Chapter 68
Chapter 68
Rooftop.
A gentle breeze was blowing, and more than half the bottle of red wine had already been gone.
Ye Chuyang: "Shen Qingyuan, actually, not long after the start of my freshman year, I went to Jicheng University to look for you."
Shen Qingyuan was taken aback. "I... I don't remember." She was still processing Ye Chuyang's words, "Shen Qingyuan, you can tell I like you and want to pursue you, right?" She hadn't figured out how to answer.
How could the superior in a relationship know the pain and struggle of the inferior? Ye Chuyang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The sudden change from the small town of Chenyang to Jicheng left Ye Chuyang feeling dazzled. His classmates were mostly handsome men and beautiful women, after all, they were the best selected from all over the country.
At that time, Ye Chuyang didn't feel inferior. He was young and fearless, and he was thinking about bringing glory to his hometown, Chenyang! He puffed out his chest and felt quite honored to be one of them. Those nationally famous stars all started from this school and entered thousands of households through film and television works!
Ye Chuyang: "After the military training ended, I spent some time getting used to university life and had plenty of time. One weekend afternoon, I took the bus to Jicheng University by myself and wandered around aimlessly."
So she went to see it secretly. No wonder Shen Qingyuan had no recollection of it. She's not that rude, and even if she were, her memory wouldn't be that bad.
That must have been the most triumphant time of Shen Qingyuan's life, she thought. She had been admitted to the best medical school in the country from a small town, surrounded by some of the nation's most outstanding and hardworking students. She had every reason to be proud.
Deep down, even after being admitted to Jicheng Film Academy, Ye Chuyang still felt uneasy. He hadn't received systematic art education, and many things required early training. No matter how anxious he was, he couldn't make up for it overnight.
However, his classmates seemed to be able to showcase their talents anytime, anywhere, easily singing and dancing, and quickly mastering their professional courses. In contrast, Ye Chuyang always seemed to have some awkwardness about adapting to the new environment.
An event can only happen in an inevitable way. Therefore, he only dared to secretly visit Shen Qingyuan.
On the rooftop, Ye Chuyang turned his head, gave Shen Qingyuan a deep look, and took a small sip of his drink. Life shouldn't be too reckless; there was filming tomorrow, and logically, he shouldn't be idly chatting here any longer.
But someone insisted that he break with conventional plans.
He also remembered some scenes at Jicheng University, where the greenery and buildings were beautiful, and the young male and female students looked energetic and intelligent.
He inquired about the location of the medical school and even asked about the approximate dormitory area for medical students. He didn't expect to bump into Shen Qingyuan, but deep down he felt a secret excitement. What if? What if he met her? Meeting an old friend in a foreign land! One of the three great joys of life.
They first went to the medical school's office building. It was the weekend, and there were only a few people coming and going. Shen Qingyuan was unlikely to show up.
He then wandered aimlessly around the dormitory area. There were small fruit shops, print shops, and restaurants on both sides of the road, all with somewhat dated decor. Under the shade of the trees, there were also small stalls run by husband and wife, selling fruit and spicy hot pot.
His gaze swept across the area, and he thought that Shen Qingyuan must have appeared near these small shops and stalls. Every week, she might have visited one of the shops, eaten something, and written a few words on the message wall.
Was she alone, or with a female classmate, or... a male classmate?
In a daze, I seemed to really see Shen Qingyuan's figure, right in front of the girls' dormitory building. Sigh, I feel like I'm going a little crazy. Does Shen Qingyuan know witchcraft?
No, that really is Shen Qingyuan!
Her hair had grown much longer, and the freshly dried hair was loosely draped over her shoulders, making her look clean and fresh.
There was a tall boy opposite her, whose face was not clearly visible. The two were facing each other, talking about something. Ye Chuyang didn't know what the boy said, but she saw Shen Qingyuan nod and smile from afar. Her eyes were bright, and her expression was cheerful and carefree.
Ye Chuyang thought at the time that only a smart boy could make her smile like that... Smart people are everywhere here.
He didn't have the courage to step forward and strike up a conversation with Shen Qingyuan in a casual, casual manner. This moment was one of the most frustrating in his life, and he remembered it vividly.
He figured they wouldn't have anything in common, at least not something that would elicit that kind of smile from Shen Qingyuan. She looked at him like she looked at a slow-witted child—no appreciation, and probably no admiration in the future…
I've heard that a young girl's heart is always filled with poetry. Sigh, why is his young heart so bittersweet?
Ye Chuyang smiled. It was already ten years ago; everyone was no longer so young.
I only glanced at you from afar and didn't go up to say hello.
Shen Qingyuan felt guilty. The child must have been hurt by her ruthless attitude back then, and didn't even dare to go up and greet her.
“Um… I’m sorry, Ye Chuyang, maybe I should have handled it more smoothly, more… tactfully back then.”
He immediately said, "Why don't you make it up to me now? I mean, respond to me and be with me."
Shen Qingyuan: "..."
"Shen Qingyuan, you really can't feel it, can you?" He thought Shen Qingyuan should have some premonition, and wouldn't be so confused as she is now.
Shen Qingyuan raised her face, swallowed nervously, and after a few seconds, said, "I'm not completely oblivious, but I'm very puzzled. I think it's most likely just a sudden impulse. You've heard of the suspension bridge effect, right? I think you're probably, most likely, in that situation right now!"
"Um?"
Shen Qingyuan explained: "When a person walks across a suspension bridge with trepidation, their heart will involuntarily beat faster. If they happen to meet another person at this time, they will attribute the increased heart rate caused by this tense and exciting situation to the physiological reaction caused by the other person making their heart flutter, and thus develop feelings for the other person."
Furthermore, we're on the rooftop now, and although it's not a suspension bridge, it's still terrifying enough for someone with a fear of heights.
? ?
"So, you, me, and Xiao Chao, we're a small team, right? We're working on a tough project together (it's tough, you know). During this process, the tension and excitement are making your heart race, and you're mistaking it for love! Also, maybe you've been living this ascetic life for a long time, avoiding women, and it's too stifling..."
She was stopped before she could finish speaking, physically stopped.
Ye Chuyang leaned down and placed a light kiss on Shen Qingyuan's lips, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Before she could react, she felt a sudden lack of oxygen to her brain, and her whole body went limp. A voice inside her said: "It's over, Shen Qingyuan, you're finished. You used to hurt young boys' hearts without a care in the world, now it's your turn!"
Afraid of upsetting her, Ye Chuyang didn't dare to use too much force. Her heart was pounding, and her head was spinning a little. She felt like the rooftop was swaying. It really did look a bit like that wobbly suspension bridge.
The two of them, whose combined age is almost sixty, are acting as nervous as teenagers about their first kiss, even though it's just a simple kiss.
Ye Chuyang has kissed at least eight or ten girls. Apart from being nervous at the beginning of filming and not knowing how to kiss actresses properly, he has never felt this nervous in his life.
The two turned their faces away, frantically digging their toes into the ground in their minds.
Ye Chuyang's mind was blank, but he still felt he had to say something at this moment. "Sorry, I couldn't help myself just now! It might be that suspension bridge effect you mentioned. I need to go back and study it."
Then, he got up from the ground and ran away! He actually ran away!
