Because of the layout, the outside of the balcony is an empty and distant mountain, with lush colors that meet the blue sky.
The sun is not too strong, and occasionally a hot wind blows, bringing up the man's wide white T-shirt, the clean smell of saponin mixed with the fresh citrus fragrance, and the man's cold white skin in front of his eyes, and Jin, thin and tall figure, put together into Zhong Keke's short eighteen years, the most memorable confession.
The place touched by the man's icy fingertips suddenly caught fire. At this moment, Zhong Keke's heart beat so fast that he didn't know how to react at all.
God knows that the second half of the sentence is "Did you know me before?", not "Do you like me" as the other party understands.
No matter how narcissistic she is, she would never ask such a thing.
The worst part is that once the other party leads her in this direction, the question she had been preparing for for a long time will also get stuck, and she doesn't know what to say at all.
After the long silence, Zhong Keke raised his eyes, with a trembling voice at the end, "Did you drink too much?"
Seemingly expecting her to react this way, Jiang Yuqiao took two steps back and pressed his back against the wall, giving them a space to breathe.
After a long while, Jiang Yuqiao looked at her deeply, the emotions in his eyes were thick and complicated, "What do you think?"
The ball was kicked back again.
Zhong Keke touched his neck, looking a little annoyed, "How do I know."
Jiang Yuqiao smiled lightly, and a trace of self-mockery flashed in his eyes, "Scared you?"
Zhong Keke pursed his lips, "No."
Jiang Yuqiao didn't speak, his long and dense eyelashes drooped down, blocking the light and emotion in his eyes.
In fact, he didn't want to say it so early.
He always felt that it was too early to say such words based on the current relationship between the two, but on the other hand, as long as he thought of returning to Tong An again tomorrow, that vague feeling of unease began to haunt him again.
Anyway, the worst is like this, it's better to gamble.
But looking at the little girl's reaction now, he knew that he really lost the bet.
The memory is gone.
Like it is gone.
What an easy to understand truth.
The air froze for a few seconds.
It was he who said, "So you came to me, what did you want to ask?"
The topic was finally shifted, and Zhong Keke was inexplicably relieved, but at the same time, it seemed that her question had already been answered.
No one falls in love with another person after meeting them a few times.
Thinking of this, Zhong Keke suddenly felt an indescribable, unpleasant feeling.
Pulling the corner of her mouth, her voice was crisp, "I just wanted to ask you, what was your relationship with me before..."
Jiang Yuqiao raised his eyes slowly, "Didn't the people around you tell you?"
"Did you say Brother Yuanhang?" Zhong Keke blinked, "He didn't tell me anything, he just said you were his good friend."
"Apart from him?"
"Zhou Mingyue?"
Hearing the name, the man's eyes shook with emotion, as if he suddenly understood something.
"What did she say?"
Zhong Keke looked a little embarrassed, but he still answered honestly, "When you gave me gifts before my college entrance examination, Zhou Mingyue came to my house. I asked her if she knew you, and she said she did."
Jiang Yuqiao's eyes dimmed, and his pale lips fluttered.
"She said..." Zhong Keke slowed down, his eyes like glass beads were bright, and he looked at him cautiously, "She said you were a scumbag."
"… "
"Say you have a leg with Zhuo Yifan, and you're pedaling two boats outside."
The atmosphere was silent for a second.
Jiang Yuqiao's face changed from silence to surprise, and finally stopped in a state of laughter.
The handsome man frowned, his eyes almost absurd, "Me and Zhuo Yifan? When did I have a relationship with her?"
Zhong Keke pursed his mouth innocently, as if to say how do I know.
"Still pedaling two boats," Jiang Yuqiao laughed angrily and licked his lips, "I don't even understand you."
Hearing this, Zhong Keke choked up obviously.
It seems a little embarrassed and overwhelmed, and a vaguely unspeakable refreshment.
Of course you don't understand me.
Nobody wants to understand.
Jiang Yuqiao noticed her slightly complacent expression, and there was a trace of indifference in her eyes that was not easy to capture.
Suddenly, he leaned down slightly, making eye level with the little girl who was over one meter six.
Approaching suddenly.
The good smell of the man's body covered the sky and the earth, causing Zhong Keke to straighten his back subconsciously.
Just as the dry words "what are you doing" popped out of his mouth, he was interrupted by Jiang Yuqiao in the next second, "What else did she say?"
The man's voice was low and magnetic, as if seducing her ear without a trace, forcing Zhong Keke to meet his deep, charming and clear eyes.
"She also said..."
Zhong Keke swallowed, "You have always liked me unilaterally, but I don't like you."
After speaking, even she herself didn't seem to believe it, and lowered her eyes awkwardly.
If she had never seen Jiang Yuqiao before, she would still believe this sentence, but when she saw it with her own eyes...
There should be no young girl in this world who can resist his liking.
Thinking of this, Zhong Keke raised his eyes slowly and helped himself, "But I didn't take it seriously, and her words might not be—"
Jiang Yuqiao interrupted with a loud voice, "She's right about this."
"… "
Zhong Keke opened his eyes slightly.
Jiang Yuqiao stood up straight, with a peaceful and gentle affection in his eyes, "But the past was the past, and now is the present."
Zhong Keke looked at him vaguely.
At that time, the sun was just right, the bright light fell on the man's quiet eyes like the sea, the dark gray pupils turned into clear light brown, Jiang Yuqiao's voice was soft, "One day.
"… "
"I'll make you fall in love with me."
The party to comfort Zhao's leg after losing a dog lasted until nine o'clock in the evening.
Everyone drank a lot.
When leaving, take a taxi and find a chauffeur.
Only Jiang Yuqiao and Fu Yuanhang were still awake, but they also drank a little, and neither could drive, so they could only take a taxi together to send Zhong Keke home.
At this moment, Zhong Keke's stomach began to feel uncomfortable again, leaning on the back seat in a daze, and fell asleep unconsciously.
But this road is always bumpy, Zhong Keke is swaying, and he is always awakened when he falls asleep.
Jiang Yuqiao instructed the driver to drive slowly, and while she fell asleep again, he pulled her to his side, and lowered his shoulders for her to lean against.
Afraid that she would be awakened again, Jiang Yuqiao deliberately closed her sideways.
It persisted for a while.
The driver made him laugh, "Hey, boy, you are really kind to your girlfriend."
Hearing this, Fu Yuanhang, who was texting a new acquaintance on WeChat, looked back with a good-natured look, and saw Zhong Keke, who was sleeping very sweetly, as if he had no bones, leaning softly on Jiang Yuqiao's shoulder. Only the small white arms were blatantly lying across the man's slender waist.
Jiang Yuqiao looked down at Zhong Keke with his eyes lowered, and there was a lot of warmth in his always cold eyes.
He didn't admit it, and he didn't deny it.
Instead, Fu Yuanhang continued with a smile, "That's right, it's baby."
The driver's master laughed.
After a while, as if thinking of something, he turned around and asked Jiang Yuqiao in a low voice, "Hey, I forgot to ask, how are you two talking today."
He saw it when they were playing mahjong. The two were behind the glass door, and the ambiguity was visible to the naked eye. Later, not knowing what Jiang Yuqiao said, Zhong Keke opened the door with a blushing face.
At that time, everyone was joking, saying that the two might be together tonight, but looking at the attitude of everyone when they played games together, I felt that the little girl deliberately avoided it.
Jiang Yuqiao was as calm as always, and could not see anything.
While Zhong Keke was asleep, Fu Yuanhang finally had a chance to ask.
Yuqiao changed his posture a little, his tone was flat, "I didn't talk too much, I just told her roughly what I was thinking."
"Yo," Fu Yuanhang smiled meanly, "then what did she say?"
Jiang Yuqiao's thoughts were light, looking out the window at the fleeting street scene, "Nothing to say."
"… "
Fu Yuanhang was silent.
It is better not to ask this question.
Fu Yuanhang was too lazy to say any more, and turned back to chat with the girl, but Jiang Yuqiao said instead, "I didn't tell her that she liked me in the past. If she asks, don't tell her."
Fu Yuanhang paused at his fingertips and turned his head, "What do you mean, you didn't tell the truth?"
Under the night, the man's facial features are three-dimensional and delicate, his deep eyebrows and eyes are soaked in light and darkness, and he is handsome and neat.
After thinking for a few seconds, he hummed, "No."
"..." Fu Yuanhang didn't understand, "Why? If you told her how much she liked you in the past, wouldn't it help the two of you develop?"
"No." Jiang Yuqiao's voice was decisive, his long and dense eyelashes swept a shadow under his eyes, "That will only keep her away from me."
Fu Yuanhang thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.
"And over the years, she has been sad many times." Jiang Yuqiao held her shoulders, under the thin fabric, the little girl's skin was fair and tender.
He placed his chin lightly on the top of Zhong Keke's warm head, "I don't want her to be sad any more."
…
Zhong Keke slept very deeply this night.
She didn't know how she got home, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she was already lying on her warm and comfortable bed.
The sky was bright now, and the curtains filtered a gentle sunlight.
It was nine in the morning.
His mind was chaotic, as if it had been broken. Zhong Keke lay on the pillow and rested for a while before remembering that he played at Fu Yuanhang's house for a long time last night.
It started out pretty normal.
It seems that she started to go crazy after she and Jiang Yuqiao finished talking alone.
It was playing mahjong again, singing and playing games, and drinking a few bottles of wine along the way. Anyway, by the time it was about to end, she was so sleepy that she got into the car and simply fell asleep.
Rubbing his swollen temples, Zhong Keke subconsciously touched his phone, but the phone rang suddenly.
She picked it up in a daze, and the next second she heard Zhou Mingyue's excited voice, "Son, the college entrance examination results are out! Have you seen it?? How many points?"
Hearing "the results of the college entrance examination", Zhong Keke seemed to be slapped and sat up abruptly, "What date is it today, so early?"
"It's the 25th," Zhou Mingyue was speechless, "what kind of life have you lived here, you don't remember such an important thing."
When she said this, Zhong Keke hurriedly turned over and turned on the computer.
Although the previous evaluation was pretty good, it didn't mean that she really got so many points in the test, and she didn't have the heart to chat with Zhou Mingyue. She hung up the phone, hurriedly went to the website, and entered her admission ticket number.
After about a few seconds of waiting, the score finally came out.
No more, no less, exactly six hundred.
Ten points more than she estimated.
Zhong Keke hadn't waited for the emotions to be ready to accept the blow of reality, when he saw the unexpected joy in front of him, the whole person froze in front of the computer for a few seconds, and then slowly calmed down.
The first thing that comes to mind is to send a message.
However, as soon as she opened WeChat, she saw countless red dots in the list. They were all concerned about her relatives and friends. She wanted to know how many points she had scored in the test.
Until she saw an extra red dot on the button of the address book, she couldn't tell why, but she had a feeling that this was Jiang Yuqiao.
As long as he thinks of him, Zhong Keke can remember that on the balcony yesterday, Jiang Yuqiao trapped her on the glass door, touched her face, and said he liked her.
She didn't think so at the time.
But in retrospect, there was a feeling of unreality like a dream.
Just like now, she originally thought that she was only 590 points at most, but in fact, she passed 600 points.
This unexpected joy collided with the confession, and mixed into a different kind of emotion that couldn't wait. It was at this moment that Zhong Keke suddenly realized that the first person she wanted to tell the results was Jiang Yuqiao.
It was as if there was a repressed self in her heart, desperately ordering her.
When she thought about it, she had already turned on the red dot in the address book. The next second, a friend request appeared on the new interface. The nickname was Jiang, and the avatar was a little milk cat with a blue and gold gradient.
Zhong Keke pursed his lips, clicked pass, and then jumped to the chat interface between the two.
She didn't know where Jiang Yuqiao was at the moment, what she was doing, but out of her instinctive impulse and desire to talk, she typed two words in the chat box: [Six hundred.]
almost the same time.
That end became "the other side is typing".
After going back and forth several times, a strange phone call suddenly came.
Zhong Keke hesitated, pressed the answer button, and was about to speak, when he heard Jiang Yuqiao's magnetic and smooth voice, like a trickle, came along the receiver, "Coco."
Zhong Keke's breath stagnated, and he couldn't help but get nervous.
It was so quiet for a few seconds, as if the preparations were well established, Jiang Yuqiao suddenly said, "If it is six percent, would you like to come to Tong An to see the school?"
