Chapter 808: Chapter 650: Who Hasn’t Had a Crush on a Few Boys?
Ning Youguang smiled without saying a word.
Li Qing looked at her like this and couldn’t help but be curious, "Is it the same with you and your guy at home?"
Ning Youguang said frankly, "Of course, we’ve also been through a period of adjustment."
"You two need to adjust too?" Jiang Wei said in surprise, "Aren’t you childhood sweethearts?"
Ning Youguang laughed, "So we’ve been adjusting since we were kids."
Jiang Wei pouted, "I don’t believe you one bit."
Everyone laughed heartily, and the atmosphere began to lighten up again.
"Let’s move to the sofa over there." Li Qing shifted her body, "Sitting on chairs for too long is uncomfortable."
"Take the wine over." Jiang Wei started to tidy up the table.
Ning Youguang was responsible for cleaning up the snacks.
"I’ll go prepare some incense and candles." Li Qing got excited and dragged Mao Mao to rummage through the cabinet, finding four or five scented candles to light on the coffee table.
After lighting them, she asked the other two, "Can I turn off the lights?"
She felt turning off the lights would make the atmosphere much more romantic.
Ning Youguang and Jiang Wei had no objections, of course.
"Turn them off."
So the three of them, each holding a cushion, either lay or sat snuggled on the sofa in Li Qing’s house.
The candlelight flickered, casting a hazy glow.
The cold night became warm with the company of close friends.
"I used to think if you were dating someone, it should be someone far away from home." Li Qing suddenly looked at Ning Youguang and said, "But seeing you now, I realize being with someone familiar is also nice."
"Both are fine." Ning Youguang replied very casually, "I think fate will guide you to where you need to be."
"What if one day I send you to Africa, would that be fine too?"
Li Qing thought Ning Youguang really had too soft a personality.
But her softness wasn’t the kind that could be easily bullied; it was more like an accepting, accommodating kind of softness.
"Oh." Ning Youguang said a bit slowly, "I don’t know."
Jiang Wei looked at Li Qing with a speechless expression, "What you’re saying is just wishful thinking for our fairy, she doesn’t even have to think it over."
So, it’s all fine, all possible, all works.
Jiang Wei felt that she understood Ning Youguang a bit after living together in bunk beds for so long.
"It is wishful thinking." Li Qing agreed, "My mind’s just a mess right now."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the glass of red wine in front of her, "Even alcohol can’t numb me."
Jiang Wei, "Then let’s talk about something light."
"Like what?" Li Qing asked curiously.
Jiang Wei thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any unforgettable events or people from your school days?"
Li Qing suddenly laughed, "Yes."
She said, "In high school, our school didn’t allow makeup. One day at noon, on a whim, I put on some makeup that wasn’t noticeable and went to school. A female classmate passed me a note that said, ’Whether with light or heavy makeup, you look great today.’ I don’t know why, but this incident felt so heartwarming to me, and I’ll remember it for a long time."
Jiang Wei also laughed, "Also in high school, on a rainy day in the fall, I suddenly got my period and didn’t realize it myself. At noon when school was over and we went to eat, as I stood up, the boy next to me saw it. He didn’t say anything and just draped his jacket over me. At that time, there were quite a few people in the class, and after seeing it, they teased us saying we were dating. He was usually pretty introverted and didn’t talk much, but that day when he got teased, he blushed and told everyone not to say that, he just thought I looked cold and wanted me to put on his jacket."
Of course, that reason wasn’t enough to satisfy the classmates.
"Since then, rumors spread in our class that he had a crush on me. He never explained, but I suppose I won’t forget his kindness."
"So sweet."
Li Qing and Ning Youguang were both touched by Jiang Wei’s story.
"Do you still keep in touch with such a gentle guy?"
"We keep in touch." Jiang Wei said with a smile, "He’s back in his hometown. Last year he passed the civil service examination and has a stable relationship with a girlfriend he’s about to marry."
Li Qing sighed, "Ah, I was hoping you two had a long-awaited reunion."
Ning Youguang also looked at Jiang Wei with a smile in her eyes, "Did you ever feel moved by his gentle actions?"
"Yes." Jiang Wei confidently replied, and then a relieved smile surfaced on her face, "I had a little crush for a while, but then I focused on studying and preparing for exams. After that, I never thought about it again. Now when I think about it, it was just a youthful, budding crush."
At that time, even if she really liked someone, she knew she couldn’t let this ’liking’ make her neglect her studies.
Because more than anyone, she understood that the college entrance exam was the only ladder allowing her to leave her hometown and escape the countryside and small places.
So, that crush only skimmed her calm youth, causing a slight ripple, and soon returned to calm.
"Who hasn’t liked a few boys in school?" Li Qing looked at Jiang Wei’s relieved expression, candidly revealed her own past.
She counted on her fingers, "Two in elementary school, one in middle school, one in high school, four in total, and I was never with any of them."
Ning Youguang was amazed, "You liked boys in elementary school?"
Li Qing nodded, "Yeah, the first and second in our class."
Ning Youguang almost laughed out loud, "Did you just like anyone who had good grades?"
"Wasn’t it like that when we were kids?" Li Qing said, "The girls in our class used to secretly get together to discuss the boys they liked. The top two in the class were almost everyone’s crush."
Jiang Wei clicked her tongue, "You city kids really know how to play."
Li Qing laughed, "What’s a crush? Some even secretly dated."
"Didn’t the teachers and parents care?"
"Care?" Li Qing said, "I think parents didn’t even think of it that way, but I don’t think it was necessary to care. They were just kids playing house, nothing serious would happen. Middle school was when teachers and parents really focused on these matters."
"Okay, then tell us about your middle school and high school crushes." Jiang Wei.
"In middle school, I liked a boy who sat in front of me. I thought he was good-looking and studied well. I liked him so much that I even tried to mimic his handwriting. The beautiful handwriting I have now is thanks to learning from him."
"No wonder your handwriting looks so elegant." Jiang Wei knew that Li Qing’s writing was beautiful, "I always thought you learned it from a calligraphy teacher."
"No, I learned it from the boy in front of me." Li Qing.
"Impressive." Ning Youguang never had these young girls’ budding feelings, so listening to Li Qing and Jiang Wei tonight felt particularly interesting, "And then?"
"And then when I met him again in high school, I didn’t like him anymore." Li Qing said.
"Was it because he grew less attractive, or you found someone else you liked?" Jiang Wei asked curiously.
