Chapter Ninety-Four: Sharp to the Outside, Gentle to You

Lin Wanwan built a QQ group for the four of us, named Four King Kongs.

For this name, our protest is invalid ...

Below is the Four Diamonds chat page.

Lin Wanwan [Hu Lai and I have already converged, are you two sure you want to play hide and seek? 】

I, [Oh, why don't you two go together?] 】

Promise [I'll just accompany her.] 】

Hu Lai [Tsk, promise you won't find a pen until next year, right?] 】

I [Haha, no!] 】

Lin Wanwan [Two children, let's go buy a cup of milk tea first, it's too cold]

I think there are a lot of beautiful words in this world, false alarms, reunions after a long absence, lost and regained, and unexpected encounters.

In the surging crowd, if you can find someone at a glance, you must like it very much.

The colorful light of the square shone on me, and I put both hands in the pockets of my down jacket, and walked forward while looking at the promised figure.

The atmosphere of New Year's Eve in the square was very strong, several children were running happily with balloons, and a little girl with a ponytail and a hello kitty balloon suddenly ran up from behind me, and said in a milky voice while handing the balloon to me: "Sister, this is what my brother asked me to give you." ”

"Huh?" I looked left and right in confusion, thinking that I couldn't have recognized the wrong person, and the little girl just stuffed the balloon into my hand, then turned around and ran away.

I was stunned for a moment, looked up at the balloon, it was also very cute, so take it!

With the balloon in my hand, I looked like a three-year-old child and continued to bounce forward.

There is a marshmallow stall in the square, and the stall owner is a middle-aged aunt with a friendly smile, who is surrounded by a group of laughing and playful children.

"Auntie, I want that pink one!"

"Auntie, is green apple-flavored?"

"This one is mine! No robbery! ”

I stopped and looked at him for a while, and was gently amused by the cuteness and simplicity of those children, and if I had promised to be next to me at this time, I would have told him like a child that I wanted to eat marshmallows.

That's it, remembering the promise, I haven't found him yet, I must find him before he does!

With that in mind, I took the balloon and continued to bounce forward.

After walking for a while, I heard a sound of footsteps behind me, and at the same time, a chubby little boy with a marshmallow stood in front of me panting: "Sister, this is an older brother for you." ”

"Huh?" What's going on tonight?

I quickly looked around, but there was no one I knew.

"Sister, hurry up and take it!" The chubby little boy panted as he handed me the marshmallow in his hand.

I took the marshmallow with a confused face, pink, strawberry flavored!

I took a gentle bite, and the sweetness spread from the bottom of my heart, and before I could say thank you to the little boy, he ran away.

Wearing a white puffer jacket with a plush hat and a pink scarf with balls, I was holding a Hello Kitty balloon in my left hand and a strawberry-flavored marshmallow in my right hand, muttering in the crowd.

Promise, where the hell are you hiding...

I was talking to myself and walked to a less crowded place next to the square.

I was about to find a place to sit for a while, when I was suddenly stopped by two boys who came out of nowhere: "Sister, come out for New Year's Eve alone?" ”

I looked up at the two men in front of me, their hair was messy, they were wearing thin leather jackets and blue jeans with gold chains hanging down to be cool.

This is completely non-mainstream dress, looking at their appearance, they are almost eighteen or nineteen years old, I don't know if they haven't gone to school or are studying in the surrounding technical schools.

"I'm looking for my friend." Seeing their ill-intentioned expressions, I didn't want to talk to them too much, so I wanted to leave after a perfunctory word, but was stopped by one of them, a slightly taller, yellow-haired boy.

He touched his chin with one hand, and his lewd gaze stayed on me: "Otherwise, let's accompany you, don't go to your friends." ”

"No, you don't." I said coldly, and then tried to bypass him, but the yellow-haired boy stepped forward to me and tried to take my hand, but I dodged him.

The smile on his face was a little playful: "I think you just don't have friends, right?" Don't lie to us. ”

I looked at them and was afraid that they wouldn't let me go easily, and I couldn't help but be a little scared, and I kept silently reciting the promised name in my heart, praying that he would appear soon.

The two boys approached me step by step, and I clutched the satchel that I was carrying cross-body with both hands, thinking about what to do.

I'm starting to regret how I ended up in this corner, when most of the people gathered in the square so that they didn't notice it.

The yellow-haired boy was reaching out to touch my face, my brain reacted quickly, took a step back, didn't notice the gravel behind me, and fell backwards, just when I thought I was going to fall a dog and eat, a familiar arm behind me caught me steadily.

At the same time, the person behind him reached out and folded the yellow-haired boy's hand, which was still in mid-air, back forcefully.

"Ahh The yellow-haired boy withdrew his hand in pain.

That familiar voice rang out behind me: "Get out." ”

The voice was majestic and cold, and the two boys were so frightened that they ran away.

I turned around, promised to wear a long black down jacket, standing in front of me, he touched my head, it was completely different from just now, and his voice was gentle and doting: "Scared, right?" Fool, I've been behind you, why haven't you ever looked back. ”

At that moment, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and finally understood that the balloon and the marshmallow were promised to me, and it turned out that he had found me in the first place, and then he had been silently following me.

Every time, I just looked left and right, but I forgot to look back, and the person I had been trying to find was actually behind you.

I looked at the smile in Xu Promise's eyes, and suddenly had a sour nose, in addition to being frightened just now, more moved, and grateful, I sniffed, and the tears in my eyes fell down little by little.

Seeing me crying, Xu Yu was a little panicked, and hurriedly reached out to wipe my tears: "Were you scared just now?" I'm sorry, but if you don't like it, we won't play this game in the future, okay? ”

I don't know why, the more gentle the promise was, the more I couldn't stop the tears in my eyes, I shook my head vigorously, I wanted to say that I liked it, but I found that my throat was choked, and I couldn't say a word.

"Okay, don't cry?" Promise, who was a head taller than me, bent down and stood in front of me, holding my face in both hands, wiping my tears from my eyes, and his voice was gentle, never before.

The more I made the promise, the more I wanted to cry, and I cried all at once, regardless of whether there was anyone around me.

Xu was even more at a loss now, and he kept coaxing me: "Why are you crying more and more?" Why don't you scold me? ”

I sniffled and sniffed, and then I heard Promise say, "I should have put a mirror in front of you, you don't know how much you cry..." ”

I laughed at the promise and wiped my tears with the back of my hand.

Promise looked at me: "Okay, don't cry." ”

I nodded, and then my voice was still a little choked: "I mean to say, it's good to promise you." ”

The corners of his mouth were raised, and a bright smile appeared, and his voice passed through the bustling crowd of the square before falling into my ears.

"Because you're worth it."
