Suo Qingjun Chapter 53
bybreak up
The wind of late spring carries the sweet fragrance of roses on the street, making people feel lazy all over.Qing Feng’an and Xu Baiyan agreed to the request of the bookstore owner downstairs and helped move the newly arrived picture albums into the store. They each held a stack of books and walked very lightly for fear of damaging the cover.
Xu Baiyan was humming a song and walking very briskly, while Qing Feng’an lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes cast a shallow shadow under her eyelids, and her side face showed a faint jade-colored luster in the sunlight.
As soon as I moved the last stack of books into the store, I heard a cry for help coming from outside the store.A girl with a ponytail squatted on the roadside, holding a crushed paper kite in her hand. Her eyes were red, and she looked anxious.”My kite…The school is holding a kite festival tomorrow. I stayed up three nights to make this…”
Xu Baiyan hated seeing people cry the most, so he immediately put down his book and ran over: “Don’t cry, don’t cry, let’s help you see if it can be fixed!”
Qing Feng’an also walked over and his eyes fell on the paper kite.Two bamboo bones were broken, and the paper was wrinkled. He pondered for a moment, then turned to the bookstore to borrow scissors and tape, and found a thin bamboo strip. With his fingertips, he re-fixed the broken bamboo bones. He also carefully smoothed the wrinkled paper and glued it tightly with tape.Finally, he took out a silver marker from his pocket and drew a few small peonies on the damaged areas of the kite, instantly covering up the flaws without a trace.
Looking at the brand-new paper kite, the girl burst into tears and smiled. She thanked her repeatedly and took out her wallet to give money. Qing Feng’an raised her hand to stop her: “It’s a little effort, you’re welcome.”
When he spoke, his eyebrows were gentle, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which became a dazzling sight in the eyes of the two people who happened to push the door open.
Jin Xianling’s face suddenly darkened, and her peach blossom eyes that were still smiling just now seemed to have been hardened to ice, staring at Qing Feng’an, and the air pressure around her body was frighteningly low.Song Xu stood next to him, his expression still cold, but there was an imperceptible coolness in his eyes when he looked at Xu Baiyan.
The two of them came to take them back for lunch, but they happened to bump into this scene.
Xu Baiyan’s eyes lit up when he saw Song Xu. Just as he was about to say hello, he was interrupted by Jin Xianling’s voice.The young man strode over and grabbed Qing Feng’an’s wrist with such strength that his knuckles turned white.”Master, you are in great interest.”
His voice was as cold as ice on a cold day, with deep jealousy and a bit of uncontrollable anger, “I help others repair kites and smile so happily. Why don’t you care about me so much?”
Qing Feng’an was squeezed so hard by him that it hurt. She frowned slightly, but struggled to break away: “Jin Xianling, let go. I’m just doing a favor.”
“Help?” Jin Xianling sneered and glanced at the girl who was still thanking her. The coldness in her eyes was even worse. “What help? Do you need to smile so gently? Do you need to draw flowers with your own hands?”
He didn’t listen to the explanation at all, and all he could see was Qing Feng’an smiling at others.That was the person he held dear to his heart, the master who was usually reluctant to even speak loudly. How could he show such a smile to a strange girl?
The girl was frightened by Jin Xianling’s aura, so she quickly said “thank you” and ran away in a hurry.
Seeing this tense scene, Xu Baiyan jumped anxiously: “Jin Xianling, please stop making trouble! I’m just doing a small favor, are you okay?”
Song Xu stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Baiyan’s arm to signal him not to interrupt, but his eyes fell on Jin Xianling with a bit of scrutiny.
Qing Feng’an’s patience was exhausted little by little.He has always been cold and cold, and he dislikes such indiscriminate entanglement. What’s more, Jin Xianling’s words were like thorns, pricking his heart.He looked at the angry-eyed young man in front of him, and suddenly there was a surge of anger in his heart. He deliberately said with a cold face: “Jin Xianling, have you had enough trouble? Since you don’t believe me so much, let’s break up.”
The word “break up” was like a thunder, making Jin Xianling freeze up.
He looked at Qing Feng’an blankly, as if he couldn’t believe his ears.The grip on Qing Feng’an’s wrist relaxed unconsciously, and the coldness in his eyes faded away, replaced by deep shock and injury.
The air suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of the wind became clear.
Xu Baiyan was also stunned, and quickly took Qing Feng’an’s arm: “Mr. Qing Feng’an, don’t talk nonsense!”
Qing Feng’an turned away from Jin Xianling’s eyes, but her heart tightened slightly.He knew these words were angry, but he said them anyway, just to see if this young man who only knew how to be unreasonable and jealous would panic.
After a long time, Jin Xianling found her voice. It was extremely hoarse, a little aggrieved, and a little angry.He looked at Qing Feng’an, then turned to glare at Xu Baiyan next to him, and said with red eyes: “Break up? Qing Feng’an, you have been with Xu Baiyan for a long time, have you learned bad things? Have you learned to say such angry words to hurt me?”
He refused to believe it and didn’t want to believe it.How could his master, who was always cold and gentle, say such words as “break up”?He must have been led astray by Xu Baiyan, definitely.
Xu Baiyan thought to himself: Ah, you blame me?
Qing Feng’an looked at his red eyes, and most of the anger in her heart was gone, but she still hardened her heart and said coldly: “So what?”
Jin Xianling’s heart seemed to be squeezed hard, and it hurt terribly.He opened his mouth to say something, but found that his throat was tight and he couldn’t say a word.
Song Xu sighed, took a step forward, patted Jin Xianling’s shoulder, and said in a deep voice: “Let go first, and say what you have to say.”
Xu Baiyan also quickly smoothed things over: “Yes, yes, it’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”
But Jin Xianling didn’t seem to hear, and just stared at Qing Fengan, the redness in his eyes getting thicker and thicker, like an abandoned little beast, aggrieved and stubborn.
The wind was still blowing, carrying the sweet fragrance of the rose, but it could not dissipate the smoke that filled the air between the two of them.…
