After the first snowfall, the harbor city is covered in silver and the lights are on.
Cao Aiqing wore a light make-up today. She wore an off-white loose down jacket on her upper body, a brick red striped sweater underneath, and the same off-white straight pants on her lower body. She wore a pair of clean and new sneakers on her feet. People are as pure as the snowflakes in the sky.
She was dressed in white and met He Tianran, who was dressed in black. The two were walking on the snowy busy commercial street, like a young couple in love.
"You are so afraid of the cold. Wouldn't it make it colder if you exposed your ankles?"
He Tianran couldn't help but glance at Cao Aiqing's white ankles exposed under her straight pants and joked.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, obviously not wanting to answer this straight man's question.
Bai Tingting and Xue Yong, who were walking behind them, looked at each other.
Since the last New Year's Eve, the relationship between these four people has become even better. This time, they congratulated Tianran on his success in film school, so they naturally wanted to celebrate.
"Didn't you say that He Tianran is very good at falling in love? Listen to the questions he asked, why do you sound like a fool?" Bai Tingting whispered to Xue Yong quietly.
Naturally, Xue Yong wanted to say something to his brother, so he forcefully explained: "Maybe this is a way for high-end players to return to their original nature. Pretending to be 'straight' is very popular nowadays."
Bai Tingting frowned, and Xue Yong abruptly averted his gaze.
He himself didn't believe this explanation. Isn't it cold to expose his ankle?
Why don't you ask others why Cao Aiqing doesn't wear long johns?
Do you really treat the goddess as your best friend?
Gan!
Regarding the relationship between the two people in front of them, Xue Yong and Bai Tingting were like mirrors. In school, which boy had ever been so close to Cao Aiqing? It's one thing for a girl to be easy to get along with, but it's another thing to keep a distance. They all know that these two people definitely have a crush on each other, but no one has broken this layer of paper.
Seeing this subtle relationship really makes Xue Yong and Bai Tingting feel itchy. This is a mentality of just watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously. Now they have become the CP leaders of He and Cao. Every time the four of them meet, They just like to silently observe the progress of the relationship between the two people, just like following a youth campus romance drama that is so bloody that it makes their scalp numb.
The male protagonist and the female protagonist, everyone in the audience knows that they will be together, but how and when they will be together really whet the appetite of the people.
"You are so young. Brother Tianran is someone who has been in love twice after all."
Xue Yong complained angrily.
"I only know that he and Jiang Xixi were together. This is one time, and the other time... it couldn't really be with Wen Liang, right? How long did they talk about it?" Bai Tingting asked curiously.
When mentioning this, Xue Yong said angrily: "Add the two paragraphs together, it will be two days, he said it himself."
Bai Tingting had a dark look on her face: "Then he is really lonely, no wonder he is so straight, but... this is also good for Ai Qing."
"I think Brother Tianran lacks a demonstration and needs us to give him a push."
"Ah? How to push?"
At this time, He Tianran in front seemed to hear someone whispering about him. He turned around and said:
"You go faster, the two of you are chattering, you are not..." As he said that, he showed an ambiguous look.
Bai Tingting was so depressed that she held her forehead, while Xue Yong glared back at him.
"During the winter vacation, Xue Yong made several appointments with Tingting. Although the two have not confirmed any relationship, there should be progress between them."
Cao Aiqing on the side said softly.
He Tianran has been obsessed with exams recently, so naturally he didn't know this. He curled his lips and nodded.
A few people arrived at an intersection and were waiting for a traffic light. Cao Aiqing stepped on her toes, her body rising and falling, but the highest point only reached He Tianran's nose. The boy looked at her childish behavior and smiled. He waved his hand in front of his nose, which meant that you could only go so far.
The girl pouted, clasped her hands behind her back, and stopped moving.
Bai Tingting and Xue Yong squinted at the pair of idiots.
"Be careful when crossing the road." Xue Yong suddenly said to Bai Tingting.
"ah?"
"There was news two days ago that the probability of two people crossing the road together and being hit and killed is much smaller than the probability of one person crossing the road and being hit and killed."
"Yeah!"
"Yes, this society discriminates against singles."
When the light was green, Xue Yong bent his elbow. Bai Tingting understood and naturally took it.
The two crossed the zebra crossing smoothly.
He Tianran was stunned on the spot, was he just embarrassed? Just force it?
When he turned his attention to Cao Aiqing aside, the girl was looking at him warily.
"Are you in the same group?" Cao Aiqing said slowly.
He Tianran half-raised his right hand and made an oath with three fingers pointing to the sky: "I have lived for eighteen years and have never crossed the road alone. I am still living well. What Xue Yong said is definitely fake news."
Seeing his serious look, Cao Aiqing smiled again, "Okay, let's go, otherwise it will be a red light again."
He Tianran looked around before taking the lead on the zebra crossing.
Unexpectedly, before he had taken two steps, he felt his clothes being gently tugged. When he looked back, it turned out that it was Cao Aiqing who was tugging at the corner of his clothes. The girl turned her head away and did not dare to look at him.
"I'm afraid you're dead..."
The girl defended herself in a low voice.
This gesture, which was like a kitten whispering, made He Tianran's heart beat wildly twice.
"I don't know whether I will die or not. It's just that you pulling me across the road like this is really dangerous."
He Tianran reached out and took Cao Aiqing's hand holding the corner of her clothes. This hand was cool and soft. Just now he asked her if she was cold, but she was still arrogant and refused to answer him. As expected, girls all have the same attitude. No, it's a beautiful "frozen" creature.
Cao Aiqing's hand slightly shrank back as if she was electrocuted, but she had no intention of breaking free. She only felt that the big hand she was holding was warm, as if the heater in winter had just been adjusted to the right temperature.
The girl had only experienced this comfortable feeling on the fluffy belly of her own orange cat.
Xue Yong and Bai Tingting stood opposite each other with aunty smiles on their faces. Neither of them spoke a word, but turned around silently and continued to move forward. After walking for more than ten steps, Xue Yong inadvertently turned around, with his eyes half-closed, and exaggeratedly said:
"Hey, are you still holding the hand? It seems that someone was admitted to the film school today and is in a good mood. Everyone is floating~"
The two people behind him quickly let go of their hands.
"When something happy happens to people, they are usually much more courageous than usual." Bai Tingting pushed up her glasses.
Facing the strange animosity between the two of them, Cao Aiqing was so ashamed that she subconsciously moved her steps and hid behind He Tianran. The boy was also in a state of confusion and was speechless for a moment.
Why didn't you let go after crossing the road?
Is it really because I was in a good mood today that I unconsciously forgot about myself?
Or do my hands have a mind of their own?
Countless weird reasons came to mind, but none of them seemed to point to the point.
"Say...say something..."
Cao Aiqing muttered behind him.
To be honest, boys do need to take the initiative at this time. Even denying it three times is better than saying nothing.
But He Tianran was born with a somewhat crooked mind, and it was impossible to guess what his next move would be. He scratched his face and said intermittently:
"Ah...I was just thinking...if I really get hit by a car while crossing the road...at least I can give him some support..."
This is the power of humor!
As long as I am completely angry enough, you will have nothing to say!
After hearing this, Bai Tingting and Xue Yong laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their waists.
Behind him, Cao Aiqing had already hit He Tianran in the back like a storm with pink fists.
