Zhumian reached out and turned off the screen without responding to the other party, and also cut off Shi Wang's sight.
She seemed nonchalant and continued to chat and clink glasses with everyone. Shi Wang looked at her and suddenly felt that the distance between them was a little far.
She drank a little too much during her daytime nap, so she propped up her head and watched everyone playing finger-guessing games. She was already very sleepy and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Just as Shi Wang was about to support her, she fell onto the table, and at the last moment she consciously leaned towards the side away from him.
Hua Yan's message popped up again: "If it's convenient, can you pick up Miss Zhou to watch the fireworks together?"
The news unsurprisingly jumped into Shi Wang's sight.
Calling her Miss Zhou showed that they were not that familiar with each other, but he still asked her to watch the fireworks.
A pursuer?
But he couldn't even guess the extent of the familiarity between the suitor and her.
What does she think of this suitor?
Shi Wang took off his coat and covered her with it, but she suddenly woke up from her nap.
Shi Wang's long crow-feather eyelashes drooped, his eyes fixed on her, and he whispered, "What's wrong?"
However, he pinched the clothes with two fingers and threw it back to him, then fell down and continued to sleep.
Shi Wang couldn't help but smile. Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, he wanted to reach out and touch her but didn't dare.
He lowered his eyes to look at her, and the noises around him seemed to quiet down. As long as he could look at her like this, it was fine.
At least she was with him at this moment.
Now she stands out too much.
She is the moon among the stars, and that’s exactly the right thing to do.
The moonlight will shine on him, but it will not be his alone.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and was about to leave, they discovered that Zhuomian was drunk: "Hey, the junior is drunk. Does anyone know where she lives? Let's take her back."
Shi Wang gently lifted her head up: "She and I live in the same neighborhood. I'll take her home."
Lu Tiao quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm worried about you sending us off alone, let's go together."
She woke up from her nap and slapped Shi Wang's hand away. "It's okay. I'll ask my assistant to pick me up. I'll wait at the school gate."
Zhou Mian opened WeChat and sent a message to the assistant at the top, asking her to pick her up from school.
She picked up her bag and tried to hang it on her body, but she seemed unable to tell things from near and far, and could not hang it on herself. Shi Wang took it and held it for her.
Chen Huai seemed to be drunker than he was sleeping during the day. He kept his arm around Zheng Xingying's shoulders and said he wanted to go to his dormitory to sleep.
Zheng Xingying had no choice but to carry him on her shoulders: "Your fresh meat mooncakes, half a box each, don't forget to take them."
Shi Wang picked up a box and carried her bag, and wanted to help her, but Xiao Mian pushed him away: "I don't want you to help me."
Shi Wang gently advised her: "I'll take you back."
Xiaomian just took her bag off him and said, "I don't want you to send me off."
Shi Wang felt a little sad: "Why?"
Xiaomian finally put on his bag and said, "I don't want to see you."
She ran away immediately, as if she was afraid of getting dirty. When she reached the flower bed downstairs, she sat down again for some unknown reason.
Shi Wang followed and asked: "Why aren't you leaving again?"
Zhuomian suddenly started crying on the side of the road.
Shi Wang was somewhat bewildered and squatted down to look at her: "What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden? Is it okay if I don't send you off?"
Zhumian said viciously: "Men are not good things, money is the good thing."
She looked so cute that Shi Wang couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay, money is a good thing. So what gift do you want for your birthday this year?"
Zhumian glanced at him disdainfully and said, "I want a clock."
Shi Wang didn't understand: "Zhong?"
Zhumian looked up at the NUS bell tower, just like the one at No. 13 Middle School. “I’m going to ring the bell as loud as I can, for everyone to hear. I want to tell them I can do it myself, without anyone’s help.”
Shi Wang didn't understand what she meant, but suddenly an idea struck him: "Does it have anything to do with me ringing the bell before?"
But Zhumian just thought it was ridiculous: "Be it the clock or the peace plaque, they all seem so insignificant."
Shi Wang said softly, "Zhou Mian, can I ask you a question?"
His eyes were deep, and the breeze ruffled his black hair: "Is it possible that you still like me?"
Zhumian lay on his knees, his tone as cold as a jade that had just been through a cold water bath: "Why do you always bring up the past?"
The white hem of his clothes fluttered gently in the thick night breeze: "Because I regret it very much. I regret not liking you, and I regret not responding to you."
His eyes were filled with mixed emotions, but he didn't want her to see it.
Lumian is merciless: "Have you ever heard a saying that delayed affection is cheaper than grass?"
His breathing was slightly tense.
She raised her eyes, her beautiful yet distant crescent eyes resting on him, and she faced everything calmly: "I really liked you before. You beat up the teacher who sexually harassed me, and I was really moved. I thought you were a hero. But now I also really hate you because later you became the one who bullied me. What's the difference between you and him?"
Shi Wang's heart seemed to be held tightly by her own hands, so tightly that it seemed to bleed, and the night seemed to turn cold in an instant.
Xiaomian showed no mercy and wanted to cut off his love once and for all: "I don't like you now, I will move on to someone better."
Shi Wang endured the pain in his heart and asked: "Do you have someone you like now?"
But Xiao Meng did not answer.
Every word he said, every breath he took, seemed to sting him: "Can you have a little bit of affection for me, so that I can change?"
But Xiaomian knew clearly: "You won't change. You don't know how to respect others."
Shi Wang humbly asked, "Can I do it now?"
His proud spine seemed to slowly soften, and he looked at her seriously: "I have money and I'm very obedient, so you can't like me anymore?"
But Xiaomian whispered, "There are many obedient and wealthy men, why choose you?"
Shi Wang knew that she would stab him back, but he still said gloomily: "Because I like you."
When he thought about the past during his sleep, he just felt funny: "Like?"
Such cheap love, not worth much.
Hua Yan received the message "Come to the school to pick me up", and when he arrived at NUS, this was the scene he saw.
Zhu Mian was sitting by the flower bed, with a young man squatting in front of her, listening to her attentively.
Shi Wang wasn't drunk, he was quite sober. It was precisely when he was sober that he felt the sting more clearly. He would rather have been drunk. He said humbly, "I'll listen to you, isn't that okay?"
Xiaomian said directly: "No, I admire the strong. I like men who are at the top of the pyramid to obey me and submit to me. Now you are not the one at the top of the pyramid for me, so your obedience is useless. Even if you are obedient, it will not satisfy your desire to conquer."
Hua Yan looked at her from afar, his blue-gray pupils fixed in his long eyes, as if a faint fire was burning on the barren grassland.
Shi Wang finally dared to ask what he hadn't dared to ask before: "So you chose the peak, not the ridge, right?"
Daytime sleep didn't leave him any room for negotiation: "Whether I choose the peak or not, I will never choose the ridge again."
