Little Trip

"Where are you going, Juan?"

"Yeah, it's still early for lunch."

"We just got started playing basketball, and now you're leaving after only taking one shot."

Zhou Juan wiped his sweat with his towel and looked at them, "Who told me about the limestone cave last time?"

"The limestone cave at Shihai?"

"Yes, that one."

"Didn't you say last time that it was boring and you didn't want to go?"

...

"Enough talking." Zhou Juan came over and looked at me, "Are you coming?"

"What?...No, I'm not going."

They skip class and play around all the time, but I don't have that luxury.

I need to study, I have an exam in three months.

Besides, I definitely wouldn't want to hang out with them in a group of only men, I'm the only girl.

"... " He stared at me without saying anything, "Why, do you think it's embarrassing to hang out with someone like me?"

"That's not what I mean!!!" I quickly explained.

"Well, then don't talk (love) to me. Find a top student to talk to, are you messing with me?" He's really unhappy now.

"I... I have to study, I don't have time," my explanation was a bit weak. Oh well, "Okay, how long will we be going?"

I compromised.

"Don't talk to me." He threw the basketball and walked away.

I...

Why does he have such a bad temper?

"Sis, don't take it personally, that's just how he is."

"Right, we're used to it."

"Sis, go get some clothes from your dorm, you might have to stay for the night."

...

His brothers came to relieve the awkward situation.

Of course, you'll have to stay outside when traveling.

But I was still conflicted.

Watching his angry back, I still decided to go.

Regardless of whether we break up or not, there's no need for both of us to be angry, come and go.

Later, his brother added me on WeChat and contacted me, saying that the car was waiting for me downstairs at my dorm.

I grabbed a few things and went down to the lobby.

As a result, when I got in the car, Zhou Juan was also there.

It was a bit awkward.

On the way, I didn't know what to say and didn't dare to look at him, so I kept silent.

He wasn't idle either, he was messaging a lot of people in the car.

And if I'm not mistaken, most of the profiles are female.

Sent him a long message, he glanced at it and replied with a single word: "Oh."

Oh?

He's really terrible...

"Zhou Juan..." I whispered his name.

"Hmm." He lowered his head to reply to the message, without looking at me.

"Can you close the window? I'm a bit cold." The wind was strong all the way, I didn't expect it to be this cold.

"It's stuffy in the car." He finally put down his phone and looked up at me, "If you're cold, just lean on me."

I...

How can I lean on him?

"Is it not cold anymore if I sit close to you?" I was speechless.

He patted the seat next to him and smiled at me, "Come on over if you want to."

Is this his way of giving us both a way out?

Thinking about how he has been angry with me all this time, I also felt awkward.

Since he's given me an opportunity, I slowly sit next to him.

"Is it still cold?"

"Yes."

He's just saying nonsense, how can sitting close to him keep me warm?

"Where is it cold?"

"My hands and head."

The next moment, he pulls my hand and naturally puts it inside his clothes, and asks me with a straight face, "Is it still cold?"

"This is...not good." I tried to take my hand back.

Help! His roommate and the driver are in front, and it's too weird that he and I are in the back.

"How about this?" He stretched out his hand and hugged me directly into his arms.

"Zhou Juan!" I whispered in shock and warned him.

"Hmm, you yell a little louder, or others might think we're doing something back here..." He acted like a scoundrel.

"What are you talking about?" I was both worried and angry.

"I'm not afraid of talking, but I haven't done anything. I'm a little at a disadvantage."

"You..." I really couldn't argue with him.

Fortunately, his roommate seemed to have fallen asleep in front.

"Lean on me and sleep for a while, I'll wake you up when we get there." He stopped teasing me and continued playing with his phone.

I was indeed a little tired.

And I was too lazy to argue with him anymore.

Leaning against him is indeed warmer, I cautiously leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Not light," he chuckled quietly.

Me!!

Is he complaining that I'm heavy?

Just as I was about to argue with him, I raised my head and nearly collided with his lips because of the angle.

My heartbeat accelerated again.

He also stopped, looking at me without any evasion.

My heartbeat was accelerating and I quickly retracted my gaze, not daring to look at him anymore.

But he seemed to be doing it on purpose, lowering his head and approaching my ear: "What does it mean to look at me like this? Want a kiss?"

My mind exploded.

How can he always be so reckless, do whatever he wants, and say anything?

I was afraid he would kiss me, so I buried my face in his clothes and a small expectation ignited in my heart.

However, after waiting for a minute, he showed no reaction.

I opened my eyes to sneak a look at him and found that he was playing a game with full concentration.

Me?

Well, I might as well play the game. What was I expecting?

"Go to sleep, still watching," he said suddenly, even though he didn't look at me.

With that, I really did fall asleep.
