Chapter 168 Countless Light Sources Bring Countless Shadows
Because the musical fountain was turned on at a scheduled time, the girls did not stay at the stall for too long and did not visit other stalls.
In this small stall without a storefront, daily disposable contact lenses are sold for only four or five yuan each, and monthly disposable ones are even more popular.
The fountain is open every weekend, and the content is the same except for special holidays, so there is no scene of a large group of people gathering at the fence waiting in advance. There is no need to stand behind the fence. Instead, the upper steps of the square become the most suitable viewing spot.
"It's right here, sit down." After making sure that the view would not be obstructed, Lin Li pointed to a row of steps and said.
Bai Bufan sat down.
"Forget it, let's change seats." Lin Li changed his words again.
Bai Bufan stood up with a gloomy look on his face, and then watched with his own eyes as Lin Li pushed him away and sat in the seat he had just sat in.
Bai Bufan: “…”
Do you have to wipe the dust on the ground with your pants first?
"Give me back my seat!"
"I have some paper here..." Girls always carry tissues with them. Seeing the two people who suddenly started fighting, Chen Yuying said with some amusement.
"The ground wiped by paper doesn't smell as good as the ground wiped by Bai Bufan's butt!" But Lin Li still ignored it.
"They knocked each other down." Qu Wanqiu looked at the two people whose buttocks were pressed together with a corrupt look, as if she was expecting a more bloody scene.
"Doing everything will only hurt you." Ding Sihan shook her head and sighed. She was more dedicated.
In the end, Lin Li's butt was the winner.
Five people sat in a row on the steps.
Bai Bufan is on Lin Li’s left and Chen Yuying is on the right.
"Uh-huh-huh."
Bai Bufan, who was beside him, used the puppy summoning technique to summon a stray dog that should have lived in Nanxin Lake Park.
Although it is a local dog, it looks good and its fur is quite shiny. It is probably taken care of by someone regularly. It is not afraid of people at all. When it heard the call of its own kind, it came over happily and was very enthusiastic. It let Bai Bufan touch its head, sniffed Bai Bufan's body with its nose, and even tried to shake hands with him.
"Remember to wash your hands after touching a dog, especially one that's dirty, otherwise you'll get sick." The scene was very heartwarming, but despite the warmth, Lin Li still reminded them.
"I know—" Bai Bufan was about to nod, and then he saw Lin Li walk up to the dog and carry him to the public sink to wash its hands.
Bai Bufan: “…”
Wait, let me think.
Isn't it you who should wash your hands?
So it turns out that I was the one who was unclean in that sentence just now?
Grass.
Looking at the puppy being dragged by Lin Li to wash his hands, the girls all laughed.
Ding Sihan was glad that he did not rush to greet the dog, otherwise he would have been the one attacked by Lin Li.
Because there were many people around and they were in school uniforms, he couldn't afford to be too embarrassed, so when Lin Li came back, Bai Bufan didn't curse out loud. Instead, he used his mouth to sublimate Lin Li's family tree.
Lin Li will pretend not to see it this time, but please don’t scold me next time.
There were still five or six minutes before the fountain started, so the five of them sat side by side, enjoying the cool evening breeze, feeling the fluttering hair on their foreheads, and listening to the idle whispers around them.
Even if you don't look at your phone and squint your eyes, it's more comfortable than being in the air-conditioned library. If summer nights were always like this, it would be worth remembering.
Of course, it may have something to do with studying in the library.
"Splash." The sound of splashing water.
"Something fell down, a stone?" Bai Bufan looked up and asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's a frog." Lin Li squinted his eyes comfortably, too lazy to open them, and just shrugged indifferently.
"Oh."
"Bufan, let me ask you, who is the best synchronized diving team in the world?" Lin Li suddenly asked.
"Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi?" Bai Bufan replied.
"Wrong, it's my girlfriend and my mother." Lin Li gave the correct answer.
Bai Bufan: “…”
The three girls nearby who also heard it laughed.
"Lin Li, now here comes the problem. Your girlfriend and your mother fell into the water together, and you can only choose to save one person. Who will you save?" Ding Sihan asked.
"Mom." Lin Li answered without much thought.
"Oh, good son. Mom is very pleased." Ding Sihan's eyes were filled with tears.
Lin Li: "?"
Not sisters.
"Then mom, can you show me a scene where you and Ding Sihan fall into the water at the same time and see who I save?" Lin Li asked Ding Sihan sincerely.
"never."
Ding Sihan turned her head away triumphantly. She had already won and would not accept the challenge.
"But anyone who invents this kind of question is either stupid or evil, and is destroying interpersonal relationships."
Lin Li commented on these issues sincerely.
Instead of making assumptions all day long, you might as well go and plow two miles of land instead of the old ox.
"Hey, let's change the topic. Lin Li, if your best friend and girlfriend fell into the water together, and you can only save one, who would you save?" But Ding Sihan was still chasing and killing him. Bai Bufan sighed.
At this time, as a sensible brother, I should tie a stone to my leg and sink down first.
"Before I answer this question, can you explain why my brother and my girlfriend were together and fell into the water at the same time? Why do I feel green on my head? I won't save them. Just die."
However, unlike what Bai Bufan thought, Lin Li narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold voice.
Ding Sihan: “Huh?”
Bai Bufan: “Yeah!”
"It seems not a loss!" Bai Bufan suddenly said happily, and then he was hit by an elbow from Lin Li.
"Is it just a normal fall into the water?" Ding Sihan continued to ask.
"I will recite pi backwards for my brother." Lin Li laughed.
"What do you mean?" Ding Sihan didn't understand.
"I will keep him alive, so it doesn't matter if I die." Lin Li explained.
Ding Sihan: "..."
"You are really good at making things happen." Ding Sihan couldn't refute.
Amidst the laughter and joy, accompanied by a "plop" sound, a column of water rose from the center of Nanxin Lake, and the surrounding light strips also lit up.
The night falls and the lanterns come on.
The music started and the fountain show began. Passersby who had already seen it gradually began to gather here.
The lights and water curtains interweave into flowing paintings.
Under the reflection of the light, the water splashes into colorful colors, sometimes like delicate ribbons dancing in the air, sometimes like flames burning in the air.
Chen Yuying's clear eyes reflected all of this. She did not use her phone to record it, but just watched the scene quietly.
"careful!"
Until a slightly hurried shout came from behind.
Chen Yuying turned her head and saw that it was a shuttlecock flying towards her, still shining. It was a little dazzling when it was close. Although the top was not sharp, it would still hurt if it hit her head.
She saw it clearly, because the shuttlecock stopped quietly in front of her, and the hand that grabbed it without turning back came from beside her.
Chen Yuying turned her head and looked at Lin Li. Under the light of the musical fountain, his jawline seemed to be clearer.
Is it my illusion? Why does Lin Li look a lot better now?
Lin Li was still looking at the fountain, neon lights flashing in his eyes, but Chen Yuying suddenly found it a little funny, especially when she noticed the corners of his mouth that seemed to be holding back a smug look, so she said:
"Don't pretend, you're already being too deliberate."
"Captain! Am I awesome? I caught you without even turning my head! I saved your life! So cool, so cool, can you adjust the satellite and send me this video? I want to make it into a QR code and carve it on my grave!"
Lin Li, who originally wanted to act cool and aloof, couldn't hold back after hearing this. He turned his head with great pride and boasted in a rhythmic tone.
This is Lin Li.
Being cold has nothing to do with him.
"Wow! So handsome!" Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu said in a very artificial voice after seeing Lin Li fail.
"Just average."
Lin Li seemed not to notice the two people's deliberate words. His actions said "Stop praising me", while his expression said "keep on going".
At this time, the culprit and his parents had also come over. The parents immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my child was playing in the wrong direction. I'm really sorry. You are not hurt, are you? Come here and apologize to your brothers and sisters!"
"Yeah, sorry."
"Squad leader, what do you think? Should we let him pay with his youth?" Lin Li asked in a low voice.
Ding Sihan, who was standing by, rolled his eyes after hearing this. How could this be considered a way of calling back to Lin Li?
"What are you asking for compensation for?" Chen Yuying also laughed and scolded, shaking her head at the adults and children who were still apologizing: "It's okay, I'm not hurt."
Since it wasn't a naughty child or a naughty parent, it was indeed just a small accident that did not cause any damage, so there was no need to worry about it, and Lin Li returned the shuttlecock to the other party.
A harmless incident.
The show goes on.
The music reached its climax and the fountain seemed to be inspired. Suddenly, it shot out towering streams of water, rushing straight into the sky like rockets, attracting a lot of attention.
Then, the water splashed down at a speed that was almost within reach, stirring up layers of white mist, as if it were a fairyland.
Chen Yuying was still staring at the highest point the water column had just reached.
Why must the one who smashes something have to pay for his youth? Can you be a little more shameless?
In the lake.
Countless brilliant neon lights lit up on both sides of the lake, and water columns rushed in an orderly manner.
ashore.
Shadows cling to each other.
