was feeling down, but he didn't know what else he could do.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and grabbed Yan Shiting's sleeve. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "The dormitory gate is about to close, I can't go back."
Although it's only a little past nine o'clock now, there's still a long time before the dormitory gates close.
But he didn't want to go back to the dormitory, he didn't want... to let Yan Shiting go back to that oppressive house alone.
There was really nothing he could do; the only thing he could do was stay with Yan Shiting.
However, it's unclear whether Yan Shiting needs him to accompany her.
Yu Li was somewhat uneasy.
Yan Shiting's gaze was deep, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
He curled his fingers, but couldn't resist in the end. He gently wrapped his hand around Yu Li's wrist, which was gripping his sleeve, and whispered, "Let's go then."
Yu Li was startled.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly nodded.
Let's go.
Let's go back together.
-
Y University is an hour's drive from that luxury residential area in the city center.
Back in the large apartment, Yan Shiting took an ice pack and applied it to Yu Li's injured left arm.
The injury wasn't serious, but it seemed like I hit a nerve, so my arm felt a little numb.
In addition, there is a small bruise on the lower part of the elbow joint.
After applying a cold compress for a while, Yu Li's fingertips turned red from the cold.
Yan Shiting watched silently, then took the ice pack from his hand and gently placed it on the bruise.
Yu Li was startled, her arm stiffening for a moment.
At least two months ago, he certainly couldn't have imagined that Yan Shiting would personally apply a cold compress to him.
But now, this has actually happened.
Moreover, he did not feel uncomfortable at all.
Yu Li was momentarily dazed, and her arms gradually relaxed.
The ice in the ice pack gradually melted.
Yan Shiting put down the ice pack and said, "Next time before you break up a fight, make sure you protect yourself first."
Yu Li paused for a moment.
It turned out that Yan Shiting knew how he had bumped his arm.
He wiped the water off his arms and said, "I understand."
Yan Shiting threw the ice pack into the trash can, raised his hand to rub his temples, and said, "Go to sleep early."
His tone inadvertently revealed a hint of fatigue.
After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize it himself, and he was stunned for a moment.
Yu Li looked at him, her fingers intertwined.
He wanted to say that he wasn't sleepy yet, but before he could say it, he saw Yan Shiting stand up.
"It's late, get some rest."
After saying that, Yan Shiting turned around and went back to his room first.
Yu Li was taken aback.
For some reason, he seemed to see a hint of escapism in Yan Shiting's back.
After regaining his senses, Yu Li looked at the closed door and had no choice but to go back to his room to wash up and go to sleep.
-
At one o'clock in the morning, Yu Li turned over in bed again.
He can't sleep at all now, his mind keeps replaying what happened tonight.
After a long while, Yu Li slowly sat up.
He hasn't drunk a drop of water since dinner.
Feeling suddenly thirsty and unable to fall asleep, Yu Li got up to get a glass of water.
Upon opening the bedroom door, one is greeted by a dark living room.
Yu Li tiptoed toward the dining table, next to which was the water dispenser.
However, after taking only a few steps, he vaguely glimpsed a figure standing by the French windows.
Neon lights flashed outside the window, but the light that could reach the living room of the large apartment was pitifully little.
Yan Shiting stood by the dark window, silently watching the outside world.
His tall figure was hidden in the darkness, and his expression was not visible.
He would also look at the scenery like this.
What was he thinking about while admiring the scenery?
In a moment of distraction, Yu Li accidentally kicked the dining table, causing a glass on the table to wobble, fall over, roll off the table, and shatter into pieces.
The crisp sound brought Yan Shiting back to his senses. He turned his head and, by the light shining in from the window, saw Yu Li standing there, dumbfounded.
"Don't move."
Yan Shiting strode over to Yu Li and turned on the switch on the wall.
The living room was instantly illuminated by warm yellow lights, but they were not glaring.
Yan Shiting asked in a low voice, "Why aren't the lights on?"
Yu Li looked at Yan Shiting and smelled a familiar pine scent on him, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol.
He paused, then said, "I can see it."
Yan Shiting pursed his lips and said nothing more. He took a step forward, raised his hand, but hesitated for a moment.
In the end, she simply took Yu Li's arm and led him to sit down on the sofa.
"I'll go pack..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Li reached out and grabbed him.
"Let's pack up when it's light." He looked at Yan Shiting earnestly and said, "The night view here is beautiful. Would you like to come with me and take a look?"
He worried that after Yan Shiting went to clean up the broken pieces, he would go straight back to his room as before.
In that case, Yan Shiting continued to process his emotions alone.
She appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, Yu Li's heart was pounding.
He would never have dared to make such a request before.
For some reason, he just knew that Yan Shiting would agree to his request.
Yan Shiting paused in his movements.
This was the first time Yu Li had taken the initiative to hold his hand.
The area that came into contact with my skin seemed to be slightly warm.
Under the warm light, Yu Li's peach blossom eyes seemed to gleam with a gentle light.
Yan Shiting had only drunk a small half-cup of wine, but he felt as if his mind had become a little sluggish.
He remained silent for a long time before finally nodding.
"Um."
