Chapter 34
The lights in the dormitory were not bright. They looked at each other in such an environment. The dim light reflected through the wall onto Xie Ning's face, illuminating Xie Ning's beautiful and cold face.
Xie Ning said, "You are too clingy."
Pei Zhi was stunned.
Xie Ning said again, "Can I go to the bathroom first? I'm really a little anxious."
It can be seen that Xie Ning was really forced into a hurry.
He had never been "forced" to this extent. He wanted to go to the bathroom, but was blocked by the door for a long time and failed to go. Now he had to say such words bluntly. His face was not very thick. At that moment, a layer of powder floated on his snow-white cheeks, and there were traces of moisture at the end of his eyes.
From Pei Zhi's perspective, he could see Xie Ning slightly bringing her knees together, and then rubbing them slowly. The subtle movement was like a bomb thrown into his heart, instantly confusing him.
"Yeah." Pei Zhi immediately let go of her hand, but his movement was too fast, and he stumbled back two steps. He fell to the ground, and then struggled to get up. "If you're in a hurry, you have to go to the bathroom first."
He said something without any context.
Xie Ning was anxious and embarrassed. He closed the door and even locked it, and quickly went to solve his physiological needs.
Pei Zhi outside the door seemed to have lost his soul. He returned to his seat, still looking cold and calm. But his thoughts had already drifted into the bathroom, and his ears were red.
The soundproofing of the dormitory is average, and any noise in the bathroom can be heard clearly outside. Pei Zhi never paid attention to these things before, but he didn't want to pay attention to them.
Paying attention to the gurgling sound of other people going to the toilet? If this is not perverted, what is it?
But now, in the quiet environment, any sound of water is amplified again and again. Following closely, it was the deafening sound of his heartbeat.
Pei Zhi's chest seemed to be under great pressure, his heartbeat was too fast... If someone had told him in the past that he would eavesdrop on other people's movements in the toilet, he would just think the other person was an idiot.
But now, he has really become such a person.
Xie Ning lowered his head slightly when he came out of the bathroom. His fair skin was covered with a layer of powder that had not yet been dispersed. He calmly sat back in his seat: "Okay, let's continue."
"I've been really busy recently. It's not that I don't want you to send me off, but my classes are all early. Even if I don't have early classes, I want to go to the studio first, which will delay your class. This is why I don't want to have dinner together." Xie Ning said, "I'm not deliberately ignoring you."
From the beautiful collarbone to the rosy face, Pei Zhi's Adam's apple slid, and he asked: "Really?"
Xie Ning: "Really."
Pei Zhi asked cautiously: "Then can we have dinner together later? I'm booking a restaurant now."
When he went to pick up his phone, his fingers almost touched Xie Ning's finger bones. Xie Ning, as if in a state of stress, withdrew her hand before her fingers touched.
"That won't work. I have an appointment." Xie Ning said softly, "How about next time? I'll treat you to dinner next time."
Xie Ning's words made Pei Zhi, who had finally calmed down, feel uneasy again.
They seemed to have returned to the time when they first met. Xie Ning was particularly polite to him, maintaining a certain distance and scale in everything, with a sense of propriety and boundaries.
But it made people particularly uneasy.
Xie Ning glanced at the time: "The meal I ordered for you is almost here. Remember to eat lunch later. I'm leaving first. My friend is still waiting for me."
Qi Ran sent him a message saying that he was almost at the school gate. Students are not allowed to park in the school, let alone outside vehicles, so he can only go out early.
After leaving the dormitory, Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost... almost ran into him again just now. He finally managed to suppress his craving for skin cravings, but almost gave up.
Fortunately, he managed to hold back.
...
Xie Ning was lying.
Xie Ning was just ignoring him.
Pei Zhi's intuition was very accurate, and he trusted his intuition very much. Moreover, Xie Ning was very different before and after.
Before, Xie Ning obviously liked to have physical contact with him, but now, Xie Ning seemed like a different person. When they were about to have physical contact, she would retract her hand first.
Did Xie Ning dislike him? Did she think he was dirty?
Or was he too clingy?
Xie Ning just said this. To Xie Ning, it was just a casual joke, but to Pei Zhi, it had a deeper meaning.
Did he do something wrong recently? Or did he make Xie Ning angry in some way? He reflected carefully, listed the things he had done one by one, and finally made a table.
Pei Zhi found that he seemed to be wrong in everything.
Xie Ning was so tired when she came back, how could he just leave it alone? He should take the initiative to massage Xie Ning's shoulders and legs to help Xie Ning relieve her fatigue.
Xie Ning said that she didn't need him to drive her home, so would he really not drive her home? Why did he ask? Why didn't he just drive her home? Xie Ning was so polite, how could she let him drive her home when she knew he was sick. Xie Ning
didn't want him to deliver breakfast, so would he really not deliver it? It's like giving a gift, don't ask if they like it or if they want it, just give it and be done with it.
Xie Ning also said that she didn't want him to hug her, so would he really not hug her? Well, then he really would not hug her, because he listened to Xie Ning.
Pei Zhi leaned back in his chair dejectedly.
After such self-reflection, he realized that he was totally wrong. No wonder Xie Ning was angry, no wonder Xie Ning ignored him, it was all his own fault.
There must be a chance to make amends...
Pei Zhi quickly picked up his coat and left the dormitory. There was still a chance, he could still explain. He had been thinking too much recently, and was too afraid of making Xie Ning angry, so he made such a low-level mistake.
He shouldn't have kept asking, he should have given it directly. Like giving a gift.
Where is Xie Ning now? There was no reply to the message... She should be at the school gate, right?
If Xie Ning was going to meet a friend, whether she was picked up by a friend or took a taxi, she had to get in the car at the school gate.
Pei Zhi was running around the campus and met Gu Nian, who had just ended a date. Gu Nian waved at him: "Brother Pei! Are you going to look for Miss Xie? I just saw him, why don't you two come out together..."
Gu Nian thought they were going out to play together.
Pei Zhi immediately turned around and came to Gu Nian with an anxious look: "Did you just see Xie Ning? Where is he? Are you going to the gate?"
"Yeah." Gu Nian was stunned by Pei Zhi's attitude, "Aren't you going out to play together? He said the car was at the gate, I thought it was your car..."
"It's not my car." Pei Zhi left such a sentence, quickened his pace, and ran towards the school gate.
On the way, Pei Zhi actually met Shen Ye.
Pei Zhi didn't intend to pay attention to Shen Ye, but when Pei Zhi passed in front of Shen Ye, Shen Ye said viciously: "Did you get dumped? I knew it. He can't fall in love with you, it will break his rules."
Pei Zhi's footsteps paused, his hair was a little messy in the cold wind, but it did not hinder the sharpness of Mian Pang at all. He slowly turned sideways: "Rules?"
"You don't know?" Shen Ye added insult to injury, "Xie Ning doesn't like personal matters involved in work, he has always been very clear about the difference. When I confessed to him, he immediately broke off the cooperative relationship with me, otherwise, you and I would still be 'colleagues' now."
"It's because of this that I have never dared to express my feelings to him directly. I know that once I let him know that I like him, our relationship will be over, and even the most basic trading relationship will be gone." Shen Ye pulled the corner of his mouth mockingly, "But I didn't expect Xie Ning to be so ruthless and never paid attention to me again... I thought, after all, we have cooperated for a period of time, so we should be considered friends..."
Pei Zhi interrupted his fantasy: "You are not his friend, don't dream."
"I'm not, are you?" Shen Ye suddenly got rid of his sadness. He looked at Pei Zhi sarcastically, "Oh, that's right. You told him that you are friends. Does Xie Ning know? The friend he thought was a dangerous person who coveted him secretly. I see that you look so ugly and anxious now, he must have known it. Pei Zhi-"
"What's the difference between you and me? Even if I'm not his friend, aren't you the same? After Xie Ning knows your feelings, you are just a tool that can be kicked away and ruthlessly abandoned."
"To him, we are all tools. Tools to set off his work."
Pei Zhi knew that Shen Ye wanted to see him make a fool of himself, so he said this. He tried his best to remain calm, but when he turned and left, his hands at his side couldn't help shaking.
Did Xie Ning really find out?
Yes, how could he forget this? Xie Ning has always been clear about public and private matters. When Xie Ning and Shen Ye completely severed their cooperative relationship and approached him, it was because Shen Ye and Xie Ning confessed their love... Is that right?
Pei Zhi's brain is completely confused.
Xie Ning knows his feelings, so she has deliberately ignored him recently, refused to eat and travel with him, and refused his kindness?
Pei Zhi seemed to be awakened in an instant.
If you think about it carefully, his feelings are really obvious. He sticks to Xie Ning all the time, as if he has skin thirst, and he wants to hang on Xie Ning 24 hours a day. In front of Xie Ning, he will also show a completely different side of himself.
He is like a naive child. In order to get the attention of the person he likes, he will always do something ugly.
But he doesn't feel ashamed at all. As long as Xie Ning is happy, everything he does is worth it.
It's really obvious.
Whether it's love or flattery, it's very obvious.
Xie Ning is so smart, she must have noticed his feelings a long time ago, so she always looks hesitant.
Xie Ning is so smart, how could she not see his little thoughts.
Pei Zhi thought he had hidden it well, but in fact, Xie Ning had seen through it a long time ago. He continued to get along with Xie Ning as if nothing had happened.
How did Xie Ning see him during this time?
During this time, he wanted to hide his feelings, but all he did were stupid things, like an idiot.
Would she think he was bad? Would
she think he was perverted.
Unknowingly, Pei Zhi had arrived at the school gate. He was handsome and tall, and he would easily become the visual focus wherever he went.
Xie Ning, who was waiting for Qi Ran, naturally noticed it. He saw Pei Zhi's distraught face and walked over: "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" Are you
feeling unwell again because of your illness?
A familiar voice brought Pei Zhi back to his senses. In the cold wind, he saw Xie Ning's face half wrapped tightly in a scarf, which was frozen pale, and the exposed eyes were cold and wet.
Almost without thinking, Pei Zhi took off his coat and covered Xie Ning with it.
His five frozen fingers were as messy as his brain and did not obey. For the first time in his life, Pei Zhi was so slow and reluctant to use his stiff fingers to button up Xie Ning's clothes.
A whistle sounded suddenly, and a red sports car stopped at the school gate, which was very eye-catching.
The people in the car didn't know what they saw, and they kept stepping on the engine to make loud roars. The chassis of the sports car was almost touching the ground, and the deafening sound was like a beast that kept issuing warnings.
Xie Ning: "My friend is here, I'm leaving first."
He took two steps, but still felt uneasy. He took off his scarf, stood on tiptoes, and wrapped it around Pei Zhi's neck. He instructed, "If you feel uncomfortable, remember to go to the infirmary."
Xie Ning's schedule was tight. After looking at the house with Qi Ran, he had to hurry back to the studio.
Otherwise, he would accompany Pei Zhi to the infirmary first.
Qi Ran had a strong hostility towards this strange man, especially when he saw Xie Ning take off the scarf and give it to him, he was really furious.
His brother actually gave his scarf to someone else? How shameless this man is in such a cold day!
The sports car roared again, and the huge sound wave brought Xie Ning back to his senses. He thought about it and decided to ask the runner to buy some more medicine. It seemed that he had finished the last dose of medicine...
Qi Ran got out of the car and helped Xie Ning open the passenger door. Just as Xie Ning was about to get in the car, the long-lost voice of his heart appeared again.
"Xie Ning, you..."
Xie Ning was stunned. He hadn't heard this voice for several days. He thought that the mind-reading technique had lost its effect and Pei Zhi's voice would never appear again.
In the rustling of the cold wind, he turned his head, his hair was blown flying, and the scene in front of him was cut into small pieces, like a scene in a movie.
Pei Zhi was also looking at Xie Ning. His gaze was heavy and deep, and he looked at Xie Ning from a distance through the vast crowd.
"Have you discovered that I like you?"
The pedestrians had different expressions.
Beside the red sports car, Xie Ning was wearing a coat that was one size larger. His face was cold, gorgeous and delicate. His fingers were slightly pink from being frozen. His fingertips seemed to be trembling, and his pupils were dilated because of excessive surprise.
What did he just hear?
Was it an illusion? Or did he hear it wrong?
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and they still maintained the posture of looking at each other.
A moment later, Pei Zhi, who was not far away, moved his feet, his deep and handsome face was tense, and it seemed that he finally mustered up the courage to approach Xie Ning.
However, Xie Ning was frightened and got into the car body.
He fled.
