Chapter 31

Jian Mingxia especially likes the feeling of walking, even if she doesn't speak, as long as she is accompanied by someone, she can walk for hours without feeling tired.

She once traveled to every corner of her hometown city on weekends. At that time, the urban area was not so developed, and there were large areas of beautiful mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city. Her favorite thing was to breathe the cool air in the mountains in the morning.

Contrary to her lazy personality, she is a restless woman in her heart. She wants to go to many places and walk in those places with her own feet.

The two spent several times as long walking along the river, and Jian Mingxia said to Xue Liyan: "In fact, I have always wanted to take a trip. I don't know the destination, I don't go where I want to go, I just get in the car when it comes. If you want to get off, you can get off, no matter where you are, you can go wherever you go."

Xue Liyan looked at her sideways. Under the night, her face seemed to become blurred. He said to her: "If you want, I hope I can be the one who will accompany you on your trip."

Jian Mingxia heard this, and looked at him with a smile: "If you want to go, of course you must accompany me. Besides you, who would be willing to accompany me to do such a boring thing?"

He was amused by what she said, and he couldn't stop smiling.

"Stupid." Jian Mingxia muttered softly.

He laughed for a long time before he stopped his slightly silly laugh, and then said seriously: "Jian Mingxia, let's make an agreement, no matter what happens in the future, your trip will not leave me behind."

Jian Mingxia felt strange: "Why do you want to make such an agreement?"

"Because if you suddenly decide to go with someone else, or want to go alone, then I haven't waited so long for nothing?"

Jian Mingxia thought for a while, and felt that what he said made sense, so she agreed: "Okay, I will definitely take you with me. But I'm so lazy, I don't know when I will wait until when I will leave."

"As long as you don't forget this promise, you can leave at any time." He had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, instead there was an inexplicable emotion.

Jian Mingxia's heart skipped a beat, feeling a little uneasy.

Without thinking too much, she pulled him to speed up the pace: "Hurry up, it's so cold today, maybe the cotton candy sellers have closed their stalls."

This was an excuse, he knew it well, but he followed her to quicken his pace.

Jian Mingxia bought two cotton candy, and handed one of them to Xue Liyan, regardless of whether it suits him or not.

Looking at the pure and beautiful candy in her hand like a white cloud, Jian Mingxia was a little reluctant to take a bite, so she said: "Give me a bite of yours."

Xue Liyan handed her the marshmallow that he hadn't eaten yet, and Jian Mingxia opened his mouth to take a small bite. In fact, the marshmallow is not very delicious, it's just the taste of white sugar, but just looking at it, you will feel delicious in your heart .

Cotton candy, eating is a mood.

Jian Mingxia took her own cotton candy, and occasionally went to eat the cotton candy that Xue Liyan fed her. But the sugar silk melted very quickly. After a while, the outer layer of the marshmallow began to melt, and the light yellow sugar water condensed into beads.

Jian Mingxia had no choice but to start eating those candy beads, but the more she ate, the more ugly the shape of the marshmallows became, Jian Mingxia couldn't help being discouraged.

Xue Liyan looked at her with regret, leaned over and blew on her marshmallow, blowing the whole marshmallow flat.

Jian Mingxia screamed: "How could you do this!"

Xue Liyan smiled and said nothing, and blew on her cotton candy again. After the hot air blows, Jian Mingxia's cotton candy melts faster.

Jian Mingxia didn't protect her for a while, so he had to blow Xue Liyan's cotton candy in annoyance. He didn't hide, and let her blow it with a smile. Jian Mingxia blew the cotton candy in Xue Liyan's hand into a small ball in one breath, After blowing it, he was not satisfied, so he blew the one in his hand into a small ball, then stuffed it into Xue Liyan's hand, and said, "Whoever blows it will eat it."

Although she was the one who blew it up, he started it. The good cotton candy turned into two small balls full of sugar beads, and Jian Mingxia felt that she couldn't even take a bite.

Xue Liyan didn't refuse either, and ate the two shrunken marshmallows that she despised.

The two held hands and walked around the park again before starting to walk back slowly.

After returning, Xue Liyan was called aside by one of his former roommates to talk. Jian Mingxia was still sitting in the previous position, took some fruit and ate slowly.

Maybe because Jian Mingxia felt neglected, someone soon suggested that Jian Mingxia should play a game together, playing Truth or Dare, which seems to be a must-play game at holiday parties, because it gives people a chance to get to know each other in a fair and honest manner , don't doubt, the person who proposes to play this game, usually there will be someone he likes.

Jian Mingxia felt that she didn't have any unspeakable secrets, so she readily agreed.

Probably due to too many people, Jian Mingxia was not selected after several rounds. After Xue Liyan came back from the chat, he silently joined the ranks of the game. He was unlucky and was selected as soon as he came.

The boy who forwarded it said: "I don't ask you about your privacy, and I don't let you take any extravagant adventures. Just kiss the girl next to you to complete the task. How about it? It's interesting."

When the others heard this, they also booed and shouted "kiss one".

Jian Mingxia turned her head to meet Xue Liyan's eyes, and was a little bit moved by the emotions of these people for a while, feeling a little nervous.

His expression could not be seen clearly in the firelight, but his eyes reflecting the firework were very bright. He looked back amidst the commotion, took the cup and bottle, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down.

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Jian Mingxia's face remained unchanged, she still had a polite smile.

The boy who made the request booed: "Hey, Xue Liyan, why are you so stingy? You won't even kiss your girlfriend in front of us?"

Xue Liyan smiled and said, "It's not the first day you know me that you know I'm stingy?"

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and made a few jokes, and this session came to an end.

But maybe he didn't catch him, and when it was transferred to Jian Mingxia, the boy immediately said: "How about letting Xue Liyan's girlfriend kiss him this time? Let's see how he hides."

The person who turned to Jian Mingxia also said: "Okay, I will do as you say, beauty, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at Jian Mingxia, but Jian Mingxia didn't say anything, just took the cup that Xue Liyan drank, poured himself a glass of wine, and swallowed in one gulp.

Xue Liyan raised his hand, then lowered it again.

For two rounds in a row, this young couple was like this, and the people at the same table didn't dare to joke anymore, they all pretended that nothing happened, and continued to urge the next round.

Maybe it was bad luck, this time it turned to Xue Liyan again, and it was the pretty girl who had been watching Jian Mingxia before, and the atmosphere condensed again for a while.

The girl was silent for a while, then smiled and said to Jian Mingxia: "I choose to pass this opportunity on to Xue Liyan's girlfriend, I think she needs this opportunity more than me."

What this said seems reasonable, but after careful reflection, you can taste a few different connotations in it.

Jian Mingxia smiled and said to her, "Thank you."

Then she turned her head and asked Xue Liyan: "The truth or the big risk?"

Xue Liyan didn't answer right away, as if weighing things up, he said slowly: "The truth."

Jian Mingxia asked: "Are you tired when you're with me?"

Hearing this, he frowned, and opened his mouth to say something, but Jian Mingxia said before him: "If it's not the truth, then it's better not to say it."

Xue Liyan took back what he wanted to say.

Jian Mingxia poured another glass of wine and said, "Drink."

Xue Liyan looked at her, and she looked at him, and finally he picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

Truth or Dare is like this, it may make do with two men and women who are hard-pressed to love, and it may also cause minor conflicts between a pair of lovers.

For this kind of cold scene, the people here are very experienced, and someone quickly jumped out to enliven the atmosphere: "Okay, it's the next round, why is it not me every time, I still want to take this opportunity to talk to a beautiful woman openly .”

Someone spoke up: "It's beautiful to think about, it really turns to you, it would be nice not to let you take off your clothes and jump into the lake."

"That's right, everyone remember, let him jump into the lake later!"

"Hey, I also have the right to choose. If you do this, I will definitely choose the truth!"

"It's hard to disagree, brother."

There were only three things to do, and after playing, although there were times when Jian Mingxia and Xue Liyan were transferred, they always asked some harmless questions.

After playing for a while, Lao Zhang came out to express his thoughts after work, and said some very impassioned words, centered around "although there will be different lives and encounters in the future, but this should not alienate the friendship of the previous friends".

When it was over, he encouraged a few talented girls to go up and sing, and asked everyone to take this opportunity to talk about what they had to say, and if they had any problems, they could also talk about it.

Lao Zhang is very talented in leadership, and he speaks very beautifully. He can tell at a glance that his future achievements will not be small.

Jian Mingxia listened quietly, smiling from time to time, but from the beginning to the end, she never cast even a single look at Xue Liyan.

And all the while, his eyes stayed on her.

At the end of the show, Lao Zhang gave another bag of apples by himself. Because the time is not too late for young people, some have a good relationship, and after the show, they went to other places to play together.

Someone also invited Xue Liyan and Jian Mingxia. He asked her: "Do you want to go back and rest, or go to play with me?"

Jian Mingxia said: "I'm tired."

Xue Liyan declined the invitation of others, and walked silently with Jian Mingxia at the end of the crowd.

After walking silently for a while, he stretched out his hand to hold her tentatively, but luckily she didn't shake her off.

Because he drank two glasses of wine and left Hsinchu Park, he asked her: "The taxi or take the subway."

"subway."

There was no one in the subway tonight, maybe it was too late, or maybe it was because of the festival. Jian Mingxia got into the car, took out her mobile phone and played games, as if she didn't hear anything outside the window.

Xue Liyan sat beside her in silence, not disturbing her.

After leaving the subway station, the two walked downstairs, stood downstairs and said goodbye, Jian Mingxia said calmly: "I'm going upstairs, good night."

After a while, he said softly, "Good night."

Jian Mingxia turned around and went upstairs.

Xue Liyan stood where she was, looking up at the floor where she lived, and when he was sure that the light in her room was on, he ran suddenly, stopped a taxi on the road, and said to the driver after getting in the car: "Please go ahead!" To Hsinchu Park."

After Jian Mingxia took a shower, she lay on the bed in a daze. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the gap in the window and found that the light in the opposite room was not on tonight.

Usually he waited for her to turn off the lights before turning them off.

But today there was no light on the opposite side, Jian Mingxia wanted to get up to see if the living room opposite was lit, but after thinking about it, he didn't do that.

He may have gone out to play again.

Jian Mingxia turned her back to the window, closed her eyes, and let herself fall asleep.
