Floating to your side (22)

Shen Tang's face turned red instantly. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Wen Ting, who should have been cool to the touch, seemed hot to her.

She lowered her eyes and deliberately avoided the burning gaze of the person in front of her. "If you don't say that, I can pretend I didn't hear it."

"No, I want to say that I wanted to kiss you every day when I was lying next to you. When you didn't notice, I had already secretly kissed you seven or eight times." Wen Ting seemed to have opened up his mouth. No matter how Shen Tang glared at him, he did not show any guilt. Instead, he continued to say a lot of words with a thick face that made Shen Tang want to hide in the ground after hearing them.

What's wrong with this guy? Why is his mind filled with only yellow plastic?

Shen Tang blushed and forced the phone in front of him, as if he couldn't see the other person. Although Wen Ting was shamelessly saying dirty words, he didn't do anything more outrageous after kissing the girl lightly. He couldn't help laughing happily when he saw Shen Tang blushing.

"I'm telling you, if you say something like that again, I'll throw that stone into the trash can outside and you won't be able to find it again!" Shen Tang crawled out from under the quilt in anger and waved his cell phone in the direction of Wen Ting a few times. Although he couldn't hit that guy, at least he could vent his anger.

"Okay, then I won't do it this way next time, okay?" Wen Ting finally gave Shen Tang a seat and blinked wildly to signal her to go back to the quilt. He then pretended to lie down beside her and closed his eyes.

After confirming again and again that Wen Ting was no longer causing trouble, Shen Tang rubbed his arms, lay back under the quilt and started looking at his phone.

Messages on the phone kept popping up. Shen Tang took a look at the message that the camping leader had posted in the painting club group. The message said that several schools had jointly selected the best paintings, and the painting that Liu Ling had posted in the club was selected. Soon, a lot of congratulatory comments appeared in the group, and Shen Tang also typed in her congratulations. Unexpectedly, someone soon tagged her.

A boy in the club saw that she was still online in the middle of the night, so he sent her a message asking if she wanted to attend Liu Ling's celebration party. Shen Tang thought about it, secretly glanced at Wen Ting who was sleeping beside her, and typed a message to reject the other party's invitation.

If Liu Ling meets Wen Ting, it will be troublesome if there is any conflict between these two guys.

But just as she sent a rejection message, Liu Ling sent her another message in the small window.

"Xiaotang, I want to apologize for what happened last time. It's all my fault for being too curious about your affairs. I didn't mean to take your jade. This time I sincerely want to invite you to my celebration party. If you don't mind, you can bring that ghost with you. I won't do anything else."

Liu Ling's profile picture kept popping up messages, and the words between the lines all expressed the hope that Shen Tang would give her a chance to make up for her mistake. Shen Tang looked at the crazy jumping profile picture and pursed her lips gently. Since the other party was so eager for her to bring Wen Ting to participate, it would not be good for her not to go. After all, the other party was the heroine of this world.

After thinking it over, she typed a reply.

"All right."

After replying to the message, Shen Tang gently put his phone aside. He covered himself with the quilt and glanced at Wen Ting again.

It would be nice if it really was him.

As Shen Tang thought about it, his eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, and soon he fell into a deep sleep. Wen Ting, who had been dozing off beside Shen Tang, heard the girl's even breathing, then he opened his eyes again, turned sideways, and looked at Shen Tang intently.

He stretched out a hand and gently stroked Shen Tang's face, his movements were gentle, his tone was gentle but regretful, "I wish I could stay by your side forever."

Feeling that Shen Tang shrank due to the coldness of his fingertips, the young man sighed, withdrew his hand unnoticeably, and fell asleep slowly after a long time.

Shen Tang slept particularly deeply this time. She didn't know if it was because Wen Ting had been teasing her for a while, but the quilt seemed more attractive than before.

"Good morning," a clear voice came from Shen Tang's ears, which completely woke up the hazy-eyed Shen Tang.

She got up from the bed and looked towards the source of the sound with caution. The morning sunlight shone on the boy's face, making his features particularly clear. Shen Tang could even see the fine hairs on his cheeks and his sparkling eyes. The only difference from ordinary people was that the boy did not leave any shadows where the sunlight fell.

"Why are you still here?" Shen Tang swallowed subconsciously and glanced away quickly. She soon recalled the message she replied to yesterday and hurriedly looked for her cell phone.

"What time is it now!" She muttered to herself as she took out her cell phone to check the time. There was less than an hour left before everyone was going to hold a celebration party for Liu Ling. Shen Tang patted her head and quickly got up to wash up. After all, she had agreed to Liu Ling's request, so she naturally couldn't be late.

Wen Ting looked at her in a hurry and asked in confusion, "Why are you in such a hurry to go out today? Are you going to the ancient temple to recall your past lives?"

Shen Tang glared at him indifferently: "No, Liu Ling's work won an award, and I promised to attend her celebration party."

"Why did you go to see her? I told you that she has bad intentions towards you and me, why don't you believe it?" Wen Ting raised his eyebrows and was a little angry, but seeing that Shen Tang had made up his mind to go, he could only tut in dissatisfaction, "Forget it, you must take me with you when you go, otherwise I will stop you from leaving the house!"

Shen Tang took out an inconspicuous long-sleeved shirt from the closet and went into the bathroom to change. "Okay, okay, I'll take you there." She didn't intend to let Wen Ting stay in this rental house. If the same thing happened last time, she would have to make another trip, which she didn't want.

Shen Tang quickly adjusted his clothes and looked at the girl in the mirror. Although the girl looked a little gloomy with her short black hair and pale skin, she looked lively due to Shen Tang's expression.

"Are we going to leave?" Wen Ting suddenly appeared at the door, and he had already put the jade into Shen Tang's pocket, and he also put the silver bracelet that the ghost baby left for Shen Tang on Shen Tang's hand. According to Wen Ting, the things that the child left for Shen Tang before reincarnation must not be bad things, and carrying them with him can also be used as a talisman for self-defense, so Shen Tang agreed to wear the bracelet on his wrist.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and don't block the way!"

After chatting and talking, they left the rental house. Shen Tang looked at the address on her phone. It was a store with a personal decoration style. It was said that it was opened by a relative of Liu Ling. It usually specializes in food. As the winner of the work, she can naturally choose where to hold the celebration banquet. Some people in the club had already arrived at the store early. Shen Tang estimated that it would take less than half an hour to get there by taxi, so he quickly replied to the message in the group.

She put the jade in her pocket and went out. Not long after, she got a car. According to the address provided by Liu Ling, the driver stepped on the accelerator and took her to the place. Wen Ting sat obediently in the seat next to her, and adjusted his clothes from time to time, which made Shen Tang speechless.

He was not the host of the celebration banquet and no one could see him, so what was the point of him tidying up his clothes?

Wen Ting saw the silence in Shen Tang's eyes, raised his head and said, "You don't understand, a guest is a guest. I'm going to accompany you to attend the event, so of course I have to dress neatly to attend the event!"

Shen Tang smiled twice and said nothing more. He just watched the driver's route on his phone gradually approaching the store Liu Ling mentioned.

"Girl, this shop is so remote, why did you gather here?" the driver asked in confusion while driving. "From what I remember, this shop's sign is not very famous. How did you find a place like this?"

"The school is holding a celebration party for someone, and they want to gather here, so everyone just follows along. Is there anything wrong with that?" Shen Tang raised his eyebrows in surprise, with a vague bad feeling in his heart, but the driver just laughed dryly after hearing this, and without saying anything else, he continued to send everyone to their destination.

The car stopped at a street corner, and after getting off, Shen Tang finally understood why the driver asked her that. The location of this store was not good, sandwiched between shops of all sizes. Logically, there were more famous shops next to it, but Liu Ling chose this one.

The girl stood at the door of the store and looked around. Wen Ting, who was following beside her, also noticed something was wrong. "Is this the gathering place you mentioned?"

Shen Tang nodded: "The address they sent is right here. Look, there are people in the photo."

As she spoke, she pointed at the boy in the photo with Liu Ling and compared it with the store in front of her. The background was the same.

"Don't go." Wen Ting stretched out his arm and grabbed Shen Tang's arm, his face gradually showing a solemn expression, "This place is not good."

Before Shen Tang could ask why, Wen Ting pulled her back a few steps, as if he was unwilling to let Shen Tang enter the store.

"What's wrong with this store? Is there still Ah Piao here?" Shen Tang turned and looked at Wen Ting.

"What are you still doing here? Come in quickly!" A deep voice came out as the door of the store opened, and the wind chimes hanging in front of the door began to ring uncontrollably. "You must be the friends Xiaoling mentioned. She was able to win the award this time with your help. Come in quickly and sit down. I'll prepare some food for you."

The owner of the voice was an old man in his sixties or seventies. Shen Tang felt that his face looked familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen him before.

"Mu Tang, we are here, come in!" Several familiar club members inside the door started to call out to her. Shen Tang, who had been hesitating, finally let go and walked towards the store. She stopped when she reached the door.

"you?"
