Your kindness gives me this kind of illusion.
On Saturday, Xu Chuwan went to Laifu Bookstore to meet with Zhang Jiye, just like any other day.
Today, she didn't bring an English test paper for Zhang Jiye. Zhang Jiye was overjoyed to see that Xu Chuwan had finally not brought him a test paper today, but on the surface, he pretended to be serious and asked Xu Chuwan, "Why didn't you bring me a test paper today?"
Xu Chuwan thought this person was crazy. He was unhappy when she brought him test papers last week, and he was unhappy when she didn't bring him test papers this week.
After a long silence, Xu Chuwan spoke to Zhang Jiye: "Didn't you dislike doing the test paper?"
Zhang Jiye coughed lightly, thinking that there was indeed such a thing, but it was just an act of unwillingness. He touched his nose and said, "Who said I don't like doing test papers? I love studying."
"..."
oh.
So, you really enjoy studying.
Xu Chuwan said to Zhang Jiye expressionlessly, "Then next Saturday I'll bring you three sets of test papers to do, so you can do as many as you want. After all... some people love studying."
"..."
Didn't you love studying?
I'll let you do it all at once.
Zhang Jiye rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, three sets of test papers aren't necessary."
One, point, all, not, to, in.
Yes, that's right.
Xu Chuwan said, "Let's see how you perform today."
Zhang Jiye pursed his lips and said to Xu Chuwan, "Alright, alright, Teacher Xu."
It's that title again: "Teacher Xu".
However, she likes this nickname very much now.
Xu Chuwan was amused by his current appearance, and Zhang Jiye's lips curled up slightly when he saw her laugh.
He hoped his girl would always smile like that, without any worries.
He wanted Xu Chuwan, whom he loved, to be happy forever, even if she didn't love him.
Actually, it's fine to stay by her side like this, at least—he can bring her happiness.
Two hours later, Xu Chuwan and Zhang Jiye finished their exchange.
Xu Chuwan packed her books and put them in her schoolbag. Just as she was about to go home, Zhang Jiye called out to her. Xu Chuwan turned around, and Zhang Jiye said to her, "You still haven't used up all the game coins you wanted to top up last time. How about... you go play again today?"
Without a second thought or hesitation, Xu Chuwan replied, "Okay."
Zhang Jiye smiled, and the two walked out of the bookstore. Zhang Jiye got into the car first, and Xu Chuwan sat in the back seat of his car, just like last time.
On the way there, Xu Chuwan felt unsteady and before Zhang Jiye could speak, she instinctively put her arm around his back.
Zhang Jiye's lips curled up in a wide smile again.
Zhang Jiye, I've always been wondering if you like me, but I'm afraid to guess, afraid that I'll be wrong.
Zhang Jiye, if only you liked me...
We went to the same university.
We went to see the snow in Harbin together during winter break.
We went to Qingdao to see the sea together during the summer vacation.
We went to eat snacks near the university gate together after class.
...
How wonderful that would be.
After riding for more than twenty minutes, we arrived there.
Xu Chu got out of the car, Zhang Jiye parked the car and locked it, and the two of them went into the arcade together.
When the proprietress saw that it was Zhang Jiye again, with his "sister" by his side, she was overjoyed and said, "Little Zhang, you've brought your sister again?"
Zhang Jiye answered unhurriedly, "Yes, she begged me to come today."
"..."
Zhang Jiye, have you no shame?!
The proprietress said to Zhang Jiye, "Then you should bring her often next time! I really like your little sister."
Zhang Jiye said, "Okay, boss lady. By the way, how many game coins do I have left from last time?"
The proprietress counted the feet, and while she was doing so, Xu Chuwan stepped on Zhang Jiye's foot. Zhang Jiye pretended to be in pain, but Xu Chuwan saw through his act and said to him, "Don't pretend for me."
"..."
After the proprietress finished counting, she returned and said to Zhang Jiye, "There are three hundred games left. Do you want to take them all, or how many do you want?"
Zhang Jiye said to Xu Chuwan, "Little sister, how many do you want to take?"
Xu Chu thought for a moment and said, "Two hundred, I guess."
The proprietress smiled and said to Xu Chuwan, "Okay."
After the proprietress took the game tokens, she put them in the basket and handed them to Zhang Jiye. Zhang Jiye took them and said to the proprietress, "Thanks, proprietress."
When they got to the claw machine, Zhang Jiye casually asked Xu Chuwan, "Do you still have the plush toy I won for you last time?"
Xu Chuwan hummed in agreement and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Jiye pretended to be serious and said, "I'm afraid you'll do what you did to me just now and step on the doll I worked so hard to get for you."
"..."
Speechless.
Thoroughly, completely, speechless.
Xu Chuwan didn't want to talk to such an unreasonable person anymore.
Zhang Jiye realized that the girl was really angry, so he said, "Please don't be angry."
Xu Chuwan still pretended to ignore him.
It's quite cute.
Zhang Jiye suppressed a laugh and said to Xu Chuwan, "What do you want me to do? I'll do it."
Xu Chuwan thought for a moment and said to Zhang Jiye, "How about... you go and get me another plush toy?"
Zhang Jiye said, "That's it? It's easy for me. Which one do you want? I'll get it for you."
You are too confident.
Xu Chuwan looked around and pointed to a Kuromi.
After catching it more than twenty times, Zhang Jiye finally caught the Kuromi that Xu Chuwan had pointed out earlier and handed it to the "angry" girl, who accepted it without any hesitation.
Not even a "thank you"!?
Zhang Jiye pouted in dissatisfaction and said to Xu Chuwan, "Hey, how come you didn't even say 'thank you'?!"
Xu Chuwan smiled at his annoyed expression, and after laughing for a while, she said to Zhang Jiye, "Alright, alright, brother."
Thank you so much, Teacher Zhang. You are someone I truly admire.
Zhang Jiye was finally satisfied.
After playing for a while, Xu Chuwan was afraid that her mother would worry about her not going home yet, so she said to Zhang Jiye, "I want to go home."
Zhang Jiye said, "Okay, there are still over a hundred coins left. I'll bring you here to play again next time."
Zhang Jiye escorted the girl home. Xu Chuwan watched his departing figure and said to him, "Goodbye! Zhang Jiye!"
Zhang Jiye turned around, smiled, and said, "Okay, goodbye! Teacher Xu!"
Xu Chuwan mustered her courage and said to Zhang Jiye, "After you get home... could you send me a message?"
Xu Chuwan kept her head down and didn't see Zhang Jiye's lips curl up again. She thought he would refuse or ask "why" in a cheeky way. Just as she was thinking of other answers, Zhang Jiye spoke up: "Okay, thank you for your concern, Teacher Xu."
I will turn around as long as you call my name.
Xu Chuwan looked up and smiled at him, saying, "Who cares about you!?"
Zhang Jiye smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you don't care about me."
After Zhang Jiye finished speaking, he rode away on his bicycle.
After Xu Chuwan got home, she placed the doll that Zhang Jiye had won for her that day next to the doll he had won for her last time. Xu Chuwan touched the doll's head and liked it very much.
Zhang Jiye, can you please stop being so nice to me?
If you say that, I really get the illusion that you like me too.
Your kindness gives me this kind of illusion.
