Xia Wan hurried back to the dormitory.
There is one physical education class every week, followed by a full hour and a half of break time, where students can take a shower, change clothes, and then go back to the classroom to study on their own for an hour before school is over.
There was still plenty of time, so Xia Wan draped the bath towel she was wearing on a chair, then went into the bathroom and looked down.
As expected.
Maybe it was because of the physical discomfort, plus the fact that I had just gone into the water, my period came early this month.
This is a very troublesome thing.
After realizing this, Xia Wan simply took a shower and quickly washed and hung the pair of sports pants.
Fortunately, her sportswear was dark in color, so it wasn't too obvious, and she was covered with a bath towel, otherwise she would have been exposed and socially dead on the way back.
Before she had time to blow-dry her hair, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Wan quickly returned to her seat, locked the closet containing the sanitary napkins, swallowed a painkiller, and then opened the door.
However, to Xia Wan's surprise, the person standing at the door was Jiang Yushi.
The young man lowered his head, and it was obvious that he had just changed his clothes after taking a shower. However, like Xia Wan, he did not have time to blow-dry his hair. The two of them just looked at each other, like two chickens drowned in soup who had just changed their clothes.
Jiang Yushi had a loose black sweatshirt on his thin shoulders. Water droplets rolled down his hair and dripped onto his collarbone, and finally fell completely into the sweatshirt, adding a rare sense of softness to his whole person.
Xia Wan looked him over and asked, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Yushi looked at Xia Wan and asked cautiously, almost showing weakness: "I took another bath because of you, so you still refuse to let go?"
Xia Wan could only explain to him: "I mean, why did you come here first? I was going to come find you after I finished blow-drying my hair, but since you came to find me, you should talk first."
When their eyes met, Jiang Yushi's gaze was obviously evasive again.
When the words come to your lips, it takes some courage to say them.
Xia Wan said, "Come in and sit down first, and then we'll talk after we've thought it over."
Jiang Yushi followed Xia Wan into her dormitory, then touched his own hair which had not been blown dry, and pulled away a chair which was closer to him.
Xia Wan pretended not to see him and continued wiping her hair in front of the mirror at the sink.
Perhaps it was because of this indifference that Jiang Yushi, who was sitting there alone, finally mustered up the courage to speak up and said, "I admit that I was quite anxious. I just wanted to say sorry to you. It was my fault that I angered you."
Xia Wan naturally knew all this, and said straight to the point: "Song Zhili has told me everything about you."
Jiang Yushi lowered his eyelashes, then raised them again after a few seconds and smiled, "I know, and I should thank him. It may take some courage for me to say these things in person."
"Since you've already said sorry to me, there's no point in me saying the same thing again." Xia Wan said as if she was thinking seriously, and then said, "Then I'll say thank you to you. Thank you for worrying about me just now, and thank you for helping me in the end even though you were angry."
Xia Wan said this and smiled faintly in the direction of Jiang Yushi.
Eyes met.
Jiang Yushi suddenly lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.
The boy sat there alone, looking lonely and fragile.
There was light at the window, and he was in shadow.
He spoke in a hoarse voice: "Actually... Song Zhili doesn't know everything. No one knows."
Xia Wan was stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment. She could only walk over and pat Jiang Yushi on the shoulder.
Suddenly, Jiang Yushi raised his head and grabbed her wrist again.
His hands were white and slender like jade, but because he used too much force, even the knuckles were a little white.
But those peach blossom eyes were obviously red at this moment.
Xia Wan directly stretched out her other hand to cover Jiang Yushi's eyes. She also understood what he was thinking and said, "If you want to vent, just say it all out. You need someone to talk to after such a long time. Don't worry, I won't see you cry this way."
Of course, this was like covering one's ears with a bell, because she could feel the wetness in her palms and the light but itchy feeling of it brushing against her eyelashes.
But Jiang Yushi smiled, and his pale lips finally seemed to have a hint of redness.
"Actually, my brother is not a very good swimmer. Like you, he has rarely been to the deep end of the pool. But in my eyes, he has always been like a hero. I think my brother is the most powerful and omnipotent. He is the person I admire the most." Jiang Yushi paused and continued, "So that day, before he went into the river to save people, he was actually... a little hesitant. But I saw that the little boy was crying so pitifully, so I said: Brother, help him."
Having said this, Jiang Yushi's hand on Xia Wan's wrist slowly loosened and fell to his side almost powerlessly.
He still kept his head down, but his voice became lower and lower.
"If it weren't for me, my brother might not have had the courage to save people, and he might still be alive in this world."
Therefore, the person who killed his brother could be the little boy or himself.
After a long time, Jiang Yushi did not receive Xia Wan's response.
Just when he wanted to look up at Xia Wan, Xia Wan let go of her hand, picked up the towel and covered Jiang Yushi's head with it, as if she was wiping his hair, or shaking his head.
Xia Wan's voice was filled with confusion. "I say, you are out of your mind, right? Let me shake it and see. What nonsense are you thinking about? What does this have to do with you?
Your brother was willing to jump into the water to save people because he was kind, and you wanted your brother to help because of your kindness, but it was the boy's stupidity, deception, and unconscious evil that led to all this tragedy. In this world, kindness is never wrong, and the wrong thing is those who take advantage of others' kindness. "
As Xia Wan spoke, she thought that she couldn't really keep pressing on someone's head, so she took the towel and wiped his hair.
Then she continued, "Actually, I feel a little sorry for you. If your brother were still alive, I know he would be an interesting and gentle person like you."
"...gentle?"
Jiang Yushi seemed surprised that someone would use this word to describe him, and whispered, "Before, when people said gentle, they were describing Song Zhili."
"You two are alike, but also different." Xia Wan thought about it seriously and replied, "Song Zhili's gentleness is more like the result of his upbringing. He takes care of everyone and is thorough without any mistakes. He seems to be tolerant of everything and polite enough. And your gentleness is the existence without a sense of distance. From the first day I came to Shengying, you had no hostility towards me. I also knew that Wei Chiyan hated me at first, and you said a lot of good things for me. It was because you were willing to accept me that I was able to integrate into everyone so quickly.
Jiang Yushi, I feel very lucky to be your friend. "
What Xia Wan said was also true.
If Jiang Yushi had not been willing to complain about Wei Chiyan's ball skills with her at the beginning, she would still be a little overwhelmed when facing such a task in an unfamiliar environment.
She knew she would be disliked, but she was reluctant to make friends with these people. However, because Jiang Yushi had always been very friendly to her, she relaxed.
To be honest, Xia Wan sometimes almost forgot the tasks assigned to her by the system, because she is living a good life now and is comfortable and happy every day.
"I didn't know you could talk so corny. Who said they wanted to be friends with you? Why are you as self-righteous as Wei Chiyan?" Jiang Yushi said this without any scolding in his voice, but his ears turned red.
He wiped his hair with a towel and walked out awkwardly.
The door was closed.
At the same time, the system sound rang again.
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host]
【2/4 of the mission completed】
Looking at the closed door, Xia Wan was somewhat surprised.
She originally just wanted to comfort Jiang Yushi, but she didn't expect to complete the mission directly? Isn't this too easy?
Yes, after all, he told her secrets that even Song Zhili didn't know. It was obvious that he treated her as a friend.
But Jiang Yushi said he was unwilling, but in fact he still gave it to him for free?
This is about the same level of difficulty as Wei Chiyan. Are all high school boys so easily impressed?
So Xia Wan boasted to the system in her heart: "See? You have completed half of your mission."
The system is the way [the real difficulty is in the back]
Xia Wan also understood this.
She thought that after helping Song Zhili in the public toilet that day, their relationship would be further developed, but in the end, apart from that hug, there was almost no change.
The easier someone seems to get along with, the more defensive they are in fact.
And there is also the legendary F4, who has never appeared yet, has zero progress, and has absolutely no understanding of them.
But Xia Wan didn't think too much about it now, because the knock on the door rang again.
Xia Wan opened the door and asked curiously, "Jiang Yushi? Do you have anything else to say?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was somewhat surprised to find that the person at the door was not Jiang Yushi.
Wei Chiyan and Xu Yaoyao stood there, one on the left and one on the right.
The hero and heroine finally fell in love? No, they should meet their parents together instead of meeting her together, right?
Xia Wan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Isn't this the boys' dormitory?"
"Yes." Wei Chiyan walked in directly and said, "I saw her waiting downstairs for a long time. I asked her and found out that she wanted to see you, so I brought her up to you."
Wei Chiyan patted Xia Wan's shoulder hard as he spoke, with a look on his face that said: Brother, am I nice enough?
Xia Wan: “…”
Sure enough, she shouldn't have had any illusions about him.
Looking at Xu Yaoyao who was obviously still very weak, Xia Wan quickly let her in.
Wei Chiyan had already sat down beside Xia Wan's bed, looking as if he was waiting to see something interesting happen.
Xu Yaoyao bowed earnestly to Xia Wan and said, "If it weren't for you, I might have died in the swimming pool today. You have helped me so many times. Thank you so much."
Wei Chiyan replied slowly from behind: "For saving your life? That's a big deal, how about repaying it with your body?"
Wei Chiyan is really dedicated to matchmaking every day.
He is pulling his wife and the vicious female supporting role together.
Xu Yaoyao's face turned red in an instant.
Xia Wan glared at Wei Chiyan to signal him to stop talking nonsense, and then quickly said to Xu Yaoyao: "Don't listen to his nonsense, just be sure you're fine. By the way, how did you fall? Did you have an argument with someone?"
"I'm not sure."
Xu Yaoyao shook her head, a little hesitant but still said: "It seems like someone... pushed me."
Xia Wan continued to ask, "Is it a girl wearing Shengyu school uniform?"
Xu Yaoyao seemed to know who Xia Wan was talking about. She just nodded and said, "She and I did have a little argument."
Wei Chiyan obviously didn't understand and asked, "Why? How could you, with your weak appearance, come into conflict with anyone?"
The expression on Xu Yaoyao's face was even more complicated.
Xia Wan saw through it, so she said directly: "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Song Zhili will find out everything."
"Yes." Wei Chiyan also nodded and said, "I contacted Grandpa after I found out. This matter also involves Shengying. Grandpa said he would intervene."
Xu Yaoyao nodded, then looked at Xia Wan's still wet hair and said, "The class starts in half an hour, you should blow dry your hair first."
What Xu Yaoyao said made sense, so Xia Wan opened the closet and wanted to look for a new towel.
Who let Jiang Yushi take her towel away!!!
Wei Chiyan was a little confused. He directly picked up the bath towel on Xia Wan's chair and asked, "What else do you want? Isn't there something ready here..."
Wei Chiyan paused before he finished speaking, looking at the red spot on the bath towel with a look of confusion and bewilderment, and asked, "What is this? Is it blood?"
The white bath towel with a touch of red is extremely eye-catching.
At this moment, Xia Wan's brain froze.
Damn, I was careless.
How did you get on this?
There was not a single wound on her body, and there was no explanation for it.
And the next step is wrong, and all the steps are wrong.
Xia Wan only looked at the bath towel in Wei Chiyan's hand and completely forgot about the sanitary napkin she had just put into the closet.
The moment a pack of sanitary napkins was accidentally dropped by her and rolled to the ground, Xia Wan's heart was truly dead.
Men's bedroom, blood, sanitary napkins.
These three keywords put together can only be described as outrageous.
Originally, if the towel was accidentally stained with blood, one could explain it away by saying it was a nosebleed or something like that, but now that obviously doesn't work.
Wei Chiyan and Xu Yaoyao also widened their eyes at the same time, and neither of them could believe what they saw.
Xia Wan's mind was also blank, and she even began to imagine the scene of her identity being discovered and being kicked out of Shengying.
How long has it been? She couldn't be exposed so early, especially in front of the dumbest Wei Chiyan?
No, no, no, it hasn’t come to that yet. Stay calm. Stay calm.
Just a few seconds passed, but to Xia Wan it seemed like half a lifetime had passed.
Xia Wan licked her lips which had become dry and cracked without knowing when, and decided to fight again, saying: "Actually..."
Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly interrupted by Wei Chiyan.
He looked at the table in front of him, then at the towel in his hand, and then he seemed to suddenly understand something and said, "Isn't this Su Qi's seat?"
Xia Wan: “!!!”
At that moment, Xia Wan felt that she was saved, and the two points in her mind seemed to be connected by a thread.
Last time, Wei Chiyan accidentally knocked down the comic book on Su Qi's desk, she took the blame for Su Qi and said that it was hers.
So in Wei Chiyan's eyes, her and Su Qi's tables and chairs were actually reversed.
So now, it was natural for Su Qi to take the blame for her.
Wei Chiyan looked at the bag of sanitary napkins on the ground, still unable to understand: "Could it be that that also belongs to Su Qi? No, that's not right, but it clearly fell out of your closet."
The two wardrobes are connected and placed together by the window.
So Xia Wan pushed all the pots to Su Qi without hesitation and said, "It's Su Qi, yes, it's Su Qi. He was afraid of being seen, so he hid here with me!"
This explanation seems reasonable at first glance.
But Wei Chiyan still couldn't understand, and a confused look appeared on his face several times as he said: "Why does Su Qi use women's things... and could there be something on this bath towel..."
Wei Chiyan didn't finish his words and immediately threw the bath towel back onto the chair with a look of disgust.
"Yes, that's what you think." Xia Wan's face was serious, with a hint of sadness in it, and a hint of unbearable twitching at the corners of her lips as she said, "There is only one truth."
Wei Chiyan and Xu Yaoyao looked at her again.
Xia Wan took a deep breath, seeming a little embarrassed, but still said: "Su Qi is indeed -
Got, got, hemorrhoids, and abscesses. "
Wei Chiyan: “!?”
Xu Yaoyao: “…”
The author has something to say:
Sue Mo Ming Qi Miao Bei Guo Qi: I really didn’t offend any of you (smile)
Song Zhili and Su Qi, two normal people, are getting further and further down the road of being misunderstood (?) Why not form an Avengers alliance (?)
