Chapter 964: Chapter 946: Ye Xi Faints! (Part 1)
In the late night outdoors, the cold wind whistled, vaguely bringing a bone-chilling coldness.
Perhaps this is what Ye Xi is pursuing... extreme stimulation.
He wore a not-too-thick sportswear, swinging his arms as he jogged along the campus path. The cold wind blew past him, causing every pore on his body to contract...
The feeling of cold occupied all his thoughts.
It’s a blessing in disguise, I suppose.
Once you only feel the cold, there’s no need to think about anything else, no need to think about the girl he gave up on, or perhaps the girl who abandoned him...
Ye Xi kept running, maintaining a jogging pace, gradually running from the dormitory to the Purple Field, preparing for an extreme night run there.
Today, he wanted to make himself thoroughly cold, thoroughly exhausted, and deeply pained!
This way, perhaps he could let go.
To Ye Xi’s surprise, the Purple Field was unexpectedly lively tonight?
It wasn’t busy because of people running here...
When he arrived at the Purple Field, he discovered a very bright area with bustling chatter and pure music playing.
Ye Xi jogged closer but didn’t get too near.
He just observed from within visible range that a group of students on the Purple Field was holding an outdoor party, seemingly to celebrate the New Year together.
In such a cold outdoor setting, there were still people gathering here to celebrate the New Year, something Ye Xi had not anticipated.
But looking at this bustling group of students, Ye Xi knew very well that he didn’t deserve such liveliness.
Thus, he just took a glance, quietly backed away, and prepared to continue his run, ignoring these happenings.
Just as he turned to run off, suddenly, a petite figure appeared before him!
"Wow!"
A girl’s shout followed, startling Ye Xi.
He looked closely and, unexpectedly, Minal hadn’t left yet? Could it be that she had been following him all along?
Even though Ye Xi was lonely being alone, he despised such stalking and entanglement.
So, at this moment, Ye Xi furrowed his brows and coldly said to Minal, "Do you really want to follow me? Don’t you have any sense of shame? Don’t you know this only makes me more annoyed with you!"
In saying this, he emphasized the word ’annoyed’, speaking seriously and decisively.
Minal, hearing this, pouted silently and mumbled, "I didn’t come with you... I just ran into this group of Academy of Fine Arts seniors on my way back to the dorm. They said their stranded students organized a Fairy Stick play on the field to celebrate the New Year, so I came over to check it out... I even got a lollipop..."
As she spoke, Minal raised the lollipop she had extorted from the seniors to prove herself.
She really didn’t come to follow him...
How would she know he would come out to run?
It’s so cold out on this winter day...
Moreover, he wore even less this time coming out to run than when he returned before, as if he were courting death!
Ye Xi obviously realized he had misunderstood her, experiencing a brief moment of awkwardness.
But he quickly regained his composure and simply said to her, "You play, I’ll run."
"Hey~"
As Ye Xi brushed past her and started jogging again, Minal promptly trotted to keep up with his pace, chattering in his ear, "Why are you out running in the deep night? And wearing so little, you’ll get sick doing this!"
Ye Xi ignored her and didn’t respond, focusing only on his run.
Seeing his silence, Minal continued jogging alongside him, saying, "Can we celebrate the New Year together today? Let’s celebrate it here with the Academy of Fine Arts seniors! Hey, they have warmers over there, I’m going to beg for some to stick on you! Otherwise, aren’t you cold like this?"
While running and breathing evenly, Ye Xi replied, "No need."
His response remained terse, and his demeanor as cold as ever...
After jogging with him for a while, and hearing some words she whispered in his ear, seeing his always half-hearted attitude, Minal eventually gave up.
She felt she’d done enough trying to please him.
Besides, she hadn’t said she wanted to pursue him, or expressed any desire to be with him...
Yet he still treated her with such an attitude, making it seem like she desperately wanted to cling to him!
Minal also felt she was too passive, so, thinking it over, she gave up.
"Alright then, you run by yourself. I’m going to join the seniors in celebrating the New Year~"
She no longer chased after Ye Xi, turning around and skipping over to join the Academy of Fine Arts seniors.
The seniors from the Academy of Fine Arts, all very gentle in demeanor, welcomed Minal’s participation in their New Year celebration, knowing she was one of the students staying on campus for the holiday.
On the field, in the brightest lit area, there was a large table laden with snacks, Fairy Sticks, and a radio.
The radio played soft pure music, enhancing the atmosphere of the moment.
Under this musical accompaniment, many seniors danced ballroom, others played with Fairy Sticks, some snacked, and of course, there were seniors capturing moments with their phones...
Though the weather was cold, the atmosphere was indeed very lively at this moment.
Minal quickly blended into the atmosphere, getting along warmly with the seniors and juniors from the Academy of Fine Arts!
Minal got herself some snacks, played with the Fairy Stick, added quite a few people on WeChat, and laughed and joked with them...
In short, Minal was having a great time!
Initially, Minal had already called Mu Mu, inviting Mu Mu to join her in Purple Field.
But Mu Mu felt cold and didn’t want to engage in any New Year’s Eve activities, preferring to go to bed early, so she refused Minal’s invitation.
So, Minal had to enjoy herself alone.
Fortunately, her outgoing personality allowed her to quickly make friends.
Time quietly passed by...
Gradually, it reached 11:50, just 10 minutes until the New Year...
The closer it got to the New Year, the more excited everyone became!
Minal was beyond excited!
But with just 10 minutes to go, Minal couldn’t help but still think about Ye Xi, who was also running on the same field...
She scolded herself internally for a while, but her body honestly started searching for Ye Xi.
She thought, well, since it was almost time, celebrating the New Year together wouldn’t hurt!
So, Minal quickly found Ye Xi, who was walking on the field...
Ye Xi had been jogging for more than 30 minutes, genuinely pushing his limits.
At this moment, he really couldn’t run anymore, so he began to walk slowly around the track.
After finding Ye Xi, Minal built up her courage, then put on a thick-skinned demeanor and ran briskly towards Ye Xi.
Meanwhile, Ye Xi was experiencing three extreme sensations.
Cold... Heat... Exhaustion...
The ambient temperature made him feel cold, but the heat from intense exercise spread from inside his body.
He could feel the cold wind blowing but also felt his sweat...
And he was very tired.
Since returning to Beijing these past few days, he hadn’t felt energized even once; his body was constantly in a state of fatigue, almost like in a periodic hibernation.
More than half an hour of jogging, and Ye Xi indeed pushed his physical limits to the extreme.
He was very tired!
So tired that even while walking, he felt like a walking corpse, unable to feel the ground with each step.
As if he was walking on clouds, or mud, a very fleeting feeling.
"Hey hey hey!"
Minal, overly excited, ran up to him, hopping and bouncing backward in sync with his pace.
"How’s the workout going? It’s almost enough, right? Let’s go find the seniors from the Academy of Fine Arts and celebrate the New Year together!" Minal said to Ye Xi with a cheerful smile.
Ye Xi suddenly stopped in his tracks...
Minal also stopped following his pace, still with a smiling face, blinking her eyes and seriously staring at him.
He suddenly stopped.
Had her words gotten through to him?
Was he going to celebrate the New Year with her?
Finally moved?
Wow...
That’s not easy!
Minal’s thoughts were incredibly rich at that moment!
She even started to feel joyful inside...
However, Ye Xi, in front of her, didn’t reply a single word, just frowned slightly and breathed heavily...
After waiting for a long time without getting his response, Minal was preparing to say something more when suddenly!
Ye Xi leaned toward her, instantly collapsing onto her!
The sudden weight caught Minal off guard, and she fell to the ground with him!
"Whoa—so heavy!"
Minal couldn’t support him, directly falling together with him to the ground.
But she instinctively wrapped her arms around his shoulders, "Whoa! What’s wrong! Did you faint!"
At that moment, Minal lost her senses...
