Chapter 273 I've been hanging around here for 8 years
Xie Junchen saw that she was always looking down at her phone, and he felt a pang of sadness and wanted to get her attention, but to no avail!
Xie Junchen was a little angry. He looked at the couple next to him and felt even more resentful.
"Yueyue, I..." Xie Junchen wanted to kiss her without her noticing, but as soon as he leaned in, Song Shuyue turned her head away.
Xie Junchen guiltily shifted his gaze, straightened his posture, and coughed twice.
"Yueyue, I just wanted to remind you to watch your step, there are stones."
Song Shuyue reached out and touched his forehead. Xie Junchen's heart raced instantly, and he stood there dumbfounded.
Did Yueyue touch him just now?
Seeing his flushed face, Song Shuyue thought he had a fever, but he didn't. After walking for a while, Xie Junchen didn't follow. She turned around and looked at him, touching his head and grinning foolishly.
Are you still going or not?
Xie Junchen snapped out of his daze and ran over quickly. "Yueyue, I'm sorry, let's go."
Although there was no kiss, he was happy when Yueyue touched him on her own initiative, at least now Yueyue was starting to care about his feelings.
Upon arriving at the back of the mountain, there was a grassland next to a forest, where many people had already set up tents.
Xie Junchen opened his backpack. "Yueyue, sit down and rest first. I'll set up the tent."
Song Shuyue was too lazy to move. She nodded, sat on the mountaintop, and quietly admired the picturesque scenery before her. The setting sun, like a shy traveler, was slowly embraced by the continuous mountain peaks and disappeared into the horizon bit by bit.
Xie Junchen set up the tent, his gaze fixed on Song Shuyue, and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
The gentle glow of the setting sun fell upon her, gilding her with a soft golden light. Her face appeared even more beautiful in this gentle light, possessing an unadorned natural beauty that seemed to overshadow everything else in the world, leaving her alone to bloom quietly in the twilight.
Song Shuyue hadn't seen such a beautiful sunset in a long time, and it made her feel much better.
Feeling the gaze upon her, she looked down. Xie Junchen did not avoid her gaze at all. Seeing her lower her head, he smiled knowingly at her.
Song Shuyue smiled faintly, responding to his gaze.
"It's set up so quickly?" Song Shuyue looked at the tent in front of her. Why was there only one?
Before he could ask, Xie Junchen had already laid out the food he had prepared beforehand on the ground.
"Yueyue, eat something first."
Song Shuyue wasn't distracted by the dazzling array of food in front of her; at most, she simply sat down and said, "Why is there only one tent?"
Noticing Xie Junchen's evasive expression, Song Shuyue continued, "Don't tell me you only prepared one."
The excuse of preparing only one for two people is too perfunctory.
Xie Junchen knew she would see through him at a glance. "Yueyue, isn't it because I have too much stuff and I thought I couldn't fit it all in? Look, my backpack is full."
Song Shuyue: "......" Then why did you bring so much food?
"This might be in the middle of nowhere, and there are other people around. Yueyue, are you going to do something to me?"
Song Shuyue's temples throbbed. She picked up her chopsticks and handed them to him, saying, "Just eat yours! Stop nagging!"
Xie Junchen replied with a grin, "Thank you."
As night fell, the young people in front lit bonfires, instantly turning the mountaintop into a warm and lively place, with some even singing and dancing around the fires.
Seeing that Song Shuyue was eating while looking at those people, Xie Junchen knew that she was not tired of it and originally wanted to book the whole place.
Although the private date between the two of them was to their liking, upon closer reflection, Yueyue definitely wouldn't like such a cold and quiet setting, so he didn't interfere and adopted a normal mindset.
"Meteor shower!"
Someone exclaimed first, instantly drawing everyone's attention to the vast, boundless night sky.
The meteor shower arrived as scheduled, its irresistible charm shattering the silence of the night. Each ray of light was like a work of art meticulously sculpted by nature, dazzling and breathtakingly beautiful.
At this moment, time seemed to stand still, leaving only the trails of shooting stars bursting forth, weaving together a breathtaking picture.
Song Shuyue was also captivated by the sight; it was truly awe-inspiring. The shooting star seemed to be flying right overhead, delivering a powerful and emotional impact.
Xie Junchen took photos of this scene with his phone, and every photo captured Song Shuyue's profile.
"Are you taking pictures of me?" Song Shuyue turned her head.
When Xie Junchen saw that she had noticed him, he moved over, put his arm around her slender waist, and pulled her into his embrace.
"Let's take a picture."
Xie Junchen held his phone in one hand and wrapped his arm around her with the other, placing a cool kiss on her cheek.
Upon capturing this scene, Song Shuyue's pupils trembled slightly, as if something had touched her heart.
Xie Junchen flipped through one photo after another, feeling extremely happy.
Excited like a young man deeply in love, he asked, "Yueyue, can I post this on my WeChat Moments? This is our first day together, and I want them all to know."
I am your boyfriend.
Song Shuyue wanted to refuse; she didn't want anyone to know about the relationship, even though it had only lasted three days.
But at this moment, Xie Junchen was truly happy, his smile sincere and handsome, as if he had received the best thing in the world. Her heart was moved at this moment, and she couldn't bear to spoil his good mood.
Xie Junchen gazed at Song Shuyue with loving eyes, seeking her consent.
Song Shuyue nodded slightly, and Xie Junchen was overjoyed, so happy that he kissed her forehead again.
"Yueyue, you're the best."
After receiving permission, Xie Junchen immediately posted on his WeChat Moments, afraid that even a second's delay would make her regret it and change her mind.
Even the most beautiful shooting star can't compare to your beauty.
Xie Junchen, who never posts on WeChat Moments, suddenly appeared, causing an uproar. Everyone was filled with gossip, asking if the girl in the photo was his girlfriend.
The Xie family was still in a daze and sent several messages to inquire.
When she received a definite answer, Xie's mother was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
"That's wonderful, that's wonderful."
"This guy finally has a girlfriend."
Before she knew it, fireflies had already surrounded her. Song Shuyue reached out her hand, and a tiny firefly landed on her fingertip. Its chubby body was quite cute.
Xie Junchen had never been as happy as he was today.
Every second I spent with her felt like several years.
"Yueyue, do you like it?"
Xie Junchen's gentle and affectionate gaze fell on her, as if he were asking her whether she liked fireflies or him.
Song Shuyue's attention was focused on the firefly on her fingertip, and she listened as he asked her if she liked it.
Song Shuyue nodded.
Xie Junchen bought some barbecue from the people next to him, and also bought a few bottles of wine. "Yueyue, I think they're enjoying it. You should try some."
Song Shuyue took a bite of meat. "Xie Junchen, what do you like about me?"
Xie Junchen was taken aback. He opened a beer and placed it in front of her. "Yueyue, I like you as a person, including everything about you. Or is it that you insist on saying it? I can't define that feeling. I know that your appearance makes my heart beat uncontrollably."
He took her other hand and placed it on his chest, "Yueyue, listen, it's like this..."
Song Shuyue felt his strong, rapid heartbeat, thump-thump-thump, one beat after another.
Why do you like me?
Xie Junchen smiled, his gaze gentle yet touched. "Yueyue, there's no reason why. You don't need a reason to like someone."
Song Shuyue was puzzled. "If your liking is based solely on feelings, what will happen when those feelings disappear? Will you stop liking it then?"
She asked the question not out of fear of losing his affection, but out of pure curiosity; that was all she meant.
"No! Yueyue, people are not animals. We can control our thoughts, plan our future, and do what we want to do. If a person can't even control their own feelings, then they don't deserve to have them. I can tell you forever that my feelings for you will not change, my love for you will not change. I like you. I have thought about all the things we will have in the future. Even if we eventually have disagreements, arguments, or even break up, I will not be able to control my feelings for you."
As Song Shuyue listened to this tender expression of affection, his heart began to beat faster uncontrollably. Was this what they called sweet talk?
It is indeed very touching.
No wonder so many girls become obsessed with men's vows, unable to extricate themselves, and willing to give their lives and lose themselves.
"Thank you, my lord. Don't try to predict what hasn't happened yet, because you can never be sure what will happen in the future. I don't trust anyone; I only trust myself."
Xie Junchen nodded. "Yueyue, believe in yourself; you are the best."
The couple sat under the starry sky, each drinking three cans of beer. Song Shuyue was getting a little tipsy; she hadn't expected that such a low-alcohol beer could make her feel dizzy.
It seems she's really not suited for drinking.
"Yueyue, are you sleepy? I've already made up the bed inside, you can continue sleeping."
There was only one tent, and Song Shuyue wouldn't tell him she was sleeping alone and that he should spend the night outside, where the temperature difference between day and night was huge. If he really got cold outside, he would definitely get sick tomorrow.
The tent is big enough for two people to sleep in.
"Hmm, I'm sleepy. As you predicted, Xie Junchen, come in and sleep."
Xie Junchen was overjoyed, his heart pounding with excitement. "Yueyue, really?"
Song Shuyue's eyes were deep as she asked, "Isn't this your purpose?"
Xie Junchen felt embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed. He scratched his head awkwardly and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
His purpose was too obvious from the moment he set up the tent.
Song Shuyue crawled in and lay down. Xie Junchen swallowed hard, took off his coat, and lay down as well, feeling a bit cold.
Song Shuyue covered herself with the small blanket and couldn't help but find it a little funny to see the stiffness on the other person's face.
Their intentions are obvious, yet their actions are quite simple.
The so-called "having the desire to steal but not the courage to do so".
Song Shuyue suddenly turned around and looked at him. Xie Junchen was shocked and straightened up with a whoosh. A surge of heat rushed through his body, and his whole body felt as if it were being roasted over a fire.
Song Shuyue immediately noticed his ears turning slightly red. She really didn't know if this man was genuinely naive or just pretending to be serious.
He prepared a tent and deliberately acted embarrassed. Why didn't he seem embarrassed when he crawled in earlier?
Song Shuyue smiled, reached out and brushed a stray hair away from her eyes, her voice soft and gentle, lacking its usual aloofness.
"Xie Junchen, am I a monster? Are you afraid of me?"
Xie Junchen felt a jolt, as if something had exploded in his mind, and hurriedly shook his head.
"No, Yueyue, I didn't think that way."
Song Shuyue commanded, "Lie down, I want to sleep. It's creepy to keep sitting like this."
"Yes."
Xie Junchen lay back down, and after noticing that Song Shuyue's breathing was gradually stabilizing, he felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders and relaxed completely, supporting his head with his hands.
I just stared blankly at her sleeping face.
Does this count as them sharing a bed?
The next second, Song Shuyue's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Xie Junchen was so frightened that he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.
