His tone was always cold and indifferent, and the few people sitting in the front row heard it, and looked back subconsciously, with shocked and surprised expressions.
Xu Zhe's eyes widened even more, as if he had seen a ghost.
No, Shen Zhijin deliberately stopped the experiment and came to class today, and even sat with this girl, he thought he liked her!
For a long time, is it to reject people in person? ! Completely cut off the girl's heart? !
Xu Zhe cursed silently in his heart.
Absolutely.
No matter how to make the girl give up on him as quickly as possible, Shen Zhijin should be ranked second, and no one in Xijing University can rank first.
Gu Tingyin naturally noticed those probing and gossiping eyes, and became flustered for a while.
She looked at the young man sitting beside her, and noticed the slight coldness around him, the starlight in her eyes dimmed, and a little helplessness appeared in the bottom of her eyes.
For a moment, she lowered her head and whispered:
"Oh, I, I see."
As she spoke, she silently turned around and sat down, her hands still clutching the book tightly.
Shen Zhijin saw her pursing her lips slightly, her originally slack and reclining posture became tense, her whole body seemed to be beaten by frost, and she was no longer lively before.
He frowned slightly.
The class bell rang, and Professor Li walked in.
Seeing Shen Zhijin sitting in the corner of the last row, he was very surprised, glanced at the girl sitting next to him, and laughed and teased:
"Hey, I said how did I see Zhijin come to my class today, so it wasn't the sun coming out from the west, but he came to class with someone?"
Shen Zhijin is a young genius. Although he seldom attends classes, he has full marks in all subjects. In addition, his personality is sparse and arrogant, and his work is low-key and rigorous. The professors admire him very much and don't care much about these things.
Now it's rare to see him come to class with a little girl next to him. Naturally, Professor Li couldn't help but tease a few words to find some ground for himself.
Everyone in the classroom looked back.
Such an atmosphere should have been very ambiguous - if Shen Zhijin hadn't rejected her in public just now.
Gu Tingyin lowered her head even lower.
She, she seems to have caused trouble for him...
Shen Zhijin's lips moved slightly, and she wanted to explain a few words, but from the corner of her eye, she saw her slightly bluish fingers due to exertion, and suddenly stopped.
He didn't speak.
…
This class was really too difficult for Gu Tingyin.
She was silent, and she didn't even have the courage to look at him sideways, so she could only minimize her sense of existence.
A wind suddenly blew up outside the window, and soon, big raindrops hurriedly fell on the window.
The sky was dark, and even the classroom was dark.
Many students looked outside and became restless.
"It's raining?"
"It's raining too much, I didn't bring an umbrella!"
"I have to go back to the courtyard for the second class later, so heavy rain, do you want me to swim over???"
Shen Zhijin thought of something and looked at the girl beside him.
Her backpack was very small, and it was already quite difficult to fit the "Popular Astronomy", so it didn't look like she was carrying an umbrella.
Moreover, she came from the Academy of Fine Arts, and it would be even more troublesome to go back later.
As if sensing his gaze, Gu Tingyin finally raised her head from the book and looked over.
The four eyes are facing each other.
Her red lips moved slightly, and her face was rather tangled, dawdling, as if she wanted to ask something.
He has always been considerate in his work. There have been showers in the forecast for the past few days, and he has always carried an umbrella.
"you-"
She hesitated to speak.
Shen Zhijin thought quietly, if she borrowed it, just give it to her.
"Don't be angry."
she whispered.
Shen Zhijin was slightly taken aback.
At such a close distance, her face became hot again, her heart was beating fast, and she couldn't control it at all.
Thinking of what he said just now, her heart felt a little cold, and the clattering heartbeat subsided a little.
"I, I will not come here to disturb you again, really!"
As if to prove her intention, she raised her fingers together as a gesture of assurance, swearing.
Shen Zhijin looked at her dark and moist almond eyes.
This was the answer he wanted, but for some reason, it was not as easy as expected.
After a while, he finally came back to his senses until a little bit of confusion appeared in her eyes.
"Um."
…
get out of class is over, but the rain has no intention of stopping.
It was raining.
Some students were holding umbrellas, and there were a few figures running past in the rain.
"Hey, the rain is too heavy! Even if you walk back to the courtyard from this place with an umbrella, you will still get wet."
Xu Zhe stood in the corridor, took out his umbrella, and muttered,
"I don't know how the girl will go all the way! I don't think she has an umbrella."
Shen Zhijin held up an umbrella with a calm expression, and walked into the rain, as if he didn't care.
A gust of wind blows.
"Hey, I'll go!"
Xu Zhe couldn't dodge in time, the umbrella was blown away, and the cold rain fell on him in an instant.
He wiped his face sadly:
"Forget it, the girl is so beautiful, I don't know how many people are waiting for this opportunity to show their love!"
Shen Zhijin paused.
…
Gu Tingyin was still sitting in the classroom.
Another boy came over.
"Sister, you didn't bring an umbrella? How about I give it to you?"
She shook her head.
"Thank you, but no need, someone is coming to pick me up."
She has already called the driver and will arrive later.
She came to the capital to study alone, and her family was very worried. They bought a villa near Xijing University and specially assigned her a driver and aunt.
However, she usually spends most of her time at school, and she acts in a low-key manner. She has never asked the driver to come, and other people don't know about it.
The boy shrugged his shoulders, apparently not believing it.
The freshman is from the Academy of Fine Arts, who can pick him up
He thought for a moment, smiled and asked:
"Then shall I wait here with you?"
Gu Tingyin raised her eyes in surprise, before she could say the words of refusal, the boy had already taken two steps towards her, as if planning to sit down next to her.
She frowned slightly:
"I-"
tuk tuk.
A slender, white hand came into view, and it tapped on her table with its fingers.
Gu Tingyin's heart beat slightly.
This hand looks familiar.
She looked sideways slowly, and saw Shen Zhijin turning back at some point and standing beside her.
His black forehead hair was slightly wet, and there was a faint rain vapor all over his body, making his eyebrows and eyes darker.
He holds an umbrella in his other hand.
tick.
The rainwater slid down, smearing a small piece of dark water marks on the ground.
He didn't look at the boy standing on the other side of her, but only looked at her lightly.
Gu Tingyin looked surprised:
"Are you here to see me off?"
Shen Zhijin's words came to a halt suddenly.
— He originally planned to give her the umbrella and leave.
But for some reason, meeting her gaze, the prepared words were finally replaced by other words.
The alienated voice sounded a bit colder amidst the sound of rain.
"Um."
"Very good!"
She immediately stood up, picked up her backpack,
"I'm worried about not knowing how to go back!"
She looked at him eagerly, her eyes were bright, and the tips of her ears were still red.
"Then I, let's go!"
