Tang You's heart was about to jump out of her throat. She originally just wanted to hide in the dark and act smart, but she didn't expect to meet this man head on.
The "big-character poster" filled with her indignation was now lying quietly beside the man's feet, swaying in the wind from time to time.
It seemed like it would flip over in the next second, revealing the words on the back.
The man had already spoken. Tang You tried hard to calm her pounding heart. She looked straight ahead as if nothing had happened, pretending not to know him and not to want to talk to Zhou Qinyao, and slowly walked towards the alley.
"You've got the wrong person," she said.
By the way, when he walked to Zhou Qinyao, he quietly stepped on the paper on the ground with his foot. There was glue on the back of the paper, and Tang You easily stuck to the sole of his feet.
She wanted to take it away without anyone noticing, but—
A slender leg slowly stretched out and stopped her.
Tang You's heart skipped a beat. Although he was extremely panicked, he still managed to remain calm and asked:
"I told you, I don't know you."
"Don't know him?"
Zhou Qinyao chuckled, as if he had completely seen through her thoughts. He bent down calmly, then lifted Tang You's legs and pulled the paper out from under her feet.
Tang You: “…”
The second before Zhou Qinyao's eyes fell on the paper, Tang You thought about snatching the paper back, but it was too late.
The man saw it all.
The light in his eyes was dark and cold. He raised his head slightly and stared at Tang You with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.
Absurd, but also somewhat ironic.
Zhou Qinyao picked up the paper and asked casually, "What does this mean?"
After a few seconds of silence, Tang You's cheeks turned slightly red, but her voice was slightly tenacious:
"Don't you know what it means?"
You ask questions even though you already know the answer!
It has come to this. Tang You bit her lower lip and mustered up her courage to vent all the anger she hadn't vented at noon:
"Don't you have any idea of what you have done?"
Zhou Qinyao lowered his head and looked at the two lines of words printed on the paper again—
This person is perverted! Dangerous!
Girls please stay away!
The font is also bolded.
He smiled meaningfully and said nothing.
His body slowly moved towards Tang You. The dead end was only a few meters long and Tang You was forced into a corner with no way to retreat.
Zhou Qinyao blocked all of Tang You's space to retreat.
He deliberately trapped her in a small corner, and his voice fell low:
"How am I a pervert, huh? How about you show me how I am?"
"… "
Tang You was trapped in a corner by the man, desperately thinking that something was going to happen. She closed her eyes and frantically tried to pull and push him, her face flushed with anxiety:
"Get out of the way! Do you believe I shouted?"
After a long while—"Miss."
Zhou Qinyao chuckled: "It seems that I should be the first one to call out."
The man's low, magnetic voice fell softly and lazily: "Why are you taking off my clothes?"
Tang You was stunned and opened his eyes.
The zipper of the man's leather jacket was half open, and the collar of his T-shirt underneath was also tilted, revealing one side of his collarbone.
Sexy and cool.
"… "
Tang You had never seen a man's body so closely, not even a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.
Her face turned even redder, followed by an inexplicable feeling of shame and anger.
Pushing the man away with all his might, Tang You fled in panic. After running a few steps, he turned back, still unable to let go, and sternly rebuked him:
"I won't let a scoundrel like you who touches people's butts go!"
Zhou Qinyao was stunned, as if he had heard a joke: "Me? Touch you?"
In fact, Tang You felt ashamed to say such words publicly. Perhaps it was the man's teasing just now that made her confused and lost her mind.
Just at this moment, something touched my butt again, like a dragonfly touching the water.
The feeling is exactly the same as yesterday...
As if adding fuel to the fire, Tang You's ears quickly turned red, and without thinking, he pointed at Zhou Qinyao: "You still—"
Before she finished speaking, she obviously realized that something was wrong.
This man is standing in front of her now, it can't be him.
Almost at the same time, Tang You heard a sound in her ears. She turned around and saw a small remote-controlled plane fell at her feet.
Not far away, a teenage boy was holding a remote control, pointing at his butt with an apologetic look on his face and said to her:
"Sister, sister, I'm sorry, I bumped into you again."
Tang You remembered this boy. When he passed under the locust tree at noon, he was playing with a remote-controlled plane. He didn't seem to be very skilled, and the plane was always flying around without direction.
He now uses the word "again", does this mean...
Tang You accepted this truth in a daze.
After Song Xiaoyang picked up the plane, he said to himself, "Brother Yao said that if you hit someone, you should apologize. I'll be good, so I said it."
Then he ran away happily.
…
Suddenly, they were the only two people left in the alley.
Facing each other, the air was eerily quiet, with the sound effect of some crows flying overhead.
Tang You looked at the man, whom she had angrily denounced as a pervert a minute ago, at a loss.
He seemed to understand everything, and called out calmly, "Soy Sauce Girl."
Then he came over lazily, lowered his eyes and asked her: "Do I look so much like a bad guy?"
He was very close to her, and Tang You could clearly see his cold facial features, his playful smile, and the embarrassment and shame in his eyes.
Their eyes were fixed on each other, Tang You's face turned red, and she couldn't say a word.
Her skin was originally fair, but now it had two red spots on it, making her look like a cute rabbit.
Zhou Qinyao found it more and more interesting: "Hey, I have a question for you."
Tang You lowered her head, paused, and suddenly pushed him away, running forward without looking back just like she did at noon.
My thoughts were clear before, and I was looking for a way everywhere, but I just couldn’t get out.
Now I was as confused as a headless fly, but I ran out of the alley in less than two minutes.
Long after returning home, Tang You still remembered the passionate and intense eye contact with the man.
This was the first time she was so close to a man. In the past in Haicheng, even if it was just a call from a male classmate, Fang Lai would ask questions for a long time.
Fang Lai was keen on having Tang You interact with the powerful young masters in Haicheng. She took Tang You to several cocktail parties and met several young masters from famous families. Those people were polite to Tang You and never overstepped the line, and seemed very upright.
However, one time when Tang You was hiding in the garden to get some fresh air, he heard two people say -
"How is the daughter of the Tang family?"
"She looks pretty, but she's too quiet. She probably won't make any noises in bed."
"Oh, we won't know whether it will scream until we get on with it."
"Then why don't you try it?"
The two men laughed out loud. In their eyes, women were commodities that could be shared and communicated with each other.
From then on, no matter how much Fang Lai asked, Tang You never attended any social events. Her understanding and distance with men ended at that cocktail party.
But today, she was so close to a strange man.
Tang You still remembers his slightly ruffian smile and the warm smell of tobacco in his mouth. He pounced on her gently, making her blush.
She couldn't help but think of the man's ripped collar and cold collarbone.
Tang You rubbed his hair, how could things turn out like this...
She was a little annoyed, but she didn't know where the annoyance came from. So she picked up the cello and tried to erase the incident from her mind and forget it by practicing.
I pooped seriously for the whole afternoon and thought I had forgotten everything that happened today. But after I went to bed and closed my eyes at night, within ten seconds, the man's face flashed in my mind again like a demon.
After tossing and turning, Tang You finally sat up and sighed helplessly.
She mistook someone for a pervert and even tried to post a big-character poster about him. After finding out the truth, she didn't even say sorry. No wonder she's unable to sleep or eat now.
This is probably the condemnation from conscience.
The pale moonlight shone on Tang You's face, and the little girl's eyes were gentle. She looked across the street quietly for a while, and finally decided -
Go apologize to that man tomorrow.
The next day was Monday, which was also the day Tang You reported to No. 5 Middle School.
The No. 5 Middle School in City C is a school that focuses on art education. It has international classes that cooperate with foreign universities, as well as ordinary classes. It gathers countless beautiful faces with high looks and unrestrained manners, and is a fashion vane for students in the whole city.
Tang You didn't expect that she would become a hot topic on her first day of registration, and the reason was because she was wearing a school uniform.
In No. 5 Middle School, which pursues individuality, Tang You looks like an ancient alien in his school uniform.
The boys discussed privately:
Have you seen the beautiful girl who transferred from the international class? She's so soft and nice. I want to rub her!
Just try your luck. Those who can go to the international class have rich families. If your family doesn’t have a mine, forget it.
Eh? Do you think she is prettier than Cheng Xuan
…
Cheng Xuan, the campus beauty of No. 5 Middle School, happened to pass by and heard these words. She gave them a cold look, and the boys immediately shut up and dispersed like birds and beasts.
Cheng Xuan is also in her third year of high school. Although she is in an ordinary class, she has become the school beauty of No. 5 Middle School because of her outstanding looks and hot temper.
Thinking of what the boys had just said, she chewed gum and asked her friend, "What's that girl's name?"
"Tang You, just transferred here."
"Oh." Cheng Xuan blew a big bubble and glanced at the international class in the opposite building: "Go and see how beautiful it is when you have time."
Because many students have small art classes in the evening, there is no evening self-study in No. 5 Middle School.
At 6:30 in the afternoon, Tang You walked out of the school.
The driver was waiting for her at the school gate. On the way back, Tang You still remembered the decision she made last night.
She wanted to apologize to that man and make a formal apology.
When she was almost home, she opened the car window and looked across. As dusk fell, the alley was lit up with stars of light, warm and beautiful.
Although she didn't know the man's name or where he lived, Tang You clearly heard the little boy call him "Brother Yao" in the alley yesterday.
So she got off the bus under the pretext of buying stationery and secretly went to a small shop in the alley. She hesitated for a long time before asking the proprietress: "Auntie, may I ask—"
After a pause, he asked, "Where does Brother Yao live?"
Aunt Xian saw that it was the girl who bought soy sauce again. The little girl had her hair tucked behind her ears neatly. She was wearing the school uniform of No. 5 Middle School. She was in the same school as her daughter, so she seemed particularly friendly.
She didn't think much about it, guessing that he was also a nearby resident, so she replied: "Why don't you ask Qin Yao? He hasn't come back yet at this time."
Auntie Xian stood up and pointed ahead: "Go straight, turn left at that intersection and there's a car repair shop called AS. Qin Yao is probably still busy there."
"Oh, thank you."
Tang You didn't expect it to be so smooth.
She had made up her mind before coming here, but now that she asked for the man's address, she became a little nervous again.
Just go like this
A little embarrassing.
She thanked Auntie Xian and left, thinking about how to leave in a less abrupt way.
Suddenly, Tang You remembered that Aunt Rong was fiddling with the bicycle she brought at the door yesterday. She originally wanted to ride it to the vegetable market, but the chain fell off temporarily.
The little girl made her decision and ran home quickly.
Ten minutes later, Tang You found the store that Aunt Xian mentioned.
The shop sign simply read "AS". Tang You stood at the door and saw several young and strong men walking back and forth in the shop, but did not see the man.
She parked the car and walked in, gently poking a staff member on the back:
"Excuse me, is there a person named Qin Yao..."
The man turned around, looked Tang You up and down for a few seconds, and whistled frivolously: "Brother Yao, there is a beauty looking for you!"
Tang You was not used to such teasing. She put her hands behind her back nervously and lowered her head. She was just about to repeat what she was going to say in her mind when a faint voice sounded behind her:
"Who's looking for me?"
Tang You's heart skipped a beat and he turned around.
Zhou Qinyao was wearing only a black vest, with large tattoos covering his shoulders and arms, and his strong muscles made his body lines perfect. He had a silver chain hanging around his neck, and the pendant was very special, like an abstract letter Y, but it looked like the moon when you looked closely.
The man was wiping his hands with a towel. When he saw Tang You in school uniform, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice with a half-smile: "It's you?"
As he wiped his hands, the muscles on his arms rose and fell, and the tattoos on them seemed to have souls, emitting strong temptation and bewitching.
It is clearly fierce and evil, but paradoxically it also exudes a violent visual stunningness.
Tang You was inexplicably fascinated by the scene.
She didn't even dare to think about doing something as cool as getting a tattoo.
Seeing that the girl was silent and staring at him, Zhou Qinyao took a step forward with interest:
"Why, beautiful?"
"… "
Tang You realized his own gaffe, quickly looked away, nodded subconsciously, and then shook his head like a rattle.
Zhou Qinyao was amused by her appearance and lowered his head to wipe the stains on his hands: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Tang You felt that it was a bit awkward to apologize like this, and wanted to find a topic to ease the conversation, so she turned around and pointed outside: "My car broke down... Could you please help me fix it?"
Zhou Qinyao raised his head and looked in the direction Tang You pointed.
When he was sure that the girl was seriously referring to a pink bicycle, his expression changed.
After a few seconds, he threw away the towel in his hand and laughed softly: "Soy sauce girl."
Tang You turned around hesitantly: "Huh?"
The man bent down slightly and stared into the girl's eyes for three seconds: "Are you kidding me?"
"?"
Tang You didn't understand what he meant, and was about to ask for clarification, but her sight suddenly shifted, and she clearly saw behind the man, on the central wall of the store, there was a shop sign that was bigger than the one outside -
as Sports Car Club
Tang You: “…”
