Chapter 31
Jiang Qiao lowered his eyes and stared at the 99+ messages on his phone. The few seconds of silence in the air made him feel inexplicably suffocated.
166 didn't say anything else, because it knew Jiang Qiao understood.
There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Qiao came to his senses. He opened the door and saw two girls living downstairs.
"Hey, little sister, do you want to stay up with me tonight?" said one of the cute round-faced girls.
Her name is Yuan Yi, and the person next to her is her childhood friend Zhu Min. Both of them are orphans, and grew up together in an orphanage. Every year during the Chinese New Year, when the family reunites, the two of them will go somewhere together for a trip.
Zhu Min was shy and smiled at Jiang Qiao.
They didn't know why this pretty girl, who looked very young, came to this B&B alone on this special holiday away from her family, and they didn't plan to ask.
Everyone has their own secrets.
After all, on this special holiday, it is always more lively when homeless people stay up together.
Jiang Qiao did not refuse and followed the two downstairs.
She almost forgot that it was already the third year.
The two boys did not go home either. They went to a small supermarket not far away and bought a lot of snacks, drinks, and fireworks of all kinds.
When paying, Jiang Qiao's face was full of pain.
Who knows, fireworks are so expensive nowadays? A few fairy wands cost twenty yuan!
Twenty dollars! Even the landlord doesn’t dare to ask for that much!
Fortunately, upon learning that Jiang Qiao was just 18 years old and still in her third year of high school, the four adults in their twenties showed great sympathy for her and told her to just play along and not let her pay.
Jiang Qiao was thick-skinned and kept saying thank you brother and thank you sister in a very sweet tone. His sudden change left the four of them stunned.
The shop owner and his wife made dumplings, and several people sat together, eating the dumplings and drinking some wine. It was getting dark.
Jiang Qiao went to the yard with a bag of fireworks in his arms, feeling very satisfied.
She deliberately changed into a long black down jacket, put on a hat, and wrapped herself in the down jacket, revealing only her pale face.
Lanterns were lit in the yard.
The fairy wand lit up in her hand, and the colorful light was imprinted in her eyes. She thought of Lu Xun at an inappropriate time.
How is he going to spend the night alone?
He probably didn't eat dumplings. I guess he just had a simple meal like usual and then sat at his old desk to do the test.
You can't still work part-time, hahaha, that's too inhumane.
Yuan Yi called her and asked her to light up the big fireworks, the kind that could explode into the sky. Jiang Qiao went to light them with great interest.
The first one was a dud, and the second one shot up into the sky. With a muffled thud, the fireworks spread out in the air, exploding into crackling clusters that lit up the sky and the faces of everyone on the ground.
Everyone was smiling, except for the tall and slender figure standing silently not far away.
The man had clear and cold eyebrows and eyes, his emotions were churning in his eyes, his lips were neither thick nor thin, tightly pursed, and he walked very slowly, like a tired traveler who had finally found his home.
The laughter around them faded away, and fireworks spread in the sky one after another, creating a golden rain of flowers, which disappeared behind the man.
Jiang Qiao's smile froze completely, and all kinds of emotions surged into his heart, but in the end they were suppressed by stronger doubts.
Oh my god, this is the strength of the hero in the novel? Who can tell her how Lu Xun found this place?
She frantically called 166 in her mind. 166 was also immersed in shock and could not answer her question at all. He numbly said: "Something must have gone wrong, something must have gone wrong......"
How could the male protagonist be so obsessed with a vicious female supporting role that he even followed her here!
Jiang Qiao didn't care about that. Her heart was pounding. As Lu Xun got closer, she gradually became more and more nervous.
She wanted to run, but her feet felt like they were rooted to the ground and she couldn't move at all.
What should I do? What should I do? As the male protagonist, isn’t Lu Xun supposed to be cold-hearted? How come he actually came to me?
The plot is so twisted that even her own mother doesn't recognize her. She is just a vicious female supporting role who follows the plot. How else can she correct the plot?
Help, someone can teach her!
Jiang Qiao really admired himself. Even at this time, he still wanted to complete the task. He was really doing his duty. Unfortunately, the system was not powerful enough.
He weakly said some useless nonsense: "You, you should hold him steady first."
[What happens after it stabilizes?!]
166 stopped talking again.
Jiang Qiao resisted the urge to curse, with a frozen smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with guilt, which was very funny.
As she got closer, she saw the red bloodshot in Lu Xun's eyes, which was caused by not having rest for a long time.
Lu Xun stopped, his Adam's apple rolled twice, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
His hanging hand trembled slightly, but he still touched the girl's fair face with caution and tentativeness. The touch was slightly cool, but it was a real feeling.
Under the fireworks, Lu Xun held her tightly in his arms. He lowered his head and buried his chin in the girl's neck.
Jiang Qiao could feel his rapid breathing, which was so hot that she subconsciously shrank back, but he held her even tighter.
"Why didn't you answer the phone?" After a few seconds, the boy said in a hoarse voice. It was not a question, but just a simple confusion and doubt.
"I, I didn't see it." Jiang Qiao said dryly.
"I called you many times and sent you many messages." Lu Xun said, "You didn't reply to me."
Jiang Qiao was still trying to find an excuse, but Lu Xun said bitterly, "Jiang Qiao, have you... been lying to me all this time?"
Jiang Qiao's eyes widened slightly, and his eyelashes trembled.
Lu Xun: "You don't really like me that much, do you?"
So, you can choose not to tell anyone about the incident at home and just come to this place alone and watch him searching like a headless fly, or you can just ignore him.
166 was sending random garbled characters in his mind. Jiang Qiao was also anxious, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "No, I don't, I like you, I just, just..."
Just what...
Jiang Qiao's eyes lit up, and she choked up, "I'm just afraid of losing you..."
Lu Xun was stunned.
Jiang Qiao cried, "Lu Xun, my family is bankrupt and I have no money. I'm afraid you will take this opportunity to leave me. I know you don't like me at all. You are only with me because I threatened you..."
No, it has not been like that for a long time... Lu Xun wanted to refute, but his throat seemed to be choked.
"I know I'm terrible. Now I don't even have a home." Jiang Qiao was still crying, and said hesitantly in a trembling voice: "Lu Xun, please don't leave me, okay..."
She cried miserably, but in her heart she was expecting: Reject me! Reject me!
Until I heard Lu Xun's deep and emotional "Okay."
The hanging heart finally died.
"Ah...ah?" Jiang Qiao didn't even care about crying: "What did you say?"
Lu Xun felt that she was insecure, and his heart suddenly became even more bitter. He gently kissed her forehead: "Jiang Qiao, don't worry, I won't leave you."
We still have to separate for the six years that we should be apart~ But not now. The three years in the introduction is wrong. I will correct it in a few days~
