Chapter 19
Ten minutes ago, Zhou Yuchen leaned against the wall and smoked at the window seat in the hallway, his eyes looking out through the half-open glass window if anything.
Tonight the wind is quite strong, but the sky is good, the dark night sky is covered with stars, stars blinking, not surprisingly he thought of a person, her eyes are so radiant and bright.
Every time he looked at them, it gave him a strange feeling.
The feeling was unfamiliar, it was hard to say what it was, after all, it was the first time he had experienced it in so many years, occasionally it was inexplicably itchy, and occasionally it gave one a feeling of levitation.
But whichever feeling it was, it wasn’t distasteful, and one might even look forward to it a little.
His fingers held the cigarette to his lips, held it, took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled the smoke, his clear and elegant features were a little blurred by the smoke.
Zhang Yang came back from outside and saw Zhou Yuchen leaning against the wall at the end of the long corridor to smoke, the tip of his tongue topped his cheeks and walked over in big strides.
“Brother Sam, shelved thinking about spring.” He said smilingly.
Zhou Yuchen did not even look at him, his eyes were still outside the window, the wind was a little strong, blowing his fine hair, but also blew the cigarette star flame flickering.
How long has Zhang Yang not seen Zhou Yuchen in this deep look, quite a long time, he snapped his fingers and walked across to Zhou Yuchen, raising his eyebrows, “Tell me the truth, are you thinking about Su Orange?”
Mentioning Su Orange’s name, Zhou Yuchen finally reacted, the back of his head leaning against the wall, his chin tilted up high, the side of his neck pulling out a cold and cold arc that stretched all the way to the depths of his collar.
The thin eyelids moved lightly, he inhaled hard, pursed his lips, white smoke spilled out from both sides of the corners of his lips, and in the next second, it was blown away by the wind that gushed in.
Zhang Yang stood not quite right, choked by the smoke, coughed several times in a row, tears were coughed out, “Brother Sam, you look like you know what it looks like?”
“Like what?” Zhou Yu Chen turned his head to gaze at him and asked.
“Like being abandoned.” After Zhang Yang finished, his throat was still itchy, and as he coughed, he said, “Fuck, too decadent.”
Disheveled does not matter, the main thing is to attract girls to like, Zhang Yang tsked, “Eh, you tell me, in the end, how do you hook girls ah.”
Later, Zhang Yang remembered that he didn’t even need to hook himself, those girls rushed to catch up.
“Wrong, you don’t even need to hook.” Zhang Yang said, “It’s the girls who are looking for you.”
“Have you ever coaxed a girl?” Zhou Yuchen finally gave up speaking, lazily asked, “Know how to coax?”
Anyway, he hadn’t coaxed them, so he had no way to start.
“Who are you going to coax?” Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows, “It won’t be coaxing Sun Xia, right? No, you really like Sun Xia like that?”
“Are you sick.” Zhou Yuchen dislikes people with a pretty tough mouth, hanging on, “No wonder you can’t chase the girl you like, it’s because it’s too stupid.” Zhang Yang pursed his lips and said, as if you caught up with your favorite girl.
He thought for a second, “Oh, you’re trying to coax Su Orange, right?”
Zhou Yuchen didn’t dislike him, but he didn’t admit it either, Zhang Yang was so familiar with him that he knew what he was going to do by raising an eyebrow, no wonder he asked him to bring the cat no matter what, so it was a crooked thought.
Zhou Yuchen gave him a blank stare, “In the end, do you know?”
“Knew knew.” Zhang Yang said, “Girls, very coaxing.”
“How to coax?”
“Just send a gift.”
“What kind of gift?”
“What gifts she likes, what gifts to send, if you do not know her preferences, send expensive, that quasi no bad.”
Zhou Yuchen finished smoking the last bit of smoke in his hand, threw the cigarette butt aside against the wall of the trash can, hands clasped chest, “And?”
“And ah ……” Zhang Yang thought about it, “Hitchhiking, take the initiative to find her to chat, to draw close to the relationship.”
“Right, the bitter meat trick is also OK.” Zhang Yang hemmed and hawed, “Girls like Su Orange have the softest hearts.”
Su Orange’s fingers tapped and deleted on the keyboard, deleted and tapped again, repeated for a long time before sending it out.
Orange: [What’s wrong?]
Zhou Yuchen over there replied in seconds.
ZYC: [Accidentally injured, it hurts.]
Zhou Yuchen is not the kind of boy who easily says it hurts, he didn’t say it hurt when he saved her from being beaten by a punk, he didn’t say it hurt when he accidentally hit his elbow playing basketball and bled.
He is the kind of person with a hard mouth and a soft heart, unless it really hurts, he won’t speak out easily.
Su Orange’s heart shrunk violently, the fingers holding the cell phone shrinking and shrinking.
Before she could reply, Zhou Yuchen’s WeChat came in again.
ZYC: [Is it bothering you, it’s okay, if it’s not then forget it, I’ll put up with it].
Even without seeing his face one could imagine the look on his face when he said this, and having to endure it…it should hurt a lot and hurt a lot.
Su Orange knew that he was spineless, he said that he would no longer pay attention to it, but in the end he couldn’t make up his mind, but what could he do, that person on the opposite side of the room was the one who had saved his life.
It was all the memories one had in high school.
Now that he took the initiative to approach her and ask to borrow a band-aid, she really couldn’t do anything to ignore it.
Orange: [There is.]
Orange: [How can I give it to you?]
ZYC: [I’ll get it from your place.]
A second later.
ZYC: [Is it convenient?]
There’s nothing inconvenient, it’s not time for lights out, and the promenade is full of people coming and going, and noise.
Orange: [Okay, see you in a while.]
Su Orange puts down her cell phone, pulls open the drawer, finds the band-aids that still have more than half a box left, takes out the down jacket from the closet, and pushes the door out as she puts it on.
Lin Mai poked his body out and asked with a terse neck, “Orange, what are you going to do?”
Su Orange: “Nothing, I’ll be back in a while.”
Along with the sound falling was the sound of running, from the first floor to the sixth floor, Su Orange did not stop, out of the dormitory door, by the wind blowing teeth chattering, only to realize that the down jacket she only wore half of it, the other sleeve has not yet been stretched in.
Slowing down her steps, she adjusted her breathing while putting the down jacket on, zipped it up, and then walked down the steps to the tree.
There weren’t many leaves left on the trees in the winter, and the branches were so dry that you couldn’t hear the clatter anymore when the wind blew.
A tree branch stretched randomly, reflecting a thousand shadows, like a mutated tentacle, overlapping each other.
The silver-white moonlight was no longer covered, the falling color was a little brighter, Su Orange stepped on it, and had a feeling of being born in response to the light.
It was as if she was overflowing from the light.
A leaf fell in front of her feet, and before it materialized, it was blown away by the wind, brushing against someone’s shoulder between flutters.
Su Orange heard a thin sound, she followed the sound and turned her head, what came into her eyes was the long figure of the boy, he didn’t wear a down jacket, but a sweatshirt, white.
The pants were the same sweatpants from before.
I don’t know if it’s because of the moonlight or something else, the tip of his nose reflected stars, like sweat but not like it.
He was really tall, Su Orange could only tilt her head to look at him if she wanted to look into his eyes.
She was timid, still not used to meeting his eyes, subconsciously lowered her head, feeling that it was a bit impolite to talk like this, and in the next second, raised her head again.
First, she saw the two straps hanging down from the hood of his sweatshirt, just where it rested on his chest, swaying back and forth as the wind blew.
Then what I saw was the knot in his throat, straight and sexy and casting a mesmerizing shadow.
His jaw arc was still as smooth as ever, and the scar at the corner of his lips seemed to look a little deeper.
Su Orange’s eyes narrowed, opened wide and then went to look again, it was still true, how could it be deeper again?
It’s hard not to be able to fight again?
Su orange has no position to ask, after all, their relationship is also not, she pursed her lips, as she approached, she took out band-aids from her pocket, “only these, do you see enough?”
Half a box wasn’t small to say the least, but Su Orange wasn’t sure if he had enough.
“Enough.” Zhou Yuchen reached out to pick it up, his fingertips touched Su Orange’s hand, his hand was usually hot, today it was even a bit icy, the fingertips were still very red, as if they had just been taken out of the icy water.
Su orange was his icy cower for a moment, “Your hand is so cold.”
“Oh, the boys’ dormitory stopped hot water, I just washed my hair with cold water.” He said.
Su orange’s eyes finally shed upward, the tips of his hair were still really percolating with water, and because of the weather, the water seemed to have signs of freezing, and his hair was in strands, like it was set.
Without thinking about it, he knew how cold it was, Su Orange frowned and couldn’t help but say words of concern, “Next time, it’s better not to wash your hair with cold water, you’ll catch a cold.”
After saying that she felt that she was overstepping some bounds, she explained again, “Don’t you still have to go to class, it’s not good if you get sick.”
“Well, next time don’t wash it.” Always a mixed-up person, did not think that there is still a day to concur with people’s opinions, Su Orange was a little surprised, levying a stare at him, suddenly felt that he was strange.
It seemed…too obedient.
For Zhou Yuchen’s evaluation can be handsome, can be good family, can be good at studying, can be any one of the advantages, but “obedient” and he is not even close.
He grew up to be the most creative, as long as he decided to do, he will do it, he this person has everything, but it is impossible to have “obedience”.
“Right, we boys are quite groovy, and there’s no mirror in the dormitory, so can I work hard for you to help me get it.” Zhou Yuchen raised the box in his hand, “If that’s okay.”
Su Orange had thought that she was just sending band-aids, who knew that there was also after-sales service, she pursed her lips and hesitated, for a moment she didn’t know whether to say yes or no.
She was not good at rejecting people, but facing Zhou Yuchen she was really nervous.
The deer in the chest flew and crashed again, in the end is to help? Or not to help?
“Hiss–” Zhou Yuchen grinned, his brows furrowed, his expression looked quite painful.
“Does it hurt that much?” Su Orange asked.
“Uh, it hurts.” Zhou Yuchen returned.
Su Orange stretched out her hand, “Give it to me.”
“Thanks.” Zhou Yuchen handed the box to Su Orange, his eyes unblinking as he stared at Su Orange, watching her take out the band-aid from the box, then tear it open, then, she raised her arm.
Then again, she paused there.
“That …… you lower it, I can’t reach it.” Su Orange said on her tiptoes.
Zhou Yuchen cooperated and lowered his head, just not low enough, Su Orange still struggled a bit, his shell teeth biting his lip, “Can you go lower?”
Looking up close, she realized that the place where he was badly bruised was on his cheek, and she couldn’t quite reach it.
Zhou Yuchen hmmmed, leaning forward over, his hand hanging down on his side propped up on his knee, his height became shorter all of a sudden, his line of sight leveled with Su Orange’s.
The distance between the two became a stone’s throw, and even Su Orange could see his eyelashes, one by one, and could count them if he counted them.
There was a red blood color in his eyes, but it didn’t affect his handsomeness at all, and those talking phoenix eyes flicked down very lightly.
The wind fell into her eyes, and she fell into his.
After a long time, he let out a laugh, “Do I look good?”
