"Yeah." Shi Qingruo put her arms around his waist. "My mom told me to make a phone call, but she was worried about me going out alone, so she asked me to come find you. Do you want to go out?"
He hugged her back and held her tightly, "Yes, I went to make a phone call as well. My mom told us to go out and play tomorrow, and she and your mom are going to buy groceries."
“My mom said the same thing.”
Shen Buci let her go and took her to the post office to find a phone booth, "So what do you do with your cousin? Will she follow us?"
"I'll go out with her in the morning. She likes to go shopping in the department store. I'll spend the afternoon with you, and we'll have dinner together in the evening."
Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Okay, if you're tired from playing in the morning, we can go to the movies in the afternoon."
"Um."
Chen Buci took her out to find the post office. The warm yellow lights of the houses on both sides of the alley and the bright moonlight diluted the originally dark night, and the town was covered with a layer of silver light.
The evening breeze blew, the autumn night was chilly, Shen Buci touched her cheek with his fingertips, "Are you cold?"
"What if I say I'm cold?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "Hold you for a while."
"It's not good to hug each other in public, right?" Shi Qingruo tapped the back of his hand with her fingertips.
"It's really not good, then go back and hug again?"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll be cold? If you hug me again, I'll be too cold."
Facing her deliberate "difficulties", Shen Buci was somewhat helpless, "What did Comrade Qing Ruo want me to do at that time?"
"Just kidding, I'm not cold."
As they walked, the moon shadow followed them, and the light and color changed. The corner of the alley was dark, and Shen Buci stretched out his hand to hold her waist and led her into the darkness. The mottled light and shadow that fell on their bodies were instantly withdrawn from the two of them and disappeared.
In the darkness, his breath approached her, and the next moment Qing Ruo fell into his warm arms.
"Are you still cold?" He placed a kiss on her lips, their breath blending together, "If you are cold, I'll hold you tighter."
"Why do you take a joke seriously?" Her vision was instantly deprived by darkness, and the feeling of his body temperature and lips touching were magnified. She felt his warm breath on her cheek, and Shi Qingruo's fingers poked his cheek accurately.
"If it's a joke of yours, I'll take it seriously." He held her fingers and brought them closer to his palm little by little, until he finally wrapped her entire hand in his palm.
A heart-throbbing feeling came over her heart, Shi Qingruo curled up the corners of her lips, and pulled him out of the corner.
The dim yellow light shone on them again, and the moonlight shining on Shen Buci's eyelashes dimly reflected the tenderness in his eyes.
The smile in her eyes shattered into light, Shen Buci clasped her hand tightly, and looked away from her face, his eyes slightly hot.
"What are you going to do tomorrow morning?" she asked.
"I chat with my dad for a while, and go outside to borrow a chess game to kill time with him. I rarely have free time with him."
The telephone booth outside the post office is available 24 hours a day. When they arrived, Shen Buci opened the door and let Shi Qingruo in, listening to her phone call from the side.
After finishing the call and going back, Shen Buci pressed her waist and kissed her before knocking on the door, “Qing Ruo, when you meet my parents, can my family pass your consideration?”
"Yes." Shi Qingruo blinked.
"Are you planning on getting married?"
"have."
Shen Buci rubbed her cheek and said, "Go back to get married during the Chinese New Year?"
"Good." She kissed him on the cheek, "I am very pleased with you."
"Since you are satisfied, can you tell me that you like me?"
“I like Shen Buci very much.”
The smile in her eyes was mixed with moonlight. Hearing this half-coaxed "I like it", an indescribable heartbeat fermented in his heart, and then quickly swept away all his emotions.
Shen Buci pressed her back and embedded her deeply in his arms, and let go after a while, “Satisfied, go back, see you tomorrow morning, I will bring you breakfast so that your aunt doesn’t have to go out to buy it.”
