"Come with me."
"Can I?"
In the small living room, a soothing and elegant eighties European and American music melody came from the TV speakers. The sweet and pleasant voice of a young girl accompanied the melody gently and calmly.
It was an invitation.
Lin Feng was already a little tipsy. He raised his head from the sofa and stared blankly at An Xin.
"Huh?"
"Rooftop?"
"Mhm," An Xin replied. Her beautiful eyes were still calmly looking at Lin Feng.
"Can I?"
Her tone was still gentle.
Even though it was a sincere invitation, it was impossible to refuse.
"Oh, sure …" Lin Feng scratched his head. He turned to the others in the living room and asked, "Ceng, are you coming?"
Ceng Rui's eyes flickered. He shook his head and refused.
"No need. I'll just stay here and rest."
Lin Feng turned to Tang Bingyao and Ren Rou. "What about Tang Tang and Rou?"
Ren Rou's gaze quickly swept past a certain someone and the girl. No one knew what was going through her mind. Just as she was about to agree, Tang Bingyao stretched out her hand and gently pulled her back. The girl beat her to it and shook her head.
"We're not going either."
"Rou Rou, I'll be fine."
"You guys go."
Ren Rou was a little stunned. She subconsciously looked at Tang Bingyao, but Tang Bingyao didn't look at her. Instead, she earnestly repeated to Lin Feng:
"Lin Feng, you go with Steamed Bun."
"It's fine here."
Lin Feng scratched his head and nodded. "Oh, alright. We'll be going first then."
He stood up and looked at An Xin.
"Let's go then."
An Xin smiled.
"Mhm. Okay."
… …
The door in front of the vestibule outside the living room was opened and closed.
Lin Feng and An Xin went to the rooftop.
At this time, only Zhang Hao, Ouyang, Yang Fan, and Tang Bingyao, Ren Rou, and Ceng Rui, who were still conscious, were lying on the floor in disorder in the living room.
Ceng Rui looked around and shook his head.
"There are two bathrooms here, right?
I'll go wipe my face and wake up. "
Then, he walked toward the other bathroom.
Only Tang Bingyao and Ren Rou were awake in the living room.
At this moment, Ren Rou finally couldn't help but look at Tang Bingyao in confusion. She asked, "Tang Tang, you just …"
Halfway through her question, Ren Rou did not know how to describe it. She deliberated over her words for a long time before she cautiously spoke again.
"We're just going to let Lin Feng and Steamed Bun go to the Heavens … …"
"Aren't you related?"
Out of all her friends, Ren Rou was probably the one who understood the complicated relationship between Tang Bingyao, Lin Feng, and An Xin the most. She still remembered a conversation she had with Tang Bingyao on the subway more than half a year ago.
She knew that Tang Tang had always liked someone.
Tang Bingyao also knew that Lin Feng and An Xin were childhood sweethearts. Tang Bingyao had always felt a sense of inferiority in her heart when she saw Lin Feng and An Xin's perfect relationship.
This truly put Ren Rou in a difficult position.
As a matter of fact, although she was close to An Xin and Tang Bingyao, she was more inclined to stand on Tang Bingyao's side because she had known Tang Tang earlier than Tang Bingyao, so she was more inclined to side with her.
However, Tang Bingyao's' competitor 'was An Xin.
If it were anyone else, Ren Rou wouldn't think they had the qualifications to compete with Tang Bingyao.
But … …
Only An Xin, who was as elegant as a princess and as flawless as an elf, couldn't give Tang Bingyao any confidence and tell her that Tang Bingyao could win against An Xin.
A moment ago, when An Xin had called Lin Feng up to the rooftop, Ren Rou had wanted to say that she and Tang Tang would go up as well.
It was a small thought.
She wanted to fight for an opportunity for An Xin.
At the very least, she didn't want Tang Bingyao to have the chance to be alone with An Xin.
It sounded a little selfish, but that was exactly what Ren Rou thought. She didn't expect Tang Bingyao to reject her before she could say anything.
Ren Rou couldn't figure out what Tang Bingyao was thinking.
He looked at the girl beside him. Tang Bingyao pursed her lips, shook her head, and said in a low voice,
"I'm fine."
Ren Rou panicked. "B-but —"
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that Tang Bingyao's eyes were slightly red, which made her even more anxious.
"Look at you!
And you said it's fine!
If you really like that guy, then don't do something so 'modest'!
"There's no such thing as modesty. If you like him, then fight for it yourself!"
Tang Bingyao hurriedly blurted out these words, but it didn't seem to have much effect. It only made Tang Bingyao's eyes redder, and crystal clear tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would fall at any time.
Even so, the girl still tried hard to sniffle. Her eyes were red, but she shook her head forcefully. She sobbed and tried to argue.
"It's really not because of that."
Ren Rou was at a loss.
"Then … then why are you …"
Tang Bingyao sat on the sofa with her knees curled up and buried her head between her legs. She recalled the heart-to-heart conversation she had with Tang Bingyao two days ago at Anxin's house, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
"It's nothing."
"I'm just …"
"A little sad."
… …
Looking out from the rooftop, one could easily see the night view of the entire Demonic City.
The night breeze of the summer night blew on the rooftop of the building.
There was a slight chill in the air.
As Lin Feng walked up to the balcony, he felt the cool night breeze caress his face. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He sighed with emotion.
"Oh …"
"Sure enough, the wind makes me feel better."
Lin Feng opened his eyes and saw An Xin standing in front of the railing not far from him. She was staring at the night view of the city in a daze.
Tonight, she was wearing a pure white dress.
The wind blew.
Her skirt danced gracefully in the night sky.
Her hair fluttered in the wind, but it couldn't hide her beautiful face.
She had an otherworldly temperament.
It was a mesmerizing sight.
Even Lin Feng couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. "Steamed Bun, you're really pretty tonight."
An Xin turned around with a smile. "Really? It's my birthday, after all. I have to dress up a little. "
Lin Feng nodded in a serious manner.
"You're right.
You'll be eighteen after your birthday. You're a big girl now. "
The girl glared at him and said, "You sound like an old man. It's as if you're old."
Lin Feng didn't mind. He continued to sigh.
"But time really flies."
The last time we talked about your birthday, you were in Guangzhou. Now it's already today.
It feels like half a year has passed by in the blink of an eye. "
An Xin pursed her lips. Then she smiled again.
"Yeah.
It's not just half a year. "
"I feel that from the time I transferred to Shanghai until now, everything seems to have just happened yesterday."
