Chapter 120: Extra – What If…?
Xie Jingshen had always thought of himself as quite calm.
He looked in Jiang Yifeng’s direction, silently counting the time, wanting to see when that heartless kid would finally notice his gaze.
However, throughout the entire self-study session, Jiang Yifeng occasionally lowered his head to write, but most of the time, he turned his head to look at the person beside him.
Those eyes, always filled with smiles, were focused on someone else. Just by looking at him, you could tell he was talking to that person in a clingy, sweet way. Even the way he was leaning over was relaxed, the whole person was extremely adorable and beautiful.
Xie Jingshen stared intently at Jiang Yifeng.
Until the end of class, Jiang Yifeng didn’t notice his gaze.
He was still using a book to cover his cheek while whispering to the person next to him, but Xie Jingshen could no longer control his temper.
Xie Jingshen walked directly to Jiang Yifeng’s seat. In the suddenly brightened gaze of Jiang Yifeng, Xie Jingshen patted Jiang Yifeng’s deskmate: “Excuse me, switch seats.”
Deskmate: “?”
The deskmate completely didn’t understand what was going on.
“The seats are arranged by the teacher, you can’t just switch them.” The deskmate pressed down on the desk, hesitating: “And what are you doing? You think you can just switch seats if you want to?”
“Xie Jingshen, what are you doing?” Jiang Yifeng placed his hands together in front of him, his chin resting on the back of his hand, looking up at Xie Jingshen, a hint of doubt in his eyes: “Why do you want to switch seats?”
Xie Jingshen looked at Jiang Yifeng expressionlessly.
That look was creepy, making the deskmate couldn’t help but move back a little.
Xie Jingshen looked directly at Jiang Yifeng, but Jiang Yifeng also looked back. He didn’t notice the strange atmosphere, only smiled and asked in a sweet, clingy tone: “Why are you so clingy, Xie Jingshen?”
Xie Jingshen didn’t speak.
Jiang Yifeng took out a bag of candy from his pocket, unwrapped two and handed them to Xie Jingshen.
Xie Jingshen grabbed the candy, saw that there were only a few left in Jiang Yifeng’s bag, and reached out to take them all.
He unwrapped two more and stuffed them into Jiang Yifeng’s hand, then put the rest in his pocket.
The deskmate next to him looked completely bewildered.
Xie Jingshen held the candy in his mouth, his mood improved a little.
He still wanted to try to get Jiang Yifeng to actively say that he wanted to sit with him, but then he saw Jiang Yifeng hand one of the two candies to his deskmate, and then each of them put one in their mouths.
Xie Jingshen belatedly realized that Jiang Yifeng really wasn’t just special to him alone.
He just treated each of his deskmates equally, smiling at everyone who approached him.
After realizing this fact, Xie Jingshen, who was still in his rebellious phase, was silent for a while.
His teeth pressed against the sickeningly sweet candy on his tongue, standing there not knowing what he was thinking.
Jiang Yifeng’s deskmate was frightened by Xie Jingshen’s sudden actions. He didn’t dare to talk to Jiang Yifeng, only dared to secretly write down his thoughts and stuff them into Jiang Yifeng’s hand, secretly complaining that Xie Jingshen was sick.
Jiang Yifeng gently shook his head.
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then patted his deskmate, asking him to make room.
Jiang Yifeng pulled Xie Jingshen out of the door, held Xie Jingshen’s wrist, frowned and said carefully: “Why are you like a child? I only got upset when my friends played with others when I was in elementary school.”
Hearing Jiang Yifeng’s words, Xie Jingshen subconsciously retorted: “It’s not.”
“It’s not? Then why are you angry?”
The two people’s hands were clasped together, Jiang Yifeng squeezing Xie Jingshen’s palm not too hard, not too softly, making Xie Jingshen inexplicably think of two inappropriate adjectives.
*Wife.*
*Husband.*
Xie Jingshen was startled by the words that popped into his head.
He awkwardly thought.
He wasn’t such a domineering child, and he didn’t have such childish emotions.
He did feel uncomfortable watching Jiang Yifeng interact with his deskmate, but that was definitely not because of childish friendship.
But Xie Jingshen couldn’t figure out, if it wasn’t friendship, what was it?
The class bell rang, and Jiang Yifeng grabbed Xie Jingshen and returned to the classroom.
Xie Jingshen returned to his seat, he looked at the book in his hand, but he couldn’t concentrate on anything.
Xie Jingshen didn’t look back, not knowing if Jiang Yifeng was sticking with his deskmate again, whispering.
He gave himself a class period to endure, and during the break, Xie Jingshen knew the answer.
He went directly to the office and asked the class teacher to change seats in person.
“Why do you have to sit with Jiang Yifeng? If you are friends, sitting together may also affect your studies.” The teacher didn’t agree so quickly, but was determined to ask clearly.
Xie Jingshen shook his head.
“He’s not smart, I can help him study.”
He was very persistent, and persistent to the point of being a little stubborn.
Xie Jingshen’s special enrollment status and his background made the teacher finally not make things difficult for him.
The class teacher specially adjusted several people’s positions, including Xie Jingshen and Jiang Yifeng.
The two of them switched to the very middle of the classroom, the first row of seats, and they could face the teacher as soon as they looked up.
Xie Jingshen had no objection to this.
Jiang Yifeng looked dumbfounded.
But Jiang Yifeng had always been a person who went with the flow. As soon as he changed to Xie Jingshen’s side, he tugged at his sleeve, bent his eyes and smiled: “Why are you so childish, didn’t you still go and talk to the teacher?”
Xie Jingshen stuffed the milk into Jiang Yifeng’s hand, and then used an egg roll to block his mouth.
Jiang Yifeng held the food, chewing the egg roll in his mouth vaguely, and rubbed against Xie Jingshen with his arm.
Half of Xie Jingshen’s body was numb.
This looked like a completely random seat change, but Jiang Yifeng’s former deskmate knew what was going on.
So unknowingly, Xie Jingshen’s reputation in the class became not very good.
In addition, Xie Jingshen always had a cold face and was unwilling to interact with the classmates in the class, he gradually got a nickname.
“Cold-faced Campus Hunk, who came up with that?” Jiang Yifeng was both shocked and amused. He smiled, revealing his white teeth, and tilted his head to look at Xie Jingshen: “Campus hunk Xie, Campus hunk Xie, they all say you’re a cold-faced campus hunk.”
“Huh?” Xie Jingshen put the book aside.
He thought the title was cool.
But Xie Jingshen wouldn’t directly tell Jiang Yifeng his little hobby, so he asked in a very serious manner: “Then what do they say you are?”
“Ah?”
“They won’t just give me a nickname. You’re very beautiful, what do they call you?” Xie Jingshen’s eyes were bright.
But Jiang Yifeng really didn’t know.
He tried to ask those classmates, but everyone was hesitant and no one dared to tell Jiang Yifeng the truth.
Jiang Yifeng didn’t know why, he was carefree and didn’t suspect anything.
It was only later that Xie Jingshen accidentally heard from others that Jiang Yifeng was not in the campus hunk category.
There were a lot of campus beauties and campus hunks in every school, and those who were recognized as handsome could get the corresponding title. But Jiang Yifeng was one of the campus beauties.
The baby fat on his face hadn’t faded away, his contours were not obvious, and his hair was a bit long.
In a school that didn’t require haircuts, Jiang Yifeng’s soft, slightly long hair was pulled behind his neck, but it made his face even more beautiful.
Occasionally someone would mistake him, and the more people who made the mistake, the more they would jokingly call him a campus beauty.
When Xie Jingshen first heard Jiang Yifeng’s nickname, he always felt very strange.
Campus beauties and campus hunks were a good match.
But Xie Jingshen also knew for the first time that those boys would privately discuss Jiang Yifeng in a teasing manner, comparing him to a girl, using the most familiar flirtatious tone of high school boys.
Xie Jingshen was unhappy.
But he couldn’t figure out why he was unhappy.
The longer Jiang Yifeng spent time with Xie Jingshen, the more he clung to Xie Jingshen.
But Xie Jingshen didn’t like to talk about his family, so Jiang Yifeng thought Xie Jingshen’s family was not well-off.
He took good care of Xie Jingshen and wouldn’t deliberately say anything.
Sometimes in physical education class, when he was playing with other people and talking about sneakers, Jiang Yifeng would also suppress the topic: “Don’t measure things with money…”
Everyone listened to Jiang Yifeng.
Jiang Yifeng looked at Xie Jingshen and smiled. He shook his feet, letting Xie Jingshen see his sneakers: “I bought them before the high school entrance exam, thirty yuan, the soles still have rebound, very comfortable.”
Xie Jingshen nodded.
He really liked the way Jiang Yifeng would look at him after saying anything.
Xie Jingshen had always thought that his feelings were normal, until one day he saw a pink envelope and a piece of chocolate in Jiang Yifeng’s desk.
Jiang Yifeng didn’t like chocolate very much, he preferred mint-flavored hard candy.
He didn’t buy that chocolate, so it was naturally stuffed in by someone else.
He quietly took out the letter and saw the sender’s thoughts in the heart-shaped seal on the envelope.
It was a love letter.
Xie Jingshen’s fingers clenched the envelope. When Jiang Yifeng came back, he wanted to hide it, but it was too late.
“Someone sent you a love letter?” Jiang Yifeng was obviously very curious. “Open it quickly and take a look.”
Xie Jingshen tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter paper.
The letter didn’t mention a name. The writer tried their best to express their love for Jiang Yifeng throughout the whole thing. Each word and sentence spoke of deep affection.
Jiang Yifeng’s face turned red, and when he saw the location at the end, he tried to ask Xie Jingshen: “Do you want to go?”
Xie Jingshen felt that something was wrong.
Pink envelopes were often used by girls when confessing their love, but the words didn’t seem like they were from a girl at all.
Even though the tone and wording were full of love, Xie Jingshen still felt that something was wrong.
“Go or not, that girl invited you, aren’t you going?” Jiang Yifeng’s eyes were pure. When he looked at Xie Jingshen, it made Xie Jingshen’s heartbeat a little faster.
He pursed his lips, not very happy.
–Jiang Yifeng didn’t know the letter was sent to him, so he was urging his “good brother” to meet the person he didn’t even know.
“Go.” Xie Jingshen put away the letter: “Even if I don’t like it, I have to make it clear in person.”
Tell them not to think about Jiang Yifeng.
Xie Jingshen crumpled the envelope, and even the action of stuffing it into his bag looked like he was taking revenge.
At the end of school, Xie Jingshen rushed to the small forest as soon as possible.
He saw the boy waiting there.
Xie Jingshen’s face became even colder.
“Don’t wait, he won’t come. I saw the letter.” Xie Jingshen grabbed his bag with one hand, his eyes so cold that they were almost frozen.
“Xie Jingshen, what does it have to do with you? You can’t interfere with his making friends and dating, right?”
“With a man?”
“What’s wrong with a man?” The boy smiled. “Haven’t you ever seen a man like a man… then you really don’t know much. I thought you were too.”
Xie Jingshen frowned.
The boy opposite him smiled coldly: “You’re Twist him, aren’t you like an elementary school student, unwilling to let your friend play with other people? Then do you know how terrifying your eyes are?”
Every day he stared at Jiang Yifeng, sometimes his gaze seemed to want to swallow him up.
Xie Jingshen didn’t speak.
He slowly said when the other person was about to leave: “I’m not the same as you.”
After saying that, he left with his bag, even forgetting that he originally wanted to beat that person up.
And when both people left, a shadow squatting in the corner came out.
