On the terrace, the two wished each other Happy New Year.
Gu Chenxi tilted his head and looked at Kong Liu beside him. Kong Liu looked at the lively street downstairs.
On the streets, everyone was immersed in the joy of the countdown.
The ten-second countdown was simply too fast, so fast that people couldn't react.
When I turned on the phone again, it had changed to the New Year’s date.
On the edge of the guardrail of the Bund Pedestrian Street, Wang Qi carefully put his arm around Yang Xueer's shoulders and said, "I just scratched a lottery ticket and made ten yuan, but I'm not too happy. Do you know why?"
Yang Xueer said: "You secretly bought lottery tickets behind my back again!"
"The point is not the lottery!" Wang Qi looked at Yang Xueer and said, "I mean, meeting you is more satisfying than how much money I make."
"Hey, who did you learn this from? Why are you so glib now?"
Yang Xueer blushed and covered her face with her hands, feeling a little embarrassed. Although she blamed Wang Qi for his glib tongue, which girl doesn't like love words.
Even if they are earthy love words, if you say them to a girl who really likes you, they are also earthy sincerity.
Wang Qi was at a loss and scratched the hair on the back of his head with his hands. He looked a little naive and said, "You...if you don't like it, I won't say anything next time."
Yang Xueer covered her hot face and said, "If you don't tell me, will you tell other girls?"
"No, no, no...I...I'm just telling you..."
"say what?"
"Love words."
"What love words?"
"This year, next year, and every year after that, I will only say to you...I love you."
…
"Why haven't you left yet?"
Shen Xia, who had been busy all night, looked at Du Hongyuan who was squatting at the exit of the playground with a tired look on her face.
Du Hongyuan stood up suddenly, looked at Shen Xia, and stammered: "I... I'm alone tonight... in the dormitory, it's quite boring."
Shen Xia pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Were you also abandoned by your roommate?"
"Ah...right!" Du Hongyuan smiled bitterly and said, "These three bastards, I don't even know if they will come back tonight."
"So, you are left alone as a pathetic ghost..."
Shen Xia thought for a while and then said: "They seem to be two poor ghosts."
"You...you are not..."
Du Hongyuan waved his hand and asked in a low voice: "Just now... wasn't there a junior who asked you for your contact information?"
"Hmm, that's right."
Shen Xia pursed her lips and snorted softly. She stared at Du Hongyuan's face, as if she wanted to see his reaction.
When they were backstage tonight, Du Hongyuan's words made Shen Xia suddenly realize that he seemed to like her.
However, you know that this does not mean that Shen Xia also likes Du Hongyuan.
The two of them had very little interaction. He gave her a warm baby and porridge tonight, which really warmed Shen Xia's heart. But if she was moved by these alone, Shen Xia would not have been single for so many years.
Although Tiantian and Gu Chenxi said that she wanted to fall in love, when someone really pursued her, Shen Xia would still stay awake and make careful choices. Falling in love is not something that can be started just by saying "like".
Shen Xia didn't hate Du Hongyuan's liking at most, but it was obviously unrealistic for her to suddenly fall in love with Du Hongyuan.
After hearing Shen Xia's answer, although Du Hongyuan tried hard to control his emotions, a look of disappointment still appeared on his face.
He said: "It's...very good...there are still so many people who like you."
"That's not like..."
Shen Xia shook her head and said calmly: "What they like is the glamorous host sister on the stage, not Shen Xia. If Xiao Xi, Xiao Nan, and Lin Zhi were standing on the stage today, , they will still like it, I don’t need such cheap likes.”
"I……"
Du Hongyuan seemed to be clenching his fists, as if he had made some determination.
He said: "Me and..."
Before Du Hongyuan could finish his words, Shen Xia interrupted him: "Don't say 'you are different from them'. I have heard it too many times."
Du Hongyuan was speechless. Du Hongyuan, who was usually eloquent, his mind went blank at this moment and he couldn't hold back a single word.
After a long time, Shen Xia spoke first: "It's quite cold. Go back to bed early."
"You...you should also go back and rest early."
"Um."
Looking at Shen Xia's leaving figure, Du Hongyuan seemed to still have something to say. He shouted to Shen Xia loudly: "Wait, wait a minute!"
"Um...Classmate Shen Xia...can I...chasue you?"
After saying these words, Du Hongyuan wilted like a deflated rubber ball.
"..."
Shen Xia stood still, turned back and said, "It's not easy for me to chase you."
"It's okay... I... I will prove it with my actions... I am really different from them!"
"I'll wait for you to prove it to me."
After Shen Xia finished speaking, she didn't look back and walked towards the girls' dormitory.
The words fell on Du Hongyuan's ears, and he felt as if his soul was about to fly out of his body and follow Shen Xia into the women's dormitory.
Du Hongyuan said to himself: "She asked me to prove... Does that mean she agrees with me chasing her, right?"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"
Du Hongyuan squatted on the edge of the playground and laughed, his laughter was a little crazy.
So, the next day, a rumor spread in the school - on New Year's Day night, the school was haunted. It was in the playground, and the laughter was very scary. It was said that the dead illegitimate son of the principal came back to take revenge.
Some people are happy and some are sad. While the love paths of the three of them are developing steadily, one person is secretly crying.
Chen Zhirui, ever since he came back from the interview last night, he looked like he was hopeless. At this moment, he was lying on the bed, motionless like a corpse.
How melancholy Du Hongyuan was when he was lying in bed last night, Chen Zhirui today is hundreds of times more melancholy than Du Hongyuan yesterday.
"What's wrong with this kid?"
Wang Qi bit into the bun he just bought, looked at Du Hongyuan standing under Chen Zhirui's bed, and asked.
"I didn't know." Du Hongyuan took out a bun from Wang Qi's bag and said while eating, "I was going to die when I came back last night."
Wang Qi glanced at Du Hongyuan and said, "The buns are two and a half yuan, how do you pay?"
Du Hongyuan curled his lips and said, "Damn it, do you still need money to eat your buns?"
Wang Qi placed the payment code in front of Du Hongyuan: "We brothers will settle the accounts."
Du Hongyuan raised his middle finger and said, "Don't they say that northerners are generous? How come you have changed?"
Wang Qi said: "You are stereotyping, and when I should be generous, I have never been stingy!"
"Ah, okay, okay, here it is, here it is."
Du Hongyuan gave Wang Qi two and a half yuan.
"Why did you two exchange money?" Kong Liu came in from the door and said, "Did you do some shameful transaction behind my back?"
As Kong Liu spoke, he also took out a bun from Wang Qi's bag and stuffed it into his mouth.
Du Hongyuan pointed at Kong Liu and asked Wang Qi: "Why don't you accept his money?"
Wang Qi said indifferently: "Old Liu introduced me to the job, what's wrong with eating a steamed bun?"
"Holy shit, you treat me differently!"
