I just can't help feeling sad.
Shen Moyu buried his face in his palms, his warm breath seeping out from between his fingers. He sniffed and then buried his head in the pillow.
He didn't know when he fell asleep, but he knew that in his dream, the person who had upset him seemed to appear.
The end-of-month exams arrived as scheduled, and all the students rushed from home early in the morning to study. The usually noisy corridors and classrooms became unusually quiet.
Su Jinning yawned as she entered the classroom, glancing subconsciously at Shen Moyu's seat.
Sure enough, he arrived early and sat there reading as usual, occasionally adjusting his glasses.
It was as if nothing had happened, and he knew nothing about it.
Seeing his serious expression, Su Jinning couldn't help but think of what happened yesterday.
Shen Moyu did not reply to his messages after that. Although he knew that Shen Moyu might be busy or might not have seen them, he was still very unhappy.
He pursed his lips, lowered his head and sat back down, vowing that he would never speak to Shen Moyu unless she took the initiative to approach him!
Throughout the morning self-study session, although he didn't speak to Shen Moyu directly, he frequently glanced at her.
Sometimes he would still open Shen Moyu's chat window and refresh it subconsciously, even though he knew there would be no messages.
He did it, but not completely.
Until lunchtime, the two did not speak to each other again. Even when they bumped into each other in the restroom and convenience store, they would only glance at each other briefly and pass by like strangers.
Chen Hang was the first to notice something was wrong, and mustered up his courage to ask, "Ning-ge, did you and the top student... have another fight?"
The snacks in Su Jinning's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," as if they had been spilled by something invisible.
"It's none of your business." This time, Su Jinning didn't glare at Chen Hang anymore; she just picked up the snacks again on her own.
The sentence, which sounded like a sarcastic remark, was enough to make its meaning clear. Chen Hang shook his head helplessly, unsure how to respond.
Su Jinning's mood, which had been much better, became irritable again after Chen Hang asked her that question.
He carried a bag of snacks in his left hand, put his right hand in his pocket, and weaved through the crowd with a frown on his face.
He really couldn't understand why this person was so stubborn. If he didn't look for him, why wouldn't he come looking for him?
Why did he end up with a girlfriend who refused to make up after a fight?
He refused to believe he hadn't seen the WeChat message from last night!
It's like I've wronged him!
"Damn it!" Su Jinning cursed as she stopped at the entrance of the teaching building, so angry that she could barely hold the snacks in her hand.
The innocent students who were chatting and laughing as they passed by quickly stopped talking and retreated eighty feet away without daring to look at the school bully, as soon as they saw that he was in a bad mood.
"Brother Ning, that's embarrassing!" Chen Hang wished he could disappear into the ground and tugged at Su Jinning's sleeve to remind him.
"Get lost, don't bother me!" Su Jinning shouted again, and the second wave of innocent classmates passing by retreated eighty feet away.
"Damn it!" Chen Hang cursed at the entrance of the teaching building where Su Jinning had disappeared.
However, the third group of students who passed by all cursed, "You're crazy."
This contrasts sharply with the previous two groups of students.
Seeing that his attempt to show off had failed and he had lost face, Chen Hang quickly turned around and rushed into the teaching building.
Su Jinning stood at the classroom door, completely baffled as to what this person was thinking. Perhaps his anger was burning in his throat, and he was so thirsty that he grabbed the water from the bag, twisted it open, and drank it down.
Damn it, even if Shen Moyu appeared right now, he wouldn't even glance at him!
Su Jinning was enjoying her drink when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shen Moyu carrying a lunchbox and walking towards her.
"Pfft—" He couldn't help it.
Cold water spurted from Su Jinning's mouth...
"Damn! Are you a fountain?" Shen Moyu quickly took two steps back, looking at him speechlessly.
Su Jinning glanced at the person she had just insulted, felt a little guilty, wiped her mouth, and remained silent.
Shen Moyu looked at the water stains on his body mixed with Su Jinning's saliva with disgust, feeling a mix of anger and helplessness, and didn't know what to say.
Su Jinning looked him up and down, then arrogantly turned her head away. Even though he was now taking the initiative to speak to her, she would still do as she pleased and resolutely remain silent.
"Are you a voice-activated fountain? Spraying water on everyone you see? You idiot!" Shen Moyu pulled out a piece of paper from her pocket and glared at him.
Okay, he's already spoken to me a couple of times, so I can apologize a little now. Even though the second thing he said was insults.
"Uh, I'm sorry." Su Jinning sounded a little nervous, as if she were speaking to him for the first time.
He glanced at Shen Moyu, who was still wiping his pants, and somewhat embarrassedly pulled out two tissues from his pocket to help Shen Moyu wipe his pants as well.
The moment her hand reached out to Shen Moyu, he slapped it away.
"Holy crap, what are you doing?" Su Jinning rubbed the back of her hand and looked at him resentfully.
Shen Moyu didn't look up, focusing on wiping the water stains off her clothes.
"Hey, did you fail your exam or something? Why are you so angry?" Su Jinning leaned against the wall and rolled her eyes.
Shen Moyu forgot that she had an injury on her leg, and when she rubbed it hard, she pressed right against the wound on her leg.
"Hiss..." Shen Moyu shuddered in pain. Even though medicine had been applied and a band-aid had been put on, why did it still hurt so much?
The pain was excruciating, like an infection.
Su Jinning, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed something was wrong. He frowned and walked over, squatting down without saying a word to check Shen Moyu's injury: "You didn't hurt this leg at the last sports meet, did you?"
"Hey, what are you doing?" Shen Moyu was startled and was about to back away when he found that Su Jinning had already grabbed his trouser leg.
The students passing by all stared in astonishment at the bewildering behavior of the two popular figures on campus.
Then she whispered something to her friends next to her, and some even took pictures.
Su Jinning ignored him and simply pulled Shen Moyu's pants up to his knees, then frowned.
"Hey!" Shen Moyu tried to move, but Su Jinning's hand on his ankle was gripping too tightly, and his knee was in excruciating pain with every movement. In the end, he gave up struggling.
Su Jinning looked at Shen Moyu's knees, which were covered in medicine and plastered with a bunch of bandages, with a headache.
"Why are you wearing a band-aid?" Su Jinning looked up at Shen Moyu, her voice slightly hoarse.
Shen Moyu looked down at his knee, which was covered with four band-aids, making the wound appear quite constricted, and felt a little embarrassed.
He had never suffered such a serious knee injury in his life. In the past, he would just put on a band-aid and be done with it, so he naturally did not handle it properly.
"Pfft..." Su Jinning stared at his knee and couldn't help but laugh. She said between laughs, "Are you playing with a bandage? This wound is wrapped up so tightly, it's going to be hard for it to heal. No wonder it's getting more and more painful!"
