Ever since Chen Yuyou pulled her at the school gate that morning, Chi Rui started exchanging WeChat with her.
Later we met again several times at school.
The two of them didn't talk much and were just nodding acquaintances. Chi Rui didn't expect that she would ask her out during the National Day holiday.
Thinking of the last time he said he would treat her to milk tea, Chi Rui gladly accepted the invitation. After all, she had three days off and should finish her homework.
Chen Yuyou: [Yeah, see you then. ]
Chi Rui looked at WeChat and her mood suddenly brightened when she thought about going out to play.
It has been more than half a month since she came to Xuancheng, and she has hardly gone out. She has not had much chance to wear the clothes she brought from home.
Ye Minghan was peeling peanuts and glanced at her sideways.
The little girl was smiling with her eyebrows curved and her eyes sparkling. I don't know who she was chatting with.
Could it be... that Brother Lang?
Ye Minghan paused, pursed his lips, and wanted to ask something but couldn't open his mouth.
His brows were furrowed, still struggling with confusion, but Chi Rui had already put down his phone.
She reached into the dried fruit plate, picked up a peanut he had peeled, and then said to him with a smile, "Brother Han, we are going to the amusement park for National Day."
“Pah—”
Ye Minghan cracked a peanut open and looked at her calmly, "Alone?"
“No, with my friends at school.”
Chi Rui put the peanuts into his mouth, thought for a moment and said, "She is the school belle of our school. She is so beautiful!"
Ye Minghan's expression relaxed. He put the peeled peanuts into the dried fruit plate, and he felt noticeably lighter.
"Yeah?"
He said calmly, looking somewhat disapproving.
"Really?" Chi Rui showed him Chen Yuyou's profile picture, "Isn't it pretty?"
Ye Minghan took a glance and then looked away.
"It's okay." He still insisted on his original opinion.
Chi Rui tilted his head and looked at him, thinking that Chen Yuyou might not be his type. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Then what do you think is good-looking?"
What kind of thing is considered good looking?
Ye Minghan thought about this question for a rare moment.
After a long moment, he tilted his head and stared at the girl with his dark eyes.
"Maybe..."
He spoke softly, dragging out the last syllable a little long, whetting people's appetite.
"What is it like?" Chi Rui couldn't help but move closer to him and asked curiously.
"You are like this." He whispered.
"ah?"
His voice was a little low, and Chi Rui suspected that he had heard it wrongly.
However, this time, the man responded to her with a peanut.
He stuffed the peanuts into her slightly open mouth, then stood up and patted her head.
“It’s time to eat.”
Then, he walked towards the dining room.
Chi Rui watched him leave, blushing as she pulled the pillow over and hugged it in her arms, her big eyes rolling around.
She must have heard it right just now, right?
Brother Han...are you praising her for her beauty?
Ye Minghan walked to the door, turned around to look at her again, then put his hands in his pockets, turned into the dining room somewhat uncomfortably.
The National Day holiday is coming soon.
The night before, Chi Rui had a phone call with her best friend Roy Yi who lived far away in South City.
Roy Yi attends a private high school with a completely closed teaching system and military-style management, which is much stricter than Dongxuan High School.
Senior high school students basically only go home once every two weeks, so the two of them haven’t been able to keep in touch even though Chi Rui has been transferred to another school for so long.
"Wow, Ruirui, I miss you so much!"
"Life without you is so boring, woooooooo——"
"Our school is so abnormal. They don't treat students as human beings at all. They only give us two days off for National Day, but they also assign us homework that we can't finish in a week!"
“…”
Chi Rui listened to her complaints patiently and comforted her softly. When she felt better, he told her some interesting things that happened in Xuancheng.
Two girls who hadn't spoken to each other for a long time talked for two or three hours.
Finally, Luo Yi's mother urged her to take a shower, and she reluctantly said goodbye to Chi Rui.
"By the way, Yiyi, I'll send you a design draft later. Can you help me see if I can make it?"
Luo Yiyi's family is in the ceramic business. Chi Rui often visits her home and occasionally designs some small gadgets for herself and asks the Luo family to help her make them.
"Okay, just pass it over and I'll help you take a look." Roy Yi agreed readily.
Chi Rui smiled gently and said thank you to her.
"What is our relationship? Do I need to thank you? Oh, I won't talk to you anymore. My mom is urging me again. Let's talk later."
Roy Yi hung up the phone.
Chi Rui put down his phone, took out a notebook from the bookshelf and opened it.
I saw a withered yellow ginkgo leaf on the page that was opened.
Chi Rui picked up the ginkgo leaf, looked at it under the light, and then carefully put it behind the notebook.
She took out her cell phone, took a picture of the colored drawing on the notebook, and sent it to Roy Yi.
Seeing that it was sent successfully, she looked up at the calendar on the wall.
A certain day on the calendar was circled with a pink highlighter.
Chi Rui smiled slightly, closed the notebook, and got up to prepare for the next day's trip.
The next morning, Chi Rui got up early and dressed up.
She chose a bright yellow suspender dress today and paired it with a beige cardigan.
After putting on some simple makeup, she tidied her long hair and put on a headband.
When she went downstairs, Ye Minghan was already sitting in the dining room waiting for her.
Looking at the girl who appeared at the door, he was stunned.
She was dressed up carefully, and she looked gentle, beautiful, energetic and bright, making it impossible to take your eyes off her.
"Brother Han."
When Chi Rui saw him, she grinned first, then lowered her head slightly and asked shyly, "Do you think this looks good?"
Ye Minghan finally came back to his senses, reached out for the milk, took a sip as if concealing something, and nodded slightly.
"Yeah, not bad." He said calmly.
Butler Chen came out of the kitchen and his eyes lit up when he saw her.
"Miss Rui looks so beautiful today." He said, "Do you want to go out and play?"
"Yeah, I made an appointment with my classmates to go to the amusement park."
As Chi Rui spoke, he walked to his seat, sat down and started eating breakfast.
Ye Minghan, who was sitting opposite her, would steal a glance at her from time to time.
His eyes sparkled slightly, as if stars had fallen from them.
Chi Rui didn't realize that she had wasted some time in dressing up, and now she had to hurry up.
"Uncle Chen, can you ask the driver to take me there later?" She suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to make an appointment with the driver.
Butler Chen was about to say that it was no problem when he heard his young master say calmly, "The driver has asked for leave."
He paused, then smiled and nodded.
"Yes, the driver is on National Day holiday."
Chi Rui was embarrassed, "Is that so? Then I'll take a taxi?"
"I'll take you there." Ye Minghan said slowly.
Chi Rui blinked, "Brother Han doesn't have to go to work today?"
"Yes." Butler Chen echoed, "Let the young master take you there."
Chi Rui was naturally happy that Ye Minghan was free to send her off.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Han."
Looking at her happy smile, Ye Minghan also slightly curled the corners of his lips.
Butler Chen had already returned to the kitchen and called the driver, asking him to go back on vacation and leave quickly.
After they finished their breakfast, they went out together.
The amusement park was a bit far away, and there was a traffic jam, so by the time they arrived at their destination, it was already half past nine.
It was the National Day holiday, and from afar you could see a sea of people in front of the amusement park, it was very lively.
Chi Rui saw Chen Yuyou waiting at the door from the car.
She stood at the outermost edge, wearing a snow-white long dress. Her tall figure and beautiful face ensured that she would not be drowned even if she stood in the crowd.
Ye Minghan parked the car on the side of the road.
"Then Brother Han, I'll get off first." Chi Rui waved her hand at him.
In fact, she really wanted to invite him to go to the amusement park together, but since Chen Yuyu was there this time, she thought it would be better to do it next time.
Next time, alone, when it was just the two of them.
This thought flashed through his mind, Chi Rui blushed, and quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
"Goodbye, Brother Han."
As she watched him leave, Ye Minghan had no choice but to drive forward, turn into an intersection, and then drive back in a circle.
He stopped by the roadside and watched from afar as Chi Rui met a girl, the two of them talking and laughing.
When Chi Rui got off the car, Chen Yuyou had already seen her.
"I'm sorry, Youyou. You've been waiting for a long time, right?" Chi Rui walked closer and said apologetically.
"No, I just arrived."
Chen Yuyou smiled slightly, looking at her cute and bright outfit, her eyes flickered slightly.
This Chi Rui is really beautiful.
"Then let's go in quickly."
Chi Rui took her hand and said impatiently.
Chen Yuyou shook her head and said softly, "Let's wait a little longer. I have another friend coming over."
Chi Rui blinked. She didn't expect that Chen Yuyou had made an appointment with other people.
But it was more lively with more people, so she didn't mind, "Oh, then we'll wait a little longer."
While waiting, she saw a milk tea shop in the distance. She thought for a moment and said, "I'll go buy some milk tea. What flavor do you like, Youyou?"
Chen Yuyou was also a little thirsty, so she ordered a glass of milk tea.
"Where's your friend? Ask her what she wants to drink?"
Chen Yuyou paused, shook his head and said, "No, my friend doesn't like milk tea."
"Oh, okay. I'll go over there first."
Chi Rui responded and ran off to buy milk tea.
Ye Minghan sat in the car, watching her petite figure squeezing in the crowd from afar, her target obviously being the milk tea shop.
He couldn't help but frown.
The little girl went to buy milk tea, and her friend was waiting there?
Ye Minghan pursed his lips slightly, feeling a little unhappy.
He thought about it, found a parking lot nearby, parked his car, put on a baseball cap and sunglasses, and returned to the entrance of the amusement park.
There are a lot of people out playing during the holidays, and there is already a long line in front of the milk tea shop.
While he was parking the car, Chi Rui moved forward a little, but was still far behind.
The girl was looking down at her phone and didn't notice him at all.
He lowered the brim of his hat and squeezed towards the milk tea shop.
Roy Yi: [Rui Rui, my dad said that the design is fine, should we have someone start working on it?] Chi Rui: [Yes, can it be done as soon as possible?] Roy Yi: [Okay, if you need it urgently, I will help you urge it.] Chi Rui: [Love you gif] After Chi Rui sent a message to Roy Yi, she put away her phone and was about to see where she was in the queue when she saw a clerk from a milk tea shop walking towards her.
"Congratulations, young lady. Our store is holding a National Day event and you have been selected as a lucky audience. This order can be free and you don't have to queue."
The clerk said to her with a smile.
"What can I do for you? We'll help you right away."
Chi Rui was a little dazed. Under the guidance of the shop assistant, he came to the front amid the envious and jealous gazes of the customers in the queue.
"What would you like to drink, miss?"
"A cup of milk tea and a cup of red bean matcha." Chi Rui said subconsciously.
After the clerk packed the milk tea, she finally came to her senses.
"Thank you, how much are these two cups? Or should I return the money?"
"No, no, this is your milk tea, please take it."
The clerk refused with a smile on his face, and with a customer behind him urging him to leave, Chi Rui had no choice but to leave with the milk tea.
When she walked out of the milk tea shop, she still found it a little unbelievable.
She had come across many free activities before, but this was the first time she had seen one without having to queue.
There was no number to take when I was queuing, so how did they draw it?
Chi Rui couldn't figure out the reason, so he forgot about it for the time being. He happily took the milk tea and went back to find Chen Yuyou.
She didn't notice that under a tree not far away, there was a tall man wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap.
He put his hands in his pockets, looked at her leaving back, and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
Just when Chi Rui returned to his previous position, he saw a familiar tall figure beside Chen Yuyou.
When he saw her, his eyes curved slightly under his rimless glasses and he revealed a gentle smile.
"Hi, Xiao Chi."
