Chapter 49 Kidnapping the Little Rabbit
What date?
Meng Shiyi's eyes were filled with confusion: "Who?"
He Xilou said indifferently: "The little boy who just sat opposite you."
Meng Shiyi shook her head and said softly, "No, he's just my squad leader. I just happened to meet him in the noodle shop."
He Xilou chuckled, his eyes cold and sharp.
The class monitor who took elective courses with her, drank couple's milk tea with her, ate noodles with her, and even held hands with her at the school anniversary recitation performance...
He Xilou asked absentmindedly, "Last week, a friend of mine saw you two buying milk tea."
He added slowly, "He also said you two looked like a young couple."
"Of course we're not a couple," Meng Shiyi explained quietly, "because I helped him organize the class forms, and he treated me to milk tea as a thank you."
"Really? You're going to go so far to drink?" He Xilou's voice was light, as if he was just chatting.
“I’m here to do social practice.”
He Xilou asked again: "What social practice?"
“…”
Why does this person keep asking questions? !
Meng Shiyi patiently said in a gentle voice, "It's a practical activity at the orphanage."
He Xilou thought for a few seconds.
The orphanage was located in a relatively remote area, and the route back happened to pass by the milk tea shop.
He Xilou narrowed his eyes slightly, keenly grasping the key point, still holding her wrist, and asked slowly:
"Are you going to do social practice with him?"
"It was just a coincidence that we met," Meng Shiyi shook her head obediently and said good-temperedly, "Are you annoying..."
He took away the book she wanted to buy and held her wrist to prevent her from leaving. That would have been fine, but why did he keep asking so many questions?
He Xilou's brows slowly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
"I'm just concerned about our little sister Shi Yi's relationship status. I'm worried that you might be kidnapped by bad guys."
Meng Shiyi lowered her head and muttered softly, "You look like the bad guy to me."
He Xilou chuckled, leaned closer, and cast a frank, honest gaze on her face, like a wolf coveting a little white rabbit, with a meaningful look:
"That--"
"Are you willing to be kidnapped by me?"
He Xilou leaned over little by little, staring at her with his eyes lowered, a dark and thick color rolling in his eyes.
As if it could swallow her whole.
When He Xilou spoke, he was always frivolous, casual and uninhibited, as if he was half joking.
But his voice is particularly ambiguous and lingering, as if it contains small hooks that make people feel itchy.
Meng Shiyi bit her lip, feeling a little breathless.
Behind her was a cold wall, and in front of her was He Xilou's body.
It was as if the air around her had become thinner, and even her thinking speed suddenly slowed down, her mind was in a mess.
What does it mean to be kidnapped by him?
Meng Shiyi took a small step back.
He Xiluo approached, his tall figure almost completely blocking her view, giving her a sense of oppression.
Meng Shiyi held her breath instantly, a barely perceptible mist formed in her eyes, and she did not answer his question.
She wanted to run away, but the man pressed her closer.
Meng Shiyi softly complained: "What are you doing..."
He Xilou raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes narrow and dark, revealing a nonchalant smile:
"Kidnap the little rabbit."
Turn into a quiet and deserted alley.
Meng Shiyi's body was tense, and she felt the heat on her shoulders spreading straight into her heart.
She bit her lip helplessly: "You...why are you holding me down?"
He Xilou raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'm afraid you'll run away."
He looked like a big bad wolf, as if he would eat her alive in the next second.
“…”
It seems like she didn't either. She ran away as soon as she saw him, right?
He Xilou's gaze fell on her empty wrist, and he spoke slowly:
"I didn't have time to ask you just now, why aren't you wearing the bracelet I gave you?"
Meng Shiyi was wearing a beige knitted sweater with a V-neck today, revealing her beautiful white collarbone and creamy skin, which made her look quiet, gentle, pure and sexy.
When she heard the question, she hesitated for a few seconds and didn't speak for a long time, as if she was struggling with her wording.
He Xilou stared at her quietly, his joints slightly tightening.
During the last school anniversary performance, we had to wear a formal dress, so it was normal not to wear a bracelet.
But if I don't wear it today, then it can only be—
"dislike?"
Meng Shiyi shook her head seriously: "I like it. I'm just afraid of losing it. I've worn many bracelets before, and they either broke or I couldn't find them."
He Xilou: "If you lose it, I'll give you ten more. What are you afraid of?"
“…” Meng Shiyi slowly widened her eyes and was speechless for a moment.
Ten skewers?!
Considering He Xilou's lavish spending, it must be over a million.
Meng Shiyi shook her head obediently and said, "I'll wear it next time."
He Xilou's brows relaxed, his expression lazy, and his mood was much better than before in the noodle shop.
He stuffed the book into Meng Shiyi's arms and gave her a small cream cake.
It's her favorite blueberry flavor.
Meng Shiyi's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at the book in her arms in a daze for a moment.
Now she understood, no matter how stupid she was, that He Xilou had just taken the book away from the bookstore just to play a trick on her.
"you!"
Before she could react.
He Xilou had already reached out to her and patted her head gently, "Let's go, good night."
"……good evening."
He Xilou seemed very busy and had no intention of returning to school. He walked in the opposite direction and gradually blended into the dim night.
His back was tall and straight, his shoulders broad, and he exuded a strong sense of security. His gait was still casual and unrestrained.
Meng Shiyi stayed where she was, quietly watching his back gradually go away, quietly watching him gradually disappear from her sight.
Just like every time before, she watched him leave quietly with her own eyes.
He Xilou, on the other hand, was indifferent and casual, and seemed to have no interest in anything.
He never really cared about others, never lingered on things, never turned around to take a second look.
But it just happened, at this moment, at this second.
He Xilou turned around as if he sensed something.
Those deep and silent eyes looked at her quietly, with an indescribable feeling that fermented quietly in the air, unpredictable.
The warm yellow light from the street lamps fell on the man, like a soft and beautiful filter, outlining his sharp features and stretching his shadow very long.
It was too far away to see his expression clearly.
Meng Shiyi's breathing stagnated, her heartbeat suddenly became disordered, and it was as if a small cluster of bright and colorful sparks exploded in her chest, spreading to every cell.
She immediately lowered her head, turned around, and walked quickly into the school gate, hiding the small excitement in her heart...
When she returned to the dormitory, a new roommate had already moved in.
The girl was wearing an expensive black dress, had chestnut curly hair, and had delicate and beautiful makeup on her face. She was sorting various brand-name bags.
Xu Qingqing, who was standing by, had a bad look on her face, as if she was very angry. She went to the balcony to wash clothes with a cold face.
Usually, the dormitory has a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere, like a warm and comfortable nest, and everyone chirps like birds.
Now the air pressure in the dormitory is very low, as if it is covered by dark clouds.
There was no sound at all, it was eerily quiet.
Meng Shiyi was a little worried about Xu Qingqing, so she asked Sheng Wan on WeChat:
【What happened to Qingqing today? 】
Xu Qingqing was admitted from Northeast China. She is cheerful and generous, straightforward, and has a good interpersonal relationship. She likes making friends in a lively environment.
She had already thought about what gift to give her new roommate before he moved in.
Sheng Wan typed a reply to her, explaining the whole story clearly:
Xu Qingqing gave her new roommate Qi Yuexin some local specialties from her hometown. Later, when she went out to get some hot water, she overheard Qi Yuexin talking on the phone:
"Let me tell you, there's a girl from the Northeast countryside in my dorm. She looks so rustic. The local specialties she gave me looked so cheap that I just threw them away."
Xu Qingqing was a strong-willed person, so she didn't hesitate and rushed over to question him:
"What do you mean? What's wrong with rural people? Who are you scolding?!"
Qi Yuexin hung up the phone, shrugged indifferently, and smiled sweetly:
"I'm sorry, I was just stating the facts. If this has really dampened your confidence, then it's definitely my fault."
Xu Qingqing is usually carefree and heartless with a hot temper, but when she heard those hurtful words, her eyes instantly turned red and she couldn't utter a word.
The specialty she gave was pastries. The outer packaging was a very festive and exaggerated bright red. It did not look beautiful or delicate, but the pastries were really delicious and very clean and hygienic.
Even if you really don't like it, there's no need to insult people like this!
At first she was worried that her new roommate wouldn't be able to fit in, so she brought an extra box with her, hoping to build a good relationship with him. She didn't expect this to be the outcome.
Sheng Wan: [Sigh, I didn't expect there to be conflicts right after moving in... We were originally planning on the four of us going out for hotpot and gossiping.]
Xu Qingqing came back from washing clothes, lying on the table in a listless state.
Meng Shiyi comforted her on WeChat: [Qingqing~ Next time, please bring me an extra portion of the pastries. Others don’t want them, but I love them so much!]
He also posted an emoticon of a little rabbit patting his head.
Xu Qingqing secretly rubbed her eye sockets and quickly replied: [Wow, poetic baby, I need to pee my eyes [tears][crying loudly]]
Xu Qingqing: [I've already adjusted it. Some wild boars just can't handle fine bran. That's their loss! Humph!]
After all, he is someone you see every day, so just treat him as an ordinary roommate.
Not all roommates can become good friends.
For several days, there was less and less talking in the dormitory.
Qi Yuexin's closet is filled with brand-name bags and clothes, and she acts like a young lady.
As she was tidying up her things, an exquisite photo frame suddenly fell to the ground with a crisp sound, attracting everyone nearby to look over here.
Inside the frame was a picture of a man.
In the dim light, the man is leaning against the railing against the light, with a world of feasting and revelry behind him. It is a very atmospheric picture.
When Meng Shiyi glanced over, her pupils shrank and she recognized who it was at a glance.
Sheng Wan didn't recognize him and squinted her eyes: "Hiss... this person looks so familiar, who is he..."
Qi Yuexin immediately picked up the photo album and dusted it off.
She stared at the photo, not knowing what she was thinking about. She smiled sweetly, and even her voice became cheerful:
"It's Brother Xilou~"
