Chapter 16: Speed of Resolving Misunderstandings
Chapter 16: Speed of Resolving Misunderstandings
Chi Shu really wanted to be brave and take this step.
But those painful, embarrassing and lonely days and nights are still vivid in my mind when I recall them unintentionally. They are like a thorn. Although it has been a long time, it can always prick people's hearts inadvertently, bringing blood and tears, causing them great pain.
So when she accidentally saw two figures, one sitting and the other standing opposite each other, talking intently, she retreated even more involuntarily.
After all, the moon under the sea is also the moon in the sky, and it deserves a better destination.
That day, Chi Shu received a notice from President Bai Yiqing to go to the multifunctional classroom for literary activities to pick up her poetry collection. However, as she stepped through the back door of the classroom, she was suddenly stopped by the incomparable scene and stood there in a daze.
After a while, she walked silently to the chair in the corner near the door and sat quietly, forgetting the reason why she came to the classroom. She just covered her face with one hand and supported her chin with the back of her hand with the other hand, watching silently and lost in thought.
When they reached the familiar sitting figure, a graceful figure bent over across a table and chair raised her head and looked at Chi Shu with a puzzled look.
Then he saw the overflowing...love in Chi Shu's eyes?
And then there are those inexplicable feelings: envy? relief? peace of mind?
But he seemed a little sad.
The emotions in those eyes were too complicated. Before the girl could delve into it, let alone say hello, she saw Chi Shu, who had been sitting quietly, avoid her gaze and calmly stand up. When he reached the door, he paused for a moment and then quickly left.
This conditioned reflex reaction left Chi Shu speechless for a moment.
Because of Chi Shu's reaction, the girl didn't pay attention to the conversation with Feng Yichen.
Feng Yichen looked up at the girl at the table, then glanced back in confusion, but didn't see anything wrong. However, he still patiently asked the girl again if she understood the words he had just explained.
The girl turned her gaze to look at Feng Yichen, who had been speaking in a businesslike manner from the beginning until now. She pondered for a moment, then smacked her lips and asked instead of answering, "Hey, Feng Yichen, has anyone ever told you before that you can be quite indifferent sometimes, as if you don't care about anything at all? How come so many girls like you like this? You won't scare them, will you?"
Seeing Feng Yichen's expression change slightly in an instant, yet he remained indifferent to the situation, the girl couldn't help but tease him, "Just now, there was a girl... who seemed to have run away secretly with a lot on her mind."
As the last word fell, Feng Yichen's expression suddenly changed.
A figure suddenly appeared in Feng Yichen's mind, but he didn't want to ask any more questions. No matter which possibility it was, he didn't want that person to misunderstand him and then watch him hide in a corner alone licking his wounds like a wounded deer.
He suddenly stood up and moved aside, apologizing and saying that he would explain it again next time if he had the chance, while packing up his books and walking out. But he knew in his heart that there would never be another opportunity like this.
But when he walked to the podium, he picked up another collection of poems.
Walking in the corridor outside the classroom, Feng Yichen anxiously sent a message asking where the person who had retreated was now.
Then, at a glance, he could tell that the person in the chat box was giving a perfunctory answer.
If what just happened was true, how could that person still go to the cafeteria, let alone eat?
He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and sent a voice message revealing his weakness: "Chi Shu, if you are trying to put me off, I have no other choice but to look for you everywhere with a collection of poems."
This time he got the correct answer.
Feng Yichen regrouped and walked towards the pavilion calmly. However, his hurried steps had already revealed his inner restlessness.
Finally arriving at the pavilion in the forest, Feng Yichen stared at the lonely figure sitting sideways and gazing into the distance without blinking, and climbed the stairs step by step. Then he stood in front of the person, staring at her in silence for a moment, and then handed the poetry collection in his hand to her.
Chi Shu stretched out his hand to take it, but the person in front of him did not let go.
Feng Yichen's eyes lingered on her face for a moment and said, "Did you go to the classroom to pick up the poetry collection just now?"
Chi Shu nodded slightly and said "hmm".
Feng Yichen still didn't let go: "Then... why did you leave first?"
This time, Chi Shu did not respond, and his movements seemed to be frozen.
Feng Yichen's gentle gaze moved slowly, and finally he could only sigh helplessly, loosen his fingertips, and sit down on the bench next to Chi Shu.
He tilted his head to assess Chi Shu's condition, and after a moment, he spoke carefully:
"The girl just now is also from the study group. She received a notice to come pick up the poetry collection. She just happened to be free when I happened to be available, so she asked me for some advice on analyzing the words and sentences in the poems. That's all."
Upon hearing this, Chi Shu was a little surprised and thought: Is he... explaining what happened just now?
But she didn't ask, she just nodded with a smile on her face to show that she understood.
Of course she knew, because she and that girl had once "intersected" by chance.
As for leaving alone just now, it was only because I was mesmerized by the scene in the classroom. I inexplicably felt that it was a good match and harmonious, and for a moment I felt a little ashamed of myself.
Feng Yichen saw that her cloudy days had turned sunny, and thought that everything was fine, so he put his mind at ease and started talking to her about this collection of poems.
Feng Yichen has been like this ever since they met and became familiar with each other in high school. He particularly likes this kind of pleasant time chatting about literature with Chi Shu, or rather, he particularly enjoys it.
Because it allowed him to glimpse into another world in the literary world.
Now, this allows him to take a moment to breathe amidst the double pressure of busy studies and boring and complex business information.
Of course, what made him feel even more relaxed and happy was the moment when he was with Chi Shu without any burden.
Although he was not a person who was fond of romance, he was extremely grateful and satisfied to have Chi Shu in his small world.
