Chapter 18

Goodbye Zhou Yuchen is ten days later, late November in the north of Beijing obviously just not long into winter, but there is a feeling of cold wind piercing the bones, exhaling breath are white mist.

Su Orange is afraid of cold, every time you go out, you wrap yourself tightly, down jacket padded sweater, scarf hat mask, only a pair of eyes exposed.

Tonight, the temperature is lower than yesterday two degrees, out of the school door not long, the tip of the eyelashes are stained with dense fog, the eyes are also fog, overflowing with faint red blood, inadvertently look over and thought it had cried.

Recently Su Orange’s eyes have been like this, red blood from the corner of the eye this end spread to that end, looking quite heartbreaking.

Other people thought it was because she studied too hard, every day she studied until eleven or twelve o’clock, it’s strange that her eyes weren’t red, only she knew that studying was only part of the reason, the other part of the reason was because of that person.

Counting the time has been more than ten days without his news, do not know how he is now, in the end what is doing.

This kind of powerlessness is like the feeling of the first half of the senior high school semester, during that period of time, because she has to transfer back to the original home to participate in the college entrance examination, she can not sleep well all night, want to struggle to do something, but there is no way to start, her heart seems to be hanging in mid-air, shaking a little bit of strangling raw pain.

It was a long time before this feeling disappeared, who knows that now it has come back.

Yu Lele chin shrunk into the down jacket collar, bla bla bla with Su orange for a long time before realizing that she did not listen, she raised her elbow and bumped her, following her eyes to the opposite street, “Orange, what are you looking at?”

Su Orange looked back, the light in her eyes was gone for a moment, she thought it was him, but it turned out it wasn’t, muffled, “Didn’t look at anything.”

“Come less.” Yu Lele said, “I’ve been telling you for half a day, you didn’t say a word back to me, you’ve been staring at the opposite side.”

Caught in the act, Su Orange pursed her lips, didn’t argue anymore, changed the topic and asked, “What did you just say?”

Yu Lele shook the bag in her hand and said with a huff, “These are enough to eat, do you still need to buy others?”

Su orange and Yu Lele came out to buy dinner for everyone, the two of them were each carrying a large bag in their hands, which was filled with food.

Su Orange lowered her eyes and looked, “Milk tea hasn’t been bought yet.”

“Oh, right.” Yu Lele lightly lifted her chin, “There is a milk tea store in front go there to buy it, it just so happens that there is a convenience store next to the milk tea store, I’m out of toothpaste, go there to buy a toothpaste.”

Tonight is really cold, Su Orange stomped her foot and nodded, “OK.”

In order to save time, Su Orange bought milk tea, Yu Lele went to the convenience store to buy ointment, Su Orange finished paying and lowered her head to wait, behind her, a minty tobacco flavor suddenly poured in.

In the next second, a figure stood beside her.

Because of her lowered head, she first saw the indistinct black shadow reflected on the ground, the shadow swaying lightly with the wind from time to time.

The next thing she saw was the pair of white Nike brand sneakers on his feet, the uppers were spotless and clean enough to shine the light.

Su Orange was afraid of fantasizing, didn’t dare to move, head down, shoulders slumped, continued to look. He wore black sweatpants, looking at the texture should be the kind of thin fall clothing.

Boys seem to be not afraid of the cold, not many people like to wear thick sweat pants.

The line of sight further up is the down jacket, he is tall, long models can also wear short models of the same sense of vision.

Don’t remember who said “black and white match”, Su Orange is wearing white, black and white, it seems…….really quite match.

Not only does the color match, the pattern on it also matches, her star pattern is on the left, his star pattern is on the right.

Su Orange had an inexplicable passion for the star pattern, that year she had the opportunity to touch the stars, only to miss it later, so she was extraordinarily fond of the stars.

She didn’t know what he was.

Su Orange’s eyes only fell to his chest, did not look further up, she was afraid to see his cold eyes.

After a few seconds, Fade retracted her eyes and continued to stare at the shadow at her feet, the shadow was closer to herself, and if she didn’t look closely, she thought she was going to touch it.

The refreshing mint scent also became more and more intense, when it poured into the nostrils she didn’t know which nerve it hit, giving birth to a heavy and sour feeling.

Through the mask she felt a raw pain in the nose.

Subconsciously wanted to touch, and then remembered that she was wearing a mask, not very convenient, and then put her hand back.

Quiet for a long time came from the back of the commotion, the girls chirped and whispered, “This boy is really handsome, I wonder which school?”

Peers exclaimed, “He you don’t even know? The schoolboy of the finance department, Zhou Yuchen ah.”

“Is he Zhou Yuchen, I’ve seen his picture, but I’ve never seen him in person, he’s too tall and handsome.”

“Not only is he handsome, he’s a decathlete, and he was the first in the whole department in the last midterm exam.”

“Wow, wow, wow, awesome, I want his contact information, do you think he gives it?”

“You go ask ah, what if it ……”

The sound of their discussion was quite loud, Su Orange also heard it, not knowing out of what mentality, she moved towards the other side, pulling away from the two.

The wind passed between them, cold and fierce, she always felt like half of her face was hit by the wind, raw and painful, then she remembered that she was still wearing a hat and scarf, and there was still warmth on her face, the place where she was hit by the wind wasn’t her face, it was…her heart.

Her heart shrunk hard.

Just stood not long, the side of the conversation came: “Zhou Yuchen hello, convenient to add WeChat?”

It was the long-haired girl who said she wanted Zhou Yuchen’s contact information just now, she walked up and stood in front of Zhou Yuchen, the bottom of her eyes containing expectations, “Can I?”

Zhou Yuchen was playing with his lighter in his hand and didn’t say anything.

The girl’s companion chimed in and said, “Schoolboy, my girlfriends like you very much, you can add WeChat, free time we can ask out to eat dinner and watch a movie or something.”

The back of another person to help out, “people face are red, handsome, give a contact method.”

The voices were really too noisy, Su Orange only felt her head buzzing, for a few seconds, she even felt that her mind was blank.

After the discomfort subsided, there was the sound of snickering here and there.

Su Orange disliked these voices, her head hung even lower, her chin pressed against the scarf, and what she felt was not warmth but coldness.

This winter is destined to be difficult.

“Click” sound, the side came from the lighter cover cover sound, and then is the sound of conversation, voice tone frivolous up, or that careless, “not convenient.”

He refused to be very dry, but could not hold the girl enthusiasm, “just add a weibo will not have any loss to you, you can rest assured, nothing when I will not harass you.”

This is a lie to a small child may believe, lie to Zhou Yuchen no chance, he touched the cigarette and lighter from his pocket, the corner of his mouth to light, deep inhalation, and then spit out the smoke, or that mixed up look, “Do not add, it is inconvenient.”

The girl grunted, milk tea are not wanted, resentful leave.

Su orange seems to be fixed, all the attention is in the doorway publicity photos, also do not know what to see, brows a moment to knit up a moment to unfold.

Look at that indifferent appearance, not the slightest intention to pay attention to Zhou Yuchen.

Zhou Yuchen had a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth and smiled with a somewhat meaningful smile.

Zhang Yang a turn of the eye can not find him, stalking his neck and shouted twice, when he turned his head to see him in front of the milk tea store queuing, pulled a voice, “Brother Sam, what are you doing?”

As he spoke, he walked over, and saw Su Orange at a glance, greeting him cheerfully, “Yo, Su Orange, what a coincidence.”

Su Orange can ignore Zhou Yuchen, but there is no way to ignore Zhang Yang, she turned around half a beat slower, the corner of her lips hooked and said, “Zhang Yang, what a coincidence.”

“You came to buy milk tea?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Came by yourself?”

“No, with Lele.”

“Where is Yu Lele?”

“Went to the convenience store to buy something.”

Zhang Yang glanced at Zhou Yuchen, as if he understood something, his hands were in his pockets, he shrunk his shoulders, and said with a smile, “Come to think of it, Zhao Chuan asked me to bring him back beer, you guys chat, I’ll go buy it.”

Zhang Yang is a human spirit, loves to do things that break the deadlock, after pushing Zhou Yuchen a bit, he said, “By the way, Su Orange, have you seen Brother Sam?”

Zhou Yuchen was standing right in front of him, Su Orange couldn’t pretend to be blind anymore, and said in a faint voice, “I just saw it.”

Zhang Yang: “I can’t remember which brand of wine Zhao Chuan is drinking, I should choose a little longer, you guys take your time to chat ah.”

“There is no hurry to go back.”

Zhang Yang rabbit-like, a smoke gone.

Su Orange’s emotions are still immersed in the picture of Zhou Yuchen and Sun Xia leaving together that night, the heart astringent, do not know what to say.

Stalemate for a few moments, Zhou Yuchen cell phone rang, he looked at the caller ID strangled the phone, not long, the end of the call again, he again strangled.

I do not know who the caller is, anyway, quite persistent, and then called again, this time Zhou Yuchen did not pinch off, but walked aside to pick up the phone, the smile on his face receded, it seems that even to cope with do not want to cope with, cold voice, said: “not finished is it?”

“Yes, don’t want to care about you.”

“Don’t call again in the future.”

“Call once and I’ll ring once.”

“Well, I am, you just realized.”

Flashing neon light hood down in his body, like a layer of dense red light, a stroke outlined his good-looking figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist, straight long legs, is not so good face.

Sink very much.

The eyebrows contain a slight huff, and the jaw is taut.

When he doesn’t smile, he looks like a different person, more bitter than the winter wind.

When he spoke again, his voice was suddenly lowered, just moving his lips, and out of the corner of his eye, Su Orange read that he said those two words, “Sun Xia ……”

He was calling Sun Xia’s name, that means the one who called him was Sun Xia.

So…he and Sun Xia had really been together all along.

The waiter called the number to the list, Su Orange walked over and took the milk tea, without looking at Zhou Yuchen, turned around and walked towards Jingbei University.

Almost to the entrance of the school when the sound of panting came from behind, Yu Lele caught up with her and gulped, “Orange, why are you walking by yourself.”

Su Orange said, “I’m sorry ah, suddenly my stomach hurts.”

“Stomach ache? It must be from freezing, then go quickly.” Yu Lele took a step, after walking not two steps, she said, “Right, I just saw Zhang Yang, guess what Zhang Yang said to me?”

“What?”

“It’s about Zhou Yuchen.”

Su Orange’s eyelashes trembled, she wanted to not ask, but she couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to him?”

“Didn’t Zhou Yuchen leave with Sun Xia that day?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Then something happened.”

“What happened?”

“It’s …….”

Yu Lele told what she heard originally, roughly that night after Zhou Yuchen drove away the punks, Sun Xia pestered him and said that if he didn’t agree to get back together, she would go kill herself.

Zhou Yuchen hates it when someone threatens her, and said “as you wish”.

The back of Sun Xia really committed suicide, injury is wrist, Zhou Yuchen the first time to send her to the hospital, after Sun Xia woke up, as long as he was not there, they want to commit suicide.

Sun Xia’s parents can only go to Zhou Yuchen once and for all, to put pressure on him, Zhou Yuchen intermittently went to the hospital to see a few times Sun Xia.

After Sun Xia was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Yuchen didn’t care about her anymore.

Yu Lele said with wide eyes, “Do you think it’s bloody?”

It was simply more bloody than a TV drama.

“Sun Xia is also really daring.” Yu Lele tsked, “Listening to Zhang Yang’s meaning, Zhou Yuchen went to see Sun Xia and was completely forced, it’s not the rumors that he and Sun Xia are together.”

This matter is too much information, Su Orange is a little slow to accept, did not say anything at that time, after dinner, lying on the table to write homework, writing suddenly stopped the pen.

It seems…he did have a bruise on his face, and there was also a faint scar there at the corner of his lips.

Just as she thought of this, her phone vibrated and someone sent her a tweet.

She picked up her phone and lowered her eyes to read it.

ZYC: [Do you still have the band-aid you gave me last time?]
