Chapter 73: Xie Qin

~7 min read 1,378 words

Xie Qin put down his phone and looked at her: "National Day is coming soon. If you don't want to study, how about I take you out to play? Game hall, ski resort, or go to a resort to soak in hot springs?" "If that doesn't work, I'll do what I did last time, accompany you for a few laps?"

Shen Li: "..."

"Your grades aren't good, and I didn't dislike you, bad is bad, anyway I'm not much better."

Xie Qin was a person who did as he pleased, no matter what he did, it was all based on his own happiness. Even if it was someone he liked, as long as he liked her, he didn't care what she was like.

Anyway, I'm willing.

Xie Qin: "Angry already?"

Shen Li's progress today was much slower than usual, "I'm not angry." Her voice was so light it was almost inaudible.

She just thought of some bad things, so she didn't want to talk right now.

What Xie Qin said was just like what her mother often said to her.

That feeling was like having a huge stone pressing on her, making her unable to breathe.

She didn't hate Xie Qin.

Actually... Xie Qin was still quite good, and he was one of the few people who were good to her.

Listening to what he said, Shen Li looked back and reflected, her attitude was indeed a bit wrong.

"Then you don't talk to me at all. Didn't we agree not to be fierce to me. You just... were fierce to me again!" As he said this, Xie Qin leaned back, rested one hand on the desk, crossed his legs, and his well-defined, good-looking fingers tapped rhythmically on the desk in order, his voice slow, half-squinting his eyes, saying to her: "Is your temper too big?"

Shen Li lowered her long eyelashes, trembling slightly, her flat face without much emotion. She raised her head, her lips curling into an arc, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

An unclear apology.

Seeing her serious appearance, Xie Qin was about to say something when he was interrupted.

Suddenly, the phone he put on the desk vibrated.

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the library at this time, so he answered the phone as he pleased, put it to his ear, "... Speak!"

Xie Qin's attitude when answering the phone seemed to have always been like this, his tone when opening his mouth was extremely impatient to everyone, with an attitude of telling them to speak quickly, and after speaking, get lost, don't annoy me.

Shen Li felt that she didn't have much of a temper. Besides Xie Qin, no one had ever said her temper was bad.

She felt that she was always accommodating him.

She didn't know how he could say her temper was big.

But it seemed, it was like this, her tone just now might indeed have been too heavy to him.

A bit unable to control.

Xie Qin was on the phone, his gaze falling on Shen Li, his tone casual, "Whether I should say this or not, is it up to you to say." As he said this, he sneered, "Feelings? What kind of broken feelings could I have with a tomboy like you?"

"Go find Xu Zhouyuan, stop fucking annoying me."

As he said this, Xie Qin hung up the phone.

Shen Li felt that he was quite busy, with many messages and calls every day.

She thought for a moment and said this: "If you... have something to do, actually you don't have to accompany me to the library."

Xie Qin said to her somewhat inscrutably: "You still know you're in the library? I let you study hard, and you give me a cold shoulder! I found that you... not only have a big temper, but also quite... difficult to deal with! Do you want to study or not? Do you want to participate in the competition or not? Do you know what you want to do yourself?"

"Want is want, don't want is don't want! If you want, study hard, if you don't... I'll take you out to play."

"Is it necessary to be so twisted?"

After saying two sentences, Shen Li lowered her head silently.

She didn't want to participate in the competition.

Coming to the library was just to find something to do for herself.

Otherwise... she didn't know what she should do either.

Shen Li was silent, lowered her head, and didn't speak.

Xie Qin reached out, bent his fingers, and brushed across her face, soft beyond words: "What are you resisting? Am I... not good enough to you? What do you think I accompany you every day for?"

Shen Li: "..."

"... I'll just ask you one question!"

Shen Li raised her head slightly: "What?"

Xie Qin: "Do you... like me a little more than yesterday!"

9:30 at night.

Girls' dormitory, after Shen Li took a shower, she went to bed. The phone charging on the desk under the bed lit up several times.

The door downstairs was already closed. After Zhang Zixin and Xu Zhouyuan made up, she didn't come back tonight either.

Zhao Zhouyuan was playing games under the bed. She basically wouldn't take a shower and go to bed until 11:00 at night.

Shen Li looked at the snow-white wall above her head and slowly closed her eyes. After taking the medicine, she felt a bit sleepy.

It was quiet in the dormitory for a while, and then she heard footsteps coming and going. A while later, the sound of the washing machine started on the balcony. Listening to the sound, in a half-dream and half-awake state, she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

In her dream, she was walking blindly and aimlessly in a snow-white expanse.

In the familiar dream, this time... there seemed to be one more person.

There was a black silhouette running toward her.

No matter how he chased, the distance between them didn't get any closer, and the distance was getting further and further away.

She didn't stop to wait for him either.

On the table were more than sixty cups of high-concentration 'Blue Deep Sea' white wine.

Zhang Zixin was wearing a new LV bracelet on her wrist, and was unwillingly pressed on the shoulder by him, sitting on the sofa, "Wife... today, just give me some face."

"They are all friends, don't make it look too ugly."

Zhang Zixin didn't look at her either, looking at her phone on her own, head down, and on her neck, there was a bright red strawberry mark that had just been planted not long ago.

Bai Chuyue stood, holding a glass of wine in her hand, sweeping across everyone and saying: "What I said at noon today, I take it all back, it was me not using my brain, making everyone feel uncomfortable, I'll punish myself with a glass first."

"This second glass." She finished it in one gulp, and picked it up again, "I didn't mean that either, saying I look down on Chengde University. Several of my best friends are studying here, how could I look down on them."

"Mainly because what I said was because I know too much."

"I didn't target anyone either."

"These three years of high school, we all hung out together, right. I've seen too many girls around Xie Qin, without exception, all the same."

"Which one wasn't chasing him, I also heard for the first time that he went to chase someone else. So... I unintentionally said that her level is high, being able to hang him."

"... But it was indeed my fault, I shouldn't have gossiped and pointed fingers behind her back."

"I'll punish myself with three glasses."

"Of course... if you guys think it's not enough, today the wine on the table, I'll drink it all, until you guys are satisfied."

Xie Qin on the side leaned lazily on the sofa, obviously absent-minded, turning the lighter on and off in his hand.

A moment of silence in the atmosphere.

In a while, Bai Chuyue poured wine for herself glass after glass, and more than half of it was drunk in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Mingyu stood up quickly and stopped her: "..."
