After Jiang Chuning left the restaurant, he did not go home directly. Instead, he walked alone by the river, surrounded by bright lights and beautiful scenery.
She took out her mobile phone, took two pictures and sent them to Jiang Shanghan to send him a message.
However, the message was sent and no reply was received.
Jiang Chuning closed the screen of his mobile phone and lay on the railing blowing in the wind.
After a while, the phone vibrated several times.
It's a call from Jiang Shanghan.
Seeing this, Jiang Chuning answered the call while arranging his hair that was blown by the wind, and said in a brisk tone, "Are you done?"
Jiang Shanghan hummed, and then said, "Jiang Chuning, do you want to go see the river?"
Jiang Chuning thought he was referring to the two photos she sent. She tapped the ground with her toes and nodded: "When? Is it okay tomorrow?"
"Now."
His voice was blown away by the wind. Jiang Chuning thought she had heard wrongly. She turned her head and tried to find a place with less wind. But when she raised her eyes, she saw Jiang Shanghan standing with his mobile phone in his hand.
Two meters away from her.
Jiang Chuning was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly and ran towards him, throwing herself into his arms: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Shanghan put away his phone and hugged her with one hand: "Jiang Yuan said you guys would eat here."
Jiang Chuning felt a little regretful: "Ah?
If I had known earlier, I would have waited for you to come together..."
"It doesn't matter, it's the same now."
Hearing this, Jiang Chuning raised his head, rested his chin on his chest, and said with crooked eyes: "How do we get to the river? Take a boat."
"Take a ride on my yacht."
…
Jiang Chuning had gone to the river on a yacht with her classmates and friends before, but she never expected that Jiang Shanghan could actually drive a yacht.
She sat next to him, dangling her feet slowly.
It's not the height of summer yet, and the wind at night is very comfortable, with a hint of coolness.
After a while, the yacht sailed away from the noisy riverside and headed deeper into the darkness.
The entire river is very quiet, and the sky is full of stars overhead, which indicates that tomorrow will be a good weather.
Jiang Chuning said: "I went to buy a birthday gift for my dad today, and I bought it for you too."
Jiang Shanghan turned his head to look at her, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Huh?"
Jiang Chuning's face turned red: "I can't tell you now, and time is a bit tight. I have to be my father's first, and I'll give it to you in a few days."
The corner of Jiang Shanghan's lips curled up, and he looked back at the endless darkness. After a while, he said: "Okay."
Jiang Chuning put his hand back on the table, but hit something.
She turned around and took out a bottle of champagne.
Jiang Chuning asked: "Can I drink it?"
Jiang Shanghan said: "Okay."
However, as soon as he said the words, he regretted it. Just when he was about to stop him, Jiang Chuning had already found the champagne glass from nowhere and was opening the cork with great interest.
Jiang Shanghan put the tip of his tongue against his teeth and leaned back in his seat. After a few seconds, he said, "Ning Ning, it's windy here. Drinking will give you a headache."
Jiang Chuning pulled out the cork: "It doesn't matter. I'll just drink a little. I won't get a headache."
With that said, she poured half a cup into the cup and handed it to Jiang Shanghan: "Do you want to drink it?"
Jiang Shanghan said: "I can't drink."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Chuning realized that he really couldn't drink while driving a yacht.
She said: "Then I will drink it myself."
At this time, Jiang Shanghan's cell phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, raised his head and told Jiang Chuning: "Drink less, I'll answer the call."
Jiang Chuning nodded obediently and stretched out his hand to sign with him: "I'll just drink this little."
Jiang Shanghan gently rubbed her head, stood up, walked a few steps, and stood by the railing to connect.
Jiang Chuning raised his head, drank the contents of the cup, and licked his lips. He thought it tasted quite good and didn't feel too hot. He was a little thirsty after eating hot pot, so he poured it into the cup.
By the time Jiang Shanghan came back from answering the phone, Jiang Chuning had finished the bottle of champagne and was sitting on the yacht looking at the night sky and giggling.
Jiang Shanghan walked over: "Ning Ning."
Jiang Chuning turned to look at him, her smile became brighter, and she stretched out her hand to point to the sky in the distance: "Look, there are many moons, twinkling..."
As she said that, she tilted her head again: "No, why do these moons look like stars..."
Jiang Shanghan took off his coat, put it on her shoulders, held her hand, and took it back: "Stop looking, I'll take you inside to sleep."
Jiang Chuning looked at him with blurred eyes: "Sleeping?
Jiang Chuning hugged his waist tightly in an instant and pouted: "Then I don't want to sleep, I want to be with you."
Jiang Shanghan put his hand on her shoulder and said in a lower voice: "Ning Ning, after you leave Jiangzhou, don't come back again. Go to a new place and start the life you like again."
Jiang Chuning nestled in his arms and instinctively replied: "But I only like you."
Jiang Shanghan hugged her a little tighter and said nothing, just kissed her forehead gently.
Probably because he had been very happy recently, Jiang Chuning was unexpectedly quiet after getting drunk this time, and did not cry or make trouble like last time.
After sitting on the yacht for more than ten minutes, Jiang Shanghan hugged her and entered the room inside.
When Jiang Chuning was put on the bed, his hands were still holding the shirt around his waist tightly.
Jiang Shanghan tried to pull her hand away, but every time she noticed his intention, she started to groan, her brows furrowed, her little face full of grievances, as if she would fall asleep in the next second.
Cry out.
He exhaled slightly and sat on the edge of the bed.
Jiang Chuning pushed further and leaned against him, sleeping more and more contentedly.
Jiang Shanghan lowered his eyes and just looked at her, his emotions difficult to distinguish.
…
Jiang Chuning drank and slept again. When he woke up the next day, he felt lazy all over.
She closed her eyes and stretched, but her hand didn't know what she touched.
Jiang Chuning half-opened his eyes sleepily and saw a familiar profile face.
The memory of last night came back to my mind instantly.
So they are... still on the yacht?
Jiang Chuning was startled and found her cell phone beside the pillow. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there were no fatal serial calls from her father on it.
Jiang Chuning lay down again, resting his head on Jiang Shanghan's chest, rubbing it contentedly.
It felt so good to open my eyes and see him next to me.
But who knew that as soon as she moved, Jiang Shanghan's palm clasped the back of her head, and his voice was low, with an imperceptible hoarseness: "Don't move."
Jiang Chuning looked up at him and found that his eyes were still closed, so he whispered: "Are you awake?"
Jiang Shanghan hummed softly, his Adam's apple sliding up and down.
