Chapter 45 part 1

The bonfire party was held on the dam next to the Couple’s Bridge.

Villagers dressed in traditional attire, gathered around the bonfire, singing and dancing. There were also people playing flutes, their melodies intertwining with the voices and footsteps, creating a lively atmosphere.

On the other side of the bonfire, lamb and various vegetables were being grilled, producing a delightful aroma.

As guests, the six of them were pulled to join a few dances. After dancing, the four girls sat aside, eating grilled meat while continuing to watch the bonfire dance party.

Meanwhile, the two men stayed in the center of the bonfire, starting their performance.

Ouyang Chao and Zhou Hanchi chose to sing a famous modern love song together.

When Ouyang Chao sang, his voice was bright and sunny, and his lingering notes always had a soft, bubbly quality. On the contrary, Zhou Hanchi’s voice was deep, husky, and oozing with charm, causing several girls from the village to scream in excitement. Some even sang along with them, and many others ran to the fire to dance along with the music.

After this song, the atmosphere of the bonfire party reached its peak.

By walking hand in hand across the Couple’s Bridge, they symbolized being together.

The remaining crowd cheered and raised their glasses, toasting each other. Xia Shutong and the others didn’t drink this time, but Zhou Hanchi and Ouyang Chao, as the matchmakers for the new couple, were generously poured with a lot of alcohol.

After the party, the group of people didn’t rush back to their lodging, but walked towards the lakeside of Moon Reflection Lake.

In the late night, the bright moon hung high in the night sky like a jade plate, surrounded by shimmering stars, filling the entire dark night.

The lake was filled with starlight, and the moon in the lake shimmered as it gently swayed with the breeze.

It was like a dream like wonderland.

After taking pictures of the guests observing the moon by the lake, today’s shooting came to an end.

They began to walk back.

Yun Feiwu and Xia Shutong’s lodging was at the furthest edge, and by the time they reached the door, most of the others had already returned to their rooms. However, at this moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out, getting closer and closer.

Ouyang Chao stopped outside the lodging’s fence. Under the moonlight, his face was slightly flushed, and his gaze seemed a bit anxious. “Y-yun Yun, can you walk with me for a bit? I have something to say to you.”

Ouyang Chao was already an oblivious and straightforward person, not to mention that he had been drinking today. He was almost about to write the words “confession” on his face.

Xia Shutong’s face sank slightly as she tightly held Yun Feiwu’s hand.

Yun Feiwu didn’t respond to Ouyang Chao’s words but obediently looked at Xia Shutong.

If Xia Shutong didn’t want her to go, then she wouldn’t go either.

In the silence, Ouyang Chao also sensed something and his voice weakened, “Yun Yun… if you don’t want to, then I won’t force you.”

“Mm.” Yun Feiwu looked at him with a gentle gaze, but her words were ruthless, “I don’t want to…”

Before she could finish speaking, Xia Shutong suddenly let go of her hand and gently pushed her shoulder, whispering, “Maomao, go.”

Yun Feiwu was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, “I’ll be back soon.”

…

After returning to the room and pulling open the curtains, Xia Shutong saw the round moon on the lake not far away.

It was so beautiful.

She knew that Ouyang Chao had come to confess his feelings to Yun Feiwu.

In such a romantic setting, not to mention Ouyang Chao, even she had the thought.

Xia Shutong walked to the window, her fingers caressed the glass, her heart pounding.

She anxiously covered her chest, but a slight smile appeared on her lips, a smile that was somewhat proud yet incredibly gentle.

Xia Shutong had been sour about Ouyang Chao for several days, but since he wasn’t someone she completely disliked, she decided to let him have a chance to be rejected by Yun Feiwu today.

…

Yun Feiwu walked towards Ouyang Chao but didn’t follow him outside. Instead, she stood by the fence.

“Ouyang Chao, what do you want to say?”

Yun Feiwu’s expression remained gentle, but her voice was very soft, almost inaudible.

With such a faint voice, Ouyang Chao felt that all the courage he had gathered throughout the day had been drained.

The effects of alcohol had also diminished significantly.

Yun Feiwu really has no feelings for him at all.

“Yun Yun.” After a long silence, Ouyang Chao chuckled awkwardly, “I like you.”

It didn’t sound like a confession; it sounded more like self-mockery.

“Well, Ouyang Chao,” Yun Feiwu nodded seriously, “thank you for your feelings. But I don’t like you. I have someone I like already. You don’t have to continue trying for me because no matter what, I will always like her.”

It was ruthless, yet sincere. That was Yun Feiwu’s style.

Ouyang Chao forced a smile, intending to say something sentimental, but nothing came out.

After a while, he tentatively asked, “Yun Yun, can you tell me who you like? I, I want to know who is better than me.”

The last sentence from Ouyang Chao was meant to be a joke, but his current expression, although seemingly smiling, it looks as though he was crying.
