Chapter 251: The Right Time
My heart softened, and I said in a hoarse voice: "Well, I'm fine, don't worry." ”
His hand on my shoulder paused, and the next second he held my shoulder tighter.
I let him lead me into a break room and obediently let him help me sit down on the couch. After settling all this, he took off the coat that covered my head.
Yan Yu and Jiang Wei hurriedly went to buy water and candy, while Wang Jiayi stood aside and didn't say a word.
I kept my head down, my hands tightly gripping the couch slits, and my eyes glued to the pair of black and white-rimmed sneakers in front of me.
Xu Siyang's voice sounded gentle and pleasant, like coaxing a picky eater to eat spinach she didn't like, patient and gentle: "If it's really okay, just look up at me, in this case, I can promise you a request." ”
I thought it was funny, and my eyes slowly moved up his shoes to his clear eyes.
I looked at his eyes, clear and clear but with a thin bloodshot, soft and clear but full of worry and nervousness, and when I met my eyes, I was obviously relieved and glad, my heart seemed to be stabbed.
I whispered in a hoarse voice, "Where did you come from?" I didn't even see you. ”
He was stunned for a moment, and then he chuckled, with nonchalance and casualness: "It's not far from you, I can see you when I raise my eyes." ”
I groaned, and I couldn't stop feeling guilty - he wasn't in a good mood in the first place, and now he had to worry about me, which really wasn't what a friend should do.
He didn't notice that something was wrong with me, he looked at me with a smile, and his tone was much more relaxed and cheerful: "Say, whatever you want me to do, I will satisfy you." ”
I looked at him, my heart was sore and I didn't like words, and finally smiled helplessly: "I'm fine, you don't need to coax me with children's tricks." ”
He looked at me like this, his expression visibly relaxed, and finally smiled slowly.
Wang Jiayi also looked at me nervously and uneasily, muttering, and only when he was sure that I was okay did he come back to his senses and say thank you to Xu Siyang: "This classmate, thanks to you just now, thank you." ”
Xu Siyang looked at him slowly: "You're welcome, she's my friend, she should be." ”
And Wang Jiayi, when facing Xu Siyang's face, was obviously stunned.
He seemed to be in disbelief, looked at Xu Siyang with a look of "shock and unexpectedness", and then looked at me with verifying eyes, and asked softly: "You guys, do you know?" ”
I glanced at Xu Siyang, and then thought of what Wang Jiayi had just told me, and instantly understood his embarrassment and unnaturalness.
As soon as he finished talking about Xu Siyang's gossip, he bumped into the deity in the next second, this deity is still friends with me, and anyone will feel gossip.
I looked at him and didn't pierce his careful thoughts, just nodded lightly and briefly introduced the other party to each other: "This is Xu Siyang, this is Wang Jiayi, my good friend from high school." ”
The two simply bowed their heads to indicate that they knew each other. Then Wang Jiayi stood next to me cautiously, staring at me with an apologetic look in his eyes: "It's me who didn't take a good look at you, I'm sorry." ”
I shook my head and smiled weakly: "My own problem, how can it be your fault?" I will be even more upset if you blame yourself like this. ”
Wang Jiayi pursed her lips, her face was ugly, but she didn't speak again.
Xu Siyang, on the other hand, pulled a face, handed me a pack of tissues, and didn't say a word.
I gave him a warm and soft smile and slowly took it, "Thank you, Si Yang." ”
He looked at me without saying a word, and the emotions in his eyes were so complicated that an intuition arose in my heart.
It seems that I have never really understood him or read him.
I gathered my attention, slowly pulled out a piece of paper, slowly wiped the cold sweat between the tip of my nose and forehead, and inadvertently raised my eyes, and saw Xu Siyang's emotional eyes again.
In that look, there is tenderness, pity, sadness, unbearableness, and even self-blame.
Sensing my gaze, his eyes immediately returned to calm, like a deep pool, and instantly returned to the calm of the surface of the waves, covering up the waves below the horizontal surface.
He smiled at me,
I smiled reluctantly, wiping a cold sweat to myself.
Just as we were silent, Yan Yu and Jiang Wei returned. Behind me was Jiang Yueze, who I was looking forward to seeing and afraid to see.
The moment I saw him, the tense nerves in my entire back instantly relaxed.
Xu Siyang glanced at me, then at Jiang Yueze, who pushed the door in, slowly stood up, and stepped aside.
Jiang Wei shouted as soon as he entered the door, and the atmosphere was instantly much happier: "Whale, the water has been bought, the candy has also been bought, and Senior Brother Jiang has also been abducted!" ”
Yan Yu also ran to me excitedly, threw me a flattering look, and whispered to me: "Senior Brother Jiang is here, are you happy?" Jiang Weibing and I went two ways, she went to buy water, and I went to the monitoring room to kidnap Senior Brother Jiang back, do you know you very well? ”
I watched Jiang Yueze walk towards me as if no one was around, his steps were large and a little messy, completely different from his usual unhurriedness, and the anxiety and self-blame in his eyes, although not obvious, were still visible to me at a glance.
He slowly squatted down, looked into my eyes, and gently stroked my sideburns, his tone was low and soft, but wrapped in distress and panic: "What's uncomfortable?" ”
I shook my head and replied to him with a light smile: "I was a little tighter in my chest in the gym, but now it's much better, don't worry." ”
He lowered his eyes, took my cold hand, and frowned slightly: "Why are your hands so cold?" ”
I didn't speak, I just kept my head down, and the room was silent.
Wang Jiayi immediately coughed, breaking the dullness at the moment: "Jiang Yueze, my fault is that I didn't take a good look at Jinyu." ”
I looked up at him and snorted softly, a little dissatisfied: "It's okay to say that it has nothing to do with you, why did you start self-examination again?" ”
Wang Jiayi didn't say anything, with a look of self-blame and embarrassment. absolutely
Jiang Yueze hummed, gently wiped the beads of sweat from the corner of my forehead, and said to me: "Don't blame anyone, it's my fault." ”
The room was silent in an instant, as if it was freezing in layers.
Jiang Weihe Yanyu's faces were shocked, Xu Siyang also raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and Wang Jiayi's eyes were about to pop out, and I looked like my hair was about to stand up.
I was also very surprised, I couldn't make a sound for a long time, and I failed to manage my expression many times, so I just opened my mouth and was stunned: "You ......"
He looked up at me, there was a sea of stars hidden in his eyes, but a rare touch of frustration and fragility appeared, and the tails of his eyes were no longer the grace and calmness of the past, but a little scarlet.
"I shouldn't have left you alone, it's my fault."
The moment I heard this, the tip of my nose was sour and astringent, and I almost burst into tears.
I tried to suppress the urge to cry and forced a smile that didn't matter: "It's okay, you don't have to blame yourself, it's my own problem." ”
He didn't say anything more, just held my hand a little tighter.
Xu felt that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, and Yan Yu hurriedly spoke: "I bought a lot of sugar, which one do you want to eat?" Shall I give it to you? ”
I was about to open my mouth to answer, when Jiang Yueze broke my palm and put a toffee candy.
I blinked, looked at the expression of the sneer, and couldn't help but smile: "I'm really fine, I don't need to be so serious." ”
Everyone was silent, but Jiang Yueze slowly helped me peel off the candy wrapper and throw the candy into my mouth.
I let the milky sweetness melt in my mouth and squint in satisfaction.
"Big night?" At this time, Lu Zhixin, who finished the game, ran in anxiously, followed by Gu Jiatong and Ren Zijin who looked nervous, as well as Yan Ting, who was faintly worried, and finally Yu Wanzhou.
I watched the small lounge instantly crowded, biting the candy and sneering: "Hehe, everyone is here, my face is too big, right?" ”
"Less poverty!" Lu Zhixin glared at me, her face was stinky, and her tone was not very polite: "If you scare me so much in the future, I will whip you!" ”
I smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, got it, did you win the game?" ”
Her expression was instantly very strange, and she replied awkwardly: "Well, I can handle it." ”
I smiled casually, "I knew you could." ”
She didn't say anything more, and there was silence in the room again.
Gu Jiatong picked up the topic at this time: "Since it's okay to be late, then let's disperse, just let Jiang Yueze look at Jinyu." A large group of people are crowded here, and the players will come to rest for a while, and it doesn't look good. ”
Yan Yu immediately responded: "Yes, yes, this beauty is very right, let's withdraw in a hurry, and let Jinyu and Senior Brother Jiang stay for a while." ”
Yan Ting and Jiang Wei nodded, Wang Jiayi also agreed, Lu Zhixin and Ren Zijin did not speak, and Yu Wanzhou took the lead in following Gu Jiatong out.
Then everyone went out one after another, but Xu Siyang glanced at me lightly, still uneasy.
I smiled at him, and he picked up his steps and walked out.
I looked at his back, and somehow, the urge to stop him, to say something to him, rose in my heart.
I thought so, and I did. I shouted to him, and he stopped, but didn't turn around.
I didn't know what to say, so I opened my mouth and thought about it, and finally just said a thank you that was neither light nor heavy, and that was not painful.
He looked sideways slightly, and could only vaguely see his lips moving: "As a friend, it should be." ”
Somehow in my heart, hearing his answer, I couldn't help but feel a trace of loss, and I couldn't hide it.
Looking at his disappearing back, I only felt uncomfortable in my heart.
Strange, I'm wondering, what's wrong with me? How did this sentiment come from?
When I looked up again and met Jiang Yueze's eyes, this feeling slowly disappeared, and was replaced by a kind of guilt and distress.
Because Jiang Yueze at this time, although he still looks like a cloudy breeze, the uneasiness and panic, self-blame and guilt in his eyes are still all in my eyes.
The guilt in my heart was even worse, and I slowly lowered my head, and my mood went down to the bottom: "Actually, I'm not, when I see taekwondo, it's like this." ”
"I'm like this for a reason."
He unconsciously stroked the skin on the back of my hand for a moment, and then continued: "I know. ”
His body temperature continued to pass into the palm of my hand, and his elegant and pleasant voice quietly encouraged me, making me slowly raise my head and meet his eyes like black jade.
His trusting eyes gave me great courage, and he told the words hidden in his heart: "It's because the attack of that player at PolyU is too similar to the way I beat people back then, that's why he is so out of control." ”
Jiang Yueze's pupils shrank slightly, and there was a subconscious shock in his eyes.
But my heart slowly relaxed.
Perhaps, this moment may be what I have been looking for, the so-called, the right time.
Because this is the first time I have taken the initiative to mention the events of that year.
It's not deliberate, but involuntarily and can't help it.
