The hallway became even more silent.
Jiang Su noticed the strangeness of the young girl in front of him and indifferently raised his head.
He stared at her for three seconds, following her gaze.
Seeing the ugly and disgusting scar on his wrist, he narrowed his eyes, then let go of her wrist and put his hand into his pocket.
With his action, Lin Wei came to her senses, but she had completely forgotten what she had just wanted to say.
Jiang Su glanced at Lin Wei, not seeing her intending to speak, he reluctantly moved his lips: "Is there anything else?"
Lin Wei said "Ah," shaking her head unconsciously: "No."
Jiang Su didn't speak, but stepped back two steps, as if to close the door again.
However, just as his hand touched the door, as if remembering something, he reached into his pocket, took half a step forward, and threw a small red box into the dish Lin Wei was holding.
With a crisp sound, she heard him say: "Returning the favor."
The door was closed again.
Lin Wei blinked, shoving a piece of cantaloupe into her mouth, and slowly lowered her head to look at the plate.
... Rainbow candy.
The new neighbor gave her a small box of rainbow candies as a return for the fruit platter.
...
"Brother Su! Lord Su! Boss Su! Su Su–"
A distance away from the computer, Jiang Su could already hear the shouts of Xu Shu, sounding from the headset.
Xu Shu, male, Jiang Su's middle school classmate for three years.
Both of them entered No. 4 Middle School together. However, Jiang Su, with a top score in the junior high school entrance exam, was admitted to the top class, while Xu Shu, with the lowest score, managed to get into the worst class no. 10 thanks to his parents' connections.
Now, two and a half years later, Jiang Su was still in class 1, and Xu Shu was still stuck in class 10. The only change was that Jiang Su had become Xu Shu's junior.
Jiang Su pulled the chair out, picked up the headset after sitting down, not in a hurry to put it on, and first said: "Shut up."
Xu Shu was immediately silent.
Only then did Jiang Su leisurely put on his headset, holding the mouse to control the character in the game, rushing towards Xu Shu.
"Brother Su, where did you go? You left the game on halfway," Xu Shu, a chatterbox, couldn't keep quiet for a minute, and couldn't help but start talking again.
Jiang Su yawned a long yawn: "Someone came."
"Ah? Who came?" Xu Shu asked, and then murmured, "Wait, didn't you just move to a new place? Both City Lord and I don't know the address yet. How did someone else know beforehand?"
City Lord's name was Cheng Zhu, who, like Xu Shu, was also Jiang Su's junior high school classmate. However, Cheng Zhu was studying music. His academic performance was not good or bad, which was considered above average among art students.
The three of them were originally planning to play games together that afternoon, but Cheng Zhu had to go to a vocal class at the last minute and stood Jiang Su and Xu Shu up.
"Brother Su, you have to tell me who came, you can keep secrets from City Lord, but you can't keep secrets from me..."
Jiang Su yawned again, his mind focused on the game, he absent-mindedly moved his lips: "..."
After a few seconds, he moved his lips again: "..."
What was the name of the girl next door?
Jiang Su's finger on the mouse paused, and he couldn't remember the name of the girl next door, but instead, her image popped into his mind.
The No. 4 Middle School uniform worn neatly on her body, the uniform's zipper neatly zipped to the top. Her clothes were clean, there was no dirt from head to toe. Her shoes were the simplest canvas shoes, they looked a bit old, the edges were fraying from washing, but there was no dust on the surface of the shoes.
At this age, girls, even though they were forced to wear school uniforms every day, they loved beauty at heart. Some would deliberately unzip the school uniform very low to display the beautiful collar inside. Others simply didn't zip up the school uniform, leaving it open or draped. They changed their looks to make themselves look more beautiful.
Some girls even painted their nails, wore a thin necklace hidden around their neck, and wore a pretty scrunchie on their wrist.
But the girl next door was different. She was very plain from head to toe, her voice was soft when she spoke, and her eyes looked scared when looking at people. Her pale and tender skin, paired with black and shiny eyes, made her look innocent and harmless.
At first glance, she was the type of obedient girl who was timid, listened to her parents, and was naive to the ways of the world.
However, the obedient girl with her mouth full of fruit, cheeks bulging, seemed... quite cute.
"Brother Su?"
Xu Shu's call brought Jiang Su back to reality.
"Brother Su, tell me who it was, you keep me guessing like this, it's like itching of the heart, I can't focus on the game, I..."
Jiang Su clicked on the mouse again, answering Xu Shu's chattering with a not very interested response: "Pretty cute."
"What?"
The one who came was 'Pretty cute.'
The disciplinarian 'Pretty cute.'
"Hah?" Xu Shu seemed a little disappointed: "So it was a delivery guy, but you don't like sweets, right? How come you eat 'Pretty cute' ice cream in the middle of winter? Don't you find it greasy?"
Jiang Su didn't seem like answering Xu Shu and turned down the headset volume slightly, his fingers rapidly tapping the keyboard.
Xu Shu, who had talked enough for one person, finally realized something was off about Jiang Su: "Wait, Brother Su, didn't you sleep last night? You're yawning non-stop."
Jiang Su made a sound of acknowledgment.
"So you really didn't sleep..." Xu Shu's voice gradually softened, after a few seconds: "Brother Su, could it be that you've been hanging out in the internet cafe every day and haven't gone home at all?"
Jiang Su answered inattentively again.
"Brother Su, are you really planning not to go home in the future?"
Jiang Su didn't even give a grunt this time.
It gradually darkened outside, the room was not lit, only the light from the computer screen was on his face.
His somewhat dejected eyes made him appear even colder and indifferent.
Xu Shu then realized that he was bringing up a sore subject, he kept quiet for a while, then changed the topic: "By the way, Brother Su, you know Han Yumo from our class, right?"
Jiang Su stared at the screen, his face expressionless: "I don't know."
"..."
Others might think that Jiang Su was pretending, but Xu Shu knew that he was telling the truth: "She's my deskmate. She really likes you, she pesters me every day for your contact information, and she always wants me to bring her along when I go out with you."
"She's really nice, her personality is good too, she treats me well, lends me her homework to copy, and during quizzes, she always shows me the answers."
"The main point is, Han Yumo is pretty, and her figure is good too, especially her chest, I think it must be at least a D cup... Brother Su, if I were you, I would give it a try..."
After Jiang Su quickly tapped the mouse and keyboard, defeating the BOSS, he shook his wrist, leaned back in the chair, took the mineral water and took a couple of gulps, lazily saying, "I get dizzy with big chests."
