Chapter 13 Only You Can't
The clean white floor of the corridor was covered with long, thin black shadows, and the path, which was neither wide nor narrow, was filled with people's laughter and joyful chatter.
"Look, look, I met her again."
"I thought the zombies in the movie came out." This caused countless laughs.
"I don't know how it happened, but the color of these fingernails is blue and green, like they are moldy."
Pei Xiangwan was asking Qiao Yanxin about finding the cat when she was bumped on the shoulder. She gasped in pain, rubbed her shoulder, and looked at the person sitting on the ground.
"Are you okay, classmate?"
Qiao Yanxin saw the pair of fingernails that were neither blue nor green, slapped Pei Xiangwan's hand away, and made faces wildly.
Successfully earned Pei Xiangwan's praise, "Deep Well Ice."
The person who was knocked to the ground supported himself with his hands and stood up. He brushed off the dust on his pants, pulled down his sleeves to cover his hands, and lowered his head.
"It's okay." The voice sounded like an ant talking.
Pei Xiangwan retracted the words he wanted to say, and the figure quickly disappeared.
"I see that you've been studying in class all day long lately. You've become stupid. You're like a zombie! A zombie!" Qiao Yanxin shouted excitedly.
"You still want to pull her, you are crazy, aren't you afraid of being infected?"
Pei Xiangwan held his forehead with his hand. How could there be such a fool in the world? "Tell me how it was transmitted, and who else did she infect?"
"I don't know. No one dares to get close to her hand."
Pei Xiangwan patted Qiao Yanxin's head and said, "Don't believe everything you hear. What's her name?"
Qiao Yanxin covered her head and observed carefully, fearing she would be beaten again. "My name is Ma Wanqing, a fashion designer."
Pei Xiangwan felt like he had heard this name somewhere before, but for a moment he couldn't remember where.
…………
The wind was mixed with the fragrance after the rain, and birds were humming songs on the branches.
Chen Zui took a sip of yogurt and said, "This is what happened. I don't know why it was such a coincidence, but luckily there was someone there, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
After saying this, Chen Zui seemed to have thought of something and suddenly became very excited. "That's right, Shi Yuan, that guy... Bah! When did Pei Xiangwan become so good at fighting?"
She slapped her thigh and laughed, "Do you remember before, she and that Qiao Yanxin went to the bar and got into an argument and a fight with someone. As a result, both of them were beaten like they were stung by bees, with one side of their faces getting bigger and the other side getting smaller." She gestured as she spoke.
How could Jiang Shiyuan not remember? It seemed like everyone around him was talking about Pei Xiangwan's abnormality.
She was the only one who felt that Pei Xiangwan was Pei Xiangwan. This seemed inexplicable, and even she herself didn't know why.
"As long as she's okay." Jiang Shiyuan said lightly, but the smile on his face was warm.
Chen Zui really wanted to open Jiang Shiyuan's head to see what kind of love brain he had. There was no hope for someone with such a love brain.
"What kind of person is she? Don't you understand? Pei Xiangwan has so many masks, all targeting you..."
Jiang Shiyuan pursed her lips and retorted, "She is very nice to me now, which she never was before. Believe me, Chen Zui, Pei Xiangwan is not a bad person." Their fingers twisted together unconsciously.
Chen Zui put the empty yogurt cup on the bench, wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue, and said seriously, "Don't forget that person will be back soon."
"She's back. Will Pei Xiangwan still be good to you?" The words were like thorns piercing her ears. The tinnitus made it impossible for her to hear the last words Chen said.
Escaping is the most useless thing. Once it happens, there will be a second time, a third time... and one day she will have to face it. At that time, all the problems will pile up like a bomb and be thrown at her. The pain will be ten thousand times greater than it is now, but she is addicted to the candy house, enjoying the sweetness and unwilling to wake up.
Jiang Shiyuan lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes stroked her lower eyelid as if to soothe her bad mood.
On the bare earth beneath her feet an ant, carrying bread crumbs on its back, walked past her shoe.
The setting sun draws back the curtain of night.
"If you can't find it, forget it. This is my own business. I shouldn't bother you."
This was the only time Jiang Shiyuan spoke during the whole journey. It was something she had been struggling with all along the way. Pei Xiangwan had said before that she hated troublesome people, and now she was a kind of trouble.
Don't want to be hated...
Her heart gradually regained its red color, and she began to hope that Pei Xiangwan would look at her more, praying that his partiality and tenderness, which could disappear at any time, could last for a few more days, even for a second.
Pei Xiangwan reflected on what she had done to make Jiang Shiyuan unhappy. She tried desperately to think about it, but she couldn't think of anything! The boat was fine this morning, how could it capsize so suddenly?
"How could that be? Your business is my business." Pei Xiangwan's tone was as firm as if she was swearing an oath. Perhaps Jiang Jiang was worried that she would be tired from helping her find the cat, so she did that!
It must be! Jiang Jiang is really my good son, a sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket!
Jiang Shiyuan's amber pupils were as clear and bright as spring water, and the bottom of the spring was filled with endless sorrow, tugging and pulling at Pei Xiangwan's heart.
She seemed to resonate with Jiang Shiyuan at this moment, sharing the same heart and being able to feel each other's grief.
The silence was short-lived, but it was so torturous at this moment. Jiang Shiyuan glanced at her suddenly, opened the car door and walked out. This was her answer.
Pei Xiangwan followed closely behind, and she felt the same sadness as Jiang Shiyuan.
The dark blue sky made the buildings dim and dull. The flames had burned to the last cloud, and everything was about to end.
Pei Xiangwan held Jiang Shiyuan's wrist, which was as slender as a bamboo, and loosened his grip for fear of hurting Jiang Shiyuan. He pulled Jiang Shiyuan to turn around. Jiang Shiyuan's eyes flashed with surprise, and before he could react, he felt the warmth on his waist.
Jiang Shiyuan seemed to be lifted up. She had no choice but to stand on tiptoe and look up at the faded sky. It was so beautiful without any impurities.
Jiang Shiyuan let the other person's hair rub against her neck. The itchiness was so unbearable that she clenched her fists, but she did not push away the person leaning on her.
"No matter what happens, you can tell me. Don't hold it in. It will make you sick."
Pei Xiangwan looked up at Jiang Shiyuan's eyes. Those eyes were surprisingly beautiful and magical. They changed color like a chameleon and turned blue. Driven by curiosity, she took out a finger.
But just as he moved forward a little, he was stopped by Jiang Shiyuan's words.
"Tell you? And then tell others, tell your best friend and the one you favor the most to laugh at me."
His voice was as sweet and sour as chewed rainbow candy, but his expression was that of a little fox ready for battle, with his snow-like ears erect and his pointed little teeth bared, ready to bite the most evil villain.
"I don't like this, Pei Xiangwan. Everyone in this world can make fun of me, but I don't care. I'm strong enough to prove myself with action, and those rumors will disappear. They don't mean anything at all." She finally pushed him away.
Amber, immersed in the blue sea, looked at Pei Xiangwan with stubbornness. "Only you can't do it, Pei Xiangwan... Even you join them in making fun of me. How can I fight back? Do you think I'm like a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off? You slap me in the face and give me candy."
Jiang Shiyuan took a deep breath and spoke in a trembling voice, "How long will this candy last this time? But it is indeed long this time. You have set a new record. You can talk to that person endlessly."
Pei Xiangwan felt difficulty breathing as if she was sealed in a bottle, as if she was going to die in the next second.
She doesn't know who that person is...
To her, Jiang Shiyuan has never been a weak, crying paper man. His stubborn and unyielding appearance now overturned everything said in the book.
She has her own soul and thoughts. She is a living person with flesh and blood.
Pei Xiangwan felt a sharp pain in the corner of his heart. He pursed his lips and wanted to say something but was afraid that it was not the right time to say it and she would not believe it. So in the end, he said this.
"You are crying, Jiang Jiang, don't cry." I would feel very sad.
