He didn't speak again after getting out of the car. Pei Xiao kept walking behind him. The wind picked up even harder and ruffled her long hair. She felt cold, but she didn't make a sound.
Passing through the Wutong Straight Road and entering the tree-lined path, you can vaguely see the basketball court surrounded by barbed wire behind the lush cypress trees. Snow and water have accumulated on the ground, and there is no one playing ball. It is quiet and lonely.
Pei Xiao followed him and kept walking. Just when she thought this road would have no end, he suddenly stopped. Pei Xiao accidentally hit his forehead on his back and smiled awkwardly.
He turned back, pointed to the deserted basketball court and said, "She and I met here."
He said nothing more and continued walking, finally stopping outside the school auditorium.
The school was on holiday at this time, so the door to the auditorium was also locked. He took her around to a cement wall at the back of the auditorium. Just when Pei Xiao was in a daze, he had already taken off his coat, propped up his elbows, and relaxed
He climbed over the wall and stretched out a hand towards her.
Pei Xiao was stunned for a moment, he was going to...
But there was a little monster in her heart that kept urging her to try. Fortunately, she didn't wear a skirt today.
She also took off her high heels and put them on the wall, then rubbed her hands and stretched them on them. But her posture was obviously not as clean and tidy as his. She used her hands and feet to crawl on the wall like a wall-crawler, but she couldn't move it.
Fortunately, Xi Wanlai gave her a hand and she managed to put her legs up.
Xi Wanlai looked at her white toes resting on the wet cement wall, frowned, put his coat under her feet, and told her: "Don't jump down directly later."
After saying that, he put one hand on the wall and jumped down very lightly. Then he adjusted his posture and opened his arms to her: "Okay, let's jump."
Pei Xiao hesitated for a moment. If he didn't catch it properly, she would definitely be injured by the gravel when she landed barefoot. If she jumped wearing her high-heeled boots, her foot would be broken even if she didn't fall.
Xi Wanlai seemed to notice her concerns and urged her again: "Trust me, it'll be fine."
His words had a strange persuasiveness. Pei Xiao only hesitated for a second before throwing away his arms and jumping towards him.
Pei Xiao hit his chest. Xi Wanlai staggered back and held her firmly in his arms. As expected, her feet did not even touch the ground.
Pei Xiao felt the arms tightening around his waist, blushed, turned around and said, "My shoes."
He took her boots off the wall for her and helped her put them on.
The auditorium was dark and a bit scary. Xi Wanlai stretched out a hand to her, and she grabbed it instinctively.
He took her to the seat in the front row and then let go. He touched the button from nowhere, and a light suddenly lit up in the middle of the stage.
Xi Wanlai asked her with a smile: "Are you a little bored? Let me perform a show for you."
Pei Xiao nodded inexplicably and saw him stepping onto the stage.
He stood in the middle of the circle of light and coughed inexplicably nervously. In the dark auditorium, his voice echoed in his ears:
"Coco, are you willing to marry me, be taken care of by me all your life, and love me until death?"
Pei Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and stood up from his seat.
He smiled in the light, his eyebrows blurred into a gleam of light, as if urging her: "Hurry up and agree?"
She opened her mouth, but something seemed to be blocked in her throat, making her choked up uncomfortably.
