Lingering heart palpitations

Xu Zixin felt his neck was a little chilly.

When he was in class, the back of his neck was always cool, as if someone was blowing cold wind against his neck.

"Ah Qiu-"

He sneezed, turned his head and glanced back unconsciously, but inadvertently met Yu Ran's gaze that he hadn't had time to look back.

"......"

Yu Ran quickly withdrew his gaze, there was no discomfort on his face at all, but there was an inexplicable hostility in his brows and eyes, as if he was holding an unknown fire.

Xu Zixin raised his eyebrows, his tone was very gentle, "What do you think I am doing?"

He didn't have much communication with Yu Ran, but Ai Wu Ji Wu's attitude towards her was much better than before, after all...Yu Jing's younger sister was also his younger sister.

However, the participants clearly did not think so.

Yu Ran turned to look at the blackboard and didn't answer his words, but his jaw line was tense.

"..." Xu Zixin's words 'what's wrong with you' came to his lips, and he was suppressed again.

no no no-

That's my aunt——

In the past two days, the relationship between Xu Zixin and Yu Ran, who had gotten so close, became a little tense again.

Xu Zixin turned around, looked up at the blackboard, and took notes like ghostly symbols.

Zhou Mo listened to the class intermittently, always felt that the state of Yu Ran and Xu Zixin was very strange recently.

The former has been very irritable recently, always staring at the back of Xu Zixin's head with a serious face in class, as if he was thinking about how to make a hole in it.

The latter is even more weird, actually started to attend the class, and asked her some basic questions when the get out of class was over, and even started to do homework by herself...

"..." Zhou Mo sighed quietly, and suddenly felt his arm was touched.

A draft was passed lightly against her arm, with the words on the top of the draft: Shall we go to the movies this weekend?

Ok?

"Aren't you with your brother?"

The draft paper was quickly moved back.

"In the future, we may only meet occasionally. Let's watch "Four Springs", shall we? It will be at [-]:[-] in the morning, and we will have dinner after watching it."

Zhou Mo looked at the sentence in the draft book, "Maybe we will only be together once in a while" and always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't ask any more questions, and quickly replied, "Okay".

-

"Brother, I'm going to Zhou Mo's house to see the cat on the day of the holiday, and I won't be coming back. I will go to school with her in the afternoon."

"Huh?" Yu Ji swallowed what was in his mouth before asking, "Didn't you just go there last week?"

"I'm going to take the cat to be neutered this week...... Zhou Mo's parents are not at home, so I'll go with her."

Yu Jing didn't think much about it, nodded in agreement, took a sip of juice, lowered his head to think for a while, and suddenly asked, "Why don't we have one at home too, which one do you like? Fold-eared cat or Mankikang?"

"No," Yu Ran categorically refused, "Our family doesn't raise it."

Yu Ji looked up at her, "Why didn't you raise it?"

"No," Yu Ran shook his head like a rattle, "I can't take care of it well."

"I'll take care of it too."

"It still doesn't work," Yu Ran insisted, "I usually have to go to school, and I don't have time to take care of it."

Seeing her persistence, Yu Ji didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way, when I decided to sterilize Zhou Mo's cat, I had already bought a movie ticket. Otherwise, go with your classmates and don't waste it..."

-

Early on Sunday morning, Yu Ran had disappeared from the room when Yu Ji got up at eight o'clock.

Yu Ji opened the door and looked at the neatly folded quilt inside, feeling a little abnormal.

......When did Yu Ran get out of bed and make the bed?

There was a message she sent half an hour ago on WeChat, "The pet hospital is very crowded, Zhou Mo and I had a good time very early."

Yu Jing didn't think much about it, got out of bed to wash up, and called Xu Zixin to wake him up.

The movie theater they were going to was not far from the school, so they made an appointment directly at the entrance of the movie theater.

When the phone was connected, the voice over there sounded sober, and the annoying person asked him, "Are you up?"

Yu Ji held the phone next to his ear with one hand, and opened the wardrobe with the other, "Well, I thought you weren't up yet."

"I get up at six o'clock."

"Wake up so early?" Yu Ji took a gray sweater and threw it on the bed.

"Hmm..." The person over there seemed to yawn and made a nasal sound, "Actually, I didn't sleep well last night."

Yu Ji looked at the sweater and asked casually, "What's wrong?"

"This is your first date with me..."

Yu Ji's movement of reaching out to take the sweater froze.

"Our first date."

"...." He didn't know how to answer.

There was another slight yawn, "Actually, I have been standing at the gate of your community for 10 minutes."

"..." Yu Ji was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at the time, "It's so early... Isn't the movie ten o'clock?"

"I'd like to have breakfast with you....how are you?"

"...soon." After thinking for a while, he added, "I have to find my contact lenses."

"...isn't it the same with a frame?"

"No, not the same."

"All right, I'll wait for you at Gate No. [-]."

"Yeah," Yu Ji agreed, and put the sweater back in the closet, "I'll be there soon."

As soon as he hung up the phone, he threw the phone on the bed and went to the bathroom to get his daily disposable contact lenses - he bought it a little too early, but he hasn't used it yet.

He confirmed that the time hadn't expired, and casually removed a pair.

15 minute later.

"Why are your eyes a little red?" Xu Zixin's fingertips touched the corners of the still frightened eyes.

Yu Jing was frozen by his fingertips, and shrank his neck, "It's nothing, I haven't worn invisibility for a long time, I can't wear it."

"Ah."

Two people walked side by side on the street, and it took about 15 minutes to walk there.

The fog hadn't cleared yet, and because it was Zhou Mo, there were not many people on the street.

Yu Jing lowered his head and took a breath of cold air, looked at Xu Zixin, "Did you wear perfume?"

He smelled very different from usual.

Xu Zixin put his hand into Yu Jing's coat pocket, found his hand, and squeezed it lightly, "Did you smell it?"

Yu Ji nodded, besides the perfume, Xu Zixin's hair was also tidier than usual, as if some hairspray was used.

His heart beat a little faster, probably because of the different scent than usual, which was different from the mild smell. The perfume on his body was stronger, which made people feel aggressive.

Xu Zixin wore a loose black short coat with an eye-catching orange logo on the back, a pair of blue ripped jeans and a pair of sneakers with orange logo on black soles.

The simple and comfortable attire looked particularly outstanding on him.

In comparison, Yu Ji's attire is more refined, some loose and casual olive green coats are not wrinkled at all, the white turtleneck sweater is close to the jawline, and there is a dark blue denim shirt between the sweater and the coat, which is open and neat pressed against the edge of the coat.

Because he didn't wear glasses, those beautiful eyes were not covered by a trace, and they were extremely bright.

Only ten minutes away, Xu Zixin couldn't help turning his head to look at him, and wanted to hold his hand.

"Don't make trouble—"

Yu Ji blocked his hand with his elbow, and moved his chin forward a little.

Already at the mall.

Xu Zixin took out his mobile phone and looked at it, "There is Cantonese tea on the fourth floor, let's eat there."

Yu Ji nodded, and the two walked towards the direct elevator.

It was a bit early at this point, and some stores in the mall hadn't opened yet, and most of the staff in uniforms went directly to the elevator door, chatting tiredly about the mall's arrangements for the New Year.

There were a few girls with light makeup beside them, who were also waiting for the elevator. As soon as the two got there, the girls lowered their voices and whispered to each other, looking at them from time to time.

Xu Zixin noticed those gazes, and gave them a cold look, then turned around and helped his shivering shoulder, "Turn around."

Yu Ji showed puzzlement on his face, but he still turned around and faced him, "What's the matter—"

Xu Zixin reached out and touched his turtleneck sweater.

"Huh?" Yu Ji dodged subconsciously, and was pulled back by Xu Zixin by the collar of his coat.

"do not move--"

The turtleneck sweater was folded down, Xu Zixin easily touched the neckline, and gently pulled up the sweater collar, covering the lower half of the opponent's face.

Xu Zixin blocked the lingering hand that wanted to pull down the neckline.

"Don't move, there are a few girls over there who have been watching you, I have to hide you."

"..."

As soon as the words were finished, the elevator reached their floor. Xu Zixin walked into the elevator with his arms around his shoulders, and the girls also went up.

Xu Zixin blocked the person tightly in the corner, bowed his head and stared at him with big eyes.

Yu Ji stretched out his fingertips and hooked the collar of the sweater covering his nose, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything because he was concerned about the crowds in the elevator.

Those girls got off the elevator on the third floor, and they were on the fourth floor.

There are still many shops on the fourth floor that are not open, and the Cantonese-style tea is at the innermost, so you have to walk along the rows of shops that are not open.

"What did you want to say just now?" Xu Zixin asked him.

Yu Ji turned her head to look at him, the corners of her raised eyes were unconsciously seductive, "I want to say..."

"They're looking at you, not me."

Xu Zixin thought for a while, and it was rare that the other party's words were not stupid, but he asked inquiringly, "How do you know?"

"I think so," Xu Zixin stretched out his hand to straighten his collar, looked up at the other party, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "because if it were me, I would look at you."

"This is projection (note)."

Note: The essence of the projection function is that the individual infers the psychological and behavioral characteristics existing in himself into others.
