In winter, it gets dark earlier.
It was around seven o'clock in the evening, and the light yellow street lights were already on. Xu Fei and Leiyin were walking side by side on the road.
After exchanging gifts, it was almost evening.
Since I still had a lot of things in my hands, I decided to go home directly and come back later when I have free time.
There was nothing to say along the way, everyone had their own concerns.
This time, even Xu Fei didn't take the initiative to talk, and there was a rare hint of shyness on his cheeky face.
Perhaps it was the illusion brought about by the exchange of gifts, but both of them felt that the distance between their hearts had shortened again.
Leiyin actually knew the meaning of a girl giving a boy a scarf.
But she still gave it to Xu Fei, just because the other party liked it, but she always felt a little strange in her heart.
The problem was that Xu Fei didn't understand the meaning of the 520 roses. He just wanted to give them out in a high-profile manner, so of course he was very embarrassed.
Walking nonchalantly towards home, I passed by a small park, which was a public resting place for nearby residents.
At this point in time, there were quite a few people inside.
In the center of the park, in the brightly lit square, the elderly and their grandchildren chased and played. An uncle who was walking his dog kept yawning. Dozens of aunts danced "Sunset Red" in unison in front of a loudspeaker.
In the surrounding willow woods, a few young men and women sat on benches, whispering and flirting, quietly enjoying the sweet atmosphere of love.
Xu Fei turned his head and looked at Leiyin.
On that beautiful face, the long eyelashes trembled slightly, and the light reflected the stars in her eyes, like stars.
Every time he saw such a scene, his heartbeat would always speed up, and he would feel an indescribable throbbing feeling in his heart.
Sensing Xu Fei's gaze, the girl turned her head and looked at him slightly strangely.
"Would you like to take a rest in the park? My hands are a little sore."
Unexpectedly, Xu Fei smiled awkwardly and weighed the shopping bags in his hands.
"Hmm..." Leiyin responded softly and walked towards a bench in the park.
Putting the things aside, Xu Fei folded the scarf carefully.
Then he untied his collar and wiped the sweat from his neck.
It's not that he was tired, it was mainly that he had been thinking wildly and felt a little nervous.
Leiyin gathered the hem of her skirt and sat quietly on the bench.
She crossed her fingers in front of her and looked at the people playing not far away with a peaceful smile, seeming to like such a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere.
Seeing that Leiyin was in a good mood, Xu Fei didn't bother her, but quietly walked towards her.
Thinking of Leiyin's knee pillow, she began to close her eyes and relax, enjoying the time the two of them spent together.
Not long after, the people walking in the park began to leave one after another, and the aunts also put away their speakers and prepared to go home and watch TV series.
"Fei..." Leiyin called softly.
"Well, what's wrong?" Xu Fei opened his eyes.
"The gift...was it won in the competition..." Leiyin asked.
She had the impression that the female shop assistant in the afternoon rest area said that the limited-edition lipstick could not be bought in the mall.
"Yeah, I didn't win the washing machine. I entered the competition before it was over when I passed by the cosmetics section. You know I can sing quite well."
Xu Fei said with a smile, showing a very relaxed look.
"Liar..."
Recalling the other party's terrible singing voice, Leiyin retorted quietly with words that only she could hear.
She didn't know what method Xu Fei used, but it must have been very hard...
"Really, look, this is the winning photo."
Worried that Leiyin wouldn't believe it, Xu Fei opened the photo album on his phone and showed it to her.
The first photo shows Xu Fei standing on the stage holding a box and giggling.
The second photo was of Leiyin when she received the award, and he also asked for it.
These were specially taken by the staff for the winning contestants. They are called as a souvenir, but in reality they are used as promotional material for the shopping mall next week.
"First place?..." Leiyin asked.
"No. Well, here's the thing, the machine is broken..."
Xu Fei told angrily how the organizer deprived him of his ranking and prizes.
Leiyin nodded slightly, but also sympathized with the hard-working staff.
Looking at Xu Fei who was still dancing and talking angrily.
Leiyin suddenly raised a bright smile.
Her cheeks were like blooming white orchids, and the corners of her mouth outlined a beautiful arc, overflowing with joy.
Looking into Xu Fei's eyes, she said softly: "Fei...thank you...lipstick...I like it very much..."
"..."
An unexpected and demure smile made Xu Fei freeze up.
The movements of his hands stopped suddenly, and he just looked at the other person blankly.
The girl who was usually cold and cold had never shown such a bright smile.
At this moment, Xu Fei felt his heart suddenly stop.
There is only one thought left in my mind...this must be the smile of an angel.
Like a wisp of spring breeze, a clear spring, more like sunshine and rain that nourishes the heart.
The breeze blew Leiyin's bangs, and she tucked her long hair behind her ears, keeping the smile on her lips and lowering her head slightly.
"..."
"..."
Maybe it was because the two of them were silent for a long time, Leiyin blinked her beautiful eyes and looked up at Xu Fei secretly.
When she found that the other party was still staring at her blankly, she pursed her lips and lowered her head again.
Maybe a little shy and want to change the awkward atmosphere.
Leiyin picked up the folded scarf, gently wrapped her slender arms around Xu Fei's neck, and said softly while helping him put it on:
"The wind is blowing...you will catch a cold..."
Looking at the girl's delicate face with no flaws at all, she smelled the faint fragrance.
Xu Fei's heart was beating very fast, and he had an uncontrollable urge to hug her.
Numbly, she stretched out her hand and tightly grasped Leiyin's white jade fingers that were still arranging her scarf.
Holding his slender little hand and overlapping his fingertips, Xu Fei felt that it was soft and smooth, and the ice was cold and very comfortable.
This sudden change made Leiyin's shoulders tremble slightly, and her arms tightened as she tried to pull them out, but Xu Fei held them tightly. Feeling the warmth from her palm, her cheeks quickly turned red.
She opened her mouth in a panic. She wanted to speak, but she didn't know what to say at this time, so she had to turn to the side and lower her head shyly.
Seeing Leiyin's cute figure with twinkling eyes, Xu Fei couldn't help but lowered his head and slowly leaned over.
Just when their foreheads are about to touch...
On an adjacent bench, a young couple who was checking their cell phones suddenly laughed happily, as if they had seen an interesting piece of news.
With a tight heart, the two people quickly separated and sat upright.
Xu Fei silently counted his heartbeats, feeling a little regretful about his impulse just now.
Leiyin felt the still warm touch on the palm of her hand, and her mind went blank.
After a while, Xu Fei said with a red face: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold, so I'll shake hands and check the temperature."
"Um……"
Leiyin still lowered her head, and the blush on her cheeks had spread to her neck.
Xu Fei didn't know how to explain it, so he asked again confusedly:
"Leiyin, are you cold?"
"It's not cold...I feel very, very good..."
"Then, shall we go home?"
"well……"
