Chapter 1: Running Away from Him But Not from You (1)

Next Chapter

The first time Tide met the pale and cold boy was on Xia Chan's birthday.

It was the end of October, and it was her favorite autumn. This season always reminds her of Qiao Shen, who walks with wind and clear eyebrows, he used to say that he wanted to find a girl who liked autumn as much as he did, but she couldn't say it when her words came to her mouth, she wanted to say that I like autumn, I like it very much. The second half of the sentence was stuck in her throat and couldn't get out, but it was picked up by the girl with bright eyes and bright teeth in her clothes.

"I like autumn very much, but not as much as you like."

Qiao Shen smiled brightly, his eyebrows full of starlight.

"What a coincidence, I like you too."

So Tide's three-year crush quietly ended in this windless and rainless battle. She watched Xiao Ya's delicate and flamboyant face flickering in the brilliant lights of the box, strong and beautiful. Qiao Shen looked at her with a tenderness that the tide had never seen before. She suddenly remembered the "tearful eyes" that appeared in the top barrage area when she watched those tear-jerking videos at station B, and suddenly wondered why people could still free their hands to type when they were sad, thought about it for a while, and then began to feel relieved again. People do this, probably to better wipe away tears. But not like her, standing there like a fool and letting the blur of tears on the retina and dry viscously, and then dragging a long, ugly mark on his face.

When Xia Chan came over and patted her on the head, the half cup of milk tea in her hand had already cooled completely. She had been standing at the door of the bubble tea shop for half an hour, and the handsome waitress thought she was waiting for her boyfriend, and she was not embarrassed to push the customer aside from the position at the gate.

"What are you doing?" Xia Cicada breathed an unhappy breath.

"Didn't you say that after buying milk tea, you went to Wanda to gather at the door? I've been waiting for you for a long time and haven't seen a ghost, Xiao Ya has been muttering, I'm about to be annoyed by her. ”

The tide was finally interrupted by "Xiao Ya", and she withdrew her gaze from the unknown place and stayed on Xia Chan's face.

"Who told you to invite Qiao Shen to come, can he come without a girlfriend?"

She removed her teeth from the milk tea straw and walked down the steps. She didn't hear what Xia Chan said, she only saw Qiao Shen coming from the opposite side, unhurried and calm. She suddenly became disgusted with the face. This is a face that has appeared countless times in her dreams, but it is familiar, but now it is becoming more and more unfamiliar.

"What's wrong?"

Qiao Shen saw the tide's obviously gloomy face. He had never seen her like this before, and in his memory, this quiet girl who didn't talk too much was always calm and breezy, and the expression on her face was always tranquil and light, and most of the time people couldn't see through it.

Tidal feels tired when he speaks. She shook her head, her eyes over Qiao Shen's shoulders, and rested on the boy standing sideways not far behind him.

It's really pretty.

This is the tide as a woman's intuition. Ah no, as a girl. Although she has regarded herself as a complete woman for a long time, especially in the three years when she silently liked Qiao Shen, this perception became more and more intense. But ever since he had broken her beautiful and fragile first love, the feeling was really the same as her name, Tide, swept away by the capricious sea with the raging waves into an unknown distance.

The boy stood sideways in the dim and hidden light of the evening, angular and cold. Tidal pushed his glasses up to try to see more clearly, but ended up squinting. Qiao Shen was puzzled by where her gaze was, and looked along the source and caught the boy who was five meters away from him.

"I said what you look at, so fascinating. Do you know him?"

"I don't know."

Tide felt that every time his response was too cold, thinking about it like this, Qiao Shen felt a little pitiful. After all, he didn't know that she liked him, and pushed the results of his incompetence and cowardice on him, which made the tide a little embarrassed. However, she did not succumb to her empathy, three years of youth were not easy, and enough time was wasted on him.

Thinking like this, she walked past Qiao Shen, who looked puzzled, and deliberately didn't pay attention to his expression. On the contrary, she really wanted to see the young man standing behind him clearly, a mixture of hormones and girlish feelings strongly impacted her heart and vision, prompting her to get closer to him step by step.

Close, close.

"Where are you going?!"

It's always the summer cicada that is so incomprehensible. Her loud voice tide should have been used to it since elementary school, but she was still so frightened by the sudden sound that she almost exhaled. However, it was precisely because of this groundbreaking roar that the young man's gaze lifted from the mobile phone that slid in his hand and drifted to the route conveyed by the voice.

The tide suddenly met his gaze. She saw that his extremely beautiful eyes reflected her panicked expression.

That night the tide gloriously achieved insomnia for the first time in his life.

It looked like it was about five months, and at that time Qiao Shen and Xiao Ya's relationship was in a shaky period. The reason is because a boy named Jiang Qi quietly appeared in Xiao Ya's mobile phone address book. At first, Qiao Shen was unimpressed, he knew that a gorgeous and dazzling girl like Xiao Ya was indispensable to a group of fresh faces. It wasn't until I overheard Xiao Ya's sticky and glutinous frequent greetings on the other end of the phone many times that I proposed to be honest.

Both of them are popular characters on campus, and most of them have a wait-and-see attitude to watch the excitement, but few people know the owner of the unfamiliar name. He is like the soul of a bodyless wind, which walks in people's mouths, with mysterious or exciting colors, attracting people's attention. The tide still thinks about how good-looking and excellent a boy is, so that a person with a high eye like Xiao Ya will give up Qiao Shen, who is coveted by everyone, and run into his arms. When I thought about it later, I was much more relieved. Maybe she is tired of the cliché setting of the golden boy and girl, and wants to find the novelty of another life.

It was drizzling that day, and the lower abdomen was sore and unbearable, and the tide rolled out of bed and went out to buy medicine. The school's pharmacy is at the east gate, and she lives in the northwest, so she has to endure the pain of walking for 20 minutes every day because she is reluctant to buy a bicycle to travel.

trotted to the entrance of the Huayun Building of the Conservatory, and the pretty and lovely back tide standing at the side door could be recognized at a glance. It's just that there is an extra boy opposite Xiao Ya, with a long body. The two are very close and intimate. That was definitely not Qiao Shen, she had him in her mind day and night for the past three years, even though she was separated by dense rain curtains and dim light, she would not admit her mistake.

There's a car passing by with its headlights on. A faint ray of light shone through the dense rain curtain, illuminating the side door and the two of them. The tide swept over the boy's silhouette as he raised his eyes, and instantly overlapped with the vivid image in her mind that kept her awake lately. The light only stayed for a few seconds, but it felt like a world away at the tide. In the next second, the two of them quickly approached, and in the blurred tide, they saw the thin figure of the boy leaning forward slightly, dissolving with the delicate and graceful shadow of the girl, and gradually melting into a beautiful picture in the boundless fine darkness.

There was something sharp like a dense needle leaking down the atrium of the chest, and the pain in the lower abdomen was getting stronger and stronger, and the tide of torture was a little dizzy. She withdrew her gaze and continued on her way, trotting through the tips of her shoes and soaking up the tubes of her shoes and pantyhose, gradually getting wet.

It was the second time she had seen him since she had been at a loss last time, and she had officially learned her name. found that he escaped from Bai Yueguang, who was named Qiao Shen, but did not escape from this stranger named Jiang Qi.
