During the whole process of climbing the mountain,Ethan kept walking silently.The girls in the group tried to strike up a conversation with Ethan one after another,but they only got a few words from Ethan.
When we climbed to Wangjiangkou,Lily and I saw a restroom nearby,so we went together to take care of our physical needs.
When the two of us came back,we saw Ethan coldly scolding a girl who had been trying to chat him up before.
Lily pulled Alex over and asked him the reason.Alex sighed and said,"Cindy just bumped into Ethan and knocked Ethan's bag down.The Spider-Man figurine was in the bag."
Although Wangjiangkou wasn't the highest point of the mountain we climbed,it was still more than 700 meters high.There was a 1.5-meter-high railing around it to prevent tourists from having accidents.
And now,Ethan's Spider-Man figurine had fallen down,and it was probably never going to be found again.
When we were returning,Ethan got on the bus last.There was no other seat except the one next to me on the bus.
Ethan looked around and,after confirming several times that there were no empty seats,slowly walked over and sat down next to me.
Looking at his extremely reluctant appearance,I guessed that this person wasn't feeling embarrassed because of the incident of tearing up my love letter before,was he?
Thinking of this,I was also angry in my heart.But seeing Ethan's sullen face ever since the figurine fell off the cliff,I felt a bit sorry for him.So I poked him and took the initiative to say,"Are you okay?"
Ethan looked at me and said sullenly,"My Spider-Man figurine can't be found.How can I be okay?"
I comforted him and said,"There must be similar ones on Taobao..."
Hearing my words,Ethan gave me a sideways look and said in a幽幽tone,"Haley,if you can't speak,you can shut up."
After saying that,Ethan turned his head and closed his eyes,pretending to be asleep,not wanting to look at me anymore.
I sat in my seat at a loss,annoyed that I was really bad at speaking.How could I tell someone who had lost their precious figurine that there were the same ones on Taobao?
After all,this Spider-Man wasn't just a figurine.It was also a gift from the person he liked!Something with a special meaning,what was the use of buying an identical one?
I sat in my seat dejectedly,silently lamenting in my heart.
It seemed that in front of Ethan,I was always so cautious yet clumsy,always accidentally stepping on his sore spots.
After coming back from the hiking trip,every time I thought of Ethan's matter,I was in a bad mood.
On the one hand,I was worried that Ethan would have an even worse impression of me.On the other hand,I was worried about how sad he must be to have lost the figurine he cherished so much.
On Saturday afternoon,after my senior sister and I initially completed the debate script for next week's debate competition and were about to go back to our respective dormitories,I met Ethan at the entrance of the library.
When Ethan saw me,he walked straight towards me and stopped in front of me.
My senior sister saw that the situation was not right and stood in front of me,raising her eyebrows and looking at Ethan:"This classmate,do you have something to do?"
Ethan frowned slightly:"I'm here to find Haley..."
My senior sister looked at Ethan,then at me,and tentatively asked,"Then I'll go back first?"
I nodded slightly.After my senior sister left,I took two steps forward and stood in front of Ethan,asking,"What do you want from me?"
Ethan took a deep breath and didn't look at me:"I...shouldn't have taken my anger out on you on the bus the other day."
"Sorry."
I stared blankly at Ethan in front of me,seeing his eyes lowered,as if he was really annoyed about what happened before.
I didn't expect that while I was worried that Ethan would hold a grudge,Ethan was also worried that his words would make me hold a grudge against him.
Ethan said he wanted to treat me to milk tea to apologize.I didn't want him to take this matter to heart,so I readily agreed.
After buying the milk tea,I walked with him on the tree-lined path on campus.Ethan tried hard to find topics all the way and talked to me about all kinds of things from the past.
I didn't want to let the conversation die,so I also tried my best to cooperate with him.
The way back to the dormitory was very short,and it seemed to arrive in the blink of an eye.
