Chapter 52
Ye Zhou didnt know how he came back; he only remembered that hed almost ridden the bike into the flower beds several times.
Ye Zhous heart was still beating like thunder as he locked the bike in a fluster and climbed up the stairs.
Eh, werent you just going to take a shower? How did you come back from the outside? Liu Yutian came out from visiting the dorm next door and saw Ye Zhou just passing 404.
Ah? Ye Zhou said incoherently, I just went out for something. Im going to shower.
Liu Yutian followed behind Ye Zhou and saw that there was an empty place on the flower stand by the doorway. He asked, What about Shang Jins strawberry?? It wouldnt have been carried away by birds, right!!
Ye Zhou still held the two white flowers in his hand, but at the moment, theyd been kneaded together into a lump: flowers that were no longer flowers. He put his hand behind his back and said, II dont know.
The students from 404 and 403 came out when they heard the commotion and surrounded the flower stand. In a moment, they poked their heads to look downstairs to see that it hadnt fallen, and in another moment, they looked nearby to see if someone had played a prank and carried it away.
Taking advantage of everyone not paying attention to him, Ye Zhou grabbed his clothes and dived into the bathroom.
He showered and quickly went to bed. Facing the white wall, he didnt dare to turn his head.
Ye Zhou didnt dare to face Shang Jin, but he also didnt understand why he didnt dare to face Shang Jin.
Obviously hed told the truth and all of this was Shang Jins misunderstanding, but it was also Shang Jin whod eavesdropped on his and Su Yins conversation first.
Obviously, from any way he looked at it, he shouldnt have a guilty conscience.
But why
The dorm door was pushed open and Ye Zhous heart tightened.
Why hasnt Shang Jin come back yet?
I didnt see him when I returned to the dorm.
Without rhyme or reason, how can the strawberry disappear! Liu Yutian clicked his tongue and looked up, Zhou, why are you sleeping so early today?
Lower your voice. I saw that he was just very out of it, Wen Renxu pulled Liu Yutians sleeve and whispered, Didnt you see that he turned a deaf ear when you mentioned Shang Jins strawberry? If it were usual and Shang Jins matter was brought up, hed be the first to jump up.
Ye Zhou grasped the sheets. For the first time, he realized that he had such an image in the eyes of others.
Shang Jin, youre back. Your strawberry Liu Yutian stared at the cage in Shang Jins right hand and said, You took the strawberry out?
Yeah, took it for a walk. Shang Jin returned the cage to its place. Entering the dorm, he saw that Ye Zhou was facing away from him and he quickly removed his gaze. Youve all washed up?
Washed, washed. Liu Yutian gathered by Shang Jins side, looked at Ye Zhous bed and asked, Whats wrong with him?
Not too clear. Shang Jin went to the sink, turned on the faucet and forcefully threw the cold water on his face.
Since Shang Jins return, Ye Zhou had his ears perked up all along. When he heard this sentence, he was furious in his heart:Youre the one whos clearest!Originally, the two people were good. Why did he have to say such a thing? Otherwise, why would he need to lie in bed nowif it were usual, they would certainly observe the strawberry flowers together, and then theyd discuss whose strawberry would bear fruit first. Not like now, the flowers were plucked, and people were
It was still a month away from summer vacation. How would he survive during this time
Because Ye Zhou went to bed early this night, the other three people in 405 were very quiet all night.
In his sleep, Ye Zhou seemed to have returned to the bamboo grove, but there wasnt a shadow of Shang Jin at the stone table, leaving only a pot of strawberry flowers gently swaying in the night breeze. He walked to the table and saw the two plucked strawberry flowers drift up from the table to the sky. In a gust of wind, the petals scattered and were soon blown away without a trace. In a moment of distraction, even the strawberry on the table disappeared.
Ye Zhou suddenly opened his eyes and the sky was already bright. He turned and carefully looked at Shang Jins bed.
He didnt expect that Shang Jins bed was already empty. The quilt was stacked neatly on the bed and the sheet didnt have a trace of a wrinkle. Casting his gaze down, the messy tabletop last night was also tidied up.
Ye Zhou took a moment to wake up. He lifted off his quilt and jumped out of bed. When he opened the door, there was only his own solitary strawberry left on the huge flower stand.
He took out his cell phone, opened Shang Jins number, and pressed the dial button for half a day without letting go.
What do you think youre doing? Even if it went through, what could you say?
Ye Zhou looked at the contact and hesitated. Seeing Shang Mings name under Shang Jin, he was suddenly ignited by an impulse and simply packed his luggage. After washing, he didnt even eat breakfast and rushed to the train station.
Meanwhile, Shang Jin carried his strawberry seedling and returned home.
Shang Jin, youre back. The aunt at home was pleasantly surprised when she saw Shang Jin at the door, Just right, Youyou has been shouting for her brother everyday.
Aunt Zhang, is there something to eat? A bit hungry. Shang Jin changed his shoes and placed the strawberry seedling on the windowsill. The strawberry flowers glittered in the sunlight and the breeze ruffled the leaves. Shang Jin saw a flower had withered under the leaves and a small green fruit grew out from the middle. It actuallybegan to fruit.
The long-awaited scene appeared at this time.
There was no excitement of the unexpected, only a sense of disappointment and frustration.
If Ye Zhou hadnt so obviously avoided him, he wouldnt be afraid that Ye Zhou would be uncomfortable when he saw him and so rushed home early in the morning.
Big brother! Shang Youyou ran downstairs skipping and jumping. Qin Fei braced the side of her arm against the bannister and told Shang Youyou to slow down a bit while carefully descending the staircase.
Qin Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said, I was just thinking of asking you to come back for the weekend.
Shang Jin nodded to Qin Fei. Shang Youyou hugged his thigh and stood on tiptoes to look at the windowsill. Shang Jin picked her up and, sitting in Shang Jins arm, Shang Youyou asked, Why does the flower have to be in the cage?
So the birds cant harm the flowers.
Shang Youyou suddenly realized and reached out several times, wanting to touch the flowerpot. In the end, the cage net was too close together and Shang Youyous hand could only go in a little bit. Worrying that her hand would get caught, Shang Jin placed Shang Youyou on the ground, undid the triangular clasp on the cage and took out the flowerpot.
Shang Youyou stood on the small bench with her two hands propping up her head. She looked at the flowers and looked up at Shang Jin again. Its so beautiful.
Youyou, help me look over them. Dont let the birds hurt them, okay?
Shang Youyou nodded and in a moment, she looked around vigilantly as if facing a great enemy. Her arms guarded on both sides of the flowerpot, lest a bird emerged to snatch the flowers.
Shang Jin, can I trouble you to come home everyday during this time? Qin Fei said carefully, Ill be due in a few days, Youyou
No problem. Shang Jin took the bowl of millet porridge and took a sip. Anyway, I wont have any classes in a week. At that time, Ill come live at home.
Thats great. Qin Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Ill be going to the hospital soon, and its inconvenient for Youyou to follow me in the evening. If youre home, shell feel at ease.
After a few mouthfuls, Shang Jin finished drinking the millet porridge and he put the bowl down. When will you be hospitalized?
Qin Fei touched her belly and said, Im afraid Ill be going in two days.
Shang Jin said, Well, I will stay at home from now on. It only takes half an hour to drive to and from school. During the day, I can help you send Youyou to school.
Qin Fei was startled. Although shed hoped that Shang Jin would come back, but Shang Jin being so articulate was actually a bit unusual. Before, hed been too lazy to make a trip back home even once during a semester, but now he actually volunteered to come back everyday. Qin Fei asked tentatively, Is everything okay at school?
What can happen to me? Shang Jin scoffed. It was only that he didnt want to make things awkward for Ye Zhou. That fool always thought for others. Originally, it was he who had broken the harmonious relationship between the two people, but in the end, it was Ye Zhou who was full of guilt and didnt dare to face him.
On the other side, A City train station.
Toot
The train whistle sounded. Ye Zhou sat in the train, watching the scenery gradually receding out the window.
Too cowardly! Ye Zhou clenched his fists. Yesterday, it could have been better if hed replied to Shang Jin, but he actually fled without turning his head back.
He grabbed his hair. What was he going to do with Shang Jin later on?
Not sleeping well at night, Ye Zhou sat in the car and dazedly fell asleep. Half asleep and half awake, he felt that the people around him were all walking. Ye Zhou opened his eyes and saw that most of the passengers were carrying their suitcases and getting ready to off-board the train. Ye Zhou carried his backpack and hurriedly followed behind them.
From the station, he took a direct bus to Shang Mings school. After forty minutes, Ye Zhou stood at T Unis gate. Taking out his cell phone, he listlessly gave Shang Ming a call.
Come and pick me up
Shang Ming blanked first and then an exclamation burst out, You came to my school??
Yeah.
Coming at once!
Twenty minutes later, Shang Ming rushed over on a lady bicycle.
Ye Zhous mood lifted a bit when he saw a familiar person. Your aesthetic is a bityou wouldnt have turned girly after staying with girls for so long, right?
Girly, your sister! My bicycle doesnt have a backseat, so I borrowed one from a girl.
Ye Zhou pulled his mouth. The backseat was almost as high as his knees. Can he really sit on it?
Shang Ming braced on the ground with one leg, rested his elbows on the handlebar and said, Quickly get on.
I came all the way here and this is how you treat me?
Its better than your wonderful broken pedicab.
Once the pedicab was mentioned, Ye Zhou remembered Shang Jin and immediately didnt have the inclination to jest anymore. He wanly squatted on the bicycle backseat and, clutching Shang Mings clothes, said, Why so many words. Ride on.
Shang Mings legs pedaled and laboriously dragged Ye Zhou slowly forward. Even more laborious were Ye Zhous shoes. Even if his legs were curled up to the extreme, the shoes were still inseparable from the ground.
In T Unis campus, two boys who were nearly 1.8-meter tall crowded onto a small lady bike. The scene was comparable to a circus bear riding a buggy, comical and hilarious, and it attracted countless T Uni students to stop and take pictures.
Ye Zhou buried his face in Shang Mings back and gnashed his teeth. You deliberately set me up!
Shang Ming also didnt expect the consequences would be so eye-catching. He hatefully said, Where have you seen someone messing with people also messing with himself!
After twenty endless minutes passed, Ye Zhou and Shang Ming finally arrived safely at the dormitory.
There was no one in the dorm on the weekend.
Shang Ming poured out a glass of water for Ye Zhou, sat him in his chair and dragged another stool to the computer. Youre not an impulsive person like me. Say it: whats the problem?
Ye Zhou grabbed his sleeve and said, Shang Jin really confessed to me!!
Oh. Shang Ming looked indifferently at his heart-in-a-panic appearance, pried opened his fingers and said with an expressionless face, My heart has no fluctuation and I even want to laugh a little.
