Chapter 248: A Different Kind of Fireworks
Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Nine: A Different Kind of Fireworks
Peng Lele chuckled softly to herself. Xia Yang’s words carried a hint of bitterness. Her mood tonight wasn’t much better. She was supposed to have the first dance with Xia Yang tonight, but that rude and arrogant singer stole her chance. That was fine, but when she wanted to have the second dance with Xia Yang, he had already disappeared!
After searching for a long time, she finally found him in this dim corner, drinking alone and lost in thought!
She felt even worse. He must be unhappy because of another woman!
Lost in her own wild guesses, they continued to clink glasses, sighing softly and draining their drinks one after another.
Xia Yang looked at the fireworks in the sky and said bitterly, “Such beautiful fireworks are so fleeting, what a shame!”
Peng Lele watched the brilliant fireworks bloom in the sky, also smiling bitterly in her heart. “These fleeting fireworks only bloom for those who understand. I envy Qing Tian so much, having Xiao Yu love her so consistently, both five years ago and now! I really don’t know when it will be my turn!”
Peng Lele swore that she didn’t intentionally say such suggestive words, but hearing Xia Yang’s reply, her heart still felt tangled.
Xia Yang took a sip of wine and said lightly, “Yes, love that is as unwavering as ever!” After a slight pause, he continued, “Miss Peng is so kind and lovely, people who like you are lining up. Don’t worry too much!”
Peng Lele gave a wry smile. “Perhaps. However, I am quite interested in the handsome gentleman in front of me. I wonder if you are also in my queue?”
After asking, Peng Lele regretted it. The question seemed too direct and frivolous. What would Xia Yang think of her?
She really wanted to find a hole to crawl into and bury herself alive!
Xia Yang’s hand, holding the wine glass, paused because of Peng Lele’s words. He turned his head and looked at Peng Lele with doubt, retorting, “Does Miss Peng think I would be in the queue?”
Peng Lele’s hand, holding the wine glass, began to tremble slightly. She was too nervous to speak. Xia Yang had thrown the question back at her. In her life, this was the first time a cold man had asked her such an awkward question, and the first time she had gone to such lengths for a man!
After thinking for a few seconds, Peng Lele put down her wine glass, her movements very careful. Xia Yang watched the entire process.
She moved closer to Xia Yang, gazing at him affectionately. She slowly took the wine glass from his hand, then reached out and gently, carefully caressed his face!
First, his eyebrows. Perhaps because he was at a banquet, his hair was all slicked back, making him look very capable, like a god.
Her fingers moved slowly downwards, to his nose. The touch made Xia Yang’s heart tremble slightly. He eagerly raised his hand to stop her, but the next second, Peng Lele cupped his chin, and her thin red lips pressed against his!
She simply kissed his lips, making no further moves. Peng Lele hadn’t been in a relationship for many years, nor had she ever loved anyone. Xia Yang was the first man she had pursued, abandoning her feminine pride!
He was also the first man she wanted to possess, abandoning a woman’s usual reserve!
This man seemed to be telling her, “I belong only to you!”
Could she truly have him?
Xia Yang was stunned at first, then pushed Peng Lele away. His expression flickered, making him unreadable. They looked at each other, and it was unclear who looked away first.
They both said at the same time, “I’m sorry~~~~”
They were both taken aback again. How could people who were so in sync even when apologizing be so tangled?
Xia Yang spoke first, “Miss Peng, I think there might be a misunderstanding. I’m actually not very interested in dating, and I don’t want to let you down or even hurt you. I’m sorry~~~~”
Peng Lele had anticipated this outcome, but since she liked him, what did it matter what she did?
A faint smile spread across her lips. “It’s nothing. I was too hasty. I’m sorry~~~”
Xia Yang seemed a bit at a loss. “No, you’re wonderful. It’s my problem!”
Peng Lele nodded. She knew he had someone in his heart. She didn’t expect Xia Yang to accept her immediately, but at the very least, she wanted to give herself a chance to get closer to him!
Peng Lele gathered her courage and said, “Xia Yang, can you consider me as a backup? When the person in your heart isn’t an option, can you consider me first?”
Xia Yang looked at Peng Lele with guilt and said earnestly, “I can’t be so irresponsible. I absolutely cannot consider a wonderful woman like you as a backup. Doing so would make me less than a man. How can I be fickle and look around? Miss Peng, we can be friends!”
He extended his hand, signaling for Peng Lele to shake it. Peng Lele extended her hand and clasped Xia Yang’s. Their hands joined, as if swearing something.
The future, no one can predict!
