Boom—!!!
My mind felt like it had been hit by an atomic bomb, instantly blanking out!
Jiang Chi... it's him?! The anonymous informant... is he?! He has been silently doing all this behind the scenes?! Gathering evidence, reporting anonymously, threatening silence... this completely overturns my perception of him! That aloof, taciturn Jiang Chi, who seemed indifferent to everything, actually...
"And there's more!" Su Xiao continued to drop bombshells. "Today, I went to the basketball team to find my hometown friend, and they said that on the day you got hit by the ball, when Jiang Chi rushed over, his face turned pale! Later, he even privately found the guy who hit you and warned him, 'If you dare throw the ball at her again, I'll break your hands!' His tone was so fierce it could kill! That guy was so scared he avoided basketball for days!"
"He even secretly asked me about you, wanting to know if you were unhappy because of Meng Yao, if you felt isolated, and he asked me... if you really like sweet food..."
I could no longer hear what Su Xiao was saying. My ears were buzzing, and my heart felt like it was about to leap out of my chest. A wave of shock, disbelief, and a delayed surge of emotions overwhelmed me.
So... he didn't not care. So... he wasn't indifferent. Beneath all his coldness and distance lay a surging volcano! He had done so much in silence but said nothing at all, even treating me so coldly...
Was it because... he was still angry? Angry at my initial distrust, angry that I didn't choose to stand by him right away?
I seemed to have misunderstood him deeply. What a fool I am! A complete and utter fool!
An unprecedented urge surged within me. I had to find him! Now! Immediately! I wanted to tell him that I knew! I wanted to tell him how stupid I had been! I wanted...
I suddenly pushed past Su Xiao and dashed out of the dormitory like a gust of wind, recklessly heading towards that place I had gazed at countless times from afar but never had the courage to step into—the rooftop of the teaching building. I knew he would be there.
I sprinted up to the top floor with all my might and pushed open the heavy, weathered iron door.
"Ha... ha..." My breath came in heavy gasps on the empty rooftop. The evening breeze carried a chill that tousled my hair and dispersed the heat from my frantic run. The sun was slowly sinking between distant buildings, painting half the sky in rich warm shades of orange-red—magnificent yet gentle.
He stood at the edge of the rooftop with his back to me, wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans. His tall figure gazed out over the city bathed in sunset light. The golden rays outlined his form with a halo-like glow, evoking a sense of solitude yet also an indescribable determination.
As if sensing my arrival, he slowly turned around.
Our eyes met, and time seemed to pause at that moment. The world was reduced to just the two of us and the rustling wind.
His gaze remained as deep as the night sky, but the frost that had covered it for so long seemed to have melted away, revealing complex emotions beneath. There was surprise, curiosity, and a hint of... something I had never seen in his eyes before—nervousness and helplessness?
