Everyone was silent, gradually engulfed by the sadness of separation.
Fu Shitian broke the silence, held Shi Yi's fingers and said, "Come here and watch together."
Jian Luhe hesitated: "Is it okay?"
Yin Fanlu replied briskly, "Of course. Why not?" After a pause, she deliberately joked, "Of course, it won't work if the starry sky instrument is broken. Shi Yi, how is the quality of your starry sky instrument?"
Shi Yi smiled faintly: "As long as you can come, it will never break down."
As they were talking, a meteor passed by in the sky. Jian Luhe suddenly had an idea and pointed at the meteor and said, "Make a wish. It works well to make a wish to a shooting star. I've made a wish before and it always came true."
Yin Fanlu suspected that she was drunk, otherwise she didn't look so innocent.
She teased her: "What wish did you make?"
Jian Luhe's face turned red in the dark. She hesitated but still said, "Give me a boyfriend like Suou Tamaki or Usui Takumi." Anyway, all his secrets would be exposed by Shi Yi tonight, so this one wouldn't matter.
Chen Xizhu and Yin Fanlu were stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing. Although Shi Yi and Fu Shitian didn't know who she was talking about, they probably guessed that it was a character like "Prince Charming" and laughed too.
Jian Lu and Xiu An were annoyed: "What are you laughing at? Haven't you ever had such a wish?"
Shi Yi, Fu Shitian, Yin Fanlu and Chen Xizhu said in unison: "No..."
Jian Luhe: “…”
Shi Yi made a mistake in focusing on the point: "So Deng Yiran meets all your expectations and standards? Are you so satisfied with him? I'll have a good chat with him next time I meet him?"
Jian Luhe was anxious, "You're talking nonsense. I didn't say that." She stood up and was about to cover Shi Yi's mouth. Shi Yi hid behind Fu Shitian. Fu Shitian protected Shi Yi and helped her block Jian Luhe's claws. He gently changed the subject, "Okay, let's stop making trouble. Don't you want to make a wish? The shooting stars are about to fall."
Jian Luhe didn't know the rules of the starry sky instrument, so she believed it and sat back in her seat. She looked up at the shooting stars in the sky, calmed down, turned her head to look at Shi Yi and the others, clasped her hands, really closed her eyes, and made a pious wish.
They were no longer naive children, but at this moment, everyone was moved by Jian Lu's serious figure. They accompanied her, looking at the shooting stars that were not even real, and made the most sincere wishes in their hearts:
Ten years later, we can still sit together like this.
Talking, laughing, and making noise.
Or maybe, we are really scattered all over the world and can never meet again.
I also hope that everyone is well.
After making a wish, the last song requested by the microphone was played, and the room fell into true silence. No one requested any more songs, and in this quiet atmosphere, they chatted casually.
I don’t know what they talked about or how long they talked, but Fu Shitian suddenly realized that Jian Luhe seemed to have not spoken to each other for a long time.
She turned around and saw Jian Luhe beside her, leaning on the sofa, with her head tilted and her eyes closed, already sleeping soundly.
"Luhe is asleep." She turned around and reminded everyone in a whisper.
Everyone's voices fell silent in unison.
Shi Yi looked at the watch, "It's almost twelve o'clock."
Yin Fanlu sat up, looking alert: "Then let's pack up here and go to sleep, shall we?"
Shi Yi nodded, and Fu Shitian continued: "It's okay, I'll take care of it here. You and Xizhu should see if you want to take a shower before going to bed."
Shi Yi agreed and remembered to ask them: "How are you going to sleep at night? There is a double bed in the guest room, which can sleep two people, and there is a folding bed in the study, which can also sleep two people."
Of course Chen Xizhu wanted to sleep alone. But before she could think of how to answer, Yin Fanlu answered before her: "Then Xizhu and I will sleep together. Luhe is already very sleepy, so we won't disturb her."
It was well-reasoned and very appropriate. Chen Xizhu couldn't think of any reason to refute it.
Shi Yi and Fu Shitian looked at her and Yin Fanlu also looked at her with a very gentle gaze. Somehow, Chen Xizhu agreed: "I can do anything."
Shi Yi and Fu Shitian exchanged glances, and both saw smiles in each other's eyes. Shi Yi decided: "Okay, then you two can sleep in the guest room. Shitian and I will tidy up here. If Lu and Zhongjian wake up, I will let her sleep in the study. If she doesn't wake up, it doesn't matter. Get a blanket and a pillow, and Shitian and I will sleep with her here."
Yin Fanlu and Chen Xizhu had no objections, but they did not go to the guest room right away. They stayed to help Shi Yi and Fu Shitian clean up the mess on the coffee table and blanket. During this time, Jian Luhe woke up, and they went to the study room with Shi Yi to put down the folding bed, made the bed, and watched Jian Luhe lie down before they hugged the change of clothes that Shi Yi had given them, said good night to each other, and went back to their rooms.
When they entered the guest room, there were suddenly only two people left. Chen Xizhu pretended to find a socket to charge his mobile phone, and glanced at Yin Fanlu out of the corner of his eye. He felt uncomfortable all over.
Yin Fanlu seemed quite casual, sitting on the bed, using a power bank.
I plugged in my phone and asked her, "Do you want to wash first or should I?"
Chen Xizhu gritted her teeth secretly, she couldn't lose to her. She plugged the data cable into the phone port and said in a natural tone: "I can do anything."
"Then you wash first." Yin Fanlu said. She saw that Chen Xizhu had put on makeup today, and was worried that she would feel uncomfortable after wearing makeup all day, so she wanted her to remove her makeup first.
Chen Xizhu had no objection, so he said "OK", and simply packed his clothes and went out to take a shower.
In the bathroom, she was rubbing bubbles with shampoo, and as she rubbed, she started pulling her hair.
Ah, how could it be like this! Didn't she say she had something to say in person?! I've been waiting for a whole night, and she said a lot of things, but there was not a single word I wanted to hear. Will she continue to talk? Chen Xizhu was both anxious and irritated.
She turned the faucet to the far right and used the cool water to cool her anxiety.
After taking a shower, she went back to the guest room to blow dry her hair. Watching Yin Fanlu go out to take a shower as if nothing had happened, she no longer had any expectations.
Forget it, you can say it or not. Just think of it as a farewell party for her tonight. She consoled herself. But thinking this way, inexplicably, her nose felt a little sour.
When Yin Fanlu finished her shower and returned to the guest room, the main lights in the room had been turned off, leaving only two dim bedside lamps on. Chen Xizhu was lying with his back to her, his long legs slightly bent, as if he had fallen asleep.
Yin Fanlu's eyes softened unconsciously and she closed the door more gently.
She walked in quietly, and instead of going directly back to her own side of the bed, she went around to Chen Xizhu's side of the bed and sat down.
Chen Xizhu couldn't help but hold his breath. His whole body was stiff and he didn't dare to move. Yet, mentally, he felt as if there were ten thousand ants crawling and making trouble.
Suddenly, Yin Fanlu's light laughter sounded in the air. Chen Xizhu tried to remain unchanged in the face of all changes, but Yin Fanlu exposed her: "I know you haven't slept yet."
Chen Xizhu's eyes rolled around under her eyelids. Yin Fanlu thought it was cute and stretched out her index finger to touch it.
Suddenly, Chen Xizhu opened his eyes, frowned and growled at her: "What are you doing?"
Three parts fierce, three parts impatient, and four parts aggrieved that Yin Fanlu could hear. After she finished yelling, her eyes were a little red.
Yin Fanlu paused with his hand in the air for a second, then his eyes softened and his hand fell on her cheek.
She rarely argued with her, but said gently: "I want to talk to you, can I?"
Chen Xizhu stared at her for two seconds, choked up, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, turned over and sat up. She restrained her emotions and spoke calmly.
He agreed coldly: "You tell me."
Yin Fanlu looked at her, closed her eyes, curled her five fingers on the bed sheet into a fist, mustered up her courage, and said bluntly: "Chen Xizhu, I like you."
A few light words fell into the air, piercing through all of Chen Xizhu's disguise like a needle piercing a balloon.
Chen Xizhu opened his eyes wide in surprise and was so shocked that he forgot to blink.
She had thought of many situations, but she had never thought that Yin Fanlu would be so direct.
After Yin Fanlu said it, she felt relieved and relaxed.
She looked straight at Chen Xizhu and continued, "I guess you must have felt it before. In fact, I never thought that I would like girls, but thinking that it is not easy to meet someone I have feelings for, I accepted it calmly. I was planning to confess my feelings to you on your birthday in May, but something changed suddenly and I found myself going abroad, so... I became hesitant again. After all, it might be useless to say it. Even if you can accept me, it will be difficult for an international relationship to last until the end."
Chen Xizhu tried hard to regain his consciousness: "Then why are you saying it now?"
"Because I feel I should still tell you that there is someone who likes you very much. I want you to know that you are a great, excellent and attractive girl. I don't want to have any regrets, and I don't want you to misunderstand and think that I was just making fun of you before." Yin Fanlu responded sincerely and frankly.
Chen Xizhu's voice gradually became hoarse: "So, you just want to say it, want to tell me. You don't need my response, right?"
Yin Fanlu's lips trembled, but no sound came out.
How could she not want a response? If it weren't for the current situation, she was sure that Chen Xizhu would agree to her. Now, she didn't need a response, but she was just self-aware and hoped that if Chen Xizhu didn't want to respond, she wouldn't have to feel burdened. Apart from confessing, she was willing to give all the remaining initiative to Chen Xizhu.
In the dim yellow light, she looked at Chen Xizhu with eyes that were gentle and sad, making Chen Xizhu feel that she was actually expecting his response.
Maybe it's an illusion, maybe... not.
If you really don't respond, don't take the initiative, we will go our separate ways tomorrow morning, and in this life... there is a possibility that we will never see each other again.
Chen Xizhu felt a tight pain in her chest. She scratched her fingertips, put aside all her reserve, and looked directly at Yin Fanlu, with tenderness and reluctance in her eyes that she could no longer conceal, accusing her: "You have no regrets after you said that, but what about my regrets?"
Yin Fanlu's eyelashes trembled, and she opened her lips to ask "what?"
"As soon as the word was uttered, Chen Xizhu's soft lips fell.
It was very soft and hot, like an electric shock, and every pore on my body was trembling. Yin Fanlu was stunned and could not react.
Chen Xizhu quickly stepped away, her eyes wet with nervousness and shyness, but she stared into Yin Fanlu's eyes and declared without blinking: "I want to be with you, I want to kiss you, I want to hug you, I want... you."
Time seemed to have been stopped and one could hear a pin drop in the room.
No one looked away, and no one spoke. Yin Fanlu's eyes grew hot, and her throat moved. Unable to control her emotions, she hugged the back of Chen Xizhu's head, leaned forward, and kissed her hard.
Chen Xizhu closed his eyes, hugged her waist, and responded to her unwillingly.
There were bumps and bruises, the kiss became deeper and deeper, the breathing became faster and faster, and the body became weaker. Yin Fanlu knelt on one leg and fell down naturally, pressing Chen Xizhu.
The nightgown was rolled up to her belly, and when she was about to accidentally fire, Chen Xizhu suddenly held Yin Fanlu's hand and said anxiously, "The sheets can't be dirty."
Yin Fanlu was stunned on the spot.
As if afraid that she would misunderstand that she was unwilling, Chen Xizhu hurriedly acted awkwardly and added in a low voice: "Wasn't it that you did that the first time? Are you going to let Si Tian wash it if it gets dirty? That would be too embarrassing." If so, she probably wouldn't be able to see anyone for the rest of her life.
Yin Fanlu understood what she was struggling with, and was stunned for a moment. Then, she curved her lips and smiled as she lay on top of her: "Why are you so cute?"
In fact, she hadn't intended to do that.
Chen Xizhu snorted twice and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't just smile."
Yin Fanlu couldn't stop laughing. He kissed her, sat up, and asked, "Did you bring your ID card?"
Chen Xizhu nodded subconsciously: "I brought it."
Yin Fanlu took her hand, rubbed her knuckles, and suggested carefully: "Shall we go? To the hotel?"
Her eyes, smiling at her, were so beautiful, like a clear spring rippling in them. Chen Xizhu felt like she was drowning in them, and could not think of refusing at all.
She heard herself answering, "Okay."
The author has something to say: In fact, in the end, the bed sheets were stained by Fan Lu.
Do you know what I mean, little cuties? Cover your face.
