Chapter Fourteen Little Star
It's getting a bit chilly, the temperature has dropped.
You Suian sneezed. She was still wearing short sleeves. She looked up at the sky; it was overcast but not stuffy, and the wind was also gloomy.
She touched her arm; it was a little cold.
Autumn...has arrived?
You Suian looked back at the teaching building. She had originally planned to go to the convenience store to buy some yogurt and snacks, but there were none left in the classroom.
Between going upstairs to add more clothes and going directly to the convenience store to buy snacks, she chose to watch the fluttering fallen leaves.
Just before spring, she was sweeping up fallen leaves. The wind was cold and strong, and it kept swirling up the leaves she had already collected.
This made her even slower than Li Yunxing, even though sweeping the floor was easier than wiping the tiles. It also made Li Yunxing wait for her for a little while, and she wondered if that was why she blushed at that moment.
You Sui'an looked up at the fluttering leaves, wondering how they had fallen to the ground in the next second.
From mid-air to the ground.
How come I saw him again the next second?
From the mind to the present.
Suddenly, I feel so happy and lucky.
Can fallen leaves grant wishes?
She hoped that she and the person she loved would never be separated.
As if hearing her wish, the leaves fell one by one, piling up together.
They flourish together on the branches and embrace each other at the base of the tree.
In that instant, she thought of many other people.
She seems to be constantly blessed.
Born from her parents' love, she received so much more love in return. Like a wildly growing branch, she absorbed all the nutrients she craved.
She always maintained a devout reverence for everything she loved, and these things were an integral part of her being.
Even if viewed individually, they are just small leaves of a towering tree or an inconspicuous piece of bark, but none of them can be missing.
She possessed it as if she were about to lose it, and lived it as if she were about to die.
Christianity believes that humans are born to atone for their sins, a view she has always scoffed at.
But occasionally, she also worries that she has too much and might lose it all.
Her life was so wonderful it seemed unreal.
Li Yunxing greeted her with a smile: "Where are you going? Why are you standing here in a daze?"
You Sui'an's thoughts were interrupted. She was suddenly pulled from her ethereal state into reality.
This person is real. Everything she likes is real. She has never lost anything.
Caught off guard, Li Yunxing looked into the depths of her eyes, which were as vast and profound as the sea. He had no time to escape, nor did he want to hide.
He didn't know that his shy, shallow smile was like an invincible sword, crashing straight into the unfathomable depths of the sea.
From then on, the warm sunlight penetrated deep into the seabed, and everything seemed to glow, crystal clear, sacred and ethereal.
He is more than just a star.
You Suian rubbed his arms and said with a smile, "It's a little cold. I was thinking of going back to get my coat, but the stairs are hard to climb. Maybe I should just go to the convenience store instead?"
Let's move forward then. Being preoccupied with gains and losses is not a good habit.
Li Yunxing's eyes lit up, her gaze full of eagerness: "What's so special about this? Don't underestimate me. I can get here with your coat in less than a minute. Hey? It's draped over your chair, right?"
You Suian nodded blankly.
Li Yunxing rarely saw You Suian unable to react; most of the time, she was in complete control.
He couldn't help but smile more broadly, glanced back at her, and then ran upstairs as fast as he could.
Hmph, he's the guy who won bronze in the 3000 meters, only slightly inferior to the sports student and another guy whose identity I don't know. Besides, I'm much better looking than those two.
He was incredibly fast, so fast that You Sui'an didn't even have time to react before he was right in front of her again.
She was still a little stunned when she took the coat, which still held the warmth of Li Yunxing's hand.
Li Yunxing found her dazed and cute, and suddenly understood her wicked sense of humor, so she started to imitate her and play pranks on people.
"What's wrong? Are you stunned? I know I'm handsome, after all, someone like me barely passed the 800-meter physical test."
You Suian didn't hold it against him. She looked at him with a smile, said "He is indeed handsome," and walked on.
Now it was Li Yunxing's turn to be stunned.
3, 2, 1...
Li Yunxing had already run up behind her.
She smiled with pleasure.
Like a loyal and affectionate puppy, or a proud and adorable cat.
"He'll definitely catch up with me," You Sui'an thought maliciously.
When they arrived at the convenience store, they were somewhat surprised to find it quite crowded.
You Sui'an dislikes waiting; it's boring, and she dislikes anything that's boring.
Moreover, with Li Yunxing right next to her, she felt strange. They were going to spend those boring few minutes together, just sitting there, waiting aimlessly.
But it doesn't seem too bad.
The line crawled slowly like a centipede, and when they got close, the people in front made a lot of noise.
"Auntie, I want the most expensive one! I want to treat my brothers to it."
The aunt was a little confused; what did she want?
The person then realized what was happening: "Oh, I want a drink." He then reached for his campus card to pay.
After swiping twice, nothing came out. The man's face turned red as he suddenly realized he had a water card with him.
He approached the guy next to him, thinking that this time he could finally swipe his card, but it turned out that this guy also had a water card.
A burst of laughter followed; it was quite lively.
Finally, another one of their brothers appeared, and everyone burst into laughter.
Somehow, while they were laughing, You Sui'an and Li Yunxing made eye contact.
It's not that boring, is it?
When it was time to visit Suian, she took a bottle of yogurt and several packets of dried fish, mostly sweet and sour. She also brought a few packets of gluten for Tang Qingyue.
She swiped her card and stepped aside.
After hesitating for a while, Li Yunxing simply bought two bottles of water and some dried fish.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you didn't come prepared, you just came to keep me company, did you?" You Suian teased.
"No way!" Li Yunxing denied instinctively, but her eyes darted around, and she seemed a little afraid to look at her.
"Ah, let me think, is it possible that someone forgot what they came out to do?" You Sui pretended to be thinking.
Li Yunxing then realized that he had forgotten. He had planned to go to the school gate to get some warm clothes. The temperature had dropped rapidly in the past two days, and he had only brought short sleeves. His parents said they would bring him clothes, and his homeroom teacher had just asked him to go get them.
The weather in Province C is so unpredictable; the temperature always rises and falls sharply, like a child who changes his face frequently, laughing and joking one second and crying the next.
He silently recited to himself, "Beauty can be a trap." If You Sui'an hadn't reminded him, he might have really forgotten.
You Sui'an was walking slowly when suddenly someone ran past her from behind, looking very hurried. She checked her watch.
There are three minutes left before class starts.
This is really bad. It takes forever to climb the stairs.
You Suian reminded Li Yunxing, and then ran off.
Li Yunxing was running slowly behind her when some childish thoughts suddenly came to mind.
He ran ahead of her, then walked slowly, and when he saw that You Suian was about to catch up, he ran ahead again.
It's like a cat teasing a mouse.
You Sui'an simply gave up running, snorted, and thought to himself, "So what if I'm late? I don't care anymore."
Seeing that You Sui'an really had no intention of running any further, Li Yunxing had no choice but to turn back.
"So lazy?"
You Sui'an scoffed, "Childish."
Li Yunxing mimicked her nonchalant tone: "Yes, that's right, you're mature."
The next second he broke down and burst into laughter.
He leaned closer again, acting all cheeky: "I was just imitating you."
You Sui'an was amused and deliberately spoke in a dramatic, uneven tone: "I'm copying you~"
You Suian continued, shaking his head and commenting, "Not at all like me. He hasn't grasped the essence of my coolness. He looks like a little fool."
Li Yunxing snorted and ran forward again. You Suian chased after him for a couple of steps as a token gesture, then slowly started walking again.
He looked back and was somewhat annoyed to find that You Suian hadn't caught up.
But then he thought that You Suian definitely couldn't catch up with him, so he simply ran back.
Like a lively and active puppy.
The laughter of You Sui'an was more captivating than the faint sound of the wind, making one's heart itch.
The wind rustled through the trees.
They chatted casually, their footsteps light, the sound of their footsteps crunching on the fallen leaves crisp and clear.
Even though there were hardly any people left on the road, and even though it was almost time for class.
They were very relaxed, as if nothing in the world could disturb them.
A bird perched on a branch, startling a few fallen leaves.
The fallen leaves drifted and swayed, just like their swaying hearts.
"Hey? Can I call you Little Cloud?"
Li Yunxing refused without even thinking; it sounded like a girl's name. Besides, it was so embarrassing.
You Sui'an thought for a moment: "How about Little Star?"
Looking into You Suian's expectant eyes, he found it hard to say no.
Seeing his tacit agreement, You Sui'an smiled happily.
"Li Yunxing? Li Yunxing? Little cloud~ Little star~"
Li Yunxing quickened her pace out of shyness.
"Little Cloud~" Li Yunxing said without turning her head.
"Little Star~" Li Yunxing turned her head away helplessly.
It seems he really likes this title. You Suian walked forward with satisfaction.
Li Yunxing grinned mischievously: "We're going to be late, An'an."
Although he spoke the last two words very softly, they were as alluring as feathers.
And then he just ran away.
They ran away.
You Sui'an took off to chase after him.
The moment the school bell rang, they arrived at the corner of the stairs almost simultaneously.
Fortunately, this was a geography class, and geography teacher Ms. Wen is usually surrounded by students from other classes asking questions.
The main reason is that he is gentle and has a good temper, and geography is inherently difficult, requiring thought and guidance. Even someone as lazy as You Sui'an would sometimes ask questions.
Even if a student asks a question that is very simple or seemingly nonsensical, he will think about it carefully and respond accordingly.
You Sui'an, panting, took a moment to say that Li Yunxing should go in first.
Li Yunxing thought about it and agreed; it felt strange that the two of them came back together.
Actually, the main reason I visited Sui'an was because I was tired and couldn't run anymore, but it's a bit embarrassing to say it out loud.
Then she slowly walked in, dragging her feet.
You Sui'an smiled sheepishly at Tang Qingyue's teasing gaze.
Tang Qingyue must have seen Li Yunxing take her coat.
This idiot who acts on a whim.
Then she saw Zhao Zhi also whispering to Li Yunxing with curiosity, and she knew immediately what it was about.
You Suian smiled silently, quietly returned to his seat, and waited for the teacher to start the lesson.
However, on a whim, she suddenly turned around and looked behind her, seemingly to see if the teacher had arrived.
But his gaze fell on them for a moment.
This startled Zhao Zhi; he felt a pang of guilt, because he had just been asking Li Yunxing about the ambiguous relationship between her and Li Yunxing.
Li Yunxing whispered, "She must know what you're talking about. She was just trying to scare you."
Zhao Zhi found Li Yunxing's proud demeanor absurd; love really does make people stupid.
Zhao Zhi firmly believed that they must have talked in secret, even though Li Yunxing denied it.
Zhao Zhi looked at You Suian's back again, his eyes filled with awe. What a formidable person.
But she's a good match for this silly Li Yunxing.
