Jiang Yanzhou said that he liked her and that he wanted her to be with him.
Compared to the previous direct statements, this ambiguous statement creates ripples in her heart like a deep pool of water.
Neither of them spoke, not even a sound of breath could be heard.
After a while, Jiang Yanzhou’s voice came softly, “Good night.”
Lu Yang sluggishly replied, “Good night.”
The call ended.
Jiang Yanzhou raised his hand, his fingertip unbuttoning a button on his collar. He glanced at the box on the table, tugged at the corner of his mouth, picked it up, and opened it. A simple ring appeared in his sight.
Staring at the ring, for some unknown reason, his thoughts drifted back to a long time ago.
It was a winter with biting cold, and everywhere there was a shining white brilliance. Coming out of the bustling crowd, near the park next to the square, a girl held a string of candied haws in her hand, gracefully walking on the stone steps, occasionally turning her body, a smile on her face.
Drizzling rain fell without warning, she stopped in her tracks, looked up, and the water droplets hung from her hair. Pitifully, she said, “Jiang Yanzhou, it’s raining.”
He took his hand out of the pocket of his windbreaker, gently patting the water off her hair. The smile at the corner of his lips only grew, “It’s raining.”
Her clear black eyes gazed at a few strands of tenderness scattered in his tea-colored bright eyes. Her eyelashes trembled lightly, and suddenly she tiptoed and lightly kissed his thin lips. A fleeting and subtle kiss, leaving no trace.
“Sorry, I couldn’t help it.”
A trace of cunning flashed in her deep black pupils. Although she said sorry, there was no hint of apology.
The girl’s eyelashes were moistened by a few raindrops, like flowing light, captivating one’s heart.
He stopped her from running away, his long arm embraced her, pulling her into his embrace. Then, with ease, he used the hair tie on his wrist to gather her black hair.
She was puzzled.
As the slight coolness grazed her fingertips, she shuddered, a tingling sensation running down her spine, but she only focused on his serious expression.
After tying her hair, his thick palm pressed against the back of her neck, and he slowly uttered two words, “Continue.”
As the words fell, his thin lips carried an evident aggression and descended upon hers, overwhelming.
Lips met lips, breaths in disarray, making this winter especially scorching and hot.
The first kiss tasted like candied haws, sour and sweet, addictive.
A fake rain, two genuine individuals.
After the kiss, she leaned against his chest, taking a long time to recover.
A fake rain, two sincere individuals, and genuine emotions.
The girl looked at the candied haws on the ground and lamented, “It’s disgraceful to waste food.”
She lifted her head, catching his eyes filled with affection, and said seriously, “Next time we kiss, remember to put the candied haws aside first. That way, after the kiss, we can still have candied haws to enjoy.”
With these thoughts, the warm, fragmented happiness from the past and the fleeting moments of joy captivated his entire heart.
Lu Yang had a dream in a vague and ethereal space, where she stood in place, spinning around, only able to hear her own irregular breathing.
Attempting to calm herself down, as if a beam of light broke in, the sound of a ringing bell woke her up.
The incoming call displayed ‘Ye Cixing.”
As soon as the call connected, the person on the other end started chattering non-stop, “Let me tell you, even though I’m not a believer in Buddhism and firmly believe in the supremacy of science, but—I went to a fortune teller yesterday specifically to have your fortune told! Guess what the fortune teller said?! Come on, guess quickly. Oh, forget it, I’ll just tell you. The fortune teller said that you will encounter an unwarranted calamity this year and need to spend money to ward it off. I was initially going to say forget about spending money, but then he mentioned an 88% discount. How could I miss out on a good deal? So, I took care of the calamity for you.”
Lu Yang was speechless.
“Don’t thank me too much, I’m just a humble believer in God.”
Lu Yang got out of bed, slipped on her shoes, and walked to the window, pulling open the curtains, and allowing the light to pour into the room.
She looked at the vibrant flowers blooming downstairs throughout the year and asked directly, “How did the investigation go?”
“Killing the Swan’e IP address keeps changing, it seems they have a professional hacker who added a firewall. But, who am I? No matter how tough the firewall is, it’s nothing to me.” Ye Cixing clicked her tongue, “I’ve sent all the addresses and timestamps to your email.”
“Okay, thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. By the way, Lu Yang, I asked around about Jiang Yanzhou.”
Ye Cixing raised an eyebrow slightly, “Do you know what I found out?” Lu Yang tapped her phone while asking, “What?”
“One of my friends is related to the Jiang family, and he said that Jiang Yanzhou can sit there without uttering a word, not even shifting his buttocks while reading ‘A Brief History of Time’ for three hours. After finishing ‘A Brief History of Time,’ he proceeds to read ‘Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind.’ He’s a total freak, like a replica of a caveman.. This is not okay!”
