Because it was the weekend, Jiang Suichu had to go back to the school dormitory. Everyone was tired after playing all day, so we ended the party early after eating the cake.
Jiang Suchu and Lu Zhinian went back to Lu's house to pick up things first. When they got home, Aunt Yuan had already packed her schoolbag and other things.
"Suibao, this bag is for snacks. The bag next to it contains a few apples. You can eat one every day." Aunt Yuan stuffed all the heavy items into Lu Zhinian's hands.
"Let An Nian bring you milk every day. If you need anything, call Aunt Yuan. Aunt Yuan will deliver it to you."
As she said this, she smoothed down Jiang Suichu's clothes again. Seeing that the weather was getting colder, she was really worried about Jiang Suichu living in school. However, she knew that she would be under a lot of pressure to let Jiang Suchu live directly at home, so she didn't mention it again.
Shu Yuan took her hand and warned: "Keep warm at school and don't catch a cold. Just take the clothes home for the weekend and wash them, or you can give them to A Nian and ask him to bring them back. The water is cold in winter, so don't be stupid. Wash it by hand. Do you hear me?"
Aunt Yuan would tell her these words every week. She hugged Aunt Yuan's arm with warmth in her heart and pouted: "I know, Aunt Yuan~"
Lu Zhinian was the one who sent her back to school every week. He leaned on the shoe cabinet in the entrance and watched the two of them reluctant to leave each other every week.
"Mom, if you don't let her go, the school will be closed." Lu Zhinian said helplessly.
Shu Yuan glared at him, then straightened Jiang Suichu's scarf uneasily, "If you have anything to do, call Aunt Yuan."
"Yeah, bye, Aunt Yuan." Jiang Suchu smiled and waved to her.
The driver was already waiting at the door, and Shu Yuan sighed vaguely in her heart when she looked at the backs of the two of them side by side. Time flies so fast. The last time she watched them off like this was when Jiang Suchu and Lu Zhinian went to kindergarten.
Now, they have all grown up.
On weekend nights, except for senior high school students who are taking extra classes, other grades do not have evening self-study. Lu Zhinian would send Jiang Suichu back to school every week. He said hello to the guard at the school gate and went straight in.
The campus is very quiet, and you can hear the sound of senior high school classes coming from the teaching building not far away.
The two of them were walking side by side towards the girls' dormitory. Jiang Suchu was carrying a schoolbag and putting his hands in his coat pockets. His face was buried in his scarf, with only a pair of round almond-shaped eyes exposed.
Lu Zhinian carried the large and small bags that Shu Yuan had prepared for Jiang Suichu, glanced at someone who was almost hiding himself completely, and curled his lips, "Is it cold?"
Jiang Suichu huddled his face in his scarf, raised his eyes to look at him, and nodded, "Aren't you cold?"
He wore a gray sweater underneath and a black cotton coat outside, with the zipper still open.
Lu Zhinian shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's okay."
He moved everything in his hand to one hand, then reached into his pocket and took out a thermal patch and handed it to her, "Take it."
Jiang Suichu took the bright yellow thermal patch and looked up at him, "Hey~ why do you have a thermal patch?"
This warm patch is the same as the one he bought her before, with a pattern of a squirrel on it. It's just that she left the one he bought for her in the classroom and didn't take it with her.
Lu Zhinian looked away, and his breath condensed into white mist in the air, "I think I accidentally put it in my pocket and forgot about it, and just touched it accidentally."
"Oh~ That's it." Jiang Suichu did not doubt that he was there.
She opened the outer packaging of the thermal patch, rubbed it in her hands, and waited for it to get warm while squeezing it with both hands to keep warm.
"It's so warm~" She held the heating patch in her hand and couldn't help but raise her head and sigh.
The moon hung clear in the sky. Jiang Suchu pointed at the moon and said, "Look, Lu Zhinian, the moon is so bright today."
Lu Zhinian looked up and saw that it was really bright.
It was so bright that the clouds around the moon were somewhat transparent due to the light, and layers of them swarmed around the moon.
Jiang Suichu looked at the moon and suddenly thought of what Lu Zhinian said to him at the resort a few months ago.
He said: Dark clouds may cover the moon, but the moon will not disappear.
At this moment, she looked at the bright moon in the night sky and seemed to understand the true meaning of his words.
She stopped and looked up at the moon.
When Lu Zhinian saw her stopping, he also stopped. He watched her little face tilt up, her dark pupils shining with water in the dark night.
He was startled for a moment, then leaned forward to look into her eyes.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly.
Jiang Suichu's eyes slowly fell on his face, which was very close to him. His watery eyes bent, and he smiled and said to him, "Thank you, Lu Zhinian."
"Um?"
Lu Zhinian frowned and looked at her, raised his warm fingertips to touch the ends of her crimson eyes, and whispered, "Thank me for what?"
Thank you for not letting me go because of my inferiority complex.
Thank you for always encouraging and enlightening me over and over again when I deny and give up on myself.
Thank you also for your preference.
She knew that Lu Zhinian had always given her unique preference and pampering. He was using his own methods to slowly transform her back into the domineering and domineering princess in the compound.
Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Zhinian came closer and stared into her eyes, "Huh? Why don't you speak."
Jiang Suichu pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his head, "I just want to thank you."
Seeing that she showed no sign of crying, Lu Zhinian gently pulled down the corner of her mouth and pinched her face, "Did I tell you not to say thank you to me?"
Does not have a long memory.
He used a little force, and Jiang Suichu's face hurt a little from his pinching. She hissed, stared at him and rubbed her face.
He said angrily: "It hurts so much."
Lu Zhinian knew how hard he had just used. It hurt a little but not too much. He straightened up, looked at her, smiled, and said, "It will help you remember better if it hurts."
He carried the things and continued walking forward. Jiang Suchu rubbed his face and looked at his back and pouted.
She chased after him and said, "You really pinched me just now."
Lu Zhinian was holding something in one hand and putting the other in his pocket. He glanced at her and said leisurely, "Oh."
Jiang Suchu: "...I want to tell Aunt Yuan that you bullied me."
At this time, the two of them happened to reach the intersection of the women's dormitory and the men's dormitory. A row of Xiangfei bamboo was planted on both sides to create a natural barrier for the first floor of the men's and women's dormitory.
Xiangfei bamboo grows so tall that it blocks most of the light from the street lamps on both sides of the road. The evening wind blew, and the bamboo shadows on the ground were swaying.
Lu Zhinian suddenly stopped and turned around. Jiang Suichu couldn't avoid it and bumped into his arms. When she fell backwards out of reflex, Lu Zhinian stretched out his arm and hooked her waist and brought her back into his arms.
Jiang Suchu put his hand on his chest and stared at him blankly, with a few strands of hair stuck to his face.
Lu Zhinian's charming peach blossom eyes hooked at her, and he chuckled softly, "Zhuzhu, do you know what bullying is?"
The two people's faces were so close that Jiang Suchu couldn't help but hold his breath, looked at his dark and unclear eyes, and licked his lips: "Wha...what?"
Lu Zhinian slowly lowered his eyelids, looking down from her eyes to her lips. She had just licked her lips, and there was a little moisture on them.
He looked deeply, his Adam's apple rolling.
Jiang Suchu's eyes were fixed on him, and his heart seemed to be about to jump out of his throat when he looked at his face that was slowly approaching.
"Meow~"
When the distance between the two people was less than five centimeters, a yellow and white kitten suddenly jumped out of the bamboo forest.
I was shocked by this absurd scene.
When Jiang Suichu woke up from a dream, she pushed Lu Zhinian away and was about to run away, but Lu Zhinian quickly grabbed her wrist with quick eyesight and hands.
He smiled slightly teasingly: "Why are you running?"
Jiang Suchu didn't look at him. He twisted his neck awkwardly and didn't know where he was looking. "It's almost time to go to bed. I want to go back to the dormitory."
Lu Zhinian looked at her crimson ears, slightly raised his lower lip, and said, "Don't you want anything?"
Jiang Suchu quietly glanced at the large packages he was carrying and grabbed them while he was not prepared.
"You go back first, I'm going in."
"Bye-Bye."
After saying that, he quickly ran into the women's dormitory.
Lu Zhinian saw her disappearing from the door of the dormitory with messy steps. He lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose with a smile.
"Meow~meow~"
The cat came over again with slow cat steps and wandered around his feet.
Lu Zhinian lowered his eyes and glanced at it coldly, thinking that Beibei was better behaved.
Back in the dormitory, the roommates had already washed up and were sitting in bed, playing on their phones or gossiping.
After Jiang Suchu greeted them, he quickly went to wash up before turning off the lights.
After she finished washing and climbed into bed, He Min, who was in the next bed, was lying on the bed chatting with her.
"Suisui, is today Lu Zhinian's birthday? I saw that Tang Zi's WeChat Moments posted photos of you hanging out."
He Min is also from Class 7. She just visited Tang Zifa's circle of friends. There is a photo of Lu Zhinian wearing a birthday hat with his hands in his pockets and lazily bending over to blow out candles.
"I seem to have heard from Tang Zi that Lu Zhinian's birthday is Christmas."
She was seated right in front of Tang Zi and Lu Zhinian, and she overheard Tang Zi say this once.
Jiang Suichu shook off the folded quilt, got into the bed and lay down, and said with a smile: "Don't we all have classes on Monday, so let's celebrate Lu Zhinian in advance."
So that's it. He Min nodded, still looking at Tang Zifa's photo, "I really envy your friendship."
Jiang Suchu smiled, said nothing, and took out his mobile phone to look at Moments.
Tang Zi posted a nine-square grid, including group photos, single photos, and various funny snapshots. The middle one was a group photo of them in front of the merry-go-round.
Everyone wears cute headbands on their heads. Jiang Suchu and Tang Mi smile brightly in the front. The boys in the back are different, but none of them seems to be satisfied with the headbands on their heads.
At first glance, I feel helpless, but I have to obey.
She zoomed in and out of the photo and looked at it many times. She backed out until her phone vibrated with a message coming in.
It was Tang Mi who sent her a lot of messages. Her phone kept vibrating, which made her palms numb.
She clicked on the message, all of which were photos taken by Tang Mi today.
There were almost dozens of them, and she clicked to save them one by one with a smile.
Before she finished saving, Tang Mi sent her a message.
Tang Mi: [Sui Sui, I found a problem & hold on the wall to peek]
Jiang Suchu: [Huh? what is the problem? 】
Tang Mi: [I think Lu Zhinian likes you & gossipy eyes]
Jiang Suichu looked at the message from Tang Mi, his breathing stagnated, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
She glanced at her roommates subconsciously. Everyone was doing their own thing. But she still felt guilty and pulled the quilt over her head, hiding under the quilt to reply to Tang Mi's message.
Jiang Suichu: [Don’t talk nonsense]
Tang Mi: [I’m not talking nonsense, I have evidence. 】
Jiang Suichu: [……]
Tang Mi: [When I came back to look at the photos, I found that as long as you and Lu Zhinian are in the same frame, his eyes are definitely looking at you. 】
Tang Mi: [If you don’t believe me, look at the photo I sent you & raise your eyebrows and smile]
Jiang Suichu saved a few pictures just now and didn't have time to take a closer look.
She bit her lower lip and replied: [This doesn't mean anything]
Tang Mi: [You read it first, if you still think it’s nothing after reading it, I, Tang Mi, are written backwards]
Jiang Suichu【...but isn't your nickname just called Honey】
Tang Mi: [Hurry up and show me the photos & roll your eyes]
This solid-eyed kid is so clueless that he doesn't know how long Lu Zhinian will have to chase him.
Tang Mi sent Jiang Suchu to look at the photo, and then clicked on Lu Zhinian's dialog box to send a photo of him and Jiang Suchu in the same frame. Lu Zhinian asked her for it a few minutes ago.
Tang Mi looked at the dialog box and couldn't help but send a message to Lu Zhinian.
Tang Mi: [Lu Zhinian, do you like Suisui? 】
Mainly she was just too curious.
Lu Zhinian's reply was quick and crisp as always.
【Um】
No hesitation, no denial. Just one word can tell that Lu Zhinian's attitude is firm and persistent.
Tang Mi was a little stunned when she saw that 'hmm', shook her head and sighed: "Lu Zhinian, you are so fierce."
She didn't hide it at all, and wasn't afraid that she would tell Jiang Suchu.
Lu Zhinian, from the time she met her in the third grade of elementary school to the present, has always looked like a young and stoic person. She had always felt that for a boring gourd like Lu Zhinian, anyone who liked him would be looking for trouble.
It's cold and stuffy, and I don't talk much. Moreover, he may seem gentle and polite, but when he rejects someone, he is ruthless and ruthless.
Over the years, there have been many girls who have come after him because of his beautiful face, and none of them have been rejected ruthlessly by him.
However, it wasn't until Jiang Suichu appeared. She saw a completely different Lu Zhinian. He was gentle and patient. He would bend down to listen to her and take the initiative to help her twist the cap of her water bottle. Carrying her schoolbag will make her happy from time to time.
And she noticed that every time a few people were together, Lu Zhinian's eyes were always on Jiang Suchu.
He would pay attention to her various things. For example, a few people went to the mall to play before and passed by a game mall. Jiang Suchu just took one more look at the claw machine at the door, and he immediately went to the front desk to change the game coins.
In order to take care of her self-esteem, he didn't say that he changed it specially for her. Instead, he said that he wanted to play the game console. After giving Pei Shuo and Tang Zi some game coins, he gave the rest to Jiang Suchu and told him to let them catch the doll and wait for them.
In fact, there were many times like this when he could always properly take care of Jiang Suchu's self-esteem.
It turns out that this is how Lu Zhinian likes someone.
