CHAPTER XXV
At night, Ji Xinliang was squeezed into her single bed by Lou Lihe.
Half of Lou Lihe's body was leaning on Ji Xinliang's arms.
In the middle of the night, Ji Xinliang woke up, he found that Lou Lihe in his arms had been struggling, and hurriedly turned on the bedside lamp, only to see Lou Lihe sweating profusely, most of his pajamas were wet, his eyes were closed, his mouth seemed to be moaning, and he seemed to be babbling something.
"Lihe, Lihe!" Ji Xinliang hurriedly shook Lou Lihe.
Lou Lihe slowly opened his eyes, his eyes empty and confused.
"Lihe, are you having a nightmare?" Ji Xinliang rubbed Lou Lihe's cheeks, making her come back to her senses quickly.
"New Cool..."
As soon as Lou Lihe's voice came out, Ji Xinliang was startled, because the voice was extremely hoarse, as if it had been polished in the desolate years.
"Wake up, I'll pour you a glass of water. ”
As he spoke, Ji Xinliang turned over and got out of bed, and when he returned to Lou Lihe's side after a glass of water, she had already recovered and half sat at the head of the bed.
"Drink water," Ji Xinliang handed the cup to Lou Li and his lips, watched her drink two sips before putting it aside, "What kind of dream did you dream about being scared like this?"
Lou Lihe shook his head: "I don't remember..."
When Ji Xinliang heard this, he smiled and said, "Fool, why are you still like a child, scared by nightmares like this?"
Ji Xinliang wanted to tease Lou Li and relieve her emotions, but he didn't expect Lou Lihe's face to be pale, and he clutched his hand tightly and didn't let go.
Ji Xinliang hurriedly pulled her into his arms to comfort her, "It's okay, it's not true, it's all a dream..."
"Xinliang, I'm worried, I've been dreaming more and more recently, I'm afraid that my hypnosis may be invalid, what should I do..."
In Lou Lihe's voice, there was fear and worry that was difficult to hide.
"Why do you say that?"
"It's a hunch," Lou Li said.
"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine. ”
Lou Lihe has an inexplicable sadness in his heart: they will all have something...
···
The next day, Ji Xinliang accompanied Lou Lihe to go shopping and relax.
Surrounded by middle-aged and elderly neighbors, they were very enthusiastic when they saw each other at first, but when they knew that this was Lou Lihe, everyone's expressions became a little disgusted, and their attitudes were a little cold, Ji Xinliang was very strange, but Lou Lihe seemed to be used to it.
"You didn't seem to be very liked when you were a child?" asked Ji Xinliang.
Lou Lihe said with a smile: "When I was a child, I was a well-known little bully on this street, making trouble everywhere, it's strange that they can like me." But fortunately, my dad is a notoriously good man, so he escaped over and over again. Otherwise, a beating every day would be enough for me. ”
"You were naughty when you were a kid? Why? I can't see it at all now. Ji Xinliang's face was full of novelty.
"When I was a child, I smoked early, looked flat like a little boy, and liked to bully other people's children. It was only later in high school that I grew my hair. ”
"I'd love to see you shaved your head. Ji Xinliang imagined for a moment, Lou Lihe is very beautiful, even if he is flat-headed, at least he looks like a handsome teenager.
"You can't see it, I never take pictures. Lou Lihe said with a smile, "At that time, my nose and face were swollen when I was fine, and I didn't look good." ”
"It's good that it's not broken, otherwise you have a flaw on your beautiful face, what a pity..."
"Wow, it's so novel, I feel flattered to be told by a handsome person like you that it looks good!" Lou Li kissed Ji Xinliang's shoulder, and was about to say something when he heard the oncoming person, and shouted to himself in disbelief: "Lou Lihe?"
"Huh?" Lou Lihe turned his head to look, "Gu Yu?"
Juanyu?Ji Xinliang's ears instantly pricked up, and he saw a man and a woman approaching on the opposite side.
The man is slightly lower than himself, but he looks handsome, with a bookish air, and the woman is petite, with light eyebrows and fine eyes, and she is quite beautiful, but a mole at the corner of her mouth looks a little artificial.
When Ji Xinliang looked at each other, the two had already walked to the front, compared to each other's caution, Lou Lihe seemed happier, she was very happy to see her classmates back then, especially Juan Yu.
"Why are you here? When did you return to China?" Lou Lihe's happiness was limited to the curvature of the corners of her mouth, and there was no intimate movement, although she has been a lot more lively recently, it was only because the other party was Ji Xinliang.
Ji Xinliang found that Gu Yu's complexion seemed to be changing all the time: hesitation, temptation, and disbelief.
It seems that Lou Lihe is regarded as a rival in love?
Juan Yu took a step forward and gently hugged Lou Lihe, then let go of her, took a step back, and said happily, "Long time no see, Lihe, this time Gu Yu and I came back to participate in this year's freshman exchange meeting, in the new campus, today is to take a walk in the old campus." ”
"Exchange meeting?" Lou Lihe was stunned, she didn't receive the invitation, it stands to reason that she was the only one who was admitted to Lingbei back then, she should have been grandly invited...
"Your invitation is with me, and you used to leave my parents' contact information, so the invitation was sent to me. When you go to college, you cut off contact with everybody, and no one contacts you, so you don't know. Saying that, Juan Yu took out a light blue invitation card from the bag he was traveling with, "I'm still wondering if I can see you, I've been carrying it, but I didn't expect to really meet you." ”
Lou Lihe took the invitation and thanked Juan Yuzu without looking at it.
Gu Yu began to notice Lou Lihe and Ji Xinliang, who was wearing a mask beside him, "Lihe, what is this?"
"My husband. Lou Li and Luo Luo generously introduced.
Juan Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he and Gu Yu glanced at each other, both noticing the shock in each other's eyes, no one expected that Lou Lihe would be able to get out of the haze after experiencing so much grief.
"Congratulations," Juan Yu said to the two of them sincerely. Ji Xinliang saw a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
Gratitude, gratitude, what? What a strange emotion.
Juan Yu invited the two to go to the old campus together, and at this time, Lou Lihe remembered that it had been circled as a filming base, so he said: "I'm afraid it's impossible this month, it's sealed up over there." ”
"Sealed up, is it going to be removed?"
"No, it's rented out as a filming base. Ji Xinliang explained.
As he was talking, Gu Yu suddenly covered his mouth in surprise: "You won't be Ji Xinliang, right?
"I'm Ji Xinliang, and I'm also an actor, but I don't know if I'm famous or not. In front of Lou Lihe's friends, Ji Xinliang became much more modest, which made Lou Lihe remember that he didn't know who said that he would cause a traffic jam as long as he stood on Lingbei Street for 10 seconds, Lou Lihe couldn't help but stab Ji Xinliang's waist with his arm, and glanced at him narrowly between beautiful eyes: Sample, hypocrisy!
Ji Xinliang couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, his modesty was just because this was her friend.
Juan Yu and Gu Yu saw the small movements of the two in their eyes, and they knew in their hearts that Lou Lihe had really fallen in love.
Gu Yu said: "It's rare for us to meet, so let's find a place to eat together." ”
Lou Lihe looked at Ji Xinliang and got his nod, and then said to Gu Yu: "Okay, let's talk." ”
"Why don't we go to the one we liked the most? Gu Yu said.
The old place... Lou Lihe asked, "That barbecue stall is still open?"
"No, business is on fire. On the way to the new campus, I finished eating and went to the alumni association of the new campus. Gu Yu stretched out his hand to hold Lou Lihe, but Lou Lihe reflexively dodged without a trace, and only stretched out his hand to hook Gu Yu's arm, "Okay, that's just right." I managed to get the invitation. ”
Lou Lihe's movements, Juan Yu didn't notice it, but Ji Xinliang and Gu Yu could feel the difference between her intimacy and intimacy.
···
Ah Si barbecue restaurant.
The roadside stall in the past now has a big face, the boss is still the one when he was a child, and when he saw Lou Lihe, he was surprised to bite the big toothpick in his mouth, "Lihe?"
"Fourth uncle, you are still so eccentric, every time you come, you only see Lihe. Gu Yu said with a smile.
"What are you talking about, silly girl, I didn't see any of you coming," the fourth uncle pointed at them one by one and said, "Isn't this a grapefruit, Gu Yu... Huh, who is this?"
The fourth uncle was a little surprised when he saw Ji Xinliang, none of these children he didn't know back then.
"Fourth uncle, this is my husband. Lou Lihe said with a smile.
"Husband?" the fourth uncle laughed, "We are still like when we were children, we like good-looking things!"
Lou Lihe thought that the fourth uncle was alluding to Juan Yu, and also smiled: "I'm better looking better than before, right?"
"All good-looking! are all handsome guys, it's just this younger, your vision is getting better and better. The fourth uncle said narrowly.
Lou Lihe smiled.
Ji Xinliang knew very well that this fourth uncle had seen Ming Ke, or that the relationship between Lou Li and Ming Ke back then was probably well known even if it was not full of wind and rain in the city.
The fourth uncle didn't see each other, and it was rare for these children to come back, and he was willing to chat with them, especially Lou Lihe.
The five of them sat down around the table, and Lou Lihe saw that there was only beer on the table, and he was worried that Ji Xinliang's night play would be affected, so he got up to get juice for him outside.
After she left, the fourth uncle poured a can of beer and began to praise Lou Lihe with Ji Xinliang, "Boy, you have to treat us well, she has a flamboyant personality and is a little sun, but ah, this child is also very psychologically bitter, very bitter and bitter, so ah, you have to take out a hundred times the tenderness and love her to others, with her heart, she will definitely repay you a thousand times." ”
Little Sun··· It turns out that Lou Lihe was very lively when he was a child?
Ji Xinliang was very sorry in his heart, he wanted to see Lou Lihe when he was a teenager.
"She told me that she was naughty when she was a child. ”
"Naughty and mischievous? I didn't say she wasn't naughty, she didn't lie, and no one on the whole street could compare to her. The fourth uncle laughed.
At this time, Lou Lihe opened the curtain and came in, put a large bottle of juice in front of Ji Xinliang, and sat beside him.
"What are you doing, fourth uncle, are you telling my husband about my black material!"
"Do you still need me to talk about your black material? Who can't say your hundred articles on the old street? Which parent doesn't use you as a negative to educate their children?" The fourth uncle smiled while swallowing melon seeds, "Don't worry, I think your husband is very good..." As he spoke, he leaned into Lou Lihe's ear and whispered, "It's better than the one back then." ”
At this time, Lou Lihe completely understood that the fourth uncle was not referring to Juan Yu, but Ming Ke.
But in front of Ji Xinliang, she didn't want to talk about Ming Ke, so she urged the fourth uncle to get a barbecue.
The fourth uncle lifted the door curtain, "The little rabbit cub with his elbow turned out..."
···
Returning to the four people at the dinner table, Juan Yu asked after carefully observing Lou Lihe, "Are you okay all these years?"
Lou Lihe smiled, she glanced at Ji Xinliang with her eyes, and said to Juan Yu, "I'm fine." ”
"I used to hear you say that you were very good, but now I listen to you like a world away. Juan Yuzu curled the corners of her mouth.
"That's because we haven't seen each other for a long time. Lou Lihe asked, "Have you been abroad all these years?"
"Well, Gu Yu and I have always worked in foreign banks. ”
"Juan Yu, let's have a family with children!" Lou Lihe didn't know which tendon was wrong, and suddenly spoke.
The three people at the table were all stunned, but Ji Xinliang was surprised and a little happy.
Gu Yu asked in a daze, "Lihe, are you pregnant?"
"No, no, isn't this a sudden whim?" Lou Lihe squinted, "But... I think it's going to be soon..."
Juan Yu looked at Lou Lihe like this and said, "Lihe, it's good to see what you look like now." ”
Back then, Lou Lihe was a little bully in the old street, with a flat head and a group of boys, everyone said that she had mental problems, because someone saw her go to the hospital to buy psychiatric medicine, and later this person was beaten by her and half disabled, and no one dared to say these words in front of her, but the gossip behind her was always constant, and at that time, only herself and Gu Yu were by her side in school.
She is like a thorny flower, covered in thorns, and no one dares to mess with her.
Later, when the man appeared, everyone realized that, ah, it turns out that the beauty of the thorn flower is not inferior to the rose.
At that time, he realized that a girl would stab others sharply because there was no tolerance of the scabbard, and when there was a man who was willing to carefully care for her companionship and let her rely on, she would become a different person.
This season, Xinliang should have spent a lot of thought and gentle care to make Lou Lihe turn into a finger twister.
Thinking of this, Juan Yuzu glanced at Ji Xinliang a few more times, and Lou Lihe saw it, and immediately became unhappy: "Yuzu, what do you think my man is doing?"
Hearing this, Juan Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Your possessiveness hasn't changed at all over the years, and it's getting more and more powerful." ”
Lou Lihe said: "It's because I like him." ”
It's not the first time I've heard Lou Lihe confess to herself, Ji Xinliang still can't control her heartbeat, it's really hard to imagine that this woman who frankly says she loves herself, she still loves to ignore herself when she sees herself a few months ago.
···
In the evening, several people took a car to the new campus to participate in the exchange meeting, but unfortunately Ji Xinliang had a night play and couldn't come.
The area of the new campus is almost four or five times that of the old campus, and Lou Lihe looked at the bright lights on the central square, and sighed in his heart that the world is always changing with each passing day.
Gu Yu pulled Lou Lihe's sleeve, "Lihe, I'll give you a vaccination, and there will be a person you hate the most when he comes back, don't quarrel with others." ”
Lou Lihe raised her eyebrows, "You mean Lu Huan?"
Gu Yu nodded, "Well, she's mixing well now, but she's still as annoying as before." ”
Lou Lihe was reluctant to say too much after leaving Ji Xinliang, even in front of her young friends, so she didn't have any comments on Gu Yu's words.
Lu Huan, in high school, did oppose herself everywhere, but in Lou Lihe's opinion, it was just a competition between children, at that time she was on par with Juan Yu, but Lu Huan had been trampled underfoot, she was naturally unwilling, and she was compared to her own kind of goods, she was even more angry, of course, she was against herself everywhere.
In the final analysis, bullying a person who everyone shouts at is a matter of course and peace of mind.
The inferiority of people, Lou Lihe's heart knows better than anyone else.
She's used to it.
But... Lu Huan is different from them.
