Chapter 28

Su Orange’s heart felt like it had been scratched by a cat’s claw, from head to toe, even every strand of hair was numb, the thin thread wrapped around the tip of her heart seemed to tighten and loosen at the same time, when it was tight her breathing would become faster, and when it was loosened her breathing stagnated along with it.

The result of the repetition was that her entire cheeks were red, her neck was permeated with a thin layer of sweat, and the veins inside were clearly visible.

Suddenly the wind blew, Su Orange felt the coolness, shrinking her neck to subconsciously hide to find that she did not know when the scarf is loose, resting on the shoulders at both ends, one end of the longer hanging down, one end of the shorter hanging down.

The long end in the wind blowing back and forth swaying, there is a kind of feeling will fall at any time.

Zhou Yuchen also saw it, he let go of her hand and clutched the scarf first, tugging on the two ends and pulling her towards his arms, his breath falling right on top of her head.

The minty tobacco scent spread around, and he moved gently to tie it for her, wrapping it around and around.

Ambiguity mixed in the tobacco scent, every moment made people throb, emotions like being filled with pink bubbles, full and bloated.

Su Orange carefully stole a glance at him, who knows was caught a normal, he laughed plastically and said in a long voice: “Want to see me ah?”

The slender eyelashes trembled a bit, the light adorning them also brightened a bit, his eyes were scarlet by the haze, without any sign, he suddenly lowered his head, his line of sight was level with Su Orange, and his face was still the same look of indulgence.

“For you to see.”

The enlarged clear and elegant face steeply appeared in front of his eyes, still a stone’s throw away, Su Orange’s heart panicked, the hand hanging on the side of his body tugged on the hem of the down jacket, except for his heart, there was nothing else.

He…too foul.

“Orange, what flavor of toothpaste did you just say you’d buy? The mint one or the orange one?” Yu Lele took two toothpastes and showed them to Su Orange, “I think the mint one is quite good, what do you think?”

Yu Lele waited for a long time without waiting for Su Orange’s reply, she raised her head and pushed her arm, “Orange, what are you doing?”

Su Orange came back to her senses and gulped, “What?”

“I’m asking which flavor of toothpaste you chose?” Yu Lele sized her up, “Why are you distracted.”

“Pick the orange one.” Su Orange picked up the orange flavored one, “I like this one.”

“Are you really okay?” Yu Lele looked at her face was very red, like she was sick, “If you’re not feeling well remember to go to the infirmary.”

“Not uncomfortable.” Su Orange explained, “Just thinking about things just now.”

“Thinking about what things ah so involved.” Yu Lele tsked, “Calling you didn’t even hear.”

Thinking…

What happened ten minutes ago came back to mind, Zhou Yuchen held that breathtakingly handsome face against her for a minute.

In that minute, it was as if she had seen a rainbow after the rain, brimming to the point of disorientation. In the seconds before he left, he even touched her dimples with his fingers and said, “Quite a good boy.”

“Orange.” Yu Lele pushed Su Orange again, “Eh, why are you always wandering off.”

“Sorry,” Su Orange said, “What did you just say?”

“I want to buy a towel, do you buy it?” Yu Lele held the pink towel and waved it back and forth.

Su Orange was probably really sick, seeing pink things would also subconsciously think of Zhou Yuchen, she pursed her lips and said, “Yes.”

In fact, she still had new unused towels in her cabinet.

Halfway down the street, Yu Lele eeped, “It’s snowing.”

This is the third snowfall of the year in the north of the capital city, the first two fell in the middle of the night, and the snow stopped the next day, and it didn’t fall much, and there was no way to build a snowman.

Yu Lele tilted her head, scrunched her neck and said, “This snow is not small, maybe we can build a snowman.”

Su Orange also tilted her head to look at the snow, the snowflakes fell on her long eyelashes, the tips of her eyelashes hung with a nice touch of white, and in the blink of an eye it melted away, leaving wet water stains.

“Orange do you like snow?”

“Love it.”

“I also like snow.” Yu Lele walked around holding Su Orange’s arm and asked her, “Why do you like snow?”

“Because–” Su Orange’s eyes looked into the distance, and she saw that year, in the snowy night, after school, she rode her bike towards home, and the snow on the road was too slippery and fell on the ground.

Coincidentally, the teenager passed by, took off the headphones hanging on his ears, came in stride, said nothing, bent down to help her and her car.

In that instant, their shadows intersected, and two people who had never crossed paths had a brief encounter.

It was a moment of joy she stole.

It was less than two minutes back and forth though.

But she loved the snow because of him.

Yu Lele didn’t know her journey, bla bla bla, “I like snow purely because I can build a snowman and also have a snowball fight.”

She paused, “Eh, let’s come out for a snowball fight later, it’ll be fun.”

Back in the dormitory, this proposal was recognized by the others, Lin Mai peeked out and looked out the window, “Okay, I’ll play too.”

Zhang Huan raised his hand, “I’ll play too.”

Gao Chang was reading a book and said without lifting his head, “I’ll go too.”

They all went, it would not be good for Su Orange not to go, she said, “I’ll go too.”

“What’s the point of having only a few of us.” Zhang Huan blinked, “Right, I’ll ask Zhao Chuan if they’re going.”

“Okay, I’ll ask Zhang Yang.” Don’t look at Yu Lele who always fights with Zhang Yang, but if something happens, he will definitely be the first to think of him.

When it came to studying, no one might be interested, but when it came to playing, anyone would be happy.

Zhao Chuan replied: [Okay, go.]

Zhang Yang: [Agreed.]

Zhang Huan went to the balcony, looked at the goose feather snow and tsked, “With this momentum, it will snow a lot in an hour.”

In the boys’ dormitory, Zhang Yang plays the game and gets fucked over again, curses “Fuck” and exits the game, sees Zhou Yuchen leaning against the window sill and smoking, and asks, “Brother Sam, are you going to go to a snowball fight in a while?”

Zhou Yuchen’s mood hasn’t been good since he came back from the hospital, nor is it right, it was good for a while after he saw Su Orange, but it hasn’t been good since then.

At this moment, he was leaning against the wall, his fine short hair was blown a little messy by the wind that slipped in, his legs were resting on another chair, one hand was holding a cigarette, and the other hand was sliding low on the cell phone screen.

From Zhang Yang’s angle, he could see the red marks on the side of his neck, three in total, one deeper than the other, this is not something that can be hit by a slap, like something scratched.

He gave a fuck and walked over, “Brother Sam, how did you get this.”

Zhou Yuchen casually touched his hand and said with little expression, “The ring.”

When he and that man got into a fight, he hit him with a slap and the ring scratched the side of his neck.

“Uncle is also too ruthless.” Zhang Yang had never seen such a cruel father, angry, he pounded his fist on the table, “Next time if he does it again remember to call us.”

“Call you guys for what?” Zhou Yuchen lifted his eyelids, “Fight in a group? And then get criticized together?”

“No need for you guys.” He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, “I can do it myself.”

He was hurt, but the guy wasn’t much better.

“By the way Sam, going to a snowball fight?”

“Not going.”

“Yu Lele and the girls called, Su Orange is also going.” Zhang Yang added.

Zhou Yuchen finger touched on the cell phone screen for a long time did not move, and lazily lifted the eyelids, the bottom of the eyes as if there is something flashed, quickly, did not catch, the knot in the throat slowly rolled, “She also go?”

“Yu Lele is so speak, said their dormitory all go.” Zhang Yang clicked on the chat record with Yu Lele, disliked Zhou Yuchen’s eyes, “Look.”

Zhou Yuchen took it and read every word.

Zhang Yang collapsed into a chair, her hand smoothly rested on it, her chin rested against it again, “I know you’re in a bad mood and your body isn’t feeling well, if you really don’t want to go, then even if-”

“Go.” Zhou Yuchen returned his cell phone to Zhang Yang and raised his eyebrows, “Go together.”

A dozen more messages came in on WeChat, all from the same person, he didn’t even look at them and directly pulled that person’s WeChat black.

Then the cell phone text message ding ding ringing, note people or the same, he did not look at this time, directly deleted.

Zhang Yang out of the corner of his eye glanced at Sun Xia’s name, hard hissed: “Sun Xia really have a fucking big disease, this time if it is not because of her, you will not be beaten, fuck, scourge.”

The Sun family and the Zhou family have recently had business dealings, it is said to be a big project, if it is done the status of the two families in the business circle of the north of Beijing will be elevated to a higher level.

This was also the reason why the Zhou family valued the cooperation so much.

“Don’t mention her in front of me.” Zhou Yuchen looked disgusted, “Annoying.”

Zhang Huan’s speculation was quite accurate, an hour later there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, and her feet stepped on it and could lose the tops of her shoes, it was the best time to play snowball fights like this.

She greeted, “Sisters set off.”

One by one, they followed and walked out, Su Orange was at the very back, tying her scarf and wearing her hat as she walked, the down jacket she wore on purpose was long, and the zipper was also zipped to the very top.

Technically speaking, she now only had two eyes exposed.

Zhang Huan laughed at her for being too exaggerated and not having fun like this.

Su Orange shrugged her shoulders, “There’s no way, I’m afraid of the cold.”

Out of the dormitory building a cold wind blew, it was really cold.

They jumped and ran towards the playground, Su Orange’s hands in her pockets didn’t dare to come out for a while, she still walked at the end, looking around as she walked.

Snowy days can’t stop people who love each other from meeting, there are people in several corners around the room, hugging and nibbling together intimately, if it wasn’t for the wind, I guess the sucking sound could be heard.

Su Orange accidentally bumped into another love scene, the boy’s hand is drilling into the girl’s down jacket hem below, she suddenly did not dare to look directly, trembling eyelashes do not know where to look when, suddenly, someone behind them came over.

With a gloved hand blocked her eyes, his palm is large, blocking her eyes when the whole face is covered.

The gloves were leather, cool to the touch, Su Orange flinched, just about to break free, when the familiar scent of mentholated tobacco poured in between her nostrils, stronger than at any other time.

He should have smoked a lot of cigarettes.

Su Orange did not even struggle anymore, stood rigidly in place, the wind blew the hem of the down jacket, making a snapping sound.

No sound could compare to the sound of the person’s heartbeat behind her, although it was through her clothes, she still felt it.

Dum-dum-dum-dum.

Beating so fast ah.

Su Orange’s heart also beat uncontrollably and chaotically, interlacing and ringing, seemingly louder than the wind.

The ambiguity was everywhere and surrounded them again, she gulped and whispered, “When did you come?”

The words fell, the burning breath that was still on the top of the head all of a sudden to the ears, straight in, he inclined his head, lightly touching her ear, some bad and there is also a loose saying:

“When you watch others make out.”

Su orange: “……”

Su orange violent burst of cough, subconsciously reached out to pull his hand, just touch, he said: “Do not move.”

Su orange really did not dare to move, hand just like that clutched his fingertips, touching the leather gloves to bring the coolness, swallowing saliva sound heavier a little, tongue some knot, “how how is it?”

“They’re kissing.”

“You’re not allowed to look.”

“Why?” There was a beam of light coming in through the cracks in his fingers, Su Orange’s eyes blinked very slowly and heard him say:

“It’s addictive.”
