screwed up.
Lin You was still thinking about Xiao Xiao's look until she got off the high-speed train back to school.
Why do you say such things? And why can't I apologize? Now it's really deadlocked, Lin You really has nothing to say to herself.
"Hey, your bag."
Lin You was distracted when she was suddenly pulled back. She turned her head unexpectedly, and the person speaking to her was a tall young woman with fair complexion and beautiful eyebrows.
Lin You was slightly taken aback, she always thought she looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
She held Lin You's wallet in her hand.
"Ah, thank you." Lin You took the wallet and thanked her, and wanted to put it back into the backpack, but as soon as she carried the bag, the scattered little things in it fell all over the floor.
She was stunned for a moment, only to realize that a long cut had been cut under the backpack.
People come and go here, Lin You didn't care to find out when the hole was broken, so she squatted down to pack it up. The backpack was useless, but fortunately she still had a suitcase.
The young woman helped her pick up the things, and lightly warned her: "There are so many people here, be careful."
"Oh, thank you..."
Was it cut by a thief? Lin You realized belatedly, as if she had been acted bravely by others.
Seeing that she had finished packing, the young woman pulled her suitcase and strode away. She moved neatly, and the hem of the black windbreaker rose with her steps, drawing a capable arc.
The lady is very cool. Lin You thought.
It didn't take long for her to know who this cool young lady was.
On the second day after she returned to the dormitory, before Luo Chuchu arrived, two other roommates came to her with complicated expressions: "Yuzi, do you know Lu Jiayao from our department?"
Lin You: "Huh?"
The roommate said: "She asked us to tell you that the meal card is with her, and asked you to add her WeChat and return it to you when you are free."
Lin You: "Ah!"
Lin You remembered. No wonder the young lady helping at the station looked familiar—she had seen Lu Jiayao's photo at her roommate before.
When she arrived at school, she found that her meal card had been lost. She originally wanted to make up for it at the beginning of school, but these days, she just picked up her roommate's meal card or ate out, but she didn't expect it to be at Lu Jiayao's place.
Lin You added Lu Jiayao's WeChat.
Yuzu: Hello, Senior Sister Lu, I am Linyou
Yuzu: Thank you, sister, for helping me keep my meal card! Thank you for your help, I will treat my senior sister to dinner when I have time~
Lu Jiayao: Yes, I am free tomorrow
what. Lin You was a little surprised, she thought Lu Jiayao would refuse.
After all, Lu Jiayao is a well-known figure in their school. She has a nickname of "Flower of Gaoling".
But Lin You sincerely thanked her, and made an appointment with her to meet her in the cafeteria at noon tomorrow. As soon as she sent it, the phone vibrated slightly, and Xiao Xiao's message popped up from the top of the screen.
Lin You also trembled in her heart, and when she realized it, her hand had already clicked in.
Xiao Xiao: Yuzu, are you back
Xiao Xiao: I have something to say, can I meet you tomorrow
Got something to say... what else to say now
It is impossible to refuse, Lin You tossed and turned on the bed, almost fell, and replied "yes" with a complicated mood.
Xiao Xiao: Well, I will pick you up tomorrow afternoon.
Lin You is now thinking about the scene of meeting tomorrow. What happened last time... Does she not mind? Sure enough, it is better to apologize seriously.
But…
Thinking that Xiao Xiao might say something she didn't want to hear, Lin You felt a pain in her heart. Both looking forward to meeting her, but also wanting to stay far away.
The next morning, there was a patter of rain, and it didn't stop until noon, but there was still no sun, and the outside was full of damp soil.
Like the weather, Lin You's heart was not clear, and she often lost her mind when eating with Lu Jiayao.
Lu Jiayao saw it: "Are you busy this afternoon?"
Lin You came back to her senses: "Well, yes... I'm going out for a while."
Lu Jiayao said, "I'll see you off."
Lin You quickly said, "No, no, thank you Senior Sister Lu, I'll be right at the school gate."
The rumors are really unbelievable, Lin You thought, in fact, Senior Sister Lu is quite enthusiastic.
The enthusiastic senior sister Lu said: "Then let's go together, I also want to go out to do business."
Lin You hesitated for a moment, feeling that it would not be good to refuse, so she agreed.
It started to rain lightly again outside, Lin You didn't bring an umbrella, she was holding the same umbrella as Lu Jiayao, they were talking on the way, and they walked to the back gate of the school quickly.
Lin You recognized Xiao Xiao's car at first sight, but when she looked through the half-opened window, there was no one in the car.
Xiao Xiao squatted on the side of the road without an umbrella, the hem of the white coat drooped, wet and stained by the stagnant water. She didn't know what she was looking at, and suddenly reached out to the drain pipe on the side of the road.
Lin You: "..."
Lin You hurriedly greeted Lu Jiayao, and ran to her side: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Xiao raised her head, her black and white eyes looked at her through the drizzle, slightly bent. She was holding something that came out of the drain pipe in her hand... It was a small orange kitten, whimpering softly as it was dying.
Lin You again: "..."
Yes, kind of cute... both of them.
Xiao Xiao stood up: "Yuzi..."
"Lin You." Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Jiayao who followed, "Give me the umbrella, my car is nearby."
"Ah, thank you senior sister..."
Lin You's hand was pulled, and she subconsciously turned around. Xiao Xiao was looking at her, eyes half downcast, the rain wet her eyelashes, the misty rain and mist seemed to make those eyes wet too, it looked like...
Little milk cat: "Miwu..."
Yes, like an abandoned kitten or puppy in a box... an illusion.
Lin You's heart softened from her gaze, and she refused: "But no need, my friend has a car, so it's okay."
"… yes."
Lu Jiayao and Xiao Xiao looked at each other, both of them looked calm.
In the delicate atmosphere, the sound of rain falling on the umbrella seemed to be louder. After a moment of silence, Lu Jiayao said, "I see."
she left.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Lin You looked at Xiao Xiao, and sighed softly: "... Let's deal with this little guy first."
They went to the pet hospital first, and there were a lot of pet supplies in the car on the return trip.
The less dirty little milk cat group slept on Lin You's lap. She touched its small ears: "Do you really want to raise it? You are so busy, how can you have time to take care of it..."
Xiao Xiao said: "I will work hard. Doesn't Yuzu like cats?"
Lin You: "Oh... I like it, I like it."
Sounds like it was raised for her liking. Lin You curled up her fingers, not knowing how to reply, her usual wit was useless in front of Xiao Xiao.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, making a dull sound when it hit the roof of the car. The wipers wiped off the accumulated rain on the glass, and the car was very quiet.
Lin You wanted to ask Xiao Xiao what she was going to say when she came out, but she was reluctant to break the current relationship, but in the end she didn't ask anything.
When he got back to the teacher's apartment, the rain hadn't stopped, Xiao Xiao asked Lin You to wait in the car, and went back in the rain to pick her up with an umbrella.
She was drenched when she came back.
Lin You felt a little distressed, more of a dull sourness—she obviously rejected her confession, and they broke up last time, so why do you still take care of her like this
She knew that Xiao Xiao was not so gentle to everyone, because of this, this special and clumsy thoughtfulness made her feel lucky, and couldn't let go of the spoiled feelings.
When Lin You entered the house, she pushed Xiao Xiao to take a bath, and she helped organize the things she bought and put the kitten in.
The little guy was probably uneasy about the unfamiliar environment, Lin You put it down, and hid under the sofa in the blink of an eye. She coaxed it with snacks for a long time but didn't coax it out, so she let it go, filled the food bowl with water and cat food, and waited for it to come out to eat when it was hungry.
Xiao Xiao is still in the bathroom. Lin You sat down and played with her phone absently.
After being beaten to death shortly after the start of the fourth game due to distraction, Lin You gave up the act of entrapping his teammates and simply quit the game.
Just when the bathroom door opened with a click, Xiao Xiao came out wearing home clothes and with wet hair.
"Grapefruit."
Xiao Xiao stood behind the sofa, with his hands resting on the backrest.
Her usual body wash is lightly scented with coconut milk. It smelled very light, but as soon as he approached, it filled the air around Lin You, and there was nothing else to smell.
Lin You seemed to be affected by the hot air from the bathroom, her cheeks were slightly stained red: "Why, what's the matter... Do you want to blow your hair off first?"
Xiao Xiao's hair was still dripping with water, but she didn't seem to notice it, and just looked at Lin You intently: "I want to talk to Youzi first."
"Oh..." Lin You calmed down a little, "What do you want to say?"
Xiao Xiao hesitated a little, as if she was weighing her words, which is a rare behavior for her: "Yuzi said she liked me on her birthday, I have been thinking about it, and I haven't given you an answer yet..."
Lin You: "Ah...?"
What does it mean to have been thinking about it, but haven't answered yet, it's clear that day... and so on.
The expression on Lin You's face was a little stunned because of the shock.
No matter how long it has passed, she will never forget it, let alone it happened not long ago.
She recalled the situation at that time. Indeed, what Xiao Xiao said was "I thought Yuzu was a friend, and I didn't think about this issue", and she didn't expressly refuse...
Lin You was speechless for a moment, with a complicated expression on her face.
She thought, Xiao Xiao asked her out on purpose, couldn't it be for the sake of prudently refusing, right
so…
Lin You looked into Xiao Xiao's eyes, those beautiful clean eyes met hers, and her soft eyes fell down, like invisible silk threads, tightly bound her heart, pulling it to beat.
She asked awkwardly: "Then... have you considered it now?"
"... Sorry." Xiao Xiao said.
Under Lin You's suddenly disappointed eyes, she continued, "I don't understand."
Lin You: "..."
Feeling ups and downs and being pulled back by a sentence, this feeling is more exciting than a roller coaster. Lin You was inexplicably tired, so she could only follow her words and ask back: "I don't understand... what do you mean?"
Xiao Xiao said: "I can't tell which kind of feelings I have for Youzi. But I don't think it's okay to go on like this. Youzi won't contact me, and won't come to see me..."
She paused for a moment, then asked gently: "In the future, don't you want to see me?"
Don't want to see each other in the future? how can that be possible.
The one who seldom contacted her was obviously Xiao Xiao. Lin You bit her lip and said, "I didn't mean that... If you ask me to come out, won't I come to see you?"
Xiao Xiao showed a shallow smile: "Yes, so I am very happy. Last time Yuzu said that, I thought I would be rejected."
Lin You said: "What happened last time was because I was not good."
"As long as Yuzu doesn't get angry." Xiao Xiao didn't get too entangled in this matter, "Can you come see me again in the future? I will seriously consider it, don't talk to me, or get along like before?"
"..."
Lin You was speechless.
How obvious is this sentence if it is said by another person, the scum girl who hangs the spare tire speaks!
Lin You looked into Xiao Xiao's eyes and knew that she was making a sincere request. But even so, she still got angry from the bottom of her heart and refused heavily: "No, yes. I'll go back now."
She stood up from the sofa and walked to the door a few steps. Xiao Xiao was slightly startled, and chased after her and grabbed her wrist: "Wait, Yuzu..."
"I don't want to wait."
Lin You turned her head, her eyes were red: "Because I'm feeling very uncomfortable now, and I don't want to understand your feelings. It's not that I don't want to come to see you, I really want to meet and talk to you, but the feelings I give, if you have to If you don't respond, it will make me very painful... "
She said that she felt that it was too difficult for herself, why did she like such a ignorant person
Tears rolled down from the eyes uncontrollably, Lin You struggled to grab the held hand, but she didn't break free, feeling even more wronged: "Let go, I'm going back."
Xiao Xiao just said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, don't cry..."
This was the second time she saw Lin You crying, and it was also the second time she was easily overwhelmed by her tears, not knowing what to do.
Lin You was so angry, angry and sad: "Are you listening to me? When you said you want to think about it, when did you think about it? Did you just keep waiting if you asked me to wait? Have you ever thought about it... "
Xiao Xiao didn't finish listening, leaned over and gently kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Lin You: "..."
Lin You: "..."
Her voice stopped abruptly, and she stopped thinking at the same time.
Needle drop can be heard in the silent room, and the little milk cat under the sofa is bewildered and purring softly.
After a while, Lin You blinked blankly, and the remaining tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She opened her mouth: "Wh, what does this mean?"
Xiao Xiao, the person who initiated the action, seemed more puzzled than she: "I just want to do this... I'm sorry."
There was another silence between the two.
Lin You stopped crying.
Xiao Xiao couldn't relax, but became nervous for no reason. She looked at Lin You's teary eyes, her moist and soft eyes stared at her, as if she was examining something.
After a long time, Lin You said, "Then give me a kiss."
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Xiao Xiao's reaction, but directly stood on tiptoe. Compared with kissing, that action was more like bumping into him with some kind of determination to break the boat.
Xiao Xiao lowered her head subconsciously, her warm lips pressed together, she tasted the salty and bitter taste of tears, and then found that she supported Lin You's waist.
"..."
Lin You's heart was about to jump out of her throat.
It was just a shallow kiss, and she fell back to the ground. The distance between the two of them was still very close, and they stuck tightly together.
"Don't you hate it?" she asked softly.
Xiao Xiao said: "... I don't hate it."
Lin You had heard this answer many times. But only this time, Xiao Xiao paused slightly, and then asked: "Is this like it?"
Before Lin You could answer, she leaned her back against the cold door. She closed her eyes, and the next kiss fell, which was longer and more lingering than the first contact, touching the depths of each other.
The rain outside the window gradually decreased, and when the rain stopped, Xiao Xiao's hair had already dried naturally.
Lin You always felt muddled, and only after it was over did she recall what had happened. She pressed against Xiao Xiao's back and pulled her hair, complaining in disbelief: "Actually, you are a very high-ranked scumbag! Are you here to Trick me into bed!"
Xiao Xiao sneezed innocently.
She turned around and rubbed into Lin You's shoulder: "But I'm dating Youzi?"
Lin You: "When? You didn't even promise me!"
Xiao Xiao said, "Just now."
When was it just now? Lin You thought about it, but soon she couldn't think about any problems.
