Chapter Seventy-Six: The Golden Hour (Part II)
Cao Aiqing communicated with Bai Tingting on the other end of the phone for more than five minutes and walked back again.
Shen Qiuxu asked, "Is there something urgent?" β
The girl shook her head: "It's not a big deal, it's just that a good friend of mine received an invitation from her crush to hang out today, and she didn't know what to do, so she asked me to accompany her." β
Shen Qiuxu was obviously stunned: "Uh...... This kind of thing, wouldn't it be better to let her go alone? β
"Girl, you must give priority to safety, not to mention that she and her sweetheart haven't seen each other much since graduating from high school, and it's a crush, so it's a little panicked, after all, she was in school...... The two didn't communicate much. β
In this world that has been restarted by He Tianran, Xue Yong's position in the original four-person study group was replaced by Guo Huai, not to mention that the former failed to be admitted to the police academy, and repeated his studies for two years, and the original relationship with Bai Tingting also came to naught.
If there is anyone who is the biggest victim of this butterfly effect after Wen Liang is relieved, it is undoubtedly this little brother Yong, who is still in his sophomore year......
Shen Qiuxu, who figured out the situation, said with concern: "That's true, if the other party is a man, even if you two girls are not safe, do you need me to go with you?" β
"You don't have to...... At least I'm still more or less ...... this boy I know him as a person. β
Cao Aiqing hesitated for a moment and replied.
The last time she saw Xue Yong, it was a year ago when she investigated the truth about her being cyberbullied with He Tianran, and she hadn't seen Xue Yong since, but He Tianran seemed to have kept in touch with his "newly acquainted" good brother one after another in the past year, maybe he felt indebted to him, and occasionally heard Xue Yong's name from his mouth.
However, why Xue Yong can intersect with Bai Tingting again, I didn't talk very clearly on the phone just now, but when I thought that these two people might be able to "continue the frontier", Cao Aiqing was still happy to add to the fire, so on a date for the first time, it would be easy to say that his identity as a best friend and high school classmate was okay, but if he called Shen Qiuxu, a stranger, it would be really inappropriate......
Declined Shen Qiuxu's kindness, and the other party was also very measured and did not continue to entangle, he just sighed slightly, and said in dismay:
"Heh, I really want to know what kind of person Ai Qing will like in the future."
The man reopened the book as he said this, as if to hide some of his thoughts.
Cao Aiqing was slightly stunned, and then smiled.
"Let's talk about the future......"
She also opened her book, and the two did not communicate much after that, and tacitly initiated this reading time before parting.
Adults judge whether love has come, is in this kind of daily dialogue and reaction back and forth, when everyone does not have the unscrupulous adolescence, naturally begin to understand some conventional communication rules.
Love at first sight is not nothing, and it is also common to fall in love over time, but the word "decent" has replaced the naΓ―ve stupidity on the faces of teenagers and girls.
An hour later, Cao Aiqing received a call from Bai Tingting again, who had already met with Xue Yong, and had now driven to HKU, about ten minutes away, so that she could go out now.
Cao Aiqing packed up her things, and before leaving, she naturally said goodbye to Shen Qiuxu and walked out of the library.
It's just that what she didn't know was that Shen Qiuxu, who originally said that she was going back to the city and had something to do, after she left, she studied alone in the library until it closed before leaving.
Of course, these are irrelevant things.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Cao Aiqing, who had just walked out of the school gate, saw a black Grand Cherokee slowly driving from a distance, and then waited in front of her impartially.
The car window rolled down, Xue Yong, who hadn't seen him for a long time, grinned widely, a row of white teeth set off his extremely sassy face, he pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose to show his eyes, and said with a smile:
"Classmate Cao, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Xue Yong."
As soon as Cao Aiqing finished speaking, he heard Bai Tingting in the back seat of the car say excitedly: "Ai Qing Aiqing, get in the car, come quickly." β
The girl smiled, opened the car door and sat next to Bai Tingting, her nose sniffed slightly, as if she smelled a familiar smell, but she didn't have time to think about it, so she heard her best friend busy saying:
"Last month, a new coastal amusement park opened on Chaoxia Road, and I haven't been there yet, so Xue Yong suggested that we go there in the afternoon, Ai Qing, what do you think?"
Cao Aiqing looked at her best friend and said jokingly: "You have all decided on something, ask my opinion again, how else can I answer?" With you, of course. β
Bai Tingting's face turned red suddenly.
The car restarted, Cao Aiqing's eyes swept back and forth between Xue Yong and her best friend, she squinted her eyes and asked curiously:
"You two are ...... What's the situation? I didn't even know there was a connection between you. β
Xue Yong, who was driving, responded aggressively:
"What's wrong with this, they're all classmates anyway, isn't it normal to have time to go out and play together? But speaking of which, it was Brother Natural who suggested that we come out to play together today. β
After listening to Xue Yong's information, Cao Aiqing was suddenly surprised:
"Who are you talking about?"
Xue Yong turned his head and glanced at her quickly, and repeated again in confusion:
"Brother Nature, He Natural."
ββ¦β¦β
Being able to hear this name again from other people's mouths, Cao Aiqing suddenly felt incredible, could it be that the situation that happened this morning had changed again after his nap? Or is it all the suspicion that he was giving the beads?
"You...... Do you remember him? β
"Poof...... Classmate Cao, although I don't usually have any contact with you, but after I had a boxing fight with He Tianran in our school last time, we often came together in private, and now we know each other very well, he didn't tell you? β
Cao Aiqing shook her head and nodded a little sneeringly, what Xue Yong said was consistent with her memory, and Bai Tingting on the side asked her worriedly what was wrong, but she didn't reply, just silenced.
Chaoxia Street by the sea, the newly built amusement park, Bai Tingting and Xue Yong, and themselves and ......
All kinds of clues are pieced together, an old picture emerges in my heart, the girl's heartbeat is unprovoked, and now only the last piece of the puzzle is missing......
She seemed to have a premonition of what was going to happen, but now that she had learned from the past, she wasn't sure it would really be what she thought......
Xue Yong and Bai Tingting chatted with each other in the car, they chatted very speculatively, from sharing their respective experiences in college in the past few years, to the next project to the amusement park to play, there seemed to be endless topics to talk about.
The scenery outside the car window is reflected on Cao Aiqing's contemplative face through the window, from the tall buildings, the surrounding viaducts, to the endless blue sea that shimmers and reflects the sky.
"Buzz ......"
The mobile phone that the girl had been holding in her hand suddenly vibrated twice.
She lowered her head and lit up the screen, it was a familiar remarks screen name, and a simple, but enough to make her heart throb-
"Blue Sky: Have you arrived?"
ββ¦β¦β
Cao Aiqing looked at this sentence attentively, and she didn't know how long time had passed, until she felt that the car stopped, her body leaned forward slightly, and Xue Yong's voice came from ahead:
"We're here!"
The girl raised her head, and her best friend took her hand and said excitedly:
"Ai Qing, let's go!"
In a trance, she nodded in a daze, was pushed by her best friend, and got out of the car.
What appeared in front of them and in their ears were the tourists who were thrown high into the sky by the jumping machine and fixed in their positions, they were either shocked or laughed; The Ferris wheel is slowly climbing, the roller coaster behind it is whizzing by, and under the blue sky, the sea not far away is like a dream.
And at the entrance of the amusement park, Cao Aiqing could see a person from a distance, as if he was waving at them.
He slowly approached, and she saw more and more clearly.
It was a teenager-like man, wearing a beige waffle cardigan jacket lined with a pure white T-shirt and a pair of simple slacks...... Clear.
He put one hand in his pocket, raised the other hand and shook it a few times, then put it down and walked over.
There were obviously many people on the beach, but the only one walked towards him, like a line running out of the cursive script through the crowd.
Xue Yong and Bai Tingting went up to greet him, and the three of them got together to talk and laugh, but what was said, Cao Aiqing couldn't hear a word clearly at this time......
Until the man's gaze turned to himself, and then a hearty smile appeared.
Behind him, it was all colorful.
