Chapter 134
"Bye~"
"Okay, let's go."
The class reunion of Class 3-2 finally ended at 2 in the morning.
When they walked out of the store, the street was already quiet, with only a few streetlights shining.
"He's so heavy...!"
Two boys supported William Wei, who was having trouble standing, and lifted him up from the sofa.
"I'm not drunk."
He mumbled with his head drooping, his mouth still murmuring something.
"Then let's send Wei ge back first."
"Be careful on the way."
"Don't worry, bye."
...
...
"I've never seen Teacher Wei like this before."
Roxie Lin covered her mouth and laughed.
"Xiaoyu, I'm leaving too."
"Oh..."
Raina Nan lightly responded and looked at her profile.
It seemed like nothing had happened between them, even though they had just argued with Bell Tong...
What happened between them? She didn't know.
At least Roxie Lin didn't seem to have any intention of telling her...
...
"Be careful on the way."
"Yeah, don't worry. I'll just take a taxi home."
She said with a smile, took a few steps, and then stopped.
After half a second, she turned around.
And took a few more steps towards Raina Nan.
"Xiaoyu..."
"What's wrong?"
"What about me?"
She leaned in close to her ear, whispering softly in a voice only she could hear:
"I'll always stand by your side, Xiaoyu."
"..."
Her voice was filled with warmth, almost intimate, lingering in her ears.
"If you encounter any trouble, you must tell me, okay?"
"..."
She fell silent, instinctively taking a step back.
Looking up, she saw the reassuring smile on Roxie Lin's face.
"..."
When did Roxie Lin become someone so reliable compared to her own self, who couldn't move forward?
"I understand..."
She said, nodded slightly, and finally revealed a faint smile.
...
"Hehe, then goodbye for real this time."
After Roxie Lin finished saying what she wanted to say, she satisfiedly walked a few steps back with her hands behind her back.
She turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
"..."
Raina Nan stood still, watching her figure until she got into a taxi before turning around again.
"Don't move!"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind.
Before she could react.
An arm reached from behind and locked around her neck.
She was about to scream.
But another hand covered her mouth.
"If you don't want to die, behave... Ouch!"
Before the man could finish his sentence, he doubled over in pain, clutching his stomach.
"It hurts, it hurts! Little One, you want to elbow me to death!"
It was Samson Nan.
He held his stomach, his face slightly pale, and patted the ground in discomfort.
"Like I'm going to die...like I'm going to die..."
"Sorry, I thought you were a bad guy."
She remained expressionless, just looking down at him.
Then she slightly turned her head to the side and muttered under her breath:
"Tch..."
"..."
This girl was definitely doing it on purpose...
"...Where did you learn all these moves?"
He patted his butt and stood up from the ground.
"Weige ge taught me self-defense in PE class."
"..."
He was speechless.
This brat couldn't run or jump, but she learned this kind of skill so well...
"Let's go back..."
"Why didn't you answer my calls?"
She interrupted him, looking up at him.
"Huh? Calls? Did you call me?"
He paused for a moment, then took out his phone.
"Huh? Seems like there aren't any... Why don't you check for yourself?"He pretended, again, and handed her the phone.
Of course, he had already deleted those missed calls.
"Is that so...?"
She carefully went through his call log.
Indeed, there were none.
"Well, forget it..."
"Phew..."
He inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
...
...
"Let's go," she said, and started walking ahead.
"Wait," he suddenly called out to her.
Then he walked up to her, slightly bent down, and brought his face closer.
So close...!
"What, what are you doing?"
Her face instantly turned red.
"Little One, did you drink?"
"..."
She hesitated for a moment.
"Ah, well..."
Suddenly feeling silly for overthinking, she felt like a fool...
"How about it? Are you going to tell Mom?"
"Why would I? Just had a little drink, not drunk, it's no big deal~"
"..."
She looked at him with some surprise.
He never allowed her to touch alcohol, and especially after the incident at the beach last time...
But this time...
"We've already graduated, so we're not kids anymore," he said without looking at her.
"..."
She didn't say anything, paced her steps, and walked to his side.
"Just had a little...," she said.
"Is that so?"
...
The two of them walked along the empty street.
Silence, quietly magnified.
"But smoking is absolutely not allowed!"
He suddenly shouted again.
"You scared me!"
She slapped him angrily, then whispered again.
"I know, you're nagging..."
...
"Oh, there's a taxi."
A taxi happened to come in front of them.
Samson Nan was about to hail it when he turned around and realized that Raina Nan was holding onto his hem.
"What's wrong?"
"..."
She lowered her head, and her face couldn't be seen clearly.
"I want to walk a little more."
She said so.
"..."
He remained silent for a while, then slowly lowered his half-raised hand.
Taking one last look at the time, it was almost 2:30 in the morning...
"Aren't you sleepy yet?"
"Uh..."
"..."
"I mean, until when are you going to grab onto my clothes?"
"Huh? I wasn't..."
She seemed to realize something, became flustered, and was about to let go of his hem, which she had been holding onto.
But the next second, his hand grabbed hers.
"...!"
Before she could react, he exerted a little force and pulled her to his side.
"This way is fine."
"..."
Warmth spread from his palm and instinctively enveloped her hand.
"Little One, your face is very red~"
"Because I drank..."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah..."
She said, then raised her head slightly to glance at his profile.
"..."
Unexpectedly, he also seemed to be looking in her direction.
Their gazes intertwined for just an instant, then quickly averted, looking in opposite directions...
A brief silence.
"Geez... It's not like older brother is any different..."
"Me? I, I'm fine..."
He felt a bit embarrassed and reached out with his other hand, touching his cheek.
Only then did he realize
His face was burning hot, probably already red and not presentable...
...
...
Although they held hands, neither of them said a word.
He probably never imagined that there would be a day when walking with his little sister would make him so nervous that he couldn't speak...
Was it because there was no one else around, so they were hyperaware?
Anyway,
they needed to think of something to say...
...
"Oh, that's right."
As they walked, he suddenly slowed his pace.
"Didn't we say we would go out and play once you finished your exams last time?""... Eh?"
When he said that, she was stunned for a moment.
"Hey... you didn't forget, did you?"
"No, I didn't forget."
"So, have you thought about it? Where are we going?"
"..."
She fell silent. She had been busy preparing for the college entrance exam recently, and she had actually forgotten about this...
"Well..."
A moment's hesitation.
"I want to talk to Xiaoling and Ruoxi about it first..."
"..."
He paused for a moment, half a second, then said softly:
"They're coming too?"
"Is that not okay?"
"No..."
As he spoke, his facial expression briefly froze before he put on a smile again.
"Great, the more people, the more fun!"
"Yeah, and also my parents..."
"I already told them about it."
He seemed to have guessed what she wanted to say.
"My mom even said that you have never been on a trip before, so it would be good for you to go out and see the world."
"Oh..."
"So, go back and discuss it with your friends first. Once everything is settled, I will arrange the time."
"Okay."
She agreed, then walked away while staring at her own toes.
Seemingly lost in thought.
"Brother..."
She looked up, but couldn't bring herself to look at his face.
"Thank you."
Her voice, weak but clear, permeated the air of the late night...
"Thank me for what?"
He raised the corners of his mouth, looking with interest at her slightly blushing profile.
"You've been really nice to me, so I just wanted to thank you reluctantly..."
She muttered softly, looking to the side.
"... That's all."
...
He fell silent. For this girl, it was indeed a bit reluctant for her to say such words...
"Well, what can I do?"
He chuckled and placed his hand on her head.
"Maybe this is what true love is like~"
...
"..."
She suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Raising her head abruptly, she stared into his eyes.
"Why... why are you looking at me like that?"
One second.
Two seconds.
"I'm checking if you're lying to me."
"..."
He was taken aback.
The faint light of the street lamp reflected in her dark pupils.
She just stared at him without blinking.
"..."
She took a joke seriously?
"... So, did you find anything?"
"Nothing..."
"Tsk, but you stared at me for so long... scared me..."
"Heh~"
She hummed and finally looked away.
"I think you should stay at my place tonight. It's too late to go back, and my mom will slap your ass with the Dragon Palm if you go back now!"
He thought for a moment, then said.
"Okay, then carry me there!"
"Huh? Why?"
"I'm drunk."
"Bullshit!"
"Seriously, I can't walk anymore..."
She stood still, refusing to move...
This stiff way of acting spoiled was really not cute at all...
"..."
He was speechless, looking at her with drooping eyelids.
"If you want me to carry you, fine. But let's make it clear, don't start complaining later that my back touched your chest or my hands touched your butt. It's annoying!"
"Who, who would say that!"
"Heh, I don't know your tricks?"
"Go to hell!"
...
