Stringy Wind in the Ear - Chap 54
Song Yang squatted in the corner holding his phone, not knowing what to say for a long time. Li Xun always made fun of him before, which made him very embarrassed, but he could just laugh it off, except for this one, he didn’t feel embarrassed at all, just felt it was abnormal.
Although they had a good relationship in private and even rented together, at school, Li Xun was the teacher and he was the student, and they maintained a tacit sense of propriety and distance between each other. This joke obviously broke the boundary and went against common sense.
He stared at the avatar on the screen and recalled many things.
On that bleak night, Li Xun went home and then turned back, bringing a steaming hot egg-filled pancake waiting for him at the train station.
Every time Li Xun caught him chatting with the girls in his class, he would never treat him well.
During last weekend’s game, Li Xun leaned close to his ear in front of everyone just to ask him what gift he wanted.
And turning around in the hallway of the club to tell him – “But people’s tastes change.”
…
These seemingly insignificant little things were connected together in his mind, forming a series of pictures.
Under the soft and warm halo, Li Xun’s eyes, tone of voice, and smile on the corners of his mouth were all magnified, guiding his thoughts to explore to another level, making him doubt, were the things Li Xun did for him really just out of a coach’s concern for his students?
Or……
Melodious piano music sounded, reminding him that class was about to start. Students walked hurriedly in groups of three or five, and a professor holding a textbook and a roll call book flashed past him.
Song Yang came back to his senses, casually sent an emoticon, and walked quickly towards the classroom.
Opposite the teaching building is the sports department building. At this moment, Li Xun was also sitting at his desk in a daze.
As soon as the phone screen lit up, he immediately picked it up and unlocked it, and the smile on his lips gradually spread.
Song Yang sent over a little Shiba Inu with two blushed cheeks and a silly grin.
He put the emoticon on Song Yang’s face, which was so cute that he really wanted to pinch his little ears.
But there was no other news after that.
Li Xun unlocked his phone about twenty times in three minutes, picking it up and putting it down again.
Even Coach Zhang, who was sitting opposite him, couldn’t stand it anymore and asked him, “Are you dating?”
Li Xun finally put down his phone and said “hmm” shamelessly, with his eyes tilted, a little proud: “Miss me, send me messages all day long, annoying.”
“Oh…” Coach Zhang thought this was unbelievable. “When did you start dating? Why haven’t you mentioned it before?”
Li Xun crossed his legs and shook them: “Not long after, he was too thin-skinned to allow me to talk.”
This “romance” that was hotly discussed by netizens across the country maintained its popularity for more than one day.
Song Yang often receives @ messages from friends, saying that a certain big V has posted their updates, or that their videos have appeared on Bilibili. Some classmates who know him have also posted some of his private life photos online, some handsome, some funny, all out of good intentions to bring him popularity.
The number of his and Li Xun’s Weibo followers skyrocketed overnight. At first, Song Yang found it novel and couldn’t help but read the comments, but the final exam was approaching, and he had signed a “military order” with his parents before, saying that he would be discharged if he failed. He had no time to care about other things, so he gritted his teeth and uninstalled Weibo.
His disappearance caused all the promoters and online media to come to Li Xun. There were nearly thirty editors who wanted exclusive interviews, because his career had become the focus of everyone’s heated discussion during this period.
Li Xun didn’t have much emotion when he saw this. These external fames were very false, and netizens’ attention would soon be attracted by new content. He didn’t think his career was worthy of so much attention, so he declined the interview.
But this aroused the curiosity of the public. Some people asked him if he quit the national team because of the poor treatment, and some netizens sent private messages to ask if he would make a comeback. Some accounts even made up some unfounded things online in order to gain some attention.
