Chapter 53 They definitely don't like you as much as I do.
Everyone present recognized Zhou Yanchuan.
Just standing there, doing nothing, is eye-catching.
Moreover, even from a distance of three to five meters, with people coming and going around them, he seemed to automatically block out everyone, his eyes filled with an undisguised heat as he stared straight at them.
Moreover, even though the gaze was so intense, it still gave the impression that someone was trying their best to suppress something.
No one could be sure who he was looking at, but the girls felt a surge of heat rising on their faces from his restrained gaze.
Wen Jiu's heart was also beating very fast, a rapid and heavy kind of beating.
All I can think about is how he got here.
The girl's gaze lingered on him for so long that Lu Jingci found it hard not to notice, and for the second time in his life, he had those despicable thoughts.
The first time was when I overheard her talking to him on the phone.
“Wen Jiu,” he suddenly spoke.
The girl seemed not to have reacted yet; she only glanced at him subconsciously upon hearing the voice.
As Lu Jingci gazed at that pure face, the despicable thoughts in his heart surged even higher. He touched the hair clip he had just bought in his pocket. His fingertips pinched the edge, and finally, he raised his hand.
Wen Jiu's thoughts were focused on Zhou Yanchuan until a gentle touch came from above her head. Her eyelashes trembled, and her body reacted with resistance before her brain could.
She tilted her head slightly to the side.
But from Zhou Yanchuan's perspective, the couple in his line of sight looked so intimate.
His hand holding the phone went from a loose grip to a knuckle protruding, and he gripped it so tightly it turned white.
The voice of Chen Si Nian sounded from behind.
"What are you looking at?"
He remained motionless, his jaw clenched and his lips drawn straight.
Seeing that the person was ignoring him, Chen Si Nian felt strange. He walked over, but before he could even put his hand on the person's shoulder, the person turned around and left.
"Um?"
Having known each other for so long, Shen Si Nian immediately noticed that Zhou Yan Chuan's mood was off. He was the kind of person who wouldn't usually get angry, but once he did, it was all over.
The kind of person no one can appease.
Fearing something might happen, he followed them down the steps.
Wen Jiu was startled by the boy's sudden action, but her first reaction was not to question him, but to subconsciously look towards the streetlight.
She was afraid that person would misunderstand.
but--
His dark eyes trembled slightly, reflecting the empty lamplight.
Wen Jiu was stunned for a few seconds, then lowered her head and curled her lips in a self-deprecating smile. She was afraid he would misunderstand, but it turned out she didn't care at all.
The emotions in his eyes changed in the blink of an eye.
But the next second, those disappointed eyes froze at the sound that suddenly rang in their ears.
"Are you coming here, or should I go to you?"
The people around were initially confused as to why Zhou Yanchuan had come, and they were even more shocked to hear him say such things.
What does "You come here, or I go to you?" mean?
The girls gripped each other's arms tightly, unaware that it hurt, their minds filled with thoughts of whether this possessiveness was something a person like Zhou Yanchuan should have.
And who was he talking to?
Zhou Yanchuan had already left, but he suddenly stopped after taking only two steps.
He muttered a curse under his breath, then turned and walked back.
Who cares who she has a crush on or who she likes?
Before Wen Jiu could process what was happening, she heard several gasps from beside her.
She looked up, somewhat dazed.
Zhou Yanchuan was just two steps away from him.
Whether he thought she was too slow or something else, before she could even speak, he suddenly said, "Never mind."
Wen Jiu's eyes flickered, thinking he was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yanchuan took another step forward.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, he grabbed her wrist.
Wen Jiu's body trembled slightly.
She instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but he gripped it even tighter.
The people around them naturally noticed the small gesture between the two, and their eyes showed even more shock.
It can no longer be described as shock, but rather as a shock.
And whether to comfort the girl or to console himself, Zhou Yanchuan whispered, "Don't be angry."
They had been gone for a long time, and the people at the stall hadn't even realized what was happening. A few seconds later:
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
"Do they know each other?"
"Zhou Yanchuan and Wen Jiu?"
The whole thing took less than two minutes, but the group of people were stunned for a long time.
Lu Jingci watched the two figures walk into the crowd, his eyes filled with undisguised loneliness.
Even through the fabric, Wen Jiu could still feel the hand holding her wrist was very hot, and the gift bag in his left hand would occasionally brush against her leg, again and again, just like her uncontrollable heartbeat.
Zhou Yanchuan led her to a secluded corner.
But he didn't speak immediately; he just looked down at her.
Wen Jiu couldn't bear his deep gaze and unconsciously tried to back away.
But he held her wrist so tightly she couldn't move.
An unknown amount of time passed.
He finally spoke, but still didn't let go of her.
"Wen Xiaojiu".
"Hmm." She pressed her fingertips against her palm.
"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
"What do you want to ask?"
"Why did we come here? And why did I take your hand?"
Wen Jiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, but she remained silent.
I already had a pretty good idea of the answer in my heart, but I still wasn't sure.
Seeing that the man was nervous, Zhou Yanchuan changed his approach, "Have you considered what I said the other day?"
The girl looked up at him, her eyes momentarily blank, then seemed to remember something, her face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "I haven't thought about it."
Zhou Yanchuan's eyes seemed to be stung by something, and the bitterness he had finally managed to suppress welled up again.
And the sounds around us.
"They look good together."
"The class monitor clearly prefers those who are well-mannered."
"They're evenly matched."
...
While he was lost in thought, the girl said weakly, "I've been too busy these past few days."
Zhou Yanchuan's gaze paused slightly, then his eyes flickered: "Didn't you consider it because you were busy?"
"Um."
"Think about it now."
He regained his usual composure.
Now that I think about it...
Wen Jiu was completely unable to think straight; her mind was a jumbled mess. If it weren't for the warmth emanating from her wrist, she would have doubted whether she was dreaming.
All of this happened too fast.
There was absolutely no room for her to think.
Just as she could only look helplessly at her toes, Zhou Yanchuan's voice rang in her ears again.
"You want me to say something beforehand."
"What?"
"Those people don't understand you as well as I do."
Wen Jiu blinked again, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion, until she heard that sentence—
"So, I'm definitely not as good at liking you as I am."
