Four.
I was so scared that I almost lost my soul. When I turned around, I saw Shen Xingmo smiling at me and saying, "What mischief have you been up to? Acting so sneaky."
Immediately after, another text message popped up. I was about to reply to the message, asking where he got my contact information. When I saw what he sent, I deleted the text in the compose box and replied with a simple "okay".
Until I finished viewing the first exhibition hall and entered the second one, my enthusiasm remained undiminished.
He does not allow such things to happen, absolutely not.
He said, "I'm afraid you'll have sequelae."
Did you agree? Can I call you that? His tone was filled with inexplicable joy. I was slow to react, looking at his calm and clear eyes, blinking, realizing it was too late to refuse.
Ayuan! Ayuan! Ayuan---He caught up and surrounded me, shouting non-stop. I looked at him like he was crazy, sighed silently in my heart, and wondered if Shen Xingmo had some unknown strange habit?
I held my breath and listened quietly, with eyes as calm as a clear lake, yet my heart was churning like a stormy sea.
No, not yet. As I spoke, I avoided him and walked forward. It turned out to be a restroom here, and there seemed to be a way out behind it. I sprained my foot and every step was painful.
That was close. Worried about running into any of them, I planned to find another way out. Just as I had relaxed, a hand patted me on the shoulder.
I told him that I will be careful in the future.
As I saw Lin Jingxiang was about to come out, I must not let her know that I witnessed her quarrel with Chen Jinmo. I turned around, hurriedly ran away, turned at the fork in the road, and didn't pay attention to the steps under my feet. I accidentally fell and sat on the ground.
It seems that nothing can escape his eyes. Just as he was holding my ankle, after a few "ouch" sounds from me, Shen Xingmo decisively decided to carry me on his back.
He was not there when I was injured.
They also look like they came to see the exhibition, but they haven't encountered each other inside. They must have been arguing here for a while.
Last time I was in charge of collecting the student information for the class, I have saved your number. Shen Xingmo.
What's wrong with my foot? However, Shen Xingmo no longer clung to this question. I just walked strangely, and he finally noticed it carefully. Now he sees me walking on tiptoe, and he squats down to examine my ankle.
I am separated from them by a wall. Outside the long corridor is a small garden. From where I stand, I can see Chen Jinmo gnashing his teeth in anger through the thin gauze window. Seeing him so arrogant, Lin Jingxiang slapped him fiercely.
Chen Jinmo! You bastard!
My foot was sprained and a little skin was broken. Shen Xingmo took me to a nearby clinic. I watched him silently disinfecting and applying medicine for me, with a gloomy face.
Can't stand me? Then get lost!
Ah, it's best not to go too far in life.
At this moment, I recalled Chen Jinmo, whose body exuded a faint tobacco scent.
When Shen Xingmo walked out with me on his back, Chen Jinmo stood at the corner of the corridor, looking gloomy, watching us leave. This young man who accompanied me through my youth, seeing me gradually drifting away from him and entering someone else's world, he found himself helpless.
"Lying, it's obvious something is wrong." Shen Xingmo pursued me relentlessly, staring at me intently. I dared not meet his gaze and shrugged my shoulders.
I heard it, I heard it. I covered my ears, walked forward, and escaped from him.
Ah? What's wrong? I was bending over, looking at a landscape painting on a big red stone, and without turning my head, I responded to him.
I have to admit that Shen Xingmo looks as thin as a long bean, but he is very strong. He carried me steadily forward. I could hear his breathing and smell the scent of cedar wood on him. He sprayed a light and fresh perfume, which smelled good. The branches of the Chinese fir intertwined above my head. I raised my head and felt a moment of trance.
Home is cold and quiet, the air conditioning is not on. No one in the living room, no one in the room, Lin Jingxiang and Qin Fangrui are both out, I bounce to the kitchen, planning to cook a bowl of egg and vegetable noodles.
Of course, I didn't know that Chen Jinmo was standing behind us, a few meters away. When Lin Jingxiang and Chen Jinmo were arguing, Chen Jinmo noticed me. Instead of chasing after Lin Jingxiang, he came to find me.
After visiting the exhibition hall, I wandered around a long corridor. Suddenly, a burst of arguing voices reached my ears.
Be careful not to let the wound touch water.
Shen Xingmo put his backpack on his chest, waited for a long time, and saw me with an awkward expression. Without even asking, he pulled my arms and I exclaimed as he lifted me up.
My ankle hurts so much that I dare not make a sound. I limped and hobbled, and in my desperation, I hid behind a door, straightening my back and trying to use the nearby trees to shield my body. Lin Jingxiang walked past outside, sobbing.
He nodded gently, without any intention of speaking. I stuck out my tongue, not understanding where I had offended him. After treating the wound, Shen Xingmo sent me home without staying for even a moment.
He first realized that the beautiful girl, as beautiful as a spring breeze, would grow up, fall in love with a man, leave him, and forget about him. His heart felt like it had been cut by a saw, very painful. If she hadn't led him out of the darkness, she would have left easily.
Chen Jinmo, what exactly do you want me to do?
"Ah Yuan?" He looked at me with a hint of affection and I responded with a sound of agreement. He then called out my name repeatedly, like a child, with a continuous stream of "Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan..." in my ear.
"Ah Yuan?" Shen Xingmo whispered behind me.
The crisp sound of a slap rang out, and the air instantly fell silent.
Chen Jinmo did not chase after.
Okay, okay. "I reluctantly said, it's just a form of address, it doesn't matter much."
Those star-like eyes, from disappointment and loss, have become cold and sinister, no longer clear.
I am willful? Yes, I am willful. It is because of my willfulness that I am with you. Look at yourself now, what have you become? Let me tell you, I despise all your friends. I still have my future, no time to fool around with you all! I was blind to fall for you back then, Lin Jingxiang.
I only ask that you not be so willful, okay? Miss.
A cat, just a stray cat, startled me. I was afraid it would bite me, so I hid. I lied with my eyes open, regardless of whether Shen Xingmo believed it or not.
Apart from holding hands with Chen Jinmo, I have never been so intimate with any other boy. Now I have to avoid suspicion with Chen Jinmo. How can I be willing to climb onto Shen Xingmo's back?
When the water boiled, a message came in. Upon opening it, I saw that it was from a stranger, who knew that I had sprained my foot today.
"Not feeling well?" I looked at him with concern. He was sweating profusely on his forehead, holding his stomach and his face was pale. Shen Xingmo glanced at me with difficulty and rushed towards the restroom.
Chen Jinmo, we're breaking up! If you're a man, don't bother me anymore! Lin Jingxiang cried and ran away from Chen Jinmo. The only way out of the small garden was through a long corridor, which Lin Jingxiang would inevitably pass through.
There were strange looks coming towards me and Shen Xingmo. I consciously kept a few meters away from him, pretending not to know him. Perhaps he had said too much, and heaven punished him. Half an hour later, Shen Xingmo was holding his stomach, looking very uncomfortable.
Then, he heard another voice, so he stopped his footsteps.
