Chapter 337 Love and abstraction, both must move forward courageously
The door curtain of the fortune-telling house was lifted up and then dropped down by the night wind, leaving the lonely owner of the house alone, standing outside the door admiring the fireworks show in the distance. The "Lovers" tarot card in her hand was slowly curling up with the strength of her fingers.
"The Dui hexagram represents joy, the Tarot is in the right position, and it is the "Nine of Cups" and the "Star", the fate palace has peach blossoms moving - "guard the heart and turn it into good luck", at this moment, "it is appropriate to express your true feelings", well, it feels like he should have succeeded in his confession."
The owner of the house said softly.
Passersby who happened to hear it were stunned.
So these were the fireworks that someone set off to express their love? But that's not important now. What's important is, what did the tarot reader just mutter? !
Where the hell is this coming from? Is this still Tarot?
"Hello, can I ask you to tell my fortune?" However, the passerby felt that he had to try this combination of Chinese and Western metaphysics.
……
riverside.
Under the night sky, the fireworks are as brilliant as broken dreams pouring down from the Milky Way.
When the night wind blows by, the brilliance accumulated in the sky is shaken off and becomes a backward flowing star rain.
At this moment, there is only each other in the eyes of the two people, and the world revolves around them.
Lin Li held the bouquet of flowers and continued with a smile:
"Let's have a relationship, what do you think?"
"How long will it take?" Chen Yuying held the small ball that was still flashing red light, stared at Lin Li, and spoke softly.
"I'm not greedy, just talk about it until 'tomorrow'." Lin Li has always been easy to talk to.
"Is that so? I'll think about it then."
Chen Yuying did not follow his wishes and ask what to do "the day after tomorrow". She just turned her head and looked at the fireworks and drone show specially set off for her, pretending to be hesitant and thoughtful.
"Don't think about it. Come on, squad leader. This flower is very heavy. I don't want to hold it. Just agree to it."
Lin Li had returned to his nature as a subordinate, extending the bouquet forward with an impatient tone that was quite disappointing.
But because there are so many of them, it doesn't spoil the fun.
"Heh--" She clenched her fist and put it against her lips, as if this could cover up her laughter. Chen Yuying took a step forward, shortening the distance between them. She took the bouquet from Lin Li's hands and held it in her arms.
The girl nodded and gave an answer that both he and she knew well:
"Okay, let's talk about it."
Hearing these words, Lin Li licked the corner of his mouth, then bit his lower lip with his upper teeth, telling himself that he must hold it in, but in the end, he still turned into the crooked-mouthed dragon king.
Even though I knew I would succeed, even though I had made countless mental preparations, when the moment really came, when the words of agreement reached my ears, I could not contain my joy.
Anyone who can stop laughing can be diagnosed with depression.
"Can you say it again? I didn't hear it clearly just now." Lin Li asked.
"I said..." Chen Yuying, who was very natural and generous when she answered for the first time, spoke loudly in the first half of the sentence, but perhaps she also felt the rolling feelings in her heart at this moment, so she suddenly raised the bouquet, half covered her face, and spoke softly:
"...I promise to have this relationship with you."
"..."
"Lin Li," perhaps this was not enough to express her feelings. Under the bouquet, the girl's voice flowed in the sonata of fireworks: "I like you."
A voice that will make your heart beat faster even if you hear it ten thousand times.
"Is that so?" Lin Li said with a smile, "Then Yingbao, I like you."
Finally, I can call Yingbao openly like Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu, that’s great.
"I said it first, why not "I like you, too?" Chen Yuying raised her head and asked in confusion.
"Because my liking you is not based on the premise that you like me. I have always liked you. Even if your answer is "I don't like you", I will still "like you." Lin Li said in a gentle voice.
Chen Yuying turned around and looked at the fireworks, not wanting Lin Li to see her blushing face.
The sweetness in my chest spread throughout my body like blood, affecting all my internal organs, and my hands and feet felt numb and weak.
My heart is beating fast, my thoughts are boiling, and the world is dizzy and blurry.
Lin Li walked to Chen Yuying's side and watched the grand fireworks with her.
"Are you happy?" Chen Yuying calmed down a little. Feeling that something was missing, she turned to look at Lin Li and asked.
"what?"
"The happiness after the successful confession." Chen Yuying's eyes sparkled.
“Probably, 95% happy.”
Lin Li turned sideways towards Chen Yuying, and as he spoke, he hugged the back of his head again.
Just like last weekend.
How could Chen Yuying not understand what this meant? Besides, this was what she wanted. She took a step forward, leaned forward, and rested her face on Lin Li's chest. The branches of the bouquet rustled between their clothes.
This time, there is no need to 'escape' like last time.
It doesn’t matter who’s watching.
No, it’s better for her father not to watch it for now. Chen Yuying is afraid that he might have a heart attack at such a young age.
But dad and other things are not important things for now, so let’s just give them some space from my thoughts.
Chen Yuying closed her eyes.
Under the slightly cool fabric, my heart is beating rapidly. Is it beating for myself?
The moment Chen Yuying leaned against him, Lin Li's hand, which was on the back of her head, was about to move. This time he would not miss the target like he did last time. He began to move down immediately as if he was afraid that the other party would escape.
When his palm touched Chen Yuying's scattered hair, he paused. The loose hair with body temperature flowed through his fingers like a stream. His curled fingers couldn't help but stretch out, sliding along the curve of her neck to his shoulders.
Chen Yuying rested her forehead against Lin Li's collarbone, and her collar rubbed against her chin, causing a slight itch.
Lin Li's arms naturally wrapped around her waist, touching her soft curves through the fabric, and his fingertips unconsciously hooked onto the knitted pattern on the edge of her hem.
The breathing of the two people gradually became smoother between the intertwined clothes, and Chen Yuying's hand that was clinging to his back slowly loosened and clasped his back.
The fireworks seemed to know who the protagonist they were serving was, and they burned out at the right moment, leaving only snow-white embers floating on the river. The drone also fell to the ground and disappeared on the other side of the river.
Then only the faint moonlight was left, spying on the two of them openly.
"Are you sad?" Lin Li suddenly asked.
"What are you sad about?" Chen Yuying was a little confused and opened her eyes and looked up.
"The sadness of failing to confess my feelings." Lin Li said with a smile.
"Who? ...Who failed in his confession!"
Chen Yuying was stunned for a moment, then she realized what Lin Li meant and said with amusement and shyness.
"I just blocked your mouth and stopped you from talking. It's obvious that I rejected you. If this isn't a failed confession, then what is it? Squad leader, remember, I am the man who rejected you once." Lin Li was a little proud.
"Then I'm angry, and I'm going to reject you now too."
"It's useless. The matter is settled. Remember, a message sent after two minutes cannot be withdrawn. Rejection is invalid."
"cut."
The river gurgled, and the two said nothing more, enjoying the warmth of the embrace.
The noise in the distance seemed to have just begun to reach the ears of the two as time passed.
Gradually, it was no longer just the moonlight that spied on the two of them.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Li patted Chen Yuying's back gently, breaking the beautiful silence again.
"I'm not thinking about anything." Chen Yuying closed her eyes, sniffed the unique scent of Lin Li's clothes, and said softly: "What about you?"
"I was thinking, your center of gravity is on me now. If I dodge to the side at this moment, will you fall to the ground with a plop, drop your pearls and say 'I don't want to play with you anymore'?" Lin Li replied.
"Lin Li, you are still good at ruining the atmosphere." Chen Yuying knocked on Lin Li's back with her fist, saying dissatisfiedly.
"Well, I was actually wondering if Ding Zi would use the video that is being recorded now to threaten me. You know, I don't think she is a good person. She is not even a human being. She is very evil." Lin Li changed his words.
Chen Yuying raised her head suddenly like a frightened deer, and subconsciously tried to get out of Lin Li's arms, but Lin Li held her too tightly, making it impossible for her to do so.
Chen Yuying gave in to him and stopped struggling, but just began to look around vigilantly.
Then, she saw the direction of Pinglu Street not far away.
At this time, Ding Sihan, Qu Wanqiu and Bai Bufan were all standing at a stall not far away, looking at this place from afar.
Ding Sihan was the most outrageous. He even used a cell phone to violently assault Lin Li and Chen Yuying.
privacy.
"what……"
After realizing that these three people had been watching this for who knows how long, Chen Yuying let out a moan. Unable to struggle free, she simply acted like an ostrich and buried her head in Lin Li's arms.
The hug tightened.
Hehe, the plan works.
Lin Li felt that he was simply a genius.
But it was not a good idea to hold it all the time, mainly because the three light bulbs were still waiting, so Lin Li finally let go of her hand, smiled and rubbed Chen Yuying's head, and held her right hand that was not holding the flower with his left hand, and said softly:
"Come on, go over there."
"Hmm..." Chen Yuying also knew that it was impossible to hide forever, so she held Lin Li's hand and followed him to the market.
"Yo yo yo--"
“Tsk, tsk, tsk—”
"Wang Wang Wang-"
As soon as she got closer, she could hear the teasing voices of Ding, Qu and Bai, which made Chen Yuying even more afraid to look them in the eye. She lowered her head and tried to hide behind Lin Li.
"Lin Li, did you succeed?" Bai Bufan approached and asked seriously. "...Alas, failed." Lin Li closed his eyes in pain, holding Chen Yuying's hand, and shook his head.
"Haha, then you are really a waste!" Bai Bufan put his hands on his hips.
"I'm sorry to disappoint everyone."
"Just saying sorry is enough? You have no sincerity at all. Kneel down and let me see your tongue!"
"Your mother! I tolerated stealing my emojis, but you also stole my dirty talk and used it on me!"
"Yingbao, you won't abandon us in the future, right?"
Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu were too lazy to pay attention to Bai Bufan and Lin Li, the two psychos. They went straight past Lin Li and went to Chen Yuying, and started NTR in front of her, pretending to be pitiful.
Sensing the two people approaching, Chen Yuying tried to pull her hand away from Lin Li's.
This time, Lin Li did not hug her like he did just now to prevent her from escaping.
Chen Yuying is still relatively thin-skinned after all, especially when facing the teasing of her best friend.
So Lin Li let go of his hand and watched the three girls chattering with a smile.
"No, no way." Chen Yuying moved up with the bouquet of flowers to cover her face.
“Ahhh, shy Yingbao is so adorable,” Ding Sihan went over and rubbed Chen Yuying’s cheek, then kicked Lin Li: “Lin Li, you’re such an eyesore, can you please get out of here?”
Lin Li shrugged and stepped aside, patting his trouser legs.
The two of them hadn't kicked themselves all day today, and they must have been holding it in too long - now that they've finished their confession, their clothes and pants are all dirty.
This is human nature. We need to become more proficient in the art of judging people and in socializing.
"It's okay, Lin Li. Even though they dislike you, you still have me, Li Bao. You won't abandon me in the future, right?"
But Lin Li is not alone, he has many friends. Bai Bufan saw Lin Li's predicament and came up to him shyly.
Lin Li immediately shook his head and said calmly: "It is illegal to abandon pets casually."
"Hey my god Linli, why are you so mean? Why are you still Jianzhong even when you are in love?"
Bai Bufan stopped laughing for a moment, then looked at Chen Yuying and raised his hand:
"Squad leader, I am reporting that I actually had an affair with Lin Li and had an improper relationship with him."
As long as he could frame Lin Li, Bai Bufan was willing to sacrifice his reputation - after all, he had already been penetrated from behind by the medical examination doctor, so he was already... not clean...
"It's okay, you two can continue to be promiscuous. Our Yingbao is not here to break you up. We are here to be the mistress." Ding Sihan answered for Chen Yuying.
"That's right," Lin Li also patted Bai Bufan on the shoulder, "Our country firmly adheres to monogamy, which means that a person can have one husband and one wife without any conflict. Baby, I still love you, don't be jealous."
Bai Bufan shrugged and sighed helplessly.
The four of them were talking nonsense, and Lin Li was thick-skinned, so only Chen Yuying felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and said nothing.
The four of them looked at each other and laughed.
After the teasing, the five people still had the three girls walking in front, with Lin Li and Bai Bufan following behind.
However, everyone's attention is not on the stalls on both sides.
"Yuying, how do you feel? Are you surprised? You never expected Lin Li to confess his love at this critical moment?"
"How did you feel when you saw the fireworks? What were you thinking about? What did Lin Li say when he confessed his love?"
Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu could no longer help but transform into stubborn badgers, eager to get first-hand information.
"She knows I want to confess my feelings." Lin Li, who was following behind, couldn't help but smile and told her.
"Ah?" Ding Sihan turned around in confusion, "How did she know? Did we go too far to give you two some space to be alone? That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Bai Bufan turned his head away feeling a little guilty when he heard that.
No, it was Lin Liqi who was the one who was guilty of the trade.
"Neither of them, it's all Wang Ze's fault." Lin Li smiled and passed the blame on to others.
"What does it have to do with Wang Ze?" Ding Sihan was even more confused and curious.
Lin Li told the three people the whole story.
"what?"
"Ah, you mean Yingbao was going to confess to you just now? What do you mean two-way? Oh my god! Kill Bai Bufan to help these two! It's so good!"
Ding Sihan didn't even have time to care about the explosive news that Wang Ze had successfully hooked up with her senior. This was what shocked her at the moment.
Bai Bufan was also looking for a suitable weapon, ready to kill himself.
Oh my god, Lin Li is really in a sweet relationship. He is still a trader, but if he dies, he will be sold as dog meat!
"I am a man among men, a male among males. I resolutely rejected the class monitor's proposal, but the price I paid was that the class monitor knew that I was asking for a partner. Alas, the sense of surprise was indeed gone."
Lin Li sighed:
"Come to think of it, the monitor is too casual. He actually planned to confess his love just because he saw a couple."
"It was just a matter of one sentence..."
Chen Yuying felt that she had reasons to argue, so she refuted weakly.
Then, her brain, which seemed slow tonight, realized something belatedly. She looked at Ding Sihan and Qu Wanqiu with her bright eyes slightly opened:
"Sihan, Wanqiu, it turns out you already know what happened tonight?"
“Yes,” Ding Sihan nodded. There was no need to hide it at this time: “Yuying, didn’t you hug Lin Li in front of me last week? He decided to confess this week.
Because he thinks this is a sign that you don't intend to continue the ambiguous relationship.
Although Lin Li also thinks that for the two of you, it is just a matter of a few words on QQ or WeChat, but for the sake of the sense of ceremony, you still have to prepare. "
At that time, Lin Li called Ding Sihan "Mom" in the garage downstairs of her house to discuss this matter.
He asked Ding Sihan to give him some advice, and the two of them worked out the basic outline of this week's plan together.
The little ball that glows red doesn't flash all the time. The remote control is on Lin Li, so there is no need to worry about someone discovering it before Chen Yuying, and then finding it and taking it away, causing the follow-up to be unable to proceed.
As for the location, that was the reason why Lin Li came here yesterday, to confirm the approximate location.
When Lin Li heard on Monday that Wang Ze was planning to come to Pinglu and confess his love, he sighed, "What a coincidence." He was not only sighing about coming to Pinglu, but also about the fact that he was planning to confess his love.
"I originally planned to use the 'can be a little too extreme' requirement to coerce you," Lin Li added with a smile, "but later I realized that it was unnecessary. I'd better save this requirement for doing other bad things in the future."
"You actually kept it a secret from me..." Chen Yuying pursed her lips. There was no tone of blame in her words, but a hint of smile:
"So, do you also have a small group without me?"
"That's true. Bai Bufan and I just found out about it yesterday. We've been isolated." Qu Wanqiu shrugged.
"Support." Bai Bufan nodded.
"People who can't keep secrets in their hearts and dogs don't deserve to know in advance, so just isolate them." Lin Li showed no remorse.
"Hey, Lin Li, where did you make this flower? I'm really curious."
Bai Bufan looked at the flowers in Chen Yuying's hand with some curiosity.
Yesterday I asked Lin Li if he needed help in this regard, but Lin Li said he was ready.
The bouquet is so large that it is impossible to hide it on the body.
"I hid in the bushes at the confession point." Lin Li made up an excuse that sounded decent.
Of course, it is actually placed in the "Qiankun Ring", and it was bought last week.
The size of the current "Qiankun Ring" is enough to hold such a bouquet of flowers, and it can also keep the flowers fresh perfectly.
This is the meaning of cultivating immortals!
If the manufacturer of the system knew about this, he would be smiling in his grave.
"What about the fireworks and drones? Did you make an appointment in advance to have someone set them off for you across the street?" Bai Bufan asked again.
"That's definitely not the case. It's so easy for accidents to happen when making appointments. There must be someone waiting on the other side all the time. They just need a message from me to start." Lin Li explained immediately.
"Oh my god, someone is waiting for you?" Bai Bufan's eyes widened. "How much will it cost?"
"It's not bad. The total cost was 4,700 yuan. The drone is a bit expensive, including the control. Although it was a very simple performance, it still cost more than 2,000 yuan. As for fireworks, you get what you pay for. I think the more than 1,000 yuan is worth it. It is really beautiful. It is not expensive to have someone waiting for you. In fact, it only added 200 yuan..."
Lin Li reported the detailed expenses one by one.
Bai Bufan swallowed his saliva, shook his head and sighed: "Oh my god..."
Four thousand seven is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for an ordinary high school student.
Bai Bufan's weekly living expenses when living on campus, excluding weekends, are only two hundred yuan - this money may not sound like much, but the cafeteria at Nansang School is very cheap after subsidies. This money can be used to charge a meal card for consumption in the cafeteria and the school supermarket, and is completely enough to live a comfortable life, excluding weekends at school.
But if you include the weekends, the money becomes tight, but my family will give me extra money.
Lin Li's ten minutes, rounded off, cost him a semester's regular living expenses.
"Groove's rich brother, there's already a sadly thick barrier between us."
But it was not the first time that Bai Bufan knew that Lin Li had suddenly become a wealthy man, so he did not ask where the money came from. He just looked at the night sky and began to sigh:
“I hope that in my next life, I can smell the scent of the expensive skin care products on my mother, hear the hearty laughter of my father, and feel the touch of my military grandfather’s sturdy hands.
When I opened my eyes, I saw my grandfather, the chairman, going out to work with his secretary. On his left hand was a jade bracelet passed down from my grandmother's family. At this time, my stomach made a rumbling sound. The head nurse of the high-end confinement center, who was dressed neatly and well-trained, gently picked me up and brought me to the huge floor-to-ceiling window to feed me.
Looking sideways at the tall building in front of me, the noble grandma said kindly, "Fortune whispers, my little angel, it seems that you like that building very much? Hahaha, dear, you are its owner."
Bai Bufan has entered into fantasy time, imagining this beauty and even starting role-playing.
Seeing how happy he was, Lin Li smiled and added:
“It will come true.”
Bai Bufan looked at Lin Li suspiciously. He didn't believe that Lin Li could understand human nature.
Lin Li finished his words: "But at night, you will see your nanny walking towards you with her newborn baby."
Bai Bufan: “?”
