I can't help but think about him
Chen Xing lay on the table. Because of Gao Yamei's words, she had no mood to study. Maybe she was too nervous these days and couldn't study anymore.
Chen Xing held a pencil in his hand and sketched casually on the draft paper, trying to clear his mind, but Wen Yu appeared and he unknowingly wrote Wen Yu's name on the paper.
Chen Xing realized that he was being a little infatuated, so he quickly took out an eraser to erase it. However, when he held the eraser in his hand and looked at the two words "Wen Yu", he was reluctant to let it disappear.
Chen Xing thought that it had been a long time since she contacted Wen Yu. He said last time that he would find time to help her solve the problem, but since that day, he hasn't contacted her.
Chen Xing found his cell phone, opened Wen Yu's chat box, looked at the message from many days ago, scrolled up and down for a long time, but no new messages came.
Wen Yu doesn’t post on WeChat Moments often, and we don’t contact each other often, so I really have no idea what he is doing or what happened.
After much hesitation, Chen Xing finally took the initiative to send a message to Wen Yu. She felt that she wanted to see him.
Chen Xing: [Wen Yu, are you there? ]
Wen Yu has been staying at home these days and has not gone out. Wen Songnian got him medicine from the hospital to delay his illness.
He rarely got sick and hardly ever took medicine in the past, but now he has to take medicine every day. He can finally understand some of Chen Xing's pain, but it seems that Chen Xing's Chinese medicine is more bitter.
When Wen Yu saw Chen Xing's message, he had just come out of the kitchen. Wen Songnian came back late, so they had dinner a little late.
Wen Yu: [I just finished dinner.]
When Wen Yu saw Chen Xing's message, his hands were not as decisive as before when typing. It was because of Shen Xuyang's words that he began to fear that Chen Xing would know his despair after he got sick, and he no longer dared to express it easily.
Chen Xing: [Wen Yu, today is the Lantern Festival. Have you eaten Yuanxiao?]
When Wen Yu saw Chen Xing's ordinary greeting, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
Wen Yu: [I had the black sesame and red bean paste ones, how about you?]
When Chen Xing saw this message, his fingertips paused for a moment before pressing the keyboard.
Chen Xing: [I'm back home. School starts the day after tomorrow. My parents and sister returned from their hometown today, so...]
Chen Xing was typing halfway when he lost track of what to say next and ended up sending the message accidentally.
Wen Yu quickly recovered and said, "So you didn't get to eat? Then do you want to eat?"
Chen Xing originally just wanted to have a casual chat with Wen Yu, but ended up feeling inexplicably sad.
Chen Xing: [I want the ones with black sesame filling and red bean paste filling.]
After Chen Xing sent this message, she imagined Wen Yu’s expression when he saw it. What would he think?
Will he realize that the other meaning of her words is that she wants to see him?
Chen Xing waited for five minutes, but Wen Yu didn't reply. This was the first time he stopped replying in the middle of a conversation.
Chen Xing watched the screen light go out and put the phone down with a sense of loss. She wondered: Was he scared by her? Or was she just too direct?
Chen Xing's mind was in a mess. Ever since she realized that she felt differently about Wen Yu, she became less and less able to control herself. She couldn't stop thinking about him when she was studying, couldn't stop thinking about him when she was upset, and couldn't stop thinking about him.
"Oh! He probably won't reply to me."
About three minutes later, Chen Xing's cell phone rang.
Chen Xing suddenly climbed up from the table, expecting it to be a message from Wen Yu, and it turned out to be from him.
Wen Yu: [Wait for me for an hour.]
It was just a short sentence, without explaining the reason, just asking her to wait for him.
Chen Xing didn't know what Wen Yu meant, but he had already noted the time and was waiting for him.
Chen Xing usually could finish two big math problems during this hour, but now it seemed so long. The waiting was filled with anticipation and excitement, and he could no longer concentrate on doing anything else.
Chen Xing counted the time bit by bit until there were twelve minutes and thirty-seven seconds left, and then Wen Yu called her.
Chen Xing answered immediately, "Hello! Wen Yu."
Chen Xing heard Wen Yu's panting breathing and the noisy ambient sounds.
Wen Yu: [Chen Xing, I'm downstairs at your house. Can I see you? ]
When Chen Xing heard Wen Yu's words, she was surprised and happy, but her joy outweighed her surprise.
Chen Xing: [I'll be downstairs soon. Wait for me. It'll be quick!]
After Chen Xing finished speaking, he hung up the phone, rushed out of the room, and ran to the entrance to change his shoes.
Gao Yamei asked, "Chen Xing, where are you going to change your shoes?"
Chen Xing said, "Mom, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
Chen Xing opened the door and left without waiting for Gao Yamei to say anything.
Gao Yamei chased after him and shouted, "Chen Xing! Don't run!"
Chen Xing heard it and his jog turned into a brisk walk. Gao Yamei shook her head and muttered to herself, "I don't know what's so urgent about this kid? He even forgot that he shouldn't run so fast. It really makes me worry."
Chen Xing quickly took the elevator downstairs and saw Wen Yu downstairs.
Chen Xing's face was filled with joy, and he couldn't hide his happiness. He didn't know when it started, but every time he wanted to see him, he would feel extremely satisfied when he saw him appear.
Wen Yu noticed Chen Xing's rapid breathing and asked worriedly, "Did you run down here?"
Chen Xing smiled and shook his head, jokingly saying, "No, I flew down."
Wen Yu frowned, "Hmm?"
Chen Xing looked at Wen Yu, who looked adorable even with his frown, and said, "He walked down quickly."
Wen Yu felt relieved when he heard this. "When I came here, I saw a park nearby. Can we go there and sit down and talk?"
Chen Xing nodded and followed Wen Yu to the park.
There are quite a lot of people in the community park at night. Most of them come out to walk their dogs, take a walk, or exercise after dinner.
Wen Yu and Chen Xing sat down in the small pavilion, where there happened to be a stone table.
Wen Yu took out an insulated box from his messenger bag.
Chen Xing asked, "Why did you bring a thermos? Didn't you have enough to eat last night?"
Wen Yu opened the thermal box, which was still steaming, and pushed it in front of Chen Xing.
Wen Yu said, "I brought this for you. Don't you want to eat Yuanxiao?"
Chen Xing looked down at the Yuanxiao in front of him, which had just been cooked. He actually took her words seriously.
Wen Yu looked at Chen Xing in a daze and said, "Why don't you eat? Or the black sesame or red bean paste filling you wanted."
Chen Xing looked up and smiled at Wen Yu's innocent face, then picked up the spoon and took a bite.
Wen Yu looked at Chen Xing's lowered head and he was also laughing.
Chen Xing was already quite full. He took a bite of the sesame-filled Yuanxiao and couldn't help but praise it, "Where did you buy this Yuanxiao? It's so delicious, not greasy at all, and has a rich black sesame aroma."
Every year during the Lantern Festival, Chen Xing's family buys ready-made Yuanxiao (Chinese dumplings) from the supermarket and cooks them. However, she can't finish more than a few and doesn't want to eat them anymore because they are either too sweet or the skin is too thick and not tasty at all.
Wen Yu said: "My dad and I made it ourselves."
When Chen Xing heard that it was Wen Yu who made it, he was not surprised at all, as he already knew how good a cook he was.
Chen Xing said, "Is there anything you can't do? It seems like you're great at everything you do."
When Wen Yu heard Chen Xing's words, he suddenly lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes blocked the sadness in his eyes.
Wen Yu really wanted to say that he was not powerful at all, and was even starting to become cowardly.
Wen Yu changed the subject and said, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, is your hand healed?"
When Chen Xing heard this, she was stunned for a moment before she realized that Wen Yu was asking about the injury on the palm of her right hand.
Chen Xing said, "It's been more than ten days now, and it's healed long ago. Look, I can use my hands to exert any force without any problem."
Wen Yu looked at Chen Xing's palm stretched out in front of him, and suddenly grabbed her opening and closing hand and held it in his own palm.
Wen Yu asked, "It still has a scar. Will it affect your ability to hold a paintbrush?"
Chen Xing said, "It's normal to have scars. Why have you become so sentimental after not seeing you for a few days?"
Chen Xing was just saying it casually. She still felt that Wen Yu was a little different from before, but she couldn't tell what was different. Maybe it was her illusion.
Wen Yu asked, "Really? Why can't I feel it?"
Wen Yu thought he had tried very hard to hide his feelings in front of Chen Xing, and he also thought about keeping some distance from her, but he found that he simply couldn't do it. He couldn't help but care about her, nor could he turn a blind eye to what she said.
It seemed that being nice to her and seeing her smile had become a habit he couldn't break.
When Wen Yu received a message from Chen Xing, he could always feel from her words that she was troubled. He should have slowly withdrawn from her life, but Wen Yu could not ignore it for even a minute and finally came.
When he saw Chen Xing's smiling face as she walked downstairs towards him, and Chen Xing's joy when eating Yuanxiao, Wen Yu wanted to be a little more selfish and greedy, and wanted to spend more time with her while he was still normal.
Wen Yu smiled softly, then said in a gentle tone: "Chen Xing, do you have any other wishes? Or what wish do you want to realize the most at the moment?"
Chen Xing didn't know why Wen Yu suddenly asked her what her wish was, but she did have some worries.
Chen Xing said, "A wish? I want to be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts at Jinghua University. Does that count?"
Wen Yu said, "Of course it counts. The goal can also be a wish you want to achieve. As long as it is realistic, it counts."
Chen Xing put down the spoon in his hand, looked at Wen Yu, and said frankly: "Then I have a very troubling problem now, can you help me solve it?"
Wen Yu looked at Chen Xing's innocent appearance. The clarity in her eyes made him unable to help but look at her a few more times. How nice it would be if she only had him in her eyes.
Wen Yu asked, "What's the trouble?"
Chen Xing began to bring up the past with Wen Yu without any hesitation, saying, "Wen Yu, have you forgotten what you promised me again?"
"Last time you broke your promise, but then you said you'd find time to help me with some difficult questions. School's almost starting, and you haven't contacted me. Do you know how frustrating I've been these past few days with math problems?"
It was rare for Chen Xing to look so resentful in front of Wen Yu. When Chen Xing was teaching someone a lesson, Wen Yu didn't get angry at all. Instead, he was made to smile by her cuteness.
"why are you laughing?"
Wen Yu said: "Nothing, I just thought you were cute when you were angry just now."
