Chapter 25.
If teasing is divided into grades, Zhou Yuchen is considered the highest level, Su Orange was in a trance the whole afternoon because of those two WeChat messages, and he was distracted several times in class and was almost caught by the teacher.
After having a scare, finally survived to the end of class.
Walk out of the classroom, Yu Lele asked the first sentence is, “You are not not like Nike brand sneakers, how suddenly buy this?”
Before chatting, Su Orange has mentioned that there is no concept of shoe brands, wearing comfortable on the line, and then Zhang Huan called Su Orange together to go to the mall to buy shoes, Su Orange refused, said to buy on the Internet on the line, convenient price is also affordable.
“Not I bought it myself.” Su Orange looked at the bag in her hand, her chin against the scarf, suddenly, remembered Zhou Yuchen to her when she tied the scarf, her heart trembled, and her fingertips trembled, said softly, “It’s a gift from a friend.”
“From a friend?” Yu Lele raised her eyebrows, “Which friend? Do I recognize it?”
Su Orange made a swallowing motion, “Recognize.”
“Who?”
“Zhou Yuchen.”
Yu Lele’s eyes widened and her mouth opened as if she could stuff down an egg, blinking, “Who?”
“Zhou Yuchen.” Su Orange pinched the scarf to cover her chin also covered her voice, with a few blushes, “When we went to the mall to buy shoes together.”
Yu Lele covered her mouth, her eye lashes trembled and trembled, a look of “I knew it” flowed from her eyes, smiling narrowly, “I guessed it right, right, he just has intentions for you.”
“It’s not like that,” Su Orange’s mind recalled every fragment in the mall, explaining, “It’s the shopping guide lady who was too good at talking, he was too embarrassed to brush off the other party’s face before he bought it.”
“Embarrassed?” Yu Lele lightly hummed, “Do you see Zhou Yuchen as someone who would be embarrassed, if he doesn’t want to do something who can force it.”
The words are so right, but ……
Su Orange still didn’t dare to think that way, just like what the others said, he wouldn’t be fond of her.
“It’s really because the shopping guide lady was too enthusiastic,” Su Orange said as she walked, a faint embarrassment staining her brows, she didn’t know how to convince Yu Lele, “He had no choice before he bought it.”
The more she said, the more impossible it was, Zhou Yuchen’s kind of person was not a master who was at the mercy of others, unless it was of his own free will.
Yu Lele knows Su Orange’s thin skin, and then argued on the cheeks will only be more red, maybe dinner are embarrassed to eat, along with her words, “Yes yes yes, shopping guide Miss Miss eloquent too good.”
After a pause, she said, “Then you say, if I go to the mall with Zhou Yuchen, will he buy me a pair under the persuasion of the shopper’s sister?”
This…how would Su Orange know.
“Should…will.”
His person has always been generous, high school at that time, the southern floods, the school organization donations, we are simple donations, he is good, not only donated money but also donated supplies, water, quilts, clothes, instant noodles, and so on, combined together, if you have to hundreds of thousands of it.
And if any of his classmates have family difficulties, he will also help, are anonymous help, the reason why she will know, is also a coincidence.
Anyway…he was good, impeccably good.
“Pfft.” Yu Lele shook her head and said, “Orange, you’re still too simple.”
Saying that, pinching Su Orange’s face, “What to do I love your simplicity.”
Su Orange’s skin can’t help pinching, just this one time, the cheeks are reflected with bright red marks, looking quite pitiful.
Yu Lele tsked, “Orange, you are made of water.”
Su Orange smiled and also reached out and pinched her face, “You’re also made of water, right?”
The two of them talked and laughed and went to the cafeteria, Lin Mai Zhang Huan Gao Chang was waiting for the two of them and waved his hand when he saw them coming.
The first time he saw Su Orange, he asked the same question as Yu Lele, “Where did you get the sneakers?”
Su orange cheeks just faded redness again overflowed, her lips pursed, pear swirls of the whirlpool than when she smiled deeper, cute as hell.
“A friend gave them to me.” She whispered.
“A friend? What kind of friend? Male or female?” Lin Mai asked reaching out in a stop motion and squeezing her eyes, “Let me guess.”
“This friend of yours is a boy, right?”
“From our school?”
“I don’t think it’s from our department?”
“Is it possible that it is ……”
Before she finished speaking, Su Orange’s cell phone rang, the cafeteria was too noisy, she took her cell phone and went outside the cafeteria, walking to a deserted place to pick up the phone.
Su Liangshu called and asked her where she was returning to after winter vacation.
Su Orange didn’t understand too well, “What do you mean?”
“Your mom and I will be done with the divorce formalities soon, the house I live in now is left to your mom, will you go back to her place or come to me.” Su Liangshu didn’t sound like an invitation, “Here I am, there’s me and your aunt, and your unborn brother.”
Su Orange choked on the cold wind, a pain in his throat, “I’ll go to your place…is that okay?”
Su Liangshu paused for a moment before speaking again, “You can come if you want to, but your aunt is afraid of noise, you have to take care of her emotions when you come, this side is a three-bedroom apartment, your aunt and I will sleep in the master bedroom, a study room, and the other room is a children’s room, if you come, you have to live in the living room on the sofa, can it be done?”
Su Orange was obviously gathered by the haze, but she felt very cold and chilly, like falling into an ice cave, although she did not hold any hope for him, but really listening to him speak like this, her heart was still very cold.
“Fighting for me before, and now you don’t want me.” Su Orange asked, “Is it because you’re sure that what’s in auntie’s belly is a son?”
Su Liangshu didn’t say anything, Su Orange took him as a default and hummed lightly, “Don’t worry, I won’t go to your place.”
“You child, did I mean that.” Su Liangshu still wanted to scold.
Su orange was not happy to hear, said “don’t call again” and hung up directly.
The feeling of being abandoned by the whole world came back, if Zhou Guiqin didn’t want her even after she figured it out, then she would really be… an orphan.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with being an orphan.
Su orange to calm down before returning to the cafeteria, eating everyone is chattering about something, Su orange did not say a word, staring at the meal in front of her dumb, eating, eyes suddenly turned red.
She was afraid of being seen, her head hung low, covered with her hand, and ate with a hitch.
After returning to the dorm room her mood was still not good, they were all talking about where to go to play this weekend, or what movie to watch, Su Orange was immersed in her own thoughts, being sadly gathered.
The things that happened during the day that made people flutter were like a dream, and at a certain time they would disappear without a trace, waiting for her in addition to despondency or despondency.
Who knew there was more melancholy.
Outside came the sound of conversation, the volume is not much control, anyone can hear.
“Eh, how did I hear that Sun Xia was hospitalized again.”
“What happened this time?”
“What else could it be, it must be for Zhou Yuchen.”
“Why is she so stupid? She can’t live without Zhou Yuchen.”
“I think so, her hospitalization this time seems to have something to do with Zhou Yuchen.”
“What about Zhou Yuchen, did he compromise?”
“I don’t know, I heard that he went to the hospital to see Sun Xia.”
“How do you know?”
“Sun Xia just sent a friend circle, the writing is quite ambiguous.”
Then there was the sound of a cell phone unlocking, followed by an exclamation.
“What is Sun Xia writing about, what spring is back.”
“Wrote about love, alluding to you know, spring is back, means her love is back.”
“What does it mean? Zhou Yuchen agreed to be with her again?”
“It seems like it.”
“These two are really interesting, splitting up.”
“People call this a fling, the emotions between a small couple.”
Su Orange heart of the only remaining point of warmth were squeezed away, she hid in the quilt remembered a lot of things, thought of high school, the basketball court teenagers running recklessly figure, that summer, she always put a bottle of mineral water at room temperature next to the basketball hoop, the bottle affixed to the outer packaging of the word written on the word “C”.
C is for Sam and Orange.
It was a subtle way of getting the word out.
Unfortunately, later on, there is also a girl to Zhou Yuchen sent water, or face to face, the girl told Zhou Yuchen, her name is Qi Cancan.
The “C” became the link between them.
No one knew that C was also her.
She seems to have been doing the same thing that she lost, …… once or twice.I don’t know what to say.
Su Orange hadn’t seen Zhou Yuchen since that day, and the occasional news she heard from him said he hadn’t come to school because of something.
As for what things, she timidly did not ask.
When she saw him again it was the end of December, on the way to the open class Yu Lele suddenly felt sick and went to the bathroom, she walked slowly alone, her chin hidden in a furry scarf, one hand holding a book, one hand copied in her pocket.
There was a baby warmer in her pocket, which she held tightly, but even so, her fingers were still red from freezing.
The winter in the north of Beijing was a kind of torture for her, she hated to put the quilt over her body and go out again, or simply hibernate and wait for the next spring to come out again.
While she was rambling, someone tugged on her hat, and she leaned backward with her inertia, her steps following two steps backward.
“Who?” Su Orange turned around to look back, what appeared in front of her was a band-aid with a cute cat pattern on it.
Her favorite way to buy band-aids was to buy this kind with a pattern, the clerk said when she recommended it at the time that there were two patterns.
Her eyes moved from the band-aid to his hand, there were red marks on the back of his hand, probably after a long time, not so obvious, but still instantly recognizable.
Su Orange’s heart shrunk a little, looked up to see the owner of the hand, white down jacket, black pullover sweater, the bottom with jeans, feet wearing Nike shoes bought back together from the mall that day.
His hair was a little longer than before, vaguely covering his eyes, and there seemed to be something there at the end of his eyes, but he couldn’t see it too clearly because it was in the way.
The bruise on his left cheek is clearly visible, the size of a fingernail cap, not one but two, falsely connected.
The side of the neck was also bruised, a very long scratch with bloody scabs, the ones at the ends peeling off and the one in the center still there.
He was…in a fight?
Before Su Orange could speak, he opened his mouth first, his voice sounded a little pitiful, “Can’t reach it, is it okay to stick it on for me?”
Su Orange slowly reached out and took it, enduring the palpitations and heartache, asked him, “How did you get hurt?”
“Accidentally bumped.” Zhou Yuchen’s tongue topped his cheeks, then frowned and hissed lightly, “Hey, it hurts.”
Su Orange heard him say it hurt, she didn’t even bother to ask, she only thought of quickly giving him a good sticker, but his stature was too high, it wasn’t too easy for her to reach.
Looking around, there was nothing she could step on, she had a guilty look on her face and bit her lip, “You’re too tall.”
Zhou Yuchen glanced backward out of the corner of his eye, as if he had discovered something, and took her hand, “Follow me.”
He naturally led her through the crowd, turned left and right, and came to an unoccupied small garden, where there were pavilions and stone tables and benches.
Su Orange was held by him all the way, sweat was spilling out from her wrists, burning her heart.
Obviously, it had only been a few days, but it was as if she hadn’t seen him for a century, greedily wishing to see him one more time and one more time.
How in the world did he get hurt?
Did it have anything to do with Sun Xia?
Was he with Sun Xia for the past few days?
They…
Are they back together again?
The more I thought about it, the more confused my heart became, and my hearing seemed to be blocked, I could only see his lips moving, but I couldn’t hear what he was saying.
Probably because he had been unable to get a response, he stopped talking, rubbed her head, and when she froze, he put his hands on her waist and gently lifted her onto the stone bench.
Their height difference suddenly changed from her looking up to him looking down.
Fearing that she would fall, his arm was still wrapped around her back, and a rustling sound could be heard from the friction of his clothes.
The field of vision all of a sudden became different, Su Orange returned to God from the sign of the blankness, some insecurity, her hand subconsciously go to grab his shoulders.
Grabbed on his down jacket, clutched out the folds.
“Afraid?”
“Well ……”
“With me here, I won’t let you fall.”
Zhou Yuchen lifted his chin up and tilted his head a bit, “Can you see?”
Su Orange looked askance with lowered eyes and nodded very lightly, “Can.”
Heart suddenly flooded with sour water, just now the angle of reason to see is not very clear, now look again, the injury is quite serious, several bruises, there are broken mouth.
She inhaled her nose, her voice was soft and supple with a crying tone, “In the end, who did it so hard?”
The arm circling her waist suddenly tightened, and a teasing male voice poured into her ears.
“Heartbroken?”
