stay away from love

On Saturday afternoon, Ling Xiang was escorted by Ye Tingshu to the entrance of the cinema.Jiang Yue had been waiting there a long time ago, dressed in casual clothes, holding a big bucket of popcorn and Coke, and laughed when he saw Ling Xiang.

The two looked at each other, and Ling Xiang subconsciously wanted to get back into the car, but Ye Tingshu pushed him helplessly: "What do you want?"

Almost at the same time, Jiang Yue also came up to meet him. Ling Xiang stood there in embarrassment, and after a while he managed to say: "I'm not someone who just plays tricks when I lose."

With a snort, Ye Tingshu leaned over and pushed Ling Xiang out a few more steps, quickly closed the car door, waved at Jiang Yue, and stepped on the accelerator gracefully to drive away.

Jiang Yue looked at Ling Xiang and laughed, put the Coke in Ling Xiang's hand, turned around and walked into the cinema: "Okay, let's watch a movie first, then eat, and find a street for a stroll in the evening."

Ling Xiang clenched the Coke tightly, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized it. His whole face turned pale, and then turned red again. He hurried to catch up: "Hey! Who promised you to go shopping! Don't you only want to watch movies and eat? ?”

"Anyway, I have time!" Jiang Yue said as a matter of course, while handing the ticket to the ticket inspector, he looked back after the ticket was checked, only to find Ling Xiang standing there staring, and the smile on his lips deepened.

Ling Xiang seemed a little guilty by the laughter, and finally said with a cold face: "My uncle's time is not wasted like this for you."

"Grandpa, please take a step forward, it's about to start." Jiang Yue ignored him, walked directly to him, patted his shoulder and pushed him into the arena.

With this pat and push, Ling Xiang recalled his situation, his face darkened again, he didn't speak anymore, and walked over to the position pointed by Jiang Yue, and just sat down, he felt that Jiang Yue was also beside him sat down.

The seats in the movie theater were not spacious, and the distance between the two of them instantly became extremely close after sitting like this. Jiang Yue casually put the Coke on the armrest, and put his hand on it by the way.

Ling Xiang subconsciously hid to the other side, pulling half a distance away, and then felt that he was very hypocritical, but he didn't have the courage to move back.

Jiang Yue didn't seem to notice anything, he stuffed the popcorn into Ling Xiang's arms, and whispered, "You take it and eat."

The meager warmth passed from the paper bucket to his hands, and it was hard to tell whether it was the temperature of the popcorn or the residual warmth of Jiang Yue's palms, Ling Xiang was distracted, and the movie started.

Jiang Yue naturally stretched out his hand to grab the popcorn. Every time he stretched out his hand, Ling Xiang became tense. It wasn't until he retracted his hand that he secretly heaved a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help being a little disappointed.

He didn't know what he was expecting in his panic, he didn't dare to think about it, he didn't even dare to look at Jiang Yue, the life-and-death struggle was on the big screen, but he watched it absent-mindedly.

"This story is too bloody, but fortunately the action scenes are quite cool." After some time, Jiang Yue suddenly said.

Ling Xiang was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the male protagonist on the screen was dealing with three enemies, his movements were neat and handsome, which really made people feel very happy, so he nodded, and after a while remembered that this was watching a movie, he made up again. One voice: "Yeah."

Jiang Yue didn't say any more, and Ling Xiang fell silent. The atmosphere seemed to become subtly awkward, so he could only stare at the screen, grabbing a handful of popcorn and stuffing it into his mouth from time to time, trying to show a look of fascination. appearance.

It's just that although he played wonderfully on the screen, he still couldn't see it.

"Ling Xiang." After a while, Jiang Yue called him softly.

Ling Xiang froze, turned his head after a while, and saw Jiang Yue looking at him. In the weak light, his expression seemed to reveal a hint of helplessness.

"...What?" After waiting for a while, Ling Xiang finally couldn't help asking.

"Let's go."

Ling Xiang was really stunned: "Huh?"

Jiang Yue smiled, reached out to take the popcorn in his arms, and threw two cups of Coke into the paper bucket: "It's not good-looking. Let's go, don't waste time."

Ling Xiang nodded in a daze, and didn't realize what happened just now until he followed Jiang Yue out of the cinema. He caught up two steps, walked side by side with Jiang Yue, and asked cautiously, "Isn't the fighting scene pretty good?"

"It's not bad, but the plot is really not interesting. I only bought tickets after hearing others recommend them to be good-looking. I didn't expect it to be so bad. It made you bored with me." Jiang Yue smiled and scratched his head .

Ling Xiang is not an idiot. Hearing what he said, he probably understood that he saw his discomfort. He shook his head, trying to smile, but in the end he just lowered his eyes and curled his lips.

Just when the atmosphere was about to drop to the bottom, Jiang Yue suddenly yelled: "Ah, whack-a-mole!"

Ling Xiang was taken aback again. He felt that he couldn't keep up with this person's thinking at all. He looked up and realized that Jiang Yue was pointing at the game console at the entrance of the convenience store next to the cinema.

It was a very classic whack-a-mole game. As far as Ling Xiang could remember, he probably hadn't played this kind of thing since he graduated from primary school.

Jiang Yue took out the coins from his pocket, walked over and stuffed them into the coin slot, and waited until the lights on the game machine were on before he turned around and smiled at Ling Xiang: "Come and play."

Ling Xiang walked over obediently, and Jiang Yue had already rolled up his sleeves, tied up his horse, and began to pat. The gopher shrieked and shrank back, and then reappeared after a while, accompanied by strong rhythmic music , it was quite lively.

"You are moving, I can't take pictures!"

Hearing Jiang Yue's urging, Ling Xiang came to one side to help make up for the omission. His movements were quite inactive, so Jiang Yue pressed down on the emerging gopher even harder. Ling Xiang watched him jump left and right, reluctantly. I couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Yue seemed to be distracted by his smile, and his men stopped moving. The gophers escaped one after another, and finally all of them popped up and laughed triumphantly at him. A big "" was displayed on the electronic screen. LOST".

Jiang Yue turned his eyes away, and said angrily, "Why are you laughing, the gophers are laughing at us!"

"That's laughing at you." Ling Xiang replied, took out a coin and threw it in.

The game started again, this time Ling Xiang didn't touch the fish, but actively patted the gopher's head, while Jiang Yue looked at the gloom in his focused gaze, and finally said nothing, Just smiled and joined the fight.

As time went by, the frequency of gophers popping up became more and more frequent, and the two of them took care of each other, slapping their foreheads until sweat broke out.

But Jiang Yue still used his words from time to time: "You are too slow, look, you missed another one!"

"Take care of yourself first." Ling Xiang said, patting harder and harder.

The heads of the gophers in front of him were rising and falling, which was already dizzying. At the end, seeing another gopher popping up, Ling Xiang almost instinctively patted it down──

There was a sound of "pa", but it was the sound of the palm hitting the back of the hand. Jiang Yue's hand was pressed on the gopher's head, but Ling Xiang's hand was patted on the back of his hand.

The palms and the backs of the hands touched, and the ambiguous temperature seemed to spread throughout the whole body in an instant, making Ling Xiang feel that his face was burning. He reflexively wanted to withdraw his hands, but Jiang Yue caught them even faster.

The game failed again, a row of gophers came out and smiled at the two of them, Ling Xiang felt his heart beat faster because of the laughter.He subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but Jiang Yue directly grabbed his hand and pulled him over.

"Let's go, let's eat."

The palm of my hand seems to be burning hot...

Ling Xiang kept struggling, but he still couldn't succeed, so he had to try to divert Jiang Yue's attention: "No, don't you want to play anymore?"

"Stop playing, the goal has been achieved." Jiang Yue said quite generously.

It looks like my face is going to burn...

Ling Xiang lowered his head weakly, looked at the hand tightly held by Jiang Yue, and finally gave up struggling.Jiang Yue could feel it too, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, while still dragging Ling Xiang forward as a matter of course.

Such a blatant move naturally attracted a lot of attention. He didn't seem to care, but Ling Xiang couldn't ignore it. In the end, he could only look hard at every shop on the side of the road to distract himself.

As he was walking, Jiang Yue stopped suddenly, and Ling Xiang asked subconsciously, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yue pointed to the shop window beside him and said, "Look."

Ling Xiang looked in the direction he pointed, only to find that there were various accessories displayed there, and he didn't know which one Jiang Yue was referring to.

Jiang Yue simply dragged him into the store, and said to the clerk, "Please, I want to take a look at the pair of ear needles in the window."

The clerk glanced at the hands of the two ambiguously, and while taking the ear needles that Jiang Yue said, Ling Xiang realized that they were a pair of platinum ear needles inlaid with blue-green tourmalines, which looked somewhat familiar .

Just when Ling Xiang was thinking about it, Jiang Yue first smiled and asked, "Does it look familiar?"

"Huh?" Ling Xiang picked up the ear needle and squinted his eyes. After a while, his pupils shrank slightly, and he put the ear needle back silently.

Seeing him like this, the clerk thought he didn't like it, so he quickly sold it: "Sir, this ear acupuncture is the latest limited edition this year. It is generous and elegant, and it is very suitable whether it is for personal use or as a gift to your girlfriend..."

Ling Xiang didn't seem to hear his words, but just looked at the pair of ear acupuncture, and didn't look away for a long time.

"It's such an ugly laugh."

"Then why don't you laugh and let me hear?"

"I'm not kidding."

"Then let me give you another laugh, sir?"

"Do not care."

"Are five fragments rare? Come and laugh at one if you are rare."

……

A group of forty, there are four groups, and finally thirteen scattered, a total of 170 three.

From late night to early morning, the scene of standing side by side in the game, the crystal fragments of the holy spirit traded by the dark magician of the dark purple magic bubble.

"That day……"

"Huh?" Jiang Yue turned his head.

"At that time... what were you thinking?"

Jiang Yue understood the nonsensical words, he thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I thought, 'It's over'."

Ling Xiang didn't say any more, just withdrew his hand without a trace, took out the credit card from his wallet and handed it to the clerk: "Wrap it up for me."

The clerk took the card and got busy. Jiang Yue looked at Ling Xiang's side face, and after a while he smiled and said, "You really are an upstart, and you don't even ask the price."

Ling Xiang looked at him indifferently: "Isn't there a sign on the box?"

Jiang Yue was so choked that he couldn't speak, until the clerk handed Ling Xiang the jewelry box containing the ear needles together with the credit card, and the two walked out of the store, he sighed a long time: "I said, you Have you ever thought about finding a job? Even though you don’t have to worry about life, it’s always bad to stay at home.”

"That's right." Ling Xiang seemed to be in a better mood, and the previous embarrassment and unnaturalness disappeared, "Is there any shortage of people in your magazine? Can you introduce them to me?"

"If you invite me to dinner, I will introduce you."

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"I made a reservation, how about the Vietnamese food?"

……

The two of them just wandered the street all night, without any intimate gestures, talking about some topics that were forgotten afterward, and the time passed by in a hurry.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when Jiang Yue sent Ling Xiang downstairs.

Stopped the car, Ling Xiang didn't move, Jiang Yue smiled: "I'm very happy today. I thought you would definitely renege on your debt."

"Do I look like such a shameless person?" Ling Xiang raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Yue smiled and shook his head, looked at him for a while, and finally said softly: "Even if it's just friends, I want a goodnight kiss, is that okay?"

"Huh?" Ling Xiang didn't refuse directly, but responded with a long nasal voice.

Jiang Yue didn't ask any more, but hesitated for a while, then leaned over, kissed Ling Xiang lightly on the forehead, and then opened the car door for him, and said gently: "Go back, good night."

Ling Xiang sat there silent for a while, then nodded and got out of the car.

Jiang Yue looked at his back with some disappointment, until Ling Xiang turned around, he didn't even have time to clean up the expression on his face.

Ling Xiang took out something from his pocket, bent down and handed it into the car, and stuffed it into his hand.

Jiang Yue's heart skipped a beat! , I looked down and found that it turned out to be the jewelry box containing the ear pins.

"Pierce your ears, it won't hurt." Ling Xiang lowered his eyes, his voice was light, and Jiang Yue couldn't guess what he was thinking.

In the end, he could only take a deep breath and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll think about it."

Ling Xiang stood there for a while, as if he wanted to say something, Jiang Yue just sat there and watched him.

"At that time..." After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiang said, "Me too."

"Ling Xiang..." Jiang Yue raised his head suddenly, but what he saw was Ling Xiang's back.

"I had only one thought at the time - 'It's over'."

It took Jiang Yue a long, long time to digest this sentence. Ling Xiang had left a long time ago. He sat alone in the car, and after a lot of effort, he opened the jewelry box with trembling hands.

In the jewelry box, there is only one earring.

At ten o'clock in the evening, a message was refreshed on the world channel of "Endless Online".

[World] Seven Destroyers and Seven Births: The Voice of the Luna Comes to PK, the Sleeping Hill of Light, the old rules!

This news, as always, attracted countless gossip crowds to watch, and the world channel of "Endless Online" was no different from every day in the past.

Ye Tingshu pulled out the friend list and sent a message to Ling Xiang.

"Ah Xiang, did you win or lose?"

After a long time, Ling Xiang replied with two words: "I lost."

Ye Tingshu couldn't help laughing: "What did you lose this time?"

After that, Ling Xiang never replied to her message again.

At this moment, he was sitting in front of the computer, and Jiang Yue's smiling face on the screen was particularly dazzling.

"Old rules, don't play tricks, let me tell you."

Ling Xiang tapped on the keyboard: "Who says I'm going to cheat?"

Jiang Yue made another shy smile, but didn't say any more.Ling Xiang waited for a while, finally gave up and threw away the mouse, and leaned back on the chair.

Just then, the phone rang.With a slight shock, Ling Xiang picked up the phone, and it really showed that it was Jiang Yue's call.

He pressed the answer button but didn't speak.

"Ling Xiang?" Jiang Yue's voice seemed to be trembling, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was just his hallucination.

Ling Xiang still didn't speak.

"I won, you have to promise me a request." Jiang Yue said again, this time Ling Xiang really heard the trembling hidden in the words.

He finally responded, "Yeah."

There was a sudden silence on the other side of the phone, and Ling Xiang didn't rush, but the hand holding the phone was still uncontrollably tight.

"Ling Xiang, date me!"

Finally, Jiang Yue's voice came again.The trembling voice was tense and high-pitched, just like the protagonist's declaration of "life is on the line" in the animation of the hot-blooded boy.

The corners of Ling Xiang's mouth curled up, but finally trembled slowly again, he closed his eyes, and tried hard many times before finally speaking out.

"it is good."

Writer's words:

This is a brief (deceptive) postscript, thank you for reading this

This is the first modern article I published, and probably the first article that was published without being uploaded on the Internet. The feeling in the writing process is a bit subtle, and I don’t know how to express it (laughing, probably, there is no way to know the reader’s opinion at all. Feel it~ But I'm also very fortunate that there is still one, the only relative and friend who was caught and read by me from the beginning to the end. Although she probably won't find this postscript, but I still have to say thank you XDD I don't know to see the end What do you guys think? What you see now is very different from its original appearance!

Well, I don't know which version I like more...but the revision process is really painful, because it almost completely overthrows the old thinking.

But no matter what, it can meet you, I am very happy, and I hope you can like it
