Chapter 109 It turns out the boy she had a crush on was such a gentle guy.
Hearing the noise behind her, Wen Jiu turned around and looked. When she saw who it was, she whispered to the person on the phone, "Zhou Yanchuan, I have to go back now. I'll hang up now."
He Shixu saw the girl on the phone and stopped a few steps away from her.
Wen Jiu stood up from the ground. The person on the other end hadn't hung up yet: "You haven't said what illness it is."
"I have menstrual cramps, and Yueyue brought me to see a doctor when she found out."
Upon hearing about menstrual cramps, Zhou Yanchuan frowned again.
"Don't worry, it's nothing," Wen Jiu comforted her. "Study hard, and I'll come with you during the exam."
"good."
"He's really dead."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Jiu glanced at the person not far away, wondering whether to walk around him or just pass by him, when he suddenly spoke up: "Did I disturb you?"
Wen Jiu looked up at him.
This was the second thing He Shixu said to her when they met today.
After that unpleasant encounter at the teahouse, Wen Jiu thought this person would never appear again, but she never expected to see him again.
There was a hint of confusion and distress in her eyes.
Has your anger subsided?
He Shixu took in the emotions that the little girl inadvertently revealed in her eyes. After all, she was young and no matter how clever she was, she couldn't compare to someone a few years older than her. She was a little at a loss when things took an unexpected turn.
They don't like being rejected, but they prefer to follow their hearts in the moment rather than feel angry when rejected.
If you hate it, leave; if you like it or are interested, come.
I don't care what impact it will have on your life.
After all, in their world, there is only themselves and their own interests.
At least for now, He Shixu was interested in the girl, and this interest was enough to make him calm down and reappear in front of her.
"I have a boyfriend."
Wen Jiu whispered.
I was afraid that I was being presumptuous and that it would be strange to say this, but now it's clear that something is getting out of control.
As if he had heard something funny, He Shixu's lips curled into a mocking smile, while his gaze toward the girl held a hint of pity that he himself hadn't noticed.
"Zhou Yanchuan should be arriving in September, right?"
"Um."
"Did you know that he's getting engaged around this time next year?"
Wen Jiu's expression suddenly froze, as if a sudden burst of fire had burned everything in her mind, leaving it completely blank.
He Shixu quietly examined her: her pale face, her tightly pursed lips, and her long, trembling eyelashes.
Surprisingly, I felt a pang of reluctance.
Just as I was about to say something to comfort her, a very soft voice suddenly came to my ear: "Is that girl alright?"
He Shixu was momentarily stunned. The little girl was probably stupid to ask such a question.
“It’s good,” he said.
The family background, appearance, and talent chosen by the old man were all of exceptional quality.
"That's fine then."
The rain outside had stopped sometime earlier, and the girl's eyelashes were moistened by the flickering candlelight, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
But her slender back was like a camellia flower that had been washed by a storm, swaying precariously, as if it could not support itself on the branch.

Perhaps it was the acupuncture that worked, because Wen Jiu had never slept as long as that night, so long that she felt as if her entire life was encompassed within it.
In my dream, it's no longer the dark alleyway in front of my house, but the area downstairs in this dormitory building.
Zhou Yanchuan stood there, looking up at her on the balcony.
The night breeze was blowing, and although he didn't say anything, Wen Jiu felt incredibly uncomfortable.
She wanted to go down to find him.
But for some reason, in my dream she was standing on the balcony, completely still.
...
The scene shifts to downstairs in an apartment building. She can't see the man's face clearly by the door, but she hears him say, "Want to try it with me, Wenwen?"
Wenwen, that person isn't Zhou Yanchuan.
...
With the college entrance examination approaching, the school suddenly issued a notice that students could not leave the campus. Only then did Wen Jiu remember that college students were restricted from leaving the campus during the college entrance examination period.
She was upset that she couldn't accompany Zhou Yanchuan to the exam, but he comforted her, saying it was okay and he would come over after his exam.

A loud ringtone came from the radio, and in just a dozen seconds, those few years of youth came to an end.
"The exam is over. Please stop writing immediately."
Zhou Yanchuan put down his pen and stood up from his seat.
A faint smile played on his lips; this time it should work.
When the invigilator finished collecting the exam papers and announced that everyone could leave the exam room, Xia Ran looked at the figure in the front row who had picked up a pen and was about to leave.
She took a deep breath and walked towards him.
However, when she got close to him, she became hesitant. In those few seconds of hesitation, Zhou Yanchuan had already left the classroom.
Xia Ran hurriedly followed.
When she saw the boy taking his phone by the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, he hadn't left yet.
Not only her, but all the girls around him were staring at him, but he still looked lazy and indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.
"I," Xia Ran mustered her courage and stepped forward, but her words were cut short when the boy put his phone to his ear.
A person who was indifferent just a second ago can change their entire demeanor the moment the call is connected.
She's become so gentle.
Xia Ran couldn't hear what the person on the other end of the phone was saying, but she did hear him say, "Yeah, you did well on the exam."
"You did well on the test, why are you crying?"
"Aren't you stupid?" Although he said it with disdain, his tone was full of pity.
Xia Ran realized almost immediately who was on the other end of the phone.
Everyone at school is saying he repeated a year because of a girl who had excellent grades and was studying at University A.
...
Xia Ran wasn't entirely convinced, since the boy in front of her didn't seem like the type to do these things for a girl.
So aloof.
At that moment, she heard him say, "Okay, stop crying. I'll buy the tickets and go there later, okay?"
Xia Ran didn't go forward again, and she never said the words she hadn't spoken.
She watched him quietly until he disappeared from her sight.
She thought to herself, "So the guy she has a crush on is such a gentle guy."
