Chapter 18: The Kiss of Love
On the way back, when I thought of the expressions of those gangsters who drank the "oolong tea" after I added the ingredients, I giggled and laughed, like a second fool who was laughed, laughing so much that my stomach hurt, Tu Youcheng looked at me with an incomprehensible expression: "Is it that funny?" β
"Yes! Master Tu! Don't you think it's funny? I turned around and looked at him in amazement, "Master Tu, come, smile and show me!" I tentatively pulled the corners of his mouth on either side. Apparently in no mood to take my joke, he turned around with a blank face, sat down on a stone staircase, bowed his head, and lit a cigarette.
"Don't you smoke?" I asked.
"I suddenly want to smoke." His tone had an unknown desolation in the night, and he smoked silently, one after the other.
"What's wrong?" I cautiously asked, "Did those people threaten you with something?" β
His fingers flickered, and the lonely soot fell to the ground, as if there was something unspeakable. I looked at him suspiciously, trying to find out the "unspeakable hidden" in his worried eyes, but in the end I lost to his face, and he said, "Xijia, what if you find out that I lied to you one day?" β
"Lie to me? What do I have to fool me? I laughed and said, "I'm neither rich nor colorless, what are you lying to me?" β
He looked at me with a smile and said something that made me squirt blood, "I just like itβthe best!" β
I vomit blood!
I stood up with an indignant look on my face, no, no, no! I'm going to ask him where those people come from! How did he take the army! No way! Lin Xijia, you can't be so unstrategic!
Never mind! Still don't bother with him! Ask why!
I bit my lip and turned firmly, staring at him, "What did those people tell you?" β
He looked up at me.
"Do you really want to know?"
I glared at him blankly and angrily.
"Really want to know?" He repeated it again.
I nodded, indicating my determination.
"I'm sorry-" He took a deep breath and looked at the ground with a lonely look, "I don't want to sue you for a while-"
"Hey! What do you mean? Hang my appetite isn't it! I said with a grin.
In the next second, he suddenly turned his face curiously, "Didn't I see you wearing a ring before?" Why haven't I seen you wear it for a long time? β
I looked at my empty ring finger and said, "Lost." β
"Lost?" He narrowed his eyes, shocked.
"What are you so shocked to do, and it's not your ring." I pouted.
"Whoever allowed you, you who littered," he said with great difficulty, and I looked at him like a monster, "you...... You okay? β
"Where did it go?"
"I don't know, I probably lost it when I got off the plane, what's wrong? You're so nervous, as if the ring were yoursβ" A strange thought flashed through his head, "Noβwhen have you ever seen me wearing a ring?" I lost that ring years ago! β
His eyes were like the stars in a summer night, twinkling with an uncertain light, and he looked at me as if he were about to breathe fire, but they were gentle like water.
The next second, he stood up condescendingly and kicked the leaves next to me, "Let's go." β
"Hey! You haven't answered my question yet! I stood up and chased after me.
The heart-pounding thing that jumped out of my throat happened in the next second!
Just as I was barely a foot away from him, he suddenly snapped me against a nearby tree!
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound!
It hurt my spine!
I bared my teeth in pain, covered my forehead, and complained weakly, "What are you doing...... Are you crazy? Damn the ......"
"That's right! I'm just crazy! His heavy tone, mixed with a roar of recklessness, slammed his fist into the tree pole beside me! There was an undercurrent in his eyes: "Lin Xijia...... You made me wait too long, you know...... Really waited too long......"
A slightly hoarse voice, mixed with an angry and painful roar, resounded in the silent woods! The shadows of the trees swayed, the wind stirred the leaves, and the whole forest roared like a storm! However, the world fell silent because of his words, "Lin Xijia, be my girlfriend." β
The next second, before I could react, a hot thing kissed me on the lips.
In an instant, I lost consciousness. My brain went blank, I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear anything, the whole world seemed to be still...... The rest is only his dream-like murmuring: Lin Xijia, be my girlfriend, be my girlfriend......
When I got back, I took a cold shower as fast as I could, and I looked at the mist-filled mirror, which reflected my panicked and slightly reddened face. I shook my head vigorously, trying to dispel the heart-wrenching memories of the night......
Lin Xijia...... Be my girlfriend......
Lin Xijia...... Be my girlfriend......
The words of that guy kept lingering in my ears, and I covered my head hard with the quilt, hiding in the quilt and wailing, "Lin Xijia...... You're going to fall...... You're going to fall...... Woowoo...... Wow......"
"Is she crazy or stupid?" You Hui, who was wearing nail polish on the side, said curiously.
And I, just hiding under the quilt with a twisted face, my brow furrowed, can almost crush a fly! Damn it! How could I let him kiss again! How could he let him kiss again!
I closed my eyes in frustration, and if there was a hole in front of me, I would not hesitate to go down!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Lin Xijia...... Be my girlfriend...... You've kept me waiting for too long...... I...... Didn't want to wait any longer ......"
Warm kisses mixed with the smell of alcohol came at me without warning. It was silent, and I closed my eyes tightly and felt his kiss in a daze. Like the cool spring water of a summer night, little by little it spreads on my cold lips, dispelling all my consciousness! β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
I don't know why, my heart suddenly felt a little empty, like a certain belief that I held in the palm of my hand, and it collapsed in an instant.
Xu Liannan......
I'm useless, am I?
I...... I seem to have fallen in love with Tuyo City......
I closed my eyes and hid under the covers and wept quietly. I don't know how long it took for me to wake up, and when I woke up, I felt my face full of tears, I smiled bitterly, pursed my salty lips, and was about to get out of bed to wash my face, when I suddenly heard an eager cry from downstairs: "Lin Xijia!" Are you there? Oh no! Something happened to Tuyou City! β
