“……”

The boomerang pierced her head, but You Xuezhen wanted to curl the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't, she had to suppress it, but the fingers pinching the bag instead of the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Although she felt that this did not mean that he bought it for her. After all, eye shadow is a gift that is not wrong when it is drawn by Mao Suhe, he is obviously lazy, and it is easy to please girls by knowing what to buy nowadays through her.

She was glad that she couldn't remember a casual mention of this Christmas eyeshadow in a chat, and she never mentioned it since, and she wasn't the kind of person who likes to shout what she wants.

But he remembered.

The bus is about to reach the end of Hong Kong Island and is about to drive to the Kowloon Peninsula on the other side.

The light suddenly dimmed, and she hurriedly put the two gifts in the bag, and just put them away, her forearm was touched.

You Xuezhen turned her head sideways and looked at Meng Shilong who had touched her just now with an inquiring gaze.

He put his hat back on, his eyes shining brightly in the shadows of the dim yellow lights of the tunnel, looking at her. You Xuezhen thought he had something to say, but he didn't speak.

The tunnel was quiet and noisy, without the buzzing human voices and the jingle bells rolling in the mall, and the sound of the wind and the air currents of countless traffic wiping around dominated the passage. When the bus was about to rush out of the tunnel, the Hung Hom Stadium, where the concert was being held, sent the song in, faintly, "The butterfly is full of hearts, but it has not approached." I wanted to kiss at first sight, but I felt that it was in contrast, and slowly hugged ......" Hidden in the song was the small box handed over by Meng Shilong without a sound.

You Xuezhen took it in surprise.

Meng Shilong quietly withdrew his hand, and then buried his head in pressing his phone.

Immediately after, You Xuezhen's pocket shook, and the news came from him.

"I was worried that I wouldn't be able to give you the gift, so I brought you another apple."

"Happy Christmas Eve."

In the aisle at the end of the bus, in the warm tunnel wind, a song has not been sung, and the secret handover has ended.

Of course, it's not all secret, there will always be one or two witnesses, such as Yuan Jing who sat next to You Xuezhen, and Ye Wanbai, who sat next to Meng Shilong.

Chapter 31

You Xuezhen opened the iron box, which contained a large apple, and took it out to almost fill her palm. The butterfly ribbon that had been dismantled outside the tin box fluttered up and down in the tunnel wind, wrapping around her fingers.

She tapped her fingers wrapped in ribbons on the keyboard.

Zhen Zhibang: "Wow...... Thank you."

Zhen Zhibang: "It's a pity that I didn't prepare the apple [sweating]"

The phone screen lit up in a dark tunnel.

Dragon: "Don't you have a picture frame [laughs]?"

Dragon: "Don't bear it, this apple is a gift from Grandma."

Oh, I see......

The weight of the apple suddenly became much lighter.

She was reminded by this sentence, remembering that she hadn't given her the photo frame yet, but Meng Shilong didn't bring a bag, so it was probably not easy to take it.

Zhen Zhiwan: "Put the photo frame here first, and remember to remind me when you leave, I'll give it to you."

Dragon: "Good"

The bus drove through the undersea tunnel and continued until it reached the final stop. This is the pier, you can take the Star Ferry to the other side of the river Central.

On this day, they were like little chess pieces on flying chess, and when they reached a certain square, they would turn off the engine and fly back, and then move forward, and they never got tired of it, and the small Hong Kong Island became a map for them to focus on exploring.

The addition of Meng Shilong made this exploration easier, he walked to the front with ease, and he was responsible for helping everyone communicate and buy tickets, and when he spoke Cantonese, You Xuezhen couldn't help but ask Yuan Jing: "Do you think he feels different when he speaks Cantonese?" ”

Yuan Jing groaned: "It seems to be a little, indescribable feeling." ”

"Language is such a strange thing." You Xuezhen muttered, "The temperament of people who switch languages seems to be different." ”

Yuan Jing squinted at her: "Hmm, do you want to say that he is handsome?" ”

You Xuezhen hurriedly skimmed out: "That's what you said." ”

"Cut." Yuan Jing lowered her voice, "I obviously just saw him give you an apple, what's the matter with you?" ”

Ye Yanbai, who was originally standing near the two of them, stood closer, and at the same time suddenly took out the earphone plug from his pocket that had run out of power two hours ago and put it on.

You Xuezhen didn't bother to explain, and made a long story short: "It's just a courtesy exchange." ”

"What kind of courtesy?"

"Quick, get on board."

She opened the topic and pulled Yuan Jing, who was still asking, to the dock.

Everyone got on the boat, and tonight it was overcrowded, even the deck and aisles were full.

"Where are we going in a moment?" Yuan Jing threw the question to Meng Shilong, "Brother Meng, is there any fun place you can take us to where you will go!" Don't be that kind of street attraction. ”

Meng Shilong thought for a moment: "Do you want to roller skate?" ”

So, forty minutes later, they followed Meng Shilong to a roller skating rink with a berry sign.

You Xuezhen is actually not good at roller skating, she has only been exposed to it twice in her memory, once in elementary school, and her grandfather took her there. The second time was in high school, she and Ye Wanbai, and the first girl he dated. The two held hands, she held on to the railing behind her, slowly swallowing half a circle, Ye Wanbai turned back to her, she smiled, stepped on the fake ice, showing fake happiness.

After that, she never went to the rink again.

Rollerblading was listed as one of the most unhappy entertainment in the world, but when Meng Shilong mentioned it, she didn't show it, raised her hand like everyone else, nodded like garlic and said yes.

But this time, instead of forcing herself like the last time she went to play in the secret room, she became curious. Since it's Meng Shilong's favorite place, maybe there will be a different experience? This curiosity drove her to go there.

This roller skating rink called Berry is actually really beautiful, and it is a sight to behold as soon as you step into the store, with red, white and blue neon lights, a red, white and blue three-color checkered tile in the lounge area, and old movies about pulleys hanging on the walls, "Roller Skating Girl", "Typhoon Sun", "Romance on Ice", ...... The songs are also different from other skating rinks, not energetic songs, but melodic Cantonese love songs.

Because of Christmas Eve, there were a lot of people in the venue, and most of them were couples.

Zuoqiu whistled: "Brother Meng, is this place where you specially brought your sister-in-law?" ”

Meng Shilong took the storage key from the counter and distributed it to everyone: "I came by myself." ”

Zuoqiu teased: "This place is so suitable for falling in love, I don't believe that brother you are alone." ”

"It's really good for dragging." He agreed without changing his face, "So I thought before that if I dragged her, I would bring her here." ”

When he said this, the storage key in his hand happened to be sent to You Xuezhen.

You Xuezhen raised her eyes slightly and met Meng Shilong's eyes.

The little finger that went to pick up the key twitched slightly, she quickly grabbed the key into the palm of her hand, ran two steps to find the cabinet, only to find that she even forgot to look at the number of the key.

“192……”

You Xuezhen muttered the numbers, walked around several rows, and finally found the cabinet that belonged to her at the end of the last row.

The location is really out of the ordinary, it seems that she is the only one in this row.

As soon as she took off her cardigan and bag into the cabinet, someone walked into the passage of her row of cabinets.

You Xuezhen turned her eyes sideways and saw Meng Shilong carrying roller skates.

She scratched her head and said without words, "Which cabinet are you?" ”

Meng Shilong's index finger turned the keyring and turned the other side of the number to her, 193, next door to her.

After putting on the roller skates, she felt that her legs had degenerated into primitive humans in prehistoric times, and she was a little reluctant to stand up. If Meng Shilong hadn't reached out to support her when she stood up for the first time, her head would have hit the cabinet.

"You're not very good at slipping?" Meng Shilong showed a slight annoyance, and didn't want to say, "Then let's change places." ”

You Xuezhen's eyes widened slightly, not sure if he was joking or what, everyone was already changing their shoes, how could they say that they would change.

But his tone sounded like as long as she said change, then he could really go directly.

"No, no...... I just haven't skated in a long time. ”

She wanted to wave her hand, but suddenly realized that her hand was still being held by Meng Shilong, and she pulled it out crampedly.

Meng Shilong glanced over his empty palm, and then said, "I'm sorry, I should have asked."

You Xuezhen was surprised.

Because in such occasions, she often hears the same sentence - you should have told me earlier.

She was a little unaccustomed to it, so she said this sentence to herself: "How to blame you, I should have said it earlier." ”

"It's still my fault, I don't know you well enough." He held out his hand again, "Then give me a chance to make amends?" I'll take you there. ”

You Xuezhen unconsciously shook her palm, and her chest was stirring strangely and at high speed.

As she hesitated to reach over and rely on his help, another person appeared at the entrance of the passage—

Ye Wanbai stepped on roller skates and asked, "What are you rubbing?" Not yet. ”

You Xuezhen's hand stopped and retracted.

Ye Wanbai slid over, stopped in front of her, and glanced at Meng Shilong's outstretched hand.

"I guess you can't do it, you have to come and slide." As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand, "Let's go, I'll take you." ”

There were some strange stalemates in the scene, You Xuezhen snorted, adjusted the atmosphere and said, "Ouch, if you don't take one side, you make me look like the queen mother." ”

“……”

“……”

The two people glanced at each other, and at this time it was rare to have the same tacit understanding that they didn't know what to say.

In the end, You Xuezhen took the lead in sliding forward, without holding anyone's hand.

"No, I can do it myself."

She tried to remember the only two roller skating experiences, it was magical, it was like a bicycle she had ridden before, she hadn't ridden it for a long time and tried to ride it once, she didn't wrestle, the faster she rode, the faster she rode, and down the slope from the starting point, there was a feeling like she was about to fly...... It turned out that her body had been helping her store something that she thought she had lost and couldn't even call it a habit.

You Xuezhen cheered, although the slide was still very clumsy, there was no need to rely on the cabinet to move forward.

She tentatively let go of her hand, and turned to the two people behind her who were observing her, smug their scissor hands. Meng Shilong seemed to be facing a primary school student, his eyes were slightly bent and he gave her a thumbs up, Ye gradually glanced away, and slid past her into the field.

The three people entered the venue, and the other three had already entered the venue, and everyone skated a few laps separately, and suddenly a strange sound of music sounded in the venue.

When they didn't know why, the owner of the venue turned on the microphone and spoke a string of Cantonese.

Everyone unanimously looked at Meng Shilong.

He translated: "The boss said that there will be a special Christmas event on the hour, because a certain drama has been very popular recently, so he imitated a game in the play, called One, Two, Three Wooden People, and if you are interested, you can play together." He is a ghost, and then when he turns his head, he is not detected moving, and he slides to the finish line smoothly, even if he wins, he can be exempted. The first person to reach the finish line will also receive a victory apple. ”
