Chapter 389: Favorability +5
In this era when even the government has begun to personally intervene in the divorce rate, love that lasts forever is as rare as the starry sky above your head.
But it is also fascinating.
Lu Songgao was dragged away by the enthusiastic villagers to have a carnival elsewhere.
Only Jiang Chen and Pei Yunxi were left sitting.
"Crackling..."
As the firewood burned, the firewood continued to make a slight sound.
Pei Yunxi rested his chin on his knees, hugged his legs, and stared at the gorgeous bonfire in a very easy-going manner.
Where can I look like a big star who is so popular?
“What are you thinking about?”
Jiang Chen asked softly.
He had the urge to take a picture of the scene with his mobile phone, but he resisted.
"Is it worth it, the leader of the village?"
Pei Yunxi looked at the bonfire and murmured, taking off all the halo, pillowing his knees, his voice was surprisingly soft, and he seemed to have forgotten The feud with this man.
Jiang Chen was silent for a while.
“I saw a news story. A couple had a car accident on the highway. The car burst into flames. The man driving the car was lucky enough to escape, but the wife was not so lucky. Seeing his wife buried in the flames, Ignoring the persuasion of others, this man ran all the way, just like he ran for his first date many years ago, he rushed into the fire without hesitation and chose to be buried without saying a word.
Jiang Chen picked up a piece of wood and threw it in.
“We who don’t understand the torment of love, hate, and hatred still think that committing suicide for love is just an ancient rumor.”
“Can you sing?”
"What?"
Jiang Chen didn't react very well.
Pei Yunxi still looked at the dancing flames, "Sing it to me."
"..."
Jiang Chen was speechless.
He can indeed sing this song, but in this situation, he is inevitably a little embarrassed.
“I only remember this lyric.”
He prevaricated.
Pei Yunxi tilted his head and looked at him for a while, but did not embarrass him.
“Come for a walk with me.”
? ? ?
Before Jiang Chen could react, she had already stood up.
Jiang Chen, who was not sure what was going on, didn't think much and quickly followed him.
The two gradually moved away from the lively crowd.
The sparse shadows slant across the clear and shallow water, and the faint fragrance floats in the moonlight at dusk.
The two of them walked silently and gradually arrived at the clear Luna Lake.
Jiang Chen was always two steps behind, looking at that touching figure without any charming thoughts, but he noticed that the other party was in a weird state at this time.
Suddenly.
Pei Yunxi stopped.
Jiang Chen, who was thoughtful, almost bumped into him. Fortunately, he was able to stop just when he was about to touch her. Otherwise, he would probably be called a pervert.
But at this time, what does it mean to take him away from the crowd and to such a remote place?
Are you really afraid of his animalistic nature?
It seems that the other party is still telling the truth. No matter how much he derogates him, he still knows his character in his heart.
Jiang Chen walked to the side and stood side by side with the woman.
The other party did not speak, and he remained silent.
At this time, whoever speaks first will lose the initiative first.
Both the man and woman were very patient. They just stood silently, as if posing, for four or five minutes.
“I can be with you.”
Suddenly.
Pei Yunxi finally spoke.
If you don't speak, it's fine. When you speak, it's astonishing.
“What?!”
Jiang Chen’s face was full of astonishment. He was not pretending, but he really didn’t expect it.
Pei Yunxi did not repeat himself, looking at the quiet and bright lake with an indifferent expression.
The Moon God’s descent to earth is probably nothing more than this.
“But you have to promise me a condition.”
Jiang Chen’s heart was filled with turmoil and a storm. His first reaction was to suspect that the other party was playing a trick on him.
However, looking closely at Pei Yunxi's expression, he could not see any signs of joking.
Even though he couldn't believe it and found it unbelievable, Jiang Chen still subconsciously asked, "What conditions?"
"You have to swear to the moon god that in this life, there will be no separation. ”
Jiang Chen was even more shocked.
This bitch.
Are you crazy?
Or have you been brainwashed by this village?
Swear?
What is the use of swearing?
This kind of rule can only restrain the people in the village.
It can be said that there are many people out there who are willing to curse their parents.
Oaths are worthless in the eyes of some people.
If it were another person, I'm afraid he would have knelt down at this time. This was Pei Yunxi. Don't say that he can't have another woman. No matter how vicious the oath was, he would probably not hesitate, but Jiang Chen Didn't do that.
Seeing that he was motionless, Pei Yunxi was not dissatisfied and turned around, "Don't you want to?"
This is indeed a very profound question.
For ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the people in the world, being able to have Pei Yunxi in their lives would probably be a life without regrets.
Jiang Chen also subconsciously considered this issue in an instant.
If he had encountered such an opportunity a year ago, he would definitely not have hesitated at all, just like the girl from Ling'er had just chosen him. The name Pei Yunxi represented everything. Whether or not there is an emotional basis is not important at all.
But this is not a year ago.
"My God, Moon, now is not the time to joke. I didn't mean it. But if you deliberately offend the Moon God, be careful that the Moon God really punishes you."
Jiang Chen squeezed out a smile An unnatural smile.
“Do you think I’m kidding?”
Pei Yunxi looked at him, her mesmerizing beautiful eyes, tranquil and indifferent.
Jiang Chen's forced smile froze.
“It’s not like that.”
Pei Yunxi looked at him. "Everyone has to go through this step. Although you are younger than me, you are in good condition in all aspects. You are rich and powerful. For me, it is a good choice."
What a blunt statement.
Logically speaking, one should be ecstatic to be praised so definitely by a stunning beauty, but Jiang Chen had mixed feelings in his heart and was not happy at all.
"As long as you agree, I can announce it to the outside world right away."
Pei Yunxi seems to be sincere.
Based on her character, or persona, once it is announced to the public, there is absolutely no room for maneuver.
After finally gaining some initiative, Jiang Chen found himself completely helpless. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
A smarter person would definitely agree at this time.
After all, it’s just an oath, not as easy as eating and drinking.
But Jiang Chen seemed to be very dull, just stupid and silent.
Pei Yunxi is not disappointed, nor does he seem surprised.
“My request is not too much, right?”
Jiang Chen’s lips moved, and finally he smiled bitterly, “It’s not too much.”
Don’t say that he is a dignified person. A big star, even an ordinary girl, who is single-minded, only has basic requirements for a partner.
Pei Yunxi suddenly smiled and looked at Jiang Chen in confusion.
He hadn't come back to his senses yet, and saw the other party sighing softly.
“Then it seems that we are only destined to be friends.”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
After looking at the scenery for a while, Pei Yunxi turned and left.
Jiang Chen did not follow.
After Pei Yunxi left, he looked at the quiet Luna Lake and was in a daze for a while. Then, as if he was losing his mind, the corners of his eyes twitched and he slapped himself.
“Bang!”
The crisp sound echoed far away in the still night.
This is really powerful.
“Idiot!”
Jiang Chen scolded with a smile.
The person he was scolding was none other than himself.
He finally figured it out. Pei Yunxi made a special trip to invite him here, and even made it known that he didn't really want to be with him at all, but that he was a guest and wanted to conquer his army!
Pei Yunxi knew that he had a girlfriend, and also knew that his relationship with Shi Qianqian was unclear. She probably knew that he would not be able to swear, so she acted like that on purpose.
The purpose is to put him in a morally weak position and then give up on her.
A good actor does not study acting skills, but instead studies the art of war.
Jiang Chen’s face twitched, and he couldn’t help but want to slap himself.
What are you worried about?
Just swear, just swear!
Countless people swear an oath every second, but how many people really suffer retribution?
If I had really sworn without hesitation just now, I’m afraid it would be the other party who was at a loss.
You are still too well-educated and not shameless enough.
Jiang Chen stood alone by the lake and sighed.
“Where is Mr. Jiang?”
Ning Hui asked when he saw Pei Yunxi coming back but not Jiang Chen.
“I’m enjoying the cool weather by the Moon God Lake.”
Pei Yunxi said lightly.
Cool?
Ning Hui was stunned for a moment and glanced in the direction of Luna Lake, "There are so many mosquitoes there."
"It's okay. He said he drank too much and wanted to get some air."
"What happened? You are so happy."
Ning Hui saw the raised corners of her mouth.
Pei Yunxi shook his head, "Mr. Jiang is really a good person."
Ning Hui was stunned and confused.
Weren’t we still having conflicts before?
Why are you praising others now?
And "what a nice guy"?
Why does this sentence sound so weird?
Pei Yunxi, who raised his lips slightly, did not explain. He sat down by the campfire again, picked up a piece of barbecue, and tasted it. He seemed to be in a good mood.
If Jiang Chen really swore just now, she really didn't know what to do.
But her judgment was correct.
Although the other party is fickle, he is not bad at heart.
Ning Hui was keenly aware that something must have happened when the two of them left alone. His heart was scratching his head, but he couldn't keep asking questions, so he could only suppress his curiosity.
After a while, Jiang Chen's figure reappeared.
“Mr. Jiang is back.”
Ning Huidao, who has been paying attention.
Pei Yunxi turned around and saw that the guy was very sensible and no longer came here, but walked towards Director Fei, but his figure looked a little lonely.
The corners of Pei Yunxi's eyes rose.
Ning Hui stood up and greeted him.
"Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Chen stopped, then subconsciously glanced in Pei Yunxi's direction, and found that the other party was also looking here.
He felt depressed inside and sighed again.
"Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with your face?"
Ning Hui looked at his red face in surprise.
“There are more mosquitoes.”
Jiang Chen explained as if nothing happened.
Judging from the intensity of his blush, I’m afraid he didn’t just slap himself.
"Oh."
Ning Hui didn't think much and invited: "Mr. Jiang, come sit with us."
"No."
< br>Jiang Chen forced a smile and shook his head. He was completely defeated. How could he have the nerve to pass at this time?
Ning Hui was left caught off guard. He turned around and walked towards the direction of the inspection team, but before he could sit down, he heard a mechanical sound.
[Pei Yunxi’s favorability towards you +5]
Jiang Chen was stunned and then smiled bitterly.
Is this a consolation prize?
