Volume 1 Chapter 29: Bumping into the wrong person

  "Sorry." I apologized to the boy I had bumped into and was about to turn around and leave.

  "Wait a minute, don't you think you owe me a thank you?" A somewhat familiar voice echoed in my ear, lazily carrying a hint of teasing.

  I finally turned my head to look at the boy who had lent a helping hand, but I never expected him to be Chou Chen, whom Cheng Sheng said hadn't shown up all day today.

  The "thank you" that was about to come out of my mouth was swallowed back into my belly, and I just looked at him without saying a word.

  My understanding of this boy is more rumor than reality, though I can't deny that he's a super charming bad boy with an icy gaze, sometimes evil and sometimes indifferent, yet flashing a hint of melancholy that's hard to detect, making him the perfect object to captivate 15- or 16-year-old girls.

  But at that time, there was only one blue law. When you like someone, you like them with all your heart and soul, so how can you look at others? Love letters and roses are just futile.

  "Have you suddenly fallen for me? Looking at me like that." Qiu Chen said as he leaned his face in close to mine.

  "Don't use your narcissism on me." Every time I see him, I feel like each time is not the whole of him. Last time was a cold and overbearing attitude, this time it's a sentimental smile like a rogue, obviously only a little older than myself, but so elusive.

  "It's confidence, not narcissism. I've said it before, I'll definitely get you in my hands. As long as it's what I like, no matter the cost." Don't let me escape, Chou Chen leaned into my ear and said the same words as last time.

  "You..." I stared at him incredulously, how could he say such a thing, yet his eyes were so serious.

  "Don't believe me? I'll show you proof."

  "Aren't you afraid of the teacher finding out? Do you like a girl to be forced like this?" We're still so young, but his words are already filled with possessiveness. As Ye Xin said, at 17 years old, he's been in relationships with many girls, but does he really know what love is?

  "They didn't need me to force them, and I don't need to either. Shanshan, you must think I'm deceiving you, but in fact, you really are the first one."

  "I don't like you." Such a great guy says this to me, shouldn't I be blushing and my heart racing? But I didn't feel anything, deep down inside, it's still the pain that Lan Lu brought me.

  "As long as I like you, it's okay."

  "I'm Ah-Choo." A gust of north wind blew by, and I couldn't help but let out a sneeze.

  "Mantis, give me your jacket." Chou Chen suddenly said to another boy.

  "Boss, it's really cold!"

  "Hurry up and give it to me."

  "Got it!" The boy called "Mantis" reluctantly took off his warm jacket, and would return to the classroom to extort another one from someone else later.

  "Put it on." After taking the coat, Qiu Chen directly put it on me.

  "I don't want to." I tore it off, not used to touching clothes that others had worn since childhood, because there was a smell that didn't belong to me, let alone one that belonged to a strange boy.
