Chapter 37: Cold Eyebrows and Cold Eyes
The next day, Cheng Siyu went to Xinhua Bookstore to wander around, there was no clear goal of purchasing, she just turned around and around, her eyes wandered in one bookhelf after another, she liked to feel the atmosphere in the bookstore, enjoyed immersion in the breath of books, and was sure that there was Yan Ruyu in the book.
Coincidentally, when she inadvertently leaned against the bookshelf and glanced not far away, she recognized a familiar face, that mature and calm face with a little demeanor, Du Yifan! I didn't expect him to go to a place like a bookstore, although he looked more mature than Shen Lingfeng, but he was Shen Lingfeng's best friend, as the saying goes, "like gathers like things", unruly and domineering people should never bury their heads in hard reading, and it is really difficult for her to associate the word bookstore with them.
Cheng Siyu followed behind him, intentionally or unintentionally, in small steps, and finally saw him open a copy of "Carnegie's Way of Business" , nodded with satisfaction and took it away in the direction of the counter to prepare to pay, just as he turned and left, she saw his afterglow lightly projected in her direction for a few seconds before retracting and continuing to move forward, but the indescribable connotation of that look, as if he was looking at an ordinary person who had never met and didn't know at all and was so strange that he couldn't be stranger anymore, indifferently cold and biting, but they knew each other, and he obviously comforted her in a serious and reasonable way, could it be that she was wrong?
Du Yifan sat down on the dining table next to the bookshelf after payment, this is a bookstore where books and afternoon tea are mixed, guests can read books while drinking drinks and eating cakes, the decoration is fresh and green, it is an elegant and simple light luxury European style, so that all readers who are immersed in hard reading or leisurely appreciating the text can be pleasant.
Cheng Siyu took the paid books and walked to Du Yifan's table, Du Yifan suddenly felt that there was a figure blocking the view in front of him, he slowly looked up, a little surprised, but soon he regained his peaceful face, and he naturally and politely said polite words; β
"Yes, I never imagined that I would bump into you when I came to the bookstore to buy books, nor would I have imagined that you would also come to the bookstore as a small and fresh student place. Cheng Siyu grinned and said stupidly.
"Don't I look like a serious person who can read?" he said.
"No, I don't mean that, I mean you all look very masculine, very lively, everyone likes to joke, it should be like the way Jackie Chan and his brothers get along and communicate, then naturally you will feel that the bookstore is boring, or you will prefer to buy on Taobao, convenient and fast... Ahh Cheng Siyu didn't dare to say too much, for fear that explaining too much would give people a feeling of wanting to cover up, so she closed her mouth when she wanted to speak.
"Sometimes, a lot of things don't just be judged by the sixth sense and a few meetings, I have a relationship with my friends, it doesn't mean that my temperament is similar to theirs, it only shows that I have the advantages of attracting each other, of course we have something in common, but it is not the same. Du Yifan said these words calmly, there was no change in expression on his face, and he lowered his head while turning the page, so that people could not see joy and anger.
"But, at least I can feel that you are a good person, you are sincere and righteous to your friends, and you are also very good to your relatives. Cheng Siyu said categorically.
"You are too naΓ―ve, you only look at the surface of everything, and you will show all your hole cards in two clicks, if I just pretend to be personable and open-minded in front of you for some purpose, or I am a hypocrite who is not bent on the city, can you still use your sixth sense to feel it?" Du Yifan's rational explanation made her at a loss, and she was speechless for a while.
But Cheng Siyu is still a little weak-hearted, maybe her sensitivity has attacked, and she always thinks about whether she said the wrong thing, whether she hurt the self-esteem of others because of her unintentional mistakes, but maybe she just thinks too much, he is just a rational and mature person, he is just analyzing rationally, and he is not deliberately targeting anyone, this is just a trivial matter after all.
She explained: "I don't think I've seen enough of what you said, but I'm not malicious, I'm just saying it casually, and I definitely don't mean to look down on or belittle it." β
"It's okay, I didn't think so, I just made my own point. He said.
Cheng Siyu sat at the same table with him, and suddenly the two of them didn't say a word, the atmosphere was slightly embarrassing, she didn't understand that this was obviously a matter of sesame mung beans, men should not be competitive, and she didn't understand why his attitude today was like a changed person, speaking with thorns and finding faults, and obviously in her impression, he was a mature and generous friend worth making. She hurriedly opened the book and pretended to be immersed in reading, trying not to look too unnatural.
"Wait, is Ling Feng picking you up, you should be with him at dinner time." Then why don't you hurry up?" or Du Yifan broke the silence first.
"No, I quarreled with him again. Shen Siyu thought to herself, is this a tactful eviction order?
"Quarrel again, wasn't it okay some time ago?"
"I don't know why, but it's hard to say, maybe we do have a lot of differences. She shook her head helplessly and said.
"So you want to come to me to find comfort?" Du Yifan asked?
"You... I... That's not what I meant at all. Cheng Siyu was surprised, pursed his mouth, frowned slightly, and his voice trembled slightly because of anger: "I originally thought that you really wanted to teach me the truth, and even regarded me as a friend, but I didn't know that you were the one in front of you, and the other changed your face, it turned out that you always thought I was bored, but now I know, I will definitely not bother you in the future, and I will automatically walk far away when I see you, and keep a distance of no less than 100 meters from you." β
Du Yifan was silent.
After a minute, he suddenly stood up, his expression was indifferent, and his face showed the calmness and rationality that adults are accustomed to, he turned his head to look at Cheng Siyu and said, "Originally, friends should not have too much interaction with their girlfriends. With that, he walked away in full step and walked out of the door of the bookstore with his books.
Only Cheng Siyu was left sitting on the stool alone, she looked blankly at the readers in front of her, she was puzzled, what the hell was going on, it was obvious that he treated her like a friend and took the initiative to comfort her, why did she seem to blame her for not rejecting his kindness today, cold eyebrows, modern people's moods and opinions can change as they say, and they are moody and difficult to adapt, but all this is as he said, all friendliness and sincerity are just an illusion of survival and socialization in society.
After a while, she had already left Jingya Bookstore, it was half past six in the evening, for some reason, it was inexplicably dark today, and it suddenly began to drizzle, and the raindrops chattered and fell endlessly, kissing her cheek mischievously with the rhythm of the wind.
Siyu was born in the evening when the west wind and the sun were accompanied by a slight rain, which was a poetic season and time, because Zhao Yuhan liked rain, naturally, Siyu was called Siyu. Siyu, Siyu, this name is thought of by Zhao Yuhan, she said that she likes the slanting wind and drizzle the most, when she was young, she often held her face against the desk, opened the window, and quietly looked at the life outside the window in a daze, strange and strange, when it happened to rain, she would also listen to the sound of the rain falling, and put her hand out of the window to capture the traces of the rain.
The drizzle still kept falling, the rain was not big, it was not small, Cheng Siyu stood alone under the eaves of the store to avoid the rain, waiting for the rain god to leave. The rain slapped her back slightly, accidentally soaking her back, and then she felt the cool rain on her back, and touched the clothes on her back, and found that it was really wet, so she couldn't bear to murmur and complained: Hell today. She braved the rain to walk to the side of the road to stop the car, for a while, the road was full of traffic, but today there are surprisingly few taxis, and finally ran into one, and the car was full of red cards. She waited a little discouragedly, her eyes glancing at the traffic on the road. Just as she turned back and walked back to the eaves of the shop, she saw a familiar black Mercedes slowly drive away at the turn of the lane, the occupants of the car smoking leisurely cigarettes, their faces exuding the same calm as ever. I saw that the man in the car suddenly looked in the direction of Siyu, his eyes and Siyu's eyes looked at each other, after looking at each other for three seconds, the man's eyes were a little hesitant, a little hesitant, and a little worried, just when the wiper brush in the car was swinging and the engine was buzzing, he regained that calm face, he pretended not to see Siyu at all, suddenly withdrew his eyes, stepped on the brakes deeply, and the car roared loudly "Buzz" Ruthlessly sped away, so fast that it could be described as drifting, and it did not leave a lingering shadow of the car, and by the time she came back to her senses, the car had already disappeared into the road, and disappeared from her sight.
Cheng Siyu was stunned and felt lost, she muttered to herself: "What's going on, did I do something wrong? β
When the fog and rain cleared, she embarked on the road home, she reflected on herself as she walked, whether she looked at the problem too one-sidedly, only insisted on her own opinions but forgot to think from the perspective of others, sometimes even took it out of context, sinking a boat of people with a rod, there is no doubt that she does attach too much importance to feelings, do things as she likes, although she doesn't know why Du Yifan is so abnormal today, but she thinks deeply, because she doesn't know how to communicate, and she won't help people put herself in their shoes, so she will quarrel with Shen Lingfeng many times, maybe this quarrel is indeed her making a fuss, it's all in the past, why does she still bite itWhy use the past to destroy the existing hard-won happiness?
It's just that when she got home, she didn't know that Du Yifan, who stepped on the brakes and drove away from the car, turned back along the road, he drove the car in a hurry, and when he drove back to the same place, he stopped on the road next to the place where Cheng Siyu was standing to avoid the rain, he rolled down the window in distraught, and poked his head out of the window expectantly, but he couldn't catch Cheng Siyu's thin figure.
