As she drank the milk, she secretly raised her head to look in the direction of the podium. Teacher Zhao had come in to prepare for class. She quickly took two sips.
âDrink slowly. Itâs a little hot,â Qin Siting said.
âEn? Uu... but the teacher is here,â Shi Niange swallowed the hot milk in her mouth and said softly.
âIâm fine,â Qin Siting replied.
If he said it was fine, then it was really fine. Teacher Zhao only glanced at her and saw that she had almost finished her milk. He only glared at her to remind her to drink it quickly.
This time, Shi Niange drank even faster. After drinking it, because her mouth and lips were burning hot, she quickly stuck out her tongue and gently exhaled. Then she turned her head and smiled at Qin Siting.
Qin Siting turned around and saw that she was sticking her tongue out and smiling mischievously at him. His gaze landed on her slightly red lips and he immediately shifted his gaze back to the podium.
Shi Niange did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. She retracted her gaze and quickly placed the empty milk bottle down, preparing to concentrate on class.
However, as the teacher was lecturing, she could not help but think, if in Qin Sitingâs heart, she was not the same as the rest... then...
As the teacher turned to write on the blackboard, Shi Niange tilted her head and whispered to Qin Siting, âDid you remember the brand of milk I like to drink?â
âEn.â
He actually answered.
Although it was very light, he really answered.
In an instant, Shi Niange felt her heart tremble. It was so painfulthat she could not describe the feeling of being overwhelmed by joy. She felt everything.
Right now, she could no longer think carefully about why he would remember these things, and why he went out to buy milk for her because she was sleeping. He even asked the supermarket helper to heat it up and bring it back.
She just felt that Qin Siting was such a warm person. Everyone had a deep misunderstanding of him. How was he cold? He was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He was definitely a super warm man. He really deserved to be liked, okay?
Those female students who secretly had a crush on him really had the same taste as her!
After class, Shi Niange lowered her head to look at the empty glass bottle she had placed down. She felt as though she was about to fall deeper into Qin Sitingâs trap.
Did he like her?
After all, he did not dislike her or hate her.
Was he used to her, or did he like her a little? Or was it because of the friendship between deskmates? After all, they had been sitting together for more than a semester, more than half a year...
When they went to the school cafeteria for lunch in the afternoon, Zhao Xiaoqing waved her hand in front of Shi Niangeâs eyes. âCome back to your senses. A glass of milk from Almighty Qin has completely stolen your soul. Youâve been laughing foolishly all morning.â
Shi Niange looked at her, smiled and picked up her chopsticks to eat.
âIt looks like itâs going to rain tonight. Itâs been cloudy for several hours.â Zhao Xiaoqing turned to look out of the cafeteria window. âItâs almost summer, and the rainy season is coming soon.â
Only then did Shi Niange remember. âI woke up too early in the morning. I didnât read the weather forecast and forgot to bring an umbrella.â
âThen can you ask the driver to drive you back? Donât walk on the road tonight. Itâs been cloudy for the whole day. Itâll probably rain heavily.â
âWeâll see. It might not even happen.â
âDonât catch a cold again. The last time you caught a cold, you took a few days off. Itâs getting closer and closer to the college entrance examination. If you take another leave, Teacher Zhao will really come to talk to you.â
Shi Niange did not speak but glanced at the weather outside.
She wondered if Qin Siting had brought an umbrella.
It seemed like most men wouldnât be so careful and meticulous as to take a look at the weather forecast in the morning. He probably wouldnât look at it either. He probably didnât bring it with him.
Sure enough, it began to rain outside in the afternoon, but it was not too heavy. It was only a short rain, and there would be a while before it disappeared. Shi Niange was still praying that it would not rain after school.
In the end, the rain continued all the way until the sky turned dark. At 9: 30 p.m., although the rain was not heavy, it was not yet summer. The temperature was also slightly cold, and there were still some raindrops outside.
It was already so late. Uncle Qin had a lot of work to do recently. Usually, when her parents were not in the country, Uncle Qin would only come over occasionally to take care of her. Most of the time, he was on leave. However, as long as she called, he would come over immediately.
It was already so late. Uncle Qin was probably at home with his wife and children. She really didnât want to disturb him.
She followed Qin Siting out. When they arrived outside the school, a cool breeze carrying the scent of rain blew past. Before she could even shiver, a school uniform suddenly draped over her.
This uniform still had the faint scent of mint unique to Qin Siting. She was very familiar with this scent and remembered it after smelling it once.
Shi Niange turned around and saw that Qin Siting was only wearing a light-colored short-sleeved T-shirt. The school uniform outside was already draped over her.
âArenât you cold?â She quickly wanted to return the clothes to him, but the moment she took it down, she felt that it was indeed cold outside. âQuickly wear it back...â
Qin Siting did not take it. He had already walked down the stairs in front of the education block and calmly said, âWear it.â
âI donât need it. Iâm wearing clothes inside. Iâm also wearing my school uniform. Donât catch a cold.â Shi Niange didnât walk as fast as him. She quickly chased after him. âQuick, the clothes are for you.â
Qin Siting did not take it. He only glanced back at her. Shi Niangeâs hand paused on the clothes and she obediently put them on. She then looked at him and saw that his gaze had softened.
In fact, for the whole day, she had been sleeping in the morning. In the afternoon, she kept thinking about what had happened in the morning. She barely looked at Qin Siting. Now that she was walking by his side, although it was still drizzling, it shouldnât matter if she didnât hold an umbrella. The two of them walked together like this, but when they arrived outside the school gates, he stopped and said, âYou didnât call the chauffeur to pick you up?â
âI forgot.â She blinked.
âItâs raining. Donât walk so far tonight. Take a taxi back.â He pointed at the taxi passing by.
In fact, Shi Niange really wanted to walk home with him like last night. However, the weather was good last night and it was raining today. She couldnât let him send her back in the rain. Even if he was willing, she couldnât do so. She immediately replied, âOkay, Iâll take a taxi back. What about you?â
Qin Siting did not answer. From the corner of her eyes, she saw the familiar black business car parked there.
Shi Niange was astonished.
