Chapter 14: A dilemma
After that day, Wu Yao ignored me for a long time, but he didn't do such a hard-core behavior as "running away from home" or "moving out to live". Every day, although they still go out and come back as usual, they ignore me as much as the air.
As for me, I don't want to see his stinky face every day, but I can't pull my face to explain to him, so I can only continue to stalemate like this and keep such a silent day.
Injured muscles and bones for a hundred days, although chrysanthemums do not have bones to rest for a long time, but after being injured, they still have to recuperate for a while. And during this period of cultivation, I didn't know how to face Zhao Lei, how to tell him the fact that I was angry that day.
Since he was "together" with me, he seemed to be a different person, he was happy every day, he kept a bright smile on his face when he saw anyone, and he walked like a spring breeze, as if he could become an immortal at any time.
In order to avoid this incident from ending too badly, I also warned him not to tell anyone about this matter, and he was obedient and readily agreed without asking why. And he has only one reason for this: "The happiness of love is enough to share with you alone!" β
Some things are like dishes on the table, and the longer they go, the stronger the flavor becomes, until they attract flies and bugs. Things between me and Zhao Lei are just like this dish...
He doesn't say it, but that doesn't mean no one will know. Every time a customer picks up something in the store for a long time, he will walk around me when he is idle and bored, not saying anything, but as if he has a stomach to say. After a long time, the people who came also saw the cattiness.
"Hey, do you think they all know about us? Why do they look at you differently now? After sending off another "weird-eyed" guest, I finally couldn't help but open my mouth.
Zhao Lei was looking for the "large rainbow lollipop" that the previous guest asked for in the warehouse, so he didn't hear my question clearly, "What?" When I repeated it again, he walked out with the lollipop as well.
"Do you think people don't have eyes? I'm so good to you that others can't see it? He bumped me lightly on the shoulder, and his eyes squeezed teasingly.
His words hit the nail on the head, maybe it's really because he's been so nice to me. I'm used to being protected and cared for by others, it's like boiling a frog in warm water, and I don't feel that heat after a long time.
"I'll go!" I cried out, "So are they going to despise you or target you or something?" What if someone beats you like they did when they beat Wu Yao? "The thought of that bloody scene made me break out in a cold sweat.
But Zhao Lei was calm, his face couldn't help but feel frightened, but the corners of his mouth raised a happy smile, "Rui Rui, are you caring about me?" As he spoke, he leaned his head closer.
When Wu Yao, Ouyang Ze, Li Man and even Xu Shaohui called me "Rui Rui", I didn't feel unnatural, and when Zhao Lei, a man 6 years younger than me, called me such a affectionate title, the roots of my ears felt like I was stabbed by needles.
"Uh... Can you not call me 'Rui Rui', I'm still a little unused to it. I moved my buttocks slightly, although it was only a slight movement, but the chrysanthemum was a pain in my heart, and the pain made me more sober, and I was more determined to make it clear to him.
There was a flash of unhappiness on his face, but it was only for a few tenths of a second, and then it was still a smile. "Okay, then I'll call you brother in the future!"
"Well, it's okay to call anything." I just replied casually, and continued to play games with my phone down.
The noon heat was fading little by little, and after half an hour, the sun was no longer as dazzling as before. And Zhao Lei also took out his satchel from under the counter at this time and prepared to go to a professional class.
"Brother, I'm going to class." When he got to the door, he didn't forget to turn his head to remind me again. And I have been playing the APP for more than an hour, shopping Taobao all morning, and I am already lying on the table to rest physically and mentally exhausted, so how can I care about him going to class.
"Oh, go aheadβ" I didn't look up, just waved my hand, then pulled my hand back and pressed it under my forehead.
Not long after the time passed, when I thought Zhao Lei had left, he floated back to me like a ghost. "Brother, give me a kiss." The milky voice he said in this sentence is no different from a little kid looking for candy from his mother.
Originally, the sleepy insect wanted to pull me to sleep, but his words brought me back alive. "Uh... Can you please stop disgusting meβ" I reached out to push him, but he pressed him to his chest.
"It's just a kiss, it's been so many days, and you haven't kissed me since the last time we were XXOO." His tone was a little frustrated, and when I opened my eyes and turned my head to look at him, he was staring at me with begging eyes.
Being able to talk to him has broken my limits, and now he wants me to kiss him... When I think of that scene, I feel like I am teasing a child, and at the moment of kissing, what I feel is not the moist warmth, but the unique creamy smell of the child...
"Oh, let's talk about it another day, I'm tired, let me go back to the party." How could Zhao Lei let me go so easily? He simply threw his bag on the table and grabbed me with both hands, "No! Just today, if you don't kiss me, I won't leave. β
Looking at his appearance, he is still really going to fight with me, and if he fights with him, I really can't sleep during this rare nap. "Okay then." There was no choice but to relent, and I agreed to him.
"Whew!" I rubbed my eyes and stared at his lips earnestly. The two pieces of fine meat are also moist when they look at it, and the faint red color is also quite tempting, but it's a pity that his age... It's a hard wound...
After staring at him for a long time, I couldn't even kiss him, and both hands holding his face trembled a little, "You should kiss me, I can't take the initiative..."
He didn't force it, he didn't say anything, but the silence was his silent protest, and the tangled expression made me feel uncomfortable. "Forget it, let's talk about it later." This time, his smile was no longer natural, but even more forced. He picked up his bag from the table and walked out of the store...
I was the only one left in the shop, quiet and relaxed, but this time I was not sleepy. The thought of his reluctant smile makes me feel as sick as swallowing a fly...
In the past few days, almost all the students in the school are preparing for the final exams, so when Zhao Lei goes to class, I don't feel too tired. When I sat in the store, I saw that the people passing by the door were holding this kind of reference material in their hands, and I felt a little melancholy.
The afternoon passed in a blink of an eye, and I was always thinking about how to explain it to Zhao Lei. In order not to make him sad, I decided to tell him again in a few days, and when his novelty passed, he might not be too sad.
In the evening, Zhao Lei did not come to the store, seeing that the hands on the dial had turned to "7", I also wanted to close the door and go home quickly.
As soon as I turned off the computer, Huzi ran over panting. "Chen... Brother Chen..."He bent over and panted vigorously with his hands on his knees, and his words were indistinct.
"Slow down, slow down." I poured him a glass of water, "Let's take a sip first." The beads of sweat on his forehead could already run down his cheeks as a small river, and the sweat on his body also wet his clothes.
He took the glass and swallowed it into his stomach in one gulp, and his dry lips moistened a lot. Slowly, his breath was no longer as rapid as just now, and his face was no longer red, and he spoke fluently. "Zhao Lei, something happened to him."
The news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and a thunderclap made my hairs stand on end. "What's wrong? What's wrong? I asked in a panic as I grabbed Huzi's hand.
"He fell in the classroom, hit his head on a chair, and was bleeding all the time, and he couldn't stop it." Huzi waved his hand and explained to me.
"Did you call 120?" As I was talking, I also took out my mobile phone and was about to call, but he stopped me, "I've already called, you can go see him first, I don't know if it's stupid or what's wrong, I've been calling your name." β
It was like I had been given a shot of cardiotonic power, and my heart was beating so fast that I couldn't breathe. I rushed out of the store and ran in the direction of the school building. Although I haven't been to Zhao Lei's classroom, I've heard him say that he is in that direction. When I saw that his classroom was still lit in cold white among the many floors, I was even more sure of his location.
Along the way, I was thinking about him lying on the ground, covered in blood, and his brows unconsciously wrinkled. Although I had already figured out an excuse to separate from him, I didn't want him to get hurt, after all... After all, I like him too...
Stepping up the stairs one by one, the closer I got to his class, the more nervous I felt. The tiger who followed me next now has no strength, and the speed of going upstairs has slowed down.
"Xiao Lei!" When I walked to the door of their class, I pushed the door open vigorously, and in that huge classroom, there was no bloody scene as I imagined, and Zhao Lei was not as delirious as Huzi said.
"Brother, you're here." Zhao Lei stood in the middle of the classroom, also holding a bouquet of perfume lilies in his hand, and he looked very happy to see my arrival. "Are you alright? It's not that ...", I suddenly realized it was a lie.
"Die!" I stepped forward and kicked Zhao Lei's thigh, because of the severe pain, Zhao Lei also bent down to cover the place where I was kicked, but the bouquet of flowers never let go.
When I turned around and was about to leave, Zhao Lei also chased after me in three or two steps, let go of the flower in his hand and hugged me, "I just want to surprise you, I don't want you to be angry." β
"Is there such a surprise? Do you know that this brings only surprise, not joy! β
Zhao Lei's fingers were still gently stroking the back of my hand, "I just want to see if you really have me in your heart... Right now... I see..."
As he spoke, he kissed me gently on the earlobe...
And when I heard his words, I was also shocked to the point that my limbs stiffened and I couldn't speak...
