How could Ruan Qiuping dare to let her kiss him? Not to mention that the note left by Xia Fushui was still warm, he had no idea how powerful the act of "kissing the God of Bad Luck" was.
Thinking of this, Ruan Qiuping turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yuhuan, his brows tightly furrowed, a little worried.
As she cried, Ruan Dongdong's voice became smaller and smaller. After all, she was young and her energy was not very high. After more than ten minutes, she grabbed Ruan Qiuping's clothes, tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and fell asleep sobbing.
If it was somewhere else, Ruan Qiuping could have used magic to clean off the mud on Ruan Dongdong and then moved her to the bed to sleep. But now that the human Yu Huan was still around, Ruan Qiuping didn't dare to use magic to expose his identity, so he had to ask the maid in Yu Huan's house to help clean Ruan Dongdong, change her into a clean thick dress, and finally put her on the bed on the second floor, letting her continue to sleep.
As soon as Ruan Dongdong was settled, Ruan Qiuping turned around and carefully looked at Xiao Yuhuan from head to toe. Xiao Yuhuan looked healthy, without pale lips, sweating all over, or any confusion or shakiness.
But even so, he was still a little worried and asked, "How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Yuhuan shook his head.
Ruan Qiuping continued to ask: "Feel it again. Do you really not feel any discomfort at all? For example, dizziness, nausea, and sudden weakness... It's the feeling of being haunted by bad luck."
Xiao Yuhuan felt it carefully, then shook his head again and said, "No."
… This doesn’t make sense.
Even though only one tenth of his bad luck remained after Ruan Qiuping came down to earth, Xiao Yuhuan just kissed him, so how could he be completely fine
Unless Sima Ming deceived him.
It seems that the bad luck he instilled in Zang Yunqiu at that time was not even one tenth of Yu Huan's good luck. But Siming lied to him and said that he had neutralized Yu Huan's luck and turned him into an ordinary mortal.
Ruan Qiuping gritted his teeth in hatred.
It turns out that the God of Fortune is still a super lucky guy after he came down to earth. He is so lucky that Ruan Qiuping's bad luck has no effect on him at all.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuhuan asked, "Are you afraid that your bad luck will spread to me
Ruan Qiuping nodded: "But it's strange that you don't seem to be infected by me at all."
Ruan Qiuping paused for a moment and continued, "Maybe it's because you are too lucky, which has covered up all my bad luck."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuhuan lowered his head and was silent for a while, then said, "... It could also be that I am an extremely unfortunate person. Because I am so unfortunate, even the bad luck you passed on to me seems insignificant."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ruan Qiuping retorted, "How can you be unlucky!"
He did not allow the God of Good Luck to say that he was unfortunate, as this was an insult to the God of Bad Luck and the whole world!
Xiao Yuhuan seemed to want to smile, but before the smile appeared, it slowly faded away.
He lowered his head and asked, "You never touch your sister... Is it because you are afraid of infecting her with your bad luck?"
Ruan Qiuping turned to look at Xiao Yuhuan and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Do you think I'm hopelessly superstitious?"
Ruan Qiuping thought it was normal for Xiao Yuhuan, a mortal, not to understand these things, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yuhuan shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "I just think you must love your sister very much... But, but I made your sister cry, do you... do you already hate me?"
"You must really hate me..." Xiao Yuhuan lowered his head and muttered to himself, "... because I am annoying to begin with."
"Who said you were annoying? Who said that?"
If the lucky god is annoying, then no one in the world will be liked.
Ruan Qiuping walked over and gently tapped little Yu Huan's head, saying with a smile: "How can a child have so many thoughts? Not only do I not hate you, I should thank you."
"Thank me?" Xiao Yuhuan looked up at Ruan Qiuping, somewhat curious.
Ruan Qiuping thought for a moment and said, "Well... Thank you for touching me and kissing me, but I didn't get infected with the bad luck. I didn't fall down while walking, nor did I suddenly get sick and faint. I looked like a normal person."
Xiao Yuhuan blinked: "Thank me for this?"
"Well, thank you for not getting into trouble because of me."
Ruan Qiuping suddenly wanted to hug little Yuhuan.
He had fantasized about hugging others countless times in his life, but this time, he did not suppress it.
He half-knelt on the ground, stretched out his hands, and hugged little Yuhuan tightly in his arms.
Little Yuhuan's body is very small, soft and warm.
Ruan Qiuping rubbed his cheek against Xiao Yuhuan's soft black hair and said softly.
"And thank you... for letting me hug you."
Xiao Yuhuan blinked slowly, his face and ears turned red.
He stretched out his two little hands and carefully placed them on Ruan Qiuping's back.
"Woo..." Ruan Dongdong on the bed suddenly uttered a mumbling sound.
“Bang!”
Almost at the same moment, Xiao Yuhuan saw Ruan Qiuping pushing him away, and immediately stood up and turned his head to look at the bed -
Then, Ruan Qiuping let out a long sigh of relief: "Huh - fortunately he didn't wake up."
Otherwise, he would probably make a fuss again when he saw him holding little Yu Huan.
Xiao Yuhuan: “…”
Xiao Yuhuan stood up silently, pointed to the marks on his head left by the mud balls, and said, "I'm going to wash my hair."
Ruan Qiuping said: "Just in case, sprinkle more salt on yourself before washing your hair, sprinkle more."
Yu Huan nodded, then he took out a set of clothes from another room and handed it to Ruan Qiuping: "You have a lot of mud spots on your body too."
Ruan Qiuping compared the clothes and said, "Whose clothes are these? They fit me well."
"… My father's, except he never wore it. It's new."
Ruan Qiuping nodded.
Suddenly, he remembered something. He glanced at Ruan Dongdong who was still sleeping on the bed, then glanced at the pink suit on Ruan Dongdong. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Whose clothes is Ruan Dongdong wearing? It can't be yours."
"No, it belongs to the cook's daughter."
"How old is the cook's daughter? This dress looks quite new." Ruan Qiuping asked casually.
"The same age as me." said little Yuhuan.
"Oh." Ruan Qiuping nodded.
It was not until Xiao Yuhuan had left the room and walked into the bathroom to wash his hair that Ruan Qiuping suddenly reacted.
Wait! The cook’s daughter! She’s the same age as Xiao Yuhuan! And they live in the same villa!
What's this
This is Qingmei, Zhuma!!!
Just then, the sound of a car was heard downstairs.
Ruan Qiuping walked to the window to look.
The car stopped and a woman came out, holding a little girl's hand, and took out a basket of vegetables from the trunk.
Apparently, these are the cook and her daughter.
Ruan Qiuping stuck his head out and took another closer look.
The little girl was very pretty and tender, and although she was dressed simply, she exuded liveliness.
Ruan Qiuping immediately pictured a bright future in his mind.
He is a lonely young master from a wealthy family with exquisite looks and superior intelligence.
She is the lively and smart, but lowly daughter of a cook.
They have different identities, but they are connected in spirit.
They love each other, but cannot overcome the gap of reality.
The shattered first love in youth, and the reunion that lasts forever many years later.
She no longer felt inferior, and he was no longer timid.
They held hands and promised to be together forever in the next life.
Life is long, but when they are together, every day is sweet.
She died of old age and rests in peace.
He followed it, but rose to the sky.
"Cook's daughter, even if I have to go to hell or see the ten kings of hell, I will find you!"
—"Yu Huan, do you still remember the engagement on your Heavenly Marriage Stone?"
—"What's the point of an engagement? I won't marry anyone except the cook's daughter. I'll take the forty-nine thunderbolts!"
Thinking of this, Ruan Qiuping was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and he slapped his thigh excitedly:
It’s stable! It’s stable!!!
Ruan Qiuping was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan at this moment, fearing that this little red thread would ruin Yu Huan's marriage in the mortal world.
"Ruan Ruan." Yu Huan suddenly scratched his chest, looking a little confused, "Why do I feel a little uncomfortable... Does this blessed red thread have any special function..."
Ruan Qiuping's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Yu Huan blinked: "I feel uncomfortable everywhere... What on earth will this red line do to people?"
Ruan Qiuping immediately became a little uneasy. He didn't know how to explain to Yu Huan, and finally said haltingly: "This... This is a blessed marriage thread. I'm not sure about the details, but I heard that two people entangled by this thread will develop strange feelings for each other..."
"What strange feelings?"
Ruan Qiuping suddenly remembered the movie that he and Yu Huan watched by mistake when they came to the mortal world yesterday.
Suddenly, he stuttered even more: "... love between men... love between men and women."
Yu Huan leaned closer, his long eyelashes fluttered slightly, his eyes were clear and bright, innocent and naive: "Does Ruan Ruan also have such feelings for me?"
Ruan Qiuping almost felt that Yu Huan's eyelashes were about to brush against his cheek. He held his breath involuntarily, leaned back a little, and said, "I... I didn't, I'm immune to this."
"Why?" Yu Huan frowned, looking a little hurt, "Doesn't Ruan Ruan like me?"
Ruan Qiuping: "... Of course I like you, but not this kind of love... Xiao Yuhuan, calm down, you, you are not quite right now."
"What's wrong?" Yu Huan moved closer to him.
"Everything is wrong, this is not right!" Ruan Qiuping wanted to reach out and push Yu Huan, but failed. In fact, his elbow slipped accidentally and he fell on his back on the sofa.
Yu Huan approached him, pressed him down, and said, "Ruan Ruan said she wanted to like me more. Is Ruan Ruan not keeping her word now?"
"… How could I not keep my word?" Ruan Qiuping retorted in a low voice.
"Since Ruan Ruan said that she wants to like me more, then Ruan Ruan should just transform her feelings for me into a relationship between a man and a woman. Why are you resisting so much now?"
Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes wide: "You, what nonsense are you talking about, this... how can this be changed at will, and you said that it was a love between a man and a woman, but we are obviously two men..."
"But Ruan Ruan, you clearly know that men can also be together." The water waves in Yu Huan's eyes rippled, and seemed to gradually sink, becoming rich and deep, "Ruan Ruan and I can do everything except not having children."
Yu Huan lowered his head, and rubbed his slightly cool nose against Ruan Qiuping's face, his expression was ambiguous: "... Ruan Ruan, do you want to try it with me?"
Ruan Qiuping's whole body froze.
As Yu Huan got closer and closer, his warm breath fell on Ruan Qiuping's skin. His brain was blank as if it was frozen, but his chest was as hot as magma. His heart was beating uncontrollably and almost bursting through his throat.
At the last moment, he closed his eyes tightly in bewilderment.
one.
two.
three.
Ruan Qiuping only felt his body sink, and Yu Huan's head fell down.
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes in confusion, only to see Yu Huan sleeping on him with his eyes closed. Not far away, Qi Yue was standing beside him with a gloomy face.
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
For some reason, Ruan Qiuping felt his face suddenly getting hot. He pushed Yu Huan up and made him lean against the sofa, then stood up himself and hurriedly straightened his clothes.
"Ahem... Senior Qiyue, why are you here?"
"The bracelet detected that you used a magic weapon. What is it?"
Ruan Qiuping: "… The red string of Yue Lao. I ran into Yue Lao today and he forced it on me. And I accidentally used it this time."
"Just because of a mere red line, you're lying here ready to do something illegal?" Qi Yue said almost gritting his teeth, and put extra emphasis on the word "illegal".
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
Ruan Qiuping frowned and explained: "It was just an accident, and Yu Huan was controlled by the red line, I couldn't push him away..."
"You can't push him away?" Qi Yue said sarcastically, "Ruan Qiuping, you are a deity, and you tell me you can't push a mortal away?!"
Ruan Qiuping: "… I didn't have time to react."
"You didn't have time to react so you closed your eyes?! Ruan Qiuping, remember this, this is a practical course at Siming College, not a place for you to talk about love!"
Ruan Qiuping felt his whole face burning up. He looked at the aggressive Qi Yue in front of him and shouted with a red face, "How could I be in love? Who did you see me in love with? Don't spit blood on me. I told you it was an accident. Why are you so talkative? If you have the guts, report it to the teacher. It's just writing a self-criticism. Who's afraid of who? I wrote it! Do you need to keep criticizing me here?"
Anyway, after a few days of practical courses, he finally realized that among all the courses in heaven, Siming was the most difficult. No matter what mistakes you made, you just had to write a self-review, write a self-review, and write a self-review. What was there to be afraid of? !
Qi Yue took a deep breath and seemed to calm down.
He looked up at Ruan Qiuping and said coldly, "Ruan Qiuping, there is something I think you need to know."
Ruan Qiuping glanced at him with a rather disdainful expression: "What's the matter?"
"You seem to have completed the record assignment for this course most seriously in the entire class, but your grade will be the worst."
Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Qi Yue glanced at Yu Huan on the sofa, and twitched the corner of her lips slightly, saying with some sarcasm: "Because it doesn't match the facts."
… is not true? How can it be not true
Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt a little uneasy.
"There is one more thing." Qi Yue waved his right hand, and the red line that had disappeared from Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan's wrists reappeared and lightly fell into Qi Yue's palm.
"What's going on again?"
The red thread of Yue Lao is only useful to mortals, useless to immortals, and also useless to immortals who have come down to earth to experience tribulations.
"never mind."
Qi Yue did not tell Ruan Qiuping about this. He pinched the red thread with his index finger and turned it into ashes. Then he left a sentence "Take care of yourself" to Ruan Qiuping and turned away.
Ruan Qiuping looked at his back and frowned.
… inexplicable.
Ruan Qiuping looked at Yu Huan who was sleeping on the sofa, and his uneasiness became more and more serious.
He scratched his hair in annoyance, then rummaged through the drawers to find some ice water to drink.
But when he opened the refrigerator, he found that Yu Huan's refrigerator was not powered on, and there was no food in it, but it was full of miscellaneous items.
Yes, Yu Huan is a student. Although he rests in this apartment at night, he eats all his meals in the school cafeteria, so he naturally does not need a refrigerator.
Ruan Qiuping casually moved the sundries around and found a dice cup in the innermost compartment of the refrigerator. The outer edge of the cup seemed to have been polished to a shine.
Could it be that Yu Huan would play dice when he had nothing to do
Ruan Qiuping really didn’t understand. According to Xiao Yuhuan’s luck, he must have gotten six every time. What was so fun about that
Ruan Qiuping felt that he didn't quite understand Yu Huan's train of thought. He put the dice cup back to its original place, and seeing that there was no ice water here, he put on his coat and went downstairs to buy himself some water.
After buying the ice water, Ruan Qiuping drank most of the bottle on the spot.
The ice water was so cold that it instantly made his head hurt.
He closed his eyes and relaxed for a while, but still felt that the irritation in his heart was difficult to calm down.
Suddenly, Ruan Qiuping seemed to hear Yu Huan calling him.
Ruan Qiuping opened his eyes and heard another shout.
It turned out that he had heard correctly.
Ruan Qiuping turned his head to look at the direction where the sound came from, only to see Yu Huan running out in slippers and a single layer of clothes with a pale face.
Seeing Ruan Qiuping, Yu Huan breathed a sigh of relief and ran over in a panic. Yu Huan's face was extremely pale, but his eyes were red.
Yu Huan seemed to want to hug him, but he didn't know what he was worried about, so he didn't do it. He just asked anxiously, "Ruan Ruan... where did you go?"
Ruan Qiuping raised the water in his hand: "I came out to buy a bottle of ice water, what's wrong?"
"I thought I thought you left."
Seeing that Yu Huan's lips were blue from the cold, Ruan Qiuping quickly took off her clothes and put them on him: "What are you thinking about? Why would I leave so suddenly?"
"I thought you hated me." Yu Huan smiled with relief. He was clearly smiling, but tears suddenly fell. He said in a hoarse voice: "I thought... because of what I did to you... so you hated me...
Ruan Qiuping felt extremely soft-hearted when she saw Yu Huan crying. She had been like this since she was a child.
He hurriedly reached out to wipe Yu Huan's tears: "I will not hate you, never, and you were just affected by the red string that was consecrated. It's okay now, the red string has been untied."
"The red thread... has been untied?"
Ruan Qiuping nodded.
Yu Huan's eyes flickered and he said, "Ruan Ruan...if...if I wasn't influenced by the red thread, and I took the initiative to do those things to you...would you hate me?"
"How could that be?" Ruan Qiuping said, "What did you do to me? You didn't do anything to me."
"But I almost..."
"You almost kissed me?" Ruan Qiuping smiled.
He suddenly reached out his hand, held Yu Huan's face, and kissed him on the cheek, smiling in an indescribably warm way: "What's the matter?"
Yu Huan covered his cheeks with his hands and smiled at Ruan Qiuping.
Suddenly, a white snowflake fell on Ruan Qiuping's head. Yu Huan stretched out his hand and looked up at the sky. His smile was purer than the snowflakes: "Ruan Ruan, look, it's snowing."
Ruan Qiuping looked at the clean and bright smile on Yu Huan's face, and the uneasiness in his heart grew inch by inch, almost swallowing him up.
The nights in heaven are mostly clear. Ruan Qiuping sat at the desk and flipped through the thick notebook.
Only then did Ruan Qiuping realize that in the records of the previous ten days, Si Ming would only write "read" every time he corrected his papers, and never gave him a score or wrote any comments.
… What went wrong
When Ruan Qiuping descended to the mortal world the next day, it was midsummer in the mortal world, and it was exactly the evening before Yu Huan's college entrance examination.
Yu Huan's grades have always been top in the city, so there was no problem for him to be admitted to the best university in the country, University A.
But even so, when Yu Huan proposed to go out and play with Ruan Qiuping, Ruan Qiuping still refused.
Ruan Qiuping knocked on Yu Huan's head and said, "What are you thinking about, college entrance examination candidate? You have an exam tomorrow, why are you still playing today?"
"But I waited for a year, and finally you came." Yu Huan seemed a little depressed.
"But I come here every year, but the college entrance examination only happens once."
“… Can’t I still repeat the grade?” Yu Huan retorted in a low voice.
"Do you still want to repeat the year?" Ruan Qiuping narrowed his eyes.
Yu Huan: "No, I just think it's okay to not study for a day, it won't affect my exams."
"The closer we get to the exam, the more we must not slack off." Ruan Qiuping tapped on the desk a few times and said, "Start studying. I'll be watching you here. I want to see how good students study."
"Ruan Ruan is not studying well?" Yu Huan took out a notebook from his schoolbag.
“It’s okay that I’m not good at studying, but sometimes… when others tell me that I did something wrong, I just can’t figure out what went wrong.”
“Is it a math problem?”
"No, it's something else." Ruan Qiuping looked at the photo of A University on Yu Huan's desk and asked, "Why do you like A University?"
Yu Huan looked up at the photo and said with a smile, "Because it is the best school in the country."
"Is it just because of this?"
"This is the most important reason. After all, I also want to prove myself to some people." Yu Huan paused and looked at Ruan Qiuping. "And I heard that there is a delicious bakery in A University. Ruan Ruan, when you come next year, I will take you there."
"Okay." Ruan Qiuping was a little expectant.
Yu Huan sat at the desk and began to study, and Ruan Qiuping also took a book and sat next to him to read.
Time flows quietly.
There are cicadas chirping outside the window.
The room was very quiet, and the only sound was the scratching of the pen on the paper.
Ruan Qiuping felt that everything was fine.
The weather was clear yesterday, but it suddenly rained heavily in the morning of the college entrance examination.
Ruan Qiuping called a taxi to take Yu Huan to the examination room, but unexpectedly the taxi broke down on the way.
Fortunately, Yu Huan's examination room is not far from here, and there is plenty of time, so there is no need to worry about being late.
Ruan Qiuping and Yu Huan got out of the taxi and walked towards the test site holding an umbrella together.
Yu Huan suddenly leaned over to Ruan Qiuping's ear and said, "Ruan Ruan, I will be 18 next month."
Ruan Qiuping's eyes lit up: "Then next time I come, you will be an adult, and then you can go drinking with me! I haven't tasted the wine here yet!"
"Besides drinking, I have something more important to do." Yu Huan's eyes sparkled.
"What's the matter?" Ruan Qiuping was very curious.
“You’ll find out next year.”
When Yu Huan smiled, his eyes seemed to be filled with starlight.
The rainstorm became even more severe, accompanied by strong winds that poured down in torrents. The large umbrella was blown all over the place by the wind, almost completely blocking the two people's view in front of them.
The raindrops hit the umbrella, crackling and making a lot of noise.
"Yu Huan, are you wet? How about we find another taxi?"
Ruan Qiuping looked up at Yu Huan, only to find that Yu Huan's face had turned pale in an instant, and his pupils had shrunk instantly. With a sharp brake, Yu Huan suddenly stretched out his hand and violently pushed Ruan Qiuping out.
The sound of heavy rain, brakes, and screams.
The blood was washed away by the water and turned into a red river.
"Hey, I heard that he was a college entrance examination candidate. How could he be so unlucky that an accident happened on this day."
"It's such a wide road, and there were only these two people walking on the road within a hundred meters. How could they just happen to bump into each other? How pitiful..."
Two nurses were whispering next to the operating room. When they saw Ruan Qiuping coming over, they hurriedly stopped talking.
Ruan Qiuping was soaked, and the rain dripped onto the ground along with his blood, leaving a pool of pink water stains on the white tiles of the hospital.
His body was trembling slightly, and his right arm was shaking more obviously. The bracelet had been flattened by the stone, and there was a long scratch on his wrist. The blood had corroded the bracelet to a charred color, and it stuck tightly to his flesh.
He wanted to use magic to heal Yu Huan, but his weak magic was of no use to Yu Huan's injuries.
He wanted to break the bracelet and use all his strength to save Yu Huan, but he couldn't break the bracelet.
He cut his wrist and tried to corrode the bracelet with his own blood, but failed.
It was the first time that Ruan Qiuping realized so clearly what an incompetent waste he was.
The operating room door was opened and the doctor came out to inform the public of the situation.
Ruan Qiuping hurried over: "... Doctor... Doctor... How is it?"
"The patient's condition was very bad. There was infection and tissue necrosis in the leg, and amputation was necessary."
Ruan Qiuping stood there, almost unable to believe what he heard. He said tremblingly: "... No, no, look again... This is not right... He... He is not an ordinary person. He has always been very lucky. It is impossible for him to suffer such a thing..."
"Do you think Yu Huan is lucky?"
With a sneer, a familiar-looking boy suddenly walked over from the end of the corridor.
It’s Yu Fan.
Yu Huan's younger brother.
"Are you kidding? How can he have good luck? Don't you know that this unlucky star was kicked out of the house by my grandfather when he was young because of his bad luck?"
Ruan Qiuping's whole body froze, as if dozens of thunderbolts were striking him simultaneously.
"dislike."
"What should I call you then?"
"I think it's fine if you call me brother."
Now that Ji Shen doesn't call him brother, how can he ever have the chance to hear Ji Shen call him brother in the future? !
"But you already have a sister who calls you brother, so I don't want to call you the same as your sister." Xiao Yuhuan said as he walked forward, "I might as well call you Pingping, Qiuqiu, Ruanruan..."
Xiao Yuhuan paused, turned his head and looked at Ruan Qiuping, his eyes brightened: "Ruan Ruan sounds good, I'll call you Ruan Ruan!"
Ruan Qiuping narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly: "Do you want a beating?"
"Ruan Ruan Ruan Ruan Ruan!" Little Yu Huan shouted a few times, then ran away with a smile.
Ruan Qiuping ran up to chase him, and when she was about to catch up with him, Xiao Yuhuan suddenly reached out and held Ruan Qiuping tightly.
Little Yuhuan was still running, running very fast. He slowly closed and opened his eyes. He seemed to be looking ahead, but he didn't know what exactly he was looking at. He seemed a little confused, but also a little expectant. He was like a bird that had just flown out of a cage. He didn't know where to fly, but he was happy after all because he was out of the cage.
Ruan Qiuping turned his head away and said nothing more. He just held Xiao Yuhuan's hand tightly and ran forward together.
After turning a corner, there is a bus stop ahead.
There was a sky blue bus parked next to the station, seemingly preparing to leave.
Xiao Yuhuan sped up again and pulled Ruan Qiuping in before the car door closed.
Ruan Qiuping looked up at the unfamiliar place name on the car window and asked breathlessly: "...Where are you going?"
Xiao Yuhuan's cheeks were red from running. He took a breath and rested for a few seconds, then looked up at the logo on the car window and shook his head: "I... I don't know either."
The two of them simultaneously reached out their hands to wipe the sweat from their cheeks, then they looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.
"You can pay by coin, card or code. It's two dollars and fifty dollars per person and five dollars for two people," the driver reminded them.
etc…
Ruan Qiuping touched his pocket and remembered that he had spent all his money before.
Just then, Xiao Yuhuan took out a thick wallet from his pocket, which was full of checks and various banknotes.
Ruan Qiuping had never seen so much money before: "… Why do you, a kid, carry so much money with you?"
If he remembered correctly, Xiao Yuhuan was supposed to attend a banquet. Could it be that the theme of banquets in the human world is to throw money
"Because I don't know when you will come." Xiao Yuhuan took out a banknote and said, "I just brought enough money so that I can go and play with you no matter where you show up."
"Where can we go to have fun that requires so much money?" Ruan Qiuping found an empty seat and sat down.
"There are many places to go." After paying the fare, Xiao Yuhuan sat next to Ruan Qiuping. "When you were away, I thought of many plans. I wanted to go to the beach with you to pick up shells, and I also wanted to go to the mountains with you to watch the sunset. I wanted to watch a movie with you, and I also wanted to go to a big meal with you. I have so many things I want to do with you."
"But now we are not collecting shells or watching the sunset. We are just sitting on a bus that we don't know where it is going and where we will get off."
"But it's good this way." Xiao Yuhuan opened the car window a little, and the winter wind blew in, bringing in extremely fresh air. The sun had already set, but the west was stained with a gentle blue-purple color.
Xiao Yuhuan and Ruan Qiuping looked at the beautiful sky together and said, "I think it's better now than going to the beach or the mountains. It's great to go anywhere and do anything with you."
Xiao Yuhuan closed the window and turned to look at Ruan Qiuping, his eyes clear as if reflecting light: "Ruan Ruan, you should be able to stay here for about 29 hours. 29 hours is a long time. We can do many things. We even have a whole day and most of the night tomorrow... Let's calculate, it's seven o'clock in the afternoon now. We can go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening, and then get up early tomorrow morning, just in time to watch the sunrise. Ruan Ruan, you have heard of the sunrise on Feijing Bridge..."
"Well, Xiao Yuhuan..." Ruan Qiuping interrupted him, scratched his head and said, "There are not twenty-nine hours left."
Xiao Yuhuan blinked and asked in confusion: "What?"
"I actually came this morning, but I saw you went to sleep in the cabin, so I didn't disturb you. So to be precise now..." Ruan Qiuping looked down at his watch and said, "There are still twenty hours and ten minutes."
Xiao Yuhuan was stunned and said blankly: "That means... we won't have a full day tomorrow, nor a large part of the night... You have to leave at 3:10 tomorrow afternoon."
Ruan Qiuping nodded.
"You...you...you came, why didn't you call me?" Xiao Yuhuan's eyes were red.
Ruan Qiuping was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Xiao Yuhuan to react so strongly, so he could only say, "I heard that you were very sleepy, so I thought you were sleeping so I didn't disturb you. And it wasn't long, just less than eight hours..."
"It's not that I'm missing more than eight hours. It's that I'm missing eight hours and fifty minutes. If you round it up, it's nine hours. If you round it up again, it's ten hours. You only show up for thirty hours a year, but you tell me that missing nearly one-third of the time is nothing..." Xiao Yuhuan's voice became smaller and smaller, and his voice was a little hoarse, as if he was very aggrieved. "And I wasn't sleeping all the time. I came out as soon as you called me..."
As he was talking, Xiao Yuhuan stopped talking and just turned his head to look at the sky outside the window which was already darkening.
Ruan Qiuping sighed and turned to look at Xiao Yuhuan. Suddenly, he seemed to see something. He opened his eyes wide and asked in shock: "Xiao Yuhuan, are you crying?!"
“…No.” Xiao Yuhuan wiped away his tears and said in a muffled voice.
Ruan Qiuping stretched out his hands and turned little Yuhuan's face over, and little Yuhuan's tears fell into Ruan Qiuping's palms.
Ruan Qiuping suddenly became a little overwhelmed, and quickly reached out to wipe Xiao Yuhuan's tears: "Don't cry, why are you still crying? I was wrong, I was wrong, isn't that enough..."
Xiao Yuhuan removed Ruan Qiuping's hand and said in a low, hoarse voice: "It's not because of you, it's because of me. I just regret it... I shouldn't have slept. If I hadn't gone to the cabin this morning, I wouldn't..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but cry.
"Chenghua Night Street, we're here. Passengers please get off from the back door."
Ruan Qiuping heard the prompt sound inside the car and subconsciously looked up. Through the car window, he saw a brightly lit and crowded night street not far away. There seemed to be an amusement park, street game stalls, clothes vendors, and snack vendors. It looked very lively.
In order to divert Xiao Yuhuan's attention, Ruan Qiuping immediately pulled Xiao Yuhuan up from his seat and said, "This place looks interesting, let's go and play."
After getting off the car, Xiao Yuhuan still couldn't get over his sad mood and still looked uninterested.
Ruan Qiuping squatted down, pinched Xiao Yuhuan's little face, and said gently: "Xiao Yuhuan, don't you want to waste your time with me at all?"
Xiao Yuhuan nodded.
"But you've been sad for ten minutes. If we use these ten minutes to play, we can go on two pirate ship rides. So, is this a waste of time?"
Xiao Yuhuan blinked his eyes. His eye circles were still red and his eyelashes were still wet. But at this moment, he reached out and wiped his eyes again. When he put his hand down, the corners of his lips curved slightly. His voice was still a little hoarse, but his eyes slowly became clear and firm.
"Ruan Ruan... You're right. I can't be sad anymore and waste my time. Let's go play on the pirate ship."
Sea... Pirate ship
Ruan Qiuping looked at the swaying boat and suddenly felt a little dizzy.
As soon as the pirate ship began to move, Ruan Qiuping's whole body tensed up - he usually had problems just swinging on the swing, so what if his bad luck caused the entire gaming equipment to have problems
Ruan Qiuping held the handrail in front of him tightly with both hands, but as he held on, he felt the handrail begin to shake. There were screams beside him and Ruan Qiuping's heart was trembling.
Oh my god, if something goes wrong, that would mean the loss of… one, two, three, four, five, six, seven… a total of thirty-seven lives!
After the pirate ship stopped, Ruan Qiuping still felt a tightness in his chest.
This pirate ship was even more bumpy and exciting than flying with a sword. Back then, when he first started practicing flying with a sword, he fell directly from the middle of the mountain and hung upside down on a tree branch, but he was not as nervous as he is now.
“Ruan Ruan…” Xiao Yuhuan suddenly called him.
Ruan Qiuping looked down and realized that he had been holding Xiao Yuhuan's hand from beginning to end, and his hand had turned blue and white.
Ruan Qiuping thought about it, but still couldn't remember when he grabbed Xiao Yuhuan's hand.
Maybe it was when he got so excited that the armrests started to shake.
As if realizing that Ruan Qiuping didn't like this kind of exciting game, Xiao Yuhuan took Ruan Qiuping to play several gentle games, such as carousel, bumper cars, Ferris wheel, etc., but Ruan Qiuping didn't like Ferris wheel very much either, and seemed to be very afraid that they would fall from the sky.
Hearing this reason, Xiao Yuhuan couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you always think so much?"
Ruan Qiuping whispered: "Unlucky people always expect the worst."
