Chapter 82: Belated Love

Zhou Jie didn't expect Lin Qiang to really send flowers to herself!

Once when the two were chatting on MSN, Lin Qiang downloaded an emoticon of a rose from there, Zhou Jie saw the delicate rose, and sent him an exclamation expression, Lin Qiang typed the line: Do you like it?

Zhou Jie didn't want to reply at the time: Of course I like it, roses are very good for my clothes today.

Lin Qiang immediately said: I like it, I have the opportunity to send you a big bunch of real roses, okay?

At the same time, he gave her a big smile back.

Zhou Jie only thought that Lin Qiang was joking casually, and didn't take it to heart, but as soon as she walked out of the station, she saw Lin Qiang holding a big bright rose, Zhuo Ran Jun stood at the exit gate, smiling and waving to herself!

Lin Qiang, who has not been seen for many years, has not changed much, but he must be strong and mature when he is studying, with black trousers and a white short-sleeved shirt, and a small haircut, and the whole person looks refreshed.

Zhou Jieqiao's face immediately turned red, her steps slowed down slightly, and she subconsciously stroked her hair that was not messy, and smiled shyly at Lin Qiang.

"For you. Before Lin Qiang walked quickly, he handed the roses to Zhou Jie and took her duffel bag.

"Thank you. Zhou Jie was really embarrassed to be offered flowers in front of the public, and when she saw that the tourists around her were staring at them, she fled the scene with Lin Qiang lightly.

The two came to sit down in the box of a nearby Western restaurant, Zhou Jie's rapidly beating heart calmed down a little, and when she saw Lin Qiang looking at herself with a smile on his face, she whispered angrily: "Ah Qiang, I didn't expect you to be so old-fashioned and embarrassed." ”

"I didn't have a chance to send it before, no, I should say that I didn't have the courage to send it before, but this time I'll make up for it when I give it a chance. Lin Qiang smiled and said, "Do you like it?"

Zhou Jie nodded shyly, "I like it!" Thank you." The flowers are beautiful. ”

"People are more beautiful. Lin Qiang looked at her and said.

"When did you become oily?" Zhou Jie glanced at Lin Qiang, "It seems that you are a veteran of sending flowers, be honest, you must have sent flowers to little girls in normal times, right?"

"The conscience of heaven and earth has grown so big, this is the first time I have sent flowers to people. Lin Qiang hurriedly argued.

"It's strange to believe you. Zhou Jie avoided Lin Qiang's burning gaze, lowered her head and sniffed the fragrance of flowers, and saw that there was an empty vase on the table, so she inserted the roses into it.

"Jie, if I had the courage to send you flowers before, would you accept it?" Lin Qiang saw Zhou Jie's shy appearance, and suddenly plucked up his courage and stretched out his hand to hold her Rouyi.

Zhou Jie's body trembled slightly, her pretty face turned red, and she unconsciously looked around, although she was in the box, she was still worried about being seen, her heart was beating wildly, and she didn't know how to answer.

Lin Qiang smiled, patted her hand lightly and let go, he didn't want her to be too embarrassed, he took the recipe and flipped it up, changed the topic and said, "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever, you can do it for me. Zhou Jie's mood suddenly calmed down.

glanced at Lin Qiang, who was concentrating on flipping through the recipes, and was still thinking in his heart, if this guy really had the courage to send flowers to himself before, would he be very happy to accept it?

She remembered that during the winter vacation of her first year of college, when Lin Qiang came to Huagong to look for her, he actually behaved quite bravely. She remembered that when she was climbing the 100-step ladder of Huagong, Lin Qiang thought about holding her hand, but she didn't give him a positive response at that time. Lin Qiang also boldly invited her to eat at his parents' stall, and he also found an excuse to push it off because he was not mentally prepared.

Since that time, Lin Qiang seems to have never been brave in front of her, perhaps it was because he was too reserved at that time that Lin Qiang became cowardly and restrained in front of her, especially after experiencing his first rash and casual refusal, Lin Qiang no longer dared to show his heart to her easily, and finally made the two regretfully pass by and miss each other.

Looking at Lin Qiang, who was more handsome in front of her, Zhou Jie sighed in frustration, perhaps, this is really fate!

The two had eaten Western food, and Zhou Jie left the roses in the Western restaurant. Lin Qiang also understood that he couldn't show up in front of his classmates with roses. He also saw the flower shop at the gate of the station, and bought flowers on a whim, and at first he was worried that it would cause embarrassment to the two, but to his delight, Zhou Jie did not embarrass him, not only accepted the flowers, but also had obvious surprises in his eyes, which made Lin Qiang get a great spiritual comfort.

Guangzhou in July is the hot and humid season, but when Lin Qiang and them came out of the western restaurant, a storm suddenly hit without warning.

After the rain passed, Lin Qiang and the others came to the Haobafang Hotel in the Pearl River Building just after 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Qiang led Zhou Jie directly to the hotel front desk on the eighth floor, completed the check-in procedures, and made an appointment for the conference room.

Luo Ling helped him get four standard double rooms, and the only female classmates who came to Guangzhou from other places were Zhou Jie and the military commander, and the male classmates were related to the male and big-nosed guys, so they should be able to be arranged.

The conference room is next door to the front desk, Lin Qiang has already sent a notice to the class in advance, and the students who participated in the party will gather in the conference room at half past two o'clock, and those who arrive first can wait in the conference room, which is equipped with tea. The house is on the ninth floor, and the rooms that Lin Qiang wants to go to are the four rooms next to each other on the ninth floor.

After entering the room, the two suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little tense. After all, it's the first time I've been alone, and it's still in a place like a hotel room that can easily trigger reverie.

Zhou Jie stood quietly by the windowsill, her hands unconsciously fiddling with the dark purple curtains, not daring to turn back to look at Lin Qiang. When the two of them were walking on the road just now, in order to hide pedestrians and bicycles, Lin Qiang would hold her hand from time to time, although it would soon be released, but every time it would make her heart hit like a deer, and her face was red and her ears were hot.

Lin Qiang's heart was also uneven at this time.

He is no longer young, after years of experience, his thoughts and insights have matured a lot, but when he meets Zhou Jie again more than ten years later, he still can't be calm. Although it is not as restrained and cowardly as when he was young, he has not been able to completely let go after all. Seeing Zhou Jie's shy and restrained appearance, Lin Qiang secretly scolded himself, at this moment, he really wanted to show a man's anger.

He put Zhou Jie's luggage away, settled down, came to the windowsill, and called softly: "Jie." ”

Hearing Lin Qiang call her, Zhou Jie raised her head and saw him staring at her, her pretty face was red again, she didn't dare to look at him, she didn't know what Lin Qiang was going to say to herself next, she was nervous, and there was a vague expectation in her heart.

Zhou Jie's shy demeanor gave Lin Qiang great courage.

The biggest regret in his life is that when he was young, he couldn't muster up the courage to say "I love you" to her in front of her, which was an eternal pain buried in his heart!

Lin Qiang exhaled a long breath, took Zhou Jie's hands, and let her face to face with him. Zhou Jie trembled obviously, but she didn't break free, she looked up and met Lin Qiang's gaze bravely.

"Jie, I love you!!" Lin Qiang looked directly at Zhou Jie's beautiful eyes, and finally said this sentence that had been hidden in his heart for twenty years in front of her.

Lin Qiang didn't expect Zhou Jie's response, and was even mentally prepared to be reprimanded, he just didn't want to leave himself with lifelong regrets!
