It rained in the afternoon and stopped in the evening. Fortunately, it didn't affect the activities in the evening.
In the evening, Xiao Shi prepared a bonfire party. He found an open space, built a fire with firewood in the middle, and everyone gathered around to eat, drink and have fun. That was the bonfire party.
The first person Xin Gan met when she arrived at Beiyu was Xiao Shi, followed by the innkeeper's wife, and the third was Cheng Jiu.
She counted her hands and found that she had been here for almost a week and had only seen Shangcheng Jiu twice. The two families hoped that they could cultivate their relationship before getting married. With such efficiency, how could they possibly have an emotional foundation before marriage?
Moreover, she doesn't really want to like someone like him.
She came to him mainly to talk to him about dissolving the marriage.
But the timing was not right and there was no chance to speak.
The innkeeper provided a whole roasted lamb and dairy products as drinks. All the dairy products were neither pungent nor sweet. Her throat wasn't fully recovered yet, so she didn't dare to eat anything that could cause internal heat. She just ate fruits. The temperature difference between day and night on Beiyu Island was large, and the fruits cultivated there were so sweet that they were beyond words. She loved them very much and spent the whole night eating fruits.
It was cool at night. Xin Gan was dressed thickly, revealing only her fair face. She sat by the fire with Xiao Shi and the others, chatting.
The person who said he would come in the evening was very late.
The engine of the car blared, the headlights came on from afar, and it slowly passed by. Only when I got closer did I clearly see that it was Cheng Jiu's car.
Cheng Jiu was wearing the same outfit as during the day. He strode over and recognized Xin Gan in the crowd. As he walked over, he said, "Am I late?"
Jiang Tang also came, along with two men, one named Jiang Yang and the other Zhao Que.
They all came together.
Xiao Shi chuckled and said, "No, no. Brother Jiu came just in time. Miss Xin was about to sing!"
Xin Gan lost a game. After losing, she wanted to sing a song. Her voice wasn't recovered yet. She was about to decline, but everyone was so enthusiastic that she couldn't refuse either. Just as she was about to speak, she heard the sound of a car.
Cheng Jiu sat down right on the spot. He was used to being rough and unrefined, so he sat beside her. Jiang Tang sat down with Cheng Jiu on the other side. As soon as they sat down, they chatted with the innkeeper's wife, but their eyes were always fixed on Xin Gan's side.
Cheng Jiu took a sip of the barley milk tea handed over by Xiao Shi and said, "Why didn't I sing when I came?"
Xin Gan was not reserved either. Since she lost, she accepted it. Clearing her throat, she humbly said, "Then I'll sing one song. Just sing casually. Please laugh at me."
Miss Xin, don't be shy. Even if you don't sing well, I'll still praise you for singing well!
Xin Gan was amused, her eyebrows and eyes curved, all brimming with tenderness.
The fire shone on her face, like flames burning and leaping with passion. She took out her phone and found an accompaniment. "Without accompaniment, I won't be able to find the key. I'll just sing a song randomly."
When men gather together, they smoke. Jiang Yang took a cigarette and gave it to Cheng Jiu. Cheng Jiu took it, lit a lighter and smoked. At this moment, his phone was also ringing. He was replying to his phone while smoking.
Seeing that he hadn't noticed her, Xin Gan heaved a sigh of relief and wasn't so nervous. She began to speak slowly along with the accompaniment.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Cheng Jiu thought he had misheard and subconsciously looked over.
Her voice was a little hoarse, but it didn't prevent her from performing; instead, it added a touch of intoxicating atmosphere.
Still talking about permanence, I never thought it would be an excuse.
I never thought of breaking up, but my heart is in every moment.
-
Xin Gan sang for a while and then stopped. Because Cheng Jiu was smoking, she was choked by the smell of the smoke and kept coughing.
Cheng Jiu came to his senses, quickly put out his cigarette and said in a deep voice, "Sorry, I forgot you were still ill."
Xin Gan said, "It's okay, it's okay. It'll be fine in a moment."
"So polite?" His smile was faint, with a touch of ruffian air, and his brows were slightly raised.
