Chapter 12
The wind that had just been blowing suddenly stopped, everything around was in a hazy illusion, those noisy voices were gone, and only Zhou Yuchen’s words echoed in his ears.
“How do I have to coax so that you will smile?”
Ambiguity is like pervasive, swarming, to them tightly lingering in it, hidden, even the air seems to change the flavor, sweet sticky, into the nose of the moment, only feel the heartbeat faster.
Su orange blinked, blooming red haze into the depths of her eyes, white cheeks to the naked eye visible speed red, not long, the entire neck has become red.
The red color continued to spread, reaching under the collar of her shirt, she was wearing a loose pullover knit shirt today, with a matching white camisole inside, the straps tied loosely around the back of her neck.
The delicate collarbone also reflected a flash of brilliant red, like a delicate rose in bloom.
The distance between the two is too close, she can not breathe, subconsciously backward to avoid, eager to forget that she is squatting, see to fall, was Zhou Yuchen buckle wrist pulled back.
The force was not well grasped, she rushed into his arms, her lips against his neck, and landed on the knot of his throat in an unbiased manner.
In that one second against each other, she felt the knot of his throat roll very lightly.
“Boom–” Su Orange’s mind seemed to have something exploded, before her eyes a white blur nothing could be seen, there was something screaming in her body, and those things that had been hidden in her heart for a long time seemed to be unable to be suppressed any longer.
The heart shrinks, the chest is hit with soreness.
Her throat couldn’t tell if it was an itch or what, her shoulders were trembling, and so were her fingers as she pressed the faucet, and the sound of the rushing water filled her ears, which she seemed to hear and didn’t seem to hear.
Her legs couldn’t hold up the strength of her body, and with a stumble, she sat down in a crouch on the floor, and as she tried to stand up in a panic, her fingers accidentally touched the faucet that was already on the verge of breaking.
“Snap”, the faucet switch fell down, and in the next second, the water splashed in all directions.
Zhou Yuchen’s quick eyes and hands went to plug it, but he was still slow, the water poured all over him, Su Orange saw this and also pounced over, pressing down on his hand.
Two people four hands folded together, but still does not work, the water is still bubbling.
Su Orange’s upper half of her body was blotched, her hair was dripping with water, and so were her eyelashes, she blinked, “What should we do?”
Zhou Yuchen glanced to the side and saw an old man watering the tree, nuzzling, “Go find that old man.”
“Uh, good.” Su Orange let go and ran over, a moment later, the old man followed along, found the valve main switch and bent down to close it.
Zhou Yuchen took a long breath and slowly straightened up, compared to Su Orange he was even more in a sorry state, his black jacket was covered in water, and the white t-shirt inside had many muddy spots in addition to the water.
Maybe it is the reason that just pressed the faucet, the hem of the T-shirt also stuck on the blood stains.
The jeans were not spared, the knees were the most seriously soaked, coldly looking over, he looked like he was fished out of the water.
Su Orange’s shell teeth bit her lip and said with an apologetic face, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it just now.”
She was referring to the matter of breaking the faucet, she didn’t know that the faucet was so insubstantial, she just gently pressed it and didn’t expect to directly give it a bad press.
Zhou Yuchen finger in the side of the neck wiped a little, touching the knot of the throat seems to have stopped for a second, the corner of the lips if there seems to be no pick up, “Then how do you plan to compensate me?”
“Hmm?” Su Orange did not understand.
Zhou Yuchen carried the hem of his coat and shook it, and the immersed water also shook, Su Orange pursed her lips and timidly asked, “What do you want me to do?”
“Do anything?” Zhou Yuchen asked.
“Uh-huh.” Su Orange returned with a hasty cry.
“Then let’s say I’ve coaxed you,” Zhou Yuchen probed his body, hands propped up on his knees, his line of sight leveled with Su Orange’s, his long slender eyelashes trembled a bit, his voice crispy and itchy, “Don’t be angry with me.”
Su orange: “……”
Su Orange made a swallowing motion and muttered in a small voice, “Who said I’m angry with you.”
“Not angry why don’t you reply to WeChat, and don’t answer when you call voice.” Zhou Yuchen looked straight at her, again that mixed-up look, smiling badly, “Lying is not a good child.”
Su Orange has a soft nature and is not good at arguing with people, her eyes dodged and looked elsewhere.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuchen raised his eyebrows and smiled even more badly, he pinched his injured finger hard, making the blood spill out again, he frowned and hissed lightly.
Su Orange withdrew her eyes, “What’s wrong?”
Zhou Yuchen raised his hand, “It hurts.”
Su Orange then remembered that the important thing hadn’t been done yet, she fished out the band-aid from her pocket that hadn’t been wetted by the water, stepped forward, pulled over his hand, gestured for him to stay still, and lowered her head to paste it for him.
When her fingers retracted, they inadvertently touched his fingertips.
The fireworks that had just fallen reappeared in her mind, Su Orange was seared by that rolling heat, almost exposing something.
She moved her hand behind her and stepped back, “It’s okay.”
Zhou Yuchen stares at the band-aid on his finger, the cat pattern on it is very inviting, he lightly raises the corner of his lips and asks her, “Zhang Yang has a cat, do you want to come see it?”
“Huh?” Su Orange froze.
“Feel free to look anytime if you want to.” Zhou Yuchen put his hand in his pocket.
Su Orange reacted for a few seconds before reacting, was he inviting her to their dormitory to see the cat, but the school regulations do not allow cats in the dormitory.
Later, Su Orange remembered what Lin Mai had said, Zhou Yuchen’s family’s power could not be underestimated, and he was related to the school’s senior leaders.
No one knows exactly which senior leaders, it should be the biggest one.
So, he still has a lot of “exceptions” in the school, Zhang Yang should also be because of his relationship so that he enjoys the privilege.
Su Orange bit her lower lip, just to say something, the girls’ giggles came from the distance, the short-haired one said: “Eh, look, is that Zhou Yuchen?”
The one with long hair said, “Seems to be eh.”
Short hair: “I like him too much, I’m going to find him to get his contact information.”
Long hair: “I’ll accompany you.”
Su Orange watched them run over this way, swept her wet clothes, a look of embarrassment on her face, and said to Zhou Yuchen, “Bye.”
Turning around, she hurriedly left.
When she entered the dormitory building, she looked back, there was no figure of Zhou Yuchen in front of the flower pool, only those two girls’.
Their steps were fast, she had just reached the second floor when they were already on the first floor, talking as they walked.
The short-haired girl complained, “Why is he like this, he doesn’t even say a word.”
The long-haired girl consoled, “Hasn’t he been like this for a long time.”
“Not before.” The short-haired girl said, “Even if he doesn’t want to give contact information, at least he will still talk for a sentence or two, but today he didn’t say a word.”
“Did he get a new girlfriend?”
“I didn’t hear anyone say that he has a girlfriend again, besides, someone like him wouldn’t be like this even if he has a girlfriend, it’s too weird.”
“……”
It turned out that none of them had spoken to him.
Su Orange’s slender fingers rested on the stair railing, the corner of her lips picked up very lightly, she didn’t know what she was smiling about.
Not long after she had just changed her clothes, Su Orange’s cell phone WeChat beep sounded, Yu Lele sent her a WeChat.
Lele: “Orange, Zhang Yang has been sending me WeChat, asking everyone to go to dinner together, I can’t really top it ah, you still don’t want to go?”
Lele: “If you really don’t want to go, I’ll rebuff him again.”
Lele: “How is sisterhood more important than alumni love.”
Su Orange leaned against the bed and pursed her lips, returning, “I finished my homework, I can go.”
Lele: “That’s fine, it’s still the same barbecue restaurant as last time, Gao Chang Zhang Huan and I are outside, we’ll go there directly then, how about you?”
Orange: “I’ll go with Lin Mai.”
The boss happily greets him when he sees it’s an acquaintance and says to Zhou Yuchen, “As you said, it’s still the same private room.”
Zhou Yuchen nodded and took the lead up the stairs, he slowed his pace again as he entered, waiting for everyone to go in before he walked in.
Several empty seats were reserved, and Zhang Yang waved his hand, “Brother Sam, sit here.”
Zhao Chuan also waved his hand, “There are seats here as well.”
Zhou Yuchen was playing with a lighter in his hand as he slowly walked in, the light shone down on his head, outlining his slender figure, which was simply a walking clothes rack.
Good looking eye-catching.
He first crossed the seat that Zhang Yang said, then crossed the seat that Zhao Chuan said, and then sat in the pile of girls, very coincidentally next to Su Orange.
He should have just smoked cigarettes, his body still has a faint mint tobacco flavor, vaguely, you can also smell the refreshing flavor of laundry detergent, mixed together, giving birth to an inexplicable refreshing scent.
The moment he sat down, the original noisy room suddenly quiet, everyone looked at each other, and then looked at him at the same time.
Zhou Yuchen picked up his teacup and shuffled his cutlery, without lifting his head, he said, “What are you looking at me for, do I have a recipe on my face?”
Several people tactically coughed a few times and simultaneously withdrew their eyes.
Yu Lele quietly touched Su Orange, lowered her voice and asked, “Why is Zhou Yuchen sitting next to you?”
Su Orange didn’t know and shook her head.
The girls were dumbfounded, the eyes of the boys were so intriguing, as if they had read everything, laughing somewhat inexplicably, Zhang Yang’s skin itched and joked, “Brother Sam, you’re not being generous, ah, so far away from the brother, what does it mean.”
“This is still do not know, not willing to be next to you.” Zhao Chuan snorted lightly, “I think you’re annoying.”
“Scram, you’re the one who’s annoying.” Zhang Yang said to Zhang Huan, “Sister Huan, take care of your hometown.”
Zhang Huan smiled, “He’s not my son, how can I control him.”
“Then you recognize him as your son.” Zhang Yang raised her eyebrows, “Zhao Chuan, quickly call mom.”
Zhao Chuan threw a pack of napkins into Zhang Yang’s arms, and Zhang Yang jumped away from the chair.
Zhou Yuchen did not dare to be interested in their elementary school chicken style of disliking each other at all, after he finished cleaning the tableware in front of him, he naturally took the tableware in front of Su Orange and continued cleaning.
This action attracted another goose call from Zhang Yang and the others, Zhou Yuchen gave them a blank stare, and the few geese stopped squawking.
Su Orange did not say anything, did not look at him, the scene that happened in the evening rushed into her mind from time to time, the image of her lips against the knot of his throat has been floating on a loop like a movie.
She had long since lost the calmness and composure of that time, and was now in a panic.
Even without looking at him, she felt like her heart was about to beat out of her chest.
She subconsciously wanted to hide, but there was just a little space around her, so she couldn’t hide anywhere, not to mention the person next to her, she didn’t provoke him, but he kept provoking her.
First, he poured her full of hot water and pushed it in front of her, then when the kebabs came up they were set on the dinner plate in front of her.
Yu Lele approached her to chat, she leaned in to listen, her hand kept cradling the glass of water and didn’t move the food, and as she talked, Su Orange felt her leg being pressed against it.
In the line of sight, his legs leaned over, his body also followed the side over, one hand on the back of her chair, one hand holding a grilled chicken wings, sitting in a lazy posture, smiling carelessly.
“Open your mouth.”
