Chapter 38: Just an indirect kiss
“Uncle Gao.”
Chu Qingmian nodded and said hello.
She originally planned to let the three of them take the car back together, but they were unanimously rejected.
Xu Yang felt guilty and frightened by Uncle Gao's eyes.
Compared with the boy in the theater just now, Xu Yang looked taller and stronger. But now standing in front of Uncle Gao, he looked like a weak, pitiful and helpless little chicken.
The video of him confessing his love to Chu Qingmian in public has been circulated on the Internet. He doesn't dare to get in this car, maybe Uncle Gao will do it to him later.
Han Bing is not afraid of Uncle Gao. She and Chu Qingmian have played together since they were young, and the Chu family basically knows each other.
But her home is in a nearby community. It takes no more than five minutes to walk. Taking a car is a waste of time.
Only Su Chengyi refused for no particular reason. He simply didn’t want to.
It's not far from home, about twenty minutes away.
The weather is very good tonight and the moonlight is clear. He wants to go for a walk alone.
So in the end, Chu Qingmian was the only one left in the car. She rolled down the window and waved goodbye to the three of them.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I always feel like she’s been a little depressed since watching the movie.
Su Chengyi watched the car window slowly move up, completely blocking her face.
He wasn't used to standing there waiting for the car to drive away, so he decisively turned around and left before the car started.
The reason why I am not used to it is because I have seen this scene too many times when I was a child.
Every time, he stood there, waiting for Su Zelang or Yang Liu to get into the car bound for their new family and slowly disappear at the end of the road.
Even if I relive my life, the feeling of rejecting this scene in my heart is still hard to contain.
The main city area is still very lively at nine o'clock in the evening, with people coming and going. For them, the feasting nightlife has just begun.
But after walking for a while and turning a few small alleys into the old city, the surrounding area became quiet.
Although there are not many people on the street, the lights of every household in the residential building are still on.
Most of the people living here are the elderly and children. At this point, they should gather together to watch TV, the last entertainment activity before going to bed.
When I used to live in this two-bedroom apartment with Su Zelang and Yang Liu, the three of them would have to argue every night during prime time TV.
Su Zelang wanted to watch football games and news, and he was often the first to grab the remote control.
"Show me today, today's game is crucial, I am live broadcasting..."
"CCTV, CCTV, hello viewers, we are now..."
And Yang Liu I'm chasing classic bloody soap operas,
"Don't bother, we got to the most critical plot yesterday. I was so frustrated just because of today. I want to watch Pinru's revenge!"
"For All the pain of persistent love, the pain of all persistent hatred..."
Su Chengyi was thinking about the cartoons on the children's channel.
"It was so dangerous yesterday. Can Luoluo and Hot Wheels escape safely?"
"Thunder Half Moon Slash!"
......
From Pulling away from the memories, Su Chengyi raised his head and looked at the moon.
The alley was filled with sycamore trees, which had not yet sprouted new buds. The moonlight dappled through the branches, stretching his shadow very long.
It turns out that the relationship that was torn to pieces in the end had its good times at the beginning.
Unfortunately, there are many good things in the world that are not strong and the colorful clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is brittle.
What a pity.
Su Chengyi didn’t know where her feelings of sadness for spring and autumn came from, but maybe the loneliness after the excitement would double the negative emotions in her heart.
When he walked downstairs, he suddenly saw the pot of flowers still blowing the cold wind on the balcony. He quickly ran upstairs in three steps at a time.
Fortunately, the flowers looked no different from the morning, they still looked like they were dying.
Despite this, it is very rare not to die directly.
I vaguely remember the pot of cactus I raised when I was a child. When it finally grew, it was completely hollow inside, leaving only a prickly shell.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Su Chengyi clicked on WeChat so as not to miss the school notification.
As expected, Li Lu made an announcement in the group that she would continue to rest tomorrow morning and return to school on time in the afternoon.
It means you can sleep in.
The name of the four-person discussion group was changed to "The Team to Conquer the Universe", so that the second grader would know who changed it without even looking at the name.
Xu Yang: "Has everyone arrived home? Check that you are safe." Han Bing: "Not yet. I had some skewers at the gate of the community."
Attached is a photo of the kebab stall.
Xu Yang: "Holy crap! Why are you eating alone! You didn't even ask me to treat you to something."
Xu Yang: "This looks delicious."
Second shift monitor: "We're here."
Xu Yang: "Where's Mr. Yi? He's missing, right?"
I hit him several times in a row.
Xu Yang: "It's over, I'm really missing."
Han Bing: "I just didn't check my phone. You are sick. Why did the criminal tie up a man?"
Xu Yang: "What do you know? Boys should protect themselves outside!"
Seeing this, Su Chengyi typed a reply.
"We're here, we just went to take a shower."
Xu Yang: "OK, then I'm relieved."
Xu Yang: "After all, what happened to the bureau I organized? , I have to be arrested.”
Han Bing: “Why are you so eager for something to happen to us?”
The two of them chatted so passionately that Chu Qingmian only replied. I fell silent when I got home, which was a bit abnormal.
If it was just because I picked up the wrong milk tea cup, it would be a bit too much of a reaction, right?
Let’s find an excuse to talk about it.
After careful consideration, Su Chengyi found the chat box of the second class monitor.
“Actually, the sweet-scented osmanthus wine is not particularly unpleasant to drink.”
……
Is there a worse opening line than this?
Su Chengyi raised his hand and pressed it on his forehead. Just as he was about to withdraw and resend, the other party sent a message back.
"...When did you find out?"
Recalling it, Su Chengyi answered truthfully:
"About halfway through the movie, I picked it up and took a sip. , it feels wrong, too sweet.”
"Why didn't you tell me I took the wrong one?"
"You were holding the cup in your arms."
"..."
"I want to find a chance to change it. There is no way to go back.”
“……”
After a moment of silence, Chu Qingmian sent another message to explain:
“I was so absorbed in watching it that I didn’t notice it after taking a few sips. I didn’t mean to take the wrong one!”
Of course he knew this. At that time, he felt that Chu Qingmian's reflex arc was too long and he didn't react at all.
After thinking about it, Su Chengyi still didn’t think it was a big deal, so he replied comfortingly:
“It’s okay, it’s just a small matter, you don’t need to take it to heart.”
Chu Qingmian's status fluctuated several times between "The other party is typing..." and "Second shift monitor", and finally only sent an emoticon.
A rabbit holds a carrot cut into o and k shapes.
This should be considered okay, right?
But as the saying goes, "Send Buddha to the West", since you have decided to say it, you must make it clear.
Su Chengyi thought for a while and added another sentence.
"Or do you still feel embarrassed?"
Chu Qingmian quickly replied:
"No."
It's not embarrassing anymore, just a little sad. .
Chu Qingmian buried her face in her rabbit doll, trying to figure out where her inexplicable emotions came from.
Unexpectedly, Su Chengyi quickly sent a message:
"That's good. It's just an indirect kiss."
? ? ? ? ?
Did this guy do it on purpose? ? Does he know what he's talking about? ?
At this moment, Chu Qingmian’s brain was shutting down on the other side of the city.
