imaginary rival

The scene of the bonfire show is actually very simple.

In a particularly large open space at the back, there is a large bonfire surrounded by four squares, surrounded by a group of laughing and joking people shaking with the music. They are strangers to each other, but they can chatter and laugh under the music. There are also small stalls selling fried rice and drinks outside.

The flames rose so high that the tip seemed to burn to the sky.

Jiang Shiyu and Yan An walked over, there were no seats on the side where Zhang Ci and Qi Xunjing sat, and Sun Ke and Xie Lanlan sat on the other side, they didn't want to be light bulbs, so they found an empty seat and sat down, watching The people around are buzzing.

They were silent as if they had just walked out of the crematorium, obviously out of tune with the surrounding environment. Jiang Shiyu stared at the flames and remained silent.

People seem to have a certain ability, as long as there are many people gathered together, no matter what they are doing, it will be extraordinarily lively.

Yan An's gaze was a little erratic, he looked at Zhang Ci for a while, then at Xie Lanlan for a while, grabbed the small stones beside him and fiddled with them with his fingers.

After a while, a few girls came over, leaned over to them, and said with a smile, "Hi."

"Ah." Yan An looked up at the short-haired girl in front.

"Add a WeChat." The girl handed over the phone.

"Sorry, no tissues." Yan An shook his head.

Jiang Shiyu immediately looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.

"What?" the girl squatted down with a smile, "Adding a friend is not about scanning the QR code to give away tissues."

Only then did Yan An come to his senses, took out his phone and made friends with the girl.

The conversation at the beginning was quite awkward, but it was precisely because of this embarrassment that the girl seemed to be more interested in Yan An, with a smile in her eyes: "My name is Song Wei."

"My name is Yan An." Yan An nodded, and wrote a note for her.

which wei?

Yan An just wanted to ask, but when he raised his head, Song Wei continued, "The only one."

"Okay." Yan An saved the notes.

Song Wei sat directly on the other side of Yan An, and her little sisters were sitting beside her, laughing and not intentionally coming to talk to Yan An, and a few little girls sang softly along with the loud speaker at the back, Song Wei would chat with Yan An occasionally.

Jiang Shiyu couldn't hear what they were talking about.

The music was so loud that Jiang Shiyu always felt as if they were sitting in front of the stereo, except for a few middle-aged men beside him yelling at Jiang Shiyu heart-piercingly, he couldn't hear anything clearly.

He picked up a small stone at his feet and threw it lightly forward. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Yan An and Song Wei who seemed to be chatting happily.

I am very happy.

After all, Yan An is handsome and attractive just by looking at his appearance.

The inside is also very good, the person is very nice, very considerate, very silly, very gentle... he is very good to every friend.

He is nice to all his friends.

Jiang Shiyu turned his head to look at Yan An, and suddenly reached out to touch his arm.

"Huh?" Yan An immediately turned to look over.

"The song has changed." Jiang Shiyu said.

"Yes." Yan An nodded, looked towards the bonfire in front, and turned his head to Song Wei after a while, probably because she called him.

What are you talking about?

Dare to speak louder.

Did you not eat?

Jiang Shiyu was a little annoyed, so he picked up another stone and threw it forward.

"Hey, you guys are sitting here." Zhang Ci came over at some point, and approached Jiang Shiyu and Yan An very familiarly, "Let's go back, have some barbecue and play games or something." , it's so boring here."

"Okay." Jiang Shiyu responded immediately.

"Are you leaving?" Song Wei looked at Yan An, "Then bye."

"Goodbye." Yan An waved his hand.

Xie Lanlan and Sun Ke had already been called over by Zhang Ci. They had to go through the grove to get back to their camp. The boss's store was still brightly lit, and there were some meat and vegetables. Zhang Ci ran to get them to roast. Yes, and came back with a case of beer with Sun Ke.

"Are you still drinking?" Yan An was a little surprised.

"Let's talk if you can't finish the drink," Zhang Ci went to light the fire, "just treat it as a supper."

Several girls received a call from home and ran to the side to report that they were safe, and Jiang Shiyu lit the small bonfire in the middle of the camp by the way.

The flames came out gradually, and the firewood was crackling. Although it was not as good as the big bonfire just now, there were only a few of them in the camp area at the moment, and the light was not too bright and the sound of music from afar gave off a mysterious and weird feeling .

There was less barbecue, and after eating, Qi Xunjing took out the snacks he brought and shared them. Several people sat around the campfire and drank wine.

Yan An stared at Xie Lanlan for a while, then asked softly, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"No," Xie Lanlan shook her head, "I'm a little dizzy."

"Drink too much?" Yan An glanced at the wine bottle in her hand.

"En." Xie Lanlan responded.

"Stop drinking it," Yan An said, "I still have a headache when I wake up the next day."

"Oh, I know it myself." Xie Lanlan pushed him.

"My father asked you what's the matter!" Yan An was amused by her push, and his eyes lingered on her face for a while.

Jiang Shiyu sipped his wine, looking not in a good mood, Sun Ke looked at the three of them for a while, and suddenly suggested: "Otherwise, let's tell a ghost story."

"Come on, it's late at night," Yan An said quickly, "It's scary to go to the bathroom at night and have to cross a small road."

"Change to another one." Xie Lanlan also said.

"That's the old show," Zhang Ci snapped his fingers, "Truth or Dare."

"It's quite old," Sun Ke said. "The last time I heard about this game was at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. This game was written on a piece of cloth and was excavated with the archaeological team..."

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Ci didn't understand.

"Say your game is old enough to be a cultural relic." Jiang Shiyu put the finished wine aside.

"I've turned [-] turns for myself. Is there any lack of morality?" Xie Lanlan laughed for a while, "That's it, it's nothing interesting anyway..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly glanced at Jiang Shiyu, and said with a smile: "Just play the old game in the old way, turn the wine bottle, turn it to whoever it is, turn it to yourself, it doesn't count, choose the truth or take a big risk, no All I'm willing to do is... drink a bottle of wine."

"How much?" Yan An turned his head and stared at her in shock.

"Half bottle, half bottle," Sun Ke raised his hand and pressed on Xie Lanlan's shoulder, "You can find a replacement."

"Why do I feel that the two of you have no good intentions?" Qi Xunjing said with a smile, "Didn't you come here as a partner?"

"Who can turn the wine bottle around?" Xie Lanlan cleaned up the surrounding things, took out a freshly drunk wine bottle and put it on the ground, "Who will come first?"

"You go first," Yan An said, "You celebrate your birthday."

Xie Lanlan did not refuse.

The first round of wine bottles pointed to Qi Xunjing, and Xie Lanlan asked conservative questions, maybe because she didn't want to open too much at the beginning, Qi Xunjing answered the questions, and it was her turn to turn the bottles in the second round.

Jiang Shiyu braced his face, and glanced at Xie Lanlan from time to time, he always felt that this game was pushed a little too forcefully.

It was as if Xie Lanlan had discussed with Zhang Ci that he must bring this game to them, and they would ask them what they wanted to know.

The second round pointed to Zhang Ci, Qi Xunjing was not familiar with him, so he pointed to a simple task with a smile and asked him to complete it.

"You guys are so boring," Zhang Ci took the bottle after returning, "I'm in full swing."

"Fine." Sun Ke nodded.

The wine bottle turned again, Jiang Shiyu was still holding his face, when everyone's eyes fell on him, he switched back to the business mode, and talked to them with a smile, when no one was looking at him, he was bored, always felt that this game was not interesting .

The third round pointed to Sun Ke, and Zhang Ci laughed for a long time, with "Your boy finally fell into my hands" all over his face, and said: "Choose the truth or take a big risk?"

"The truth." Sun Ke said.

"When did you like Xie Lanlan?" Zhang Ci asked immediately.

Sun Ke paused for a while, then rolled his eyes forcefully toward the sky: "Grade [-]."

"Grade one?" Xie Lanlan was stunned, "I didn't know you then, did I..."

"Ah." Sun Ke replied vaguely.

Yan An saw that Xie Lanlan's face turned red instantly, it was so funny, she could blush so obviously in a scene where the firelight blinded her eyes, Xie Lanlan must be familiar by now.

He smiled for a while, and then his eyes fell on Jiang Shiyu, and after staring at him for a while, he slowly looked away.

Jiang Shiyu noticed the departure of his gaze, and sighed lightly.

Sun Ke turned the wine bottle as if he wanted to open the bottle to Zhang Ci. Zhang Ci grabbed Yan An's arm and laughed wildly. Touch Yan An's hand.

"What are you doing?" Yan An was like a siri.

"Stay closer to me," Jiang Shiyu whispered, "It's a bit cold."

"Ah? Oh," Yan An moved to Jiang Shiyu's side, putting his arms on Jiang Shiyu's body, "Do you want to put on your coat?"

"No need," Jiang Shiyu said with his face propped up, "this is fine."

Yan An nodded, and with the other hand, he grabbed the turf under his body and pulled it hard.

too close.

He heard his heartbeat gradually speeding up, like a villain playing a drum with a small hammer, and each beat was faster than before.

Being so close, would Jiang Shiyu hear anything?

Yan An took a deep breath lightly.

The mouth of the wine bottle was aimed at Yan An, Sun Ke raised his head and raised his eyebrows at him: "What do you choose?"

"Speak the truth." Yan An scratched his face.

He must get up for a big adventure, right now...he doesn't really want to move.

"Okay," Sun Ke handed over the bottle and asked with a smile, "Do you have someone you like?"

This question is very vague and easy.

Whether Yan An said yes or no, Sun Ke couldn't pursue anything.

Jiang Shiyu understood very well that of course Yan An has someone he likes, and he can't say it. Sun Ke and Yan An will have to fight for [-] rounds tonight.

He felt that Yan An's arm on his shoulder tightened, and then quickly relaxed, and he was amused for a while: "I'd better have a drink."

"This kind of question, what's the difference between you choosing to drink and telling him that you have someone you like?" Jiang Shiyu couldn't help but said, turning his head to look at Yan An, "Stop drinking, I want to drink half of the bottle, just say As long as you have someone you like."

They don't know who you like anyway.

Yan An stared at him, opened his lips slightly for a while, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't say anything, shook his head and said, "I'd better have a drink."

Jiang Shiyu bit his lip.

Sun Ke narrowed his eyes, sat back, and whispered something to Xie Lanlan, Xie Lanlan's expression was still a little stiff, Jiang Shiyu didn't know if it was his own illusion, Xie Lanlan looked at him with strange eyes.

Yan An next to him was drinking, and he held his shoulders tightly with his hands. Jiang Shiyu didn't have the desire to break free, but snatched the bottle from his hand, and said in a low voice, "I will help you!" you drink."

"I..." Yan An stared at him, Jiang Shiyu clicked his tongue impatiently, "Are you not sure how many bottles you drank today?"

"Is the person you like here?" Zhang Ci asked.

Just as Jiang Shiyu wanted to say that he didn't need to answer, Yan An fooled him. He breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the bottle before drinking, and suddenly heard Yan An say softly: "Yes."

Only Jiang Shiyu heard it.

Of course.

he thinks.

Can Xie Lanlan not be here for her birthday?

He drank the punishment wine for Yan An, and the game continued. Finally, after Xie Lanlan finished a big adventure, it was her turn to turn the bottle. The mouth of the bottle was precisely aimed at Jiang Shiyu. She smiled for a while, tilted her head, and asked: "What to choose?"

"The truth." Jiang Shiyu said.

"Oh," Xie Lanlan smiled, but Jiang Shiyu saw her holding Sun Ke's hand tightly, "Jiang Shiyu, is the person you like present?"

This question is very acute.

Instead of asking Yan An, who is gentle and vague, if there is anyone he likes, he directly asks if the person he likes is present.

If my feeling is correct, Xie Lanlan should have already guessed something.

But she needs an affirmative answer.

Is the person you like present?

Of course.

Who do you like?

The person I like is... Yan An.

I like Yan An.

I especially like Yan An.

If he didn't like Yan An, from the end of the second semester of his second year of high school to today, it has been more than a month since he was more than embarrassed and hesitant.

But his liking cannot be said, not a single word can be mentioned.

Yan An just looked over, with a little confusion in his eyes, as if wondering why he didn't answer or choose to drink.

Jiang Shiyu caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye, and his entire gaze was drawn to him. He stared at Yan An for a while and then turned his head. He wanted to tell Xie Lanlan that I was drinking, but he happened to meet Xie Lanlan's gaze.

He had never seen Xie Lanlan look at him like that.

Scrutiny, entanglement, and some very complicated emotions.

Jiang Shiyu picked up Yan An's bottle of wine just now, and drank the rest in one gulp. When Yan An's finger touched his, he suddenly stretched out his hand and held Yan An's hand tightly. Struggled, but didn't want to pull out his hand.

"Forget it after drinking," Zhang Ci came out to smooth things over and break the embarrassment, "Next, next, Jiang Shiyu should turn to you..."

"Yes." Jiang Shiyu said.

"...What?" Xie Lanlan spoke with some difficulty.

"The person I like," Jiang Shiyu said, "is at the scene."
