Chapter 5: Crimson
May in the south is always rainy, like a delicate maiden who has taken off her spring coat. The clouds are like a group of busy people, one by one, gathered together.
There was only one class in the cram school today, and it was still early after class, so Su Yuezheng was discussing with Mu Yao and Li Qianqian to go ice skating at the nearby roller skating rink. When Chu Yixin heard this, she dared to come over and said that she wanted to go with them.
Su Yue and Li Qianqian often came to this roller skating rink before, so they are naturally familiar with this place.
The dark-toned hall is filled with LED lights, and colorful beams of light crisscross the hall to the noisy laughter of men and women. The stereo of the DJ booth on one side plays loudly the most popular songs of the moment.
This is a dating mecca for young people, and from time to time you can see two people holding hands, spinning and shuttling freely in the center of the venue, and from time to time you can also find couples silently embracing each other in the corner.
After Su Yue and the others rented their roller skates at the front desk, they sat side by side on the seats in the waiting area and put them on.
"Mu Yao, you can teach me in a while." Chu Yixin said while tying the laces of her roller skates.
Mu Yao didn't answer, he looked at Su Yue, who was sitting beside him. Su Yue was also lowering her head to tie her shoes, but the movements on her hands paused slightly.
"Just for a moment, okay?" Chu Yixin didn't give up, she moved to Mu Yao's side, wrapped her hands around Mu Yao's arms, and asked coquettishly.
She stared straight at Mu Yao with those bright and slightly charming eyes, her eyes full of anticipation. Mu Yao seemed a little overwhelmed, so he had to reluctantly agree.
Su Yue felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she felt that Chu Yixin had been taking the initiative to approach Mu Yao. Not only is he inseparable from Mu Yao in school on weekdays, but he always shushes Mu Yao from time to time in cram school.
Even if anyone can see the affection between Mu Yao and herself, she still continues to express her admiration for Mu Yao as if nothing happened.
As for Mu Yao, he seems to be so gentle and kind to everyone forever.
His warm and loving personality has always made him very popular, and he always helps those in need, and he does not care about praise and reward.
He always accepts the appreciation and care of others with a gentle and grateful heart.
Compared with his wooden character, he may like a coquettish and considerate girl like Chu Yixin more, right?
Su Yue felt a little sour in her heart, and the inferiority complex in her heart was spreading unconsciously.
Since the harassment incident a few years ago, Su Yue's personality has become more and more introverted, lacking self-confidence, and getting along with boys is even more cautious and passive.
Facing Mu Yao, Su Yue tried her best and willingly tried to open her heart, but it still seemed that there was an invisible force fighting with her in secret.
She watched Mu Yao holding Chu Yixin's hand from a distance, patiently teaching her little by little. Chu Yixin grabbed Mu Yao's arm tightly, and her red face was filled with a happy smile.
"How they resemble a sweet couple."
Su Yue felt as if her heart had fallen to the bottom. She shrugged her head listlessly and glided aimlessly through the arena alone. Despite the dazzling lights on his face, he also looked overshadowed.
She shuttled back and forth in the crowd, surpassing others from time to time, and constantly being surpassed by others.
All kinds of laughter and laughter flashed past her ears. But these fleeting beautiful moments do not belong to themselves.
So who really belongs to them? Maybe everyone came into this world alone, wanting to have something, but afraid of losing...
In the darkness, suddenly a hand grabbed him.
Su Yue raised her head and met Mu Yao's gentle gaze, her slightly worried gaze was kind and profound.
"How can you be alone?"
"Well, you're not teaching someone else." As soon as she said it, Su Yue regretted it. I wanted to pretend to be free and easy that I didn't care, but I didn't expect to blurt out because of the emotion just now.
"You... Is it jealous? ”
"No, no. How is that possible..."
"Don't deny it."
Su Yue only felt that the speed under her feet suddenly increased, and like a gust of wind, her entire body floated up like weightlessness.
When she came back to her senses, she found that she had been taken by Mu Yao in his arms.
Su Yue raised her head and met Mu Yao's scorching gaze. A brilliant flame ignited at the meeting of eyes.
"You... Like me? ”
Mu Yao lowered his head and looked at Su Yue gently, with a tenderness in his eyes that could not be hidden.
"I..." Su Yue's face flushed slightly.
"You know, I like you..."Mu Yao whispered in Su Yue's ear.
"Hmm... Know. Su Yue felt that her ears were getting hot.
"What about you? Do you like me? ”
"I..."
Su Yue felt as if something was in her throat at this moment, and she couldn't say anything about the sentence "I like you".
I obviously like Mu Yao very much, this is what I have already determined.
But this heart has always been buried in the deepest part of the heart, carefully protected. It seems that as long as you take it out, it will be easily uprooted, and with the inferiority complex wrapped in time, there is nowhere to hide for a moment.
