Chapter 163 The Warm Sun in the Afternoon
As we disembarked from the ferry, the scene was filled with the noisy chatter of teenagers.
Everyone was holding the island souvenirs they had just bought on the boat.
They have small trinkets, postcards, and the like.
They huddled together, chattering and laughing, their excitement still lingering in the air.
The three-day study tour has come to an end. Everyone wanted to keep something as a memento, so most of us bought some souvenirs.
Song Huan also bought one.
He deliberately clung to Xiao Yunqing's side, holding a dusty clay turtle sculpture in his hand, his eyebrows and eyes crinkling.
He moved closer to Xiao Yunqing, his voice lazy and deliberately hitting her sore spot: "Look, this is the one I picked for you, so fierce, just like the way she was chasing me and yelling at me just now."
Just now on the ferry, he deliberately hid and watched Xiao Yunqing frantically searching for him, while he secretly laughed to himself, which had already made her very angry.
Xiao Yunqing was worried that he might get seasick after boarding the ship, but after searching the deck and cabins, she couldn't find him. She thought he had fallen into the sea, but it turned out that this guy was playing hide-and-seek with her!
Xiao Yunqing was furious!
She was already holding her breath, and upon hearing this, her eyes widened instantly, her cheeks puffed out slightly, and she reached out to push his hand away.
"Song Huan, how childish are you!"
She bit her lip, her tone full of annoyance, "I told you not to run around, but you just kept teasing me. It's so annoying, I don't want to talk to you."
After saying that, she hugged her bag, turned around and walked towards the bus door. Her steps were fast and hurried, and even the ponytail swaying behind her head seemed to say "Don't mess with me".
Song Huan watched her huffing and puffing back, but didn't chase after her. She just chuckled softly and slowly followed her into the car.
After taking the seasickness medication, he was indeed less seasick, but he still felt a bit unwell and would need to sleep some more on the bus later.
Xiao Yunqing walked straight to the window seat in the back row, plopped down, and immediately turned her face to look out the window, deliberately distancing herself from him, clearly intending to give him the cold shoulder.
"Excuse me, is this seat taken?"
Song Huan asked in a very serious tone.
"have."
Xiao Yunqing didn't look at him; her voice was icy.
"Is he a handsome guy or a super handsome guy?" Song Huan touched his nose.
"Song Huan, are you sick in the head?!" Xiao Yunqing gritted her teeth in anger.
"With such a strong reaction, he must be incredibly handsome." Song Huan nodded. "Then I'll gladly accept his offer."
"You're crazy!" Xiao Yunqing angrily turned her head away, clearly intending to ignore him.
[I'm so angry, so angry! That bastard!]
[I want to not speak to him for an hour, no, two hours!]
Song Huan stopped making a fuss, put away her smile, and sat quietly in the empty seat next to her, no longer coming over to chatter as usual.
Xiao Yunqing was still sulking, secretly thinking that she would definitely leave him hanging the whole way this time, so that he would know the consequences of making jokes recklessly.
The bus slowly started, drove away from the ferry terminal, and gradually entered the country road lined with trees on both sides.
At first, Xiao Yunqing remained tense and ignored the noise around her, but gradually, there was no sound at all.
Why hasn't he come to comfort me yet?
She was wondering why this person wasn't bothering her today. Just as she was about to steal a glance, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.
A soft, slightly warm weight gently pressed down on her school uniform shoulder.
Xiao Yunqing froze instantly, even her breathing paused for a moment, before she dared to turn her head away cautiously, little by little.
The carriage was already bustling with activity.
The fatigue from the study tour did not dampen the teenagers' enthusiasm in the slightest.
Some people were laughing out loud while flipping through group photos on their cameras, while others were gesturing to the lighthouse and beach at famous scenic spots.
Some people were sharing snacks, and the noisy sounds, filled with youthful energy, filled the entire carriage.
The back row corner, however, was unusually quiet.
Song Huan leaned on her shoulder and slept soundly.
His brows were slightly furrowed, and his cheeks were flushed with an uncomfortable light red, as if he were suffering from both seasickness and motion sickness.
Her long eyelashes drooped down, covering her eyes, which were usually always smiling.
His breathing was light and even, completely devoid of the mischievousness he had shown when teasing her, leaving only the sweet and gentle sound of a sleeping boy.
[he……]
The anger that Xiao Yunqing had been holding in vanished instantly.
Instead, there was a great deal of panic and an unconcealable heartache.
[What an idiot, he's already asleep...]
[Is he suffering from seasickness and motion sickness?]
[Then why are you still making me angry!]
She pouted, looking at the sleeping Song Huan with dissatisfaction.
But she was also frozen in place, her back straight, not daring to even breathe, for fear that the slightest movement would wake him.
Half of her shoulder was slightly numb from the pressure, and a soreness was creeping up her body, but she dared not move an inch.
Sitting in the front row, Zhao Qihang, clutching a bag of spicy strips he had snatched from Chen Xu, excitedly turned his head, wanting to call Song Huan to eat with him.
"Song Huan..."
He was about to speak when Xiao Yunqing stopped him with a look.
The girl's brows furrowed slightly, and she gently placed her fingertips to her lips, making a very subtle gesture to be quiet.
"Don't talk, he's asleep."
She spoke softly, her eyes serious, with a protective look, as if afraid of making the slightest sound that might disturb the person on her shoulder.
Zhao Qihang was taken aback at first, but then followed her gaze to the sleeping Song Huan and immediately realized what was going on.
He quickly covered his mouth, nodded, turned around and sat down properly, and patted the noisy classmates next to him, signaling everyone to be quiet.
After the surrounding noise subsided slightly, Xiao Yunqing slowly relaxed her tightly pursed lips and her tense body gradually relaxed as well.
She turned her head slightly, her gaze gently falling on Song Huan's face.
Seeing his slightly pursed lips due to discomfort, and his peaceful sleeping face, my lips unconsciously curved upwards, revealing a faint, irrepressible smile.
Her eyes and brows were so gentle, like the warm afternoon sun melting away.
[They're quite cute.]
The bus slowly drove out of the dense forest, and a large amount of sunlight slanted in through the windows without warning.
A blinding spot of light fell directly on Song Huan's face.
He frowned uncomfortably, gently nuzzling his little head against Xiao Yunqing's shoulder, trying to avoid the beam of light, looking all soft and cuddly.
Xiao Yunqing's heart tightened, and she almost immediately raised her arm.
She stretched out her palm and steadily placed it next to Song Huan's cheek, blocking out all the glaring sunlight.
Her movements were as light as a breeze brushing against flower petals, her fingertips slightly curled, as if afraid of accidentally touching his face.
She kept her arm raised, motionless, her gaze lingering tenderly on his sleeping face, unable to look away.
The noise inside the carriage remained, becoming a blurred background sound.
A breeze slipped in through the car window cracks, gently ruffling the hair at their temples and carrying the faint scent of grass from Song Huan's hair to Xiao Yunqing's nose.
All the sulking, cold war, and annoyance from before vanished.
The long-hidden feelings between childhood sweethearts finally found their spark in this tiny bus seat.
It spread quietly in the warm sunlight.
