I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 33
byChapter 33 The red scar incident
In the top-floor office, several documents scattered on the table have already been signed, and the ink stains reveal unquestionable strength.
Picking up the phone to unlock it, the screen was instantly flooded with messages.
The most popular local campus forum, the “Xingda Anonymous Wall”, exploded, and the title of the pinned post was eye-catchingly red.
【shock!Xie Shen, a law school student, suddenly had red marks on his neck!Suspected love affair?】
The moment I clicked in, various screenshots and discussions flooded the screen.
The poster attached a candid profile photo of Xie Shuhan wearing a white shirt, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the library reading a book.
The sunlight outlined his clear outline, but the light red on his neck was particularly dazzling, like a little cinnabar falling on the snow.
“What the hell? Isn’t this Xie Shuhan? He was saying he had someone he liked just a few days ago, and there are traces of it in just a few days?”
“Help! Who can win the flower of the high mountain in our law school? The red marks are not easy to see…”
“Is it possible that I bumped into it accidentally? Xie Shen doesn’t look like someone who will fall in love early…”
“Stop comforting yourself. I understand the position and shape. I’ll hit it if I hit it!”
Lu Jin swiped the screen with his fingertips, and his ears turned red unconsciously as he looked at the increasingly outrageous speculations.
He touched his nose guiltily, and the scenes from last night replayed uncontrollably in his mind.
He hugged Xie Shuhan uncontrollably, leaving his own mark on his neck, but the man who had always been cold and distant did not push him away.
Thinking of this, Lu Jin’s heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and he tapped on the screen with his fingertips. After deleting, deleting, and modifying for a long time, he finally sent a message: [Sorry, don’t pay too much attention to what happened on the forum. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry.】
A notification that the message was sent successfully popped up. Lu Jin stared at the screen, but couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Xie Shuhan didn’t push him away. Does that mean that he actually doesn’t hate himself?
Even…like it a little bit?
This thought was like a pebble thrown into the lake of his heart, causing ripples in circles, making him instantly forget his previous annoyance when dealing with the Yun family’s affairs.
Even the emotion of the long journey to pursue his wife faded a bit, leaving only a secret joy.
He put his phone back in his pocket, stood up and walked out of the office.
Assistant Wang Li, who was waiting outside the door, immediately stepped forward: “Master Lu, the Yun family has made arrangements, and someone will follow up on the final work.”
“Yeah.” Lu Jin nodded and glanced at the darkening sky outside the window.
On the other side, in the law section of the library, it was so quiet that only the rustling of books was left.
Xie Shuhan was sitting by the window, with several thick books of law spread out in front of him. The sunlight fell through the glass on the tips of his hair, casting a soft halo on it.
He lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyelids, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
The red mark on the neck has faded a bit, but you can still feel something strange when you touch it.
He had known about the news on the forum for a long time. When he arrived at the library in the morning, he was asked cryptically by his classmates, but he had never been good at dealing with such gossip.
The phone vibrated in his pocket. It was a message from Lu Jin.
Xie Shuhan paused with his fingertips, took out his phone and took a look. The text on the screen was concise and apologetic.
He stared at the words “It’s all my fault”, his eyes moved slightly, his fingertips tapped lightly on the screen, and he replied: “It’s okay, I know.”】
After sending it, he put the phone back into his pocket and returned his gaze to the code, but after reading that line for a long time, he couldn’t really read it.
The scene from last night emerged uncontrollably in his mind, including Lu Jin’s embrace, his hot breath, and the tingling and numbness coming from his neck…
Xie Shuhan frowned, trying to suppress these chaotic thoughts, and pinched the pages of the book hard with his fingertips, so hard that the paper wrinkled.
“Shuhan.”
A gentle voice came from behind, interrupting his contemplation.
Xie Shuhan raised his head slightly and saw Zhou Yan slowly walking over with a cup of coffee.
“What’s wrong, senior?” Xie Shuhan’s voice was cold, with a trace of imperceptible alienation.
Zhou Yan sat down on the seat opposite him, stretched out his hand to adjust the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, glanced at his neck inadvertently, and then moved away as if nothing had happened: “It’s okay, I just bought coffee downstairs, thinking that you might not drink it yet, so I brought you a cup.”
He pushed a cup of warm latte in front of Xie Shuhan, “Without sugar or milk, it should be your favorite taste.”
“Thank you, senior.” Xie Shuhan thanked him but did not touch the cup of coffee.
The two were silent for a moment, and Zhou Yan was the first to break the silence: “Shu Han, do you have time to have dinner together in the evening? There is a new Japanese restaurant near the school, and it has a good reputation.”
Xie Shuhan raised his eyes, his eyes clear and calm: “I can’t be a senior, and I have to write a thesis at night, and the tutor is urging me.” His tone was tactful, but with an unquestionable rejection.
The smile on Zhou Yan’s face faded a little. He looked at Xie Shuhan, hesitated for a moment, and couldn’t help but ask: “Shuhan, do you… like Lu Jin?”
This question came unexpectedly. Xie Shuhan’s eyes suddenly froze, and the fingertips holding the page tightened slightly.
Zhou Yan is an extremely perceptive person, and he could tell a little bit about Lu Jin’s thoughts towards Xie Shuhan that day.
What about Xie Shuhan, does he like Lu Jin?
He had actually wanted to ask this question for a long time, especially after seeing the news on the forum today, his doubts couldn’t be suppressed.
Xie Shuhan was silent for a few seconds, and his tone was still cold, but a little more distant: “Senior, this is my private matter.”
The implication is that I have no obligation to tell you.
The expression on Zhou Yan’s face stiffened for a moment, and then he smiled knowingly, with a hint of self-mockery: “I was presumptuous, and I shouldn’t have pried into your private affairs.”
He stood up and said, “Then you go about your business first, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
“Yeah.” Xie Shuhan responded softly without raising his head.
Zhou Yan looked at his side face, which was focused on the page, with a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes, and finally turned around and left.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and silence returned to the library again.
Xie Shuhan maintained the posture of lowering his head to read a book, and then slowly raised his head until Zhou Yan’s figure completely disappeared from sight.
Do you like Lu Jin?
This question was like a thin needle, pricking him lightly.
I can no longer describe my feelings for Lu Jin as “like”.
He retracted his gaze, lowered his head again, and looked at the code in front of him.
He took a deep breath and gently smoothed the wrinkles on the pages with his fingertips, trying to immerse all his thoughts into studying.
However, the phone in his pocket vibrated again, and it was the second message from Lu Jin: [I will pick you up from school in the evening and take you to eat your favorite private restaurant. Just think of it as my apology, okay?】
Xie Shuhan looked at the text on the screen, his fingertips hanging above the screen for a long time.
Lu Jin was sitting in the car, looking at the screen of his phone, feeling a little uneasy.
He knew that Xie Shuhan might not agree to his invitation, but he couldn’t help but want to get close to him, wanting to do something for his impulse last night.
I also want to confirm whether Xie Shuhan really treats him a little bit differently.
After Lu Jin arrived at Qingdao University, he took out his mobile phone and sent another message: [I have arrived at the school gate. Let me know at any time when you are finished.】
This time, he didn’t wait for a reply. Instead, he put his phone aside, leaned back on his chair, and stared in the direction of the school entrance.
So what if the road to chasing his wife is long?As long as Xie Shuhan doesn’t hate him, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.
In the library, Xie Shuhan read the two messages from Lu Jin and moved his fingertips slightly.
He raised his eyes and glanced out the window, then looked down at the unfinished code in front of him. Finally, he picked up his phone and replied with three words: “Almost ready.”】
After sending it, he turned through the book faster, but he was inexplicably looking forward to it.
He still couldn’t bear to miss the time alone with Lu Jin, he was nostalgic and greedy for it.
