Chapter 122: Confession
But Xu Xinxin's clothes were either old or ugly. She looked left and right but was never satisfied.
If she had known this earlier, she would have gone to the mall in advance to buy some nice clothes.
Most of the clothes sold in shopping malls now are the inventory before the disaster, and most of the good-looking clothes are sold at very high prices.
Before, in order to save money, Xu Xinxin only bought a few not-so-good-looking clothes.
Hey, no matter how short of money she is now, she can still afford to buy a few pieces of clothes.
If she had known this earlier, she wouldn’t have been so thrifty.
Xu Xinxin slapped her mouth a few times in regret, then picked out the most pleasing set of clothes and put them on.
She certainly couldn't put on makeup now, as she had no cosmetics, but the lipstick she had put in her backpack before the disaster had remained.
This lipstick has not been opened yet and has only been expired for a few months, so it should still be usable.
Xu Xinxin simply put on some lipstick, and her complexion instantly looked much better. Then she went out with satisfaction.
She walked out of the room and took a few steps forward when she saw Xia Runlin standing outside her fence with a shiny black sedan parked next to him.
Even though Xu Xinxin was several meters away from Xia Runlin, she could tell at a glance that Xia Runlin had dressed up carefully today.
It’s not that he was wearing makeup, but he was wearing a white shirt on the upper body and black pants on the lower body. His hair looked like he had just washed and blow-dried this morning, and it was so fluffy that every strand of hair was in just the right position.
He looked completely different today than he did yesterday, and his whole body seemed to be glowing.
So this is how he watched the award ceremony.
But it is also true that this is the first time in human history that a mutant beast over level 50 has been killed by an individual alone, which has great reference value in combat.
"Xia Runlin, you're here so early."
When Xu Xinxin saw Xia Runlin, he immediately trotted over, making Xia Runlin unable to stop smiling.
When Xia Runlin saw her, his eyes also smiled, then he opened the front door and said, "It's not too early."
Xu Xinxin sat in the passenger seat before Xia Runlin walked around from the front of the car to the other side and sat in the driver's seat.
After closing the door and fastening the seat belt, Xia Runlin did not rush to drive. Instead, he made sure Xu Xinxin had fastened her seat belt before saying, "There may be a lot of people at the award ceremony today. I wonder if you mind if I thank you in public."
When Xu Xinxin heard his words, she was stunned for a moment, then she reacted quickly.
No wonder he said he wanted to dress better, it turned out to be because of this incident.
"I don't mind," Xu Xinxin said immediately, "as long as you don't let me speak on stage."
What she hates most is giving speeches or expressions of gratitude on the stage.
She always felt that these words were too official, but she had to say them... Anyway, she didn't like it very much.
Xia Runlin nodded thoughtfully, and then continued to ask: "If I want to confess to you in public, would you agree?"
Xu Xinxin: ???
"......ah?"
Her mind was unable to wrap around the question immediately, and she was stunned when she heard such a question. She even suspected that she had heard it wrongly.
No, that's what he meant.
He...he, he, he, wants to confess his love to me at the awards ceremony?
"No!" Xu Xinxin said immediately: "There are too many people, I can't accept it!"
Xia Runlin couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Does it mean that if there are fewer people, you will agree?"
"Ah... this..."
Which nice person would greet the other person in advance before confessing his love?
There is no surprise at all.
Xu Xinxin's heart was beating like thunder, and her face was flushed. She didn't dare to look at Xia Runlin, but she muttered softly, "It's not impossible."
She said this in a very low voice, so soft that even she couldn't hear it clearly.
But her face was burning and she felt like a cooked crab that could be eaten directly by just hitting it with a hammer.
Fortunately, Xia Runlin did not continue to ask her, but put his hands on the steering wheel and drove slowly.
Along the way, the two people didn't say a word.
Xu Xinxin wasn't sure if Xia Runlin heard what she just said, but she didn't dare to look back at him.
Ahhh, this is so annoying. If I had known, I would have spoken louder.
What if Xia Runlin thinks that I don’t like him and doesn’t confess to me?
No, no, she hasn't thought about it yet...
No, it’s not that she doesn’t want to date Xia Runlin, it’s just, it’s just... this is just too sudden.
Xu Xinxin was "thinking wildly" the whole way, but fortunately, her rosy little face became less red after calming down for a while.
The car slowly drove into the city center, and when it was about to reach the award ceremony venue, the roadside was crowded with people.
The car can't drive in.
Xia Runlin found a spot to park the car, then took Xu Xinxin from the underground garage to the award ceremony venue and took her directly to the third row of the audience seats.
The first two rows of the auditorium are where Jiangcheng’s leaders sit, and starting from the third row are where the audience sits.
It's called an auditorium, but in fact it's just neatly arranged plastic benches.
But the plastic stools in the first five rows all have backrests, while the plastic stools in the back are just square stools without backrests.
Xu Xinxin just sat down and waved to Xia Runlin and watched him walk away.
There were a few acquaintances sitting next to her.
On her left sat Grandma Cai, and on her right sat Sun Kunpeng.
Sitting behind him were Fu Zeren, Zheng Fengni and others.
And it seemed that all those people with special abilities that she had met before had also arrived.
Why did he say "seemed"? Because Xu Xinxin was unable to remember all of their faces, she just thought they looked familiar and had a general impression of them.
Xu Xinxin greeted them all, then turned around and watched the staff on the podium adjusting the microphone.
She didn’t know if it was her illusion or if Xia Runlin had warned her in advance, but she always felt that the way this group of people looked at her was somewhat "teasing".
It's quite embarrassing.
After waiting for a while, more and more spectators gathered nearby, and finally, it was time for the award ceremony.
"Residents of Jiangcheng, welcome to come and watch today's award ceremony."
"Yes, I believe that all the audience sitting and standing here have recently heard the news that a mutant beast over level 50 has appeared in the wilderness."
"......"
There were two hosts on the stage, who passionately described how Xia Runlin risked his life to kill a mutant beast in the wilderness a few days ago.
Xu Xinxin listened carefully, and slowly, all the "distracting thoughts" in her heart disappeared.
It was at this time that she realized that when Xia Runlin encountered the mutant spider, he was able to escape.
But he was worried that the mutant beast would quickly run to Jiangcheng, so he took the risk.
Fortunately, he succeeded.
Unfortunately, I almost got myself killed there.
If Xu Xinxin had not rushed over at that time, he might not have lived long enough for the defending troops to find him.
After the host’s passionate speech and amid everyone’s warm applause, our protagonist finally stepped onto the podium.
