Chapter 47 (2/2)
Before He Zhao returned the phone to Xie Yu, he swiftly entered his own phone nuo on QQ Add me as a friend?”
Xie Yu said, ”You've already added yourself Why bother asking me?”
He Zhao replied, ”To be polite”
Aunt Mei and the others used text otten used to it
Xie Yu didn't really need to contact his classmates, anyway In first year, he was the sort who lost all contact with his previous friends after leavingin touch, he didn't even get notifications from his teachers any ed
For instance, his contacts list where the 'Friends' group had steadily grown
For instance, Xie Yu had never i watch for his classmates so that they could play Dou Dizhu in peace
daht
Wan Da's self-assesserated in the least He didn't only have bad luck on the draw, he also had terrible skills
”I ad had won all her money back and said contentedly, ”Our friendshi+p will last a lifetime”
Wan Da didn't much care how badly he had lost, either He replied, ”My honor, Miss Xu”
He Zhao sat on the desk and leaned against the sill, helping keep watch for a while ”How e, last round, allanced at his terrible hand of cards ”I'm about to lose”
He Zhao tsked ”You still sound happy?”
Xie Yu said, ”Losing every single hand is a talent, too”
”Right” Wan Da nodded ”That's exactly it I think I' ti hadn't appeared However, Shen Jie, who had been held back at dislanced in as he passed Class 3 on his way out of the faculty office ”What are you doing?”
Shen Jie stood at theand looked in Hearing Xu Qingqing call out heartily, ”Four with three,” he was shocked at Class 3's talent ”da?” He Zhao retorted ”Why haven't you gone home?”
Shen Jie said, ”This afternoon was the ht? I… had a little accident”
Wan Da had no playable cards left and was easily distracted ”I know He got caught cheating during this afternoon's test”
Shen Jie had intended to gloss over theand he could only helplessly say, ”How do you know everything?”
Wan Da said sha I don't know in my part of the world”
”Just fold You just listen at corners and you think you're soe What you said this afternoon, about being in lo…”
Shen Jie still hadn't let go of the 'being in love' text He Zhao had sent The ht, so now that he'd bumped into He Zhao he wanted to clear the air But before the word 'love' could leave his id He seemed to have hit a sore spot He Zhao nearly ju his upper body out ”Shut up, you”
”No, I just ure it out ”That being in…”
Xie Yu tilted his head He had no idea what these tere doing ”Talking about what?”³
He Zhao juth of his entire back taut The moment he landed, he covered Shen Jie'sfor me because we need to talk, yes?”
Shen Jie was about to say, ”Of course not, it's about being in love,” but all he could make wereas He Zhao dragged him away
Xie Yu: ”……”
”What are the two of them up to?” Wan Da's hot air i's up”
Xu Qingqing said, ”Knows-It-All-In-This-World, you'd better concentrate on losing this hand”
He Zhao wasn't sure where he was dragging Shen Jie to, either Nowhere seeed hiht back to the dor for breath On the way over, He Zhao hadn't only covered his e, I almost suffocated and died, do you know?”
Before he had recovered, He Zhao said, ”That… a crush is fine, too Tell me about it?”
Shen Jie said, ”Ah? What's there to say about a crush? Feels uncomfortable and bloated, like a can of Fanta that's been shaken very hard Bubbling up—if anyone were to open the can, it would explode in his face”
He Zhao: ”……”
This metaphor was very apt
But He Zhao felt that his own can of soda was quite intense It didn't need anyone to open it, it would explode on its own
Shen Jie walked out of the boys' dormitory and to the bus stop to wait for the bus He sneezed in the autumn wind He still hadn't made sense of this matter with He Zhao, and now he even wanted a soda
Shen Jie kept thinking about it On the subject of dating, he'd known He Zhao for very long but hadn't seen him date anyone
He Zhao was obviously someone who could find a relationshi+p very easily if he wanted to
Going off his looks alone, one ht think He Zhao had a lot of relationshi+p experience As the saying went, he was so suave he was untrustworthy
But his Zhao-ge had rele for more than ten years
Shen Jie had personally experienced it when hanging out with He Zhao One tiirl had shyly come up to start a conversation He Zhao had replied, ”Are you selling so”
”When Heaven opens a door, it closes a ” Shen Jie shook his head The bus was pulling into the station, and as he reached for his card, he said, ”Looks alone don't cut it”
