Suspicious

In the vast expanse where strangers roam, A silent force weaves destinies unknown. Two hearts, strangers at first glance, Bound by a fate, a cosmic dance.

Through the crowded streets, a chance encounter, Fates entwined, a cosmic promoter. No matter the distance, no matter the space, Destiny whispers they're meant to embrace.

Unseen threads pull them close, From strangers to a love engrossed. In the tapestry of life, a story unfolds, Two souls meant to be, as destiny molds.

As Liu Xinran entered the bustling classroom, her eyes inadvertently found the familiar face in the corner—the same guy she had collided with just a few days ago. Recognition dawned, and a wave of embarrassment washed over her. She recalled the scattering of groceries and the hurried apology she had never extended.

Determined to rectify the oversight, Liu Xinran mustered the courage to approach him during a break. As she walked towards his desk, her heart quickened, unsure of how he'd react. The room buzzed with conversations, but in her mind, the encounter from a few days ago played on a loop.

Reaching his desk, Liu Xinran cleared her throat, catching his attention from the pages of his book. "Hi," she began, a hint of sheepishness in her tone. "I think we ran into each other a while back, and I never got a chance to properly apologize."

He looked up, his expression a blend of curiosity and surprise. Liu Xinran continued, "I hope you're okay. I didn't realize you might have gotten hurt. I'm sorry about that."

A moment of silence hung between them before he broke the silence and offered a nod of acknowledgment. "No worries, accidents happen." 

Relief washed over Liu Xinran as they exchanged a nod, the weight of the unspoken apology lifted. 

As Liu Xinran returned to her seat, a current of gazes followed her every move. The girls in the vicinity exchanged curious glances, suspicion lingering in the air like an unspoken question. Liu Xinran sensed the silent inquiry but chose to let the misunderstanding hang in the periphery.

As she settled into her seat, the weight of unspoken judgment lingered, yet Liu Xinran remained resolute. She focused on the lessons unfolding, determined not to let the scrutiny disrupt her journey in the intricate dance of high school dynamics. Sometimes, apologies are made to the person who matters, and explanations are left to the whispers of time.

The classroom door creaked open, and Chenxi strolled in, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on his cold, distant friend engaged in conversation with a new student. Intrigue flickered across Chenxi's face as he observed the unusual camaraderie.

Approaching his friend, Chenxi couldn't suppress the curiosity bubbling within. "Hey, who's the new girl?" he inquired, a teasing smile playing on his lips.

His cold friend, however, remained stoic, offering no immediate response. The air hung with an unspoken tension as Chenxi awaited an answer. The new student, seemingly oblivious to the exchange, focused on her books, but Chenxi noticed a subtle shift in her demeanor.

Undeterred, Chenxi persisted, "Do you already know her?"

His friend's eyes, cold as ever, finally met Chenxi's, but words remained elusive. Instead, he returned to his studies, leaving Chenxi with a lingering sense of suspicion.

As Chenxi settled into his seat, he couldn't shake the feeling of mystery surrounding the interaction. The new student, absorbed in her world, became a puzzle piece in a scene laden with unspoken questions and guarded glances.

The classroom, normally a space of shared camaraderie, now held an undercurrent of intrigue that left Chenxi yearning for answers.

Spotting Liu Xinran across the desk, Chenxi decided to unravel the mystery surrounding his cold friend's newfound acquaintance. With a friendly grin, he approached her, extending a hand in greeting.

"Hey there, I'm Chenxi," he introduced himself, " Yu Xuan's best friend. I couldn't help but wonder how you two crossed paths."

Liu Xinran, a mix of curiosity and sincerity, met Chenxi's gaze. "Oh, call me, Ran Ran."
