I stood at the corner of the teaching building, took a deep breath, and tightened my grip on the book in my hands. This was the "chance encounter" I had meticulously planned for a long time, and I couldn't let it fall apart now. In the distance, Qin Feng's tall figure was walking toward me, and my heart began to race uncontrollably.
"Now's the time!" I silently urged myself, pretending to be nonchalant as I strode forward.
Bang!
I collided solidly with Qin Feng, and the books in my hands scattered across the ground. The impact was jarring; I nearly lost my balance and quickly steadied myself against the wall.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" I apologized repeatedly as I bent down to pick up the books. "I was walking too fast and didn't watch where I was going."
As I looked up, I met Qin Feng's deep-set gaze. Those eyes seemed to see right through me, sending a wave of panic through my chest.
"It's fine," Qin Feng said coolly, his tone as icy as the winter air. He bent down to pick up a book and handed it to me.
I took the book, deliberately letting our fingertips brush lightly. "Thank you," I said, flashing what I thought was my brightest smile. "I'm Zhao Yue from Class 3 of Year 2. You're Qin Feng, right? I've heard about you."
Qin Feng nodded slightly in acknowledgment. His gaze swept past my face, seemingly intent on bypassing me to continue on his way.
I quickly blocked his path. "Um, Qin Feng, I've heard you're really good at math. I'm stuck on a problem lately that I just can't figure out. Could you help me take a look?"
Qin Feng frowned slightly, appearing somewhat impatient. But he still paused, asking, "What problem?"
I felt like I had struck gold and hurriedly pulled out my prepared Exercise Book from my bag. I actually knew how to solve this problem long ago, but I had put in considerable effort to find a reason to talk to Qin Feng.
"That's the one." I pointed at the problem, deliberately showing a confused expression. "I can never figure out the solution to this."
Qin Feng took the Exercise Book and quickly glanced through it. His brow relaxed slightly, as if he had developed a bit of interest in the question.
"The key to this problem lies in..." Qin Feng began to explain, his tone still cold but now with a hint more patience than before.
I listened attentively, nodding and asking questions from time to time. In truth, I was already quite familiar with the material, but I pretended to be enlightened. "So that's how it is!" I exclaimed. "Qin Feng, you explain it so well—clearer than the teacher!"
Qin Feng gave a soft "mm," returning the Exercise Book to me. His gaze remained indifferent, but I felt it had softened a bit compared to before.
"Um..." I gathered my courage. "If I have more questions in the future, can I come to you for help?"
Qin Feng fell silent for a moment before giving a barely perceptible nod.
A wave of joy surged through me, though I tried to maintain my composure on the outside. "That's great! Thank you!" I said with a smile. "I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye!"
Watching Qin Feng's retreating figure, I secretly clenched my fist. Although this conversation wasn't a complete success, at least I had taken the first step. I knew that there was still a long way to go if I wanted to truly enter Qin Feng's world.
From that day on, I began to frequently appear around Qin Feng. During breaks, I would "happen" to go to the water cooler at the same time as him; during lunch, I would "coincidentally" run into him at the library; after school, I would "bump into" him on the same path.
At first, Qin Feng seemed wary of my presence. But as time passed, he appeared to grow accustomed to me being around. Although he still rarely initiated conversation with me, at least he was no longer as cold as he had been initially.
I started to carefully observe Qin Feng's every move, hoping to uncover the reasons behind his reclusive nature. I noticed that whenever someone brought up family topics, Qin Feng's eyes would dim. He always kept to himself, never participating in class activities and having no close friends.
Once, I saw Qin Feng in the library, engrossed in a book about psychology. He was reading intently, his brow furrowed as if he were searching for some answers. In that moment, I suddenly realized that Qin Feng's inner world might be far more complex than I had imagined.
I began to notice the hint of sadness hidden in Qin Feng's gaze. It was not ordinary melancholy, but a deep, ineffable pain. Whenever he thought no one was watching, that sadness would inadvertently reveal itself.
This realization made me even more certain that Qin Feng must have some undisclosed secret. His aloofness might merely be a facade, a way to mask his inner vulnerability.
I quietly resolved that no matter what, I would uncover Qin Feng's secret and step into his inner world. This was not just about completing a task; it was because I genuinely started to care for this seemingly indifferent boy who was, in truth, fragile inside.
Watching Qin Feng's lonely figure, I silently vowed, "Qin Feng, no matter what secrets you hold, I will always be by your side. One day, I will make you understand that there are still people in this world who truly care for you."
