In front of the tent hung with star lights, three people sat around a small wooden camping table.
On the table were two warm yellow camping lanterns, three cups of steaming milk tea, and a table filled with melon seeds, snacks, and playing cards.
At this time, Xie Mi's face was covered with a hundred pieces of tissue paper. Except for a pair of eyes that were barely exposed, his entire face was completely covered.
As for the reason why she lost so badly...
Xie Mi looked at the cards in his hand with a serious expression, slowly pulled out a card, and glanced at Chen Yuqing out of the corner of his eye.
Throw it out tentatively, "Go with a single 3."
You Hongxuan, who was in the last position, had his eyes light up. He had already taken out a 5 and was ready to play, waiting for Chen Yuqing, who was in the first position, to play a 4.
As a result, Chen Yuqing drew out two cards.
"King bomb."
You Hongxuan: “?!”
Xie Mi: "You're crazy!!"
Who is a good person who uses the king bomb to hit a 3? !
In response to this, Chen Yuqing’s answer was.
"Adhering to the principle of not letting any of Teacher Xie's words fall to the ground, any card played by Teacher Xie must be caught."
Xie Mi's mouth twitched, "Thank you. But there's no need to use a king bomb to receive it, right?"
Chen Yuqing's lips curled up slightly and his smile was very charming. "Teacher Xie's cards should be taken seriously."
Xie Mi: “?”
Who taught you to take the soldering iron so seriously?
You Hongxuan showed a look of sudden enlightenment, "So that's how it is, I learned..."
Xie Mi was so anxious that he grabbed his mouth.
"Don't learn this! You really can't learn this!!"
Stop this farce now.
Xie Mi, who was already sweating profusely from covering his head with tissues, said.
You Hongxuan glanced at Xie Mi and then at Chen Yuqing, and couldn't help but chuckle. His already warm eyes were particularly bright under the light, as if there was light in his eyes.
Xie Mi came closer with his face covered with tissues, his voice full of resentment like a ghost demanding revenge.
"Xiao You...are you...laughing at me..."
You Hongxuan smiled and shook his head, "No, Eighth Sister, I'm just too happy. Thank you for the autumn outing you prepared, I like it very much."
He smiled beautifully with curved eyebrows, but it seemed as if he had something to say unfinished.
Chen Yuqing lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and suddenly he stood up and walked towards the tent.
"There are not enough tissues, Mr. Xie loses. I'll go get some more."
Xie Mi was so angry that he pretended to hit him.
Fortunately, Shen Yuqing ran away quickly enough. With a few steps of his long legs, he entered the tent and disappeared.
You Hongxuan nearly fell off his chair laughing. It took him a while to calm down. He looked at the warm yellow camping light on the table and said.
"Eighth sister, I am really happy now."
"But before that, I didn't seem that happy."
Xie Mi with tissue head sat quietly beside him, not saying anything, just listening quietly.
You Hongxuan spoke slowly.
"In fact, I didn't fulfill your request."
"You said you hoped I could become Zhong Chen's friend, but the time we actually met in person in the past few years was actually very small."
"It was fine during the time you first left. Every time I went to see him, we got along well."
"But later on, I don't know what happened. Zhong Chen started avoiding me and refused to meet me. I finally blocked him at the school gate once, but he always frowned and made excuses to leave, as if communicating with me was a very painful thing."
"At first I thought he needed to review for the college entrance exam, so I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking I would go find him after the exam. But when I heard from him again, I found out he had gone abroad."
"I was very sad during that time. You left, Zhong Chen also left, and I was the only one left on Xinghua Street, which originally had three people. I thought this friendship was over."
"Until one day four years later, the coach of my swimming club told me that a kind-hearted person from abroad had funded our swimming club. He helped us build a better swimming pool, funded our nutritious meals during training, helped us participate in various competitions, and covered all travel expenses."
“I learned from my coach that this kind person paid special attention to my training process and only asked him questions about me.”
"Somehow, I think that person will be Zhong Chen."
“So I got the coach’s phone number and tried to call him, and the person who answered the phone was indeed Zhong Shen.”
"He said we are still friends."
"We have been in touch since then, and our relationship has become as good as it was during the summer vacation of my sophomore year, although most of the time I am training and he is working abroad, so we often cannot see each other."
"But I think that friends are people who care about each other even if they don't meet. The friendship will never fade away just because they can't see each other."
“But I always feel regretful.”
Having said this, You Hongxuan lowered his eyes, his gaze and tone revealing his loneliness.
"Later, I recalled countless times the last time I saw Zhong Chen before he went abroad."
"I realized later that his eyes should have been sad at that time."
"He seemed to have some unspeakable difficulties, but I only realized it after several years."
"Eighth sister, I remember you said that."
"You said Zhong Chen is a very lonely person. He is sick and needs someone to take the initiative to approach him, otherwise he will always be alone."
"So I can't imagine what he went through during those years when he was abroad alone."
"How lonely he must be."
Having said that, You Hongxuan lowered his head to hide the endless regret in his eyes, and his fingertips clenched subconsciously.
But Xie Mi broke them open one by one and stuffed a peeled orange into his palm.
This is what Chen Yuqing just peeled.
After peeling an orange for her, Chen Yuqing peeled another one and placed it quietly on the plate in the middle without handing it to anyone.
But she knew that it was for Xiaoyou.
"Xiao You, Zhong Chen is well taken care of by you."
You Hongxuan paused slightly, then slowly raised his head and met the serious eyes beneath the layers of tissues.
"Your existence must have illuminated his long and tormenting years."
"Thank you for being his friend."
“I think this is what Zhong Chen wants to say.”
You Hongxuan's eyes moved slightly, and a star-like halo of light gradually gathered in his eyes, sweeping away the haze just now.
"Do you really think so?"
"certainly."
Xie Mi answered without thinking, pointing to the two cards on the table, "Look at how bad his personality is now. He can even hit 3 with the king bomb."
You Hongxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
“It seems to be true.”
"So, stop imagining it. It's fine if it's you and him, you and me, or the three of us."
Xie Mi looked at him sincerely, his fair face emitting a warm yellow light.
She said word by word with certainty:
"We are friends, and that will never change."
