Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sweet and Sour Flavor
You Suian did not return to school until three days later.
She returned just in time, near the end of the morning self-study session.
You Sui'an's face was flushed, with a few beads of sweat. It was the middle of summer, and the morning sun was already quite hot.
She breathed a sigh of relief, returned to her seat, tossed her bag aside, and went to the office to hand in her phone.
There was still some reluctance to part.
When she returned, the bell had already rung.
She distributed the things she had brought to everyone.
However, since it was morning and the milk tea shops were not open, she did not bring milk tea for Qi Xiaoqian and Shen Furong.
"Yay!" A cheer rang out. Qi Xiaoqian looked at what she wanted and smiled happily.
Shen Furong and Zhao Zhi were also smiling, but not as exaggeratedly.
You Suian rummaged through her bag again and took out a bunch of snacks. She gave a bunch of spicy strips to Tang Qingyue and a bunch of dried fish to Li Yunxing.
Then some grapes were distributed to everyone.
Li Yunxing was surprised that You Sui'an knew he liked dried fish, and his almond-shaped eyes widened slightly.
You Sui'an looked at him with amusement, as if he knew what he was thinking: "Since you won't tell me, I'll just have to buy whatever I like."
Li Yunxing felt a little disappointed, just a little.
You Sui'an then smiled and said to him, "Why don't you see what it tastes like?"
Sweet and sour flavor.
This is a flavor they all really like.
Li Yunxing was somewhat unsure what You Sui'an wanted to say.
You Suian sighed, looking at him somewhat pathetically, "This is my favorite flavor. If I hadn't known you liked it too, I would have given it back to you."
Li Yunxing's face flushed, and he said "Oh." He turned his head away somewhat embarrassedly.
I've had a great rest these past few days in Sui'an. I've spent most of my time lying in bed playing on my phone, and it's been very pleasant.
Aside from not being able to use air conditioning frequently.
She has a bad cold, and the air conditioning will make it worse. It's really uncomfortable in the summer.
But things are alright now.
You Sui'an wasn't quite used to school life yet, and feeling a bit bored, he took out the homework that had piled up over the past few days and started catching up.
She would just copy some of the papers that were due soon, and she was too lazy to even look at the ones that had already been reviewed.
She doesn't want to go back to school, sob sob sob.
Perhaps it was because she was ill, but her mind was particularly fragile.
You Sui'an lay on the table, feeling a little homesick.
Li Yunxing walked over and looked at her with sincere eyes: "Are you still not feeling well?"
You Sui'an looked at him with a wronged expression: "I want to go home. School is too depressing."
Such a life made her, who was naturally free-spirited, very uncomfortable.
Perhaps noticing that You Sui'an was not in a good mood today, Li Yunxing stayed with her, even if it was just casual chatting.
"Li Yunxing, I want to go home."
"Um."
"I want to play video games."
"I'll be with you then."
I want to hit someone.
“Okay.” Li Yunxing extended her hand.
You Suian gently punched his hand. She felt much better now.
She asked Li Yunxing for some more homework, intending to copy some of it.
A day actually goes by very quickly. You Sui'an counted the days, realizing that there was still a long time before the holiday started, a full four days.
During self-study class, You Sui'an was idly rushing to finish his homework.
Taking a day off is great, but doing homework is a nightmare.
Suddenly, the homeroom teacher, Ms. Li, was wandering around the classroom again.
She heard rustling voices. Then Li Yunxing got up from the stool.
Huh? Does Teacher Li want to see him about something?
Li Yunxing didn't know what Teacher Li was going to do, and followed along without understanding why.
He was the only one in the office, so the door wasn't locked; that's a school rule.
Unexpectedly, Teacher Li got straight to the point and said earnestly, "I think you and You Sui'an like each other, right? You're almost together."
Li Yunxing stammered, "No, no."
I don't know if they're denying their mutual feelings or if they're about to get together.
Teacher Li smiled easily: "I didn't mean to blame you. You two are both very sensible. It's just that you're dating, and I don't have the habit of breaking up couples."
Li Yunxing looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Teacher Li continued, "Alright, I'll just say one thing: don't be too blatant, and don't let it affect your own and You Sui'an's grades."
Li Yunxing's face instantly turned red.
this……
They clearly didn't talk about it.
However, he still obediently agreed, even though he seemed a little confused.
He quickly returned to the classroom.
You Sui'an looked at Li Yunxing, who was somewhat flustered and blushing, with curiosity: "What's wrong with you?"
Li Yunxing was a little unsure of what to say: "No...it's nothing."
His eyes darted away.
You Sui'an pressed closer, looking at him with a mocking expression: "Did Teacher Li find out you secretly brought your phone to school?"
Li Yunxing was defeated. He looked at her helplessly.
"How could that be?"
You Sui'an just chuckled and turned back to slowly finish his homework.
Li Yunxing felt a little uneasy, but it seemed that Teacher Li had only contacted him.
That's good.
Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing for You Sui'an if he found out.
Although Li Yunxing really enjoyed visiting Sui'an, he was always evasive and not good at expressing himself.
Besides, it would be too embarrassing if others found out.
Even now, he still feels that this feeling is not quite real.
They met at the wrong time.
You Sui'an is very well-behaved; her family would never approve of her dating early.
After all, she usually has to buy junk food secretly.
Li Yunxing looked out the window.
The sun was bright and scorching. The trees swayed gently in the breeze.
He had no interest in appreciating it.
Some people are preoccupied with worries.
She was completely unaware.
You Sui'an will never know his underlying insecurity.
Because I care.
Therefore, they are prone to anxiety and fear of loss.
She's so kind.
It's like a grand unrequited love story. Although their feelings for each other are obvious, Li Yunxing seems unable to grasp them no matter what.
She is that ethereal cloud.
Freedom, carefree, unrestrained...
Perhaps it's because my name is bad.
Clouds and stars... meteorites.
Like a falling star.
His eyes were still wet, but he seemed somewhat lost in thought.
You Sui'an turned around at some point.
He was looking out the window.
She was looking at him.
What is scenery? Who is scenery?
Nobody knows.
Quietly. Even though the classroom was still noisy, You Sui'an felt only a sense of peace.
Li Yunxing stared blankly out the window, seemingly oblivious to the noise.
The girl's sweet voice brought him back to his senses, like the crisp, melodious sound of crackled ice on Longquan celadon.
It is as distant as it is.
"Li Yunxing, are you thinking about me?" You Suian shook his head.
"No, I didn't..." Li Yunxing turned around awkwardly and looked at You Suian.
You Sui'an laughed heartily.
"I miss you. Have you missed me even a little bit?"
Li Yunxing hesitated for a moment, but then nodded.
You Sui'an then gave a light snort: "Who misses you? Time to hand in your English homework. The class representative has to hand it in to the teacher before the next class."
Li Yunxing responded sullenly and began searching for her homework.
You Sui'an looked at him with a smile, his eyes shining like stars.
"So... what happened? Why do I feel like you're avoiding me?"
You Sui'an was somewhat puzzled.
Li Yunxing sighed softly.
“I’m not avoiding you. It’s just… I still feel like we’re so far apart…” Li Yunxing didn’t know how to start, but she couldn’t bear to leave You Suian without an answer.
You Suian seemed to know what he was talking about. She quietly reached her hand under the desk.
"Li Yunxing, take my hand."
He stared at her blankly.
You Sui'an smiled gently, just like that rainy night.
As if bewitched, he took her hand involuntarily and uncontrollably.
It seemed that the next second, he would see the flickering candlelight and the stuffy, damp classroom.
The world seemed to have darkened again.
Did I... did I hold her hand again?
Li Yunxing's mind went blank.
He stared at her blankly, as if realizing what he was doing.
You Suian never felt that taking the initiative was shameful; on the contrary, she enjoyed the feeling of being in control.
Besides, it was precisely because of Li Yunxing's initiative that they ended up in the current situation.
He was clearly so shy and timid.
"Li Yunxing, you're not happy."
He did not deny it.
I just don't know how to answer.
After a moment, he slowly spoke, "I'm sorry. I always overthink things. I feel like we're so far apart." So far apart that it all seems like an illusion.
I am not good enough for you.
You Sui'an shrugged it off: "How far could it be? Is it that you can't walk anymore or that I can't walk anymore? If I want to, then I can."
How could we possibly separate?
Don't give up.
You Suian remained as confident as ever. Although she smiled gently, the stubbornness hidden in her heart had not diminished.
Li Yunxing finally smiled.
It doesn't feel like summer anymore.
It feels like springtime when the first snow melts.
You Sui'an glared at him mischievously, pretending to be fierce: "I won't take your hand next time."
Li Yunxing said "Oh," and looked at her with her wet eyes, revealing a hint of grievance.
But You Sui'an was easily swayed by this, and was quickly charmed into smiling again.
He definitely won't do that again next time.
How can love be sustained by only one person? You Sui'an has already done enough.
He cannot back down.
This is disrespectful to both of them.
Besides, Li Yunxing had already fallen deeply in love.
Everyone is already deeply involved and enjoying it immensely.
He closed his eyes briefly; the scorching heat wasn't just from the sunlight. You Sui'an always felt he wasn't a good person, but Li Yunxing only felt she was the best person in the world, and there was no one better than her.
No, there's no need to search.
His eyes were so small that they could only fit the person in front of him.
Visiting Sui'an. I like you.
But no one can say that at this time.
Li Yunxing is both grateful to have met her now and often regrets that she has met her now.
But this is the happiest thing in the world.
How fortunate we are, how precious!
He didn't wait any longer and took her hand right then and there.
Under You Suian's somewhat surprised gaze, he held her tightly.
You Sui'an was both amused and exasperated: "Are you stupid? Everyone will see it soon."
Li Yunxing then realized what she had done.
Her face turned bright red, and her ears weren't spared either.
But his smile was beautiful. Those moist eyes were beautiful no matter how you looked at them.
You Sui'an smiled as well.
