You are like the warm sun

Chapter 99 Why don’t you want to participate?
Shao Zhouci looked at the girl at the end of the line, and ripples gradually appeared in his dark brown eyes.

He had indeed lied just now.

Seeing her standing with that boy, he felt it was an eyesore, but at the same time as the annoyance, another emotion came up, which was inferiority.

Tang Wan and the top student in their class shared common goals and interests. They stood in the sunshine, a bright road ahead, while he was in the gutter, shielded from the light. She reached out to him, bringing in the light, and he stood there, watching, not daring to touch it, afraid of tainting it, afraid of being burned by it.

But he couldn't help the dark desire that rose in his heart, wanting to pull her in and stain her with his own colors.

How despicable.

I've never wanted to hold onto someone so much, to hold her tightly by my side, not wanting to let go...

Appearance reflects the heart, and his expression now must be very annoying.

The slender and thin boy slowly raised one hand and covered half of his face. A dark shadow covered his expressionless handsome cheek. He looked at the girl's slender figure through the gaps between his fingertips, and his thin red lips were pursed until they turned a little pale.

Tang Wan, regret it now.

Two months hadn't even arrived yet, and while he hadn't made up his mind, as long as she changed her mind, he would pretend nothing had happened, suppress all the emotions surging in his heart, and stay away from her...

In his sight, the girl who had placed the order turned around and waved the order in her hand at him with a gentle and bright smile.

His thoughts froze and his heart beat violently.

At this moment, all the psychological preparation he had just made collapsed in an instant, and only her figure was reflected in his eyes.

Tang Wan, who was across the street, saw him motionless and realized that something was amiss with him. Just as she was about to go over, the waiter called out her order number, "Number 36, do you want to take it away, or drink it now?"

"No need to pack it, just give it to me."

Tang Wan reached out to take the cold milk tea and straw, as well as a complimentary milk lollipop.

She took the things back to the boy and looked closely, but saw that his expression was normal. She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe she was too sensitive. "Here."

She handed him the lollipop.

After he took it, she tore open the straw and inserted it into the milk tea cup, took a sip of the icy milk tea, and immediately felt the heat in her body dissipate.

Drink it cool in summer and you will feel refreshed.

Shao Zhouci put the lollipop into his pocket and called her in a hoarse voice, "Tang Wan."

"Hmm?" She turned her head and answered him, her beautiful almond eyes squinting in the sunlight.

"You don't want to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad. Why?"

Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You heard everything?"

Shao Zhouci's chest trembled slightly as he hummed, looking down at her. "You haven't answered me yet, why don't you want to participate?"

She slowly sipped her milk tea and explained, "Well, it's too much trouble. I still have to go to summer camp. Besides, this is a national competition, and there are so many math experts in the country. It won't be my turn to win the prize. The final exam is coming soon, so I shouldn't waste this time."

He narrowed his eyes and pondered her argument, but found it unconvincing.

"You really want to get into NTU, you shouldn't give up this opportunity."

"There's still a year left. If I work harder, I can pass the exam," she said, raising her head confidently. "Trust me."

Shao Zhouci frowned.

Although he was a little self-indulgent, he vaguely felt that she didn't want to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad because of him.
