My mood was uncommonly good.
However, this good mood was ruined within five minutes.
Upon turning a corner, a person suddenly appeared due to the trees obstructing the view. Both of them stumbled, colliding into each other.
Wei Jingzhou, tall and sturdy, was not moved at all by the impact, remaining perfectly upright. The other person, however, was knocked to the ground.
Looking down at the girl who had fallen, Wei Jingzhou raised an eyebrow, not even offering a hand.
The system hurriedly asked: [Are you okay? Don't walk with your head down.]
Shen Yue's voice was tinged with a cry: [I'm fine, just a bit sore.]
He had intended to wait for the girl to get up, but after a minute, she remained in the same position, which made him frown.
"Are you alright?" the boy's voice was tinged with impatience.
Shen Yue, her head bowed, didn't react. She only felt a sharp pain in her nose. The man's chest was too hard, like hitting a stone, and she was instantly stunned.
Perhaps it was due to her cold, but Shen Yue felt her pain was more sensitive. A warmth flooded her nasal cavity, and she started bleeding from the nose on the spot.
Hearing the boy's words, Shen Yue slowly lifted her head, covering her nose. A red mark from the collision was visible on her forehead. Sitting on the ground, she tilted her head back and remained silent, looking incredibly foolish and pitiful.
She used one hand to cover half her face and the other to search her pocket for tissues. She couldn't speak for a while.
Wei Jingzhou hadn't expected the person to be Shen Yue, and furthermore, to have caused her to bleed from the nose. It wasn't the first time he had bumped into someone, but it was the first time he had made someone bleed.
He walked closer and looked down at the beautiful girl sitting on the ground, who was softly saying she was fine while slowly wiping her nose. When she pulled the tissue away, a small red smudge remained on her face where she hadn't wiped properly.
Shen Yue didn't notice her face was not completely clean, and Wei Jingzhou didn't say anything. He simply watched coldly as Shen Yue slowly stood up and meticulously patted the snow off her clothes.
He disliked meddling, and since Shen Yue had said she was fine, he turned to leave.
For some reason, Wei Jingzhou turned back as if compelled. He saw the slender, graceful figure still standing there, head bowed, frantically wiping something with her hands.
His brow furrowed tighter, and his thin lips let out an impatient click. He walked back, and indeed, he found Shen Yue still wiping her nose, which was bleeding more and more, staining the entire tissue red.
Seeing the man returning, Shen Yue seemed surprised. She held a tissue to her nose and said in a sweet, childlike voice, "I'm fine, it will stop soon."
During the short time she spoke, faint bloodstains had already soaked through the clean tissue.
Shen Yue also felt a dampness on her fingers, and upon seeing blood on her hand, she watched Wei Jingzhou's expression change.
The boy tightly pursed his thin lips and muttered under his breath.
"So troublesome."
—
As a result, after trying for a long time, the nosebleed still wouldn't stop. Shen Yue's scarf also got stained with blood, so they had to go to the infirmary.
Shen Yue felt that this was a rare opportunity for them to be alone, and she wanted to say a few words to ease the awkward atmosphere.
However, from beginning to end, Wei Jingzhou had a cold expression, as if saying, "Don't provoke me, or you'll regret it." Shen Yue dared not speak.
She had never seen anyone so delicate; just a slight bump and she bled from the nose. It was truly annoying.
The female doctor at the clinic seemed a bit busy, giving an injection to a university student. The student was likely quite scared, trembling as if having an epileptic fit, which caused the doctor to miss the injection spot.
It seemed the doctor would need more time. Seeing Shen Yue's persistent nosebleed, she prepared some cotton swabs and antiseptic medicine. Noticing someone had brought her, she told them to manage it themselves.
Her words were directed at Xie Jiangdao, but Xie Jiangdao clearly had no intention of helping.
There were no extra stools in the infirmary, so the tall boy had to stand. His imposing presence was evident as he stood there.
His hair was shorter than yesterday, likely cut. It was a buzz cut, a style few boys could pull off, but it suited him perfectly, revealing his sharp, handsome eyes and adding a touch of wildness.
He leaned against the wall, wearing headphones, shamelessly playing a game.
It was as if he hadn't been the one who bumped Shen Yue and made her nose bleed.
Shen Yue found it inconvenient to manage it alone, but even so, she didn't ask for his help.
She held a mirror in one hand and awkwardly wiped her nose with the other.
Wei Jingzhou had expected the girl to seek his help, as she was good at playing the victim and always subtly tried to seduce him, clearly aiming to capture his attention. However, after waiting for a long time, he heard no word from Shen Yue.
He raised his eyes in confusion and saw Shen Yue struggling to wipe her nose with a cotton swab.
She hadn't come to him for help?
Although he wouldn't help even if Shen Yue had asked, her not asking was strange.
However, it was better to avoid trouble. Wei Jingzhou ignored the inexplicable emotion and lowered his head back to his phone.
Shen Yue had painstakingly wiped her nose, but applying the medicine was difficult, and she didn't know how.
As she thought this, she couldn't help but steal glances at Wei Jingzhou.
"Do you have a mouth and not know how to speak?" the boy asked, raising an eyebrow, his voice harsh, his sharp, beautiful jawline exceptionally clear.
Heh, he knew this woman wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to approach him. It was just playing hard to get.
Thinking this, Wei Jingzhou's gaze grew colder. He detested people who played clever games in front of him.
Shen Yue, who had intended to ask for his help, swallowed her words. She felt that even if she spoke, the main villain might not help her, and might even mock her.
"Never mind, it's fine."
Shen Yue decided it was better not to humiliate herself.
She didn't understand why Wei Jingzhou disliked her so much. Since she had decided to toy with the main villain's emotions, she had to understand the reason for his dislike, otherwise, there would be no progress.
They seemed to have only met twice, and each time, the boy had given her a sullen look, as if she owed him millions.
"Since you're fine, I'll be going now."
Wei Jingzhou was too lazy to stay any longer and felt he was being too idle to waste so much time on such a trivial matter. Noticing the female doctor approaching, he immediately straightened up, ready to leave.
Shen Yue gripped the cotton swab in her hand, her slender, butterfly-like eyelashes fluttering. She held her breath, only hearing her own heart pounding.
She called out his name.
"Wei Jingzhou!"
