"Why are you sitting alone?"
Amid the gentle sound of the flowing fountain, another familiar voice was heard.
Lu Yunshu sat on the edge and looked up, seeing Jin Hanshuang slowly sitting down beside her, unexpectedly.
The entwining sound of the fountain's water shielded their figures, as if isolating them from the hustle and bustle inside, leaving a very quiet world.
Lu Yunshu curiously asked, "Why are you here?"
"I saw you come out here alone from above, so I came."
Jin Hanshuang crossed her legs, bent down, propped her cheek with her hand, and turned to look at her.
"Seeing you up close like this... you do seem a bit unhappy."
Lu Yunshu smiled faintly, "It's okay."
It was okay.
She had been wondering what to do, but unexpectedly, Jin Hanshuang came on her own.
She had been feeling down, but seeing her made her feel much better.
Her heart was indeed easy to cheer up and satisfy.
Suddenly, another hand fell on the back of her hand, gently patting it twice.
That hand was slender and beautiful, slightly cool, and extremely gentle.
"It's okay," Jin Hanshuang's eyes were gentle, and her voice was gentle too, "If this date doesn't work out, there will be a next time."
Lu Yunshu was slightly stunned and asked with a smile, "Did you come specifically to comfort me?"
Jin Hanshuang nodded, "Mm-hmm~"
She stood on the terrace watching Lu Yunshu and her friends walk into the house, then watched Lu Yunshu take a champagne and walk alone to the quiet front yard.
She saw her sitting by the fountain, very quiet and silent, as if... unhappy.
She remembered Lu Yunshu being stood up at the last minute, remembered Lu Yunshu saying she had liked that person for many years...
Tsk, she felt a bit sorry.
So she came down, so she came to her side, as a friend.
Jin Hanshuang's hand was gently held.
Lu Yunshu's face was extremely gentle in front of her.
"Thank you, Hanshuang."
Lu Yunshu held Jin Hanshuang's hand tightly, the six-pointed star bracelet on her wrist shimmering, just like the light in her eyes, bright and moving.
"Knowing you is really nice."
Jin Hanshuang looked at her but felt inexplicably pitiful.
"Does your friend inside know why you're unhappy?"
Lu Yunshu curled her lips but didn't answer.
Jin Hanshuang automatically filled in the answer in her mind, feeling even more that she was a little pitiful, couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, her expression extremely loving, "So pitiful, our little Lu puppy..."
Lu Yunshu's friend didn't know she was gay.
So Lu Yunshu's friend certainly didn't know why she was so unhappy.
So pitiful, unable to tell her friends her feelings...
"But your friend is also very good to you, knowing you're unhappy and trying to make you happy."
For example, by bringing her to this party.
After hearing her words, Lu Yunshu's eyes smiled even more, "Yes, she's very good."
Seeing her mood lighten, Jin Hanshuang wanted to tease her, "What about me, am I not good?"
Lu Yunshu smiled and said, "Half good, half bad."
"Hmm?"
"Coming specifically to comfort me is good, but leaving me here sad while you go have fun is bad."
"?"
"Jin Hanshuang, heartless."
"What are you talking about, kid."
Jin Hanshuang laughed and pinched her face, "I left a house full of beauties to find you, you should be thanking me, not calling me heartless."
"Are there any beauties in this room that you like?"
A sudden question made Jin Hanshuang's hand pause.
She withdrew her hand, her expression calm, "I don't know, maybe there will be later?"
"......"
Lu Yunshu responded with silence.
After a while, she heard Lu Yunshu's voice say, "Jin Hanshuang, you're heartless."
"How am I heartless again?"
"I'm feeling sad, and you're flirting with others."
"I'm not."
"Maybe later."
"Oh, you're mimicking me now?"
"What should I do?"
Lu Yunshu suddenly said this.
She was mimicking her again.
Jin Hanshuang blinked and saw a deliberate smile on Lu Yunshu's face.
Deliberately mimicking her, deliberately teasing her.
She straightened up and replied, "Yes, what should I do?"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.
Someone seemed to be in a better mood.
Qin Xiaoliu sent a message to Jin Hanshuang.
Jin Hanshuang glanced at her phone, stood up with her wine glass, "I need to go find another girl, that's it."
She had just taken a step when her hand was suddenly grabbed by Lu Yunshu.
Lu Yunshu looked up at her.
"Are you really going to flirt?"
"Yes, because I'm heartless."
"......"
"Don't go."
Lu Yunshu suddenly said.
She tightened her grip, as if afraid she would disappear like a wisp of wind through her fingers.
"Why can't I go? Didn't you say I'm heartless?"
Jin Hanshuang continued to tease her.
"You have a heart."
Lu Yunshu pursed her lips, her fingers unconsciously rubbing Jin Hanshuang's fingers.
Hesitant and yet so eager.
After a moment, she admitted defeat and said, "It's me who's heartless, I don't want you to go..."
Jin Hanshuang came to comfort her, Jin Hanshuang was so good to her, but she didn't want her to date others.
She was very selfish.
Jin Hanshuang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
What a kid, even saying she's heartless so seriously.
"Why don't you want me to go? Want me to stay and talk with you?"
"Yes, I want you to stay with me."
"Do you like being with me?"
"Yes."
Lu Yunshu held her hand tighter, a bit domineeringly said, "So don't go find them, stay with me."
Jin Hanshuang couldn't help but chuckle.
She used the hand that was being held to poke Lu Yunshu's face with a finger, "I came specifically to comfort you, and you won't let me chat with the beauties, little heartless."
Lu Yunshu looked up at her, her eyes bright, silent.
Looking inexplicably pitiful.
Seeing her like this, Jin Hanshuang stopped teasing her and explained, "My friend is looking for me, I need to see what she wants. Don't sit alone, have fun since you're here, so your friend won't worry about you."
After saying that, she gently touched the spot she had poked, "I'm leaving."
Then a candy was placed in her palm again.
The same kind, orange-flavored hard candy.
Looking at the candy in her palm, then at the person slowly standing up, Jin Hanshuang smiled, "What, another candy? Are you a magician?"
Lu Yunshu took out a candy from her pocket in front of her, "My pants are."
She brought two candies when she went out tonight.
Jin Hanshuang looked at their candies, then at Lu Yunshu's expression, and suddenly burst into laughter, very happily.
Lu Yunshu also curved her lips, her eyebrows bright.
The person she liked touched her face.
They held hands.
Jin Hanshuang went back inside.
She returned to Du Mengying with the magician's candy.
She put down her drink, the candy in her mouth.
Du Mengying introduced her to a younger sister.
The younger sister was cheerful and beautiful, very good at chatting.
Jin Hanshuang smiled quietly, listening, but not really hearing.
Her mouth and mind were filled with the taste of the orange candy.
So sweet.
Just like someone.
