Chapter 1254 Yun Rui's sincerity: If you want to cry, you don't have to laugh
The street lights stretched the shadows of the two people very long, swaying on the bluestone road.
Lin Xu looked at Gu Yunxi's forced smile, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and the words "If you want to cry, you don't have to laugh" finally turned into silence.
The evening breeze blew up her hair, bringing with it a faint smell of beer and fireworks. He suddenly reached out to stop a taxi, and said in a firm voice that could not be refused: "Let's go to Happy Land."
Gu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him: "It's so late, are we going to the amusement park?"
"When you're in a bad mood, you should do something crazy." Lin Xu turned his head to look at the neon lights flying by outside the car window, and his ears turned slightly red. In fact, he had already checked the night schedule of the amusement park on his phone and knew that there would be a light show and fireworks display today.
When we arrived at the amusement park, the night sky had already gone completely dark. The lights of the Ferris wheel were flickering in the distance, and the music of the carousel could be heard faintly.
Lin Xu took out the ticket he had bought in advance from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yunxi like a magic trick: "Would you please, my teacher, do me the honor of having a good time?"
Gu Yunxi looked at the ticket with cartoon pattern printed on it in his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.
This was a feeling of relaxation she hadn't felt in a long time. The boy in front of her was wearing a simple sweatshirt and jeans, but his eyes behind his glasses were particularly serious.
She suddenly discovered that this student, who was always concentrating on debugging instruments in the laboratory, was now like a vibrant little sun, trying to illuminate the haze in her heart.
"How about we go ride the roller coaster first?" Lin Xu pointed at the track whizzing by in the distance. "I heard that if you shout out your worries, they will disappear."
When the roller coaster dived down at a nearly vertical angle, Gu Yunxi subconsciously grabbed Lin Xu's arm.
The wind whistled in her ears, and she heard herself and Lin Xu screaming loudly. All the depression and sadness seemed to be thrown into the night sky with the screams.
When she got off the car, her legs were still a little weak, but she smiled brightly: "I didn't expect it to be quite stress-relieving."
Lin Xu looked at her flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. He took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her, then took out two more like magic: "Add some sugar, there will be a surprise next."
The warm light of the carousel shone on the two of them. Gu Yunxi sat on the horse, the hem of his white coat fluttering in the wind, his hands raised, looking as happy as a child.
Lin Xu stood outside the fence, holding up her phone to record the scene. In the camera, she was no longer the strict professor, but a spoiled girl.
"Come along!" Gu Yunxi waved at him.
Lin Xu hesitated for a moment, but still got on the wooden horse next to him. As the wooden horse slowly turned, he looked at Gu Yunxi's profile and suddenly wished that time would stop.
At this moment, there is no academic pressure, no power struggle, only two close hearts.
"Actually, I used to think that amusement parks were a waste of time." Gu Yunxi suddenly said, "But now I think it's good to be a child once in a while."
Lin Xu smiled and said, "If you are still unhappy in the future, I will bring you here again." As soon as he said this, he felt a little regretful, worried that he had crossed the line.
However, Gu Yunxi just said "hmm" softly, with a gentle look in her eyes. The light show in the distance began, and colorful beams of light intertwined in the night sky, reflecting her face like a dream.
Lin Xu stood beside her, feeling the warmth coming from her body. For the first time, he felt that science and engineering men could also create romance.
When the fireworks bloomed in the night sky, Gu Yunxi looked up, and the smile on his face was brighter than the fireworks.
Lin Xu secretly turned his head to look at her. The light of the fireworks was reflected in her eyes, which was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes away. At this moment, he secretly made up his mind that in the future, he would be the one who protected her smile...
In the taxi on the way back, both of them were digesting and analyzing the emotions just now, until the sudden ringing of a cell phone stopped the flow of air.
Gu Yunxi looked at the caller ID of "Prince" on the screen, and his fingertips hovered over the answer button for half a second.
Lin Xu stole a glance at her profile in the rearview mirror. The light from the street lamp cast a trembling shadow under her eyelashes. "Hello?" Her voice was three degrees colder than when she was at the amusement park, and her deliberately straightened back was against the back of the seat.
"Where?" Gu Yunqian's voice came through the receiver, with a metallic coldness.
Lin Xu's hands gripping the steering wheel tightened unconsciously, and the light music on the car radio suddenly became harsh.
Gu Yunxi felt the boy's burning gaze and tilted her head to look at the speeding neon lights outside the window. "On the way." After a brief answer, she quickly hung up the phone. The moment the screen went black, her slightly furrowed brows were reflected.
The air seemed to solidify into gel.
Lin Xu opened his mouth, wanting to break the silence, but saw that Gu Yunxi had already pressed his forehead against the cold car window, the wrinkles of his white coat rising and falling gently with his breathing.
He swallowed the question that was about to come to his lips and silently turned on the car's aromatherapy. The citrus scent mixed with the sweet scent of the amusement park that remained on the two of them, fermenting an ambiguous sourness in the small space.
When the car drove into the tree-lined avenue where the Gu family's old house was located, two dazzling headlights suddenly lit up in the distance.
Gu Yunxi's pupils suddenly contracted - the license plate number of the Bentley was very familiar. His brother, dressed in a dark green suit, was leaning against the car door, the red light of his cigar flickering in the night, like a vigilant wild beast.
"Today... thank you." Gu Yunxi pulled down the buttons of his white coat, revealing the simple black sweater underneath, and his movements were as hasty as breaking out of a cocoon.
When she turned around, the ends of her hair brushed Lin Xu's wrist, and an itchy feeling crawled up her skin to her heart.
The moment the car door opened, cold wind carrying the scent of cedar perfume filled the car, which was Gu Yunqian's unique scent.
Lin Xu watched Gu Yunxi walk towards the Bentley in her high heels, the hem of her white coat rustling in the wind.
Gu Yunqian straightened up, and his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses swept across his sister's reddened ears like a scanner, and then fell on the taxi.
The corner of his mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc, and the posture of his arms folded across his chest was like an invisible barrier, separating the two of them.
"Gu..." Lin Xu somehow leaned half of his body out and then retracted it, trying to get out of the car and greet the customer, but the driver coughed rapidly at an inappropriate time and locked the car door.
In the rearview mirror, the driver's eyes were full of warning: "Young man, new address?" I just came out to earn some extra money, and it would be totally not worth it if I was inexplicably involved in a drama between two men fighting for one woman!
What's more, he can't afford to offend the people across the street in such a high-end villa area. The young guy next to him is fearless and can fight against others, but he doesn't have such capital!
Lin Xu's hand holding the phone was shaking slightly. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Gu Yunqian taking out a phone from the inner pocket of his suit. The blue light from the screen illuminated his thoughtful face - had he been listed as a key target?
When the sound of the Bentley engine sounded behind him, Lin Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When the driver turned around to check the road conditions, he found that Gu Yunqian's window was lowered, and his hawk-like eyes were staring at him from dozens of meters away.
A chill ran up his spine and onto the back of his neck. He hurriedly stepped on the accelerator, and the tires made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the ground...
