Soon, the two of them arrived at the forest park.
The sky had gradually darkened. The faint lights in the park covered the entire park. The tall and straight poplar trees, the evergreen pine trees, and the swaying elm and willow trees were all tree species in the sub-frigid zone. However, this did not affect the scenery of the park. Instead, it brought a different kind of interest to the park. The crisscrossing paths, the unique sculptures, and the relaxed and lazy people made this place seem exceptionally harmonious. There was no tension of every second, and there was no competition. Everything was slowly moving towards night.
Edward was excited, but Damoni still looked as cold as ever. They found a tree and sat next to each other. The dim light shone on their faces. There was no romance in their coy nervousness.
Is this our first date? Does this mean that she has accepted my love? Was what Liangliang said really right? One question after another came up in the depths of Edward's heart, constantly questioning himself. He was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
For a moment, Edward's performance put the two of them in an awkward position…
"Are your grandparents here?" Dai Mengni broke the awkwardness.
"Not yet." Edward replied.
"Are you still going to live alone?" Dai Mengni asked.
"Yes." Edward answered her question.
Just like that, they continued to chat casually and did not talk about the key points.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Dai Mengni's face was getting blurry in the darkness, but this did not affect her beauty. Her angular face and orderly facial features made her look even more beautiful and mesmerizing.
"You're really good-looking." Edward said emotionally.
Dai Mengni chuckled like a lily in the dark night. "No way."
His voice didn't seem to be cold anymore. It was as if there was a hint of gentleness in the coldness, making Edward even more excited. "I'm serious, especially when you're wearing your school uniform.”
Dai Mengni looked at her school uniform out of habit and smiled again, as a response to Edward's praise.
Looking at Damoni's smile, Edward suddenly remembered the chocolate he bought to create romance." Oh right, I bought you a box of chocolate.”As he spoke, Edward opened his bag and took out some chocolate to pass to Dai Mengni.
" Crystal Love." Dai Mengni read the words on the box and smiled."It's pretty good. I like it very much."
Edward was so happy that he was almost going crazy. This was a compliment, and it was the compliment she wanted the most. Whether it was sincere or not, it made him go crazy.
Looking at the increasing number of smiles on Damony's face, Edward gradually regained his usual calmness, and the topic of conversation became more and more relaxed.
"I rarely see you smile in class. Why?”Edward finally asked the question that had been on his mind for the past year.
"I was born with it. Maybe I don't like to smile.”Dai Mengni answered like a child as she played with the box of chocolates.
"I thought you wouldn't laugh." Edward teased.
"How can that be?" Dai Mengni laughed again.
"You still look good when you smile. I wish I had a camera to take pictures of your smile. It's too precious.”Edward said sincerely.
"No, I'm embarrassed.”Dai Mengni's smile became even brighter.
"Really, I'm not lying to you. Anyway, I feel that it's the most precious thing I've ever seen.”Edward quickly explained.
Damony looked at Edward, who was acting like a child, and was deep in thought. She did not say anything and returned to her usual coldness.
This change in Edward's eyes made him afraid." Did I say something wrong?”。
Seeing Edward's nervous expression, she thought of a child who had made a mistake." No, no.”Dai Mengni explained.
"Then I can rest assured." Edward's hanging heart was finally relieved.
Just like that, the two of them chatted for a while longer. They were very happy about other things, especially for Edward. Because of Dai Mengni's performance, it finally proved that she was not a fairy. She was a human, and a woman.
The sky had completely darkened. The summer nights in the north were exceptionally cool. There were occasional chirps of summer insects and occasional breezes. The quiet night set off the warm atmosphere. Edward tried his best to enjoy all of this. He hoped that he could just be with Dai Mengni peacefully for the rest of his life, until the end of time and the end of the world. However, the truth was the truth, and he had to get up and leave eventually.
"I've been out for a long time.”Dai Mengni said reluctantly.
"Alright then." Although he was extremely reluctant, Edward could not ask for anything else, because he swore that he would make the girl beside him happy for the rest of his life and would satisfy her every request.
In Edward's eyes, this extremely short journey was over in the blink of an eye, and this date that was not considered a date ended just like that. However, this was a turning point in Edward's love world. He finally knew that Damoni was not a fairy. There was hope for him to pursue her. This was a great encouragement to him, making him more confident in himself and full of longing for his love.
When he got home, he was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep. He finally tasted the sweetness of love. Everything seemed beautiful and harmonious. He pulled out his guitar and played a song passionately. Then, he sang to his heart's content until he was exhausted. Only then did he fall asleep in satisfaction.
After experiencing an emotional breakthrough, Edward saw the hope of his own love. He quickened his pace on the road to his dream. He launched an all-out attack on Dai Mengni, and with the help of Leng Liang and Su Fei, everything went very smoothly. Even though Edward often did things that seemed ridiculous now, such as sending roses or writing love poems, Damoni gladly accepted them. Ever since then, Edward had bathed in the river of love and enjoyed the spring breeze brought by Damoni.
At this moment, the square cultural park was already bustling with people like a busy city. This was the largest leisure square in the county. Every evening after a meal, the people here liked to come here to relax. Some were single or had families. Some were couples, some were friends, but no matter what, everyone liked to come here to relax. Of course, Edward and Liangliang were no exception.
The street food stalls were already packed with people, but Edward, Liangliang, Sophie, and Damoni occupied seats at the edge of the pergola. Sophie would flirt with Liangliang from time to time, while Damoni would sit next to Edward. It was clearly arranged by Liangliang and Sophie. Although the two of them were not as intimate as Sophie and the others, they were not as awkward as before. They would chat from time to time. Eating barbecue, drinking beer, and bringing beautiful women. Everything seemed so enviable, but the truth was not as good as imagined.
"Have you called them?" Edward asked.
"I did. Aren't you coming?" Leng Liang replied.
"Why?" Edward asked.
"For dreams, for tomorrow, for a beautiful future.”Liang Liang replied helplessly.
"Sigh, money. For you, I even missed out on beautiful scenery. Is it worth it? If it were me, I would spend thousands of dollars just to make a beauty smile.”Edward looked at Dai Mengni and said deliberately. His intentions were obvious.
Seeing Edward's lack of ambition, Sophie was the first to launch a counterattack. "Do you think everyone misses the two of you? You live like wild cranes every day and only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. Only people like Xiao Shi and Gao Fengliang had ideals and goals, which could give girls a sense of security.”
"So you're saying that Leng Liang can't give you a sense of security?”Edward retorted.
"Him? I was bewitched at that time. Otherwise, who would have fallen for him?”Sophie looked at Leng Liang and pretended to mock him.
"Then I have to thank that ghost. Otherwise, I wouldn't have such good fortune.”Leng Liang mocked.
"Of course." Sophie did not stand on ceremony. Just like that, the two of them started arguing again.
Edward and the others were already used to it. As long as they were together, this was a must. Looking at their quarreling, they were no longer as cool as they usually were, and Sophie was even fiercer. She completely treated Edward and Damoni as air, making the two of them not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Order some milk tofu skewers. I think you like them.”Edward looked at Dai Mengni and asked tenderly.
"It's about time. Forget it." Dai Mengni rejected him.
"It's okay. I'll order a few more skewers." Damony couldn't stop the stubborn Edward.
"Sophie is right. You have to study hard. Your ranking in the mid-term exam has dropped again.”Damony lectured Edward with a straight face.
Their relationship had improved since that time, fundamentally improved. Edward no longer thought of her as an unreachable dream but a person of flesh and blood. They could finally stand on the same platform and talk. Dai Mengni was no longer as cold to Edward as she used to be. They were far from a couple, but they were definitely good friends. They often talked about their dreams and life. It was also from their mutual understanding that Edward realized that Damoni was not as innocent as she appeared to be, and his dream became clearer and clearer. As time passed, he could feel the fervor in Dai Mengni's heart. Her desire for success and her persistence in her dreams were beyond his imagination. However, it was precisely because of this that Edward was even more infatuated with her. Although he knew that their personalities were very different, she firmly believed that their recent love could accommodate everything. This was Edward's seventeen-year-old thinking. After what happened in the future, it seemed that his current thinking was so naive, ridiculous, and even stupid.
"It's slipping again, but I'm too lazy to learn. When I see Extinction's old face, I feel despair for the future.”Edward said honestly.
"I see. Then don't you think that your thoughts are very naive and childish? Is it worth it to ruin your future for someone you don't like?”Damoni continued to lecture Edward in all seriousness.
Men could be looked down upon by the world, but they could never be looked down upon by the person they liked. Damon's words left Edward speechless. He took a few gulps of beer but did not give any response.
Of course, all of this was seen in Leng Liang's eyes. "Alright, Xiao Sen, you two don't have to be unhappy over your so-called ideals. We're here today to relieve stress, so why do you have to be like this?”
"That's right, Mengni. I don't want to criticize you, but I'm afraid these two guys won't make any progress in their lives. However, they still have nothing to say to their brothers and girlfriends. I don't expect him to succeed. I just hope that he will treat me well for the rest of my life.”Seeing that the situation was not right, Sophie also came to help.
Dai Mengni didn't say anything, and Edward, who had suffered a blow, didn't say anything either. They were both silently thinking about their own right and wrong.
"Alright, alright. Let's go to the water park and take a look.”Leng Liang suggested.
"Go ahead." Edward said.
Sophie bought some bamboo slips, and the four of them set off for the water park. Noel had four leisure parks, namely the water park, the marsh park, the forest park, and the square cultural park. The culture of the wet land is close to each other on the water.
In a short while, the four of them arrived at the water park.
