Wu Xin sneezed three times while lying in bed.
He rubbed his nose and smiled slightly.
Maybe someone is missing him, just like he is missing that person.
Someone started snoring in the dormitory. Wu Xin turned over, but he couldn't sleep at all.
The moonlight came in through the window and sprinkled on the bed, soft and clear, like the light in Qiuhua's beautiful big eyes.
When Wu Xin woke up the next day, his eyelids felt heavy and there was a small dark spot under his eye.
He was still the first one to arrive in the class. Just like in junior high school, everyone thought that this cold-faced plaster was someone who was difficult to get along with, as he was used to being alone.
The second person to come was the squad leader, Xie Wan.
Xie Wan has a good personality and is tall and beautiful. Her academic performance is comparable to Wu Xin's. The two of them secretly compete with each other but also admire each other.
"Wu Xin, you are the first one again!" Xie Wan is like a little sun wherever she goes.
Wu Xin smiled and continued to read.
"Hey, stop looking at it. Come on, eat this."
Xie Wan broke his book and handed him a hot meat bun. Her home was near the school, so she lived at home, got up early to go to school every day, and brought something for Wu Xin every few days.
"I've already had breakfast." Wu Xin didn't answer.
Xie Wan curled her lips, looking a little unhappy, and said, "If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away."
"Why throw it away? I've already eaten. Forcing it down your throat won't be good for your health. Eat it as a snack yourself later, or give it to other students."
What Wu Xin said was true. Xie Wan pouted and tactfully took the meat bun and returned to her seat.
The students entered the classroom one after another, and the classroom became lively with the sound of reading.
Tired of reading, Xie Wan looked out the window and saw Wu Xin sitting by the window. Looking at his serious expression, she couldn't help but wonder: Is he really a plaster man?
I don’t have any emotions, and I don’t seem to feel tired when studying. It’s just a plaster statue!
Thinking of this, she burst out laughing and found her own thoughts quite funny.
Suddenly, she sighed again. What would it be like if one day Wu Xin could see her face in his eyes and smile at her happily from the bottom of his heart?
Xie Wan is a bright and pretty girl. Many boys in the class like to talk to her, but she doesn't care much. Instead, she pays special attention to the cold Wu Xin.
At lunch, Xie Wan sat opposite Wu Xin with her lunch box. He looked up, then lowered his head woodenly to eat.
"Why are you sitting here?"
"Why? Are you not used to it?" Xie Wan wanted to say that she didn't like it, but she changed her mind when the words came to her lips.
"Yeah, I'm not used to it."
“…”
One sentence can choke even gods to death.
"I was afraid you'd be bored eating alone, so I came all the way here to keep you company!"
Xie Wan picked out the meat from the lunch box and gave it to him. Wu Xin paused and took it back.
"What are you doing? I gave it to you because I don't like eating meat." Xie Wan protested.
"I saw you eating a big chicken drumstick yesterday."
“…”
"I don't feel like eating today. I got hurt eating meat yesterday!"
Wu Xin looked at her helplessly. Xie Wan stuck out her tongue and picked out two more pieces of meat for him.
He said, "Squad leader, there are differences between men and women."
Xie Wan's face flushed. "I, I just can't eat anymore. This is the friendship between us revolutionary comrades!"
I was speechless for a moment.
After evening self-study, the students left the classroom one by one, leaving only Wu Xin and Xie Wan. After waiting for a long time, Xie Wan's feet were almost frozen. She couldn't bear it any longer and got up to leave.
After a while, Wu Xin got up and returned to the dormitory.
As I turned the corner, I heard someone talking in the darkness.
"What are you doing? Let go!"
"You've known for a long time that I'm interested in you, so why do you keep trying to please him? Am I not good enough?"
"Let go! You're being a hooligan! I'm going to tell the teacher tomorrow!"
"Just sue, it's worth it!"
"Ah! Let go—"
Wu Xin felt something was wrong and rushed into the darkness. He saw a black figure holding Xie Wan tightly with his mouth close to her face. He grabbed the man's hand and Xie Wan escaped in panic.
"Who are you...Wu Xin! It's you, kid!"
The man said in a bad tone: "Okay, you two are having an affair!"
Wu Xin put more force on his hands, his eyes cold and intimidating: "Watch your mouth!"
"Humph, I'll let everyone know about your dirty relationship tomorrow!"
"Oh, how dare you!" Xie Wan cursed. "If you dare to say that, I'll let everyone know that you were a hooligan to me. I'll see if the school expel you!"
"You!" The man looked at them viciously and ran away with his tail between his legs.
"Wu Xin, thank you."
"Let's go. I'll take you back."
Xie Wan's heart leaped with joy and she followed him happily.
The weather was cold and there was no one on the road. Wu Xin had long legs and walked fast, so Xie Wan had to take small steps to catch up with him.
"Slow down..."
Wu Xin slowed down a bit and said, "Hurry back. Your family must be worried. You, a little fish, shouldn't leave so late."
"I……"
She was so excited that she mustered up the courage to say, "I'm waiting for you!"
"Why are you waiting for me? Don't wait for me."
"You!" Xie Wan was furious. She stopped and refused to move, saying, "You really don't know? Why do you always act so indifferent?"
Helplessly, Wu Xin also stopped, turned around and said, "Pretending to be indifferent? No, I've always been like this."
"Yes, I am equally cold to everyone!" Xie Wan said excitedly, tears in her eyes.
"But aren't you treating me differently?"
"There is no difference, you misunderstood."
It was different, Wu Xin knew it well. But that difference was just appreciation, nothing more, and he didn't want her to think too much about it.
"Why not? You just said a few more words to me, didn't you?" Xie Wan took a few steps towards him, closing the distance between them, and said anxiously, "I don't believe you can't see my admiration for you..."
Wu Xin frowned slightly, and Xie Wan felt like a knife was stabbing her heart.
"But I have no affection for you."
How does it feel to be doused from head to toe with a basin of cold water in winter? That’s what Xie Wan is feeling now.
Her whole body was stiff from head to toe, but her mind was unusually clear, and she heard every word Wu Xin said clearly.
Xie Wan is outstanding and conceited. She understands the way the boys in the class look at her. Although she looks down on them, she also enjoys the admiration of others.
She thought Wu Xin was the same.
But she was completely wrong.
"Why? Am I not good enough?"
She bit her lip tightly and asked stubbornly.
Wu Xin shook his head and said, "Hello, that's great, but so what? Isn't it enough that so many boys in the class like you? Not everyone has to bow down to you."
A man as arrogant as Wu Xin is a fatal temptation to Xie Wan.
"You have your admiration, and I have my persistence."
Xie Wan looked at the tenderness in Wu Xin's eyes in surprise. This was something she had never seen before.
It turns out that he is not always cold and aloof.
