On the second day, before dawn breaks, everyone gets up from their tents and waits quietly for sunrise. The sky is gray and hazy, with the moon on one side, leaving only a faint mark. At the beginning of dawn, the night color has not yet dissipated, symbolizing that the sun, which represents light, has not yet broken through its bonds to descend upon the world.

  This was the coldest moment of the day, even in July. XiXi, who wore long sleeves, still felt cold. She sat close to XianMiao on a rock, huddled together, having just woken up from her sleep, her mind not yet fully awake, staring blankly at the eastern sky, waiting for that magnificent light.

  A faint red glow appeared on the horizon, and that small red dot jumped out of the sea of clouds in the blink of an eye, becoming a brilliant light. This process was too rapid, and XiXi even doubted whether she had seen that moment. Her eyes stared unblinkingly at the fiery red dawn, her heart, because all her expectations were suddenly emptied, became light, so light it seemed to be able to fly.

  Then she stood up and shouted loudly towards the valley: "Hey----"?

  The people around her began to shout loudly in imitation of her.

  "We Are Still Young"

  I want to strive ——

  “kingthe?world——”?

  Different voices blended together, echoing in the valley, a group of fearless young boys, with hearts full of joy.

  After coming down from the mountain, Xia Xi's diary had an additional entry:

  The most important thing is not the sunrise but the process of waiting for it. As you watch the darkness fade away and the light slowly descend, you will be willing to believe.

  All darkness will pass, and one day our lives will be bright without a single cloud.

  After several days had passed and the heat rash on her body had mostly healed, Xia Xi Xi finally went with Zeng Yu to meet Song Kai's appointment.

  It was clearly agreed that it would be noon, but Zeng Yu couldn't help but call Xi Xi early in the morning and urged her straightforwardly: "Xi Xi, haven't you left yet?"

  Xia Xi looked at her phone, it was only 7:30 in the morning, still a few hours away from the agreed time. This girl was also too anxious to get married. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and complained: "Sister, this is too early, you should consider the timing when urging someone."

  Zeng Yu smiled awkwardly, "I'm especially especially happy."

  Her heart full of joy made Xi Xi, who was on the other end of the phone, feel uneasy and couldn't sleep at all. She silently prayed that she had misinterpreted it, hoping that Song Kai's crush was actually Zeng Yu.

  With a deliberate intention to set off Zeng Yu's elegance, she deliberately dressed herself up. Her shoulder-length hair was too smooth, so she applied some hair wax and messed it up into a bird's nest. The clothes she usually wore were too fitting, so she rummaged through her closet and found an oversized T-shirt that she had never worn before. Under her "meticulous" arrangement, a slovenly ugly duckling emerged.

  Zeng Yu didn't disappoint her, wearing a white chiffon dress, pure and elegant, like an elf descending to the world, with a butterfly at the back of her waist that made her look even sweeter and more lovely, forming a strong contrast with Xia Xixi's "sharp style".

  "Good heavens! Were you robbed by bandits on your way here?" The loud voice suddenly brought the little fairy back to her original form.

  "Quality, pay attention to quality." Xi Xi was quite helpless about Zeng Yu's recent catchphrase "he's my husband's brother". With this rough voice, wasn't he just using his appearance to deceive people and then revealing his true nature? She scratched her hair, making the bird's nest even more disheveled: "I'm a decadent fan, it's trending."

  Zeng Yu stared blankly and exclaimed: "This guy is really something!"

  The agreed meeting place was under the sculpture in the central square of C City. Two people arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the appointed time, Xi Xi is always punctual, let alone Zeng Yu who has been eager to wait.

  I thought I came early enough, but when I got there, Chen Yan was already waiting under the sculpture. Chen Yan had only said that Song Kai would come, and hadn't mentioned himself. When Xi Xi suddenly saw him, she almost blurted out "what are you doing here?", but then thought to herself, if I can come, why can't he? The words reached her lips but she swallowed them back.

  She subconsciously smoothed her hair, trying to make the messy strands more tidy, but unexpectedly, she drew Chen Yan's gaze to her hair. She saw his mouth curve up into a smile and his thin lips parted: "It hasn't even rained, how did someone get struck by lightning for no reason?"

  "That's because I sensed that I was about to see a Thunder God." Xi Xi gave her a sideways glance, feeling a bit regretful that Chen Yan had seen her in this ghostly state. If it weren't for the sake of making Song Kai shift his gaze and discover Zeng Yu's adorable side, would she have gone to such great lengths to make herself look like this? Which girl doesn't love beauty, but if it meant fulfilling Zeng Yu's little flower-like infatuation's beautiful dream, she could endure being a bit more ugly.

  Originally, I had planned out various strategies to ruin my image, picking my nose, eating garlic, until Song Kai thoroughly disliked me and had no good feelings towards me. But Chen Yan's unexpected appearance made Xi Xi retreat, how can one use the same behavioral pattern to simultaneously win someone's liking and another person's disgust? This is truly a global problem.

  When Zeng Yu saw that Song Kai hadn't arrived, she relaxed a lot and slapped Chen Yan's back with one hand. "Hey, buddy, you're really something." Although she was small in stature, her strength wasn't to be underestimated. This sudden slap made Chen Yan's eyebrows furrow unintentionally. She didn't realize at all that her actions were too unrestrained. She continued to exchange pleasantries with Chen Yan, saying: "Brother Yan is indeed meticulous about things. Originally, I was just a light bulb, and I didn't even want to let her go. Now it's good, later you can quietly take her away, what a beautiful dating plan!"

  Xi Xi couldn't help but sigh, this little girl, not even across the river yet, and already starting to dismantle the bridge, it's simply a classic example of being infatuated with romance. She was just about to tease her for a couple of sentences when she saw her busily adjusting her skirt, accompanied by a sweet but not greasy smile that had been practiced in front of the mirror thousands of times, no need to guess, definitely saw Song Kai coming.

  Song Kai strode towards the three people, backlit by the sunlight, with a golden rim around his body, and his whole person was radiant. He held a bunch of lilies in his hand, the pure white flowers lightly emitting fragrance, just like Zeng Yu's white dress, and his gaze also lingered on that spotless spirit.

  Originally quickening his pace to hurry over, he slowed down as he approached the three of them, his gaze lingering on Zeng Yu's body unwilling to leave, his eyes seeming to hold no one else, that small apple blooming into a lily flower in his heart.

  Song Kai's eyes flashed with surprise and regret, slowly withdrawing his gaze, he apologized to the people waiting for him, forcing himself not to sneak a peek at Zeng Yu, and instead turned his attention to Xia Xi Xi. This one glance made him jump in surprise, originally thinking this girl was elegant and refined, but now she looked sloppy, like a street urchin, far from the lovely little apple he had imagined.

  A-Yan is also too much, not only did he snatch Xiao Pingguo away, but he also pushed this weirdo onto himself.

  Despite this, good home education still made him hold back his discontent and walk up to that strange flower with the bouquet.

  Xia Xi was thinking about whether to respond with a nose-picking gesture or an exaggerated scream when she heard Song Kai's slightly low and husky voice: "Zeng Yu, this is for you. May you always be as pure and fragrant as a lily." You can search for the latest updates of this book on Baidu by typing "冤家校草不易解?哈十八".
