Chapter 23
Su Orange panicked and withdrew from Zhou Yuchen’s arms when she stepped on his foot without paying attention, she passed a puddle on her way here and didn’t pay attention to stepping on it, the sole of her shoe was stained with water, and it reflected a half footprint when she stepped on his snow-white sneakers.
Bright and shiny, right at the very front of the shoe.
Zhou Yuchen baby his shoes is notorious, can not see a little stain on the shoes, but wherever it appears, the service life of this pair of shoes is also counted to the end.
He frowned and looked down.
Su Orange followed his eyes and looked over, apologizing with trembling eyelashes, “Sorry, I just didn’t see it.”
Zhou Yuchen this person, usually encountered such a thing will not be too calculating, anyway, he is not bad, one wall of the cabinet at home are put shoes, go back to change a pair of good.
Today is a bit deliberately difficult.
“Step on it and be done with it?” He said.
“Hmm? What’s that going to be?”
Su Orange looked very rushed, fingers interlaced and tugged in front of her body, the blood color on her face faded a bit, they were still standing not far from the bookshelf, and every now and then someone would give a sideways glance.
Su Orange is timid and easily shy, being stared at by people she doesn’t know will also make her nervous, she pursed her lips, “Do I have to compensate you?”
“No need to compensate.” Zhou Yuchen copied his pocket with one hand and tapped his toes, “Just accompany me to the nearby mall to buy a pair.”
“This…is fine?” Su Orange couldn’t care less at this moment, raising her eyes to meet his line of sight and asked, “Will it not be too bad?”
“There’s nothing bad about it.” Zhou Yuchen lowered his head to look at his wristwatch, the corner of his lips tugged, “Read the book first, eat lunch together at noon, and go buy it afterward.”
“But I have an appointment with my roommate …….”
“I don’t have any shoes left, do you want me to go barefoot?”
He lifted his foot and forced her closer, pinning her against the bookshelf, “Bear with me, huh?”
With his words at this point, it seemed a little too unsatisfactory for her to say tolerate, so she nodded and let out a soft hmm, “Yes.”
The voice was so small that it seemed that she could only hear herself.
Zhou Yuchen withdrew his hand that was pressing on the bookshelf, raised an eyebrow and signaled her to walk towards the corner.
Su Orange held her breath as she walked towards the front, not daring to look around, her head slightly lowered, revealing a section of white jade-like neck, one end of which was not in the black hair, and one end of which was not in the depths of the collar.
There was also a faint blush on her neck, which should have been blown by the wind when she came.
There is also redness on her earlobes, looking quite eye-catching, inexplicably, some dry.
He walked not more than a few steps, the cell phone placed in the pocket of the down jacket vibrated, Zhang Yang sent him a WeChat.
Zhang Shuaishuai: [Brother Sam, hotpot or stir-fry for lunch today?]
ZYC: [You guys eat, I’m not going back.]
Zhang Shuaishuai: [WHY? Didn’t we agree to eat together?]
ZYC: [What’s the point of eating with you guys.]
Zhang Shuaishuai: [Crying in pain jpg.]
Zhang Shuaishuai: [You’re too colorful for your friends.]
Zhang Shuaishuai: [You’re so heartless jpg.]
Zhou Yuchen didn’t bother to look at his love package, his cell phone was muted and stuffed back into his pocket, then he took big steps towards Su Orange.
Zhou Yuchen has not seen a good behavior, family relatives, cousins, cousins and so on, as well as female classmates before there are also good behavior, but their good behavior and Su orange is completely different.
They have a feeling of deliberately pretending to be well-behaved, Su Orange is really well-behaved, sitting posture is the kind of well-behaved look, shoulders and back straight, waist is also upright, arm resting on the book, a kind of listening to the class feeling.
No wonder…the old man kept praising her.
The old man here is talking about a certain professor of the Beijing North University, and Zhou Yuchen’s family ties, usually to Zhou Yuchen is very cared for, but also everyone said that Zhou Yuchen’s backstage.
The professor is not only a professor, identity is not good to detail, in short, is a very powerful character, academically powerful, identity is also powerful.
Can let him praise not many people, he has recently been chattering about the design department of the little girl called Su Orange is quite good, soft nature, people are also good, learning is also very hard.
She was number one in every exam and completed all the assignments well.
And the most people like is, the little girl write a good hand of words, can be called word post, out to the exhibition can be.
Zhou Yuchen had a few meals with him, and every meal was complimented, listening to him from the initial lack of interest to the present ……
Really good.
It is good, it is soft, it is obedient.
The old man also warned him that he was not allowed to bully her, and the tip of his tongue topped the groove of his teeth, well, it was bullying.
Su Orange felt the burning line of sight above her head, and she was even more afraid to move, holding her breath and trying to focus all her attention on the book in front of her.
Usually when she reads a book she gets into it very quickly, it’s a bit of an exaggeration to say seconds, but within five minutes she can definitely devote herself to it.
Today, with him here, nothing was the same, and after ten minutes of staring, she still couldn’t get a word in, and all that lingered between her nostrils was the minty tobacco scent of him, vaguely mixed with the refreshing scent of laundry detergent.
She tried to stop these scents from flowing in, but it didn’t work, she couldn’t stop them at all, just like the wind, moist and silent.
She was surrounded tightly, her thoughts jumbled and jumbled.
When she looked down to get her pen, she realized that she had forgotten to bring it with her, the pen bag seemed to be at Yule’s place, she had lent her a pen during class and she had given her the bag directly to her.
Without a pen, and without a tool to hide it, her heart seemed to be hanging in mid-air, Su Orange looked even more anxious.
The hand on the book slipped to her leg, she wrung it through her pants, telling herself not to panic.
But the matter of panic is not something that can be restrained, the more she reminds herself, the more she panics, her leg trembles, driving the table to tremble.
A short light laugh came from the opposite side, Zhou Yuchen sat in a lazy and reckless posture, “Why do you shake every time you see me.”
Su Orange wanted to say that she didn’t, but the truth is, the table was really shaking, it wasn’t made by Zhou Yuchen, it was her legs.
Shy and nervous and at a loss for words, blinking her eyes so many emotions came out of her, her head hung lower than the party.
The neck of the glistening white undisguised into the line of sight of Zhou Yuchen, his eyes subconsciously narrowed.
After his emotions calmed down, he opened his mouth first: “What do you want to eat for lunch?”
Even though the voice was suppressed again it was still a bit loud, and there were people around looking towards them, Zhou Yuchen took out his cell phone from his pocket and lowered his hair to WeChat.
Su Orange’s cell phone shook, she thought it was Yu Lele, who knew it was actually Zhou Yuchen, clicked open.
ZYC: [What do you want to eat at noon?]
Su Orange pursed her lips, back: [Anything, just decide.]
ZYC: [Is there any allergy besides mango?]
Su Orange: [No.]
ZYC: [There’s a nice Cantonese restaurant, go for Cantonese food.]
Orange: [Uh, okay.]
What a good boy, Zhou Yuchen wanted to bully, snapping and typing: [Is my face ugly?]
Su Orange pauses, and after a few seconds returns: [What do you mean?]
ZYC: [Otherwise, why don’t you even dare to look at me.]
Su Orange: ……
This kind of blunt questioning is really quite embarrassing, last time she didn’t reply, this time she’s embarrassed to not reply again.
Orange: [No.]
Orange: [It’s not ugly, it’s very nice.]
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Zhou Yuchen smiled even worse and derailed to ask a question, [Don’t all girls like good looking ones?]
Su Orange didn’t think much about it, and honestly returned, [Yes.]
ZYC: [And you? Do you also like good looking ones?]
This Su orange really can’t answer back, a thousand cover a thousand cover a thousand secret, only dare to taste alone, how dare to take it out to say so wantonly.
Besides, he was so smart, if she answered yes, he might immediately get up and leave.
This thing is not Su Orange’s imagination, is really happened, Zhou Yuchen encountered not interested in, a second are not willing to stay, and will cut off all contact.
She wasn’t afraid of him leaving, what she was afraid of was never being able to be alone again like she was now.
These stolen moments, she just wanted to quietly save them up and put them in the deepest part of her heart, where no one could pry into them.
Just her alone.
Su Orange didn’t reply immediately, using the occasion of fixing her hair to calm down a bit before replying:[You just said you have something to talk about, what is it?]
ZYC: [Time hasn’t come yet, you read the book first, say it later].
He did not want to speak, Su Orange did not rush, pressed the palpitations to put all the attention on the book, one minute two minutes three minutes …… half a day later, her mind went to the book.
Memorized all the knowledge points above a few times, and also previewed what was going to be said later.
Until her neck was sore and swollen she raised her head, and when her eyes wandered, she saw that Zhou Yuchen was lying on the table, his face facing her side, his eyes closed, and the light was just like that dropping through the glass window onto his face, striking a rich halo on it.
Although the light of winter cannot be compared to summer, it is also very strong near noon, shining on people’s faces, it will also pierce the eyes.
Zhou Yuchen’s eyelashes unconsciously trembled several times, and his eyebrows knitted several times, with an annoyed look on his face.
Su Orange closed the book, propped up the table and stood up, looked at the location of the beam of light, took her cell phone and walked to the window, isolating the light behind her.
Yu Lele sent her a WeChat, asking when she was coming back.
She replied back, [Something’s come up to eat out, you guys go ahead and eat].
Yu Lele sends a string of emojis, [ah ah ah, are you going to eat with Zhou Yuchen?]
Orange: [Uh, yes.]
Yu Lele: [Is it progressing so fast?]
Su Orange cried and laughed a little, explaining what happened, [I’m going to accompany him to buy shoes later.]
Yu Lele’s little brain began to think randomly, [Why do I think it was Zhou Yuchen who used this as an excuse, the purpose was to be alone with you.]
Orange:[……]
Su Orange didn’t dare to think in that direction, her heart would be even more messed up, she replied back:[It’s just simply going to accompany him to buy shoes.]
Yu Lele: [Make a bet.]
Su Orange: [Bet on what?]
Yu Lele: [Betting that he has another purpose, if he lets you back after buying the shoes, count me as a loser, and I’ll take the breakfast from now on].
Su Orange didn’t want to bet, but Yu Lele insisted, she had to return: [Then you’ll be ready to fight for breakfast].
At the end of the conversation, Yu Lele said: [The cafeteria doesn’t have your scarf, and the auntie who is playing the food also said she didn’t see it.]
Orange: [Forget it, don’t look for it, I’ll go buy another one later.]
When the chat ended it was exactly eleven thirty, Su Orange felt someone was looking at her, she followed the line of sight and looked over, there was a boy in the back row who smiled at her.
Su Orange politely nodded and withdrew her line of sight, continuing to look down at her cell phone.
Not long after, someone stood beside her, “Classmate, is it convenient to add a wechat?”
Su Orange raised her eyes, recognizing the boy from earlier, pursed her lips, “Sorry, not convenient.”
She wanted to leave, the boy stopped her, “I’m from the law department, classmate what department are you from?”
Su Orange didn’t like the approach of strangers, and took two steps back, “Please make way.”
The boy was still about to say something, when someone suddenly opened his mouth, “This classmate, she has said for you to make way, are you unable to understand?”
Zhou Yuchen pinched the back of his neck, stood up, walked over in large strides, protecting Su Orange behind him as if he was a calf, and said in a cold voice:
“My people, less to provoke.”
