There have been several wet and cold autumn rains in succession. Yunshi is getting colder day by day, and the students have also put on thick winter uniforms.
At noon, Tang Mi came and asked Jiang Suichu to go to the canteen to eat together. The two of them walked hand in hand to the canteen slowly.
Jiang Suichu was afraid of the cold, so he put his hands in his sleeves and hugged Tang Mi's arm, "Tangtang, how are you and Jiang Minghao?"
Jiang Suichu was not surprised at all when Molasses confessed to Jiang Minghao. She knew that Tang Mi was a brave and straightforward girl.
Tang Mi curled her lips and said, "It's still like that. He's hiding from me as if he's hiding from something."
Since she confessed her love, she obviously felt that Jiang Minghao was avoiding her. When she sent him messages, she either didn't reply, or she only replied with a few simple words. When they asked him to hang out on the weekend, Jiang Minghao found various excuses to shirk the invitation.
Tang Mi kicked the dead branches on the road, lowered her head and sighed: "Oh, why is it so difficult to fall in love?"
Her voice was so loud that Jiang Suchu was so frightened that she quickly looked around, fearing that a passing teacher might hear her.
Jiang Suchu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing no teacher around.
Jiang Suichu: "Tangtang, you guys are in puppy love. Aren't you afraid?"
Tang Mi looked at her and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Jiang Suichu pursed his lips and said, "Parents and teachers... aren't you afraid?"
Tang Mi shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid. I think it's normal to like someone. As long as we don't do anything outrageous and it doesn't delay our studies, I think it'll be fine."
Tang Mi hooked Jiang Suichu's neck and whispered in her ear: "Suisui, sometimes you just think too much."
Jiang Suchu looked at Tang Mi and she didn't deny it.
Tang Mi said: "Adults always tell us that this is not allowed and that is not allowed. In fact, it is just their unilateral weighing of the pros and cons. However, there are some things that others cannot truly understand your feelings. We might as well ignore the external All voices, listen to your innermost thoughts.”
Tang Mi stretched out her finger and touched Jiang Suchu's heart, and said, "When you like someone, you know that they are more honest than you."
Jiang Suchu bit her lip, Tang Mi was really braver and more open-minded than she imagined.
She smiled and said, "Tangtang, do you like Jiang Minghao so much?"
Tang Mi nodded, then pouted and said helplessly: "What's the point of liking me? He doesn't like me."
Jiang Suchu said: "Actually, I don't think Jiang Minghao has any feelings for you at all."
Tang Mi's eyes suddenly lit up and she pulled her, "What should I say?"
Jiang Suchu thought for a while and said, "Intuition."
Tang Mi rolled her eyes at her and said, "...Sui Sui, if I don't lead you, I will give people hope and let people down."
Jiang Suchu smiled and said seriously: "I'm serious. I know Jiang Minghao quite well. He is a very straightforward person. It's not like no girl has confessed to him before, but he rejected them outright. But you are different. After you told me that day, I felt that Jiang Minghao couldn't bear to reject you."
Tang Mi had hope in her eyes again and looked at her, "Really?"
Jiang Suchu nodded at her and said, "Really."
Jiang Suchu knew that with Jiang Minghao's character, if he didn't like Tang Mi, he could just say that he didn't like her when Tang Mi confessed to him. But he didn't, and his answer showed that he had actually considered the possibility between the two of them.
After listening to Jiang Suichu's words, Tang Mi felt more confident.
There were many people in the cafeteria, and the overwhelming crowd made it difficult for them to find where Lu Zhinian and the others were.
Pei Shuo saw them first, stood up and waved to her, "Sui Sui Tang Xiaomi, this way!"
Pei Shuo was tall, and Jiang Suchu saw him as soon as he stood up.
She pulled Tang Mi over and asked, "Why are you sitting in such a place today?"
Usually they sit in the row outside.
Pei Shuo: "There's no wind in this place. You two came so slowly that it was cold even when you were sitting outside eating."
No. 1 Middle School was originally close to the river, and the cafeteria happened to be facing the river. When the weather is warm, it is comfortable to sit outside and enjoy the river breeze while eating. But it’s uncomfortable in winter. The cold wind blows and the freshly cooked rice goes cold within a few minutes.
Jiang Suichu sat down with his shoulders shrugged and said, "It's really cold today."
Tang Zi ate his meal and said, "It's okay."
Pei Shuo also said: "Yes, the highest temperature today seems to be around ten degrees."
Yun City is a southern city that's a little further north. In winter, the temperature is usually around ten degrees above zero. It doesn't snow, but it's very wet and cold.
After Jiang Suchu sat down, Lu Zhinian pushed the dinner plate in front of her. She retracted her hands in her sleeves, grabbed her chopsticks, and started to eat slowly, "The highest temperature is only over ten degrees?"
No wonder it's so cold.
Lu Zhinian glanced at her. His hands were completely retracted in his sleeves, leaving only a few fingertips hanging on the chopsticks.
He curled his lower lip and looked at her, "Are you so afraid of the cold?"
Jiang Suichu chewed rice in his mouth, nodded and said vaguely: "Don't you really feel cold?"
She saw that everyone was wearing very little, including Lu Zhinian, who seemed to be wearing a sweatshirt under his school uniform.
Tang Mi said: "The temperature tolerance range of these boys and us girls is different."
Pei Shuo glanced at Jiang Suichu and said, "Suisui, are you wearing too little?"
Jiang Suichu raised his hand to show him his sleeves, "It's quite a few. I'm wearing four."
The innermost layer is an autumn coat and cashmere vest, a sweater is worn in the middle, and the outermost layer is a winter school uniform.
………
Several people were shocked.
Jiang Suichu is so thin that she doesn't look bloated even though she wears so much.
Tang Mi smiled and said, "Sui Sui, it's just winter and you're wearing so much. What will you do when the cold wave comes later?"
Yun City experiences one or two cold waves blowing from the north every winter. It's extremely cold, the temperature is almost below zero, and there's frost on the roads.
Jiang Suichu poked at the rice and pouted, "It would be great if people could hibernate."
Hahaha, several people were amused by her words.
Lu Zhinian smiled lightly, took out his mobile phone and rowed while eating, and said, "If you could hibernate, what animal would you like to become?"
Jiang Suichu thought about it for a moment, and she didn't know what other animals besides snakes could hibernate.
She put her chopsticks on the dinner plate, tilted her head and asked him: "What animal other than snakes hibernates?"
She is afraid of snakes, and she doesn't want to turn into one. It would be best to turn it into a cute, furry animal.
Pei Shuo answered quickly: "I know that."
Jiang Suchu turned his head and looked at him, "What?"
Pei Shuo picked up his rice and smiled mischievously, saying, "You bastard."
Jiang Suichu looked confused: "...uh...is there anything else?"
Tang Mi thought for a while and said, "It seems that hedgehogs also hibernate."
Tang Zi nodded, "Well, there are also bats."
…
They said Jiang Suichu didn't like anyone. She didn't want to become a hedgehog or a bat, especially not a bastard.
Jiang Suichu had a reluctant look on his face, and his delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Aren't there any cute little animals?"
"Yes." Lu Zhinian put away his phone.
Jiang Suchu looked at him expectantly, "What?"
Lu Zhinian smiled and said, "Squirrel."
Squirrel~
Jiang Suchu smiled with satisfaction, "This is okay."
After dinner, they walked towards the teaching building. Halfway there, Lu Zhinian's phone rang.
He stopped to answer the call, and several other people also stopped to wait for him.
"Yes, it's mine."
"Well, it doesn't matter. Just leave it in the guard room. I'll pick it up in a moment."
When Lu Zhinian hung up the phone, Pei Shuo asked him, "Did you buy something?"
He glanced at the pickup code and said, "I sent something as an errand, but it was delivered by mistake and sent to the back door."
The back school gate is in the opposite direction of the teaching building, which is a bit far.
"You guys should go back to the classroom first." Lu Zhinian put his cell phone in his pocket, and then looked at Jiang Suichu, who was huddled next to Tang Mi. "Suisui, come with me to get it."
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment, "Ah~ why should I go too?"
She pouted with reluctance on her face. It was too cold outside, and she just wanted to get back to the warm classroom and blow on the air conditioner.
Lu Zhinian looked at her pleading eyes and raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Aren't you going to get your things yourself?"
Jiang Suichu asked doubtfully: "Mine?"
"Did Aunt Yuan have someone deliver it to her?" She usually lived in school, and Shu Yuan was worried that she would not eat well at school, so she often asked errands or her aunt at home to deliver things to Jiang Suichu.
She didn't bring her mobile phone, maybe Shu Yuan told Lu Zhinian before she could contact her.
Lu Zhinian didn't reply to her, but just said, "Let's go."
Pei Shuo wanted to go back to No. 4 Middle School from the main entrance, but he didn't go with them.
Except for going to and from school, no one usually comes to the back school gate.
During lunch break, this section of the road was even more deserted, and I didn’t meet many people along the way.
Jiang Suchu walked on Lu Zhinian's left hand side. He put his hands in his pockets and his sleeves were slightly raised, revealing a section of his white wrists.
Jiang Suchu reached out and touched the thickness of his clothes on his arms, which were two thin layers.
She looked up at him and asked, "Lu Zhinian, are you really not cold if you wear so little?"
Although the school uniform is a winter style, the inner layer is only a thin layer of velvet, and the sweatshirt he wears underneath is also an autumn style without velvet.
Jiang Suchu felt that he must be looking cool, and wanted to be elegant rather than warm. He had poor health when he was a child, and he had to go to the hospital more times than he could count, especially in the winter.
"It's so cold, you still have to wear more clothes. Don't do it for the sake of being handsome, do it for style rather than warmth." Her tone was rather preachy.
Lu Zhinian looked sideways at her sincere expression and smiled. He took his hand out of his pocket and stretched it out in front of her.
"You touch it."
Jiang Suichu looked at the fair and beautiful palms spread out in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and turned to look at him, "Huh? Touch... what are you touching?"
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows and said, "Touch me to see if I'm cold. Are you trying to be cool?"
…
Jiang Suchu looked at his well-joined hands and sighed in his heart, these hands are really beautiful!
She raised her eyes to look at him and said hesitantly: "Then I really touched it?"
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows at the corners of his lips, gesturing for her to touch it.
Jiang Suchu stretched out his hand, and when her fingertips were about to touch his hand, she suddenly stopped.
Lu Zhinian saw her glance around a few times with a guilty conscience, and then quickly touched his hand after making sure there was no one around.
She moved quickly, like a kitten stretching out its paws to scratch someone, and her fingertips touched him in the palm of his hand.
Itchy.
Lu Zhinian was stunned for a moment, then calmly took his hand back and put it in his pocket.
"How was it?" he asked.
Jiang Suichu pursed his lower lip, looked at the road ahead, and said, "It's... not bad, it's not very warm either."
"I think you should wear more clothes."
After saying that, she walked a little faster, staggering ahead of him.
Lu Zhinian walked slowly behind her, looked at the tips of her crimson ears, smiled faintly and said "oh".
When he arrived at the guard room, Lu Zhinian reported the pickup code, and the guard found the item and handed it to him.
Lu Zhinian took the things and politely thanked him.
Jiang Suichu looked at the package in his hand and felt a little strange, "Isn't this from Aunt Yuan?"
Every time Shu Yuan gave her something, she always put it in a beautiful bag. What Lu Zhinian was holding was a very ordinary takeout bag.
Lu Zhinian opened the package as he walked and said, "I bought it."
Listening to his confident tone, Jiang Suichu shrank his neck and accused him, "You lied to me!"
Lu Zhinian threw the outer packaging into the trash can, raised his eyes to look at her, and asked with a smile: "When did I lie to you?"
"Didn't you just say it's my thing? You obviously bought it yourself, aren't you lying to me?"
"This is your thing."
Jiang Suchu was a little confused and looked at him: "Huh?"
Lu Zhinian took out two pieces of warm baby, tore open the outer plastic packaging, rubbed them with his hands, and then stuffed them into her hand after they started to heat up.
He smiled and said, "Aren't you a little squirrel who wants to hibernate?"
Jiang Suichu stared blankly at the bright yellow warm patch in his hand, with a cute little squirrel printed on it.
The warm feeling radiated from Jiang Suichu's hands bit by bit, spreading to his limbs.
She thought of Lu Zhinian asking him in the cafeteria just now: If she could hibernate, what animal would she want to turn into.
She looked at him and murmured, "Lu Zhinian, are you buying these for me?"
Lu Zhinian still held the remaining dozen or so sheets in his hand. He raised his eyes to look at her and chuckled, "Otherwise."
Who else can I buy it for if not her?
Even though she had already guessed the answer, her heart suddenly beat fast when she heard him say it himself.
She lowered her eyes, squeezed the warm baby in her hand, and said softly "Oh" with the corners of her mouth bent.
Lu Zhinian looked at her and smiled lightly, then reached out and patted her head and said, "Let's go, little squirrel who needs to hibernate."
Jiang Suichu followed him with Nuan Baobao in her hand. She tilted her head to look at him and called his name.
"Lu Zhinian."
Lu Zhinian kept walking, "Yeah."
"This warm patch is really warm~" Her voice sounded very excited.
"Um."
Lu Zhinian curved the corners of his mouth, dimpling the dimples on his cheeks.
"Lu Zhinian." She called his name again.
Every time she called his name, her tone rose.
Lu Zhinian looked sideways at her, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Suichu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want to touch my hand?"
Lu Zhinian paused and looked down at her.
She put the thermal patch in her school uniform pocket and stretched out a hand to him, "My hand is very warm now."
Lu Zhinian looked at her small palms, his Adam's apple twitching slightly.
"Really warm?" he asked.
Jiang Suchu nodded, stepped forward and pulled out his hand from his pocket, grabbing his hand as if shaking hands with someone.
Her grip was so tight that Lu Zhinian didn't dare to use force at first. His fingers weakly circled her hand, and he slowly deepened his strength little by little, squeezing her hand with the same strength.
Her hands were small, and his fingers almost completely wrapped around the back of her hands. Their palms were touching, and the warmth in her palms slowly passed through her skin into his.
Jiang Suchu looked at him with bright eyes and asked him, "Is it very warm?"
Lu Zhinian looked into her eyes and nodded, his voice a little hoarse.
"Very warm."
His eyes were deep, looking only at her. Jiang Suichu later realized that the two people's actions were a bit out of bounds. She looked away and quickly retracted her hand.
He said sarcastically: "You... the quality of the thermal patch you bought is very good..."
Lu Zhinian glanced at his empty palm and moved his fingertips slightly.
Jiang Suchu looked around and said, "It's almost lunch break. Let's go back to the classroom quickly."
After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for him and rushed forward with his head lowered.
Tang Mi's words were swirling in her mind.
