Chapter 125 Between Fingers
"He's not so much my ideal type as my ideal version of myself."
"The world is so big. Maybe when I really become like that in the future, I will meet many Liang Zhuoqians. This one won't be a big deal."
Yearning is pure, but liking is exclusive.
You will feel that that person is unique and irreplaceable, and cannot be found anywhere in the world.
Su Xia was slightly distracted by what she heard.
He Miao went to work as a reporter for a major media outlet in the future, and indeed developed a healthy tan. It is unknown whether there would be another person like Liang Zhuoqian around him.
But there will never be another Xu Jiqing in the whole world.
"My mom said his family will be back in Hong Kong next month for the New Year," she said, pulling herself back from her thoughts before teasing her friend. "If you have anything to say, say it now."
"That's about what he told me."
He Miao curled her lips. "I met him again in front of the campus card recharge machine last time. I helped him fix the machine in a few seconds. He said he wanted to invite Miss He to Hong Kong City, and he treated me to morning tea."
Su Xia held her face and smiled, "What did Miss He say?"
The girl raised her chin slightly and said, "Miss He's grandparents were also from Cantonese, so they don't need a meal like him."
-
It’s similar to what Su Xia guessed before.
This year's National Mathematical Olympiad Winter Camp starts earlier than in previous years, around the New Year.
As a competitive province, there is pressure to retain the championship. Starting from the end of November, the 16-member Jiangxi Provincial Team gathered early and began a new round of closed training in a small classroom in the Department of Mathematics of Jiangxi University, vowing to continue the undefeated glory of the past few years.
Considering that too much pressure can easily lead to a breakdown, I was specially allowed to go home for one day every weekend, and I can choose Saturday or Sunday.
Liang Zhuoqian's information has lost its appeal, but Teacher Xiao He's cover is still sufficient.
On the afternoon of the 20th, Su Xia took out his mobile phone and shook it in front of Su Xiaojuan. On the screen was a chat record of him and his friends making an appointment to watch a movie together. It was full of pictures, texts and emoticons, and looked very natural.
People who do well in exams do everything right.
Su Xiaojuan was too lazy to look and wished she would leave quickly.
To avoid the nervous little face in front of her, making her want to force a confession, "What movie, cartoon?"
"no."
The down jacket that was to be given as a birthday gift to Xu Jiqing was too big, not to mention the two sweatshirts. She spent the whole night trying to vacuum the bags before stuffing them into her schoolbag.
It's bulging and looks like the nut wall in Plants vs. Zombies, and it looks suspicious no matter how you look at it.
Passing by the full-length mirror at the door, Su Xia didn't dare to look at herself any more. She quickly pulled her schoolbag strap onto her shoulder, pushed the door open, and hurried out. "Director Lin Zhou's new film, about a fake brother and sister who have a secret crush that becomes real, has been going viral online lately."
Su Xiaojuan is usually busy with work and never pays attention to these entertainment gossips. Su Xia casually mentioned a few words without any ripples in her heart.
But as soon as the person she was explaining to changed to Xu Jiqing, she felt a little strange.
The preview was held in a giant-screen cinema on the river bank. There were quite a few spectators. Apart from the reporters and film critics in the media seats, almost all of them were fans of the various companies who had grabbed tickets through hearsay.
The show started at four o'clock and she arrived a little late.
I was still thinking that my 18th birthday should be a grand one and not said casually. I was pushed and shoved by the noisy crowd and had almost no time to say anything. I just held Xu Jiqing's hand and sat down on the seat.
The lights quickly dimmed.
As the dragon emblem appeared and the male lead's monologue began, the audience in the front row changed from the restlessness they had when they entered the venue and tilted their heads to watch intently.
Xu Jiqing beside her didn't have any special reaction.
He just sat quietly beside her, his eyes indifferent, and occasionally glanced at her when she seemed to be attracted by the plot and unconsciously touched the armrest between their seats.
...It would be great if Su Xia could be attracted by the plot.
It’s obviously my favorite actress, and I’ve been looking forward to this award-winning new work for a long time.
But Xu Jiqing sat next to her.
The space was dark and closed, and a little blue light from the big screen illuminated his handsome profile and his thin lips that looked inexplicably kissable.
The surround sound effect is great and the background music is nice.
But Su Xia was absent-minded and couldn't concentrate on anything. Every line went in one ear and out the other.
She felt a little regretful.
Anyway, we are going to watch a movie. "Spring Night" is officially released in theaters and we can watch it. Why not go to the old cinema near Jiangda today?
She and Su Xiaojuan had been there before. The armrests between the seats were so loose that they could easily fall over if she just pushed them up. It was natural for her to pretend to be careless and lean towards him.
Unlike the giant screen halls of today, where everything is brand new and solid, she had no excuse to act coquettishly.
I don’t know how many times I touched the handrail.
Xu Jiqing realized it and whispered, "Take your hands away."
Su Xia felt embarrassed and ashamed of being seen through, and retreated without saying a word.
But before her upper body could sit up straight.
Almost at the same moment, Xu Jiqing lifted the armrest and stretched out his bony left hand. He first lightly grasped her wrist, then his rough fingertips moved up little by little, rubbing across her palm which was slightly sweaty.
His fingers are long and strong.
It didn't take much effort to weave it between her fingers, and she locked it with her thumb before placing it back on his strong thigh.
His temperature is really high.
The hands are really big.
Compared to his hand holding...
Before her, it seemed like she was just an elementary school student holding hands after school.
Numb electric currents ran through her skin and blood vessels, causing Su Xia's ears to feel hot. She didn't dare to look to the side.
Xu Jiqing's voice lowered, "Can you see it properly now?"
