Chapter 21 21 "Classmate Chen Zan, you finally decided to contact me? ...
Chen Zan shook his head, answering almost every question he asked. The two little red clouds on his cheeks grew darker and darker, ripening like cherry tomatoes. "It's not that I want to be mean. We're drinking to celebrate the successful holding of the art exhibition..."
As she spoke, her body slid down uncontrollably again.
He Jingsui put his hands on her shoulders to steady her, his eyelids drooping slightly, his gaze fixed on her rosy cheeks. His voice was low and gentle, like sand grinding against gravel, "Stand still."
Chen Zan nodded woodenly, then did as she was told. The small round lamp at the top of the corridor was not bright, and she was drunk, so her vision was a little blurry. She lowered her head and stared at the corner of He Jingsui's clothes, then raised her hand to grab it, as if she was grabbing a bird that had temporarily perched beside her.
He Jingsui was reaching for his phone in his pocket when he noticed someone had grabbed the corner of his shirt. He chuckled softly and let her go. He held her shoulder with one hand while swiping his phone with the other to call Jiang Qiannan.
The phone rang twice before being answered. "Hello? What are you calling for? I didn't bring toilet paper..."
Ignoring Jiang Qiannan's teasing, he ordered, "Come to the corridor."
Jiang Qiannan was confused on the other end of the phone. "Why are you in the hallway?"
He Jingsui looked at the completely drunk girl in front of him. Her face was half lowered, her cheeks were rosy, and her eyelashes looked particularly long. Her indifferent appearance was like a small stone that hit the calm lake of his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Catch him."
Jiang Qiannan still didn't understand what was going on. He rushed to the corridor for no apparent reason. Seeing He Jingsui holding a girl against the wall, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Fuck He Jingsui, you pervert! Not only did you molest women, you even wanted to broadcast it live to me!"
“…”
He Jingsui was speechless. His half-lidded eyes were filled with endless disdain. He said coldly, "You haven't wiped the dirty water out of your head yet? Look carefully at who this is."
Jiang Qiannan half-shifted his gaze and took a closer look at the girl who was being pressed against the wall by He Jingsui. With the help of the girl's profile, he squinted his eyes and vaguely made out her face. "Chen Zan?"
Seeing her rosy cheeks and her not-quite-sober drunken state, Jiang Qiannan finally understood the situation, "No..."
He asked He Jingsui, "Why did she drink so much?"
He Jingsui lazily explained, "I had a school club party and drank too much."
"Oh..." Jiang Qiannan suddenly realized, but it seemed that he had nothing to do here. He Jingsui could handle it alone, so he became a hands-off boss. "But she is alone and so small, so she doesn't need me, right? Ah Sui, you can handle it by yourself."
"Who told you she was the only one?"
Jiang Qiannan: “?”
He Jingsui said, "There is another He Shiyi, in the box."
He raised his chin and ordered him, "Go get that person out."
He Shiyi was finally carried out by Jiang Qiannan. He hung her on his shoulders, carefully holding her waist with his hands, and walked out of the box.
The girl on his shoulder stammered drunkenly, "Let me go back, Jiang Qiannan, you big bad guy..."
Jiang Qiannan's face darkened as he gently lifted her onto his shoulder and lectured her fiercely, "Who allowed you to drink so much, He Shiyi? Do you know that girls shouldn't drink too much outside?"
"What do you care..." He Shiyi grumbled twice, his voice unclear, "Jiang Qiannan, you big bad guy..."
Jiang Qiannan slapped her butt angrily, his emotion written all over his face, but his palm didn't exert much force. "I'll settle the score with you when you sober up."
"That's enough—" He Jingsui said lazily, "Stop flirting with your sister."
"Send them back first."
As he spoke, He Jingsui grabbed Chen Zhan's wrist and was about to pull her away. However, he had just taken a step when the girl behind him stumbled and almost fell to the ground again.
Fortunately, He Jingsui reacted quickly, turned around and held her shoulders, shifting her center of gravity towards him, and Chen Zan almost fell into his arms.
He bent his knees and helped Chen Zhan up little by little as she was about to fall. He held her two slender arms in his hands and said to her in a low and gentle voice, "Chen Zhan, stand up straight."
Chen Zhan shook his head, frowning, as if he had been bullied and aggrieved, "I can't stand steadily, my knees hurt."
He Jing then lowered his head to look at her knees, and then he vaguely discovered that her knees seemed to be injured, probably from the fall just now.
He frowned and let out a light sigh.
It's really troublesome to serve a drunkard.
The one on Jiang Qiannan was also restless, making a fuss and calling him a bad guy. He was already annoyed, and when he saw He Jingsui dithering again, he became even more annoyed, "Why are you still dithering? Just carry him on your shoulders and take him away."
He Jingsui looked at him and He Shiyi on his shoulder, slightly lowered his eyelids, and asked him with a somewhat ridiculous tone, "Like you?"
"What's wrong with me doing this?" Jiang Qiannan didn't think there was anything wrong with carrying He Shiyi on his shoulders. He even thought, "It saves time and effort. No matter how noisy she is, it won't stop me from taking her away."
Unexpectedly, He Jingsui sneered and replied with two words, "Rude."
“…”
Then Jiang Qiannan watched helplessly as the guy squatted down on one knee with his back to the wobbly girl who said, "I can't stand anymore, my knee hurts."
His head tilted back, and the dim light outlined the sharp contours of his cheeks.
The voice was clear and deep, "Chen Zan, come up."
Chen Zhan nodded woodenly a little late, then obediently climbed onto He Jingsui's back. She rested her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck. He smelled so good.
He sniffed it like a kitten, then reluctantly let the scent dissipate from his nose.
The gentle breath was filled with warmth, and it scraped against the sensitive neck. He Jingsui paused with his arms around her knees. He was very stiff, and his Adam's apple rolled heavily.
He felt the itch coming from his neck seeping into his skin, through his internal organs, and shaking his heart.
…
It was already the next morning when Chen Zan woke up. The aftereffects of being drunk were obvious. Chen Zan had an unbearable headache and sat up by supporting himself on the bed with his arms.
Her mind was in a mess. She frowned and rubbed her temples, then realized that she was in the dormitory, on her own bed.
But last night, she and He Shiyi went out for team building and drank a little. The memories in her head were cut into countless small fragments, and the pictures flashed by frame by frame.
Bright lights, wine, and laughter.
He Shiyi was drunk. Qin Yuyao made her drink two more glasses of wine, and she was also dizzy and drunk.
The flashing images kept repeating in her mind, and in those fragments, she seemed to see He Jingsui.
He threw off the quilt and got out of bed, which caused a sharp pain in his knee. Chen Zhan then realized that his knee was scraped and a little red and swollen, probably because of an injury.
I endured the pain and got out of bed, and went to get the cup of water on the table. Next to the cup was a plastic bag containing a box of pain-relieving spray.
She had just picked it up and taken a look when the dormitory door was opened from the outside.
The ones who came in were Ji Miaomiao and Tao Yiran.
Seeing that she was awake, the two were surprised and walked quickly to her side, "Zhanzhan, you're awake?"
Tao Yiran was concerned about her. "They say that you'll have a headache after a hangover. How do you feel? Does your head hurt?"
"A little bit," Chen Zhan pressed his solar plexus with his fingers and said nonchalantly, "I'll be fine after a while."
The two sisters went out to buy breakfast. Today was Saturday, so the cafeteria wasn't very crowded. Ji Miaomiao also brought breakfast for her and He Shiyi. She placed the food on the table, still steaming hot. She then went to get some hot water for Chen Zan and said to her, "Have a drink first."
Chen Zhan took it and said, "Thank you."
The warm water moistened his parched lips and relieved his dry throat. After drinking a little, Chen Zan placed the cup on the table and looked at the two people standing in front of him. He suddenly asked them, "Where's Shi Yi?"
Ji Miaomiao patted the bed behind him and said with a smile, "He's still sleeping."
Chen Zhan felt relieved and just breathed a sigh of relief when Tao Yiran impatiently handed him breakfast. "Eat breakfast first. It's your favorite. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"...Oh." Her tone was indeed a little strange, but looking at her smiling face, Chen Zan didn't know what was strange about it. She took it, said thank you again, and then slowly began to eat.
But as she was eating, she felt something was wrong. When she raised her eyes, she met two ambiguous gazes.
“…”
Those two gazes made Chen Zhan feel uncomfortable. With food still in her mouth, she asked them vaguely, "What are you...doing?"
It often only takes a tiny spark to bring up a topic, and Chen Zan's self-entrapment allowed Tao Yiran and Ji Miaomiao to seize the opportunity instantly.
The two men laughed maliciously and approached her.
Ji Miaomiao touched her arm and said something vaguely, "Who were you drinking with last night?"
"I'm from the Painting Club." Chen Zhan asked, "What's wrong?"
Tao Yiran then asked, "Just the painting club?"
Chen Zan nodded.
"Then how did you hook up with He Jingsui?" Ji Miaomiao couldn't help herself, and her tone of voice was particularly ambiguous and affectionate, "I carried you back last night."
In one sentence, those blurry images were broken open, and the hastily pieced-together memories popped into my head uncontrollably.
——"Drinking?"
--"Um."
——"Why are you drinking? Did you break up with your boyfriend?"
——"I told you I don't have a boyfriend." (punches him)
——"Chen Zan, stand still."
——"I can't stand steadily. My knees hurt."
——"Chen Zan, come up."
—Climb onto his back.
“…”
Chen Zan stood frozen in place as if petrified, her thundering heartbeat like a gigantic tsunami overwhelming her, wrapping her limbs tightly around her.
She even remembered lying on his back, sniffing his scent restlessly.
It is said that after getting drunk, people's behavior is difficult to be controlled by the brain.
She was drunk and out of control, but she was too out of control.
Her fingers clenched subconsciously, and she felt a little embarrassed and shy. The little red cloud that faded last night reappeared on her cheeks like an exploded tomato.
Chen Zan lowered his eyes in panic and wandered around restlessly.
Ji Miaomiao caught her subtle shy gesture and smiled at her meaningfully, "Are you shy already?"
"I know you're embarrassed, but you slept so soundly on He Jingsui's shoulder yesterday, and He Jingsui wanted to put you down, but you refused."
“…”
"Ranran and I both saw it..." Ji Miaomiao said, pulling Tao Yiran beside her to fan the flames, "Ranran, right?"
Tao Yiran's crisp "Hmm!" made Chen Zan purse his lips in embarrassment, feeling that he was too embarrassed to face anyone.
She raised her hands to cover her burning face and interrupted them embarrassedly, "Stop talking..."
I really feel ashamed to face people. I met him drunk and did so many unreasonable things to him. How can I face him in the future...
It makes me feel bad just thinking about it.
She vowed never to drink again TVT
"But He Jingsui is quite nice to you."
Ji Miaomiao's voice came to her ears again. She put down her hands and revealed her face. She looked up at her and heard her say, "He said your knee was injured. He went to a nearby pharmacy to buy you some medicine before leaving. Not only that, he asked me and Ranran to remind you not to forget to apply medicine to your injured knee."
Raising her chin towards the plastic bag on the desk behind her, Ji Miaomiao said, "Here, I put the medicine on the table for you."
It turned out that he bought it.
My heart is surging with excitement, like waves crashing against the shore, or like reefs sinking into the sea.
Chen Zan's eyelashes trembled as he couldn't control his throbbing emotions.
"I didn't expect He Jingsui to be so considerate," Tao Yiran sighed and asked Ji Miaomiao, "Hey, do you think he has a crush on our Zhanzhan?"
Ji Miaomiao held her chin in her hand and thought for a long time. She nodded slowly and winked at Tao Yiran, "It's possible——"
After getting the confirmation from his sister, Tao Yiran could hardly suppress the uncontrollable curl of his mouth, and even teased her: "Wow, Zhanzhan, you are so happy."
“…”
The words were getting more and more outrageous. Chen Zhan was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it. He corrected her sheepishly, "What are you talking about? It's not true!"
How could He Jingsui possibly fall for her?
She wasn't his type.
"Of course not, I think this is very likely," Ji Miaomiao analyzed, touching his chin, "If He Jingsui really likes you, this is called - a prodigal son returning!"
"I agree!" Tao Yiran immediately imagined a novel of hundreds of thousands of words about the Prodigal Son, clapping his hands with a crazy face, "How romantic——"
“…”
"I used to think that a man as handsome as He Jingsui, who was rebellious and dissolute, was untouchable. Now I think it's good to have a prodigal son who returns." Tao Yiran looked at Chen Zhan and said seriously, "Zhan Zhan, I take back what I said before about you staying away from him. If he is really interested in you, then just accept him as your prodigal son!"
“…”
How could she dare to do that? Even if she had a hundred and twenty guts, she wouldn't dare.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to tell them he probably wouldn't have that chance, on the other bed, He Shiyi whimpered awake, her sleepy voice tinged with a hint of discontent, "What are you doing—so noisy..."
Immediately afterwards, a slender hand reached out from behind the bed curtain, waved weakly twice, and then retracted.
It seemed to be accusing them of making noise.
She will continue to sleep.
From last night until now, Ji Miaomiao and Tao Yiran had been suppressing their curiosity and desire to gossip. Now that they saw that the person had woken up, how could they let go of the opportunity?
So the two of them scurried to He Shiyi's bed, opened her curtains and woke her up.
"Wake up, don't sleep anymore. You're still sleeping when the sun is shining on your butt." Ji Miaomiao acted as He Shiyi's alarm clock in a voice that was not gentle at all.
She drank a lot of wine last night, and now her mouth was dry and her head was splitting. She grabbed the quilt and covered her head, saying lazily, "Let me sleep a little longer."
"Don't sleep anymore, Shiyi. Get up quickly. Ermiao and I have some questions to ask you." Tao Yiran was not as direct as Ji Miaomiao. He coaxed her in a gentle voice.
He Shiyi couldn't sleep anymore, so he pulled back the quilt and exposed his head. He tilted his head to one side, and his unclear eyes met Tao Yiran's curious eyes. He opened his dry lips and said, "What are you asking——"
Tao Yiran's thoughts were all exposed in his eyes. His two dark eyeballs rolled around. He asked, "Who was that handsome guy who brought you back like a princess last night?"
What the hell?
Princess hug?
handsome guy?
At the same time, the person who was closely related to princess hugs and handsome guys popped up in my mind.
He Shiyi was shocked.
Jiang Qiannan?
Well... he's quite a handsome guy.
But she remembered something else.
For example, how Jiang Qiannan pushed the door open and walked in front of her, how he carried her on his shoulders and took her away in public, or how she kept pestering him and calling him a bad guy.
Eh——
The scene was so beautiful that He Shiyi couldn't imagine it.
But there were more than just a few beautiful scenes. She seemed to vaguely remember that after Jiang Qiannan carried her out of the box, she was whining and cursing at him, and then he slapped her on the butt.
“…”
Chastity is hard to maintain, and I feel like cursing my mother.
Tao Yiran beside the bed was still waiting for her answer. He Shiyi met her extremely expectant eyes, turned his eyes away, and wanted to cry but had no tears.
She covered her head with the quilt again to hide her embarrassment and awkwardness.
The voice was muffled as if covered by a layer of plastic film, and it was full of sorrow. "I am too embarrassed to face people—"
The pain-relieving spray He Jingsui had bought was very effective. After just three days, Chen Zan noticed the effects, and her knee felt much better, no longer painful or uncomfortable. She put the rest of the spray in her medicine cabinet for safekeeping. She planned to be more careful in the future, making sure not to fall again, and to keep the bottle of pain-relieving spray for a long, long time.
She curled her lips, feeling the satisfaction of the moment filling her whole body. She couldn't help but recall what Tao Yiran and Ji Miaomiao said in her mind. Just thinking about it made her cheeks hot.
She put her hands on her cheeks and rubbed them twice embarrassedly.
The phone on the table suddenly dinged. Chen Zhan picked it up, opened it and found that it was a message from Lu Wei.
【Lu Wei: Junior, are you there? 】
【Chen Zhan: Yes.】
Lu Wei: Are you free this afternoon? Can you come to the painting club?
[Lu Wei: I'd like to ask you for help with something.]
Since he had no classes in the afternoon and had plenty of time, Chen Zhan agreed: [Chen Zhan: OK.]
After promising Lu Wei, Chen Zan ended the chat with him. After exiting the chat interface with him, Chen Zan did not leave WeChat. She flipped through the chat list boredly, and her eyes finally fixed on the Sunset Avenue avatar at the top.
It had been a long time since they last chatted. During this period, neither of them disturbed the other. Even three days ago, when she got drunk at the club's team-building event and he sent her back to school, they hadn't had a serious conversation.
Chen Zan felt it was a pity.
But a trace of guilt rose in her heart. She should say thank you to him.
Thank him for taking me back to school and thank him for buying me pain-relieving spray.
Action came faster than thinking, and when she reacted, she found that she had clicked into the chat box with him.
Courage is like a burning torch, burning more and more fiercely, making the whole heart beat wildly.
Action is not done halfway.
She clicked on the dialog box and typed with her fingers.
Finally, I sent it hesitantly.
【Chen Zhan: Are you there?】
She bit her lip and waited quietly, sitting on the bench with her feet together, holding her phone with great anticipation.
Until the phone vibrated in my hand.
A voice message from He Jingsui popped up in the chat interface.
She clicked it and put it close to her ear.
The young man's panting and laughing voice slowly played in her ears, "Student Chen Zhan, you finally decided to contact me?"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Zhe Mou: Classmate He Jingsui, why are you panting?
The inner thoughts of the four-member team in this chapter:
He Shiyi: Kill Jiang Qiannan! Touch my butt!
Jiang Qiannan: If you dare to drink, I will arrest you!
Chen Zhan: Oh, this is killing me. Blushing and shy.jpg
He Jingsui: Oh, it's going to kill me too.
