Chapter 254 Qinling Sacred Tree (13)
Zhang Qiling accompanied Ji Xiao silently until the end of the Lantern Festival. Then they said goodbye to Ji Xiao's family, left Sichuan, and boarded the train to Tibet.
Although Zhang Qiling is usually indifferent, when he feels the acceptance and recognition of Ji Xiao's family, he still feels a surge of joy in his heart.
However, due to living alone for a long time, he seemed a little at a loss as to how to express his emotions. Especially when facing the elders in Ji Xiao's family, Zhang Qiling always felt extremely nervous.
Now that they had finally left Ji Xiao's house, the two of them sat side by side on the train heading to Tibet. Even Zhang Qiling, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but let out a deep breath, as if he wanted to relieve the pressure in his heart.
In order to avoid sharing a room with strangers, Ji Xiao bought the entire carriage's sleeper berth when purchasing the ticket. At this time, Ji Xiao leaned comfortably beside Zhang Qiling, sitting on the same berth.
So when Ji Xiao noticed the subtle change in Zhang Qiling's mood, she couldn't help but look at him and said jokingly: "I didn't expect you to be so nervous during this period!"
Zhang Qiling lowered his head slightly, with a hint of grievance in his eyes, and stared at the slightly naughty person in his arms quietly for a long time without saying a word. Ji Xiao was originally a thick-skinned person, but under Zhang Qiling's continuous and focused gaze, she gradually became shy.
Ji Xiao quickly stammered and explained: "Well... Actually, I just wanted my dad and the others to feel a little more at ease. Really! I can swear to God that I definitely didn't refuse to help you because I wanted to see you make a fool of yourself."
However, after hearing these words, Zhang Qiling felt even more wronged, so he gently leaned his head on Ji Xiao's head and called softly: "Xiao Xiao~"
For some reason, Ji Xiao actually sensed a hint of inexplicable danger in Zhang Qiling's aggrieved eyes and calm voice.
Her heart tightened and she quickly moved away from Zhang Qiling, and said hastily: "Well, I'll go upstairs and rest for a while, you should also go to bed early." As soon as she finished speaking, she was ready to climb up to the upper bunk using the ladder.
But how could Zhang Qiling let Ji Xiao go so easily? After all, they had been together day and night for the past six months and were already very familiar with each other.
Although the two have not slept in the same bed yet, and usually just hold hands and exercise together, and have never even kissed, the rooms they live in are not far away from each other.
During the New Year period, Qi Heng, for the sake of his old father's fragile "glass heart", deliberately settled Zhang Qiling at the other end of the yard, three or four rooms away from Ji Xiao's room.
Therefore, during this period of time, apart from occasionally meeting each other during the day, they dared not easily step out of the door at night. The reason was that Qi Heng was not afraid of the cold and always stayed in the middle of the yard until the early morning before returning to the house to sleep.
Ji Xiao also felt sorry for her aging father and did not want to upset him, so she never went out once.
So at this moment, Zhang Qiling quickly pulled Ji Xiao into his arms, then leaned down, and his lips accurately covered the pink and tender lips that he had been thinking about for a long time.
He extended his tongue and licked it gently. It was just as he had expected, soft and sweet. Ji Xiao noticed the innocence of the person in front of her. It was obvious that she had no experience in kissing, so she changed her strategy instantly, from passive to active.
Ji Xiao put her arms around Zhang Qiling's slender neck and responded to his kiss enthusiastically and actively. At first, Zhang Qiling was a little unfamiliar, but as he gradually adapted, he began to slowly figure out the tricks and gradually regained his sense of rhythm. In the end, he successfully took back the initiative and indulged in this wonderful moment with Ji Xiao.
After a long while, the two separated breathlessly. Ji Xiao's cheeks were flushed, and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes. Mainly because of the wrong time and place, Zhang Qiling stopped.
Even though he had lost his memories of the past, he still knew deep down that he was on a speeding train and this was definitely not the place to do anything.
So, Zhang Qiling hugged the beauty in his arms tightly without hesitation, trying his best to calm his agitated heart. After his breathing became steady, he slowly lowered his head and stared at her beautiful face. In an instant, the emptiness in his heart for the past few days disappeared without a trace, replaced by fullness and satisfaction.
Then, he confessed softly with deep affection: "Xiao Xiao, I like you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xiao's heart was slightly shaken, and a look of astonishment appeared on her face, but it disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a smile as brilliant as a flower.
After saying that, Ji Xiao kissed Zhang Qiling's lips again. This time, the kiss was extremely gentle, without a trace of other emotions.
Zhang Qiling hugged Ji Xiao, his heart filled with happiness and peace. He felt Ji Xiao's gentle kiss, as if time had stopped flowing. The bumps and noises of the train gradually faded away, leaving only their breathing and heartbeats.
Ji Xiao slowly stretched out her hand and gently pushed Zhang Qiling away, her eyes revealing deep love and determination. She whispered softly: "No matter what happens in the future, no matter how many difficulties we encounter, we will always stay together and never leave each other, right?"
Zhang Qiling silently gazed into Ji Xiao's affectionate and determined eyes, and an indescribable feeling of emotion welled up in his heart. He nodded slightly, indicating his consent, and then hugged Ji Xiao tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body.
After several days of long driving, they finally arrived in Tibet. The reason why the journey was so long was mainly due to the slow speed of the green train.
If Zhang Qiling hadn't gotten up frequently to fetch water from the end of the carriage to wipe Ji Xiao's body, she would have felt like she was almost marinated in sweat. Even so, she wasn't much better. Fortunately, at least she didn't have to endure the "magic attack" of a stranger.
