The moonlight covered Jiang Qiranâs face, as if it covering it with a of mist-like halo.
His slender fingers held Ye Linlangâs face, which was hidden in the moonlight. With a faint smile on his face, he was actually extremely handsome.
However, Ye Linlang suddenly felt a little apprehensive.
Apart from joy, she was actually a little afraid.
She had been raised in the countryside since she was young. Other than the Song familyâs Granny, there were only birds, beasts, insects, and fish around her. She had never been like other girls who had their mothers tell them how a girl should be reserved.
However, Ye Linlang was not ignorant.
She had matured at a young age. Although she did not have any actual combat experience or practice in these matters, she more or less knew a bit.
In the past, there was a girl in the small desolate village who had sex with a boy from the neighboring village. Later on, she had a child. However, she got pregnant before marriage, so she was insecure and was abandoned by the scumbag.
From the beginning to the end in the small desolate village, everyone was scolding the girl for not knowing self-respect. However, no one scolded the boy from the neighboring village for not being responsible.
Even the girlâs parents felt that she was too indecent.
After all, it was a small place. Every family knew one another, and rumors were terrible. The young girl, who was only seventeen years old, drowned herself in a river on a cold winter night.
Ye Linlang woke up early that day, and the river was on the path to school.
Ye Linlang carried her schoolbag and skipped along the country road. Suddenly, she saw a large group of people surrounding the river.
Many people had looks of disdain on their faces as they pointed at something.
Out of curiosity, Ye Linlang could not help but run up to take a look.
That glance became a bloody memory.
She would never forget that cold winter morning. A girl who was just two or three years older than her was soaked by the river until her body swelled up.
That girl was already dead. Her body was stiff, but her eyes were wide open, like a silent denunciation.
She had died with her eyes wide open.
The villagers of the small desolate village were all talking. Even the girlâs parents rushed over, crying and cursing.
Ye Linlang had only entered junior high that year. However, at that moment, she suddenly understood what it meant to be targeted by a rumor, and what the difference between a girl and a boy meant.
In this world, there was no such thing as fairness.
The beginning was chaotic, and the end was being forsaken. However, the ones who were injured were mostly girls.
â¦
Under the moonlight, an extremely young man and woman were hugging each other.
Jiang Qiranâs palm landed on Ye Linlangâs waist. His muscles were clearly defined, as if there was a layer of intense heat.
Ye Linlang shrank back. Her face was burning, and her heart could not help but tremble slightly.
She nestled in Jiang Qiranâs arms. Her eyelashes were lowered, and her expression was no longer as happy as before.
Jiang Qiran was a smart person, so of course, he was keenly aware of this.
The handsome youth hugged Ye Linlang and rested his head on Ye Linlangâs shoulder. Although his voice was hoarse, it was unbelievably gentle.
âLinlang, whatâs wrong? Arenât you happy?â
Ye Linlangâs heart pounded a few times when she heard that form of address.
She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Qiran in confusion.
âWhat did you just call me?â
Jiang Qiran couldnât help but laugh when he heard that. His porcelain-white fingers caressed Ye Linlangâs hair and cleaned up the leaves on her hair bit by bit.
âI called you Linlang. You donât like it?â
His voice was soft. In this beautiful moonlit night, it was like some kind of unspeakable bewitchment, but it was also extremely gorgeous.
The young manâs low and gentle voice brushed past her ears. Ye Linlangâs heart felt as if it was suffocated. She buried her head in Jiang Qiranâs embrace, and her voice was a little muffled.
âThis seems to be the first time youâve called me by my name. You didnât say my surname. Iâm⦠not used to it.â
It wasnât that she wasnât touched, but the surprise came too quickly and seemed even more unreal.
It was just like todayâs sudden kiss.
It was clearly the first time for both parties, but it was so passionate that it was like a storm.
This kind of experience was new to Ye Linlang, but at the same time, it also implied danger.
The relationship suddenly seemed to have a further development, and Ye Linlang couldnât help but feel uneasy, worried about gains and losses.
â¦
Jiang Qiranâs thoughts were meticulous, so he naturally noticed Ye Linlangâs faint disappointment.
He could not help but feel a little strange.
Shouldnât ordinary girls like their boyfriends to call them more intimately?
And it wasnât like how it was in the past, where even names and surnames seemed a little distant no matter how he looked at it.
However, Jiang Qiran was actually in a very happy mood. He held the girl in his arms who was more obedient than a kitten, and combed Ye Linlangâs hair from time to time.
Ye Linlangâs hair was in very good condition. When the two of them were so close, Jiang Qiran could even smell the faint young girl fragrance in Ye Linlangâs hair.
âLinlang, do you like it when I call you like this?â
Ye Linlang reached out and poked Jiang Qiranâs shoulder. She raised her face, and there was a hint of confusion on her youthful face.
âQiran, will we continue like this forever?â
Seeing Ye Linlangâs dejected look, Jiang Qiranâs expression froze slightly.
He reached out and held Ye Linlangâs hand bit by bit,
The two of them interlocked their fingers.
He spoke softly in an elegant voice.
âWhy are you suddenly asking this?â
Ye Linlang leaned into Jiang Qiranâs embrace, and there was a hint of nervousness in her voice.
âI⦠I donât know either. I just felt that it isnât real, and I was even suddenly a little afraid.â
âThe two of us seemed to have developed too quickly. We suddenly met, suddenly became boyfriend and girlfriend, and suddenly kissedâ¦â
Thatâs right, becoming Jiang Qiranâs girlfriend didnât feel real at all.
Jiang Qiran smiled lightly, and his expression was somewhat helpless and doting.
He reached out and scratched Ye Linlangâs forehead.
âWhy do you feel that itâs not real? I am clearly by your side.â
Ye Linlang mustered up her courage and suddenly buried her head in Jiang Qiranâs shoulder.
âThen⦠will we always be together? Will you marry me?â
Jiang Qiran was stunned when he heard that. When Ye Linlang saw him like this, her eyes almost turned red and she wanted to cry.
Just when Ye Linlang was about to be disappointed, Jiang Qiran suddenly reached out and hugged Ye Linlangâs waist. His expression became much more serious.
âOf course we will be together. Linlang, you and I will enter the same university together. At that time, we will get engaged. After we graduate, we will get married.â
Ye Linlang was so pleasantly surprised that she almost jumped up. She directly chose to forget how outstanding Jiang Qiran was and how difficult it would be to enter the same university as him.
She stood up and gave Jiang Qiran a peck on the side of his face. Her originally disappointed expression disappeared without a trace!
âQiran, youâre so kind!â
The moment she stood up, Jiang Qiran immediately noticed the torn dress beside Ye Linlangâs leg and the blood stains on it!
Jiang Qiranâs expression instantly turned cold!
âYour leg is injured? Why didnât you tell me!â
