Chapter 1475: You Are My Little Love Song (42)
After drawing hearts, s.h.i.+ Niange sat there in satisfaction and admired it for a while. Then, she sighed. The person she liked was sitting right next to her. This feeling could not be any better.
There were still two cla.s.ses before school ended. There was an event in school tonight, so there was no need for evening self-study. They could leave early.
s.h.i.+ Niange felt that it was a pity that she could not enter the school with Qin Siting this morning. After school, she decided to walk with him from the back.
Initially, Qin Siting thought that she was only here to buy things and would leave after buying. However, he found that she did not enter the supermarket and was still on the same route as him.
In fact, this road was discovered by s.h.i.+ Niange a few days ago when she was bored at home. She found that she could also go home from the main road in front of the school. Although it was slightly longer than the usual road, it was not much different. It was only a ten-minute walk, but this way, she could walk with Qin Siting.
There were many students on the main road. s.h.i.+ Niange followed for a long time but was too embarra.s.sed to approach him. She just walked slowly behind. Qin Siting was walking too fast. In fact, it was difficult for her to catch up.
Gradually, she noticed that his footsteps had slowed down. She first looked at his back view, and then he stopped and turned back to look at her.
s.h.i.+ Niange was surprised to see that he had found her so quickly.
Without thinking, she suddenly turned around. For a moment, she could not react. For a long time, she was struggling with how to be firm with Qin Siting to not appear too deliberate. After thinking for a while, she turned back. Seeing that Qin Siting was still standing there looking at her, she could only bite the bullet and walk over. “Hi, what a coincidence.”
Qin Siting asked, “Where are you going?”
“Let’s go home.” s.h.i.+ Niange rushed to his side.
Home?
Qin Siting raised his brows coldly, clearly not convinced by her reason.
“I mean, the road next to the school has to pa.s.s through the middle street. There are a lot of people on the street recently, and there’s a road that’s being repaired. It’s especially difficult to walk through the potholes. It’s almost dark now, and there aren’t many people on that road. It’s not safe, so I thought I’d change to the main road. Anyway, when we’re near Lishui’s Villa, there happens to be a specially built road that leads directly to my home.”
Qin Siting did not interrupt her explanation. He glanced at her again and nodded.
If he nodded, it meant that he agreed with her or accepted her explanation. He did not refute her or expose her.
From that day onwards, s.h.i.+ Niange would accompany Qin Siting for twenty minutes at night. If she walked quickly, it would only take ten minutes. If she walked slowly, it would take twenty minutes. However, they usually did not talk much because they could not find much to talk about. Furthermore, they were all topics that only one person could talk about. Qin Siting did not speak much, and she understood this very well.
Finally, she heard the bell signaling the end of school. However, she had to study until past nine in the evening. By then, the sky had already turned dark. Usually, when it was so late, Uncle Qin would come to pick her up or she would take a taxi back to Lishui Villa.
But tonight, she still wanted to leave with Qin Siting.
When she heard the bell ring at 9: 30 a.m., s.h.i.+ Niange quickly packed her bag and sat inside to wait for Qin Siting to get up.
She packed her bag faster than Qin Siting every day because she knew that if she was slow, Qin Siting might not wait for her. Although she didn’t know if he would wait, she didn’t want him to wait. It was too risky. She didn’t dare to try.
After leaving the school, they had to take a road to turn. In the past twenty minutes, there were very few people on the road. Every day, she would follow him to the innermost area on the right. Qin Siting did not like crowds. Occasionally, when someone brushed past him, he would avoid them. It was indeed the Qin Siting who did not like to be touched.
“It’s so cold today,” s.h.i.+ Niange said as she tucked her hands into her sleeves. “It’s already April, but it’s still so cold. This spring is so long. Almighty Qin, you have to wear more clothes. You don’t usually wear very thick clothes. I remember that you didn’t wear very thick clothes in winter. Be careful not to catch a cold. The last time I caught a cold, I was burning up. It was really uncomfortable.”
Qin Siting said, “No.”
“Why isn’t it cold? Your hand is clearly quite cold.” s.h.i.+ Niange recalled that during cla.s.s, when she accidentally touched his hand on the table, she felt that his hand was sometimes warm and sometimes cold. On the other hand, every time she blushed, her heart would beat wildly, and her blood would rush to her hand. She felt that her fingers were burning.
Qin Siting did not reply. s.h.i.+ Niange, who had finally found a topic, ended it after a few words. She was also afraid that Qin Siting would find it noisy if she spoke too much, so she quietly followed him for a while.
Seeing that they were about to reach the corner of the intersection, s.h.i.+ Niange said, “A few days ago, Teacher Zhao asked me to go to his office to tutor more. In the future, he might make me stay in his office during self-study time. I think my grandfather must have said something to the teacher to let me improve my grades. Actually, I want to go to medical school. Based on my current mock examination results, I can actually pa.s.s. But the teacher has been especially strict with me recently, so I can’t study with you.”
What she said was true. Originally, she wanted to rely on going to medical school to study less subjects. With her current results and scores, she could actually enter smoothly. However, it was likely that her grandfather didn’t wish for her to look down on cultural cla.s.ses because she wanted to study medicine. Thus, he instructed the teachers, causing the teachers to keep staring at her to study.
Qin Siting softly replied, “All right.”
“Then I’ll…” s.h.i.+ Niange was actually a little embarra.s.sed, but she felt that although he didn’t reject her leaving with him, he didn’t seem to have anything to talk to her about. She had persisted for so many days, and his response could be counted on one hand. Although she could also find some sweet joy from it, it was unavoidable that she would suffer a blow. However, she still braced herself and asked,” I can still wait for you under the tree outside the school gate tomorrow morning, right? I can still leave with you tomorrow night, right? ”
Qin Siting answered quickly and nodded without thinking: “Okay.”
These two “okays” were too wonderful. If Qin Siting wasn’t right in front of her, s.h.i.+ Niange would have jumped up.
He did not reject her and was clearly used to her existence.
“See you tomorrow!” s.h.i.+ Niange could not suppress her happiness. She waved at him with a smile and turned to leave. In her heart, she planned to walk together for twenty minutes every night and five minutes in the morning. That would add up to a lot of time alone.
