Chapter 49
Xie Ning finished breakfast, and Qi Ran came back after making a phone call.
"It's so annoying. I have to get my parents' signature for my dormitory. My parents are not in the country. What can I sign? My roommate is also crazy. When I was not in the dormitory, they reported me to the counselor?" Qi Ran repeated, "Really crazy." "
I plan to sign it myself."
Xie Ning said "hmm" and was about to get up. Qi Ran asked, "Are you going back to school?"
Xie Ning: "Aren't you going back?"
"We are already out, let's go play nearby." Qi Ran said, "There is an amusement park nearby? It's new, many people go there to check in, let's go and play too. Brother, do you remember that when we were young, we lived with my uncle and aunt, and a small amusement park opened in the town, We stared at the gate every day. "
Xie Ning corrected: "You wanted to play, so you dragged me to accompany you to the gate to watch."
Qi Ran: "But you must want to play too, otherwise you wouldn't watch with me for so long."
Xie Ning did not refute this.
Although he has a quiet personality, he is still young and easily curious about new things. Suddenly, an amusement park opened in the town, and all the children in the town went crazy and ran to join in the fun. Even if they couldn't go in to play, they had to look at the gate.
When Xie Ning was a child, his concentration was not so good. He was also one of the many children who peeked through the wall at the gate of the amusement park.
Pei Zhi: "Are you going?"
Xie Ning: "No need..."
He is not a child now.
Pei Zhi: "But I want to go, can you go with me?"
Xie Ning and Qi Ran looked at Pei Zhi at the same time.
Pei Zhi didn't look like someone who would like to go to an amusement park.
Xie Ning: "Do you really want to go?"
"Yes, I do." Pei Zhi said, "I've also heard about this amusement park. There are some new equipment inside. I heard it's very exciting and interesting."
"Especially the haunted house inside, it seems very scary." Pei Zhi saw Xie Ning's expression change slightly, he asked, "Are you afraid of ghosts?"
Xie Ning looked at Pei Zhi and said helplessly: "I'm not afraid. Have you forgotten who kept saying he was afraid when you watched a ghost movie last time?"
Previously, Xie Ning and Pei Zhi went to the viewing area of the hot spring villa to watch a movie, and Pei Zhi kept saying he was afraid and even crawled into his arms. But... it's probably just acting.
It's just a trick to increase the intimacy.
Xie Ning wasn't sure whether Pei Zhi was afraid of ghosts or not.
"I am." Pei Zhi looked at Xie Ning and said softly, "But I won't be afraid when you are here."
Qi Ran interrupted: "Brother, are you always talking so disgustingly... I feel like you are speaking in an idol drama script."
Especially since these two people are very good-looking and are at the top of the entertainment industry, the effect of saying these disgusting words is really like filming a movie or an idol drama.
Pei Zhi ignored Qi Ran. He just looked at Xie Ning, slightly bent his back, and looked a little eager: "Let's go, okay?"
...
Pei Zhi drove the car. After Qi Ran saw the Rolls-Royce in front of him, the look in his eyes when he looked at Pei Zhi was different.
It is normal for parents to buy cars for their children after they go to college, but is it a bit exaggerated to buy a Rolls-Royce?
However, Qi Ran thought about it and realized that it was normal. His parents even bought him a sports car because they felt guilty. During his childhood, when he needed company the most, his parents were making money outside. Therefore, after he grew up, as long as he did not indulge in pornography, gambling or drugs, they basically agreed to his requests.
Qi Ran likes cars. He casually mentioned a few car models to Pei Zhi and unexpectedly found that Pei Zhi also knew about cars. Immediately, he liked Xie Ning, his roommate.
Before, he thought that this person looked a little malicious, but after finding common interests and hobbies, he even liked people better.
Qi Ran is a person who loves to make friends. Once they start chatting, he can't control his mouth: "Don't look at my brother's cold appearance. In fact, my brother is very good, really very good. When I was a child, our family conditions were average, but he gave in to me in everything... My brother is the best in the world..."
"Okay, don't disturb Pei Zhi's driving." Xie Ning interrupted Qi Ran and said, "It will be distracting to chat while driving, it's very dangerous."
Qi Ran immediately shut up.
Pei Zhi said: "I won't be distracted, you can continue chatting."
Qi Ran covered his mouth, and an unclear voice came out from his fingers: "But I listen to my brother. If my brother doesn't let me speak, I can't talk to you."
Pei Zhi: "Then if you have a chance later, can you secretly tell me something about your brother's childhood? I also want to know how your brother is the best in the world."
Xie Ning: "..."
Is it really okay to say these things in front of him?
After Pei Zhi parked the car, Qi Ran got out to buy a ticket. The tickets available online were limited, and he didn't want to wait, so he simply went to buy them on site, or looked at the door to see if there were any scalpers.
After Qi Ran walked away, Pei Zhi held Xie Ning's hand and asked softly, "Don't you want me to know about your childhood?"
"It's not that I don't want to, it's..." Xie Ning didn't know what to say. There was nothing special about his childhood, but he always felt that it was weird to hear that he was particularly perfect, kind, and humble from Qi Ran's perspective, and it didn't seem like the real him. He said, "Qi Ran has a very strict filter for me. Some things are not what he said. Just listen to it."
"For example?"
"For example, Qi Ran said that I am very nice and never make adults angry. But that's not the case. I also want to do bad things, but most of the time I don't have the opportunity."
"Really?" Pei Zhi bent down, and with their fingers clasped tightly, he stretched out his other hand and pinched Xie Ning's face, saying in a friendly tone, "I thought you were a good kid since you were a child."
"It turns out that good kids also want to do bad things."
A low voice came out of Pei Zhi's throat, with a bit of hoarseness. Pei Zhi deliberately bent down and lowered his head, and his fingers gently pinched Xie Ning's face. Anyone who saw it would think they were flirting.
There were not many people in the underground parking lot, but Xie Ning still felt a little uncomfortable, and his ears were hot. He slightly turned his eyes away: "Don't think too highly of me."
Pei Zhi: "In my heart, you are perfect."
Xie Ning: "No one is perfect."
Pei Zhi knew this, but he still said: "Your imperfection is also a kind of perfection to me."
Has he reached this point in Pei Zhi's mind? Some of the childish words made Xie Ning laugh, and she couldn't avoid the frosting-like current in her heart.
No one doesn't like to hear nice words.
After leaving the parking lot, the light was bright. Xie Ning looked into the distance. Under the golden sunlight, the equipment and buildings in the amusement park stood like castles. The purple and pink tones contrasted with the blue sky and white clouds, like a picture from a fairy tale world.
Xie Ning suddenly thought: "Actually, when I was a child, I was curious about what the amusement park would be like. Would it be like in the storybooks, with princesses and princes, and magicians who could cast spells?"
Pei Zhi: "Let's go to the amusement park today and make up for your childhood regrets."
It seemed that he had the answer to why Pei Zhi suddenly suggested going to the amusement park. Xie Ning tilted his head to look at Xie Ning, wanting to laugh but not laughing: "Pei Zhi, do you think I have regrets about my childhood, so you proposed to come to the amusement park?"
Pei Zhi said stubbornly: "No, I wanted to come, so I asked you to accompany me."
Xie Ning looked at him, his eyes gradually returned to the front: "I have no regrets, really. I was interested in these when I was a child, but the interest was not deep, and..."
Xie Ning suddenly paused, and what he wanted to say next, he forgot it all at this moment.
He really didn't play in the large facilities in the amusement park when he was a child. First, those projects were relatively dangerous and his family didn't allow him to play, and second... his family was indeed a bit difficult.
Xie Ning and Qi Ran's families were not so rich at the beginning. When they were in primary school, their parents were busy working in the big city. It was easy to neglect their children when they were with them. At that time, they could not afford a nanny, so they could only send them to their grandparents' house temporarily.
Although they were grandparents, they lived with their uncle and aunt, so they were taken care of by their uncle and aunt. Their uncle and aunt had a daughter. Xie Ning was the oldest among the three and was recognized by everyone as the quietest.
Their family did not have particularly complicated family relationships. The relationship between parents, brothers and sisters was harmonious. Although the family conditions were not good at that time, their uncle and aunt would try their best to give the children good things. But after all, they were living under someone else's roof, so Xie Ning and Qi Ran inevitably felt constrained and uneasy. When they first arrived, they were like abandoned kittens and puppies, and they didn't even dare to make noises when eating.
It wasn't until a long time later that the situation improved slightly, and Xie Ning and the others gradually integrated into the town.
Once, a small children's park was built in the town. It was not big, but it was very attractive to the children in the small town. There were some simple play equipment, carousel, ocean balls...all kinds of new things, and this place became a paradise for the children in the town.
But the ticket price was not cheap. In particular, during that time, Xie Ning's uncle was laid off by the factory, and the family lived a tight life. How could they have the money to take the children in to play?
Xie Ning knew that the family situation was not very good. Qi Ran and his sister, two younger children, would take him to the entrance of the amusement park every day. The children inside were laughing and talking, which gradually infected him and made him very curious about the world inside.
Later, the amusement park had an event, and children's tickets were buy one get one free. It was Xie Ning's birthday at that time, and his aunt bought a four-inch cake for Xie Ning. The other two brothers and sisters asked cautiously if they could go to the amusement park. His aunt and uncle looked at each other. They didn't have much living expenses left this month, especially after buying the cake.
If they really wanted to go, only two children could go. What about the remaining one? They didn't want to be partial, but buying an extra ticket meant that their already tight life would become even more difficult.
Xie Ning said, "It's okay, my brothers and sisters can play, I don't like playing these."
The brothers and sisters were very sensible, they wanted to play, but they all shook their heads: "Today is my brother's birthday, he should play. We are still young, there will be opportunities in the future."
But Xie Ning insisted: "The play facilities inside have been played by many people, maybe there are children who urinate on them, I don't want to play."
He expressed his disgust very much, everyone knew that he loved cleanliness, and gradually believed him.
After all, it was a birthday, happiness was the most important thing. After they blew the candles and made wishes at home, their aunt took the brothers and sisters to the amusement park to play, and their uncle took Xie Ning to eat cake in the small pavilion.
Not far away, the merry-go-round was spinning, emitting innocent and childlike songs, and the light strips were bright and shining. The children sitting on it looked like princesses and princes in fairy tales.
In fact, Xie Ning was very curious. He had never seen it so closely before. This pavilion could see the pictures inside very clearly. But he didn't dare to look at it for too long. He was afraid that if he looked at it for a few more times, it would make his uncle feel even more guilty - how embarrassing it would be for an adult to not be able to pay for an extra ticket when the children wanted to go to the amusement park.
The uncle felt very guilty. He touched Xie Ning's head and said, "Uncle has found a new job and can start working soon. When uncle gets paid, I will bring you here to play and eat all the delicious food inside."
But the uncle didn't find a new job at all. Xie Ning still chose to lie: "Uncle, I really don't like playing with these. It's easy to get covered in mud when playing with them."
"That's right, our Ningbao loves cleanliness the most." Uncle said, "Then uncle will work hard in the future to have someone clean the amusement park from top to bottom, and then take Ningbao to rent the amusement park."
Cleanliness is a very useful excuse, and many things can be solved with cleanliness.
Sometimes when passing by toys on the stalls, his parents want to buy them for him, he will shake his head and say that these toys have been touched by many people and he doesn't want them.
His parents took him to a rental house. The rental house was very small, and the bathroom was shared with others. The conditions were very poor. His parents also wanted to give him a better living environment, so they sent him to his uncle and aunt. Xie Ning also said it was okay. He liked the house in his hometown more. It was clean and big.
Sometimes Xie Ning didn't know what he really liked. He was more mature since he was young, and it might be related to his low sexual desire. He really couldn't be interested in many things, and he didn't care about many things.
Cleanliness, he was the shackle he set for himself.
Later, Xie Ning didn't wait for his uncle to take him to the amusement park, because he was picked up by his parents. His parents won a very valuable award, and their lives improved greatly. The first thing they did was to take Xie Ning away.
In his memory, his impression of the amusement park has always been deep, but also very faint. But after so many years, he has never thought about going to the amusement park again.
Because he didn't feel any regrets, but he forgot why.
Xie Ning was distracted, and Pei Zhi next to him snapped his fingers in front of him. Pei Zhi asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Xie Ning came back to his senses and said, "I seem to have forgotten something."
Pei Zhi: "Is it something important?"
"I don't know, but... I always feel that I shouldn't forget it." Xie Ning said, "But I was too young at that time, so young that it's hard to recall now."
Pei Zhi: "If you can't remember, don't think about it. Maybe it's not important."
He held Xie Ning's hand tightly, put it to his lips, and kissed Xie Ning's finger bones, "The key is now, isn't it?"
That's indeed the case.
Xie Ning followed Pei Zhi and walked forward. On the side, a little boy seemed to be celebrating his birthday. He wore a beautiful birthday crown on his head, which shone brightly in the sun.
His eyes stung, and at the same time, the memory box was opened by an invisible hand.
Xie Ning remembered why he had no regrets.
Because he had played in it before.
When Xie Ning was nine years old, he was not able to go to the amusement park to play on his birthday. His uncle still felt very guilty. When he saw someone selling cotton candy on the roadside, he decided to buy one for Xie Ning as a small compensation.
There were many people at that time, and Xie Ning held his uncle's hand tightly, but in just a blink of an eye, they were separated by the crowd.
The cute and icy Xie Ning stood in the crowd in confusion, watching people coming and going, at a loss. He thought he should wait there, but there were many strange faces around him, and there were tricycles passing by, so he was a little scared.
He decided to go back to the pavilion to wait for his uncle.
On the way, Xie Ning met a little boy.
The little boy said, "We know each other. We were in the same class in summer camp."
Xie Ning didn't pay attention to his classmates, and didn't remember who this person was, but he looked a little familiar. He was a little scared because he had just lost his uncle, and he didn't dare to talk to anyone.
The little boy saw the happy birthday paper crown on his head and asked, "Is it your birthday today?"
Xie Ning: "Yes."
"But I didn't prepare a birthday present for you." The little boy said.
Xie Ning: "It doesn't matter."
The little boy: "How can it not matter? It does matter. Of course there must be a birthday present for a birthday..."
The little boy changed his mind, and he suddenly grabbed Xie Ning's hand and ran with Xie Ning in the crowd.
Familiar faces of all sizes were retreating rapidly in front of Xie Ning. He was terrified and scared, but as they got closer to the amusement park, the music became clearer and louder, and he was a little excited.
"Come here." The little boy pushed aside the bushes and squatted down. "You step on me and then go in. This wall is not high, we can sneak in."
Xie Ning's eyes widened: "We are going to sneak in?"
"Yes." The little boy said, "Hurry up, or we will be discovered."
Xie Ning didn't want to do bad things, but he didn't want to be discovered by others. Now he seemed to have become the little boy's accomplice.
But he had never done anything bad. His eyelashes trembled quickly, and his delicate and white face turned red because of nervousness.
The little boy waited for Xie Ning to do anything for a long time, so he stood up, hugged Xie Ning, stepped onto a stone, climbed up the wall, and then jumped down.
This height was too high for little Xie Ning, who had never done such a dangerous thing before. He was so scared that he put his hands around her neck, and he didn't dare to open his eyes until he landed.
The little boy rubbed the back of Xie Ning's head soothingly: "It's okay, you are light. I am a sports player, don't worry, even if I fall, I won't let you get hurt."
"At least I can be your meat pad."
The little boy knew about the secret passage here from somewhere. They didn't have tickets, so they couldn't play entertainment equipment such as carousels. They could only play some slides, swings and the like. But for Xie Ning, this feeling was also very novel.
Xie Ning was sitting on the children's swing, and he was also very small. His white hands tightly grasped the rope, and suddenly he looked back, and happened to meet the eyes of the little boy who was pushing the swing for him.
Xie Ning's hair fluttered in the wind, his body floated up and down, and his face, which was a little cautious and frightened just now , was stained with a little red
. The little boy seemed to be stunned, and then his face turned very red. He came over awkwardly and continued to help Xie Ning push the swing: "How old is your birthday?"
Xie Ning: "Nine years old."
The little boy: "I'm one year younger than you, why am I taller than you."
Xie Ning was a little angry, he didn't want to play on the swing anymore, he jumped off the swing, and the birthday crown on his head fell off.
The little boy quickly picked up the paper crown. There was a little dust on it. When he put it on Xie Ning, Xie Ning turned away in disdain: "No, it's dirty."
"Where is it dirty?" The little boy looked at it over and over again, muttering: "You whiny guy."
It was clearly very clean.
The little boy took off his coat and wiped the paper crown carefully to make sure there was no dust on it before he planned to give it to Xie Ning. But just as he was about to put it on Xie Ning, he decided not to give it to her.
"Wait for me." The little boy ran to the store to buy a new one for Xie Ning.
The prices in the amusement park were high, and the little boy didn't have much money. He saw a plastic crown that was many times more beautiful than the paper one. After asking the price, he shouted on the spot: "What, 20?!"
In those days, 20 yuan was not a small amount.
The little boy obviously had plenty of money, but he was young and his family wouldn't give him much money. He negotiated: "20 is 20, but boss, can I buy you a bottle of milk? I'll pay you back later."
He looked back at Xie Ning and said, "I made him angry, I have to coax him."
The boss also thought the little boy was interesting: "Okay, take the milk... Drink this one, it's more nutritious, and it will help children grow taller."
After just a while, the little boy returned with a full crown. He solemnly put a new crown on Xie Ning, which was bigger, more beautiful, and more expensive than the previous one. He was very satisfied, put on the straw, and slowly handed the milk over.
Xie Ning: "I don't want it."
He couldn't just take other people's things.
"I'll give it to you, just take it." The little boy said, "If you don't want it, I'll throw it away."
Xie Ning had no choice but to take it.
Seeing that Xie Ning was finally willing to drink, the little boy was very happy: "Can we go home together after school?"
Xie Ning bit the straw and looked at him suspiciously with her beautiful wet eyes.
The little boy explained: "I just transferred here, I don't have any friends, and I don't think I can make friends with them. But I like you. When I saw you for the first time in the summer camp, I liked you. You write and draw beautifully... Can we be friends?"
"After school tomorrow, can I wait for you to finish class, and then we can go home together?"
They played in the amusement park for a long time, and they were sweating all over. When they were found by their parents later, both parents were very anxious.
The two children were taken away by their respective parents. Xie Ning was stunned when he saw his anxious uncle and aunt, and immediately apologized.
They just hugged Xie Ning and said, "I'm glad you're okay."
They also asked, "Are you hungry?"
Xie Ning shook his head, and when his uncle picked him up and left, he looked back at the little boy.
Xie Ning has always been a very sensible and well-behaved person in the eyes of his family. This time he got lost, which scared everyone. He also knew that this was wrong, and he shouldn't run around with the little boy, but... if it happened again.
He might still choose to do so.
Regarding the playground, Xie Ning did not feel regretful because his regret had been made up in another way.
"Brother, wait a minute." Qi Ran said, "The queue is too long. I want to buy a fast track ticket. I contacted a scalper, but I have to wait..."
Xie Ning: "It's okay, don't worry."
VIP tickets can enter the VIP channel, which is less crowded and does not require queuing for some projects.
Pei Zhi on the side suddenly said, "If we don't buy tickets, will you let us in?"
Isn't this asking knowingly? Xie Ning said, "No."
"Try it?" Pei Zhi said, "Try the feeling of doing something bad."
Anyway, you can't get in, so it's useless to try. Xie Ning said, "Okay."
Pei Zhi suddenly grabbed Xie Ning's hand and took Xie Ning to the front channel. Their abrupt behavior startled the people on the side and made Qi Ran, who was not far away, full of question marks.
Xie Ning originally thought that they would be stuck and unable to pass through the passage, after all, there was not only a ticket checking machine, but also people waiting nearby. But he didn't expect that the passage was open, and there was no one blocking them, so they just rushed in!
"Pei Zhi, we haven't bought tickets yet--!" The sound of wind was very loud in his ears, and the cold wind made Xie Ning's voice and hair a little messy.
Pei Zhi was still pulling Xie Ning inside, and they went directly into the amusement park without checking tickets!
Xie Ning's pupils dilated, and the feeling of doing something bad was really exciting. His heartbeat quickened, and his hair was blown by the wind. Pei Zhi in front of him suddenly turned his head to look at him, and when they looked at each other, he suddenly had an illusion.
At this moment, his heart was beating so fast that it seemed to jump out of his chest, as if it was caused by Pei Zhi.
When they reached a place with fewer people, they were both a little breathless. Pei Zhi still had the afterglow of excitement on his face. Xie Ning leaned on Xie Ning and took a breath. He said intermittently: "Pei Zhi, no, we still have to go back to pay..."
Xie Ning's sense of morality would not allow him to evade the ticket.
"Baby——" Pei Zhi's low voice came from above. Xie Ning raised his head and saw two tickets between Pei Zhi's fingers. Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, and then heard Pei Zhi say, "I checked the tickets with the staff in advance, and they are online."
Xie Ning's face was a little red due to excessive exercise. He looked at Pei Zhi in surprise, his lips slightly parted, as if he was stunned.
"Otherwise, how could they let us in." Pei Zhi gently rubbed Xie Ning's nose with the ticket, his tone as gentle as his action, "Stupid."
It turned out that Pei Zhi had already paid the money, but took him on a big adventure of escaping the bill.
Xie Ning's heartbeat was still at a high frequency: "You..."
Pei Zhi: "Didn't you say you wanted to do something bad? Is it bad enough and exciting enough this time?"
Xie Ning: "Too exciting."
Pei Zhi: "I've always been afraid of being discovered by you. Every time I can't lie to you, but fortunately today, you were fooled by me."
Pei Zhi held Xie Ning's hand, put it into his coat, and let Xie Ning put her palm on his chest, with only a thin layer of inner wear between them. He said: "When you touch it, my heart beats very fast."
Xie Ning smiled lightly: "My heart beats very fast too."
"Xie Ning, then-"
Pei Zhi only said the beginning and didn't continue talking. Xie Ning slowly raised her head and looked at Pei Zhi. Pei Zhi's eyes were dark, just big enough to fit a complete Xie Ning.
Under the bright golden sunlight, Xie Ning's face was stained with a beautiful light-colored glow. Pei Zhi's gaze was clear and powerful, falling directly on his face, as if at this moment, Pei Zhi's eyes could not fit anything else except him.
Xie Ning was stunned again, invisible electric currents flowing through his body. There was no hug, no excessive physical contact, but he had an extremely intense sense of satisfaction.
The blood quickly gathered in one place, bang, bang, bang, all the sounds in the world disappeared instantly, leaving only the deafening heartbeat.
And Pei Zhi's voice.
Pei Zhi whispered: "Xie Ning."
"Is there a moment when your heart beats for me?"
