Chapter 465: Dialogue under the Starry Sky
Seeing Su Xue's gloomy expression, Long Yun was a little at a loss for a moment.
He screamed in his heart that something was wrong, but he could not let go of Shangguan Ling, who was still unable to stand firm in his arms, so he had to hold the weak lady and sit down slowly to take a breath, and then hesitate to take two steps in Su Xue's direction. However, to his surprise, the little girl who had just witnessed the scene in front of her silently, and her face was still pale had no sign of an attack. She just lowered her eyes and raised her hand slightly, asking Long Yun to hand him the bath towel.
"Ling, you are fuli again today. This is not good!"
Putting the bath towel on her shoulders casually, Su Xue walked past Long Yun who was standing on the side, and sat down next to Shangguan Ling, who was still a little panting, and wiped the water droplets on her face with a corner of the bath towel. Hearing Sister Su's advice, Shangguan Ling looked up at Long Yun and did not reply immediately, but just sat on the ground with his legs leaning against him and continued to breathe a few breaths.
“——I, I may still be, still too competitive.”
"I know this. But... you can't beat everyone in everything, right! Hehe~"
The person who was worried about her did not pay attention to Long Yun anymore. Su Xue continued to wipe Shangguan Ling and herself with a joke. In fact, she seemed to have been swimming relaxed and worked very hard just now, but she just tried her best to keep her breathing stable. The one that was not shown was too obvious.
After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, she helped the young lady beside her, then tilted her head and looked at Long Yun who was still stunned:
"Then, let's go to flush the water."
"Okay... OK."
After the short 100-meter competition, both Shangguan Ling, who had tried his best, and Su Xue, who seemed leisurely, were already exhausted, so the two of them flushed together, put on their clothes and shook them back to the room to rest with Long Yun in one step.
...
On the afternoon of that day, Long Yun and Lin Feng spent the competition simulator in the "Ruby" small theater.
In order to prepare for tomorrow's last confrontation, which is the final battle to decide the ownership of the PRRSFT champion, the two of them devoted themselves to studying the usual tactics of "albatross" at the competition site, and also indirectly inquire about the designated models and battle maps.
Although "May" and "Albatross" are both simulator teams from the League of Eastern Nations, whether it is for respecting the opponent or craving for a championship, the "May" partners will do their best. I believe their opponents are the same. Unlike Lin Feng, who was full of confidence and excited because of the last victory, he was busy with training, but Long Yun was a little absent-minded; from time to time he would think of Su Xue's complex expression by the swimming pool. Is this little girl angry or what's going on?
After the competition in the swimming pool, he did not dare to use his consciousness to understand Su Xue's mood. Relying on his pitiful emotional intelligence alone, Long Yun scratched his head in a little embarrassed manner. He really didn't know how to deal with it.
However, no matter how nervous he is, it is probably possible to guess that the little girl was a little unhappy because of his physical contact with Ling, or in other words…
Could it be that this little girl is jealous?
With his heart full of worries, Long Yun trained on site until very late before saying goodbye to Lin Feng; he had a casual dinner in the buffet restaurant, and saw that it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and he returned to the cabin with a little nervousness.
Pressing his finger on the fingerprint sensor, gently opening the door and entering the living room, Long Yun saw the neatly dressed Su Xue sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a book in his hand.
"Are you back?—Have you had supper?"
"Ah... I've eaten."
Hearing Su Xue's voice was very gentle, Long Yun subconsciously glanced at the bedroom of the two girls. He guessed that Shangguan Ling should not have gone out and might have been sleeping at this time. He saw the attention of the man in front of him with a glimmer of light from the corner of his eyes. The little girl put down the book in her hand and replied indifferently:
"Ling is a little tired and has already lie down to rest."
"oh……"
In the quiet living room, the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment. Long Yun, who noticed this, didn't know whether to sit down and try to communicate with Su Xue, or should he go back to his room to stay tactfully. He stood there and looked at the little girl on the sofa with a little guilty look. After a while, he realized that the dress she was wearing was very formal and particularly beautiful.
Isn’t this exquisite silver-white long dress the outfit of the night of the Piano Newcomer Award final?
With Long Yun a little afraid and looking at him with some unsupportive appreciation, Su Xue, who looked quiet, was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up and straightened her elegant long body:
"Long Yun, it's already late at night. Please go out with me."
...
It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the wide viewing platform on the stern of the "Ruby" boat became scarce.
Strolling on the side of the platform with soft light, the night of the ocean at the end of October was already cold, and the sea breeze blowing around came to my heart with a hint of coolness. Following Su Xue, who was walking calmly, he felt the gust of cool breeze blowing. Long Yun took off his coat and put on the girl's shoulders, and stopped by the railing with her to look away.
There was no cloud tonight, under the vast and blurred starry sky, the two of them leaned silently on the wooden railings, looking at the shadowy water and sky in the distance.
“…Long Yun.”
"Hmm?-What's wrong?"
"You know, what I'm thinking now, right?"
“…”
There is no need to answer in words, Long Yun's silence is the answer. Thinking of the scene in the swimming pool during the day, even if his emotional intelligence is low, he knows that Su Xue was a little unhappy at that time. But even so, to talk about the reason why Su Xue was worried about it, although Long Yun had a vague concept, he didn't know what to do to resolve it invisible.
Sure enough, I was still an idiot in love, right?
"Long Yun, this girl Ling, what do you think of her...?"
“…?”
One sentence made Long Yun stunned. No matter how he guessed, he could not think that Su Xue would ask such a question, so he could only respond with a puzzled look, thinking that there was no need to answer this question at all? But even so, the subconscious thinking activity immediately betrayed him completely; when he noticed Long Yun's thoughts, Su Xue was still looking into the distance, but her expression became even more entangled, and she fell into a long silence again.
When the red lips opened again, the questions asked made Long Yun, the obedient, even more crazy:
"Then, Long Yun, do you like her?"
Hearing such a straightforward question, Long Yun struggled to maintain his breathing like a drowning person. He seemed to remember that this question had always been correct, but he couldn't say it, so he was stunned again in a daze.
Under the vast starry sky and in the quiet night, I felt that the thoughts of the man beside me were still entangled, and the little girl's heart began to swell like a storm. With the special ability of consciousness, she had long been used to facing the completely real but not beautiful reality under the appearance of everything; but to say that she could figure out a person's heart, she was a little hesitant now and didn't know how to do it.
Think about this kind of thing, isn’t it just like the water in the bamboo basket and the sand in the palm of your hand?
The smart and smart woman in Bingxue is now rarely trapped in complete emotional entanglement. She suddenly remembered the first time she was asked this question that seemed to be unanswered. Facing her mother's loving face, she was innocent and young, but she gave an answer that surprised her parents.
"If you want the basket to be full of water, why not put the basket in the water?"
Yes, even if there is such a naive idea, what can't be realized?
Subconsciously recalling this ordinary and warm conversation, the girl's restless heart gradually returned to peace. Facing the emotional entanglement that seemed difficult to make a choice in front of her. Although she didn't know what the ending would be, she still couldn't suppress her expectation that was gradually blooming in her heart. She wanted to experience this perhaps the most tortuous, long and most beautiful and unforgettable life journey in person.
After a long silence, Su Xue, who had been thinking for a long time, turned to Long Yun and put her hands in front of her; with a hint of shyness that was barely suppressed, the girl's voice was still so sweet and gentle:
"Forget it, stop thinking about that question. In fact, sometimes... when it comes time and occasion, you have to say bravely what you want to say so that you can leave no regrets. - Long Yun, I have done it, where are you?"
Under the brilliant starry sky, in the blurred night, the tall and elegant silver-white figure was still clear, as if it was full of gorgeous and dazzling charm. Long Yun was a little dazzled and confused for a moment. When he noticed the tide of the woman in front of him, he understood the meaning of Su Xue's words like a god helper, and all the tension and uneasiness disappeared in an instant.
The heart was pounding at a rhythm that had never been seen before, and Long Yun had an enlightened enlightenment of fate, that is, "Nothing is more suitable than now."
"Su Xue, that...please ask you something!"
"kindness……"
When she heard the hasty words of the man in front of her, she was still very concise and had no mood at all, but the little girl could no longer care about that. Her face was flushed and her eyebrows were pleasing to her eyes, her head was drooping, and she quietly waited for her lover's confession. Seeing such a fascinating expression, Long Yun seemed to be a little unscrupulous. To put it bluntly, he still had no experience in this kind of thing, so he was particularly cramped and clumsy.
"We... let's date!"
Alas, what's this? Haven't we been dating for several months?
Thinking of the thought connection between the two was extraordinary after all, there was no need for any verbal confession at all. The girl's expression was unconcealed and happiness was rippling. She bit her lips and raised her head, looking at Long Yun, who was clearly nervous in front of her, and pondered for a moment before her red lips opened:
Chapter completed!
