Chapter 7: Sweet Joy (Volume 2)

It's seven o'clock in the evening.

Siqi who has just come out of the bathroom is refreshing, vibrant, and refreshed.

There's a date tonight, a date with Creek.

Looking at the teddy bear with a broken foot on the bedside table, Siqi couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

His heart is filled with a kind of joy that belongs to youth, sunshine, love, and sweetness.

This joy surrounded him like a tidal wave, surging in his bosom.

"Look at it, crippled little stupid bear!" Siqi tapped the bear on the head with his hand as he tied his tie.

A 'my mom' sounded, and Siqi couldn't help laughing.

"Do you like my brother so much? Why, do you have something to say to your brother? I'm very busy!" Siqi squatted down, looked at the bear and continued: "Say, I'll listen, although I'm busy going to see Xiaoxi, but there is still a little time, you talk, talk, what do you want to say to me?"

He knocked the bear on the head again. 'Oh my mom' sounded again.

Siqi laughed and continued to say to Little Bear: "So that's what I said, I'm busy to death, okay, I know, I know!"

Siqi lightly sprayed a little perfume on his hair and body.

"They all say stinky men, stinky men, today, I want to be a fragrant man. He went to knock the bear on the head again. "I just found out that you speak very explicitly, alas, mom, too, and the way you express it, it's really explicit!"

Siqi stood in front of the mirror, he looked left and right, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"What am I doing, am I crazy, oops! I don't think I'm in my right mind!"

He finally looked at Little Bear, laughed and said, "Stupid Bear, take a good look at the house, I think my brother should bear with me, my brother is going to go on a date with Sister Xiaoxi, bye!"

Siqi involuntarily left the room half-walking and half-jumping.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Siqi arrived at the café near the film academy on time.

He sat down on a booth on the side, and then, looking around, there was no sign of the stream.

Ordering a cup of coffee, he leaned back in the high-backed armchair and waited uneasily.

The café in the evening is lively.

A couple, some students, and some families of three with children sat scattered around. The piano is not lonely, a girl in a long red dress is playing a world-famous song there.

Siqi's eyes swept all the way to the door of the café, but there was no one.

Not that there was no one, but - without the presence of the person he was waiting for.

Thinking of that dramatic and turnaround afternoon, he accompanied his good friend to the acting department of A University to see his sister, who was in the same dormitory as Xiaoxi.

Thinking of Xiaoxi's stupid expression, Siqi couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Time passes minute by minute, and the time of anticipation is always long.

Thinking of his good friend's sister's words, Siqi's mood suddenly took on a layer of anxiety.

The boy chasing the creek is already standing in a row! Recently, from the United States on the other side of the ocean, another rich second generation has arrived. I heard that it is the son of an oil king.,And with the creek is a childhood sweetheart.。 When I was in the United States, the two of them were very good. Moreover, it has been approved by both parents.

Today, the guy who spends the money is here again.

Siqi, who got the information from her friend's sister, immediately called Xiaoxi and invited her.

I felt that Xiaoxi seemed to hesitate at the time, and besides, the voice sounded a little weak.

"What time?" she asked.

Siqi subconsciously looked at his watch, it was already seven o'clock.

"Eight-thirty o'clock, at the café near your dormitory!" he said in an affirmative tone, "We'll see you soon!" he said.

"Eight-thirty?"

Xiaoxi seemed to be thinking and hesitating, and at the same time, he heard someone next to his phone, as if it was her classmate in the dormitory, loudly reminding her:

"Xiaoxi, didn't that childhood friend of yours ask you to dance?"

"Shh

The voice on the other side of the phone was gone, and the phone seemed to be clouded by the stream.

For a while, Siqi became anxious, and the eagerness to see the stream became even stronger.

He felt that if he couldn't see Xiaoxi today, if she was really snatched away by that childhood sweetheart, then he might go crazy!

He couldn't contain the crazy impulse at that time, and he called out to his phone:

"Guo Xiaoxi! I'll tell you, I must see you tonight! I have something to say, don't find a reason to refuse me!"

"Li Siqi!" Xiaoxi interrupted him: "I'm not looking for a reason, I'm really in trouble......"

"I don't care if you're okay, today, I must see you! If you dare not come, I won't leave for a night!" After speaking, he turned off his mobile phone.

He didn't want to wait for that answer, and he was afraid to wait for that answer. He would rather wait for her with hope than listen to her without hope.

Now, he has been sitting in the café for more than half an hour, and there is still no shadow of the stream.

He took out his phone and looked at the avatar of Xiaoxi on the screen, he wanted to call again to ask, but he stubbornly pressed himself.

If she doesn't come, she and I will probably be finished, he said to himself.

But if she really didn't come, would he really end the chase? Will he? Before his eyes, the face of the brook appeared again, the cunning, the lovely, the girl with hundreds of variations, thousands of styles!

There was a sudden pain in his heart, and as time passed, his pain continued to expand, expand!

It's 9:30, and she's definitely not coming!

He had drunk many cups of coffee, and he had mentally pronounced the name of the creek thousands of times, and then he muttered:

"I'm done, I'm really done!" he hung his head, his face pale. "From the day I first saw her, I knew I was finished!"

A shadow suddenly hung over his head, and a familiar voice, small, low, timid, said:

"I'm coming!"

Li Siqi raised his head suddenly.

He could scarcely believe his ears and his eyes. He looked at the slim Guo Xiaoxi standing in front of him in a daze.

She changed her outfit, a white floor-length skirt, which made her petite figure more slender, and her long hair with smooth shoulders made her more ladylike and quiet.

She wore light makeup, her lips were red and bright, her eyes were jet black, her eyelashes were thick and long, and her skin was snow-white.

Oh my God, he took a breath, she was so beautiful, beautiful like a princess in a fairy tale! She was so holy, so holy like a spotless little angel!

"Hmm!"

He snorted.

Joy flowed through every pore of his body.

"You're here?!"

The frenzied excitement lifted every nerve in him, and he stared at her, not for a moment.

Guo Xiaoxi sat down across from him.

Is it because she's wearing makeup, or is it because she's changed her outfit? She doesn't look like she's gone at all. Not only that, she is still a little girl, shy, helpless, and even confused.

The smile on her lips was also forced, weak, with an inexplicable, pitiful taste.

What's the matter, her spirit is flying, what about her liveliness, how is she like a lost child at this moment?

"Y-have you waited for me for a long time?" she asked, her voice still low.

"Yes!"

He stared deeper at her, "Where are you from, school?" he asked.

"No!"

She shook her head.

"Do I look like I'm from school?" she asked, almost sadly, "I escaped from the ball." ”

He was shocked, glared at her, and was silent.

"Let me tell you something. "I was born in the United States, many years ago, when I was very young, I knew a boy named David, who was Chinese-American. ”

At this time, the waiter brought coffee, she unconsciously stirred the coffee with a small spoon, her eyes were fixed on the cup, and her eyelashes were drooping.

"His father was an oil magnate and a friend of mine for many years. It can also be said that our two families are world friends. Xiaoxi sighed lightly: "Naturally, since childhood, we have played together and gone crazy together. He protects me, accompanies me, and is like my big brother...... And his parents have long regarded me as their own daughter. ”

She paused, looking at the heat coming out of the cup, and her eyes gradually moistened.

"Just now, we danced together. ”

She paused again, in a quiet tone.

"He took over an entire floor of the ballroom. All the bands were just playing for a few of us. All the services are also just for a few of us. Some of my friends and some of his friends. We seem to be having a lot of fun and should be having fun, but I know you're here...... Wait here for me......"

She stopped, and looked up, her dark eyes filled with a layer of mist.

"All of a sudden, I felt very troubled, very uneasy, and the song you first hummed to me lingered in my ears...... I told David that I would go to the bathroom, and then I quietly went downstairs, called a taxi, and came all the way here. Now, I guess they're looking for me!"

Xiaoxi looked at him sadly, and a teardrop fell.

"You see, I'm ...... I don't want to come, but I ...... It's still coming. She said with some trembling.

Li Siqi met her gaze, his heart beating like a drum, and he reached out and held her hand.

Xiaoxi raised her head, and there was an embarrassed enthusiasm in her eyes.

"Why?" she asked, "Why do you like me?"

"Because ......"

Siqi stared at her, unable to take his eyes off her face.

He wanted to say a lot of things, but suddenly he felt very clumsy, clumsy and unable to speak, clumsy not knowing what to say.
