Chapter 2525 He Jingsui took her into his arms.
There is a hint of ambiguity in these words.
Chen Zan didn't react for a long time, thinking he was hallucinating.
The words were so intimate that her ears subconsciously blushed. With her eyelashes drooped, she didn't notice the silent smell of gunpowder between He Jingsui and Meng Gaoyuan.
The gaze from above was intense and fiery, making her scalp tingle and her heart itch. Chen Zan felt a sense of irrational urge within her, and she willingly stepped into Youhe Jingsui's vortex.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, she nodded, her heart pounding.
She accepted his invitation, "Okay."
He Jingsui raised his eyebrows slightly, and a lazy smile appeared at the corner of his lips. Meng Gaoyuan received his provocative gaze, and he knew that it was the smile of a winner.
…
"cheers!!!"
Four glasses clinked together crisply, the drinks filled in them spilled slightly, and the swaying reflections were reflected in the dim light of the night.
Jiang Qiannan raised his cup and shouted, "Let's cheer loudly for the complete success of the basketball game!!!"
On the second-floor terrace, Jiang Qiannan stood up from a small wooden chair, holding a glass of wine and shouting at the other three people, "Hurry up, why are you still standing there..."
This is He Jingsui's home, a small villa in the western suburbs of Beijing North City. It is a two-story duplex villa with a large space.
Today is the weekend, and the school does not have any strict requirements on whether students should be on campus. In addition, the basketball game ended smoothly. Although the final victory still belonged to the Sports University, Jiang Qiannan felt that this year's first place was hard-won, and suggested to them that they should celebrate properly.
He Shiyi suggested that they choose He Jingsui's house as the place for celebration. Firstly, the place is big and they can have fun. Secondly, if they have a lot of fun, they can fall asleep directly without worrying about sleeping on the streets.
Jiang Qiannan agreed with He Shiyi's idea and asked He Jingsui for his opinion.
This guy had no objection at all. He was in a good mood having just won the game. He tilted his head back to drink water and said, "Whatever you want."
He Shiyi applauded and cheered, saying to them, "Then let's call Zhanzhan and go shopping!"
He Jing paused with his hand holding the bottle, then turned his head to look at He Shiyi, deep in thought.
He was wondering if this was a bad idea. It wasn't that he thought Chen Zan was a bad person because she was an outsider, but he felt that she might feel restrained.
As soon as he came over, he saw Meng Gaoyuan in front of Chen Zan.
The bright and cheerful smile on his face made He Jingsui subconsciously "tsk" softly, and the stuffy feeling in his chest surged up inch by inch.
What a scabby guy.
He Jing then saw Chen Zan take a small step back from a considerable distance, but Meng Gaoyuan did not let her go.
He couldn't bear it any longer, so he walked over. When he saw Chen Zan's beautiful face, his dark pupils dilated slightly, as if something was burning in his heart.
Then he could not remember anything he had thought about her.
He provoked Meng Gaoyuan and took the initiative to invite her to his house.
Chen Zan was indeed very restrained. It was her first time to He Jingsui's house. She was so cautious that she almost couldn't walk. Fortunately, He Shiyi was by her side, chattering away.
He Jingsui's house is really big, with simple European-style decoration, low-key and elegant. But he lives alone in this house, and there are few things in the house, so it feels a bit deserted.
A spiral retro staircase connected to the second floor, and the four of them chose the open-air terrace on the second floor as the place for their celebration.
Large and small bags of snacks and drinks were spread out on the table. The evening breeze lifted the curtains and swayed them. We waited for the moment when the sunset faded away in the sky and night fell.
"Do you even understand what a sense of ritual is?"
Jiang Qiannan held up his cup and waited for a long time without anyone taking up the conversation. He couldn't help but urge, "Hurry up, stop dawdling..."
Then, he gently kicked the chair of the person next to him and said, "He Jingsui, I'm talking to you."
He Jing then shook the glass in his hand, causing the wine inside to sway with it. His fingers were stained with a cold, wet mist, which was clearly visible under the light.
After taking a lazily sip, he turned his head to look at Jiang Qiannan beside him, without moving.
That look seemed to be intentional, spoiling Jiang Qiannan's mood.
Jiang Qiannan curled his lips speechlessly, then changed to another person, shouting with a playful smile, "Sister Shiyi, let's..."
"Don't--"
He Shiyi interrupted him, "I'm not from the same university as you guys. If you want to celebrate, do it yourselves. I'm just here to eat and drink for free."
“…”
What a fuck.
Jiang Qiannan was embarrassed, and He Jingsui beside him laughed inappropriately, which made him lose face.
There was no other way, so he finally walked to Chen Zhan's side, and spoke cautiously, afraid that she would refuse, "Chen Zhan, please give me some face and help me..."
He is so pitiful.
Chen Zhan couldn't bear to hurt him any more, so he clinked his drink with him and congratulated him with a smile, "Congratulations."
She was the one who gave him the most face. The embarrassment in Jiang Qiannan's heart quickly disappeared, and he said thank you to her with a curved lip.
He tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then returned to his seat contentedly.
"Look at you," He Shiyi teased him while eating potato chips, "Jiang Qiannan, your smile is so worthless."
"Why, I'm happy to do it, what's it to you?"
He Shiyi rolled his eyes speechlessly at him, then turned around to chat with Chen Zan.
"By the way, Zhanzhan, I have a question for you."
Chen Zan was also eating potato chips. When she heard He Shiyi's voice, she turned her head. The dim light from the terrace illuminated her clean and fair face, adding a touch of softness.
"What?"
"The basketball game just ended. Who's that boy standing in front of you?" She was very curious. "He looks quite handsome."
Chen Zan didn't expect her to mention this and paused when he heard it.
His wandering eyes subconsciously searched for He Jingsui's figure. From the corner of his eye, he vaguely caught a glimpse of him leaning lazily on the chair, his long legs spread out wide, and the wine glass that he had drunk stood on the table in front of him.
He rested his elbows leisurely on the armrests of the chair, browsing on his cell phone.
Didn't pay any attention to this side.
Retracting his peripheral vision, Chen Zhan answered He Shiyi's question, "A student from the Sports University."
"Wow." He Shiyi was surprised, his eyes sparkling under the light. He held his face and guessed, "Is he not in love with you and wants to pursue you?"
"No, it's not." Chen Zhan said to her, "Don't guess randomly."
"I'm not just guessing. I really think he might be interested in you. Otherwise, why would he..."
"He Shiyi."
He Jingsui's lazy voice interrupted her.
He Shiyi turned his head to look at the person next to him, "What?"
"Pass me the Coke."
"You and Jiang Qiannan are going to drink, what's the point of snatching my Coke?" He Shiyi said in a very protective tone.
He Jingsui slowly raised his eyelids and looked at her, "Did you buy this Coke?"
“…”
He Shiyi instantly extinguished his resistance. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still said, "Okay, you bought it."
She obediently handed a large bottle of Coke to her dear brother.
Then she turned her head back and continued to gossip with Chen Zan out of curiosity, but she had just opened her mouth and hadn't said a word when He Jingsui called her again.
Is this ever going to end? Do I have to interrupt her when she is gossiping?
Although He Shiyi was reluctant, she asked again in a nice tone, because it was her fault that she was so reluctant to give.
"What's the matter, my dear brother?"
He Jingsui lazily raised his chin towards Coke and ordered her like a young master, "Pour it for me."
“…”
He Shiyi was speechless, muttering as he fell, "I don't have any hands!"
He Jing then laughed, a short breath coming out of his nose, like he was teasing someone, and said, "No hands."
“…”
OK.
He is awesome.
He Shiyi poured him a full glass of Coke.
Just as it was full, the light above my head went out with a snap.
The fire around the villa was also extinguished.
“…”
The surroundings fell into darkness.
"Fuck, there's a power outage?" Jiang Qiannan was a little surprised.
"Damn, I'm afraid of the dark..." He Shiyi was a little confused.
"The circuit breaker tripped."
He Jingsui was the only one who remained calm. He flicked on the flashlight on his phone, illuminating only a small area of space, and stood up. "I'm going to check the switch. You guys stay here."
The boy's figure was dim in the light.
In the light that had not yet faded away, Chen Zhan looked at He Shiyi, who was curled up with her knees huddled up beside her. She put down the potato chip bag in her hand and, like He Jingsui, turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone and held it in front of He Shiyi.
The light illuminated her furrowed brow.
She comforted her, "Shiyi, don't be afraid."
Jiang Qiannan knew that He Shiyi was afraid of the dark. As soon as He Jingsui left, he sat down in his seat and moved closer to her. "It's okay. Isn't my brother still here?"
He patted her shoulder gently and coaxed, "Brother will accompany you."
Jiang Qiannan's gentle coaxing and comfort temporarily eliminated He Shiyi's fear of the dark. The light from the mobile phone did not shine far away, only in the small space between them.
Seeing He Shiyi's fear relaxed, Chen Zhan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jiang Qiannan, "You keep an eye on her. I'm going to the bathroom first."
"Okay." Jiang Qiannan nodded at her.
It was dark, so Chen Zan used his cell phone as a flashlight and walked around the long table into the inner room.
The room was also pitch black. Chen Zhan only used his cell phone to illuminate the road ahead. The villa was so huge that it seemed empty. Without any lights on, it felt a bit scary like what He Shiyi had described.
The bathroom is downstairs.
Chen Zan groped her way down the stairs. After going to the bathroom, she opened the door with her cell phone.
Go back upstairs.
Sudden.
"Bang!"
Chen Zan was startled and his hands trembled.
The phone fell to the ground.
The screen is facing upwards and the light is pressed to the ground.
At the same time, a voice came unexpectedly, "Who's there?"
Recognizing the owner of the voice, Chen Zhan subconsciously turned her head in the direction of the voice. She replied with a trembling voice, "It's me..."
Immediately afterwards, a beam of weak light shone in her direction, so bright that Chen Zhan's eyelashes trembled.
She opened her eyes in the light, and then saw the tall and straight figure outside the light source.
He Jingsui was still standing in front of the main switch at the stairs checking the circuits. He noticed the movement, raised his cell phone and looked over here, squinting his eyes to see Chen Zan's frightened face.
He asked her, "Why are you here?"
Chen Zhan replied: "I went to the bathroom."
She squatted down and picked up the phone with the flashlight on. Her vision became much brighter and clearer. The two beams of light intertwined, and she could clearly see the steps between them.
The light and shadow flickered.
Chen Zan looked up at him. He Jingsui was holding a mobile phone in one hand and a tool in the other to check the power supply line.
His movements seemed a bit laborious, probably because it was difficult to operate with one hand.
So she walked up and said, "Let me help you..."
When she got to He Jingsui, she took the phone from his hand and used two phones to illuminate him.
With sufficient light, the complex wires in sight become clear and movement becomes much easier.
He Jing turned his head to look at her and said thank you to her.
After tinkering with it for a while, He Jingsui discovered that the main circuit breaker in the distribution box was loose and the wiring terminals were black, causing insufficient power supply.
This can't be repaired, I can only wait until tomorrow to call a repairman.
After finishing everything, He Jing closed the small door of the power switch with a "click".
Chen Zhan returned his phone to him. When he took it, his fingers accidentally brushed against the skin of her palm, which was cool, yet inexplicably warm.
This caused ripples in Chen Zan's heart.
She was a little absent-minded when she went downstairs.
She didn't step firmly on the stairs, her footing gave way, and she was about to slip. Her slender figure stumbled, her eyes wide with fear.
At the critical moment, an arm reached out, wrapped around her waist like a strong vine, and pulled her back with force.
Chen Zhan felt like she was being pulled back in. She was still holding her phone, and the light and shadows were swaying in a chaotic manner.
Until her back touched the warm chest, and the breath of He Jingsui rushed towards her.
Intense and impossible to ignore.
At the moment when time stood still, He Jingsui embraced her in his arms.
Boom boom boom.
She seemed to hear the sound of a heartbeat.
It's hers.
It seems to be his too.
