Chapter 227: So What if You’re Carefree

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

He never had much contact with others. His handsome face was always very cold and unwilling to reveal any unnecessary expressions. He was like a bottomless abyss. Even if others didn’t know what was underground, there was always an inexplicable magic that attracted people to explore.

He was a memory that many girls couldn’t erase from their youth.

Occasionally, he would play basketball. At that time, he would take off his hat and thick coat.

His mysterious and gloomy temperament would then disappear in an instant. He ran under the sun. The muscles on his body were beautiful and clear. Sweat kept dripping from the ends of his hair. Every time he tiptoed and easily made a three-pointer, the audience would always applaud and cheer.

Everyone rarely saw Lu An smile. It wasn’t because Lu An didn’t know how to smile, but because he always had a high point of laughter. There were very few things that could make him laugh to his heart’s content.

Many girls confessed to him. Some secretly gave him love letters, and some stopped him to ask for his contact information. He did not accept a single love letter, nor did he give his contact information to these people. Even though he looked very cold, he was quite polite when rejecting girls.

When he rejected others, he didn’t look down on them or feel superior to them. He didn’t feel that there was anything about him that was worthy of admiration, but this didn’t mean that he would mock others for liking him.

At school, the brim of his baseball cap was always pressed down so low that it almost covered his eyebrows. However, his superior bone structure, high nose bridge, and clear jawline made the baseball cap look like an accessory to him.

His voice was low. His Mandarin was not like most northerners, which had a little r-accent, but it was very standard. Every time he rejected another girl, he would politely say, “Sorry, 1 already have someone in my mind.”

After hearing this, no one continued to pester him. It would have taken a lot of courage to confess to such a cold boy. Every time the girls looked up and saw Lu An’s deep eyes, they felt as if they were being sucked in and falling.

This kind of boy was impossible to be completely controlled. Even if they were lucky enough to get together, he would still make her feel like she would lose him.

However, this kind of boy always made people wonder what kind of girl he would like.

What did Lu An like about Jin Nian?

Lu An’s mind was full of thoughts, but he didn’t have a clear core.

He loved being held by Jin Nian’s hand when he was young.

He liked to go home with her under the street lights every day.

He liked to see Jin Nian’s distressed face when she couldn’t solve the questions.

He liked to see her look satisfied every time she ate.

Lu An remembered those seemingly ordinary daily things by bit in his mind. With just a little thought, he could think of countless related things.

Then what did he not like about Jin Nian?

Lu An could count Jin Nian’s flaws in detail without hesitating. He thought that he understood Jin Nian very well.

Jin Nian was a carefree girl. Sometimes, she was a little dull and not smart. She liked to laze in bed and did not like to exercise…

Da*n! These were not flaws!

Lu An was so biased that he could always find a suitable explanation for Jin Nian’s actions.

So what if she was careless and dull? She would have less trouble!

So what if she liked to laze in bed? The winter in the south was very cold. It was normal for people to not want to climb out of their warm beds!

It’s normal to not like sports. There’s no rule that everyone has to love sports. Isn’t it enough to be healthy?

If she liked it, then so be it. Why did she have to find a bunch of nonsensical reasons and excuses to do what she liked?

Lu An had long recognized his inner feelings.

When he was a freshman, Lu An had been to Jin Nian’s school several times. He was very familiar with the place. Every time he went, he would secretly look forward to seeing her on the way.

For Jin Nian’s birthday, he had carefully selected and prepared many gifts. Some of the gifts could not be bought in China, so he had someone get them back.

She would like these gifts, wouldn’t she? She would definitely like them, right?

The young man’s thoughts were extremely pure and simple. He only hoped that she would like the gifts and that she would be happy.

That was the second time Lu An had seen a boy named Jiang Qingchi. He and Jin Nian stood together, and they looked like a match.

It was close to the end of the year. Binhai city was shrouded in a cold chill.

Jin Nian put on the boy’s jacket and smiled shyly at him.

Lu An stood far behind Jin Nian. He didn’t take a step forward..
