The smile on Han Xu's face faded again.
Lin Zhiyi walked back again, and he followed after him hesitantly, feeling uneasy, his hands hanging by his sides twisted in a tangled mess.
"I'm sorry..." He didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat his apology, this time explaining it in more depth. "Those were my friends from China. They came here on my mom's plane. My mom is in my apartment right now. I really didn't lie to you."
He chattered a lot, and when he looked up, he found that Lin Zhiyi had stopped and was looking at him.
That look seemed to see through him.
Han Xu felt inexplicably flustered and lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake. Finally, he said softly, "I'm sorry, I don't know where I went wrong. Tell me, and I will definitely change."
Lin Zhiyi looked at him, suddenly closed his eyes and sighed.
Compromise in general.
He looked into the other person's eyes and asked softly, "You said you couldn't play the piano. Were you lying to me?"
Han Xu suddenly stopped.
"It's actually pretty easy to tell if you're a beginner." Lin Zhiyi took Han Xu's hand and gently pinched his knuckles. "Even though you're deliberately making the wrong gestures, you're subconsciously playing the correct ones. You must have learned them for a long time when you were little, right?"
"When did you find out?"
"First period."
She discovered it so early? She actually endured it and taught him for so long...
The unexpected answer made Han Xu so ashamed that he wished he could crawl into the ground.
"……sorry."
"Why did you lie to me?" Lin Zhiyi asked calmly, "Isn't it fun to watch me correct your deliberately wrong gestures?"
There was no blame in his tone, but it made Han Xu feel uneasy.
"No!" Han Xu hastily denied, his eyes full of nervousness. After meeting the other person's gaze, he lowered his head, "I just..."
only……
He gritted his teeth, as if struggling with whether to speak his true thoughts.
Lin Zhiyi asked: "Just what?"
Han Xu looked over, his eyes flashing with a light that Lin Zhiyi could not understand.
He hesitated to speak, and after a long stalemate, he lowered his head in silence and whispered, "I'm sorry, I just want to spend more time with you."
Lin Zhiyi frowned slightly, somewhat confused, but his heart beat faster unconsciously.
The hand that was holding the other person's knuckles wanted to withdraw, but was held tightly by the boy's warm palm.
Han Xu spread out his palm and placed it against his heart.
Through the thin cotton sweatshirt, Lin Zhiyi could feel the other person's frantic heartbeat.
Something is about to come out.
"Maybe you didn't feel it, or maybe you noticed it but didn't want to take it seriously."
Han Xu looked directly into Lin Zhiyi's eyes and said seriously, word by word:
"I like you, Lin Zhiyi."
"It's not the kind of love that comes from friends, it's the kind that comes from wanting to fall in love with you."
"I liked you the first time I saw you."
"That's the only reason I'm close to you."
