Chapter 336 "Confessions under the Fireworks Shining Like Stars"
"One three."
"Wang Bang!"
"No! Bai Bufan! Wanqiu played a three! It's a! Three!"
"Yeah, I know. The trump card I played is better than the big three." He picked up the radish piece with a stick, touched it with his mouth, and put it back with a hissing sound. Bai Bufan nodded and responded calmly.
"...Okay, you are awesome, just continue." Ding Sihan was convinced.
Bai Bufan put down the oden, picked up his own cards, and threw out a card: "A four."
Ding Sihan: "(;☉_☉)?"
"... No! Bai Bufan, do you know how to play cards?"
Inside the fortune-telling room.
Farmer Ding Sihan, at this moment, angrily questioned farmer Bai Bufan who was standing beside him.
"Anyway, the results are the same," Bai Bufan said calmly, blowing the hot steam from the oden in his hand leisurely:
"After all, I'm not fighting the landlord, but the landlord and the peasants who are in collusion with her. Since I can't defeat you in one second with 17 cards, I might as well have some fun at the beginning and dampen your enthusiasm."
Damn it, it turns out that Bai Bufan discovered the trap.
Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Ding Sihan smiled and threw the cards in his hand into the deck, stretched himself, took out his phone and looked at it with concern, then shook his head and said:
"It's been almost an hour and a half, why hasn't Lin Li made any move yet? Why hasn't he confessed his feelings yet? When I asked him, his reply was so perfunctory. Could it be that something unexpected happened and he failed? He must be hiding at the bottom of the river crying secretly now."
"This is too polluting for the environment." Bai Bufan clicked his tongue, but then shrugged: "But I would rather believe that he is hiding at the bottom of the river and laughing secretly. Failure? That's unrealistic."
"Indeed, I can't think of any possibility of failure. Yingbao's love is written all over his face, and he even hugged him in front of you. How could I fail?" Qu Wanqiu also nodded.
Some brothers, yes, it is possible - Bai Bufan felt that if Lin Li was willing to find him as a military advisor, he should be able to fail.
After all, I am the king of amazing ideas.
Of course, Bai Bufan didn’t say this.
The reason why Bai Bufan also appeared here.
After he separated from Lin Li and Chen Yuying, he simply walked back and strolled around again. Then, because he was worried about running into them again and causing trouble for Lin Li, he simply went to the fortune-telling house to find Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu.
As soon as he came in, he saw Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu playing Landlord with the owner of the divination house, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.
I still use Tarot cards.
Tarot cards are the ancestors of playing cards, and the little mysteries in them are the predecessors of playing cards. Therefore, some cards marked with numbers and letters can be played as playing cards themselves.
After asking, I found out that Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu didn't do any divination at all. After telling the owner the whole story, the owner, who had just graduated from college, immediately became gossipy and agreed to let the two in.
Playing cards and eating melons, and envying Lin Li and Chen Yuying.
However, Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu still paid the divination fee as tea money.
Anyway, Lin Li will reimburse it.
Lin Li really didn't mind spending the money. After all, in his eyes, he would be able to make the money back by selling Ding Sihan health products when she got older.
Just treat Ding Sihan as a bank and an investment.
I have to mention that opening a fortune-telling house in the market town of Xiling, which is not very developed and modern, is indeed a genius idea. In an hour and a half, there was not a single new customer, and Ding and Qu didn't even need to get up to make room for the customers.
"Sister, what do you think, opening a fortune-telling shop in the market?"
Ding Sihan saw some shadowy figures outside the house. Although someone stopped outside occasionally, no one came in. While shuffling the cards, he asked the owner of the house.
"...I was interested in this, and I asked around at the market, and found that no one else was running one, and then I thought this could work and be profitable..." The owner shrugged awkwardly:
"But it doesn't matter, because as long as I don't set up a stall on Pinglu Street, I don't charge stall fees, so even if I don't make any money, I don't lose money either."
Wow, freshly graduated college students are pure! Pure!
Bai Bufan gave a thumbs up.
"Sister, according to your idea, have you ever considered opening a coffee shop in the countryside? I heard that the older generation is very hardworking. When you make money, you can open a gym so that people in the village can come and exercise after finishing their farm work."
After an hour and a half of getting along, they had become quite familiar with each other, so Ding Sihan couldn't help but tease her.
Homeowner: “…”
Sister, your words are so hurtful.
"Ding Sihan, your ideas are too unreliable. There is a problem with the screening of target customers. The elderly are not interested in coffee and gyms at all." Bai Bufan frowned and shook his head when he heard this, and couldn't help complaining.
Upon hearing this, Ding Sihan frowned and stared at Bai Bufan suspiciously.
As everyone knows, Lin Li can't speak human language, and Bai Bufan is even less of a human.
Why are you so serious now?
"Do you have any ideas?" Ding Sihan asked tentatively.
"Hey! You've asked the right person!" If Lin Lizai had responded long ago, Bai Bufan had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
Putting down the oden, Dalmatian Bai Bufan raised a finger to the sky and looked at the owner: "Sister, I have a business opportunity that I have conducted market research on and it is definitely promising. I will share it with you for free as a reward for your kindness!"
"Sister, have you ever thought about opening a bar in a highway service area?"
Ding Sihan, Qu Wanqiu, and the owner: "(;☉_☉)?"
Bai Bufan's idea was like thunder breaking through the air, making the house silent all of a sudden, leaving only the clicking sound of the gears.
"This is a real blue ocean. Based on my nearly 16 years of experience, I found that no one has ever thought of opening a bar in a service area! There is no competition!"
"However, think about it, how many drivers who often drive long distances on the highway don't like to drink? This is different from rural gyms and coffee shops. The target customer portrait is extremely clear and accurate, and the granularity is instantly aligned."
"And when they enter the service area, isn't that when these people are the most tired and sleepy? A hearty dance and drinking are exactly what they need to relax. The underlying logic is instantly clear."
"This is simply a dimensionality reduction strike in the vertical field. Sister, imagine the future. When you are the first person to try it out, every service area in the country will have a bar of yours. What a spectacular scene it will be—"
Interspersed with a few incomprehensible Internet jargons, Bai Bufan had already spoken his mind, and the life and death of the audience was not important after all.
"..."
"..."
"Bai Bufan, then I really have to ask you, what about the driver's license..." Ding Sihan asked in a cold tone.
"What's wrong with the driver's license?" Bai Bufan said he had thought about it a long time ago, and waved his hand confidently: "It will be fine, I have studied it, there is no drunk driving check on the highway, don't worry."
Ding Sihan: “?”
"That seems to be really possible..." Ding Sihan nodded, turned to look at the owner and said, "Sister, would you like to try it? I can invest ten dollars."
Homeowner: “…”
To be honest, if Ding Sihan's suggestion to open a cafe and a gym was just to make him lose money, then Bai Bufan's suggestion was to make him lose his life.
The court might as well open its own door, so that the subpoena can be directly thrown over by paper plane, which is very convenient.
"Thank you, your intention is good, but please don't leave yet." The homeowner commented with a helpless smile.
"Let's not talk about why I opened this fortune-telling house. I'll get another pair and we can play double buckle."
The three had no objection.
The owner shuffled the cards and began dealing them.
Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu were chatting while Bai Bufan was waiting for the oden to reach the perfect temperature.
at this time.
"Boom-pop!!!"
Outside the already noisy house, the sound of fireworks exploding could be heard from not far away, roaring in the sky.
Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu's eyes lit up instantly.
coming!
Bai Bufan was stunned at first, then looked at the oden in his hand that was almost no longer hot, with a complicated look in his eyes.
There are so many trenches. If you don’t confess your feelings earlier or later, confess them now!
But after hesitating for a while, Bai Bufan put down the oden. Damn it, brothers are more important!
He stood up suddenly and followed Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu who were already running out of the house. Bai Bufan did not forget to turn around and say goodbye to the owner of the house:
"Sis, we have to go first! Bye!"
"Eh--"
The divination room, which was originally full of vitality, fell into silence again when the pulled curtains fell naturally.
It's out of tune with the hustle and bustle outside.
"Busy, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy." The female owner of the house who was left behind, still holding one hand forward, sighed and began to collect the cards on the table.
"call out--"
The door curtain was pulled open again, and the owner looked up. It was Bai Bufan.
"What's wrong?" The owner's eyes lit up.
Bai Bufan came to the oden and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation. Because it was hot, he had to stir it in his mouth for a few more rounds. Finally, he took a sip of the hot soup.
Damn, oden is important too!
The oden that I waited ten minutes to cool down is more important!
"Ahh... It's so hot... Sister Ha - Bye..."
——left again.
Homeowner: “…”
……
Wang Ze held Qian Ying's hand, and like most people now, watched the brilliant fireworks that suddenly bloomed in the distant night.
There is actually such an exciting program?
Why was there no advance notice?
Because, these are not the common fireworks that can be bought on the streets, these fireworks are extremely gorgeous.
It is obviously a special product that has been carefully crafted, and the price is probably not cheap.
"It seems that Xi Ling attaches great importance to Pinglu Market." Wang Ze sighed.
"Yes, I haven't seen this kind of fireworks for a long time." Qian Ying nodded on the side.
It is strictly prohibited to set off fireworks in Xiling City. If you live in the city, you will not be able to see them unless you go there specifically.
Sometimes I have to wonder if someone is planning to resurrect the Nian monster. Otherwise, why don’t we have a holiday or set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year?
During the Chinese New Year, office workers can post a message on their Moments: "What day is it today? It's as lively outside as Chinese New Year."
"Hey, it looks like there's a drone show." Qian Ying stretched out her hand, squinted her eyes, trying to see more clearly, and said in surprise.
"Really..." "Excuse me, please move aside, please move aside, please."
Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Ze, who was originally watching, turned his head suddenly.
Now that everyone is stopping to watch the fireworks, the presence of something moving at full speed stands out.
Sure enough, he had heard correctly. The person approaching him at full speed was Bai Bufan.
Running towards yourself?
Wang Ze shyly tilted his head, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, and loosened his hand from Qian Ying, scratching the back of his head, blushing slightly and not daring to look at Bai Bufan's nod:
"Yes, extraordinary, I am——"
"Excuse me, please make way for me--"
Bai Bufan walked between Wang Ze and Qian Ying without stopping.
Wang Ze: “?”
Aren't you here to find yourself?
Hey, fuck you, Bai Bufan, you have no heart!
See you on the bed in the dormitory tonight!
Wang Ze gritted his teeth.
"Wang Ze." The senior student's voice came.
"I'm here. What's wrong, baby?" Wang Ze looked at Qian Ying.
"Why did you let go? Don't you love me anymore?" Qian Ying was about to cry.
Wang Ze: “(;☉_☉)?”
"Eh? No! No!"
"Bai Bufan, I will make you a horse!"
Bai Bufan turned around while running. Did someone call his name just now?
Forget it, forget it.
……
Ten minutes ago.
When their foreheads were pressed against each other and their corners of foreheads touched, Lin Li could smell the fragrance between Chen Yuying's hair. Her pupils reflected each other, and the sparks in her eyes flickered with the rhythm of the rolling of his Adam's apple.
The clash of iron spoons from the distant sugar painting stall, the laughter and noise of tourists, and the rustling sound of lantern tassels being crushed by the wind suddenly collapsed into blurred background noise.
There are a lot of people around, but it seems like there are very few people around.
The hearts of the young boy and girl are now pointed, piercing their soft hearts sharply, reminding them of each other's existence, so clearly and uniquely.
Lin Li could clearly hear the sound of the girl swallowing her saliva, and her warm breath brushed across his knuckles, causing a slight itch.
Chen Yuying's face was burning hot, and she felt that the tips of her ears were so hot that they could burn through the night wind. The raised curve of Lin Li's wrist bones poked the tip of her nose, making her heartbeat even louder like a drum.
The human field of vision is only about 200 degrees, which is really small.
At this moment, Chen Yuying's eyes were completely occupied by the bright smiling faces, leaving no room for anything else.
"Don't say anything now. You can't like me now, okay?"
"Really, I can't do that now."
His voice came with his breath.
Chen Yuying still didn't answer immediately.
She stared at Lin Li in a daze.
She didn’t know—
After a moment, when she understood the meaning of Lin Li's smile, her eyebrows gradually curved, she nodded, and her lips brushed across his palm, softly.
"it is good."
At the end of the words, there was a sweet ending that Chen Yuying could hardly believe came from her own body.
"Then I'll let go."
When Chen Yuying nodded, Lin Li let go of her hand, put his hands around her shoulders, and turned her around: "Continue shopping until you finish, okay?"
"Ok."
"Be good, touch your head."
This time it had nothing to do with the big ice stalk. As Lin Li finished speaking, his hand also fell on the girl's head, ruffling her black hair and shifting her hair accessories.
The late touch that had made Chen Yuying a little angry for the whole day finally came true.
But Chen Yuying did not feel any emotion about it.
Because her mind was not here at all, she didn't even realize that Lin Li was touching her head.
As her body drove herself forward, Chen Yuying felt that her steps were softer than the marshmallows just now, or in other words, every footprint seemed to be stepping on clouds.
Her fingertips quietly climbed up the strands of hair behind her ears, stroking the edge of the hair accessory to check if it was crooked.
Chen Yuying suddenly regretted that she should have spent more time dressing herself up this morning and changed into another outfit. Would it be more suitable?
Do I look good enough now? Are my clothes messy? Is my makeup a little smudged now?
Countless worries overflowed from the bottom of my heart and lingered in my mind, but the corners of my mouth were always uncontrollably raised.
Before, Chen Yuying hoped that this river bank decorated with lanterns would never end and she could walk along it forever, but now, she just feels that it is too long and why it has not reached the end yet.
Shyness and expectation are condensed into amber in such a time.
It would be more accurate to say that the two of them were moving forward with the same goal rather than continuing to stroll around the market. In fact, no one had the energy to pay attention to the stalls on both sides.
Forward, forward, neither too fast nor too slow, but forward steadily.
After walking around for a whole day, we were already approaching the end of the market. Before long, the flow of people on the route gradually thinned out, and the stalls on both sides also began to become sparse.
The last stall was owned by a man wearing a frog head mask who was selling balloons. At this moment, the stall owner seemed to realize that the stall owner in front of him had left, leaving a better stall, so he rode his tricycle full of balloons and started moving forward.
Further ahead, there is only desolate darkness.
Finished shopping.
Chen Yuying stopped and turned back, pursed her lips and looked at Lin Li, just looking at him.
"I've finished my tour." Lin Li, who was holding his cell phone, spoke up when he saw this.
"Ah."
"Okay, then we should go back--" Lin Li paused, his peripheral vision noticed something, and pointed in surprise at something not far away, "Squad leader, look, what is that?"
Chen Yuying looked in the direction of her hand, and saw a faint red light flickering in the originally desolate darkness.
It seemed like it wasn't there just now.
"How about going over to take a look?" Lin Li asked seriously.
Chen Yuying turned around, looked at Lin Li for a few seconds, and then laughed out loud.
But after laughing, he covered his mouth, forced himself to be serious, and nodded heavily: "Yeah, okay~ Let's go and take a look~"
But when Chen Yuying said this, the breath began to turn into snorts from Lin Li's nose, and it became more and more intense, until he pressed his forehead with one hand, but still couldn't stop it. His whole body was shaking and he laughed out loud.
"Oh my..."
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Yuying stood there, with her hands folded behind her back, her face slightly tilted, looking up at Lin Li.
"Then squad leader, let me ask you, what are you laughing at?" Lin Li stopped smiling a little, looked directly into Chen Yuying's eyes and asked.
"Oh, it's all Wang Ze's fault. He ruined my surprise. Wasn't I a little exaggerated just now?"
Lin Li smiled and sighed, then straightened Chen Yuying and pushed her forward.
"Let's go!"
The red light flickered, guiding the direction of the two people.
When the two finally walked to the location of the red light, which was under the fence by the river, Chen Yuying bent down and pulled away the weeds, and found that there was only an electronic ball emitting red light, and nothing else.
"look up."
When the voice came from behind, Chen Yuying, who was holding the ball, raised her head.
The first golden-red firework suddenly exploded on the surface of the river, lighting up the night sky. The explosion startled the night birds perched on the willow branches.
The moment Chen Yuying looked up, thousands of streams of fire formed a light net on the dome. A swarm of drones took off from the opposite bank, and the light spots shattered by their rotors turned into fluorescent blue tracks, outlining a huge "C" and "L" among the fireworks and sparks.
The end of the "C" has not yet dissipated, and the "L" has turned into a tail ring that wraps around the letters, flowing in the air, and forming the Chinese character - "turn back".
"Turn around."
Lin Li's voice sounded again from behind.
The fireworks in the sky were still bright, but Chen Yuying turned around without hesitation, pressed down her hair that was lifted up by the night wind with her hands, and looked at the expectant boy and the boy's expectations.
Lin Li held in his hand a bouquet of flowers that he had taken out from somewhere, which was so bright and juicy. At the corner of his mouth appeared that brilliant, joyful, beautiful, and unrestrained smile that could not be concealed at all.
Fireworks were happening behind him and also in the boy’s pupils.
"Squad leader," Lin Li said.
"I'm here." The girl put her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, waiting for the confession to come.
"I think we need to talk."
"What to talk about?"
Chen Yuying's voice was so sweet that even she herself felt it was unfamiliar.
"of course,"
"Let's have a love affair."
