Chapter 62 Snow

When is the best time to let yourself go? Definitely after the college entrance examination!

All those years of sorrow suddenly unfolded, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, eager to run across all the grasslands in the world, or like a bird flying freely and unrestrained.

Lin Shuliang vividly demonstrated what it meant to run at full speed. She left home early and came back late for several nights. She refused to change despite being scolded by her parents many times. Later, she even went to a bar and was locked up at home by Cheng Lin.

She begged Shen Xinghe to lend a helping hand and lay on the windowsill, just to wait for him to look back.

Because her cell phone was taken away, she has no way of connecting to the outside world. She is now a pitiful isolated person.

Finally, when she was about to give up waiting, Shen Xinghe poked his head out, and she waved vigorously, "Xinghe, come to my house and play!"

This is like the ancient people who worked in special industries standing on the street and saying, "Master, come and play~"

She even made some faces and it was really vivid.

Shen Xinghe got goosebumps all over his body, "Sorry, I'm busy."

"Wait..." Lin Shuliang was afraid that he would close the window, so she quickly stopped him, "Let's make a deal."

"You say."

"What do you want most? Or do you have any wishes or something like that?"

He smiled, became interested, moved his stool over and sat down, and said with interest, "Tell me your conditions first."

"I want to leave home, and then... I'll tell you later." They spoke quite loudly. What if there were ears on the other side of the wall and they knew where she was going?

Shen Xinghe nodded, "Okay, I can help you, but there are conditions. First, I want to go with you; second, you have to agree to one of my requests, but I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I do."

"..." Lin Shuliang rolled her eyes almost to the sky, "What are you trying to do? What if you ask me to do something messy?"

"I promise you can do it."

"No." She thought again and again, "I am too unlucky!"

Shen Xinghe raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Well, even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have a friendship. I wish you good luck."

He had already stood up to collect the stool, and Lin Shuliang immediately compromised, "Okay, okay, I agree!"

"Wait a minute, I'll record it." Shen Xinghe took out his mobile phone, repeated the question, and then asked Lin Shuliang to answer. He listened to it twice and was relieved when he was sure that there was no problem.

His series of actions stunned Lin Shuliang, "Do you really need to do this? We have been revolutionary friends for so many years."

"Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Besides, it's not the first or second time that you've changed your mind. It's better to be prepared."

"Stop talking nonsense and come to rescue me quickly." Lin Shuliang waved her hand and closed the window.

She changed her clothes and went out, sitting on the sofa obediently, not leaving the door for a quarter of an hour.

How could Cheng Lin not know what she was thinking? "Lin Shuliang, you're almost seeing a hole in the door."

"Mom, you are so naughty. Our door is so strong... Knock on the door, I'll go open it." As she spoke, she heard a knock on the door and ran over quickly.

Shen Xinghe stood at the door, holding a bunch of fruits in his hands. "Auntie, these are brought by my dad's partner. He said they are special products. There are too many, so my dad asked me to bring some over."

Cheng Lin really likes Shen Xinghe. "Xinghe, please come in. Your dad is always so polite."

Shen Xinghe sat for a while, looked at Lin Shuliang and said, "Why haven't you packed yet?"

Lin Shuliang looked confused.

"Didn't you say you were going to have a get-together with your junior high school classmates? I mentioned it in the group yesterday, but you're not going?"

Lin Shuliang reacted and said awkwardly: "I want to go too, but..."

She looked at her mother aggrievedly.

Cheng Lin said, "You don't know, this girl has been coming home very late every day for the past three days since the college entrance examination. She even came home at 12 o'clock yesterday. That's too much! I don't allow her to go out."

So that's why I can't go out. I was also wondering why I didn't see her in the past few days. It turns out she went out to have fun somewhere else.

"Is that so? Then I will tell them about your situation." Shen Xinghe smiled on his face, but sneered in his heart: I let you go out and play.

Lin Shuliang hinted at him crazily, but he seemed to be unable to receive any signals. It was unclear whether he was playing dumb or using a roundabout strategy.

Well, it seems that he is doing the opposite. Just as he was about to leave, Cheng Lin finally spoke, "Forget it, go if you want. But Xinghe, you have to come back early. These days are not peaceful and it is not safe outside."

Shen Xinghe repeatedly assured that he would bring her back safely.

Lin Shuliang was finally able to go out. As soon as she stepped outside, she felt "freedom still smells good."

Shen Xinghe didn't answer.

She said, "Thank you! My mother really fell for your trick. If you try to persuade her with kind words, it might just backfire."

He said with a fake smile: "None of my tricks are effective. I originally thought it would be best if you couldn't get out."

"Why? We are allies!"

"Because you went out to play without telling me." Shen Xinghe said seriously.

Lin Shuliang frowned, first shocked, then burst into laughter, "Shen Xinghe, how could you say such childish things, hahahaha... I went out to play behind your back, it's so funny."

He also realized that there was something wrong with this sentence, so he lowered his head and walked ahead.

Before Lin Shuliang came out, she specifically asked her mother to return her phone. She said, "I went to the bar with them that day. The atmosphere was really great! I have lived for 18 years and have never been to such a fun place. I am such a failure. It seems that they said they will go again today. I will ask them."

"Why are you going to that kind of place?" Shen Xinghe said with a bit of disgust.

"Play~" Lin Shuliang replied, "You can also dance."

"Then I won't go." Shen Xinghe said.

Lin Shuliang raised her head. "Well, I don't think you would like that kind of place either. You can go back."

"..." He originally wanted Lin Shuliang to move to another place, but she actually agreed to let him go home! He took out a small notebook and wrote it down.

Lin Shuliang knew nothing and was still asking when they would leave. Seeing Shen Xinghe didn't move, she asked, "You're not leaving?"

"What if my aunt sees me when I get back?" he said.

"That's right." Lin Shuliang agreed, "She's the smartest one. What should we do?"

"I went with reluctance." He touched his nose.

Lin Shuliang thanked him, and after asking for a long time, she finally confirmed, "They called several boys, and I don't want to go. Just like the ones they called yesterday, they always chatted with me for no reason."

"Oh." Shen Xinghe said expressionlessly.

She thought of a street on Zhongshan Road with lots of food and a marquee, which she had never been to, so she said, "Since we're already out, it would be a shame if we don't go out and have some fun. Let's go to Zhongshan Road."

Zhongshan Road is the most prosperous area in Yuncheng. The place they are going to is an underground shopping mall, which is newly opened and became popular entirely because of the skylight.

The sky curtain changes every hour, accompanied by music, and is made according to the changes of the four seasons: the green of spring, the rain of summer, the maple leaves of autumn, and the most classic, the snow of winter.

Every time at the end of the season, it would "snow", which is actually just foam, but the whole street would look like it was snowing heavily, which is beautiful just thinking about it, so the flow of people there is overwhelming.

When they got there, there was still half an hour before the show ended, so they found a random milk tea shop and sat down to wait.

Lin Shuliang looked at the people coming and going, "The people working here must think that we who come here to watch are boring, because they are tired of seeing it."

"You're still here even though you knew that." A science guy like Shen Xinghe would not understand these romantic thoughts.

"Well, they are them, and I am me. I haven't seen it, so that's not okay."

Never argue with a girl. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose.

Shen Xinghe chose to remain silent.

Lin Shuliang looked at the time and said, "There are only five minutes left. Let's go out."

"I want to go too?"

"How can I take pictures if I don't go? Your phone takes great pictures, so you are responsible for taking pictures for me."

Although Shen Xinghe refused in his heart, he still walked honestly and followed her obediently.

Everyone came at a good time, and the crowd began to gather. The security guard held a loudspeaker and shouted, "Be careful and take pictures in a civilized manner!" He kept repeating it.

Lin Shuliang was squeezed to the point where she was no longer recognizable. Shen Xinghe couldn't bear to see her being squeezed into a small size, so he went to protect her, "You can't squeeze others, come again."

There was a lot of noise and she didn't hear anything.

The sky lit up, music started playing, and many people took out their phones to take pictures. Lin Shuliang said, "It doesn't matter what happens in front of me, I must take pictures of the snow."

Shen Xinghe didn't know what she said, he just nodded.

In the summer, colorful bubbles would appear. Many people would scream. It was already autumn. Lin Shuliang tiptoed close to Shen Xinghe's ear and said, "It's almost here. Get ready."

"Huh?" The music, screams and voices were mixed together and he couldn't hear clearly.

Lin Shuliang pulled him over and he lowered his head slightly. Lin Shuliang moved closer again and was about to speak when she was squeezed by the person next to her. Her balance was unstable and she leaned towards Shen Xinghe.

As luck would have it, her lips were imprinted on Shen Xinghe's face.

The world became very quiet at that moment, as if there were only the two of them, and even breathing and heartbeats had stopped.

"It's snowing, it's snowing..." someone exclaimed.

The sky was full of "white snow", and with the lights and the crowds, it was simply a beautiful scene. Some of the "snow" was illuminated by the lights and shimmered.

Lin Shuliang quickly withdrew, her whole body frozen, unable to move.

Shen Xinghe wasn't much better off. The area of ​​skin she touched became abnormally hot, and the heat spread to his entire body...

"Let me take a picture for you." Shen Xinghe deliberately said loudly, and while there was still some "snow", he took a picture.

Lin Shuliang's face was red as blood. She didn't dare to look at the camera. She lowered her head, standing out in the crowd.

He held up his phone and took a picture of only one hand.

Time is frozen; the girl's shyness and the boy's youthful confusion are all contained in this photo. Every time I look at it, I have different feelings.

From then on, this photo became Shen Xinghe's wallpaper, and he used it for many years, even on his computer.

Later they took many photos, but he still liked this one. His explanation was: that was their first kiss.
