When the tide came out of the tent, Jiang Qi was sitting on the grass in front of his tent, looking up at the sky thoughtfully.

She followed his gaze and looked up. It was getting dark, and a few of the stars were already beginning to bloom.

This angle is just enough to see the side of his face. She did not shy away from staying on it, lingering. That's where she never gets tired of looking at it, and it doesn't hurt to watch it again.

She glanced around and saw that the lights in Xu Jinxi and Xia Chan's tent were still on, but the zippers were tightly drawn, and she didn't know what she was doing.

There was some hesitation. Tidal longed to walk next to him, but he was still slightly intimidated. Jiang Qi didn't seem to hear the movement behind him, and sat there motionless, with a calm face.

When I like someone, my self-contained calmness and silence are shattered by that person's eyes and expressions. Tidal felt the palm of his hand sweat slightly, moistening his entire palm.

Jiang Qi suddenly adjusted his sitting posture, but a normal small movement scared the tide a lot. She took a step back and stepped on the steel ring of the tent's outer support. She subconsciously let out a soft breath, although she deliberately lowered her voice, her voice was still particularly ear-catching in the silent and empty environment.

Jiang Qi heard the voice and turned his eyes.

"But look at the stars?"

Whenever he spoke, his tone was flat, making it impossible to guess his mood when he spoke.

The tide turned his head to look at the outer ring of the bottom of the tent that he had stepped on hard, and the force was too strong and hasty, and the shape was a little deformed.

Jiang Qi glanced at the place where her gaze was going, with a smile in his eyes, and then withdrew his gaze.

Tide walked over and sat down next to him an arm's length away.

"There aren't a lot of stars tonight."

She continued. In the midst of the darkness hung a few twinkling stars. She still remembers Xu Jinxi saying that the weather is very good today, and there will be many stars.

"It doesn't take much." Jiang Qi spoke. "Don't you think just a few of them look good?"

He seemed to sit with some numb legs, so he bent one leg and propped his hands on the grass.

"Sometimes it's not good to be too bright, it obscures the silence of the night and the light of the moon, and it makes people feel bored."

Hearing this, Tide felt a little inexplicably harsh, and wanted to carefully figure out the meaning of the words.

"But they have that dazzling right, if they can't shine their own light, it's better to be like they didn't exist."

She picked up as she pleased.

After hearing this, Jiang Qi suddenly turned his head and looked at her across the same level, his eyes were heavy.

The tide struggled to hide itself in a cold black. The atmosphere between them suddenly fell silent, and her heartbeat and breathing were clearly audible.

"If it weren't for Xu Jinxi, I wouldn't have known that you studied mathematics and could do modeling. ”

She didn't know if she was deliberately avoiding the topic, but her brain was hot and she brought it up casually.

"What? Otherwise, what do you think I'm studying? Jiang Qi asked her.

"Artistic."

The tides don't think twice. She thinks this way, not because of his face, she has been in college for three years, and she knows that the most eye-catching ones will always come out of the art academy, taking Xiao Ya as an example. Survivor bias, Qiao Shen is a rare exception.

Jiang Qi smiled, and the tide could clearly see the corners of his lips curled slightly in the darkness. "You're really a little superficial. A good-looking person only deserves art? Don't you deserve math and modeling? ”

She smiled embarrassedly, admitting in her heart what he had said. To be honest, she didn't know when she became so "superficial". If she was attracted to Jiang Qi because of that face, the strange thing was that Qiao Shen and Xu Jinxi couldn't get into her eyes. Before that, she had always thought that she was immune to this kind of good-looking people, and now it seems that she can't escape the cage of human nature that likes beauty by nature. As for Jiang Qi, when she saw him at first sight, she entered the Longtan Tiger's Den.

"I've loved math since I was a kid." Suddenly, she heard his faint voice spread through the night. "I got full marks in mathematics in both the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, and led the team to win several first prizes in the modeling national competition."

Tide felt as if someone was tickling her heart, which made her feel uncomfortable. She didn't know that he was still so good, showing that she was useless at this time, and she became more and more inferior. She has been accustomed to riding the dust since she was a child, and likes people to praise her for her intelligence and excellence, including learning French in college, and she must be the best.

The saying that there are people outside of people and there is heaven outside of heaven is true. Especially in front of the people he likes, all the glory of his past makes him seem worthless at the moment. The more she got to know him, the more she felt that she was farther away from him. She inexplicably wanted to ask him about his plans to finish his studies at the moment, but this was like snooping on other people's privacy, which made her a little embarrassed, and she didn't know whether to open her mouth or not.

She was crazy to know about his future.

"Are you speechless by my surprise?"

The girl next to her didn't move for a long time, Jiang Qi looked over curiously, but saw her with a lost face.

His eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully.

"You're pretty good, don't be presumptuous."

Tidal was surprised that he saw through it at a glance, but a fire of stubbornness was born in his heart, and he was unwilling to admit that he really felt ashamed.

"I'm not being presumptuous."

When she spoke, she was stubborn like a kitten with her back arched and grinning.

Jiang Qi turned his head with a smile, and the tide couldn't see his next look clearly. She felt a little bored, and as soon as she wanted to get up and get up and go back to the tent, she suddenly felt a tingling pain in the palm of her hand, and she hissed in a low voice, looking down at the source of the pain through the night slightly illuminated by the stars. When I got up just now, I was in a hurry, and my palm was cut by an unknown thing, and it was gurgling blood.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qi looked over, and his eyes fell on the palm of her hand with a cut engraved. Then he stood up, took two steps in this direction, and suddenly crouched down.

The crisp mint smell mixed with the mountain breeze poured into the tidal nostrils. She saw him lean over and reach out to gently grasp her injured palm.

The feeling of fingertips and palms touching the back of the hand is instantaneous like a transit current, densely transmitted from the back of the hand to the palm, and then from the palm to the whole body. His fingers had always been cold, but his grip made the tide feel hot and hot. She only felt that her brain was blank, and she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand.

"Don't move."

Jiang Qi's voice was low, and he looked at the wound carefully, but the strength of his hand deepened a little.

Tidal listened to his voice in the dark, felt the touch of his broad and powerful palms wrapped around the backs of his hands, saw his eyelashes drooping as he lowered his head and the bridge of his nose straightened, trying his best to hold his breath that was rapidly and disordered in the silence, I wonder if he was aware of her panic at the moment.

"It must have been scratched by the edge of a small rock." He said as he looked around the ground, then let go of her hand and stood up.

"You use toilet paper to stop the bleeding first, I brought alcohol and a band-aid, wait for me."

As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the tent, before the tide could say a word.

She pulled toilet paper out of her pocket and carefully wiped the blood that kept spilling. This reminded her of the bayberry that day, her blood-drenched and mottled palms of self-harm, and small flowers blooming on the white sheets, which was shocking.

Jiang Qi was quick to pick up things. She had just used the second piece of toilet paper when he came out.

"I'll disinfect you first, bacteria will get infected if they enter."

He put down what he was holding, squatted down, and took the alcohol and disinfectant cotton on the side.

"It might hurt a little, bear with me."

When the cotton swab dipped in alcohol touched the edge and top of the wound, Tidal felt a slight pain. But this pain is nothing to her at all. She just frowned and didn't make a sound.

Jiang Qi's movements were very gentle. Tide suddenly felt like someone else was helping her with her wounds.

"Thank you."

When Jiang Qi finally put a band-aid on the wound, Tide thanked him.

He remained silent, as always. Tide thinks maybe he's a guy who doesn't say thank you to others. Besides, this thank you, he accepted it as he deserved.

"It's best not to touch the water these days and change the band-aids frequently."

He stood up, and the tide heard his voice ringing overhead.

The night was darker, and there seemed to be a few more stars. Xia Chan and Xu Jinxi didn't move at all. The tide glanced over at the summer cicada, and the tent was still lit, but there was no sign of human movement.

It's not like I'm asleep.

After Jiang Qi left, the tide got up and walked to the summer cicada tent, wanting to see what this girl was doing all the time inside without moving.

"Xia Cicada?"

She unzipped the tent and shouted before anyone could enter.

There was still no movement inside.

She poked in and saw that Xia Cicada seemed to be asleep, she had always been unstable in her sleep, and the wool blanket on her body had been half kicked off by her.

Tide shook his head helplessly, walked in lightly, pulled up the blanket, and completely covered her.

She suddenly caught a glimpse of a few tears in the corners of her eyes that had not yet dried, and her heart sank suddenly.

Xia Cicada cried?

When she thought about it, she hadn't seen her shed a tear in about ten years. Except for the few times when she was sick and jumped into the water to save people. And Xia Chan has always been strong like a man for her own affairs, even when she was dumped by the ex she really liked, she never saw her shed tears about it.

She must have dreamed of something sad in her dreams. The vulnerability that people don't show easily on weekdays is always revealed in their dreams.

Tidal Tide's heart tugged up. She was not in a hurry to go back, and planned to sit here with Xia Chan for a while.

The mobile phone next to it suddenly sent out a message reminder sound. Tidal glanced at the screen that lit up automatically, and stumbled upon a pop-up dialog box at the top.

"I sincerely invite you to my wedding."

Tidal was stunned for a moment, and his eyes fell on the sender's name.

"Xu Mingzhong."
