Chapter 43 Aquarium, Zoo, Disney... Terrible!
The library's huge floor-to-ceiling windows were crystal clear. After entering the library, Xu Chaomu found a spot that wasn't exactly in a corner, put down her bag, and then absentmindedly glanced out the window.
From his perspective, he could clearly see Shi Sui.
The girl had her back to him; the wind blew through the branches and leaves, dispelling the heat, and the shadows of the camphor trees fell, creating a serene and beautiful scene.
Not long after, another person appeared opposite Shi Sui.
Xu Chaomu frowned and subconsciously glanced at Chi Yan.
The boy was wearing a casual sports jacket. He was very tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, and exuded an air of nobility combined with an unruly demeanor.
Xu Chaomu couldn't hear what they were saying, nor could she see Shi Sui's expression. She could only see her moving closer to Chi Yan. Chi Yan frowned impatiently, but his eyes held a hint of joy.
If you want to reject it, you will welcome it.
Standing together, they are a perfect match in terms of height and looks, frequently attracting the attention of passersby.
Xu Chaomu clenched her fingers tightly, as if a needle had pierced her eye, which was extremely irritating.
He didn't think Shi Sui would like Chi Yan.
Although there were rumors on the forums that Shi Sui was pursuing Chi Yan, it was clear that someone was deliberately creating public opinion. Xu Chaomu didn't believe it; he trusted the Shi Sui he knew better.
Shi Sui, whom he knew, was a person focused on learning, and she never refused to talk to him about anything related to studying.
For example, he would ask her to go to the bookstore to buy books or to the library to study.
But does Chi Yan Yue like Shi Sui?
Before today, Xu Chaomu was certain he wouldn't like this, but after today, he's a little less sure.
Outside the glass window, at the library entrance, Chi Yan hung up Pei Shuoxun's call, feeling somewhat irritated.
—Didn't you say you were rejecting her? What, are you going on a date?
He decided to give Shi Sui one last chance, looked down into her eyes, and asked, "Not going to the aquarium?"
"Don't go."
"Not going to the zoo?" The previous one doesn't count; you have one last chance.
"Don't go."
"Not going to Disneyland?" Last time doesn't count; this really is the last time.
"Don't go."
How could she answer so readily, without any hesitation? Was his suggestion of a date location really that bad? After a moment of silence, Chi Yan asked, "...Does it have to be the library?"
Shi Sui nodded.
If she doesn't study in the library, is she going to study at the aquarium, zoo, or Disneyland? That's so absurd.
“Okay.” Chi Yan was about to agree, but then he remembered Pei Shuoxun’s phone call.
A voice inside him was waking him up: his original intention was to reject Shi Sui, not to repeatedly compromise and agree to dates with her at the library! What was the difference between this and watching her do her homework at school every day?
Exactly! Why should he make concessions? Why should he compromise? He just doesn't want to go on a date at the library!
Even if Shi Sui was slow to notice, she could sense the change in the boy's emotions. He exuded an aura of "I'm angry" from head to toe.
I was thinking of agreeing to go to the aquarium with him, but now I don't need to.
There was a pufferfish puffing up right across from her.
"You just stay in the library and read your books. If you don't want these things, just throw them in the trash. I'm leaving. I'm warning you, don't bother me."
Chi Yan angrily shoved the gift bag into Shi Sui's arms and turned to leave.
Shi Sui was stunned to find herself clutching the gift bag again.
"Hurry up and catch up!" Chi Yan walked angrily, initially taking large strides, but then, as if remembering something, she slowed down, waiting for someone to catch up.
As he walked, he was still thinking that if she caught up with him, he would reluctantly agree to a date at the library, considering how persistent she was.
But Shi Sui didn't catch up.
The gift bag in her arms was a hot potato. For a second, she looked around to see where there was a trash can.
No, this isn't about where the clothes are. Shi Sui couldn't figure out what she had done to upset her deskmate.
Was he angry because she didn't want the clothes?
Or is it that he got angry because she didn't want to go to the aquarium, zoo, or Disneyland with him?
It's so annoying! Why do I, a grown adult, still need someone to accompany me to aquariums, zoos, Disneyland, etc.? I'm not a three-year-old who gets lost. Isn't it better to play by myself?
The car door slammed shut with a loud bang, Chi Yan's actions clearly showing his bad mood.
He rested one hand on the car window, smelling a faint scent of tobacco. He glanced at the other person in the car and said with displeasure, "You're smoking in the car again. It stinks. Get out of here."
"Is your nose that sensitive, like a dog's?" Pei Shuoxun asked after spraying some deodorizing spray, "Did you reject her?"
"No need for further explanation, I clearly rejected her." Chi Yan said, glancing casually toward the library.
He saw the girl standing there holding a gift bag, looking around as if lost in thought, before finally turning around and walking towards the library, looking dejected.
His back view was lonely and sad.
She seemed to be in a bad mood. Was it because of the hurtful things he said earlier?
After imagining it for a moment, Chi Yan asked Pei Shuoxun, "Have you and Shangguan Ying ever been to an aquarium?"
"No."
Have you and Shangguan Ying ever been to the zoo?
"No."
Have you and Shangguan Ying ever been to Disneyland?
"No." Pei Shuoxun reacted instinctively, "Why are you asking this? Did she just invite you to the aquarium, zoo, or Disneyland?"
"No."
The pufferfish deflated, and Chi Yan decided to forgive her. Even Pei Shuoxun and Shangguan Ying stopped going there for dates. Ultimately, it turned out that the aquarium, zoo, and Disneyland were just too terrible.
Shi Sui entered the library carrying a gift bag.
Xu Chaomu's chosen seat wasn't hard to find. As soon as she sat down, before she even had time to take out her study guide and pencil case from her bag, Shi Sui heard the boy softly ask her, "Do you like Chi Yan?"
