Chapter 11
Not knowing whether it was because the light cast over from afar was too hazy, or the atmosphere was just right at this time, Su Orange’s mood began to swell, and at a certain moment she even felt that Zhou Yuchen’s eyes were looking at her with a scorching heat.
Like a lit night light, the overflowing light was brilliant and dazzling.
Su Orange nervously pursed her lips and made a swallowing motion, her fingertips trembled and left his hand, saying, “Sorry.”
Didn’t dare to reach out and touch the pink umbrella again.
Zhou Yuchen’s lips hooked down, gangly smile and said, “Hiding what, and will not eat you.”
His voice was soo and teasing, hearing people’s ears burning, subconsciously, Su Orange raised her hand and pinched her earlobes, as if… this could smooth out the mood a bit.
But in fact, no matter what the use, the heartbeat is still fast, the tip of the heart is also trembling, the back of the neck is sweating, blown by the wind, still feel cold.
She scrunched her neck down, her shell teeth biting her lip, not picking up on what he’d just said, not intentionally not picking up on it, she didn’t know what to say.
Toes lifted and fell, looking at the ground that small mass of shadow dazed, heavenly thought, what the hell is he going to do.
Zhou Yuchen surveyed her, reflected in her eyes was her slightly curved neck, the depths of her eyes crashed into a touch of glistening white, vaguely… seems to have crashed into other places.
He didn’t look into it, only the corners of his lips lifted in a bit more of an arc.
“I didn’t remember the class schedule you told me about the other day.” He took two steps forward, stopping a hand’s distance away from her, leaning his body forward, poking his head out, his face slightly inclined, his thin lips facing the direction of her left ear, speaking extremely slowly, with an unspeakable ambiguity, “Send it to my cell phone in a moment.”
The minty flavor of tobacco mixed with hawthorn flavor and the dampness of the cold wind broke into her nostrils, the impact was too great, Su Orange’s back instantly straightened, as if it had been pressed the freeze-frame button, and she could not move.
Hand tightly clutched the hem of the sweatshirt, out of the corner of her eye glanced at him smiling.
Su Orange: ……
Zhou Yuchen finished, immediately changed his mouth again, “It’s better not to be a while, you send me now.”
He raised his eyebrows, “Where’s your cell phone?”
Su Orange blinked and fished out her cell phone from her pocket, “This.”
After unlocking it and trying a few times to tap into WeChat, Zhou Yuchen smiled and took her phone, “I’ll do it myself.”
“Is the class schedule saved in the photo album?”
“…… Uh-huh.”
He skillfully clicked on WeChat, found his avatar, poked it open, clicked on the album at the bottom, found the class schedule that existed inside, and clicked send.
Then returned Su Orange’s cell phone to her.
Su Orange took the phone in a daze, her thoughts were still in a state of wandering, wanting to ask him why he wanted her class schedule, but timidly did not dare to ask.
Zhou Yuchen put the umbrella in her hand and said, “Thank you.”
“No need to thank you.” Su Orange whispered back.
Zhou Yuchen’s cell phone rang, Zhang Yang asked him when he would be back, there was homework he needed to ask him, Zhou Yuchen said, “Wait.” Then ended the call.
Su Orange should also go back, she pursed her lips, “It’s getting late, I’ll go up first.”
Said, turned around, just took a step, was pulled by the wrist, hot touch from the wrist spread attacked the whole body, as if the body is hot, she swallowed her saliva, “What for?”
“Haven’t given you a thank you gift yet.” Zhou Yuchen said with a light smile.
At this time, their orientation was a little more backlit, and his clear features were even more obscure, but for some reason, his eyes seemed to be brighter, and his eyes were even more burning.
Su Orange lightly bit her lips, “What kind of thank you gift?”
Zhou Yuchen pulled out a glass jar from behind him as if he was doing a trick, filled with a lot of orange candies, he handed it up, “Here, a thank you gift.”
It was Su Orange’s favorite candy.
She reached out and took it, said “thank you”, did not stop, holding the candy jar towards the dormitory building, her steps are floating, thoughts are also floating, always feel like dreaming.
Looking at the candy is like seeing something else, pursed lips did not hold back raised, cheeks on both sides of the lovely pear swirls now.
What does he mean in the end ah?
Deng Deng ascended the stairs, did not go two steps, she stopped, struggled for a moment, and then turned back to walk, just forgot to say goodbye to him, she would like to go and say it.
Under the tree is no longer his figure, Su Orange tilted her head again to look in the distance, when she saw something, the corners of her lightly raised lips slowly lowered, and her almond eyes were devoid of light.
She saw Sun Xia tugging at Zhou Yuchen’s hem, begging him not to break up, and when she saw that he would not let go, she began to cry, hugging his arm and crying.
He was a little impatient and shook off Sun Xia’s hand, Sun Xia hugged up again, pressed against his shoulder and said, “I don’t care, I just won’t break up.”
Su Orange saw this, the strength in her body was instantly gone, she collapsed on the tree behind her, didn’t collect her strength too much, and her back hurt from the impact.
Wanted to not look at them, but couldn’t help it.
Sun Xia also did not know what to say, the boys finally have loosened up, this time did not shrug her off, but fished out something from his pocket and handed it to Sun Xia.
Sun Xia took it and said with a smile, “I knew you still like me.”
The distance was too far, Su Orange didn’t see exactly what it was, like candy or something, probably orange candy.
Orange candy ……
Su Orange had always thought that it was a little secret that belonged to her alone, something that only she could eat, but it turned out that anyone could eat it.
She did not have the mood to look down again, staggered into the dormitory building, with the same downstairs in a different mood, at this time her chest swollen, indescribable difficult.
Those lingering ambiguities were also blown away by the wind, what ambiguities, are all her illusions.
It was her subconscious thoughts after liking it for too long.
This night, Su Orange was doomed to insomnia, the first half of the night was unable to sleep, the second half of the night was disturbed by dreams, she returned to the year of her sophomore year of high school.
Many girls in Beijing North Annex sent love letters to Zhou Yuchen, she also wrote one and stuffed it into his desk, and then for some unknown reason, that letter was gotten by the teacher.
Su Orange initially didn’t know about this, and when she did, she was about to take the midterm exam, and because of this, she did very poorly that time, and was even called to her parents.
Zhou Guiqin reprimanded her after she returned, confiscated her cell phone, and did not allow her to go out on weekends.
The dream continued, in the dream she was crying and begging Zhou Guiqin to let her out, Zhou Guiqin didn’t agree, and Su Liangshu was scolding her ……
The next day, Su Orange was woken up by the alarm clock, opened her eyes and looked at the white walls and curtains she remembered, she is no longer a high school student, she went to college, just that was just a dream, no one can lock her up again.
Zhou Guiqin couldn’t, and Su Liangshu even more so.
Su orange eased her mood, down from the top bunk, took the toiletries and went to the bathroom, the morning time is very tight, she did not delay too long, ten minutes later came out from the bathroom.
Yu Lele also packed up, asked her if she wanted to come along.
Su Orange nodded, “Okay.”
She changed her clothes, went to the pillow to get her cell phone, inadvertently touched the candy jar, joy was just about to hit her heart when she was surprised by the sound outside.
Sun Xia’s friend was calling her, and after Sun Xia answered, the two of them chatted as if no one else was there in the hallway.
“How did you find Zhou Yuchen last night? Did he soften his heart?”
“Pretty much.”
“So there’s a chance?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Xia Xia, I told you that Zhou Yuchen couldn’t forget you, see, I was right.”
“I’ll buy you dinner later.”
“You can’t invite yourself, you have to call Zhou Yuchen.”
“Okay, let’s go together.” Sun Xia said with a smile.
Yu Lele quietly opened the door and looked at it, then closed it and lowered her voice, “Did Sun Xia purposely say this at the door of our dormitory?”
Lin Mai scratched his hair, “Why did she purposely say it in front of our dorm room?”
“Of course it’s because Zhou Yuchen was looking for Orange that night.” Yu Lele skimmed her mouth, “She just deliberately said it to Orange, she’s such a person, her heart is really bad.”
Sun Xia was indeed deliberate, she wanted to let Su Orange know that Zhou Yuchen was still hers.
Su Orange touched her fingers to the candy jar, and didn’t know what she was thinking, after a few seconds, holding the candy jar, she walked to the cabinet, opened the cabinet door, and stuffed the candy jar into the deepest part of the cabinet, blocking it with her clothes, so she couldn’t even see it.
Yu Lele seemed to see something and asked, “Orange, was that sugar just now?”
Su Orange said in a faint voice, “It’s bad sugar.”
Yu Lele reminded, “If it’s bad, you have to throw it away earlier, or it will attract bugs.”
Su Orange closed the cabinet door and pursed her lips, “Well, it’s to be thrown away.”
For three days in a row, every time Zhang Yang called Yu Lele and their dormitory to come out and get together, they were all rejected by Yu Lele for various reasons.
Either her studies were too tight, or she couldn’t finish her homework, or there was a subject research or something, anyway, every time she asked, she didn’t have the time.
Zhang Yang scratched his head and asked Zhou Yuchen, “Brother Sam, we haven’t offended those 608 people recently, right?”
Zhou Yuchen was playing a game, and after hearing Zhang Yang’s words, he paused, “What’s wrong?”
“Every time we call, they don’t come out, I don’t know what’s going on.” Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows, “Brother, why don’t you call.”
Zhou Yuchen, “Me?”
“Yeah.” Zhang Yang hemmed and hawed, “You send WeChat to Su Orange, Su Orange has a soft nature, so if you call, you’ll definitely answer.”
Zhou Yuchen finished the game, exited, clicked into WeChat, poked the cute cat emoji packet avatar, and asked, [What are you busy with?]
Counting up, all his firsts were given to Su Orange, the first time he took the initiative to add a girl’s WeChat, the first time he took the initiative to chat with a girl.
Su Orange’s side did not know what he was busy with, and did not return for a long time.
Zhang Yang asked, “How is it? Any news?”
Zhou Yuchen’s tongue topped his cheeks, a little less satisfied with Su Orange’s attitude, it’s been fifteen minutes, whether she didn’t see it, or she’s not willing to return.
Zhang Yang inclined his head to take a look, and hissed lightly, “Brother Sam, how are you worse off than me, at least Yu Lele still takes care of me, you’re doing well, people don’t care at all.”
After saying that, Zhou Yu Chen gave him a blank stare.
Zhang Yang shrunk his neck, “That, it should be Su Orange who didn’t see it, surely she didn’t mean to not reply to you.”
He raised his elbow and bumped Song Zhou, “Zhou Zhou, do you think so?”
Song Zhou was also WeChatting with Su Orange, Su Orange heard that he read quite a lot of books and asked him where he bought them.
Song Zhou: “Huh? What?”
Zhang Yang: “Who are you tweeting with?”
Song Zhou: “Su Orange.”
Zhang Yang: “……”
Zhang Yang glanced at Zhou Yuchen and asked Song Zhou once more, “Who are you tweeting with again?”
“Su Orange.” Song Zhou said, “She’s looking for me to consult on a book.”
“Su Orange is free to talk to you, but not free to-” Zhang Yang didn’t finish.
Zhou Yuchen’s face immediately darkened as he sent another WeChat to Su Orange.
ZYC: [Where is it?]
This time Su Orange replied back, very officially.
Orange: [Sorry just saw it, I’m busy].
Subtext, no time.
There were still people who could refuse to chat with Zhou Yuchen, not to mention Zhang Yang did not expect it, Zhou Yuchen did not expect it either, and he dialed Su Orange for a voice call.
Su Orange pinched it off and replied: [Not too convenient.]
Zhou Yuchen: ……
Zhou Yuchen’s first time eating a closed door, feeling very bad, Sun Xia came to find him again, he was not in the mood to take into account that the two families have a personal relationship, and directly said, “Don’t pester me in the future.”
He was in front of his classmates directly refused, loud, the classroom people heard, afraid of Sun Xia also engage in other actions, he added: “find the parents are useless, I do not eat that set.”
Sun Xia is considered completely out of the game, back to the dormitory, crying the whole floor heard.
Su Orange went back to the dormitory to change clothes, also heard Sun Xia’s crying, as well as other people’s comments, “Zhou Yuchen can be really good, do not give a little face, said rejected.”
“How long has she been pestering people, this is Zhou Yuchen, someone else would be more ruthless.”
“By the way, I heard that Sun Xia privately went to find Zhou Yuchen’s parents, even his parents did not let go, do not blame him for turning the other cheek.”
“If it’s going to be like this, I can’t stand it either, I’ll break up too.”
“……”
Su Orange had just changed her clothes when her cell phone’s WeChat alert tone sounded, it was from Zhou Yuchen, asking if she knew which brand of band-aid was good.
She leaned against the cupboard door and replied back, [What’s up?].
Zhou Yuchen sent a photo, Su Orange clicked on it, it was a photo of his finger cut, spilling a lot of blood.
Su Orange’s heart abruptly tightened and said, [You wait.]
She put away her cell phone, walked out in front of the desk, opened the drawer, rummaged through it to find the band-aid inside, took it, and hurriedly went out the door of the dormitory.
Just now, she forgot to ask Zhou Yuchen where he was, she asked as she walked towards the bottom: [Where are you?]
His side has not been replied, Su Orange walk for a while to see, out of the dormitory building still did not receive, worry filled her heart, she can not care about anything, directly to him dialed the voice call.
The moment she connected, she said, “Where are you?”
Zhou Yuchen walked out from behind a tree and called out, “Su Orange.”
Su Orange slowly turned around, the boy’s figure stepped out from behind the tree, the dappled sunlight fell on his face and shoulders, as if lighting up something.
He said another sentence into the earpiece, “I’m here, Su Orange.”
Through the earpiece, Su Orange’s ears were scalded, an itch spreading deep within, and before long, the back of his spine went numb.
Su Orange hmmmed and ended the call, striding towards him, the natural concern was impossible to hide, she forgot all concerns and asked him, “Which hand?”
“This one.” Zhou Yuchen slowly raised it.
Do not know how, the blood is still flowing, Su Orange frowned, looked around, against the wall where some flowers are planted, in order to watering convenience not far away there is a water faucet.
She pulled on his hand and walked over, squatted down, turned on the faucet, while cleaning and said: “It will hurt, bear it.”
Zhou Yuchen did not look at his hand, has been looking at her, his eyes swept from her side face, stopped for a few seconds at her pear eddies, and then went to look at her eyes with a few points of frivolity and ambiguity:
“How do I have to coax you so that you will smile?”
