The sound of footsteps coming from the living room caused Zhao Xuanying, who was hiding in the room, to lift the sheet covering her head.
She raised her head slightly and looked at the door. Along with the sound of footsteps, a familiar voice came to her ears.
"Have you had enough at lunch? I see you haven't touched your kuaizi much..."
Lin Nianwei's figure appeared in the direction of the door.
Look inside the house.
Looking at Zhao Xuanying, who was curled up on the bed and likes to cover her head with a sheet just like when she was upset, she took a rough look at the layout of the room.
Then he smiled slightly, raised his finger and pointed to the door, and gave an answer to why he was able to come in so easily.
"The door was not closed tightly. I originally wanted to knock on the door, but as soon as I pulled the door handle, the door opened."
"..."
"Although the weather is getting cooler now, it's still very hot if you keep covering your head with a sheet, right?"
After pausing, Lin Nianwei tried her best to make the conversation between the two less serious and lifted the sheets as if to lighten the atmosphere.
"I think it's better to open it to let some air flow, what do you think?"
"Teacher Lin..."
Zhao Xuanying, who had been silent until now, finally responded.
First, he called the other party softly, and after receiving a "hmm" response from Lin Nianwei, he once again fell into a brief silence.
The hand that pulled the sheet was a little harder, and the fabric became wrinkled due to the force.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the sheets on his body.
"Have you and him...really decided...?"
Finally I asked.
After saying this, Zhao Xuanying closed her eyes because of nervousness.
Although I already had an answer in my mind, after all, Liu Weicheng had personally announced their relationship at the dinner table not long ago.
But... perhaps because of luck, Zhao Xuanying still asked this question.
Looking at the huddled figure on the bed, Lin Nianwei felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
To a certain extent, the Zhao Xuanying in front of her is very similar to her.
Putting aside personality, appearance and family background.
She has always been dependent on her grandma and has the same habits as herself, such as covering her head with a quilt by herself after encountering something annoying.
Only those who lack a sense of security and don't want to disclose it to outsiders would do such a thing.
Lin Nianwei does not hate Zhao Xuanying.
On the contrary, she has a great impression of this girl.
Aside from the fact that they both have a good impression of Liu Weicheng, Lin Nianwei feels that she will be very comfortable getting along with Zhao Xuanying, whether in terms of getting along or in daily life.
When Zhao Xuanying happened to meet her at school, she would also shout "Hello, teacher" with a smile. Although the two had secretly made a bet, Lin Nianwei couldn't help but feel sorry for this polite girl with a good personality.
Feeling disgusted.
Otherwise, at Liu Weicheng's home, she would not feel uneasy after seeing him return home in a state of despair.
I won't even come to the person's door in person, I just want to comfort the other person properly.
Hearing Zhao Xuanying's question, Lin Nianwei understood very well how the other party felt at the moment.
She had experienced such an uncomfortable feeling before.
He didn't give an immediate reply, but after staying at the door for a while, he walked towards the room.
He came to the bed and sat down sideways.
The distance between the two women has shortened.
Looking at the girl wrapped in sheets next to her, after some hesitation, Lin Nianwei stretched out her hand.
He gently put his hand on the other person's body and patted it a few times.
The technique was like coaxing a child, comforting Zhao Xuanying in this situation.
"Is it hard?"
"Um……"
The voice seemed to have a crying tone.
Although Lin Nianwei did not answer the question just now, this sentence had indirectly confirmed her doubts.
She moved the sheet down a little, revealing half of her face and looked at Lin Nianwei beside the bed.
It was like shouting a piece of rock candy in his mouth, and he became slurred when he spoke angrily.
"I...I thought he would wait for me..."
After sniffing, Zhao Xuanying's mind recalled the various hints and rejections Liu Weicheng had given her some time ago.
"I thought he just thought I was young... he would be able to accept me in two years..."
"I don't know when I started to care about him..."
"When I first met him, my first impression was that he was a weirdo..."
Recall the scene when the two met for the first time.
Before she moved, she came into contact with Liu Weicheng for the first time while carrying a bucket and fetching water from the faucet downstairs in that dilapidated residential building.
He took the initiative to talk to her, and the topic of conversation was not only awkward, but also gave her a very strange view of this person.
But...after seeing that he couldn't carry the bucket, he still stepped forward to help.
Treat yourself to popsicles, help you with your homework, and even go home with you every day after setting up a stall at the school gate.
When my friend had a problem with his academic performance in arts and sciences, he also gave me guidance without asking for anything in return.
The other party always keeps his kindness to himself.
This also made Zhao Xuanying slowly realize that the elder brother who lived next to her home was a very good and kind-hearted person.
Any good feeling does not happen in an instant.
It was during that period of getting along day and night that Zhao Xuanying discovered Liu Weicheng's own advantages. Although he liked to lie to people, she would smile and tell the fact that she had been cheated after every lie. She seemed careless, but everything she did was
his concerns.
It was during that time together that she began to realize that she cared more and more about the other person.
Even in school, even during breaks after class, the figure of the other person will appear in my mind for no reason during my free time.
Man is a selfish creature.
Zhao Xuanying did not want to share Liu Weicheng's kindness to others.
Not to mention that after the other person falls in love, he will only become farther and farther away from you.
She has become accustomed to life with Liu Weicheng.
I'm used to opening the door and being able to see the other person's life.
I'm used to...the kind of days when I can talk to the other person about anything I'm worried about.
Looking at Lin Nianwei in front of her with red eyes.
This female teacher used to be very unreliable, do whatever she wanted, and often fall asleep in class.
Not only have I become serious now, I will also give people an unexpected sense of reliability in certain matters.
When the article was plagiarized, Lin Nianwei took herself, who didn't know what to do, to the magazine editorial department to ask for an explanation.
Later, I treated myself to a drink and had lunch by the way.
When they returned to school, the two people in the car made a so-called bet in private.
Who...can let Liu Weicheng express his love first?
But now, this bet has come to fruition.
Looking at Lin Nianwei who looked worried beside the bed, Zhao Xuanying finally said this.
