Chapter 15
Su Orange hadn’t seen Zhou Yuchen for two days, and heard that he had helped the teacher to prepare the materials, and when they met again, it was the public class on Friday afternoon.
She because of some things delayed some time to go a little late, to the place only to find a full house, it is difficult to find a corner position, just sat down, a glimpse of the oblique front was surrounded by a few girls languid figure.
He sat casually, disheveled out of shape, talking also lazy, when in a good mood should be a, not in a good mood to look down at the phone do not care.
Girls probably like him this gangster bad disheveled strength, the mood is not affected at all, with words to tease him, simply use their hands to tease him.
There is a girl is quite crazy, body bowed, arm hanging down, hand quietly to his thighs to move, almost touch on the eyes of Zhou Yuchen to stop, the girl does not mind at all, holding a smile to take back the hand, turn his head to touch the knot in his throat.
“Herb, look at people.” The girl used her chest to press against his shoulder, which he avoided.
Zhou Yuchen converged the cynicism between his eyebrows, serious somewhat unlike him, his fingers knocked heavily on the desktop twice, “Don’t even tease, not interested.”
The girl did not have the embarrassment of being rejected, and smiled more flirtatiously, “You didn’t used to talk like this.”
Zhou Yuchen hooked his lips before his patience ran out, “Come any closer, I can’t guarantee to do something, want to try?”
Side face arc cold for a few points, the look is also a little cold, without that wipe of cynicism, he is actually quite cold, like a jade that has thrown the light, less the layer of brimming luster, the texture is icy and hard.
The edges are still very solid.
The girls hadn’t seen him like this before, and immediately had a few scares, waving their hands, “Che, it’s no fun.”
The girl who loved to make a fuss stood up straight, straightened her clothes and turned around to sit back in her own seat, the other onlookers did not dare to make a fuss again and sat down as well.
Su orange since sitting down has been lowered his head, emotionally faint staring at the book, in fact, did not read a word into it, the air is filled with hawthorn sour, into the nose that moment, almost forced her tears out.
Really…sour.
Ten minutes before class, Yu Lele sent her a WeChat, saying that she temporarily had some things to do and couldn’t come over to listen to the class, so if the teacher named her, let her do a favor.
Su Orange replied: [Okay.]
Just after replying, the girl beside her didn’t know when she left with her school bag, then a boy came over and asked her, “Classmate can I sit here?”
Su Orange replied back that she could, and continued to look down at her book, the pen in her hand was not idle, writing something in her notebook from time to time.
The boy put his book bag on the table, just about to sit down, was stopped by someone, the person who stopped him has a cool face, is a celebrity in the school, the teacher likes it, the students like it even more.
The boy smiled curtly, picked up his bag on the table, said nothing and rolled his ass.
The table moved lightly, someone bent down and sat down, Su Orange ignored it, his attention remained on his books until a breeze hit him.
Menthol-flavored tobacco scent flowed along the wind, it was a very familiar smell, Su Orange’s fingers shrunk slightly, subconsciously looked up to see, what crashed into his eyes was not at all the slate-haired boy just now, but Zhou Yuchen.
He fell straight into the depths of her eyes just like that.
Today’s temperature is low, he is not like before as wearing thin, the jacket changed into a coat, curry-colored kind, inside wearing a white shirt.
Most of his usual jackets are jackets, rushing clothes, there is a kind of material craggy handsome sense, today wear coat instead of giving a kind of heroic sense of reserve.
The same party sitting posture is different, at this time sitting is quite upright, legs slightly spacious, head hanging, attention is on the cell phone, cold white long fingers snapping the keyboard, do not know in reply to who’s WeChat.
Because of the reason of low head, fine short hair has a few strands hanging down, blocked his full forehead, even with the end of the eyes there also blocked a little.
The tear mole was covered by the hair, and it was a little hard to see.
But a glance can see other places, such as his temples, hair covered place also has a round black mole, and earlobes, right in the middle of the position, side by side there are also two.
Unintentionally by the light gathered on, crystal bright excessive.
The skin on the side of his neck was cold and white, with no embellishments whatsoever.
For a boy of his age, the knot in his throat was like a sharp instrument, the tip of the bump was sharp and could not be hidden.
Both sexy and flamboyant.
Su Orange looked at, suddenly remembered that evening inadvertently touched the knot of his throat scene, hot and dry from an unknown place, throat itchy, she trembled eyelashes, pursed her lips to do a swallowing action.
I don’t know if it was because her eyes were too hot, someone who was originally chatting suddenly stopped, his body also deflected with the movement of turning his head.
His eyelids slowly lifted, his eyes slid from this end of the corner of his eyes to that end, invisibly drawing out a meaningful arc.
The light in his eyes was very shaky, like a Milky Way adorned in it, Su Orange was shaken by that light, the fingers holding the pen trembled violently, drawing a lengthy line on the book.
Obviously is scratched on the book, but a certain moment Su Orange feel is scratched on the heart.
The tip of her heart trembled and trembled again, and the scratches that fell were deep and deep. Su Orange’s heart affairs flowed open in the wind.
It was as if she was frozen in place, until his voice came, she came back to her senses, and the boy’s lazy voice rang in her ears, “Why is your face red?”
Su Orange reflexively reached out to touch her face, the temperature on her cheeks was incredibly hot, without looking she knew that it was already red beyond recognition, she gulped and made a random excuse, “Too hot.”
“Hot?” Zhou Yuchen reminded, “Today’s temperature is less than twelve degrees, where it’s hot.”
It was the highest temperature that was less than twelve degrees, and the average temperature, if it was ten degrees, was indeed a hundred thousand miles away from hot.
The early winter heating in the north of Beijing was not even turned on, if it was said to be hot, then it was really a ghost.
“It’s probably because I’m wearing too much thickness.” Su Orange’s explanation was quite reasonable, with the padded sweater and coat, she was indeed wearing thicker clothes than the average girl.
Like those girls who just surrounded Zhou Yuchen and flirted around, what they wore was one less than the other, revealing their waists and bellybuttons and legs, they really couldn’t wait to wear nothing at all.
Zhou Yuchen eyelids drooped and raised, looking like he believed her words, his eyes drifted and swept up her hand, which in turn swept to the notebook.
The thick black line that spanned half the page of the notebook was drawn diagonally and continued to extend, as if aimed at him.
Zhou Yuchen stared at it for five seconds before slowly averting his eyes, and when no one was looking, the tip of his eyebrow flicked down.
Not knowing what he remembered, he took out two orange candies from his pocket and placed them on the book, just pressing against the line, lightly lifting his chin, “Eating candy in the morning will put you in a good mood.”
Su orange heart thumped, there is a kind of vestigial feeling of being poked through his heart, she showed…is it that obvious.
She didn’t move those two candies, nor did she look at Zhou Yuchen, just like that, she lowered her head to think about things, thinking about that group photo, thinking about the way he looked when he was talking to the girls just now.
Her heart was a mixture of sweet and sour, and then what surged up was infinite loss, it seemed that she could not be as bold as those girls in any way.
Serves her right, it was her who had a crush.
Emotions on the head when the depths of the eyes some astringency, she slowly blinked her eyes, ears once again came his voice, “Want me to peel it for you?”
The one who could bother Zhou Yuchen to peel the candy, there was none in the whole school, Su Orange was the only one, but Su Orange didn’t know that, she shook her head down with an inexplicable sophistry, “I’m in a pretty good mood.”
She was answering his sentence above, although he didn’t explicitly say above that she was in a bad mood, his words meant that.
Usually a soft mess of a person, stubborn up is also quite fun, Zhou Yuchen heart of the haze swept away, body tilted sideways, elbows against the desktop, hand propping up the head, eyes suddenly up and down, measuring very wantonly, the voice of the speech is also pulled a long time, “Is that so?”
His tail voice rose, obviously disbelief.
The male aura was too strong, not to mention staring at her, or not doing anything, she would be too flustered to do so.
Su Orange’s face turned red when he stared at her, like she was on fire, her whole body had a burning sensation, and she was restless from the inside out.
The frequency of eyelashes trembling is also faster than usual, for some reason, the bottom of the eyes actually gave birth to a little water vapor.
This eye disease of hers, when exposed to wind, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not, not.
It wasn’t that she wanted to cry, it was that she simply couldn’t control it.
Seeing that something was about to happen, she hastily tilted her head back, forcing back the wetness, and only retracted her head after her emotions stabilized a bit.
The orange candy was still in her book, it was a bit hard to return it, she pursed her lips and said, “Thank you.”
Obviously a northerner, but every time Su Orange spoke, she gave a soft and mushy feeling of the Jiangnan water town, soft and sticky, so that people couldn’t help but associate it with a fruit.
Water Peach.
Full and juicy, sweet and soft in the mouth.
Zhou Yuchen was accustomed to eating sweet and greasy cantaloupe, and suddenly felt that peach was also quite delicious.
Su Orange had not yet had time to get the sugar, the boy sitting in the front row suddenly turned around, raised his eyebrows and smiled, teasingly said: ”What’s the situation with A-chen ah this? Doesn’t like sexy ones and likes pure ones?”
The boy tsked, “Your tastes have changed quite a bit, you don’t love the little goblin, you love the little white goose instead?”
Another boy chimed in, “This is used to eating mountain delicacies and seafood, intending to eat vegetarian? But you have this vision ……”
The boys raised their eyebrows and sized up towards Su Orange.
Su orange is not too used to this kind of jokes between the boys, the blood color on her face slowly faded, her neck does not know whether it is because of the wind or other reasons, also no blood color.
Her head was lowered, her shell teeth biting her lip, looking like she was holding back something.
This kind of nonsense Zhou Yuchen will hear every day, basically he never pay attention, let them go to speak, anyway, will not really how.
But today he didn’t want to hear it, his neck stretched, raised his eyes and said, “Speak up, don’t speak up, shut up!”
Zhou Yuchen mixed when the bystanders still dare not and he choked, let alone now look at the face is not good time, more no one dares and he choked.
Boys know that the joke has been opened, said: “are playing around, as far as.”
“As for.” Zhou Yuchen’s eyes were filled with coldness, and he said in a deep voice, “Apologize.”
The large classroom is full of people, apologizing in front of so many people, face is too much, the boys stalked his neck without the slightest intention to apologize.
The atmosphere is a bit stagnant, the third boy stood out to round off the situation, “All are buddies, not so much ah, not so much.”
Zhou Yuchen this person is not angry when casually mess, once angry who can not coax, see the boys just do not apologize, the phone thrown, “Road does not apologize?”
He stood up from the chair, both hands clasped together and pressed hard a few times, clicking sound came.
Su orange has not seen this kind of battle, and even more do not want to let Zhou Yuchen fight with others because of himself, inclined his head, quietly, reached out his hand, tugged the hem of his coat.
Like pampering.
Tugging a bit he did not respond, she tugged again, he finally felt it, lowered his head, and her line of sight collided together.
Nothing was said, but Su Orange just read the meaning inside, he was saying, don’t be afraid.
Such a secure Zhou Yuchen really can’t help but like, Su Orange’s heart seems like it’s not her own, every beat is also because of him.
“Don’t ……” she whispered.
Zhou Yuchen patted the back of her hand soothingly, a touch away, then raised his head to look at the boy who had picked a fight, still the same sentence, “Apologize.”
The boy was startled by his hostile look, first saying “Fuck”, then “I’m sorry.”
Zhou Yuchen nuzzles his mouth, “Say it to her.”
The boy’s line of sight fell on Su Orange, gritted his teeth and said, “I’m sorry.”
Su Orange did not answer, and tugged on the hem of Zhou Yuchen’s coat, Zhou Yuchen sat down, the boy also turned to sit down, the surrounding people watching the scene also turned their heads resentfully.
Some people were whispering, “Who was that girl just now? Why did Zhou Yuchen keep protecting her?”
“I don’t know, maybe it’s his new girlfriend.”
“He didn’t protect his previous girlfriends like this.”
This is true, Zhou Yuchen’s previous girlfriends, he did not protect one of them, the companions of the jokes, he just listened to the side, even if not happy never attack.
Today’s scene is also considered to be people’s eyes.
Some people quietly speculated that the prodigal son would not really be planted this time.
Su Orange also heard those comments, but she did not narcissistically think that Zhou Yuchen liked her, it was mostly just the boys’ unconvincing personality that was at work.
Zhou Yuchen sat down after the face is still tense, Su orange saw the situation remembered the two orange candy, he did not say that eating candy will be in a good mood.
She called one of them and handed it to him, borrowing his words to advise, “Eating candy will make your mood better, here.”
Soft and sticky sentence, seems to be more effective than a panacea, Zhou Yuchen abruptly hooked his lips and smiled, probably even he himself did not know why he smiled.
Taking the sugar in Su Orange’s hand and putting it in his mouth, he savored it.
“Together.” He picked up another one, tore open the package and handed it to Su Orange, “You eat it too.”
This is a new way of coaxing people, the boys in the back row looked a little dumbfounded, his knowledge of Zhou Yuchen stays in the “school bully bully good family good-looking handsome countless girlfriends”, but never knew that he also play coaxing women this set.
No, usually are not girls coaxing him, the former and the latter, happy, and hitching and hitching money just to get him a smile.
This picture of the turn of the wind, let a person caught off guard ah.
Zhou Yuchen so a mess, but also not a little benefit is not nothing, at least the ears of the clean, before those wild bees and butterflies around him around the girls to see him all around the road away.
Not to mention the initiative to talk to him, not at all.
Zhang Yang teased, “Brother Sam, now you’re just like us.”
Zhou Yuchen doesn’t mind at all, he attends classes and plays games, but he still shows no mercy when he dislikes people, “I’m just like you? Thinking shit.”
Zhang Yang carefully thought about this sentence, but also right, Zhou Yuchen is really not the same with them, they are really single, people at least have a rumored girlfriend, not to mention the real or fake it, on the Su Orange that looks that temperament, really as a girlfriend, but also absolutely killed other people.
Zhang Yang pounded his chest and said: “My spring in the end when to come ah?”
Song Zhou said surprisingly, “Now early winter, your spring is no chance this year.”
How did such solid words come out of the mouth of 36 degrees, Zhang Yang disliked, “Go go go, I don’t have it, and you don’t have it either.”
Song Zhou was lazy.
Zhang Yang wailed and went to mess with Zhou Yuchen again, “Brother Sam, a week after the midterm exam, you can cover me.”
Yu Lele also heard about the scene that happened in the big classroom, she only blamed her mom for not coming early or late, and had to come during class, making her miss a big show.
After nightfall when everyone else was asleep, Yu Lele and Su Orange chatted.
Yu Lele: [I heard that Zhou Yuchen almost fought with someone for you, oooh, do you think he likes you a little bit?]
Su Orange didn’t dare to think so, and returned: [He’s a person who’s never been very righteous, and can’t stand to see others being bullied.] Not like at all.
Yu Lele: [I’ve asked around, he’s never like this to other girls.]
Orange: [That’s probably because the other girls didn’t encounter what happened that day, if they did, he would have helped.]
Yu Lele: [What do you mean, he just doesn’t like you?]
I don’t want to admit it, but it’s true.
Orange: [If I liked him, I would have liked him when I was in high school, I wouldn’t have waited until now.]
Yu Lele: [……]
Yu Lele suddenly ran out of things to say, also right oh, if you like how could you wait until now.
When Su orange was about to fall asleep, Yu Lele sent a weibo.
Yu Lele: [Then is it possible that in high school he didn’t remember you at all, after all, you weren’t in the same class, except for those two times you helped out, you didn’t have much of a crossover.]
This is also what makes Su Orange rooted in her heart, two times carved in his heart, he has him, but he does not remember at all, how low her sense of existence is.
Orange: [It’s not possible, it’s that he really doesn’t remember me.]
A very casual sentence, fine taste can be seen helplessness and despair and despondency.
Since that day, her eyes were only filled with him, while his eyes were filled with thousands of scenery, but only without her.
Sad?
Very sad indeed.
Because before going to bed remembered the bad past, Su Orange did not sleep well, headache, face a little white, legs a little weak, if not guessed wrong, she was sick.
If she was right, she was sick. With this body, she always had no major illnesses, but constant minor illnesses.
Early Saturday morning, Zhou Guiqin called, the topic still centers around her and Su Liangshu’s divorce, now to the stage of property division, Zhou Guiqin to Su Liangshu net out of the household, Su Liangshu, of course, is not willing to, the two on the property issue of the red face who refused to take a step back.
Last night coincidentally, also had a fight.
Zhou Guiqin angry, to Su Orange called, to ask her to comment, Su Orange headache, listening is not so clear, and so Zhou Guiqin finished, she said: “Mom, if you want to divorce quickly, you can properly ask for some of the property, but so that Dad net out of the house can still be difficult, do not worry, I will support you in the future.”
Zhou Guiqin was not happy to hear, “It is his Su Liangshu marital derailment, he should be out of the net household is right. You say, did you make a deal with him.”
“Mom,” Su orange persuaded, “so many years are he is supporting the family, you want him to net out of the house was impossible, moreover, you have no direct evidence to prove that he cheated within the marriage, rather than fish death, why not negotiate properly, I know you aggrieved, so now the divorce is the most important, the division of property in accordance with the procedure, in the future, you will be able to get a divorce. The division of property in accordance with the program to come, the future of your pension I will be burdened.”
All in all, Su Orange just do not want Zhou Guiqin consumed in this invalid marriage, she hoped that her future life can be happy, divorce is the best choice before it is too late.
However, Zhou Guiqin didn’t think so, she just felt that Su Orange and Su Liangshu were in cahoots, scolded Su Orange for being heartless, and then hung up the phone in a huff.
Su Orange’s mood was completely messed up, her headache spread to her whole body, she touched her forehead, as if she had a fever.
Zhou Yuchen’s WeChat came in at this time, asking her if she could move her weekend birthday gift buying to today, he had other things to do over the weekend.
Su Orange leaned on the edge of the table and replied:[Okay.]
ZYC: [Then meet me at the south gate of the school at 9:30.]
Orange: [Uh, okay.]
Su Orange put down her cell phone, took her face plate and went to the bathroom, after washing up, her face became even more ugly.
Yu Lele saw this and asked her, “Orange, what’s wrong with you?”
Su Orange didn’t carry it this time, pointed to the drawer, “Lele, help me get the fever reducing medicine.”
“You have a fever?” Yu Lele went up and touched her forehead, “It’s hot.”
She took the basin in Su Orange’s hand, helped her sit down, and went to rummage through the drawer for medicine again, Su Orange frowned and said, “Yes, that’s the one.”
“This has to be taken after meals, right, otherwise it hurts the stomach.”
“It’s fine, it’s okay to eat it now.”
“You eat a bread pad first.”
Under Yu Lele’s insistence, Su Orange ate less than half a loaf of bread before eating the fever-reducing medicine.
The medicine was effective, after eating it for half an hour, Su Orange was much better, her head didn’t hurt so much, her legs weren’t so weak, she took out the thermometer under her armpit, and looked down to see that it showed a degree of 37 degrees 8.
Yu Lele also looked at it and suggested, “Why don’t we go to the infirmary?”
Su Orange shook her head, “Not going, I’m going out later.”
Today is Saturday, everyone else is sleeping, Yu Lele’s voice lowered, “What are you going for?”
An uncomfortable blush grew on Su Orange’s cheeks, “Zhou Yuchen asked me to help buy a birthday present for his sister.”
“I’m going, a date.” Yu Lele said excitedly.
“Not a date.” Su Orange corrected, “It’s to help him buy a birthday gift for his sister.”
“Rounded up this is a date.” Yu Lele blinked, “No, then you have to dress up.”
In the remaining one hour, Yu Lele was putting make-up on Su Orange and choosing clothes for her, that padded sweater can’t be worn, the loose version is too big, a little waist can’t be shown.
She gave Su orange chose a white slim dress, neckline there or hollow, waist belt, with the jacket is a pink coat.
Not that kind of deep pink, is the kind of enchanting charming light pink.
Su orange skin color white wear on the body lined with her skin more and more crystal clear, blowing bullet can be broken.
Hair made slightly curly, only a shallow arc, side eyes look over when there is a kind of flavorful beauty.
Different from the usual innocent dress, this time she went for a sexy style, Su Orange was a bit not quite adapted, looking at herself in the mirror, she asked Yu Lele, “Will the makeup be too thick?”
“How could it be.” Yu Lele said, “Usually, your makeup is not called makeup, at best, it’s just lipstick, this is the real makeup, believe me, when Zhou Yuchen sees you, his heart will surely thump.”
Su Orange didn’t have that much confidence, Zhou Yuchen hadn’t seen any beauties, how could he see her and mess up his heartbeat.
But she still nodded cooperatively, “You say yes, then.”
After choosing her clothes and putting on her makeup, behind her were the shoes, Su Orange was mostly sneakers, which were not very suitable for this occasion, Yu Lele brought her her own boots, the kind that came up to just below her knees.
The black boots wrapped around her calves, lining her legs more and more slender.
At nine thirty, Su Orange appeared outside the school door on time, when she lowered her head to rummage for her cell phone in her bag, the sound of a car honking came from in front of her.
She raised her eyes to see, there was a black Mercedes sedan parked on the side of the road, what model she didn’t quite understand, anyway, it looked very trenchant.
The next second, the passenger window glass slowly lowered, reflecting the face of the man in the car, he probed his head, eyebrows raised, the corners of his lips lightly raised, called out, “Su Orange.”
Handsome features, narrow phoenix eyes, high nose, it was Zhou Yuchen.
She reacted for a few seconds before responding, lifting her feet and walking over. Just in time, Zhou Yuchen also walked to the passenger door and opened the door to make a gesture of invitation.
Su Orange looked at him and then at the car, and suspiciously said, “Is this your car?”
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows, “Get in the car first.”
The space inside the car can’t be compared to the outside in the end, after getting into the car Su Orange realized that this decision was wrong, the distance is so close that she can’t breathe.
The already drowsy head became even more drowsy.
Along the way she did not dare to speak, did not dare to look around, hands on her legs, sitting upright, until she could not hold up, a false wobble, her head hit the side of the glass along the way.
Zhou Yuchen stopped the car and looked over sideways, seeing that her forehead was sweaty and her face looked a little off, barring touching her face while asking, “What’s wrong with you?”
Su Orange was trying to hold on, but I don’t know what’s going on, really couldn’t hold on, her headache was so bad that she made a swallowing motion and collapsed on top of him.
Her ear was right on his chest, before she passed out, she heard his heartbeat like thunder.
It was fast and strong.
She couldn’t help but wander why his heart was beating so fast.
