Chapter 20: I Love You
Bai Cang was stunned! His body was so stiff that he couldn't move!
At that moment, all the senses seemed to be infinitely magnified, and the glutinous and moist on the face was like a rose blooming in spring caressing the surface of the lake, leaving wrinkled ripples on the heart.
The Ferris wheel drew a streamline in the wind, and he looked stupidly at the sky outside the glass, the clouds were so white, the sun was very gentle, and even, he seemed to hear the sound of the wind coming from a distant place.
And, the most magnified is ...... His heartbeat was beating again and again, almost jumping out of his chest, making it impossible to breathe!
"What are you doing? Scareless?"
I don't know when, the drizzle on my face has disappeared, and suddenly there is a delicate smile.
Bai Cang came back to his senses suddenly, and in front of him was her flushed and shy face, and he suddenly blushed when he thought of what had just happened. He turned his face away in embarrassment and said unnaturally: "Well, you haven't said what your heart desires are. ”
"I've already said it. She would rather look at him with a smile, even though she felt that her heart was beating so fast and nervous, but she didn't want to let go of any opportunity to stare at him, especially his shy blushing appearance.
Bai Cang was stunned for a moment, but didn't react, "When did you say that?"
"That's it!" she pointed to her lips, her face flushed, and she turned her head to stare outside.
Only then did Bai Cang figure it out, it turned out that what she meant by her wish was ...... Kiss him?
Thinking of this, his face was also hot, and his heart was disobedient and beating wildly.
He didn't know what it was, it was subtle, a bit like being tickled, and he felt strange and hesitant at the same time.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, and he didn't seem to reject her initiative, but at the same time he couldn't accept it. Wandering at the critical point is the torment.
In the small Ferris wheel, they were silent with each other, each looking at the scenery outside in a daze. On the glass, each other's red cheeks could be seen, and the thumping heartbeat was clearly audible, and an ambiguous atmosphere spread.
Silence replaces all words.
After getting off the Ferris wheel, both of them were still a little embarrassed, their eyes touched and moved away, and they wanted to speak several times, but finally they couldn't really say it.
In the end, it was Bai Cang who broke the deadlock first, and he proposed, "Why don't you go to the merry-go-round?" girl...... I should like them all. ”
"Huh?" Ning was stunned for a moment, and then nodded stupidly, "Okay, okay!"
What he didn't know was that the merry-go-round had a deeper connotation!
It's not that girls like to ride the merry-go-round, but they like the romantic fairy tale behind it.
If you have him with you, that's not bad.
She also began to burn hope in her heart, just now on the Ferris wheel, he did not refuse her, maybe, in the future, she will get closer and closer to him!
The next relationship is indeed as she thought, Bai Cang did not refuse her closeness, the two have seen each other more and more, what should and should not be done between friends, they have all done it, what to watch movies, eat, and short trips, almost all of them are complete, and the distance from the lover is actually only that layer of paper.
Rather feel that the time is almost up, and if it drags on, she is afraid that he will become tired, so it is better to cut through the mess quickly!
On Saturday night, she asked him to come to her rented apartment for dinner.
The apartment is not big, single room, but it is very warm and exquisite by her, in her eyes, life should be like this.
And in order to welcome this day, she deliberately decorated the room again, bought flowers and red wine, and even put on the Victoria's Secret suit she bought before, if there is a chance...... She also shows the best side.
She is not a prosecutor now, but she still went to work in the court, and on this day she took a vacation, went to buy ingredients early and came back, and was busy from the morning, just for the final showdown with him in the evening.
She cooks Western food, steak and red wine, and lights candles, which is a romantic candlelight dinner.
To confess this kind of thing, the atmosphere is very important.
Knowing that the time was almost up, she took a shower, put on her newly bought little black dress, and waited for him at home.
Half past six.
The doorbell rang.
She was overjoyed and immediately bounced up from her chair, but when she reached the door, she was afraid that something was wrong with her, so she looked carefully in the mirror to make sure that there was no flaw, and then went to open the door.
The first thing that appeared at the door was a large jar of candy, and above it was the handsome face she missed day and night.
She smiled softly and in a low voice, "You're here." The tone, like that of a wife waiting for her husband's return, was relaxed and familiar.
"For you. He smiled and offered the candy.
"It's so pretty, thank you!" Ning happily hugged him and got out of the way, "Come, come in!"
This was Bai Cang's first time coming to her, and he had imagined the appearance of her room many times, but he didn't expect it to be such a lovely style.
Fluffy carpets, pink beds, white flowing gauze curtains, strings of candy paper stacks of paper cranes falling from them, and countless dolls of all sizes on the bay windows.
And the desk was clean and tidy, the shelves were full of books, all types, the walls were covered with cotton threads, and they were full of photographs, and he only glanced at them, and there were several of them in them, of course, they were all secretly taken.
"That's good. He pretended not to see the pictures and smiled and complimented.
Her face jumped with a faint joy, put the candy jar aside, and warmly beckoned him to take a seat, "Dinner is ready, just waiting for you!"
Bai Cang looked at the table and was slightly surprised, "Western food?"
"Occasionally, I want to change the taste!" she said with a smile, pouring out the sobered red wine, one glass per person, "and this red wine, which was also brought back from abroad by my classmates, is not bad." ”
Bai Cang's smile was dulled, and he nodded slowly, but the hand under the table began to curl up a little nervously.
Candlelit Dinner ......
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Just, is he ready?
"Here, try my craft. Rather than knowing what he was thinking, she greeted him warmly with hope.
He nodded mechanically, cut the meat, chewed, but it seemed that he couldn't taste it, and when she asked him how he was, he would only nod.
The candles kept burning, the firelight flickered, and the ticking sound made a slight beauty in the small apartment.
I would rather than lose most of the glass of red wine, and my face is more ruddy, red and fluttering, like a rose after the rain, bright and beautiful.
"That...... Bai Cang, I, I have something to say to you. ”
She was a little nervous and couldn't speak continuously.
Bai Cang's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, he didn't look up at her, and silently took a sip of wine, "Hmm." ”
"I ......." she seemed to be unable to open her mouth, hesitated for a moment, then drank a large glass of red wine, stood up with a swish, walked in front of Bai Cang, and said word by word: "I love you!
Bai Cang's hand trembled, and the red liquid overflowed onto the table.
She...... Sure enough, I really plan to explain it tonight.
"We've not known each other for a long time, but it's not a short time, and it's been several years since my freshman year. She stared at him and said in a hurry: "And we meet again after a few years, I believe this is our fate! After these days of getting along, I am more sure of my heart for you, so I hope for further development!"
At this, she looked at him longingly and expectantly, and her voice lowered, "Then, I want to know your answer too." ”
Bai Cang pursed his lips tightly, he didn't even raise his head, he didn't dare to look into her eyes, because he was ashamed.
He couldn't give her an answer, although he was happy with her all these times, but he didn't know if it was love, and he didn't know if he could leave the past behind and start over.
He is an extremely rational person, like a typical straight man in science, with precise calculations and stubborn standards. Before he decided that he hadn't forgotten Ning Ke, he couldn't accept a new relationship.
"White Firmament...... Tell me, your answer. She asked again, as a girl, it can be seen how much courage it takes to say these words.
Bai Cang gritted his teeth, and finally raised his head, he looked at her expectant eyes, and said unbearably: "Xiao Ke...... I think you're a very good friend, and you're happy to get along with, but ......" He couldn't speak, and didn't even dare to look directly at the dim light in her eyes, he turned his head and whispered, "I'm sorry......"
The room was silent, dead silent.
He knew she had heard his answer, but she didn't speak, just stared at him with eyes that almost pierced a hole.
The clock on the wall was ticking, and in his vision, the candle was also burning like tears.
He didn't know how long it took before he heard her trembling and crying voice.
"You mean, you only treat me as a friend, we do what a couple do, and you don't say no, and now you go and tell me that you only treat me as a friend?
Her questioning was forceful, like a slap in the face.
Oh, yes!
He obviously liked to be with her, she was like sunshine, always able to give him warmth and light, but he never thought that his actions would make her misunderstand and hurt her.
"Say!
His silence drew her rage, and she grabbed his clothes hysterically, screaming and questioning him, just for an answer.
"Xiaoke, calm down, it's not good for your health. Bai Cang grabbed her hand and tried to calm her down, but when she heard that sentence, she suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha! It's not good for your body? You don't think it's good for that heart! In your eyes, I'm just a substitute, even if you stay with me every day, you think about someone else!"
"Xiao Ke!"
"I can see it! I know your answer! Okay, I won't bother you anymore, I'll go far, and you can live in your past for the rest of your life!"
She yelled angrily and rushed straight out.
Bai Cang was afraid that something would happen to her, so he chased her out, but she ran fast and disappeared in a flash, he searched for her, but he didn't find her.
He suddenly began to be afraid, and a fear that had never been felt before was born in his heart.
Is she going to go too?
Did he lose her again?
