CHAPTER XXII
After the short family leave, Zhang Chengyuan's life was full of gray.
The good news is that he didn't lose Ruan Xiyue. Explain positively, and misunderstandings will be eliminated quickly.
But he always felt like he had lost something.
It's Shioduki herself, who has lost her color.
A sunny little fairy, faded from the color of joy and became black and white.
Every time the two of them made an appointment to walk on the playground at half past seven in the evening, Xiyue began to be late frequently.
Zhang Chengyuan was sad in his heart, he was a little skeptical that Xiyue would change his mind, and whether he would also secretly make an appointment with Leng Changhe.
"What have you been up to lately?" Zhang Chengyuan asked cautiously while walking.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I've been a little tired lately. Ruan Xiyue replied apologetically.
A moment of silence followed.
The two walked in silence on the playground.
Sometimes, Xiyue was in a bad mood and collapsed in Zhang Chengyuan's arms crying, but she didn't say a word.
Occasionally, Zhang Chengyuan would kiss Ruan Xiyue's cold cheek, but Ruan Xiyue was thoughtful and never responded.
The death of her father must have been a big blow to Ruan Xiyue.
Zhang Chengyuan warned himself that he must take care of Ruan Xiyue carefully and let her get better soon.
However, a month passed, and instead of getting better, the two of them talked less and less during their walks.
"Xiyue, can I talk to you?" Once, Zhang Chengyuan could not bear the cold scene of the two walking on the playground and broke the silence.
"Yes."
"Xiyue, I feel so sad to see you like this. What can I do for you? I want to make you a little happier! Zhang Chengyuan said very sincerely.
Ruan Xiyue turned her head and looked at Zhang Chengyuan with very complicated eyes, looking at it, Xiyue's tears poured out, she threw herself into Zhang Chengyuan's arms and said, "Cheng Yuan, you don't have to be so good to me!" ”
"Shioyue!" Zhang Chengyuan felt sorry for the girl in his arms, "Looking at you uncomfortable, I really feel heartbroken!" I want to spend more time with you! Every afternoon, I look for you everywhere and can't find you, I know you must want to be alone, but at least let me know where you are, I am very worried when I see that you can't be found on campus. ”
Ruan Xiyue stopped sobbing, she raised her head, stared at Zhang Chengyuan seriously and said, "Cheng Yuan, I'm sorry, I can't tell you." You, will you be angry? ”
Cheng Yuan shook his head: "No, of course not." ”
Cheng Yuan won't be angry, but he really doesn't feel comfortable in his heart. Ruan Xiyue began to keep it a secret from him. He felt that the relationship between the two was rusty.
"Do you think I'm weird?" Ruan Xiyue asked worriedly.
"No, I just hope to help you and help you slowly heal the pain in your heart. I want to do something for you, anything! Zhang Chengyuan said.
"Cheng Yuan, if you like me, please believe me. Don't worry about me, don't ask me what I don't want to say, okay? Xiyue said lightly.
"Good ......," Zhang Chengyuan said, feeling more and more cold. But he knew that Ruan Xiyue was too stimulated, and he understood her.
"I'm so tired today, I want to go back to the dormitory to rest......" Ruan Xiyue said this, turned around and walked towards the dormitory.
Zhang Chengyuan looked at Ruan Xiyue's departing back and stood dumbfounded.
I feel that Xiyue is becoming more and more polite to herself, is the heart of the two really far away?
"What do you want?" A voice came from behind.
Chen Jiatong was wearing a first-class sportswear, and caught up with Zhang Chengyuan from behind.
"You're running again?" Zhang Chengyuan asked expressionlessly.
"I've been running five laps, and I've passed by you two several times, so why are you alone now?"
Two people walk side by side on the playground.
"She was in a bad mood and went back first."
"Feeling rusty?" Chen Jiatong spoke straightforwardly.
"Well...... Ay! Zhang Chengyuan sighed.
"You're just in love for the first time, why are you so deep, sighing this and sighing that. If you like it, you can coax it, and if you don't like it, you will disperse, what a big deal! Chen Jiatong said cool words on the side.
Zhang Chengyuan looked up at the starry sky and said with emotion: "Hey, you haven't been in love, you don't understand!" ”
"How fresh it is to fall in love! I've never seen you so melancholy, and you still look up at the starry sky, pretending to be emotional. ”
"Who's depressed?" Zhang Chengyuan retorted, "Don't you notice that the air here is very fresh, can you see a whole starry sky here?" ”
Chen Jiatong looked up and said disdainfully: "What's this, when I'm at home, I can also see a whole starry sky." ”
"Are you at home? How could it be. The haze in Luqi City is so heavy, where does it come from such a clear night sky. Zhang Chengyuan didn't believe it at all.
"......" Chen Jiatong no longer looked at the starry sky, but just walked forward in a wooden manner.
"And say I'm deep, aren't you the same?" Zhang Chengyuan sighed.
"I'm different from you." Chen Jiatong lowered his head, his mood was low for a moment, and then he smiled again and said, "Don't be depressed!" If you encounter difficulties in love, face them positively! How can happiness be so easy, you have to fight for it yourself and take care of it carefully. Chen Jiatong's sentence is quite sincere.
"Hehe, I will also say these big truths. But it's different when you actually encounter it. She and I are not like this because of our own reasons, we definitely like each other, so the problem of love doesn't come from here, hey, you won't understand this feeling. ”
"How do you know I don't understand? You don't know my life. Chen Jiatong was tired of walking, so he simply sat down on the playground.
Zhang Chengyuan sat beside her, turned his head and looked at her quietly, as if he was looking at someone he had never seen before.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Chen Jiatong raised his head and began to look at the starry sky, and said slowly.
"If you didn't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?" Zhang Chengyuan habitually began to be poor.
"The person's vision is spherical, and I swept it away, thank you!" Chen Jiatong continued to look at the sky and accentuated his tone.
"I'm just curious, I said that we went to Enlightenment Middle School together for three years, why didn't I have any impression of you before?" Zhang Chengyuan stared at Chen Jiatong with scrutinizing eyes and said.
"Cut~ There are more than 300 people in the school, how many do you know in total?" Chen Jiatong seemed to be counting the stars, and said: "It's okay, sister, I haven't heard of your name before, you don't have to be ashamed, let's settle it." ”
"Chen Jiatong, don't make trouble. I'm actually curious and don't know how to ask. Zhang Chengyuan was still staring at her.
"You say!" Chen Jiatong turned his head and looked directly into his gaze.
"It's not just me, Leng Changhe, and other people...... In short, except for Situ Shan, I feel that everyone didn't know that there was such a person as you before. And when the SID test is grouped, we form teams on an improvised basis. Leng Changhe and Ruan Xiyue and I were abandoned by a group of partners...... As for Situ Shan, her family conditions are special, so she is usually more stubborn and alone. And Wei Hengyi also has no friends because of the shadow of his childhood......"
"What do you want to ask, don't go around in a big circle, okay?" Chen Jiatong was a little impatient.
"But what about you? Why are you in a group with us? You're not in our class, don't you have any friends in your previous class? In fact, we have always been very curious, Situ Shan knew her story when we went to her house, and that night, Wei Hengyi also told his story, and you, you have never told us about you, you have always been listening to us, and when it is your turn, you will do it. Sometimes I feel that you are so mysterious, I don't know your past, I don't know your circle of friends, and it feels like you just popped out of thin air. ”
Chen Jiatong listened, and there were several changes in his eyes: "Either my comprehension ability is too poor, or if your expression ability is too bad, I haven't understood what you are asking." ”
"Okay!" Zhang Chengyuan raised his voice, "Miss Chen Jiatong, my mood is very low, can you please tell me your story and relieve my boredom~ First, you are right, I really don't know you; Second, count it now, you have helped me, I really treat you as a friend. ”
"I'm not as good at telling stories as you are." Chen Jiatong lowered his head and swayed his head from side to side rhythmically, "There's nothing to talk about." ”
"Then I can ask you, right?" Zhang Chengyuan was unrelenting.
"What do you want to ask?" Chen Jiatong turned his head and asked.
"For example~ what do your parents do?" Zhang Chengyuan asked the first question.
A melancholy expression flashed in Chen Jiatong's eyes, "My mother ...... and is also a university teacher. ”
Zhang Chengyuan was looking at Chen Jiatong's eyes.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it." Chen Jiatong turned his head.
"It's not that I don't believe you...... But if you're the child of a university teacher, you should live in our community. Zhang Chengyuan could see that Chen Jiatong was angry and said carefully.
"What you think is not necessarily right. Before you came to the Sailing School, did you believe that there would be such a tall tree in the city? Before Wei Hengyi told you, did you know what the medicine you take every day does? Chen Jiatong turned his head again and questioned Zhang Chengyuan.
Zhang Chengyuan continued to look at Chen Jiatong's eyes, in addition to sadness and dissatisfaction, there seemed to be a trace of longing in her eyes, a desire to be trusted.
"I believe in you." Zhang Chengyuan looked into her eyes and said, "What about your father?" ”
"I don't have a dad." In addition to sadness, Chen Jiatong's eyes are still sad.
