Sunny Joy - CHAPTER 6

Chu Xi fell silent for a moment, then immediately questioned her friend, who seemed to have given no thought to her feelings: “……What did Zhao Yu give you that you sold me out so quickly?”

“Hahaha, I was just joking with you. How to handle this still depends on you, right? I feel like you’ve already made up your mind.”

As expected, the one who understands her best is herself.

Chu Xi also shared her thoughts: “I plan to gradually stop contacting Zhao Yu, and our feelings will surely fade over time.”

“Yeah, as long as you’ve made your decision.”

Speaking of which, each side has its own story, but there are new developments here with Song Ciyue.

Here’s the thing: Song Ciyue was in a hurry that day and forgot to wear her glasses. By chance, she saw a “familiar face” and grabbed the person’s arm, asking “her” to accompany her to buy a pen. Once they arrived, she told her to wait at the door and not to wander around.

Besides my slightly strange and talkative friend, why hasn’t anyone said a word for so long?

However, when Song Ciyue came out of the store, the world suddenly became clear, and the figures of the people at the door were clearly reflected in her eyes.

She found that the person waiting at the door was still wearing the same clothes, but the face was no longer the one she recognized.

So, he wasn’t her, but the top student from the neighboring major, a guy named Meng Ran. He was waiting for her at the door, even though they had only met a few times, and she only knew his name.

Did she just… pull the wrong person?

Having realized this truth, Song Ciyue felt so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She forced herself to stay calm, talking to herself in the hope that the other person would understand.

“How could you just leave without waiting for me?”

First, I wasn’t pulling you.

Second, if you understand, you should know that the person should have left by now, so let’s not make it awkward for each other. You should leave quickly.

But out of the corner of her eye, she saw the boy still not making a move, so she decided to leave this awkward place on her own! She left the boy with a resolute back.

When leaving, Song Ciyue could feel him watching her closely from behind.

She felt completely uneasy under that gaze, as if she had done something wrong.

Back in the dormitory, she forced herself to immediately forget about it.

Among college students, there’s nothing they like more than praying to the gods, yet every one of them is a staunch atheist.

But, you know, we all have a sense of reverence!

For example, when most people watch some scary movies or TV shows, when it gets to the scary parts, some cover their eyes with one hand and peek through their fingers to see the rest of the story; or they just turn down the volume to reduce the horror effect of the sound.

But for a period afterwards, I would feel scared in certain specific places, instinctively avoid them, and dislike being alone.

For example, exams.

They chose this practice in their studies and self-improvement. Before the exam, they would sit in the exam room, find three pens to use as their incense, with the pen tips facing up. Those who were particular about it would even remove the pen caps.

These people sit in their places, holding incense sticks, bowing a few times, and that suffices. After all, as the “Ode to the Humble Room” says: “A mountain doesn’t have to be high; it becomes famous if there is an immortal.”

So, you see, it’s not about the price of the incense; it’s about the sincerity of the heart.

In their daily classes, college students also implement this. Students who usually ignore weather reports and only think about skipping classes will pay attention to weather changes at a specific time each week, and some even do so a day in advance.

Those who understand, understand. This is the kind of treatment you only get in college PE classes.

So, the weather on this day was of great concern to many students. Once it rained, they would have one less PE class, not have to go outside, could lie in bed and sleep, or do other things. Anyway, they could do whatever they needed to do, just not attend PE class.

They would even be willing to switch to a different major course if it meant getting a better one.

Since the day before, Song Ciyue and her roommate had started paying attention to the weather.

Good news, it might rain that day.

Bad news, the probability is 55%.

With their extensive experience in rain-seeking, they have already begun to express affection for each other.

It is said that swearing a lie will get you struck by lightning.

The thunder has already come, how far can the rain be?

Their first time praying for rain was during the military training at the beginning of their freshman year. If it could rain a bit longer, they could practice a bit less, going from clear skies to thunder and lightning.

I really didn’t expect it; it’s quite useful.

But you have your own clever plans, and the school has its own ways to get over the wall. It opened a long-abandoned parking lot.

Classmates: Alright, alright, at least it’s not hot.

The instructor didn’t give us much rest time, so we practiced and practiced. I don’t even know if it was worth it or not; anyway, it had been drizzling for several days.

It was also raining on the day of the exam. This time it wasn’t an abandoned parking lot; this time it was a luxury parking lot…

Since then, everyone has been firmly convinced about the matter of praying for rain.

As soon as someone mentions asking for rain, the roommates start patting a couple of people on the shoulders, saying, “It’s your turn to get to work.”

The two of them were quite in sync and immediately started mumbling.

Yang Liu: “I love Shang Nuan, I love Shang Nuan…”

Shang Nuan: “I love Yang Liu, I love Yang Liu…”

As they talked, the two of them started to compete over who could speak louder and faster.

It’s a pity that after that, we never succeeded in asking for rain again.

Two rain-seeking machines keep mumbling, but they’re not very useful.

Song Ciyue and the others in the dormitory were paying attention together.

During the first period, I checked my phone: Hmm, it rained at nine this morning, and it will probably rain when class ends later.

Until a few people reached the last class, walked out of the classroom, and found there was no rain, feeling empty inside.

But after one failure, they didn’t give up. They checked again to see when it would be available and found out it had been postponed to 3 PM.

Okay, okay, okay, if it rains before PE class, it’s fine. PE class is at four.

I took a nap, got up to check, and guess what! It’s already four o’clock again.

Standing on the playground, the cool breeze is gentle, still carrying a chill.

Yes, it’s time for gym class, and there’s still no rain because the rain has been rescheduled to nine o’clock tonight.

This is probably Murphy’s Law! What we hope for often doesn’t come true… Pfft! Stupid weather forecast, messing with people’s feelings! We wasted so much anticipation.

When Song Ciyue told Chu Xi about the situation, Chu Xi unkindly laughed at her for quite a while.

Chu Xi: Please forgive me, but to be honest, it’s funny. You guys have been scammed so badly.

Song Ciyue: Only those who have experienced the feeling of repeated disappointments can truly understand it.

Chu Xi: (patting head) It’s okay, it’s just PE class! We’ll go from now on, rain or shine!

Song Ciyue: Actually, being blocked isn’t so bad.
