Chapter 31 I Didn't Say I Like Him

Then Xia Yao suddenly opened the door from the inside.

When he saw Jiang An at the door, he was probably terrified, the cup in his hand fell out of his hand, his mind went blank, but he didn't forget to take a step forward and quickly closed the door with his backhand.

With this step forward, he and Jiang An were too close.

Jiang An caught the thermos that had slipped from his hand, stood up almost close to him, and the tip of his nose brushed against his, both of them froze in place.

Jiang An was a little taller than Xia Yao, and Xia Yao just blinked when he looked straight ahead, but Jiang An's gaze fell involuntarily, and fell on his trembling eyelashes.

"I'm sorry...me..." Jiang An swallowed subconsciously, without moving his feet.

There is a door behind Xia Yao, and there is no way to retreat any further. He raised his head slightly to meet Jiang An's gaze. The moment he saw those eyes, he suddenly remembered the night in the grove seven years ago, and turned around suddenly to look at the sky. In the empty corridor, he said calmly: "It's too close."

Jiang An immediately took a big step back.

"Sorry, I saw your cup almost dropped and I—"

Before he finished speaking, Xia Yao interrupted: "It's okay, thank you."

Too polite, really too polite, why is this person so polite to himself?Jiang An thought to himself that it was because of the kissing!

The two stood facing each other without speaking, the surroundings were too quiet, and the conversation between Xia Yao's father and Li Zhenhe in the stairwell was once again accurately transmitted to Jiang An's ears through a door.

"I heard about the endorsement of White Rabbit Food last time. It seems that it was originally intended to sign Xia Yao, but then it was given to Jiang An, right? Look, even—"

"dad."

Jiang An didn't have time to stop him, so he saw Xia Yao turn around and push open the door one step at a time. The two people in the door obviously didn't expect the two parties related to the content of their conversation to be there, and they looked surprised.

Xia Yao said again: "I know these things, let's talk about this matter later, you go back first."

"What I told you, make a plan as soon as possible." Xia Ren coughed dryly, tugged at the collar of his suit, walked in from the door, glanced at Jiang An, and left quickly.

Li Zhenhe let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the people leaving, but seeing Jiang An hang up again, he walked up to Jiang An and asked tentatively, "When did you come?"

"When and when? I just came, and as soon as I came--"

While talking, he looked at Xia Yao, hoping to see the slightest bit of embarrassment on that person's face, but there was none.

Xia Yao turned to face him, his tone still unchanged, and asked him, "Did you come to see Coach Li for something?"

"I'm not here to look for him, I'm here to look for you, I have something to tell you." Jiang An didn't intend to beat around the bush, and said bluntly that he was here to look for him, but the question he wanted to ask was not what he originally wanted to ask.

Li Zhenhe went back to the lounge, and the two went to the coffee shop on the first floor.

The waiter came over with the menu, the two flipped through it, and then——

Xia Yao: "Let's have a cup of coffee first."

Jiang An: "A glass of orange juice."

Xia Yao ordered a cup of coffee for Jiang An, and Jiang An ordered a cup of juice for Xia Yao.

After the waiter brought the coffee and juice and put them in front of them, Jiang An first pushed the orange juice in front of him: "I remember you liked orange-flavored lollipops back then."

Xia Yao's index finger stiffened, and he pushed the coffee out to Jiang An: "Why do you remember this again?"

Jiang An suddenly realized that it would take a lot of trouble to get this person to say something different, so he smiled and said, "I really forgot what happened that night, it was only after I ate a lollipop with the same flavor I remembered."

Seeing that there was finally a different look on Xia Yao's face, his smile deepened, and he said, "I snatched your lollipop. Although I didn't eat it, I seem to remember the taste in your mouth at that time."

It's really not like what he can say, he would get goose bumps all over his body, let alone Xia Yao.

"...Did you come to me just to talk about this?" Xia Yao felt his mouth dry and his heart burning when he heard Jiang An's words.

Jiang An also realized that he had spoken a little too much, so he quickly explained: "No, no, I'm looking for you... It's okay, just chatting casually - I just heard from my uncle that the endorsement... .”

"That's none of your business. They may have heard me say that the Shanhai Cup will not be played, and they will not be sure if they will play in the future. They are afraid that they will not be exposed if they sign the endorsement. It's okay." Xia Yao looked at Jiang An after finishing speaking, Afraid that he wouldn't believe that it's really all right, he added: "It's really all right, I don't care about these things."

Jiang An wanted to ask, what do you really care about?

I don't care about such offensive behavior, because my negligence has been "hidden" for a year, and I don't even care that I haven't apologized for so many years-what is it that this seemingly calm person in front of me cares about?

"I'll go back and push this endorsement away." He still said.

Xia Yao's tone suddenly became urgent: "I've already said that I'm fine, you don't need to be like this."

"If they told me they were looking for you in the first place, I would definitely not agree."

"You—" Xia Yao clenched the cup in his hand, restrained and said: "Don't think too much, it's because they didn't sign me, it wasn't because I rejected them that they came to you, and you weren't in a hurry to use money to pay your brother's tuition Is this—"

Jiang An's hands froze, and suddenly interrupted him with a sneer, leaning forward with one hand propped on the table, and asked softly, "How do you know about Jiang Le's tuition?"

Xia Yao was stunned for a moment, unable to think of a reasonable explanation to answer his words.

"That's not what I meant. Let's not talk about it. I came to ask Han Jiang Yingxue why there was such a sudden change in personnel." Jiang An took a sip of coffee as if nothing had happened. Seeing that Xia Yao hadn't figured out how to explain it, he He said again: "If it's not convenient to talk, then let's talk about other things."

Xia Yao stared straight at him, but still didn't speak.

"Then why don't you talk about it—did the fight that year be blamed on you, that's why you changed schools?"

"No."

Jiang An was just guessing at first, but seeing Xia Yao's straightforward and firm answer now, it confirmed what he thought in his heart.He saw how Xia Yao tried his best to conceal his inner thoughts, and he really couldn't connect him with that lovely An Xinxin.

But he was overwhelmed by this contrast, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and there was a buzzing in his ears, as if he could even hear the sound of blood flowing.

He suddenly understood the connotation of why Chen Gu is always yin and yang these days. His brain is not working well——

"Jiang An, don't you like Xia Yao?"

"Xia Yao has done a lot for you, why don't you think about it? Others are full?......"

That's what happened.

Jiang An suddenly became sober. He thought he had figured out the problem, but he felt even more sorry for it. He put down the spoon in his hand and caught Xia Yao's attention with a click.

Under Xia Yao's gaze, he picked up the spoon again and stirred it slowly, his tone was also slow, and he apologized to himself: "Sorry, look at me, I have caused you so much trouble."

Xia Yao pursed his lips and hesitated to speak. Finally, after a short sigh, he raised his hand and called the waiter: "Pay the bill."

Seeing his "I'm too lazy to talk to you" look, Jiang An just felt that his frowning and displeasure combined with the An Xinxin who talked and chatted with him every night, and it was also extremely cute.

After Xia Yao left, he slowly raised his hand to cover his heart.

The left chest is obviously beating every day, but during this period of time, seeing this person is like being given an acceleration buff, the frequency is so fast that it makes people breathless.

In TWR and Chen Gu finished eating and overtime for a while, Jiang An came home and found Jiang Le playing a game, he leaned against the door frame of Jiang Le's bedroom, put his arms around his chest and asked him: "What are you playing? so happy?"

"My brother is here, let's talk about it later." Jiang Le hurriedly took off the earphones, turned to look at Jiang An with a smile, "I'm in 3v3 with my friend, no brother."

That's what he said, but Jiang An took a step forward and Jiang Le raised his hand to block the computer screen. Seeing his reaction, Jiang An was even more puzzled: "Isn't it just a 3V3, concealed... ..."

He gently kicked Jiang Le's chair away, and as soon as the two arms blocking the screen moved away, he saw "Qing He Xia" and "Jun Jun Jun Hao" standing beside Jiang Le.

"Brother, it's not what you think..." Jiang Le quickly defended.

"It's not what I think? What do I think?" Jiang An looked at Jiang Le with a half-smile, and pointed to the screen: "I'm afraid I'll see it if you're so sneaky with the two of them?"

Jiang Le slid back to the computer desk and continued to explain. Jiang An suddenly snatched the headset from his hand, and said into the microphone: "Why, Yao God doesn't come to me to discuss with me now, and keeps staring at my brother every day?"

Jiang Le: "..."

There was silence in the earphones, and Yu Junhao, who was eating, also silently turned off the microphone.Jiang An opened the voice room and took a look. After confirming that Xia Yao hadn't run away, he said, "Is it because I can't get into Yao God's eyes now, or is something wrong? Yao God pointing out the maze?"

Jiang Le felt that his brother had a problem today, he spoke sourly, and what he said was so strange.In order to prevent Jiang An from continuing to talk nonsense, he withdrew the earphone cable, and Xia Yao's response was suddenly played through the speaker.

"Are you Jiang An?"

When Xia Yao asked this, Jiang Le also wanted to ask if Jiang An was pierced by the soul.

But after watching Jiang An for a few seconds, he only dared to explain in a low voice: "Brother, Brother Xia Yao just took me to play 3v3, we didn't do anything else..."

"Can't I take you to fight? First, I'm training youth trainees, and then I went to serve as a training partner for the second team, and now it's just that..." Jiang An turned and walked out while talking. , walked to the door and turned back and said: "Then what else do you want to do?"

Jiang Le was inexplicably scolded by this, and while he was confused, he dared not speak out. He listened to Jiang An's "chattering" until he sat down in front of the computer. He patted his chest and plugged in the headset again, and whispered to Xia Yao and Yu Junhao said sorry.

However, Xia Yao's words "Are you Jiang An" lingered in Jiang An's ears for a long time, causing him to fly to the map where they were on the first thing he did when he went online, and went straight to the place of competition as soon as he landed.

He was a little angry, but mostly with himself.

He was so angry that he seemed to be sick, as if what he ate in the afternoon was not dinner, but a mouthful of gunpowder from Chen Gu.

Xia Yao actually recommended him to White Rabbit Food?

Even Hanjiang Yingxue, who was established after he issued a military order, is about to be disbanded, so he still cares about him?

In the morning, he thought it was just the snobbery of the brand, but in the afternoon he asked Chen Guzhi if he knew about it. Unexpectedly, Chen Gu told him that it was Xia Yao who proposed it on his own initiative and went to talk to the other party.

Chen Gu finally explained that Xia Yao probably knew that he was short of money, but he himself knew nothing about Xia Yao's situation.If it wasn't for the conversation he overheard today, one day Hanjiang Yingxue announced that he would leave the team, and he wouldn't understand Xia Yao's difficulty now.

He was sitting in front of the computer, the game character came to Xia Yao's side, the mouse was placed on the three words "Qinghexia", and there was no next move for a long time.

Jiang Le didn't know when he stood behind him with a change of clothes in his arms, and tentatively said to him, "Brother...I'm going to take a shower now."

He nodded with an "um", still staring at the screen in a daze.

Jiang Le plucked up his courage and said again: "Then, then you can't enter my room."

Jiang An was taken aback, turned back to look at him and said, "What am I doing in your room? — Or is there something good hidden in your room?"

"No! No, no, I just said casually, I'm going to take a shower first!" After speaking, Jiang Le trotted to the toilet.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the toilet, Jiang An thought twice, went to the balcony and dialed Chen Gu's number—the one who called Chen Gu or Li Zhenhe, he hesitated for half a minute, this call must be for There was an uproar, and he was thinking about where it would end better.

Li Zhenhe lived on the Internet, while Chen Gu lived on his mobile phone. He answered the phone as soon as it rang. Jiang An heard him say hello twice before slowly opening his mouth: "I'm thinking about something."

"What?" Chen Gu seemed to be on the speakerphone, and Jiang An heard his voice echoing in the narrow space, "I'm taking a shower, can you tell me something after I take a shower?"

Jiang An sighed: "No, I'm in a hurry."

Chen Gu waited for him quietly for a while again, and when there was silence, he said dissatisfiedly: "...then you speak quickly!"

"Do you remember what I told you this afternoon?"

"Then of course I will never forget it. Even if I lose my memory, I will still remember you telling me that you like Xia Yao."

Jiang An glanced back at the toilet door, the sound of splashing water in his ears covered up his arrogant heartbeat.He was silent for a moment, and then "calmly" retorted Chen Gu: "Don't spread rumors, I didn't say I like him."

"...Okay, just pretend you didn't—what are you trying to say now? I'm naked, can you let me take a shower first?"

"I'll finish right away, just one minute."

Then it took Jiang An more than forty seconds to describe the purpose of the call, and Jiang Le didn't know when Jiang Le appeared and stood behind him, wearing a pair of underpants and holding a towel, looking at him stupidly.

"Jiang An, just wait for me, I'll come and kill you right now!"

Chen Gu's yelling was too penetrating, he held the phone a little farther away, said hastily to stop making trouble, and hung up the phone.

Then he saw Jiang Le's lips moving, swallowed again, and asked him cautiously: "Brother...there is no soap...can you buy me one..."

Jiang An then went down to buy soap for Jiang Le, stood in line at the cash register, took a lollipop and paid for it together.

He thought of Xia Yao again.

An Xinxin told him that the lollipop gave "her" toothache so many times, but Xia Yao still kept a straight face and did not give him a good word.

He thought, how could so many "paying for love" things be done by that person?It depends on Xia Yao's purpose, but he didn't give him a single word of understanding.

If it's because he thinks too much, then what exactly is Xia Yao trying to do.

Standing downstairs, he looked up at the sparse lights of the whole building, suddenly heaved a long sigh, and said to himself: "What are you trying to do, to make yourself so difficult."

Xia Yao really understood him beyond his expectations and beyond his imagination. He knew that he didn't like to owe favors to others, and he was like learning from Lei Feng in everything he did.Those few people he beat up that year, the school would definitely investigate. Xia Yao couldn't figure out what was going on in his family, so he took all the responsibility and transferred to another school without saying a word.

Then came the year when he was delayed in the youth training camp. Even if he knew that Lin Shuangwen was playing tricks on him, he was afraid that the more he tried to explain the problem for Jiang An, the trouble would get worse. one year.

Everyone wants him to return to the arena, only Xia Yao is trying his best to make him really return to the arena, wearing a vest to pretend to be a fan, provoking him to help him recover when he has nothing to do, and pulling champion players to be his training partner, risking being judged The risk of illegal operation used so many connections to "send" him into Shen Yanleng, knowing that he would not ask his friends to borrow money, so he even sent out the endorsement under the pressure from his father.

Jiang An felt that he might not be clear about each of these things.

Back home, Jiang Le had already showered and was drying his hair. He handed the soap over to Jiang Le, only to realize that he had bought a piece of Diao brand soap.

Or wash underwear.

Jiang An: Don't spread rumors. If you spread rumors again, I will confess my love. Do you hear me?Chen Gu: (Takes out the radio) Okay, I definitely won't say you like Xia Yao.
