Chapter 23 Confession It was really hot at noon, the sun seemed to melt the earth, and the wind was too lazy to move. Qiyou and Zhu Xing had no intention of continuing to play, so they found a place to enjoy the shade under the shade of a tree. "Try the sandwich I made?" Qiyou opened the food box and handed the cut sandwich to Zhu Xing. Amusement parks are expensive, and even if the two of them are not so short of money, they both have brains and don't want to be such a big enemy. Thinking that both of them were good at cooking, they agreed to prepare bento boxes for lunch. "Thank you." Zhu Xing took the small sandwich with one hand and handed one of the blue food boxes to Qiyou with the other hand. Qiyou's cooking skills are good, and the green lettuce paired with eggs and pork belly looks very appetizing. "Hey, can you make light meals?" Qi You opened the food box curiously and looked at Zhu Xing in surprise. Chicken breast, black pepper beef, broccoli, yellow peaches, purple sweet potato rice...all are her favorites! "The weather is hot, so light food is easy to bring and not easy to spoil." Zhu Xing thoughtfully helped her pour the Caesar dressing. "Didn't you tell me before that the light food restaurant you like doesn't have the combination you want? I'll find it." Watch some videos and try to learn.” "It's delicious!" Qi You pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling, and praised Zhu Xing. It doesn't matter whether it tastes good or not. At that time, she just complained to him casually, but she didn't expect that he would take such a trivial matter to his heart. "I didn't expect you to really know how to cook." Qiyou blinked, as if he had discovered some new world.
To be fair, it tasted pretty good, but she was being stereotyped. Previously, she heard from Qingquan and the others that Zhu Xing would help the team members, but she didn't take it to heart at the time. She subconsciously thought that e-sports players didn't know how to wash their hands and make soup. "My family conditions were not good when I was young, so I learned these things to take care of my younger sister." This was the first time Zhu Xing mentioned family matters to her. He looked at her calmly and tenderly, and told her past calmly, as if he was an outsider. "Sorry..." Qiyou looked into his slightly sad eyes, feeling a little distressed, "I didn't mean to mention it..." The first time Qiyou felt distressed for Zhu Xing was during the recording of "The Silver Dragon King". She felt bad that he was running around for the team, and there was no light in his eyes. During that time, he socialized with the team leader to solicit sponsorship, enlightened his teammates who were confused by the comments, and single-handedly became the backbone of the team, leading OUR to win its first championship. Now, she felt sorry for him again. She read from his eyes that his past was more difficult than the past he described verbally. Indeed, how can it be that easy? Zhu Xing's parents died in a car accident when he was young. In order to support his young sister, he dropped out of college to pursue a career. "It's okay, it's all over." Zhu Xing smiled relievedly, "My sister's name is Zhu Ling, and she is studying in No. 1 Middle School." "City No. 1 Middle School? My junior high school girl is so amazing!" "Yes, Lingling is very good and studies very hard." Zhu Xing couldn't help but feel proud when he mentioned his sister, but as he talked, he couldn't help but feel a little sour. "I miss Lingling's parent-teacher conferences every time, but she is very sensible and shows that she doesn't care every time." He will also regret that he will miss her parent-teacher conferences due to training, and regret that he cannot accompany him for a long time. sister. "Then...why don't you spend more time with her during the National Day?" Qiyou felt more and more guilty as she listened. She had been having a heated fight with him in the past few months. Didn't that take up her time with her sister? "She is in Rocket Class and usually can only go home once every two weeks. This National Day holiday only has three days, so she returned to school yesterday." "Oh, I remember, I was like that at the time, but I just need to get over it!" Even though she had graduated from No. 1 Middle School many years ago, she could immediately recall those unforgettable memories when she mentioned these. "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Our mission today is to have fun!" Zhu Xing didn't want his negative emotions to affect Qiyou, didn't want to see her guilty expression, and didn't want her to be sad with him. "Want to play target shooting? I remember you said you were very good at this." Zhu Xing stood up, put away his lunch box, and pointed to the stall next to the ancient tree.
"Okay, let me show you!" Qiyou patted his cheek, flicked away the non-existent dust on his clothes, and smiled openly, "Boss, here are twenty bullets!" She leaned into his neck and whispered softly: "Although I don't know how to play Baili Keep Promise, I can hit this game with perfect accuracy. Wait, I can win the grand prize later!" After saying that, Qi You raised his hand, put his right shoulder against the butt of the gun, closed his left eye, took aim with his right eye, and pulled the trigger with his index finger. boom-- The red instant balloon explodes. "Load it for me!" "Come." Qiyou is weak and even needs help from others to load the gun, acting like a layman. But Zhu Xing could see clearly from the side that the boss's face had already changed from the initial pride to the color of pig liver. Qiyou usually looks cute and harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, she seems to have a small universe inside her body, which always brings various shocks to people. He looked at someone who was completely unaware of it in a funny way, willingly helping her to load the bullet, and then standing beside her calmly to shield her from the boss's angry gaze, and cheering her up at her side. "eighteen…" "nineteen." "Twenty! So strong!" Zhu Xing was a little surprised, he really looked down on her. "Boss, I want that Spongebob!" The last balloon exploded, and Qi You stood on tiptoes with joy, propped up the table, and pointed at the half-human-tall Spongebob doll in the corner of the tent. Everyone around was watching, and the store owner couldn't deny it at all, so he could only hand the doll to Qi You with a dark face. "Give it to you!" Qiyou stuffed the doll into Zhu Xing's arms, "I chose this specially for you, don't let it go!" "Huh? Why Spongebob?" The man was holding a canvas bag in one hand and a large doll in the other. The huge contrast looked extremely funny. "Because I want you to be just like SpongeBob, to be happy every day in the future!" Qiyou put her hands on her back and stood in front of Zhu Xing, looking up at him with sincere eyes and a flowery smile. "Thank you..." Zhu Xing lowered his eyebrows, wanting to caress her face. How could she... be so good... "Let's go store the dolls and move on to the next project later!" Qi You didn't want Zhu Xing to continue to think too much, so she quickly pointed to the pirate ship on the other side, gesturing for him to follow her pace. "Okay, how about we take the stern?" "Great!" This is the first time Qiyou has had such fun in an amusement park. When I was young, I didn’t have much fun playing with my parents. When I grew up, I was a homebody and didn’t make many friends. Zhizhi, her only friend, is afraid of heights and cannot accompany her to do such things.
Zhu Xing was the first person to accompany her to play wildly in the amusement park. "Wow, there's a show tonight!" Qi You read the timetable on the castle wall carefully, "There's also a fireworks show at nine o'clock in the evening!" She blinked and said frantically: "We won't have dinner. After the fireworks show, why don't we go for a late-night snack?" "Well, okay." Zhu Xing seemed to never reject Qi You, and would only silently buy fried potatoes and hand them to her, "Let's eat some snacks first to satisfy our stomach." "Wait, wait, let me finish the marshmallows first!" Qi You glanced at Zhu Xing resentfully, "If I eat any more, I will gain weight!" Really, this person feeds her whenever he is free, and she is really not hungry at all now! "You're not fat." Zhu Xing put the bamboo sticks of marshmallows that Qi You had eaten into a garbage bag. "You won't gain weight even once in a while." "Humph!" Qiyou hummed softly, chewing in his mouth, feeling sweet in his heart. "Stop humming. It's getting dark. Follow me." The sunset is just right at this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun is warm and pleasant, and the sky is crimson with the rolling clouds. Colorful lights gradually lit up in the amusement park, music started playing somewhere, and the balloon-selling Kumamon began to dance hand in hand with the children. The night show in the amusement park was about to begin! "Shh, listen, it's Jay's song!" After passing a certain corner, Qiyou suddenly stopped, looked at the speakers on the wall in surprise, and couldn't help but start singing along. "I took a small taste and you said you love me." "I'm still recalling the tenderness you gave me." "I gently..." In fact, Qi You likes to sing, and she likes this kind of sweet song the most. Zhu Xing also covered his eyes and leaned against the wall, listening to her sweet singing, feeling the gentle breeze in the evening, and feeling her presence. "hiss…" The temperature difference between day and night in autumn is huge, and Qiyou can't help but shiver. Zhu Xing had already expected it, so he took out his coat from the canvas bag and handed it to Qiyou, watching her put on his coat like a child sneaking into an adult's clothes. Qi You remembered that day, gathered up her clothes and snickered: "It seems I'm going to the base to give you clothes again." She still remembers the last time she went to the base to deliver clothes to him, the OUR staff gave her a kind and teasing smile. "Then I'll trouble Miss Youzi." Zhu Xing's little idea succeeded, and even the ends of his eyes were filled with smiles. "Hmph, it's good to know!" Qi You raised her head and looked away from him, looking so arrogant. "Let's go, let's go ride the Ferris wheel!" “I love watching the city’s night view the most!” Qi You hummed a song softly and ran forward with brisk steps, smelling the flowers on the roadside and kicking the gravel on the road, making heaven and earth appear within his sight. Legend has it that couples who ride the Ferris wheel together will be together for eternity. Ok… Qiyou secretly touched her heart.
She must also have some selfishness of her own. "What are you thinking about?" Zhu Xing saw Qiyou looking at the Ferris wheel in fascination, so he stood behind her and also looked at the giant thing in front of him. "Legend has it that as high as the Ferris wheel is, so is happiness." Qi You looked at Zhu Xing slyly. "I will lie to you girls." Zhu Xing shook his head helplessly and followed Qi You up the stairs. "But it's really romantic!" Qiyou stamped her feet confidently, "Hey! Why are you squeezing me!" "Be careful. It's high here. You go inside." Zhu Xing squeezed Qi You to the inside of the stairs in a funny way. "Do we both seem unhappy and brainless?" "Hmm...huh?" Qiyou's head was still spinning. Why did this sound so strange? "Let's go, it's our turn." "No, who is unhappy? Who is mindless?" Qi You was still mumbling, but Zhu Xing gently pushed her body into the small grid. The two were so close just now that she could even smell the lemon scent on him and feel his breath more clearly. Now the two of them were sitting opposite each other in a small space. Qiyou's body became even stiffer. He looked at the castle behind Zhu Xing for a while, the city outside the window, and then looked at the person sitting next to him. Spongebob. Anyway, after walking around in a circle, I just didn't dare to look at him. Zhu Xing saw Qi You's embarrassment and said funnyly: "Youzi, are you so uncomfortable staying with me?" "No...no." The tips of Qi You's ears turned red, but she still didn't dare to look at him. "Then why don't you dare to look at me?" Qi You couldn't answer, she lowered her head and just held the seat hard, even her fingertips turned slightly white. In fact, in the past two months, she could clearly feel that she liked him. She would want to hold hands with him, hug him, and touch his brows openly. It's just...she seems to be shrinking out of habit. A little awkward, a little shy, and a little scared. Afraid that she is not worthy of such a good him, afraid that she will have no future with him, and even more afraid that all this is just her own passion and a big dream. So whenever he crossed the line too much, she felt uncomfortable and habitually retreated into her shell, burying herself in her own safety zone. "I'm not uncomfortable...I'm just a little scared." Qi You lowered her head. She knew she couldn't escape blindly, but the reserve in her bones prevented her from doing anything more outrageous. Fortunately, the faint expectation in her heart prompted her to take another step forward. "Tsk..." Zhu Xing chuckled, his voice low and hoarse, breathtaking, "Yuzi, I like you." It was enough for her to take this step, and it was up to him to take the remaining ninety-nine steps.
He knew what she was afraid of. Zheng—— At this moment, the world was silent, and Qi You's mind went blank, leaving only the sound of his heart beating wildly. She didn't know how to deal with such straightforward words, and all the words she had prepared in her heart turned into nothing at this moment. "You...what did you say?" Qi You pursed her chapped red lips, her chest rose and fell, she slowly raised her head in disbelief, and slowly looked at him. She looked at her helpless self in his dark eyes, and saw in his eyes More serious than ever. "I like you, Miss Yuzu." "Don't be afraid, don't panic. I have never been in love before. We are equals. Let's explore how to manage this relationship together, okay?" "If you want to reject me, just say it directly, don't be afraid of hurting me. You are good, you are stronger than you think, and you deserve the best feelings." Zhu Xing's words were as sincere and hot as himself. This scorching temperature enveloped Qiyou bit by bit, causing her to shed tears unconsciously. "Don't cry..." Now it was Zhu Xing's turn to panic. He hurriedly took out the napkin, but he was afraid that Qi You would be unwell, so he had to hang in the air, neither moving nor moving. "Idiot." Qiyou took the paper, wiped away her tears, and smiled through her tears, "Mr. Praying, I like you too." At this moment, they had just reached the highest point of the Ferris wheel and could touch the clouds with just their hands. At this moment, they are closest to the sky and closest to each other. If you like it, I hope you can collect it more, recommend it, comment more, and read more! (Sneaky 2k words and come back hehe)
