Look Up to See You, Bow Down to Kiss You - Chapter 3

Inlier Lake — the school’s dating ground. Many young couples would go to the lake for dates.

The lake was quiet, with occasional ripples. The lake was a shade of green, with a variety of verdant trees, even in the hot summer, it would retain a touch of cool, light, quiet, and romantic…

Xiao Qing sat under a tree in the shade. Her long fingers in her right hand deftly spin the pen in her hand. She looked down at the notepad placed on her knees, occasionally using the pen to write and draw on it. The breeze brushed her cheeks, and the hair in front of her forehead fluttered loosely. She raises her head, squints her eyes, takes a deep breath, and breathes in the fresh air. Through the long eyelashes, happiness could be seen flowing from those eyes.

“What are you doing?”

A voice suddenly sounded beside her, and Xiao Qing hurriedly closed the notepad in her lap, before looking up at the person standing beside her. It turned out to be Song Ling Xiao.

He was wearing a teal T-shirt and casual pants, and his hair was exquisitely done, held up with a large amount of hairspray. Xiao Qing took a look and suddenly wondered if a person like him needed to exercise every day. She really could not imagine him sweating all over and having messy hair. It was then that she came back to her senses.

“Ah? “No, nothing. I’m practising sketching.” Why bother explaining so much to him? What does it have to do with him? Was it because she was weak-minded? She had always spoken with extreme confidence and composure. Today she was very strange, doing things in a panic.

“Oh… Then what is this? Let me have a look,” Song Ling Xiao asked thoughtfully. He stared at the pen in Xiao Qing’s hand, the corners of his mouth revealed a naughty smile. After saying that, he intended to reach out to take it.

Xiao Qing saw Song Ling Xiao looking at herself in the light and saw his hand reaching over, so she hurriedly took a step back. Her heart was pounding, and her brain was confused. Her palm was sweaty. Despite her cheeks being red all the way to the roots of her ears, she still pretends to be indifferent. Well, she admitted that in her heart, there was someone named Song Ling Xiao.

Pursing her lips for a moment, she lifted her head and looked at Song Ling Xiao. Within two seconds, she shifted her eyes again, fluttering: “What are you looking at?” completely losing the previous arrogance, and with some breathlessness and some guiltiness.

“I want to see the pen in your hand. “When did the sketch pen start looking exactly like a fountain pen?” It sounded like a question, but it was exposing Xiao Qing’s lie.

Xiao Qing looked down at the pen in her hand, smiled awkwardly, and didn’t say a word. Turning around, her heart racing, she walked quickly forward.

A gust of wind blew by just as she turned around, and her hair became a mess and pasted on her face. She hurriedly tidied up her hair. Fortunately, his back was turned to her, so he did not see. At this moment, Xiao Qing was eager to escape from Song Ling Xiao’s sight. She noticed her image, especially her image in front of Song Ling Xiao. So much so that she did not even notice that the pen she had been holding in her hand had slipped from her palm and fallen softly onto the lawn.

Only after walking a distance did she slow down, flip open the notebook in her hand, and smile faintly.

Although he did not know the secret in that notebook, seeing how Xiao Qing was nervous, he narcissistically guessed that it must be related to himself, otherwise, why would her expression be both so strange and so cute? He laughed from the heart.

Inadvertently, the pen lying quietly on the lawn entered Song Ling Xiao’s line of sight. When he was about to walk over to it, he was stopped by two girls, one holding a microphone in her hand and one holding a cell phone, they said they were reporters from the school’s news agency and wanted to ask some questions. Song Ling Xiao naturally did not care to answer and elegantly stepped back while saying, “I still have things to do, you find someone else.” After that, he turned around and left in style. Looking at the departing Song Ling Xiao, the two went away resentfully.

When the two girls left, Song Ling Xiao went back to the spot as he did not forget that the pen was still lying there. Walking over, he picked it up and looked at it. And at this time, Xiao Qing just found that the pen in her hand had long disappeared…
