"I'll explain to the dean that this has nothing to do with you. I should be the one to be punished." Shuxin was so anxious that she didn't notice Wei Zichen was holding her wrist.
Wei Zichen, on the other hand, felt her smooth and delicate skin. His ears instantly turned red and he quickly let go. "I was the one who went into the archives. How are you going to explain that? Are you going to say that you ordered me to do it? "
"You were ordered by me to begin with." Shuxin said matter-of-factly.
Wei Zichen stared at Shuxin with a heated gaze. "I wasn't ordered by anyone. I helped you willingly."
Shuxin understood what Wei Zichen's gaze meant. She furrowed her brows and stayed silent for two seconds before meeting his gaze. "Wei Zichen, what I said in the hallway that day was true. You..."
"Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it." Wei Zichen hurriedly explained, "As the class president of third year class two, it's natural for me to help my classmates."
Shuxin knew this was just an excuse Wei Zichen came up with, but since he said it like that, there were some things she couldn't say too much. Otherwise, it would seem like she was overthinking things.
Shuxin smiled straightforwardly. "Thanks, my good class president. Since you're so loyal, I'll follow you from now on. Can I call you Chen Ge?"
A hint of sadness flashed through Wei Zichen's eyes. She had taken his kindness to be a sign of loyalty, and had turned the feelings between a man and a woman into a revolutionary friendship between classmates.
Hehe, the girl he likes is indeed different. She's smart and sly.
Wei Zichen curved his lips into a bitter smile. "As long as you're happy, you can call me anything."
"Okay, Chen Ge." Shu Xin generously patted Wei Zichen's shoulder, then took the broom from his hand. "Since you broke the school rules for me, I naturally can't let you be punished alone. I'll sweep the field, and you'll do the self-criticism. It's decided then."
"That won't do. The field is so big, and the weather is hot. How can a girl like you do this kind of work? Go back to class, I'll do it." Wei Zichen said as he tried to snatch the broom from Shuxin's hand.
Shuxin dodged to the side and looked at Wei Zichen with a frown. "You're the only one allowed to be righteous, but I have to be heartless?"
Wei Zichen was amused by Shuxin's words. He thought for a while and said, "Let's clean up together. It'll be faster if we have more people. We don't have to stay here under the sun."
"Alright." Shuxin could see the determination in Wei Zichen's eyes, so she could only agree.
Another day, Wei Zichen did a self-reflection in front of the entire school during the class break.
The field was cleaned twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.
The next day, Shuxin woke up early on purpose. She thought that it would be better if she cleaned the house alone. After all, Wei Zichen was punished because of her.
But when she arrived at the field, Wei Zichen was already there.
Wei Zichen was a bit surprised to see Shuxin. "Why are you here so early?"
"Aren't you here too?" Shuxin guessed that Wei Zichen must have wanted to clean the field alone.
The two of them smiled tacitly.
On the evening of the third day, Shu Xin and Wei Zichen came to the field to clean as usual. Although the sun in the west had been blocked by the teaching building, the ground that had been exposed to the sun for a day was still very hot. It was like a steamer, constantly emitting steam. After cleaning, the two of them were sweating all over.
Wei Zichen smiled as he took the broom from Shuxin's hand. "To celebrate the end of our punishment, I'll treat you to ice cream. Don't reject me this time."
Two days ago, Wei Zichen invited Shuxin, but she rejected him.
"… Okay."
"I'll put the broom and the manure machine back. Wait for me here."
"Okay."
