Chapter 293: Take You to See the Stars

The place where they had dinner was indeed very close to the Bund. After driving for a few minutes, they saw the changing lights of the Waibaidu Bridge.

Liu Wangxue pointed to the right and said, "Look, that's the bridge where Yiping jumped into the river."

Xu Qingsong reacted: "Yiping?"

"You don't know, do you?" Liu Wangxue thought it was quite strange and said the name of the play, "This play was very popular in the country back then."

Xu Qingsong remembered.

During the first summer vacation in junior high school, their family returned to Taojia Village. When he went to Tao Huayu's house to play, the brother and sister were sitting together in the living room, eating watermelon and staring at the old fat color TV, which was broadcasting this drama at that time.

Xu Qingsong remembered that for several days in a row, when he went to see Tao Huayu, he was watching dramas with his sister. He had never been interested in these dramas. Although he watched them for a few days when he was at Tao's house, he still found it boring and stopped going. It was not until the show was over that Tao Huayu came to find him.

Xu Qingsong said: "I just watched a few episodes in the middle."

Then he asked: "Isn't it just a love affair? Why did you jump into the river?"

Liu Wangxue laughed out loud: "Because the thorn was gone, she climbed up the bridge drunk to look for her thorn, and then jumped down unconsciously."

"What thorn?" Xu Qingsong really hadn't seen much of it and had no idea about this plot.

Liu Wangxue said: "The thorn is her self. She has completely lost herself in love. It's time for her to jump into the river and clean her brain."

The car drove onto the bridge and passed through the lights. Xu Qingsong quickly turned his head to glance at Liu Wangxue and said, "Does that mean there is something wrong with this relationship itself? I think a good relationship will not make people lose themselves, but will make them achieve themselves."

"You're right." Liu Wangxue agreed. "I rewatched the drama with my mom when I was at home, and I suddenly realized that Yiping and Shuhuan are not suitable for each other at all."

"What do you mean?"

"I think Shuhuan's love for Yiping is a bit like a top-down rescue and transformation," Liu Wangxue said. "He puts himself in a high position and hopes that Yiping will listen to him in everything and become what he wants. And when he finds out that he can't change or save Yiping, he will give up this relationship and abandon this person."

"What about Yiping? What's her attitude?" Xu Qingsong asked.

Liu Wangxue said: "Yiping's original family couldn't give her everything, but Shuhuan had it all, so I think she fell in love with Shuhuan probably because she regarded him as a kind of emotional sustenance. When she met Shuhuan, she was sharp and extreme, and Shuhuan's gentleness and tolerance were what she longed for. Although she said she didn't want to, she finally compromised and changed for Shuhuan."

"But there was a turning point." Liu Wangxue turned to look at Xu Qingsong, "When Shuhuan read her diary, he felt that Yiping had always lived in hatred. He couldn't understand, nor could he tolerate. He felt that he could not heal this thorny girl, so he chose to leave."

"It's really hard to judge this kind of person," Xu Qingsong said after listening. "Doesn't he see Yiping's compromise and change?"

"Maybe it doesn't meet his standards." Liu Wangxue took the bunch of lilies of the valley in front of the windshield and played with it, and even picked one and pinned it on her ear.

Xu Qingsong noticed her movements and smiled unconsciously, and continued, "Then he is really not suitable for Yiping. In fact, it is normal for two people in love to compromise. Where there is love, there will be compromise. However, compromise and change should be two-way, and should be seen and cherished."

"You're right!" Liu Wangxue plucked another small bell and put it on Xu Qingsong's ear. "It's a reward for you."

"You reward me with the flowers I gave you. You are really..." The smile on Xu Qingsong's face widened. He turned his head quickly to look at her, and suddenly he didn't know what to say next.

Liu Wangxue was looking at him with her head tilted. The lights outside the car window were bright, and light and shadows passed alternately across her face. Although it was just a quick glance, Xu Qingsong still clearly saw the dimple, which complemented the lily of the valley beside her ear.

"Hmm? What am I really?" Liu Wangxue continued to look at Xu Qingsong, "Why don't you say anything?"

Xu Qingsong said silently in his heart: "I'm driving."

He looked straight ahead, his tone showing his love: "So cute and beautiful!"

The car was filled with their laughter.

Xu Qingsong drove the car into the Bund parking garage, found a place to park, and the two got out of the car and walked towards the exit. The ground exit here is the Bund Observation Deck.

The wind was strong by the river. Before I reached the top of the stairs, the lily of the valley on my ear was blown off and directly sank into the green belt beside it.

"Oh, my flower--" Liu Wangxue stretched out her hand to protect it but failed. When she turned around to look for it, she couldn't see it anymore.

She looked up at the flower on Xu Qingsong's ear, and it was gone too. She suddenly felt a little regretful.

Xu Qingsong asked her, "Are you reluctant to let go?"

Liu Wangxue said, "I wouldn't have taken it off if I had known."

The two walked up the last few steps, reached the observation deck, and walked slowly along the river.

The lights from the buildings on the opposite bank were reflected down, dispersed by the river water and then gathered together again. The cruise ships on the river seemed to be sailing in a stream of light, making them look like unreal phantoms.

There were quite a lot of people around, most of them were tourists, some holding selfie sticks and some holding mobile phones, all gathering to check in.

Xu Qingsong suddenly said, "Wait for me."

"Where are you going?"

After Liu Wangxue asked, he saw him running towards an auntie who was selling balloons, took out his mobile phone, scanned the code, and bought a flower-shaped hydrogen balloon.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Liu Wangxue was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at him walking back with the hydrogen balloon. Only when he was right in front of her did she smile sweetly.

"Here," Xu Qingsong handed the rope to her and loosely wrapped the end of the rope around her fingers a few times, "It won't be blown away now."

Liu Wangxue raised her hands and let him do what he wanted: "Are you treating me like a child?"

Xu Qingsong wrapped the rope around her fingertips and tied a beautiful bow. He raised his hand and touched her head, smiling: "Good girl——"

Liu Wangxue slapped him on the shoulder.

Xu Qingsong didn't hide, but covered the place where she hit him: "It hurts!"

"Stop pretending." Liu Wangxue said. She didn't use any strength at all.

At this time, a child's voice came: "Mom, I want a balloon too."

"You are a big kid now, it's not appropriate for you to play with balloons anymore," said the child's mother.

The child pointed at Liu Wangxue and said, "That auntie is already an adult, but the uncle still bought her balloons."

The mother walked away with the child: "Didn't you see the auntie hitting the uncle? She just doesn't like being treated like a child."

The child couldn't argue with his mother, and as he was being led forward, he still looked back at the big bunch of balloons at Aunt Balloon's place.

Xu Qingsong took the opportunity to say to Liu Wangxue: "Look at her, she doesn't even have what she wants. I took the initiative to buy it for you, and you still hit me."

Liu Wangxue pulled the rope and watched the balloon floating back and forth in the wind. He couldn't help laughing: "Did I hit you because of the balloon?"

The balloon flew into Xu Qingsong's arms. He held it with both hands and pressed it against Liu Wangxue's cheek: "No."

"That's good to know." Liu Wangxue took the balloon back, played with it in his hand, and continued walking forward with Xu Qingsong.

After walking a short distance, she suddenly took Xu Qingsong's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the stars."
