Like fireworks, these words exploded in Sang Zhi's mind in an instant, making her dizzy. Her lips parted, but she couldn't say a word because she was at a loss.
The heart seemed to be knocked out of the body.
Plop, plop.
Almost covered up the howling wind.
Sang Zhi even felt that his palms were sweating, in this weather that was only a few degrees.
Before she could think of how to respond, Duan Jia Xu calmly loosened her wrist, turned around, and stood silently in front of her.
The distance was shortened in an instant.
Sang Zhi staggered his gaze abruptly.
Duan Jiaxu leaned down slightly, those long and narrow peach blossom eyes slightly curved, with an unknown emotion, he looked at her for two seconds. Then, he reached out and pulled her scarf down.
Bare her entire face.
The little girl's facial features are delicate and delicate, the corners of her mouth rise unconsciously, and the two pear eddies on her lips are deeply sunken. A pair of sparkling eyes, uncomfortably turned away, and soon looked at him again.
Due to allergies, my face is swollen and there is a rash on my cheeks.
Looking at it this way, it seems that his face is red.
Duan Jia Xu's eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple rolled slowly. The hand on her scarf was lifted up, and with the pulp of her fingers, with very light force, it rubbed against her pear vortex.
Sang Zhi's back froze.
In just a split second, Duan Jia Xu withdrew his hand and rubbed his thumb and index finger subconsciously. He stood up straight, and a laugh came out of his throat: "Why are you blushing again?"
"… "
He dragged his tail and said, "Also snickering."
Sang Zhi's head was empty, and she pulled up the scarf again. She pretended to be calm, lowered her eyes, and said vaguely, "Aren't you laughing too."
Duan Jiaxu said with great interest, "Then why do you think I'm laughing?"
"How do I know, it's not the first day you laughed like this." Sang Zhi bypassed him, continued walking, and said to herself, "Don't stand here, it's so cold."
Staring at her back, Duan Jia Xu stood there for a few seconds, couldn't help laughing again, and quickly raised his heels up.
After getting in the car, Sang Zhi still didn't take off the scarf.
Duan Jiaxu didn't rush to drive, he turned his head and said casually, "Children, are you still not taking off your scarf in the car? Aren't you afraid of being bored?"
Sang Zhi explained without changing his face: "I cover things on my face."
"I've seen it." Duan Jia Xu laughed, "What else are you covering?"
Sang Zhi paused, feeling that it made sense, reached out and took off the scarf. She didn't say a word, lowered her head to play with her phone, and turned to look out the window again.
While waiting for the traffic light, Duan Jia Xu casually glanced in her direction.
Only her face can be seen.
Noticing that she seemed to be in a daze, her fingertips were unconsciously tapping on the window sill, the corners of her eyes were pulled down, and the corners of her mouth were raised, unable to hide her emotions.
Not long after, as if she noticed something, she reached out and touched the corner of her mouth, her expression froze. Perhaps because she was afraid of being seen by him, the next moment, she deliberately restrained herself.
Duan Jiaxu retracted his gaze, his eyelashes drooped, and he also laughed.
Because the next day was the weekend, there was only Ning Wei in the dormitory at this time, and the other two were probably going to participate in department activities or dating their boyfriends.
Noticing the movement of the door, Ning Wei looked over. When she saw Sang Zhi's face, she was taken aback: "What's the matter with your face?"
"I accidentally drank milk tea." Sang Zhi put the things in her hands on the table, "I'm allergic to milk."
"Ah? Are you okay, have you gone to the hospital?"
"Go, get a shot."
"That's good." Ning Wei sighed, "You are too miserable. If you are allergic to milk, how much can you eat?"
Sang Zhi thought for a while: "It's okay."
She took off her coat and asked casually, "Why didn't you go out today?"
"I'm out, but I'll be back after a meal." Ning Wei unpacked the potato chips, "My boyfriend has to catch up with his homework tonight, so he doesn't have time to spend with me. How about you, how's your date with that older brother? what?"
Hearing this, Sang Zhi became quiet, and suddenly knelt down beside her.
Ning Wei turned her head and handed her the potato chips: "Do you want to eat it?"
"I don't want to eat, I just got full." Sang Zhi was like a puppy, her eyes were round and bright, as if she was talking about a big secret, her voice was extremely low, "Ning Wei, I'll tell you secretly. a matter."
"What's wrong?"
"My brother's friend," Sang Zhi said, reaching out and grabbing the hem of her clothes, smiling with crooked eyes, "it seems that he likes me a little."
"Why do you look like you won the lottery." Ning Wei was amused by her, "How did you find out?"
"He told his colleague that I was his friend, and he told me," Sang Zhi imitated his tone, and said, "Do you really think of me as your brother?"
"Hey, why is this like telling you not to recognize relatives?"
Sang Zhi blinked: "Do you think he's trying to distance himself from me?"
After the words were spoken, Ning Wei also felt that what she said was not quite right, fearing that it would affect her mood, she hurriedly said, "No, I'll just say it casually."
"It shouldn't be." Sang Zhi recalled what happened just now, and said seriously, "What he meant was that he didn't think of me as his sister anymore. But it didn't mean alienation."
"Then does he know that you like him too?"
"I don't know." Sang Zhi said with a smile, "I didn't show it."
"You can pretend that you don't mean that to him and let him chase you for a while." Ning Wei said, "After all, men are like this. If he confesses to you and agrees immediately, he may think it's too easy to get, and he won't. take care of it."
Sang Zhi was stunned, and said quietly, "Then what if he doesn't chase me?"
"..." Ning Wei said, "Probably not."
"And I'm not particularly sure." Sang Zhi muttered, "I don't know why he likes me... I still think it's weird."
"What could be the reason for this?" Ning Wei asked, "Then why do you like him?"
Sang Zhi said honestly, "He looks handsome."
"..." Ning Wei said, "Why are you so superficial."
"Also, good people are good to me." Sang Zhi looked serious and counted, "The grades are also very good, except for being a little old, there is nothing bad about it."
Ning Wei nibbled at the potato chips and said, "Aren't you about the same? Apart from being a little younger than him, there's nothing bad about it."
"Then." Sang Zhi coughed softly, "I'll just wait for him to chase me?"
"Row."
"If he doesn't chase me," Sang Zhi said dryly, still having no idea, "If I don't, I'll go after him."
"… "
After sending Sang Zhi back to the dormitory, Duan Jiaxu returned to the car and was about to drive home when he suddenly received a phone call. He glanced at the caller ID, picked it up, and quickly hung up.
Start the car and drive to the nursing center in the city.
Too quiet in the care center.
Duan Jiaxu seldom came to this place except when necessary. It is also rare to see him, his father, Duan Zhicheng, who has been in bed for eleven years.
Doctor: "Your father's condition is not very good recently."
Duan Jiaxu hummed.
"I have been in bed for ten years, and my body function and resistance are very poor." The doctor said, "The pulmonary hydrops has been a little serious recently. It is recommended to perform a minor operation to extract some of the water, otherwise it may cause lung infection. It's getting serious."
"Doctor." Duan Jiaxu didn't seem to care about these matters, and said lightly, "Do you think he can wake up?"
The doctor was silent for a few seconds, and then said officially: "As long as you are alive, there will always be miracles."
Duan Jiaxu just laughed and didn't comment on this.
Where do so many miracles come from.
In fact, Duan Jiaxu did not expect at all that Duan Zhicheng would wake up.
It's been so many years, and there's not even the slightest bit of hatred left.
The only remaining emotion is tiredness.
Duan Jiaxu lowered his eyes and looked at Duan Zhicheng's appearance. Because of being in bed for many years, his appearance has changed a lot, and he is unconscious, lying there like a dead person.
In fact, Duan Jiaxu really wanted to know if he didn't regret it in the end.
Soon, Duan Jiaxu withdrew his gaze and said gently, "Then I'll trouble you."
Duan Jiaxu paid for the surgery and the next two months' fees, and then left the nursing center. This matter had little effect on his mood, and was quickly forgotten by him.
When he got home, he sent Sang Zhi a WeChat message to remind her to remember to apply the medicine.
Afterwards, Duan Jia Xu took a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator, thinking about Sang Zhi's reaction today, and slowly recalling what she said when she was drunk.
— "I have someone I really like. But he just doesn't like me."
- "Just unhappy."
— "He's nice to me, he's nice to me. But he's nice to everyone, and he's nice to everyone..."
No way, the person who made her so sad was really him.
Duan Jiaxu always felt that something was not right.
I haven't seen him for so many years. If she really has feelings for him other than her brother during this period of time, how did she come to the conclusion that "he just doesn't like me".
Just because of what he said before, treating her as a child
Duan Jiaxu thought for a moment, and then called Qian Fei.
After only a few beeps, Qian Fei picked it up and said bluntly: "I'll give you a minute to talk about things, and I'll wash after that..."
"What you said before is quite right," Duan Jia Xu said slowly, gulping his saliva, "The male vixen that the girl mentioned really doesn't seem to exist."
"Really? I'm too good. I'm a fucking love master."
"It may also exist," Duan Jiaxu said, "it is very likely me."
"Really!" Qian Fei was excited, "I knew it was you as soon as I heard the flirtatious and shameless!"
"… "
"Then you can't make it directly? You're still guessing here."
"No." Duan Jia smiled, "I have to chase."
"..." Qian Fei was puzzled, "Didn't you say she likes you? What are you chasing?"
"My girl thinks I just don't like her." Duan Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "I have to show her a card to make her happy."
"What's the matter? Why is it only your girl?" Qian Fei was speechless. "Also, does this girl know that you know she is interested in you?"
"I don't know." Duan Jia Xu laughed softly, "I also pretend not to know."
Gotta save some face for my kids.
Qian Fei was inexplicably sour: "You are really interesting."
Duan Jia Xu: "Okay, one minute is up, hang up."
"Wait a minute," Qian Fei asked curiously, "how are you going to showdown?"
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows, "I didn't think about it."
Sang Zhi's nineteenth birthday was the first time she didn't celebrate with her family.
Birthday, happened to be Sunday. Duan Jiaxu made an appointment with her in advance and went out to celebrate that day. Sang Zhi arranged to have a meal with his roommate at noon, and then went back to the dormitory to wait until the agreed time before going out to find him.
Duan Jiaxu did not drive over, but was downstairs in the dormitory. Wearing the black sweater and slim trousers she gave him earlier, he stood there like a college student.
Sang Zhi was about to walk over when someone suddenly stopped her: "Sang Zhi."
She turned back subconsciously.
Noticed that Jiang Ming was standing under the tree on the other side, holding a bag in his hand, with a refreshing smile: "I sent you a message on WeChat, did you see it?"
Sang Zhi touched the phone and said, "I didn't read it."
"Nothing else," Jiang Ming said, "I'll come and give you a present."
Sang Zhi hesitantly took it: "Thank you."
Jiang Ming: "Are you alright?"
Yu Guang noticed Duan Jiaxu's seemingly absent gaze, and Sang Zhi felt a little embarrassed for some reason. She forced a smile and pointed to Duan Jiaxu's direction: "Well, I have an appointment with someone."
"Is that so." Jiang Ming glanced at Duan Jiaxu, as if a little regretful, and touched his nose, "Then I won't bother you, I'll go first."
Sang Zhi waved his hand: "Well, goodbye."
After speaking, Jiang Ming walked in the other direction.
Sang Zhi walked up to Duan Jia Xu and asked, "Where are we going?"
Duan Jia Xu raised his eyelids, his fingertips lightly hooked the bag, Sang Zhi released his hand, and the bag fell into his hands instantly. He laughed and said naturally, "Hold it for you."
"..." Sang Zhi snorted, "Then take it."
The two walked towards the school gate.
Duan Jiaxu asked casually, "That boy is that male fox?"
I knew he would bring it up.
Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds, and responded seriously: "No."
Duan Jiaxu hummed thoughtfully.
After a long while, he remained silent.
Sang Zhi couldn't help but look over.
At this moment, Duan Jiaxu just stopped in his tracks: "Then take a look."
Sang Zhi: "Huh?"
The next moment, the corners of Duan Jia Xu's lips curled up, his eyebrows narrowed slightly, and he leaned over to look at her. After a few seconds, he stood up straight, and there was a hint of mockery in his words: "Have you read it yet?"
Sang Zhi was stunned: "What?"
"Do you think I look alike?" Duan Jiaxu's tone was not serious, and he was a little rambunctious, "The male fox you're talking about?"
