Chapter 88 - 88 Getting Closer
88 Getting Closer
The early spring sun was warm, and with the shade of the trees, it wouldn’t directly hit the eyes. In this weather, it was indeed very suitable for sleeping.
She asked Zhai Jing,
“How did you find this place?”
“I found it by accident,” Zhai Jing replied casually.
After he entered Mingcheng High School, he felt that he was out of place with his classmates and the environment around him. That was why he would subconsciously find a place to be alone when he was not in class.
Later on, during a P.E. class, he accidentally saw this small hill from the window in the corner and was attracted to it at first glance.
Therefore, as long as the weather was good, he would come here often, either to rest or to quietly do his own things.
“So, this is your secret base?” Said Le Wan in a muffled voice. She enjoyed the warmth of the sun.
“Not really.” Zhai Jing shook his head. “After all, the person who comes here often is the uncle who is in charge of cleaning the lawn.”
However, there was no response from the person beside him for a while. Zhai Jing turned his head and saw that Le Wan had closed her eyes. Her breathing had slowed down. She had fallen asleep.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile, and he simply turned sideways to face her.
Le Wan, who was sleeping soundly, had lost some of her usual sharpness and calmness. The baby fat on her cheeks that had not completely faded away made her look even more beautiful, and she still looked a little childish.
She was only 18 years old. She was still a little girl.
Zhai Jing’s hand slowly moved forward along the grass and finally rested his index finger on her little finger. He hesitated for a moment but still held it.
The sleeping Le Wan seemed to have noticed something and snorted softly. Zhai Jing’s conditioned reflex was to withdraw his hand, but Le Wan turned around and reached out to hug his arm. He then leaned his head on it.
Zhai Jing’s body stiffened, and he even held his breath subconsciously. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Le Wan’s steady and long breathing.
Le Wan, who was sound asleep, probably used his hand as a pillow.
Hence, when Le Wan woke up, what she saw when she opened her eyes was not the roof of her house or the shade of the trees. Instead, she saw Zhai Jing’s long eyelashes and straight nose. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that she was hugging someone’s arm.
Le Wan’s face flushed, and she felt a little embarrassed. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to continue holding him or let him go.
“It’s time for class.” Zhai Jing’s voice came from above.
Startled by the voice, Le Wan quickly let go of his hand and got up from the ground. She didn’t even dare to look at Zhai Jing’s face. She lowered her head and tidied her clothes, replying awkwardly and stiffly,
“Ah, yes, yes, yes. I’m going to be late.”
Zhai Jing also sat up and shook his numb arm.
“I’m sorry. I’m used to sleeping with things in my arms. I might have accidentally used your arm as my pillow,” Le Wan apologized.
When Zhai Jing saw that her ears and neck were red from embarrassment, he stopped teasing her and said,
“That means the place I recommended is not bad. You slept well.”
“Yes, it’s really good.” Le Wan agreed with him.
Of course, it could also be because she felt at ease with him by her side.
The two of them rushed back to the classroom before the bell rang.
Seeing that the teacher had not arrived yet, Feng Ying, who was sitting in the front, turned her head and looked at her face in surprise.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Le Wan touched her face.
Could it be that it was stained with grass or leaves? Why didn’t Zhai Jing remind her just now? On the way back, many people must have seen it, right?
Sigh, embarrassing again.
Le Wan took out her phone and turned on the selfie mode to take a picture of her face, only to find that her face was clean. She asked curiously,
“There’s nothing on my face. Then why are you looking at me with such a strange expression?”
Feng Ying replied,
“I was just curious and wanted to see if there were any marks on your face.”
Le Wan blinked. It took her a while to understand what Feng Ying meant. The image of her hugging Zhai Jing’s arm to sleep suddenly appeared in her mind. Before she could blush, she suddenly realized something and looked at Feng Ying in shock.
“Did you see it?”
Feng Ying saw that she was indeed clueless and reminded her kindly,
“I’m not the only one who saw it. Many people saw it.”
