Chapter 30
The picture was frozen, Su Orange’s pink lips vainly touched Zhou Yuchen’s left cheek, probably because he had been running for a long time, the temperature of his cheek was a little high, and there was a slight dampness vaguely, like the dryness of a summer day after a rain.
A stone’s throw away, she saw the tiny fluffy hairs on his face, as well as white almost transparent skin, more delicate than a girl’s.
Boys love sports, the skin texture grows like this is already considered excellent.
Before, because of the height difference, every time I smelled tobacco, it was a light minty scent, but now that the distance was close, what rushed into his nostrils was a disturbingly rich scent, not only minty, but also the lavender scent of the laundry detergent he was wearing.
And…his collarbone, so exquisite.
This was the last image Su Orange saw before jumping away when she came back to her senses, the light slanted over, casting a dense halo on the side of his neck.
The light floated, illuminating the delicate collarbone, cold white skin like a dazzling yellow dye, she was in that wobble messed up.
First, she pushed him hard, and then bounced to a position a few steps away, her hand covering her chest and gasping for breath, as for the bottle of pulsation, it also fell to the ground when she jumped away, coincidentally just smashed into her feet.
Pain, heat intertwined, Su Orange’s mood at this time really can’t be described in words.
There was only one sentence in her mind: …… crazy, all crazy.
Su Orange’s entire body’s blood seemed to have rushed to her face, her palm-sized face was as if it was ripe, so red that it was about to drip blood.
Eyelashes blinking madly, heart raised to the eye of the throat, the slightest inattention will jump out as if.
This night is destined to be an extraordinary night for Su Orange, until she returned to the dormitory, her soul has not returned, and the dry heat on her body has not faded away.
Mechanical take off the clothes on the body, mechanical pick up the basin into the bathroom, mechanical stand in front of the sink, mechanical open the faucet, hands reach under the faucet, mechanical rubbing.
Over and over again, I don’t know how long I rubbed.
Yu Lele came in with a basin, saw the water in the sink was about to overflow, and exclaimed, “Orange, be careful of the water.”
As the words fell, she walked over in big strides and turned off the faucet with one hand.
The water in the sink had already overflowed a little, Su Orange’s cotton mop was a little wet. Yu Lele asked her, “What’s wrong with you?”
Su Orange didn’t say anything, just shook her head.
“Did you just have something happen with Zhou Yuchen?” Yu Lele asked nosily.
When that scene happened just now, Yu Lele and the others were far away and still had their backs turned, so they didn’t see anything.
Just now…
Su Orange’s heartbeat missed another beat and subconsciously said, “Nothing.”
“No way.” Yu Lele poked her face, “Your face is red like this, something must have happened. Let me be happy too, tell me about it.”
Su Orange made a swallowing motion, her lips gently moved, the words reached her mouth and swallowed back, it’s not good to tell, too shy.
She shook her head again, her eyes flickered and said, “It’s really nothing.”
“Really?” Yu Lele narrowed her eyes and sized her up, “You can’t lie to me.”
“How would I lie to you, it’s really nothing.” Su Orange quickly washed up and gave her place to Yu Lele, carrying the basin out after the others were chatting.
She didn’t join in, put down the basin, walked to the closet, when no one was looking, her forehead against the closet as a silent struggle.
She was just with Zhou Yuchen…
Su Orange hand over her lips, not surprisingly that image surfaced again in her mind, he was so leaning over to come over, and how he turned his head to speak against her ear.
And how she turned her head over, and then…her lips were pressed against his cheek.
Every moment was like a slow play, every step was like a close-up, his slender neck, his collarbone, and the hidden gully under the collarbone…
Su Orange’s heart, which had just calmed down a bit, was once again restless, hitting her chest with raw pain.
She thought, she probably won’t need to sleep tonight.
Su Orange really didn’t sleep well, but it wasn’t because of this matter, but because Zhou Guiqin called her before she went to sleep.
The whole time she didn’t mention the matter of living expenses, and didn’t mention that she was going home for winter vacation, she kept mentioning to her to spend money to find Su Liangshu to ask for it, or else his money was also given to Junior and Junior’s child.
Su Orange waited for her to finish complaining before she spoke, “Actually, none of you need to give me, I can support myself.”
Su Orange has been doing part-time jobs during the summer vacation, and she also found two after coming to school, the one last week just ended, and there is still one in her hand, big deal, she will go back to it.
Work and study, she could still do it.
“What do you mean by that,” Zhou Guiqin said, “You mean I don’t care about you.”
Su Orange didn’t remember when they started to quarrel whenever they talked, other students’ mothers would care about how their children were doing, whether they had eaten well, whether they had drunk well, whether they had added more clothes when the weather got cold.
But Zhou Guiqin didn’t see any of this, and all she got was always blame and taunts.
Su Orange was really chilled, “Mom, what do you want from me?”
“What can I do, I want you to be good.” Zhou Guiqin said incoherently, “Why can’t you be a little more pleasant and affectionate to me like a daughter than others. I sometimes feel that raising you is even better than raising a dog or a cat.”
“You compare me to a dog or cat?” Su Orange’s heart crashed to the bottom, “I’m not even as good as these in your eyes.”
Perhaps sensing that she had said the wrong thing, Zhou Guiqin began to pull something else, but still not apologizing, “Don’t confuse me, I didn’t mean that, why are you like your father, so heartless.”
Pulling to Su Liangshu again, the same words Su Orange really heard enough, “Do you still have something to do?”
“Why, annoying again, your dad is also this dead, he can’t say more than a few sentences before annoying me, you all have no conscience.”
“The teacher who is checking the dormitory is coming, I’m going to sleep.” Su Orange said, “Let’s talk about something later.”
Without listening carefully to what Zhou Guiqin said again, Su Orange hung up the phone.
She did not go back to her dormitory immediately, but leaned against the wall and stared at the snow outside the window for a long time, if only the snow could cover all the troubles.
It is said that human sadness and joy are not interchangeable, just like at this moment, Su Orange was sad as hell because of this phone call from Zhou Guiqin, and someone in the long corridor was tweaking the phone.
“Mom, I know, I’ve worn all the fall pants and sweaters.”
“Well, I won’t freeze, oops, mom, can you stop being so nagging.”
“I know you’re worried about me, but I’m an adult, don’t always treat me like a child.”
“Living expenses…enough ah, understand, buy whatever you want, no need to save.”
“…… I saw a very beautiful dress, it’s just a little bit expensive, mom, so can I buy it?”
“Thanks mom, I love you mom.”
The girl on the phone and Su Orange were separated by a few meters, smiling while pampering.
Su Orange’s mood became even more depressing when she saw this scene.
There is a saying that is quite right, not everyone is worthy of being a parent, some people…are actually unworthy.
Su Orange sent a WeChat to Zhou Gui Qian before returning to the dormitory.
[It’s cold, remember to wear more clothes.]
In the end, Zhou Guiqin is still her mother, there is no way to completely make a cut.
After Zhou Yuchen returned to the dormitory, he helped Zhang Yang play several games, beating the other party’s wailing father.
Zhang Yang watched the game from the sidelines, looking at it, somewhat inexplicable, “Eh, Brother Sam, usually ask you to help play the game, but you are not happy about it, what’s wrong tonight?”
“Eh? What?”
“You even took the initiative to help me play tonight.” Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows, “Brother, is something good happening?”
“Just won you in a snowball fight, this isn’t a good thing?” Zhou Yuchen knocked down another one and continued to run forward.
“Nope, there must be something else.” Zhang Yang blindly guessed, “It’s definitely not as simple as winning a snowball fight.”
Zhou Yuchen lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, the corner of one side of his lips hooked down, smiling with some ulterior motives, “Then what do you think it’s because of?”
“I can’t guess specifically, but it’s definitely related to Su Orange.” Zhang Yang tsked, “You know the way you just protected her, like you were protecting your heart. And that look in your eyes, you were all glued to her. Those who don’t know would think you’re more innocent.”
Fuck, he’s the most innocent one, okay? He’s never had a girlfriend.
Zhou Yuchen’s eyelids lifted again, “Is it that evil?”
His voice was not controlled, the other people in the dormitory also heard, Zhao Chuan and Feng Zhao said in unison, “It’s that evil.”
“You just planted it.”
Zhou Yuchen’s lips hooked, smiling gangly and bad, “Planted, I’m happy.”
Zhang Yang didn’t hold back and disliked him, “Brother Sam do you know what you look like now?”
“What?”
“A peacock with its screen open, it’s so flirty.”
Zhao Chuan probed his head and agreed, “Slutty without boundaries, you can know your intentions even from a hundred thousand miles away.”
“Really know it all?” Zhou Yuchen’s throat knots rolled down as he hung back and said, “I don’t think she knows, and she’s still hiding there all the time.”
“You are going to swallow life, still not happy that people struggle struggle struggle ah.” Feng Zhao said, “Really overbearing.”
Zhou Yuchen put down his cell phone, picked up the cigarettes and lighter on the table, lit it and took a deep breath, the back of his head against the wall, his eyes looking upwards, his neck reflecting an upright arc, and said playfully:
“It’s useless to hide.”
Can’t hide at all.
The snow didn’t stop until the evening of the next day, after dinner, many people went to the playground to pile up snowmen, Yu Lele called Su Orange and Lin Mai together, said she wanted to pile up a triplet out.
Lin Mai laughed at her, “Different eggs?”
Yu Lele looked at the three snowmen that didn’t have any resemblance to each other and grinned, “Allochthonous is fine.”
Su Orange’s snowman was slow to pile up, and her gloves were soaked halfway through, so it was better not to wear them, she took them off and stuffed them in her pocket, and intuitively used her hands to grab the snow.
When she first touched it, she didn’t feel anything other than coolness, but after a long time, her fingertips started to become numb, then the upper half of her fingers, and then the whole fingers.
The palms were red through and through.
She scratched at the snow while huffing and puffing, filling the snowman’s nose and eyes.
Lin Mai said that she was doing it too seriously, it was almost enough, and pointed at her snowman’s crooked nose and said, “Don’t you think it’s cuter this way.”
Su Orange nodded, “It is quite cute.”
But she was still serious and pressed her snowman’s normal nose and eyes, the snowman’s neck was very empty, she touched the scarf around her neck, took it off and put it on the snowman.
Giving the wet gloves to the snowman as a hat over its head.
The last of the sunlight faded from the sky, the streetlights hadn’t come on yet, the whole campus was in a gray state, the snowman’s face was percolating with a faint halo of light, and those eyes looked as if they could talk.
It seemed to blink.
Su Orange realized that the eyebrows given to the snowman were a little less sturdy, to be blown off by the wind, she hurriedly walked over to save it, not paying too much attention, and the opposite side of the walking person collided with each other.
That person reacted quickly to hold her in his arms, and did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the force in his hands was very heavy, shackled her waist, so that she could not move.
Before Su Orange could see who it was, Lin Mai and Yu Lele’s snickering voices came one after another, “School Grass, let go, our Orange is going to have no way to breathe.”
Zhou Yuchen didn’t let go and didn’t look back at them, but stared at Su Orange and asked, “Why have you been avoiding me today?”
Su Orange bit her lip and did not return.
Zhou Yuchen raised his eyebrows and said muddy words with his face pressed against hers:
“What? Kissed me last night, shy ah.”
