Chapter 6: Confessing under the stars is the most romantic thing 2
"Okay, I promise you." Gao Yutian had obviously been struggling with his conscience for a long time. After three minutes, he finally made up his mind, stared at Huang Ruo, and nodded heavily.
"Okay, deal!" Although this method of selling my best friend is not very kind, I am also doing this for Huang Ruo's happiness. If Gao Yutian can't even do these little things, he is not worthy of my lovely Huang Ruo, right? I high-fived Gao Yutian three times, and Gao Yutian and I completely turned from enemies to friends. He decided to betray his friend and stand on my side to be my double agent.
Ah, I feel the sky is getting brighter, and it seems that dawn is not far from the darkness.
With my deliberate matchmaking, the shy Huang Ruo finally agreed to have dinner with Gao Yutian. Gao Yutian thanked Huang Ruo profusely and left with her. Of course, I was too embarrassed to be a huge light bulb, so I had to go home alone and eat the disgusting instant noodles. I was also envious of Huang Ruo for having such a suitor. Although Gao Yutian was definitely not my cup of tea, look at me. On the surface, I was envied and hated. There were so many girls in school who wanted to kill me with their eyes that they could fill a truck. I was even prevented from participating in the cheerleading performance. But in fact, I was just a servant and didn't even have the opportunity to meet other good boys... Thinking of this, I ate another mouthful of instant noodles and drank a mouthful of soup with resentment.
While I was feeling sorry for myself, my cell phone suddenly rang. I took it out of my bag and saw that it was Yu Muchen calling. Why did Yu Muchen not let me go when I was eating instant noodles in loneliness and misery? I stared at the shining cell phone screen for a while while biting the instant noodle fork, and finally answered the call against my will.
"Hello, it took you so long to answer the phone. What are you doing?" Yu Muchen seemed to be getting impatient waiting.
"What are you doing? I was eating instant noodles. I just answered the phone slowly." I also grumbled in dissatisfaction.
A long sigh came from the other end of the phone: "Since we are eating, I won't bother with you. You have ten minutes to finish the instant noodles, and then I will wait for you downstairs. We will go to the pet grooming shop to pick up Mousse. I will take it to have its hair trimmed. The weather is hot, and it will be very uncomfortable if it always has so much hair. If you don't see me when you come down, just wait; if you come down and I'm here, you just wait for me..." After that , Yu Muchen hung up the phone with a "click" without waiting for my answer.
"Tsk!" I clicked my tongue. He always ordered people like this and stipulated how many minutes I had to finish my instant noodles. However, the more Yu Muchen did this, the stronger my rebellious psychology became. Besides, I also had an insider now. His allies had already sided with me because of "the blindness of love". Hum, hum, hum, thinking of this, the instant noodles became delicious...
After eating instant noodles for about 15 minutes, I drank the last mouthful of soup contentedly, patted my belly and went downstairs. As a result, Yu Muchen seemed to have been waiting downstairs for a few minutes.
"Too slow. Didn't you say it should be resolved within 10 minutes?" Under the street light, Yu Muchen's handsome face was cold. He twisted the corners of his mouth and revealed a sinister smile.
"Ah... I'm sorry, because the instant noodles are too hot, so... I ate slowly. Let's go!" Without waiting for Yu Muchen to continue his outburst, I immediately changed the subject, "If we go late, Mousse will be waiting anxiously, and I also want to see Mousse's new look. Hurry up!" I almost ran towards the pet shop.
The pet shop is not far from my home. If there is a dog-loving owner like Yu Muchen, there will also be a dog like Mousse who loves his owner. So just as I said, when we arrived, Mousse, who had his hair cut, was already wagging his tail and circling in front of the pet shop.
As soon as he saw Yu Muchen's figure appear in the dark night, Mousse's eyes lit up and he flew over.
"Ahahaha, stop licking Mousse, it's so itchy." Yu Muchen, who was licked by Mousse, laughed from the bottom of his heart.
This smile completely hit my heart. Why can a person smile so beautifully? Although I hate him so much, when his obsidian eyes narrowed with a smile and his thin lips smiled, I completely forgot my dissatisfaction. That kind of smile that came from the heart was like the only warm light in the dark night. Yu Muchen's face also exuded a soft luster, making him look even more handsome. I have seen him smile in many ways: a pretended elegant smile, a cold smile, and a sarcastic smile. Although Yu Muchen in every smile is dazzling, only this smile makes me want to fall in love with him...
Oh no! I must have been imagining things because Huang Ruo was in love. I shook my head vigorously and cast my gaze towards Mousse beside me. When I saw this... I also laughed.
"Ahahaha..." I couldn't stop laughing. "So, so... so ugly!" I almost rolled on the ground holding my stomach. Aren't pet grooming shops considered great? Didn't I pay for it? Why could they still make the mousse cut so ugly?
Mousse, who was basically completely bare with only a head of hair left, looked at me in confusion, while Yu Muchen's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Ahem... Well, I just thought of something else. It was so funny and it has nothing to do with mousse." I quickly made an excuse for myself.
Yu Muchen gave me a cold look and walked back with Mousse. I had no choice but to follow him slowly. Well, it was good enough that he didn't lose his temper with me.
The man and the dog walked quietly in front of me. Looking at their backs, I began to daydream again. Thinking of Xu Yasha's rejection of me, and thinking of how I couldn't get on the stage no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't help feeling a little empty inside.
"Ah... it hurts!" Thinking of this, Yu Muchen suddenly stopped for some reason and I bumped into his back.
"Are you worried about something?" Turning around, Yu Muchen spoke to me, which was unusual for him.
"No, no." I shook my head quickly.
"Tell me what's wrong. I am your master. If a servant is always thinking about other things, how can he serve his master well?" Yu Muchen pretended to be willing to help me solve my problems, which really made me feel flattered. However, perhaps because of this quiet and lonely night, I actually had the urge to confide in him.
"Actually, it's not a big deal..." I spoke softly. I thought I would only vent my criticism to him, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would have a calm conversation with him. "You know, I'm in the cheerleading team. Although I'm no longer excluded, the captain Xu Yasha still cares about me. The school sports meet will be held soon. Normally, the cheerleaders will perform at the opening ceremony." I looked at the starry sky.
"Well, I know this. Our football team's performance is right behind the cheerleaders." Yu Muchen naturally continued what I said.
"As a member of the cheerleading team, I also wanted to perform on stage. But when I went to talk to Xu Yasha about this today, she discouraged me..." I stared dejectedly at Mousse's skillful limbs.
"What did she say about you?" Yu Muchen turned his head and asked me.
"What else can I say? It's just that I'm stupid and my movements are not standard at all. It's laughable that I want to perform at the opening ceremony in this state. In fact, I know that I really... really can't compare to others, but I also work very hard. It's a pity that I can't show my efforts to others." I stopped and arrived at the door of my house. I had to say goodbye to Yu Muchen.
"Oh, we're home now. I'll be leaving first... Just listen to what I said casually!" I waved at him in an exaggerated manner and walked into the house.
"Wait...you, you really want this opportunity? This opportunity to perform?" Yu Muchen suddenly grabbed me and asked.
"Well, of course I hope so, but since I really don't have the strength, I have no choice but to try harder and wait for next time!" I turned around and smiled, then slipped into the house.
10 minutes later, I received a call unexpectedly.
"Hello, is this Ding Xiaoxiao? This is Xu Yasha." Oh my god, Xu Yasha called me! I was so flustered that I didn't know what to do.
"It's like this, I agree that you can attend the opening ceremony." Xu Yasha's sudden words made me very happy.
"Really? Captain? Thank you! I will try my best..." Unfortunately, Xu Yasha hung up the phone before I could finish my sentence.
But being able to attend the opening ceremony was like a dream to me. I pinched myself hard and screamed in pain, then I realized it was not a dream, it was real! Great! I shouted long live.
"I can go to the opening ceremony, I can really go to the opening ceremony!" The clock has already pointed to 12 o'clock in the evening, and I am still rolling around in bed wrapped in the sheets, unable to sleep.
"Haha, Xiaoruo, I can go to the opening ceremony now. You must come to see me!" I stood up and whispered in Huang Ruo's ear, but she had fallen asleep 20 minutes ago and was completely unable to share my joy.
I rolled out of bed at once. The stars in the night sky were blinking at me. Come to think of it, I seemed to have seen such a beautiful starry sky before...
"Ah! Make a wish!" I suddenly thought of the night when Wei Tingyi took me to the mysterious little room full of telescopes, the unprecedented shining stars I saw in that room, and the wish I made to the stars at the end: "Become a qualified cheerleader, a first-class cheerleader." Now, I can perform at the opening ceremony. Doesn't it prove that I am one step closer to my wish?
A long time ago, I heard someone say that if a wish is fulfilled, you must fulfill it, otherwise your future wishes will not come true!
"Uh... I should go there to fulfill my wish..." I muttered to myself in the dark, wrapped in the bed sheet. But it was so dark... It would be too difficult for me to go out. Besides, there was no way to get into the room without a key.
Thinking of this, I dialed Wei Tingyi's number. Although it was a bit rude at this time, I still pressed the call button.
"Hello? Ding Xiaoxiao? What's wrong with you?" Perhaps he didn't expect me to call him so late, Wei Tingyi answered the phone almost immediately, with some anxiety in his voice.
"Ah... well, it's nothing. I just couldn't sleep tonight. I wonder if I could ask you to go to the place where we watched the stars last time?" I asked cautiously.
"Okay!" Wei Tingyi agreed almost without thinking, "Wait for me a moment, I'll pick you up downstairs of your house, it's on my way anyway." After giving these instructions, Wei Tingyi said "goodbye" and hung up the phone.
10 minutes later, he showed up at my door as promised, and I dressed up and waved to him. Even if it wasn't a date, the late-night meeting was exciting.
"Let's go." Wei Tingyi said nothing and took me to that magical place. Along the way, the gentle night breeze, the chirping of insects, and the fragrance of plants seemed like something that was hard to reach on weekdays. I never knew that the scene that Stone was used to seeing at night could be so beautiful.
Wei Tingyi and I walked in silence, but in tacit understanding, as if we were good friends who had known each other for more than ten years. Even without saying a word, we could still feel each other's mood. Wei Tingyi still wore his plain glasses, and it seemed that his gentle eyes looked a little more serious and cold through the lenses, but I knew that he was really a boy like a shota. Although he was a second-year student, he was actually one year younger than me. I would also stare at his perfect profile and wonder what life would be like if I had such an excellent and gentle brother.
The sudden sound of metal keys interrupted my wandering thoughts. Wei Tingyi and I were already standing in the mysterious room.
"Ah... Whenever I come here, I feel very comfortable." I stretched lazily. All the pain and depression in life can be cured here.
"I think so too." Wei Tingyi looked at me with a faint smile, which made me feel a little shy.
"However, you asked me to come here, so you must have something else to say to me. I felt like you wanted to say something to me just now!" Wei Tingyi's voice was like the calm lake water in summer. It seemed that he had seen everything I looked like just now.
"Well, there is good news." I couldn't wait to share my joy with Wei Tingyi. "Isn't the sports meet about to start? The cheerleading team will have a performance at the opening ceremony every year before the sports meet. Today, I was told that I can go to participate in the performance!" I said it in one breath. I was still too excited to control myself. I wanted to jump in front of Wei Tingyi and jump with him.
"Really? Congratulations! You practice so hard, I know you will succeed." Wei Tingyi's eyes also shone with joy.
"Pfft, but this is still thanks to you. If you hadn't helped me deal with the girls on the cheerleading team, I'm afraid I would still be bullied now!" I thanked him very sincerely. If he hadn't done that for me, I'm afraid I would still be bullied every day.
"No, actually it has nothing to do with me. You have the ability and determination, and I have long felt that you will succeed. Besides, as the president, it is my responsibility to help my classmates, so you don't have to thank me." As if feeling my burning gaze, Wei Tingyi's eyes flickered slightly, and he adjusted the frame of his glasses with his hand, as if trying to hide his emotions.
"Oh, we are too polite to push each other like this, maybe it's the credit of making a wish here..." I leaned against the window. The night is still beautiful today, and it is breathtaking. The stars from thousands and hundreds of millions of years ago are scattering their cold and warm afterglow, overlooking the earth.
"It's so beautiful..." I sighed softly.
"Yes...it's so beautiful..." Wei Tingyi also agreed with me, but when I looked away, I found that he was not looking at the stars in the sky at all, but just looking straight at me.
"You, what are you looking at me for?" For a moment, I was suddenly a little scared. There were so many things in Wei Tingyi's eyes that I couldn't bear it.
"Ding Xiaoxiao... maybe it's a little abrupt, but, are you willing to be with me?" Wei Tingyi suddenly held my hand and asked softly. His eyes were bright, more eye-catching than the stars in the sky. His delicate nose trembled slightly because of nervousness, like the wings of a dragonfly vibrating, and his lips were slightly open, waiting for my answer.
"Ah?... together?" I really didn't expect Wei Tingyi to ask so directly, and I was a little scared.
"Just be my lover. Although I know I am younger than you, don't worry, I will protect you well. I won't boss you around like Yu Muchen did. I will put you at the center of everything and won't let you suffer any grievances. I will let you always be so innocent and lovely." Wei Tingyi's eyes were like those of a drunk, losing focus and sinking.
At that moment, I also felt a little excited. Under such beautiful stars, in such a quaint and elegant room, an outstanding boy held my hands and made a promise to me - in such a scene, how many people can keep a cool head?
"Are you willing?" Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, Wei Tingyi just stared at me, then slowly approached me. His well-shaped lips were getting closer and closer to my face, and his breath as warm as jade gently swept across my face... Just when he was about to kiss my cheek, I suddenly jumped up and pushed Wei Tingyi away.
"Xiaoxiao?" Wei Ting was a little surprised, as if he had never thought that he would be pushed away.
"I... I'm sorry, I... I just haven't thought about it yet. No, I haven't thought about this problem... I, I don't know. Don't force me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" My mind was in a mess and even the words I said were intermittent and illogical.
It's so strange. This is obviously not the first time I kissed a boy. I took the initiative that time with Yu Muchen, but I didn't panic. What happened today? I do have a crush on Wei Tingyi, but... is that crush love? Is it the foundation for a relationship?
I don’t know...nothing can form an answer in my complicated mind. The only thing I can do is to move my legs and escape, from this place, from Wei Tingyi.
