MSISAS |Chapter 8 The Moment of Revelation
by lostnexusBy the time they reached the mountaintop, it was nearly eight o’clock. Xu Qing put Lu Xianzhi down. He had only a light sheen of sweat on his face and was slightly out of breath.
“Xu Qing!”
“I’m here.”
“When will it be eight o’clock?”
“Soon.”
“Aren’t you just stating the obvious?”
“Two minutes.”
“Oh.”
Lu Xianzhi continued to chatter, and Xu Qing kept responding to each question.
It was eight o’clock, and a meteor streaked across the sky.
Lu Xianzhi excitedly patted Xu Qing’s arm.
“Xu Qing! Did you see that? A shooting star!”
Xu Qing turned his head and looked at Lu Xianzhi’s silly grin, unwittingly lifting the corners of his own mouth.
“Yeah.”
“Quick, make a wish! Quick, make a wish! I wish I could always be by Xu Qing’s side!”
Xu Qing: “You fool, if you say it out loud, it won’t come true.”
Lu Xianzhi’s big eyes looked at Xu Qing. Being stared at like this made Xu Qing a bit embarrassed. In the dark, it was hard to see that his ears had already turned red.
He made a silent decision.
“Xiaozhi, I have some sparklers, do you want to play?”
“Huh? Play!”
Xu Qing took out a box of sparklers and gave half of them to Lu Xianzhi.
She skillfully lit them with a lighter. The flame illuminated Xu Qing’s face, warm and beautiful.
Once the sparklers were lit, they crackled like little fireworks in their hands, as if they were watching a fireworks display up close.
“So beautiful!”
“I’ll light one for you.”
“Okay!”
They relied on this little bit of light in the darkness, and it seemed like time had stopped. It was so warm.
Lu Xianzhi secretly took a photo of Xu Qing, capturing a divine moment.
The descent was by cable car and went by quickly.
“Xu Qing, are you really not moved at all?”
Xu Qing looked at Lu Xianzhi and sighed slightly. She could even sense that she had feelings for her.
But she was afraid Lu Xianzhi couldn’t bear the reality, and it was time; she couldn’t hide it from her any longer.
“Lu Xianzhi.”
It was the first time he called her so solemnly, and Lu Xianzhi immediately felt nervous.
“What I’m about to say, don’t be shocked.”
“Mm… okay.”
Xu Qing’s complex emotions were hidden in her indifferent eyes.
She wanted to break this doomed relationship, yet hoped that she wouldn’t mind.
“I’m actually a girl, but I was mistaken for a boy.”
Lu Xianzhi hadn’t yet processed the words when the next second her eyes widened in disbelief.
“You’re… you’re a girl!”
“Yes, just like you.”
“Then why did you pretend to be a boy!”
“My mom wanted me to, and I didn’t originally intend to pretend.”
“Give me a moment.”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. She couldn’t accept it after all.
Back in the little house, Lu Xianzhi was still shocked, her mind in chaos.
She buried her head in the pillow.
“How could this be? She’s a girl.”
After a series of struggles, “Forget it, we’ll just be good friends! What a pity, so handsome!”
Taking advantage of the monitoring being off, Lu Xianzhi knocked on Xu Qing’s door.
Xu Qing had just come out of the shower, wearing a thin sweater and silk pajama bottoms.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me! Lu Xianzhi!”
Xu Qing opened the door to let Lu Xianzhi in.
“What’s up?”
“I’ve thought about it! Can we be friends?”
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, “Okay.”
Even though she might not want to be friends right now.
“Tomorrow is the confession, do you know the rules?”
“What rules?”
“If the confession fails or if no one confesses to you, you have to remain on the love reality show.”
“Until you’ve reached three rounds.”
“I see.”
“You definitely don’t want to stay on, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Then confess to me, I’ll agree, and we can leave together.”
Xu Qing looked at her, her eyes flickering with light and shadow. To confess?
“Alright.”
Lu Xianzhi hugged Xu Qing excitedly, startling Xu Qing so much she shrank back.
“Now that we’re friends, can’t I hug you?”
Lu Xianzhi looked at her, looking very sad.
Xu Qing sighed and pulled Lu Xianzhi into her arms. Lu Xianzhi’s heart was pounding.
She could hear Xu Qing’s steady and strong heartbeat, her embrace was warm.
After a while, Xu Qing let Lu Xianzhi go.
“Go back and sleep.”
Lu Xianzhi: “Okay.”
After sending Lu Xianzhi off, Xu Qing sat weakly on the bed.
Why did she feel a bit regretful?
What to do, so soft.
Such a small, nice hug.
She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.
In her dream:
Xu Qing dreamt again of that ferris wheel, about to reach the top.
The familiar warmth pressed against Xu Qing’s cheek, followed by those words again, “Xu Qing, I like you.”
Xu Qing knew this was a dream. Since it was a dream, she wanted to indulge herself, why not?
Xu Qing turned her head to look at Lu Xianzhi, her gaze revealing a wolf-like danger.
“Mm, I like you too.”
Dream Lu Xianzhi was very happy, her shining eyes exuded innocence that Xu Qing adored.
Xu Qing suddenly pulled her wrist, lowered her head, and kissed Lu Xianzhi.
So soft, what to do… I’m going crazy.
She kissed deeper, but Lu Xianzhi wouldn’t open her mouth.
Xu Qing lightly bit Lu Xianzhi’s lower lip, and Lu Xianzhi winced in pain. Taking advantage of this moment, Xu Qing slipped inside.
It was a while before she let go of Lu Xianzhi, who was left weak and breathless, leaning on Xu Qing.
If it weren’t for Xu Qing’s arm around her waist, she would have slid down.
Xu Qing’s eyes still held a trace of madness. She tightly held Lu Xianzhi’s slender waist, so delicate, it felt like she could snap it.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes.
Crazy Xu Qing.
She complicatedly got up; it was six-thirty, most people hadn’t woken up yet.
She composed herself, dressed casually today, with a denim shirt under a black sweater and black casual pants.
After calming herself for a while, she went downstairs.
As she descended, everyone was also coming out one after another, some of the guys dressed very formally.
Yes, with the confessions, how could they not dress formally?
The love reality show is about to end!
