Thirty-one, our appointment (2)

  I saw Ou Yang Xiao Xiao's expression on her face was a bit off, and I was somewhat surprised. "What's wrong?"

  Ouyang Xiaoxiao hastily shook her head, "No, nothing. Hmm, you also want to go to Tibet?"

  I nodded, "Yes, I thought about it when I was in high school, to go see the Potala Palace and climb Mount Everest. Hmm, am I being a bit too greedy? Earlier, I also said I wanted to see the grasslands and the Gobi Desert."

  Ouyang Xiao laughed and said after a pause of two or three seconds, "Well, if time permits, let's go to Tibet together sometime."

  "Want to go to Tibet together?" I was stunned for a moment, doubting if I had misheard.

  "Yes," said Ouyang Xiao nodded.

  "But aren't you planning to go this year? I definitely can't make it, not just because of the time, but also financially. From April to now, three months have passed and I've only sold one script for 5,000 yuan. Who knows when I'll be able to write another one and sell it? By then, the flowers will have wilted. You'd better go yourself," I said with a wave of my hand.

  "It's okay, at worst, I'll lend you the travel and living expenses for now, and then you can pay me back when you earn money," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a smile.

  "You can't be serious?" I looked at Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a mixture of doubt and suspicion.

  "Hmm, I'll give you one minute to think about it. If after this minute you still want to go to Tibet with me, I won't agree either." Okay, now I'm starting the countdown, seize the opportunity," Ouyang Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

  "Then can I ask you a question first?" Seeing that Ouyang Xiaoxiao didn't seem to be joking, I felt a bit uneasy in my heart.

  "What's wrong?" Ouyang Xiao Xiao was slightly surprised.

  "Hmm, yes, why do you want to go to Tibet with me? Is it just a momentary infatuation or...?" I looked at Ouyang Xiaoxiao in puzzlement.

  "Hmm," Ouyang Xiao thought for a moment, "Well, let's just consider it compensation for when you bumped your head against the wall earlier."

  "Really? That's okay?" I asked in surprise.

  Ouyang Xiaoxiao smiled slyly and said, "Hmm, can I start timing now?"

  "Wait a minute," I hastily waved my hand, "I have another condition, you promise me and I will promise you."

  "What conditions?" Ouyang Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, "You're really stubborn, fine, I'll agree to it, go ahead and say it."

  I beckoned to Ouyang Xiaoxiao and she leaned in close, her ear inches from mine.

  Ouyang Xiaoxiao looked at me suspiciously, but still leaned her ear over.

  "Let's go back later tonight and just spend the night, we don't have to go to bed, okay?" I said in a low voice after glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention.

  "Disgusting," Ouyang Xiao's face suddenly turned red, and she gently hit me on the head.

  "Ah!" I let out a miserable cry immediately.

  "What's wrong?" Ouyang Xiaoxiao asked hastily.

  "You're not unaware that I just bumped my head against the wall and got a bump on it, now you still want to hit me with your hand," I said, pretending to be angry.

  "Oh, I forgot about this, sorry, sorry, it wasn't on purpose," Ouyang Xiaoxiao apologized with a guilty look.

  "Alright, I won't hold it against you," I said with a magnanimous wave of my hand.

  "Are you really okay? Hmm, let me take a look at that bump on your head, has it gone down a bit?" Ou Yang Xiao Xiao's tone was full of concern.

  "It's okay, it's okay," I smiled. "Actually, I was still a bit sore earlier at the hotel, but after leaving the hotel, I felt much better. Hmm, about that condition I mentioned to you earlier, did you agree to it?"

  "You're really bad," Ouyang Xiaoqiao scolded me with a mouthful of saliva, "You have to remember to accompany me to Tibet next time."

  "What's the point of going with you? It means going together. Please consider your words carefully." I pretended to be dissatisfied.

  "Hmph, still nitpicking? I'm just asking you to accompany me, what's wrong with that? Are you going back on your words now?" Ouyang Xiaoxiao said with a justified and confident tone.

  "Oh, okay, okay, I'll go with you, I'll go with you. But, I have a small request, can I say it?" Seeing Ouyang Xiaoxiao's slightly angry look, I could only smile and agree.

  "Is there another request? You won't say you get carsick, shall we prepare some motion sickness medicine for you when we go? Don't worry, we're taking a plane, yeah, first class is fine."

  "You're really rich," I pouted.

  "Isn't there a saying that goes like this? 'Money is a fool, spend it and we'll earn more', as long as people live happily, that's all that matters," said Ouyang Xiaoxiao with a smile.
