Chapter 52 Desert Land “Then you can coax me.”
The car stopped on a deserted road.
The desert wind blew up the sand, the sky darkened, and the world was so silent that it seemed as if only the two of them were left.
Tao Shuran looked at him calmly and asked, "Is it not possible?"
She pressed her hand on the handle: "If you don't take me, I'll get off."
Very good.
He is really capable and has even learned how to threaten people.
Liang Yuanjing raised his chin and asked her, "Where are you going in this wilderness?"
Tao Shuran pursed her lips: "None of your business."
Liang Yuanjing couldn't help but sneered: "Are you still throwing a tantrum at me?"
"Then will you give me a ride?"
Liang Yuanjing's tongue pressed against his jaw, grinding against his sharp teeth, and his hands returned to the steering wheel.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Send it."
He unbuckled his seat belt, leaned over, and buckled the seat belt that Tao Shuran had pulled off.
With a "click", his fingers hooked the seat belt and his whole body completely covered her. His black hair accidentally brushed against her neck, making her feel itchy.
Tao Shuran moved restlessly.
Soon, he held her shoulders, and Liang Yuanjing's breath subsided. He leaned over, and his hot breath sprayed freely on her neck.
It was as if he had bitten her earlobe, and the unwilling voice drilled into her eardrum.
"I want to see who is brave enough to steal my woman."
Tao Shuran was startled, and could not move her shoulders as he held them.
She looked up and saw his pair of sharp, dark eyes, staring at her with an extremely oppressive feeling, like a lion guarding his territory.
At this moment, desire is exposed nakedly, full of the potential for invasion.
At this moment, Tao Shuran finally realized the change in Liang Yuanjing.
Compared to five years ago, he has lost his youthful aura and has acquired the aura of a mature man.
Maybe kissing him at this moment would no longer be shy of looking away after lips touching for just a second.
He would grab her chin and swallow all her rejections.
Realizing that she was daydreaming, Tao Shuran quickly shook her head and forced herself to look away from his red lips.
Her fingers clenched tightly around the feeling of security, her heartbeat accelerating, but her tone remained calm.
"Drive carefully."
Liang Yuanjing chuckled, brushed his fingertips across her blushing cheek, sat back and stepped on the accelerator hard.
Finally, after speeding all the way, Tao Shuran stepped into the restaurant on time at 6:30.
This is an authentic local restaurant with a very romantic decoration. The floor is covered with large exotic tiles and there are gorgeous lights hanging all over the walls.
Tao Shuran adjusted her hair in the rearview mirror and prepared to get out of the car.
As soon as she opened the car door, she found Liang Yuanjing coming out as well.
She looked at him: "You want to go in too?"
Liang Yuanjing held the car keys and said seriously, "I'll help you check your character."
"Who would bring their ex-boyfriend to a blind date?"
"Then who comes on a blind date in their ex-boyfriend's car?"
Tao Shuran had nothing to say.
"Whatever you want," she said. "Just don't tell me you know me when you go in."
Liang Yuanjing crossed his arms and said nothing.
He just lazily followed her like a bodyguard, and anyone could tell they knew each other.
Even the waiter who came forward to greet us asked, "Miss, what would you two like to eat?"
Before he could respond, Tao Shuran, who was walking in front, turned back coldly and said, "He and I are not together."
Liang Yuanjing sat down at the next table.
His eyes fell on the candle ornament in the middle of the round table, and he couldn't help but sneer.
What an old-fashioned restaurant that even has a candlelight dinner to enhance the atmosphere.
Are you a couple? Just mess around.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
The waiter handed over the menu: "Our lemon liqueur is our signature drink."
"Just give me a non-alcoholic drink."
Liang Yuanjing closed the menu, supported his chin and looked at Tao Shuran's table calmly.
"I still have to take that lady who doesn't know me home later."
Tao Shuran paused while looking at the menu, and at this moment, a boy walked over from the opposite side.
"Excuse me, I just went to the bathroom."
"Hello, my name is Zhao Han."
She also stood up and extended her hand to shake it gently.
Zhao Han has a neat appearance, with a neat flat head that reveals a pair of bright eyes. He looks a little immature and is wearing a gray sweatshirt suit. If Tao Shuran didn't know his age in advance, she would have thought he was still in college.
"How did you get here?"
Zhao Han said considerately, "Can I drive you home later?"
Tao Shuran hesitated and said, "I came here with a friend."
Her eyes subconsciously looked at Liang Yuanjing beside her, and naturally, Zhao Han also followed her gaze.
"Captain Liang?"
"Your friend is Liang Yuanjing?"
He suddenly stood up excitedly, took two big steps to Liang Yuanjing, turned around and said excitedly to Tao Shuran:
“This is my idol!”
"Ever since I entered the aviation profession, I have always taken you as my role model."
Zhao Han fumbled around, trying to find paper and pen. Finally, he took a pen from the menu, stretched it out of his shirt sleeve, and waited eagerly for Liang Yuanjing's signature.
Tao Shuran simply couldn't bear to watch it.
She couldn't help but ask, "Are you a pilot too?"
"Yes, I was two years younger than Captain Liang. At the age of 26, I broke the legend of being the youngest captain. This legend has been passed down in Aviation University until now."
Tao Shuran had nothing to say.
Are there no other professions in this world besides pilots? Even blind dates can find people in the same field.
Liang Yuanjing looked over slowly at this time.
The ending note rises slightly, revealing the playfulness.
"Tao Shuran, after we broke up, do you like sister-brother relationships?"
Zhao Han was originally enjoying the autograph of her idol, but when she heard these words, she suddenly understood everything.
He asked how come the big shot who was usually nowhere to be found in school appeared in the restaurant today, and it turned out that he was following someone.
"Excuse me, sister-in-law." Zhao Han clasped his hands together and said sincerely, "I didn't know about this situation before I came here. I'm so embarrassed."
"No, we..."
Before he could finish his words, Liang Yuanjing stretched out his arm. Tao Shuran screamed and was picked up by him around the waist with one arm.
Liang Yuanjing strode forward, shaking his hand holding the car keys in the air.
"Excuse me, I'll treat you to dinner today."
He looked back at Zhao Han, his eyes revealing undisguised possessiveness and his smile was frivolous and wanton.
"This is my man, take him away first."
The moment he was picked up by the waist, Tao Shuran truly felt the huge difference in strength between men and women.
The passenger door was opened and Liang Yuanjing leaned over to fasten her seat belt.
She turned her face away coldly and ignored him.
“Unqualified.”
After getting in the car, Liang Yuanjing said nonchalantly, "You're not as good as me, how can you be my boyfriend?"
Tao Shuran retorted, "If I follow your standards, then I will be alone."
Liang Yuanjing burst out laughing.
Why did her words make him feel happier and happier?
While waiting for the red light, he turned his head and whispered to her -
"Then look at me, huh?"
Tao Shuran said angrily, "I won't watch it."
Liang Yuanjing leaned over, his hot breath lingering around her, and the two of them were very close to each other.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to see it?"
"Liang Yuanjing, don't play rogue."
Liang Yuanjing raised his eyebrows: "I'm just playing."
"Tao Shuran, for you, I can be shameless."
Tao Shuran pursed her lips and decided to keep her mouth shut and not say another word to her.
She turned on her phone and looked down to pull up Amap.
Liang Yuanjing glanced at it and said, "Why, you don't trust me?"
She said, “A little bit.”
Sure enough, the next second, the female voice on the map prompted: "You have deviated from your course. We are re-planning your route."
After the prompt tone appeared repeatedly, Tao Shuran gradually realized that something was wrong.
She asked, "Where are you taking me?"
“Fun place.”
Liang Yuanjing turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator decisively, and the car stopped by the side of the road.
He supported the car door with his hand, lowered his head to touch a cigarette, bit it under his tongue, and looked at her with his chin slightly raised.
"Anyway, your trip tonight won't be in vain."
Tao Shuran whispered, "I hate you."
"Well." Liang Yuanjing asked her, "Do you still want the tickets?"
"Since I'm here."
She reached out and took the ticket: "You can't let me sit on the bus for an hour for nothing."
This place is a small artificial amusement park. Unlike ordinary amusement parks, most of the rides here are built on the desert.
For example, the aerial cableway and sand motorcycle are all well-known projects.
Before coming to North City, Tao Shuran searched for relevant guides. To be honest, she was quite interested.
At this moment, the sun has completely set and the moon has climbed above the horizon. As the cable car slowly rises from the sand, you can see the most beautiful desert scenery.
While queuing, Liang Yuanjing gave a cigarette to the security guard.
He played with the metal lighter in his hand and smiled nonchalantly.
"The child is afraid of heights. Can I sit with her so it's easier to take care of her?"
"She's my girlfriend, right?"
The security officer smiled and said, "Although it's a bit crowded, there's no problem with two people sitting there. Just hold her tight."
Liang Yuanjing didn't say yes or no. He walked lazily behind Tao Shuran, lowered his eyes and fastened her seat belt himself.
When she waited for him, the touch of skin against skin made Tao Shuran widen her eyes slightly.
She asked, "Is this a two-seater?"
Liang Yuanjing said "hmm".
"Then why are there seats for one person in the front?"
Liang Yuanjing answered without thinking: "Because they are all single dogs."
"Hurry up, there's a queue behind you."
After getting on the cable car, Tao Shu reacted belatedly.
She pointed at herself and said, "Aren't we single?"
Liang Yuanjing still had that vague and lazy tone, his fingers lazily resting on her shoulders, occasionally accelerating the impact, he intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to her shoulders, his hot breath spraying on the back of her neck.
His presence is impossible to ignore.
Every contact seems like a dream woven of sweetness and sadness.
Tao Shuran closed his eyes and warned himself not to indulge himself.
After getting off the cable car, they went to play sand motorcycles, which is a relatively exciting activity.
The motorcycle jumped down from a high hill, and the momentary feeling of weightlessness made my heart beat faster.
Avoiding a rollover will undoubtedly test the driver's control skills.
Liang Yuanjing stepped on the accelerator, controlled the steering wheel with ease, and led Tao Shuran to the highest point.
There were envious voices all around, as well as the roar of accelerators.
But unfortunately, most people stopped halfway, only Liang Yuanjing led her all the way to the higher ground.
The feeling of standing at the highest point and overlooking the entire city is completely different.
Tao Shuran got out of the car, feeling the wind blowing across her collar, and a free flow of air spread throughout her body. She always felt that the brilliant lights of thousands of homes were actually just a speck of starlight under her feet.
Liang Yuanjing leaned against the side of the car, the wind blowing up the hem of his clothes. He put aside the metal lighter and lowered his head to light a cigarette.
The indigo flames flickered, and blue-gray smoke slowly came out as he raised his head.
He looked at her back in silence, the flickering light illuminating a pair of dark eyes, which were both desire and pleading.
After finishing a cigarette, Liang Yuanjing slowly walked to her side.
Tao Shuran turned his head and asked him: "Interview, how do you feel now?"
She originally wanted to ask him what it felt like for someone who grew up in a southern city to see such a magnificent desert landscape.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yuanjing narrowed his eyes, was silent for a while and said -
"So this is what it feels like to watch someone from behind for a long time."
Tao Shuran's eyelashes trembled and her eyes drooped slightly.
Almost instantly, I understood what he meant.
It was also at this moment that she suddenly understood many of Liang Yuanjing's actions.
The so-called shameless asking, asking questions despite knowing the answer, and the hesitation to speak were actually him walking the same path she had walked before.
"You don't need this."
Liang Yuanjing was uncharacteristically serious: "No, I must."
He patted her shoulder: "Look up."
The moment Tao Shuran looked up, he saw thousands of fireworks blooming in the night sky.
The gorgeous and beautiful fireworks, starting from tiny sparks, suddenly stretched out at an altitude of ten thousand meters, bursting out with colors as colorful as flowers.
Even though there are no tall buildings reaching into the clouds in the desert, it still has unique scenery.
Tao Shuran sighed, "It's a pity that happiness is only fleeting."
Liang Yuanjing stood beside her and said slowly: "But we can also make it eternal."
His carefree eyes and brows showed the youthful spirit that never faded, and with the arrogance and arrogance of never giving up, he produced a small gadget like a magic trick and put it in Tao Shuran's hand.
"The second wind rose for you."
"The direction of the wind on the wind rose chart represents the direction the wind is coming from. What I mean is that you are where I'm coming from and where I'm going back to."
*
The atmosphere that night was wonderful and everything seemed just right.
When getting off the car, Tao Shuran was still holding the paper-folded wind rose in her hand.
Liang Yuanjing stopped at the right point, and his words and actions were restrained.
"Tao Shuran, there is one thing I must make clear to you. What I did does not mean I want anything from you."
"You don't have to give me any expression or reaction. Just stand there and watch."
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Look at my sincerity as I walk towards you."
It is shameful to escape.
But the escape worked.
He said it so frankly, which made Tao Shuran feel much more relaxed when facing him.
She no longer had to think about his purpose in approaching her, nor did she have to rack her brains to think of refusing him.
Let the leaves fall with the wind, the clouds roll and unfold, and let everything go according to your heart.
Tao Shuran closed the car door and said from the bottom of his heart, "Goodbye."
Liang Yuanjing unbuckled his seat belt and prepared to get out of the car.
"I'll give you a piece."
"No, thanks."
The speed of speech suddenly increased abnormally, and he subconsciously turned his head to look. Tao Shuran was standing in front of him anxiously, looking forward nervously.
Not far away, Jin Boyu led his colleagues from the restoration team out.
If they looked any further ahead, they would be discovered immediately.
"Liang Yuanjing, don't come out."
Through the car window, Tao Shuran half bent down to look him in the eye.
He spoke quickly: "My senior brother and master are all across the way."
Liang Yuanjing said with a half-smile: "I can't see people?"
Tao Shuran bit her lip in embarrassment.
If the news she had discussed with Liang Yuanjing was not kept secret, it would soon become the topic of conversation in this small town.
As he was hesitating, Jin Boyu's footsteps were approaching.
At the same time, Liang Yuanjing also leaned over. He leaned his head out slightly, raised his eyebrows, and smiled wickedly.
"Senior Brother."
"What a coincidence. I'll go say hello."
"don't want."
Without thinking, Tao Shuran reached out and pressed his head.
The touch of the lush hair made her blink in a trance. She lowered her head helplessly, only to see Liang Yuanjing's eyes with an obvious smile.
He drew out an "ah" and laughed lazily.
“Then you coax me.
