Difficult To Raise Chapter 57
byChapter 57 Meteor Halfway through, Jiang Jin remembered…
On the way, Jiang Jin remembered to call He Siyu and tell others that he had found it.By the time he carried Jiang Ran back to the camping area, the rest of the people were already waiting there.
When He Qian saw that he was being carried back, he immediately came over and said worriedly: “Ran’er, what happened to you? Did you fall on your leg?”
Jiang Ran was a little embarrassed. If there was no problem, he couldn’t seem to explain it clearly. He could only reply vaguely, “It was just a twist. It’s not serious.”
He Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly: “It’s okay if it’s okay, it’s okay if it’s okay.”
Two girls also came forward to apologize, each one feeling guilty. The girl named Chen had her eyes swollen from crying.
Jiang Ran looked at them and said a few words that it didn’t matter. Then Jiang Jin came over with a cold face and chased them away, and the two of them went back.
After all the hard work, everyone was very tired. When they finally took a break, they felt so hungry that they could eat a cow.
Everyone rested for a while and started cooking something to eat.After eating, I looked at the time and saw that it was already ten o’clock.The best thing about camping in the mountains is that you can see scenery that cannot be seen in the city.
They set up some camping lights and lit a bonfire.Several people sat in a circle, drinking beer and enjoying the evening breeze.
Jiang Ran symbolically sprayed medicine on his feet and sat in the crowd. He raised his head and saw the stars in the sky connected together, shining in tiny pieces, and they were so beautiful that they were beyond human.
He Qian looked up and sighed, “It’s so beautiful.”
Others also noticed and took pictures with their phones.Unfortunately, the stars in the photo are very different from those seen with the naked eye, and can only restore one-tenth of the beauty.
Only Jiang Jin was sitting there, neither looking at the stars nor the moon, but always staring at Jiang Ran, his eyes lingering and gentle.Fortunately, everyone’s attention was attracted by the stars at this moment, and no one noticed.
Jiang Ran looked at it and turned his head, meeting his eyes.
He moved his lips and asked almost imperceptibly: “If you don’t look at the stars, why are you looking at me?”
Jiang Jin smiled lowly and imitated his manner and replied in a low voice: “You look good.”
Jiang Ran choked and quickly turned his head away from him.
A group of people had had enough of watching the stars, and Shen Xin suggested: “Let’s play some games, don’t waste this atmosphere.”
“Okay.” He Qian said, “What are you playing for?”
“Werewolf?” Zeng Meiling asked.
“Forget it, let’s play something else.” He Qian said with a bitter face, “I’ll lose in the werewolf game, it’s boring.”
“Then truth or dare.” Shen Xin thought for a while and said, “This is easy too.”
No one else had an opinion.So a few people got together to play the game with great interest. Shen Xin took out her mobile phone and called up the dice rolling mode: “The one with the smallest number loses.”
Everyone nodded, Shen Xin was the first to shake.After a round of shaking, only Jiang Jin shook a little, so he naturally lost.Zeng Meiling had the most points, so she asked the question. She looked at Jiang Jin with a smile, “Truth or dare?”
Jiang Jin said softly: “Tell me the truth.”
Zeng Meiling stared at him for a while and asked a very cliché question: “Do you have anyone you like?”
Jiang Jin subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ran, who was sitting opposite him. Jiang Ran glared at him fiercely, turned away from him, and took a stick in his hand to poke into the fire.
Jiang Jin smiled lowly and replied, “Yes.”
“Oh?” Zeng Meiling asked curiously: “Is he from your school?”
Jiang Jin said: “This is the second question.”
Zeng Meiling shrugged, “Okay.”
At the beginning of the second round, Jiang Jin lost again.This time it was He Qian’s turn to ask him, and he laughed, “You are so unlucky! That question just now was not exciting at all, let me ask a fun one…”
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Jin interrupted: “I choose a big adventure.”
He Qian: “…”
There was a smile on his face, “Okay, then…”
He Qian rolled his eyes and suddenly thought of an idea, and said excitedly: “You call the person you like now and tell him that you had a dream last night and kissed him all night.”
Jiang Jin glanced at Jiang Ran and hesitated.
He Qian immediately said: “Hurry up! Can’t you afford it?”
Jiang Ran’s heart almost rose to his throat, and he immediately said: “This is not good, what if I haven’t decided whether to confess to you yet.”
“What’s wrong?” He Qian said with a smile: “With his face, he still has a secret love, maybe it will be settled as soon as he confesses.”
Others also chimed in: “If you don’t agree, just say you lost the game. What does it matter?”
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Jiang Jin slowly took out his cell phone and asked, “Do I have to call?”
He Qian: “Stop talking nonsense! Fight quickly! Don’t be shy!”
There was a smile in Jiang Jin’s eyes, and his gaze passed over Jiang Ran as if he was there, and he said helplessly, “Okay then.”
Jiang Ran’s face turned red and he blurted out: “Don’t, don’t hit!!”
He said as he tried to stand up.
He Qian quickly held him down with quick eyes and hands, “Don’t make trouble. Hurry, hurry, hit him.”
Jiang Ran had never felt that He Qian had such strong hands. He watched Jiang Jin press the screen and make a call under the urging of everyone.
It’s over, it’s over!!Jiang Ran’s heart almost jumped out of his chest. He couldn’t even imagine how people would look at them when his cell phone rang and they found out it was Jiang Jin calling?
This is too fucking social!No one believes it if it’s a coincidence!The more Jiang Ran thought about it, the more he collapsed. He looked like a cooked shrimp and his face turned red abnormally.
One second, two seconds, three seconds… time passed bit by bit, and what he expected did not happen. Jiang Jin took the phone off his ear and said casually: “It’s turned off.”
Jiang Ran was startled, and suddenly remembered that his mobile phone had run out of battery a long time ago. He only focused on eating when he came back, and he didn’t have time to recharge it. He couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief.
He Qian was suspicious: “What a coincidence?”
Jiang Jin simply turned on the speaker, and as expected, the sound of his cell phone being turned off came from inside.
He Qian didn’t see the excitement and was a little disappointed. He turned his head unconsciously and suddenly glanced at Jiang Ran’s red face. He asked strangely: “Ran’er, why are you blushing?”
Jiang Ran: “…hot.”
He Qian wondered: “Is it that hot? I still think it’s a bit cold at night in the mountains.”
Jiang Ran:……
He turned his head and glanced at He Qian, gritted his teeth and said, “I am born with body heat.”
He Qian said “Oh”, “Really? Then take off your coat quickly, your face is so red, it looks like you have an allergy.”
As he spoke, he pulled off his coat with his upper hand. The coat slipped off, revealing a red mark on his exposed arm.At this moment, a gust of cool wind blew over, and goosebumps instantly appeared on Jiang Ran’s arms.
It’s really… weirdly cold.
He quickly put on his coat, met He Qian’s eyes, and opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
Jiang Jin suppressed his laughter and watched the excitement for a while. Seeing that Jiang Ran could hardly get off the stage, he calmly changed the subject and said, “Let’s play the next game. Don’t waste time.”
*
After playing the game, everyone was still in high spirits.He Qian drank two more bottles and insisted on squeezing next to He Siyu. He held his shoulders and went crazy with alcohol. He kept saying, “Hey, little mute, aren’t you from the band? Let’s sing a song and listen to it. I want to hear it but I have no choice but to do so.”
He Siyu said coldly: “Get lost.”
“I won’t.” He Qian had a drunken look in his eyes and held on to him, “If you don’t sing for me, I will always rely on you. Just sing one song, just one song…”
He Siyu was so annoyed by him that he walked away with a cold face, and He Qian quickly wrapped her around him. Before, he was hugging his shoulders, but after a few times, he was hugging his neck.
“Sing quickly, I’ll let you go after singing.”
He Siyu couldn’t avoid this drunkard, so he couldn’t bear it and poked Jiang Jin, “You come and sing.”
Jiang Jin raised an eyebrow and looked at him. The meaning was obvious. Why should I sing?
“Hurry up.” He Siyu paused, frowned slightly, and said with an unhappy look on his face: “Look back… I’ll do your homework for you.”
“Okay.” Jiang Jin suppressed a smile and bargained: “Writing for a week?”
“Yeah.” He Siyu said coldly.
“I’ve already said it,” Jiang Jin came closer, twitching one corner of his mouth and gloating: “There will always be someone who can cure you, little fat guy.”
He Siyu’s lips tightened, and he endured it again and again before he could hold back from punching Jiang Jin’s flat face, thus preserving the precarious friendship between them.
But Xiangdao couldn’t hide the look in his eyes. Jiang Jin only glanced at him, then he suppressed his smile and coughed, “What are you singing?”
He Qian turned his head and repeated, “Qing… Qing is a last resort.”
“You have to do it, right? No problem.”
Without a guitar in his hand, the effect of singing a cappella might not be very good. Jiang Jin thought about it, took out his mobile phone and played an accompaniment song.
This is a classic old song that is widely circulated. Netizens joked that this song is suitable for singing to people you like because its tone is very cheerful and sweet.But when Jiang Jin sang it, there was just a touch of tenderness.
He sang a few lines along with the rhythm, but seemed to have forgotten the words. He lowered his thin eyelids and glanced at the screen of his mobile phone.
As he sang, his eyes fell on Jiang Ran’s face.
Maybe the fire was too bright, maybe the atmosphere was too good.The moment he looked over, Jiang Ran forgot to dodge.He stared straight at him blankly, watching the young man bend his eyes in the firelight, and smiled softly.
After all, it is a sweet song, which makes people feel happy when listening to it. After the song, everyone applauded.Shen Xin became interested and even sang a few songs. Although she did not pursue a career in music after graduation, her love for music has not diminished at all.
When they met a familiar song, everyone couldn’t help but sing along. Halfway through the song, a stream of light suddenly passed across the sky quickly, leaving a long shadow in the night sky, which looked beautiful and dreamy.
“Wow! It looks like a shooting star.” Because of the angle, Zeng Meiling was the first to notice it. She stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly: “Look!”
Jiang Ran raised his head in the direction of her finger and happened to see a shooting star flying brightly across the sky.
It was really a shooting star. Jiang Ran was stunned. He had never seen a shooting star before in his life.
“How lucky are you to encounter a shooting star here? It’s so worth it this time!” Shen Xin looked back and stopped singing. She straightened up with surprise on her face, ran a few steps forward and found the best viewing position. “They say that if you wish on a shooting star, your wish will come true. I don’t know if it’s true.”
“No matter if it is true or not, make a wish first.” Zeng Meiling made a gesture, but saw the others still standing there, urging them: “What are you doing in a daze? Make a wish quickly. If you miss this time, you don’t know when you can see it again next time.”
Everyone knows that it is just a rumor and cannot be taken seriously.But there are so few opportunities to see shooting stars in life, and the atmosphere is so heightened that if you don’t make a wish, you’d be sorry for yourself.
After all, in the most secret corner of everyone’s heart, there are more or less hidden desires that are unknown to others.
Everyone stood up one after another, excitedly chasing the direction of the meteor, and made wishes enthusiastically.
Shen Xin clasped her hands in front of her chest, making a classic wishing gesture.He Qian leaned on He Siyu, glanced at her drunkenly, and sneered, “Idiot, you have to close your eyes when you make a wish, otherwise it won’t work.”
Hearing this, Shen Xin turned around and glared at him, but still closed her eyes as he was told.
He Qian turned his head after smiling, and his confused eyes fell on He Siyu’s face. His confused thoughts made it difficult for him to tell who the person in front of him was. After looking at it for a few seconds, he simply closed his eyes gently and said slowly: “My wish is…”
He Siyu reached out expressionlessly and pinched his chin, turning his head in a different direction. When that slender white light flashed by, the rest of He Qian’s words just fell out.
“…I hope everyone around me is well.”
He Siyu was slightly startled, and his light-colored pupils showed some complicated emotions. After a few seconds, he lowered his eyes and said coldly: “How stupid, can you still speak it?”
Jiang Ran stood quietly in the crowd, also looking at the shooting stars.He once saw a saying on the Internet that the reason why wishing on a shooting star can come true is because the wish that can be made in just a few seconds must be repeated in the heart, a long-awaited obsession.
If you keep thinking about it, there will be repercussions.
It’s likely that it’s not the shooting star that fulfills your wish, but that you’ve been working hard in that direction.
He turned his head to look at Jiang Jin and found that at some point, he had also closed his eyes and was making a wish with a serious look on his face.The way Jiang Jin closed his eyes was a little different from usual, less distant and cold, and inexplicably reminiscent of some kind of harmless little animal.
There was something strange in Jiang Ran’s heart. He immediately looked away, grabbed Meteor’s tail, and silently told Meteor the unspeakable words.
“I hope we won’t be separated from him again.”
