Chapter 281: Send it if you like it
It's almost midnight and the city is still awake.
Haiqi is still full of infinite vitality and vigor.
Showing its unique endless charm and prosperity.
The prosperity of the city and the darkness at the end of the sea form an extremely strong and sharp contrast and visual impact.
At this moment, Haiqi is like a shining oriental pearl.
It exudes a charming brilliance that makes people fall in love with it.
The sea breeze gently blew across Bai Yuan's cheek, bringing fresh air and the sound of waves lapping.
Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the tranquility and harmony of the moment.
Pei Jin had just finished communicating with the crew members in charge of setting off the fireworks.
When I came back, I saw Bai Yuan leaning on the railing of the cruise ship.
Her posture is casual and lazy, which is completely different from her usual elegant and proper appearance at any time and place.
Pei Jin couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart.
He stood there and looked for a while, then calmed down the emotions surging in his heart and walked towards Bai Yuan.
Before he could get closer, Bai Yuan seemed to sense something and turned his head to look in the direction of Pei Jin.
Their eyes met, and the neon lights seemed to cast brilliant, flickering reflections in her eyes.
The soft light shone on her body, as if covering Bai Yuan with a layer of glass-like gauze.
"came back?"
Bai Yuan's voice sounded like a friendly whisper, with a slight nasal tone caused by sleepiness.
There is less of the usual politeness and distance, and more of the flavor of everyday life.
Pei Jin suppressed the crazy beating of the drum in his heart.
He pretended to be calm, but also seemed a little serious because he was too deliberate, "Yeah."
He walked towards Bai Yuan with somewhat stiff steps, and only when his hand was on the railing did he breathe a sigh of relief as if a person floating on the water had finally touched the shore.
"Communication is complete. The fireworks will be lit in ten minutes."
Pei Jin was looking at the magnificent Haiqi Port in the distance, but his peripheral vision was subtly observing Bai Yuan, who was yawning lazily beside him.
The girl rested her arms on the railing, tilted her head, supported her chin with her hand, her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, and it was unclear where she was looking.
With his other free hand, he tapped the railing out of boredom, calculating the passing time.
Perhaps Pei Jin's secret gaze was too intense, making it difficult for Bai Yuan to pretend to ignore it.
She suddenly turned her head to look at the other person.
He raised his voice and asked, "Hmm?"
Suddenly I thought of something and thought that the other party was waiting for me to thank him.
So he bent his eyebrows, chuckled and added: "I forgot to say, thank you Pei Shao."
Suddenly, he took the initiative.
The overly soft voice made Pei Jin look a little flustered.
In a panic, his eyes fell on the white dress Bai Yuan was wearing tonight.
He thought quickly and took off his jacket.
Put the warm clothes on Bai Yuan's shoulders.
Pei Jin looked away, trying to hide his true intentions and said:
"Wake up, or you'll catch a cold if you fall asleep here."
Bai Yuan had already gotten used to the temperature on the deck and didn't feel cold.
But when I put on my clothes and felt the remaining warmth inside the coat, I realized that there was indeed some temperature difference.
She did not refuse, raised her hand to pull her coat, narrowed her eyes again, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Thank you, Mr. Pei."
When Pei Jin said this, it sounded as if he had deliberately said it just to hear her say "thank you".
Pei Jin suddenly became anxious and yelled, "If you don't want to wear it, give it back to me!!!"
As he was speaking, his eyes fell on the emerald white-tailed kite brooch on Bai Yuan's chest belt.
He closed his mouth in frustration, and unusually stopped talking.
Seeing this, Bai Yuan raised his hand and touched the brooch casually.
Sure enough, I saw that there seemed to be something shaking slightly in Pei Jin's eyes.
After a brief thought, he asked, "You've been staring at my brooch all night. Do you like it?"
Seeing that his little trick was caught by the other party again, Pei Jin retorted angrily: "Who likes it?!"
Bai Yuan was used to his awkward behavior of saying one thing and doing another, and saying one thing but doing another.
I didn't think too much about it and just thought he wanted to say it but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
I patiently told him: "This was given to me by a friend. It is not convenient to give it to you."
Pei Jin's eyes flickered as he wondered what kind of friend the other party was to Bai Yuan.
After hearing the second half of the sentence, he never thought of asking Bai Yuan for the brooch.
But I still felt a little unhappy when I heard her directly refuse and deny it right away.
He turned his head and looked away, no longer staring at Bai Yuan and the brooch that was like a thorn in his eyes.
He grumbled stubbornly, "Who cares?"
In this way, it sounds more like someone is sulking because he can't get what he wants.
Bai Yuan chuckled softly and continued, "But if you really like it, I can give you another similar one."
Pei Jin turned his head back quickly and looked at Bai Yuan with sharp eyes, as if judging whether what she said was true or false.
"Or..." Seeing this, Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and teased again, "Master Pei doesn't think highly of me either?"
Pei Jin was afraid that she would regret it, so he quickly said, "You insisted on giving it to me, but I didn't ask you for it!"
Bai Yuan looked at him, who was trying his best to restrain himself but still couldn't suppress his upward smile. He didn't refute him, but just responded to his words as if he was just playing with him out of boredom:
"Well, I insisted on giving it to you. Just consider it as a thank-you gift to Master Pei. Just don't despise it, Master Pei."
The tone of voice had a hint of the unique accent of people from Beijing.
Pei Jin was so happy that he couldn't contain himself.
He was secretly happy in his heart that Bai Yuan and he had the same idea. How could he say that they were not in sync?
While feeling proud, he glanced at Bai Yuan's brooch with disdain, his heart filled with a sense of superiority.
Haha, it’s better to receive than to give!
My mentality has also become calmer and I am no longer overly concerned about the brooch.
At this moment, colorful and dazzling fireworks suddenly burst into the distant port.
Some of them shone with golden light on the shore, while others rose up into space all at once.
Some look like blooming fireworks, others like cascading waterfalls. They are of different colors, blooming brilliantly in the air, illuminating half the sky with unusual brightness.
Out of safety considerations and to prevent confusion between distress flares and fireworks, which would affect rescue operations in times of crisis, the cruise ship itself was not in a position to set off fireworks at this birthday party.
Therefore, fireworks for birthday parties are still lit and released on shore.
Bai Yuan himself was not very interested in the fireworks, he just waited patiently for the fireworks, which were expected to be set off for twenty minutes, to end.
I plan to accept birthday wishes from everyone one by one, then go back to my room to rest and end today's itinerary.
As soon as the fireworks were lit, they quickly attracted a lot of people. They walked from the cabin to the deck. Although they were a little confused as to why the fireworks were set off before midnight, they still concentrated on enjoying this rare beautiful view.
Bai Yuan looked up for a while and suddenly felt that it was a little quiet around him.
Turning around, I found Pei Jin staring at the fireworks exploding in the sky with excitement and concentration.
There was a light in those deep blue eyes that was brighter than the fireworks in the sky.
The young man held onto the railing on the deck with both hands, his eyes filled with eager excitement. There seemed to be an invisible tail behind him, swinging wildly in excitement, slapping Bai Yuan's calves.
Noticing Bai Yuan's gaze, Pei Jin looked back in the direction of his gaze.
His face still maintained the excited expression when watching the fireworks, as if it was his birthday, and his eyes were shining with joy and happiness.
That beautiful, almost perfect face flickered under the light of the fireworks.
"Happy birthday, Bai Yuan!"
The luxury cruise ship was a little far from the shore, and the sound of the fireworks was not as loud as imagined, so Pei Jin's voice was transmitted more clearly to Bai Yuan's ears.
The young man opened and closed his mouth, and for the first time he put aside the stubbornness in his body and spoke to Bai Yuan sincerely with a bright smile.
Pei Jin's overly cheerful smile faltered for a moment, Bai Yuan curved his eyebrows, smiled from the bottom of his heart, and responded:
"Well, I received your blessing. Thank you, Mr. Pei."
