Chapter 6 The accomplice was defeated by her.
That night, Bo Xia went over the details of their time together over and over again. He probably helped her out of fear of embarrassing her, but he still called her classmate.
He seemed to have no recollection of her name.
Bo Xia felt as if she were being pulled by a very thin string, imagining some unspeakable story, yet feeling that she was overthinking it. Her emotions were constantly torn between bittersweet and bittersweet, making her almost unlike herself.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the originally vague feelings similar to admiration and curiosity gradually became clear at that moment.
The clock hanging on the wall ticked away. She didn't know how much time had passed before she fell asleep in her confused thoughts.
Water droplets fell on the glass, covering it with a layer of light mist. The window was not closed tightly, and a cool breeze blew in, turning a page of the diary on the table.
There are faint handwritings on the back of the paper——
"His name is the biggest curtain call of the summer."
The rain affected the sports meeting the next day. The air was damp and filled with a humid atmosphere.
But even so, it couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm.
Wen Xin dragged Bo Xia to cheer Zhou Sui Ye on. She and Zhou Sui Ye usually quarreled and made fun of each other every day, but now she was shouting louder than anyone else, and Bo Xia was worried about her voice.
Seeing that the people around her were a little numb, Wen Xin pulled her sleeve and urged her to cheer up, so Bo Xia also started shouting.
As the decibels increased, it seemed as if something in his body was about to overflow. Bo Xia felt his blood boiling and gradually lost himself.
Zhou Suiye was wearing shorts, his long legs stained with sweat, looking radiantly white. He completed the jump almost effortlessly, increasing the height and leaping over again.
"Ahhhh Zhou Suiye."
Bo Xia also applauded, her cheeks slightly red. Suddenly, her eyes met Jin Yunyan, who was dressed in white across from her. For a moment, her sight felt as if it was burned.
He stood somewhat casually, one hand in his trouser pocket. Zhou Ran next to him leaned on his shoulder and said something, but he started laughing.
After finishing, Wen Xin hit Zhou Suiye on the shoulder: "Not bad, being tall is quite useful."
Bo Xia also smiled at him, then thought of something and looked away. She opened her lips, wanting to say that she would return the clothes to him after they were dry, but in the end she kept silent.
It's like he was born to be a shining star, and standing next to him would burn you.
At the end of the sports meet, their class ranked very high. At the closing ceremony, everyone had smiles on their faces until the rain suddenly started to fall heavily near the end.
The crowd dispersed, but the orange runway was too long and seemed to have no end.
…
The rain took away all the summer heat and also put a unique end to their sports meeting.
On the second day of the National Day holiday, Bo Xia saw Jin Yunyan.
In the quiet library, Jin Yunyan leaned against a bookshelf, reading a book. Bo Xia was just about to borrow a book. She glanced up as she walked past the rows of bookshelves and happened to see a tall, slender young man in a thin shirt. A faint orange glow shone from his head, casting a shadow beneath him.
Bo Xia was stunned for a moment, staring at him blankly with his dark eyes, like a startled deer in the deep forest.
Jin Yunyan didn't notice her. She walked past carefully, and for a moment her movements were a little uncoordinated.
She was reluctant to leave, so she pretended to look for books on the bookshelf over here. Her fingers ran over each book, but her eyes did not focus on them at all.
Bo Xia didn't know why he felt guilty. He always felt that his every move, even a glance, was magnified infinitely.
She picked up a book at random, raised her eyes to look at Jin Yunyan, and couldn't help but look at him twice more. His high nose bridge and the curve of his eyes were very beautiful, and the folds of his double eyelids were slightly deep.
Bo Xia clenched the book in her hand with her fingertips and unexpectedly met Jin Yunyan's eyes. He looked up at her, seeming a little confused.
Bo Xia felt it was impolite to leave at this time, so he had to bite the bullet and stammer for a long time before finally saying, "I've already washed the school uniform. I'll return it to you someday."
He took a long time to react, and seemed to finally remember it. His eyes fell on her lightly: "No need to return it."
It was a distant yet gentle response.
When the footsteps disappeared, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Bo Xia's palms, his face flushed, and he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
She glanced down at the book in her hand: Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood. Bo Xia had read it before in class, and a few clueless boys had laughed at her for reading pornography. Thinking of this, she swallowed hard.
He probably wouldn't think so.
After borrowing a few classics from the library, Bo Xia was walking home. On the way, her cell phone rang. She picked up the phone and took a look. It was Zhou Suiye who invited her to his house to play and said thank you for her participating in the sports meeting last time.
She hesitated, and Zhou Suiye added, "Everyone is here, and my mother has made a lot of delicious food. If you don't come, you will miss out."
Bo Xia thought about it and decided to ride her bike to Zhou Suiye's address. When she arrived at the door, Zhou Suiye's house looked very well-off. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but fortunately Wen Xin saw her and immediately pulled her in.
She has a lively personality, is always sweet and cheerful, and she smiled to adjust the atmosphere: "Xia Xia, you are here, come over quickly and eat out his house."
Zhou Suiye raised the corner of his lips: "Do you have this ability?"
The other students started to make a fuss and condemned him for showing off his wealth.
Bo Xia sat quietly aside, and Wen Xin occasionally came to say a few words to her. At this time, someone suggested playing games.
"Truth or Dare?"
"It's so tacky."
Wen Xin suggested: "King's Game."
"This isn't appropriate. What if the content is too stimulating..."
Several boys laughed uncontrollably, and one teased Zhou Suiye, "That's exactly what you want. You're already looking forward to it, right?"
"Get away from me."
Finally, they decided to play Werewolf. Bo Xia didn't understand the rules and didn't want to participate, but then Zhou Suiye saw someone at the door and called his name: "Jin Yunyan, you're finally here, come and play a game."
Bo Xia's fingertips trembled, but she still chose to join in under the urging of others. She didn't look up, but she smelled the scent of mint.
Zhou Suiye enthusiastically explained the rules to the students who didn't know how to play: "The game is divided into two camps: werewolves and good guys. The good guys are made up of four civilians and four clergy. The werewolves meet at night and kill people. The good guys don't meet at night and vote to banish the werewolves during the day. If all the werewolves are eliminated, the good guys win. If all the civilians or clergy are eliminated, the werewolves win."
He then confidently asked, "Simple, right?"
Wen Xin resisted the urge to slap him and nodded, "If only math problems could be that simple."
After she finished speaking, she pretended to hit someone. Zhou Suiye admitted defeat and added, "Okay, okay, don't hit me. Let's play a simulation first. You'll understand later, right?"
The simulated board was the Wolf King Guard. Zhou Suiye was explaining the whole time, and Bo Xia played games with them. Compared with Wen Xin's liveliness, she looked like a computer.
Wen Xin asked frantically:
"Why do werewolves also have to dance as prophet? Can they not do it?"
Zhou Suiye: "Okay."
"Does a witch have to rescue people on the first night?"
Zhou Suiye joked: "Okay, you can save the antidote for the New Year."
Wen Xin: “…”
After a while of fighting, the game began. When the werewolves opened their eyes and met each other at night, Bo Xia looked up and saw Jin Yunyan. His gentle eyes met hers, and she felt as if she was scalded.
When the judge asked the werewolf to choose the person to kill, Bo Xia still didn't react, and it was the knife that Jin Yunyan pointed at in the end.
Bo Xia was slacking off in that game because he didn't quite understand the rules.
She paddled a little too hard, and Zhou Suiye stared at her with suspicion, his eyes blazing. "Number 3 is a wolf, right? He looks a little nervous."
Bo Xia didn't like playing wolf, and she was not good at lying. She was afraid of dragging down her teammates, so she forced herself to remain calm after hearing this, but her slender fingertips were clutching the hem of her skirt.
The person sitting next to her glanced at her hand. When it was Jin Yunyan's turn to speak, he spoke calmly with a hint of confidence in his eyes, "She is my silver water. For now, I won't discuss the situation of the werewolf's self-stab. I, the witch, will lead the team. I will first play the 7 on the bandit ticket."
His pleasant voice lingered in her ears, tickling her earlobes.
A certain spot in his chest began to beat restlessly, as if something were beating furiously. This wasn't a particularly ambiguous game, but the rules had divided them into the same camp, turning them into accomplices.
Zhou Suiye was somewhat skeptical about Jin Yunyan's identity as a witch, but the other good people believed in Jin Yunyan. Many of the people present had little exposure to Werewolf and felt that a werewolf would not dare to easily wear the identity of a witch.
Although he was highly qualified, he couldn't stop others from being fooled by Jin Yunyan. After it was over, he was really helpless. He squinted at Jin Yunyan and said half-jokingly: "Jin Yunyan, you are so good at playing Werewolf, you must be cheating people every day."
Jin Yunyan was not annoyed. He looked at Zhou Suiye with a gentle expression. The teardrop mole at the corner of his eye swayed a little bit bewitchingly: "Since you are so bad at it, you must be deceived every day."
"you……"
Zhou Suiye couldn't win the argument with Jin Yunyan at all and was furious.
Bo Xia was in a good mood after winning without any effort. Although she still didn't quite understand the rules, she seemed to understand the charm of this kind of logical reasoning game.
Everyone was ready to play another round. Bo Xia was a little nervous. For her, this game was very interesting. The only drawback was that she didn't like the werewolf card.
If you get it, you have to lie.
It seemed like what she feared would come true. When she flipped over her character card and saw her identity as a werewolf, her heart sank. When the wolf team was playing at night, Zhou Suiye made a gesture to her, asking her to play the prophet and identify Jin Yunyan as a wolf.
Bo Xia glanced at the boy with his eyes closed, pursed his lips in embarrassment, and finally succumbed to Zhou Suiye's gaze.
That's all we can do.
She had only a vague understanding of the game and didn't know how to play it, but precisely because she didn't know how to play, no one could identify her identity. In addition, Jin Yunyan performed so well in the previous round that he deceived many people. No matter how he defended himself in this round, no one believed him.
Therefore, Bo Xia, the novice player, actually led the Wolf Team to vote out Jin Yunyan. Without this strong opponent, Zhou Suiye played around with the rest of the people.
It's easy to get drunk while playing this game. Listening to the heated discussions around him, Bo Xia looked at Jin Yunyan nervously.
Compared with the people around him, he had a calm expression and didn't think it was a big deal that others didn't believe him. But after noticing Bo Xia's eyes, he looked at the pair of eyes coming at him with a bit more of a playful emotion.
Bo Xia always felt that this look was accusing her of ingratitude.
First, he risked exposing his identity to "protect" her, and second, she "forgot their friendship" and used her newbie halo to get him out of the game.
"Um..." She was still embarrassed and looked at Jin Yunyan with a little apology.
Seeing her like that, the young man should have said something immediately out of his gentlemanly manners, but for some reason he didn't say anything for a long time, letting her stammer and try to form her words, even her cheeks turning a little red.
The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and his facial features were so outstanding that they were a little infuriating to some people.
Zhou Suiye came over and hugged Jin Yunyan's neck: "How is it, are you being restrained by this rookie?"
The corners of the boy's lips curled up slightly, his eyes seemed to be filled with tenderness, and his tone was a little compromising.
"Well, I lost to her."
The world lost its voice.
Her heart was pounding, as if the place that had been silent for so many years suddenly stopped working and broke down.
