Jiang Suichu kept his head buried in his arms, not daring to raise his head or turn around to look at Lu Zhinian.
Lu Zhinian lay on the table with his head sideways, looked at the tips of her red ears, and said softly: "Jiang Suichu, turn around and look at me."
Jiang Suchu knew that he had been looking at her, and she felt nervous when she thought of Lu Zhinian's hot eyes when he said he liked her just now.
Don't dare to see him.
She buried her face tightly in her arms, shook her head, and said nothing.
Winter is already dry, and her hair is even more frizzy from being rubbed.
Lu Zhinian looked at her furry head and laughed silently, "Then let me tell you, can you listen?"
Jiang Suichu opened his eyes and stared at the tabletop under his arms. Who knew who had drawn a few hearts on it with a marker.
She stared at the heart, nodded slowly, and responded vaguely, "Well..."
Lu Zhinian lay on the table, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Originally, I didn't plan to confess my love so soon. I was afraid it would scare you. I was also afraid that you would think that my love for you is mixed with other things. emotion."
Jiang Suchu stared at the table and his eyelashes twitched when he heard what he said. She did wonder if Lu Zhinian's liking for her was due to sympathy or... guilt.
"I originally thought that since you are by my side anyway, and the days are still long, you will slowly find out that I like you just because you are you. But I didn't expect that guy Tang Mi to break my plan." As he said, He chuckled and continued, "I don't want you to hear that I like you from others, and I don't want you to guess."
"You've been avoiding me all morning today. I'm actually quite nervous, to be honest." Lu Zhinian twitched the corner of his mouth somewhat self-deprecatingly and said, "I'm afraid you're avoiding me because I like you. It bothers you or you don’t like me..."
Before he finished asking, he saw Jiang Suchu shaking his head several times quickly.
Her voice was a little buzzing as she said, "No...it's not..."
Her voice was very low, and Lu Zhinian moved closer, "What is it?"
Jiang Suchu bit his lip and slowly turned his face, revealing only a pair of eyes. After seeing him very close to her, she quickly lowered her eyes and stared at his hand on the table.
She looked at his beautiful fingers and murmured in a low voice: "It's not that it bothers me...it's not that I don't like it..."
After saying that, Jiang Suchu's face turned red again at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She didn't feel troubled, she just didn't know how to face Lu Zhinian.
When Tang Mi told her last night that Lu Zhinian might like her, her first reaction was to feel nervous and her heart beat faster.
Tang Mi once told her that if you like someone, your heart beats faster when you think about him. Last night, she hid under the quilt and put her palms on her chest, feeling the chaotic beating rhythm under her skin.
It turned out that I had already fallen in love with Lu Zhinian without knowing it.
When did it start?
She had no way of knowing.
She just felt like her heart was filled to the brim when she thought of him.
After figuring out his feelings for Lu Zhinian, the throbbing in his heart was replaced by the uneasiness that followed.
She was afraid that Tang Mi had made a mistake, and she was also afraid that she had thought too much. She felt that Lu Zhinian was so outstanding, how could he like such an ordinary self.
She was indeed avoiding Lu Zhinian on purpose today because she was afraid that her awkwardness would be exposed and that Lu Zhinian would find out that her thoughts would cause trouble to him.
Lu Zhinian slowly relaxed after hearing her words.
He stared at her face, rolled his Adam's apple nervously, and said in a low voice: "Then... do you like me?"
He wanted to hear her exact answer.
For a few seconds while waiting for Jiang Suichu's answer, Lu Zhinian felt an unprecedented tension.
He always thought that he could be calm and self-possessed about everything, but he didn't want to panic at this moment.
Jiang Suchu kept staring at his fingers and didn't dare to look up at him.
She bit her lower lip, nodded slowly, and made a soft 'hmm' sound.
Seeing her nodding, Lu Zhinian's heart almost reached his throat before slowly falling back.
He leaned closer, tilted his head to look into her eyes, and said lazily, "Huh? What do you mean?"
…
Jiang Suchu felt that he did it on purpose. She raised her eyes and glanced at him, only to see a smug smile on his lips.
"Do you like me? Or don't you?" He curled his lips and stared at her, asking again in a coaxing voice.
Jiang Suchu felt that her face was burning again. She lowered her head and buried her face, and said angrily, "Lu Zhinian, you are really annoying!!"
He clearly knew what she meant, yet he asked her again and again.
Lu Zhinian looked at her shy look and smiled fondly. Out of sight of her, he slowly opened his palm.
Several clear nail marks were sunk into the red palms. God knows how nervous he was just now.
Just when he thought she wouldn't answer anymore, he saw Jiang Suchu tilt his head and look at him.
Her round almond eyes stared at him, slowly curved into crescent moons.
"Lu Zhinian, I like you!"
He said he didn't want her to guess, and neither did she.
She already knew her feelings for Lu Zhinian, so there was no need to be coy.
If you like it, you just like it.
She was lucky that the person she liked also happened to like her.
Lu Zhinian could not use words to describe the throbbing in his heart at that moment, but in the days to come, he would often recall the scene in front of him.
The warm sunshine outside the window shone on her body, and her whole body was enveloped in the light, which was particularly unreal.
She lay on the table, looked at herself with a blushing face, bent her eyes and said she liked him.
Lu Zhinian felt his heartbeat slow for a beat, and his deep eyes were filled with softness.
He looked at her and raised his thin lips slightly, "Me too."
After the window paper between the two people was completely pierced, they fell into an inexplicable silence for a moment.
Jiang Suchu felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her. She looked away and hesitated: "We..."
Lu Zhinian knew what she wanted to say. He reached out and tucked the strands of hair from her forehead behind her ears, and asked her, "Do you want to fall in love?"
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment, blushed and shook his head, "We are still young... no... we can't fall in love early..."
Lu Zhinian smiled, knowing that the two of them really fell in love prematurely. Jiang Suichu must have been on tenterhooks all day long, fearing that the teacher would find out and call his parents.
He smiled, rubbed her head and nodded: "Yes, we must strictly abide by school rules and disciplines."
In Lu Zhinian's view, the two parties have already determined their feelings for each other, and there is no need to take risks to challenge the school's rules and regulations and add unnecessary risks to the relationship.
After all, their main task at the moment is learning.
Lu Zhinian looked at her and said, "Zhuzhu, do you believe me?"
He never called her that in front of others. He usually called her Piggy when they were alone.
Jiang Suchu didn't know why he asked, but he nodded anyway, "Letter."
Lu Zhinian looked into her eyes: "In the next two years, you can study with peace of mind. I will help you make up for your weak subjects. Don't worry about what will happen in the future. I will always be with you."
He secretly wanted to go to the same university as her in the future, but he didn't say anything. He didn't want to set limits on her because of his own ideas, she had her own choice.
No matter whether they were in the same university or not, he would never let go of her hand.
It's somewhat unrealistic to say forever at this age, just like the colorful soap bubbles in the sun.
If you don't poke it with your hands, it will explode when exposed to the sun.
However, Jiang Suchu chose to believe him without hesitation.
She nodded, not sure how to respond.
Lu Zhinian didn't need her response, he just wanted her to understand his feelings.
Speaking of which, Lu Zhinian finally relaxed completely after being nervous all morning.
He looked at the time and saw that class was about to begin.
"I don't have time to help you read English today." Lu Zhinian smiled and leaned on the table as if he was relieved of his efforts.
Confessing love is much more tiring than writing a program.
As he lay down, their faces were very close to each other. Jiang Suchu pursed his lower lip and looked away, "No...it doesn't matter. Yesterday's article felt quite simple."
I don’t know if the tutoring is effective, but I can clearly feel that my listening level has improved a lot in the past few days.
When Jiang Suchu saw Lu Zhinian staring at her and smiling, she couldn't help but turn up the corners of her lips and dodge her eyes: "Why are you laughing?"
The dimples on Lu Zhinian's cheeks were deep. He took the phone and placed it between the two of them.
"I'm happy." He said as he opened the phone.
Jiang Suchu saw him entering his password and remembered that today was his birthday.
"Lu Zhinian."
"Yeah." He raised his eyelids and looked at her, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Suchu took out a pendant from his school uniform pocket, held it in his hand, and handed it to him sheepishly.
"This...this is for you."
Lu Zhinian took it and held it in his hand, turning it over and over. It's a little yellow fox crocheted with wool. There is no washing label, it doesn’t look like I bought it.
"Did you do this yourself?"
"Yeah." Jiang Suichu nodded sheepishly, "The knitting is a bit ugly, don't mind."
She knew that everything Lu Zhinian used was expensive, and she really didn't know what to buy for him.
She knitted this little fox because she called her grandma two weeks ago. Her grandma said that she had knitted a sweater for her, and then she remembered that she could knit a small gadget as a birthday gift for him.
Fortunately, grandma taught her how to knit before. Although the knitting was a little bad, luckily I managed to finish it.
Lu Zhinian didn't feel ugly, but rather cute.
He held it in his hand and couldn't put it down. He raised his eyebrows and teased her: "Is this a token of love?"
Jiang Suchu:...? ? ?
Jiang Suchu's eyes widened in shock at his words, and he blushed: "No, this is a birthday gift!"
Who knew he was going to confess his love today!
Jiang Suchu glanced at the time on his computer, and it was less than ten minutes before class.
She picked up the book and stood up, "Let's go back to the classroom."
She really couldn't stay with him, and she urgently needed to calm down.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to listen to the class this afternoon.
