Chapter 15(1/2)
Later that night, Zhao Nanxiao secretly wiped away the tears of being scolded by Xu Shu, returned to the dormitory as if nothing had happened, and spent her sleepless first night in college with the envious and curious eyes of the roommates who gathered around the world.
Ye Zhizhou is so famous and so dazzling. It is said that he had rejected the pursuit of a girl with excellent conditions in the economic department before. In just one day, the news that she was his girlfriend had spread throughout the department.
Zhao Nanxiao was caught off guard by everything that happened suddenly. It was at this time that she realized that Ye Zhizhou liked her so early, which was different from the ordinary love. He had been waiting for her. The agreement he made with her before going to college two years ago was his implicit confession.
Later, after being together, he confessed to her that the reason why he confessed in public was not only that he thought she also liked him as much as he liked her, and would be happy to know and want to surprise her, but also to prevent any other boy from the future from coveting her.
"Xiao Nan, you are so beautiful and excellent. You are the little princess. I know that many boys will like you in the future. I am very selfish, the kind of selfishness that a man is. I want to have all of you alone, from your first love to your head full of white hair, I want to grow old with you."
Which girl has the heart to blame for such an apology with a deep confession?
At that time, after a few days of school hiding, Zhao Nanxiao finally thought it through, asked Ye Zhizhou, and apologized to him nervously, saying that he had always regarded him as a brother, thinking that he was like him, and had no preparation to further develop such friendship with him. If she had any inappropriate words or actions that caused him to misunderstand, she hoped that he would forgive him.
After saying these words, she felt relaxed and blamed herself. It was because she finally said what she wanted to say, but she blamed herself for always being that Ye Zhizhou was the male god she regarded as a role model. She was really worried that such a rejection would bring him humiliation and hurt that he should not have borne.
After she finished explaining, he looked disappointed, but after a little pondering, he asked, "Xiao Nan, do you hate me?"
Of course Zhao Nanxiao shook her head. How could she hate him?
"So do you have that kind of person you like?"
Zhao Nanxiao paused for a moment and shook his head.
He smiled and said calmly: "That's good. Xiaonan, don't blame yourself for not liking me. You have no obligation to like me. It's because I'm too anxious and I'm not good. Now I just hope you can give me a chance to formally pursue you from today and try to make you fall in love with me too. Before this day comes, if you meet someone who makes you moved, or think you hate me, and even my approach makes you feel intolerable, then don't hesitate and tell me that I will never force you again."
Faced with such a confession, even if he is just an ordinary friend, he would not be able to refuse completely, let alone know him since childhood and have been with him for many years.
After that day, in the eyes of others, Ye Zhizhou was her flower guardian, and the two were golden boys and jade girls. He accompanied her to the library, listened to her favorite concerts, and wrote design programs together. He also invited her to watch the fencing club competitions he participated in, so that she could learn more about him. Many people with excellent academic performance often have one common feature, that is, their interests are wide and versatile, and he is no exception.
What made her most considerate was that every time he went to a place, he would definitely not forget to send her detailed photos of various directions of the typical local bridge he took.
Once he participated in an overseas exchange event in the Department of Architecture. In Eastern Europe, he sent her many detailed photos and images about the Charles Bridge in Prague that are usually difficult to find. Later she learned that he took a detour with the purpose of taking pictures of the bridge for her and left in a hurry after taking pictures.
He told her that, for example, when traveling to Athens, everyone will go to the Parthenon. It is different from travelers roaming between the pillars and taking pictures of the gods in Mount Olympus. What we learn to build is the Doric stigma of the temple. I think you are the same. What you like is the distribution of piers, stress structures, and their immortal and beautiful shapes. I hope that one day, you can accompany me to see all the great buildings in the world that I want to see. I hope that one day, I can accompany you to see all the great bridges in the world that you want to see.
No girl can reject a boy like Ye Zhizhou.
He is impeccable in any aspect of family background, talent, character, or ambition.
Zhao Nanxiao fell into deep contradictions.
She couldn't think of any reason for her to reject him again.
The Ye family’s parents liked her very much and were always very kind to her. After my grandfather and mother knew about Ye Zhizhou’s feelings for her, they were also happy about it.
She knew Ye Zhizhou's expectations. But after she decided like this, something seemed to be in her heart. This made her unable to make up her mind.
She didn't know where this feeling came from, but she just felt that if she was like this, she always seemed unwilling to accept it.
The first semester of college is about to pass soon. Before the end of the semester, Zhao Nanxiao learned something from a counselor who had a good relationship with him that Xu Shu often missed classes this semester, and the department considered giving a warning.
After entering university, he seemed to be completely let go, and became the Xu Shu she met in junior high school in Zhao Nanxiao's memory. He played motorcycles and participated in various competitions across the country. He went there for ten days and half a month. He played rock without motorcycles and formed a band with a boy named Yan Dun of the Department of Physics and several students from another famous institution a few kilometers away. He served as a bassist.
In the past few months, because of the unpleasantness of the first day of school, Zhao Nanxiao did not take the initiative to contact him, nor did he apologize to her. When he met in public classes, the two of them could only look at each other and stagger their eyes. Her expression was as plain as if nothing had happened, and he would not deliberately approach her. She sat in the front seat, and he would always be in the back corner, far away from her.
The relationship between the two has regressed to the alienation in the first two years of high school.
The little bit of the knot in Zhao Nanxiao's heart when school started could not be resolved, but when he heard the counselor say this, he couldn't help but worry again, and hurriedly explained his plea for him, hoping to give him another chance.
"He doesn't even come to talk to him. What can I do? I don't want to do it either. After all, he is the first place to be." The counselor also had a headache when he talked about him.
The feeling of regret in junior high school is coming again.
Zhao Nanxiao couldn't control himself, and after hesitating for a while, he finally came to him one weekend.
She found out that someone was renting a rehearsal room outside the school in the band, got the address, and took a bus to find it.
The rehearsal room was a bit off. Zhao Nanxiao asked many people to find the place. It was an old bungalow, a nearby factory. The motorcycle he usually rode was parked on the side, and a deafening sound came from it.
Zhao Nanxiao was wandering outside the door, not daring to go in rashly. Finally, when the music stopped, he saw the boy named Yan Dun of the physics department of the school walking out of the inside with an electric guitar on his back, and hurried up and asked him to send a message to him and ask Xu Shu to come out, and she had something to ask him to find him.
Yan Dun glanced at her, turned around and went in, and after a while he said, "Sorry, Xu Shu said he was busy and had no time, so he asked you to go back."
After he passed the message, he nodded politely to her and left.
After finding this place, how could she just turn around and go back like that?
Zhao Nanxiao wandered outside for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally took a step and walked into the open door.
As soon as she entered, her steps stopped.
There were a few boys in the bungalow, each doing their own things, but she saw Xu Shu at a glance.
He wore jeans and sat casually on the old cement floor with messy power cords. He lowered his head, adjusted the strings of a bass in his hand, and his forehead drooped to the tips of his eyebrows. A beautiful girl with long golden brown hair was kneeling behind him, holding him with her arms around her from behind, and her chest was also against his back, and was acting coquettishly at him: "Xu Shu! I want to ride on your motorcycle! You take me for a ride!"
"The motorcycle doesn't bring women! It brings bad luck, this is the rule!"
He responded.
He is handsome, playful, spends money like paper, and has a dazzling halo of the first place who passed the exam. Although he has only been in school for a few months, he is also a very high-profile figure on campus. Girls chat in the dormitory. As long as they talk about boys, they will definitely talk about him in the end. They have countless girls who have been in love with them in just one semester. Whenever there is news of a band performance on the weekend, even if it is just rehearsal, many girls will go to watch it and are extremely excited when they come back.
Of course, Zhao Nanxiao had never visited it, but I heard about it a few days ago that he and Hua Sheng Sisi, the department of the English department of the next university, got along.
When she heard this, she always felt that it was spreading rumors.
How could he be? Such a childish person. In her feelings, he seemed to have always been the boy he met in junior high school.
But now it seems that this girl should be Sheng Sisi.
"I don't believe it! I can't be an exception?" The girl was unwilling to accept it, and leaned over with red lips, as if she wanted to kiss his face.
"Don't you understand people's words? Don't be upset! Stay away..."
He turned his face impatiently and suddenly saw Zhao Nanxiao who was parked by the door and paused.
"Who are you?"
The girl also saw her and looked up to ask her, her arms were still wrapped around his neck.
Zhao Nanxiao felt his face on fire and his heart was beating fast. He resisted the urge to turn around and grab the door immediately. He tried not to look at the girl who was intimate with him. He met Xu Shu and looked at him with two gazes, and smiled on his face: "Xu Shu, can you come out? I really have something to do with you."
He looked at her for a while, slowly took away the girl's hand that was still on him, put the bass on the rack, got up from the ground, and walked over.
Zhao Nanxiao hurriedly turned around and went out, standing in the open space waiting.
"What's the matter?" He stopped in front of her, speaking casually.
Zhao Nanxiao calmed down and said his purpose.
"... The counselor promised to give you another chance. You should go to her as soon as possible to explain the reasons, and try not to be careless again in the future. If there is something wrong, you should ask for leave first. The counselor still has great hope for you."
She stopped.
He raised his eyebrows: "Are you finished?"
She nodded.
"Thank you. Go back."
He turned around, took out the car key from his jeans pocket, walked to the motorcycle, raised his long legs and rode on it, and drove the motorcycle.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhao Nanxiao hurriedly chased after him: "Xu Shu! I know you are annoying to me, but I really came here for your own good and treated you as my younger brother. After all, this is a school, and our main energy should be focused on our studies. Do you think it is..."
He had already taken off the helmet hanging on the front of the car and was about to wear it, but his back paused for a moment, suddenly turned his head, and a faint curve that looked like a smile hung on the corner of his lips.
He said: "Zhao Nanxiao, remember, my father is only my son, and the Yangzi I gave birth to is younger than me! I don't have a sister, and I don't lack sisters either!"
He put on his helmet, turned the accelerator, and the motorcycle engine let out a low "boom" roar, and rushed forward.
The girl ran out of the door and chased after a few steps. Xu Shu shouted, and when he saw that he had left, he paused in annoyance and turned to stare at Zhao Nanxiao with a disgusting expression: "Who are you? What does it have to do with him?"
Zhao Nanxiao's mind was in chaos and he didn't want to stay any longer.
She glanced at the beautiful girl named Sheng Sisi and turned around and left.
After this winter vacation, she officially became Ye Zhizhou's girlfriend when she came back.
...
It rained all night and finally stopped when it was almost dawn.
Zhao Nanxiao woke up last night and couldn't fall asleep again at five o'clock. She opened her eyes in the dark, listening to the sleep breathing sounds of the young man who was already turning toward her in his sleep. When it was dawn, she gently got out of bed, walked into the bathroom to wash up, packed up, and saw that he was also getting up, sitting on the bed with his quilt, and his figure was motionless, as if he was still in the daze that had just woken up from his dream.
"Sorry, I woke you up." Zhao Nanxiao said.
"It's okay! It's time to get up!"
The sound of his just woke up was a little hoarse and mellow, which was different from others. After saying that, he lifted the quilt, jumped up from the bed, rushed into the bathroom quickly, and quickly closed the door.
Zhao Nanxiao began to pack up his things, and suddenly heard a loud rustling sound from the bathroom, not the faucet.
Because the room is small and has poor sound insulation, it sounds very clear, as if it is next to you.
The sound was intermittent, sometimes high and sometimes low, as if the person who made a noise wanted to make it lighter and not disturb her.
Zhao Nanxiao also felt a little uncomfortable, paused, pretended to answer the phone and walked out, closed the door loudly, and waited in the corridor for a while before coming in.
He had opened the door and was washing his face and brushing his teeth.
Zhao Nanxiao continued to pack the boxes, and the cell phone he placed at the bedside rang.
"You can help me take it!"
He directed her, and his mouth seemed to have water in his mouth, and his voice was vague.
To be continued...
