Chapter 130: His Breath Could Be Sensed Coming From Behind
Qi Yan tried to use the lighter. It was the same as the last time she saw it. She had to strike it a few times before flames came out.
That was strange.
Didn’t she give Nan Zhe a new one? Why did he have to keep using this broken one?
It was easy to leave fingerprints on its silver body. After playing with it for a while, her fingerprints quickly covered it and overlapped with Nan Zhe’s.
For some reason, she looked at the marks on it and her thoughts drifted away. Her thoughts suddenly returned to ten years ago.
It was a summer afternoon. The young man was wearing a short-sleeved shirt under the hot sun. His school uniform jacket hung loosely on his shoulders as he sat casually on the parallel bars of the field.
The first class in the afternoon was physical education. Many students slowly gathered on the field.
She walked out of the school building and looked around. She could see that the young man was in high spirits. He was her only focus.
Someone said something to him, and he looked over in the dazzling sunlight with the corner of his shirt blown up by the wind.
A few seconds later, she saw him waving at her.
When she approached, the young man jumped down from the parallel bars. His school uniform slipped from his shoulders. She subconsciously reached out to take it, and their hands collided.
Throuzh the thin fabric, his hand qripped hers tizhtlv.
Fortunately, with this school uniform covering them, no one saw their suddenly clasped hands.
When the bell rang, he let go first.
Stunned, she looked at him holding his jacket. “Brother Nan, your school uniform.”
“Help me hold it.” The young man did not turn around. He took the basketball from Yuan Chi and slowly walked away.
From then on, she seemed to have really become his sidekick. His school uniform jacket would never be with him. It would always appear in her bag, under her desk, and with her.
Once, she forgot to return it to him after school and accidentally carried his school uniform home.
After hesitating for a moment, she helped him wash his school uniform.
The next day, after she returned the jacket, he wore the school uniform for the entire day.
When the evening self-study ended, a few girls in the class teased her in the corridor. “Qi Yan, why do you smell the same as Nan Zhe? Are you so close to him?”
At that time, puppy love was taboo. Everyone could not help but gossip.
Hence, the next day, she and Nan Zhe were gloriously invited to the office.
It was also from then on that she felt that she should indeed keep a distance from Nan Zhe.
Although they were “brothers”, men and women still had to keep a safe distance from each other.
She deliberately distanced herself from him, and the two of them did not speak alone for a long time. Until his birthday…
After the birthday party ended, his driver sent her back.
Nan Zhe was sitting beside her.
The car stopped downstairs. The young man held an umbrella and insisted on sending her up. Although they were only a few steps away from the building, his shoulder was still wet.
At that time, she lived in a dilapidated apartment building with a long corridor. There was a storm, and the entire building was blacked out.
She lived at the top. The young man was silent all the way. He held his phone and followed behind her.
His shadow and breath enveloped her and invaded from behind.
“Qi Yan.”
When they were about to reach her house, the person behind her suddenly spoke.
She stopped and turned around. The young man was standing below her, three steps away from her.
However, at this distance, the two of them were at eye level.
“Do you really care about what people say?”
He raised his wrist and aimed the phone at her. The sudden light shone on her face, and she subconsciously raised her hand to block it.
However, he did not take it away. This scene was very similar to interrogation scenes in television dramas.
It took her a moment to digest what he meant.
Instead of answering, she asked him back.
The young man had one hand in his pocket and a cold expression on his face. “Do I look like someone who cares about gossip? Why should I care about what people say? Or are you bothered by what the teacher said? Is this really puppy love?”
Of course not.
“I like the birthday gift very much. On account of the gift, I’ll forgive you this time. If vou do this again in the future, I won’t give vou a chance.”
The young master had always been arrogant. It was not easy for him to take the initiative to invite her to his birthday party.
“Go on up.”
He did not pester her. He aimed his phone at the steps at the side, enough to light up the rest of the way.
She responded and did not say anything. She turned around and walked up.
After a few seconds, he suddenly caught up with her. “Did you hear what I said? If you do this again, I won’t see you again.”
“There are so many people who can’t wait to be friends with me. Next time, don’t let me take the initiative to express goodwill again, do you hear me?!”
“Mmm.”
“Mmm? What do you mean by that?!”
“I mean… I understand.” She held the cake he had packed for her and smiled standing sideways. She deliberately said, “It’s fine. At most, I’ll take the initiative to express my goodwill next time.”
“Sure, but is that the point?”
“Why not?”
After a short silence, the young man seemed to want to compromise, but he was also a little reluctant. In the end, he was overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness.
“Qi Yan, don’t do this again.”
“Okay,” she replied seriously.
“No matter what, I got wet after sending you up.” Under her gaze, he threw his wet school uniform jacket into her arms. “Wash it clean and return it to me on
Monday.”
After Nan Zhe ordered a meal, he went out again.
When he returned, the takeout had yet to arrive.
The employees on the first floor greeted him. He nodded casually and returned to the second floor with the medicine.
When he went upstairs, he heard the group of people downstairs discussing him and Qi Yan. Without listening, he knew that they were gossiping about their relationship.
He did not mind and went straight into the lounge.
Before he left, he especially turned off the lights in the room, leaving only a small table lamp on the table.
Qi Yan fell asleep.
She was lying there in the same position as when he left, with a pillow under her arm. When he approached, he realized that she was still holding his lighter.
He pursed his lips and reached out to take the lighter out of her hand. The cold casing was already warm.
Qi Yan slept lightly and woke up at the slightest touch.
When she saw the person in front of her clearly, she was about to get up in a
daze.
“Don’t move yet. I’ll apply the plaster on you before you get up.” “Oh…” She lay back down like a salted fish on a chopping block.
She could not help but yawn, and her eyelids slowly drooped.
When she felt the clothes at the back of her waist being lifted up, she blinked and did not move.
Immediately after, there was a rustling sound behind her. Before she could turn around, she suddenly felt a warmth on her waist.
Through the layer of plaster, his palm happened to be pressed on her waist. Unlike the previous massage through her clothes, she could really feel the warmth of his palm this time..
