AFTER MY EX BOYFRIENDS WHITE MOONLIGHT PROPOSED TO ME - Chapter 98
The color of Zhuang Yan’s coat is low-key and dull, with a little check pattern and a few letters on the back. Besides, there is no excessive burden and decoration, and it looks simple and simple.
However, Xie Ning touched it in his hand and realized that the coat had nothing to do with the words low-key and simple.
The fabric is top-notch when you touch it. If you look carefully, the letters on the back are carved with embroidery craftsmanship.
Xie Ning is also from a wealthy family. It can be seen that this coat is from a top luxury brand, and it costs 5-6 digits less.
Putting it on a student is really too expensive.
It seems that this senior Zhuang has an extraordinary family background.
Xie Ning sighed with emotion and began to clean up the paint on it.
This coat can be washed in water, but not in machine. Xie Ning first wiped off the larger pieces of paint with a paper towel and smeared turpentine on the remaining part. After it was completely covered, rubbed gently with his hands.
After working for more than an hour, he cautiously confirmed that the paint was cleaned, and washed the coat by hand again, and hung it on the balcony of the bedroom to dry.
The dormitory building of the Art Branch is well treated, with an open balcony, but the area is not large, and the space after drying clothes is only enough for one person to stand.
Usually several roommates take turns to decide the time period for coming to the balcony, but Xie Ning is an exception. No one has agreed with him, and no one cares when he comes to the balcony.
The wind has been a bit strong recently. Xie Ning is afraid that the coat will be blown away, so he specifically tied the hanger with a rope, sparing two laps on the fixed hanger pole, and tied several knots.
He was a little relieved after doing this.
Xda prohibits the use of high-power electrical appliances in the dormitory, and even uses a hair dryer to be sneaky. The girls have complained many times, and the school has not relaxed its jurisdiction.
I heard that it was because of the aging of the circuit in the past that there was a fire, so this one was strictly controlled.
So there must be no irons in the bedroom.
After Xie Ning thought to dry, he should send the coat to the dry cleaner for ironing.
When returning from the balcony, Xie Ning turned around and almost ran into the roommate standing behind.
He didn’t notice when his roommate came over, and he was taken aback.
“Is it enough for the balcony after so long?” the roommate said impatiently, “I’m going out to get some air, please let me please.”
After that, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull him back.
Xie Ning did not return to him, but backed up two steps, avoided his hand, turned sideways, and ran in through the small balcony door.
The man glanced at him, then looked away nonchalantly, and went to the balcony to smoke.
Xie Ning had no intention of exploring the behavior of his roommate, and went to the bathroom to clean himself.
In the mirror, Xie Ning’s face was so pale and expressionless, the whole person revealed a strange breath.
His appearance is not particularly sharp and strong, but there is no expression on his face, and the appearance of looking at people coldly is very oppressive.
It’s no wonder that others will retreat, Xie Ning thought.
Afraid of getting the clothes wet, Xie Ning rolled up his sleeves while washing his coat. At this moment, he saw the tattoo on his wrist in the mirror.
Xie Ning smiled self-deprecatingly, and slowly rolled the sleeves back, covering the tattoo with the sleeves.
The scars on the hands can be covered with tattoos or wrapped in sleeves.
But what about the scar on my heart?
It will always lie there, it can’t be erased or bypassed.
…
“Are you asking me about Xie Ning?” Qi Rui said in a speechless voice. “Didn’t you say that you are not interested in Xie Ning?”
Zhuang Yan looked down at the phone and said without looking up, “I am interested again now.”
Qi Rui laughed at him: “You’re so fast, it seems that Classmate Zhuang has not escaped the true fragrance law.”
“I didn’t ask you to come out to listen to your nonsense.” Zhuang Yan was not embarrassed by the slap in the face, “Go ahead.”
Qi Rui was speechless: “What did I say?”
Zhuang Yan said concisely and authentically: “Talk about Xie Ning.”
Seeing Qi Rui not speaking, Zhuang Yan frowned: “You were very curious about him at the beginning. After so long, with your little gossiping ability, you should have inquired clearly.”
Qi Rui: “What little gossip expert, don’t say that I am like an eight-woman.”
Zhuang Yan glanced at him, and the meaning was obvious: aren’t you?
But he didn’t say it to the face.
Qi Rui twitched the corners of his mouth, and then asked for a while: “You should always give a specific direction, where do I speak?”
Zhuang Yan thought for a while: “Anything will do, as long as it’s about him.”
“Young Master, you are really hard to serve.” Qi Rui couldn’t help but complain.
Under the gaze of his friend, Qi Rui rationalized his thoughts, and said to Zhuang Yan what he had previously inquired about.
But after all, he is a student of the business school, the campus and the art branch are separated by a street, and Xie Ning is only curious about campus figures. He did not have the interest to inquire about the ancestors of the eighteenth generation. All he can say is classmate There was news of Qibadaowan, or a post on the campus network.
The back and forth are also the things he wentssip last time, and there is no reference value.
“He is very popular among girls. After all, he is good-looking. I guess he has received a lot of love letters during this period. However, he refused very decisively. He didn’t give the girls face at all, and seemed to have cried. People. There are also a lot of boys who hate him, and talk a lot of gossip in secret, you should understand that he is so popular.
Zhuang Yan couldn’t help asking: “That’s it?”
“I didn’t want to chase him again. I asked why so much!” Qi Rui said angrily, “Or I will show you his picture again…Ah, by the way, Xie Ning has some connection with you. ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly and curiously asked, “What is the origin?”
Qi Rui said: “Accurately, it should be the origin of his family and yours. Xie family, you know, the old man Xie who has an extraordinary friendship with your grandfather is his grandfather.”
Zhuang Yan frowned: “Why don’t I have an impression?”
He subconsciously searched for Father Xie’s grandson in his mind, but he only remembered Xie An’s appearance.
“It’s not Xie An, it’s another grandson.” Qi Rui explained, “He followed his parents to the South since he was a child, and you are normal if you have no impression.”
“That’s it.” Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, then asked, “How is his relationship with his roommate?”
Qi Rui didn’t react for a while: “I know so…I’m not in their bedroom.”
“But it is said that he has a cold temper and is indifferent to everyone, and his relationship with his roommate should be average, probably similar to you?”
Zhuang Yan said blankly, “I had a good relationship with my roommate.”
“That’s what you feel.” Qi Rui returned to him, “You don’t know, your roommates said that the pressure next to you is too much, just like waiting for the emperor. After you move out of the dormitory, they go out to celebrate. Had a meal.”
“Xie Ning should be the same, saying that he is as cold as you, but he talks less and has a better temper than you.”
Zhuang Yan was quiet for two seconds, remembering what he had seen in bedroom 506, and shook his hand unconsciously.
He felt that Qi Rui was wrong.
Qi Rui asked again: “What are you doing suddenly asking about him? Did he provoke you?”
Zhuang Yan glanced at him, then looked down at his phone again, and said, “I plan to chase him.”
Qi Rui: “???”
…
Zhuang Yan has seen his mobile phone frequently recently.
He clicked on Xie Ning’s address book and wanted to send him a message, but he didn’t know what to say.
If there is nothing wrong, it is just a simple greeting. With Xie Ning’s temperament, he mostly ignores the past and may not receive a reply. This is not the effect he wants.
And the only thing that can be discussed between the two is the jacket.
But now that even a day has not passed, Zhuang Yan is afraid that when he lifts his coat, Xie Ning will misunderstand that he is urging him.
In fact, he is not in a hurry to return that coat, and even thinks that it’s good to keep it with Xie Ning, so that he and Xie Ning will be implicated by a thread, and he can have one to contact at any time Xie Ning’s excuse.
After thinking for a long time, Zhuang Yan put the phone away again, thinking about it for a while, waiting for Xie Ning to contact him.
He calculated the time and estimated it would take at least two or three days.
To his surprise, he received a call from Xie Ning the next day.
“Excuse me… Senior Zhuang? This is Xie Ning.”
Zhuang Yan answered: “Yes, what’s wrong?”
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
Zhuang Yan frowned.
“Sorry.” After a while, Xie Ning spoke, with a noticeably low voice.
He said, “Your coat seems to be broken by me.”
Ten minutes later, Zhuang Yan arrived at the door of bedroom 506.
There was only Xie Ning in the bedroom. He lowered his head slightly and stood quietly in front of the table with Zhuang Yan’s black coat on it.
Zhuang Yan’s gaze fell on his face, frowning imperceptibly.
Xie Ning’s skin is very white, and no slight expression can be seen on his face, and his condition is obviously not very good now.
“Xie Ning.” Zhuang Yan called out to him.
Xie Ning looked up at him and said, “I’m sorry.”
Zhuang Yan thought, this is the first time he apologized to me?
He felt helpless in his heart, but he couldn’t know why Xie Ning always walked on thin ice.
He asked: “What happened?”
Xie Ning thought he was asking about the coat, so he pursed his lips and said, “I washed my coat and dried it on the balcony, and it was blown off by the wind. There are several trees planted under the balcony, and the coat is hung on the tree. Scratched.”
There are several scratches on the front of the black jacket, and you can’t see it on the back, but it doesn’t look good.
This kind of scratch is different from paint, it is irremovable and irreparable.
Xie Ning was a little frustrated, obviously he had tied the rope very carefully, but the coat still fell off.
Is the wind so strong outside? He didn’t quite understand.
Some things seem inevitable, even if he tries to avoid them, what should happen will happen.
He didn’t know what he had done wrong, so he had to encounter these unlucky things.
Zhuang Yan didn’t look at the coat, but comforted Xie Ning: “It’s okay… it’s just an accident, it’s not your fault.”
“I will pay you.” Xie Ning said.
He looked at the scratches on his jacket, his eyes a little cold, mixed with emotions that Zhuang Yan couldn’t understand.
Zhuang Yan wanted to reach out and rub Xie Ning’s hair, but the timing was wrong, he held back, and said softly, “No, I don’t lack a coat.”
But Shainin insisted: “No.”
In the end Zhuang Yan did not succeed in persuading Xie Ning. Xie Ning was very stubborn. Zhuang Yan finally understood a little bit why Qi Rui said he was cold.
When he stubbornly stood up, it was like a piece of ice, unable to shake easily.
Zhuang Yan wanted to quote a price casually, but Xie Ning quickly quoted the brand of the jacket, and even the price was inseparable.
“It’s too expensive.” Zhuang Yan couldn’t help but said, “You really don’t have to pay.”
Xie Ning looked away and said, “It’s too expensive to let you lose so much.”
Zhuang Yan: “It’s nothing to me.”
Xie Ning said: “It’s nothing to me.”
Zhuang Yan was helpless: “I don’t lack money or coat. If you are really sorry, please compensate me by other means.”
Xie Ning turned his head to see him, and after a long time, he asked quietly: “What way?”
“I haven’t figured it out yet.” Zhuang Yan still couldn’t hold back, stroked Xie Ning’s soft hair, patted it comfortingly, “Don’t be unhappy.”
Xie Ning subconsciously wanted to step back, but still couldn’t hide.
Zhuang Yan was afraid that Xie Ning would fall into depression again when he saw the coat, so he reached out and picked it up: “I will take this away first.”
The coat was turned over in his hand, and a hole was exposed in the corner of his coat. He frowned strangely and asked, “What is this?”
The diameter of the hole is about the same size as the tip of the pinky finger, and it does not look like it was scraped by a tree branch.
Xie Ning leaned over and took a look, her face changed suddenly.
“Like a hole burned out by a cigarette butt.” Zhuang Yan said.
Xie Ning: “…Hmm.”
“Do you smoke?” Zhuang Yan asked.
Xie Ning shook his head.
“Then your roommate smokes?” Zhuang Yan asked again.
After a few seconds of silence, Xie Ning nodded.
Some things are actually easy to understand, especially Xie Ning has learned from the past.
Zhuang Yan checked his coat over and over again, and found no other traces.
He thought for a while and asked, “Is the hanger still there?”
“Still.” Xie Ning found the hanger and handed it to Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan saw the rope on the hanger at a glance. He reached out and touched the neatly broken marks on it, and came to a conclusion: “It wasn’t a natural break, it was cut by someone.”
Xie Ning’s face became colder.
He said slowly, “I tied a few knots, they might not be able to untie them, so they cut them open.”
Xie Ning didn’t know how to describe his current mood. He didn’t have any expectations for the other roommates. Now that he wants to come, he can only blame himself for not being careful enough to give them a chance.
And these bad things were clearly exposed to Zhuang Yan, making him even more embarrassed.
“Xie Ning.” Zhuang Yan suddenly called his name.
Xie Ning came back and turned to look at Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan asked: “Did they treat you the same way before?”
Xie Ning did not answer, and after a long pause, he said, “They may take your coat as mine.”
In terms of material aspects, Xie Ning has not lacked anything since she was a child, and anyone with a sharp eye can see that it is not something ordinary college students can afford.
So it’s not surprising that the roommate recognizes Zhuang Yan’s coat as his.
Although he didn’t answer Zhuang Yan’s question directly, the implication was that a fool could hear it.
Xie Ning said: “Sorry…”
Zhuang Yan interrupted him: “It’s not your fault, you don’t have to apologize to me.”
He looked at Xie Ning as if he was controlling his emotions, speaking every word very slowly.
“Xining, you didn’t do anything wrong. Being bullied by your roommates, rejected by others, and turned away by them is that they are jealous that you are too good and have no good intentions for you, and it is not your fault.”
“The victim never needs to apologize, and the perpetrator has no excuse.”
“You are not wrong, they are wrong.”
The author has something to say: I didn’t sleep all night when I wrote this chapter, and my state was not quite right, the writing was a bit messy…
When it is restored, look back to see if there is anything to be changed. KK
