Chapter 22 Pretending to be Innocent
*
Zhou Yanchuan paid no attention to his surroundings, his gaze fixed on that slender figure in the crowd, afraid that she might feel uncomfortable again.
After resting for a while, he started running against the flow of people towards her.
At first, Wen Jiu saw the sky, the playground, and many people.
Later, the sky and the playground disappeared, leaving only the crowds.
Further on, my pupils were completely filled with a figure.
Just as Zhou Yanchuan was about to reach the girl, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He almost laughed in anger as he watched the figure turn away abruptly after meeting his gaze, then walk forward without looking back.
He hid again.
Seeing the boy suddenly stop, the students standing there exchanged glances.
He was clearly happy when he ran over a second ago, but for some reason, his lips were now pressed into a thin line, and his whole body exuded a sharp and unpleasant aura.
Su Shun and Wu Feng, who were originally about to rush forward, immediately stopped in their tracks.
As for Chen Yu: "You were really awesome just now—"
"Shut up."
"..."
Watching the figure walk away through the crowd, Chen Yu finally came to his senses after being scolded: "Who offended him?"
Su Shun shook his head: "I don't know."
Chen Yu watched the figure disappear around the corner, and after a while, he said, "Should we follow them and take a look?"
The two men's eyes widened: "Are you crazy?"
“What are you afraid of? Let’s go take a look,” he urged.
The two shook their heads and stepped back.
Chen Yu reached out and put his arm around Su Shun's neck. "Are you going or not?"
"I'm not going."
"Hmm?" Chen Yu waved his fist.

People who have been pampered since childhood naturally have a temper, but they unconsciously restrain it when facing Wen Jiu.
But right now, Zhou Yanchuan had a cold face and kept walking in one direction.
Just as he turned to leave, three furtive figures peeked out from behind a sycamore tree not far away.
Su Shun, hugging the tree, suggested, "Why don't we go?"
Wu Feng, who was leaning on his shoulder, nodded.
Chen Yu: "Since we're already here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two people in front of him said in unison, "Since you're already here, why don't you hide behind us?"
Wen Jiu originally wanted to go straight back to her dormitory, but she left the infirmary in a hurry and didn't bring her wallet or medicine.
After emerging from the side path, she turned and headed towards the infirmary.
As soon as I turned into the medical building, I saw three people peering through the glass door, seemingly watching something furtively.
As she approached, she was visibly taken aback when she saw the three people's faces.
They were clearly surprised to see her, exclaiming in unison, "Squad leader?"
Wen Jiu hummed in agreement.
There was still a hint of doubt in his eyes regarding their actions.
Chen Yu wanted to explain, but it wasn't easy to explain.
He couldn't very well say that the three of them came with Zhou Yanchuan, saw him go in, and were too afraid to go in, so they peeked from the doorway.
The other two were also too embarrassed to say anything.
Wen Jiu wasn't particularly curious about other people's secrets. Looking at their expressions, she thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go in first."
"Oh, okay." Chen Yu paused for a moment before replying.
Just as Wen Jiu was about to leave, Su Shun, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly asked, "Class monitor, what are you doing here?"
Wen Jiu paused for a moment and told the truth: "I forgot the medicine and wallet I bought this morning here."
Chen Yu didn't know why Su Shun suddenly asked this, but upon hearing the girl's reply, he reached out and opened the door for her: "Then you should go quickly."
"Yes, thank you."
As Wen Jiu was speaking, she was about to enter the room when she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She stared straight ahead, standing there somewhat dazed.
Zhou Yanchuan stood a few steps away from her by the wall, one hand in his pocket and the other holding the medicine he had bought for her.
They were clearly trying to ambush her.
The three people outside saw the person who was about to leave suddenly stop and couldn't help but peek out curiously.
"What's wrong?" Before the words could even leave his mouth, he stopped abruptly upon meeting that cold gaze.
Outside the glass door, the three heads lowered their heads one by one, as if in unspoken agreement.
Zhou Yanchuan had seen Wen Jiu long before she entered the room.
After she saw him, he didn't move, but just stared straight at her.
He wondered whether she would come in or just turn around and leave.
However, given her personality, even if she confronted him, she would still come in when there were three people outside, so as not to let them see through her disguise.
As expected.
Zhou Yanchuan chuckled as he watched the person who ignored him and walked straight into the room.
Xia Fei noticed an unusual atmosphere as she looked at the two people inside the room.
She glanced at Zhou Yanchuan first, then looked at Wen Jiu, and asked gently, "Does it hurt again?"
Wen Jiu shook her head. "I didn't take my wallet."
"wallet?"
"Hmm, it must have been left on the bed."
"Then I'll go take a look for you."
Xia Fei was about to go over when the girl's voice rang in her ears, "It's okay, I can get it myself."
She stopped walking forward, just as two students with low blood sugar walked in.
Xia Fei nodded: "That works too."
After receiving permission, Wen Jiu turned and walked towards the cubicle.
I had just walked in and reached the bedside when I heard the door close behind me.
She paused as she reached to lift the blanket, but without turning around, she continued searching for her wallet.
It was eventually found under the pillow.
Wen Jiu took her wallet, straightened the blankets, and finally looked up.
Unsurprisingly, Zhou Yanchuan was standing behind the door.
She had already heard the familiar footsteps that followed her in, and the only person who could have closed the door was him.
But when his figure actually came into view, his pupils still trembled slightly.
She stood there for two seconds, then walked towards the door.
Zhou Yanchuan gritted his teeth as he watched the girl walk toward him nonchalantly.
As she reached the doorway, he suddenly stepped to the side, blocking her path.
The white curtains fluttered in the wind, and the bag he was carrying brushed against her fingertips.
Wen Jiu's fingers curled up slightly.
Suddenly, a voice rang in my ears: "Can't you see me?"
He lowered his voice, clearly suppressing something.
Wen Jiu knew that this time he was really angry.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Yanchuan rarely showed such outward anger in front of her.
She looked down at her fingertips, her eyelashes casting a small shadow beneath her eyes.
His throat moved slightly, then fell silent again.
Faint sounds of footsteps and hushed conversations could be heard outside.
Her knuckles unconsciously rubbed against the small logo on her wallet.
One, two...
"I didn't close the door."
She finally spoke.
The sound was as soft as a feather brushing past the ear, disappearing before it even touched.
Zhou Yanchuan raised his eyes slightly.
The girl still didn't look at him. She paused for two seconds before continuing, "I didn't close the door because I was waiting for you to come in."
His voice was soft and gentle, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
Zhou Yanchuan naturally understood what she meant, from the sentence "she'll go get it."
He knew it.
He looked down at her and said his second sentence since entering the room.
Why are you waiting for me to come in?
