Chapter 121: What kind of friend should I be?
Xu Jiangcuo didn't respond to her, but just asked her: "Is it delicious?"
"Delicious." Song Lehan ate another piece and savored it carefully. "The meat is very tender, soft, and delicious when chewed."
Seeing her satisfied look, Xu Jiangcuo also felt satisfied.
He moved the cup of sweet talk in front of himself, pushed his glass of lemonade in front of Song Lehan, and told her: "You drink my glass, it's clean, I didn't touch it."
Clean...
Xu Jiangcuo emphasized this specifically.
Song Lehan swallowed the meat in his mouth, stared at the glass of lemonade, then looked at Xu Jiangcuo, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Why are you avoiding me again now?"
"I'm not trying to avoid you, I'm just afraid you won't want to drink." Xu Jiangcuo explained, "These days, you've been trying to stay away from me. If I give you something I've already drunk, won't you just ignore me?"
Song Lehan picked up the lemonade and took a sip in front of Xu Jiangcuo, as if he was doing it on purpose to show him.
"It's not that I don't want to pay attention to you, it's just that this is a show and there are cameras. Every action of mine is likely to attract heated discussion."
Song Lehan said this very seriously, as this was a truth she knew very well.
"What about after the show? Are you still willing to be friends with me?" Xu Jiangcuo put down his knife and fork, and his tone suddenly became serious.
Song Lehan: "Of course you can after the show."
"Liar." Xu Jiangcuo interrupted her and sighed softly, his tone a bit sarcastic. "I don't know who told me not to contact her anymore."
"That's also..."
Song Lehan wanted to find an excuse, but she did say that, so she gave up.
The key point was that Xu Jiangcuo didn't want her to get away with it like this, so he asked again: "Can't we really be friends?"
"What kind of friend?" Song Lehan asked.
Xu Jiangcuo's eyes lit up with hope. "Just... we have contact information, so we can chat from time to time, and then go out for dinner every few days."
Song Lehan curled the corners of his lips and said jokingly, "Your requirements are a bit high."
"Is it high?" Xu Jiangcuo raised an eyebrow. "I think it's just right."
Song Lehan smiled and shook his head, without saying anything else, and finished all the food on the plate.
Xu Jiangcuo wanted to continue speaking, but he held back.
It is better to talk less while eating.
Not long after, Song Lehan finished eating first.
Putting down her knife and fork, she took a sip of lemonade and continued what Xu Jiangcuo had just said.
"Xu Jiangcuo, we can be good friends. The premise is that we don't disturb each other's lives."
Song Lehan's words made Xu Jiangcuo raise his head.
He couldn't believe it: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yeah." Song Lehan nodded gently and continued, "We can add each other's contact information, or we can make a dinner appointment like we are now, but it must not be just the two of us."
After a pause, she added, "Also, don't ask about my privacy or interfere in my affairs unless I tell you. Similarly, I won't ask about your privacy or interfere in anything you do."
"From now on, if you get a girlfriend or I get a boyfriend, then we really shouldn't contact each other anymore."
"Is this acceptable to you?"
Xu Jiangcuo remained silent and did not dare to answer immediately.
Once the decision is made, they may remain friends forever.
But if they don't agree, then they can't even be friends.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Jiangcuo finally agreed.
"Okay, we're still friends."
As long as he can stay by her side, Xu Jiangcuo is willing to be with her as a friend for the rest of his life.
Anyway, he won't like anyone else except Song Lehan.
After dinner, Song Lehan prepared to take a walk on the shore.
She wanted to lie down in the chair and take a nap for a few minutes.
Xu Jiangcuo and Song Lehan kept half a step away from each other, not daring to get too close. When they reached the river, they realized that this was not a beach.
A river is not the sea.
The shore is surrounded by guardrails and a plank road is paved around it. If you want to see the river up close, you need to walk up a long staircase.
The two walked down the stairs and found two empty lounge chairs.
Song Lehan and Xu Jiangcuo each lay on the bed, a parasol hanging overhead to block the scorching sun. Close to the river, a cool breeze blew over from time to time, making it very comfortable.
Song Lehan wasn’t that sleepy yet, having just finished eating.
On the shore, in addition to people lying down to rest like them, there were also people fishing with fishing rods, taking pictures, and children running around chasing each other.
A full of vitality.
Song Lehan leaned back in his chair, relaxed, listening to the chaotic sounds, feeling a rare sense of comfort in his heart.
"Someone fell into the river!"
A cry of surprise pierced the sky.
Song Lehan immediately stood up from his chair, and Xu Jiangcuo also sat up, looking at the shore in confusion.
The two looked at each other and rushed over at the same time.
"Help! Can someone please save my son?"
On the shore, a mother was crying for help.
Song Lehan glanced at the struggling child in the river. He was too young, probably only three or four years old. After assessing her own abilities, she jumped into the river without hesitation.
She had learned to swim, and she rescued the drowning child in no time.
She pulled him towards the shore.
Xu Jiangcuo was so frightened by her sudden jump that his heart almost jumped out.
There was absolutely no warning.
Didn't she know he could swim too!
Xu Jiangcuo estimated the direction Song Lehan was swimming and ran over quickly, ready to catch her as soon as possible.
When they were about to reach the shore, Song Lehan felt that her hands were weak. She gritted her teeth and managed to send the child to the shore.
"Come! Give it to me!" Xu Jiangcuo leaned over and tried hard to reach the child.
Just a little bit.
Song Lehan moved forward again and stepped on something hard. With a little force, he pushed himself up and the child was successfully caught by Xu Jiangcuo.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Jiangcuo turned around and returned the child to the crying mother. The next second, he immediately turned around, stretched out his hand, and called to Song Lehan: "Hold my hand and come up!"
Song Lehan used his last bit of strength to tightly hold Xu Jiangcuo's hand.
After the people around him reacted, they also came over to help Xu Jiangcuo pull people out.
However, halfway through, Song Lehan couldn't move.
Her foot was entangled in something.
It should be water plants.
Song Lehan looked up and shouted, "My feet are tangled in water plants!"
Xu Jiangcuo continued to exert force, but Song Lehan couldn't move at all.
"What's going on?" a foreign friend asked.
Xu Jiangcuo immediately said, "Her feet are tangled in water plants. What should we do?" (English)
"Hurry up and find someone to help her clear the water weeds. Otherwise, she'll definitely lose her strength if she keeps hanging like this."
Xu Jiangcuo: "Please help me save her. I'll go down and clear the water plants!" (English)
After saying that, he jumped down.
