IACF [QT] Chapter 23.2

Arc 1: Like You (2)

Advertisement

During the break, there were many students at the school gate, so the two people attracted a lot of attention.

Originally, the two of them were the focus of everyone’s attention in the school. Now they were standing together, and they seemed to be very close, which attracted more attention.

Many students even stopped to observe them secretly.

Xie Shengkai curled his lips and said, “Although Xiao Yan didn’t mention it, I can’t pretend not to know. According to the friendship between our two families, I will of course take good care of you.”

“If you encounter any problems in the future, come to find me in the second grade of high school and just tell me your name. When you are free, we can go out and play together.”

Su Yi said ‘Oh’ again.

In fact, she was a little impatient. It was time to get out of school and wait to go home for lunch. This guy stopped her and said a bunch of things that she didn’t believe, with a fake smile, and he didn’t mean to stop.

If it wasn’t in public, she would have knocked him out and left.

What could be more important than eating in the world?

She was thinking about saying something to get rid of him, but she saw Xie Shengkai turning his gaze behind her. She also turned around and saw Xiao Yan walking toward her.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have already gotten into the car, but he came over when he saw that she hadn’t come out.

Su Yi suddenly felt relaxed. She could almost see lunch waving at her.

She raised her foot and walked toward Xiao Yan. As soon as she took a step, her school bag was pulled by someone.

It turned out that Xie Shengkai had hooked her bag strap with his finger.

Xiao Yan walked up to Su Yi and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Before Su Yi could speak, Xie Shengkai spoke first, “Just chat casually. Ask Su Yi when she is free to go out and play together. You’re not coming, are you?”

Xiao Yan still looked at Su Yi. When he saw her shaking her head slightly, he looked at Xie Shengkai, “Let’s talk about playing later. My family is waiting. We’ll leave first.”

Xie Shengkai still had a smile on his face, “Okay.”

Xiao Yan took Su Yi and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, Xie Shengkai suddenly raised his voice and said, “Su Yi, remember what I said. I like you very much.”

Just now, after Xiao Yan came, there were more people around who were watching intentionally or unintentionally, and some people were whispering about something. Now, after hearing Xie Shengkai’s ambiguous words, several girls exclaimed in a low voice.

Xie Shengkai turned his head to look at them, curled his lips, and smiled, and then the girls blushed.

“Wait a minute.” Su Yi said to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly and prepared to say something to her.

Seeing the two people stop, Xie Shengkai raised his eyebrows and straightened up.

However, Su Yi pointed at his neck and said seriously, “There is a big bug on your neck.”

Then, she left.

Xiao Yan glanced at Xie Shengkai’s neck and quickly moved away. For the first time in his life, there was a smile in his eyes, and then he left with Su Yi.

Xie Shengkai’s face froze.

He then noticed an unusual itch on his neck, as if something was crawling toward his face. He reached out and grabbed a big green caterpillar as thick as a finger, which was struggling and twisting in his hand.

The girls watching had never seen such a big caterpillar before. They screamed and ran away. Some were scared, and some were disgusted.

Xie Shengkai had a blank expression on his face. The caterpillar twisted a few times in his hand and gradually became motionless.

Some people also found it strange. Although they were under a tree, it was already winter. Where did the insects come out from?

No one could figure out this question.

At night, Su Yi went to the living room to pour water. When she was about to go back to her room, she heard a slight noise outside the window. She went to the balcony and saw that it was snowing again.

Small and light snowflakes danced in the dim street lights, like naughty elves in the night sky, slowly fell to the ground, and turned into water silently.

Su Yi caught a piece with her hand, but it melted away before she could observe it carefully.

She exhaled again, and the snow-white air mass seemed like a small piece of cloud, slowly dissipating.

This was really a very interesting world.

She thought so as she looked up at the snow falling like rice grains.

There were footsteps behind her, and soon, Xiao Yan stood beside her.

“Look at that small piece of snowflakes. It looks like popping candy.” Su Yi pointed to the street light.

Xiao Yan was already used to her using food as a metaphor. After staring at the snow for a while, he actually felt that it did look a bit like it.

He knew that Su Yi had hidden a snowman in the refrigerator, and she would take it out from time to time, show it to the golden retriever at home, and then put it back, causing the dog to whimper around the refrigerator these days.

Grandma Qu thought that it had learned bad things and wanted to eat the food in the refrigerator, so she scolded it, which made the dog feel very wronged.

Su Yi did something bad and just laughed secretly on the side.

Xiao Yan saw everything, but of course, he would not speak for Mimi.

He looked at the snow and suddenly asked: “Has Xie Shengkai looked for you before?”

After the two of them got in the car in the afternoon, he never mentioned anything about what happened before. But not saying anything didn’t necessarily mean he didn’t care.

“Do you mean the person we met after school? I don’t know him.”

Xiao Yan’s tense shoulders relaxed a little. Then, he said, “He is indeed someone you don’t need to know.”

“He said he knows you very well, and you have known each other for more than ten years.”

“The elders of both families are indeed good, but I don’t interact with him much.” Xiao Yan said to her with his head tilted, as if to explain.

In fact, not only did they not interact much, but even if they did interact, they were not very friendly.
