[if line extra] Just a passerby?
Shi Huai raised her watery round eyes and looked at the boy in front of her. Except for the time when she went back to her grandparents' house during the winter and summer vacations, they had rarely seen each other for such a long time as this period.
She blinked her eyes twice and called out softly, "Brother Ji Bai..."
Zhou Jibai glanced at Shi Huai's guilty expression, but couldn't tell his emotions from his voice: "Do you still remember that I exist?"
Shi Huai pursed her dry lips, lowered her head and stopped responding to him.
"You've been hiding from me all this time. Are you having fun?" Zhou Jibai's tone was still cold.
Shi Huai nodded first.
Zhou Jibai only said "Hmm?" in a high-pitched voice, and the little rabbit was so scared that he quickly shook his head: "No, I'm not happy."
For the past half month, Zhou Jibai has been reflecting on how he could have upset this little guy. He could clearly sense Shi Huai's avoidance of him.
Since Shi Huai doesn't want to see him, he won't force her...bullshit.
He had been secretly observing Shi Huai's every move, and her figure was always outside Shi Huai's sight.
He would finish his classes early and arrive at the cafeteria during lunch time for Grade 1. He spotted Shi Huai in the crowd and wanted to go up and say hello, but Shi Huai seemed to be chatting happily with his classmates and didn't bother to interrupt.
He knew every class of Shi Huai's clearly. When she was in physical education class, Zhou Jibai was playing basketball in the nearby basketball court. But Shi Huai never paid attention to this place.
When Mingming was done with school, Shi Huai would always come to his teaching building and wait for him to finish school together. He would take her home, or they would go to the school gate together to eat cake and drink milk tea.
But in the past half month, Shi Huai has been extremely abnormal.
This feeling... is like a sudden breakup.
Zhou Jibai was so angry at this bastard that he almost laughed.
Play with him?
"Hidden from me all this time?"
Zhou Jibai leaned down slightly, his amber pupils very close to her rosy face, as if he wanted to stare through her whole body.
Shi Huai didn't say anything.
Not saying anything means agreeing.
"Why are you hiding from me? Can I eat you?"
Shi Huai sniffed and said in a muffled tone: "Nothing..."
I don’t know where the little guy got such a bad temper from, and he has learned to sulk by himself?
Zhou Jibai sighed softly: "The Zhou family is your home. You don't have to become estranged from me just because Teacher Yu is no longer teaching at the Zhou family."
Every word Zhou Jibai said fell into her ears. She listened carefully, and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly like butterfly wings.
"For so many years, you have just treated me as a passerby?" Zhou Jibai spoke in a lazy and light voice, asking her only one question.
How could it be possible...
Even if feelings are small pieces of sand, they have accumulated into a city over the years.
"Brother Ji Bai, are you going to study abroad in Country M?" Shi Huai changed the subject.
Zhou Jibai will graduate in the summer of this year.
Zhou Jibai pinched her chin, forcing Shi Huai to look into his eyes. "Answer what I just said first, and don't try to avoid the subject."
"……"All right.
"No." Shi Huai's words were soft and gentle, falling into Zhou Jibai's ears, but hitting his heart with a loud and powerful sound.
"If I don't go to Country M, I'll stay in Changjing."
I'll stay with you and not go anywhere.
The conversation between the two ended here, and no one asked any more questions.
This time, the two of them walked out of the school supermarket together.
On the way Zhou Jibai sent her back to the classroom, he suddenly said, "Don't hide from me."
"Um……"
After school in the afternoon, when Shi Huai was hesitating whether to go to Zhou Jibai's teaching building to wait for him to finish class.
As soon as I walked out of the classroom, I met those amber eyes in the corridor at the corner.
Shi Huai smiled from the bottom of his heart and called him, "Brother Ji Bai."
Zhou Jibai raised his eyelids lazily, without saying a word, took a step forward, and skillfully took her schoolbag.
"There's a new cake shop near the school. Do you want to go?"
"go!"
…
After coming to Zhou Jibai's home at the age of five, Shi Huai, who was a little skinny and yellow at the beginning, was raised by Zhou Jibai to be fair and tender.
But she has a physique that can't gain weight, and now she still has thin arms, legs and waist. Zhou Jibai is always amazed and asks her if she has eaten her food into outer space.
