[Comprehensive] I eloped with Jiao Rong

The two sat there in a daze, speechless for a while.Hong Jiaodong put down the milk tea pretending to be calm, but his fingers trembled involuntarily.

"I'll pay you a drink." He said first, and then denied himself, "No, I..."

Lin Yuanxun parted his lips slightly, and couldn't help laughing after being surprised.

"Why are you so natural..." She coughed a few times with a laugh, dazedly aware of a big hand reaching out to pat her on the back, and subconsciously twisted her body to hide.That palm paused, then stroked along her back to help her breathe.

"It's not about giving me a new cup of milk tea at all... Hahaha, don't touch it, it's so itchy..." Lin Yuanxun continued talking, but suddenly realized something was wrong, and the laughter stuck in his throat.Seeing that she stopped coughing, Hong Jiaodong slowly withdrew her hand.

"Don't force yourself to talk while laughing. It's easy to choke. The belt of the bathrobe is very tight. If you need first aid, you have to untie the belt, which is very inconvenient." He said to her solemnly, taking the last bit of fried noodles Hold the mouth with wooden chopsticks, put down the empty yakisoba box, eat a bunch of dumplings in two or three bites, and then pick up the takoyaki.

Lin Yuanxun stared at him blankly, his face blushing every inch of his face.

He can now...touch her so naturally...

She thought for a while, suppressed the wild thoughts in her heart, took a deep breath, and opened her mouth.If she wants to develop further with him, there are some things that must be made clear.

"Actually, before you came, I thought you were very similar to my father..."

Lin Yuanxun's voice paused, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Hong Jiaodong's movements stopping.He raised his head and looked at her, with a bit of bewilderment in his eyes, showing an aggrieved look of "I didn't expect you to treat me like a father".

She put her feet in clogs together and smoothed the cool yukata fabric on her legs.

"It's not what you think... I mean, since I was a child, my father put work first." Lin Yuanxun said softly, his thick eyelashes trembled, and his sea-blue eyes dimmed, " He always forgets about the appointments with me, and when I ask him later, he will just tell me lightly that he has to work. I was known as an 'unwanted child' in school, and I also suffered from it at that time. Some grievances."

To put it simply, Lin Yuanxun was thrown in a boarding school since he was a child, and he didn't see his father several times a year.Since childhood, she has been the "child without parents" in the eyes of her classmates.To be more specific, many things happened during this period. For example, when she was in elementary school, she was isolated by her classmates and was said to be a bad child, so her parents did not come to pick her up; She can't participate in any group activities that require the consent of her guardian, and she is not included in most of the group photos in the graduation album she got when she graduated; when the three-party meeting was held, it was only her and the head teacher...

Even in aristocratic schools, campus bullying is still serious.What's more, because of her appearance, she can easily attract other people's attention.Appearance, family background, whether you are loved or not, these are all factors used for comparison.Minors are creatures that are easily full of malice without knowing it. Girls like to hold hands and run to the finish line. Anyone who misses a step will become a different kind. Kaoru Hayashihara, who is a child, is naturally as conspicuous as a light bulb in the dark.No matter how rich Lin Yuanxun's parents were, they neglected to take care of her, and she suffered a lot in the past.

But Lin Yuanxun didn't intend to say so much in detail to Hong Jiaodong.These things have happened too many times, and later, she was numb when she was young, so that when she recalled it now, she could only pick up a few fragments of memory that remained.

"But my dad won't even say 'sorry' afterwards. He thinks he'll let me use the money he makes, and on top of that it doesn't matter what he does. You at least feel guilty after missing an appointment. This That's enough, so I forgive you." Lin Yuanxun said softly, drawing circles aimlessly on his knees with his fingers, "Actually, it's not that I can't accept that people around me put work ahead of me, I know it's normal. It's just...it's better not to take it for granted afterwards. If I'm abandoned...I'll be sad too."

"I'm very lacking in love, Jiao Dong." She turned her face away in embarrassment, carefully clutching the fabric on her legs with both hands, her eye circles were a little sore.

Hong Jiaodong looked at Lin Yuanxun silently, a corner of his heart was so soft that it was a mess.He didn't have a painful childhood, but at least Andeva valued him, and he also had a strong personality. He had been a loner until high school, but he had never been bullied.Seeing Lin Yuanxun who is similar to him but not the same now, he seems to have suddenly changed from that weak and young victim to a protector.

The girl in front of her was like a small animal soaked by rain, trembling silently in the corner of the wall.Later, when she saw him, she plucked up the courage to stretch out a small paw from the shadows, pawing lightly on the corner of his clothes with water marks, but she was always ready to hide in the shadows again when she was rejected.

"I didn't give up." The man's low voice suddenly rang out, breaking the slight sourness in Lin Yuanxun's heart, "I don't mean to give up on you."

A palm with sharp lines and sharp knuckles grabbed Lin Yuanxun's hand and turned it over. The scars and calluses on the palm of her hand were gently scratched on the back of her hand, causing a slight itchy sting.Lin Yuanxun turned her head in astonishment, and saw that Hong Jiaodong had put down the takoyaki at some point, and pulled out a handful of long and thin incense sticks from her pocket like a magic trick, and put them in her hand.

There are about ten incense sticks in a handful of Hanabi, wrapped in brightly colored cheap tissue paper, exuding a slight pungent smell.Lin Yuanxun looked at the stick of incense sticks and firework, then raised his head and met his scorched eyes.

The gray eyes are full of stable tranquility, while the blue eyes melt with clear gentleness.Hong Jiaodong stared at Lin Yuanxun, and said softly: "I made an appointment, we want the two of us to watch the fireworks together."

Lin Yuanxun was stunned, as if a corner of his defense had been shattered violently, the hard shell was shattered inch by inch, exposing the fragile and soft inner core.She thought that the person who broke the wall of her heart would hurt her, but she didn't expect him to tenderly care for the softest part of her heart...

She clenched the incense sticks and firework in her hand, leaned on the steps with one hand, and stood up.

"Then let's light it!" Sniffing lightly, Hayashi Yuanxun took one out of a bundle of incense sticks, and then froze again.

"There's no lighter..." She muttered blankly, standing where she was, like a poor child who was about to enter the door but was blocked by security from the amusement park.

Hong Jiaodong then stood up, holding Lin Yuanxun's wrist with his right hand to fix it, and resting the fingers of his left hand against the end of the incense stick, an orange flame ignited on his fingertips.

Seeing the crackling of incense sticks and fireworks, Lin Yuanxun came back to his senses and let out a soft "ah".

Bright white sparks exploded in all directions, dazzlingly bright in the night.It was the first time for her to play with this kind of fireworks, she was afraid that the sparks would splash on her bathrobe, so she squatted down in a hurry, raised her arms to lift the incense sticks and fireworks far away, and shook her hands involuntarily, screaming and watching the fireworks Shaking from side to side, the toes curled up involuntarily in excitement—like a kitten that sees something interesting and wants to scratch it but is afraid of burning its paws.

Hong Jiaodong squatted down beside him, watching Lin Yuanxun light one after another.The flickering light swayed and reflected on his face, tracing out his soft facial contours.Lin Yuanxun glanced at him inadvertently, then quickly withdrew his gaze, staring intently at the dazzling Mars, only his pointed ears trembled, and a light red glowed.

The last three incense sticks were burnt out in Kaoru Hayashibara's silence.She reluctantly withdrew her empty hand, which was stained with a little dust, and looked back at Hong Jiaodong.

"Compensation is not enough." Lin Yuanxun said, his voice seemed to be trembling because of embarrassment, "I...I still want to go to the amusement park with you."

Seeing that Hong Jiaodong didn't answer for a while, she hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Because today is actually mine... mine..."

Today is actually my birthday.

These words rolled on the tip of her tongue for a long time, but she finally swallowed them down.

"Forget it, it's nothing..." In the end, Lin Yuanxun still couldn't say that sentence.She patted the ashes in her hands, stood up, and the clogs lightly rolled the ground.

Be more mature, Lin Yuanxun, don't think that you are a child who can get what you want by acting like a baby.She told herself that in her heart.

"I'm very happy today." Lin Yuanxun stared fixedly at Hong Jiaodong, and finally showed a sincere smile.

It was the happiest birthday I can remember.

Hong Jiaodong nodded as if he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go to the amusement park together next time. Also, happy birthday, Kaoru." He whispered, spreading the palm of his right hand towards her.

"Huh...huh?" Lin Yuanxun nodded and suddenly realized.Before she had time to ask why, Hong Jiaodong's flat palm suddenly shone with blue fluorescence.

A column of crystal clear ice spikes rose slowly from his palm, and stopped when it reached about fifteen centimeters.Then, like a plant's young buds, the center of the ice thorns gradually spread out branches, forming thin ice flake flowers and leaves with small jagged teeth, and a bud-like ball bulged out at the end.

Accompanied by a slight sound of "Kerala", the "buds" at the end gradually split into uniform lines.Afterwards, the round ice ball burst into dozens of petals as thin as cicada's wings.In the dark night, the rose transformed from the ice blooms brightly, pure and hard, shining with a clear cold light.

"Actually, when we met at the police station for the first time, I accidentally saw the birthday date written on your form, because it happened to be this month, so I remembered it..." he explained.

Lin Yuanxun's pupils narrowed slightly, and he opened his mouth slightly when he saw the ice rose plant in Hong Jiaodong's palm, but his throat was so dry that he couldn't speak.

Hong Jiaodong handed the ice rose to her.She stretched out her hand to take it, and the tentacles were piercingly cold.

Lin Yuanxun hugged Bing Meigui, and the circles of his eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Is it too cold?" Hong Jiaodong was taken aback, and he reached out his hand to take Bing Meigui.Unexpectedly, Lin Yuanxun held on tightly to the stem of the ice rose, and his voice trembled: "What if it melts?"

"I'll make it for you after it's melted." Seeing that Lin Yuanxun's fingers were a little red, Hong Jiaodong said hastily.

Lin Yuanxun shook his head: "It won't be this branch anymore."

Hong Jiaodong was helpless, so he had to persuade her from another angle: "I didn't think carefully. Give me this first, and it won't melt if I hold it."

Hearing this, Lin Yuanxun easily let go, and handed Bing Meigui to Hong Jiaodong.He held the ice rose in one hand, hesitated for a moment, and held Kaoru Hayashi Yuan's wrist with the other.

"Come with me." Hong Jiaodong whispered, pulling Lin Yuanxun up the ramp along the steps.

The ramp is the place where the temple fair stalls are set up.It was past ten o'clock now, and the originally bustling road was empty at this moment.Hong Jiaodong walked around behind the wooden roof, and he didn't know what he was doing, but Lin Yuanxun only felt a sudden light in front of his eyes.

The washi paper lanterns that had been extinguished as early as ten o'clock were turned on again, illuminating the surroundings.Warm orange lights shine from street to street.In the middle of the empty street, Kaoru Hayashihara held his breath.

Seeing Hong Jiaodong coming out from behind the roof, she asked softly, "Can you turn on the switch again?"

Hong Jiaodong was silent for a few seconds, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Of course not," he said, "so we'll only drive for half a minute."

Lin Yuanxun's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.Subconsciously, she pressed her hand lightly to her chest, counting the seconds while looking back at the bright street.

"I thought that professional heroes would not do anything against the rules." She said in a concealed manner, deeply remembering this scene in her heart.

"Even a professional hero would occasionally make some innocuous mistakes like ordinary people." Hong Jiaodong walked to her side and said slowly, "...I think so."

Lin Yuanxun turned his head and looked directly into Hong's scorched eyes.The originally chaotic heartbeat suddenly became regular at this moment, and the heart hit her chest repeatedly, bringing a burst of sweet pain.

The young man standing in front of her was young, handsome, and powerful, with a faint smell of sweat on his body, holding the ice cube rose given to her in his hand, and only her shadow in his focused eyes.But for a moment, she actually felt that even if all these things changed, even if all these advantages in him disappeared, her mood at the moment would not change.

"Will you date me?" Lin Yuanxun asked softly.

Hong Jiaodong lowered his eyes slightly.

"Okay." He replied softly.
