Fire Captain

After returning home, Zhao Xi had a big meal first, and then returned to her room. She wanted to relax and have a good rest, but after lying on the bed, she didn’t know if it was because she slept too much on the plane during the day. She should have fallen asleep in seconds, but she didn’t fall asleep even after half an hour. This was really a big problem. On the contrary, some images kept emerging in her mind, which made her more awake.

Zhao Xi sighed, got up from the bed, walked to the desk and sat down, fiddling with the round tumbler on the desk. Why did he feel that this tumbler that looked like a Buddha looked like Bai Ziyang? He couldn't fall asleep without pressing it several times every day.

When Zhao's mother came out to drink water, she suddenly found that the light in Zhao Xi's room was still on. She pushed the door open curiously and saw Zhao Xi lying on the desk and said, "Er Xi, you've been busy all day, why don't you take a rest? Aren't you tired?"

Zhao Xi looked back at Mother Zhao and said weakly, "Oh, I can't sleep..."

Mother Zhao walked into the room and sat next to Zhao Xi's desk. She said in surprise, "Strange, really strange. How could someone who usually falls asleep as soon as she touches the pillow and wishes she could sleep forever actually have a time when she can't sleep?"

Zhao Xi said: "This... who hasn't felt annoyed at some point..."

Mother Zhao said, "If others have it, I believe it... but you have it? I don't believe it!"

Zhao Xi: "Is she really my biological mother?"

Mother Zhao stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore... There must be a reason for your upset. You are so old now, it can't be for money if it's not for studying. Besides, I don't know you. Is it for Ziyang?"

Seeing that Zhao Xi was silent, Zhao's mother knew that she had guessed correctly, and she couldn't help but say with relief: "Finally he got it. The pigs we raise can finally eat cabbages..."

Zhao Xi said speechlessly: "Mom...don't you find it weird? I originally thought of him as my good friend!"

Mother Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "Who calls you a good friend? You are so stupid. Do you think everyone is the same as you? Ziyang's mother and I have seen it for a long time. We thought you two could be together in high school, but there was no sign at all! This makes us anxious..." Mother Zhao was talking, and seeing Zhao Xi's expression react, she quickly coughed and said, "Ziyang finally confessed to you? What did he say to you? Is it romantic?"

Zhao Xi slammed the table and said, "Is that why I'm worried? I suddenly realized that it seems that I have feelings for him, but he didn't say anything. Isn't this embarrassing?"

Mother Zhao said, "Then tell me, my silly girl!"

Zhao Xi said embarrassedly: "How embarrassed am I?"

Mother Zhao said, "You don't have the demeanor of your mother. If I hadn't taken the initiative, you wouldn't be here!"

Zhao Xi opened his mouth wide and said: "Ah!!!"

When Zhao's mother stood up to leave, she pinched Zhao Xi's cheek and felt that it still felt so good. Finally, she said, "Okay, don't think about it. We can talk about it tomorrow. Just rest today!"

Before turning off the lights, Zhao Xi thought: "Yes, I'll talk to him tomorrow and make things clear! If you dare not agree to him, you'll be dead!"

Compared with Zhao Xi's hesitation, Bai Ziyang felt that the time was just right. He received a message from Zhao Xi early the next morning, asking him to meet at the old place.

The old place that Zhao Xi was talking about was just behind their high school. Because there was a snack street there, Bai Ziyang often took Zhao Xi there to improve their lives. It turned out that the world of foodies is always inseparable from food.

Zhao Xi got up early in the morning to try on clothes, but every one he tried on the left looked bad, and every one he tried on the right looked childish. Looking at himself in the mirror, he seemed never to be satisfied. Finally, seeing that the time was almost up, he hastily put on the one that he had barely accepted before, and hurried out the door.

When I arrived, I saw Bai Ziyang standing from a distance. He was wearing a long coat. In the biting cold wind, he must have looked extraordinarily handsome compared to the people around him who were huddled in bulky cotton coats.

Bai Ziyang saw Zhao Xi approaching from a distance. He didn't know whether her red face was due to the cold or shyness. Bai Ziyang took off his scarf and wrapped it around Zhao Xi's neck, saying, "Let's go. What do you want to eat?"

Zhao Xi said: "Who wants to eat these so early in the morning? Just... just walk around for now!"

Bai Ziyang nodded without comment and said, "Let's go!"

Although they were just taking a walk, seeing the silent Zhao Xi, Bai Ziyang still bought her a breakfast and a cup of hot soy milk. Indeed, Zhao Xi had no time to eat breakfast this early in the morning. She was getting hungrier and hungrier, so she took the breakfast handed to her by Bai Ziyang and had no time to be reserved and started eating quickly.

Zhao Xi seemed to be the typical person who was not panicked even though he had something in his stomach. After he had eaten and drunk enough, he wiped his mouth and said, "Well...well...you see, we have known each other for such a long time. What do you think of me?"

Bai Ziyang was stunned, and said inexplicably: "Very good..."

Zhao Xi looked at Bai Ziyang dumbfoundedly: "Is it over?"

Bai Ziyang looked at Zhao Xi strangely, as if he didn't understand what she meant, and said, "Hmm? What else?"

Zhao Xi was furious. After thinking for a while, he said, "That is...if...you think..."

But Bai Ziyang suddenly said: "Eh? Let's go to the movies!"

"Ah?" Zhao Xi looked up and saw that they had walked to the entrance of the cinema. Bai Ziyang didn't wait for Zhao Xi to refuse and pulled her to the ticket office. After buying the ticket, he went to buy popcorn and drinks. When Zhao Xi reacted, they were already sitting in their seats, waiting for the movie to start.

Now Zhao Xi's only thought was: Why am I here? Who am I? What am I going to do?

The movie at 11:00 in the morning seemed to be a senior movie? Anyway, there were only a few people in the whole theater. Zhao Xi was eating popcorn in her seat, thinking it was Bai Ziyang who was biting it. As for what the movie was? Don't ask her, she was in no mood to watch it. When she turned to look at Bai Ziyang, he seemed to be watching the movie seriously and attentively, and he ate popcorn faster and faster...

After the movie ended, Zhao Xi walked out of the cinema dejectedly on the road. She felt that confession should be done in one go, and now her plans were all disrupted by Bai Ziyang, who was still chattering away beside her.

"Was the movie just now good?" Bai Ziyang asked Zhao Xi while tilting his head.

"It's okay..." Zhao Xi said with a wandering look. She didn't have the time to watch a movie at that time.

Bai Ziyang was still talking excitedly: "Well, I think this movie is pretty good. There aren't many romance movies that are worth watching nowadays... Hey, which plot do you like best?"

"Ah?" Zhao Xi was bewildered, "...I like...um...the ending...um!" Finally he nodded affirmatively.

Bai Ziyang looked at her in surprise, nodded and said, "Well... although the ending is a bit sad, at least the hero and heroine are reunited."

Zhao Xi nodded randomly.

Bai Ziyang asked, "If someone more handsome than the male protagonist confessed to you like that, would you agree?"

Zhao Xi followed Bai Ziyang's words and said completely letting herself go, "If a handsome guy confesses to me, how can I not agree immediately? I will jump on him without him confessing to me... The key is, where is the handsome guy? Where?" Zhao Xi shook his head exaggeratedly, pretending to look around.

For some reason, a rose suddenly appeared in Bai Ziyang's hand. He stood in front of Zhao Xi, lowered his head, looked into Zhao Xi's eyes, and asked, "So, are you willing to be my girlfriend, Zhao Xi?"

Zhao Xi was stunned. All she wanted to say seemed to be stuck in her mouth. She looked up at Bai Ziyang's eyes blankly and saw the seriousness and affection in his eyes. When Bai Ziyang raised his hand to wipe her eyes, she realized that she had shed tears. Zhao Xi suddenly jumped up, hugged Bai Ziyang's neck with both arms, clamped Bai Ziyang's waist with both legs, and shouted happily: "Ah! Why didn't you say it earlier! You did it on purpose today!"

Bai Ziyang held Zhao Xi and said, "Miss, be reserved, be reserved!"

Zhao Xi looked at Bai Ziyang and shouted, "Never mind..."

Bai Ziyang looked at Zhao Xi and said, "You look so happy!"

Zhao Xi said, "You bad guy... You must have seen it a long time ago. You made me feel up and down all morning and depressed all morning!"

Bai Ziyang said: "Yes, I have seen that you have been coveting my beauty for a long time. If you want to make a move on me today, I will have to strike first."

"You are so conceited!"

Bai Ziyang wanted to put Zhao Xi down, but Zhao Xi held him tightly. He looked around and found that they had been taken to a small road that few people passed by by Bai Ziyang. He then closed his eyes slightly and slowly lowered his head...
