The two walked slowly along the esplanade, passing a pair of lovers leaning against each other along the way.

Lin Li stuck out her tongue: "It seems that we have come to the wrong place at the wrong time." ”

"yes, let's go back. Junjie suggested.

"Why go back, what's the big deal, aren't we also a man and a woman? ”

Junjie was stunned for a moment, Lin Li generously reached out to hold Junjie's arm, and said playfully, "Look, aren't we also qualified to shop here?"

"Makes sense. Junjie also gave her a grimace.

The two of them walked forward quietly, Junjie tried to keep his mood calm, not wanting Lin Li to notice his uncontrollable excitement at the moment like the waves under his feet. Holding his beloved girl and strolling along the esplanade of the port city, Junjie really wondered if he was in a dream.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Li turned to look at him.

"Hmm...... Not...... It's nothing. Lin Li pulled his thoughts back.

"Ask you something, and you answer me honestly. Lin Li said seriously.

"You say. ”

"Last night...... What did you think when you saw me for the first time in the nightclub?" Lin Li asked with some hesitation.

"What do you think? I was only anxious at that time, how could I still think about anything?" Junjie replied seriously.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I can't even think about things. ”

"Why are you in a hurry? Do you still need to ask? I'm afraid you'll be bullied by those people. ”

"I'm bullying others, why are you in such a hurry, anyway, this kind of place is what I want to go to, and I deserve to be bullied. ”

"How can that happen, we are fellow countrymen after all, how can I ......"

"Hehe, yes, we're fellow countrymen, I almost forgot, you are really righteous to fellow countrymen. Lin Li said lightly, which was originally next to Junjie's arm, but also moved a little farther away.

Lin Li's disappointed tone when she spoke left Junjie at a loss, not knowing what he had said wrong, and not knowing how to make up for it. Neither of them spoke, but walked forward silently, only listening to the sound of the thin waves under their feet coming quietly like a sigh, and quietly moving away.

"I heard—" Junjie finally mustered up the courage to break the silence, "are you going back to your hometown?"

"I heard?!Who did you say?" Lin Li asked vigilantly, seeing that Junjie was a little hesitant, she said: "You don't have to hide it for others, except for Bao Jingshu, who else can there be?" Lin Li's clear eyes looked at him fixedly.

Junjie shook his head, "I...... It's not to say goodbye, I'm here to persuade you to stay, I remember chatting before saying that you want to stay in Xinggang after graduation and don't want to go back to your hometown. ”

"You remember what I said. Lin Li smiled a little moved, "But people's minds always change." ”

"I think you decided to leave because you think it's hard to find a job, but you think, you want to give up before we graduate in a month, why don't you give yourself a little more time?"

"You persuade me to stay, is it any good for you for me to stay?" Lin Li's eyes flickered, and she asked him a little narrowly.

"At least there's no harm, it's better to have one more friend by your side than one less. Junjie grinned, trying to hide his true thoughts.

"You're realistic, hehe. Lin Li teased him.

Junjie tried to find a reason to tell whether he should tell his love for her or not, in fact, when he came tonight, he had already made up his mind to confess to Lin Li no matter what, even if he was rejected, it would be better than if she never knew it. But the opportunity was already in front of him, but he hesitated again and again, not knowing how to talk about it.

"Actually, I'm not as realistic as you say," Junjie was thinking about how to organize his language so that his expression was not too abrupt, "I ...... I actually have another reason why I want you to stay, I wonder if you would like to hear it?"

"You say, why are you spitting?"

"I miss you...... You can stay, so ...... Give me time to pursue you. In the end, Junjie said what he wanted to say in a tone that seemed to be joking.

Lin Li looked at him seriously: "You saw everything last night, do you still want to pursue me? You are looking for me to be happy, right? Haven't you always looked down on such girls?"

"To be honest, I probably wouldn't have understood how you feel if it weren't for this time of looking around like a headless fly, just like me, after countless failed interviews, my expectations of myself plummeted, and in this state, I would inevitably go the wrong way. But I know that you are different from people like Bao Jingshu, she just wants to rely on her youth and her appearance to make easy money, but you are not that kind of person. And last night you at least knew how to pick up a knife to protect yourself, so I didn't have any prejudice or opinion against you because of this matter. I just said that I was pursuing you, and I didn't mean to joke at all, in fact, I have always had such thoughts, but I just felt that my conditions were too poor, I was afraid that I would not be worthy of you, and of course I was even more afraid of being rejected by you, so I concealed it until now. I don't know why, after Junjie said the words buried in his heart, he was relieved in his heart, and he didn't feel much embarrassment, after all, there is nothing wrong with liking someone.

"If I stay, will you really pursue me?" Lin Li looked at him with a smile, and a playful expression appeared on her face again, and Junjie's confession just now seemed to untie her heart knot.

"I ...... I swear, if you're willing to stay......" Junjie heard the meaning of Lin Li's words: she was not only willing to stay, but also accepted his pursuit, and couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in her heart.

Lin Li interrupted his words, raised her head and said, "I don't want your oath, I just want to see your actions." ”

Junjie smiled innocently, let go of Lin Li's arm, sneaked into the flower garden next to the trail, chose a big and bright rose, picked it, and returned to Lin Li's side, and said word by word: "Miss Lin Li, I solemnly announce to you that from this moment on, I will officially pursue you, and I will chase you to the end of the world." I hope you don't be afraid, don't run away, because it's useless to run, my short circuit has won awards, and no matter where you run, you can't escape from the palm of my hand. At the beginning, Junjie was still speaking seriously and affectionately, but later, he began to play freely. I don't know why, once the emotions that have been buried in his heart for a long time are released, his whole person is much more relaxed, and his speech is also lively.

Lin Li took the rose and knocked it on Junjie's head, "What are you talking about......?

This night's esplanade belonged to the two of them, the two of them held hands, and they didn't know how many roads they walked, how much turf they trampled on, both of them had endless words, and wanted to tell each other that although they were from the same place, their upbringing was completely different, and Junjie's conversation box was completely opened, and he told her about his childhood, and told her those sad stories of poverty as jokes. She had never imagined that he had so many stories, so many experiences, that she had never heard him before, and that night, she had heard more from him than she had ever told her in the four years she had known him.

In the end, when Junjie sent Lin Li back to the apartment and separated, Lin Li said coquettishly: "Isn't it too fast for me to accept your pursuit, people say that the process of being pursued is the most enjoyable." ”
