Chapter 125: Let's Think About It
Tan Zhixu walked over lazily from behind, her hands in her pockets, her expression indifferent as if she weren't the one who had just mocked her.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanzhe's face instantly stiffened.
But he still stubbornly retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I was asking Huanhuan's opinion, not yours."
His tone betrayed his barely concealed anger and embarrassment.
Tan Zhixu chuckled and turned his gaze to Xu Yihuan, his voice noticeably softening: "Then do you agree?"
Xu Yi laughed: "This is your stuff, asking me won't help."
"If you want to use it, why don't you ask him to write you an IOU? After all, it's such an expensive item, and if it gets broken, the repairs would be quite costly," Xu Yihuan suggested earnestly, tilting her head.
Hearing these words, Zhou Yanzhe's face turned pale and then red, feeling humiliated.
But he still stubbornly insisted, "How could he possibly afford such a good telescope..."
Tan Zhixu was a well-known poor but handsome guy in school, so how could he possibly afford such an expensive telescope?
Although Xu Yihuan was also very curious, she still wanted to say that Tan Zhixu had originally bought it himself.
Before he could finish speaking, Tan Zhixu interrupted him with two light coughs.
"Yeah, Huanhuan bought it for me? What do you think?"
"I haven't bought it for you, have I?"
Tan Zhixu stood close to Xu Yihuan behind her, and from a distance, their bodies were touching, creating an extremely ambiguous posture.
Zhou Yanzhe's expression darkened.
Xu Yihuan had indeed never spent that much money on him.
This telescope costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, while the most expensive thing Xu Yihuan bought for herself was a model of a warship, which cost 25,000 yuan.
She talks about Zhixu and feels he is better than she was back then.
This realization made Zhou Yanzhe feel a pang of disappointment.
I had prepared what to say, but now I don't know how to say it.
Just as they were at a loss, Pei Yuli's voice rang out.
"Zhou Yanzhe, come here for a moment."
Zhou Yanzhe breathed a sigh of relief and walked over in silence.
After Zhou Yanzhe left, Xu Yihuan became interested in the telescope again.
I opened the lid and looked around, but saw nothing.
Tan Zhixu stood behind her and reached out to help her adjust to a comfortable position.
A soft voice: "How about we try again?"
However, the sky is now covered with dark clouds, obscuring the sunlight and stars.
I can't see anything.
A gentle breeze blew by, carrying the scent of gardenias from Tan Zhixu to Xu Yihuan's nostrils.
Xu Yihuan's heart skipped a beat.
Unable to see anything, just as he was about to retreat in disappointment, Tan Zhixu's voice rang out in his ear from behind, as if he had mentioned it casually.
"Actually, of the nine planets mentioned above, Pluto is my favorite."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yihuan immediately felt as if she had found a kindred spirit.
"Me too!"
Tan Zhixu smiled, a tremor emanating from his chest.
Uncharacteristically ignoring Xu Yihuan's words, he continued, "I think Pluto is actually the most romantic constellation among the nine planets."
"Pluto married the girl he loved. Although it was by force, he only forced her to stay in the underworld for a third of the time. It was quite romantic."
Xu Yihuan swallowed hard.
As if sensing something, my heart started pounding uncontrollably.
"Why...why are you suddenly talking about this?"
As if to confirm Xu Yihuan's premonition, Tan Zhixu did not change the subject, but instead looked at Xu Yihuan seriously.
"Huanhuan, don't be afraid. I won't force you. Please consider me."
Her tone was tinged with a smile, carrying a gentleness that didn't fit her usual persona.
After speaking, Tan Zhixu fell silent.
Between the two, only the wind and their heartbeats remained.
For a long while, Xu Yihuan remained silent.
"I...I'll think about it some more."
"No, don't misunderstand, it's just that right now... I don't know what it feels like to like someone... I..."
As if afraid that Tan Zhixu would distance himself from her, Xu Yihuan hurriedly offered an explanation.
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhixu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was so nervous because you haven't spoken for so long."
"Okay, think about it."
The next sentence returned to Tan Zhixu's usual lazy tone, as if he didn't care much about Xu Yihuan's words.
After saying that, Tan Zhixu turned and left.
Return to the mat in front of the tent.
The remaining four people had already started playing a card game.
Tan Zhixu wandered around aimlessly, looking at other people's cards.
Every now and then I'd get shoved by one person, and then someone else would laugh and curse at me.
Tan Zhixu remained good-tempered and did not lose his temper.
In the end, he simply sat quietly next to Lu Shui.
Although he had a smile on his face, he was always absent-minded.
Xu Yihuan withdrew her gaze, a strange sense of loss welling up in her heart.
She pursed her lips and reached out to force a smile.
I took two deep breaths, kept a straight face, and walked towards them as if nothing had happened.
Soon, the four-player card game became a six-player game.
It was now completely dark.
"When do you think the meteor shower will come? It looks much darker than before."
"The moon hasn't even come out yet, will it rain?"
Lu Anlan said as he played his cards.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately felt a subtle somberness in the air.
Lu Shui felt a little panicked: "No way, then we've come all this way for nothing?"
"It's okay, let's just treat it as a camping trip. We have tents, and we don't have class tomorrow."
"Huanhuan is right."
Six people take turns drawing cards.
There was also a small table lamp next to it.
In the noisy, dark atmosphere, this small lamp seemed especially warm and inviting.
Laughter and cheerful voices continued to reach the ears of those nearby.
It makes food taste bland.
Pei Yutang ate as if nothing had happened.
Looking at the sky, I can't help but feel a little worried.
In the past, even if the night sky in Beijing was dark, it would never be this dark.
Not a single ray of moonlight could be seen in the sky.
"Will it rain later?"
"It's alright, we've already had someone send the tent over," Pei Yuli said.
They only realized when they saw that the neighbors had set up tents that they had never thought they might spend the night on the mountain, and they hadn't even brought a tent.
Fortunately, Pei Yuli has already sent it over.
It should arrive in another half hour.
As soon as he finished speaking, a drop of rain hit Pei Yuli's forehead.
Pei Yuli fell silent immediately.
"It's not going to rain so soon, is it?"
It seems to be in response to Pei Yuli's idea.
Large raindrops began to fall rapidly.
It hit people repeatedly, and although it didn't hurt, it quickly soaked their clothes.
A cool breeze blew by, and the wet area felt instantly cold.
Pei Yuli took off his coat and draped it over Pei Yutang.
After all, I was the one who brought her out here.
Pei Yuli quickly disassembled and stored the telescope that was on the stand.
Then, his gaze unconsciously drifted towards Xu Yihuan.
Seeing Xu Yihuan wearing a men's jacket and walking into the tent, his eyes darkened.
Whose coat is she wearing?
The rain came very suddenly, and Xu Yihuan hurriedly packed her things and prepared to return to her tent.
Just then, someone grabbed my wrist.
"Huanhuan, since you brought a tent, let Tangtang go in and take shelter too. Tangtang isn't in good health, and she'll easily catch a cold if she gets soaked in the rain."
