Chapter 22 The Rival's Tale: Are You Thirsty?
"I know."
Jiang Yue said this casually, exchanging glances with Xie Changyu, "The place I always ate at in high school, I've switched to another one now."
So they were just tired of the food, Xie Changyu thought with her head down.
It's true that money can buy anything; he wants to be rich too!
He was running out of things to say and was about to leave when he heard the other person say, "I have a competition tomorrow..."
His eyes widened. "You're competing tomorrow too?"
"Hmm," Jiang Yue replied casually, his dark pupils shifting slightly. "Tomorrow morning."
"oh."
Xie Changyu gave a dry reply, not knowing what to say. Why talk to him about this? They didn't seem to know each other very well. Did he want Xie Changyu to cheer him on?
Fortunately, that wasn't the case. He heard Jiang Yue say, "I watched you run this afternoon. You were really good."
That is.
Hearing this, Xie Changyu raised his eyebrows smugly and said proudly, "The two people in front of me were both sports students. I came in third place. I'm pretty good."
"I told you to keep going."
He was somewhat surprised. "Thank you?"
"You're welcome. Can you say something to me?" Jiang Yue's expression was indifferent, not like he was asking for a favor, but his tone was still polite.
Xie Changyu was a little surprised, but then agreed. What's the big deal? He rubbed his hands together and made a scattering-flowers gesture. "Come on, let me share my good luck with you today! May it help you get good grades tomorrow!"
Then he saw Jiang Yue's lips curl up slightly, his eyes softening, "Thank you."
Xie Changyu stammered, "You're welcome."
This guy actually laughed.
That's so strange.
Oh my god, has he seen a monster?
His eyes widened in horror, then Jiang Yue stopped laughing and said, "What's wrong? Is it strange?"
How could he dare admit that? Xie Changyu immediately shook his head, his eyes sincere, "No, no, you look quite nice when you smile."
He was right. Although Jiang Yue usually had a cold face, his smile was quite stunning. Indeed, people should smile more.
But then he realized that saying that might upset the other person, so he immediately covered his mouth and denied it, saying, "That's not what I meant, you, you..."
After a few seconds of hesitation, not knowing what to say, he gave up and said dejectedly with his head down, "I think you should smile more."
He looked up at Jiang Yue and said honestly, "Your cold face is really scary."
After saying that, he glanced at the bed and shrank back down, not daring to say anything more. He was afraid that the guy would get angry and suddenly beat him up.
Jiang Yue's eyes turned strange, and he said softly, "So afraid of me..."
Um?
Xie Changyu didn't hear clearly. He strained his ears, trying to make out the sentence, but it was all in vain; he still couldn't hear anything.
"you……"
He wanted to ask more, but Qi Yan had already returned from taking out the trash, a slight smile on his face. "What are you two talking about? And you're talking behind my back?"
Xie Changyu waved his hand, waving it in the air. "Just chatting. You're finally back. Why did you take so long?"
"I went to the cafeteria and bought some things," Qi Yan said, placing a bag on the table. "I'm going to wash my hands first."
He closed the door behind his back, said those words, and then went to the bathroom.
Xie Changyu looked at the red plastic bag on her desk, craning her neck curiously, "What did you buy?"
An echo came from the bathroom: "Some fruit, come down and eat."
"Fruit?!" Xie Changyu was delighted. He climbed out of bed, opened the bag, and found it contained his favorite mangoes. "How did you know I like mangoes?"
He thought Qi Yan was amazing; he even knew what fruit Qi Yan liked to eat. He skillfully peeled the mango and ate it, feeling quite satisfied: "I can still eat mangoes in winter."
"Thank you, scientists! Thank you, Qi Yan!"
Qi Yan was wiping the water with a tissue when she heard this and chuckled, "I saw your post on WeChat Moments in August. You said you really liked mangoes, so I bought some on the way."
Xie Changyu nodded. "I see."
His WeChat Moments are always open, without any time restrictions. He can see posts from a long time ago. The post Qi Yan saw was probably one he posted when he was so excited about going to the mango orchard during the summer vacation.
That was the first time he had ever seen mangoes still hanging on the tree, and he was overjoyed.
He grinned foolishly, "This mango is so sweet!"
"Then eat more."
Qi Yan smiled at him, but when she turned her head and saw Jiang Yue staring at them, she lowered her eyelids slightly. "Want some?"
"Do you want some, Jiang Yue? I have plenty."
Then Xie Changyu heard a familiar voice refusing, "No need."
That's true, Xie Changyu thought. Although mangoes are delicious, eating them in such a messy way would damage one's image, and Jiang Yue would definitely not eat them.
Qi Yan couldn't eat it either, saying she was allergic.
"Allergic reaction, what a pity." He was a little disappointed that the other person couldn't eat such delicious fruit, but he continued to bury his head in his work. "Then I'll eat them all."
Because he loves mangoes so much, he developed a special way of cutting them so that he can enjoy the essence of the mango without making a mess of his eating habits.
hey-hey.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the cleaning staff arrived. The three of them stood outside for a while, and finished cleaning up in about twenty minutes. They were very efficient, and Xie Changyu was very satisfied.
The last day of the sports meet came quickly, and there were even more people on the playground today. Xie Changyu's face was all scrunched up from being squeezed.
He wasn't wearing a hat this time, so his whole face was exposed to the sunlight, and his eyes were so wrinkled he could barely open them.
hiss.
Why is it so hot today?
Xie Changyu's skin was very fair in the sunlight, with delicate features and a face full of gloom. He had watched Qi Yan's match first, and Wen Shu's match was coming up soon, so he had to rush to the next one.
Before the competition started, Qi Yan took off his jacket, revealing a black workout shirt underneath. His muscles were clearly defined, and his chest was well-developed. He suddenly reached out his hand and looked at him, saying, "Give me a cheer."
Xie Changyu grasped his hand, and their hands intertwined. "Go for it!"
The two were very close at the moment, close enough that Qi Yan could see the other's dark brown pupils and flawless, jade-like skin. He swallowed slightly, which Xie Changyu noticed.
"Are you thirsty? Would you like some water before you go on stage?"
Qi Yan shook his head, "No need, I'll drink it after I finish running!"
"Okay, good luck!"
"Um."
Qi Yan's event was similar to his, but it was the 5000 meters, which was much more difficult than his. However, Xie Changyu looked at the other's physique and thought, "Hmm, this guy looks like he has great stamina."
The race had already started, and Xie Changyu deliberately found a less crowded place to sit, since this event was quite long and wouldn't be finished in less than twenty minutes.
He initially took a closer look, but after discovering that Qi Yan was the fastest runner, he stopped looking. There was no suspense at all, he thought leisurely.
"You're here."
Xie Changyu felt a sudden tap on his shoulder and turned his head. "Huh? What are you doing here?"
Wen Shu smiled faintly. He sat next to him, his gentle face looking over, his tone flat, "The competition is still a while away, I'm worried you might not be able to get there later."
It means I'm afraid he'll change his mind.
Xie Changyu denied it, "How could that be? I already agreed to it. But since you two bumped into each other, I'll check on Qi Yan first, and then I'll go with you later."
"good."
Wen Shu crossed her legs and said leisurely, "Then I'll wait with you."
