Chapter 36: Just like the first time we met
"Su Zhiqing, I don't know you well."
"Nian Nian?"
Su Yu looked at Liu Niannian in astonishment, his eyes full of hurt, hiding a deep anger. It was the stress response of his sensitive and fragile self-esteem after being repeatedly rejected and hit.
Liu Niannian didn't explain anything, but her face was sad and her eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Su Yu reluctantly, then turned and ran away. She looked like a little white flower that was destroyed by the wind and rain, with branches and leaves falling to the ground, helpless and fragile.
Also, the figure jogging away, staggering, seemed like a petal wet by a rainstorm, trembling one after another, and could be swallowed by the wind and rain at any time, falling on the muddy ground, which was inexplicably pitiful.
When Su Yu saw this, he felt so distressed that he couldn't care about anything else.
At the moment, he had only one idea, to catch up, take this tough little white flower under his wings, and take good care of it.
The male educated youth who arrived a little later happened to have overheard the entire incident. Their eyes immediately lit up with gossip, and the same thought suddenly crossed their minds: Could it be that Liu Zhiqing is dating someone? And the person he's dating is from the village, so Su Yu looked like she was being cheated on last night?
They looked at each other, then quickened their pace in tacit understanding and caught up.
They don't like to join in the fun, but they also have to score points, don't they?
Moreover, if Su Yu and Liu Niannian start dating after all this commotion, then is there a possibility for Xie Zhiqing and them too?
When Liu Niannian heard footsteps coming from behind, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
Xie Jiaojiao, did you see it?
The man you have tried so hard to get but can't get, to me, Liu Niannian, is just a dog that will wag its tail and beg for mercy at the touch of a finger.
"Nian Nian, wait for me."
Su Yu was so tired that he was panting. He couldn't understand why Nian Nian, who looked so weak, could run so fast?
This hint of confusion passed by in a flash, and at this moment Su Yu did not notice anything wrong.
Hearing Su Yu's heavy breathing after running such a short distance, Liu Niannian secretly cursed him as a waste.
But seeing that Xie Jiaojiao still didn't appear in front of her, Liu Niannian had to slow down, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked back at Su Yu.
"Su Zhiqing, stop chasing me."
"You are so outstanding, you deserve a better woman."
The physical fatigue and the difficulty in breathing were like a heavy burden pressing on Su Yu, causing a faint resentment to grow in Su Yu.
For a moment, Su Yu began to blame Liu Niannian for being ignorant. Why couldn't she just stand up and say what she wanted to say, but had to run away willfully, making him so tired of chasing her.
But when Liu Niannian turned around, she was heartbroken, trying hard to hold back her tears, but still thinking about him. Su Yu was deeply touched, and instantly felt like he had been injected with chicken blood, and felt that he had endless energy.
Yes, how could he blame Nian Nian?
Nian Nian and Jiao Jiao are different!
She has such a delicate body, but her character is so strong. She must have her reasons for doing this, and she must be feeling very uncomfortable inside.
How could he blame her?
He must catch up with Nian Nian, hold her in his arms, and comfort her with a gentle voice.
Thinking of this, Su Yu quickened his pace.
Closer and closer.
The moment he grabbed Liu Niannian's arm, Su Yu's mind exploded like fireworks, a blank, yet surprisingly satisfied.
Exhausted, he slowly raised his head and forced a smile at Liu Niannian that he thought was extremely charming.
“Nian Nian…”
Su Yu opened his mouth with a heavy breath, but as soon as he called out "Niannian", his arm was forcefully shaken away by Liu Niannian who turned around.
Su Yu, whose steps were already unsteady, did not expect Liu Niannian to suddenly change his expression and even pushed him away. Su Yu lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Bang!
The heavy object fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust and attracting the attention of people around.
It must be painful to fall to the ground.
But Su Yu seemed unaware of it, and was filled with shock and resentment.
She, how dare she push him?
Su Yu looked up and glared at Liu Niannian angrily, but when he met Liu Niannian's panic-stricken eyes, as if the sky had fallen and she had accidentally done something wrong, her trembling body, and her struggle and torment of wanting to reach out and help him up but being hesitant, he felt like a deer being stared at by a tiger. It was obvious that it could not save itself, but it could not help but feel sorry for the hungry tiger. It looked so pitiful that it made people feel soft-hearted.
Nian Nian, she must have her own reasons.
"Nian Nian, why did you push me?"
Su Yu looked at Liu Niannian with anticipation, waiting for a reasonable explanation from her. It seemed that as long as Liu Niannian told her her difficulties, Su Yu would let bygones be bygones and forgive her generously.
Under Su Yu's hopeful gaze, Liu Niannian glanced fearfully at Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Ye behind her, then with a cold face, uttered words that were completely cold and broke Su Yu's heart into pieces.
"Su Zhiqing, men and women should not touch each other, please respect yourself."
Liu Niannian said heartless words, and her eyes were filled with sadness and helplessness, as if she was forced to do so.
After receiving the message from Liu Niannian, Su Yu followed her gaze and, as expected, saw the figures of Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Ye.
He understood something instantly, clenched his fists, and asked angrily, "Niannian, did someone force you to do this?"
"No, it's not."
"It has nothing to do with Jiaojiao."
"Jiaojiao, she, she..." Liu Niannian hesitated, "Su Zhiqing, don't ask so many questions. It really has nothing to do with Jiaojiao."
The more Liu Niannian said this, the more Su Yu felt that it was just as he had guessed. He clenched his fists unconsciously, and felt even more disgusted with Xie Jiaojiao's unreasonableness.
But when he thought about what he was going to do next, he stared at Xie Jiaojiao, revealing the humiliation of being coerced and unable to resist.
Seeing that the hatred he had aroused was successfully transferred to Xie Jiaojiao, a faint smile appeared in Liu Niannian's eyes.
Liu Niannian seemed to think the fire was not burning vigorously enough, so she added four or five more pieces of dry firewood into it.
"Su Zhiqing, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, please call me Liu Zhiqing or Comrade Liu from now on."
"Niannian is a name used by those close to you, but you, and you..." Liu Niannian bit her lip and closed her eyes to hide the pain in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were cold and solemn: "Just a stranger."
When dry wood meets open flame, it crackles and burns, just like the anger rising in Su Yu's heart, burning fiercely.
At this moment, Su Yu wanted to turn hostile and leave, but her trouser pockets were cleaner than her face, her wrists were empty, and her glasses had half a broken lens...
His feet were like being nailed to the spot by an iron hammer, unable to move at all.
Su Yu bit the tip of his tongue hard until a hint of blood came into his mouth, which calmed him down from his mad anger.
Then, amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Su Yu slowly stood up. He unhurriedly brushed off the dirt on his clothes, reached out to lift the broken frame of his glasses, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a gentle and warm smile.
It was just like the scene when Xie Jiaojiao first met Su Yu, beautiful and dreamy.
