96. The promise made while slurping noodles
After Su Xiaoshan left, Xiao Cheng asked, "Xu Wenqiang, is there anything Su Xiaoshan hasn't finished saying?"
Xu Wenqiang said nothing.
Xiao Cheng asked again, "Where does his words make sense?"
Xu Wenqiang looked at him but still said nothing.
Xiao Cheng paused, "Why, do you want to part ways with me?"
Xu Wenqiang also stopped and looked at Xiao Cheng in front of him helplessly. No wonder Su Xiaoshan was a little annoyed. How much did Xiao Cheng hear in the back?
"Xiao Cheng, where did you start eavesdropping?" Xu Wenqiang asked.
"Eavesdropping?" Xiao Cheng stepped back, a look of disapproval on his face. "I was just looking for a suitable opportunity to say hello to you, and I accidentally overheard a few words."
"Accidentally?" Xu Wenqiang glanced at Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng's expression remained unchanged. "I don't really want to hear it anyway."
Xu Wenqiang was too lazy to argue with Xiao Cheng, but Xiao Cheng didn't give up. "Xu Wenqiang, do you really want to part ways with me?"
Xu Wenqiang looked at Xiao Cheng, wanting to say something but stopping herself, and finally said, "Xiao Cheng, let's go home first."
"go home?"
"Let's talk about it when we get home."
go home--
Xiao Cheng had originally thought that if Xu Wenqiang showed any sign of wanting to "part ways" with him, then no one would sleep tonight. However, he never expected that he would be bought off by the word "go home".
"Then let's go home first." Xiao Cheng was satisfied.
If you have anything to say, go home and talk about it - this is no longer a matter of childhood sweethearts who can interfere and muddy the waters.
Xu Wenqiang didn't say a word along the way.
After returning home, she and Xiao Cheng went back to their rooms first.
After Xu Wenqiang returned to her room, she put down her schoolbag, took off her coat, and sat on the bed without moving. The door of the room was only ajar, and she could hear Xiao Cheng walking around in the living room.
He was obviously waiting for her, but he didn't say anything. He just walked around the living room casually, and then made some noise from time to time... to remind Xu Wenqiang that you can hide, but you can't escape.
Xu Wenqiang had no choice but to go out.
Xiao Cheng saw Xu Wenqiang walk out of the room and handed her a glass of water. "Would you like some water?"
"Thank you." Xu Wenqiang took the cup of water and took a sip. It was neither hot nor cold, just right. It was prepared for her by Xiao Cheng.
Xu Wenqiang looked at Xiao Cheng. How could she bear to part ways with such a person?
But Su Xiaoshan's words certainly made sense. She and Xiao Cheng were just classmates at school, and things were pretty peaceful. If they left the campus, Xiao Cheng would be surrounded by the sea of stars and alpine grasslands, while behind her was only a barren wasteland.
It was already late at night, the perfect time to be honest and open-hearted. But...
Xiao Cheng was already walking towards Xu Wenqiang.
Xu Wenqiang panicked. Looking at Xiao Cheng getting closer and closer, her heart beat so fast that it was a little embarrassing.
But, "Xiao Cheng, I'm hungry." Xu Wenqiang said with a wry smile.
Late at night when everyone is asleep is also the time when you are most likely to feel hungry.
Xiao Cheng, who had already walked in front of Xu Wenqiang, asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Yeah." Xu Wenqiang nodded, "I'm really hungry."
Xiao Cheng then walked towards the kitchen again, "What else is in the refrigerator?"
"Don't light the fire in the middle of the night. I'll just make a pack of instant noodles with hot water." Xu Wenqiang said behind him.
"It's better to cook than to eat instant noodles in the middle of the night." Xiao Cheng opened the refrigerator door. There were eggs and some vegetables inside. He leaned over and took out noodles from the cupboard. "I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
"I can do it myself." Xu Wenqiang approached Xiao Cheng and wanted to take the ingredients in his hand, but Xiao Cheng stepped back, so Xu Wenqiang pressed in front of Xiao Cheng.
Xiao Cheng looked down at Xu Wenqiang, who was only a few centimeters from his chest. This wasn't the first time she'd been this close to him. On the basketball court, he'd even pulled her into his arms once, but at that time, she was completely focused on the game, with only basketball in her sight, so even if he was distracted, he couldn't do anything about it.
But at this moment, in the small kitchen, there were only him and her. He had long been distracted, but was she still focused?
"Xu Wenqiang." Xiao Cheng called softly.
"Hmm." Xu Wenqiang stared at Xiao Cheng's chest in front of her, motionless. Her nose was filled with the smell of Xiao Cheng.
It seems like something is about to happen.
Xiao Cheng finally restrained himself. He took a step back and turned around. "Xu Wenqiang, go to the living room and wait for me. I'll serve this bowl of noodles."
Xu Wenqiang stared at Xiao Cheng's back without moving. She felt that if she didn't do something in this situation, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Before Xu Wenqiang could figure out what to do, Xiao Cheng was already staring at him helplessly. He turned around and spread his hands, "Xu Wenqiang, it's just a bowl of noodles..."
Xiao Cheng's words were interrupted by Xu Wenqiang's hug.
The moment Xiao Cheng turned around, Xu Wenqiang finally thought of what she could do. So she decisively opened her arms and hugged Xiao Cheng. Unfortunately, she was not good at hugging another person, so when she hugged Xiao Cheng, she also hugged Xiao Cheng's arms in her arms.
So, Xiao Cheng was tied up by Xu Wenqiang.
"Xu Wenqiang, I think this is not right for you." Xiao Cheng said after struggling slightly.
Xu Wenqiang was shocked and realized that she had done something stupid. Why did she even touch and hug him?
"This is definitely not right." Xu Wenqiang hurriedly let go of Xiao Cheng, not knowing where to put her hands and feet. She forced a smile and said, "I lost my mind..."
"That's the right thing to do."
Xiao Cheng's words fell into Xu Wenqiang's ears, but she didn't react. Xiao Cheng then took her hand, put it around his waist, and let her hug him.
"Xu Wenqiang, your posture just now was not right. This posture is correct."
Xiao Cheng held Xu Wenqiang in his arms and whispered.
Xu Wenqiang was held in Xiao Cheng's arms. Xiao Cheng was steaming hot all over. She felt dizzy from being held by him. "What is right" and "what is wrong" were all mixed up in her mind.
Then, she heard Xiao Cheng ask her, "Xu Wenqiang, do you still want to part ways with me?"
"Part ways?" Xu Wenqiang asked back.
"Yes, didn't Su Xiaoshan ask you to part ways with me?" He was asked again, with anger and unwillingness.
Xu Wenqiang's mind finally cleared up. She thought, "He and she are already hugging each other, how could Xiao Cheng still not forget this?" It seemed that she had to say something from the heart.
"Xiao Cheng."
"Um."
A brief silence...
After that, you should be open-hearted and honest with each other.
However, a rumbling sound of hunger suddenly came from his mouth. So, he could only change the words to, "Xiao Cheng, I'm hungry."
"Eat it." Xiao Cheng brought the noodles to Xu Wenqiang with an expressionless face.
A bowl of clear soup noodles with vegetables and poached eggs, and just the right amount of oil floating in the soup.
"It looks delicious." Xu Wenqiang said with a flattering smile while holding the chopsticks.
Xiao Cheng seemed not to hear and walked into the living room.
Xu Wenqiang didn't care about much else and decided to fill her stomach first.
Xiao Cheng listened to Xu Wenqiang slurping her noodles, then casually picked up the remote control from the coffee table and turned on the TV. He tuned to the news channel and listened casually, thinking, Xu Wenqiang must be really hungry. He should cook her more noodles...
"Xiao Cheng, I will not part ways with you."
Suddenly, he heard Xu Wenqiang's promise while slurping noodles.
"Unless you part ways with me first, I will follow you all the way to the end."
After making another promise, Xu Wenqiang went to eat noodles again.
In front of Xiao Cheng was a news anchor sitting upright, his ears filled with the clear and melodious news reports, but in his mind, all that remained was the sound of the noodles slurping...
