Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Taste the flavor of this...
Not only did Song Zhihan not get drunk that time, she even remembered what happened the first time. But how could she tell Lin Jie? She smiled at him cunningly, holding the water and trotting past him all the way back to the dining table.
Lin Jie was left standing there, chuckling helplessly.
Song Zhihan, ah Song Zhihan, she always has the ability to make people laugh, how can she be so cute.
He was surprised by the adjective that naturally popped into his mind. He rarely, no, never, thought a girl had this trait. Some of Song Zhihan's behavior would be considered stupid in others, but in her case, it was simply silly and adorable.
He realized his own changes, and many of his unshakable principles and terms had to give way in front of her.
In fact, Lin Jie didn't like this change. It made him feel like a fool with no self-control and extremely fickle. But at this moment, he was happy to accept it. The double standard, a behavior he hated very much, was fully implemented by him at this moment.
At the table, three girls raised their cups and shouted "cheers". The hot hot pot paired with ice-cold drinks, the collision of hot and cold, made the dopamine in the body secrete crazily.
Lin Jie did not participate. He was conscientiously doing his job as a food-picking robot.
Song Zhihan loved smooth pork, Lin Mo loved tripe, and there was also Shanshan. Although she didn't know what she liked yet, beef seemed like a safe bet. Seeing their bowls of dipping sauce empty, Lin Jie got up and went to the counter to remix it on clean plates.
He did all this out of a habit ingrained in his bones. He had been taking care of Lin Mo since she was a child when Zhong Xiumen was not around. He had also taken good care of himself from the time he went to college until now. Lin Jie's thoughtfulness and thoroughness were hidden in every corner of his body.
Shanshan couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Lin Jie is really good at taking care of people."
Lin Mo nodded. "Brother has always been like this. Mom didn't have to worry about anything at home. He took care of everything. He paid for my school fees, my long pants... He even bought me sanitary napkins for my first period. Ever since he started high school, he hasn't asked Mom for a penny for living expenses. Later, when he earned money, he gave it all to the family."
In Lin Mo's eyes, her brother is an omnipotent person.
Shanshan raised her chin and looked at his dejected back, full of expectations for him. To be honest, when she first met them, Shanshan was very unsure. Zhong Xiumen was very stiff, and Lin Jie had an expressionless look from beginning to end. This made Shanshan feel that they hated her, and made her feel that how to get along with her biological family was a big problem.
But with Lin Mo's words and their interactions today, she felt that this brother was not as scary as he looked. Maybe... he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
"Lin Jie! Come here quickly, I can't pick up this meatball." Song Zhihan didn't care about the changes that had quietly taken place between them. She was only concerned with competing with the meatball covered in oil.
Lin Jie took two small bowls and handed them to Shanshan and Lin Mo respectively. Then he picked up his chopsticks naturally, picked up the meatballs in one go, and placed them at the bottom of Song Zhihan's bowl. After doing all this, he did not forget to ask her a question.
"I won't put cilantro in the dipping sauce. Didn't you just say it had flavor?"
Song Zhihan nodded, and after taking advantage of him, he didn't forget to say a few sweet words: "Okay, thank you, you are so nice."
She is picky and can tell even the slightest bit of unfreshness. Take the coriander just now for example. No one said there was a problem with it, but Song Zhihan was the only one who thought it tasted good.
The two of them were so bored that they had no idea what the world was.
The two sisters looked at each other and saw the smiles in each other's eyes.
Shanshan thought, "They say there's no affair, but Song Zhihan's complete dependence on me is something he only shows in front of his family." And Lin Jie, he used serving chopsticks for his two younger sisters, but why did he automatically switch to his own chopsticks when it came to Song Zhihan? How could he possibly exchange saliva in front of his younger sisters?
Stinky couple.
This meal was eaten early, so even though the battle line was long, it was only seven o'clock when we finished.
Song Zhihan touched her full stomach contentedly. Lin Jie pushed her shoulder and said, "You're so full, let's go for a walk."
It's so cold, who wants to go out in the cold?
Song Zhihan decisively refused.
Lin Jie winked at Lin Mo, and Lin Mo felt a little embarrassed as she took a few steps forward and leaned over to whisper in Song Zhihan's ear.
"Sister Zhihan, I... want to talk to Shanshan alone about Mom. But I don't want it to be too formal."
So you need a separate space?
Song Zhihan understood, jumped up from the stool, and shouted to Shanshan in the bathroom, "Song Shanshan, I'll leave the cleaning to you and Lin Mo. I'm full and want to go out for a walk."
Shanshan responded from a distance.
Song Zhihan put on her down jacket, scarf, hat, and finally a pair of gloves. After she was fully armed, she waved her burly arm at Lin Jie and said, "Let's go!"
She was dressed like a clumsy penguin. Lin Jie put on his coat and went out with her, feeling both amused and helpless.
Lin Mo followed quietly behind and mouthed words to him.
"come on."
Lin Jie nodded calmly, and reminded him to be careful at home.
The shadows of the bear and the pole were stretched very long. The snow had stopped at this moment. The fruits accumulated in the past few days had woven a snow-white dress for the earth.
Song Zhihan originally thought they could just walk around the neighborhood, but when Lin Jie took her outside, she didn't want to go and just lingered behind. By the time Lin Jie noticed her, she had already been standing still for a long time.
He walked back backwards, trying to seduce her.
"This kind of weather is perfect for eating candied haws. Is there any at the place in front of Ryan's door?"
Crisp and refreshing candied haws! Song Zhihan's eyes lit up, and he finally decided to follow him.
The Song family lives very close to the Ryan International School. They originally settled here because of Song Zhihan's schooling. Although it takes nearly an hour to drive from the Song family's company, Song Yazhi was happy with it. Later, when Song Zhihan stopped going to school, they couldn't bear to give up this house full of growing-up memories.
It only took about ten minutes to walk there. Song Zhihan was panting as she walked. She was wearing too many clothes, like a thick blanket, which became a burden when she walked.
Lin Jie listened to her heavy breathing and pulled her sleeve. Song Zhihan looked at him in confusion, but saw that he bent down.
"Come up, I'll carry you."
No matter how lazy Song Zhihan was, she wasn't the type to need someone to carry her for a few hundred meters. She avoided Lin Jie's back and walked very fast on her own, as if to prove herself.
"Lin Jie, you underestimate me. I'm just wearing thick clothes, not thin."
Lin Jie took a few quick steps and moved to her side. While she was not paying attention, he hugged her around the waist.
Song Zhihan screamed in shock, and she quickly grabbed his neck. She calmed her pounding heart and scolded Lin Jie, "You scared me to death. What kind of surprise attack is this?"
But now that I'm really being carried, it seems to be more comfortable than walking by myself.
Lin Jie held her in his arms and weighed her for a few times, then suddenly said, "Yes, you're wearing quite thick clothes."
Compared to last time, it’s a lot heavier.
Song Zhihan silently covered his mouth and threatened him with his eyes not to continue talking.
When we arrived at the school gate, the candied haws shop was still open, emitting a sweet aroma in the dark night.
But Lin Jie held her in his arms without stopping and passed by the store directly.
Song Zhihan patted his shoulder vigorously: "Hey, I walked past you, I walked past you."
Lin Jie turned a deaf ear to her and continued walking forward with her in his arms, looking towards the school gate.
Song Zhihan finally realized the anomaly. Lin Jie's sudden return, Lin Mo's hesitant behavior, and the candied haws shop they passed by. Lin Jie hadn't even thought of taking her out for candied haws! His destination was school.
Sure enough, the security guard's smile on Lin Jie's face confirmed her suspicions. Song Zhihan suddenly felt a little nervous. Lin Jie...was he going to confess his feelings to her here? In the icy snow, Song Zhihan's ears blushed silently. She buried her cheek in Lin Jie's arms, determined to be a shy ostrich.
Lin Jie felt the warmth on his chest and walked much faster.
After being excited alone in the darkness for a long time, Song Zhihan finally heard Lin Jie's voice, with a slight gasp, and his equally beating heart.
"arrive."
Song Zhihan poked his head out of his arms and saw that the playground, which should have been pitch black, was now filled with light.
That is...made up of many stars...
"Solar system!"
Song Zhihan broke free from his arms and approached the star cluster formed by the lights step by step.
Lin Jie stood beside her at some point. He pointed at the farthest one and said to Song Zhihan with his head down.
"Can you recognize it?"
Using her limited knowledge of astronomy, Song Zhihan calculated that it was most likely Pluto.
The person who answered her questions was still Lin Jie.
"Pluto, Pluto."
"Remember the legend we shared in the astronomy club?"
"Pluto is the most distant star in the solar system. Almost no sunlight can reach it after traveling 5.9 billion kilometers. It is the darkest and coldest star in the world."
Song Zhihan told the rest of the story in a daze, and his memory was brought back to the past.
"But there is a dwarf planet of the same force, Charon, which is only one-fifteenth the distance between the Earth and the Moon."
Lin Jie smiled gently, with anticipation of the clouds clearing and the moon shining brightly in his eyes.
"She has been with Pluto on this long and lonely journey."
"Song Zhihan, I have liked you since high school. Even if ten years have passed, even if Pluto lost his Charon, I still only like you."
Tears filled Song Zhihan's eyes, but she was mostly happy. She saw that the self who had been denied by her had finally walked out of that vicious circle. The door that had been constantly knocked was finally opened, and the taciturn boy said to her, "I like you too."
"For some mundane reasons, I once felt unworthy of you and even hurt you in an extreme way. It was my fault, it was wrong, it was my mistake. This is the thing I regret most to this day. For many years afterwards, I wondered if I had been braver, more open, and more honest with myself, would our relationship have ended differently?"
"No one knows how complicated my feelings were when I saw you in the company. Guilt replaced inferiority. I think my presence was another kind of hurt to you. But, Zhihan, I found that I couldn't help but look at you. As soon as you appeared, you were all I could see."
"So I want to ask you, are you willing to give me a chance to redeem myself? I will give you all my love and the rest of my life as compensation."
He looked at Song Zhihan with sincere love in his eyes.
Song Zhihan took a step forward, stood on tiptoe, and threw herself on Lin Jie. Like a joyful little bird, she chirped repeatedly in Lin Jie's ear: "I do, I do..."
Lin Jie hugged her back tightly, and the two of them hugged each other tightly in this place that carried all the memories of youth, this place where they had been trapped for ten years because they had never had any joy in their youth.
After crossing the long river of time and going through the green years, they finally found each other again today and expressed the love hidden deep in their hearts.
The snow that had stopped started falling again.
Song Zhihan stood high up, pointing at the stars below, and excitedly asked Lin Jie to tell her about them. Lin Jie hugged her from behind, whispered in her ear, and answered her questions one after another.
"It's Chinese New Year, how did you get the security guard to open the door for you, and even set up so many things?"
"Well... I contacted my senior year homeroom teacher and asked him to say hello."
"Oh? Is that Mr. Xu? He also taught me in my senior year of high school."
"It was him. In exchange, he was asked to share his learning experience with the senior students in his class."
"How old are you, and you're still sharing your study experience with high school seniors? It's making me laugh to death."
Song Zhihan laughed so hard that she couldn't help laughing. She thought this sounded so strange, but she forgot that Lin Jie's study notes had been passed down for many years and had always been regarded as a magic weapon for exams.
Lin Jie narrowed his eyes slightly, pinched Song Zhihan's cheek, and said with a hidden threat: "Compared to you, I am indeed not young. Well, especially compared to Meng Xingyu, I am not as young as him."
What a sarcastic implication, he is jealous.
Song Zhihan laughed even more exaggeratedly. The falling snowflakes landed in her mouth, and she immediately shouted that it was so cool.
The pink tip of his tongue quickly rolled over the snowflakes on his lips. Lin Jie calmly moved his hand to the side of her face. He lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers, sharing the warmth of the same snowflake with her.
The scorching breath melted the snowflakes, turning them into icy droplets that dripped into Song Zhihan's mouth. Then, something even hotter entered as if uninhabited. Song Zhihan whimpered, but Lin Jie held her down, taking her in deeper. Their noses touched, heavy breathing filled the air. As her brain began to feel a slight lack of oxygen, she heard Lin Jie's smile.
"Song Zhihan, didn't your ex-boyfriend teach you how to breathe?"
Song Zhihan glared at him: "I didn't kiss my ex-boyfriend like this."
Their relationship was so innocent, and in two years, they had only exchanged a few light kisses. But someone was like Lin Jie, who immediately...wanted to swallow her whole.
Lin Jie said "oh" and then placed soft kisses on her cheeks, nose tip and eyelids.
He is very annoying and too curious. He asks questions while kissing me.
"So how do you kiss, like this? Or like this?"
A gentle kiss fell on his face, the cold snowflakes becoming the medium between his lips and skin, his lips melting the snowflakes, leaving little traces of water. His face flushed and his heart was upset. Song Zhihan pushed him away and muttered, "Get out of the way. I want to eat candied haws."
At this time, she is still thinking about candied haws?
Lin Jie was at his wit's end. He turned her head over, cupped her cheeks with both hands, and said, "Okay, but I want to try this delicious candied haws first."
Then came many more kisses, licked and bitten, the sound of teeth colliding, like the sound of the outer layer of sugar shell on a candied haws fruit breaking. The shell melted in his mouth, revealing the sweet and sour flesh inside. He took a bite, and the sweet taste of hawthorn filled his mouth.
Mixed with Song Zhihan's scent, it is especially delicious.
