Chapter 401: I don't have any skills to like you
The clouds tried hard to hold the sun back from falling. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through every endless road and also fell on the rows of low buildings in the small town.
On the side of the road, there were some tiny elementary school students, wearing green and white standard school uniforms, holding flags and lined up to go home together.
"Just asking if you are powerful or not?"
Li Qiuyang excitedly reviewed the game he had just played with Xu Cheng.
Just now, after fighting for a while, Guo Zining didn't want to fight with Li Qiuyang anymore, but he couldn't retreat, so in the end Xu Cheng had to go up and fight Li Qiuyang.
Both of them have average skills, and they all use wild methods, so the fight is just a back-and-forth.
“Great, great.”
Xu Cheng patted Li Qiuyang's shoulder in admiration and said, "This is truly amazing."
Li Qiuyang heard the sarcastic tone in Xu Cheng's words and looked at him strangely.
"What's wrong, Old Xu? I just beat you by a few balls. Is that a big deal?"
“…”
Xu Cheng couldn't stand his understanding even more. "Don't flatter yourself. Don't you know who won more, you or me?"
"Okay, okay, you're being sarcastic, can't I just obey you?"
“…”
Xu Cheng was completely helpless.
These two idiots haven't realized yet that not only have they made no progress with Guo Zining today, but their favorability rating has also dropped drastically.
"Then thank you."
They were losing interest and wanted to go home.
Xu Cheng sent Lin Wanzhou back on the way, and Li Qiuyang happened to be able to send Guo Zining back.
"I don't need him to send me."
When it was suggested that Li Qiuyang take her there, Guo Zining turned his head away with disgust.
"Why can't I afford to play..." Li Qiuyang muttered and complained.
When Guo Zining heard this, he glared at him fiercely.
Why do you want to kick this guy so much?
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, Guo Zining. It's very dangerous for a girl to walk alone on the road at night. What if something happens? It would be safer to let Li Qiuyang take you there." Xu Cheng stood up and said at this time.
Guo Zining still respected Xu Cheng's words. After all, he had an inexplicable temperament that always made people convinced.
Lin Wanzhou also stood up, took her arm and whispered to her.
"Just let Li Qiuyang take you there. At worst you can just ignore him."
"……Oh well."
Guo Zining agreed reluctantly, and after saying goodbye to Lin Wanzhou and Xu Cheng, he walked towards his home without looking back.
After walking for a long time, she found that Li Qiuyang seemed to be nowhere around her. She felt empty in her heart all of a sudden, and turned back nervously, only to find that Li Qiuyang was not far behind her.
"Why are you sneaking around?"
Although he felt a kind of joy in his heart, Guo Zining was still unforgiving in his words.
"You don't want to see me, so I'll stay away from you to avoid making you angry." Li Qiuyang said with self-awareness.
After hearing what he said, Guo Zining felt both angry and amused.
She opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. She turned around and walked forward again.
But my mentality seemed to have changed a lot at this time.
Knowing that there was a guy following me, even though he wasn't very reliable, I felt more at ease and walked more easily.
The distance was not far, so the two did not take the bus. They walked through several streets until they came to a T-junction. After turning in from the intersection, they could see Guo Zining's residential area.
The girl glanced in the direction of her home and paused.
She hesitated.
Should I say goodbye to Li Qiuyang?
Just symbolic!
As she was thinking, she turned her head quietly, and at this moment her eyes met Li Qiuyang's.
As if she was electrocuted, her gaze instantly shifted and she looked behind Li Qiuyang.
"I, I'm going back..."
She mumbled something indistinctly.
Just as I was about to turn around, I heard the voice of Li Zhutou calling me.
"Guo Zining, wait a moment."
Guo Zining hesitated for a few seconds, and finally stopped, turned around, and looked at Li Qiuyang again with a strange expression.
"what?"
"...Let me tell you something."
Li Qiuyang seemed a little nervous.
"If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now." Guo Zining's attitude towards him remained the same as always.
Although they have gone to their respective universities, isn't Li Qiuyang still the same Li Qiuyang?
Why should she be polite to him?
This has always been the relationship between her and him.
During Guo Zining's high school days, the thing that occupied the vast majority of his memories and time was definitely the quarrels with this pig-head.
That's a pretty colorful part.
Sometimes she would laugh triumphantly because she had won an argument with him, and sometimes she would be so upset by what this guy said that she would start cursing and fighting with him. Sometimes, she would be so angry that the good-for-nothing would secretly drop her little pearl.
Perhaps to some extent, it can be considered as crying and laughing for him?
Guo Zining shook his head, interrupting this strange idea.
Why think about him so much?
Anyway, deleting him from my life will be the last step.
When she returned to reality, Guo Zining realized that Li Qiuyang had walked over to her at some point and was standing not far in front of her, staring at her shyly.
"What do you want to do?" Guo Zining asked.
"Ah?" Li Qiuyang was stunned.
Guo Zining folded his hands over his chest and looked at him warily.
"I advise you to think about it. This is my territory. If I shout, at least ten neighbors who know me will come and beat you up."
"…I didn't mean to do anything to you."
Li Qiuyang said helplessly. He hesitated for a long time and finally squeezed out a few words from his mouth hesitantly .
"Guo Zining, I'm not actually in a relationship... I know you're not in a relationship either."
"Eh? Eh? Eh?"
Guo Zining's pupils dilated. The feeling of having her lie exposed in front of her made her want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. But when she heard that Li Qiuyang was not in a relationship, she was so excited that she wanted to jump out of the crack in the ground.
So the whole person is in a strange state of duality.
"Who, who told you that I'm not in a relationship anymore..."
"Anyway, I just know it. Okay, that's all I want to tell you. I, I'm leaving first."
After speaking his true feelings, Li Qiuyang felt embarrassed to stay any longer.
"Wait."
Guo Zining shouted from behind.
As soon as he heard her calling him, Li Qiuyang turned his head back quickly like a sniper.
"What's wrong?"
“…”
After hesitating for a while, Guo Zining took out the keychain from his pocket. It was the reward for passing the secret room today.
She handed the one with the bear pattern to Li Qiuyang.
"Here you go. This should have been yours."
After saying this, he felt as if there was something else behind his words, so he quickly explained.
"You also participated today. Without you... we definitely wouldn't have been able to win..."
The girl's face became redder and redder as she spoke. She didn't know why she had to explain. Finally, she threw the explanation into Li Qiuyang's hand, said "I'm going back", and ran away.
Li Qiuyang was left standing alone, staring at the key chain in his hand. Finally, he scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly.
…
"You must have instigated Li Qiuyang today. I think he's been restless today."
"I just taught him a few simple moves. It's a pity that he is a rotten tree that cannot be carved." Xu Cheng said, resting his head on his arm.
"Can you give me some advice? It sounds like you are quite good at it."
"Of course. Love is a very technical thing. How can you do it without some skills? It just so happens that I don't have any other advantages, but I am good at helping people solve love problems. People nicknamed me the love expert."
"oh."
Lin Wanzhou nodded thoughtfully. "It turns out that I was also defeated by your skills, Master Xu."
"That's different."
Xu Cheng stopped at this time, took the girl's small hand, and looked into her eyes very seriously.
"To be honest, I have occasionally read a lot of little tricks to make girls like me, but when I meet you, my mind immediately goes blank like a piece of white paper. I only know that I will be very happy when I am with you, and nothing else."
Lin Wanzhou listened to his words word for word.
Each of his words was like a bubble in a carbonated drink, bursting in the girl's heart again and again, and the girl's chest was filled with excitement and sweetness.
"Really?"
"Really, I don't have any skills with you, it's all emotion."
"I don't believe it."
Lin Wanzhou turned her head cunningly, with her hands behind her back, "Unless..."
"Unless what?"
The girl glanced at the endless stream of passers-by around her with her beautiful eyes.
"Unless you just shout to everyone right here, Lin Wanzhou, I love you."
“…”
Facing this bustling commercial street, Xu Cheng opened his mouth without any hesitation.
"Lin... um, um?"
Before he could say anything, he felt his face being grabbed by Lin Wanzhou's small hand, and then his lips were covered by her small soft touch.
She closed her eyes and kissed him seriously.
There were pedestrians everywhere, and many of them looked sideways.
In the center of the city, when the last glimmer of orange hung on the horizon, the sun was sandwiched between two buildings.
Right in the center of the crowd, the girl stood on tiptoes and bravely kissed the boy in front of her.
This time, Lin Wanzhou was no longer afraid of someone watching her.
Whether they are strangers or acquaintances, whether they are five, fifty or five hundred.
When she said the previous sentence, she was thinking, if Xu Cheng dared to say that he liked her in front of so many people, then she could certainly kiss him in front of so many people.
There is no need to explain why I like you.
A kiss that can make a girl lose her courage is the best proof.
Lip parting.
Her eyes were as charming as soft ripples of water. She glanced at Xu Cheng, then lowered her head and buried it in his arms.
Xu Cheng held her in his arms, her body trembling slightly, and held his treasure.
He felt that he was the richest man in the world.
The love between two people is never equal, and there is no fixed proportional relationship between input and output in a relationship.
But Xu Cheng felt very satisfied. He felt that the girl he loved him as much as he loved her, and the degree of her return to him was as much as his efforts.
"Lin Wanzhou, I like you!"
He still laughed and shouted.
Facing the surprised, amused or smiling eyes of the people around you.
"Ahhh, this is so embarrassing." The girl buried her head in his chest and complained quietly, "Why are you still shouting?"
"I don't know either. Maybe this is what they call, speaking one's mind?"
Xu Cheng felt that for a moment he understood the sword masters in fantasy novels. They would always suddenly show you a pair of green snakes in their hands and call for a sword.
It's not for fighting, it's just that this sword is not fast enough.
He was almost in the same situation. His mind and chest were filled with love, so he shouted out loud.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
He pulled Lin Wanzhou as if he had done something wrong, and the two of them quickly slipped away for a long distance, then stopped and gasped for breath.
"Is it exciting?"
Xu Cheng smiled and glanced at Lin Wanzhou.
The girl thought about it and felt something was wrong.
"That's not fair. They wouldn't have recognized you even if you called them, but you called out my name."
"Then let them know the name of that happy girl."
Xu Cheng rubbed her head with a chuckle, and Lin Wanzhou slapped his hand, then re-tidied her hair.
"Oh, by the way, did you know that our family is also moving away?"
"Ah? Where are you moving to?"
"you guess."
"???"
Xu Cheng never imagined that Lin Wanzhou's family moved into the same neighborhood in the city center as theirs.
He also had a hard time guessing what Gao Manman and Lin's father were thinking.
If you think more deeply, could it be that he was thinking that after he married Lin Wanzhou, he could live closer to his daughter, in the same community?
If you think about it superficially, their community is indeed one of the best in Jinghai, with very good conditions, quality and housing types, so there is nothing wrong with living there.
However, Xu Cheng still felt that Gao Manman was too conservative.
Wouldn't it be more convenient if I could live directly next to them?
As for neighbors, no matter from which angle or which group you look at it from, it is quite convenient.
Lin Wanzhou would come to his house from time to time to pet the cat, definitely to pet the cat and not to do anything else.
We are all adults, how could he have any bad intentions?
I got together with my high school friends. After one semester of college, everyone's temperament seemed to have changed a little.
However, Pei Xueqi, who is still a sophomore, is still single. Xu Cheng is very cautious and doesn't let her touch his own Lin Wanzhou, for fear that she may have some problems with her sexual orientation.
After all, the senior is quite pretty, but it is quite suspicious that she can't find a partner.
Xia Yue has reached the most stressful half of the semester. Her grades are now relatively stable. She is much better at studying liberal arts than she was before studying science. Her goals are all to go to schools in Yenching University, and her scores are not low.
However, Qiao Yiming did not show up during this winter vacation. In his words, the cooperation with Weibo is very crucial and he has to be in Yanjing to keep an eye on it the whole time.
This year's New Year was quite festive, but Xu Cheng received less New Year's money this year.
After the Chinese New Year and the Lantern Festival, it was almost time for school to start, and Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou returned to school together.
What will be different in the new semester?
Xu Cheng didn’t know either.
But at least I have to move my place of residence...
