Jing Ling's movements were quick and unexpected. Yun Shu didn't realize what was happening until he felt a warm breath and a slight dampness in his palm. Although it was just a kiss on the palm of her hand and the kiss left immediately, to outsiders it might look like an accidental touch, but she still blushed for a moment. He quickly withdrew his hand and glanced at the faces of the people at the same table. Fortunately, they were all drinking or chatting. When he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes met with Liu Dan next to him. The other's eyes were curved into crescents and there was a teasing smile on the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that he had discovered something fishy.
"I forgot to wear my glasses today, so I didn't see anything." She added in a low voice.
The embarrassment turned into speechlessness in a second. Yunshu replied to her, "Please, you don't usually wear glasses."
"Hehe!" Liu Dan laughed.
Yunshu turned around and glared at Jing Ling.
He also smiled, and his eyes behind the plain glasses were full of doting.
The others had really not noticed this side at first, but now they all looked over here. In the small private room of the barbecue restaurant, the light from the bulb hanging from the ceiling was a little dim, revealing a cheap atmosphere everywhere, but it made the combination of handsome men and beautiful women even more pleasing to the eye.
It goes without saying that it is pleasing to the eyes, but not everyone is willing to admit it. For example, the three boys who joined the team later, although they were not even potential rivals in love, they were just trash at best, but trash also had dignity. It doesn’t matter if you fail in love, it’s also good to get back on track in a bar.
Among the three boys, one of them, named Guo Fei, was good at playing cards. He made eye contact with the other two, exchanged glances with them, then stood up, took the cards on the table, and made some small movements when shuffling them.
Guo Fei thought he was doing it without anyone noticing, but to Jing Ling it was child's play. After all, he was the one who swept through all the major casinos and was finally put on the top blacklist.
However, Jing Ling did not expose him, but just stared at Guo Fei's actions for a few seconds. The other party's psychological quality was a bit poor. When he was looked at like this, his hands began to tremble and his expression looked a little strange. He had excellent hearing, and after looking away, he heard the other person breathe a sigh of relief.
In the new round of the game, Guo Fei shuffled the cards and went first. "One in hand, just in time, a big bowl!" As he said this, he turned over another card. Five o'clock, counting clockwise from his side, it was Jing Ling. Another boy who was one of the accomplices picked up the wine bowl and handed it to Jing Ling. Although the smile on his face was very restrained, he still looked gloating. He asked, "Do you want to help me drink some?"
Jing Ling remained calm, smiled and shook his head, "No, thank you." After saying that, he took the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
The rules of the game are that the drinkers continue to come up with ideas. After Jing Ling finished drinking, he put the bowl down, reached out to draw a card seemingly casually, and placed a bet before opening the bet, "Just right, a big bowl. I don't know who this will fall on, I hope it's not me, and not my Yunshu." After saying that, he opened the bet, a little more than Guo Fei's just now, and counting clockwise, it fell right on his head.
“Wow!”
“Hahahahahaha!”
"Guo Fei, you have such bad luck. Just when you gave it away, it came back again!"
Everyone started to make a noise, and even Guo Fei's two accomplices laughed unkindly.
Guo Fei didn't doubt it and took the bowl readily. He didn't want to lose, so he drank it all in one breath.
After that, it was Guo Fei's turn to open the cards. He was the one who shuffled the cards, so he was very confident that even if he couldn't cheat Jing Ling, at least it wouldn't fall on his head. So he directly raised the bet, "Just right, two big bowls!" When he turned over the cards, he found that it was not Jing Ling, and certainly not him, but one of his accomplices.
The latter also did not suspect anything and just thought he was unlucky. But two large bowls of wine would make one's stomach bloated even if it was water, not to mention beer. He made a bitter face and drank the wine in several gulps.
The game that followed was very confusing. The cards were turned over many times, and almost all of them fell on a few boys, especially Gao Fei and his accomplices. Jing Ling drank a bowl, and the three of them had at least one bowl each. After playing a round of cards, all three of them were drunk, with alcohol rushing to their heads, their eyes were blurry, and they could hardly sit still.
Yunshu was a little worried about Jing Ling at first, but he realized something was wrong when he saw the end. The game turned into a PK between four people. Gao Fei and his friends faced Jing Ling 3v1, but they lost miserably. They were very drunk, but Jing Ling's expression did not change, and his eyes were clear without any sign of drunkenness.
I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. This is really not an exaggeration.
It wasn't just Yunshu who noticed it, other people also noticed it, but everyone liked to watch the show, so they didn't point it out and just sat on the sidelines and watched.
Finally, Director Luo gave Jing Ling a thumbs up. "At first, I asked you how much you can drink, and you told me it's OK. Now it seems that this is really good! Where do you work? Are you interested in applying here? You can also take care of your girlfriend nearby, right? We are in need of talents like you!"
Hearing this, Yun Shu looked at Jing Ling curiously, wanting to know what he would say. Then he lied calmly, "Thank you for the compliment, Director, but I just passed the postgraduate entrance examination this year, so there is no rush for work for now."
She understood the meaning of Jing Ling's words almost immediately. She graduated this year and came to Chashan, and he said he took the postgraduate entrance examination, which gave people a hint that they were in the same grade. He was also dressed a little more maturely today, and looked a few years older than his actual age.
This is all because she is worried that remote and backward places like Chashan would not be very accepting of relationships between older women and younger men, and she is worried that others would look at her with tinted glasses.
She herself hadn't expected this. Because Jing Ling has always shown a maturity beyond his age. Needless to say, his appearance is almost perfect, in line with the aesthetic tastes of most people. He has a gentle and considerate personality, and there is a mysterious aura around him.
He is still in the entertainment industry and has a group of fans cheering for him. It is hard to imagine that such a gifted person could be so considerate.
Fans often say that anyone who marries their idol in the future must have saved the world in their previous life.
Yunshu felt that she must have saved the galaxy to meet such a person.
It was already past ten o'clock when they finished eating. After Jing Ling paid the bill, he packed up the three drunks and sent them to the hotel next door. He and Yunshu then sent the girls back. They all live in dormitories provided by the government. Walk along the fork in the road at the entrance and turn a corner to see a newly built road, usually paved with asphalt on one side and gravel on the other. Walk straight to the end and you will reach the dormitory, which takes about ten minutes.
There are immigrant resettlement areas on both sides of the road, with many houses but not many people. There were no street lights and most people along the road were asleep. Fortunately, the moon was bright in the sky and the headlights of the occasional passing cars could illuminate the road.
As they walked, Yunshu said to Jingling, "This morning, Qian Wei and I went to the village to visit poor households. The mountain road was really winding. We walked for a long time, but there were still mountains outside the car window. When we arrived, we saw a low blue-tiled house with firewood burning. The roof was blackened by smoke. The clothes of the two children were patched up. They were lying on the table doing their homework..."
Just as there are always places where the sun does not shine, no matter how wealthy a country is, there will always be people struggling to make ends meet. Jing Ling has been to many worlds, but has never encountered the so-called ideal country.
"So you have one more goal to strive for, not only to pursue gender equality, but also to make more people live a better life."
"...You know?" She had always thought that Jing Ling's support for her was simply respect for her wishes, and she never thought that he actually knew her true thoughts.
"Yes, I know."
"Do you... think my idea is ridiculous?"
"No. Yunshu, I told you that no matter what you want to do, you can do it with confidence. I will always be by your side, and you can see me when you turn around."
"You walked a long way on your way to the village today, right?" Jing Ling suddenly changed the subject.
Yunshu nodded, "Yeah."
As soon as she finished speaking, the person next to her took a step forward and squatted in front of her, "Come on, I'll carry you." After a pause, he comforted her, "It's late, you won't run into anyone you know."
Yunshu hesitated for a few seconds, walked over, put his arms around his neck over his shoulders, and leaned his body gently against him. The boy had a broad back. He put his hands through her knees, stood up steadily, and carried her on the deserted street.
The climate in the tea mountains in September is still pleasant, and the evening breeze blows towards you, bringing a hint of unknown floral fragrance.
There were no suitable dormitories provided by the government, and he didn't have time to look for an apartment, so Yunshu stayed in a hotel in the town for the past week.
After they reached the fork in the road and got on the national highway, she didn't let Jing Ling continue to carry her. After walking up the road for a few dozen meters, she arrived at the place. There was a cashier counter next to the door. A teenage girl was sitting there. When she saw her come back, she greeted her with a smile. Then she looked at Jing Ling next to her and said enviously, "My boyfriend is so handsome!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the handsome boy stretched out his hand and placed an ID card in front of her. "One room, next to Yunshu."
girl:"……"
Yun Shu: “…”
Finally, under the surprised gaze of the cashier girl, the two of them walked through the hotel corridor and turned up the stairs. For the first time since they started dating, Yunshu felt a little embarrassed, yet touched at the same time.
I quickly walked up the stairs to the third floor and arrived at her door. She swiped the room card to open the door, and stood by the door, hesitating for a few seconds before she mustered up the courage to look up and say to Jing Ling, "It's actually okay..."
Jing Ling reached out and pulled her into his arms, his gentle voice ringing in his ears, "Yun Shu, we still have a long life ahead of us." He said, and kissed her hair, "I like you."
