27: Someone is selling nuclear bombs on the roadside?

After Xiao Anyi finished speaking, she was about to open the door and leave.

Seeing this, Wang Yuxin teased, "What, you're going out in your pajamas? And, what are you wearing inside..."

Xiao Anyi heard this and immediately realized, looking down at her outfit with an embarrassed expression.

"You didn't say anything, I completely forgot! I'm going to change."

Two and a half minutes later!

The dorm door opened, then closed again.

This left Wang Yuxin stunned.

"No way, that fast? Are you the Flash?"

Saying this, she sent the address to Xiao Anyi.

She thought to herself, 'My younger brother, Older Sister, I've worried myself sick over you!'

Meanwhile, when Xiao Anyi found Wang Zixuan, he was sitting on a park bench by the road, staring blankly at the sky, with an empty beer bottle at his feet and his face slightly flushed.

Seeing this, Xiao Anyi thought he was drunk and quickly jogged over.

"Wang Zixuan!"

Hearing this unexpected yet familiar voice, Wang Zixuan looked down and said with some surprise, "Xiao An Yi? Why is it you? Did you come with Older Sister? Where is she?"

As he spoke, he looked behind her, but didn't see that familiar figure.

Xiao Anyi, however, stammered, "Yuxin, she... she couldn't get away, so she asked me to come and take you back to school."

"Oh, I see. Sit down, chat with me for a bit."

He smiled and patted the empty spot beside him. After she sat down, he looked up at the night sky again and murmured, "Xiao An Yi, what do you think of me?"

Xiao Anyi heard this, turned her head, and looked at his profile with sparkling eyes. Although she didn't know why Wang Zixuan suddenly asked her this question.

But after three seconds of thought, she said softly, "You're great! Not only are you handsome, you're good at your studies, and you're considerate. Why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Haha, but she said I couldn't give her the life she wanted. What a ridiculous and pathetic excuse. She didn't even bother to come up with a fresher excuse. Now I understand, she doesn't like me at all. Being with me was just a novelty. When I was little, whenever I was sad, I'd always run into Older Sister's arms and cry. It's the same today; when I'm sad, I call her for comfort."

He paused for a few seconds, sniffed, and let out a long breath, saying, "I think it's time for me to grow up too. Thank you, Xiao An Yi, for being willing to listen to me."

Xiao Anyi's expression froze when she heard this. She lowered her head, and her mind instantly replayed the words Wang Yuxin had said before she came out.

'My brother only confides in family, or the people he trusts most.'

Thinking of this, she was clearly very happy inside.

Wang Zixuan looked at her dazed expression, not knowing what she was thinking, but it was the first time he had looked at her so intently.

Actually, he knew very well that Wang Yuxin wasn't unable to get away; she must have sent Xiao Anyi.

Because he knew Xiao Anyi's feelings for him, but at that time, he already had a girlfriend.

Neither of them spoke, and the air instantly became quiet.

Xiao Anyi clearly felt the atmosphere was a bit off. She looked up, and their eyes met for a moment.

Under the moonlight, time seemed to stand still at that moment.

After less than three seconds of eye contact, both of them quickly turned their heads. Wang Zixuan even laughed awkwardly, "Haha, the sun is really bright, a bit dazzling."

Pfft~

Xiao Anyi heard this and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "But it's night now, where would the sun come from?"

Wang Zixuan now really wanted to find a hole to crawl into; it was too embarrassing.

But fortunately, he had an excuse. He pretended to be drunk, stumbled to his feet, made a gesture to block the sun with one hand, and pointed at the moon with the other, saying, "Ah, isn't that the sun? Huh, why are the cars on the road flying? And why is someone selling nuclear bombs over there?"

Coupled with his already flushed face, he looked genuinely drunk.

Seeing this, Xiao Anyi quickly helped him, "You're drunk. Let's go, we'll go back to school."

A delicate fragrance lingered at her nose. To avoid awkwardness between them, he simply closed his eyes and let her help him walk towards the school.

The streetlights along the road cast their shadows overlapping.

Just like that, they walked a distance in silence. Xiao Anyi secretly observed the man beside her. When she saw that he seemed to have fallen asleep.

Her heart thumped rapidly. After cautiously calling Wang Zixuan's name a few times and seeing no reaction from him.

She took a deep breath and muttered to herself, "Wang Zixuan, do you know? When Yuxin and I went to pick you up for enrollment, when I saw you, my heart was beating as fast as it is now."

"At that time, I didn't even know why I felt that way. It wasn't until I spent some time with you that I realized, I think... I've fallen for you."

"You're the first person I've ever liked. When I gathered the courage to confess to you, you just happened to have a girlfriend. It felt like fate was playing a trick on me, and in the end, I could only keep my love hidden in my heart."

"If you could be happy, I think I would be happy too, right? But that night, my heart ached so much. I understood then, it was the pain of unrequited love. My outward composure was nothing more than self-deception."

"At the time, I wondered, if I had confessed my feelings to you sooner, would that woman by your side have been me?"

After speaking, she gently called Wang Zixuan's name twice again. Seeing that he still didn't react.

She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Her feelings were very conflicted now; she both wanted him to hear and was afraid of him hearing.

Perhaps she was afraid of rejection.

In reality, what she didn't know was that Wang Zixuan was perfectly sober at that moment.

Without a word, she escorted Wang Zixuan back to his school dorm. When she returned to her own dorm.

Wang Yuxin didn't ask anything. It wasn't until she changed into her pajamas and lay on her bed that she asked curiously, "How was it?"

"How was what? He was drunk, and he fell asleep on the way back."

Hearing this, Wang Yuxin retorted, "Impossible! Don't I know him? He's allergic to alcohol, and his face turns red as soon as he drinks, even just one glass. Even if he's heartbroken, he wouldn't risk his life."

Xiao Anyi was dumbfounded when she heard this. She really hadn't known that, after all, they never drank during their previous gatherings.

"Yuxin, are you sure? He said he saw someone selling nuclear bombs by the road. Isn't that being drunk?"

???

Wang Yuxin's face was full of question marks at this moment. What? Someone selling nuclear bombs by the road?

No, my younger brother, that's a bit far-fetched, isn't it?

"Were there a lot of empty beer bottles around him?"

Xiao Anyi heard this, recalled carefully, and shook her head, "No, I don't think so. Just one, and it wasn't even finished."

As she spoke, she seemed to realize something, "If he wasn't drunk, then... then everything I said wasn't..."

Thinking of this, she pulled the blanket over herself, and the delicate little face under the covers instantly turned red to her earlobes.
