"Hey, hey, who's the silly girl who got angry, dressed up in the middle of winter to wait for you by the roadside, brought you delicious food, asked if you were tired or sleepy, and told you to sleep at her house?"
Yun Ming thought and thought, but couldn't come up with a reason. He slapped his head and quickly caught up with the girl, asking with a grin.
"Hongdou, tell me honestly, do you have a crush on me?"
"…"
Hongdou stood stunned by the cable car, her mouth slightly open, unable to speak. Even the staff were dumbfounded.
So bold at such a young age? But little brother, you're not that oblivious, are you? Even if you're handsome, at least give the girl some face!
"You, you want to die! What are you saying this for, out of nowhere?"
"Get in quickly!"
She pushed Yun Ming into the cable car.
As the doors closed, the world suddenly fell silent. Both of them were quiet, with only the mechanical hum from the cable car connections.
Clunk, clunk, clunk, as it descended.
I heard from the seniors… the people of Ailidu list this cableway as one of the top ten dating spots.
Whether at sunrise or sunset.
There's always a unique beauty. Two people, squeezed into a quiet cabin, gazing at the distant coast, leaning on each other, whispering… just like the current scene.
Hongdou didn't dare to think any further. She truly couldn't understand what that idiot was suddenly asking just now.
Who has a crush… on this blockhead? Well… actually, she didn't understand these things either, and there was no one to ask. If she told her school seniors, they'd definitely be bigmouths, digging for every last detail.
If she asked Bai Xian, she would definitely tease her.
As for her dad, she definitely couldn't tell him.
She just liked being with Yun Ming, and wanted to be with him in the future, that's all. It wasn't anything messy or anything else.
Since he wasn't speaking, she could only remain silent.
She looked at Yun Ming, but he was lost in thought, observing the outside world, his demeanor ethereal, like an immortal banished to the mortal realm who didn't partake in earthly food… Looking closely, this guy was indeed quite handsome.
His black hair was wild and flowing, his lips a little thin… but bright red and translucent.
Girls always like to notice details, like the strong lines of his face and his bobbing Adam's apple.
And the light mist on top of his head from waking up early, the downy hair on the young man's face gleaming, his eyelashes gently fluttering.
He looked a bit handsome.
So, she took out her phone and secretly snapped a joint photo, one, two, three… No wonder Zhi Mo Ge was so addicted to taking pictures. He was simply too photogenic.
Just as her spirits were high, she heard Yun Ming suddenly say.
"I used to wonder, what if this cableway suddenly broke, and the cable car fell?"
"…"
Hongdou was speechless.
"What can be done? Chill out, do it grandly!"
"That wouldn't happen. If this cable car suddenly fell, I could still protect you from getting hurt."
Yun Ming responded earnestly, patting his strong chest to demonstrate his strength.
"Can't you say something nice?"
Ruining the atmosphere… Hongdou was furious, clenching her hard fists and hitting Yun Ming's head, but then immediately felt bad for her hand.
She wasn't a cultivator… "A gentleman uses his words, not his fists. Look at you, hitting me again… It's only because I don't bother with you. Otherwise, even if it were Senior Brother, I'd still give him two slaps."
Yun Ming rubbed his head, not understanding why he was hit when he said he would protect Hongdou. It really hurt!
Although he was a cultivator, Hongdou also practiced martial arts, and that was a hard punch… Didn't Hongdou's hand hurt too?
"Alright, alright, I'm a petty person. Only petty people and women are impossible to deal with, right?"
The cable car began to sway. Hongdou chased Yun Ming, hitting him in the confined space, not caring that she was wearing a qipao.
She ripped a seam along her leg.
Yun Ming knew he shouldn't have said another word. Feeling in the wrong, he could only cover his head and scurry away.
"If you're so capable, hit me back! A few days ago, you pinned me against the wall, weren't you very capable then?"
Hongdou finally said it.
Of course she hadn't forgotten, but what made her even more exasperated was that she actually didn't dislike it… Soon, she stopped, panting, and stared at Yun Ming without speaking.
"Sorry… I was wrong that day. Does your butt still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt… Don't bring that up again. I don't know…"
"Then let me rub it for you~"
"You want to die! I said it doesn't hurt! And I don't know!"
Hongdou was truly about to explode with anger.
It was only her; any other girl would have cried from anger by now. Who would still be talking nicely to him here?
Yun Ming, for some reason, couldn't say anything good today. He wasn't usually so dense… The cable car gradually approached the ground, but Yun Ming didn't speak for a long time, not even knowing to coax her.
She turned her head, pouting, and asked.
"What are you looking at?"
"Beautiful…"
"Just, next time, don't wear makeup. You don't need it."
"Oh… oh oh… that… what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
Hongdou was incoherent, clutching her small hands and fidgeting. No, how did this even start with a zero-frame opening?
"If you didn't hear clearly, forget it."
Yun Ming smiled, took off his jacket, and tied it around Hongdou's waist. That girl had moved too much while hitting him just now and accidentally ripped her clothes… Out of politeness, he only glanced.
Yes, only one glance.
Actually, Hongdou should gain a little more weight. She was fair enough though… "You…"
Hongdou was flustered. How could this person be so shameless? Would he die if he just praised her properly? And where was he looking?
She followed his gaze and only then noticed the qipao slit up to her waist, becoming flustered. She wished she had changed into something more comfortable to move in.
To tie the jacket around her waist, he naturally had to embrace her for a moment. Just then, the cable car landed, and the side door opened.
Yun Ming then naturally put his arm around her and stepped out of the car.
"…"
Hongdou still didn't speak, walking a bit unnaturally, holding Yun Ming's arm as if searching for something to cover herself, afraid that a strong wind would blow her clothes open.
But to the two stalkers behind them, that looked like… "The cable car was shaking just now, right?"
"Impossible… Miss's clothes just ripped…"
"You're right, how could Second Senior Brother, such an upright young man, do such an absurd thing? I was being crude."
"Are you going to report it to Manager Chen?"
"What about you? Little Master…"
The two had figured out each other's identities, exchanged glances, and couldn't help but shake their heads. It was hard enough to get a date, just let them be in peace.
"Good, we're united."
… "You saw everything just now, didn't you?"
Hongdou whispered. There were many people on the road, and she was no longer noisy, dutifully becoming Yun Ming's shadow.
"What did you say?"
"Playing dumb again."
"Hmm… Next time, don't foolishly wait for me on the mountain. My heart aches, and if others find out, they'll nag me for being thoughtless…"
Yun Ming gently rubbed the girl's flaxen hair. Her head was round. Perhaps she hadn't fully matured yet, and her oval face wasn't so obvious.
His gaze was deep, and he walked and thought.
Today, he seemed to have discovered a shocking secret.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. He had even deliberately tested it just now, intentionally offering to rub Hongdou's butt, but she only gave him an exasperated look.
When he got close, Hongdou blushed.
When he spoke, Hongdou's emotions fluctuated wildly.
So, is there a possibility, that is to say—
Hongdou really liked him?
