Zhi Ying couldn't relax at all because of the overly intimate gesture.
"Sorry." Jiang Wei apologized suddenly after a moment of silence.
Zhi Ying laid quietly on the bed, but her mind had already been distracted.
"I'm sorry for bringing you here so abruptly." Jiang Wei repeated.
"It's okay, thank you for preventing my fall." Zhi Ying replied to his apology, relying on her instinctive reaction.
Jiang Wei thought for a moment that he would just disregard everything and tell Zhi Ying his feelings, but in the end he just turned his head and remained silent.
Zhi Ying tried hard to recall the tips from "Book of Love" in her mind, trying to find ways and techniques to deal with this moment.
But before she could come up with something, Jiang Wei spoke first.
"I am going back, you can call me if you need anything." After Jiang Wei finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the door shyly, hiding the redness threatening to creep up his face from the tip of his ears.
…
The next morning, instead of waiting downstairs for Zhi Ying to come down, Jiang Wei went upstairs and knocked on her door.
Inside, hearing the doorbell being rung, Zhi Ying quickly came out to answer the door.
After Zhi Ying had recuperated properly overnight, although the bruises on her knee still looked horrifying, it didn't hurt as much as yesterday.
"You..." Zhi Ying wanted to ask him why came up again, but remembered that it was already time to go to school and immediately swallowed her words back into her mouth.
"Are you ready?" Jiang Wei asked naturally.
Zhi Ying rushed to take her school bag from the living room despite her aching knee, put on a piece of clothing casually before putting on her school uniform on top.
"I got up late today, sorry," Zhi Ying apologized for the delay as she hurriedly went out with Jiang Wei.
"Your knee…is it better?" Jiang Wei's eyes fell on Zhi Ying's knee.
"Mhm, it doesn't hurt anymore." Zhi Ying wanted to jump up twice to prove it, but before she could even jump, she was held down by Jiang Wei, fully aware of her nature by now.
…
"Mhm, Zhi Ying, look at the scarf I bought!" The class president excitedly rushed over to Zhi Ying during the first period break.
There were a pair of monkeys on the scarf that sat on the class president's shoulders. The monkeys were very vividly made, but their tails were too long.
"Did you find that store?" Zhi Ying asked, looking at the monkey on the class president's shoulder.
The class president nodded sharply, exclaiming proudly "That store is very hidden, I had to look for it for a very long time!"
The class president adjusted the woolen scarf, and immediately burst into confidence. He felt that he would definitely get a good grade in the exam.
After all, both first and second place of the grade were wearing this same kind of scarf, so it must have its connotation.
Han Jiaojiao, who was originally immersed in her English book, was finally attracted by the class president's excited words.
"Can you give me the address?" She asked the class president, "I want to buy one too."
The class president gazed at Han Jiaojiao in surprise, and whispered, "There was only one left when I went."
Han Jiaojiao, who didn't manage to buy the scarf, was a little annoyed, and she glared at Jiang Wei who was sitting in the back row quietly.
Zhao Qian, who was beside her, was also a little confused. This was because Jiang Wei had been wearing this scarf for many days.
Even though everyone was uniformly wearing these school uniforms, Jiang Wei was well known for his particularity, yet he still wore this scarf all the time.
Watching the class president walking away, Zhi Ying let out a small sigh recalling the "Book of Love" mentioning that gifts should be unique.
Zhi Ying thought that the store was going to close down because of the old fashioned scarves they still sold. But who would've known that not only did it not shut down, but the store even managed to sell a scarf to the class president.
Hearing Zhi Ying sigh, Jiang Wei looked over in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"I have a porcelain doll at home. Although it's not that delicate looking, it's still very interesting. Do you want it?" Zhi Ying asked suddenly, she wanted to give Jiang Wei something unique.
Zhi Ying had always had porcelain dolls on display to be sold, but they had never been bought.
In fact, Zhi Ying made the doll personally in the porcelain production center, and she would design a new one every year.
Who knows where Zhi Ying got this hobby from, obviously there were many other things to do, but her mind always comes back to the structure of the porcelain doll.
Jiang Wei paused and asked, "Porcelain doll? Gifting it to me?"
Although his words still had his unique mild tone, there was a subtle emotion that seemed to roiling in his eyes.
Zhi Ying nodded: "You are my friend, and you helped apply medicine for me yesterday, I want to give it to you."
Jiang Wei lowered his eyes, concealed his expression and agreed, "Okay."
Zhi Ying was still hesitating when she finally mentioned, "It's kind of ugly though, you can't dislike it."
Jiang Wei chuckled, "I know, the same one you gave me on Lugu Mountain before, isn't it?"
A while back, Zhi Ying gifted him a doll wearing a blue coat with red cheeks. However, that meeting was too hasty at that time, causing Zhi Ying to forget about the doll's whereabouts.
"I gave it to you before?" Zhi Ying was taken aback, "The porcelain doll in the blue coat?"
"Yeah." Jiang Wei's lips curved, "You don't remember?"
'Now what?' Zhi Ying thought in worry, she had nothing else to give to Jiang Wei.
Seeing her lower her head in frustration, Jiang Wei reached out and nudged Zhi Ying's hand, "I want the porcelain doll."
