The game of truth or dare is still going on, but Lai Yang has lost all interest.
He really couldn't understand the relationship between Yu Bo and Tian Jing. He only knew that this was a love song after a breakup. The song contained Tian Jing's story, and now the song was being sung by Yu Bo.
Tonight, the little turtle did not attack openly.
But behind the scenes, every word and every action he took was a preemptive move in the battle for tranquility.
The quiet expression contained a mixture of surprise and distraction, which was very complicated.
Those eyes, like mirror lakes, hide countless secrets that cannot be seen.
Maybe Yunlu didn’t like this kind of song. As soon as Yu Bo finished singing, she shouted loudly, asking him to change to a less sad song.
Yu Bo smiled, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, then plucked the guitar strings and sang the Cantonese version of "I Like You".
"The drizzle and wind soaked the streets at dusk. I wiped away the rain and looked up for no reason... I hope you can know at this moment that I am saying from the bottom of my heart that I like you, your eyes are moving, your laughter is even more charming, and I hope to caress your lovely face again..."
While singing, he glanced at Tian Jing from time to time, his eyes full of tenderness and attachment. Almost even a blind person could see his love for Tian Jing.
Lai Yang picked up the wine glass and drank it all. He was a little drunk, as if he was drunk in an instant.
The wind rustled the vines on the fence in the yard, and the crescent moon in the night sky parted the clouds, casting salt-like moonlight on the wooden table, and the cracks on the table were reflected with clear shadows...
After the song ended, everyone applauded politely, including Laiyang.
At this moment Yunlu pushed Song Wen, then he stood up with a drunken face and said.
"Hehe~ It just so happens that everyone is happy tonight, and it just so happens that we sang the song I Like You, and it just so happens that..."
"Speak for the point!" Yunlu smiled and pinched Song Wen's waist, just like Tianjing pinched Lai Yang a few times before.
"Ahem... Brothers and sisters, Yunlu and I have discussed it and we are planning to get married."
Everyone froze.
After a few seconds, his eyes quickly turned to Yunlu, and she nodded in acknowledgment, and said that they were planning to go back to their hometown to meet their parents soon.
The news came so suddenly that after everyone reacted, the shouting directly caused the boss lady to come out and remind them to keep their voices down.
Alu grabbed Song Wen's hand and kept saying that he was not kind enough for not revealing this matter in advance.
Yuan Shengda also chattered and asked Yunlu if he really decided to devote himself to her? What did he like about Song Wen
Lai Yang's mood at this moment is like heaven and hell.
I was happy for their success, but also worried about my own love which was shrouded in mystery. Just when everyone was sending their blessings, Yu Bo received a phone call. After listening to the call, he left in a hurry.
Tian Jing said that she would stay for a while longer. Yu Bo looked at her intently, said sorry to everyone and left.
Everyone talked about marriage until late at night and finally ended up laughing.
And Laiyang finally had some quiet time alone.
…
"Laiyang, it seems like we haven't walked this road for a long time."
Tianjing and Laiyang walked side by side, crossing Xuhui Square and on the way back to her community.
It was already past one in the morning, and apart from some passing vehicles, there were basically no pedestrians on the street.
"Well, it's been thirty-two days since you left for Chengdu."
Lai Yang said this while looking straight ahead, her pretty face with a bit of rosy red looked at him, Lai Yang also looked back and smiled faintly.
"In Chengdu, was it Yu Bo who accompanied you after get off work? I noticed he was quite attached to you, too. Oh, by the way, was that song "Unfortunately I'm an Aquarius" the one he taught you?"
If Tian Jing said yes, Lai Yang would basically have guessed that they must have had a past.
He wanted the answer but was afraid to hear it.
His heart seemed to be pressed by an icy sharp blade. The chill was making it sour, but it hadn't yet stabbed in with a "pop" sound. This feeling made Lai Yang uncomfortable.
Tian Jing sighed heavily, then raised her eyes and said, "He taught me how to play guitar, but this song was the one my mother listened to most often..."
Several cars were coming towards us from the side of the street, and the light from their headlights made Laiyang bright, dim, and bright again in a few seconds.
Just like his ups and downs in mood.
"Every time my mother quarreled with my father, she would take me out to live, and we would listen to this song every night, so over time I would start humming along. Later, when she passed away, this song became a memory of those days, and that's it..."
She stopped quietly, her eyes blending with the moonlight, falling softly and coldly on Lai Yang's face.
"Well, I'm sorry. I... shouldn't have brought up your sad memories."
"It's okay. You love gossip anyway. If I don't tell you after asking you several times, you'll be petty again."
"I'm petty? Are you kidding me? Hahaha... I'm just curious. Curiosity is the driving force behind human progress."
"Laiyang, do you see the sewer in front?" Tian Jing pointed to the manhole cover not far away.
Lai Yang nodded in confusion, then saw her smile and said, "Are you curious about how big it is? Can you be trapped in it?"
“Oh, I’m not really curious about this.”
Lai Yang crossed his eyes, stuck out his tongue and shook his head. He was just feeling proud for two seconds when Tian Jing suddenly reached out and pinched his waist. Lai Yang dodged with a laugh, and Tian Jing was so angry that she chased after him.
But after she ran one or two steps, a gift box in her coat pocket suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.
LaiYang stopped and ran over to pick it up, looking at Tian Jing in shock. She reached out to push away a few strands of hair in front of her eyes and said unhappily.
"What are you looking at? It's not for you. Give it to me."
"Oh, then you give it to me." Lai Yang handed it over, and her pretty face turned several shades paler with anger.
"What's with that expression on your face? Is it for me? Is it another gift of medicine? Are you going to change Yunbin's pharmacy?"
Seeing that Tian Jing was about to explode with anger, Lai Yang smiled and immediately put the gift box into his pocket. He knew that this was a gift from Tian Jing to celebrate his success in the venue with a thousand people. It seemed that she had him in mind as well.
I'm just not sure if this is love or friendship.
When they arrived at the gate of the quiet community, Lai Yang asked Yu Bo what he was busy with in Chengdu
Tian Jing blinked her long eyelashes and snorted, "What? Are you curious again? Why should I satisfy your curiosity?"
"Tsk, I'm not curious at all. There's nothing interesting about the sewers."
"You...you go back, I'm here." Tian Jing turned and walked away.
Maybe it was because he drank too much, and Yunlu and Song Wen were going to get married, which caused Lai Yang to suddenly feel excited.
He looked at his own shadow on the ground, and the hug in Chengdu flashed through his mind.
At this moment, he wanted to take another step, even if there was an abyss ahead, at least he would not leave any regrets.
Looking up, looking at the quiet back of Manli, the moon covered her with a layer of silver light like a wedding dress, Lai Yang swallowed hard and shouted.
"Jingjing... don't leave yet, I have something to say..."
