Chapter 61: Mysterious Note (Three)
"Qiao Anyu Liang, I...I like you." Ling Feng was a bit nervous and couldn't help but stutter. He saw Qiao Anyu Liang not saying a word, thinking she was waiting for him to continue, as if he had received great encouragement, and spoke out his innermost thoughts.
Qiao Anyu just felt that there were sound waves entering her ears, vibrating the eardrum, and the specific frequency and amplitude were automatically ignored by the central nervous system without being converted into language.
"Oh, I see." She looked at him with a wandering gaze and muttered this inexplicable sentence.
"Then, can you accept me?" Ling Feng launched another attack, not fierce, but with a "boom" sound that exploded in Qiao Anyu's cool and carefree mind, bringing her back to the real world.
"Sorry, can't." Qiao Anyu finally replied to him clearly, she was hesitant about her "confession" to Su Yuzhe, let alone a stranger.
Then Qiao An Yu Lian fled in disarray.
She didn't stop to catch her breath until she turned around and made sure Ling Feng wasn't following her. The whole thing had happened too suddenly, she hadn't even had time to process the fact that the note wasn't written by Su Yu Che before she was inexplicably confessed to by a boy she didn't know. What a dramatic turn of events! Her own fairy tale fantasy had been shattered by this terrible confession.
Su Yu Zhe, it wasn't you after all.
She looked up at the sky, on the deep blue night curtain, the moon was quietly hanging, emitting a warm light all over, just like Su Yu Zhe's gentle smile. Her nose turned sour, a transparent liquid slid down from the corner of her eyes and flowed into her mouth, it was salty, it was bitter.
A young girl who has just come of age experiences heartache for the first time.
"Hey, woman. I just watched a great play. Do you want to hear about the plot?" Suddenly, Shu Zimo's eerie voice came from behind, scaring Qiao Anyu who was still in shock and sentimental, almost making her turn around and run away again.
"Shu Zimo, you're so bored! Is it fun to snoop on other people's privacy?" Qiao Anyu swallowed her tears and turned around, hands on her hips, looking like a shrew. She knew what he was going to say. Since the start of sophomore year, he had been "escorting" her home, no, following behind her, without missing a single day, as if being a "bodyguard" had become his main job, and he was just a diligent employee doing his duty. He must have seen everything that just happened.
"Girl, you've rejected another suitor? Tsk tsk, she's really not to be underestimated. No looks, no figure, yet the suitors are still lining up like a dragon. The young people these days, their standards are getting lower and lower." Shu Zimo walked up with a chuckle, intending to tease her thoroughly, but when he saw the remaining tears in her eyes, he was taken aback.
"Hey, woman, you wouldn't be regretting and crying over rejecting an excellent bachelor in a moment of impulsiveness, would you?" Shu Zimo was quite puzzled, what's there to cry about?
"Shu Zimo, are you a man or not! Otherwise, why are you so gossipy and nagging?" Qiao Anyu dodged his question, retorted with a sharp tongue, and then quickly ran away. She didn't want him to see her weak side at all.
Even if she weeps in front of the whole world, she will never show weakness in front of Shu Zimo.
While running, the paper slips out of the pocket and is gently held by the wind, falling slowly.
Shu Zimo grasped it and let go to take a look. No matter how much he didn't love studying, he knew that this famous poem "To the Oak" expressed love.
At first glance, the handwriting looks very much like Su Yu Zhe's, but upon closer inspection, there are still differences. No matter how hard a person tries to change their writing habits, there will always be some flaws.
This is not Su Yu Zhe's handwriting, but a certain woman mistakenly thought it was. However, the fact proved otherwise, so she... shed tears? Shu Zi Mo's studies were not good, but his mind was not stupid, and in three to five minutes, he roughly pieced together the cause and effect of the whole thing.
So her tears were because of Su Yu Zhe?
He recalled her eyes shining with tears and felt a pang of pain somewhere in his heart.
Illusion, it must be!
He shook his head and sighed, women are really foolish, loving to get entangled in complicated situations, insisting on hanging themselves on Su Yuze's tree, and still thinking they're being devoted.
Qiao Anyu had already scolded Shu Zimo in her heart, and unexpectedly kept running into him when she was down on her luck. This wasn't rubbing salt in the wound! The way to turn defeat into victory was: grab his weakness and turn the tables on him!
The girl's heart soon walked out of the shadow of the incident and began to think about how to avenge Shu Zimo's frame-up.
