I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 8
byChapter 8 Meeting in the mall
In the next few days, Xie Shuhan did not contact Lu Jin again.
The two seemed to have returned to their respective ways and became the most familiar strangers on campus.
Xie Shuhan is still the cool and taciturn academic master who attends classes, goes to the library, and goes to the laboratory.
Lu Jin, on the other hand, was asked by Yun Chuchu’s mother to take Yun Chuchu to the mall to buy something.
Considering the business cooperation between the two companies, Lu Jin did not refuse.
He just seemed a little distracted the whole time.
The downtown mall was bustling with people on Saturday afternoon.
Yun Chuchu was wearing a champagne-colored suspender skirt, holding a delicate little bag, and happily pulled Lu Jin back and forth between the major counters.
The sun shone through the glass dome of the shopping mall, falling on her long hair that was carefully taken care of, giving it a soft sheen.
“Ah Jin, look over there!” Yun Chuchu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he reached out to hold Lu Jin’s arm. His tone was so intimate, “The skirts in that store are so beautiful, let’s go and have a look, okay?”
Her fingertips were about to touch Lu Jin’s sleeve, but Lu Jin turned slightly sideways and quietly avoided it, as if subconsciously.
Yun Chuchu’s hands froze in mid-air, the smile on his face faded a bit, and there was a trace of imperceptible embarrassment in his eyes.
“Go and take a look if you like it.” Lu Jin’s voice had no fluctuation, his eyes fell on the window not far away, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
Yun Chuchu took a deep breath, quickly regained his composure, smiled again, turned and walked towards the women’s clothing store.
Lu Jin did not follow, but just leaned against the pillar outside the store, with his hands in his pockets and his eyes wandering aimlessly among the crowd.
The shopping mall was bustling with people coming and going, but the depression in his heart did not ease at all, but became more and more intense.
He took out his phone and looked at it, but there was no new message.
At this moment, a familiar figure broke into his sight.
Lu Jin’s eyes suddenly condensed, and his heart seemed to be hit by something.
Not far away, in front of the men’s clothing counter, Xie Shuhan was standing there talking on the phone, his side profile looking particularly clear under the light.
He was wearing a simple white T-shirt and a pair of black casual pants. He had a tall figure and a cool temperament. Even if he was in a noisy crowd, he still had a sense of alienation.
Lu Jin’s eyes fell on him.
Xie Shuhan seemed to be talking to the person on the other end of the phone. His face was no longer as cold as usual, but instead had a gentleness that was imperceptible.
The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and the small mole at the end of her eyes was looming under the light, adding a bit of softness.
He occasionally fiddled with his clothes with his right hand and seemed to be recovering well.
Lu Jin watched him skillfully selecting men’s suits, his fingertips brushing through the suit jackets made of high-end fabrics, his movements elegant and calm.
In the end, he chose a black custom-made suit. The fabric had a soft luster and it was well-tailored. It was worth a lot at first glance.
The clerk packed it for him enthusiastically, and he took the bag.
Looking at Xie Shuhan’s back as he turned to leave, he subconsciously wanted to step forward and stop him. As soon as his footsteps moved, he was interrupted by a voice from behind.
“Ajin! Ajin!”
Yun Chuchu walked out of the women’s clothing store quickly, carrying a shopping bag, and called him several times.
Lu Jin came to his senses, quickly looked away, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and turned to look at her.
“Huh? What’s wrong?” His voice had an imperceptible hoarseness.
“What are you looking at? I called you for a long time and you didn’t respond.” Yun Chuchu walked up to him and pouted in dissatisfaction, then excitedly showed off the shopping bag in his hand, “I’ve picked it out, what do you think of this?”
She took out a pink quicksand skirt. The skirt was decorated with fine sequins. It glowed lightly under the light and looked sweet and fairy-like.
“I think this skirt suits me very well. It’s just right for a party at night.”
Lu Jin glanced at the skirt, but didn’t feel much. He just nodded perfunctorily: “It’s fine, wrap it up.”
After saying that, he took out a black card directly from his wallet and handed it to the clerk next to him, saying in a clear and crisp tone: “Swipe this.”
The clerk took the black card with a surprised look on his face, responded quickly and respectfully, and turned around to go through the payment procedures.
Yun Chuchu felt sweet in her heart when she saw his unhesitating look, which made her even more convinced that as long as she worked harder, Lu Jin would definitely agree to her pursuit.
“Ah Jin,” Yun Chuchu grabbed the corner of his clothes. This time, Lu Jin didn’t avoid it. She felt happy and continued, “My friends formed a game at the Charming Hotel tonight and invited many acquaintances. Can we go together?”
Lu Jin frowned. He never liked attending such noisy gatherings, but thinking that he had agreed to accompany Yun Chuchu today, he finally nodded: “It’s up to you to decide.”
There was still a hint of impatience in his tone, and Yun Chuchu also felt it, but she didn’t take it to heart.
As long as Lu Jin was willing to accompany her, she would be satisfied.
On the other side, Xie Shuhan had just hung up the phone, holding a suit bag in his hand and preparing to take the escalator downstairs.
On the other end of the phone is his mother Nangong Wan. Today is his father’s birthday. In the evening, the family will hold a small birthday party on the second floor of the Charming Hotel, and all relatives and friends will be invited.
His mother specifically told him to go there early and not to be late.
As soon as he reached the escalator, he glanced at Lu Jin not far away.
Lu Jin leaned against the pillar, and Yun Chuchu stood beside him. The two of them stood together. They looked like a perfect match for each other. They were handsome and handsome.
The sunlight shines on them through the glass dome, as if coated with a layer of golden light, and the picture is so harmonious that it is dazzling.
Xie Shuhan’s steps suddenly stopped, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. The pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe.
He lowered his eyes subconsciously, and his long eyelashes cast a shallow shadow under his eyelids, covering up the complex emotions surging under his eyes, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Xie Shuhan’s fingertips tightened slightly, holding the suit bag a little harder, and his knuckles turned white.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the sourness and pain in his heart, and raised his head. His face had returned to its usual cold and calm look, as if the person who was upset just now was not him.
He didn’t look at Lu Jin anymore, turned around and stepped onto the descending escalator.
The black suit bag swayed gently beside him, like a heavy heart, weighing him down and making him breathless.
As the escalator descended slowly, Xie Shuhan’s eyes fell on the floor of the shopping mall, but the scene just now appeared in his mind involuntarily.
Lu Jin and Yun Chuchu stood together, so well matched and so dazzling.
Lu Jin watched Xie Shuhan’s figure disappear at the end of the escalator, and the pain in his heart became stronger and stronger.
