Qin Siting looked at her. A few seconds later, he suddenly smiled gently at Shi Niange.
When he smiled, his eyes were very gentle. The streetlights fell into his eyes, as though there was a sea of stars.
At that moment, Shi Niange thought to herself, It doesnât matter if itâs someone elseâs gossip. I just like to follow behind you. As long as I can see you smile like this every day, Iâll be very satisfied.
However, she had run too fast. When she reached him, she could not help but cough twice.
Qin Siting raised his hand and gently patted her back.
Shi Niange looked at Qin Sitingâs gentle gaze and held back her cough. She raised her hand and patted her face as though to slow herself down. Then she smiled and said, âWhy did you suddenly come here? Donât you rarely participate in such activities?â
Qin Siting curled his lips. âIâm indeed not participating.â
âThen why did you come here so late at night?â
Speaking of this, she suddenly pointed at the KTV behind her. âBy the way, Zhao Xiaoqing and Hao Xiushe are still inside. Do you want to go in and sit for a while? Since youâre already here, why are you standing outside? If you donât want to sing, you can sit down and rest for a while. Sit down, chat and eat something. You definitely did not have anything good to eat while meeting with the school leaders.â
Qin Siting still did not speak, but his eyes were looking at her.
Shi Niange was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang.
She quickly picked up the phone. âHello, Grandfather?â
âYou went out to play with your classmates?â
âEn, outside. Didnât I say yesterday? Tonight, I have a good friend celebrating her birthday.â Shi Niange looked at Qin Siting in front of her and said to the phone, âGrandfather, did you go to my place?â
âNo, Iâm still in the laboratory. I glanced at the time and remembered that you said you had an event tonight. I called to confirm your safety.â
âHaha, Iâm definitely safe. Weâre all good friends who are usually together. Donât worry!â
âWhat time are you going back? Do you need a car to pick you up?â
âThereâs no need. Iâll take a taxi back. Iâm hanging up, Grandfather. Iâll go to your place during the weekend.â
She put down the phone and put it in her pocket. She looked up and saw that Qin Siting was still looking at her. She raised her head and her eyes were bright. âAlmighty Qin, are you passing by or did you come specially here? Itâs so late. Where are you going?â
Qin Siting said, âIâm not passing by.â
âOh, itâs not a road...â She nodded and was about to say something when she suddenly paused.
Not passing by, did he mean he came specially for something?
Why... did he come here?
She looked at him again, but a message from Zhao Xiaoqing asking if she had left or was outside came in. She took a look at her phone and replied: [Wait for me for a while, I havenât left.]
Then she asked, âAlmighty Qin, are you going in?â
âWhoâs inside?â he asked.
âItâs those in our class. You know that I skipped a grade and my relationship with the boys and girls in my class is also very average. After all, Iâve been missing out on our classmate relationship for two years. Itâs already very lucky for me to know you, Xiaoqing, and Hao Xiushe. Iâm not very familiar with the other people, but itâs Xiaoqingâs birthday, so Iâm playing with them here for a while.â As she spoke, she reached out to pull his arm, wanting him to go in with her.
However, just as she was about to touch Qin Sitingâs arm, she quickly stopped. What was her relationship with him? Usually, they were deskmates. It was normal for her to accidentally touch his arm. When his hand was injured, it was also normal for her to hold his hand to bandage it. However, in the middle of the night, he was still at the KTV entrance. It didnât seem right for her to hold him for no reason. She smiled again. âHehe, do you want to go in and sit?â
Qin Sitingâs beautiful brows moved slightly as he looked at her hand.
After two seconds, he gently raised his arm and placed it against her palm.
It was almost summer. The weather at night was not cold, but it was slightly cooler than in the day. He was wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and casual pants. When he came close, her palm touched his skin. The warmth passed through her palm instantly entered her heart.
Shi Niange suddenly recalled the feeling when Qin Siting held her hand previously.
That indescribable throbbing.
Right now, it was even more so because he took the initiative to hand her his arm.
She directly held his arm, and the two of them walked toward the KTV entrance. As she held his arm, she was still hesitating whether she should press her hand against his forearm or raise it to maintain a polite distance.
Before she could come up with an answer, several drunk men walked out of the KTV entrance. They were in a hurry and bumped into her. She staggered and leaned toward Qin Siting. Even when her hand was completely pressed against his, she almost fell into his arms.
Qin Siting was clearly dissatisfied as he glanced at the people who had already staggered away. He lowered his head to look at her. âAre you all right?â
Of course!
She actually leaned into his arms again!
Shi Niange pretended to be calm and moved away from his embrace. She continued holding his arm. âItâs fine. Those people drank too much. Itâs too common in such a place. Itâs fine, itâs fine. Letâs go in.â
When they walked in, Shi Niange held pressed her palm against his arm.
In fact, the main entrance of the KTV was quite a distance away from the private room on the second floor. They could take the elevator up, but it was only the second floor. Shi Niange could not bear to shorten the time they had to walk together, so she simply walked up the stairs in the middle of the KTV with him.
As the two of them walked up step by step, Shi Niange lowered her head to look at Qin Sitingâs casual pants.
Why were his legs so long...
Usually, when he wore the school uniform, she would know that he was tall and had long legs. However, the school uniform was not especially revealing his figure. Now that she saw him wearing such casual pants, she really felt that he looked good.
The Qin familyâs background was too strong. It was unlikely that Qin Siting would debut as a celebrity. Otherwise, if he were to be dug out by a celebrity, he would definitely become an especially handsome celebrity.
But if he really became a star, then she would have too many love rivals. Just thinking about it made her especially nervous.
Qin Sitingâs arm moved. She raised her head to look at him and saw that he had stopped after walking up to the second floor. He lowered his eyes to look at her. âWhat happened to your hand?â
Earlier, she had suddenly tightened her grip. Cough, it was because she had thought of the possibility of having too many love rivals. Unexpectedly, her body reacted first and she actually tightened her grip.
Shi Niange blinked and changed the topic. âYou havenât said it yet. Why did you suddenly come here?â
