Crimson Garland

N is already familiar with this school, and soon drove to the downstairs of l's dormitory.

She watched L fluttering down from the stairs in the dormitory hall like a little butterfly. She didn't slow down until she reached the mirror at the gate, and straightened her clothes carefully.

"Tch." Seeing l's series of actions from lively to upright, n let out a chuckle.

This little fox is really good at pretending to be serious.If l hadn't seen with her own eyes the lively side that she thought she concealed well, it would have been really difficult for n to pick out any faults from her usual serious behavior.

"Good evening, teacher." L approached N's open car window with a smile, and greeted her with his head.

"Come up." N glanced at her: "What do you want to eat?"

"It's fine." L opened the car door and sat in, answering very standard and boring.

It was warm and genial in May, and the evening wind squeezed in through the car window and then into people's arms.

N glanced at L and saw that L seemed to be staring out the car window in a daze, feeling a little amused in his heart.

"How long is the vacation?" N looked back and asked the road ahead.

"Two weeks." L put one hand on the open window of the car, and replied with a very relaxed expression.

"It's been a long time. Where are you going to play?"

During the rush hour on the eve of May Day, the roads were very congested.The car drove to the side of the famous square in the city. Seeing that there was still a long way to go, it was impossible to drive through.

"Where not to go..." Speaking of this, L became weak.

"Coincidentally, I'm not going anywhere." N tried his best to find a way, and replied with a smile subconsciously.

Is there any deep meaning in this sentence?Are you hinting at something?

L grabbed the seat belt and glanced at n, only to find that n was looking for the way seriously with his glasses on.

Or maybe it was a casual statement.

"Just get off here, I really can't drive anymore." L quickly inserted the car into an empty seat, turned off the engine and unbuckled the seat belt.

There is still a street away from the city square, but standing on the side of the road, you can just see the city landmarks on the other side of the square.

It was still light at six o'clock in the evening in May, with a warm heat.The wind softens the hustle and bustle of the city, making people want to open their hearts for no reason.

"There are delicious home-style desserts over there," n pointed across the street, "there is a buffet on the other side, and there are Japanese and Thai dishes in front, all of which are good. What do you want to eat?"

Looks very skilled, l couldn't help smiling and glanced at n: "Would you like to eat wherever is near?"

The little slacker. n laughed: "Okay."

The sidewalk was a bit crowded, l subconsciously rubbed against n, and the two of them were close together.

"..." After walking for a while, l suddenly hesitated to speak and looked up at n a few times.

What are you looking at? n noticed it and felt a little funny.

What do you want to say, but dare not say it directly? In fact, N vaguely understands in his heart that this little fox-like l should like himself.

There will be people who like it, and n himself likes l quite a lot.So she thought about it, and opened her mouth tentatively.

"What do you want to say?"

n's tone is very gentle, with a little inductive.

L blinked and finally spoke, but what he said was an extremely unnutritious topic.

"...The weather is fine today, and the wind is very warm..."

What kind of nonsense is this?Do you need to hesitate to speak for this sentence?

N felt a little amused by her cowardice, and after a casual answer, both of them were absent-minded, chatting and walking forward.

A meal is also passed in the dialogue between the left and the right.The two of them actually even talked about the playlist they were used to listening to, but the topic still didn't reach what L wanted to talk about.

A little anxious, and a little angry. L looked at N's calm expression and muttered to himself.

She came out wearing the best clothes on purpose, washed her hair and carefully adjusted her expression, so she couldn't just say nothing!

After the two of them finished their absent-minded meal, they watched the sky gradually sink.

"Let's go for a walk." N looked at the wide city square and asked L.

"Yeah." L looked at the child with the night kite in the square, and nodded.

The kites flying at night are wrapped with fluorescent lights of various colors. When they take off, people below can look up and see the brilliance like twinkling stars.

L raised his head and walked and watched for a while, then suddenly lowered his head again.

The wind was very warm at night, n brushed the hair hanging in front of him, and suddenly moved a little closer to l, the two shoulders collided, and the faint smell of sea salt entered l's sense of smell.

Why did you come over all of a sudden? l stuck to n nervously, and slowly continued to walk forward.

"You will be graduating in two years." n didn't give l a chance to think wildly, and suddenly asked, "where do you want to go after graduation?"

"There are still two years... I haven't figured it out yet." L replied sullenly.

"Two years soon." N smiled and glanced at her: "Don't you have any ideas?"

L was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

The sky darkened, and the people and flowers and trees in the surrounding fields were covered with a dark blue color, which was heavy and thick.

I don't know if it was because the dark sky made people bold, or the surrounding noise made l bolder, she suddenly grabbed one of n's hands beside her and dragged him to a stop.

"Huh?" With a gentle smile on his face, N followed her and stopped.

The two stood beside the high flower bed, and the towering city landmarks in the distance suddenly turned on the night lights at this moment, and the colors and shadows under the changing LED lights.

"If we can't see each other often," L was a little nervous, "...will you still remember me?"

What are you talking about. n replied with a smile: "I will."

L seemed to have taken a reassurance, thinking to himself: You can't lie to me.

Slightly reassured, L continued to ask: "...Then, will we still see each other often in the future?"

n's smile became more obvious, she nodded, her tone was very light: "Yes."

"Really?" L was encouraged by N's smile, and his eyes jumped up, shining like the eyes of a small animal.

"Well, really." N continued to nod, suppressing the desire to reach out and touch L's head.

L originally thought that her childish questions would make people feel embarrassed, but she didn't see the slightest hesitation on N's face, which made her feel happy.

So the elated L took advantage of the situation and asked another question.

"Do you like me?"

As soon as the question was uttered, l's face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, the night was still dark, so it didn't look so obvious.

L comforted himself, extremely nervous.

It's night in the city, and the square is very lively.The kid with the kite finally flew the kite away with a few grandpas.

The boring but loud sound of spinning a spinning top rang out. Several people adjusted the volume of the radio, and gradually the sound of square dancing came from far away.

Children playing roller skating shuttled through the crowd, and the shining wheels were colorful.In the distance, the peddler selling luminous toys showed signs of tossing luminous toys over and over again, throwing bright arcs in the night.

Everywhere is lively and warm, but the world behind the high flower bed is quiet and slow.The wind in May has a strange power, which can open people's hearts.

L felt that this moment should not have passed for three seconds, but it felt to her that it had been a long, long time, until N finally smiled and spoke again.

"I like you."

Her tone seemed to be sighing, which sounded light and shallow.

L heard the answer he wanted, but felt that it was not so real, as if the words quickly melted into the wind, slipped into the noisy voices of the crowd, and disappeared.

"I really like it!" L was a little anxious, she wasn't joking, why was n's tone so serious.

"Really, I really like you!" L clenched his fists and looked at N seriously.

N felt amused in her heart, of course she knew what liking was and what real liking was.

She was not in a hurry to defend, she just nodded: "Well, well. I know."

Um? L was a little dazed, she looked at n, n was still smiling, but there was something in that smile that you don't usually see.

L was a little flustered, and she felt that her face was burning hot.

"Then do you still like me?" L asked again in a low voice.

At night, the city is colorful, and the lights of tall buildings and roadside lights complement each other.From a distance, l saw the light of fine powder bursting out from the music fountain.

On such a hot night in May, L felt that he fell into the arms of a person who was not familiar, but not unfamiliar.

In the night when the sounds of music, human voices, and traffic are intertwined, May brought warmth, and everything seemed full of life.

n's voice clearly cut through the noise in the night.

She said, I like you.

The author has something to say:

I can really think about it.
