Chapter 15 – Delusion


Thoughts are thoughts, Ruan Nianxi naturally couldn’t do it in front of so many people.

She knew what to do and what not to do.

Feeling uncomfortable, but she could only endure it and continue talking to the people next to her.

“Squad leader, a boy just asked me to give this to you.”

The girl walked straight to Ruan Nianxi and raised the thing in her hand.

Ruan Nianxi, who was talking, suddenly paused, turned her head slowly, and stared at the girl without blinking.

Was it for her?

Seeing that Ruan Nianxi didn’t react, the girl thought she wouldn’t accept it as usual, and continued, “I already told him that you wouldn’t accept it, but he insisted that I bring it to you, saying it’s up to you to handle it. Um… although it’s not good to say this, but squad leader, it would be a waste to throw it away, and there’s so much. Can you share it with us?”

Everyone around was sharp-eyed. Who would buy so much ice cream for a girl at once?

There’s no refrigerator in the school, and the weather is so hot. If they don’t finish it, it will all melt. It’s obvious that the extras are meant for them.

That boy is really nice.

Although the boy bought a portion for them, the final decision still rested with Ruan Nianxi. If she chose to throw it away, they couldn’t say anything.

“Squad leader, if you don’t want it, I can help you throw it away…”

Before the girl finished speaking, Ruan Nianxi immediately reached out and took the bag from her pocket.

She didn’t say anything, but quickly took out her phone and tapped on it a few times.

In a few seconds, the girl’s phone rang. She picked it up and saw that Ruan Nianxi had transferred 100 yuan to her.

The girl: !!!

“I’ll take it all. If you want to eat, go buy it separately. I’ll pay for it. If it’s not enough, let me know.”

Not only the girl was surprised this time, but everyone around looked at Ruan Nianxi in shock.

They were all in the same class as Ruan Nianxi, and in the past three years, they had seen countless people trying to pursue her and buying her things, but she always refused.

Usually, she would refuse the other party on the spot, and if someone insisted on giving her something, she would just throw it away.

In short, she wouldn’t accept it.

In the past three years, it was the first time they had seen Ruan Nianxi accept something from a boy!

And, they hadn’t even seen what the person looked like!

Ruan Nianxi was with them at that time, so she shouldn’t have seen him, right?

But she accepted it!

Something’s up!

The crowd looked at the girl in confusion, but she just shrugged, indicating that she didn’t know anything.

“Oh, and, squad leader, I just saw him drawing you. I took the drawing from him. He’s from the art college, and he draws really well.”

The girl suddenly remembered that there was also a painting and immediately handed it to Ruan Nianxi.

Ruan Nianxi took it and glanced at it.

The person in the painting was just like her, with a high ponytail, a white shirt, and a knee-length skirt. Even the pattern on the clothes and the style of the skirt were the same as hers.

It’s really… her.

Ruan Nianxi’s heart trembled inexplicably. At this moment, she couldn’t explain her emotions. Her heart was beating irregularly, gradually speeding up.

Under everyone’s gaze, she carefully put away the painting.

Then, she took out an ice cream from her pocket, and the coldness of the ice cream in her hand helped her regain a little composure.

She looked at the people around her and said in a cold voice, “What are you looking at? Continue setting up the scene. If you want ice cream, ask her. I’ve already transferred the money to her. If it’s not enough, I’ll pay for the rest.”

Ruan Nianxi glanced at the girl and then calmly opened a bag of ice cream, ignoring the others and started eating.

Xie Shu bought it for her.

They shouldn’t think about sharing it!

If they want to eat, they can buy it themselves!

Finally, those people quickly set up the scene and then went to the supermarket with the girl to buy ice cream.

It’s so hot, who wouldn’t want to eat something cold.

On the way to the supermarket, everyone asked the girl who bought the things for their squad leader, who always rejected people and kept her distance.

But the girl didn’t know either. She didn’t ask for the name just now, she only knew that the other person was from the art college.

After setting up the scene, Ruan Nianxi had nothing to do.

She sat under the awning, put a bag of ice cream in the cabinet, and ate them one by one. She treated these as ordinary snacks, taking a bite, chewing a few times, and then swallowing.

At the same time, she took out her phone, hesitating whether to send a message to Xie Shu.

Her parents didn’t allow her to contact Xie Shu, and she had already contacted him once today…

She just wanted to send a message to Xie Shu to say thank you. It should be okay.

In the end, she followed her heart and sent the message.

She thought she would have to wait a long time for a reply, but this time Xie Shu replied to her instantly.

Xie Shu: [Just bought a few ice creams, nothing to thank for. But you shouldn’t be too tired, take care of yourself. The weather is getting hotter, don’t stay outside for too long.]

A few caring words made Ruan Nianxi’s heart, which had just returned to a normal rhythm with great difficulty, speed up again.

Her breathing began to quicken.

Ruan Nianxi: [Um… that painting, is it really me?]

Xie Shu: [Yes, but I had limited time, so the painting is a bit rough. It only has the general features and isn’t well done. Don’t dislike it.]

Ruan Nianxi: [No, I really like it.]

Xie Shu: [As long as you like it. If I have enough time later, I promise to make a better one!]

Ruan Nianxi didn’t reply anymore. She put away the half-eaten ice cream and then put it on the table.

She freed her hands and fumbled in her pocket for a while before taking out a small bottle of medicine.

She opened it, took out a pill, and swallowed it.

It’s fake!

It’s not what she thought!

The doctor said it was just normal concern between friends…

Xie Shu likes Su Qianyi.

…Yeah.

It’s Su Qianyi…

Under the influence of the medication and her own introspection, Ruan Nianxi gradually calmed down.

Looking at the last message Xie Shu sent her, she thought for a long time and didn’t know how to reply.In the end, she forced herself not to reply, simply continuing to bite into her ice cream, one spoonful at a time.

She had a whole bag of ice cream, but she had no idea how many she had eaten.

But she never finished them.

Because the ones left over had all melted.
