Chapter 2280 Want to Protect Her
Chapter 2280 Want to Protect Her
Marcy didn't take this little thing to heart and quickly put it out of her mind.
Because with the arrival of a new week, the long-awaited school sports meeting has finally begun!
Everyone's attention shifted to the sports competition, and school classes were relaxed a lot in the next few days.
Marcy's game is on Wednesday.
So in the past two days, she mainly focused on her studies.
On Tuesday night, Professor Zhang let her go home early and encouraged her: "Girl, go back and have a good rest, and try to get a good grade tomorrow."
Marcy smiled and replied, "Thank you, teacher. I'll try my best."
Professor Zhang nodded, "Well, let's go back!"
"it is good."
Marcy packed up and left the laboratory.
On her way back to the dormitory, she passed by the Biology Department and happened to see Zhou Si outside the botanical garden.
She noticed that the boy was wearing a black shirt and a pair of trousers of the same color today, which was different from his usual attire. He looked particularly noble and indifferent.
He had a suit jacket draped over his wrist, and looked like he had just attended a formal event.
In front of him stood a very beautiful girl wearing an expensive dress.
It looked like the two were having a conversation.
Because of the distance, I couldn't hear what they were saying.
But Marcy could still clearly see that the girl had an arrogant attitude, and Zhou Si's profile was incredibly cold, and his cold expression seemed to be able to solidify into substantial ice.
This atmosphere... seems a little off!
What happened? I've never seen Zhou Si like this before.
Without thinking, Marcy subconsciously hid behind the tree. She always felt that it would be very embarrassing to appear in this situation.
But I couldn’t help but wonder what the relationship was between that girl and Zhou Si?
Is she your girlfriend?
She thought about it and then shook her head. That’s not right. Zhou Si said he didn’t have a girlfriend.
But they are obviously arguing, right?
Why is that?
Feeling doubtful, she was considering staying put to avoid being discovered.
This is the only way back to the dormitory. I can't just go back and take a longer route, right?
Forget it, I'd better wait until they finish chatting before leaving, so as to avoid embarrassment for myself and others.
Just then, she heard footsteps coming towards her.
Then, a faint voice sounded in front of her, "How long are you going to hide?"
Ma Xi raised her head suddenly, and her eyes accidentally met Zhou Si's eyes, which were as deep as a cold pond.
Her heart skipped a beat involuntarily.
At that moment, she felt that Zhou Si in front of her was different from usual, strange and cold.
Like... a human being with no emotions at all.
She subconsciously began to explain, with a hint of nervousness in her voice, "Sorry, I was just passing by here...I didn't mean to peek. I promise, I didn't hear anything just now."
Zhou Si lowered his eyes and looked at her quietly for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.
Then he nodded slightly, his voice calm and indifferent, "Well, I don't mean to blame you, I saw it, it's nothing, he is just an insignificant person."
Marcy thought to herself: Is this really the case?
But looking at his expression, he doesn't seem convincing at all.
However, she was also sensible and knew her limits. She didn't ask any more questions and just changed the subject. "You are wearing this. Did you go to a cocktail party? Have you had dinner?"
Zhou Si shook his head.
Ma Xi rolled her eyes and suggested, "Then I'll treat you to a midnight snack, do you want to go? My classmate told me that there's a new barbecue restaurant next to the school gate. The food is pretty good. Why don't you try it?"
Zhou Si raised his eyebrows. Talking about eating at this time, the topic changed so quickly, but he really hadn't eaten yet tonight.
He nodded in agreement, "Sure!"
Marcy smiled and said, "Let's go!"
So the two of them walked out of the school side by side.
When we arrived at the barbecue restaurant, there were quite a lot of people inside, so Marcy asked for a private room.
The two of them went in and the waiter handed over the menu. Ma Xi then handed the menu to Zhou Si, "Take a look at what you want to eat. Don't be polite to me."
Zhou Si didn't look at the menu, he just said: "Just take a look."
Marcy thought she was treating, so she could help herself!
It was her first time at this restaurant and she didn’t know what would taste good, so she ordered all the restaurant’s specialties.
The food was served very quickly.
During the process, Zhou Si didn't eat much, as he was basically the one responsible for grilling, and Ma Xi was very satisfied with the meal.
Seeing that he barely moved his chopsticks, Marcy said, "You should eat more too, don't always give it to me."
As he said this, he put a piece of roasted beef in his bowl.
She also told Zhou Si, "Actually, when I'm in a bad mood, I like to eat and eat all kinds of delicious food. This can quickly make me feel better. If it weren't for studying medicine, I would definitely become a gourmet and try all the delicacies in the world."
In fact, she didn't know how to comfort him, so she used her own method.
Zhou Si was still grilling food with the tongs and just listened to her talk without answering.
Marcy paused, looked at him in confusion and asked, "Why? You don't believe that the method I said is effective?"
Zhou Si looked up and shook his head, saying, "No! What you said makes sense, but everyone's way of relieving stress is different."
"Oh! But how do you know if you don't try it? This method is not suitable for you! If your stomach is satisfied, maybe your mood will get better! Why don't you try it now!"
How could she not know that everyone relieves stress in different ways? She just wanted him to eat more and be a little happier, she had no other bad intentions.
Seeing how she talked about it with relish, Zhou Si found it inexplicably funny.
This girl has simple and direct ideas. When you are with her, it seems that all the unhappiness will disappear.
And it also inexplicably makes people feel a desire to protect.
Zhou Si was slightly stunned at his own thought.
Marcy was unaware of this.
In order not to spoil her fun, Zhou Si temporarily put aside the unhappiness and continued to grill food and eat with Marcy.
Later, after the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhou Si sent them downstairs to the dormitory.
Ma Xi thanked him, "Thank you for sending me back. You should go back and rest early too!"
Zhou Si nodded, "Yeah."
After saying this, he was about to leave.
Marcy suddenly remembered something and hurriedly called him, "Wait."
Zhou Si paused, looked at her in confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Marcy pulled a keychain out of her bag and handed it to him.
On it is a very soft and cute rabbit with a red heart on its chest. When you press it, the red heart will pop out and then shrink back, which is very relaxing.
Ma Xi smiled and said, "This is for you. When you are unhappy, pinch it and you will feel better!"
