Chapter 11: My First Date
I ran to the opposite street park, which is a long and narrow park built along the river, and from there, I can see the largest and longest river in Gangnam City, Wangjiang.
There is also a beautiful legend about this Wangjiang.
According to legend, there was a couple in ancient times who were separated by their parents. One is at one end of the river, and the other is at the other end of the river, and they can only look at each other across the bank every day. One day, the girl was not paying attention and fell into the river, and the boy also jumped in to save the beloved woman. However, in the end, they were buried together by the river. However, it was not long before a tree grew by the river, and it had two branches, but the upper ends were intertwined, and a yellow and white flower grew. People call this tree the "husband and wife tree". Every year, many young men and women come here to make wishes to the tree, hoping that they will never be separated from each other.
I stood by the river, looking around.
Soon, I saw the legendary tree. It stood tall in front of it.
Suddenly, I saw a man standing under the tree, looking up at the tree. However, her feet were already standing by the fence on the bank of the river, and a little further out, it was the surging Wangjiang.
Oh my God, she, isn't she Yuting?
That's right, that woman is Yuting.
"Yuting!" I couldn't help but scream.
Unexpectedly, Yuting was shocked when she heard the voice, and the soles of her feet slipped and fell into the river. Then she cried out, "Help, help!" β
I was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and jumped into the river.
My water quality is not bad, and the river on the shore is not deep, so soon, I rescued Yuting.
The two of us were sitting on the shore, all wet.
Yuting sneezed, and I hurriedly wrapped my arms around her.
"You saved me?" Only then did she see who was saving her, "Thank you." β
"Yuting, you, why can't you think about it?"
"Nope." Yuting said, "I was just standing under that tree, and when I heard you scream just now, I was startled, and I slipped down there without paying attention." You, how do you think I'm going to be unable to think about it? β
"Huh?" This time, it was my turn to be embarrassed.
After doing it for a long time, Yuting didn't want to jump into the river to commit suicide, but was called by me, so she fell into the river? This script doesn't seem to be quite the same as I originally thought, huh?
"Don't you care." Yuting actually smiled, "However, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have drowned a long time ago." β
I don't know what to say anymore.
"Let's go." Yuting recovered quickly, "Your clothes are all wet, let's change them quickly." β
"Okay." I staggered to my feet, not knowing what to do next.
In the story of the hero saving the beauty, the beauties are not all moved to lean on the hero's shoulder, and then Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
But now I'm like a papaya.
And just like that, we were separated, and nothing happened.
I took a taxi and got home, but my mind was empty.
Could it be that this is the end of the story?
Suddenly, it seemed as if something wasn't quite right.
Yuting was standing under the tree just now, she really didn't want to commit suicide? But why is she standing in such a dangerous place? Also, why doesn't she have any extra words other than thank you? Doesn't that look like she's used to? Even if my life-saving grace is not worthy of thanks, she won't leave after she finishes it?
Could it be that she, she still wants to kill herself? I was just scared of me, didn't I commit suicide? And then, she, will she go home again and kill herself?
The thought of this made my head explode.
I'm still not sure, though. So, I decided to make a call to Yuting first.
The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.
It's over, I really shouldn't have come back just now, I should have continued to follow her, even if it was sneaking around. Yuting her, will she not be able to think about it, she has committed suicide?
At this moment, Yuting's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey, is it Ning Qiang?" It's her voice!
My hanging heart fell all at once.
"Yuting, you, where are you now?" I was like a prisoner who had just been released, and I was so excited.
"Oh, I'm at home, are you okay?"
"I, I'm worried about you." I finally couldn't take it anymore, but when I said this, my face turned red.
Worried about you? At this time, any woman could hear what the other party meant, not to mention that this woman was still a smart Su Yuting.
Yuting on the other end of the phone was silent, about a second or two, but I think this time is too long.
There is no turning back from the bow, and I must take the opportunity to confess.
"Yuting, you, can you listen to me?" I said boldly.
"Say it."
"Yuting, I, I know that your boyfriend broke up with you." I simply broke the skylight.
"How do you know?" Yuting was stunned.
"Yes, he told me." I told you the truth, "I'll tell you the truth, I found him and hoped he would leave you." β
"Huh?" Yuting froze.
"He doesn't deserve you." I continued, "He's got another woman out there. β
Yuting was silent.
"Yuting, you can't think about it for the sake of this man who is sorry for you." I said, "I found out about him, and I looked for him."
He theorized, he promised me that I would leave you. β
"What? So you told him to leave me? Yuting seemed angry, "How can you do this?" β
"Because, because I love you." When I said this, my voice trembled, "I don't want anything to happen to you. β
"You don't have to worry about my business! Ning Qiang, in the future, you don't have to contact me anymore, just because we don't know anyone! "The phone was hung up.
Yes? How did things get to this point?
None of this was what I had envisioned in advance, and in my vision, I managed to save Yuting, and then we were happily together. But now I'm messing everything up.
I'm really stupid, why should I tell her about that? In her eyes, what have I become? Because I love her, I broke up the two of them, isn't that no different from a villain?
I threw two punches at the wall in frustration, it hurt, but the result couldn't be changed.
Am I doing something wrong? yes, I did it wrong. Perhaps, as fate would have it, I just had nothing to do with Yuting, right? Otherwise, why would God say such stupid things through my mouth?
If you say it, you spill it, everything is useless.
I slumped on the couch and stared blankly at the wall.
Is this the end of it? Can't I change my fate?
Ah, yes, the watch, I still have the watch.
I looked at the watch, and my heart was crossed, and I simply let everything change back to the way it was!
Suddenly, my phone rang again. I was stunned, and immediately retracted the hand that was about to reach out to move the watch.
I picked up my phone and looked at it, and my heart suddenly jumped to my throat again.
The phone turned out to be from Yuting!
Yuting called me?
I picked up the phone, and Yuting's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Ning Qiang, just now, I was sorry for you just now."
Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer her.
"Are you listening?" Yuting asked again.
"Oh, me, I'm listening." I stuttered a little, "yes, it's me, you don't need to say sorry to me." I broke you apart, hey, I, I really don't know why I'm so mean. β
"Forget it, don't mention that person again, it's all over anyway." Yuting said, "Ning Qiang, I haven't thanked you for saving your life." β
"Hey, what is that, don't say I'm yours, your classmate, even a passerby, will jump down to save you." This time, I finally uttered a clever word.
"Ning Qiang, if you don't do this, I'll invite you to dinner, is it okay?"
"What, what?" I froze.
Yuting actually took the initiative to invite me to dinner? Oh my God, is there such a good thing in this world?
"What? If you don't want to, forget it if you don't want to. β
"Yes, of course I do." I touched the back of my head and looked at the watch on my wrist.
Luckily, if I had called the watch back, I would have regretted it.
We met at a steakhouse at half past six that night, and it was probably my first date with Yuting.
"Thank you so much for saving your life today." Yuting, who was dressed freshly, looked beautiful tonight, she raised her wine glass, there was red wine as red as a rose, "Come, cheers!" β
"Cheers!" I watched as she craned her neck and drank down half of the wine.
Wow, that's a lot of alcohol! What's wrong with Yuting today, I haven't seen her like this before?
So, I had to drink it all. Maybe I drank too hard and I even choked on it.
"You're drinking so fast, huh?" Seeing that I was coughing, Yuting smiled, "Take it easy." β
"Laughing." I smiled awkwardly.
"I'm sorry I said something I shouldn't have said today."
"It's me who should say I'm sorry, I shouldn't have intervened between the two of you."
"Forget it, don't mention that person, he's already in the past." Yuting poured another glass of wine, "You think I'll be sorry for this."
What kind of man goes to martyrdom? β
I didn't know how to answer, so I rubbed my hands together in embarrassment.
"He doesn't deserve my cherishment." Yuting raised her wine glass and stared at the red liquid in the glass, "I should start a new life." β
"That's right, that Sven scum is not worthy of your love."
Yuting turned her head, looked at me, and suddenly said very seriously, "So, what about you?" Do you think you deserve my love? β
"Huh?" I was stunned.
"Hahaha." Yuting suddenly laughed again, "Why are you so nervous?" I just played a joke on you. β
"This, I, I'm not nervous."
"You're not nervous? When you said that in the morning, you were quite brave, huh? Why, if you like girls, you don't dare to chase them? Yuting suddenly gave me a provocative look.
My adrenaline rushed all at once.
"Ning Qiang, listen." Yuting looked at me very seriously, "I can give you a chance to pursue me." β
"Huh? Really? β
"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Yu Ting crossed her arms over her chest and looked at me, "But, Ning Qiang, I have to say something sincere to you. β
"You, you name it." I was a little excited, and a little nervous.
"You really, really want to chase me? Truth or say? Yuting was very calm, as if this happened to someone else.
I nodded, "If it weren't true, would I go down and save you?" β
"That's just as well." Yuting nodded, "However, didn't you say that even a passerby would go to save me?" β
Now, I'm even more embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Yuting actually laughed.
She is a woman of this character, hearty, and sometimes a little domineering. However, I just like this genre.
However, she almost wanted to commit suicide for Shiwen at the beginning? I can't understand this in any way.
Perhaps, people have two sides, right? Behind Yuting's cheerful personality, there is an unknown fragility and loneliness.
Perhaps this is the complexity of human natureΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
