Did you ask what your name is?
"Wen Jing?" Chen Songyan, who was carrying a long sword, spoke first. "What a coincidence! Did you just get here?"
"Yes, we just arrived. Handsome boy, do you know Jingjing from our family?" Before Wen Jing could answer, Lin Mei next to him spoke first.
Wen Jing first smiled at Chen Songyan as a greeting, and explained to Aunt Lin: "He was my high school classmate."
"That's such a coincidence! Handsome boy, did you know there would be a flaming sword show tonight? It's such a shame that my two kids didn't get to see it!"
Chen Songyan frowned and looked at Wen Jing: "Didn't you see anything?"
Wen Jing nodded.
"Wait a minute." Chen Songyan only said this, carrying the long sword that was almost as tall as him and retreating a little, shouting as he retreated, "Please make way!"
Soon, the crowd dispersed to form a wide space. Chen Songyan stood in the middle, took down the knife, fiddled with it for a while, added something to it, stood up and shouted: "Everyone, watch! This is the last flame knife show tonight!"
The crowd immediately became excited, and Wen Jing saw Chen Songyan looking at her from a distance.
The next second, he held the long sword horizontally in front of him, holding the scabbard and the handle in his hands respectively, and pulled it outward. Flames suddenly jumped out of the blade, illuminating the handsome face that was originally hidden in the darkness. The crowd exclaimed, and Wen Jing heard someone next to her exclaim "So handsome".
The scabbard was too long. When Chen Songyan pulled it halfway, he suddenly kicked the scabbard open. He raised his hand and slashed the sword, and long flames flew. As he moved, one circle of fire after another was ignited around him, hot and brilliant.
Wen Jing thought of the sword flower performance by Chen Songyan at the last cos party and felt that Zhou Meng had misunderstood him because he didn't use any of his strength at all.
The flame knife's firepower has limited sustainability. After performing a few rounds of vigorous movements, the flame became much smaller. Chen Songyan used the last bit of flame to create a few beautiful sword flowers to end the performance.
The crowd burst into warm applause. He put away the knife, patted his body, and walked towards Wen Jing with the knife on his shoulder.
"How is it? Did you see it this time?" Chen Songyan, who was still in an excited state, asked her breathlessly, but he saw that the two people, one big and one small, in front of him were staring at him blankly, as if they had lost their souls.
"Jingjing, your classmate is talking to you!" Lin Mei pushed Wen Jing, who was staring at the handsome little boy, and thought to herself that their Wen family was really...
Wen Jing woke up as if from a dream, took a deep breath, and then said: "You are amazing!"
My heart was beating fast and my face was hot.
Wen Jing kept explaining in her mind that this was a normal reaction people would have when seeing a wonderful performance, and it was nothing to be surprised about.
"Brother, you are so handsome!" Shen Hongyu next to her said what was in Wen Jing's heart. Wen Jing glanced at him and saw his face full of stars. She thought to herself, see, this is human nature.
Chen Songyan felt embarrassed at this moment and asked Wen Jing if this was her brother.
Wen Jing nodded, and then he squatted down in front of Shen Hongyu: "Do you want to touch my brother's knife?"
Shen Hongyu nodded immediately and looked at Wen Jing: "Sister, can I touch it?"
"You can touch it, as long as he agrees."
Shen Hongyu stretched out his hand cautiously, and Chen Songyan pushed the knife directly into his arms, asked him to hold it tightly, and then let go.
"Ugh... it's so heavy!" Shen Hongyu took a step back while holding her, but he didn't let go. He looked at Wen Jing excitedly, "Sister, you try it too."
Chen Songyan squatted and looked up at Wen Jing. It was the first time that Wen Jing saw him from this perspective. She was surprised to find that his eyelashes were naturally curled. Although not long, they were very dense.
"Sister?" Shen Hongyu called her again.
Wen Jing came back to her senses immediately, said "oh" and took the knife from his arms with one hand, but it almost slipped out of her hand. Fortunately, Chen Songyan was quick to catch it.
"So heavy?" Wen Jing realized it belatedly.
Chen Songyan chuckled and said, "It's so long, of course it's heavy."
This knife was much taller than Wen Jing. She recalled how she had just caught the knife with one hand and felt a little embarrassed. Why was she staring at someone's eyelashes for no reason?
"The bonfire party is about to start. Do you want to join? I'll take you there!" Chen Songyan suddenly said.
Wen Jing looked at the big knife in his hand and asked: "Carry this?"
"Wait me a moment".
Chen Songyan said this and turned around and ran towards an uncle not far away, handed the knife to him, and ran back.
"Actually, my uncle looks even cooler when using a flame sword. He uses two swords and his technique is more proficient than mine. I learned it all from him. It's a pity that you came too late and didn't see it," he said.
That’s not necessarily the case, Wen Jing thought.
But he repeated his words: "It's quite a pity."
"If you come again next time, you can come earlier. The flaming sword show usually starts at 7pm."
"So do you follow me every day?" Wen Jing asked him.
"No, not really. Usually it's my uncle and his apprentice. I'm here to help out today because his apprentice took a leave of absence for something."
Oh, then she has no regrets.
"That's really a pity." Wen Jing replied to him without much sincerity.
"It's okay, the bonfire party is more fun." Chen Songyan actually comforted her. "Many tourists come here just for the bonfire party. A group of strangers dance around, and you can hold anyone's hand."
They were talking as they rushed to the bonfire party. Perhaps he really wanted to comfort them, so Chen Songyan said a lot along the way. He talked vividly about how to play at the party and other projects in the scenic area. Wen Jing didn't even need to answer. There was a little fan next to him who responded to him from time to time, which made him talk even more happily.
Wen Jing felt quite comfortable listening to this.
Halfway through the journey, someone suddenly called Chen Songyan's name. Wen Jing looked over and saw the girl who had worn couple outfits with Chen Songyan when she first met him in the first year of high school.
"I'll be over there for a moment." Chen Songyan said this to them and ran over without stopping.
The excitement of the whole night dropped to freezing point at this moment. Wen Jing withdrew her gaze and her eyes became colder.
I almost forgot that this person is a puppy lover.
"Sister, shouldn't we wait for brother?" Shen Hongyu asked her.
"No need, it's not like he can't find it. He'll be there soon anyway." Wen Jing pretended not to see the disappointment in his eyes.
This brat, after just meeting him for a while, seems to have been completely captivated by Chen Songyan.
"There are many brothers, so this one is not a big deal. I will find a better one for you later," she said.
Shen Hongyu asked dejectedly, "Where can I find it?"
"It's at the bonfire party! Later, whichever brother you find is the most handsome and pleasing to the eye, go and dance with him."
Chen Songyan looked back while running, and saw Wen Jing and the others moving forward without stopping, and frowned slightly.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Why are you looking back every few steps?" Chen Songxue folded his hands and stared at his adopted brother leisurely.
Chen Songyan did not answer the question, but asked her: "Sister, did you watch my performance tonight?"
"Who's watching? You play at home every day, I'm tired of watching you, okay?"
"I clearly saw you."
"It's a hallucination." Chen Songxue lied calmly and changed the subject. "By the way, your classmate looks pretty cute. Do you like her?"
Chen Songyan naturally knew that she was deliberately changing the subject again, but he still got angry when he heard this: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? We are just ordinary classmates!"
"Then wasn't the guy who came to see you yesterday also your classmate? Why didn't you seem so enthusiastic? I just walked past you guys, and you didn't even look at me. You were grinning like crazy, and I called you three times before you heard me."
Chen Songyan thought her sister was exaggerating: "How is that possible? It was clearly just too noisy on the road! Besides, Wen Jing is different from the female classmate from yesterday. That one had other intentions."
"Hey, did I ask you what her name was?"
"Sister!" Chen Songyan felt that her sister was unreasonable.
"Alright," Chen Songxue glanced at him, "Look at you, you're so anxious! Besides, how do you know she doesn't have any feelings for you? I just saw her staring at you."
"You're getting more and more ridiculous! Wen Jing...my classmate is not that kind of person. Besides, even if anyone could be that way, she wouldn't."
Chen Songxue tilted his head and looked at him: "When did my brother become so unconfident?"
Chen Songyan couldn't convince her, so he said, "I just want to tell you that if you're in a hurry tonight, you can leave first. You don't have to wait for me. I'm going to accompany my classmates."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away without waiting for Chen Songxue to answer.
When Wen Jing and the others arrived at the party square, the center of the bonfire was already surrounded by people, four layers deep. The broadcast was saying that the party would start in three minutes, and everyone was asked to find a seat as soon as possible.
"Oh, how can I dance with so many people pushing me?" Lin Mei wanted to retreat when she saw this, especially when these people began to sway and push out.
Although Wen Jing also had this idea, she felt that since she was already here, she couldn't just go back. She stared at the crowd, trying to see where she could squeeze in.
However, as three minutes passed, the music started, and the crowd began to sway and spin, they still hadn't found a chance to get in.
"How about we go out first..."
"Brother!" Shen Hongyu's excited voice interrupted Wen Jing's proposal. She turned around and saw Chen Songyan returning.
"Why didn't you go in?" he asked.
"You can't get in!" Lin Mei shouted back at him.
Chen Songyan took Shen Hongyu's hand and looked at Wen Jing: "Hold Aunt Lin and your brother's hands, and I will lead you in."
It was noisy at the moment, and Wen Jing didn't have time to think too much and had to do as she was told. Chen Songyan pulled them forward and directly pulled apart the hands of the two strangers he was holding.
The three of them were stunned.
As a result, the two strangers were not angry at all. Instead, they took the initiative to hold the hands of Lin Mei and Chen Songyan, who were at both ends. They joined in so simply and rudely.
Wen Jing was amazed when she was pulled to dance.
However, the atmosphere of the party was rich, the ethnic minority music sounded cheerful and rhythmic, and the dance moves were extremely simple, making it easy to immerse yourself in it. After a while, the only four words left in Wen Jing's head were "Asi Lisi", because these were the only four words she understood in the entire song.
The crowd would sometimes move forward and backward with the music, raising and lowering their hands, and occasionally releasing their hands to clap, and put their arms around each other's shoulders. The sense of interaction was very strong.
Wen Jing suddenly understood why strangers were not angry. At this time, anyone who came in could quickly integrate into the group.
Lin Mei and Shen Hongyu were both dancing excitedly, especially Shen Hongyu who was sandwiched between her and Chen Songyan. Wen Jing could vaguely hear a few of his cheerful laughs in the music.
The seats in the back row were farther away from the bonfire in the middle, and the experience was not as good as the front row. Lin Mei soon became dissatisfied. She let go of Wen Jing's hand and said that she wanted to dance in the front row. After that, she coaxed Shen Hongyu to come forward with her.
Shen Hongyu was in a good mood, and when he heard that the front row was more fun, he immediately agreed. In the end, Wen Jing was inexplicably held hands with Chen Songyan.
The two looked at each other and looked away without saying anything, as if nothing had happened.
Wen Jing looked at the equally unfamiliar man on her left and thought, "Just hold his hand." After all, in this situation, Chen Songyan was no different from any other stranger.
The bonfire party lasted for an hour. In the middle, the four of them took a break and jumped around. They changed their positions from the back row to the front row and then to the middle row. They played all over the place and even randomly arranged the positions of the four of them.
In the end, Wen Jing was able to accurately recognize Chen Songyan's hand by the feel, and could even smile at him when the interesting part came. The two of them were as natural as strangers who met by chance, at least for Wen Jing.
When the show was over, Lin Mei said with reluctance that she would bring Lao Wen along next time.
"If you really want to come, you can come after the Lunar New Year. There will be fireworks displays on the nights of the first three days of the Lunar New Year."
"Wow, we have to come then!" Lin Mei agreed on their behalf. She put her hand on Chen Songyan's shoulder and said, "Handsome boy, tell your auntie, are you in a relationship?"
Her question was so direct and abrupt that Wen Jing and Chen Songyan were stunned.
Wen Jing saw Chen Songyan glance at her, then she said to Aunt Lin: "Auntie, why are you asking this?"
"Don't get me wrong, you're so handsome, talented, and good at talking. I think a lot of girls must like you. Just a little gossip! I just love to eat some gossip about you young people."
These words seemed to convince Chen Songyan. He hesitated and said, "No. Auntie, we are at school age now and don't have a romantic relationship."
Wen Jing frowned and looked at him. Chen Songyan happened to be looking at her, but for some reason he avoided her sight.
What the hell? Lying?
Wen Jing suddenly felt furious and asked him directly, "Who was that person who called out to you on the street earlier?"
"What about before? Are you talking about my sister?" Chen Songyan looked up at her in confusion.
"Your sister?" Wen Jing was dumbfounded. "Are you saying that girl is your sister?"
