Chapter 43 Campground "I like you so much."...
"2017.06.30 Light Rain"
Classmate Y, you never think that I like you, but I just like you.
——Excerpt from Tao Shuran’s Diary
*
The moment they walked out of the exit, Tao Shuran turned around and looked at him and said softly, "Liang Yuanjing, are you afraid that I will like you?"
Liang Yuanjing paused, turned around calmly, and smiled brightly.
"I'm not that narcissistic yet."
After saying this, he left in a leisurely manner, his straight back casting a long shadow in the dim light.
Tao Shuran tilted his head and looked at the ground with longing.
In fact, what she was more familiar with than his face was his shadow.
After playing most of the exciting projects, at the end of the day, a few boys suggested going on the roller coaster again.
Tao Shuran and Fang Qingyi went to ride the carousel.
They specially picked a seat on the second floor. The pink pony was bobbing up and down, and Fang Qingyi held the horse's head and asked her questions curiously.
"How's it going, Ranran?"
"What surprise has our Captain Liang prepared for you?"
Tao Shuran: "Lights."
"Ah, so the lights at the amusement park were turned off tonight for you. Liang Yuanjing was so generous, he booked the entire park for you."
"Qingyi, do you know what the ultimate feeling of secret love is?"
"What?"
"It's because you know he's a very good person, so good that even if he still doesn't like you in the end, you won't feel resentful or angry."
Tao Shuran looked up at Yun and said softly, "He told me that I deserve the best in the world."
"I'm actually starting to really feel like I'm a very good person."
She looked at Fang Qingyi with a tone of surprise and joy and said, "Xiaoyi, I think I can start facing photos of my past. Even if I was fat, ugly, and a bad student, that was still me."
This is the power of Liang Yuanjing.
And she was just secretly in love with him, but she was also infected.

The whole week of exams, from eight in the morning to three in the afternoon, finally ended with the last exam.
Fang Qingyi and Zhao Zhengnian lay on the table of an off-campus cafe like frost-bitten eggplants.
Tao Shuran finished his exam a day earlier than the other two and arrived the earliest.
She ordered cakes and drinks in advance, and asked the waiter to bring them as soon as everyone arrived.
"Xiaoyi, this is your Valrhona cocoa cake, this caramel banana mille-feuille is for Fu Changpei, and Zhao Zhengnian, this is your raspberry latte."
Tao Shuran looked around, turned around and said to the waiter, "I have another serving of Liang Yuanjing's mint coconut water. Please make it with less ice."
Zhao Zhengnian smiled and jokingly said, "You know Ajing's taste so well."
"Of course, otherwise why did she become his girlfriend but you didn't?"
方晴宜撑着下巴慢悠悠爆出一个猛料：“告诉大家，赵政年小时候是梁远京的忠实粉丝，有一次他在学校里挨揍，梁远京给他把场子找回来了，他哭着抱着梁远京的大腿说要嫁给他。”
Zhao Zhengnian: "I was only eight years old at that time, okay?"
Fang Qingyi stuck out her tongue and made a face.
Seeing that the two of them were about to fight again, Fu Changpei sighed helplessly, stood between them, holding one of them with one hand, and forcibly controlled the atmosphere.
"Aren't we here today to discuss summer vacation plans?"
"Right." Fang Qingyi turned her head. "It's a rare holiday when Liang Yuanjing doesn't have to go to training. Let's find a place to have fun."
"Where are you going?"
The three of them turned their heads and looked at Fu Changpei.
Fu Changpei leaned on the table and shrugged his shoulders. His denim blue shirt and jacket fell naturally, and his figure was loose and sloppy, looking casual and unconcerned.
"How about going camping?"
Liang Yuanjing walked in from outside with a basketball in his arms, and took his coconut water from the food counter. As if by telepathy, he raised his hand and said "thank you" to Tao Shuran.
He pulled out a high stool, straddled it with his long legs, and casually said, "A friend of mine opened a campground in the wetland park. The scenery is pretty good."
"There's a barbecue stall in the evening, and I heard they've invited singers to perform. The atmosphere should be pretty good."
Everyone hit it off and decided to hold their holiday activities at this camping spot.
Fang Qingyi became excited and started to discuss with them what to buy for camping.
Liang Yuanjing lay on the table, feeling somewhat bored.
The ample air conditioning in the cafe dispelled the heat from the exercise. He rested his chin on his hand, fiddling with the straw in a daze.
Tao Shuran reached out and handed over a pack of wet wipes.
He took a glance, took out a piece of paper and wiped the sweat off his face.
After a while, he asked, "Do you have any candy?"
Tao Shuran uttered an "Ah," felt around in his pockets, and said, "No."
"But I see there seems to be a convenience store across the street. I can buy it for you."
“It’s too much trouble.”
Liang Yuanjing drummed his fingers on the table. The adrenaline after the exercise subsided. There was a hint of fatigue in his eyes, and even his tone seemed listless.
"I want to smoke."
Tao Shuran subconsciously touched the lighter in her bag. It was a metal lighter, and because of her rubbing, a fingerprint appeared on it.
She pushed the lighter into her bag and said to him "No" in a principled manner.
Liang Yuanjing sighed helplessly, his chin pressed down with his folded hands, his back was bony and rugged.
The withdrawal reaction is really hard to endure.
Tao Shuran thought for a while, then stood up quietly. She ran to the front desk to order and talked to the waiter.
After a while, he came over with a handful of plum candies.
"Eat candy."
Liang Yuanjing: "I don't want to eat."
Tao Shuran tore open the wrapping paper and handed it to him.
Liang Yuanjing took it slowly and put it under his tongue. A sour taste rushed to the top of his head.
He couldn't help but smack his lips: "What kind of candy is this? It's so sour."
Tao Shuran glanced down and said apologetically, "I forgot you can't eat sour food."
"But your method is really effective. I really don't have any other ideas."
Liang Yuanjing stared at a handful of candies in the same package on the table, and felt that his entire mouth was automatically secreting an acidic reaction.
He crossed his arms and smiled, then slowly looked towards her -
"Did you bring this candy just to coax me?"
Tao Shuran nodded slightly: "After all, you gave me the lighter."
Really honest.
It was just a lighter, but she carefully supervised him to quit smoking.
Liang Yuanjing raised his head and took a sip of water. Zhao Zhengnian, who was sitting next to him, leaned over, took out his lighter from his pocket, and glared at him.
"No, Ajing, are you really going to quit just like that?"
“Is smoking good for your health?”
Zhao Zhengnian shook his head.
"Then why not quit?"
Liang Yuanjing snorted and laughed: "Besides, I promised him."
Tao Shuran was a little at a loss when she was suddenly called out. She moved her legs under her black skirt. In the narrow seat, she accidentally kicked someone's leg. She lowered her head and quickly said sorry.
Liang Yuanjing placed one hand on the edge of the table and slightly retracted his legs. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Tao Shuran, only then did he realize that she was wearing a short skirt suit today, a pair of low-heeled sandals, and bow-tie straps around her ankles, which made her calves look extremely slender.
His Adam's apple rolled, and he lazily withdrew his gaze, looked up at the air-conditioning vent, took off his flight jacket and handed it to her.
"The temperature is low, cover your legs."
Tao Shuran said "Oh", and only after he reminded her did he feel a little cold.
Zhao Zhengnian sighed and said, "Ajing, you paid too high a price for Sister Tao."
Liang Yuanjing raised his eyebrows, and looked up with his dark and sharp eyes, looking handsome in a cool and unruly way.
"I do."
"I have to change the note for you." Zhao Zhengnian picked up his phone and started typing.
After playing, he showed it to them and looked very satisfied.
Liang Yuanjing lazily raised his eyes and looked at his new name on the screen - Self-disciplined Man shining.
He sneered coldly and didn't bother to pay any attention.
Fang Qingyi also raised her phone and started to cheer: "Then I want to change one too."
"The King of Nonsense, Zhao Zhengnian, this is your new code name from now on."
"Of course, what's your note?"
Tao Shuran unlocked the password of his mobile phone and calmly showed them the contact list.
"Mine is very simple. It's everyone's name. If you're not that familiar with me, I'll add the birthday after it."
Zhao Zhengnian pointed to the name at the bottom and asked, "Who is this y?"
He clicked on the avatar and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Oh, it's Liang Yuanjing."
Liang Yuanjing looked over slowly.
Tao Shuran's heart skipped a beat. Her secret was about to be revealed. She was so afraid that he would find out that even her voice trembled.
He explained hurriedly: "I was too lazy to change it at that time."
The story about this name continued until the day we actually went camping.
That was the hottest summer in Fuqing, with the temperature reaching 40 degrees Celsius during the day.
Tao Shuran and his group have become nocturnal animals. They stay in the hotel during the day to play games together, and only come out to play at night when the sun sets.
That day they rented a barbecue stall and drove to a nearby supermarket to buy a lot of ingredients, preparing to have barbecue together in the evening.
While waiting for the barbecue, Fang Qingyi suggested that everyone play a game together, which she learned from watching a variety show recently.
According to the order of seats, each person will say one word in turn to form a sentence. Whoever breaks the sentence will be punished.
A bunch of strange words popped up to form a nonsensical sentence, and Fang Qingyi gulped down several glasses of soda.
She couldn't bear it any longer and started to attack Zhao Zhengnian.
"Can you think of some normal words? No one starts the word 'qingdang'."
"Change positions. Starting from Liang Yuanjing, no one is allowed to choose uncommon characters."
Liang Yuanjing, who was suddenly called out, raised his head slightly, revealing a small part of his chin from the darkness. He wore an oversized black T-shirt, looking casual and lazy. He reached out to touch the brim of his hat, revealing a pair of dark and cold narrow eyes.
"I."
Even the words he used were so simple that everyone stood there for a while before realizing that these were the words he said.
Zhao Zhengnian thought about it, clapped his hands and said "OK".
Fang Qingyi propped up her chin and tilted her head to look at the next person: "Xi."
Fu Changpei: "Happy?"
All eyes were focused on Tao Shuran's face, and the word that was about to come out was finally spoken the moment Liang Yuanjing raised his eyes and looked over.
Tao Shuran spoke for some unknown reason——
"you."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: "I like you so much."
This confession made in the name of the game, Ranran, as we are about to part, also fulfills your childhood dream.
At least you had the courage to say you loved him.
*
Probably the most regrettable thing in an ambiguous relationship is not telling him "I like you" in person.
I always feel that in a quiet atmosphere, two people's eyes are shining like crackling flames, with hearts that are about to jump out of their chests, and they solemnly and shyly say "I like you", which is the atmosphere of the purest love in the universe.
If I fall in love in the future, there must be a scene where I confess my love.
I want to know clearly that you like me, and my heart is cheering for you.
There will be regrets in secret love, but in my heart, there will be no regrets for Ranran.
Because she is brave, determined, hardworking and deserves everything!
