Butterflies Fly Over Winter Chapter 40
byChapter 40 Summer Night Elopement
Chu Yiqi stared at Meng Yike and joked half-seriously: “I have a problem, copyright issue!”
“I only sang one line. Sorry, it’s not up to standard yet.”
“Bad review!”
Xi Ai did not let Chu Yiqi go: “Then I know how to answer this question – the tea that was sun-dried the year before last.”
Chu Yiqi was even more petrified.
How can someone be sensational one moment and then suddenly become confrontational again?
However, Xi Ai’s singing is actually very nice. When I hear Xi Ai singing a cappella in such an environment, I feel a kind of throbbing, as if the reeds on the roadside are suddenly swept by, causing an itch.
Question, what is it like to hear your beloved singing your own song?
Chu Yiqi didn’t know and couldn’t tell.
So Chu Yiqi made a quick decision and chose a song by Xi Ai: “The butterfly wings fluttered away a grain of dust, and the city wall gradually tilted.”
Xi Ai paused, raised her toes but turned around again, so the tail of her skirt swept over Chu Yiqi. She raised her eyes to look at Chu Yiqi, with a smile in her eyes: “What are you doing? Do you also want to open the title page filled with what-ifs?”
Chu Yiqi was dazed for a moment, and then let his eyes sink into Xi Ai’s eyes. She knew that this was the second half of the song. It sounded like a work after a breakup, but that was their ambiguous period.
The lyrics all sound like a test.
Chu Yiqi belatedly realized that the song was unreasonable at the time, but then he thought about it and remembered that the song Xi Ai sang was really a song written after the breakup, and suddenly felt that it was nothing.
The timelines of two people talking to themselves are overlapping and confusing, like the separation of love in reincarnation.
When it came to Shi Yunshan and Meng Yike, it was even more blatantly showing off, but with the foreshadowing of the three people in front of them, it seemed reasonable and funny.
It won’t let all the focus fall on the two of them, but it can also promote their passionate love.
A slow and obscure couple, this is already the most high-profile one.
“Cui Ying Chui Ying, I haven’t heard you sing such a little love song for a long time. Can I have an encore this time?”
“I think Yunshan can be a bit more burning.”
“That’s good.”
The two people at the center of the topic did not dare to express their opinions – because they were exposed to the facts.
“That’s up to chance.”
Several people exchanged a few lyrics, and then started chatting.
Nie Chuiying: “Who can tell me something very important?”
After a moment of silence, Shi Yunshan patted Nie Chuiying on the forehead: “You should ask, people who don’t tell half of the story are the most annoying.”
“I mean, you’d better ask something after I’ve been holding it in for a long time.”
“That’s right, someone can give me five million out of nowhere.”
“…”
When Shi Yunshan raised his eyes, he met the profound meaning in Xi Ai’s eyes with his own helplessness. He tilted his head again, and Chu Yiqi, who had his back to the camera, looked at him without smiling.
“…” for what?I can really give.
Chu Yiqi looked away, lowered his eyes and groped in the coat hanging on his arm for a while, then looked at Xi Ai, who raised her eyebrows slightly, as if asking.
Chu Yiqi handed over his hand. Xi Ai didn’t know why, but she still subconsciously extended her hand and received the chocolate from Chu Yiqi.
Like an unspoken temptation.After the test, the two of them each took a half step forward and acted like normal friends.
Or it could be said to be a show of goodwill. After showing goodwill, she would no longer deliberately avoid suspicion, and Xi Ai was not allowed to hold on to it.
No matter which one it was, Xi Ai agreed.
“Are you okay?” Yu Nianxi choked for a long time, unable to hide the weakness in her tone.
Shi Yunshan, on the other hand, was determined to be a lover who never disappointed: “Do you really dare to accept it for no reason if I really give it to you?”
“Next time, ask for a higher price.” Xi Ai smiled, happily stuffing the chocolate she had just smuggled from Chu Yiqi into her mouth.
Chu Yiqi glanced at her, raised the corners of his lips a little, and then followed Xi Ai’s words: “The lady will really give it to you if you drive too low.”
“The suggestion here is just 10 million.” Yu Nianxi didn’t know what to say, “Then just give me half of it,”
Su Luojian finally broke the formation: “So why on earth do you want to discuss this issue so seriously?”
Xi Ai: “Because it’s inexplicable.”
Chu Yiqi spoke almost at the same time. She said, “Because it is an important matter for the saplings.”
“Because it’s a bit cold right now, I want to put my hands in my good friend’s bag.” Nie Chuiying smiled and said in a low tone.
It was rare for them to have a tacit understanding at this time, and the exchange of messages was particularly smooth. Yu Nianxi also slowly followed the second half of the plot: “Then I accidentally touched a card, and then accidentally dropped it on the ground. I picked it up very kindly and broke it to her, so that my good friend would give me 10 million with great gratitude.”
“Let’s shout out the name of Chui Ying’s good friend, shall we?” Meng Yike would not let any words fall to the ground.
“She is…”
“It’s me, but you are all confused.” Shi Yunshan listened for a long time, smiling all the time, then lowered his eyes and walked in sync with Nie Chuiying, who had been pestering her for a long time.
Some conversations that are not nutritious come and go quickly, but something else quickly attracts attention.
“Look over there!” Yu Nianxi raised her hand and pointed to a bridge that was still some distance away. There were some vague sights on it, so she couldn’t see clearly, but she could tell that it was a night market.
Chu Yiqi looked at Xi Ai, who was also obviously interested and looked at the bridge in the distance.
Nie Chuiying glanced at it, and her voice sounded lazy: “I want to eat squid on the iron plate.”
“I want to eat octopus balls.” Shi Yunshan said smoothly and started to name the dishes.
But Yu Nianxi said: “It’s not tasteful, I’m going to eat the small yellow croaker.”
Fortunately, there was Su Luojian who was more reliable. She glanced at her phone and said, “Okay, I ordered a portion of Drunken Shrimp and I’ll pick it up on the way.”
“Sister Luo, you are the best.”
“There is also a matcha cake.” Su Luojian kept remembering that Xi Ai was allergic to seafood and was not willing to eat even river seafood, so she ordered two other snacks.
Xi Ai also saw this completely, so she said happily: “Wow, thank you, Sister Luo!”
Chu Yiqi Peng touched Xi Ai’s arm and asked silently: “Would you like to sneak over for a walk first?”
Xi Ai tilted her head and looked at Chu Yiqi’s expression.
Chu Yiqi’s eyes were always filled with various emotions, such as a little uneasiness, mixed with indescribable expectations, and the gentle lights on the river were shining brightly, dazzlingly.
It was completely different from a few years ago. In a similar scene and with a similar question, Chu Yiqi didn’t have the slightest worry at that time. He was just flirting with her in a weird way, like a beautiful butterfly resting on his fingertips. Its wings were flickering, and it was clear that he was very well-behaved, but he was leading people and her away.
After a moment, Xi Ai suddenly raised her lips and smiled, her beautiful eyes full of evil excitement mixed with some other expectations.
It’s like…
She wanted to take advantage of this to realize another dream, so she dreamed of Zhuang Zhou. She was very happy.
Chu Yiqi got an affirmative answer, so their eyes met, and the two of them subconsciously wanted to pull each other up to start a late summer night elopement that no one knew about.
The fingers touched together and then moved away from each other in a tacit understanding, so Chu Yiqi grabbed a piece of white skirt that was free on Xi Ai’s waist, and Xi Ai held Chu Yiqi’s wrist through the layer of knitted sweater.
“See you later!”
Meng Yike asked deliberately: “Where are you two going?”
Chu Yiqi looked back at them, but the people around her jumped down the steps without looking back and shouted: “Go watch the acrobatics!”
Chu Yiqi corrected himself and said, “Xi Ai ordered milk tea and went over to get it!”
“Okay, I hope you can run slower,” Nie Chuiying looked like she had seen everything through, but when the camera came over, she still turned into a bright happy person, “I promise I’m not worried about the milk tea.”
“Bye!”
After running away for a while, Xi Ai stretched out her hand and brushed away the reeds beside the road, and the velvet on her hand was stained. Chu Yiqi looked at her and laughed.They eloped hand in hand and fled towards another summer night.
*
Chu Yiqi let go of Xi Ai, and the two of them ran down a small path. No one knew when there was no one there anymore.
“As for that, Teacher Chu.” Xi Ai panted lightly, and she could still breathe out her own smile. It seemed that she was not too tired.
Chu Yiqi stood opposite Xi Ai, her mask already pulled down to her chin. She looked at Xi Ai with a look of dependence and intimacy that she didn’t even notice.Chu Yiqi said: “If I want to elope with you, I hope it will be as soon as possible.”
Look, this person has always been like this. He seems to be on the passive side, but in fact he is more skilled at seducing people than anyone else, but he seems to be unconscious.So some words that others said about love seemed to have been brewing for a long time, but when it came to Chu Yiqi, they just seemed to be expressed on the spot sincerely.
Xi Ai was half-leaning on the railing, combing her hair behind her back, and let the night breeze blow her way.
Maybe it’s because the person is very beautiful, so any scene seems to be specially constructed.
Chu Yiqi was slightly lost in thought, completely unaware that he was twisting his hair sideways and could only see one person with his eyes. Once they met his eyes, people would want to just immerse themselves in those eyes. Even if they drowned, it would be like a long dream without waking up.
Xi Ai heard Chu Yiqi calling her from the sea: “Xi Ai, happy birthday.”
“Sister, did you take me so far just to say happy birthday to you alone?” Xi Ai blinked and looked at her with a gentle, affectionate and cunning rabbit-like expression.
Chu Yiqi smiled, her eyes so curved that they almost reached the heart of a person, and she said, “Of course not.”
Xi Ai’s heart softened, and she felt that this was the most suitable arc, and even if it was an exception, it would only come from Chu Yiqi at another time.
“Do you mind if I change my plan?” Xi Ai asked.
“I’ll think about it.”
“Would you mind having a date with the birthday girl first?
Chu Yiqi’s smile became brighter: “Maybe it’s not a change of plan.”
“That’s really a connection.”
So the two held hands and walked slowly for a while until a bell rang.
One of the consequences of two people looking for their phones at the same time and setting the same ringtone is that the actions they hear on the phone must be synchronized, like a task triggering mechanism.
This time it was Xi Ai, and she looked like she was working.
Chu Yiqi let go of his hand and walked two steps to Xi Ai to see her.Hearing Xi Ai mention Silin Bay, Chu Yiqi didn’t ask any more questions and didn’t intend to listen.
Xi Ai was a little apologetic, tilted her head to look at Chu Yiqi, and cooperatively put her chin on Chu Yiqi’s hand. However, Chu Yiqi had a bad idea and kept dropping his hand. Xi Ai chased after it twice and squatted down directly.
“You are so good!” Chu Yiqi directly hallucinated the cat, and it was a beautiful white cat.
Chu Yiqi kept laughing silently, and finally straightened up, handed his hand to Xi Ai, and said in a low voice: “I promise this time it’s true.”
Xi Ai smiled, used her strength to stand up, and while the other person was talking, she also whispered: “I’m sorry, Teacher Chu.”
“It’s okay, I’ll go for a walk first. Since our teacher Xi can’t eat seafood, I’ll eat it quietly first and come back.”
“Then I’ll come find you.”
Chu Yiqi shook his head: “Wait for me here.”
“Really?”Xi Ai still felt a little sorry, so she took Chu Yiqi’s hand, pinched her fingertips and shook it slightly.
Chu Yiqi deliberately looked fierce and refused to comment: “It must be.”
“Promise to complete the mission, Commander Xiaochu.”Xi Ai smiled obviously this time, and even raised her hand in a ceremonial salute.
When Chu Yiqi came back, Xi Ai had just hung up the phone, with her coat on her wrist, half leaning on the railing to look at Chu Yiqi.
Chu Yiqi’s eyes seemed to be filled with moons. Xi Ai ran toward her, and Chu Yiqi opened his hands and walked a few steps with a smile on his face.
Because he was holding the coconut, Chu Yiqi didn’t really hug Xi Ai, so he had to stand behind Xi Ai again, put his chin on Xi Ai’s shoulder, and handed the coconut to Xi Ai.
“Taste it?”
Xi Ai took a sip from Chu Yiqi’s hand.
