And while running, he started taking off his uniform and ran towards Ye Jian.
“Why did you come back in only short-sleeves? How are things at home? Is everything okay?”
Ye Jian watched as Yang Heng rushed before her. She raised her head and smiled: “I hurried back to school and didn’t have time to change my clothes. I’ve only come back after everything was okay at home, eleven days had passed before I even realized.”
“Well, you did take a long break from school this time. As long as everything at home’s okay, then that’s good. Also, it’s barely eleven degrees today; when you left home, didn’t you know you should bring a jacket?” Yang Heng spoke, and he draped his uniform over her shoulders, “Wear this for now when going back to your dorm, don’t catch a cold now.”
Ye Jian wouldn’t put on his jacket and quickly raised her hand to block his approaches, “I’m not cold. I ran all the way here, so my back still feels hot from it.”
Under the leafless camphor tree, someone’s gaze shot at them like an arrow. When she saw Yang Heng try to drape his shirt over Ye Jian, a hint of dreadful resentment flashed in the depths of Yao Jing’s still pupils; she balled her fists tightly in the shadows.
“Jing Jing, why must you be so?” Wang Dandan retracted her gaze and used her body to cut off Yao Jing’s line of sight. She spoke with furrowed brows: “Look at you and what you’ve become during the past ten days? Yang Heng and Ye Jian are close, and only that, what are you trying to think the worst possible outcome for?”
On the other side, Yue Mei also persuaded with a quiet voice: “That’s right ah Jing Jing, don’t overthink about it. You and Yang Heng go back at least ten years, and he’s only known Ye Jian for only a few days.”
“See, even you girls know I’ve known him for more than ten years, and Ye Jian only knew him for a couple of days. But…” Yao Jing retracted her gaze, lowered her head, and spoke in an eerily soft voice: “But on the day of his birthday, he said I was disgusting, he said I made him disgusted.”
That sentence made the expression on Wang Dandan and Le Mei change drastically, even they didn’t know about it!
After Yao Jing finished, she raised her head and looked at her best friends, trying to persuade her: “Tell me, am I that lacking compared to Ye Jian? Am I that disgusting? Really that disgusting?”
Her expression wasn’t just slightly eerie. Though she was clearly smiling, there was a cold chill present on her smiling face, causing both of the girls, Wang Dandan’s and Le Mei’s, heart to drop in their chests. Goosebumps broke out on the back of their necks…
Something’s off about Yao Jing, truly off about her. Her smile… is terrifying!
“Jing Jing, don’t be like this.” The braver Wang Dandan tugged at her sleeves, suppressing the goosebumps raising non-stop over her body and calmly said: “Let’s go, let’s have dinner. Stop looking at them; there’s nothing to see there.”
Quickly she turned around to take a look. She saw Ye Jian was still wearing her short-sleeves, while Yang Heng went along with the boys he usually played basketball with and chatted heartily. Wang Dandan immediately said: “You see, there’s nothing between them, Ye Jian didn’t put on his clothes.”
Yao Jing’s gaze was like a needle pricking at Ye Jian’s back, then pinned itself on Yang Heng’s body, “He said I was disgusting, I’m going to ask him, am I truly that disgusting in the bottom of his heart?”
“Why must you ask that? It is very likely that he just said it out of anger.” Wang Dandan was at the edge of her wits. Should she make a phone call to Aunty Yao? Yao Jing really seems off!
But as for where she seems off, she wasn’t able to pinpoint it.
After standing for a while, Yao Jing was the one who brought up the idea for them to have dinner at the canteen. “Let’s go; let’s have dinner first. I’m starting to get hungry.” She’s going to do something huge, in front of Yang Heng, in front of Ye Jian, to ask him… if she is truly disgusting!
If she doesn’t ask him, there’s a bitterness in her heart!
Her heart feels bitter! She’s bitter that the person she likes said she was disgusting, in front of the person she hates!
Yang Heng, I’m going to give you one more chance, you’ll have to take it, otherwise…, don’t even dream of living peaceful days for the rest of your life!
