Chapter 19: A Moonlit Night
Chapter 19: A Moonlit Night
The dark sky is upside down, the bright moonlight is like a layer of silver-white coat, quietly spread on this land, the street where the two are located, meandering between several civilian residential buildings, at the end of the road intersection connected by each other, from time to time there are car shadows speeding by, the street lamps next to him flickering and exuding a faint yellow light, in the short moment of darkness, the silver moonlight infects over, and after returning to normal, the dim light dominates the street again.
It was already late at night in the wee hours of the morning, and Li Erya could clearly feel that the temperature around her body was continuing to decrease, and the two embraced each other silently, neither of them took the initiative to break this delicate balance.
Jessica's choked words made Li Erya's originally ancient heart ripple like a stone had fallen, her body was very cold, but there were warm currents flowing through her heart.
He can clearly feel the girl's attachment and dependence on him, just like 2 years ago, there is no change, if he was still hesitant to wait and see the girl's feelings for himself, then at this moment he can be very sure that the relationship between the two has not changed because of the vacuum period of 2 years.
After a while, the warm wetness in his chest became cold under the erosion of the cold air, slightly stimulating Li Erya's chest and making Li Erya completely come back to her senses.
He hesitated, but he had failed Jessica's intentions, his thoughts were chaotic, and Lierya kept organizing the language in his head, because he needed to give Jessica an answer, and he also needed to ask himself what his feelings for Jessica were now.
The street is very quiet, Jing can clearly hear the sound of the evening breeze whistling, Jing Jessica can clearly hear Li Erya's heartbeat, the drop in the surrounding temperature has not affected Jessica, wearing Li Erya's coat, plus leaning on Li Erya's arms, making her body very warm.
But her heart became colder and colder as time passed, as if she had fallen into an ice cave, she had been waiting for Li Erya's reply, but Li Erya had been hesitating since just now, Li Erya's silence made Jessica's heart appear a lot of thoughts, and a touch of sorrow came to her heart.
Jessica wanted to turn around and run, run to a place where no one was and cry fiercely, she was already like this, but she still didn't get back a positive answer from Li Erya, but her legs were like being filled with lead, and she couldn't lift them heavily, she was reluctant to do this after all.
Or is it that she still has a little hope in her heart?
After hesitating for a long time, it was finally Liraya who spoke, the two of them couldn't just stand here all the time, he needed to give Jessica an answer, and he also needed to give himself an answer.
In Jessica's bewildered eyes, Li Erya grabbed her shoulders and gently pushed her away from her arms, and then looked at her in a daze, her delicate face was covered with pear blossoms, her eyes had become very red and swollen, and she didn't know how many tears she had shed just now.
There was a convulsive pain in her heart, Li Erya's eyes were full of scars, and she slowly wiped the undried tears on the girl's face with her hands, "How good it would be if this sentence could be said 2 years earlier, just like the letter I didn't send at the beginning, how good it would be if it could be delivered to you earlier, how much I want time to go back, so that there are not so many twists and turns between us, but unfortunately there is no regret medicine in this world to buy"
As she spoke, Lier reached out and took one of Jessica's hands and put it on her chest, and continued, "Sika, can you feel it?" This place will still beat violently because of your words, just a moment ago I was wondering if my feelings for you are still the same as before, but after listening to you say that sentence yourself, I can be sure that my feelings for you have not changed, I was just lying to myself before"
"But there is also a scar that still hasn't healed, even after more than 2 years, it still can't heal, and I still can't convince myself" Speaking of this, Li'er Ya let go of Jessica's hand, let her hand fall naturally, and took a step back, widening a little distance from Jessica.
Listening to Li Erya's words, Jessica's mood became more and more depressed, and in the end, she was even depressed and couldn't breathe, out of Li Erya's embrace, the sudden drop in temperature instantly enveloped her, and the coat on her body seemed extremely heavy, and the surrounding darkness also materialized and oppressed her.
Is this a final goodbye?
Watching Li Erya open the distance between herself and herself, Jessica was like a person waiting for the final verdict, ready to wait for Li Erya to say the last sentence, her brain seemed to have lost control, and her whole body was numb and stunned in place, as if even crying out was a luxury.
But Li Erya's next words made her feel exactly what it means to be in her mood.
Li Erya restrained the sadness on her face and showed a faint smile, "Although this scar is very deep, I think maybe time can heal it, if we can, how about we start as friends again?" ”
Saying that, Li Erya stretched out her right hand and said, "Hello, my name is Li Erya, please take care of me"
However, before Leanya could react, Jessica jumped into his arms again, grabbed his clothes tightly, and muttered "You guy, you guy" in a half-choked and half-excited tone, she had already pronounced her death sentence in her heart, and as a result, Lianya played a peak loop for her.
Tears once again couldn't stop slipping, but this time it was a tear called happiness and joy, and Lierya's answer was equivalent to giving Jessica an answer invisibly, and there was something that didn't need to be said too clearly.
This time, Li Erya no longer stood in place as before, but slowly raised her hand to hug Jessica, lowered her head to her ear and whispered, "Zheng Xiuyan, in fact, I also have a word...... I haven't had a chance to say it to you...... I love you too, I really love you."
The silent atmosphere lingered in this dark and quiet street again, hugged each other for a few minutes before the two slowly separated, raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face with her sleeve, Jessica snorted, with a shallow smile on her face and beat Li Erya's chest, learning from Li Erya's movements before, stretched out her right hand and said lightly, "Hello, my name is Zheng Xiuyan, and my English name is Jessica, but you are very close to my eyes, you can consider letting you call me Xiuyan or Sika"
The girl changed her cowardly and cautious appearance before, and became so naughty, the speed of this change made Li Erya a little dumbfounded, and she could only stand in place and hold her forehead helplessly and smile bitterly.
A faint laugh diluted the desertion of the street, and even the originally dim street lamps seemed to become brighter, and she looked up at the starry sky at night, Jessica walked slowly to Learya's side, "In this case, we are friends now?" ”
"Hmm" nodded and Li Erya responded softly, and couldn't help but smile, "Tomorrow I will go to negotiate with an economic company, choose to sign a contract with an economic company and make my debut, you have finally survived and are on the rise, so it is good for all of us, each of us will focus on their own careers first, and I will pick up the dreams that I once abandoned"
"Besides, I don't want to have countless anti fans before I debut," shrugged her shoulders and said innocently.
"Cut, coward" pursed her lips and smiled, Jessica looked down and muttered a whisper, then looked up again, "Since we're all friends, I guess you wouldn't mind treating me to a late-night snack, right?" ”
"What do you want to eat?"
"How's it going?" Speaking of which, Jessica glanced at him secretly and didn't notice any discoloration on his face, this is not something that should be eaten between friends.
Eating bibimbap in Korea is a symbol of love, if the couple goes to eat together, the man must help the woman mix the rice, if the woman can't finish it, the man eats the rest of the meal, showing his love for his girlfriend, a very old tradition, but most modern people don't pay so much attention to it, so Jessica tried a small edge ball.
"Bibimbap? Then let's go" Li Erya readily agreed, he didn't know some ambiguous information mixed in, but if the girl didn't break it, he would pretend to be stupid, not to mention that in such a cold weather, eating bibimbap was indeed a good choice.
"Then let's go" Biting her lower lip, Jessica tried her best to restrain herself from showing too happy an expression on her face, letting Li Erya lead the way in front, following closely behind him, silently speeding up her pace, walking side by side with Li Erya, and then pretending to inadvertently reach out and hold Li Erya's hand, feeling the temperature from his palm.
Came to the hotel, the hotel is not big, but the layout is very warm, it is early in the morning, there are not many guests, the two found a more corner of the location, the comfortable heating blows the cold air on the two people.
Li Erya ordered a stone pot bibimbap with the waiter, and after the waiter brought the ingredients, she began to skillfully prepare bibimbap for Jessica.
Looking at Li Erya's skillful movements, Jessica couldn't help but puff up her face slightly and asked, "Oppa movements are so skillful, have you eaten with other girls before?" ”
"No, this is the first time I've come to eat bibimbap, but I used to take care of my sister next door at home, and I cooked a few times, and the process was about the same."
"Oh" Sticking out the tip of her tongue, Jessica smiled embarrassedly, sure enough, she was too sensitive.
After a few moments the meal was ready, Liarya pushed the stone pot in front of Jessica, and looked at her with her hands propped up on the table.
"Eat, don't you say you're hungry?"
"Hmm" nodded, Jessica took out the spoon and began to eat in small bites, she was indeed a little hungry, the picture was very warm, just like the couples in ordinary people's homes, who have been together for many years.
However, this bibimbap was still too much for Jessica, and she couldn't eat it after eating only 1/3 of it, so she put down the spoon with some hesitation and pushed the bibimbap back in front of Li Erya, Jessica lowered her head and peeked at Li Erya.
Looking at the bibimbap that was pushed over, Li Erya didn't hesitate to pick up the spoon and start eating, without so many worries, Li Erya's behavior made Jessica very happy, and looked at him with one hand on her cheeks.
After finally finishing the bibimbap, Lierya raised her head to meet Jessica's gaze.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Huh? Why am I thinking about things" Jessica's face flushed, pretending to be very natural, "Don't be so self-conscious, it's not like you haven't seen it"
"......" was speechless for a moment, and Li Erya smiled bitterly in a low voice, not to dwell on this issue with Jessica, but to get up and check out and leave the hotel.
This is not far from the group dormitory of Girls' Generation, and the two walked out of the hotel and came directly to the community where the dormitory was located, and at a corner not far from the community, Jessica suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Erya.
"oppa, in fact, in addition to gloves, I also prepared a gift for you, I originally wanted to give it to you, but I never had a chance, let me make it up now, by the way, as a congratulatory gift for your champion"
"What gift?" Li Erya asked curiously.
"Guess, hee-hee," Jessica said with a mysterious smile, "close your eyes, gifts must be mysterious."
Again, Li Erya shook her head helplessly and closed her eyes.
Li Erya only felt a hot breath spurting on his face, and before he could open his eyes, there was a faint warm feeling on his lips, which was fleeting and did not give him much time to feel, and when he opened his eyes, Jessica had already turned around and walked a few steps with her back to him.
Continuing to bounce forward a few steps, the dazzling neon lights in the distance became the background, Jessica suddenly turned around and said with a smile under the light, "Oppa, thank you for this meal, it's delicious, I'll go first, bye-bye"
"Bye-bye" Li Erya waved her hand, and then stood under the street lamp in a daze, reaching out and touching her lips, as if she was reminiscing about the fleeting touch just now.
