From an outsider's perspective, she can clearly and rationally advise Cong Wen to face his heart bravely and not miss out on a beautiful relationship. But why is it that when it comes to her, she is always trapped in that vicious circle and can't get out? In a sense, what is the difference between her and the hesitant Cong Wen?
Xia Qiu stood there in a daze, thinking of every little thing between her and Chen Musheng, guilt and regret welled up in her. Between the two of them, it seemed that Chen Musheng had always been the one approaching her, never concealing his feelings, while she was the one who wanted to retreat and escape whenever she encountered a problem.
She was afraid that there would be no result between them, but no matter what, she should give it a try, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it be too unfair to Chen Musheng and her to announce the result without trying?
"Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu!" Xu Hanhe saw her daughter was in a daze and asked in a louder voice.
"ah?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Xia Qiu stood up and walked out as if she remembered something, "Mom, I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
"Girl, why are you going out again?" Xu Hanhe chased after her and was even more puzzled when she saw Xia Qiu riding a bike. "Where are you going? Why are you riding a bike?"
Xia Qiu rode her bicycle out of the house, "Going to town!" She was going to town to write a telegram back to Chen Musheng, telling him that she missed him too.
"What are you doing in town? This kid!"
Xu Hanhe was confused. This kid came home and ran out every day. There must be something wrong.
Xia Qiu rode her bicycle towards the town. Although the road was blocked by snow and the cold wind was biting, her heart was extremely hot and full of anticipation. She had figured it out completely. Instead of worrying about things that had not happened yet, it would be better to be free and decisive, focus on the present, and leave no regrets.
As the great man said, ten thousand years is too long, we must seize the day.
Xia Qiu went all the way to the town. There were not many people on the road, and most of them were in a hurry. She didn't care about these and just wanted to get to the town quickly.
Until she heard a familiar voice.
"Xia Qiu!"
Xia Qiu was stunned. His consciousness was faster than his body. He slammed on the brakes, stopped the bicycle, turned his head in slow motion, and saw a familiar person.
Chen Musheng was wearing a suit and trousers inside, and the tie was the one she gave him. He was wearing a tweed coat outside. He was dressed very formally and was carrying a lot of bags in his hands. He had walked all the way from the town, and his shiny leather shoes were covered in mud. His eyes were surprisingly bright and full of surprise when he looked at her, and his usual calm and unperturbed expression was long gone.
Xia Qiu suddenly thought she was hallucinating. Otherwise, how could the person she was thinking about just now be in front of her in the blink of an eye? She didn't know how she came to her senses, but when she reacted, she was already standing in front of Chen Musheng.
"Why are you here?" Xia Qiu asked in disbelief.
"Didn't I tell you? I missed you." Chen Musheng smiled, his warmth almost melting the snow. "I was afraid you wouldn't come back, so I came here in person."
Hearing this, Xia Qiu felt a lump in his throat and almost burst into tears.
"Then... then there's no need for you to run so far here?" Looking at his slightly tired face, Xia Qiu felt a little distressed. She now understood how Brother Wen felt when he saw Chen Xiaoyu coming.
Both happy and sad.
"It's not far." Chen Musheng didn't feel tired. "It's worth it to see you."
Xia Qiu's eyes were moved, "You are really...really..." She was speechless, her heart was filled with emotion.
After a long while, she managed to utter, "Then why did you bring so many things?" She saw that he was carrying large and small bags of cigarettes, alcohol, candy, tea and other things. Although these might not mean much to him, the thought was very important.
Chen Musheng: "After all, this is my first visit and my first time meeting your parents. I can't come empty-handed, right?"
"Where are you going on your bike?"
"I'm not going anywhere, just walking around." Xia Qiu smiled. The person he wanted to see was already beside him.
"How about going back?" Chen Musheng looked at her bicycle. "I'll ride it, and you show me the way."
"Can you ride a bicycle?" Xia Qiu found it a little funny to think that someone who was used to driving a luxury car was condescending to ride a bicycle.
"You look down on me?" Chen Musheng smiled, holding the things in one hand and holding the handlebars of the bicycle with the other. "Get on the bike."
"Give me the things." Xia Qiu stretched out his hand.
"No, I'll hang it in front of here."
Chen Musheng tied the bag to the handlebars, took a long step, stepped onto the bicycle, and patted the backrest, "Come on."
"good."
Xia Qiu let out a breath and sat on the back seat of the bicycle.
Chen Musheng pedaled the bike. Perhaps it had been too long since he had ridden one, or perhaps the thing in front was too heavy. As the bike moved, the handlebars tilted. Xia Qiu was so scared that she grabbed his clothes instantly.
"Slow down."
"It's okay, don't worry." Chen Musheng smiled.
"Go straight ahead and turn right when you reach a fork in the road."
"good."
The bicycle was moving steadily on the road. Xia Qiu stretched out her hand, hesitated again and again, and finally gritted her teeth, made up her mind, put her arm around Chen Musheng's thin waist, and gently hugged him.
The car suddenly flashed again.
"I told you to slow down." Xia Qiu blushed and pretended to be calm.
"Okay." Chen Musheng chuckled, pulled Xia Qiu's other hand, let her fold her hands and hug him, and laughed so hard that his chest was shaking.
Xia Qiu also smiled, and with her palm pressed against the thin muscles of his abdomen, she felt her whole body getting hot, and sweetness surged in her heart.
Both of them clearly felt the subtle changes between them, as if a thin layer of barrier had been pierced, and everything cleared up and became bright.
Xia Qiu did not avoid people. Regardless of the surprised looks of many people along the way, she directly directed Chen Musheng to ride the bicycle into the village. Even if someone asked her who Chen Musheng was, she would directly and frankly introduce him as her boyfriend.
Chen Musheng's smile deepened and he felt happy.
Finally arriving at the gate of Xia's house, Chen Musheng stopped his bicycle and asked Xia Qiu, "Why don't you run away now?" He remembered that Xia Qiu was still a little evasive before he left, but now he has made a 180-degree turn.
"Because I've made up my mind." Xia Qiu smiled brightly, "I really like you, there's nothing to hide."
Her straightforward words made Chen Musheng stunned, his ears turned red, and his expression became a little unnatural.
"Are you shy?" Xia Qiu suddenly leaned in close to look at him, his eyes teasing, "You can still be shy?"
"Shy?" Chen Musheng sneered. He stretched out his long arm, pulled the person into his arms, leaned over, and kissed him.
Xia Qiu was stunned and his heart beat even faster.
