"Huh...." I let out a long sigh, propping my chin up with my hand as I looked ahead at Su Yuqian in the front row. After two days, this guy finally showed up for school. But he treated me like a stranger, so there was a reason for me to sigh like this. Looking back, I wasn't completely wrong to lose my temper that day. Maybe it was because of the hot weather, my emotions were easily out of control. After two days, I can't say I fully reflected on it, and now I've returned to being a boy who gets overwhelmed by love.
Let me tell you loudly, there was a golden-haired beauty who had been confessed to over fifty times. In the eyes of many, I would have fallen into the group of boys who failed in confessing. But with a five percent chance, I won her heart and eventually started a relationship with her.
Unfortunately, this path wasn't smooth, and now it seems like I've reached a dead end. With my head hanging low, my mood sank along with it. Oh, dear God, please give me a solution.
I spent the class lost in my thoughts. When class ended, Su Yuqian walked out of the classroom, I didn't know where she was going. If I wanted to apologize to her, now might be a good chance.
So I followed her discreetly, taking a few slow steps. It seemed like she was heading to the restroom. There were no hiding spots in the hallway, so when I sensed that Su Yuqian might notice me, I immediately turned around or looked outside the corridor.
What exactly am I doing with all this sneaking around? Wasn't I planning to apologize to her? In that case, I should just go up to her and apologize. But when I remembered the mean things she said that day, I hesitated again, and my mood turned sour. No matter what, those words were too harsh. While I was thinking about all this, Su Yuqian moved further away from me. When I was about to take a few quick steps to catch up, a weak-looking guy suddenly appeared from Su Yuqian's side. He had a mushroom-head hairstyle.
"Um... classmate Yuqian," the weak-looking guy called out. Su Yuqian turned around with no expression on her face and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Um... I'm in the same class as Yuqian. I sit in the second row to your right. My name is Cangmu Jin." Cangmu Jin's forehead was covered in sweat, and he didn't dare to look up.
"So, what do you want from me?"
"Well, actually..." Cangmu Jin stuttered and seemed extremely nervous, even trembling.
"If there's nothing, then I won't bother."
"Well, I like you... Please... please date me," Cangmu Jin said loudly, his body at a ninety-degree angle. This sentence caught the attention of people nearby.
The atmosphere became tense and stifling. Su Yuqian remained silent for a long time, and it seemed like she glanced at me. I immediately turned around.
"She shouldn't have noticed anything, right? What kind of situation is this? Su Yuqian was confessed to again? I'm her boyfriend, after all," I muttered incredulously.
"Take a good look at your face in the mirror," Su Yuqian said coldly before walking away.
"Ah~~~" Cangmu Jin felt embarrassed and covered his face as he ran away. I don't know why, but I felt relieved. When I looked at Su Yuqian again, she was nowhere to be found, probably in the restroom or another classroom. In any case, the tracking failed, so I had no choice but to return the way I came. Su Yuqian also returned to the classroom right before class started.
It seems like there's no suitable opportunity at all, and she even blocked me on social media. Chatting apps and calls are useless. Was it necessary to take it this far?
After several classes, I still didn't find a suitable opportunity, and I noticed that Yuan Muxi also stopped talking to me. Could it be that she now hates me because of what happened before? It's just adding insult to injury.
During lunch break, it turned out that there was no lunchbox for me. Yuan Muxi and Su Yuqian left the classroom together. Yuan Muxi seemed a bit concerned, but Su Yuqian seemed to forcefully take her away.
Seriously, is it all my fault? Is she completely innocent? I complained to myself, but no one would hear me.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated. I took it out and saw a message from An Lisi.
"Are you free, big brother?"
"I'm going to the store," I replied.
"Then let's meet at the store entrance."
"OK," I replied lacklusterly.
When I arrived at the store entrance, An Lisi appeared before my eyes and waved her hand. She was holding something in her hands and ran towards me.
"Big brother," she said happily.
"An Lisi?" I saw her holding two bread rolls in her arms.
"An Lisi, do you also eat bread for lunch?" I asked casually.
"Um, does big brother also come to buy bread?"
"More or less," I replied. Lately, I've been eating a lot of bread. I really want to have a proper meal.
As I was about to walk towards the store, An Lisi suddenly held my hand and smiled, "You don't need to buy anymore. I've already bought it for you."
After saying that, An Lisi gestured towards the bread rolls in her arms.
"Big brother likes eating toast, right? Here you go, this is toast," An Lisi said with a radiant smile.
"This is the bread you bought for yourself... How can I accept it?"
"But, I bought it specifically for you," An Lisi said with a somewhat disappointed expression.
Seeing her like this, I couldn't bear it and took the toast from her. "Then thank you."
"Let's go sit over there," An Lisi said happily, leading me to the same tree as before.
I sat down directly. Although I couldn't have a delicious meal, at least the bread could fill me up, even though it couldn't provide the energy my body needed. How bitter it is. How did I end up like this? I complained in my heart while tearing open the packaging of the bread.
An Lisi sat next to me, happily tearing open a bag of Paul bread. When did An Lisi start to like pineapple bread? Speaking of which, we are sitting too close, it's too hot...
"What flavor is big brother's bread? I... I want to taste it," An Lisi shyly glanced at the bread in my hand.
"You should have already tasted it that day," I said, not wanting to bring it up again because...
An Lisi's face turned as red as a cooked octopus, and she even wanted to use the bread to cover her face, although it was completely meaningless. Her ears were red too, and I could see clearly from the side.
"Mm... Big brother, please don't remind me of that day again."
"Sorry," I said while taking a bite of the bread.
"So... can I taste big brother's bread?"
Pffft, again? I spat out the bread in my mouth, feeling embarrassed.
"I've already bitten this, and besides, toast bread is not that tasty."
"No problem, because I just want to eat the bread in Brother You's hand, of course, I can't take advantage of Brother's generosity completely. I will also let Brother You taste the pineapple bun in my hand."
"It seems like a fair exchange, reasonable..." An Lisi smiled happily. "But I'm sorry, I refuse."
"Why?" An Lisi widened her eyes in surprise.
"Because we are not lovers at all, so doing such ambiguous things will invite gossip."
"Brother You, why are you talking nonsense again?" An Lisi stared at me with a serious look. Her gaze made me instinctively step back.
"Haven't Brother You and I been dating? It's been four days now, although it's still short, and our feelings haven't deepened. But Brother You said you like me, right? I also really like Brother You, so please don't say that we're not lovers. Even if it's a joke, it's not okay, because saying that will hurt An Lisi's heart, and the pain will make her do anything irrational."
I couldn't say anything as if my throat was being choked. Could these be the words spoken by the cheerful An Lisi?
"Brother You just wants to take advantage of me, I knew it, so... Brother You, please taste my bread. I made an effort to leave my own taste for you." The missing piece of bread was wet with saliva.
Can I refuse? When I saw An Lisi's expression as if she was about to feed me the bread, her innocent and pure smile made my hair stand on end.
"Brother You, eat it quickly, or else my taste will disappear." How can I fulfill this request? I directly swept it away with my hand, and An Lisi's bread dropped to the ground.
An Lisi looked at the fallen bread in shock.
"Sorry..." I felt nervous inside, my breathing becoming rapid.
"Why did Brother You treat the bread like this? There's An Lisi's taste on it, are you disgusted? Why would you be disgusted? Normally, you should accept it without any hesitation. This is a bread filled with An Lisi's love, with a very strong affection. Why did you do this? These past two days, Brother You has been ignoring me, and I feel so uneasy. My work is also not going well, I can't do anything without Brother You. Why don't you understand? When Brother You said you liked me, was it a lie? No, Brother You wouldn't lie to me, because that expression was so sincere. Maybe I did something wrong? I must have done something wrong, I'm sorry. I will work hard to become the girlfriend Brother You wants, so please don't treat me like this, okay?" A chill ran down my spine, and my body became stiff, unable to move.
"Brother You's toast is indeed very delicious..." An Lisi took a bite of the bread in my hand without permission, and then said with a happy face, "It's so happy to be with Brother You. I wish time could slow down." An Lisi continued talking to herself.
I had no idea what to say, my brain started to confuse, and I only realized what happened when I returned to the classroom, but I was scared and couldn't move. This must be an illusion, it must be.
