Look Up to See You, Bow Down to Kiss You - Chapter 4

In the school, one could see that flashy guy everywhere. Smiling at anyone everywhere. It was as if he was afraid others would not see him. He made all the girls who are crazy over him scream, and when he smiled lightly, they would get crazier.

Of course, this was made up only in Xiao Qing’s brain. Now Song Ling Xiao was someone she felt uncomfortable looking at. However, she also wants to take a few more looks at him. When she does not see him, she wants to look for him. When they met, they were like lovers who hated each other but loved each other.

After Song Ling Xiao finished saying goodbye to the two girls, he turned around and saw Xiao Qing standing quietly in front of him. Her eyes were staring straight at him, but Song Ling Xiao felt the chill, he did not show panic, pretending to be charming: “Excuse me, is something wrong?”

“No.” The answer was crisp and clear, and her eyes became gentle.

“Then I’m sorry. Please excuse me.”

“You can walk past. I am not stopping you.” He replied in a vaguely petulant tone. At this moment, Xiao Qing’s brain asked her, why would he say such words.

Thinking back about the last time they met, it felt as if this time they had swapped states of mind. This time, it was Song Ling Xiao’s turn to be nervous.

After saying that, the two of them walked toward each other. The moment they brushed past each other, Xiao Qing smelled that familiar lavender fragrance again. While indulging in that scent, Song Ling Xiao suddenly stopped, and Xiao Qing stopped too and looked back at him.

“Oh yes, your pen…” he said while pulling out a fountain pen from his pocket and handing it to Xiao Qing.

A bewildered Xiao Qing looked at that familiar fountain pen, and her cheeks turned scarlet. She hesitated and finally decided to raise her right hand to grab the pen. However, at that same moment, Song Ling Xiao’s hand retracted. Xiao Qing grabbed onto thin air. In her heart, she could not help but complain: Is there something wrong with this person? How childish to play such a game! to say that others were childish when, in fact, she was also very childish.

“If you don’t want to do it, then forget it.” Song Ling Xiao’s face was filled with sadness and a sense of loss. Only after the words were said did he feel that the words were a little harsh. The hand holding the pen seemed to be redundant, and he did not know where to put it.

Xiao Qing kept looking at Song Ling Xiao, and after a while, he was a little embarrassed, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you ever seen a handsome man?” The tone of his voice was like a kitten huffing at someone, cutely and fiercely.

“I’ve seen handsome men before, but I’ve never seen someone as handsome as you.” She smiled. She was flirting with him. Her sight never left Song Ling Xiao’s face. One wonders where she found the courage to stare at Song Ling Xiao for such a long time.

“Forget it. I still have things to do. I shall not argue with you and go off first.” After saying that, he quickly walked away. It was unexpected that the person who was pursued by so many girls would blush when girls looked at him. But, shouldn’t Xiao Qing be the one blushing? How did it end up being him?

The person who is pursued by so many girls will one day be seen by others as being shy.

The person who has a crush on someone is always worried about the other person and is afraid that the other person will notice it, but is also afraid that the other person will not notice it.

Xiao Qing looked at his back view and smiled secretly. She was quite impressed with herself; she had never spoken like this or done anything like this before. She felt that she had taken a step towards Song Ling Xiao, but she was afraid that it would make him think she was a shady person.

Suddenly it occurred to her: the pen was still with Song Ling Xiao. Forget it; it was just a pen. At most, she does not get it back. She wanted to use this pen to bring them closer together.

She went her way, but her steps were slow. She was designing the perfect scene and the perfect conversation for their next encounter. The scenes she imagined in her mind were always beautiful, and the speech was always well-organised. But if there was such an opportunity, the probability would be a mess. Someone like Song Ling Xiao with such a good character, good temper, and good looks. Everywhere he went, he brightened up, attracting others’ attention. And he did not stop; he always likes to run around. Other than attending classes, he would be in the public study room, leading many people to “accompany” him to study.

However, today Xiao Qing did not see Song Ling Xiao in the campus, study room, piano room and any other places. Did he get scared off by Xiao Qing? Or was he avoiding her on purpose?
