Chapter 69: Little Rabbit
During the period of letting William do as he pleased, she became more and more uncertain, why did he delay his action? Maybe it's because he still has someone else in his heart and doesn't want to invest too much emotion in the relationship? Or is he also leaving a way out for himself?
All in all, she felt that she was wandering in William's routine.
He just seems to want to have an affair with her, that is, she was reciprocated by this perfect boy whom he had chosen with great difficulty.
When you open the door to the terrace, you will see a large semi-circular terrace covered with a thick layer of snow, and the eyes are full of flawless white color.
Dad said that in the designer's original drawings, the large circular terrace was designed as a Greek temple-style hanging garden, with fountains, sculptures, temples, and fragrant flowers blooming everywhere...... However, the practical dad later discovered that the budget for this one terrace alone was close to a quarter of the total budget.
Dad has never liked to invest more time and money in useless things, so he decisively stopped the construction of the terrace, and the Greek temple could only exist in Bai Xinrui's mind.
In reality, the terrace is as ugly as the top floor of any tall building, with a flat and monotonous concrete floor and a low barrier at the edges.
The half-carved white Roman stone pillars are piled up in a corner of the terrace of varying lengths, like ancient ruins that have just been left after an earthquake.
Fortunately, with the cover and embellishment of snow, there is a different kind of beauty here, decadent and distant......
In the sunset, there is no obstacle as far as the eye can see, and the beautiful scenery of the campus is in full view.
Bai Xinrui jumped out of William's arms, stepped out of the door, and jumped on a series of cute little footprints on the snow.
The long black goose down coat was fluffy on her slender figure, showing her legs straight and slender.
Behind the white velvet hat with ear protectors hangs a cute big pom-pom, jumping behind her with her brisk steps.
Bai Xinrui turned to look at William, who was still standing at the door of the building looking at him.
She smiled sweetly, put her hands into a small trumpet, put them to her mouth, and shouted: "Dumb, come here!" The bunny is here. โ
"What's the bunny? I think you're like a white rabbit. William slipped out of the snow with his feet one after the other, and hugged Bai Xinrui.
He lowered his head and buried his face between her long hair, a sweet scent of gardenia filling his nose, and William breathed intoxicatedly.
"Really! I won't lie to you. Bai Xinrui was like a grumpy child, angrily breaking free from William's embrace.
"Look, there it is, it's asleep." Bai Xinrui stretched out her hand and pointed not far away, and her serious appearance became more and more innocent.
William looked in the direction of her finger and saw the pile of marble pillars lying on the terrace, one of which was indeed a little white rabbit made of snow.
The chubby body, short tail, long ears, and two bright red cherries are really crystal clear and lifelike.
"How? Isn't it cute? Bai Xinrui asked William with a small face, and the breath in her mouth turned into a white mist and dispersed in the air, which turned out to be a sweet taste.
"Not as cute as you." William forgot for a moment, hugged Bai Xinrui, lowered his head and looked at her with pity in his eyes, his warm lips almost touching her lips.
Bai Xinrui suddenly turned her head away, looked at the snow-covered lakes and mountains in the distance, and said words like a child: "I know you like me, but you don't say you like me, how do I know if you like me or not?" โ
William eased his hand and hugged Bai Xinrui tightly, don't look at Tong Yanwuji, what she said was exactly the question that puzzled William.
He expected that sooner or later, Bai Xinrui would ask such a question, and the question was like *, but he didn't know when it would be detonated.
He didn't know how to answer for a moment.
It's not that he doesn't like her, he's just not sure how deep this liking is, and whether it's enough to support a relationship that has a beginning and an end.
In the evening, the temperature was a few degrees lower than that of the day, Bai Xinrui's nose was frozen red, she kept pouring hot air on her hands, and the shiny lip gloss on her lips became more and more lustrous and gorgeous when it met the cold air, like a red pink glass made of fire and pure ice, fragile and beautiful.
Without waiting for William to speak, she sighed, as if to say to herself: "...... But...... We're not the right fit...... There may be an insurmountable gap between us......"
She raised her head and looked at William very seriously, and from her inky black pupils, William saw himself in a daze, and he felt that she seemed to be peeling away from his arms little by little......
"Oh, no......"
William's eyes changed from confused to flustered, and after only two words were spitted out, he felt a burning heat in his throat, and he was speechless for a while.
What's not? He asked himself in his heart.
He couldn't deny the fact that Bai Xinrui said, even though it was a whip on his pride.
This girl is like a princess in a fairy tale, beautiful, noble, pure, rich, and he is not a prince, but a shepherd with nothing.
From William's suddenly lost and depressed expression, Bai Xinrui knew what he was thinking, and he was gliding forward along his guidance.
A relationship can't always stay in the ambiguous stage, in that case, after a long time, both people will become numb.
Now, it was time for him to look into his heart, and she was going to listen to his confession, and that was only the first step.
Fine snow fell in the sky, and small snowflakes fell on Bai Xinrui's thick long eyelashes, and soon, the hair was also covered with a layer of white fluffy small snowflakes.
"How much do you like me?" Bai Xinrui asked William with her long eyelashes.
Looking at the delicate and innocent little girl in her arms, she is as beautiful as a porcelain doll.
William's nerves burned, and he couldn't help but say, "Very, very much, even ...... Beyond liking myself, I can go to the soup for you, to ......"
"Will you marry me later?" Bai Xinrui interrupted William's words.
William was stunned, this time, he was really stuck. It's like watching a beautiful romantic drama in an environment where the Internet is not powerful, and when you see the key point, the picture suddenly stops moving.
"It won't be......" Bai Xinrui was like a ball of anger, and her tone was full of disappointment.
William hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "No, no, that's later, it's too far away, there are too many uncertainties in it, and besides, we have just begun, and there are still too many puzzles......"
Bai Xinrui took William's body around in a half circle, leaned forward, and pressed the tall William against the wall of the terrace.
William's clean-cut chin landed just above her line of sight, just across the social distance.
"Do you know how to meet mermaids?" Bai Xinrui asked, staring into William's eyes.
William shook his head, not understanding why she had suddenly changed the subject.
"I watched a movie that says: you have to dive deep into the depths of the sea, where the water is no longer blue, where the sky will become a memory, you float in silence, stay there, determined to die for her, and only then will she appear for you, greet you, test your love...... If your love is pure, she will be with you and take you away forever......"
"Oh, it's beautiful." William looked down at Bai Xinrui, and gradually, there was a longing in his eyes, and he slowly spoke: "I don't know what will happen in the future, but I'm sure that I like you now and want to try to be with you." Would you like to give me such a chance? โ
Bai Xinrui pondered for a moment, her shiny black eyes turned in a half circle in her sockets, and she smiled weirdly, revealing her cute little tiger teeth: "Okay then." Let's start getting to know each other from a spring break outing. โ
Such a confession is not firm enough, not fanatical enough.
Before this, Bai Xinrui couldn't remember how many people had said to her that they were countless times better than William, and she gave William a barely passing score in her heart.
But what does it matter, anyway, she heard what she wanted, and it was already considered a success.
This means that she has already bagged the most prestigious, powerful, handsome, and intelligent boy in school!
The snow is falling heavier and heavier, and the entire campus is covered in a white snowfall, with winding red brick paths, Gothic buildings on slope tops, chapels with flying buttresses, and distant mountains and lakes covered with a layer of goose-down-soft fresh snow.
The snow on the terrace on the top floor of the Science Building was getting thicker and thicker, and the little footprints that had just been stepped on soon became shallow.
In the midst of the large snowflakes fluttering, two figures on the terrace on the top floor, framed by the last rays of the setting sun, hugged each other tightly......
โSurprise๏ผ (Surprise)"
With the cheers of the boys and girls one after another, there was a "pop", and all the lights in the rugby team's locker room were lit at the same time.
Compared with the ice and snow world on the terrace of the Science Building, the locker room on the basement floor of the gymnasium is full of warmth. In the middle of the rows of blue tin cabinets, more than 30 people stood in a dense turn.
Bewildered, Ben stood in the doorway and looked at the smiling faces so familiar, all of his teammates from Rugby's three teams, their girlfriends, and the coach of the team.
In the center of the room is a wooden cart with a double-tiered white cream cake with the words "Happy Birthday, Ben!" written in dark red maple syrup. โ
Never before in his life had so many people celebrated his birthday together, Ben couldn't believe what he was seeing, his feet seemed to be glued to the door of the dressing room, grinning excitedly, his face filled with sudden joy.
Just about to thank his teammates for the surprise on his birthday, Ben opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word.
