My love game is too abstract

#163 - No need to express feelings in words

They were all slightly stunned. Yarrow hadn't expected Serena to take the initiative to kiss him.

Serena was even more surprised.

After all that, this guy actually dodged!

Didn't that make it seem like she was offering the kiss!

Her face was already flushed red, but she slowly turned around, moved to the side, tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, and lowered her head, not daring to look at Yarrow's face.

Having finally taken this step, she didn't know how to face him.

She really wanted to cover her face and run away right now.

At this moment, Yarrow raised his hand and gently stroked her face.

Serena looked up, watching him, at a loss.

Yarrow picked up a hairpin from the ground, clipped it into her hair, and then flicked her hair.

"Your hairpin fell off."

That's all he said.

Serena opened her mouth slightly, but in the end, she only hummed softly.

She couldn't hear what the host was saying anymore; her mind was filled with the scene just now.

It wasn't until Yarrow pulled her that she realized that more than an hour had passed, and the tea party was over.

Most people hadn't left yet. This gathering had also prepared a small flower field for them. Each couple could plant seeds engraved with their names in the soil. When the flowers grew, it would symbolize the fulfillment of their love.

Young people probably liked this kind of small romance that only had commemorative significance.

"Want to try?" Yarrow asked Serena.

Serena seemed to still be in a daze. She only glanced at the flower field and nodded, seemingly not even knowing what they were doing.

Yarrow led her forward, also received a portion of flower seeds, engraved their initials on the glass ball-sized seeds with an engraving pen, found a pit in the soil, and buried the seeds in it.

After doing all this, they left the flower garden.

"Serena! See you tomorrow!" Blanche, not far away, was waving goodbye to them.

But Serena seemed not to hear her either. Yarrow was really afraid that the other party would come up to talk again, so he quickly pulled Serena away.

They walked home together.

Serena didn't say a word, lowered her head, carrying her handbag, and followed a little behind him.

"Are you alright?"

Walking, Yarrow couldn't help but look back and say.

"I I'm fine," Serena said, looking at him in a daze.

"What's wrong?"

Yarrow scratched his head, looking at her uneasily: "It's just that I see you've been sulking. You ignored anyone who talked to you just now. I'm worried if you're feeling unwell or something."

Serena lowered her eyes and said softly, "I'm fine."

She paused, then quickly walked forward.

"Let's go home quickly. The weekend's homework isn't finished yet. I won't let you copy it when you can't finish it."

"You always say that, but in the end, you still let me copy it," Yarrow chuckled.

"Then guess if I will this time," Serena snorted, "Also, the monthly test will start next Thursday. Have you reviewed?"

"Uh, I completely forgot."

"I knew it."

"But Serena is so gentle, she definitely won't leave me alone, right?" Yarrow followed up.

"Stop it. You're always like this, a last-minute crammer. I'm too lazy to care about you."

"I don't want to cram, I just want to hug your feet, Serena," Yarrow said, leaning closer.

"It's useless even if you beg me."

"It's not that I want it to be useful, I just simply like to hug your feet."

"You " Serena's face turned slightly red, and she glared at him.

"I'm ignoring you."

She walked forward alone, angrily, and Yarrow followed with a chuckle, teasing her from time to time.

Not far away, there was an old woman selling crystal bracelets by the roadside. Seeing them walking together, she smiled and stepped forward to promote her bracelets.

"Buy a pair of bracelets. This is blue rose crystal. Wearing it will make the love of young couples like you more complete."

"I, we are not ."

Serena was about to refuse, but Yarrow stepped forward and picked up a string of crystals to examine it.

"How much is it, Grandma?" he asked the price.

Seeing that they were interested, the old woman immediately talked endlessly about the story of the blue rose crystal, what kind of metaphysical energy and beautiful meaning it had, and finally said that it cost ten Daca per string, and selling them in pairs only cost one Sic.

Yarrow chose two nicer-looking strings and paid one Sic.

Serena watched him blankly from the side, her heart beating wildly again.

"For you," Yarrow shook one of the strings in front of Serena.

"Me Me?" Serena was still a little at a loss.

"Don't want it?" Yarrow said, "Although it's a cheap item, it's still a token of my affection."

He put on a string for himself, and then took Serena's hand and put the other string on her fair wrist.

Serena touched the sapphire on the bracelet, lowered her head, and said softly: "Thank you thank you."

At this moment, she suddenly realized that some things don't need to be expressed in such a direct way. Like ice, even if there is only a little bit of warmth, it will slowly melt over time.

"By the way, does this kind of crystal really work?" Yarrow asked.

"Of course this kind of mass-produced crystal is useless. The idea that crystals can improve luck is just a rumor. No academic report has shown that crystals have this effect. Only some divination techniques might use this kind of crystal, and if it were really useful, everyone would just need to buy a crystal and wear it. However, there are magical artifacts that can improve luck, but that also requires paying a corresponding price. There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world."

Serena subconsciously started talking non-stop.

"But it's still nice as a souvenir, right?" Yarrow said.

Serena looked at him for a moment, then nodded gently.

As if wanting to hide something, she quickly turned her head and said.

"It's, it's getting late, let's go back early "

The two walked side by side in silence, and as they walked, Yarrow suddenly said out of the blue:

"Want to hold hands?"

Serena didn't answer him, but slowly, one hand was slightly raised towards him.

Yarrow smiled faintly and grasped this soft, delicate little hand.

Serena lowered her head and didn't say a word, but a warm arc had already appeared on the corner of her mouth.

They just walked quietly hand in hand on the street in the setting sun.

"Someday, do you want to go on a date together?" Yarrow asked.
