Li Chenguang feels that all good things have happened recently, such as opening up his mind, making money from Ling Yexue, recently picking up corpses outside the great city wall and making a lot of money, and he even won the competition today.
Lady Luck finally saw herself.
"Brother, dong dong dong, brother, dong dong dong."
“Don’t dub yourself knocking.”
"Did you fall in?"
"What are you talking about? Brother is fine."
"But you've been in the bathroom for an hour."
"……this."
Strange to say.
Why do I feel so sick in my stomach?
Did you eat something unclean?
Li Chenguang sat on the toilet and recalled carefully. He didn't eat anything special today. The food in the school cafeteria, last week's ribs, and last month's eggs, weren't they all very common dishes.
That is to say, when I came back, I ate a lot of barbecue and drank milk tea.
Is this the so-called poor stomach that cannot enjoy wealth? After eating a little bit of good food, it is impossible to sit on the toilet.
"Brother, dong dong dong, brother, dong dong dong."
"So don't dub yourself knocking on the door."
"Did you fall in?"
"Don't ask the same question every 10 minutes, so my brother won't fall into it."
"No, she's here."
"Uh, Ye Xue?"
Then Li Chenguang had to hold his stomach and stick out his butt before coming out of the bathroom.
bad stomach ache.
Li Diexi blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Chenguang, "How does my brother look like..."
"like what?"
"Like fried pork belly."
"...Does it look so delicious?"
"Dry, completely devoid of moisture."
"..."
Li Chenguang also felt that he was about to die of dehydration.
When she came to the yard, Ling Yexue was wearing home shorts and shorts, sitting on the floor in front of the yard with a pair of round and smooth white legs, looking up at the bright moon in the distance.
She turned around and saw Li Chenguang coming over, and frowned, "What do you think?"
"You don't want to talk about dry pork belly."
"...This metaphor is quite vivid. Why are you so exhausted?"
"It's too delicate to eat if it's not enough."
"ha?"
Li Chenguang ignored Ling Yexue's doubts, placed a plate of cut ice watermelon next to Ling Yexue, and then sat down next to her.
"Why did you buy so many watermelons?"
"Die Xi likes to eat."
"...She does like it."
On a summer evening, I still want to have some ice watermelon to relieve the heat.
The two sat next to each other with a tray separated.
Ling Yexue picked up a piece of watermelon, brought it to her mouth, and chewed it in small bites.
Li Chenguang bit off half of it in one bite, spit out a lot of watermelon seeds into his palm, put them aside, and then glanced at Ling Yexue.
He didn't understand why the girl's cherry mouth was so cute and the color on her lips was so attractive, and she ate like a hamster in small bites.
Under the moonlight, Ling Yexue's little face glowed with silvery white luster, and a pair of ethereal eyes under her bangs shone like the stars in the night sky, reflecting the beautiful brilliance of the moonlight.
Li Chenguang asked casually, "I see you are a little disappointed? You are still thinking about the competition."
Ling Yexue sighed quietly, "I think I can perform better,"
"It's not your fault. Yan Ziyue is the first one, so you can only follow her. If you don't, she will be eliminated first when she is besieged, and the situation will be even worse."
Doesn't that mean selling out your teammates?
"That's not the problem. I thought about it later. Both you and Gao Wenyuan's team have formulated tactics."
There are even several sets of tactics to deal with various situations.
Only Ling Yexue's team didn't think about anything and just waited there.
Thinking about it afterwards, I found that my performance at that time was completely inferior to Li Chenguang and Gao Wenyuan.
It was obvious that he was specially recruited by Emperor Wu.
This made her very disappointed.
"I also asked the teacher, and he said that there are many similar competitions at Tebu University, which test students' various abilities and allow students to improve in actual combat. Once they can't keep up with their progress, they will be eliminated immediately. Survival of the fittest. It’s very ordinary and very cruel.”
Ling Yexue is considered the top in the fourth middle school here, but looking across the country, her qualifications and talents can only be considered average among the vast number of students at Imperial University, where the top geniuses in the country gather.
"..."
"..."
The two remained silent for a minute.
Eating watermelon silently.
Li Chen ate up the watermelon in just two bites, and could only nibble some more on the green skin.
Ling Yexue was eating watermelon, looking up at the moon, and asked casually, "Why don't you speak?"
"Uh, I don't know what to say."
"...At times like this, I usually say something like work hard and believe in yourself."
"But I don't want you to believe in yourself."
Li Chenguang is very honest.
He lowered his gaze, put the melon rind on the plate, looked at the slightly sad moonlight in the distance, and murmured, "I hope you are less confident, so that you can trust me more,"
Ling Yexue rolled her eyes at him and said with a look of disgust, "Eh--, what a dark thought."
"That's what I was thinking."
When Li Chenguang said this, he also sighed a little lonely, "However, I am not strong enough for you to believe, so you should believe in yourself."
Before you become stronger and trustworthy.
The girl saw faith and determination in the boy's firm eyes, which was a different light than before.
"Did you encounter something good recently?"
It always feels like cheering up.
"So be it."
"I took first place in the exam and also took first place in the competition. It's really unlike you."
"Please, you didn't tell me a secret because you said you'd do well in the exam, why can't you keep your word?"
Ling Yexue replied confidently, "If your words don't count, can you still bite me?"
"..."
Li Chenguang really couldn't do anything to her.
"Okay, okay, I'll just tell you."
Ling Yexue said, reaching to her neck, along the chain, took out the clock on her chest through her head, and handed it to Li Chenguang.
Li Chenguang reached out and took it, "This is the secret you mentioned."
Before observing, he first felt the fragrance coming from the watch with the girl's body temperature.
Holding this watch is like...
Li Chenguang subconsciously glanced at Ling Yexue's tall and elegant figure, which stood proudly like a mountain peak, showing the softness and erectness of a girl. Although it was not big, it was still very attractive.
The pocket watch was hidden just now...
"Where are you looking?"
Ling Yexue blushed with embarrassment, puffed out her pretty face, raised her fist, and immediately punched Li Chenguang hard on the forehead.
Li Chenguang's eyes were filled with stars, but he did not forget to maintain his innocence first, "I didn't look at my chest, I really didn't."
As soon as he finished speaking, he received another blow on the head, "How dare you say that!"
Ling Yexue's face turned as red as a Fuji apple, she raised her fists and threatened fiercely, "Go to hell."
Of course, Li Chenguang couldn't die, lest the description would get darker and darker. He changed the subject wittily, "This watch is quite...a sense of the times."
"That's all you think about?"
"Then what else."
Li Chenguang opened the pocket watch and took a look. It was very simple inside. There were only scales from 1 to 12 under the lens. There was nothing else, not even a pointer.
He turned back and forth and looked carefully, but he couldn't figure out what the secret of this thing was.
However, seeing Ling Yexue staring at him intently, Li Chenguang still praised it, "Indeed, it's quite special. This little watch has a mysterious oriental atmosphere."
Then Ling Yexue's eyesight obviously dropped a bit, and she looked at Li Chenguang with a somewhat disappointed and worried look, "That's all you think about."
"if not?"
"It's okay,...it's okay."
Ling Yexue pushed her hair away from her ears with one hand and looked into the distance a little lonely, without explaining anything.
Li Chenguang wanted to say something, but he really couldn't think of anything to say. He just felt that since this was something Ling Yexue carried with him.
"It should be something very important. Is it passed down from your ancestors? From your aunt?"
"..."
Ling Yexue paused, then shook her head slightly and said, "It's not from my mother, but it is indeed a very important thing, given to me by a very important person."
"oh."
Li Chenguang didn't know why, but when he heard what she said, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. Could it be that there was someone important to Ye Xue in the past that he didn't know about.
The more he looked at the watch, the more inexplicably familiar it felt in his heart, as if he had seen it somewhere before, or even... used it before.
But he couldn't remember it.
While thinking, Zhou Shuhan came over, stood outside the bushes in the yard, and urged Ling Yexue, "Yexue, it's time to eat."
"Um."
Ling Yexue obediently agreed, stood up and prepared to leave.
Li Chenguang quickly handed over the watch, and Ling Yexue reached out to take it.
Zhou Shuhan saw this in her eyes and frowned slightly.
Ling Yexue walked around the bushes and walked through the front door this time. At the same time, Li Chenguang stood up and nodded to Zhou Shuhan and said hello, "Auntie, good evening."
Zhou Shuhan nodded and went back.
Li Chenguang looked thoughtfully at Ling Yexue's house opposite, and stood blankly for a while, until Li Diexi's childish voice came from behind, "Brother, the second uncle is here."
