Ever since New Year's Eve, Chenchen had been in a dreamlike state. She did not even have the energy to go to her relatives 'houses to ask for red packets.
"What do you think of this dress?" Chenchen dragged Ye Wen to shop for clothes. She wanted to dress up beautifully for the Lantern Festival.
"It's alright, but it's so thin. Aren't you cold?”Ye Wen asked worriedly.
"You only care about whether you're pretty or not.”Chenchen said as she gestured at her clothes.
Ye Wen was speechless. That day, Chu Xi gave her a call for no reason. Then, the next day, he appeared in front of her like a madman and kept shouting," He asked me to go see the lanterns." It was hopeless.
That day, Chenchen accompanied Lin Qianqi to eat dumplings. The two of them ate quietly and cleaned up. Then, Chenchen finally remembered that she wanted to go home. Lin Qianqi put on her coat and said," I'll send you home."
Chenchen felt that she would definitely laugh like a fool at that time.
At Chenchen's door, the two of them were so embarrassed that they did not know what to say. Chenchen stood there with her face red and her eyes lowered.
"Do you have time for the Lantern Festival?" Lin Qianqi smiled at her.
"Huh? Lantern Festival? "I have time, I have time." Chenchen only realized after a while that he was asking her out and quickly agreed, even though she always went out with Yang Jie and the others on that day every year.
"Well, didn't you say you were going to see the lanterns? I haven't seen it before. Let's go and see it together.”Lin Qianqi did not look at her at this moment. He looked elsewhere awkwardly.
" Sure, sure…" Chenchen realized that she was too excited, so she lowered her head and whispered," I love looking at lanterns.”
"Okay, then it's settled. Hurry up and go in. It's too cold outside.”Lin Qianqi urged Chenchen into the house. Chenchen's face was either red from the cold or she was shy, so he told her to come in and warm up.
"Hmm…Be careful when you go back.”Chenchen turned around and entered the house, feeling a little reluctant to part with her.
"You finally came back? Where's the soy sauce?" Before she could even enter the door, her mother had already bombarded her.
"Soy sauce? I forgot." Chenchen felt that she was in the wrong and could not help but nag.
" Hey, you've come back to your senses." Ye Wen chose a white dress for Chenchen and saw that she was in a daze.
Chenchen came back to her senses and giggled as she took the clothes and ran off to change.
She looked forward to that day.
Under Chenchen's anticipation, the Lantern Festival slowly came. Ever since she woke up in the morning, Chenchen had been in a nervous state. She had been thinking about what clothes she should wear and what bag she should carry.
She had only eaten a little for lunch just to get dressed, making her mother look at her like she was a monster.
He had arranged to meet Lin Qianqi at the entrance of the school he used to study at six o'clock. Chenchen went out at five o'clock, bouncing around. Yang Jie happened to be riding his bicycle back. When he saw Chenchen's blissful look, he could not help but spit," Little wife, are you so heartless as to abandon Ye Wen and me?”
"No, you guys have fun. Don't miss me too much.”Chenchen ran away after she finished speaking. She secretly cheered for Ye Wen. She had to make good use of such a good opportunity.
They were almost at school. Chenchen wondered if her hair was messy and if she looked good in her clothes…She realized that there was someone standing at the school gate. Could it be Lin Qianqi? Wasn't he an hour early? Could it be that he remembered the time wrongly? Chenchen walked closer to take a look. It was really Lin Qianqi.
"You…we agreed to meet at 6 o'clock, right? Did I remember wrongly?”Chenchen was sure that she did not remember wrongly. She had clearly read the message several times. If she did not remember wrongly, then…
"Yes…I had nothing to do at home, so I came early.”At this moment, Lin Qianqi felt that he had been too impatient. He did not expect them to arrive early.
Chenchen did not say anything when she heard that. She had also arrived early. Thinking of this, her face turned red again.
"Let's go to the school for a walk. "Lin Qianqi didn't have any feelings for high school. He didn't have any special memories and had always been studying. He hoped that when he gave his report card to his father, he would smile. It was just that he had never waited. When he was filling in his university application form, his father had specifically asked him to enter the X University. He had chosen his current university in a fit of pique, but his father only glanced at him indifferently and did not say anything.
Chenchen kept recalling the silly things she had done for Lin Qianqi in these corners. That was the place where she had squatted and peeked at him. That was the place where she had bumped into him. That was the place where she had stood there foolishly, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
"The school hasn't changed much. It's still the same.”Lin Qianqi said lightly.
"No, there used to be a tree there, but now it's gone. There used to be trees there, but now it's hard land.”Chenchen said very seriously. Lin Qianqi was a little surprised that she remembered it so clearly.
Chenchen saw him looking at her in surprise and felt a little embarrassed. How could he not remember? She had memories of herself and him in these places.
After walking around the school, Chenchen sighed at the wonder of time. Scenes from her high school days replayed in her mind again. Now that she thought about it, Chenchen felt that those were the most painful and happiest times of her life. Loving someone was really humbling. She did not even have the courage to stand in front of him. She looked up at his side profile. She was really happy now.
After visiting the school, they walked to the river. It had been dark for a long time now, and many people had gathered by the river. Some people had already put lanterns into the river.
Chenchen ran over excitedly and looked around, unable to see anything. Lin Qianqi quickly followed her, afraid that she would get lost. Seeing her happy face, Lin Qianqi smiled along with her. It was just right. Seeing her happy face, he felt happy for her. Her heart became even more determined.
They also bought two very beautiful lanterns. Chenchen lit the candles and carefully carried them to the riverside with Lin Qianqi. Looking at the lantern swaying in the water, her heart also swayed. She held her left and right hands and silently made a wish. Lin Qianqi watched her make a wish in amusement and thought it was quite fun to make a wish as well.
As long as I love the people around me.
The lantern had already drifted far away. Chenchen's gaze did not retract, and it followed the lantern the entire time. For the past three years, she had always had the same wish. She hoped that he would turn around and look at her. She felt that her wish had been fulfilled, so she made another wish, hoping to stay by his side forever, even if it was just an unrelated identity.
"Get up. The wind is a little strong here.”Lin Qianqi stood up and extended his hand to her.
Chenchen stared blankly at this beautiful palm, unable to react in time. Lin Qianqi smiled. He squatted down and gently held her hand, gently pulling her up.
Chenchen was intoxicated by this gentleness and looked at him in a daze. Even in the coldest weather, he could still stand there calmly and look at her with a smile. She loved his gentleness.
Lin Qianqi reached out and helped her tidy up her hair that had been messed up by the wind. He held her hand tightly and said," Let's go and watch the fireworks."”Soon, the fireworks began.
Before she could finish speaking, fireworks rose from behind them. Chenchen had yet to react to Lin Qianqi's gentleness and was shocked by the sound of the fireworks. There were couples all around, and everyone was watching the fireworks and cheering. Chenchen was still wondering if something was wrong.
Lin Qianqi didn't plan to confess because he thought it was obvious enough. Unfortunately, Chenchen was not an ordinary person.
When she was tired from standing, Chenchen suggested that they go for barbecue. She did this every year. After the lanterns and fireworks, they would go for barbecue.
Chenchen's mind was a little confused by tonight's scene. She felt that she had been dreaming every day during the winter break, so she decided to wake up.
"Boss, give me a bottle of beer." Chenchen called out to the boss heroically. This action gave Lin Qianqi a fright. He had known Chenchen for so long, but he had never seen her drink.
"It's so cold, and beer is very cold. Besides, do you know how to drink?”Lin Qianqi asked worriedly.
"It's okay. It's okay to drink occasionally.”Chenchen scratched her head. She really wanted to ask Lin Qianqi what was going on tonight, but she did not have the guts.
Lin Qianqi let her be. He wouldn't let anything happen to her if he was by her side.
After taking a sip, it was bitter and cold. Chenchen stuck out her tongue and quickly grabbed the barbeque beside her to take a few bites. Barbecue and beer were a perfect match.
Lin Qianqi was amused by her behavior." If you don't know how to drink, don't drink anymore. The beer is not good."”
"I'm thirsty. "Hehe…" Chenchen giggled foolishly.
Lin Qianqi looked at her helplessly. He could only take the beer and pour himself a glass so that she wouldn't have to drink so much.
Chenchen drank two cups and felt a little dizzy. She was dizzy all night and felt like she was floating beside the clouds.
"You know what? When I was in my first year of high school, I met someone who was handsome, gentle, and charming... I guess that's all there was to it. That was you... You don't even know how much I liked you at that time.”Chenchen felt a little sad as she picked up the cup and put it into her mouth. She realized that the cup was already empty.
Lin Qianqi looked at her in surprise. He had never thought that she would fall in love with him after so long. He was a little surprised and happy.
"Boss, one more bottle." Chenchen waved her hands randomly. Lin Qianqi quickly told the boss that there was no need. He did not expect Chenchen's alcohol tolerance to be so bad.
" You don't even know that I've stood in every corner of the school waiting for you to appear, but your appearance was always glowing. I felt so far away…Why do I feel like I can't get close to you…" Chenchen became more and more upset as she spoke, and she was on the verge of tears.
Lin Qianqi was still digesting this matter. Seeing her expression, he was a little moved and pulled her into his arms." I'm sorry. If I knew that you liked me for so long, I wouldn't have made you wait so long.”Sorry, he was late. If he knew that she liked him so much, he would have risked everything to come to her side instead of waiting for her to get close to him.
Chenchen's tears flowed down." So dreams can be so beautiful? I hope I don't wake up." She wiped her tears with her hands and rubbed them against Lin Qianqi's clothes.
Lin Qianqi held her face and wiped her tears away. He then pressed his lips against her forehead.
"Let's go back. I'll send you back.”The wind was too strong and he was afraid that she would catch a cold. He put his arm around her shoulders and steadied her footsteps. She really couldn't let her drink when she wasn't by her side in the future.
"You're Lin Qianqi, right? Right? Is it really Lin Qianqi?" Chenchen kept muttering to herself. She could not believe that Lin Qianqi was right beside her and hugging her.
"It's me. I'm Lin Qianqi." A steady voice rang out. Chenchen felt safe and hugged his waist with all her might. It felt so good.
" This dream is too beautiful. I must be crazy. How could I expect this…" Chenchen raised her head and looked at Lin Qianqi's face.
"It's not a dream. I'll always be with you like this in the future.”Lin Qianqi smiled at her. Under the light, Chenchen felt that Lin Qianqi was really handsome from this angle.
Chenchen suddenly bumped into Lin Qianqi. Her teeth touched her teeth, and Chenchen felt very painful. It turned out that kissing was so painful.
Lin Qianqi also felt that his lips were definitely bleeding at this moment. He touched them and it was true. He looked at Chenchen and saw that she was touching her lips pitifully. She looked at him and said," It hurts…"
He quickly went over to take a look. She was bleeding too. He couldn't help but laugh.
Chenchen looked at him in confusion. She was already screaming in pain, but he actually smiled.
Lin Qianqi stopped laughing. He wanted to wipe her face with his hand, but after thinking about it, he placed his hand on her chin, lifted her face up, and kissed her.
This was their first kiss, a bloody one.
