Chapter 9: The Light of the Jade Pot (7)
Xie Liuying: "Don't worry, wait. She finished setting the table and came back to me.
By the light, I could see that she stood out against a black background, like a delicate Renaissance figure painting. This dreamlike scene makes me a little skeptical about the reality of this half-year life. Half a year ago, I was a high school student, and now I'm a professional player. The girl who spoke to me more than ten sentences half a year ago could count them on one hand. Now counting Leng Zi and Song Yi, this number has surged by as much as three in just half a year.
Xie Liuying: "Why are you in a daze, go sit next to the table, eat something, the main master is coming." ”
Me: "You say this like a black word in martial arts, and what kind of 'master', and drive a small boat to the middle of the river at night, as if you want to wait for someone to do something unseemly." ”
Xie Liuying opened a box, frowned, covered her nose and said, "What are you buying here?" ”
Me: "Deep-fried stinky tofu, didn't you say you could buy some snacks and bring them over?" ”
She gave a thumbs up and mocked, "You really can, I don't even know what to say......
I didn't understand why she was suddenly angry, but suddenly I saw a light coming from the bend in the river. I don't know if Xie Liuying asked me to drive the boat to this position, if I was waiting for this. Could it be that there are other ships passing by in such a remote place?
Xie Liuying seemed to have expected it, she looked at the bright light at the river, then at me, and finally at the box of stinky tofu, her expression was very complicated.
At this time, the light in the river became brighter and brighter, and the nearby river surface gradually became clearer. Half a moment later, countless lotus-shaped river lanterns floated down the bend of the river along the current, and for a moment, the quiet river seemed to be ignited by flames, and the entire river was as bright as day.
The river lanterns drifted closer and closer, and soon surrounded our boat. In this romantic atmosphere, it is mixed with a strange smell of stinky tofu......
I've never seen anything like this before, and for a moment I was a little speechless: "Wow, this is ...... It's kind of amazing. ”
Xie Liuying clasped her hands to her chest and looked at me with an angry smile, I was a little unsure whether she wanted to come up and kiss me or push me into the river. That's when I realized that eyes can speak, and it's not an exaggeration.
I realized that she must have been planning for a long time about today, and I can even say that she may have been thinking about it since I told her that I had decided to come to Y City. Many real-life cases and the plots in the story are planned by boys for a long time to prepare a surprise for girls on a special day.
After meeting Xie Liuying, I also thought about this aspect, but firstly, I felt that I should still focus on my career at this stage, and secondly, I really lacked talent, and I always felt that a girl like Xie Liuying, who had seen the wind and waves, would not be moved by some boring little ideas.
Unexpectedly, on this day known as the ancient Valentine's Day, she actually received the surprise she prepared first. However, the good vibe was ruined a lot by this box of stinky tofu that I bought by accident.
I should have said both the words "thank you" and "sorry" at the time, but I don't remember which one to say first.
Then I quickly closed the box of stinky tofu again, and the bag was tightly tied, and if I hadn't been aiming to be a young man, I would have just thrown it into the river.
Xie Liuying: "Is it good-looking?" ”
Me: "It's good-looking, I feel like you're playful, and I'm a wood in comparison." ”
Xie Liuying: "Actually, it's nothing, just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." Today's holiday, everyone goes to popular spots to see lanterns, and the upper reaches of this river happen to be a popular attraction. Every year at seven o'clock on the night of the Lantern Festival, a large group of good men and women will release river lanterns on time. However, not only does that place charge tickets, but there must also be a lot of people, which is very striking. ”
Me: "Oh, so we're waiting in the cold place downstream for their lights to float over, and we can get the best view." ”
Xie Liuying: "Yes, any scenery, there are more people, it is boring, like this, two people, one boat, how good." ”
I stepped forward and tried to do something I had always wanted to do, but had never dared to do. My hands trembled deep and my heart pounded with nervousness. The moment my hand touched Xie Liuying's shoulder, I distinctly felt her tremble as well.
Xie Liuying: "What are you doing?" ”
She was knowingly asking, what do you say I am going to do in this situation?
Xie Liuying didn't press me on the table, but took a step back: "It's good that you understand what I mean, but you said it before, now is not the time." ”
Her words made me come back to some senses, and I rolled my eyes: "You're too much, it's not responsible to be sultry." ”
Xie Liuying: "Hmph, so what? You also bought stinky tofu, and everyone evened out. ”
We joke with each other lightly, but I'm sure we know each other very well at the moment - this is one of the differences between a career and a hobby, a career requires sacrifice, and a hobby does not.
We sat in the cabin, eating, and looking at the river lights. The night is getting darker and the weather is getting colder, but fortunately we brought a small stove in advance.
Xie Liuying: "Seriously, you won't blame me. ”
Me: "No, I know everything." ”
Xie Liuying pursed her lips and smiled: "What do you know, have you ever been in love?" ”
Me: "No, but the grades of my classmates who fell in love in middle school plummeted. My buddy has talked about it many times, and he told me that love is the same thing as a game, it doesn't take up much time in itself, but it can be addictive and addictive, and it takes up too much attention and energy, so that you can't think about it day and night, and you don't have time to think about anything else. ”
Xie Liuying: "He's half right." ”
I took the opportunity to ask a question that I had always wanted to ask but didn't have a chance to ask: "You know so well, you have talked about it?" ”
A girl like Xie Liuying, in fact, it is easy to think that she will be a star-studded existence in any environment. And as long as she wants to, few guys will give up the opportunity to be with her. Although I can't completely ignore whether she has been in a relationship before, but think about it rationally, unlike me, she is very unlikely to be inexperienced in her sultry methods.
Xie Liuying: "Guess what. ”
It seems that I can't ask anything useful today, so in order to avoid being bored, I had to change the topic: "You just said that Yuntian was only half right, so what about the other half?" ”
Xie Liuying: "In addition to thinking about it day and night, there is also a feeling called suffering from gains and losses, fear of loss, fear of giving and returning not proportional. Because the expectations of the other party before falling in love are too high, after being too close, they find that the other party is actually not so good, so there will be some contradictions. Anger, sadness, joy, worry, and longing are strong emotions that limit what a person can do in other ways. ”
Me: "I know, so a good pro shouldn't do anything like that that that would affect his performance, let alone with his teammates. ”
Xie Liuying: "Well, it's good if you understand. Since you have chosen this path, and I have chosen to walk this path with you, it is not difficult to wait so much. ”
