Chapter 16: I Like You
After the class bell rang, everyone returned to silence.
Sang Li rubbed her wrist that was scratched red, and she didn't know why Lu Hanchuan suddenly went crazy and caught her off guard.
She didn't think that Lu Hanchuan liked her, not so much because she liked her, but because she was unwilling.
Unwilling to be able to please him in every possible way, one day escaped his control, unwilling to let her leave so easily.
I don't know if he should be called too conceited, or if he is too sharp.
After school at noon, Sang Lili did not go to the rooftop to eat, but followed Wen Qiaoqiao to the cafeteria.
"Xueshen, I have long wanted to take you to the cafeteria, but you bring food every day, and I have never found a chance." Wen Qiaoqiao took advantage of the situation to hug Sang Li's arm and kept recommending delicious meals in the canteen to her.
Sang Carp took out the meal card that he hadn't used for a long time and ordered a pork rib rice.
The two girls faced each other and ate their meals cleanly.
"It's delicious." Wen Qiaoqiao looked at Sang Lili with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, her face was fair and round, like a freshly baked bun, cute and brilliant.
Sang Li nodded, followed her to the school gate to buy milk tea, planning to spend all the noon time eating and drinking, and resolutely did not give Lu Hanchuan a chance to get close to him.
Wen Qiaoqiao's brain circuit is very short, taking her around, and she is intoxicated by the sudden fairy friendship with Mulberry Carp.
There is a god as a friend, is it far from her grades improving?
It wasn't until class that the two walked into the classroom unhurriedly.
At this time, the gossip of Sang Li and Lu Hanchuan had spread all over the school, and countless stories of "chasing wives and crematoriums" were born on the school forum.
"SL is so powerful, I really got a certain school grass, and that's a lot of girls who can't get close to it for three whole years!"
"LHC's eyes looking at SL are so deep that I can't help but bring the heroine into me, and the whole person is drunk!"
"If I were SL, I would accept LHC directly, no matter whether there is a result in the future or not, I will first get the pure and beautiful body of the school grass."
"But, U1S1, someone is a real dog, he ignored SL for him before, and now SL is lost, he starts to be a demon again, it's boring! I hope he is a little self-aware, don't delay SL's results! β
"At this juncture of the college entrance examination, it feels weird for someone to do this kind of thing, I hope he really likes SL and not plays tricks on others."
"+1, although the school grass is cool and dragging, but the god is not bad, there is no need to hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck."
ββ¦β¦β
For the next few days, Lu Hanchuan didn't find a chance to be alone with Sang Li, and when it was time to leave school, she pinched the right time and walked quickly.
As the deadline for the bet got closer and closer, Lu Hanchuan's temper became more and more irritable.
On this day, as soon as Sang Li came out of the office, he was stopped in the corridor by Lu Hanchuan, "Let's talk." β
He stared at the girl condescendingly, and there was no doubt in his eyes.
Sang Carp seemed very calm this time, as if he had expected this moment, "Where do you want to talk?" β
"Rooftop."
The two walked quietly along the dim staircase, one after the other, and in the huge space, only dull footsteps could be heard.
Pushing open the rooftop door, the summer wind lifts the hem of the boys' clothes and the soft hair of the girls.
The two stood side by side by the railing, the top of the sycamore tree with its disjointed branches in front of them, and the smell of cicadas and youth came from the wind.
At that moment, neither of them spoke, the sun was warm on their faces, and their frozen hearts seemed to melt silently at a certain moment.
After a long time, Sang Li was the first to speak, "What do you want to say?" β
Lu Hanchuan looked at her sideways, the wind blew through the girl's hair, and the broken hair fell on her eyelashes, she gently closed her eyes and covered her forehead with her hands, looking a little stunned and a little unreal.
Lu Hanchuan's eyes flashed, and for a moment, he even felt his heartbeat faster, however, it was just his illusion, he quickly regained his senses, and asked silently: "You used to like me very much, why...... Suddenly don't like it? β
He asked this sentence very slowly and with difficulty in speaking.
However, Sang Carp replied very easily, "Because there is a price to pay for liking someone, I don't like to put myself in danger." β
"Like me means danger?" Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, dissatisfied with this answer.
Sang Li smiled and asked, "Isn't it?" β
Lu Hanchuan suddenly thought of the car accident and couldn't help but defend, "Even if I didn't have you that day, I would have been unscathed." β
"You see, this is the difference between me and you," Sang Li sighed secretly and said, "If you really like someone, how can you bear to put him in danger, just showing signs of danger, it's intolerable, isn't it?" β
Liking someone is not about weighing the result and the weight, because anything about your sweetheart is important in the eyes of your admirer.
"Whether you have an accident or not, rushing in front of you recklessly, that's what I like about you."
"And I hate this instinct."
She looked him in the eye and said seriously.
Obviously, her eyes were so bright, but Lu Hanchuan saw sadness in them, as if something was quickly disappearing from her.
Suddenly he could not utter a word, that she loved vanity, that she was pretending, that she did not really like herself at all, that he could have humiliated her casuallyβin this moment, only silence remained.
"What I told you before wasn't to deceive you, I really don't like you anymore."
"I didn't make this decision out of anger, I didn't want to get away with it, I just didn't like it."
Sang Li blinked his eyes and said calmly: "Even if a car is about to hit you now, I won't push you away again." β
Lu Hanchuan: "......"
"Is there anything else you'd like to say? I'll leave if nothing else. The mulberry carp turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop," Lu Hanchuan took a deep breath and stopped her, "How do you know that I never liked you?" β
Sang Li's footsteps paused, and a trace of astonishment crossed his face.
"What did you say?" She turned around, thinking she was hallucinating.
"Give me a chance," Lu Hanchuan stared at her deeply, and said word by word, "Be my girlfriend and make up for your past regrets." β
Sang Li's eyes widened, staring at him in a daze, his heart felt as if he had been hit hard with a heavy fist, Lu Hanchuan ...... was actually confessing to her.
He did confess.
From the last time he was alone, to the current time alone, he has indeed been pursuing her during this time.
"I like you," Lu Hanchuan looked determined and serious, "This time, I won't let you down again." β
After speaking, he quietly waited for Sang Li's answer, as if he firmly believed that she would not reject him.
After all, she used to like him that way.
Sang Li stood in place, his gaze swept over his face, keenly aware of his uneasiness, which seemed extremely inconsistent in him.
