The Fifteenth Cup of Coffee Part 2

After that, Yun Xian lowered his head and gave another soft kiss to Jiang Ying’s lips, as if he needed to finish the long kiss just now.

They sat up straight again and looked ahead. They understood without saying anything more. They continued to listen to the songs, enjoy the night scenery with the evening wind, and let the ambiguity grow into firm roots.

When they were getting off the bus, Yun Xian stood and turned to give Jiang Ying a hand. She went down the last step with his help. Yun Xian took her hand into his and didn’t let it go. They walked while holding hands under the street lamps. Around their feet was a tall and short shadow that was close to each other.

Yun Xian rubbed the back of Jiang Ying’s hand and asked, “Are you hungry?”

Jiang Ying shook her head. “I’m so full from this afternoon. Are you hungry?”

Yun Xian smiled and shook his head.

Jiang Ying was dazzled by his smile. In her flustered state, she looked away and stared at the pearls on top of her shoes. She asked, “What are we going to do now?”

According to the truth, she should arrange it, but now she was in no condition to think Jiang Ying was also embarrassed when she just got up from her seat and did not know how to walk.

Yun Xian was still thinking about the injury on her foot. “Are you tired? Do you want to go back to the hotel to rest?”

Jiang Ying replied anxiously, “I’m not tired. Let’s wait a little longer, it’s not time yet.”

 

“Time for what?”

Jiang Ying accidentally said something. She licked his lips and made up an excuse, “What I mean is, I can still walk for a while.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

There was a small park nearby. It had healthy and energetic middle-aged and elderly people dancing in the public space. Several kids were learning to skate in the open area. There were also couples walking around together.

A little boy skated across a row of obstacles. Jiang Ying cried out, “Wow, he is so powerful.”

Yun Xian saw a group of young kids skateboarding in front of them and asked Jiang Ying, “Can you still skateboard now?”

Jiang Ying followed his eyes and saw that the girl with pink pigtails had completed a big flip from the steps. This was a move that had a high degree of difficulty, and the success rate professional skaters had for this trick was not very high. After she finished it, she had a huge grin. Her young and beautiful face looked proud. Jiang Ying couldn’t express how inspirational she was. The other skaters at the bottom burst into cheers and applause. The girl made a gesture of acceptance and sat down again with her skateboard.

Jiang Ying looked at the girl and expressed her admiration, “No, I’m not even at a beginner level. Shen Xuan used to skate so well, but now she can’t anymore.”

Yun Xian said, “There is a big difference between you and the first impression you give people.”

Jiang Ying nodded in agreement. “You are not the first to tell me that.”

Yun Xian tugged her hand to keep walking forward. He asked without changing his expression, “Who else? Your ex?”

Jiang Ying concentrated on him. “You seem to care about Lu Tingyang.”

Yun Xian shrugged his shoulders and did not make a comment.

When they arrived at a place with fewer people, Yun Xian admitted, “Actually, I didn’t want to accompany you to Shanghai.”

Jiang Ying recalled his reaction that day and asked, “Why were you angry that day?”

Yun Xian let go of her hand, and they stood facing each other. “I was not angry.”

“Then what?”

“I didn’t want other people involved in my relationship with you. I don’t want to be a tool for you to let go of your ex.”

Jiang Ying was nervous. “Don’t misunderstand me. I don’t have any feelings left for him.”

Yun Xian’s smile rose. “I know.”

He took a step forward and put his hands around Jiang Ying’s waist to hug her.

Jiang Ying suddenly rose into the air. She was on the railing against the rolling river waters. Jiang Ying was unsteady. She hugged Yun Xian’s neck and demanded, “What are you doing?”

Yun Xian looked into her eyes with the light of the street lamp. “Do you know why I wanted to accompany you?”

Jiang Ying’s voice suddenly lost all strength. “Why?”

 

“First, I wanted to meet your ex. Second, it seemed like a good idea to turn our fake relationship into a real one.”

Jiang Ying held his neck tightly and asked, “What are you doing now?”

“You have two options. You agree, and I’ll let you down.”

Jiang Ying frowned and replied, “Are you going to throw me into the river if I don’t agree?”

Yun Xian chuckled in a low voice, and the small mole under his eye was pulling on her heartstrings. “If you agree, I’ll let you down, or you can kiss me and then you can come down.”

Jiang Ying’s mind was restless. She only felt that her entire body was hot and she had gone soft. She bit her lower lip and buried her face into Yun Xian’s shoulder. She whispered in a coquettish voice, “Let me down first, okay?”

Yun Xian’s breathing became uneven. His heart softened into a pool of water, but he did his best to hang on and asked her, “Do you agree?”

Jiang Ying buried herself deeper into his neck again. Her soft hair brushed his skin. It was like a feather sweeping past his heart. “Put me down. Go back to the hotel first, and I’ll come find you.”

Yun Xian took a deep breath. He put his arms around her waist and put her down.

Jiang Ying landed on her feet. She took out her cell phone and took a look at the time. She said to Yun Xian very quickly, “Go back to the hotel and wait for me. I’ll come back right away.” After that, she was about to run out. Yun Xian called out to her, “Jiang Ying—”

Hearing this, Jiang Ying stopped and returned to him. She stood on tippy toes and kissed him on the cheek. “Wait for me, I’ll come back right away!”

Her eyes were sparkling like the stars in the sky.

 

Yun Xian looked at her quick departing figure and laughed softly. He wanted to see what this brave little warrior was going to do.
