Chapter 48: A Bad Start
Li Zexi had been to this place several times in his previous life. Once I also celebrated New Year's Eve here with my roommates, and the scene then was very similar to this moment.
There are a lot of people around.
Most of them were young people, holding balloons, holding glow sticks, and wearing glow circles and wristbands.
Waiting for the countdown to zero with excitement on my face.
There are lights and decorations everywhere and it is very lively.
Li Zexi put his hands in his pockets, buried his chin in his scarf, and wore a gray woolen hat on his head.
The tip of his nose, exposed outside, was red from the cold.
Guo Kai stood beside him, glancing at him from time to time.
After staring for a while, he suddenly laughed.
Li Zexi asked curiously: "What are you laughing at?"
Guo Kai raised his lips and said: "I feel like we are on a date."
Li Zexi chuckled: "I think you should stop feeling that way."
Guo Kai: "..."
The countdown was about to begin, and as time passed, Guo Kai became more and more nervous.
He prepared a confession in his mind and rehearsed it over and over again, thinking about what expression, tone, and wording he would use to make Li Zexi agree to him quickly.
It would be best if you were so moved that you burst into tears on the spot.
He had almost no knowledge in this area and no experience at all. After racking his brains for a long time, he was able to barely put together a few sentences that he thought were very cool.
Hope it works, no, it will definitely work.
There were many boys holding roses in their hands.
Guo Kai wondered if everyone was like him, ready to make a grand confession to their loved one when the important moment came?
He suddenly felt annoyed. Why didn't he think of buying a bouquet of flowers in advance? Would Li Zexi feel that he was joking if he came empty-handed?
But then I thought, two boys giving flowers in public would seem too eye-catching and shocking, so I decided to give up.
The more Guo Kai thought about it, the more nervous he became. His hands in his pockets began to tremble uncontrollably.
As the crowd began to stir, the pendulum clock finally struck its first resounding note.
Next comes the second tone, and the third tone.
Each cry was drowned out by the overwhelming waves of screams around them.
"Bang bang bang..." A bunch of colorful firework umbrellas were sprayed into the air.
The black sky suddenly began to rain colorful rain.
Everyone cheered excitedly and enthusiastically, Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
There are some alternative voices interspersed in it, such as "I like you", "Please be my girlfriend"...
Li Zexi was also very excited. A few months ago, he would never have thought that he would actually see the New Year's Eve scene from nine years ago again with his own eyes.
Just as he clenched his hands into a trumpet, put it to his mouth, and was ready to shout out.
However, Guo Kai pulled him slightly.
Li Zexi turned his head and saw Guo Kai with a nervous expression on his face. He looked at him and said something to him.
Because the surrounding noise was too loud, there was also the deafening sound of fireworks and firecrackers.
Li Zexi only saw his mouth opening and closing, but did not hear clearly what he said.
Li Zexi came closer and yelled, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again."
Guo Kai's expression became even weirder, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
He repeated it quickly.
Li Zexi still didn't hear clearly, and wanted to get closer to ask him to speak louder.
Suddenly a figure flashed across his sight and disappeared in an instant. Li Zexi's face froze, he hesitated for only two seconds, and immediately ran after him.
Guo Kai looked at Li Zexi's fleeing back in astonishment. He stood there in a daze as he saw him running farther and farther away.
I thought, is my confession so scary? Just scare people away?
Guo Kai was stunned for a while, then he realized what was going on and ran over in a rage.
…
On the other side, Li Zexi went out to look for a boy from the same school, a senior who was one year older than him.
This boy is Li Zexi’s first love. No, to be precise, he is Li Zexi’s first love, Chen Mengru, in his previous life.
Nine years have passed and his memory of what his first love looked like is already vague.
But the moment the boy appeared, Li Zexi recognized him immediately.
Li Zexi chased after him breathlessly and grabbed the boy's arm.
The boy staggered and turned around to look at him in surprise.
"Classmate, what do you want?" the boy asked.
Li Zexi held on to him without letting go. Before he could even catch his breath, he just subconsciously chased after him without even thinking about what he was going to do.
I just stared at the boy silently, looking at the face of my first love, but the feeling of being moved as before was no longer there, not even a ripple.
But he did have something to tell him, something very important, but he didn't know where to start.
This encounter was so sudden that he had no idea what to say.
While he was in a daze, one of the two companions who were accompanying the boy asked him: "Chu Fei, who is he? Do you know him?"
Chu Fei shook his head in confusion: "I don't know him."
Then he asked Li Zexi: "Classmate, did you recognize the wrong person?"
Before Li Zexi opened his mouth, he heard footsteps approaching from behind, and Guo Kai's voice came over: "Li Zexi, why are you running? And you're running so fast. I almost…"
He swallowed the rest of the words back before he could even say them out loud.
The scene he saw made him pull his face down.
I saw Li Zexi standing with three handsome guys, and he was pulling and tugging with the tallest one among them. I didn't know what they were talking about.
Several people heard the voice and turned to look at the same time.
Then they saw a handsome boy looking at them with a bad expression.
Li Zexi asked, "Why did you follow me?"
Guo Kai walked up to the group of people step by step and stared at Li Zexi holding the boy's hand.
Then he raised his eyebrows and asked Li Zexi coldly: "Who are they?"
Li Zexi didn't know what to say, so he replied without thinking: "They are also students of X University, one year older than us."
Now it was Chu Fei's turn to be surprised. Chu Fei asked: "Classmate, do you really know us?"
Li Zexi nodded, then shook his head.
Chu Fei laughed: "Do you know him or not?"
Before Li Zexi could answer, Guo Kai growled gloomily: "Li Zexi, why don't you let go?"
Li Zexi seemed to have just reacted and quickly let go of Chu Fei's arm.
Chu Fei smiled gently again: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Li Zexi didn't say anything and finally shook his head.
Chu Fei nodded slightly and said: "Okay, then we will withdraw first, and we will see you again if we are lucky."
After saying that, he waved to Li Zexi and walked away chatting and laughing with his two companions.
Seeing those people walking away, Guo Kai stepped in front of Li Zexi and asked: "Li Zexi, do you know that person? Who is he?"
Li Zexi looked at the backs of those people leaving thoughtfully and did not answer Guo Kai's question.
He hesitated for a while, and finally said with a sigh of relief: "I recognized the wrong person, let's go back to school."
Unlike when he came, Li Zexi was very silent on the way back.
The two of them sat on the bus. Li Zexi leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside without saying a word.
Guo Kai turned his head and stared at Li Zexi's profile, becoming more and more annoyed the more he stared.
He had a hunch that Li Zexi definitely knew the tall boy, and not only that, but they seemed to have a deep connection.
From the time they broke up until now, Li Zexi has always looked absent-minded and trance-like.
But Li Zexi didn't seem to have any intention of telling him the origin of the matter.
Guo Kai felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and leaned helplessly against the back of the chair.
I thought that this New Year's Eve confession was completely a failure.
