Back to Arada·Upper

The next day I was woken up by the alarm, feeling groggy, maybe because of the heat from the heater, which made my temples twitch and my nose was blowing hot air.I didn't realize I had a cold until I sneezed while wearing school pants.

So those things that happened yesterday seemed to be awakened suddenly, and they poured out continuously. The more I thought about it, the hotter my face became, and I grabbed my hair and pulled it out violently a few times.

I was surrounded by embarrassing emotions, thinking that those actions yesterday were shameless behaviors, and I wished I could take time off from school because I was afraid of seeing him.

My unsolicited kisses, long kisses with him, and a bunch of mindless bullshit really came naturally and made sense in that atmosphere.However, the atmosphere will always fade away, and it will be stored as a memory to think about it later. It is only embarrassing and overwhelmed, thinking that what he said about me is quite accurate-I am simply crazy.

My nose was blocked, and I could only breathe through my mouth, and those images kept replaying in my head. Under the double attack, I was exhausted from the early morning.

When I arrived at the school gate, I lowered my head and followed the flow of people. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure sticking to my side.I looked up listlessly and met the eyes of the person I least wanted to see right now.

He raised his eyebrows, but there was nothing unusual: "Morning, didn't you sleep well?"

I shook my head a few times like a rattle, and immediately lowered my head back.My heart was beating hard, and I wanted to escape quickly: "I, I..." I said while speeding up my pace, "I still have homework to finish, so let's go first!" I ran without looking back, running in one breath to the classroom.

Wu Jiakun was copying his homework. He was distracted by the movement of my chair, and took the time to glance at me: "Why are you running so fast? There is still a while before the morning self-study begins."

It took me a while to catch my breath evenly, and sniffed: "Oh... I, I read the time wrong..."

"Your nasal voice is so nasal, have you caught a cold again?" He put down his pen, took out his desk pocket and said, "You are too weak to hold your breath."

After a while, he threw a bunch of cold medicines on my desk: "Fortunately, I bought too much last time." At the same time, the class representative yelled for the group leader to collect the homework, and he immediately immersed himself in writing, "Oh, I still have to do it." There are a lot of things left unwritten, and I don’t have time to prepare the medicine for you, so you can drink it yourself.”

After drinking the medicine given by Wu Jiakun, I lay half asleep all morning, and he dragged me to the cafeteria at noon.I really didn't have any appetite, so I took a few mouthfuls of rice casually.He eats a lot, so I sat on a chair and waited for him, looking around with my head propped up.

Suddenly, I saw the knight and a few other people sitting not far away, just getting up to leave after eating.I paused for a few seconds, then stood up immediately: "I'm going first, you eat slowly."

"Oh, good..." he raised his head from the meal and said inarticulately.

My eyes followed them all the time, I waved at Wu Jiakun casually and ran away. There were so many people in the cafeteria, I was afraid that if I slowed down, I might not be able to find him.

Those people left the knight when they left the cafeteria, and I followed behind him not too far away.

My embarrassment has basically subsided by now, but I feel a little uneasy.Because thinking about it carefully, he didn't give me any verbal promise yesterday.As long as I can do crazy things in the "vibe", of course he can too.What if he completely denied his actions yesterday when he opened his eyes today?What should I do if I say "I didn't mean that, you misunderstood me"?And he didn't come to our class to look for me in the morning. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that he meant to "abandon" me.

Thinking of this, I bypassed the few people in front and walked quickly to him.

"Hey..." It's an awkward opening, I think I can't call him "Brother" anymore, but I can't find another name.

He turned his head and smiled at me, still maintaining a relaxed gait with his hands in his trouser pockets.

I didn't want to cough, but I coughed a few times on purpose, the kind that was hoarse.

He patted me on the back: "Cold?"

"Um……"

"Tell you to toss around, have you taken your medicine?"

I looked up at him, and nodded slightly.

He frowned, like a parent treating a disobedient child, sighed helplessly, and touched the top of my head: "Drink more hot water."

I bit my lower lip, almost piously agreeing.Judging from his tone and attitude, I am basically sure that he will not "repudiate his debts". However, I am a person who is seriously insecure, and I must get a very positive answer on this matter.

So I continued to test him and took a step towards him, bringing our forearms together.He glanced at me inexplicably.

I grinned at him and quietly touched his hand.I want to hold him, if he doesn't reject me, it's stamped.However, as soon as I touched him, his hand was lifted up like an electric shock, stretched out to his forehead, combed his hair with his fingers, then put it down as if nothing had happened, and took a few quick steps to distance himself from me.

There was a buzzing sound in my head, and I immediately followed him, grabbed his clothes, and pulled him unreasonably.

"What are you doing?" He pulled my hand away.

I gritted my teeth and didn't speak, just went to pull him again.

He said jokingly: "I'll go with you, don't drag me."

I took him to the end of the empty corridor again, stared at him with a bitter face, and my voice seemed innocent because it was full of nasal voice: "Why do you hide?"

He folded his arms in front of his chest, supported by the window sill, crossed his legs easily, and said softly, "There are so many people watching."

"There's no one left now!" I said, gasping for breath.

He raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to cover his mouth, looked up at me with a smile, then stretched out an arm to me, spread his hand in the air, and lifted his chin in that direction.

I grabbed his hand unceremoniously, pulled his hand to my mouth, pretended to bite him, but put it down again when I reached my mouth.

"Happy?"

I pursed my lips and said nothing, not quite satisfied.So I took a step, hooked my other arm around his neck, and pressed my body against his body.He patted my back and suddenly touched my thigh.

Startled, I raised my head and opened my eyes to look at him.

"I must wear long johns in the future." He said.

I don't know if I'm blushing, but I feel like I'm on fire.His tone was serious, but I felt that I was being molested, so I attacked him unwillingly—raised my chin and kissed him.He hid back and forth like last night again, but failed to make my wish come true.

I made a fuss for a while, feeling uncomfortable, withdrew my hand from his hand and stood up straight.Comfort myself and say: It is enough that he is willing to hold hands with me, and it is enough if he does not reject him.

I muttered "forget it" in a low voice, very discouraged, turned around and left.

He followed after a few steps, grabbed my shoulders, and led me to a stop.The next moment the hand on my shoulder moved to my cheek, he pushed my face and turned to him, meeting his eyes.

I stared at him, and my heart started pounding uncontrollably.He lowered his head slowly, tilted his head and approached.However, just a second before our lips met, I suddenly realized that my physical condition might not be suitable for kissing, so I immediately turned my face away: "I have a cold."

He froze, but didn't leave, and kissed me on the cheek.

I was so happy that I wanted to laugh out loud, but I thought it looked like I was too easily satisfied, so I tensed my mouth muscles and forced myself to hold back, it must be a funny look.

I wanted to get into his arms and hug him, but he pressed my shoulder: "Is that your friend?"

I followed his gaze and found Wu Jiakun standing not far away, motionless as if he was a dummy.I opened my mouth, as if I was being raped, I was too scared to speak.

But he started to run suddenly, almost ran away, shouting while running: "I, I didn't see anything!"
