Chapter 319 Silent Confession
Xiao Beisheng put down his knife and fork, picked up a wet towel and wiped his hands slowly.
"If you don't like it, we can go back."
"I didn't say I was going back."
"So what do you want?"
"I..." Luo Yan felt a breath in her chest and wanted to let it out, but when she met her opponent Xiao Beisheng, the breath was completely blocked.
"You said you wanted to go out and play, so here we are. You want to make requests, and we'll give them to you. What else are you dissatisfied with? What else do you want me to do?"
Xiao Beisheng spread his hands and spoke in a calm tone as if Luo Yan was being unreasonable.
"I understand." Luo Yan said in a muffled voice.
It was indeed she who made the fuss about going out to play.
It doesn't make sense to say that Xiao Beisheng did it on purpose.
The other side.
Su Man and Qiao Shiyan brought Dou Dou to the beach together.
The tide had receded, revealing a large area of soft sand on the beach, embedded with the corpses of many marine creatures.
People lit five or six bonfires along the beach.
Everyone gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing. The sound of waves carried the laughter and joy to the depths of the ocean and then pushed them to the shore.
Qiao Shiyan and Su Man found an open place, spread out a picnic blanket on the sand, and the three of them sat side by side on the picnic blanket.
Doudou crawled around curiously. Suman was worried about Doudou, so she held the child on her lap.
A photographer was capturing the scenery at the beach. When he saw the family of three, he couldn't resist the urge to capture a beautiful shot, so he focused on them and pressed the shutter.
Doudou grabbed a handful of sand and was about to stuff it into his mouth, but Qiao Shiyan stopped him, "No!"
Su Man laughed out loud, "Let him eat. I'll record him. When he gets married in the future, I'll play his embarrassing childhood stories at his wedding."
Qiao Shiyan smiled bitterly: "How can there be such a mother?"
At this time, a man holding a camera walked towards them. "Hello, I'm a professional photographer. I just saw your family of three. Because the scene was so heartwarming, I took a picture of you without asking you. If you don't mind, I'll post this photo as my personal work on the social platform and send you a copy of the original as a souvenir. If you don't mind, I can delete it. It's okay."
Suman asked, "Can we take a look?"
"sure!"
The photographer was very enthusiastic and came over with his camera to show them.
The photographer took several photos in a row, including one of Doudou crawling on the ground with Su Man holding the child; one of Qiao Shiyan holding Doudou above his head with Doudou giggling; and one of Su Man holding Doudou with the three of them looking at the campfire from behind.
The bonfire not far away illuminates them, which is the best fill light for the atmosphere.
The picture is warm and happy.
"It's great to take these photos. Should we keep them?" Qiao Shiyan discussed with Su Man.
Su Man also thought the photos were good, "Great! In these photos, Doudou looks like a custard bun, so cute."
"Thank you. Let me take a front-facing family photo of you." The photographer suggested again.
Su Man and Qiao Shiyan looked at each other, then looked at Doudou and smiled knowingly, "Okay."
The photographer took several photos of them in a row.
In the distance, Xiao Beisheng and Luo Yan also came to the beach hand in hand.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Su Man and Qiao Shiyan being approached by the photographer.
Luo Yan said disdainfully: "This group of people is so boring."
"I told you that you wouldn't be interested in this kind of occasion, but you insisted on coming." Xiao Beisheng didn't care much.
Luo Yan stopped talking.
It's not that she's not interested.
On the contrary, she liked it very much and was eager for it.
However, her family conditions since childhood made her suppress this desire deep in her heart.
In her memory, her parents were always busy making a living, always exhausted. Their clothes were always dusty, and their hair was always greasy because they would buy less shampoo to save money on water and electricity.
They never spared a second glance at the bustling world. They also wouldn't allow Luo Yan to look. If she took another look, showed even the slightest curiosity, they would immediately rebuke her and drag her away.
The happy occasion does not belong to their world.
The bright lights are something that a poor family like theirs could never dream of.
Growing up in such an environment, Luo Yan became inferior. She not only learned to suppress her own desires, but also learned to pretend to despise these occasions, in order to form a strong shell to protect her pitifully humble self-esteem.
Later, she met Xiao Beisheng.
In order to show that he is different from others, to appear different and to have his own personality from the girls around him, he always pretends to be very individual and shows disdain for these things.
But in fact, as long as Xiao Beisheng observes carefully, is willing to enter her inner world and explore carefully, he will find that these are just her disguises.
Xiao Beisheng never paid serious attention to her inner thoughts.
Luo Yan asked him: "Do you like it?"
"Me? I can do anything."
"I saw that when you and Su Man got married, you seemed very happy to join her in the fun. You seemed to enjoy it. Do you also like the feeling of this worldly life?"
Luo Yan's question caught Xiao Beisheng off guard.
Does he like it?
Maybe what he likes is just the feeling brought by the person next to him.
"If you like, I can change my preferences, and I can also experience these things with you." Luo Yan said.
Xiao Beisheng frowned. "You don't have to change anything for others. Just be yourself. That's how Luo Yan shone among the crowd in the past."
"Yeah……"
Luo Yan couldn't help feeling lonely.
So she is destined to pretend to be someone she doesn't like in order to get the attention she wants.
People don't love her for who she is, they only love her disguise.
But that wasn't her.
Xiao Beisheng didn't notice the loneliness of the people around him. His dark eyes fell on Su Man's "family of three". The photographer was taking pictures of them. They kept changing poses and having a lot of fun.
Their happiness is so noisy.
Xiao Beisheng looked away, feeling a little unhappy.
"Bang--!"
"Bang--!!"
With a few sharp sounds, fireworks exploded in the night sky. Several gorgeous fireworks, surrounded by the largest one, bloomed in the dark blue sky over the sea.
Everyone looked up at the fireworks.
The photographer took photos of Suman and the others, added each other's contact information, and promised to help them refine the photos after returning, and then send them together with the refined photos.
Afterwards, the photographer said goodbye to them and went to take pictures of the fireworks.
Su Man held Dou Dou and watched the fireworks intently. Qiao Shiyan sat next to Su Man and also looked up at the fireworks, but his mind was not on the fireworks.
Fireworks exploded, red, yellow, blue and purple, reflecting the gorgeous and ever-changing sea and sky. In such a romantic atmosphere, Qiao Shiyan's heart was stirred. He mustered up the courage and looked at Su Man beside him.
Su Man felt his eager gaze, looked away in surprise, and looked back at Qiao Shiyan in confusion.
She looked at him and asked what was wrong.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Shiyan's eyes were fixed on her without blinking.
Su Man saw her own reflection in his pupils. His gaze turned into a deep spring pool, rippling with light. His feelings grew deeper and stronger.
Suman's heart was pounding.
At this moment, Qiao Shiyan's undisguised feelings burst out from his eyes. Without saying a word, Su Man had already heard his confession.
He slowly leaned towards Suman——
He wanted to kiss her.
