Chapter 37 Xiaoyuer
The moment the bb hit the balloon, the balloon exploded on the wall with a "pop" sound.
Yan Sui held the gun, without stopping, squinted his eyes, aimed at the direction, and pulled the trigger with his finger.
The next moment, another sound of a balloon exploding was heard in front of him.
Gunshots rang out one after another, and the balloons on the wall were like lambs tied to it, being shot one after another.
The continuous sound of balloons exploding startled the birds perched on the bushes and trees nearby, and they all spread their wings and fled.
After firing the last bullet, Yan Sui put down the plastic gun in her hand.
Yu Shuli exclaimed as he stepped forward, opened his arms wide and embraced her, rubbing his chin against her forehead: "Yan Sui is amazing!"
This was the first time the two had been intimate since their last hug by the lake.
Yan Sui's cheeks flushed, and she felt a little shy, but she couldn't hide her joy in her heart.
The staff came forward, clapping their hands and giving Yan Sui a thumbs-up: "Great job, classmate!"
Yan Sui reported and smiled.
"Originally, only one person can play with a gun, but since you two are so skilled, I'll turn a blind eye to your switching of players mid-game!" The employee walked over to the gifts and pointed at the mess of presents on the floor. "Look, what do you want? Pick one from this bag. But we're short on funds, so these are all the toys we have. Don't be offended!"
Yan Sui was about to say she wanted a car, but Yu Shuli beside her spoke first: "Let's take the Hello Kitty one!"
When the Hello Kitty doll was stuffed into Yan Sui's arms, she finally came to her senses: "Why are you giving it to me? You choose one!"
Yu Shuli scratched his head embarrassedly: "Don't you like it? I saw you staring at it for a long time just now."
"No! I am just..." Yan Sui suddenly stopped talking, looking at the scribbled doll in her arms. The words in her heart seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them out.
She had to explain it another way: "Aren't we here to play balloons because you didn't hit the car when you were a kid? The reward is of course the car."
"Of course you choose the one you like when you hit it."
Yan Sui stared at him silently for a long time, then suddenly asked, "You really can't hit that balloon?"
She couldn't believe that Yu Shuli, a science genius, hadn't figured out the pattern after firing so many bullets.
Yu Shuli paused, and there was silence between the two sides for a moment.
"So do you like this doll?" Yu Shuli asked.
Yan Sui paused: "I like it, but——"
Suddenly, the man in front of her took hold of one of her hands that was holding the doll. He pulled her hand into his pocket and said, "It's OK as long as you like it, isn't it?"
Without waiting for Yan Sui's answer, Yu Shuli took her hand and exerted a little force in his hand: "Let's go!"
Yan Sui was pulled by his strength, her body involuntarily controlled by him, and she walked forward side by side with him.
She was not a person who would spoil a fun. Since Yu Shuli had already said so, she would no longer worry about who should own the gift.
Yu Shuli held her hand and said as they walked, "But I also feel that the workmanship of this doll is not very good. I will go to the mall in a few days and buy you a better quality one, okay?"
"No need! This one is good enough, don't spend any more money."
Seeing that she was unwilling, Yu Shuli did not insist any more, but instead changed the topic to the doll's origin: "Is this doll made in Japan? I heard they have more styles over there, much more than we have here. If there is a chance in the future, let's travel there together, and I will buy you one of each style of Hello Kitty, how about it?"
Yan Sui laughed and raised her head teasingly: "Then you will have to spend money, classmate Yu."
Yu Shuli lowered his head, a smile in his eyes: "As long as you believe in me, I will definitely do it."
Although he spoke to her with a smile at that time, the determination and seriousness in his eyes were clearly conveyed to Yan Sui's heart.
Even though they didn't maintain this relationship until the day they traveled to Japan, or the day Yu Shuli fulfilled his promise to her, Yan Sui still believed that if that day really came, Yu Shuli would definitely not forget the promise he made in his second year of high school.
Yan Sui gently curled her hand that was held in his pocket, and scratched his palm with her fingertips, her voice rising at the end: "Of course I believe you."
At that time, they were no different from normal campus lovers. Even though something happened at home, she and Yu Shuli still looked forward to their future together.
They have been through so much hardship and suffering with each other.
Maybe they were just a little bit away from going from school uniforms to wedding dresses.
Unfortunately, there is no maybe.
.
When Yan Sui and Yu Shuli reached the top of the mountain, a circle of people had already gathered in the small pavilion in the center of the lake, watching, taking pictures, or feeding the fish.
At the intersection of the pavilion in the center of the lake, there was an old man selling fish feed with two baskets in front of him.
Yu Shuli went to the old man and bought two bags of fish feed. He then asked him about another place to feed the fish. After passing the pavilion in the center of the lake, there was a rockery with a small pavilion next to it. Because it was quite remote and a dead end road, few people went there. Most people continued along the other viewing path.
Yan Sui and Yu Shuli followed the route the old man told them and walked to the small pavilion in a remote location.
The small pavilion is mostly hidden by the rockery, and there is a bamboo forest next to it, so it seems particularly quiet.
The two happily found a good spot and sat down in the pavilion.
"It seems like there are not many fish here!" Yan Sui said.
Yu Shuli also looked around the pavilion, but indeed didn't see a single fish. He speculated, "Could it be hiding in the cracks beneath the pavilion? Let's throw some feed down there and see."
After saying that, Yu Shuli scattered a handful of feed onto the lake.
The next second, fish swam out from under the pavilion, their mouths open as they swam towards the surface of the lake where the feed was floating.
"It's really down there!" Yan Sui laughed.
There weren't many fish here, and even a small amount of fish feed scattered around only attracted three or four. Unlike the pavilion in the center of the lake, where a handful of feed was thrown, the fish swarmed over as if they were fighting for food, quickly clearing out all the fish feed on the lake.
Yan Sui was not depressed because of the lack of fish here. On the contrary, in this quieter and smaller environment, there was the rustling sound of wind blowing through the bamboo forest and the sound of fish splashing on the water.
While spreading fish feed, she chatted with Yu Shuli about recent events.
This was a rare moment of relaxation for her since Zhao Ting's betrayal.
Talking about her recent situation, Yan Sui suddenly apologized: "I'm sorry, Yu Shuli, I may not be able to devote too much energy to you."
Yan Sui originally thought that Yu Shuli would blame her. These things happened just after they got together, which resulted in her having no time to spend with him and making him listen to her talk about all the worries.
There is a high probability that family matters will affect their future. Yan Sui and Yu Shuli discussed this issue on the day they were together. Although it sounded more like impulsive words spoken when they were young and hot-headed, they both promised each other that they would go from high school to college together, and then from college to society, and into each other's families.
After what happened in her family, she even thought that if Yu Shuli didn't want to continue with her as she is now, she would be willing to break up peacefully, accept the end of this relationship, and would not blame him.
So she said this to Yu Shuli with caution and trepidation.
She originally thought that Yu Shuli would complain. After all, they were not in the same class and had less time to meet and spend time together.
But Yu Shuli just stared into her eyes for a long while, and suddenly called her name: "Yan Sui."
Yan Sui blinked slightly.
"Have you been keeping up with the class progress in math class lately?"
.
The wind blew each other's hair, and the sound created a perfect environment and mood for them, but he just asked:
"Have you been keeping up with the class progress in math class lately?"
.
Yan Sui was stunned, obviously not expecting Yu Shuli to answer her with such a sentence.
Seeing her stunned, Yu Shuli smiled at her, with a smile that contained a bit of comfort and encouragement.
"I'm worried that you haven't been able to keep up with your studies lately because of family matters. The final exams are coming up soon."
Yan Sui opened her mouth and took a long time to finish her sentence: "It seems so."
Seeing her rare dazed look, Yu Shuli curved his eyes and sprinkled the last handful of fish feed in front of her.
His voice fell beside her ears, into this silent and mysterious space. He said, "There are roads in every direction, aren't there, Xiaoyu'er?"
.
When going down the mountain that day, Yan Sui saw that the amusement park was still open, so she lied that she needed to go to the bathroom and asked Yu Shuli to wait for her at the intersection.
She avoided Yu Shuli's sight, stood in front of the balloon stall again, and said to the people inside -
"I want to hit the balloon."
.
Yu Shuli waited at the intersection for a long time, until the sky began to darken and the street lights on Beiming Mountain were lit up.
Only then did Yan Sui run towards him step by step along the stairs under the light and shadow of the street lamp.
She seemed to be holding something in her hand, which appeared and disappeared as her arms swung.
Until she came to his side and handed the car in the box to Yu Shuli: "This is for you."
In an instant, Yu Shuli's heart seemed to be hit by something, as if something had dug out the villain hidden in his heart and reappeared in front of him.
His eyes slowly turned red: "Why did you give me this? I haven't played these for a long time."
Yan Sui narrowed her eyes, stuffed the bag containing the box into his hands, and smiled at him with narrowed eyes: "This is not for you, it's for Yu Shuli from elementary school."
She stretched out her hands, pointed her index finger at the corner of Yu Shuli's mouth, and gently pulled the corner of his lips upwards: "Can you let the little Yu Shuli smile for me?"
The awkward posture and the awkward him.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Shuli felt relieved. He smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Yan Sui."
This was said by Yu Shuli when he was a child, and it was also the thank you that seventeen-year-old Yu Shuli said to Yan Sui.
