Chapter 23 23 Every word is sincere and genuine.
Chen Zan turned his head almost subconsciously and looked behind him.
The sunlight today was very soft, and the breeze rustled the leaves. Groups of students passed by Chen Zan. The sparse figures were like a slide show, flashing before her eyes frame by frame.
The soft light sways gently against the swaying green leaves.
Chen Zan saw He Jingsui at a glance through the gaps between the moving figures.
It's not her fault that her eyesight is so accurate, it's just that he is too eye-catching. Even though he is wearing the most ordinary white T-shirt and black pants, and is drowned in the bustling crowd, she can still catch his figure at a glance.
She was still in the posture of answering the phone, staring blankly at him as he walked from the shade of trees into the sunshine. The sound of her heartbeat became heavier as he walked towards her, and the lingering sound of palpitations wrapped around her.
Many people around noticed him, and their curious and admiring eyes fell on him until he came in front of them.
It has been a bit busy recently, and if he hadn't shown up, Chen Zan almost forgot to treat him to a meal.
Meeting his gaze, Chen Zhan saw the calm and composed smile in those dark eyes, which made her feel inexplicably guilty.
"Student Chen Zhan, are you free now?"
The call was not hung up. His voice passed through the electric current, slightly vibrating the palm of his hand, and mixed with the voice of the person in front of him, penetrated into his ears.
My heart was shocked.
Chen Zan came back to his senses in a daze and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Her long and soft eyelashes fluttered gently. Chen Zhan pursed his lips, feeling dizzy as if he had been hit by a pie in the sky. He nodded reluctantly.
"I'm free."
Lu Wei was originally standing with Chen Zan, but after this boy came, he seemed to feel that his presence was gradually shrinking.
He couldn't help but look him up and down with curiosity, but he never expected that the boy suddenly turned his head and caught his gaze.
The moment their eyes met, Lu Wei could clearly see the impatience and even disdain in his dark pupils. He was already shorter than him, and when he slightly lowered his eyelids, he could feel the silent contempt in his gaze, which made sweat break out on his forehead.
His heart skipped a beat, and Lu Wei looked away in panic and guilt.
Then, he heard him say to Chen Zan beside him: "Wouldn't you like to introduce yourself?"
It was clearly just a simple sentence, but Lu Wei could hear some subtle intimacy, that kind of familiarity with clear boundaries, which was not disgusting at all.
So Chen Zan enthusiastically introduced them to each other.
She first said to the boy, "This is Lu Wei, the president of our painting club. He was the organizer of the last exhibition."
Frightened by his look just now, Lu Wei's hair stood on end. He didn't dare to keep his eyes on him for a long time. He only raised his eyes briefly and glanced at his face roughly. Lu Wei curled up the corners of his mouth in a slightly stiff smile and said hello to him with a smile.
He Jingsui didn't let Chen Zan introduce him. He extended his hand to him calmly and confidently, "He Jingsui, I'm a shooter from the Sports University next door."
The hand he extended suddenly appeared in his eyes. Lu Wei paused stiffly and looked up in the direction of the hand.
He Jingsui's face is delicate and strong, with distinct bones and a pair of dark and deep eyes under his thin eyelids.
He has a very strong aura that cannot be ignored.
Lu Wei slowly reached out his hand to shake his, repeating "Hello, hello" twice.
He Jing curled the corners of his lips and generously praised the last art exhibition in front of him, "The last exhibition was very well organized, but it's a pity that I only saw half of it."
"There should be another chance in the future." Lu Wei's smile was a little dry, but he still invited him, "You are welcome to visit our school."
The two let go.
He Jingsui chuckled, "Thank you."
Lu Wei was completely led by him and shook his head and said "You're welcome".
He felt that there was something wrong with He Jingsui's aura, like a dense dark cloud tightly wrapped around him, making it impossible for him to breathe. After a polite greeting with him, Lu Wei made an excuse to leave.
He walked so fast that he soon disappeared from sight.
This looked a little embarrassing in He Jingsui's eyes. With a light sneer, he retracted his gaze and looked at Chen Zan in front of him.
The girl had a pretty face, almond eyes, rosy cheeks, bright eyes and white teeth. The gentle wind blew the hair around her ears. It was hard to describe the feeling at that moment.
He Jingsui only felt as if a gust of spring breeze was poured into his dry chest.
I feel itchy and can't be scratched.
Taking his eyes away from her face, He Jing rolled his Adam's apple and mentioned what had just happened without any concern, "Your president seems to be very afraid of me."
Chen Zhan didn't feel that way. She had just been completely absorbed in him. She blinked and asked him, "Really?"
He Jingsui just thought she was cute and didn't care whether she was pregnant or not.
There was a hint of indulgence in the curve of his lips. He didn't give Chen Zhan an answer, but asked her, "Where do you want to eat?"
She was the one who was treating, but the words sounded like a complete reversal. She was going to give him the choice. "Where do you want to go?"
The two went to the food street outside the Academy of Fine Arts.
It was almost dusk, and lights were turned on on the roadside, illuminating the bustling streets. Chen Zan and He Jing then walked through the bustling crowd, crushing the glittering lights on the ground.
She followed him and saw the boy's broad shoulders.
At night, the food street is bustling with people, and it is so lively that you can't see the end of the crowd. There are small lights hanging in the air above heads, like stars.
He walked faster than her, and in order to keep up, Chen Zhan had a hard time catching up. There were people all around, so she moved sideways to get by, trying to keep pace with him. He was tall and in front of her.
"Excuse me..."
She kept asking passers-by who were rubbing shoulders with her to make way for her, and her slender body leaned forward like a needle in a haystack to catch up with the shadow in front of her.
But the next second, someone grabbed her hand in the crowd.
Pulling forward, she leaned forward, closer to his side. Her nose bumped against his arm, and through the fabric, she could smell his dry scent, like green grass scorched by the summer sun.
Almost with a "whoosh", she jumped away and broke free from his hand that was holding her wrist.
"sorry."
The warmth of his palms lingered on her skin.
A faint blush quietly appeared on Chen Zan's cheeks, illuminated by the light.
But it feels cramped.
He Jingsui glanced at her with a smile in the corner of his eyes. He pulled her wrist again, and the moment his big palm wrapped around her, Chen Zan raised her eyes and saw the smile in his eyes.
"Don't apologize yet,"
He said.
"Come with me."
There is a hot pot restaurant nearby with a very good reputation. There are two red lanterns hanging in front of the door, with candles burning inside, illuminating the stone steps in front of the door.
They sat down inside and ordered some food. Amidst the bustling noise, Chen Zan and He Jingsui sat facing each other quietly.
No one broke the atmosphere first.
Until the waiter brought the hot pot, there was also fire on the table where we were sitting, and a pot of hot and spicy soup was placed on it, bubbling.
The food was boiling in the pot.
He Jingsui didn't eat much, which made Chen Zan very worried whether he would enjoy the meal. Her mind was completely on him while eating, and she looked at him almost every two seconds.
Right under his nose.
He Jing then looked towards her, accurately catching her gaze.
The pair of dark eyes were illuminated by the light, making them clear and distinct, and a little dull and round.
"Not eating anymore?" he asked her.
Chen Zhan had almost finished her meal, her stomach slightly full, and she tacitly agreed to the question. She then thanked him again for taking her back to school that day.
"Thank you for what happened last time."
He Jingsui leaned lazily against the chair, a smile on his lips, "You're welcome."
He wasn't very full, but he felt extremely satisfied. He said to Chen Zan, "If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me."
"Just...don't drink anymore."
The word "drinking" reminded Chen Zan of the "unreasonable behavior" that night. She blushed in embarrassment and lowered her eyes like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to look at He Jingsui again.
He chuckled softly from the other side, and then he said slowly and quietly, "I don't blame you, it's just that it's not safe for girls to be outside late at night. You have to know how to protect yourself."
Just a simple word of concern made Chen Zan's heart soften suddenly. The moment he raised his eyes to look at him, the light in his eyes flickered and he smiled and said okay.
"Have you finished eating?"
Chen Zan nodded.
He Jingsui was about to stand up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back..."
"actually……"
Chen Zhan was the first to interrupt, "I have another question for you."
He Jingsui paused and looked at her, "You say."
The girl's cheeks were still pink. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "I haven't had time to ask you, but you suddenly left at the last art exhibition. What happened?"
I've always wanted to ask him this question.
Chen Zan cared about it for a long time.
This question came unexpectedly, and He Jingsui did not expect it. Almost at the same time, those disgusting images flashed through his mind.
His eyes dimmed, and his cold voice rejected the question.
"It's nothing important." He didn't intend to tell her, so he stood up and said he would take her back to school.
Along the way, Chen Zan clearly felt that He Jingsui's mood had dropped to a low point.
She suddenly regretted asking him that question because she didn't want to see him unhappy.
After leaving the food street, you still have to walk along the asphalt road for a distance. There are fewer pedestrians. The street lights cast a shadow over their figures, one tall and one short, leaving gray traces on the ground.
"He Jingsui..."
Chen Zan couldn't help but call him suddenly.
Her voice was low and soft, like the wind in the night.
"Are you in a bad mood?"
He Jing turned his head and looked at her. In the quiet night, the lights were dim, and the shadows of the lights were dimly illuminating the girl's face. Fair and gentle.
Skin is clear.
He looked away and said in a low voice, "No."
Chen Zhan didn't believe it, but he didn't know why he was unhappy, so he said to him: "Although I don't know what happened to you, I hope you can always be happy."
It was like squeezing his heart, squeezing out the juice.
He Jingsui had never felt this way before.
The two said goodbye at the entrance of the Academy of Fine Arts. He Jingsui stood in the night breeze, raised his chin towards the inside, and said to her, "Hurry back."
"good."
Chen Zan waved goodbye to him and turned around.
The hem of her skirt swayed in the lingering night breeze, and his gaze fell on her slender back until he could no longer see it clearly.
The girl's serious yet gentle voice replayed in my ears, every word she said was sincere and genuine.
He Jing then chuckled softly, with a smile appearing at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Enough of the aftertaste.
He turned and left.
