Since meeting Zhou Jingze unexpectedly outside the school last time, Xu Sui has reduced the number of times he ran outside in order not to let him meet him again.
But some people, the more you flee, the more you can see him.
In mid-April, the school had a cooperative project with the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing North Medical University. It was a volunteer activity. It recruited medical social workers from freshmen to provide services and rescue for special groups in the hospital. The time was one week.
Xu Sui took a look at the registration requirements and signed up. On the first day, she was almost late, got dressed, took a piece of bread, and hurried out the door.
She took the bus all the way to the city hospital. When she got off the bus, she saw a crowd of people running past in a panic not far away. She panted and said, "Sorry, I'm late."
In the middle of the crowd stood a boy, wearing a white shirt, with a straight back, his back to Xu Sui, holding a folder and clicking on it. Xu Sui looked familiar at the back, but when he turned around, she was dumbfounded.
Shi Yuejie pretended to knock on her with a blue file folder, and said with a gentle smile, "Quickly stand in the line."
When the number of people was counted, Shi Yuejie stood in front of him. The morning sun was a bit dazzling. He squinted and looked at the team in front of him. Xu Sui was standing at the very end, wearing an apple green sweater and light blue jeans. Her black hair was tied back in a mess, and she kept fanning the wind with her hands, her fair cheeks swelled up like a little goldfish.
After the roll call, Shi Yuejie sent them a list of groups, and they each took transportation to go to the places where they needed services. Orphan children do psychological counseling.
Xu Sui stayed in the orphanage for a day and learned that a child with congenital heart disease suffered from depression because of the environment in which she grew up. She drew pictures on the ground, and the castle she drew was closed without a door.
"Why doesn't this castle have a door?" Xu Sui patted her head and asked gently.
The little girl replied: "Because the bad guy closed the door."
Xu Sui took out a tree branch and drew a door in the castle, the corners of his lips curled up: "Look, there is a door."
"If the bad guy closes the door, we will create a door ourselves." After Xu Sui said this, he was stunned, as if thinking of something, and fell into deep thought.
After a day of medical social work service, Xu Sui took the bus back to school. Unexpectedly, when he got off the bus, he ran into Shi Yuejie who also finished his service volunteer activities.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Shi Yuejie walked over and handed her a box of milk. Xu Sui took it, inserted the straw into the mouth of the silver tissue paper, and said, "Thank you."
The two walked side by side on the aisle of the campus, Shi Yuejie asked concerned: "How do you feel? Are you tired today?"
"It feels pretty good," Xu Sui nodded, thinking for a while, "I'm a little tired."
"That's good."
Afterwards, Shi Yuejie shared with her his one-day service experience, understating the difficulties and telling a few interesting things. Xu Sui listened attentively, showing a smile from time to time.
Xu Sui was biting the milk straw, with doubts in his clean eyes: "I didn't expect you to be the person in charge of this event. Brother, are you busy now in your junior year? Or do you mean that the higher the position, the more responsible you will be."
"Busy, I wanted to refuse," Shi Yuejie looked at her with a slow tone, "but I saw your name on the list, so I decided to come."
Xu Sui was stunned, she was drinking milk and was startled, her throat couldn't get her breath for a while, she coughed violently, her eyes filled with tears.
Shi Yuejie raised his hand subconsciously, and his palm stopped when he was only two centimeters away from her. Finally, he patted her on the back lightly and smiled gently: "Did I scare you? Don't be burdened by this matter. "
Zhou Jingze had just finished his training and arrived at their school when he encountered this scene. It was April, and the school's magnolia flowers were blooming in large numbers. The two of them stood under the tree, with an intimate posture, and the damp wind blew, sending a sweet and greasy aroma to him.
He narrowed his eyes and sneered.
Looks like a good fit.
Xu Sui managed to calm down and felt a scorching gaze fall on him. When he raised his eyes, he saw Zhou Jingze not far away.
He was wearing gray-green uniforms, smoking a cigarette with one hand, his jawline was sharply curved, and he looked straight at her with emotions in his eyes.
Direct, indifferent, full of desire.
Xu Sui's heart trembled, and when her eyes met, she hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at her again.
Obviously, Shi Yuejie also saw Zhou Jingze. It is no accident that he confessed his intentions with Xu Sui today. Ever since Xu Sui was framed for cheating, he helped investigate and gave her justice.
He seemed to have won that matter, but Zhou Jingze did not know what method he used to get the girl to apologize directly to Xu Sui.
Shi Yuejie knew he had lost, he was no match for Zhou Jingze.
Zhou Jingze is this kind of person. Rather than pursuing a fair way, he prefers to use his own way of dealing with it, telling Shi Yuejie that I am better than you.
But during this time, Shi Yuejie saw that Zhou Jingze was not around Xu Sui, and she didn't run out often. He intends to seize this opportunity to be honest with himself. After all, there is nothing dirty and shameful about liking someone.
Shi Yuejie took the initiative to walk in front of Zhou Jingze, with a gentle tone: "Jingze, what do you want from me?"
Zhou Jingze took the cigarette out of his mouth, sneered after hearing this, and said in a cold voice, "Who is looking for you?"
The two looked straight at each other, and there was an undercurrent of tension flowing between them. Xu Sui stood behind Shi Yuejie and forced herself not to look at that person, because she felt sad when she saw him.
When the atmosphere between the two was tense and unable to relax, Xu Sui squeezed the corner of the milk box and hurried past Zhou Jingze with his head bowed. The evening wind blew through his hair, and a strand of hair inadvertently touched the tip of Zhou Jingze's nose, and the very faint scent of camellias passed by.
Zhou Jingze turned his head, stared at the back who was running faster than a rabbit, and squinted his eyes: "Xu Sui."
Xu Sui paused, then raised his feet and left without looking back.
Only then did Zhou Jingze realize that the girl was angry, and it was more serious than he imagined.
—
Xu Sui still went to teach Sheng Yanjia's children this semester, but she shifted her time to Friday to avoid running into Zhou Jingze.
As a result, on Friday afternoon, Sheng Yanjia mysteriously sent her a text message, asking Xu Sui to arrive early. Xu Sui didn't doubt him, and came to Sheng Jiayan to teach Sheng Jiayan two math lessons. After assigning two homework, he patted the kid's head as usual:
"The teacher is gone."
"Hey, Teacher Xiao Xu, let's have dinner at my house tonight." Sheng Yanjia pulled her back.
"I won't eat anymore, the teacher is on a diet recently." Xu Sui told a lie to prevaricate Sheng Yanjia.
The little curly immediately lay down on the table, and said with a sleepy look: "But today is my birthday."
"Your birthday—why didn't you tell me in advance, I didn't prepare anything." Xu Sui was surprised.
At this moment, Mother Sheng pushed the door open and entered. She dressed up specially today, the cheongsam was buttoned up with a hookah, and the two emerald green earrings set off her skin white and creamy, generous and charming.
Mother Sheng's face was full of enthusiasm, and she hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, you can stay and eat. You don't need to prepare anything. If you don't stay, this kid should blame me."
The hospitality was hard to come by, Xu Sui had no choice but to compromise with the imploring big eyes of the little ghost, and nodded. Sheng Yanjia immediately jumped up from the stool and invited her:
"Teacher, let's go downstairs to play. I have invited many classmates, and my brother, Brother Jingze, are also here."
Hearing a certain name, Xu Sui's eyebrows twitched, and she said: "You go downstairs to play first, the teacher wants to rest, can I play your game console for a while?"
"Of course, Teacher Xiao Xu, I'll go down first." Sheng Yanjia said.
After they went downstairs, Xu Sui sat on the soft carpet in the room. Not long after, he heard noisy voices, talking and laughing from downstairs.
One of the voices was close to metal, mixed with a loose tone, and she recognized it immediately.
Xu Sui collected his mind, held the switch handle, and focused on the game. She hasn't played a game for a long time, and when she encounters this kind of competitive survival game, she feels a faint sense of excitement in her bones. She clears the level and completes the mission all the way.
When Hu Qianxi pushed the door and entered, this was the scene she saw. Xu Sui had a soft face, killing soldiers without blinking his eyes, and calmness on his porcelain white face.
"Damn, this operation is so cruel, baby, I suspect that everyone is fooled by your looks to think you are good." Hu Qianxi patted her on the head, "Baby, let's go downstairs for dinner."
Xu Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, his black eyes stared at the big screen without moving, he was very focused, and his voice was vague: "You go first, I will finish this one."
It's been too long since I played, it's always a bit addicting.
After Hu Qianxi went downstairs, Xu Sui played this round for a long time. After she collected the last drop of the enemy's blood, she inadvertently raised her eyes to check the time, was startled, and hurried downstairs.
When Xu Sui went downstairs, he found that the people were almost full, and found that there was only one seat left. Coincidentally, it was the empty seat next to that person.
The man's back was facing her, wearing black short sleeves, leaning back lazily on the chair, unpacking the candy on the table, the spines on the back of his neck looked cold and attractive.
Sheng Yanjia was surrounded by several children and laughed happily. When he saw Xu Sui, he was afraid that she might not hear him, so he shouted loudly, "Mr. Xu, come quickly."
Xu Sui had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over, and sat next to Zhou Jingze. From the moment he was seated, Xu Sui applauded and smiled with everyone, trying not to let himself look at the people next to him.
Zhou Jingze sat there lazily with a relaxed expression, smiling unscrupulously, and was interested in teasing Sheng Yanjia, which almost made him cry.
The two of them were close, and occasionally their elbows bumped into each other inadvertently. The knuckles of his wrist were clearly defined, and a little stiff. It was only for a moment, but the feeling was obvious.
Xu Sui trembled in his heart, and let go hastily.
Xu Sui sat next to him, the smell of mint wafted from his body, bit by bit, permeated in front of him, unable to avoid it, so he could only focus on the food in front of him.
People from Jingbei tend to eat sweet food, but Xu Sui likes spicy food. After a table of dishes, only a plate of mapo tofu is more suitable for her taste. The children present were even more picky eaters, playing with the dishes on the disc as a turntable. Often she wanted to pick up this dish, but it flew past her.
Seeing that the dishes were about to be transferred to Xu Sui, the next second, the disc started to move, she sighed inwardly, and retracted the chopsticks.
Zhou Jingze was sitting on one side, casually chatting with other people, the back of his head seemed to have eyes, his right arm was arched, the arm was smooth and beautiful, his palm was directly on the glass surface, no matter what Sheng Yanjia could do move.
Sheng Yan summed up feeling that Zhou Jingze liked to fight against him, and felt very wronged: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Zhou Jing raised his thin eyelids and glanced at him, and asked slowly, "Is it okay to add vegetables?"
Sheng Yanjia was afraid that his brother looked at people like this, his eyes were calm, but he felt like he was being beaten afterwards. The little curly let go decisively, and said doglegly: "It's okay, you pinch, I don't dare to spin around again."
Zhou Jingze casually picked up a dish next to Mapo Tofu, and Xu Sui also ate the dish she wanted without any problems.
Halfway through the meal, Xu Sui choked a little. When he was looking for water, a slender, white-skinned hand held a glass of water. The light blue blood vessels on the back of the hand were obvious, and the black mole on the tiger's mouth appeared brightly in front of his eyes. A glass of water Appeared next to her.
So he just did that for her
Xu Sui didn't dare to look up into his eyes, and said softly, "Thank you."
There was an unexplained and loose chuckle above his head, the ending was long and deep, and Xu Sui felt his neck was itchy and hot.
After the meal, it was time to cut the cake and make birthday wishes. Sheng Yanjia successfully blew out 11 candles with everyone's lively blessings.
Zhou Jingze was generous and directly gave him a set of adult high-quality limited-edition Marvel figure figures. Everyone sent their own gifts one after another, Xu Sui was a little embarrassed: "The teacher will make it up for you next time, happy birthday, good words and add children."
"Then you can't forget."
"must."
…
When Sheng Yanjia's birthday was almost over, Xu Sui glanced at the time, and it was almost ten o'clock, and Hu Qianxi also came to look for him: "Should we go back, it's almost time for the dormitory access control."
"Well, wait for me first, my things are still upstairs." Xu Sui nodded.
After finishing speaking, Xu Sui hurried to Sheng Yanjia's room to pack his things, including pens, mirrors and other things, and put them all in his bag.
Xu Sui was in a daze while packing her things. She turned around with the book in her arms, bumped into a hard chest unexpectedly, raised her head, and met a pair of bottomless black eyes.
The eyes are domineering and full of inexplicable emotions, like a wild beast, capable of engulfing her at any time.
Xu Sui's heart tightened, he hugged the book tightly, and walked sideways to the other side. Zhou Jingze was carrying a red and white coat, with a foolish smile on his face, and lazily lifted his foot, blocking her, not letting her Let go.
Xu Sui pursed his lips tightly, she turned to the left, Zhou Jingze followed, and when she turned to the right, he also followed.
His expression is always sloppy, with a smile on his face, a posture of teasing a cat.
Zhou Jingze leaned sideways in front of Xu Sui, locked her eyes tightly, and spoke;
"Talk."
Xu Sui didn't want to unravel that matter again, and faced Zhou Jingze's coldness and impatience towards her at that time, she just wanted to escape: "I still have something to do."
After speaking, taking advantage of Zhou Jingze's inattention, he walked to the side. Zhou Jingze reacted quickly, took two steps back, and directly blocked the door.
Xu Sui was about to leave, Zhou Jingze raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, tightened it tightly, looked down at her, and squinted dissatisfiedly:
"Where are you hiding?"
His hand grabbed her wrist, and the warm skin pressed against her. Xu Sui broke free, but he clamped it tightly, exerting a little force unconsciously.
Zhou Jingze leaned on the door frame, and slowly moved closer, with his head and neck lowered, and the two of them were very close. His tone was easy to handle, and the combined voice was domineering and powerful:
"I don't want you to go, can you go?"
Xu Sui turned his face away and didn't speak. Zhou Jingze thought she had compromised on this, and when he was about to have a good talk with her, a crystal clear and hot tear fell on the back of his hand.
It inexplicably burned his heart.
Zhou Jingze looked down and found that he was gripping too hard, and Xu Sui had a red mark on his fair wrist. Zhou Jingze immediately let go, and found that her eyes were red, and there was a feeling of panic in her heart.
After Xu Sui got his freedom, he hurried forward with his book in his arms. Zhou Jingze suddenly spoke in a deep and serious voice:
"sorry."
