Fang Hui felt like an outsider. Surrounded by the affection between Li Chaowen and her roommate, she felt uncomfortable all over.
Watching Li Chaowen gently wipe the sauce from her roommate's mouth, she realized for the first time that the person she had secretly loved for the past ten years might never reciprocate her feelings. She was really getting a bit tired.
Just as she was lost in thought, the boy next to her spoke again, "Jingjing, can I pursue you?"
Fang Hui was taken aback and looked up into the boy's eyes. He was blushing, but his gaze was unusually intense.
She turned her head to look at Li Chaowen again. He sat there expressionless, his eyes cold and frightening.
Fang Hui felt a pang in her heart. He was always like this. No matter what happened, he always appeared unfazed. Even if the sky were to fall, he probably wouldn’t react much.
He must have always known about her feelings for him, right? But he had never taken it to heart. In his eyes, she would always just be a friend.
Fang Hui suddenly felt very tired. She had liked him for ten years and waited for ten years. She was really getting a bit tired.
She turned back to the boy and smiled slightly, "Sure."
"Really?" The boy stood up excitedly, "Are you serious?"
"Mm." Fang Hui nodded with a smile.
"That's great!" The boy exclaimed as he hugged her tightly, "That's great, Jingjing, that's great..."
Fang Hui was startled and instinctively pushed him away when she heard a loud "bang" nearby.
She turned her head and saw Li Chaowen standing there with a dark expression on his face. He stared at her intensely, his eyes red as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Fang Hui's heart skipped a beat, and just as she was about to speak, her roommate suddenly stepped in front of her.
She looked at Li Chaowen with concern on her face, " A Yu, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Chaowen remained silent, merely watching Fang Hui quietly.
His roommate quickly grabbed his hand, intertwining their fingers. " A Yu, if you feel unwell, just tell me. Don't scare me, okay?"
Li Chaowen still did not speak, his gaze darkly fixed on Fang Hui.
Fang Hui looked at their clasped hands, and the last glimmer of hope in her heart was completely extinguished.
She forced a smile and turned her gaze away. "Are you full? Let's go."
"Mm." The roommate nodded and pulled Li Chaowen outside.
As they passed by Fang Hui, Li Chaowen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He looked at her, hesitating to speak. "Xiao Jing..."
"Jing Jing, let's go," the boy urged as he pulled Fang Hui away.
Fang Hui was led away by the boy.
When they reached the door, she instinctively glanced back.
Li Chaowen was still standing there, his deep gaze fixed on her.
Beside him, his roommate was tightly holding his hand.
Fang Hui withdrew her gaze, took a deep breath, and forced a smile. "Let's go."
The boy took her to a dessert shop.
He ordered several desserts and pushed them in front of her. "Try these; I heard that eating something sweet can help when you're feeling down."
Fang Hui was taken aback and met the boy's gaze.
He shyly smiled. "I've heard about what happened to you..."
"..." Fang Hui lowered her head. "You know everything?"
"Mm." The boy nodded. "Are you... okay?"
"..." Fang Hui smiled faintly. "I'm doing fine."
"That's good." The boy smiled back. "Actually, I think that kind of person isn't worth your feelings at all."
Fang Hui remained silent, quietly eating the dessert.
The boy didn't mind and continued talking to her. "By the way, my name is Chen Hao; you can just call me Xiao Zhou."
"..." Fang Hui was surprised and looked up. "You also have the surname He?"
"Yeah," Chen Hao smiled. "We're from the same family."
Fang Hui looked at the smile on his face, and her heart trembled slightly.
It seemed she had developed a bit of affection for this boy.
In the evening, Chen Hao invited her out for a walk. The two strolled slowly on the playground, neither of them speaking, yet the atmosphere was warm and pleasant. Chen Hao carefully took her hand, and seeing that she did not resist, he gradually tightened his grip.
Fang Hui looked at the hand he was holding and felt a sense of calm wash over her. It seemed she had completely let go of Li Chaowen. Just as she was thinking about this, a familiar voice suddenly reached her ears: "Xiao Jing..."
Fang Hui paused, turned her head, and saw Li Chaowen standing not far away. He looked at her, hesitating to speak: "Xiao Jing, I..."
Chen Hao frowned and tightened his hold on Fang Hui's shoulders. "Jingjing, let's go." Fang Hui nodded and did not glance at Li Chaowen again as she turned to leave with Chen Hao.
She did not see the deep gaze that Li Chaowen had on her back. On the way back to her dormitory with Chen Hao, Li Chaowen sent a WeChat message: "Xiao Jing, where are you?"
Fang Hui did not reply and blocked out everything from the outside world. It was only when she finished revising her paper late at night that she saw Chen Hao's message. The time was eleven o'clock.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
Just five short words without much explanation, seeming like a casual inquiry. Fang Hui smiled and replied: "Yes."
"Then see you tomorrow."
"Goodnight."
Fang Hui looked at his message and felt a sense of tranquility in her heart. She sensed that Chen Hao seemed to have something he wanted to tell her. She was curious about what he would say to her.
