She is soft on my heart

Chapter 17 Closer Than This

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and there was no intention of stopping.

For the first time in her life, when Li Xing listened to footsteps, her brain would automatically and accurately match a face, and her strong intuition made her a little flustered.

"Hey, Li Xingchen." The person behind shouted.

This vocal line is low and deep, with natural magnetism, graininess is obvious but not abrupt, the end is a little raised, and the tone is always lazy and recognizable.

Li Xingshen's footsteps paused, and his heart tightened accordingly.

He didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, did he?
The other two people also stopped when they heard the sound, and looked towards the person coming.

After seeing who it was, Qiu Qize's face changed slightly, and although Jiang Xingye had never dealt with him, he recognized him in less than a second.

The sound of footsteps approached and stopped, and a tall gray shadow covered the side of him, blocking the strong sunlight.

There is a touch of refreshing mint fragrance.

Li Xingchen pursed his lips and did not move.

Jiang Cong had already changed his jersey. Due to the height difference, he bent down, leaned close to her ear, and said in a volume that only two people could hear: "Are you really going to the Qinzheng Building?"

Li Xingchen: "..."

After a moment of silence, she explained softly, "I didn't do it on purpose, I went to pick up the book, and then..."

Jiang Cong nodded, and before she could finish speaking, he said first, "I know, I'm lost, aren't I?"

Li Xingchen: "..."

They were very close, and when the boy spoke, his breath sprayed on the ear pinnae, which was obviously only warm, but when it fell, it was twice as hot and slightly itchy.

The tips of her white ears burned up, and she carefully moved to the side in centimeters, pulling away a little distance, still not daring to look at him.

Jiang Cong watched her move slowly, with a flushed side face, paused for a moment, and then smiled.

A low and melodious chuckle rang in his ears, and Li Xingchen quickly glanced at him.

This should be not angry...

Jiang Xingye looked at Jiang Cong from such an inappropriate distance, thinking that Li Xingchen's reaction was resistance, he frowned deeply, and looked a little cold.

He knew the person's reputation, and he had heard about the background behind him.

A few seconds later, Jiang Xingye's brows relaxed, and with a gentle smile, he interrupted seemingly casually: "Are you Jiang Cong?"

It can be regarded as a rescue after weighing the appropriate method.

Qiu Qize next to him glanced at him, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Jiang Cong didn't respond immediately when he heard the question, but stared at her trembling eyelashes for a few seconds before straightening up.

Li Xing Shen closed his eyes and let out a soft breath, all the villains in his heart collectively thanked Senior Jiang.

When Jiang Cong raised his eyelids to look at the inquirer, the smile in his eyes had faded away, he glanced up and down, and silently said two words: Who are you?
"You may not know me, but I know you..." He paused, then smiled, and his tone became a little thought-provoking: "Because you are quite famous."

Although Jiang Xingye was gentle and elegant, he did not lose his aura. When he spoke, his eyes did not avoid or avoid them. His eyes looked at him calmly, but with a hint of a knife edge.

Jiang Cong met him head-on, his eyes remained the same, no different from seeing any passer-by A, B, C, Ding in normal times.

They could be regarded as two celebrities in the school, and they could also be regarded as two extremes in the school. Their eyes collided on this school road, which attracted a lot of attention and whispers.

After a while of silence, Jiang Cong's expression finally changed. He frowned, usually showing impatient waiting, "So, what's the matter with you Zhang San?"

Jiang Xingye subconsciously asked, "What Zhang San?"

"Don't mention the name, all Zhang San."

"...I'm Jiang Xingye."

"Oh." Jiang Cong raised his eyebrows, "What do you want?"

"……fine."

"It's okay, why are you calling me?" Jiang Cong's expression completely changed into annoyance at being interrupted for no reason.

Jiang Xingye: "..." Stay away from the girl and I won't call you anymore...

Jiang Xingye glanced at Li Xingchen, "I think you and this junior seem to know each other, are you... classmates?"

"Student in the same class?" Jiang Cong repeated, with a half-smile, "It's more than that..."

He tilted his head to Li Xingchen, his eyes turned sideways, and said leisurely: "We are closer than this."

Li Xingchen: "..."

Jiang Xingye observed Li Xingchen's expression, and felt that it was definitely not what Jiang Cong meant, but she didn't argue, which made him a little puzzled and worried.

"It's really more than that..." Qiu Qize, who had been silent beside him, said.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Xingye looked at him, and Jiang Cong also glanced over. Qiu Qize said truthfully, "They are still at the same table."

Jiang Xingye: "..."

After digesting for a long time, his brows seemed to loosen, as if a small stone had fallen to the ground in his heart.

Jiang Cong glanced around among the three of them, not intending to say anything in front of the two outsiders, and raised his foot to leave.

But as soon as he passed the three of them, he stopped again. Li Xingshen's heart tensed and tightened with his movements, just like riding a roller coaster.

He glanced around among the three of them again, and finally fixed his eyes on the two sets of school uniforms in the arms of the little girl.

As if he was thinking about something, a few seconds later, he stretched out his big hand and picked up the school uniform.

"...", Li Xingshen subconsciously wanted to snatch it back, "Thank you..."

She wanted to say "thank you, no need", but the words got stuck in her throat.

Because in the next second, Jiang Cong left and right, and the two sets of school uniforms landed firmly on the half-stack of books that Qiu Qize and Jiang Xingye were holding.

Jiang Cong glanced around for the third time, nodded this time with satisfaction, then looked down at her, and before leaving gracefully, he said generously, "You're welcome."

The three of them collectively: "..."

Jiang Cong walked slowly but with long strides, and he distanced himself from the three of them in a short while.

"If you don't feel comfortable sitting there, I can help you talk to the teacher about changing your seat." On the way, Qiu Qize said.

Jiang Xingye immediately said: "That's right, elementary school girl, if you encounter something, you must tell it in time, don't be afraid."

Li Xingshen nodded subconsciously, but realized something was wrong after clicking. Did they think Jiang Cong was bullying her?

She was a little nervous just now, but she was more guilty. After all, although it was unintentional, she did eavesdrop on someone's speech.

As for Jiang Cong, although he looked a bit fierce, after getting along for a few days, Li Xingchen felt that he was not as domineering and overbearing as others said. Apart from not studying, he never disturbed others.

So she explained: "You may have misunderstood, and I don't know how to explain it specifically, but it is definitely not what you think."

Qiu Qize didn't say any more, Jiang Xingye still frowned uncomfortably, "Nothing is the best, if there is something, you must say it."

Li Xing nodded silently, a little absent-minded.

She couldn't help thinking that everyone seemed to have defined Jiang Cong for granted, but they hadn't really come into contact with him, including her.

Jiang never returned to work, and went directly to the fourth floor. Coincidentally, the target directly hit the muzzle of the gun.

Bai Daiyi sighed secretly when he saw his coming, turned around and ran away, but was caught from behind without any suspense.

He smiled mischievously, and began to slip his lips: "Look for me, Brother Cong, we just separated not long ago, so you don't want me to think so impatiently, do you?"
