"I climbed the mountain, admired the sunset, and watched the sunrise. I really gained a lot from being with you!”
"Is that so? Then can you be with me in the future?”Kim Ji-woo said gently.
"Let's go back." The morning sea breeze messed up Lan Xiyuan's long hair and her heart, which was already very hard to calm down. Lan Xiyuan said as she brushed her long hair that was blown to her forehead.
At this time, the tide had receded, so it should be possible to go down the mountain.
After being soaked in the tide for a night, the road down the mountain became slippery and muddy, making it even more difficult to walk.
For Lan Xiyuan, it was even more impossible for her to continue on her own.
Lan Xiyuan took the first step carefully, but Kim Ji-woo was one step ahead of her. His back was facing her as he bent down his 180-centimeter body.
"Come, I'll carry you." His voice was very soft.
"What about that little fish?"
"Take it down with you. Perhaps its home is near the mountain.”
"Yes."
Lan Xiyuan still held the little fish in her arms and gently lay on Kim Jiwoo's back.
The mountain road was difficult to walk on, and one could clearly see Kim Ji-woo's deep and shallow footprints.
The little fish was sandwiched between them and looked a little uncomfortable.
"This is the first time in my life that I've carried you and the dog down the mountain.”
"There's a first time for everything." Lan Xiyuan grabbed Jin Jiyu's neck tightly. Because the road was difficult to walk, Jin Jiyu staggered a little, afraid that the little fish would fall out of her arms.
"This is also my first time liking a girl.”
After Lan Xiyuan heard this, she looked around.
"You're talking about the girl on the Internet, right? "Actually, online dating is quite good. I think it's especially romantic. Two people who don't know each other start from a heart-to-heart exchange. Also," Lan Xiyuan was saying that when Kim Ji-woo suddenly stopped moving forward.
"I'm talking about us. It has nothing to do with her. Don't you think we're fated? From the first rainy day, to me going to the same school, and then becoming classmates and deskmates, isn't all of this enough to prove the fate between us?”
"Fate? Do you believe me? I never believe in fate. To me, the so-called fate is nothing more than the intentional choices and decisions made by people at a specific place and time. Perhaps some choices are unintentional, or some decisions are forced, resulting in the so-called fate. On the street, there were different people going to different places. When they passed by the same road, they brushed past each other, which became the so-called fate. On the bus, different people were going to the same place, and meeting on the bus also became the so-called fate. But was this really fate? He just wanted to find a suitable synonym for some short-term or long-term interactions. These were just the developments of the situation. If I hadn't chosen to hold an umbrella for you back then, I wouldn't have known you. If the school leaders hadn't decided to let me be the transfer student back then, I wouldn't have interacted with you. If I hadn't decided to come here with you back then, none of this would have happened, right?”
"Then how many of these choices and decisions you made were intentional or unintentional? How many of them are forced to do so?"
Lan Xiyuan remained silent.
"Can you promise to be my girlfriend?”Jin Zhiyu suddenly said.
" Um…" Lan Xiyuan was stunned as if a sledgehammer had hit her head.
"Why? Can you give me a reason to agree?”
"Because I want you to like me and also to prove the 'fate' in my heart. Is this reason enough?”
"Not enough." Lan Xiyuan looked a little flustered.
"Are you hiding from something? Or are you afraid of falling in love with me? My intuition tells me that you like me, but there is a reason that prevents you from liking me. It is because you are different from other girls that you will not accept me and dare not love me, right?”
"Where? I'm not afraid of anything. I don't like you. That's just your misconception. I just want to say that I don't want a relationship that's built on sympathy and pity. I'm not a timid little girl. I'll love you if I want to. I'll do whatever I want. I won't give up on love just because I'm different from other girls. I won't use my 'difference'.”
"I'm sorry, this is not my intention. I just like you purely. There are no impurities in it. Why can't you give us a chance to love each other?”
"I've already given you a chance, but you've already given up, haven't you? I know that you like that blue-faced friend on the internet, not me. You just want to be fair to your friend and not break your promise to him, so you said you like me. I know all this. No one knows that I'm the person who held the umbrella for you that day, so you don't have to do this.”
Kim Ji-woo was silent. After a while, he said, I didn't expect my acting skills to be so bad. I wanted to test if you liked me, the perfect prince in everyone's hearts. In the end, I seem to be a little disappointed!
"No matter how perfect you are, you're not money. How can you make everyone like you? Isn't that right, the perfect prince?" Lan Xiyuan smiled. Her smile was like a sunflower that had been soaked in the sea for a night. Under the morning sun, her smile was salty and bitter.
"I like you, Prince Kim Ji-woo.”After the salty and bitter smile disappeared, Lan Xiyuan whispered into Kim Ji-woo's ear. Her words were very soft, and they echoed in Jin Jiyu's ears.
"Hmm?" Kim Ji-woo thought he had misheard.
"I said I like you. What do you think? Now you can not be disappointed, you can think that all the girls have been defeated by your perfect feet!”
"But I don't feel any sense of accomplishment at all!”
"Of course not, because I lied to you when I said I liked you!”Lan Xiyuan gently knocked on Jin Jiyu's head.。"I didn't expect that someone with such a high IQ like you would be fooled by me!”
Kim Ji-woo was silent and did not say anything else.
"Alright, I know you hate it when people lie to you. I won't lie to you anymore. As your friend, I definitely won't touch your bottom line.”
"Friends?"
"Yes, you are my friend."
Kim Ji-woo did not say anything else. He just squeezed out a stiff smile from the corner of his mouth and said," Okay, we are friends, best friends.”
