Su Mo was stunned for a few seconds before letting go of her. That was the first time he realized that a girl's hand could be so soft.
-
A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but Su Mo's expression didn't change much. He just asked the question casually.
Do you still play the piano?
Jiang Jianhuan plays the piano exceptionally well. She started learning at a young age and obtained her Level 10 certificate at the age of ten. She is often called upon to participate in various cultural and artistic events to contribute to the honor of her class.
Su Mo only found out about it at that freshman party.
The girl on stage, dressed in a formal gown, sat at the piano and played. Bathed in a bright spotlight, she seemed to radiate a subtle glow, like a born princess.
When Jiang Jianhuan heard Su Mo ask the question, he answered after a while, his voice very soft.
"No, I was too busy during the years I was abroad, and I rarely had time to play." Besides, she couldn't afford to buy one.
His ten fingers danced across the black and white piano keys, and he played with ease under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
It feels like something from a past life.
After listening, Su Mo didn't say anything more, and the two walked forward in silence.
The scenery in front of me changed slightly; the trees became sparser, and the concrete road appeared faintly in front of me.
Jiang Jianhuan was pleasantly surprised.
"Huh, how did we end up back here again?"
“This is the other side,” Su Mo said, looking around.
"My car is missing."
“No wonder…” Jiang Jianhuan muttered.
"I don't know how long it will take to walk back along the road."
"It shouldn't take too long." Su Mo wasn't sure either.
"How about... we go back the way we came?"
"Ah..." Jiang Jianhuan looked around for a few seconds in the woods, unsure of what lay ahead or behind her, and ultimately chose the latter.
At least you can enjoy the scenery along the way.
"Let's go then." After hearing Jiang Jianhuan's decision, Su Mo turned around and walked back the way they came. Jiang Jianhuan lowered his head and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"We're really bored, wasting so much time..."
"Where?" Su Mo was trying to figure out the way she came from when she heard this and answered without thinking.
"Being with you is never a waste of time." Even if we do nothing, just being together quietly is enough to make me feel that life is precious.
Upon hearing his words, Jiang Jianhuan's face flushed slightly. Embarrassed and angry at her own behavior, she quickened her pace and walked forward.
The stream that stretched across the river soon came into view. Su Mo watched her hurried steps and, with some worry, quickened her pace to catch up.
"Slow down, don't fall into the water—"
"thump--"
As the voice rang out, an extremely crisp and pleasant sound followed.
Jiang Jianhuan turned around in surprise and saw Su Mo with one foot in the water and the other foot barely hanging on a rock.
"......"
Chapter 21
Su Mo's shoes were completely soaked.
After pulling my feet up, I stepped onto the shore, where a large patch of water had gotten around me, and my trouser legs were still dripping wet.
In winter, the temperature is extremely low; when you get wet and the wind blows, a bone-chilling cold rushes in.
Su Mo's lips turned a little pale. On the way back, the two of them were no longer as leisurely as before, and their pace quickened noticeably.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Jianhuan asked. Su Mo's expression remained largely unchanged, except that her face was somewhat pale.
"fine."
Are you cold?
"...I lost consciousness."
"......"
The return journey took half the time it took to get there, and soon Su Mo's black car was parked on the side of the road.
Jiang Jianhuan seemed to remember something and looked at Su Mo.
Do you have spare shoes in your car?
He pondered for two seconds before answering.
"No."
"......"
Jiang Jianhuan pondered a solution in his mind, countless ideas flashing through his mind, and finally chose the one with the least trouble.
"How about this?"
"I'll find a pair of my dad's shoes at home, you can make do with those when you go home."
"Is the size right?" Su Mo stared at her, his expression unreadable.
