Chapter 21 You two are not from the same world
Zhu Zhiyao sat next to Cen Nian, who was still memorizing the remaining English words, while she was editing her Moments next to him.
Zhu Zhiyao picked out the pictures, considered the layout, and finally wrote the copy: It’s so happy to be on vacation with good friends~
Once the circle of friends was posted, it received 20 likes within ten minutes.
[Tong Yue]: Oh my god!!! You two are so beautiful!!! You went out to play without me, I’m crying!
[Zhu Zhiyao] replied to [Tong Yue]: Who has an appointment today...
[Song Ze]: What a great photographer! I almost couldn’t recognize this was our new classmate.
[Fang Yuan, Class 1, Grade 12]: Who is the girl in the third picture? She is definitely my pick!
[Zhu Zhiyao] replied to [Fang Yuan from Class 1, Grade 2]: Damn man, stay away from my bestie!!!
Cen Nian was completely unaware of the compliments and likes from others, and she hadn't even had time to open her phone to check them out.
Zhu Zhiyao replied one by one until she saw a certain name and her heart beat uncontrollably faster.
Qin Zhouyan liked her circle of friends.

Jin Siyang took a shower and changed his clothes. He hadn't had time to blow-dry his hair, so it looked a little messy.
He packed his changed clothes and the wet swimming trunks, zipped them up, and slung the bag across his body. "Not leaving?"
Qin Zhouyan was browsing his social media: "Let's go, they're waiting outside. Have you booked a restaurant?"
"Um."
It was agreed before the game that whoever came first would treat the guests. In this case, it was natural that Jin Siyang treated the guests.
The two walked out of the bathroom side by side. Cheng Yiwen, Teng Fang, and Chu Chen were waiting at the door. Seeing them coming, she raised her voice, "You two are too slow."
Qin Zhouyan bumped Jin Siyang's hand and said, "I find Cen Nian quite pretty, look." He handed the photo of Cen Nian that was on Zhu Zhiyao's WeChat Moments to Jin Siyang, with a hint of gossip in his eyes.
Jin Siyang glanced at her casually. She looked like a clear spring in the photo, and her smile was playful. "Are you sick?"
Qin Zhouyan raised an eyebrow: "I just found that our new classmate is quite pretty, but don't worry, I'm on the same side with you. If you hate her, I'm with you."
Jin Siyang pondered for a moment and then asked slowly, "Do I hate her?"
"What else?"
"She's not that big of a deal for me to dislike. I just don't know her well, and I'm too lazy to get to know her."
Qin Zhouyan was even more confused: "Then why did you help her repair her phone? My cousin said he has never touched such a cheap phone since he was a child."
Jin Siyang thought of that day, her tears, and her cautiousness, and sneered: "Didn't I say I hate seeing people cry the most?"
Qin Zhouyan shrugged, the teasing in his tone still there: "When did you become so kind? I've never seen you treat others like this." He deliberately dragged out the last line of his tone and asked deliberately.
Jin Siyang lowered his eyes and looked at him with an expression that said, "Are you crazy?" "Are you sick?"
"I'm curious!" Qin Zhouyan said righteously.
"Thinking too much is also a disease." Jin Siyang's tone was as cold as ever.
Qin Zhouyan pondered for a moment and nodded to himself: "But it's also true that you two are not from the same world."
Cheng Yiwen trotted over: "What are you two talking about?"
Before Qin Zhouyan could speak, Jin Siyang replied, "Nothing."
Cheng Yiwen was stunned for a moment, then put on a smile again: "Hurry up, I'm hungry."
They called three cars respectively, one for Jin Siyang, Qin Zhouyan, Chu Chen and Teng Fang. After getting in the car, Teng Fang picked a powerful English song and danced along.
Qin Zhouyan patted his shoulder and said, "Fang'er, do you know how obscene this song is?"
Teng Fang had a buzz cut, and his sharp features revealed a hint of silliness: "Really? I didn't understand the lyrics."
“…”
Another car followed closely behind, pulling in a total of four girls. One of them couldn't hide her surprise in her words: "Wenwen, you were talking to Jin Siyang just now, and he kept responding to you!"
Cheng Yiwen pursed her lips and smiled: "He has always been like this, it seems like he has never ignored me."
"It's amazing. Jin Siyang is such a cold person, but he responded to every word you said."
There was a burst of booing in the car, and Cheng Yiwen's face turned red along with the booing.
"That's right, Wenwen. We don't dare talk to Jin Siyang. Last time, someone handed him a love letter in person, but he ran away after just two sentences. Jin Siyang has such a strong aura, and he's so cold and aloof that it's a bit scary."
Cheng Yiwen tried her best to keep her tone normal: "Actually, I don't think he's that cold."
"You're the only one who thinks so, okay?"
"What does this mean? It means that Jin Siyang treats you differently."
"Ahhhhhhhh! I'm gonna pop!"
Cheng Yiwen blushed: "Okay, stop making fun of me!"

As the night deepened, a crescent moon hung high in the sky. Cen Nian walked into Chengze Villa under the moonlight. The sound of the wind and insects outside, coupled with the occasional noise coming from the villa, created a unique sense of tranquility.
Cen Nian walked for fifteen minutes and finally returned home. The three-story villa was pitch black. Jin Siyang hadn't returned yet. She wandered outside the door for a while, encouraging herself: "What's there to be afraid of? Such an expensive villa shouldn't have ghosts. Bah, bah, bah, there are no ghosts in this world."
The car lights spun around and the sound of brakes came from behind. Cen Nian turned around and saw Jin Siyang got out of the car and was walking towards her.
Cen Nian looked at him stupidly. She didn't know why, but she always felt that Jin Siyang looked listless and a little tired.
"What are you doing standing at the door?" Jin Siyang's voice was very soft, with a hint of hoarseness that he himself didn't even notice.
"I, I'm scared." Cen Nian said obediently. She lowered her eyes and looked at him quickly again, "It's a good thing you're back."
Jin Siyang's hand holding the door card suddenly paused. He looked over to Cen Nian and said slowly, "What are you afraid of? Is there a ghost chasing you and biting you?"
Cen Nian's mouth twitched slightly. This person's words were really irritating, but she seemed unable to refute him, so she could only mutter: "Anyway, I'm just afraid."
With a click, the door opened and Cen Nian followed Jin Siyang in. He touched the button on the entrance and the light turned on instantly.
Jin Siyang didn't say anything else and went upstairs to his room. Normally, he would wash again, but today he closed the door and fell asleep on the bed.
After taking a shower, Cen Nian sat at the desk with her legs bent. She read two essays that received full marks and was about to pick up a pen to quote famous quotes when suddenly, her vision went dark and the world around her fell into darkness.
She was stunned for a long time, until her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she could vaguely see the outlines of the surroundings, then she slowly stood up.
Looking out the window, the street lights outside and the lights in other villas were safe and sound. It seemed that only their villa had a power outage.
Cen Nian walked in the dark and opened the door carefully. The corridor outside was dark. A faint breeze blew in when she opened the door. She shivered, wondering why Jin Siyang didn't react when the power went out?
She turned on her phone. It wasn't too late yet. After thinking it over, she walked to the door of Jin Siyang's room and knocked cautiously: "Jin Siyang."
Two seconds passed, and there was no response.
"Jin Siyang, are you asleep?"
She was still met with silence in response.
Cen Nian didn't knock on the door again. He hunched his shoulders, turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone, and walked towards his room.
Suddenly, there was a bang sound coming from Jin Siyang's room.
Cen Nian was so scared that he stood up straight. He wouldn’t fall, would he?
She retreated back to the door of the room and said, "I'm going in."
