In the past, Meng Xinghe came to see Qi Yan, but today after school, Meng Xinghe saw Qi Yan at the door of his classroom.
"Ah, Qi Yan." Meng Xinghe's eyes lit up: "Do you have anything to do with me? In fact, if you have something to do, just tell me. There is no need to come here to wait for me."
"No, there are some things that must be explained clearly to the seniors." His usually unconfident voice now revealed a hint of determination.
Meng Xinghe's smile froze for a moment, and then he raised his lips: "Okay, do you still want to eat Japanese food?"
"No..." Qi Yan shook his head: "I'll treat the senior to coffee."
Meng Xinghe's eyes flashed, but he didn't make any reaction. After a long while, he brushed his clothes and said, "Okay, you can lead the way!"
Qi Yan didn't take Meng Xinghe to any particularly expensive coffee shop, but to a cold drink shop that students liked to go to. It's a big place and the decoration design is very pastoral. Qi Yan likes to sit here and rest when he has nothing to do. Whether it is studying or relaxing, it has a unique flavor.
After ordering two cups of this restaurant's specialties, Qi Yan looked at the leisurely and contented Meng Xinghe opposite him, and felt a little timid about what to say.
"What's wrong, don't you have something to tell me?" Meng Xinghe looked at him, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Don't you want to say it anymore?"
"No, I have to say it!" Qi Yan composed himself: "I... I want to apologize. I left suddenly yesterday. I am very embarrassed!"
Meng Xinghe held his chin with both hands and stared at Qi Yan intently. After a moment, he smiled softly: "Okay, I accept it."
Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really tired from talking to Meng Xinghe...
Meng Xinghe is a very shrewd person. Unlike Tao Qing, he is stupid and will say whatever he wants. Rather than saying that Tao Qing is an adult who has entered society, it is better to say that Meng Xinghe has the shrewdness and calculation of an adult.
"Also, regarding what the senior said yesterday..." Qi Yan pursed his lips: "I have thought about it for a long time, but I still want to refuse."
"Refuse?" Meng Xinghe raised his voice with some confusion: "Because of worldly reasons? Or... the man last night?"
"No, it has nothing to do with any of this." Qi Yan shook his head: "It's purely my own fault."
Meng Xinghe looked at Qi Yan, reached out and pulled out a tissue from the box next to him: "Although it's very presumptuous, but if I remember correctly... Qi Yan, you should like me, right?"
Qi Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at Meng Xinghe in shock. How did he know? Could it be that the original owner had said something to him before, or had any hints? But Qi Yan's memory does not have such things! Between the original owner and Meng Xinghe, one was shining brightly, surrounded by everyone; the other was like a weed on the street, too ordinary...
Although the original owner often looked at Meng Xinghe in a daze, he never confessed or expressed his feelings!
"Senior, you..."
"Qi Yan often looks at Owen, which gives me this illusion." Meng Xinghe suddenly smiled: "It seems that I guessed it right."
"Ah no!" Qi Yan finally realized that he had been tricked by Meng Xinghe: "I, although I liked the senior before, but now I don't-"
"Don't you like it?" Meng Xinghe touched his chin pretending to be distressed and frowned: "That's really sad."
"..." Qi Yan was speechless. The look he looked at Meng Xinghe clearly didn't come from his heart... So, was Meng Xinghe playing tricks on him from beginning to end
Terrible thoughts occurred in his mind, and Qi Yan had the urge to escape.
Meng Xinghe sighed: "I thought Qi Yan would be a very dedicated person."
"I..." Qi Yan choked and had nothing to say.
What to say? Isn't the 'I' who likes you the same person I am now
No matter what Meng Xinghe thought about him, it didn't matter. You have already decided to cut off the relationship that has not yet begun, so you can't have any hesitation, even if you are the one who is wrong.
"I'm sorry, senior." Qi Yan's voice was sincere: "It's not so much that I don't like you, senior, it's better to say that I never liked you in the first place. I don't deny that I am a boring person, and there are not many people who can treat me sincerely. , not many people are willing to be friends with me. Until now, I may not say ten sentences in a day at school."
"My senior was really nice to me at the time. He was willing to promote me and joke with me, which gave me confidence."
"At that time, I followed the seniors with my eyes, thinking that only because of seniors would Qi Yan become what he is today."
"Later I found out that I was wrong. I admired you and envied you, but I didn't like or admire you."
"The senior suddenly said something like that yesterday, which surprised me. After I get home, I want to think about it carefully and wonder if my past behavior has caused you trouble or misunderstanding. If so, I want to apologize here."
"sorry-"
Qi Yan stood up and bowed deeply to Meng Xinghe.
The noisy surroundings suddenly became silent, as if you could even hear the sound of a pin dropping.
Meng Xinghe looked at Qi Yan. He kept bending over, as if he wouldn't get up if he didn't speak.
After a long time, Meng Xinghe sighed softly.
"Okay, sit down quickly, people will be watching you soon."
Qi Yan raised his head and looked at Meng Xinghe without blinking: "Senior, have you forgive me?"
Meng Xinghe chuckled softly: "Who said you are dull? Qi Yan, you are obviously very smart. Did I say I won't forgive you and you won't sit still?"
Qi Yan nodded without any hesitation.
Meng Xinghe smiled bitterly and raised his hands as if surrendering: "Okay, okay, you win, I forgive you."
A big stone fell to the ground in his heart. Qi Yan sat on the chair and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
At this time, the two cups of coffee that Qi Yan asked for arrived.
"Senior, please try it, it's very delicious." Qi Yan pushed the quilt in front of Meng Xinghe: "Their family's specialties."
"Is there something special about coffee?"
“You’ll know if it’s special after you drink it.”
After hearing Qi Yan's words, Meng Xinghe took a sip, pursed his lips and savored the taste, and suddenly laughed.
"Haha, it's really... unique."
Qi Yan smiled but said nothing.
"Qi Yan, I want to ask you." Meng Xinghe put down his coffee and said seriously: "Why did you choose to tell me clearly?"
Qi Yan was stunned for a moment, then held the hand holding the coffee cup: "Because..."
"Huh?" Meng Xinghe asked: "I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily. If you don't tell me clearly, I might go and check it myself."
"Because of the person I like." Qi Yan did not hold back: "When I have someone I really like, the feeling he gives me is different from the feeling I had when I thought I liked my senior. It is precisely because of this that I understand I realized that my feelings for my senior were not as ambiguous as I imagined, but could not be more ordinary."
Finally, Meng Xinghe took a sip of coffee and spoke calmly.
"I wish you happiness."
