CH 21

Tang Xia looked away in a panic.

Tang Xuan glanced out the window, then looked at her, “Is that your classmate?”

“Hmm…not really.” The girl scratched her head to ease her embarrassment. Han Yu is not her classmate, so she should be right to say that…

“Oh,” Tang Xuan shrugged noncommittally, and finally smiled inexplicably, “But Xiao Xia, he is looking at you.”

Tang Xia was startled, and subconsciously turned her head to look again.

The young man who was wearing only a thin sweater in the cold wind was really looking at her through the clear floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

He should have been frozen, his lips were very pale, but those deep eyes reflected different emotions.

Tang Xia murmured: “The ones in the same grade must look familiar…”

Tang Xuan nodded, put down his chopsticks and frowned, “Does he have mysophobia?”

Tang Xuan heard the movement from Han Yu’s side just now, and had a general understanding of what happened, so he was quite puzzled by the young man’s behavior of throwing his coat away in a hurry.

“I don’t know.” Tang Xia secretly slandered, she only knew that his temper and character were bad enough.

“It’s cold, your classmate will catch a cold like this.” Tang Xuan handed her coat to Tang Xia, and she seemed to think of something, then withdrew her hand, “No, if he has mysophobia, he’ll think my clothes are too dirty. He wouldn’t be willing to wear it.”

Tang Xia glared at him, “Brother, why are you so kind?”

Tang Xuan was surprised. In his impression, his younger sister was always gentle and kind. Normally, she would have let her make things easier for her classmates. Why is she so abnormal today?

“Tell me the truth,” Tang Xuan suddenly approached, “Is there something you are hiding from brother?”

Tang Xia didn’t understand, “What can I hide from you?” She was confused, but she understood when she saw Tang Xuan blinking at her with an all-knowing smile, and then glanced at Han Yu.

“What are you thinking?!” Tang Xia was annoyed, and raised her hand to hit Tang Xuan’s arm. The force was very light, but her tone was heavy, “Let’s go, I’m full.”

Tang Xuan was just joking, but Tang Xia seemed disgusted. If that boy really liked her or what she liked, he would have blushed, instead of being so angry now.

Qi Hui outside the shop followed Han Yu’s gaze and saw Tang Xia, he was overjoyed, then stunned.

Oh, by the way, Han Yu is in a stalemate with her, and he definitely won’t be willing to ask other girls to borrow money.

“I’m leaving.”

While thinking, the indifferent young man turned around and wanted to leave.

Qi Hui called back to him, “Going home?”

Han Yu didn’t turn his head back, and said in a cool tone, “Otherwise, do you want me to freeze to death?”

“…” Qi Hui choked, “You’re not going to watch the fireworks? Brother, I escaped to accompany you!”

Han Yu didn’t answer, shrugged his shoulders, lowered his head, and hurried away.

This damn weather is really cold, the cold current is wrapped in a biting wind, penetrating from every corner of the body, cutting every inch of skin like a knife, the pain is so painful that he almost lost consciousness.

Han Yu came here on foot, and he didn’t bring any money or card with him, so it’s really hard to go back now.

Not far away, a shadow suddenly approached around him.

From the corner of his eye, the young man saw a small black Q car slowing down, pulling over and stopping after honking its horn.

The car window was rolled down, and the person in the driver’s seat had a handsome face, with his arms on the steering wheel, and smiled politely at him: “Are you Xiao Xia’s classmate?”

Han Yu frowned, his eyes pierced and fell on the girl in the passenger seat who pursed her lips and said nothing.

“It’s too cold, where do you live? We’ll take you back.”

Tang Xuan went to take the driver’s license test after the university entrance examination. This car is used for practice on weekdays, and he is confident driving it near his home.

Han Yu was silent, and said after a while: “No, thank you.”

Unexpectedly, Tang Xuan had already opened the door of the back seat with his backhand, “You’re welcome, get in.”

About ten seconds later, Tang Xia, who turned her head to the other side, heard the sound of Han Yu getting into the car.

She couldn’t tell what mood he was in, but she didn’t want to make the atmosphere awkward and unsightly in front of her brother, so she just shrank her face into the thick scarf and closed her eyes to rest.

Perhaps Han Yu’s thought was the same as hers. Although he was a little indifferent after getting in the car, he still politely answered Tang Xuan’s nonchalant chat.

“So your house is just ahead,” Tang Xuan looked at Han Yu from the rearview mirror, “We are on the way.”

Tang Xia listened, and finally confirmed that Han Yu lived in the neighborhood next to her own.

But now she didn’t feel happy at all.

The temperature of the heater in the car was turned on high, it was extremely warm, Tang Xia curled up into a ball, drowsy.

“You are her brother?”

Suddenly, there was a clear sound, which made Tang Xia completely sleepless.

“Yes,” Tang Xuan nodded, “We don’t look alike, do we?”

Tang Xia raised her eyes secretly, and Han Yu’s gaze in the rearview mirror was also looking straight over.

“Well, I don’t have the same personality.” The boy said.

Tang Xia was so angry that she wanted to laugh.

After sending Han Yu to the gate of the community, the night was already so dark that he could hardly see his fingers.

Tang Xuan told him, “Be careful on the road.”

Han Yu lowered his eyes to thank him, and when he turned around, his back melted into the night in an instant, leaving only the white sweater looming, outlining the young man’s thin shoulders.

Tang Xia couldn’t help but looked over.

She suddenly felt that Han Yu’s figure was terrifyingly lonely.

Tang Xuan turned the steering wheel back, turned the car around, and drove away slowly.

Han Yu heard the sound of the engine gradually disappearing, then pressed the electronic lock, bowed his head and went upstairs.

The house was as deserted and lonely as it was before he left. Han Yu hurried into the bedroom, took a coat from the closet and put it on, his nose was red from the cold.

After boiling water and drinking a cup of hot tea, the boy rubbed his temples, which were a little sore from the wind, and got into bed directly.

This time he slept in a muddle, and no matter how tightly he rolled up the quilt, he always felt the wind blowing in, and his whole body was icy cold.

Waking up from the cold in the middle of the night, Han Yu turned on the light and sat up, his nose was blocked and his throat was already showing signs of pain.

This cold is really menacing…

He took out his phone and checked the time, it was just past midnight. There are many unread messages displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, and you don’t need to look at them to know that they are the kind of New Year greetings sent in groups.

Han Yu stuffed the phone back under the pillow, endured the headache and went back to sleep.

The next day, he fell completely ill.

There was no one at home, so Han Yu struggled to get up to wash, put on two sweaters and a heavy down jacket, barely ate some expired bread, and took a taxi to the pharmacy.

He is still afraid of trouble, the hospital is fine, just buy some cold medicine by himself.

He fell ill on the first day of the new year, and there is always a feeling that this year will not go well…

Han Yu sighed silently, and bought two boxes of antipyretics and anti-inflammatory medicines that were said to work well on the recommendation of the clerk. Before leaving, he bought an extra bottle of cough medicine for no reason.

Just after leaving the pharmacy, Qi Hui’s phone call came in.

Han Yu’s voice was a little hoarse, and he only asked softly, “Huh?” His voice was very nasal and rough.

But Qi Hui didn’t hear it all at once, and shouted on the other end of the phone——

“Han Yu! The test results are out! I’m in class six of physics, you can check it on the school website!”
