Lai Yang stopped and stared in a daze. The small lights on the flowers flickered, like the bright stars in the sky, and also in sync with his heartbeat.
Only then did he realize that the back seat was blocked by a black baffle. No wonder he didn't notice it at all when he got in the car.
An indescribable feeling swept Lai Yang's heart. After a moment, he slowly turned his head and looked at Tan Jing.
She had her hands behind her back, her pretty face slightly raised, and a charming curve at the corner of her mouth.
"Do you like it?"
Seeing that Lai Yang didn't say anything, she stared at him quietly for a few seconds, then waved her hand in front of him.
"Are you dumb? Do you like red roses or white roses..."
"I like you."
"… "
The quietly waving little hands stopped in the air, and her eyes flickered.
At this time Lai Yang stepped forward and held her in his arms, smelling the fragrance of her hair, and murmured.
"I like you, really, really like you."
"... Yeah, I know... Darling, you... you're making it hard for me to breathe."
"No, no, no, you don't know. Let me tell you."
"Then tell me about junior high school."
"… "
Lai Yang's mouth twisted, he loosened his hug and looked at her: "Wow~ Jingjing, I found that you are really mean, how many things are you hiding in your heart?"
"Why do you feel guilty?"
"Um...I...what am I weak for?"
"Nothing, so I'm listening."
Lai Yang's mouth opened and closed like a fish that had been salvaged from the shore. He discovered that there was indeed a gap in IQ between himself and Tian Jing.
At least in terms of this kind of on-the-spot reaction, she completely crushed herself.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Lai Yang quickly moved his eyes to the trunk, uttered a "huh", and asked, "How can this flower... be so beautiful?"
“Heh~”
Tian Jing smiled faintly and pointed at the trunk and said, "Baby, I want to take a photo to commemorate it. Can you make a cool pose?"
"No problem, I'm good at being handsome!"
Lai Yang stood beside the trunk, smiling and making a scissors gesture.
Tian Jing took out her phone and gestured, frowning slightly and said, "No, it won't fit into the frame. The picture won't look good. Can you get in?"
Lai Yang looked back, then nodded, bent down and nestled into the trunk, stretched out his scissor hand, and said with difficulty: "Now... now is it okay?"
Tranquility took a step forward
, looking at him, and suddenly smiled.
"Okay."
Bang!
She actually... raised her hand and closed the hood!
Lai Yang was stunned for two seconds, then quickly reached out to touch the crack in the door, but the car had no function to open the box from the inside!
The back seat was blocked tightly, and he was locked in the trunk quietly...
Lai Yang’s old face froze.
"Tian Jing! You're going too far. What do you mean? Open it for me!!"
After Lai Yang shouted, a small voice came from outside: "Baby, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"I... stop it, open it quickly, I'm suffocating!"
"Don't worry, baby, tell me what happened. Let's start from junior high school."
"… "
Lai Yang's mouth was so open that an egg could be stuffed in it, he shouted at the top of his voice.
"Don't force me to break the baffle for you. My punch is very powerful."
"Really? Baby, why are you angry? Did I hit a sore spot?"
"Fuck me... Jingjing! Are you jealous of junior high school? Is that interesting?"
"No idea, then tell me loudly, do you miss him?"
"… "
Lai Yang swallowed hard. At this moment, he tilted his neck, put his head against the roof of the car, supported himself on the ground with one hand, and his legs and feet were curled up. The movement was extremely uncomfortable.
After taking a few deep breaths, Lai Yang sneered and said, "Okay, you don't want to open it, right? Then don't open it. I'll go wherever you go. That's it."
"Okay, then I'll go to the community and chat with Jiaqi first. Honey, calm down for a while. If you want to talk, contact me. Let's go, honey~"
"Fuck me!!! Hey, Tian Jing - is this something a female CEO can do? Come back here, hey, don't force me to use force next time! Do you believe that I can beat you to tears with one punch? "
Lai Yang shouted for a long time, but there was no sound outside.
The trunk was extremely quiet, like a small grave.
The small lights flickered silently again, like fireflies, and the faint light reflected a stupid man with a red face and furious look.
After catching his breath for a while, Lai Yang was trying to find a way to get out when his cell phone rang.
He struggled to take it out of his pocket and found that it was an unfamiliar number, which made him even more annoyed.
"Hey! Why are you calling me without even knowing what time it is? I don't want a house near a subway station!"
"Laiyang? I am
Quiet Father."
"Hiss~"
Lai Yang's throat got stuck, and he immediately smiled and said, "Uncle~ Oh, what time is it? Why don't you rest? Hehehe~ Well, I'm looking for a house near the subway station recently. Um... Houses in Shanghai are expensive, so... What's wrong, uncle?"
"… "
There was silence on the other end, and Lai Yang felt deeply that the word "stupid" was engraved on his forehead.
"Where are you?"
"I'm in the trunk."
Bang!
After Lai Yang blurted out this, he slapped himself on the forehead, and the corners of his mouth were twisted.
"In the trunk? Are you alone?"
"Uncle... there's no room for two people in the trunk."
"... OK, tell Jing that I have something to talk to her about, and ask her to come back early. Also, are you free tomorrow? I want to meet you and talk."
Lai Yang's expression became serious.
He could basically guess what Tian's father was going to say, and his mood became gloomy.
After hanging up the phone, Lai Yang fell into deep thought again. It was unknown how long it had been before Tian Jing opened the trunk again.
By the time Lai Yang got off the bus, his legs were numb, but he no longer had the heart to play around with Tian Jing.
She was not in a good mood either. She just said, "Jiaqi has something to talk to you about," and drove away in a hurry.
When she was leaving, her phone rang.
So much so that the two of them didn't even have a hug.
…
I walked into the community with a big bunch of roses, and the lights everywhere became dimmer.
The wind was gentle and a little cool. The lights in the residential buildings were mostly turned off. Only the moonlight cast a layer of white gauze on the stone road, making it exceptionally quiet.
The rustling sound of footsteps floats around my ears, making people confused and hesitant.
Gu Qian has walked this road, as have Yuan Shengda and Li Dian.
The moonlight is still the same moonlight, but some people are gone forever, like a cluster of reflected shadows, so real and yet so unreal.
Now, tranquility has just passed by here, and there is even a faint scent of white magnolia lingering in the air.
But the fragrance is fading quickly, fading...
Lai Yang is afraid of separation, but is constantly enduring it.
He is not a child anymore and knows that time cannot be eternal and separation is the norm in life.
But he is also a fragile person, and he also hopes that a ray of light can fly into his heart and become his last confidence in facing this ever-changing world...
