Dear boy, it's been a long time

Chapter 9 If the facts you said mean that I like him, then I can admit it
【1】

It was from Zhu Yan that Wen Juefei finally learned that he had been rumored on the school BBS.After she came out of the hospital, it took a lot of effort to secretly stuff the watch and the gift box into Lu Zize's bag, and she hurried back to the dormitory as if she was fleeing.

As soon as she pushed open the bedroom door, she saw Zhu Yan nestled in her chair, her nightgown was not adjusted properly, her hair was disheveled and she was holding her phone as if she was flirting with the keyboard warrior.The visual effect that can only be achieved after being ravaged by someone is too shocking. Wen Juefei stood at the door for a long time before turning his head and asking his roommate who was completely immersed in the game: "What's wrong with Zhu Yan?"

Before the roommate could be distracted to answer, Zhu Yan who heard the voice rushed over, took Wen Juefei's hand and looked at it carefully.Noticing anything unusual, she frowned and asked, "Where is the watch that Lu Zize gave you?"

Wen Juefei's first reaction was to answer truthfully: "Give it back to him. It's too expensive and I won't accept it." After speaking, he came to his senses and asked, "How do you know he gave me a watch?"

"It's not just me? The whole world knows about it, okay? And your watch and his are a couple's model. Once the sneak photo was released, the entire Lu Zize support club exploded. You don't know how many people envy you." ..." The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, Zhu Yan walked back to her seat in a daze, collapsed powerlessly, and continued the previous position, "Life is really impermanent. So many people dream of the gift they can get, You thought it was too expensive, so you insisted on returning it. Let’s not talk about how much it’s worth, the point is that it was given by Lu Zize. There is a little sister in the support group, even the mineral water bottle that Lu Zize handed her when he gave her cool You really don’t know how humble we are..."

The person I like actually likes my best friend, this kind of bloody drama can really happen so unreasonably.She originally thought that she was not lucky enough to be liked by him, so even in the face of his sudden change after showing affection, she couldn't pursue anything... But how could he, how could he change so quickly?

It was only then that Wen Juefei realized that her good friend, although pretending not to care all the time, actually cared very, very much about Huan Lu Zize.She walked over to touch Zhu Yan's hair, and said softly: "Because I think that he and I are just ordinary friends, so if I accept such an expensive gift, I don't know how to repay it. I'm sorry."

Zhu Yan looked up at Wen Juefei, not used to such a sad relationship between two people, she deliberately winked and imitated Wen Juefei's expression of aggrieved expression, pursed her lips and scolded her: "Idiot, why are you saying sorry?"

Wen Juefei replied solemnly: "As your good friend, I should keep a longer distance from the person you like, instead of letting you misunderstand that we are having an affair, and then hurting you. I'm really sorry."

"Silly you, I don't mean to blame you. You are so nice, I wish the whole world could like you and treat you well, so that I don't have to worry about you being wronged outside. As for him not liking me, it's really It's too normal, isn't there a saying like this - the person I like also likes me, it's like the Queen Mother showing her spirit..."

Wen Juefei corrected in time: "It's 'the person you like also likes you, it feels like a miracle'."

"Yes, yes, I am a materialist after all. It is normal not to be favored by miracles. Moreover, this can only prove that I am not the type he likes, but you are. It cannot explain who is more important between you and me." Value and the like, it is even less likely to become a gap between me and you..."

The more I spoke, the lower my voice seemed, no matter how hard I could convince myself, no matter how hard I could ignore the loss and grievance in my heart.Zhu Yan paused, and looked into Wen Juefei's eyes: "The main reason is that it's too difficult to hate you. Since I was a child, I only want to treat you well when I see you, and I can't do anything stupid to hurt you."

Wen Juefei's heart was about to melt, seeing Zhu Yan's sad expression that gradually lost control, he felt as if he was being scratched by sharp claws.She hurriedly explained to Zhu Yan: "Listen to me, it's really not what you think. You know why I became friends with him. My mother has been taken care of by him. I am really grateful It's just him. I didn't expect it to become like this. He said he would give me that watch as a birthday present, but I didn't accept it. As for the couple's model, I don't even understand..."

"I know, it's not your fault." Zhu Yan raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I was too sentimental and misunderstood him. I thought he was interested in me because he wanted to look at me more, and thought he would say a few words to me Words are love, how can it be that simple?"

The more he explained, the more he suspected of sophistry. Wen Juefei was completely anxious, frowned and stomped his feet coquettishly, and said, "I'm so annoying, why do people say that every time a boy appears around me, he is my flirtatious object?"

The reason is very simple, one, she is really pretty; two, those men are really plotting evil.In this age of instant love, I have never seen a few boys who really have the mentality of making friends to meet a opposite sex. If they are not interested in you, why waste time and expressions on you?Although this statement is straightforward, it has obviously become the default value of many people.

Zhu Yan thought about it, raised her face at a 45-degree angle and looked up at the bright lighting sadly. The phone suddenly rang, and she glanced at the message. Immediately, Li Yu sat upright and began to tap with the phone, and her mouth was also angry. He scolded: "I must kill this group of idiots who slander you, they are just shameless, as long as they are good-looking girls, they must be vixen? Why are their thoughts so dirty? If it weren't for that post It was suddenly deleted, I must crawl over the network cable and beat that so-called 'eating grape skins' so that even the decomposed anthocyanin molecules in the grape skins are spit out!"

Wen Juefei felt horrified by such a cruel and scientifically supported speech, and began to wonder whether Zhu Yan was a student of the Law School or the School of Biological Sciences. On the contrary, he had no interest in the slanderous posts she said.She hates gossip, doesn't like to browse BBS, and is immune to everyone's behavior of making a fuss at every turn, thinking that it's just some boring people spreading news.But 3 minutes later, after listening to Zhu Yan's statement, and briefly looking at screenshots of some deleted posts, the rising sense of humiliation and anger filled her heart.

"Can you find out who that 'eating grape skins' is?"

Zhu Yan was taken aback, patted her head and said, "Real-name registration is required for freshmen to register for the BBS. If you want to check, you can definitely find out. I know a senior from the Academy of Science and Technology, who seems to be in charge of operating the BBS."

Wen Juefei nodded, as if he suddenly remembered something, he opened his schoolbag and took out the bouquet of wood spring chrysanthemums that Bai Jianxing had given him, and began to tidy up carefully with his eyes lowered: "Then ask for me."

Ten minutes later, Zhu Yan said, "I found it, it's Qin Wan, a freshman in the Department of International Trade."

At this moment, those few chrysanthemums have been well placed in the exquisite soda bottle, and they are stretching their soft waist under the fibrous fingers.Wen Juefei glanced at the time and said, "Can you find her?"

Zhu Yan was a little surprised: "Why are you looking for her?"

"Let's talk. Since she cares about me so much, if I don't express my gratitude properly, I can't justify it."

"She also wanted to join the chess team of the Chess Club and added me on WeChat." Zhu Yan, the current team leader of the chess team, scratched the back of her head and was about to say "I'll go with you", when Wen Juefei carefully filled the The vase of flowers was placed next to the table, and she said to Zhu Yan, "Send it to me if you ask, and I'll go buy her some small gifts first."

Looking at Wen Juefei's straight back going out, Zhu Yan rubbed her nose thoughtfully. She must be mad and stupid, right?Buying gifts for those who first-hand spread rumors about her, is like those celebrities who are willing to spend tens of millions to buy materials that paparazzi secretly photographed?Is such a curve to save the country?

However, the fact is that Wen Juefei walked to the convenience store downstairs of the apartment next door with a blank face and bought a fresh egg.The billboard said "the farm's own eggs." When paying the bill, she casually asked the proprietress, "Are these eggs laid by your chickens?"

The proprietress waved her hand: "No, what age is it, how can anyone raise chickens and wait until it lays eggs?"

Wen Juefei was speechless for a while, thinking that the proprietress is also a real person. Although the realism and irony contained in the words are very unique, if they meet Zhu Yan, the two of them will have to talk about the current severe food safety issues and false advertising issues. Debates are not allowed.

As soon as she thought of Zhu Yan, her message immediately came in, with Qin Wan's dormitory number written on it, saying that Qin Wan was leisurely watching Korean dramas in the dormitory right now.

Wen Juefei sneered and went straight to Qin Wan's bedroom, knocked on the door and asked the shocked door opener, "Is Qin Wan there?"

The person who opened the door was frightened by her cold and ruthless aura, and stepped aside obediently.

Wen Juefei went straight in, walked towards Qin Wan, who was wearing a pajamas, wearing a mask and earphones, watching a drama, and gently patted her on the shoulder.

Qin Wan, who was fascinated by watching, was interrupted, and impatiently pulled off the earphones and turned her head. When she saw Wen Juefei's smiling face, she couldn't see the change in her expression at that moment because she was wearing a mask, but she could see it from her eyes. It can be known that it is changing rapidly and exciting.Wen Juefei looked at her fixedly: "Are you the one who posted the post 'eating grape skins'?"

Qin Wan panicked, her eyes flickered with guilt, she almost subconsciously blurted out: "No, it's not me..."

Wen Juefei sneered: "It's not you? Then why are you panicking?" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled out her right hand, and stuffed the egg he just bought into her hand, his wax-like face was as cold as a mask A layer of frost, "Come on, fry. Didn't you say, 'If Wen Jue is a clean girl, I will fry eggs in my palm for you'? If you can't cook eggs today, you will have good fruit to eat."

Qin Wan didn't expect this to happen, she was so shocked that the mask almost fell off, her voice trembled unconsciously: "You, how do you know it's me?"

Wen Juefei's voice became colder and colder: "May you just monitor me 24 hours a day and not allow me to pay attention to you a little bit? Girl, there may be many reasons why you can't get what you like, but I suggest you do it more often." Find the reason in yourself. If you can’t get it, then blame others, it can only show that your character is also very average. Ask yourself, is this behavior worthy of the person you like?”

Qin Wan looked at Wen Juefei's face, countless images flashed in her mind, she was so wronged that she almost cried.She threw the egg to the ground angrily, and the egg slurry burst out from the broken shell and flowed all over the floor.She tore off the mask, covered her face and cried, "I just can't stand you like that! Every day you just pretend to be noble, you look like you're not close to fireworks, and you only seduce men behind your back!"

Wen Juefei glanced at the egg whites all over the floor, frowned, covered his nose, and said, "I originally wanted to knock the egg on your hand, but I thought the egg was not fresh and might be very fishy. That's right."

Qin Wan's face flushed from crying, her facial features were all wrinkled together: "Why are you pretending to be a good person here?"

"I didn't think about pretending. People who know me will know what kind of person I am. I never put in effort to show others. This is a society ruled by law, and everyone is a law-abiding citizen. I can't really eat it. You, but it is an established fact that you spread rumors to smear me, you must post clarifications and apologize to me."

"Creating rumors to smear you? Aren't the things between you and Lu Zize and Bai Jianxing true?"

"Lu Zize and I are just ordinary friends. If you ask Lu Zize about this relationship, you will get the same answer."

Qin Wan immediately caught the loophole in the words, and asked sharply: "What about Bai Jianxing? What do you mean, the things with Bai Jianxing are all facts?"

"..."

Wen Juefei felt quite tired. The pretty girl in front of her was really good material for a gossip reporter. She should be advised to quickly transfer to the journalism major and stop wasting resources in the Department of International Trade.

"If you're telling the truth that I like him, then I can admit it."

……

It didn't take Wen Juefei much effort to settle Qin Wan. When the post of apology was posted, Wen Juefei was just waiting for the on-campus bus back to the North Campus.After swiping the card, he turned around and saw Bai Jianxing sitting in the back row. While feeling excited, he couldn't help sighing at the arrangement of fate, which was really timely and wonderful.He wore a dark gray sweater over a white shirt, and matched it with a black suit coat. The sharp collar line set off his face more three-dimensionally.He was quietly looking at her who got into the car, and the light above his head fell on his tall nose, giving off a faint light.

Wen Juefei sat next to him almost without thinking, she didn't realize that he didn't smile when he looked at her this time.There were three seats in a row, and he was originally sitting in the middle, but the moment Wen Juefei sat down, he got up and moved to the innermost seat.Bai Jianxing's voice was like the dew that had not yet frozen in the early morning of winter: "It doesn't seem suitable for us to sit so close now."

Wen Juefei looked at him in surprise, his eyes looking forward were as dull as his expression, like a thick fog.She asked, "Did you see the post on the BBS?" She couldn't wait for his answer, so she explained to herself, "I don't have two boats with one foot."

Some urgent explanations were heard in Bai Jianxing's ears, and it was a move that he didn't want to continue to misunderstand after being troubled.So what could he have misunderstood?It's nothing more than being self-indulgent and thinking that he is one of the two boats. He has tried his best but still can't get the slightest trust and dependence from her.

He could only nod lightly, his voice like smoke: "Of course I know."

One sentence blocked all her explanations. He said he knew, but Wen Juefei felt that he didn't know.

She was silent for a while, Bai Jianxing guessed that after the post came out, Lu Zize negotiated with her and asked her to draw a line with him, at this moment she was having a hard time talking.

She is really not good at doing these things. Although she always looks like a cold-faced little girl, she has a soft heart and is not willing to hurt anyone at all.After holding back for a while, she said again: "I like that bouquet of chrysanthemums very much. I added some vitamin C tablets to the water in the vase. It is said that it can last for many days."

It's simply not her style.Bai Jianxing continued with a cold face and said, "It's pretty good."

Wen Juefei wanted to laugh, but he couldn't, so he coughed dryly.The bus finally started, and amidst the overwhelming sound of the engine, she lowered her voice and said, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." It's really okay.He didn't want to care about why she apologized, whether he was hurt or not, no matter what she did, he just wanted to answer: It's okay.

Wen Juefei finally grasped a bit of tenderness and love in these three words, and couldn't help but sit up straight, wanting to tell him his heart seriously.This unreasonable seriousness made Bai Jianxing inexplicably nervous, he was afraid that she would still muster up the courage to say something like breaking off the relationship, he didn't want to suddenly face another loss after the lost and recovered, even if the lost and recovered itself does not exist.

Wen Juefei said: "Bai Jianxing, I don't know how to say something..."

She filled her eyes with anticipation and joy, but it was a pity that he didn't look at him, he just stared at the back of the chair in front of him, and blocked her with one sentence in a cold tone: "Then stop talking!" .”

The balloon, which was inflated like it was about to fly, was stepped into the icy purgatory with a single sentence, and it was blown to pieces with a "bang".Wen Juefei felt that something was collapsing in his mind, and Zhu Yan's crying words suddenly sounded in his ears, saying: "I was too sentimental and misunderstood him. I thought he was interested in me because he wanted to look at me more." , I thought it was love if he said a few more words to me, but how could it be that simple?"

She never thought that it would be like this. He even refused to give her the chance to confess.

Wen Juefei felt her face ache from shame, her most important self-esteem was being thrown on the ground and trampled on the ground, all the emotions accumulated throughout the day were overturned at this moment, and her every strand was covered with mud. nerve.

"Let's try to keep a distance as much as possible in the future, so as not to attract any rumors." Bai Jianxing tried his best to sound relaxed, but all the images in his mind were Lu Zize and Wen Juefei standing together, no matter how hard he tried Lingering.He slowly closed his eyes, forced himself to stop thinking, and said with a little tiredness in his voice, "It's too troublesome."

"Okay." Wen Juefei agreed lightly, and would not bother you anymore.

From then on until they got off the car, neither of them said a word.
