Sunny Joy - CHAPTER 4

Chu Xi noticed that her friend particularly liked to feed her sweets.

However, she didn’t think in other directions because what she had, the other little girls next to her also had. She took the candy, and later she would buy other flavors for this friend herself.

One day, Chu Xi saw Santa Claus handing out candy again, so she went to get some.

But when it was her turn, Santa Claus just shrugged and said there were none left, all distributed.

Chu Xi: “Why don’t you give it to me?”

“I didn’t, okay? My candy was all shared with you.”

“You’re lying, I saw it all. You still have one in your hand.”

“This won’t do; I’m saving this for myself.”

Looking at Zhao Yu’s sly eyes, she knew he was deliberately teasing her.

However, it seemed like Zhao Yu was holding something in his hand, so she reasonably guessed that the candy was still with him.

After a battle of wits and courage, Chu Xi snatched the candy from Zhao Yu’s hand.

The boy placed his hand behind his back, as if he could still feel the tingling sensation of the girl’s fingers brushing across his palm.

Chu Xi might not know that Zhao Yu first became interested in her when he received candy from her in middle school.

The beginning of feelings may stem from an illusion.

And Zhao Yu’s feelings originated from this; it was an illusion of whether she liked him or not.

Why did she give me candy? Does she have a crush on me?

Unfortunately, he later realized that he had misunderstood; she had probably just given it to him casually. He had overthought it.

Just came out, Song Ciyue:！！！

She saw this scene when she arrived.

She quietly pulled Chu Xi aside and whispered in her ear, “Tell me secretly, do you two have something going on?”

Chu Xi was quite baffled: “Huh? No, we’re completely innocent. We just get along really well.”

Song Ciyue was a bit disappointed: “You really aren’t together? You two actually make a great match.”

Chuxi, who was expected by Song Ciyue, said helplessly, “Really, really, I don’t like him, and he’s not my type.”

Back in class, she didn’t take Song Ciyue’s words to heart, thinking it was all just a misunderstanding.

She picked up a cup to get some water and just happened to see the boy also in line.

However, she didn’t think much of it and just stood in line.

Zhao Yu turned around and asked her, “How about I help you with that?”

After all, he had just been misunderstood, and Chu Xi didn’t give it to him: “You can’t just take a girl’s cup. I’ll get it myself.”

Zhao Yu touched the tip of his nose.

I helped before too, so why is he saying this now? Could it be that his little scheme got discovered?

After all, he had been secretly in love with him for so long, so he immediately calmed down.

If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move!

When I went back to sit down, my desk mate also came over to join the fun: “Chu Xi, why didn’t you let Zhao Yu help you get water? Did you two have a fight?”

Chu Xi waved his hand: “No, it’s just that I feel we need to keep our distance.”

Gu Yihang was even more gossipy: “Do you two still need to keep your distance? It seems like you really had a fight. Did he make you angry?”

“Why don’t we need to keep our distance anymore?”

Gu Yihang had a look on his face that said, “You’re still pretending.”

Chu Xi became alert: “Tell me, how did the rumors spread in the class?”

“You two are our recognized golden couple! Don’t tell me you’re not, I’m a firm fan of your pairing and I staunchly support Brother Yu!”

Chu Xi finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

This time when Zhao Yu offered candy, Chu Xi didn’t take it.

“Don’t give me any more candy, people are misunderstanding our relationship.”

Zhao Yu’s heart skipped a beat, but he maintained a calm facade: “Misunderstood? What did they misunderstand?”

Believing him, Chu Xi recounted the whole story to him and concluded, “Let’s keep our distance.”

Zhao Yu secretly made a note about Gu Yihang: “Really, no filter at all. This has already raised suspicions; how am I supposed to curry favor quietly?”

“Oh, so that’s how it is. Even though we’re innocent, people can be quite fearsome with their words. You’re right, we should be more cautious.”

“But are you really not going to eat it? This is the last time, and it’s your favorite passion fruit flavor.”

Chu Xi hesitated for a moment but quickly agreed, “Alright then… this is the last time.”

Chu Xi doesn’t know that the boy always saves her favorite candy for her every time. Everyone else gets different flavors, but every piece she takes is reserved just for her.

She didn’t know that this boy had been silently protecting her for four years. In fact, he had confessed to her before, but at that time, her account was hacked, so she missed it.

She didn’t know that later, her desk mate Gu Yihang had a friendly and cordial conversation with Zhao Yu that day. Afterward, Gu Yihang swore to keep his mouth shut and never say anything in front of Chu Xi again to avoid disrupting Zhao Yu’s plan.

Before long, the seats in the class were rearranged, and this time, Chu Xi and Zhao Yu were only separated by one person.

He knows that Chu Xi is currently focused on her studies and is already in her senior year, and he is also afraid that confessing his feelings now might delay her.

Zhao Yu knew in his heart that he should keep his distance, but he just couldn’t control himself and wanted to know if he could get a little closer to her.

In the end, he handed the candy to the girl in the middle, then pointed at Chu Xi, indicating for her to give the candy to Chu Xi.

That girl smiled knowingly, just leave it to me!

When the girl poked Chu Xi, Zhao Yu immediately lowered his head, pretending not to know anything, but his peripheral vision kept watching the actions of the two.

The girl handed a piece of candy to the person she has a crush on.

He heard Chu Xi smile at the girl and say, “Thank you.”

She didn’t refuse; she must have misunderstood. But isn’t that exactly what he wanted Chu Xi to understand?

Zhao Yu was also very happy, as if Chu Xi’s smile and thank you were directed at him.

Rounding it off, it’s pretty much the same, right?

His candy, the girl in his heart.

In the dormitory, they’re discussing things again.

Someone said that their dreams seem to predict the future, and they often have fleeting moments of déjà vu, feeling like they have seen the scene before.

Another person said they had a nightmare where they were being chased, and finally hid, but felt like someone was always watching them from behind. Just when they turned around to look, they woke up from the dream.

Moreover, I have this dream every year, but as I grew older, I started having it less often.

Seeing that everyone was sharing, Chu Xi thought for a moment and talked about the strange dream she had, which was probably the strange dream she had after the high school entrance exam.

“Previously, there was a handsome guy about 1.8 meters tall in my dream who wanted to exchange contact information. I dreamed about it two or three times, and each time he repeated it to me many times. I remembered it carefully, and when I woke up, I could recall the details, but I forgot the guy’s face and contact information.”

“The last time, that handsome guy was really exhausted and said, ‘Forget it, forget it, a fool like you won’t remember anyway. If it’s meant to be, we’ll meet again.'”

After finishing speaking, seeing that no one wanted to chat, she went to the restroom.

Others behind her were gossiping and exchanging knowing smiles.
