To make He Yu regret - chapter 48

It started to rain on Tuesday.  Water accumulated at the back door of the school so no students went there. Only two people on duty were left there to guard the door.

“May I ask why?” He Yu asked.

“Well, the door doesn’t stay closed, we are going to the back door.” Zhang Shiyu held a pen in his mouth, and his eyes turned to look at his good friend He Yu.

“I think you have been abnormal recently.” He Yu was compiling the list of students who were late and didn’t look up when he heard those words and said, “If you have nothing to do, you could go out and help the cleaning group clear the sewer.”

“It’s even more abnormal for you to say that we were yin and yang at once. I usually make fun of you, and I never saw you angry.”

Lowering his voice, detective Zhang Shiyu began his interrogation.

“Is it about that fat girl?”

“Who?” He Yu looked confused.

“Don’t pretend to be stupid,” he elbowed him, “The princess dress!”

“Last time I said she was an ugly girl, and you got your eyes slanted. You said she was your acquaintance… so I don’t know how to call her now.”

“What’s wrong with her?” He Yu continued to play dumb.

“I saw her on duty with you yesterday. You didn’t even say hello. When she walked over, you were very stiff, and then you took the initiative to transfer to the back door today. You said you and her were acquaintances?  What was the story?”

Zhang Shiyu’s big face got closer and closer, and his piercing eyes seemed to be able to use mind-reading skills to see through He Yu.

He patted his face with a book and manually widened the distance between the two.

“She is an acquaintance,” He Yu said lightly, “I knew her when I was a child, but I am not familiar with her anymore.”

Zhang Shiyu didn’t believe it and sneered, “If you were unfamiliar, then you ran to help her take out the garbage that day?”

He Yu frankly said, “If the students who need help on campus, I would help if I can.”

“Fake!” He pierced his hypocritical mask, “There must be something, otherwise you won’t see her so unnaturally?”

He Yu sighed, “Yes and what is it?”

After bidding farewell to Jiang Xiaozhen that day, he thought about what he said. What she said was, “I thought we were friends.” 

When she said that, he suddenly opened his heart to her extremely, and he didn’t think about anything, and said all he wanted to. His words were too heavy, especially the last line, “Jiang Xiaozhen, I look down on you.”

He was too lofty, and he recalled his words later, that even He Yu himself wanted to beat his past self at that time. He wasn’t a five-year-old kid anymore. Even if he couldn’t get along with others, he had a more tactful and more appropriate way to make it work. Zhang Shiyu was right, he was unnatural when he saw Jiang Xiaozhen.

The unnatural reason stems from his shame to show his face to her, as he was ashamed to face her, who said heavy words.

“He Yu, you were distracted.” Zhang Shiyu reminded him aloud.

“…” He Yu wiped the drops of water on his bangs.

“Okay.” Zhang Shiyu was sure that He Yu was abnormal. Who would carry the umbrella handle on their shoulders with the umbrella face straight down, even if they are getting wet? He Yu got wet from the rain and didn’t even use the umbrella properly.

At the main entrance of the school at the same moment. An unshaven, dark-skinned middle-aged uncle came to the school gate holding an umbrella. Looking left and right, he approached the gate when the flow of people was low.

“Hello, kid, could you let me go in to find someone?”

The student on duty stared at him warily.
