Zhou Chun listened to the other personâs questioning, only to feel a bitter taste in her mouth. She bit her lower lip tightly, and her smile seemed somewhat forced.
Her name is Zhou Chun, and sheâs just like her nameâpure and beautiful. Her elegance from ballet made her even more attractive. She became famous after her performance at the school anniversary. She has many admirers at school, and sheâs considered the standard first love face in many boysâ eyes.
Although the boy in front of her had a poor impression of her due to Qin Yue, seeing Zhou Chun like this, he couldnât help but soften. Hesitating for a few seconds, he replied, "Itâs not that I wonât call him for you; itâs that heâs not back at the dorm. He took his friends out for dinner."
"Do you know where theyâre eating? When will they be back?" Zhou Chun immediately asked, her eyes bright as she looked up. Her gaze seemed to be suddenly filled with life, making people instinctively wonder if there was some misunderstanding between her and Qin Yue, and that there were certainly hidden details in past events.
Thinking of this, the boyâs tone became even more gentle: "I donât know. Itâs just those few shops outside. You can check those places where Qin Yue often took you to eat before."
"Okay, thank you." Zhou Chun immediately smiled, holding a lunchbox in her arms, formally bowing to him, making the boy feel embarrassed instead.
After leaving the boyâs dorm, Zhou Chun didnât go out of the school gate to search for Qin Yue. Instead, she found a place to sit on a tree-lined path Qin Yue must pass through, braving the cold wind to wait for him. But unexpectedly, this wait lasted more than two hours.
Qin Yue returned to school, accompanied by Lu Zishu and Ruan Lei, intending to go back to the dorm to pack his luggage.
Amid laughter and chatter, he suddenly saw the beautiful and frozen Zhou Chun sitting under a sycamore tree with a lunchbox in her arms. Qin Yueâs smile instantly vanished; his gaze quickly shifted away, pretending not to see her, and pulled Lu Zishu and Ruan Lei along to leave, but Zhou Chun blocked his path.
Beiduâs winter nights sometimes drop below seven or eight degrees below zero. Even during the day, the temperature is close to zero, even if itâs a bit higher.
In such weather, Zhou Chun was still wearing a half-knitted skirt, exposing her red, chilled ankles. She had intended to act reserved when she saw Qin Yue approaching, but he just ignored her and headed for the dorm. She could only muster the courage to approach.
"Whatâs up?" Qin Yue is not the type of guy with a great temper. His nature is a bit rebellious, and he became friends with Ruan Lei back in high school because of fights. He also dated many girls during high school. Although each relationship ended quickly, he seldom truly put effort into pursuing a girl seriously. However, once in a relationship, he wouldnât be fickle or unfaithful, always starting a new relationship only after the previous one ended.
Chasing Zhou Chun was the most effort he ever put into a relationship, being the most serious. For an entire semester, he was devoted to her, rarely showing off his rebellious side, only to receive such a fierce blow.
From the moment she met Qin Yue, Zhou Chun was cherished and held by him, never spoken to in such a cold tone. Instantly, her face turned pale, and before she spoke, her eyes reddened. She bowed her head, very softly, very quietly apologized, "Iâm sorry."
