17 Chapter 17: Hiding the Secret Love in My Heart
◎It really makes people feel cold◎
"Hey, what are you looking at?"
Xie Lili waved in front of Wu Yahua.
Until the two passed each other, one walking into the school and the other walking out of the school, Xie Yun didn't even glance at Wu Yahua. Even after Xie Yun passed by, Wu Yahua was still looking back at Xie Yun's back.
Wu Yahua turned her head and said, "A handsome guy passed by. It would be a shame not to see him."
If it was before the summer vacation, Wu Yahua would never say such words directly, nor would she look directly at Xie Yun. Now she doesn't care. She has shattered the filter she had for Xie Yun and no longer feels that Xie Yun is out of reach.
She was no longer fascinated by Xie Yun, and no longer looked up to him, so she no longer cared about him.
"Who are you calling the handsome guy?" Xie Lili turned around and looked, slightly surprised. "Don't tell me you were looking at Xie Yun?"
Wu Yahua frankly admitted: "I was just looking at him."
In the past, Wu Yahua had never shown her affection for Xie Yun in front of Xie Lili, and she was also very patient and did not mention Xie Yun in front of Xie Lili.
She kept her secret love in her heart.
only……
"But how do you know his name is Xie Yun?" Wu Yahua suddenly reacted.
Xie Lili: "I..."
Wu Yahua understood immediately, "I know, you like him too."
When people told her that she liked Xie Yun, Xie Lili thought it was an insult to her personality and a violation of human ethics.
Xie Lili stopped and let go of Wu Yahua's arm, feeling angry and amused.
"He's my aunt's son, we're relatives, and I like him? Ha, I've heard the funniest thing before the year is even over."
What!
Wu Yahua thought she could calmly accept any bizarre event, but when she heard about the relationship between Xie Lili and Xie Yun, she was shocked again.
Ever since Wu Yahua woke up, countless shocks have been buried in her life, waiting for her to step on them one by one and directly hit her worldview.
"Why didn't you tell me? I didn't even know you and he were..."
Xie Lili: "There's nothing much to say. He and I have an average relationship. We don't interact much at family gatherings. When we meet at school, we treat each other like strangers."
Average relationship = bad relationship.
Their relationship is not good? Wu Ya spent money to explain.
"He's a strange guy," Xie Lili commented on Xie Yun. "His parents divorced when he was about a year old. His original name was Tian Anqi, but after the divorce he lived with his mother, my aunt, and changed his surname to Xie and given name to Yun."
Wu Yahua recalled that Xie Yun received two calls from his parents that night. One was from his mother, asking him to go home to help his younger sister who was in junior high school with her homework. The other was about his father, asking him to go home to take care of his younger brother.
At that time, Wu Yahua was confused as to why his father called him Tian Anqi. He thought he had heard the name wrong. It turned out that his real name was Tian Anqi.
When Wu Yahua heard the conversation, she envied his parents' good relationship and that they gave him a younger sister and a younger brother. Now, when she heard Xie Lili say this, she realized that his parents had divorced and remarried and had children.
Before, Wu Yahua could not understand the bitterness of a divorced family, but now, she can understand it to some extent.
After just one summer vacation, her memory became distorted. Her parents, who were in love, had divorced ten years ago, and her grandmother, who had passed away, was alive and well.
Half sad and half happy, cannot seek perfection.
"Besides, Xie Yun's looks are just like that." Xie Lili continued to comment on Xie Yun, "He looks like my aunt. When my aunt was young, she was full of charm and charmed hundreds of men. He has a little bit of my aunt's genes and looks decent, but after looking at him for a long time, he's just like that."
When Xie Lili said this, her face was filled with disdain and disgust.
That is to say, Xie Lili grew up with him and was tired of seeing his face. It had lost its novelty, so she thought he looked just like that.
Wu Yahua had been watching him for three years and didn't think he was unhandsome at all.
With that appearance and figure, if he doesn't become a school idol and go to a business KTV to cling to rich women, he can enjoy wealth that ordinary people can hardly reach in his life.
Of course, looking at Xie Yun's appearance, he is a man who is not short of money. He will not sacrifice his looks for money. But on the other hand, people with ordinary looks can only make money with their skills and abilities, while he can make a living with his looks.
On the first day of school, Wu Yahua ate the hot pot she had been longing for for a long time, but the taste was far inferior to the leftover hot pot she remembered having at Xiao Hei's house.
After Wu Yahua returned to the dormitory, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
She turned over and looked at Chen Xi's empty bed.
None of the classmates in the class had any impression of Shen Xi. In their memory, there was no such person as Shen Xi, which really made people feel cold.
It was past one in the morning. Xie Lili was lying on her bed, concentrating on reading a novel. Just when she was getting into the middle of it, a message popped up on her phone screen requesting to add her as a WeChat friend.
She didn't read the message about adding WeChat friends, but continued reading the novel.
After reading until after two in the morning, Xie Lili finally felt sleepy. She yawned twice, exited the novel text interface, and went to WeChat to check her Moments as usual before going to bed.
There was an extra '1' reminder in the contact column, and she remembered that someone had just applied to add her as a friend. She was reading a novel at the time and automatically ignored the message to add a friend.
She clicked on it and saw that the other party's nickname was Shijianhai, his WeChat avatar was a cow cat, he was male, and the message column for requesting to add a friend had the words "Xie Yun" written on it.
Xie Lili was no longer sleepy immediately.
Is this the "blessing" of staying up late to read novels? How long has it been since I started hallucinating?
Xie Lili rubbed her dry eyes and confirmed on the phone screen that it was indeed a friend adding message from Xie Yun.
What's wrong with him? Why is he crazy? He chose the early morning to add people on WeChat.
Maybe something urgent?
Xie Lili gave him a thumbs up.
However, when encountering an urgent matter, he would just call directly without going through the trouble of adding WeChat friends.
【What's up】
Xie Lili sent a message.
After waiting for five minutes without receiving a reply, Xie Lili put down her phone and went to sleep.
The next morning before the second class, Xie Lili was sitting in the classroom when she received Xie Yun's reply.
[Is the girl you're often with called Wu Yahua? ]
Xie Lili's face moved away from the phone screen. She was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close for a moment.
She looked at Wu Yahua who was sitting next to her playing with her cell phone.
At this time, Wu Yahua was searching the Internet for terms such as "people turning into cats". Noticing the gaze from the side, Wu Yahua felt guilty and worried that if people knew that she was searching for these things, she would be regarded as a lunatic.
She pretended to be calm and turned off her phone. She turned to meet Xie Lili's gaze and smiled, "Lili, what's wrong?"
Xie Lili said with a stiff face and expressionless face: "Xie Yun might be interested in you."
"What?"
Once again, Wu Yahua suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.
Xie Lili pointed her phone screen at Wu Yahua. The message on it stopped at 2 a.m. today. Xie Lili accepted Xie Yun's friend request. The first message Xie Yun sent a minute ago was to ask about Wu Yahua.
"He's never taken the initiative to ask out girls. This is the first time. He doesn't have a girlfriend or watch porn. I've suspected he's gay countless times."
Wu Yahua was stunned, her eyes fixed on the WeChat message Xie Yun sent to Xie Lili.
He added Xie Lili's WeChat just to ask about her? That unreal feeling surged into Wu Yahua's heart again.
It's really weird.
Xie Lili: "Congratulations, you are going to be a gay wife."
What a mess.
What is Xie Lili saying in a burst of noise?
Wu Yahua was still in a daze.
The bell for class rang, and Wu Yahua's body shuddered, and only then did she regain the ability to speak.
"Why is he asking about me?"
"I think you look good to me and you're good-looking. I want you to be the middleman and matchmaker." Xie Lili said to Wu Yahua while replying to Xie Yun.
Wu Yahua: "Don't be ridiculous. How could he possibly be interested in me? I know my worth very well."
In a blink of an eye, Wu Yahua saw Xie Lili typing a reply to Xie Yun. She couldn't help but feel curious, so she leaned towards Xie Lili and tilted her head to see what Xie Yun would reply.
"Don't be so insecure. The fact that that weirdo Xie Yun likes you means you're quite pretty. Just wait to become my sister-in-law."
Xie Lili replied to Xie Yun on WeChat: Yes, do you want to meet me? See you at 8pm at 'Sisters BBQ' in the school snack street.
Without obtaining the consent of both parties, the middleman Xie Lili set the meeting time and place for them.
Wu Yahua said tremblingly that this was not a good idea, but Xie Yun on the opposite side had already decisively refused.
【No time at night】
Seeing that Xie Yun refused so quickly, Wu Yahua suddenly felt a sense of loss.
"See, I told you he's a weirdo." Xie Lili pointed at the message Xie Yun replied to and when she looked up she saw the disappointment that was hard to conceal on Wu Yahua's face.
Xie Lili was shocked: "No way, are you really... attracted to that guy Xie Yun?"
"No." Wu Yahua denied, "I don't even know him. We've never had any contact, so how can I be attracted to him? It's impossible that I did something to him just because he's handsome. There are so many handsome men in the world, so I can fall in love with every one I meet."
Xie Lili was silent for ten seconds, then looked at Wu Yahua and said, "He's a weirdo with an unclear sexual orientation. If you marry him, you'll probably end up as a gay man."
Talking about marriage and becoming a lesbian wife when there is nothing even remotely related to the relationship is thinking too far ahead.
Wu Yahua opened the book and ignored Xie Lili, ready to concentrate on listening to the teacher's lecture at the podium, but her thoughts always drifted to other things.
For example, the cat named Goudan.
At the same time, Xie Yun stood on the balcony of his dormitory and dialed a phone number.
Soon, the other party took over.
"Hello, I'm Xie Yun. Do you remember me?"
The other person was lying on the sofa, with his feet on the other end, rocking gently, and asked, "Who?"
"My name is Xie Yun. Don't you remember me? You found my cat at Shida University. I'd like you to take care of it for me temporarily. I'll come back to pick it up after I finish competing in the capital."
Xie Yun didn't finish his words, only said the first half.
The second half is about a man named Lin Yaonan. On the second day after he brought Goudan home, the cat bit through the screen window and ran away. The cat's whereabouts are still unknown and its life or death is uncertain.
Lin Yaonan wondered when he had ever picked up a cat. He took the phone away from his ear and looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen.
"You must have called the wrong number. I never picked up your cat."
Xie Yun knew this would be the answer, so he said sorry for disturbing him and hung up the phone.
Although he felt very puzzled, Lin Yaonan didn't think much about it after hanging up the phone. When he smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen, he got up and went to the kitchen.
A bird landed outside the windowsill of Lin Yaonan's house, looking around.
The screen window effectively blocked the bird's entry. The screen window was old and intact, without a single gap or hole.
