In the back seat of the taxi, He Tianran rested his head on Cao Aiqing's shoulder. The girl sat upright, her face flushed, and she smelled the strong smell of alcohol emanating from the boy, which made her a little confused.
He Tianran was talking nonsense, and Cao Aiqing listened carefully. Unfortunately, most of them were irrelevant trivial matters and movie terms. It could be seen that he was in a really good mood after being admitted to the film school.
Looking at the man and woman in the rearview mirror, the knowledgeable taxi driver said:
"Beauty, please watch your boyfriend. If you are going to vomit later, let me know in advance so that I can find a place to park. You can take him out of the car to vomit."
When Cao Aiqing heard the word "boyfriend", she said "ah" first, then hurriedly looked at the sleeping He Tianran. Seeing that there was nothing abnormal, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then remained silent for a few seconds, with a mysterious "Hmm" in her nose. "Sounded.
The girl may not have thought of this "hmm". She was so cramped that she didn't know where to put her eyes. She could only look at the slightly bent hands on her knees. After being stunned for a moment, she turned her head involuntarily and secretly Looking at He Tianran who was sleeping soundly.
The driver saw the little girl's youthful behavior through the rearview mirror and found it very interesting. He sighed in his heart that it is good to be young.
When they arrived at the community where He Tianran lived, Cao Aiqing was worrying about how to move He Tianran home when the driver suddenly said:
"I'll drive directly to the parking lot on the first floor of the community. You can just take the elevator up. Otherwise, if your boyfriend is so tall, you won't be able to move it."
Cao Aiqing's problem was solved in one sentence. Naturally, the girl was overjoyed and thanked her. When she arrived at the door of her house, she opened the door through He Tianran's fingerprint and finally placed him on the bed. A circle of sweat appeared on Cao Aiqing's forehead.
"Tian... nature... I'm leaving, you have a good rest..."
Seeing the boy turning over on the bed, Cao Aiqing, who was standing aside, said that in the quiet night, she seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat.
This kind of behavior of sending a boy home alone made the well-behaved Cao Aiqing feel very ambiguous, and now that she was still in someone else's bedroom, her reason prompted her to leave quickly. When she turned around and came to the entrance, she stretched out her hand to open the door. When leaving, there was a "wow" sound behind her, and she quickly returned to the bedroom worriedly.
Just as the driver said, He Tianran vomited, and in the bedroom, the filth and stench from all over the place hit his face.
The boy propped himself up on the bed, feeling uncomfortable all over and his throat swelling.
In a daze, he felt a refreshing fragrance drifting into his nose, and then his back seemed to be gently caressed by a pair of hands, which relieved his discomfort a lot.
But in this state, he could no longer tell whether he was dreaming or reality. He muttered hoarsely:
"Water...water..."
After a while, a bottle of mineral water fruit appeared in front of him. He Tianran didn't care much, raised his head and drank half of the bottle. Being drunk, he felt that the action of draining the water was too troublesome, so he simply let go of the water bottle. It fell to the ground, and the water and vomit merged together on the ground. He didn't care and fell asleep.
There was a sound in my ears. The lights in the guest room seemed to be on, followed by the bathroom. The footsteps moved from near to far and then from far to near. This sound caused He Tianran, who wanted to sleep, to frown again and again. He kept complaining, please keep your voice down. .
The movement lasted for half an hour. In the hazy moment, He Tianran couldn't tell who the black figure was that kept lingering in front of him, but he just felt it was very familiar.
Because of cleaning, Cao Aiqing had already taken off her heavy down jacket to facilitate movement. Now she was wearing a sweater, with the cuffs rolled up to her elbows.
After finishing cleaning up, the girl put the mop in her hand back into the bathroom. She wiped her sweat with the back of her hand and rubbed her sore waist. Normally, her mother would stop her from helping with housework, but now she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Habit.
She was also a little tired. She sat on the sofa in the living room for a few minutes before returning to the bedroom. After entering the door, she raised her nose and smelled it. When she mopped the floor, she specially added some vinegar to the water. Now when she smelled it, there was really no smell. .
She walked lightly to the window and opened a small opening to ensure that the room was ventilated and that she would not catch a cold. Cao Aiqing was finally done with her work. She put her hands on her hips and moved her head counterclockwise, moving her neck.
He Tianran was looking for water again on the bed. This time, Cao Aiqing was so frightened that he watched him drink it bit by bit, ready to take it as soon as he showed signs of impatience.
Fortunately, He Tianran was very good at drinking water this time. Even after drinking, he half-closed his eyes and said stupidly:
"Thank you~~Crab~"
"Are you awake?"
Cao Aiqing held the mineral water, blinked his eyes, and looked at the boy sitting on the bed, distracted.
"Hiccup~"
He Tianran burped in response, and then he lay down on the bed, not knowing whether he was asleep or awake.
"Tranquility, are you okay?"
Cao Aiqing squatted beside the bed and couldn't help but poke He Tianran's face with his fingers.
"Okay...very good...don't worry...I can still drink..."
Hearing this vague babble, Cao Aiqing couldn't help laughing and couldn't help but want to tease him:
"Can you still drink? Are you serious?"
"No... no... I don't lie to others... I, He Tianran... never lie to others..."
"Then..." Cao Aiqing stared at the boy's sleeping face, pursed her lips and hesitated again and again. She finally leaned out and whispered in his ear:
"Then...then do you still like me now?"
After saying this, Cao Aiqing shrank and returned to the bedside. The girl squatting on the ground had bright eyes, carefully and expectantly waiting for the other party's reply.
God knows why she had to be so cautious when faced with such an unconscious drunk man and no third party was present.
"Of course...I like...like you...I like you more than just now...I will always like you...we will get married...I want to be with you forever...my future will definitely be You are here..."
He Tianran spoke intermittently, but the more he spoke, the more Cao Aiqing's heart palpitated.
She thought about the disappointment she felt when she found out that He Tianran was with Jiang Xixi; she thought about the first time she jumped over the wall to skip class, and was afraid but wanted to see him desperately; she thought about the shadow of the two leaning against each other on the bus; After being bullied, the boy’s companionship and protection; and that day, the most beautiful sun I have ever seen in my life.
Everything is so wonderful and vivid in my mind.
Now, the boy that he liked but never had said that he liked him, and he said that he would definitely be there in his future.
Even though this is just a drunken remark.
However, this is enough to make the simple girl shed tears quietly.
The crybaby was still the same crybaby, but it seemed that she had only shed tears in front of He Tianran.
This is something no one has ever seen before. The tears are not because of sadness, but because of joy.
The cold wind blowing from the window seemed extremely gentle at this moment, as if it had taken away the girl's hesitation and melancholy.
Cao Aiqing wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her fingers. She was timid, but she still mustered up the courage. With her cheeks red, she whispered to the drunk He Tianran:
"Then you...then can you express your love to me again? This time I will definitely promise you, and you must not give up halfway. Don't be self-righteous anymore, think that you are a toad or something, in my heart , you are very, very good...I...I am a girl...I also like you very much...but taking the initiative to speak...I can't do it...I also want others to know, I am really liked by a boy named He Tianran, and I also like him very much, so you must promise me, okay?"
Cao Aiqing said these words sincerely and cautiously, for fear that the boy on the bed would say the word "no".
However, He Tianran was drunk after all and showed no sign of continuing to speak.
Cao Aiqing poured out her feelings to the girl. She was very shy at first. After she calmed down, she realized that she had crossed the line. She got up nervously and wanted to escape.
But after being drunk, He Tianran was dizzy. He felt that there was someone next to him, very close at hand. In the hazy state, he subconsciously reached out his hand and grabbed the other person's catkin.
The man didn't break free and just let him hold on tightly.
The touch is so real, so soft.
"Don't go...don't leave me...I promise you...I promise you everything..."
Listening to He Tianran's helpless and attached words, Cao Aiqing slowly squatted down again, stretched out his other hand on the head of the bed, and rested his head gently on it. They held hands and felt each other's breathing. Ai Qing's heart was shaken and his mind was confused.
"If I don't leave, I'll stay with you. I'll wait for you to wake up, wait for you... wait for you to do what you promised me... okay?"
The girl's eyes when looking at the boy are full of tenderness and sweetness.
He was still telling her not to leave, so she pulled the quilt upwards. Listening to his random murmurs, she felt distressed and happy at the same time.
Then, just when she decided to stay with He Tianran tonight, she heard this sentence——
"Don't go... Wen Liang... don't leave me... don't go... don't go... I promised you... I will never lie to you again..."
A heart beating passionately felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar after these words.
