Chapter 26
Uh-huh.
Heartache.
Su Orange wanted to say this, but did not say it, eyelids drooping sardonically retracted his hand on his shoulder, feigned disinterest and asked, “In the end, how did it hurt?”
Zhou Yuchen shrugged his shoulders, dangling back: “is hit.”
“Then where did you hit this?”
“How? Do not believe me?”
“…… not.”
Su orange voice lowered, like in a low murmur, the wind a little bit can not be heard, “bump a little will come out so many wounds?”
Lifting his eyes to stare at him said, “So many wounds…can’t all be faked.”
The more she said the lower her head hung and the lower her voice became. The sunlight hit the side of her face, reflecting the skin there more and more crystal clear, vaguely also through a little powder.
She stirred her fingers in the band-aid, look like that look can not hear a satisfactory answer will not give the sticker like.
Zhou Yuchen raised an eyebrow, before only felt that her good behavior is heartbreaking, now there are some more feelings, lovely and persistent.
It is also quite ……
The knot in his throat rolled, suppressing the heat that streaked up in his chest, and said with a gangly smile, “It’s really bumpy.”
The right side of his face deviated a bit, pointing to the bottom of his temples and said, “I drank too much at night, and accidentally hit the door frame.”
Su Orange knew he was coaxing her, but didn’t insist on asking anything else, forget it, if he doesn’t want to talk about it then don’t talk about it.
Spreading his hands, “Where are the rest of the band-aids, give them all to me.”
Zhou Yuchen fished out that box from his pocket and handed it to Su Orange, “Take it.”
Su Orange took it, and took a new one, the one she held for a long time just now was wrinkled, and it was also stained with the sweat from her hand and couldn’t be used.
She took it out very carefully, slowly tore open the package, found out the most injured place on his face, and gently pasted it on.
She was afraid of the cold, the tips of her fingers were ice, when she touched Zhou Yuchen’s face, he inexplicably trembled.
Su Orange paused, “What’s wrong?”
He swallowed, “Nothing.”
Su Orange waited for it to stick firmly there before removing her hand, tilting her head to look at the rest of him, there was also an injury there on the brow bone, but because there was an eye brow in the way it wasn’t too convenient to stick it on.
She was a little uneasy, her shell teeth biting her lip, lifted the hair on his forehead, still couldn’t see it, she came closer, her fingertips ruffled his thick eye brows, and lowered her head to take a closer look.
One scratch, two scratches, three scratches ……
She counted four scratches.
It would be a bit hard to say if this was said to be a collision, it should be…from a fight.
Su Orange’s first thought was that Zhou Yuchen had been beaten up by someone, otherwise why would he have injuries on his face.
Why was there a fight?
It was just for…Sun Xia shouldn’t have fought ah.
Su Orange couldn’t tell why she was sad, and as another gust of wind blew, her eyes were suddenly very swollen, her eyes turned red, and a mist of water overflowed from her eyes.
She restrained herself from letting the tears flow out, and just hung there on her lower eyelids, at first piling up a little bit, then piling up more and more, as if it was flooding. The entire lower eye socket was filled with tears, and if she blinked they would swish down.
The cell phone in her pocket rang, she used the gap between answering the phone and lowered her head, quietly diarrhea out the tears, it was Yu Lele who called, after briefly saying two sentences, Su Orange hung up first.
“The tip of the eyebrow should also be posted?” Zhou Yuchen lifted his eyelids high to ask.
Into the eye is the girl is still percolating with tears stains of the almond eyes, eyes red, the tail of the eyes is also red, eyelashes are still sticky teardrops, to fall not fall.
The visual impact is too shocking, Zhou Yuchen slightly levied, it seems to live to such a large, has never been who has shed tears for him.
When was the last time he himself shed tears?
It seemed like it was in his last life, he was a person who would rather bleed than shed tears.
The old man was right about one more thing, Su Orange ah, too kind, so kind that, he couldn’t bear to drag her into the mire.
“This… bump is kinda… “Su Orange didn’t even know how to find an excuse.
Zhou Yuchen naturally picked up, “It’s not bumped there, it’s scratched by Little White, Little White’s claws can be sharp.” Lying again.
Su Orange whispered back, “Uh-huh.”
The tip of her nose and chin were reddened by the wind, Zhou Yuchen lightly swept a glance, the hand circling her waist tightened, “It’s okay, I’ll carry you down.”
Su Orange sized him up and pointed to the left side of his face, “There’s more here.”
“That one is not heavy.” Can’t just wave around with two band-aids on top, Zhou Yuchen didn’t want to be mobbed, and tsked lightly, “No need to put it on.”
Su orange listening to his careless tone, heart seems to be what twisted a hand, tears once again stored into the bottom of the eyes, voice trembling, “you can not care about yourself some.”
“You look like this will make people who care about you sad.”
As she said that, tears rolled down like broken beads.
Her emotions seemed to be a bit overwhelming, looking at him with red eyes, “Zhou Yuchen, can’t you be nice.”
By and large, no one had ever dared to use such a tone of voice to speak with Zhou Yuchen, in those two minutes, his expression was surprised, his eyes slightly narrowed, his jaw tensed as if he was probing.
“I’m sorry, I’m not…” the afterthought Su Orange reacted to what nonsense she said, her cheeks turning red with a visible courier, her chin tightly touching the scarf, hating to smother herself in the scarf, squeaking and apologizing, “It’s just that I’m nosy . …I’m sorry…I just…”
Incoherent explanation, the more she explains, the more confusing it is, she now just wants to escape, in a panic, she raised her feet and stepped, forgetting that she was stepping on a stone bench.
The moment she stepped in the air, her body inertially lunged forward, and she fell into Zhou Yuchen’s arms, her arms wrapped around his neck, and her face pressed against his face.
His face was as icy as hers.
It seemed that the rhythm of the heartbeat was also the same, both fast.
One second, two seconds, three ……
After a few seconds, she let go of her hand around his neck, wanting to stand up by bracing herself against his shoulder, and just straightened up a little, the slender fingers circling her waist suddenly increased their force and pressed her back down.
The two of them once again fit together, his head slightly turned, lips against the direction of her face, vaguely, as if touching her ear, “You just… because I cried?”
The day that passed was really panicked, Su Orange did not answer Zhou Yuchen’s words, after breaking free from his arms, she jumped off the stone bench, picked up the books that were placed on the stone table and quickly ran towards the large classroom.
Yu Lele was sending her messages along the way.
Lele: [Orange, where the hell have you been, why aren’t you here yet, class is about to start.
Lele: [This professor Liu is very strict, if you are late you will be criticized, hurry up.]
Su Orange entered the classroom one minute before the bell rang, her legs were shaking after sitting down for a long time, her cheeks were hot as if she had a fever.
Yu Lele noticed that she was out of sorts and asked quietly, “What’s wrong?”
Su orange slow half beat back: “Nothing nothing.”
“Your forehead is all sweaty.” Yu Lele took out a tissue, “Quickly wipe it.”
Su Orange took the paper towel and mechanically wiped it off, in her mind from time to time echoed Zhou Yuchen’s sentence, “Did you just cry because of me?”
Her heart thumped, not knowing if he had seen anything.
Hopefully, no.
The old man hadn’t seen Zhou Yuchen for a while, and knowing that he had gone back to school, he specially called him to make a dinner date.
Zhou Yuchen excused himself as busy and said he would not go.
The old man mercilessly broke him down, “Do you want me to ask your grandfather?”
Zhou Yuchen changed his mind, “OK, go, time and place.”
Old man: “Tonight, the hot pot restaurant opposite the school.”
The incident was inevitably brought up during the evening meal, and the old man said in a serious tone, “He’s your father.”
Zhou Yuchen didn’t even bother to lift his eyelids, taking his chopsticks and picking up a piece of lamb to put in the dipping sauce, “So?”
“Let the parents decide for themselves.” The old man said, “You stay out of it.”
“He even brought his mistress back to demonstrate.” Zhou Yuchen smiled skinlessly and said, “Why can’t I care.”
“Hey.” The old man pointed at his face, “This injury is from him, right?”
“He’s not much better.” Zhou Yuchen’s eyes were hostile, “My mom’s, I’ll protect.”
“How do you protect?” The old man grunted lightly, “By fighting?”
“By fighting.” Zhou Yuchen put down his chopsticks and said miserably, “Let’s see who doesn’t want to live first.”
The old man almost had a heart attack, his face sank more than the color of the night, just to persuade, Zhou Yuchen interrupted, “Still eating?
“Eat eat eat.” Catch a person is not easy, the old man is not likely to let him go, gave him some meat, “Look at you and thin, make up for it.”
The old man treats Zhou Yuchen as his grandson, or the kind that is close to him.
Zhou Yuchen converged on the body of hostility, smiled dangling, “old man, you are single how many years, should find or to find a.”
“I look for? Why don’t you say you.” The old man grunted lightly.
“I have ah.” Zhou Yuchen smiled wistfully, “There is a target.”
“Who is she?”
“I’ll tell you one day when I’ve abducted someone to my hand, it’ll irritate you to death.”
The old man also loved to dislike people, “Bluffing you.”
Zhou Yuchen raised his eyebrows and didn’t say anything else, his cell phone rang, he picked it up, and after looking at it, the smile on his face was gone.
Then it rang again, it was a text message.
[I’m Sun Xia, are you really that cruel to ignore me.]
Yu Lele dragged Su Orange out to buy milk tea to drink, all the way there, she was talking about seeing Zhou Yuchen, “Have you heard, Zhou Yuchen seems to be injured.”
Su Orange softly hmmmed.
“Zhou Yuchen like that in the end who dares to make a move with him.” Yu Lele was surprised, “It wouldn’t be an acquaintance, right?”
Su Orange shook her head.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Lele looked at her askance, “In a bad mood?”
Su Orange also thought of Zhou Yuchen, thought of the injury on his face, and then thought of those rumors about how he was doing with Sun Xia.
“Did you say they got back together?” She suddenly asked.
“Who? Who got back together?” Yu Lele’s voice was so loud that it carried a long way, “Do you mean Zhou Yuchen and Sun Xia?”
Su Orange tugged on her sleeve, “Keep your voice down, it will be heard.”
“Okay, lower your voice,” Yu Lele lowered her voice, “I heard Zhang Yang say no, but it’s also a fact that Zhou Yuchen went to accompany Sun Xia a few days ago, I don’t know which stage they’ve reached.”
Yu Lele wanted to facilitate Su Orange and Zhou Yuchen, but Zhou Yuchen is really too wavy, surrounded by warblers and swallows, Su Orange is so simple, and Zhou Yuchen will not be happy together.
“Orange, can’t you like someone else?” Yu Lele asked.
“If I could change, I would have done so long ago.” Su Orange said wanly, “There is no way to change.”
Focusing only on chatting, and not paying attention to the road, as they walked, the two crossed the milk tea store and went straight to the convenience store.
“What’s so great about him, anyway?”
“Where…all good.”
“You, you’re just in too deep.”
Yu Lele looked up and realized that she had walked by and eeped, “The milk tea store is over there.”
Su Orange stopped her steps and looked towards the convenience store, remembering that she was out of toilet paper, she lightly lifted her chin, “You go buy milk tea, I’ll go buy toilet paper.”
“Still the original flavor?”
“Well, the original flavor.”
Su Orange finished walking towards the convenience store, and just as he approached, he found a man leaning by the door, head hanging down, holding a can of beer in his hand, drinking it one sip at a time.
The bottle was all fogged up, and his fingertips were colored red by the cold.
Face immersed in the dark shadow can not be seen clearly, but the side of the neck can be seen some, I do not know whether it is because of the weather or the reason for drinking, but also stained with redness.
The zipper of the down jacket is still not fastened, and the hem of the black sweater inside is tucked in at the waistline.
When the vehicles on the street drive by, there will be lights shot over, blazing white light reflection, his face exposed.
Tightly knit eyebrows, reddened eyes, and pasted with band-aid cheeks, disheveled and unshaped, as if broken.
Su Orange’s heart shrank, subconsciously walked towards him, before he got close, he saw him turn his head to look over, white breath exhaled between his lips, his eyes red and creepy, the brokenness was even worse.
He put away his legs that were probing out, pulled the corners of his lips, staggered over, stopped in front of Su Orange, and touched the corners of her eyes with his cold fingers.
“Why are you crying every time you see me?”
Body probed out, head lowered, face pressed against hers, voice compelling and confusing, coaxing with drunkenness.
“Cry again and I’ll kiss you.”
