Jiang Xiaoyu said that he likes me and has liked me for a long time.
"I have had a crush on you for many years," he said. "I didn't know how to tell you, and I didn't know if you would accept me."
I blinked and looked at him. "Then why are you telling me now?"
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled. "Because... I want our relationship to have a formal beginning."
I was taken aback. "A beginning?"
Jiang Xiaoyu nodded. "Yes, a beginning."
I asked, "What if I think about it and then refuse?"
Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head. "That's okay too."
"My feelings are my own business. Whether you accept or reject them is your right."
"I just don't want to regret it later."
"And..." he paused, "I also don't want to put pressure on you."
I looked at him and suddenly laughed. "You were like this before too. When you received love letters, you'd rather hide them than let me know."
Jiang Xiaoyu laughed as well. "You knew all that?"
I said, "Of course I did. I also know that on your birthday during the college entrance exams, you originally planned to confess to me, but after I scolded you, you gave up."
Jiang Xiaoyu felt a bit embarrassed. "You remember all that?"
I nodded. "Yes, I remember everything."
Jiang Xiaoyu rubbed his nose. "Then I won't hide anything from you anymore; I'll tell you everything."
I looked at him, feeling a warm surge in my heart.
I reached out and gently held Jiang Xiaoyu's hand.
Jiang Xiaoyu turned his hand to grasp mine tightly.
In the following days, life went on as usual.
Jiang Xiaoyu still brought me breakfast every day, helped me correct my homework, and accompanied me to the cafeteria for meals.
However, there were subtle changes between us.
For instance, he would tuck the hair that fell in front of my face behind my ear.
He would also press down the rice in my spoon to make it easier for me to eat.
Moreover, he would button up my coat to keep me warm.
I really liked these changes.
They made me feel that the distance between Jiang Xiaoyu and me had narrowed a bit more.
On Friday, it happened to be Jiang Xiaoyu's birthday.
I originally planned to go hiking and camping in the mountains with him alone to give him an unforgettable birthday.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ming found out about the plan and insisted on joining us.
As a result, the group heading into the mountains turned into six people.
Besides me, Jiang Xiaoyu, and Zhao Ming, there were Zhu Xi and a local villager's grandson, Wang Xiaodong.
Wang Xiaodong is ten years old and is a student of Zhu Xi. When he heard they were going into the mountains, he cried and insisted on joining us.
I couldn't refuse him, so I had no choice but to bring him along.
We walked up the mountain path, enjoying many beautiful views along the way.
When we reached halfway up the mountain, I suddenly spotted a groundhog not far away.
Excited, I tugged at Jiang Xiaoyu's sleeve and said, "Look, it's a groundhog!"
Jiang Xiaoyu followed my gaze and indeed saw a chubby groundhog.
He set down his backpack and took out his phone. "Let's take a picture with it."
I nodded, walked over to him, and raised my phone to snap a few photos of the groundhog.
After taking the pictures, I started looking through them when Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly said something in dialect.
I didn't understand, so I turned my head and asked him curiously, "What did you say?"
Jiang Xiaoyu's face turned slightly red as he looked down and translated in Mandarin, "You look good."
I was taken aback for a moment, and my cheeks warmed up.
Clearing my throat, I turned back to pretend to continue looking at the photos, but inside I felt a bit shaken.
I had to admit that Jiang Xiaoyu was quite good at flirting.
After walking for more than four hours, we finally arrived at the campsite.
They found a spot to set up the tent and then sat around chatting together.
Wang Xiaodong curiously asked, "Sister Song Jia, what made you think of coming here to teach?"
I smiled and replied, "Because I want to do something meaningful."
Wang Xiaodong asked again, "What about Brother Jiang? Did you come here for something meaningful too?"
Jiang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "I was called here."
Everyone laughed upon hearing that.
In the evening, everyone started playing Truth or Dare.
In the first round, Jiang Xiaoyu drew Dare.
"Which one will you choose?" Zhao Ming asked eagerly.
Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "I'll choose Dare."
Zhao Ming laughed, "Alright, then you have to sing a song in front of everyone."
This task was neither too difficult nor too easy.
It mainly depended on Jiang Xiaoyu's mental fortitude.
However, Jiang Xiaoyu didn't hesitate and readily agreed, "Okay, I'll sing."
He picked up his phone, opened a song, and began to sing along with the accompaniment.
As soon as he started singing, I was shocked.
Because the song he chose was actually Jay Chou's "Canon."
This song is extremely difficult to sing; even professionals wouldn't dare to try it lightly.
