Chapter 135: Knowing Heart Sister Li Yu!

  "It's me." Li Yu's soft and slightly shy voice came over.

  "Li Yu?" Tang Chong did not relax immediately and asked: "Why are you still not asleep?"

  After a while of adaptation, Tang Zhong's eyes could finally see clearly the situation in the room.

  "I'm playing games." Li Yu replied. "The power is out."

  Tang Zhong didn't think there was any connection between "the power's out" and "he sat beside himself", so he asked, "Is there still water in the dorm?"

  "Yes." Li Yu handed over a cup he was holding in his hand.

  Tang Chong picked it up and took a look, only to find that it was his own cup. Moreover, the boiling water in the cup was still slightly hot, obviously, he hadn't put it down for too long.

  Tang Chong raised his head and looked at Li Yu, asking in surprise: "Did you know I would wake up?"

  "I thought you should have woken up long ago." Li Yu lowered his head and smiled, "You've always been so vigilant. I thought that if I sat beside you, you would wake up immediately."

  Tang Zhong was shocked and frightened.

  He had been quite cautious in his daily life. However, due to the many secrets hidden in his heart and the crisis reaction consciousness cultivated in prison, he unconsciously showed some defensive behaviors in his life. It was these small details that made Li Yu suspicious.

  Since the first day of school, Li Yuyin had not made such a shocking statement like "You and I are the same" to Wang Aiguo. Most of the time, he silently followed behind Tang Chonghua, Ming and Liang Tao. When Hua Ming and Liang Tao were quarreling, he didn't intervene until they asked him, then he responded vaguely.

  What does he see now?

  Tang Chong took a few sips of the warm boiled water that Li Yu had helped to air, got out of bed and said: "Since you can't sleep, let's go sit in the corridor."

  "Good." Li Yu took the lead and walked over. Apparently, he had been waiting for this moment all along.

  Tang Chong put on his coat and slippers and walked out onto the balcony.

  The autumn rain that had stopped before bedtime started again, and the raindrops were pounding against the windowpane with a loud crackling sound.

  A pane of glass was forgotten to be closed, and a lot of rain leaked into the corridor. The wind was also very strong, blowing people to shiver.

  Tang Chong hastily went over and closed the window, asking Li Yu who was crouched in a corner: "Aren't you cold?"

  "A gust of wind can make people a bit more awake." Li Yu said with a smile. His smile was very faint, if Tang Chong hadn't happened to look over, he wouldn't have been able to see the curve of his facial muscles pulling up.

  "It's also possible that you have a cold." Tong Chong said with a smile. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

  "Are you refusing Autumn Cold?" Li Yu asked with a piercing question.

  "Am I supposed to look sad after coming back?" Tang Zhong asked with a smile.

  "It doesn't seem like the behavior of a couple in their first love," said Li Yu. "If you had accepted her, after returning, you should have given her a call or kept texting each other with endless things to say instead of just dropping it like this."

  Tang Chong smiled bitterly.

  The devil is in the details. Li Yu is a detail freak, he's the closest thing to the devil.

  "Not bad," said Tang Zhong, "I refused."

  "Don't you like her?" Li Yu asked. He shook his head again and said, "It doesn't seem like you completely dislike her either. You have a good impression of her. I can tell."

  "Do you know?" Tang Chong said with a smile. "The first person I met on my first day of reporting to Nanda was her, not that she was the first one I saw. The school gate was bustling with people coming and going, but I caught sight of her in the crowd at a glance."

  "There are studies that show more than 70% of women and 100% of men are appearance-controlled. Women who look good can get chased by men. Autumn's beauty is normal to make people feel good." Li Yu explained. "Moreover, she was the first girl you met in this unfamiliar environment. Your subconscious mind will be more attached and concerned about her. She is like a coordinate. The first impression you left at Nan Da. This is human nature. Everyone who comes to an unfamiliar environment will always remember the first person they come into contact with or who has helped them."

  Tang nodded seriously.

  He will pay special attention to Qiuyi, teach her to tie shoelaces, help her wipe her face, teach her how to get along with roommates, tolerate her small temper, and answer every call from her, no matter how late the call comes.

  "Are you refusing because you don't have confidence in her?" Li Yu asked.

  "It's not that it doesn't count." Tang Zhong shook his head. He reached out and grasped the window frame, feeling a coolness where his hand made contact. "It's because she can't figure out what's going on right now either. She doesn't understand others, nor does she understand herself."

  "Women mature earlier than men, but men are more mature than women." Li Yu said. "I can see that you're very caring towards her, a man's inexplicable kindness to a woman proves he doesn't dislike her. The case of Yufeng Peak made you lose hope in her for the first time; she had an extraordinary family background, but she just left like that. No matter what reason there was, from your perspective, you would feel hurt."

  "I know it's not her fault," Tang Zhong explained on behalf of Qiu Yihuan. "She couldn't think of something so complicated."

  "Yes." Li Yu said. "But you will still be very hurt. Because, she can't think of these things. You try your best to save her, but after she goes back, not even a phone call comes in, making you doubt whether your efforts are worth it or not. So, after returning from Yù Nǚ Fēng, you disappeared and also became distant with her for a while."

  Tang Chong smiled wryly and said, "Am I being too cautious?"

  "This has nothing to do with being petty. When a man looks for a woman, he's looking for a soulmate who shares his values, not just a cute pet. And you're different from other men, your requirements for a partner are more advanced."

  Tang Chong turned around and looked at Li Yu, asking in a low voice: "What else did you see?"

  "I can see that you have a huge amount of energy stored inside you. Of course, there is also great anger. I don't know where this energy and anger come from. But I do know that your life must be very heavy, possibly even you yourself are not clear about it. When I sleep on the upper bunk, many times when I get down from bed to go to the bathroom, upon hearing a sound, you will assume an attacking defensive posture, really don't know what kind of life you had before."

  Tang Chong smiled and did not answer this question.

  He knew he was exposed under Li Yu's eyelids, and even the unconscious defensive posture in his sleep could make people think of many things.

  "Your second disappointment with her was at her birthday party." Li Yu continued to analyze. "If she liked him, you had enough reason to be disappointed. If she didn't like him but didn't know how to refuse, your reason for being disappointed is even more sufficient."

  "Because you know that if the two of you are together, you will inevitably face backlash from his family. No matter what methods they use to deal with you, you won't back down. However, you know she can't resist this point, and no one can help her. You can't even help her. So, you didn't do anything wrong."

  Tang Zhong used his fingers to gently tap on the windowsill, smiling and saying: "When did you start working part-time as a confidante? Specializing in analyzing emotional problems for people?"

  Li Yu shook her head and said: "Hua Ming and Liang Tao can both help you a lot, I can do nothing, so I can only accompany you to chat."

  "Nowadays, the saddest thing is that when you look around and want to find someone to talk to, there's no one. Anyway, your goal has been achieved."

  "Go to sleep." Li Yu turned around and walked towards the dormitory.

  "Have you been watching me all along?" Tang Zhong asked.

  "I don't like talking." Li Yu replied evasively. "I use the time others spend speaking to think. So, I think more and see things more clearly."

  "You're like this, how can the teacher teach you?" Tang Chong said with a smile.

  "I can see it, but there are many things I cannot do," said Li Yu. "So, I am not as good as you."

  "Then you can be our military advisor," said Tang Chong.

  Tang Chong got out of bed again when the sky was already bright.

  The wind has stopped, the rain has ceased, and a red glow appears on the horizon. Even if the sun doesn't come out for a while, at least it makes people feel that the heavens won't change their face again.

  As usual, after Tang Chong washed up, he wore his sportswear and sports shoes and ran towards the playground.

  Li Yu was sleeping so soundly and sweetly that Tang Chong couldn't bear to wake him up.

  Some things are easy to put down but hard to pick up again. Exercising every morning had been his habit for many years, and he didn't want it to go to waste.

  The ground of the playground is still very damp, and some uneven places have accumulated water. The grass beads are hanging with dew, which is refreshing and pleasant to see.

  He ran along the track, and before he had finished one lap, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind him.

  No need to turn around, just listen to this urgent and rhythmic footsteps sound to know who's coming.

  Tang Zhong's mood was somewhat joyful.

  Having someone accompany you on a run at least makes his figure less lonely.

  Clap Clap Clap

  The girl quickened her pace and brushed past him like a gentle breeze.

  Tang Chong had long been accustomed to her unyielding personality, maintaining his own inherent rhythm, neither fast nor slow, following closely behind her.

  Jiao Nanxin was leading in front for a while, but suddenly slowed down his pace again.

  She waited until Tang Chong and she ran side by side, then asked aloud: "Congratulations."

  "What?" Tang Zhong asked.

  Jiao Nan's eyes darted around, and he said with a smirk: "You were the star of the welcome party, weren't you? Such a beautiful little girl took the initiative to go on stage and confess her love to you. I bet you were so thrilled that you couldn't tell east from west. I thought for sure you'd be too excited to sleep last night and wouldn't be able to come out for a run today."

  Tang Chong turned around and looked at Jiao Nan's beautifully curved profile and pointed chin, asking: "Why are you so concerned about whether I come to run or not?"

  "Just kidding. Who cares about you?" Jiao Nan's heart was cold and he sneered repeatedly. "It's just that Grandfather asked me to pass on a message to you, telling you to go to his house for dinner tonight."

  "Even if I don't come for a run, you can tell me in class." Tang Chong said with a smile.

  "Because I'm taking a leave today and won't be going to class." Jiao Nan retorted angrily, then turned around and ran off with a loud clatter of her long legs.
