"Is there anything that makes you happy?"
The girl's smile was exceptionally beautiful. She lightly nudged the boy's shoe with her toe, playful and cute, with faint dimples.
"Just happy."
Seeing Yu An's discomfiture brought her great joy.
He Ji's thin lips curved upwards slightly, a barely perceptible arc that Shen Yue failed to notice.
—
Yu An dropped out of school.
Shen Yue knew who was responsible, as only that person would do something like this.
The meeting place with Jiang Wei was still the rooftop, but the scope was no longer limited to the rooftop.
Every time class ended, Shen Yue would go to find Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei would text her in advance, and she would go to the designated spot.
This time, Jiang Wei was on the basketball court.
Shen Yue messaged He Ji, asking him to go to the library first and that she would join him later.
After buying a bottle of mineral water from a store, Shen Yue headed to the basketball court.
There weren't many people on the court, just Jiang Wei and a few of his close friends.
Jiang Wei was tall, his muscles smooth and well-defined, a striking sight.
When Shen Yue arrived, Jiang Wei had been playing for an hour. He saw her familiar figure, casually tossed the ball to someone next to him, and walked towards Shen Yue.
Shen Yue looked up, her red lips revealing white teeth, her dark, moist eyes shimmering. "Aren't you going to play more?"
Jiang Wei took the mineral water from Shen Yue's hand. Looking at the girl smiling up at him, she appeared clean and well-behaved.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he drank most of the mineral water in his hand. He lowered his gaze, his defiant brows sharp and arrogant.
"Are you hungry?"
Shen Yue understood the deeper meaning of his words. She nodded, unable to refuse.
The two of them moved to a secluded corner. Jiang Wei did not rush to kiss her as usual, stretching his neck. His eyelashes were thick, his pupils dark, and his nose was high-bridged. He simply kept his head down, staring at Shen Yue.
The girl's features were beautiful, her hair dark and soft. Her eyes were so clear and serene, like a tranquil lake in spring.
Her full lips were like ripe berries, their surface glistening with rich juice.
At this moment, she stood quietly before him, obedient and endearing.
"Don't be so close to He Ji lately."
His voice was somewhat hoarse, carrying an inexplicable sexiness.
Shen Yue didn't understand. She merely stared at Jiang Wei with confusion, lost and innocent.
Jiang Wei couldn't articulate his feelings. He simply didn't want to see Shen Yue so close to other men, to have her lips bruised from his kiss only to turn around and seek out another man.
The girl shook her head, indicating refusal.
Jiang Wei's temperament allowed no refusal from anyone. Accustomed to being at the top, no one dared to defy him or refuse him.
His eyes darkened, deep and obscure, his aura becoming instantly forceful and dangerous.
The girl was timid and seemed somewhat frightened by his gaze. She was already delicate and beautiful, and at this moment, her dark, moist eyes were shimmering with tears, like a startled fawn. Her skin was fair, her lips red, and her long eyelashes trembled lightly.
Jiang Wei was about to raise his hand, intending to pinch her delicate chin. But then, for some reason, he lowered his gaze, his Adam's apple bobbing.
His slender fingertips gently rubbed her lip, which still ached slightly from kissing too hard yesterday. It was still red, as if lipstick had been applied.
Shen Yue was bewildered by this sudden action, looking at Jiang Wei blankly.
Her back trembled slightly, as if she were resistant and afraid.
Jiang Wei frowned and said expressionlessly, "I don't like to repeat myself."
The girl fell silent, her red lips vivid, her tear-filled eyes conveying a gentle helplessness.
Her lips were very red, but her eyes were as pure as a child's.
He leaned down and lifted Shen Yue's chin, his thumb caressing the corner of her lips. It hurt a little.
Shen Yue looked at him with her eyes, but they did not reflect his image.
Jiang Wei didn't care. He kissed her fragrant and soft lips.
Though they had kissed many times, Shen Yue always seemed unable to master kissing. She never knew how to breathe properly, her fair face turning completely red, her eyelids showing a faint blush, which was particularly endearing.
Looking at her, Jiang Wei's anger inexplicably dissipated.
Shen Yue always kept her eyes open during their kisses. Her dark eyes seemed to be misting over, as if she, too, were falling into it.
However, this time, she saw another familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
She didn't know how long they had been standing there.
Shen Yue's pupils contracted violently. Without thinking, she shoved Jiang Wei away. She didn't know where she found the strength, but she actually managed to push him away.
Jiang Wei, who had been deeply engrossed, was furious at being pushed away. Just as he was about to question her, he noticed that Shen Yue's condition was not quite right.
Her vacant, unfocused eyes were fixed on the spot behind him.
There was a hint of panic.
Jiang Wei turned his head in confusion and saw Song Yan.
He raised an eyebrow, his expression placid.
"What? You like watching other people kiss?"
Song Yan, always gentle and refined, couldn't help but frown at the scene. It was rather inappropriate, after all, being in public.
He didn't look at Shen Yue, but spoke earnestly to Jiang Wei, "Don't be so blatant in the future. If you must, go to the grove or the equipment room."
Song Yan didn't notice that the girl's face turned pale as he said this.
Jiang Wei didn't care. He even felt Song Yan was being nosy.
"What's it to you? Get lost."
From his tone, it was clear that he and Song Yan were quite familiar. Their personalities were diametrically opposed, yet they had become friends, largely due to their similar family backgrounds and continued interactions.
Song Yan didn't like to interfere. As he turned to leave, he glanced at the girl from the corner of his eye.
But the girl had her head down, so he didn't see her expression clearly and didn't dwell on it.
Jiang Wei's mood was ruined, and he was extremely irritable. He turned around and saw Shen Yue's pale face, with fine beads of cold sweat appearing on her forehead.
He was startled, thinking something had happened to Shen Yue.
His tone was tinged with an urgency and concern he didn't even recognize.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Yue slightly hunched her back, her pale knuckles tensed. Her voice was pitiably small. "Someone saw us..."
Jiang Wei heard her and found it somewhat amusing. So what if someone saw them? It wasn't a big deal. Why was she so timid?
He held the girl's slender body tightly in his arms, his tone unusually gentle for once.
"It's okay, don't worry. I won't let him say anything."
