Chapter 80 Marshmallows on the Clouds



Chapter 80 Marshmallows on the Clouds

Lin Shuliang was walking on the road angrily. Shen Xinghe knew where she had class, so he followed the path she took to find her. Unexpectedly, she looked like she didn't want to be approached by strangers.

She didn't even notice Shen Xinghe beside her.

"You seem quite angry. I'll take you to drink some iced milk tea to calm you down."

She thought he was trying to flirt with her again, so she didn't look at him and just quickened her pace.

Seeing that she ignored him, Shen Xinghe grabbed her wrist.

She shook it off and asked, "What are you doing?"

The force was so strong that with a muffled sound, Shen Xinghe's hand was hit on the tree trunk next to him, his skin was scratched, and there was a faint trace of blood.

She turned around and saw Shen Xinghe holding back the pain. She smiled and said, "You don't need to do that, do you? It's just a greeting."

"Why is it you? Are you okay?" She came back with her long legs, took out a wet tissue and helped him clean the wound. "I didn't mean to do that. I was just in a bad mood."

"Such a small injury is nothing to a grown man like me." Shen Xinghe took the wet tissue from her hand and said, "Tell me, why are you in such a bad mood? Even if I buy you milk tea, it won't calm you down."

"Take me out for dinner and I'll tell you, there's a good hot pot restaurant in our school."

"No problem, let's go." His wound was not serious, just a little skin breakage.

I remember when she was in her senior year of high school, she was tripped by Xu Chen. Shen Xinghe was so anxious that he hurried to buy a Band-Aid. His expression is still vivid in my mind.

Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty, "Your hand... I'm really sorry."

She was so angry at Li Panxi that she would have fainted, otherwise she would have recognized Shen Xinghe's voice earlier.

"If you really feel guilty, then pledge yourself to me." Shen Xinghe said with a smile.

Being able to say this meant that it was not too serious. They passed by the infirmary, and Lin Shuliang went in to buy a medical Band-Aid and found a chair to sit down.

"Don't move. Put on a Band-Aid to prevent the wound from getting infected." As she put on the bandage and blew on it, Shen Xinghe looked at her calmly.

"It's done, let's go."

Shen Xinghe admired her masterpiece and asked, "You are so nice to me, are you really not planning to be my girlfriend?"

"Shen Xinghe, can you be more normal? Can't we communicate normally like before?"

He thought about it seriously, hesitated for a long time, and said with a smile: "No."

"Why?"

"I've wasted too much time saying I like you."

Lin Shuliang placed her hands on the bag, tightened them, and then relaxed them, "But..."

"Don't refuse. I don't want to hear it. Let's go. I'll treat you to a nice meal." As he spoke, he had already walked ahead. He looked down at her using his height advantage. "Don't you want to leave?"

Lin Shuliang took a small step back and walked around him. "Why don't you leave?"

The setting sun lengthened the shadows, and their shadows seemed to be leaning against each other.

The food smelled delicious, but Lin Shuliang had no appetite. Shen Xinghe simply stopped eating, "I'm going to the station soon. Can't you just have a good meal with me?"

"You guys are leaving? Didn't they move here for the school celebration?"

"You." Shen Xinghe held up the chopsticks and pretended to hit her. "We are just here to try it out. We are not sure when we will move in. Anyway, it is impossible for us to move in this semester."

The boss brought them the last dish and said, "This is an activity in our restaurant. Couples will get a free dish when they dine together."

These words come at the right time.

Shen Xinghe answered first, "Thank you."

She thought for a moment and said, "I thought you were not leaving."

"Can't bear to leave me?"

"No!" She shook her head vigorously. "I wish you a safe journey."

They were eating fish hot pot. Shen Xinghe picked up the fish for her and did not forget to pick out the fish bones. "I wish you good luck. Tell me why you were unhappy just now."

Thinking of Li Panxi, she became even more restless. How could there be such a person? It was not a glorious thing, and she could not explain it in a few words. She just said, "It's nothing. It's just that someone I particularly dislike came to me and insisted on sitting next to me in class. I was very unhappy."

It was true, but she wasn't that angry.

"It's better not to say it." Shen Xinghe knew that she was not telling the truth.

He picked up the largest piece of fish from the pot and put it on his plate. He picked it out bit by bit, and when he was sure it was clean, he passed his plate to Lin Shuliang and continued to pick up dishes from Lin Shuliang's empty plate.

He has always been like this, taking good care of her, afraid of being inconsiderate in any way, but he had not been so blatant before, but now he did it directly on the table.

"Stop it. I've eaten a lot, and you haven't eaten anything. Take care of yourself first." Lin Shuliang took a little back and said, "It's delicious. Try it."

He ate it obediently, "Well, the one you picked up has a different taste."

“……”Can you please speak properly?

After paying the bill, Lin Shuliang offered to take him to the station, but he refused, "I'm afraid you'll miss me so much that you'll cry all the way back, which would be bad."

It was too late to ask now. Lin Shuliang said, "Are you serious about liking me?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because we have been together for so long, so long that no one would realize that it is love, it is just friendship. Besides, I always feel that you would not be attracted to me. At least you have to like the gentle and sweet type." She racked her brains to think of an adjective.

Shen Xinghe laughed and wiped his hands with a tissue. "You have all the looks I like, so I don't have to specifically decide what type I like."

"..." She couldn't continue.

I had a lot to say and a lot to ask, but I was always blocked by his sweet words.

When they were really about to leave, Shen Xinghe hugged her. She wanted to push him away, but she heard him say in her ear: "Don't move. The night before the college entrance examination, I made up a lie about bugs just to hug you. Now I can finally hug you openly. Don't push me away."

It turned out that there were no so-called bugs on her body that day.

Lin Shuliang had a pleasant smell on her body that made him feel calm. He breathed in greedily, wanting to keep the smell a little longer.

He let go of Lin Shuliang, straightened her hair that was messed up by the wind, and said, "Actually, I don't know how to pursue girls, but I just don't want to hear any rejection from you. Even if you don't like it, don't take it to heart."

Is this an apology for specifically interrupting her?

She was looking at her toes, then raised her head and said, "No, hurry up, you will miss the bus later."

He walked away, looking back every few steps, until he could no longer see Lin Shuliang at the corner, and then he stopped looking back.

Somehow, Lin Shuliang felt her eyes were a little swollen and misty.

Then, the phone in her bag vibrated. She took it out and saw a message from Shen Xinghe: Don't cry, I'm just leaving temporarily.

She put the phone back and sniffed, "I'm not crying."

She stood there for two seconds and then ran away. She didn't know why, but she wanted to see Shen Xinghe again. During the time they were apart, she realized how boring it was without Shen Xinghe by her side.

She didn't run far before she saw Shen Xinghe standing there with his hands in his pockets, as if he was waiting for her. He looked so handsome that he could rival the other trees beside him.

She ran out of breath and bent over to breathe for a while. "Are you waiting for me?"

"Yeah, I just felt that you would come." As he said this, he wiped the sweat from her temples.

Lin Shuliang grabbed his hand and said, "I don't dislike what you said. I don't know why. I get angry when others say it to me. Just now you said you were leaving, and I... I ran away. In fact, I didn't expect you to leave. Tell me, why did I do this?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know." She was confused.

"Then let's verify it." Shen Xinghe raised the corners of his lips.

Shen Xinghe took his left hand out of his pocket, leaving his right hand in his pocket. He put his left hand on the back of her head, leaned over, looked into her eyes, and moved closer to her slightly open red lips.

She knew what Shen Xinghe was going to do. Her heart beat faster as if it was going to jump out of her throat. Her hands tightly grasped the corner of her clothes.

Later, when someone asked Lin Shuliang what her first kiss felt like, she always said, "It was like being on a soft cloud, eating sweet cotton candy. Everything was so soft."

She didn't dislike Shen Xinghe, and even liked his kiss a little.

Only the sound of her heartbeat could be heard, and all other noises disappeared.

Shen Xinghe just touched her lips lightly. He was also very nervous, afraid that Lin Shuliang would dodge away, but she didn't, and Shen Xinghe became even more nervous.

He leaned against the tree trunk, not daring to look at Lin Shuliang. "I heard from them that if a girl doesn't like a guy, she won't accept his kiss."

Lin Shuliang's face was now redder than the watermelons in the fruit store. She nodded in a calm manner, "Oh, is that so? I'll go back to the dormitory first."

After saying that, he ran away like the wind.

As soon as she turned around, Shen Xinghe kept taking deep breaths. If he hadn't leaned against the tree, he might have been unable to stand steadily. His legs were weak from excitement, but he didn't want to admit this fact. He smiled foolishly for a long time before moving his feet.

Jiang Yang had been waiting impatiently for a long time. Seeing Shen Xinghe coming over, he said, "Classmate, even if you want to be the boss, you can't do it like this, right? I'll just wait for you alone."

He sat next to Jiang Yang and asked, "Was what you said last night true or false?"

"What's true or false?"

"That's what you said, a girl won't let someone she doesn't like kiss her." He said this seriously and it was a bit funny.

Jiang Yang stopped playing with his phone and asked, "Did you kiss Lin Shuliang?"

"What nonsense! Just answer me."

"Not very motivated." Jiang Yang complained, "Generally speaking, that's the case. From my observation, especially for someone like Lin Shuliang, she won't do that. After meeting her, I feel like she has her own opinions."

Shen Xinghe smiled again, "I understand."

Jiang Yang glanced at him secretly, then sent a message to Luo Yun: Shen Xinghe seems to have made a move on your roommate! It seems they even kissed each other.

When Luo Yun saw the message, the scream he let out was enough to make people within a few miles rely on hearing aids for the rest of their lives.

Lin Shuliang, who was on her way, didn't know yet that Luo Yun's gossip angel would arrive soon.
