These days she has been thinking about how to find an opportunity to apologize to Ban Sheng, but now she has caught him with another girl.
My mood now is aggrieved and guilty.
But the issue that stood between them had not been resolved yet. Lin Weixia suppressed the girlish emotions in her heart and planned to reconcile with Ban Sheng first before asking him about his relationship with the senior schoolmate.
She was sane enough for now.
But, Lin Weixia has never been good at coaxing people.
Moreover, this time it's probably not something that can be appeased by just a piece of plum candy.
Lin Weixia pushed open the door of the convenience store, and the cool air rushed over her. Her head was instantly less dizzy and she felt much more awake. She ordered a bowl of cart noodles, a serving of squid balls and kelp.
While waiting for the meal, Lin Weixia sat at the bar and sent a message to Wusuan:
Xia: [Senior, do you know what Ban Sheng likes? ]
Soon, the phone screen lit up and Wusuan replied to the message, unexpectedly:
[He likes you the most.]
Lin Weixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Thinking back to the scene just now, she really cared about it. She also told Cheng Wusuan about the incident of seeing Ban Sheng with that senior schoolmate, and replied:
[Not necessarily, and this time I was at fault first.]
Wu Suan replied: [Believe me, you are A Sheng's principleless and bottom line. ]
The convenience store waiter quickly rang the bell, and Lin Weixia went to get her meal with her phone in hand. After taking a few bites, she thought of something and sent a message to Qiu Minghua.
Xia: [Qiu Minghua, do you know what Ban Sheng likes? ]
Qiu Minghua quickly replied: [Let’s swim. Oh, and he likes to drink soup. Because Mr. Ban doesn’t sleep well, he likes to drink all kinds of soothing soups. Oh, I’m not saying that he has tried all kinds of soups in Nanjiang City. He is a soup connoisseur…]
Lin Weixia's eyebrows twitched, and she keenly grasped the key point and asked:
Why doesn't he sleep well
[Ah, I don't know. Even if I ask him, Mr. Ban won't tell me. There's still hope if you ask him.]
Lin Weixia did not reply to Qiu Minghua. After finishing her noodles, she went back to her evening study.
At five o'clock the next morning, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Lin Weixia stood in front of the integrated stove, her eyelids drooping, yawning continuously, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.
For a moment, Lin Weixia felt that she was crazy. In order to appease Ban Sheng, she actually got up early to make a soup for him to calm his nerves and reduce internal heat.
Because it takes a long time to make soup, and Lin Weixia had to wash up, by the time she poured the soup into the thermos and hurried to school, it was already very late, just in time for the rush hour.
The security guard chased and directed students riding bicycles on the sidewalk in the school, cursing: "You are not allowed to ride bicycles in the school. Get off! Help me to carry the bicycle inside!"
Lin Weixia was panting as she climbed to the fourth floor holding the thermos. Ban Sheng came towards her not far away. He was probably just coming down from the observatory over there and was about to enter the classroom.
Ban Sheng obviously saw her as well and did not avoid Lin Weixia's gaze.
When the two were only a few meters apart, Lin Weixia was about to call him when, with a "bang", a boy from Class 3 suddenly bumped into her from behind.
The boy was in a hurry to get into the classroom.
Lin Weixia felt a pain in her shoulder. She lost her balance and fell forward with the blue thermos in her hand, falling directly on Ban Sheng.
Ban Sheng stretched out his right hand and caught her steadily. A cool smell of tobacco came from her. Lin Weixia's forehead hit the collarbone at the point of his collar, causing a dull pain, but she didn't hear him make a sound.
At the same time, Ban Sheng quickly grabbed the boy who had bumped into someone and was about to run away. His cheek twitched and his expression was not very good, which was obviously a sign of getting angry.
"I'm sorry." The boy stammered.
He was scared to death of Ban Sheng, and just hated himself for being so clumsy at going out and running into him.
Lin Weixia looked up at Ban Sheng and said softly, "I'm fine."
Ban Sheng then let the man go. After the boy left, he also loosened his grip on Lin Weixia's arm and withdrew his gaze from her.
Just before the force completely disappeared, a slender white hand grabbed his palm tightly. The heat came, and Ban Sheng's heart seemed to be burned. The cold face finally reacted.
Ban Sheng lowered his neck and met a pair of cold and quiet eyes.
"I have something to tell you." Lin Weixia looked at him.
The two stood face to face, and when he heard her speak, Ban Sheng's expression relaxed. Students were coming and going in the corridor, and in order to avoid her being bumped into, the boy pulled her aside.
Lin Weixia handed the thermos bucket to him and paused, "I made soup for you."
Ban Sheng's thin eyelids moved, and he reached his hand out of his trouser pocket to take the thermos. He unscrewed the lid and smelled a fragrant aroma. It was the sour jujube kernel and lily soup for calming the nerves.
The hot steam blows on my face, it was just cooked this morning.
Everyone can cater to someone's preferences, but this is Lin Weixia trying to coax people.
Ban Sheng tightened the lid and took it in his hand without returning it. He sneered and asked her:
"Who did you ask for help?"
Seeing Ban Sheng's casual attitude and tone, Lin Weixia knew that he must have calmed down a lot, and breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of how he had left her alone for so many days, she said with a somewhat aggrieved tone:
“I looked for a lot of people.”
Just by listening to her deliberately soft voice, Ban Sheng knew what was in her mind. She took advantage of her unconditional love for him and pretended to be pitiful to soften his heart.
You don’t get this kind of treatment normally.
"You haven't spoken to me for three days." Lin Weixia accused calmly.
Ban Sheng looked at her without saying anything. Lin Weixia felt a little guilty about his look, as if Ban Sheng had only ignored her for one class at the beginning, but she was still nitpicking. So she just ignored him and neither of them spoke later.
The Cold War was a protracted war between two equally powerful people.
"My problem is quite big." Lin Weixia clasped her hands together and said with a smile.
Ban Sheng remembered something and asked her:
"Qiu Minghua told me this morning that you came to the basketball court to see me yesterday?"
"Um."
Looking at Ban Sheng's expression, Lin Weixia knew that Li Yiran was lying when he said Ban Sheng didn't want to see her, but she also understood that he was angry for Ban Sheng from his friend's perspective.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't think before I spoke." Lin Weixia pulled his shirt tighter, took the initiative to move an inch closer, opened her amber eyes, "If you're still angry, I won't do anything else if you ask me to—"
Before Lin Weixia could finish her words, an oppressive shadow fell. Ban Sheng, who was standing in the corridor, lowered his neck, leaned over and pinched her face in front of so many people coming and going.
Lin Weixia frowned in pain, her eyes welling with tears, but Ban Sheng still didn't let go, instead he increased the strength in his hands.
He doesn't know how to feel sorry for others at all.
Ban Sheng chuckled, his dark eyes fixed on her, as if he was sighing and helpless, his voice vibrated in her ears, and he laughed:
"I give in. Do you think I'll let you coax me?"
Can't bear to.
He couldn't bear to see her frowning and continuing to coax others.
Ever since the YCH website exposed the photo of Ban Sheng wiping a girl's tears on the street, the number of visitors to the website has only increased, and many people log in daily, waiting to see if there is any new revelation.
Over time, in addition to the campus network forum, YCH became the message site with the largest traffic in Shenzhen High School, because it is anonymous, the moderators rarely interfere, and everyone can speak freely.
Gradually, many people began to share their daily lives on it, or talk about the insignificant troubles they were encountering at the moment.
The atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
It is now like a secret base where anyone can talk freely.
The group of A students discovered that they didn’t know whether it was because Lin Weixia had been with Ban Sheng for a long time and Ban Sheng indulged her in everything, or whether this was the real Lin Weixia.
Her aura was getting stronger and stronger, and the girls didn't dare to confront her openly. The second-year class continued to maintain a peaceful atmosphere, at least on the surface.
On the weekend, Ban Sheng asked Lin Weixia to come to his house.
After Lin Weixia finished her work at the fruit shop, she took a book and took the bus directly to Ban Sheng's house. When she arrived at No. 1 Nanwan District, it was her aunt who opened the door for her.
The two walked through the lush palm trees in front of the courtyard. Auntie led Lin Weixia into the hall, made her a pot of Ceylon tea, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, Auntie will go to work first. The young master should be upstairs. You can go upstairs and find him directly."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Qin." Lin Weixia replied with a smile.
Lin Weixia drank two sips of water and went upstairs to find Ban Sheng. She opened the door of his room and found it empty. She looked around upstairs and downstairs but didn't see Ban Sheng.
Lin Weixia was standing downstairs, texting him on her cell phone while pushing open the French window. She was standing in front of the swimming pool, with the endless glacier blue before her eyes and a faint smell of chlorine.
The blue swimming pool and the apple green of the courtyard not far away form two color palettes.
Lin Weixia stood at the edge of the swimming pool, clicked on the black avatar, edited and sent it in the dialog box:
[Where have you been? I didn't see you.]
The message was sent, but there was no response from the audience. Lin Weixia was just about to turn around and leave the swimming pool when suddenly a splash of water hit her feet, making her feel cold.
"Xia Xia."
Lin Weixia turned around subconsciously, and saw a figure jumping out of the water by the swimming pool, splashing white water. Ban Sheng was lazily leaning on the shore with his elbows. His hair was wet, and his eyebrows were high, revealing half of his muscular chest, with water droplets rolling down his face.
There is an air of ruffian desire all over his body.
Ban Sheng shook the water off his hair, and large and small water droplets hit Lin Weixia's eyes, chest, and arms, and quickly dripped down along her skin. It was very cool and comfortable, as if it dissipated the heat brought by this summer.
His expression was relaxed, and his wet black hair made his eyes shine darkly, like a giant dog.
"Come down." Ban Sheng called her.
Lin Weixia wore a black and white plaid dress with flying sleeves today, revealing a pair of straight and slender white calves, cool and moving. Ban Sheng stayed underwater, glanced at her legs, and his eyes darkened for a moment.
Lin Weixia shook her head and subconsciously took two steps back: "I can't swim."
But Ban Sheng didn't let her go, only asked her to stay with him. His indoor swimming pool was spacious and comfortable, and Lin Weixia simply sat on the lounge chair to read a book. There were two iced drinks on the round table next to her, one was iced tangerine juice and the other was iced tea.
Ban Sheng also asked Lin Weixia to take off her hearing aid in case he accidentally damaged it in the swimming pool.
When Lin Weixia got tired of reading, she would take a break to relax her eyes. She saw Ban Sheng dive into the swimming pool and swim forward. The lines of his arms and back were smooth and full of strength.
It reminds me of the beautiful ridges on animals.
After swimming for a short while, Ban Sheng was still underwater, still determined to trick people out:
"Come down, I'll teach you."
"After the swim, I'll accompany you to do whatever you want."
Lin Weixia's finger was on page 298 of the novel, without moving. She was reading a suspenseful mystery novel. After a perverted doctor killed his wife, he decomposed her body piece by piece and put it into plastic bags, which were finally stored in his laboratory.
She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't listen to Ban Sheng's lies at all.
Ban Sheng chuckled and remembered something: "That girl, I need to explain something to you."
If Wu Suan hadn't reminded him, Ban Sheng wouldn't have known that she saw him after school that day.
Lin Weixia's long eyelashes moved. She closed the book and waited for Ban Sheng to continue. He said in a gentle and persuasive way, "Come down and tell you."
"Then I don't want to listen." Lin Weixia said.
Ban Sheng gave her the middle finger, obviously not believing her, but he gave up trying to persuade her and dived into the water, starting a new round of swimming.
Lin Weixia turned her attention back to the novel. She read for a long time. Suddenly, Ban Sheng emerged from the water and approached the shore. White water splashed onto the shore, and Lin Weixia's calves felt wet.
"My leg seems to be cramping." Ban Sheng spoke, his voice slightly hoarse.
Lin Weixia immediately closed the book and walked quickly to the edge of the swimming pool. When she squatted down, the back of her skirt was stained with water on the ground, but she didn't care.
Ban Sheng was soaking in the water. His cold face was a little pale, his handsome brows were tightly furrowed, and he didn't move.
As he frowned, Lin Wei's eyes were filled with worry. She leaned over and stretched out her hand, speaking gently, "Are you okay? Why don't you come up first?"
The white lotus-like arm stretched out, and the boy slowly pulled back his hand, with his broad palm resting on the white and tender palm. Lin Weixia wanted to pull him out with force, but Ban Sheng unexpectedly took the force and pulled hard.
With a "splash", Lin Weixia fell into the swimming pool. She kept sinking like a landlubber and then quickly waved her arms to float up.
Ban Sheng smiled at her with his head down at first, but later he laughed out loud, his whole chest shaking with joy.
Lin Weixia had a mouthful of water and continued to sink. She tried to hold her breath like the people who fell into the water in the movies. At that moment, it seemed as if all the pressure and obsession that had been weighing on her brain for a long time disappeared.
She actually felt a sense of relaxation she had never felt before.
But her body kept sinking, causing Lin Weixia to panic and her consciousness to become anxious. Just when she was at a loss, Ban Sheng swam down, came to her side, put his arm around Lin Weixia's shoulders with one hand, and swam towards the surface with the other hand.
In fact, the water in the swimming pool where she was staying was not deep, the kind that an adult could stand up in. It was just that Lin Weixia was too fearful due to preconceived notions and did not realize this.
Besides, he was there, so nothing would happen to her. Ban Sheng just wanted to tease Lin Weixia, because the little girl was usually too serious and wanted to relax her.
Lin Weixia had no idea what he was thinking. After drowning and floating to the surface again, she took a deep breath of fresh air and survived.
She only knew that the boy in front of her was really bad.
"It's all your fault."
"I told you I can't swim."
The more Lin Weixia thought about it, the more scared and aggrieved she felt. She reached out to hit Ban Sheng on the shoulder. She seemed really scared and kept hitting him.
Ban Sheng let her hit him, staring at Lin Weixia.
Every time he hit him, the two of them got closer. The look in his eyes was so hot that it brought Lin Weixia back to her senses. She realized belatedly that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Ban Sheng held her hips with one hand, and the two of them were very close, breathing quietly and entangled with each other. The water in the swimming pool was cold, but Lin Weixia felt a layer of sweat on her back, which was hot.
A rogue-looking face was close at hand, and the mole on the cheek looked cold yet lustful.
Lin Weixia moved her curled fingers, and as if bewitched, she reached out to touch the mole. The moment she touched it, her heart felt numb. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Ban Sheng grabbed her wrist.
Ban Sheng's eyes were fixed on her. Lin Weixia looked back. Every time she looked into his eyes, she felt like she was jumping into flames. She didn't know what would happen.
She tried hard to calm herself down. She had one hand on his shoulder because she was afraid of falling into the water, but now her nails were so nervous that they pinched his broad shoulder, leaving a red mark.
shocking.
Ban Sheng's eyes were fixed on her, and Lin Weixia unconsciously let go.
She would rather fall back into the water.
The moment she let go, Ban Sheng suddenly moved closer, and her wrist was suddenly pressed against the cold wall of the swimming pool. An aggressive breath assaulted her, and the warm and moist breath suddenly came close, but they were only a few feet away, separated by a thin layer of air.
Like a light butterfly that is about to land under the tower in spring but is reluctant to do so.
