They stared at each other in silence for five or six seconds.
"Why didn't you leave?" Jiang Wen remained sitting in the same position and asked her coldly.
"You're like a little kid. When you don't get the attention of adults, you start to lose your temper."
After a while, he found his voice again, "I didn't."
"Huh?" Feng Ning was surprised. "If you're not in a bad mood, why did you pull out the needle?"
The back of Jiang Wen's hand was still bleeding, his face darkened, "I don't want to die."
The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that only his heavy breathing could be heard. Feng Ning was used to observing people's expressions, and Jiang Wen was not on guard at all.
He was cold and aloof, good-looking, with an air of arrogance that one would expect from others.
Tsk tsk, what a petty person.
She chuckled twice, took a cotton swab, and tentatively handed it to him, "Here, press the wound."
Jiang Wen looked at the cotton swab twice, then took it and did as he was told.
"If you don't want to hang up, then don't hang up." Feng Ning looked at the watch, "Let's go and have dinner."
They had planned to go to the cafeteria, but it was empty and many windows were closed. They went out from the west gate, and there were not many stalls on the roadside. Feng Ning suddenly became curious: "Master, have you eaten in the cafeteria?"
"Don't call me Master." Jiang Wen frowned, and his calm and excellent student image came out again. "I don't eat much."
"Why? Everyone else is shouting like that, so what should I shout?"
"name."
"Jiang Wen?"
"Um."
She called out again: "Jiang Wen?"
Jiang Wen glanced at her.
"Why don't you eat in the cafeteria?"
"I don't like the smell..." Jiang Wen hesitated for a while, and after a long time of trying to decide his words, he uttered two words vaguely, "the smell of vegetables."
"The smell of food?" Feng Ning was laughed at.
She suddenly remembered what Zhao Binlin said, that Jiang Wen looked cool and indifferent on the surface, but was actually a little delicate at heart.
"You are too precious, precious Jiang Wen, you can't even smell the food, hahahahahahahaha."
Jiang Wen's face turned bad when she laughed at him.
In fact, Feng Ning's mental state was also very depressed. She had just had her stomach washed two days ago and it was really painful. Both patients had poor appetites. Jiang Wen followed her and went to a porridge restaurant.
"Wait." Standing at the door, Feng Ning stopped him with his hand and sniffed.
Jiang asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
She turned her head and said seriously, "Smell it first and see if you can stand the smell of the food in this restaurant."
Jiang Wen was so angry that he choked and pushed her hand away, "I'm not that pretentious."
Feng Ning ordered a bowl of wontons and a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge for Jiang Wen.
She pulled out a piece of paper and wiped the table. "Do you want milk tea? Meng Taoyu brought me a cup of grass jelly a few days ago. I think she bought it nearby."
Jiang Wen shook his head, "I don't like milk tea."
Wontons and porridge were served on the table, and Feng Ning poured vinegar into the bowl. "There are people who don't like milk tea? I like milk tea the most. Milk tea and instant noodles are the most perfect combination in the world. I feel so happy."
"junk food."
Seeing Jiang Wen's serious comments, Feng Ning almost burst out laughing in her heart, but she was afraid that he would get angry again, so she could only hold back her laughter, "Is this junk food? Then the barbecue you had last time was also junk food, and you even sorted the garbage?"
His expression and tone remained calm: "I eat occasionally, but very little."
Feng Ning nodded, gave a thumbs up, and praised fiercely: "Then you are really a good baby who is healthy and well-nourished."
Jiang Wen didn't like hot food, so he used a spoon to stir the porridge until it was lukewarm before reluctantly taking a bite. He didn't talk when there was something in his mouth, he just focused on swallowing the porridge and said, "I'm not a child."
"oh."
He ate in silence for a while and found that Feng Ning was no longer talking. He looked up and saw that she was absent-minded, chewing wontons with her mouth full, but her eyes were always on her phone.
Jiang Wen found that he was ignored by her, and he felt an inexplicable anger. He endured it for a while before asking, "What are you looking at?"
"Look at the handsome guy."
Feng Ning hummed twice, "Here." She threw her phone on the table, and the screen was the picture of Qide Tieba. She followed the instructions of others and successfully found the handsome guy's inventory post.
"Hey, they are selecting the top ten handsome boys on campus. I changed three accounts to like and vote for you."
Jiang Wen glanced at it, his face turned cloudy, "Oh... I don't care about this."
"Is the gossip mentioned above true?" Feng Ning bit the spoon, "You are too extreme."
He picked up the phone, "What?"
"It's said that there was a girl who cried for a long time in front of you, but you waited until she finished crying and then said, 'Who are you?'" Feng Ning straightened up, his eyes widened, and he muttered, "You actually said, 'Who are you? Who are you?' Jiang Wen, you are so cruel. Are you so cruel to girls at such a young age?"
Jiang Wen was slightly confused, frowned and thought for a while, "When did it happen?"
"junior high school."
"That, that girl doesn't like me." Jiang Wen explained with great effort, "She is Zhao Binlin's girlfriend."
"Huh?" Feng Ning's eyes were full of curiosity. "Why did Zhao Binlin's girlfriend come to you crying? What did you do? Wow, are you two having a love triangle?!"
"... ..."
"It has nothing to do with me. Because Zhao Binlin refused to see her, they broke up at that time."
Feng Ning asked: "Why didn't Zhao Binlin want to see her after they broke up?"
"Because... she said she wanted to marry Zhao Binlin, and then Zhao Binlin got scared." Jiang Wen's expression was a little awkward, and he hesitated for a while, "They... that is, Zhao Binlin... "
Seeing that he was having trouble talking, Feng Ning suddenly realized something and said angrily, "Damn it, Zhao Binlin slept with a girl when he was in junior high school, and he wanted to dump her after having sex. What a scumbag. So it's Zhao Binlin's debt of love that has been owed to you?"
The topic was so strange, but they still continued chatting.
Jiang Wen hummed, and added, "It's not me, I have never been with a girl..." Halfway through his words, his ears turned red with embarrassment, and he turned his head away without looking at her.
Feng Ning smiled slyly, his eyes were dark and bright, "Is that so? That's what a good boy should do. If you want to do anything with a girl, you have to wait until you are 18 years old. That's in line with science. But when you reject a girl, you can be gentler and more gentle. Don't be so ruthless. We are all in adolescence, we will see each other every day. Teenagers are young and have thin faces. It would be bad if this got out."
Jiang Wen asked back, "What about you? You said I was ruthless to others, but what about you?"
"What about me?" Feng Ning didn't care at all and took a big bite of wonton. "I've broken too many boys' hearts. If you want to tell me, I can't think of them all at once. But boys' psychological endurance is obviously stronger than girls', so it doesn't matter if they're a little cruel."
However, the person sitting opposite her was a fragile person who was always worried about losing something.
Glass Heart said: "I heard from others that a boy in junior high school cut your hair."
Jiang Wen rarely, or never, actively inquired about other people's gossip. When he said this, he just met Feng Ning's eyes, his face was full of awkwardness, and his voice became lower and lower, "Then I liked you for three years, and even secretly went home with you, but you ignored me."
"Yeah." Feng Ning didn't notice his shyness. "He sneaked onto the bus with me, and I beat him up."
"?"
Feng Ning narrowed her eyes, looking like she was reminiscing about the past. "I don't know if this guy has watched too many TV dramas or has paranoia. He fantasizes about being a hero and insists on protecting my safety. I don't have the time to act out an idol drama with him!"
Jiang asked: "..."
The lunch break is short in summer. When I look at the time after eating, I can’t take a nap in the dormitory.
Feng Ning ate a bowl of wontons and worked up an appetite. He patted his bloated belly and said, "I'm going to buy two cups of milk tea. Do you want to go back to school first?"
Jiang Wen paused, then stood up and said, "I'll go buy a cup too."
Feng Ning was suspicious: "Don't you want to drink?"
"I want to... try."
Jiang Wen didn't like milk tea, but he was used to her chattering.
If you calm down, your heart will be empty.
He didn't understand anything else. He just knew that he was still immersed in the relaxed and happy chat atmosphere with Feng Ning.
Jiang Wen was greedy for this limited happiness. Time was running out, and he was reluctant to withdraw. But he couldn't say anything, and he had no choice but to hide it in his heart.
The name of the milk tea shop selling grass jelly is very cute, called Chibi Maruko-chan and Brown Bear. It is just across the street, and there are still many people queuing at this time.
There were many students from Qide among them. One girl saw Jiang Wen coming in, pushed her companion's arm in an ambiguous way, and lip-synced to look at the handsome guy.
Feng Ning has a serious problem with making decisions. Before ordering food or drinks, she will study it carefully and hesitate for a long time.
She raised her head, and the top of her hair, with a light fragrance, brushed against his chin.
Jiang Wen's mind was shaken and he was stunned for a moment.
Feng Ning raised his hand and pointed at the menu, "Do you think I want the signature pudding or the grass jelly milk tea?"
He was taller than her, lowered his eyes, and said patiently, "I don't know which one tastes better."
"Last time, Xiao Meng brought me grass jelly milk tea, so I'll have the signature pudding this time." Feng Ning frowned, and finally made up his mind and asked him, "What about you, what do you want?"
"It's all fine. Please help me order." Jiang Wen said.
Feng Ning showed an extremely annoyed expression: "You can't let me choose, it's already painful for me to choose!" Having said that, she still looked at the single card again carefully.
Jiang Wen stood behind her and gave a faint smile.
"How about mango and coconut sago? Or lemon jasmine tea? Which one do you want?" She turned her head.
Jiang Wen deliberately said, "You choose."
Feng Ning took a deep breath, pondered for a while, and decided: "Then let's have mango coconut milk sago."
"Um."
The line was long, with about a dozen people in front. Feng Ning was a noisy person, and once she started talking, she couldn't stop. She didn't even need anyone to pick up the conversation, she could talk nonstop for a long time.
"You know, I fell in love with the name of this store as soon as I saw it."
"Chibi Maruko-chan and Brown Bear." He repeated the name of the store. "Why?"
"Because my favorite cartoon is Chibi Maruko-chan. I still love watching it and often shake my head to imitate Maruko's lines."
Feng Ning's face was still a little sweaty, his eyes sparkled, and he said proudly: "When I was a child, I cut my hair short. People said that I looked very similar to Chibi Maruko-chan, and my mother said so too."
Suddenly a voice came, "Jiang Wen... why are you here?"
They both turned around and saw a girl next to Cheng Jiajia. At the same time, they also saw Feng Ning.
Cheng Jiajia stood there with a complicated expression, "Can you come out with me for a moment?"
Jiang Wen didn't move.
After waiting for about a minute, Cheng Jiajia saw that he didn't respond, "Let's make things clear."
"say what?"
Cheng Jiajia bit her lower lip and asked, "Are you sure you want to say this here?"
Jiang Wen was silent.
Feng Ning kept a deep expression, watching Jiang Wen and Cheng Jiajia push the door out. She couldn't help but feel sorry for them. It was a pity that they had to wait in line. Otherwise, she would have liked to follow them and see how they acted in a youth idol drama!
The sun was blazing, and the heat was like a shadow that wrapped around me, suffocating and sticky. I didn't feel it just now, but now my head started to ache.
His heart was like a chemical reagent bottle filled with medicine; even a gentle breeze could ignite his impatience.
There were tears in Cheng Jiajia's eyes. "So, you really plan to break up with me, right?"
Jiang Wen remained silent, and there was still no obvious emotion on his face.
She turned her head away, held back her tears, then turned back and continued, "We were all having dinner together that day, they were all your friends, and you left without saying a word, leaving me alone there. Aren't you going to explain anything to me?"
"Feel sorry."
"You knew that I was just saying that I wanted to break up, so why didn't you even bother to comfort me? I didn't mean that in the first place."
Cheng Jiajia was shaking with anger. "Do you know how miserable I've been these past two days? We just broke up, and you bought milk tea with another girl. You two are together, right? Do you like her?"
She was emotionally invested, but he couldn't calm down. His eyes looked at the door of the milk tea shop, where there were several sunny dolls hanging, and Chibi Maruko-chan was smiling brightly. Further away, there was a row of trees, black telephone poles, white clouds, and blue sky. The colors were very uneven.
Jiang Wen began to imagine what she would look like with short hair.
"Okay, let me change the question." Cheng Jiajia clenched her hands, "You don't like me anymore, right?"
There were kids running around on the side of the road, so he wasn't paying attention. "Yeah."
"Have you ever liked me?"
After a long while, she heard Jiang Wen speak:
"No."
That was the end of their conversation.
