MSISAS |Chapter 32: The Boy in Memories

Ke Xing was very proactive in pursuing someone, but she always felt that Chen Song was both close and distant to her.

She wasn’t someone obsessed with romance.

The first time Ke Xing tasted a dish made by Chu Huaiyi, she was extremely impressed, and ever since then, her takeout orders decreased significantly.

She even went out to eat with Chen Song less frequently.

“What do you want to eat today, sis?”

“Hmm, stir-fried Chinese yam.”

“Alright.”

Ke Xing looked at Chu Huaiyi’s obedient eyes and teased, “The girl who marries you in the future will be very lucky, you’re such a good cook.”

The young man’s ears turned a bit red. “Sis, what are you saying.”

“Oh! Are you embarrassed? Hey! Tell me, is there a girl you like at school?”

“No.” The big puppy looked at her with sincere eyes.

“You’re so good-looking, there must be girls pursuing you. Tell me, what kind do you like?”

Chu Huaiyi became even more shy, his ears turning red, but he earnestly said to her, “I like girls older than me.”

“That’s the same as your sister, I also like people older than me.”

Chu Huaiyi seemed a bit disappointed, a faint dim light appearing in his eyes.

After these three months, Ke Xing and Chu Huaiyi had become quite familiar with each other.

Chu Huaiyi naturally knew about Chen Song’s existence. Every time he saw Ke Xing dressed up beautifully, he understood what she was going to do.

He could only feel jealous, the sourness seemed like it would ooze out of his eyes.

That man, what was so good about him? He wasn’t even as handsome as he was, hmph, and he’d even seen that man joking around with other women.

Really blind.

Why doesn’t she dress up nicely just for me to see?

(╬◣д◢)

Every time Ke Xing went out, she would always receive a resentful look from her younger brother.

She didn’t understand why and could only pat his head. This kid had grown taller again, now 192.5 cm, soon she wouldn’t be able to reach.

“Hey! Sis can’t reach anymore, why don’t you bend down?”

Chu Huaiyi grumbled for a while, then bent down.

Just want to bend down for sis ←_←.

Decked out in eye-catching clothes, Ke Xing said goodbye to the bristling Chu Huaiyi.

Jealousy engaged (?°????????ω°????????｀)

Chu Huaiyi quietly followed them.

He sat two tables behind them, watching his sister, secretly pressing down on his fork.

Wuwuwu, sis, don’t smile at him, smile only at me, okay?

Chu Huaiyi ate a whole evening full of jealousy.

In the afternoon, only Ke Xing could attend Chu Huaiyi’s parent-teacher meeting.

Chu Huaiyi’s grades were excellent, nothing much to worry about.

Ke Xing walked out and saw the young man standing against the sunset outside the school gate. She knew this brat was handsome, he could definitely be a menace to many girls.

Ke Xing punched Chu Huaiyi’s arm, it was quite solid. “Not bad, what university are you planning to apply to?”

“Somewhere nearby.”

“That’s fine too, but with your abilities, you can go to a better one.”

“Can’t leave sis.”

“What nonsense.”

“So sis doesn’t want to see me anymore?”

“How could that be, at least I really like the food you make.”

“Wuwu, so sis doesn’t really like me.”

Ke Xing chuckled, “Silly.”

Chu Huaiyi rode his bicycle, carrying Ke Xing. Ke Xing felt a lot of youthful vitality from him.

Xu Qing cut her hair short and even dyed it, not just any color, but a wild silvery white.

Although very cool and handsome, it was a complete turnaround from her usual image. Chen Nian even teased that Xu Qing looked like an old man, which led to Xu Qing capturing him in a staring contest.

Lu Yanzhi loved her new look. Well, she insisted Xu Qing dye it.

So handsome.

Xu Qing would frequently give Lu Yanzhi beauty shots, and Lu Yanzhi loved it, always eager to be close.

Xu Qing also gained many advantages, never short of benefitting from her.

Ke Xing was in a great mood, probably because she was with that man.

Chu Huaiyi felt terrible, the feeling of being pricked by needles couldn’t be faked.

But he couldn’t show it, outwardly he was calm and unaffected.

He was both pained and tormented inside, sis…

Chu Huaiyi couldn’t concentrate on his books, he lay down on his bed, pulling the curtains shut. The room was devoid of daylight.

Just like his love, forever unable to see the light of day.

With the college entrance exams approaching, Chu Huaiyi buried himself in studying. This allowed him to temporarily forget.

Every day, Ke Xing would prepare fruit for Little Huaiyi, and at night she would bring him a cup of warm milk.

That day, Ke Xing routinely handed him a cup of warm milk, Chu Huaiyi silently bit his lower lip, his hand clenched behind him.

The desk lamp cast flickering shadows over his increasingly handsome profile, his eyes spoke of indescribable, complex emotions.

It had been a month, he’d used studying to numb himself for so long, he didn’t want to remember. Sis, have mercy on me.

Chu Huaiyi gently tugged at Ke Xing’s sleeve, even loving her required such caution.

“Sis, tomorrow is my college entrance exam.”

“Then drink it and go to bed soon! Remember to stay calm, I have great faith in your abilities!”

“Mm, thank you, sis. Sis, can I have a hug?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, if sis doesn’t want to then never mind.”

Chu Huaiyi stood up, the teenager’s tall and slender figure blocked out the light completely.

In the darkness, Ke Xing couldn’t see the young man’s face, but she could feel his presence.

Ke Xing spread her arms and hugged him, the young man’s body stiffened slightly, with a hint of rigidity. His hands behind her did not wrap around her.

Ke Xing could feel it, the fiery body of a seventeen-year-old and his strong heartbeat.

Chu Huaiyi clenched his hand, and after Ke Xing left, a tear involuntarily slipped from his eye.

Why am I so useless?

Chu Huaiyi placed his hand over his heart, slightly to the left. It was shattered to pieces.

It hurt.

Sis, I like you so much, what should I do, my heart aches.

I don’t want to leave you.

Chu Huaiyi craved that sliver of warmth.

The boy’s pure and restrained affection was given to her without reservation.

Finally, the college entrance exams were over, and outside the window was a chorus of cheers.

Chu Huaiyi, carrying his backpack, walked out of the exam hall. He didn’t leave the school immediately. Although he finished the test early, he sat alone on the steps, surrounded by the cicadas of midsummer, at the end of the countdown.

His crush also came to an end.

He hoped, then he felt disappointed.

Sis, I want to be a coward, to be a coward of time, I don’t dare to face it.

I didn’t know that liking someone, unable to obtain, unable to love, I am like a bug lurking in the darkness, afraid to approach the light.

In the end, Chu Huaiyi applied to Peking University. He only remembered that night, Ke Xing stood beside him, nervously clutching his sleeve.

After seeing the scores, she excitedly hugged him.

This time, Chu Huaiyi didn’t return the hug.

When Ke Xing learned that Chu Huaiyi was going to Peking University, she teased, “Weren’t you planning to stay here? How can you bear to leave sis?”

Chu Huaiyi pretended to be calm, smiling as he spoke to Ke Xing, “Yeah, sis, you must remember to miss me!”

You must remember this boy who appeared in your life.
