Chapter 35: The Confession Succeeds
"I want to be by your side, protect you, and shelter you from the wind and rain." Jiang Jinrui's eyes looked at her affectionately.
Dressed in a beige sweater, dark blue jeans, and white sneakers, he looked clean and fresh, as if he was back in the old days when he rode her through the school's green alley.
Zhong Yahan looked back at him intently, tears flowing, but he was silent.
He slowly approached her, looking directly at her innocent face, and said in a low voice.
"Actually, I've liked you for six years, I always felt unworthy of you before, so my inferiority made me dare not start a relationship with you, that year when Zhang Tianyi told me in Qinghu that he wanted to chase you, although I was unwilling, but I still cowardly chose to give in. I've always missed you during my years in the UK, and I regret that I didn't tell you my heart sooner, and if I had been braver at the time, maybe we wouldn't have missed out on so many years. ”
He walked up to her, stood still and looked at her with burning eyes, and said to her sincerely: "So this time I don't want to make my previous regrets repeat the mistakes of the past because Xie Yingyao likes me, give me a chance to make up for the past, okay?" ”
This time, her emotions finally collapsed, and she threw herself directly into his arms, hugged him tightly, and said in a choked voice: "I promise you." ”
Jiang Jinrui received her affirmative answer, raised the corners of his mouth, showed a relieved smile, and stretched out his hand to hug her back.
The two sat quietly on the audience platform of the school's open-air basketball court, watching the students play basketball.
Jiang Jinrui had no intention of watching the game, and kept smirking, staring intently at Zhong Yahan who was sitting next door.
She has thin air bangs, long straight black hair tied into a high ponytail, revealing a delicate and fair face, big clear eyes under long eyelashes, and ruddy little lips, which makes people visually have a pleasing little freshness, as beautiful as the warm sun in March.
Zhong Yahan felt the enthusiastic gaze from next door, covered her face with her hands shyly, lowered her head and whispered, "Have you seen enough, don't look at it." ”
"I just want to keep looking at you, I can't get enough of it." Jiang Jinrui smiled cheekily and reached out to take away her hands that were blocking her face.
Zhong Yahan had goosebumps all over her body, shivered, and muttered: "A man with a flamboyant tongue." ”
"Can't I flamm my girlfriend?"
Zhong Yahan couldn't get used to his jokes, so she turned her head and glanced at him.
Jiang Jinrui stopped joking, took out the confession necklace he had prepared from his trouser pocket and handed it to her.
"This is a necklace I designed myself, a confessional gift for you."
Zhong Yahan took the delicate and beautiful platinum necklace, stared at the glittering basketball pendant and studied it for a while, and asked a little puzzled: "Why is the pendant in the shape of a basketball?" ”
"Do you remember what you said to me on the basketball court the day after we finished our first elective? Because of that sentence, you have lived in the bottom of my heart ever since. ”
Zhong Yahan thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized, and then showed an embarrassed look on her face, and said guiltily: "At that time, I was forced to say it helplessly, oops, I didn't expect you to take it seriously." ”
"I don't care, I'll take it seriously anyway." Jiang Jinrui said a little arrogantly.
Zhong Yahan's mind came up with the classic fragments of that time.
In the early autumn of my freshman year, the weather was a little hot, and the sun at noon was a little fierce, making people tired and lazy.
Zhong Yahan, Yin Huiyun and Lu Xiaoxuan finished lunch from the cafeteria and walked back to the dormitory, the three of them walked listlessly.
Lu Xiaoxuan couldn't stand such a boring moment, she proposed to play games while walking to refresh herself, and said that those who lost should be punished.
Zhong Yahan and Yin Huiyun didn't want to walk boringly like this, after all, there was still a long way to go back to the dormitory, so they happily accepted Lu Xiaoxuan's proposal.
So the three of them played number solitaire while walking, and just as they walked near the school's ATM area, Yin Huiyun lost.
Lu Xiaoxuan looked at Liu Minfeng, who was waiting in line to withdraw money, pointed at him, and ordered Yin Huiyun with a wicked smile: "You just go over and tell him loudly that you are Yin Huiyun from the second class of advertising design, and then ask him what the balance in the bank card is by the way." ”
At that time, there was a long queue in the ATM area, and there were many students waiting in line to withdraw money, if you rashly asked such a question, it would definitely cause an uproar, and Yin Huiyun would become a legend in the school at that time.
"Huh? Isn't that right? Zhong Yahan exclaimed, feeling that this punishment was too exciting.
"It's going to scare people, isn't it?" Yin Huiyun also hesitated and did not dare to move forward.
"Go quickly, I'm willing to lose the bet, not to mention that the male classmate is quite handsome, maybe there will be a story in the future, hahaha." Lu Xiaoxuan urged without refusing.
Yin Huiyun was forced by Lu Xiaoxuan to have no choice, so she had to step forward.
She walked up to Liu Minfeng, patted him on the back, and said nervously: "Hello classmate, I am Yin Huiyun from the second class of advertising design, I want to ask you a question." ”
Liu Minfeng turned his head, looked at Yin Huiyun and asked suspiciously, "What's the problem?" ”
Yin Huiyun raised her voice a little embarrassed and said, "What is the balance in your bank card?" ”
This sentence caused the surprise of everyone waiting in line to withdraw money, and they watched the show.
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Liu Minfeng to answer, and hurriedly pulled Zhong Yahan and Lu Xiaoxuan away from her.
Only Liu Minfeng was left standing in place with a confused expression, he stared blankly at the departing figure of Yin Huiyun, who had a cold beauty temperament, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.
There was a kind of love at first sight in his heart.
The three girls ran for a while and stopped, remembering the punishment they had just received, and laughed excitedly.
Yin Huiyun is now fearless, and offers to continue playing.
When the three of them walked near the basketball court, it was Zhong Yahan's turn to lose this time.
The basketball court was bustling, and a group of boys were playing basketball fiercely.
Yin Huiyun suddenly had an idea, pointed to Jiang Jinrui, who was playing with a group of boys on the basketball court, and said to Zhong Yahan: "You walked over and said to that boy affectionately and loudly: You look so good when you play seriously." ”
"Hahaha, I can play, I can play." Lu Xiaoxuan suddenly nodded in agreement.
Zhong Yahan raised his eyes and saw Jiang Jinrui playing on the basketball court.
I found out that he was the boy who had introduced himself in an elective class the day before and had a warm smile.
She stopped timidly, did not dare to move forward, and ignored the urging of Lu Xiaoxuan and Yin Huiyun.
Lu Xiaoxuan directly pushed her over, such behavior attracted the attention of all the boys on the basketball court, and under Lu Xiaoxuan's strong instigation, she mustered up the courage to be cheeky, stood on the edge of the basketball court, beckoned to Jiang Jinrui, and called him over.
Jiang Jinrui soon discovered her call and ran to her flattered.
He was somewhat surprised to find that she was the outstanding freshman representative who gave a speech on stage at the opening ceremony.
The girl who made him feel unreachable actually stood in front of him and called him at this moment.
She bowed her head slightly, and said to him shyly: "You look so good when you play seriously." ”
After saying that, her heart was pounding, and she shyly ran back to Yin Huiyun and Lu Xiaoxuan, and then pulled away the two who were laughing at her.
Only Jiang Jinrui was left standing in place, he showed a shocked and secretly happy expression, his mood was ridiculed by a group of male classmates playing basketball, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Her words were deeply engraved into his heart, and the heart-warming feeling spread for six years.
Since then, Liu Minfeng has pursued Yin Huiyun, creating a six-year love run that they have walked together from campus to society.
And Jiang Jinrui also deliberately sat behind Zhong Yahan in the second elective class, and invited her to write down her impressions of herself in the classroom interaction arranged by the teacher.
Because of this game, the great friendship of several people has since begun.
Zhong Yahan pulled back from the thoughts of memories and felt a little magical.
"Xiaoxuan has the potential to be a matchmaker, and a game she proposed contributed to two pairs."
"Another day, Min Feng and I are going to give her a cup of tea, thank her for letting us harvest the goddess, hahaha" Jiang Jinrui joked and said excitedly.
"Hahaha, help her buy a direct ticket from France to Nancheng, and call her back to Nancheng to drink your cup of tea." Zhong Yahan took Jiang Jinrui's words and continued to joke.
"Hahaha, it's a must, buy it now."
"Hahaha, he is now a senior pastry chef, and he needs to make an appointment for the schedule."
In the laughter of the two, Jiang Jinrui picked up the platinum necklace in Zhong Yahan's hand, got up and stood behind Zhong Yahan, and intimately put it on her neck.
Zhong Yahan looked at the confession gift around her neck and smiled happily.
The two walked around the school for an afternoon, and after having dinner in the cafeteria, Jiang Jinrui sent Zhong Yahan back to the apartment.
Downstairs in the apartment, Jiang Jinrui followed Zhong Yahan out of the car, and the two stood reluctantly looking at each other.
"Thank you today, I'm very happy." Zhong Yahan looked happy, and said with a shy bow.
"As long as you're happy, I'm satisfied." Jiang Jinrui smiled dotingly at her.
The two looked at each other and didn't say goodbye for a long time.
After staying for a while, Zhong Yahan hesitated and said, "It's still early, why don't we go for a walk again?" ”
"Okay, let's go." Jiang Jinrui immediately agreed without thinking.
The two went for a walk in the small park near the apartment.
Tonight's night is very beautiful, a full moon hangs high in the night sky, and the bright moonlight spills onto the earth, blending with the warm light of the street lamp, elongating the handsome figures of the two.
The stars shimmer brightly in the night sky, the cold wind sways the branches, and under the action of the light, the shadows of the trees in the darkness seem to be spirits dancing in the wind.
Jiang Jinrui and Zhong Yahan walked side by side on the stone path.
"Yaoyao, what should we say?" Zhong Yahan asked with some concern.
"Find a suitable opportunity, and we will convince her together that she will understand us."
"What if I don't understand?"
"No, trust me." Jiang Jinrui said with certainty.
The two walked and walked, and the hands that the two touched from time to time made Jiang Jinrui nowhere to put them, and he almost wanted to secretly hold Zhong Yahan's hand.
Zhong Yahan didn't notice it, and always unconsciously threw her hand away.
Just when Jiang Jinrui was about to hold her hand, Zhong Yahan nervously grabbed his wrist and ran to hide in the dark of the bushes.
After Jiang Jinrui stood still, he looked up a little confused, and found that Xie Yingyao was walking along the stone path.
