“It seems like you’re angry?” Qin Siting looked at her.
Shi Niange turned to look at him. “Is it very obvious?”
The handsome boy raised his brows. “It’s all written on your face.”
“Oh, that’s possible.” Shi Niange still didn’t want to pay attention to him, but she had so many questions to ask and was a little conflicted.
Qin Siting slightly curved his lips and continued to look at her. “There are many classes in the same department. I didn’t expect to be in the same class. I decided to come to the Medical University at the last minute. Since I didn’t tell you in advance, I just came to say hi when I saw you.”
Just, came, to, say, hi?
Just came to say hi?
Shi Niange originally felt a little angry, but now she was really angry. She turned to look at his eyes. “So, did you receive my message?”
Qin Siting did not answer and only looked at her.
“You received it, didn’t you?” Since the topic had already reached this point, and since he was already sitting here, all of the things she had once thought were impossible and all of the emotions she had suppressed for too long were finally magnified, she glared at him. “You received it and didn’t reply, which means that at that time, you were just impulsive and felt that you shouldn’t have kissed me, so you simply put that matter down and pretended that it never happened?”
He still did not answer, but his gaze landed on her reddened eyes.
“Did you come to learn medicine because you read a few medical books and were influenced by them?” Or was it because of me?
Of course, she didn’t ask the latter half of the sentence. She didn’t dare to ask, afraid that if she did, she would only embarrass herself further.
He did not speak.
“Qin Siting.” Shi Niange took a deep breath. “You know, don’t you? All along, you know how I feel about you. You’ve been watching coldly from the sidelines for so long. Since you’ve always planned to escape unscathed, you really shouldn’t have kissed me on the skating rink that day. This way, I can at least treat it as my own wishful thinking. In the end, even if I lose, it won’t be embarrassing. But now, you’ve embarrassed me.”
After speaking, she retracted her gaze and sat in her original seat, not wanting to say anything more.
He did not explain why he came to study medicine, nor did he explain why he did not reply to her messages that day.
The bell rang. Zhao Xiaoqing rushed back. After squeezing back into her seat, the teacher came in.
After all, it was the first day of formal classes. Everyone was unfamiliar and took things seriously. The classroom was very quiet. No one was whispering. Therefore, even though Zhao Xiaoqing noticed that Shi Niange was a little listless, she did not dare to speak.
However, after the lesson, Zhao Xiaoqing turned around and saw that Shi Niange was leaning against the table with her head lowered, reading a book. She didn’t know if she had listened to the class seriously.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” Zhao Xiaoqing patted her shoulder.
Shi Niange really did not listen to the class earlier. She had been thinking about Qin Siting. He would not suddenly do this for no reason. Based on her understanding of him, he was not an emotional person. However, he was fine in the amusement park that day. After he came out, he seemed to have changed after seeing the person who got out of the car. At that time, he had blocked her behind him and then sent her into the car. Then?
After that, he did not reply to her messages.
The root of the problem was definitely not him.
If he didn’t like her, with his character, he wouldn’t kiss her casually.
He liked her.
At that time, when he was writing his first choice, his heart shouldn’t have had such an answer. After the college entrance examination ended, she didn’t contact him again.
There had to be a reason.
Earlier, he had been looking into her eyes. He did not explain or say anything, but he kept looking.
She planned to ask after class, but she was too deep in thought. Zhao Xiaoqing patted her and she finally reacted.
She raised her head, wanting to ask Qin Siting what was wrong, but the moment she turned her eyes, she was stunned.
Qin Siting did not continue to sit by her side. She raised her eyes and saw Qin Siting’s back view as he stood up and walked out of the back door.
Shi Niange’s hand squeezed the corner of the book on the table. She felt cold from head to toe.
Qin Siting… As expected, he only came to greet her. He did not plan on sitting at the same table with her, nor did he want to say more to her.
There were five minutes in between. Shi Niange would lean against the table in her seat.
However, as an eighteen-year-old girl, she did not know how to digest her own emotions. She did not know how to adjust the sour, sweet, and bitter joys brought by feelings. A huge sense of loss enveloped her in a gray space, and dark clouds covered her head.
This was worse than not receiving a reply a few days ago.
Zhao Xiaoqing was confused. “Nian Nian, what’s wrong?”
Shi Niange looked at her, shook her head, and did not speak.
Zhao Xiaoqing turned to see that Qin Siting had really left. Although she didn’t know what exactly happened, she felt that it must have affected Nian Nian’s emotions. She could only pat her shoulder and sit quietly by her side to accompany her. She didn’t ask anymore.
There were only two minutes left before class began. Qin Siting returned and sat down in an empty seat on the other side.
Shi Niange secretly clenched her fists on the table. She suddenly picked up the book on her table, stood up, and walked over.
However, as soon as she approached, Qin Siting picked up the shoulder bag hanging on the chair and casually threw it on the seat next to him. It was the empty seat next to him that she originally wanted to sit in.
Shi Niange hugged her book and stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
She firmly believed that there must be a reason for his attitude, but when he saw her approach, he placed his bag on the empty seat next to him.
She whispered, “Qin Siting.”
Zhao Xiaoqing watched them from afar, a little worried that Shi Niange would be at a disadvantage. After all, Shi Niange had always been very careful with her feelings for Qin Siting. She never did anything rash. Earlier, she had finally mustered up her courage, but clearly, she seemed to have met a wall. From her back view, one could see that she was at a loss and helpless.
At this moment, Qin Siting raised his head to look at Shi Niange. There was no expression on his face.
Shi Niange looked into his eyes and asked softly, “Qin Siting, can’t we be deskmates?”
Qin Siting looked into her eyes for a few seconds and did not answer her. Instead, he shifted his gaze away and faced the window. It was late autumn today. The leaves outside were still green and not a bit golden, but the sky was dark, as though it was about to rain again.
