Chapter Ninety-Eight: Isn't This the Beginning?
Luo Jie has been self-isolating lately.
I don't party, I don't go shopping, I don't go out, I just stay at home quietly to read books and watch dramas.
Occasionally, when she was free, she would sit quietly by the window, hugging her knees, resting her side face on her knees, and looking out the window without saying a word.
In fact, there is nothing outside the window except high-rise buildings.
She doesn't know why, she likes to keep this posture motionless, sometimes she doesn't think about anything, and sometimes Cao Xiuyan sounds.
Recently, she has been deliberately letting herself think less about Cao Xiuyan and let herself withdraw from his coercion.
This is also a way for her to think about problems, to think about problems in the third person, without considering "you", I am not "me", I am "him".
Luo Jie found that her life in the past half a year has always been inseparable from Cao Xiuyan.
From the first time I met him in the preliminary round of the speech competition, he forced himself into his world with a tough attitude, and then his life took a turn, and everything revolved around him.
With his help and care before, Luo Jie felt that life was so simple.
But she didn't want to rely too much on Cao Xiuyan and let Cao Xiuyan be her feet.
She thought of Shu Ting's description of love in "To the Oak Tree", like a kapok, nestled next to the oak tree as the image of a tree, rather than a Lingxiao flower that would only rely on him, tightly wrapped around his body, relying on him to survive, and making it difficult for him to breathe.
She doesn't like this feeling, and she doesn't like to suffer from gains and losses for Cao Xiuyan every day.
Moreover, she also figured out one thing, she did not have the right to ask Cao Xiuyan to do anything for her, nor did she have the right to force Cao Xiuyan to make a choice.
Defined in the strict sense, they are currently just friends.
Even if King Xiang is intentional and the goddess is affectionate, some things have to be made clear, everything is silent, or it may be that nothing happened.
Luo Jie is very grateful to Cao Xiuyan and likes Cao Xiuyan very much, but she feels that she should stay away from Cao Xiuyan for the time being.
Stand far away and see it all.
So no matter what Cao Xiuyan said to her this time, she decided to get to know Cao Xiuyan again in the future.
No longer as an admirer.
Thinking about this, when she talked to Cao Xiuyan again, she was much calmer.
Even Chi Qian, she felt that she could face it easily.
If it were mine, I wouldn't let you take it, and if it wasn't mine, I wouldn't want it if you threw it to me.
Maybe I'll fight with you once, but only if Cao Xiuyan is enough to make me tempted again.
Luo Jie thinks so.
Throughout the New Year, Luo Jie was thinking about these things, and when she figured it out, it was already the fourth day of the first month.
She is a relatively sensitive girl, and once she falls into some kind of emotional circle, it is difficult to come out.
Two days ago, Cao Xiuyan told himself that he had prepared a gift for Valentine's Day for himself.
When she saw this news, she was indeed a little happy in her heart.
But she quickly calmed down again.
It doesn't matter how Cao Xiuyan chooses.
I still have to tell myself that I want to make kapok, not Lingxiaohua.
Just accept the gifts, and after the start of school, you still have to focus your life on studying.
Luo Jie gave herself a few psychological hints.
On February 13th, Luo Jie got up late, almost noon.
The American drama was too late last night, and Luo Jie's brain is a little groggy now.
got up, washed and ate, Luo Jie's spirit finally improved a lot.
Back in her bedroom, Luo Jie held her kindle and watched "Pride and Prejudice".
The novel is so good.
An afternoon passed before I knew it.
In fact, Luo Jie didn't look at it much, and she unconsciously remembered the question of what gift Cao Xiuyan would buy for herself.
For the first time......
What could it be?
It's an indescribable feeling. It's like blindfolding a person, she doesn't know what will greet her, she just knows that it will come. Maybe it's the mouth that's gagged, maybe it's something else.
Luo Jie was upset, and the love between Darcy and Elizabeth couldn't make her addicted.
Just when it was dark and the sun was setting, she sat by the window again in a daze.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
It was Cao Xiuyan's call.
Luo Jie's heart was pounding, and she didn't know why.
She bit her lip, a little hesitant.
The phone rang continuously, but she still slid the answer button and listened to the call:
"Hey...... Hey, what are you looking for me?"
"I'm at the gate of your complex, and the security guard won't let me in. ”
Luo Jie was stunned for a moment, and her heart thumped again.
Is this true? or is it false?
Did he come to Hangzhou to look for me?
No, no, no, this is supposed to be fake, it's not true.
"Don't ...... Don't make a fuss. It's not April Fool's Day. Luo Jie chose not to believe it.
With a beep, the phone hung up.
The moment she hung up, Luo Jie felt stunned.
This...... Sure enough, it's fake.
No sooner had the thought risen than the bell rang again.
It's Cao Xiuyan's......
Video invites?
Luo Jie was startled and hurriedly clicked open.
Everything in the picture, Cao Xiuyan's face appeared on her screen.
Before she could react, Cao Xiuyan spoke:
"See for yourself where I am. You don't know each other at the door of your neighborhood, do you?"
Luo Jie is crazy.
She really didn't expect Cao Xiuyan to run to her house in the first lunar month, just for a Valentine's Day.
Shocked, but moved.
Not everyone has the courage to go crazy for you once, and the person who is crazy for you happens to be the one you like.
"You, you...... How do you know where my house is? Why are you running here for the Chinese New Year! You're scared me to death......" Luo Jie said incoherently.
"The guidance of the heart," Cao Xiuyan smiled and said, "I'll wait for you at the gate of your community." Come down, and I'll take you to dinner. ”
Luo Jie blinked, and said stiffly: "If you tell me to go down, I'll go down." ”
Cao Xiuyan took a breath of cold air, shook his body, and even shook the screen a few times, and said, "It's okay if you don't come down." Anyway, I'm here to look for you, and if you don't come down, I'll wait at the gate of your community until I go home tomorrow. ”
Luo Jie was no longer stubborn, and pouted: "Cao Xiuyan, you are a scoundrel...... You wait for me, I'll change my clothes and go down. ”
Cao Xiuyan bowed his hand and said, "I'll wait for you." see you~”
With that, he hung up the video call.
Standing at the door of Luo Jie's community, Cao Xiuyan sniffled and smiled.
It's useless to have a hard mouth, no matter how hard the mouth is, I can pry it open and then plug it again.
He also calculated that Luo Jie would not say this without coming down, otherwise he would not have said such things.
Besides, he wouldn't be stupid to stand still and wait for Luo Jie all night.
The most terrible thing in this world is to only move yourself.
If you leave early, you can catch the bus to Hwaseong.
Cao Xiuyan took a breath of hot air to warm his hands and rubbed them again.
It's cold.
Not long after, Luo Jie came out.
Wearing a white down jacket and stepping on a pair of boots, he trotted over from the community.
Xu saw Cao Xiuyan's figure, her pace slowed down a little, pretending to be unhurried, put her hands in her pockets, and walked over staggeringly.
Cao Xiuyan watched her approach, looked at her complicated expression, and couldn't help laughing.
Obviously, the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden, but he still pouted and showed a reluctant look, and he wanted to laugh and endure it when he looked at him.
Woman, your name is Twist.
Luo Jie walked out of the community, walked to Cao Xiuyan's side, pretended to be fierce, and said, "Why are you here, you don't need to pay New Year's greetings? And how did you find my house? I didn't tell you where my house is, did I?"
It's just that she speaks with a little milk voice, so the fierceness at the moment looks a little cute.
Cao Xiuyan said: "Didn't you say it, the guidance of the heart." Let's go, don't stand here, it's cold. I'll take you to dinner. ”
As he spoke, he took Luo Jie's hand.
Luo Jie broke free and warned, "Don't touch it." ”
But he still followed Cao Xiuyan.
"Why do you remember to run to Hangzhou today?"
"Tomorrow Valentine's Day, come and accompany you in advance. ”
"The devil believes in you...... I want to eat hot pot!"
"Okay, let's go!"
......
Haidilao.
The hot pot is bubbling hot.
Luo Jie ate quietly and did not speak.
Cao Xiuyan only gave her a chopstick from time to time, and did not speak.
After a while, Luo Jie stopped her chopsticks and said, "I have something to say to you." ”
Cao Xiuyan put down his chopsticks and said, "Well, you can say it." ”
"Actually, I've always felt that our relationship was a bit out of place. Maybe it's that movie, maybe it's unconsciously...... It's scary. So I'm wondering if I should get to know you again. Get to know you in a whole new posture. ”
New Posture ......
What posture?
Cao Xiuyan pouted.
"I don't want to worry about you and Chi Qian's affairs. If you and Chi Qian are together, I will only say congratulations, and then turn around and leave. I just want to change my perspective and get to know you a little bit more. It's true that I like you, but I don't just like you. I just wanted to get to know you one more time and see. Look at you from another angle, will you continue to like you. Re-introduction, I, Luo Jie. ”
Luo Jie said very formally, but Cao Xiuyan didn't take it to heart.
Nothing more than ...... I just don't want to let go.
If you act like this in a TV series, you generally can't escape.
Cao Xiuyan stretched out his hand, shook her hand, and said, "Cao Xiuyan, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
After saying that, I laughed.
It's kind of interesting.
Luo Jie also smiled, but she still held back her smile and said seriously: "I've eaten." ”
Cao Xiuyan nodded again and again.
Alas, it's too wrenched.
"By the way, when are you leaving?" Luo Jie said.
Cao Xiuyan said: "Tomorrow morning." ”
Luo Jie snorted and said, "You also said that you will accompany me for Valentine's Day and leave on the morning of Valentine's Day?" ”
I knew you would say that.
Pretending to be helpless, Cao Xiuyan took out his mobile phone and showed it to Luo Jie.
Luo Jie glanced at the conversation record, it was Cao Xiuyan's mother and Cao Xiuyan.
"Oh...... You're really up to something. Luo Jie showed an embarrassed expression.
"Do you need to show you the record of the train ticket again?" Cao Xiuyan said angrily.
Luo Jie lowered her head and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry...... No need. ”
I'm glad you said no, otherwise I'd be ......
Yes.
Of course, Cao Xiuyan will prepare this kind of thing, and after reading it, just refund the ticket, although it will lose part of the handling fee, but ......
Insurance.
"Then you're ...... tonight Would you like to stay here for one night?" Luo Jie said.
Cao Xiuyan nodded and said, "Well, I booked a hotel, not far from your home." ”
Luo Jie nodded, oh, and said:
"Then let's go around later, and then I'll have to go home." By eleven o'clock at the latest, I had to go. ”
Cao Xiuyan complained in his heart that at this time, how could I let you just go back like this......
He nodded quietly and said, "Well, I'll take you home later, and then go back to the hotel by yourself." ”
Luo Jie nodded.
After eating for a while, both of them had eaten about the same.
Just as he was about to leave, Cao Xiuyan stood up and "accidentally" knocked over the boiled water that had just been poured on the table......
The pants were wet in a big piece.
Luo Jie hurriedly walked over and said, "Are you okay?"
Cao Xiuyan nodded and said, "Well, bring it." I usually bring a spare one with me when I go out, and it's okay. I just have to go back to slow down, you can accompany me back to the hotel first. ”
Luo Jie nodded and said, "Well, okay." I'm going right away, my pants are wet, how uncomfortable. ”
Cao Xiuyan nodded and smiled lightly where Luo Jie couldn't see.
Isn't this just a hotel walk?
