Chapter 56: The Ivory Tower (52)
On Sunday morning, Liu Jingjing saw on her mobile phone that her home had sent her fruit. After breakfast, Liu Jingjing came to the express center downstairs of the apartment. After finding the courier, Liu Jingjing saw that her parents had sent her a large box of fruits, and she had to move to the room on the sixth floor with great effort.
After returning to the room, Liu Jingjing opened the box and saw that it was full of grapes, strawberries, fresh peaches and apples, all wrapped in plastic wrap.
Liu Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that fortunately there was plastic wrap wrapped in plastic wrap, she didn't have a refrigerator here, and it would spoil in a few days in the hot summer. Looking at the box of fruits, Liu Jingjing suddenly had an idea in her heart, she wanted to send some to Xi Siyuan, and let others taste the taste of her hometown in the mountains.
Liu Jingjing didn't choose to go right away, because it was only half past seven at this time, and Xi Siyuan must still be asleep on a rare weekend. Then let's go again at noon, Liu Jingjing thought again in her heart.
At half past eleven in the morning, Liu Jingjing found a big bag, filled it with some grapes and strawberries, and filled the bag in less than a while.
Liu Jingjing carried a bag of fruit to the room where Xi Siyuan was on the fifth floor.
After three knocks on the door, Xi Siyuan's voice came from inside: "Which one?" ”
"It's me, Liu Jingjing."
"Here we are." Xi Siyuan's heart suddenly became cheerful at that moment.
Xi Siyuan opened the door and saw Liu Jingjing looking at him with a smile.
"Jingjing, it's you." Xi Siyuan's face was filled with joy.
Liu Jingjing lifted the bag: "Give it to you." The fruit that my parents sent me, you can also taste the taste of our hometown.
Xi Siyuan saw a big bag full of it: "Jingjing, there are so many, I can't eat it alone." I'll just take a little, and you can keep the rest for you." ”
"No, my parents sent me a big box, these are for you, hurry up."
Siyuan happily took the bag of fruit.
"Jingjing." Xi Siyuan suddenly spoke again, "If you don't come to me, I'll think I'll call you later." ”
"What's wrong? Can I help you? Liu Jingjing asked.
"Yesterday a friend of mine gave me a bottle of wine, and I thought about calling you to come to my place for dinner at noon, so we drank it together."
Liu Jingjing said with a smile: "You drank a bottle of wine yourself, and you still think about me." ”
Xi Siyuan looked at Liu Jingjing's smiling face, and then realized that she had been standing outside the door.
"Jingjing, you see I'm patronizing and talking, and I haven't invited you in yet." Xi Siyuan made a gesture of please, "Quick, please come in." ”
Liu Jingjing smiled slightly and walked in.
At the moment when Liu Jingjing walked through the door, Xi Siyuan suddenly thought that there were photos of Liu Jingjing on the walls and tables in his room.
Xi Siyuan immediately became nervous, thinking about stopping Liu Jingjing immediately, but found that it was too late, Liu Jingjing had already walked into the room.
Just when Liu Jingjing walked in less than three steps, she was suddenly startled, and saw a large photo with a beautiful photo frame hanging on the wall, and the person in the photo was none other than herself. This photo was taken by Liu Jingjing in the garden of the school, at the beginning of college, wearing a snow-white skirt and standing among the flowers.
Liu Jingjing didn't have any consciousness at that moment, and she didn't know what the feeling surging in her heart was. At the same time, she also saw that there were pictures of herself on the cabinets on either side of the bed.
Xi Siyuan stood at the door and felt extremely embarrassed, he couldn't wait to turn back time, he scolded himself in his heart with nervousness, how could he forget that there were photos of other people in the room, and after a while, if Liu Jingjing asked why he put other people's photos, how would he answer.
Liu Jingjing didn't look back at Xi Siyuan, and looked down at her crossed hands: "How can you have a photo of me?" ”
"Jingjing, I,, I'm ,,," Xi Siyuan really couldn't think of how to answer, and his nervous heart was like an ant on a hot pot.
Liu Jingjing felt like she was in the thorn bush at the moment, because there were photos of herself in every direction except for the back, and she was embarrassed or embarrassed in her heart at this time.
"Why are you putting my picture up?" As soon as the words came out, Liu Jingjing immediately felt that she wasn't asking knowingly!
"Because of me,,,,I ,,。" Xi Siyuan became incoherent, nervous and embarrassed had left only a blank in his mind, and he no longer had the consciousness of organizing language.
Liu Jingjing still lowered her head and slowly turned around: "That's it, Siyuan, I still have something to do in the afternoon, I'll go first." ”
After speaking, Liu Jingjing quickly walked to the door.
Xi Siyuan immediately stopped Liu Jingjing, and the nervousness was still written on his face.
"Jingjing, since you have seen it, I, I don't need to hide it, I want to tell you, I, I like you, I want you to be my girlfriend." Xi Siyuan felt that he was holding his breath to say it, and the moment he said it, it was as if a stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
Liu Jingjing still lowered her head, her face was all red: "Can you let me out first?" ”
At this time, Xi Siyuan immediately leaned his back against the door to block Liu Jingjing: "Jingjing, can you sit down first and let me finish speaking?" ”
"Okay? Jingjing. Siyuan said again.
Liu Jingjing had no choice but to turn around again and sit down on the chair in front of the table, still keeping her head down.
Si Siyuan calmed down for a few seconds, put the fruit still in his hand on the table, he moved a chair and placed it opposite Liu Jingjing, and then sat down slowly.
At this moment, Liu Jingjing inexplicably thought in her heart how good it would be if she was outside now, and she could choose to run away. However, the current scene is something that I have never encountered before, with photos of myself placed around, and Xi Siyuan, who has just confessed to himself, sits in front of him, what kind of situation is this, what kind of embarrassment is this.
Xi Siyuan silently encouraged himself in his heart, and restrained the nervousness that was still surging at this time.
"Jingjing." Siyuan spoke slowly.
Liu Jingjing's face was flushed, and she was still lowering her head.
"I said that just now, since you have seen it, you also know that I like you very much in my heart. Originally, I wanted to get acquainted with you for a while, and then find a suitable opportunity to confess to you. However, I didn't expect such a thing to happen today. Actually, I, I, I. ”
Liu Jingjing saw that Xi Siyuan couldn't speak, so she slowly raised her head: "Siyuan, to be honest, I was surprised and moved by seeing these photos just now. ”
Xi Siyuan heard Liu Jingjing say the word moved, and the tension in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the spring breeze of love seemed to be blowing on him.
"But, Siyuan." Liu Jingjing continued to speak. "I told you a few days ago, I really haven't thought about falling in love at the moment, and I'm not ready to have a relationship with anyone, I just want to work harder now to realize my long-held dream."
"Jingjing, I will definitely not delay you in pursuing your dreams." Xi Siyuan was a little anxious.
"Siyuan, I didn't mean that, I never denied your goodness in my heart, it's my reason, I don't want to fall in love now." After Liu Jingjing finished speaking, she lowered her head again.
"Jingjing, to tell you the truth, we haven't known each other for too long, and we haven't known each other too well. I'll admit, I did go after you a little early. It's just, I wonder if you're just because you don't like me at all, or if you don't want to be in a relationship as you said? ”
"Siyuan, don't you believe me? Liu Jingjing said.
Xi Siyuan hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, you misunderstood." ”
"Siyuan, I never said a lie, what I just said is indeed what I said in my heart, I really don't want to fall in love now, I feel that I am still far from my dream, and there are many things that need to be done. So, I hope you can understand my thoughts. ”
Xi Siyuan felt that his heart was in a great loss at this moment, and the surging tide seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and it was dark all around, and there was no hope in sight.
Liu Jingjing looked at Xi Siyuan's lost expression, and there was both embarrassment and another indescribable feeling in her heart. For Liu Jingjing, at present, what she is most afraid of is that someone will confess to her, especially someone who has been friends with her before this. Because, as long as the confession of love comes, Liu Jingjing will choose to refuse as always, but it is a very uncomfortable feeling to reject familiar people. Thinking of this, Liu Jingjing feels that this may be the terrible thing in love, if there is no liking for you, you and I are still friends, but once this distance is crossed, the future friendship will also be endlessly embarrassing.
"Jingjing, in that case, I just want to ask you one question now, you have to promise me to say whatever I think in my heart, okay?"
Liu Jingjing nodded: "You ask." ”
"If now that you have fulfilled your dream, and I am still by your side, will you promise me if I pursue you then?"
Liu Jingjing thought for a moment: "Siyuan, frankly speaking, I really don't know how to answer this question. Because what will happen in the future, I can't guess. So, I'm really hard to answer. ”
Xi Siyuan stood up and picked up the photo on the table: "Jingjing, do you know how much I like you now?" To tell you the truth, it's the first time I've pursued a girl, and it's the first time I've had the feeling of liking someone. If I had to say why I like it, I might not be able to say it specifically, but a person's heart is everything. After I got to know you, I often couldn't stop thinking about the scene when I was chatting with you, seeing you singing and smiling at me many times. I have written down everything that happened during this period. Ever since I found out that I liked you, I would think of you as soon as I close my eyes when I go to bed every night. But I didn't dare to confess to you, so I put all your pictures in the room, thinking that I could see you every day, as if you were always in front of my eyes. ”
After Liu Jingjing listened to Xi Siyuan's heartfelt feelings, she deeply realized how strong the love in Xi Siyuan's heart was.
Liu Jingjing didn't know how to answer, because Xi Siyuan's warmth at the moment was so soft that she really didn't want to break it. Liu Jingjing thought that at present, there are only two ways for her, one is to be silent and let the person with love say the emotions buried in her heart. The other is to continue refusing, but this is a cruel way, at least for now, it seems like a merciless storm about to devour the delicate flowers.
The room fell silent, and not a single sound could be heard. Xi Siyuan continued to look at the photo with him, as if he was silently pinning his affection for himself. And Liu Jingjing felt blank, and she didn't know what to do in this situation.
At this time, Xi Siyuan put down the photo in his hand, opened a bottle of foreign wine on the table, and took out two goblets from the drawer.
Liu Jingjing immediately said: "Siyuan, what are you going to do?" ”
"Let's drink this bottle."
Liu Jingjing hurriedly stopped Xi Siyuan: "I have a small amount of alcohol, forget it." ”
"Is it okay to have just a drink? Don't worry, the strength of the sake is very small. ”
Liu Jingjing was embarrassed to refuse again, so she had to agree.
Xi Siyuan picked up the wine and slowly poured it into the wine glass, and the moment he poured it, a sweet smell wafted away. Some people say that love is like a glass of mellow wine, even when you are not falling in love, you can feel the deep intoxication. For Xi Siyuan, the love he is looking forward to in his heart is only this short-term sweetness, which will disappear in a moment.
