Chapter 148 Love
Chapter 148 Love
Li Xin stood in front of Ouyang Mengmian, his eyes involuntarily falling on her moving lips. The pink lips, evenly thick and thin, were like a blooming flower, gleaming with an alluring luster. He listened to her gentle and sincere thanks, and the voice was like a gentle spring breeze, blowing across his barren heart.
In an instant, Li Xin felt a warm current surging in his heart. It was as hot as lava and as turbulent as the tide. This warm current not only warmed his heart, but also ignited some emotions deep in his heart.
The unprecedented surge of emotions told Li Xin that he had fallen irresistibly in love with the young girl in front of him whom he had only met once.
Li Xin couldn't help but feel crazy. He didn't even know the girl's name. He just glanced at her a few times and fell in love with her uncontrollably! Most importantly, he didn't even know if such an outstanding girl had a boyfriend...
However, even if we clearly understand the weirdness and complexity of our own psychology, human emotions are always like wild horses that are difficult to be completely tamed and suppressed.
Li Xin knew it all too well. He was already deeply trapped in it and couldn't extricate himself. He lowered his head slightly, trying to hide the surging emotions in his heart. However, the moment he raised his head again, the strange light that had never appeared before in the depths of his eyes still revealed his thoughts that he could no longer hide.
"You... don't have to be so formal with me, this is... my job..."
After stumbling over and over again, Li Xin finally finished the sentence. He felt as if he had used up all his strength, and these few words almost used up all the courage he had accumulated in his half a lifetime.
At this moment, he seemed to be going through a big test in his life, so nervous that his heartbeat accelerated and he was at a loss. So, Li Xin took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his agitated heart.
Ouyang Mengmian knew very well that the young conductor in front of him was indeed shouldering important responsibilities such as ensuring train safety and taking care of passengers' convenience.
But the problem is, there were many passengers standing like them in the entire train, but why did the conductor choose herself and Susan, rescue them from the crowded and pungent train connection, and bring them to the door of the relatively spacious and comfortable conductor's lounge?
Anyone with a little common sense would understand that this matter is definitely not as simple as "one's job" as he said, but should be included in the category of "special care"!
Ouyang Mengmian, who understood this, saw Li Xin's passionate eyes, and her face flushed even more. Ouyang Mengmian's heartbeat also accelerated unconsciously. She lowered her head slightly, trying to avoid Li Xin's gaze that seemed to see through her heart. An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, with both the throbbing of Li Xin's "over-caring" for her and the shyness of facing the emotions of men and women for the first time.
The two stood facing each other, and the air was filled with an indescribable atmosphere of ambiguity. Ouyang Mengmian's heartbeat echoed in her ears, and she felt her cheeks getting hotter and hotter, and she could almost feel Li Xin's burning gaze lingering on her. She turned her head slightly, trying to cover her blushing cheeks with her hair, but the shyness in her heart surged like a tide, leaving her nowhere to escape.
Li Xin also felt the embarrassment and tension. He tried to control his breathing and tried to make himself look calmer. However, whenever he looked up at Ouyang Mengmian, those clear and bright eyes always made his heart beat faster, as if there was an invisible force pulling him.
They just stood there quietly, everything around them seemed to disappear, only the sound of each other's heartbeats and breathing echoing in their ears.
A soft chuckle broke the ambiguous atmosphere between Ouyang Mengmian and Li Xin. They both came back to their senses from the subtle tension at the same time, and their eyes turned to Susan who laughed.
Susan realized that she had interrupted the two of them unintentionally and felt a little embarrassed. She belatedly covered her mouth. But then she realized that she needed to find a suitable reason to ease the atmosphere, so she explained: "Hey, sorry to interrupt you, I... I just saw that you had been standing there for so long, so..."
After hearing Susan's explanation, Ouyang Mengmian felt a little relieved from the embarrassment in her heart. She looked at Susan gratefully and whispered imperceptibly, "Then... I... I'll go sit down first..."
She spoke in a very low voice, and when she said the word "sit down", it was almost inaudible. When she spoke, she did not make any clear gestures or say any words to let people know who she was talking to. But Li Xin knew that she was talking to him. His heart jumped suddenly, as if it was tightly grasped by something.
"Uh-huh……"
Li Xin responded nervously, his voice trembling. He didn't dare look Ouyang Mengmian in the eye, but glanced at her quickly, then quickly looked away. He felt his cheeks getting hot, and his heart was filled with panic and confusion.
Ouyang Mengmian was no less nervous than Li Xin. She didn't dare to make eye contact with Li Xin again. She just lowered her head slightly and took the folding stool from Li Xin's hand.
Li Xin stood there, his eyes unconsciously following Ouyang Mengmian's figure, until she unfolded the small stool and sat down completely, then he withdrew his gaze.
