Chapter 36: The Summer Festival
The second round of the 1,000-person competition, venue 4.
"In this game, Chen Zhesheng. ”
Announcing in a loud voice, Chen Zhe removed the butterfly bind that bound the level 7 martial artist opposite, the latter fell to the ground and panted rapidly, looked at Chen Zhe in fear and hurriedly left the competition platform.
An easy win without any suspense.
There is no difficulty, and the fight is also absent-minded.
As early as the beginning, Chen Zhe let his thoughts fly after using a butterfly to tie up the other party, and his mind could not control the scene in the living room last night.
He didn't expect his momentary teasing to be so far.
Living under the same roof, looking up and not looking down, Chen Zhe found that he didn't know how to face Xia Ying.
Maybe.
The woman didn't want to see herself anymore.
Do you want to apologize?
Soon, Xia Ying's harshness towards him appeared in his mind, and he thought that he was bored, and also, why should he care about what the woman thought of him.
Chen Zhe had a little bit of revenge.
He no longer thought about Xia Ying, and came to the heavenly list to inject magic energy, and the blue fire jumped up, indicating that he would face stronger opponents in the next round.
As long as you can win all the time, after three rounds, you can break out of the 1,000-person competition and enter the round-by-round elimination round of 500 people.
"Bad luck guy. Chen Zhe saw the two flames collide, and he was drawn to compete with a level 9 physical martial artist tomorrow.
In the end, the physical skill type martial artist still dominates, and Chen Zhe thought about when he would be able to compete with the elemental type martial artist.
That would be a lot more interesting.
On the way back, the mobile phone vibrated for a while, and Chen Zhe received a text message from which he received a reply, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile, and he transferred to the Second People's Hospital.
A light figure walked over, and the girl waved her white slender arm to Chen Zhe from a distance.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Liu Xinyan said apologetically.
Chen Zhe saw that Liu Xinyan had dressed up a little, her freshly washed long hair was fragrant, and she was wearing a fresh dress, highlighting the girl's pretty figure. The quiet softness in her eyes was the most attractive to Chen Zhe, and she had never seen it in the eyes of a second woman.
"It's my pleasure to wait for a beautiful woman. Chen Zhe replied humorously.
With this kind of slight contact, Liu Xinyan seemed to be stunned when she heard it.
Chen Zhe saw that she quickly avoided his gaze, the woman didn't speak, and Chen Zhe didn't know what effect his words just now had.
"Let's go. Liu Xinyan was already ahead of the curve when she spoke.
The second courtyard is in the center of the town, and the two of them walked to the ancient road neighborhood of Shanan Town, which is always the most lively here every summer.
Visiting the gods, worshiping the Buddha, drama performances, rock sugar gourds, wine-stuffed rice cakes, antique characteristics have been spreading.
Chen Zhe sent a text message in the morning to ask Liu Xinyan to come to the festival, and at this moment, he can walk in the neighborhood with Liu Xinyan, and he still has some excitement in his heart.
On the street at dusk, the passers-by who were also strolling around him, he and Liu Xinyan kept a distance not far away, and the two of them were slowly separated by only a fist of shoulders under someone's heart.
Chen Zhe's eyes were looking at the road, and his hand quietly pulled towards Liu Xinyan.
As if sensing Chen Zhe's intentional approach, the girl quickened her walking steps and widened the distance between the two.
Chen Zhe took a deep breath, his heart beat faster, took a big step forward, and held Liu Xinyan's smooth and white hand.
There was a retracting touch in her palm, Liu Xinyan didn't speak, she was breaking free, but she was only pulling her hand by a small margin, and Chen Zhe held it tightly with strength that would not hurt her.
"You should feel it. Chen Zhe smiled slightly, and the wind raised his forehead: "I like you..."
"It's been a long, long time. ”
"I'm sorry. Liu Xinyan said in a low voice.
Chen Zhe's pupils dilated instantly, his heart cracked, and the summer breeze blowing in his nasal cavity was cold, how could it be like this!
"I've been in a mess lately, and I don't really have the heart to think about it. Liu Xinyan bit her lip, and then said, "I will pay you back the 20,000 yuan as soon as possible." ”
"Is it because you feel that you owe me that money, so you agreed to come with me to the festival?" Chen Zhe asked in disbelief.
Liu Xinyan didn't answer.
A burst of anger burned into Chen Zhe's heart, let go of his hand, and turned his head with a rough breath: "Twenty thousand yuan is nothing to me now." I never thought you owed me a favor because of the money. If you're worried about that, don't worry if you go back. ”
There is a sentence that didn't say, if it was to make Liu Xinyan agree to be with him, he would spend money for her, then what is the difference between this and Zheng Shaowei.
What Chen Zhe wanted from beginning to end was to solve Liu Xinyan's difficulties, so that she would not have any baggage, not have to be sad about Liu's father's affairs, and be able to accept her pursuit without any burden and face up to the relationship between the two.
But it seems that subtle details have changed the world in silence.
"You have never had a good impression of me?" Facing the silent Liu Xinyan, Chen Zhe asked again anxiously, he didn't believe that Liu Xinyan had no feelings for him.
"Give me some time, okay. ”
It was almost a pleading voice, with a thick exhaustion, Chen Zhe looked back and saw that her eyes were already wet with fog.
"I'm really not that fast, and I can't accept such a straightforward conversation. If I could, I would rather be able to exchange letters one by one than have no time to make decisions. Liu Xinyan covered her face.
"I'm sorry. Chen Zhe's words hesitated for a long time, and finally only three words came out.
The two were silent, and after a long time, Liu Xinyan raised her head and regrouped her emotions, and spoke first: "Can you accompany me to visit the gods." ”
Chen Zhe nodded, preoccupied.
It's dark.
At the head of the temple on West Street, candles were lit, and an endless stream of townspeople walked into it with their own cushions, kowtowing to the gods and asking for signs.
Chen Zhe followed to the door without saying a word, and the crowd of people coming and going in front of him suddenly felt skin in his palm, and a gentle thin hand inexplicably grabbed him.
Liu Xinyan walked inside, and Chen Zhe, who was still stunned, had a testimony in his heart, and followed him into the temple with the pull of his hand.
Chen Zhe looked down, and his pupils instantly expanded countless times, and it was Liu Xinyan in front of him who took the initiative to hold his hand.
Bang!
It was as if a firework was blooming in his heart, and the indescribable excitement swept Chen Zhe's mind in an instant.
"Lord Solo, who is in charge of the afterlife, please protect my father from the pain of illness and keep him healthy, and I would like to pray daily for his recovery for many years. Yoo Shin-yeon closed her eyes and prayed in front of a majestic statue of a deity.
She muttered earnestly over and over again.
I forgot how long it was, Liu Xinyan quietly said goodbye to the gods and walked out of the door, she pulled Chen Zhe's arm, and smiled slightly: "Let's go, why are you stunned." ”
"Good, good. Chen Zhe found that his IQ had decreased, and he couldn't say any other words in his mouth.
Smelling the fragrance of the girl who is close at hand.
Chen Zhe's eyes were sour.
In this life, I will never let go again!
seemed to be silent, and the two deliberately forgot the embarrassment and unhappiness not long ago. Laughter began to fill his and Yoo Shin-yeon's faces, and the two walked to the bustle of one festival after another.
Pinching animal candy sticks, aromatic wine-stuffed rice cakes, sweet and sour rock sugar gourds, delicious and delicious melt in the mouth cavity.
Eating exquisite snacks, enjoying festival performances everywhere, and as the crowd came to the event game of bidding for dolls, it took hundreds of dollars to finally vote for Xinyan's favorite white bear.
Walking to the next activity in the crowded crowd, Chen Zhe mustered up the courage to hug Liu Xinyan's waist, her eyelashes blinked, and then she maintained the action of pinching the nose of the little white bear in her arms, without resistance.
"Seventeen years ago today, the sky was covered with the sun, all kinds of monsters traveled, and the creatures were ruined everywhere the monsters passed, and the blood flowed like a river!
An old man's voice came from a humble stall, but a large group of young people under the age of twenty listened with great interest.
"Hey, what's going on over there. Liu Xinyan pulled Chen Zhe, she wanted to go over and listen.
Chen Zhe's face was strange, and he quickly regained his composure.
He squeezed past the crowd of young people and saw an old woman with a wrinkled face, and a painting like an oracle bone inscription was laid in front of the bench.
In the hot summer season, the old woman was still wearing a blue cotton wrap, she looked at the ground with her hands in her hands, and her eyes were full of terrifying looks: "The mountain that breeds the monsters of the demon tide is called Luo Yan Mountain, ah, ah, they will come again! The demon tide of seventeen years ago has not been solved at all, it's fast, it's fast, it's going to rush again." You, you, you and you, none of you want to escape, none of you want to escape!"
