Ignite hope, new game hides motivation subconsciously
Xue Jiuyue focused on the sensations of her body, but with the "left and right guards" beside her and a large schoolbag on her back, she was well protected. Soon, the revelry brought by the parade drew her attention away again.
A day of playful, childlike fun not only released all the emotions they'd accumulated over the past period, but also left the four of them exhausted. As they exited the last pavilion, the distance to the exit seemed infinitely distant as the setting sun dragged them down. Their backpacks, uneaten food and water, and even their legs felt like a burden, and they were ready to abandon them.
"Ahem..." Even Ke Yike's logo was as weak as a radio without power, but he still squeezed out a little strength to make a suggestion, "Let's play a game!"
"What game? Forget it if it's too tiring." Zhou Ying still responded.
"Let's play rock, paper, scissors! The four of us..." Before he could finish, Ke Yike changed the subject and said, "Let's play with the three of us. The loser carries the winner on his back for ten steps. If one person beats two people, they both carry him for ten steps. If two people beat one person, each person carries the two people for ten steps. What do you think? Do you two dare to play?"
"Play!" Lin Yiyi expressed her opinion first!
Zhou Ying was not to be outdone, "I have no problem either."
The three of them quickly got to work. Soon the first sentence came out with the result, and Ke Yike carried the two girls on his back for ten steps each.
In the second round, Ke Yike and Lin Yiyi each carried Zhou Ying on their backs for ten steps.
In the third round, the situation changed. Zhou Ying had to carry Lin Yiyi and Ke Yike on her back for ten steps each. Fortunately, Lin Yiyi was a girl carrying a girl, so there was nothing wrong with that.
It was just Ke Yike's turn. "Ying'er, is this okay?"
"bring it on!"
Zhou Ying carried Ke Yike on her back, which was not only strenuous but also drew all sorts of stares from the crowd. But who cared? Isn't youth just about being spontaneous? The three of them were so enraptured that by the end of the last ten steps, even Ke Yike collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. They gasped for air and laughed heartily. Even Lin Yiyi, usually a glamorous beauty in Qiu Nian's eyes, was laughing so hard that she collapsed.
The three of them were having fun, while Xue Jiuyue was dragging her heavy legs alone, feeling bored. Now their laughter was like a feather, tickling Xue Jiuyue's heart and making her eager to try. "Just now, when I was watching the parade, I wanted to test whether I was okay. Isn't now a good time?!" Thinking of this, Xue Jiuyue said, "I want to play too!"
Ke Yike raised an objection first, "Sister Yue? What if I carry you on my back, or you carry me on your back?"
"I accept defeat!" Xue Jiuyue said these four words firmly.
Since Xue Jiuyue had no objection, Ke Yike was of course willing, "Then give it a try. If you run into it, don't force it!"
Perhaps Ke Yike had secretly prayed, because in the first round, he had his turn to carry three girls, each for ten steps. Zhou Ying and Lin Yiyi both grabbed Ke Yike's shoulders, then leaped forward, kneeling on his hands behind his back. This position didn't seem particularly intimate. Xue Jiuyue planned to follow suit.
"Sister Yue, are you sure?" Ke Yike asked a final question.
"Sure!"
Xue Jiuyue first carefully grasped Ke Yike's shoulders. Through the thin T-shirt, Ke Yike's body heat and sweat penetrated. Her palm felt like an electric shock, but the voltage wasn't high, a slight pain, not too deep and bearable. After holding steady for a few seconds, the sensation subsided, though a little numb.
Seeing Xue Jiuyue firmly grasping Ke Yike's shoulders, everyone was extremely excited. Xue Jiuyue even jumped up and hit Ke Yike's hand with his knee. Ke Yike ran like a spring. However, his joy turned into sorrow. He had only run a few steps when he stumbled and fell. He was still supporting Xue Jiuyue with both hands. If he turned sideways, Xue Jiuyue would be thrown off again, so Ke Yike could only bravely hit the ground.
"Ah!" The scream came from Xue Jiuyue, and the familiar pain made her roll down instantly.
She stood up and, ignoring the pain, looked at Ke Yike first.
I saw Ke Yike lying on the ground, but he turned around and looked at me with concern, "Sister Yue, are you okay?"
"I didn't fall, it didn't hurt like before. How are you?"
"I'm fine!" Ke Yike tried to get up quickly, but the pain made him pause. It turned out that in the emergency, he only raised his head, missed the face, but hit his knee.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Ying noticed something unusual.
Ke Yike rolled up his pants. His knees were scraped but not swollen. "It's okay, just a little skin broken."
Zhou Ying squatted down and checked to make sure there was nothing serious.
"How is it? I said everything is fine." Ke Yike was about to feel proud when he thought of Xue Jiuyue again, "I just thought Sister Yue was completely healed."
His words brought everyone to a state of loss.
"It's okay, it's much better! This is an improvement that was unimaginable before." Xue Jiuyue was not so discouraged. Before, whether it was climbing a mountain with Liu Che or having Liu Che draw her eyebrows, although there were more intimate contacts than this, but later, when she secretly tried to touch Ke Yike or others, the pain was also unbearable.
Xue Jiuyue was so happy about the huge progress that she couldn't help but tell "Shui Mo Xing'er", but she didn't expect to be criticized.
"Beautiful Yue, were you moved by your brother's confession that made the sky weep? Or did his tears break through your defenses?"
"No. I'm really touched, but as I said, it's impossible for us."
"If that's the case, then why do you let your brother carry you? Don't tell me it's just a game! Don't you know that every little detail in a relationship will be infinitely magnified by the love brain? Your contact with him is a big step forward for you, and it's even more of a leap for your brother. He'll think that your trip to the grassland has changed you, and it will give rise to many new ideas."
Xue Jiuyue felt that what "Spit Star" said made sense, but she still had a glimmer of hope, "No way, I told him very clearly before, there is absolutely no possibility for him and me."
"But he hasn't given up either, has he? As you said, he's already said he'll do his best. Now, your unintentional action will cause his brother to make more moves, and it might even cause you, the donor, a lot of trouble."
"Then I'll find a chance to tell him again?"
"Can you still find a chance? In addition to sealing the subconscious, consciousness also packages the subconscious." "Spit Star" suddenly started muttering.
"What's the meaning?"
"I've previously discussed with Princess Yue that the contents of the subconscious mind might not be beautiful, or even moral, so the conscious mind will seal them away. However, it can also disguise itself beyond recognition to deceive the conscious mind. This results in a behavior often having more than one motivation. We often choose a high-sounding excuse to conceal a deeper, more invisible motive, so that in the end, we ourselves may not even know which is the true purpose."
Xue Jiuyue was shocked by the "spitting" statement. "Are you saying that I won't completely reject him because I subconsciously accept him?"
"What's the problem?"
"Absolutely not! I don't love him, I know it perfectly well."
"Desires are often masked by lies until we believe them ourselves. Intimacy is based on love, and this is a proposition that belongs to the realm of consciousness and morality. I'm not saying that you will definitely have a relationship with your brother. I'm just kindly reminding you to know yourself better so that you can make decisions more easily. Especially in the days before the doctor returns, you should be more wary of your subconscious mind taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble."
As soon as Liu Che was mentioned, Xue Jiuyue's attention was immediately diverted, "What do you mean by him returning? He hasn't contacted me for such a long time."
"Haven't you been waiting for him all this time?"
"I didn't."
"Well, it's almost time anyway..."
"What's going on? Are you counting on your fingers again?"
"I didn't." "Spit Star" copied Xue Jiuyue's chat history and sent it back, and even deliberately exposed the flaws, copying and pasting the time when Xue Jiuyue sent the text.
And so, as the two played out their distant frolic, night gradually swallowed up the prosperity adorning time, leaving behind a thick black like a ball of ink. Sometimes it outlined Liu Che's mellowness, sometimes depicted Ke Yike's mischievousness. Finally, like a malicious smear, the chaotic, clawing black fog plucked out the fear within while also sensitive to the abnormality in the body.
Finally, under the morning light and the warm water, the elusive dream and the shy reality were washed away. Everything returned to calm, although there was anticipation hidden under the calmness - after all, the "Spit Star" charlatan had been quite accurate before.
The time of anticipation is long and monotonous, repeating over and over again like the rotation of a pointer on a dial, seemingly having a direction, yet seemingly aimless.
Cheng Qing's sudden visit caused ripples in this peaceful time.
"Why are you here without even saying hello in advance?" Xue Jiuyue asked in surprise.
"I called you and you didn't answer. I figured you were in the store, so I came straight here."
Xue Jiuyue heard the hidden meaning, "So, you came to see me specifically? What's the matter? Is there something good?"
"No, I'm just upset! I'm a little confused emotionally! Although telling you this is probably wishful thinking, but you're my only best friend, and I'm really at a loss!"
"Did something happen between you and Ren Hongyi? Not really. You seemed quite distant from each other during the cocktail party."
Cheng Qing lowered her head and tangled her fingers in her long hair, looking very depressed. "It's my problem. I thought I just liked her and that I was rational enough to control my feelings. I didn't expect that I would fall into this."
"Didn't you scold me the day before yesterday? It's only been a short time."
"The day before yesterday, when I was talking about you, I was actually reminding myself! Today, I came to you to scold me. I hope you can wake me up! Because yesterday, I suddenly had an impulse that scared me."
"Tell me what the performance is." Xue Jiuyue's cute face full of curiosity made Cheng Qing laugh.
"I knew I made the wrong decision today!" Cheng Qing complained, but still told the truth: "Hey, my mind is full of him, which makes me very irrational. It takes a lot of effort to restrain the urge to throw myself into his arms. I don't care about forever, I just want to have it once... Especially when I was working overtime last night, if a colleague hadn't come back to get something, I would have sacrificed myself without caring about shame! Now that I think about it, I'm not only irritated, but also a little scared, so I came to find you."
"Wow, so exciting!" Xue Jiuyue was stunned by Cheng Qing in front of her, "Is this love?"
"Can you please have some conscience? I helped you clear up the rumors among your classmates. Now I'm feeling bad too. Can't you just pretend to care?"
"Oh, okay, I care about you!" Xue Jiuyue's concern was perfunctory. "Don't be upset. It hasn't happened yet. Just thinking about it is not a crime. And even if you offer yourself to her, it will probably be boring. She always talks about her family. Do you have a chance?"
Cheng Qing asked quietly, "Are you sure he's not hypnotizing himself?"
