The day before the college entrance examination, Xie Jingsheng, who had not appeared for a long time, came back.
He looks much thinner than before.
Nuan Nuan pinched his arm and teased, "Jingsheng, what did you do in school? You look so much thinner."
Xie Jingsheng rubbed her head - "You have lost weight too."
They both looked at each other and laughed.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
Nuannuan agreed without thinking.
"Where are we going? Do you want to go?"
Xie Jingsheng - "Relax before the exam. I asked your brother and he wants to go out and play with his classmates."
The main reason was that Gu An trusted Xie Jingsheng very much. After all, they had been together for so many years, and he had seen that this man treated Nuannuan no worse than his own sister.
Xie Jingsheng drove and took Nuannuan and the big white wolf Lele to a remote mountain village.
Xie Jingsheng said, "This is my hometown. When I was very young, my father and his family often brought me back to accompany my grandparents. There is a lake in the valley over there. The water inside is very clear and clean, and there are fireflies at night."
Following the direction he pointed, Nuannuan couldn't see the scenery he was talking about, but she could imagine it.
"Come on, I'll take you to see it. I discovered that place by accident, and no one has told anyone about it since."
Nuannuan agreed, and the two of them and the wolf walked side by side into the mountains.
The mountains are very quiet and not as hot as in big cities. A cool breeze blows, bringing with it the fragrance of grass and trees.
Along the way, I felt the natural breeze, listened to the chirping of insects and birds, looked at the green mountains and colorful wild flowers, and the blue sky and white clouds between the swaying trees. The nervous mood before the exam. Even during the holidays, all the knowledge that kept flowing in my mind seemed to have calmed down at this moment.
Especially when she saw the lake he mentioned, Nuannuan could no longer think of anything else.
It really was a lake that could be called jade, and he even saw rabbits, deer, and some other small animals drinking water there.
Xie Jingsheng - "Although there are some wild animals in this mountain, there are no large beasts."
The small mountain animals that originally belonged to this place seemed to have discovered the intruders. They looked up suddenly in surprise and saw them slipping away quickly.
In the blink of an eye, only a shadow was seen.
Xie Jingsheng took her to find a place to sit down, then he tore off a leaf, put it to his mouth and blew it.
A light and simple melody came out from the leaves in his hands.
Nuan Nuan, who was sitting next to her, widened her eyes.
When he finished playing, the warm little seal clapped his hands.
"So awesome and so nice! Jingsheng, how did you do that?!"
Xie Jingsheng had a smile on his face, just like the lake, with its shimmering light.
"Want to learn?"
The girl nodded with sparkling eyes. Of course she did!
"Okay, I'll teach you."
The two of them sat on the clean stones, temporarily forgetting everything worldly and just quietly enjoying a moment of peace.
Lele lay beside it, watching the shadow reflected in the water rippling in the lake, so clear that it seemed like a picture from another world.
Xie Jingsheng said that the lake is not the most beautiful now. It is only at night when the fireflies are hanging on the lake that it becomes the most beautiful.
Nuan Nuan was tired from playing and took a nap on his shoulder. When she was woken up again, the scenery she saw amazed her.
The lake in the night reflects the moonlight, as if it were sprinkled with gold powder.
The stars in the sky were also clearly reflected on the lake.
The fireflies also woke up in the night. Nuannuan had never seen so many fireflies before. The fireflies that had been resting on the surrounding grass, flowers and trees began to fly up.
The light was so small, but it gathered into countless points of light. Especially when flying above the lake, the reflection and reality merged together, which was even more shocking, like a falling galaxy.
And now, she could see it all.
Looking at such a beautiful scenery, Nuannuan stretched out her hand, and a firefly fell on her fair and green fingers.
“So beautiful.”
She murmured softly, turned her head and prepared to share this joy with the people around her, but she was caught off guard and met his eyes.
Nuannuan was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and a smile spread across her clear eyes.
"Thank you Jingsheng!"
She thought that the eye contact was just a result of telepathy, but she didn't know that when she was looking at the scenery, she actually became a scenery in the eyes of others.
Xie Jingsheng didn't know why, but when he saw the girl surrounded by fireflies and stars in the night, he suddenly couldn't bear to look away.
He was not awakened until she turned her head. At that moment, his heart was beating fast, and he even felt panic and an unknown sense of sadness rising from the bottom of his heart, but he pretended to be calm.
When Nuannuan turned his eyes away, fireflies flew past him in the night, illuminating his red ears and face.
Xie Jingsheng felt that he was sick.
After returning home that day, I couldn't sleep at night. I didn't know what was going on with my emotions at that moment. I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. I simply described my situation and sent it to Hua Qingci.
For some reason, he didn't mention Nuannuan.
Finally, he asked very seriously (Am I sick?)
Hua Qingci laughed heartily after reading it.
"Hsieh Ching-sheng, ah, Hsieh Ching-sheng, I never thought you would end up like this!"
Hua Qingci (Did you see someone like this?)
Xie Jingsheng (Yes.)
Hua Qingci (Is that person a girl?)
Xie Jingsheng (Yes, what’s the problem?)
The next second, Hua Qingci sent a voice message directly. Xie Jingsheng clicked it and was caught off guard by a smile on his face.
Hua Qingci——"Hahaha... Xie Jingsheng is really something. He actually said that being moved is like being sick. The thousand-year-old iron tree has blossomed. Brother, tell me who it is! Is it someone I know?"
With a loud bang, Xie Jingsheng felt as if his brain went blank, and he didn't know when his cell phone fell to the ground.
"Are you moved...?"
He murmured, clutching his heart.
"But how is that possible!"
He clearly treats Nuannuan as his sister, there must be something wrong, definitely!
He fell asleep at three in the morning that night, and woke up the next day to send Nuannuan to the exam.
But when he woke up in the morning and thought about what happened last night, his expression became cold.
Nuan Nuan——"Jingsheng, what's wrong with you?"
When Xie Jingsheng heard Nuannuan's voice, he looked over subconsciously. His eyes met the girl's eyes and face. His ears turned red, but he remained calm and reserved.
"Nothing, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."
Nuan Nuan reached out and touched his forehead - "You taught me to go to bed early, but you didn't sleep well yourself."
As she muttered, she noticed that Xie Jingsheng's face suddenly turned red.
Nuan Nuan——“!!”
"Jingsheng, do you have a cold?!"
Xie Jingsheng - "No."
It's just that my face is a bit disappointing.
He never noticed it before, but after the truth was revealed last night, Xie Jingsheng felt that something was wrong with him, especially when facing Nuannuan.
"Are you really alright?"
Xie Jingsheng——"It's just a little hot, it's okay, go take the exam, I'll be waiting for you."
Just like when he took the college entrance examination, she was waiting for him.
But...the difference is that he is not the only one waiting for Nuannuan!
