Chapter 151: Under the Wisteria Flower
This day's chance encounter, of course, did not stop at the small bridge in front of the rockery.
Next, Zhuo Qun wanted to talk more with Bei Lu, so he invited her to the tea room in the wisteria garden east of the museum to drink tea.
Maybe it's because I've eaten chestnuts and I'm already feeling sweet and thirsty.
Perhaps it was a chance encounter that gave Bei Lu a sense of fate.
Or perhaps under the mysterious time sense, Bei Lu, who has loved Zhuo Qun in the past and in the future, is naturally easy to have a good impression of Zhuo Qun.
Bei Lu didn't think much about it at all, and happily accepted the invitation.
So next, under the branches grafted with Wen Zhengming's hand-planted vines, they sat together on the rattan chairs of the open-air cafΓ©.
At this time, wisteria flowers only have buds, and it is not yet time to be in full bloom.
Although this is a bit regrettable, the good thing is that the place is much cleaner, and there are not too many people to disturb it.
And it won't be smoked by too strong aromas.
It's very interesting, it's just like how Zhuo Qun and Bei Lu get along at this moment.
Because although Zhuo Qun knew that the young girl in front of him could not discuss with him about rebirth and reincarnation, they did not have a spiritual and emotional echo.
But Beilu's innocence and youthfulness still make him feel relaxed and close.
Of course, he also wanted to know more about what seventeen-year-old Beilu looked like and what was going on in her head.
This curiosity stems from the depths of emotion, like a husband who wants to see his wife's past photos and diaries.
A waiter handed over the drink list at the right time.
Zhuo Qun didn't let Beilu do it at all, so he ordered a latte and tiramisu cake for her.
He himself asked for a pot of Biluo Chunxin tea.
It's not because he's macho and domineering, it's because he fully understands Beilu's preferences.
In addition, I am afraid that she will see the price list and generate unnecessary psychological pressure.
Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with that.
Bellu, who was still a first-time latte, liked the taste very much, and was very satisfied with the tiramisu cake.
But at the same time, I kind of mind the price.
"I'll ask for another spoon, and you can try it too. β
"No, I'll just drink tea. This cake is all yours. β
"This one was especially delicious. Why don't you get yourself a piece? Isn't it expensive?"
"No, no, it's not because of the price, it's because I'm an adult. I'm not as interested in this sweet tooth as you are. β
"Are you making fun of me? Treat me like a child?"
Belle blushed and the spoon stopped.
Zhuo Qun was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.
"No, don't be careful, I respect you very, very much. I'm just stating the facts. β
"Of course, not all adults don't have a sweet tooth. There may also be reasons for regional eating habits. People like you here almost always like sweet, soft and light. I'm a northerner, and I have a strong taste and a preference for salty and spicy, which makes a big difference. β
"Like your Gusu's sugar porridge, wine-stuffed balls, chicken head rice soup, and even squirrel mandarin fish, I also like to eat them. But every time you taste it, you can taste it lightly, and if you eat too much, you will get tired. β
"On the other hand, if I dip vegetables in the miso and eat them in a pot. If you want to see my food, then you can be dumbfounded. But if you want to take a bite, you might be able to get miso sauce. Are you right?"
Bei Lu thought about it and felt that this was the truth.
So he smiled happily and ate again.
Zhuo Qun took the opportunity to change the subject.
"Oh, we might as well talk about you. Why the hell are you here alone today? Aren't you very strict at home? I really thought your parents were right next to you, or at least there was a female classmate with you......
Beautiful girls seem to be born with the ability to hang their appetites.
Bei Lu blinked, and said mischievously, "Haha, I thought you knew everything about me." Guess what......"
Zhuo Qun shook his head helplessly.
"Please, I'm not a god, how can I be omniscient? Don't you still believe me, today is just a pure coincidence?"
"Okay, for the sake of our fate, you invited me to eat again, let me know. β
Beilu smiled lightly, and finally stopped playing dumb riddles.
"Actually...... today Mainly because I was going to write an essay about traditional culture. It's going to be handed in tomorrow, but I'm the only one in the class who is still worried. That's why I'm here......."
"Got it, collecting materials, right?"
"Hmmm......"
"What specific topic? Maybe I can analyze it for you? It's not that I brag about it, I'm good at writing articles. β
"Hey, isn't that it...... Traditional culture has a long history and something ......"
When it comes to serious study, Bei Lu showed a restless look for the first time, and her mood was obviously low.
She stared at the table, lowered her head and took a sip of her coffee, and then she was speechless.
Zhuo Qun became serious.
"Any specific requirements?"
Beilu was still vague.
"Well, it's actually because I didn't ask for it that I ......"
But at this point, Zhuo Qun has already heard that it is actually a problem of lack of inspiration.
He decided to give it another idea, or else he had to change the subject, so as not to disgust Beilu.
"This topic is very broad, but it is difficult to write because it is broad, and Gusu is a place with extremely rich traditional culture. I believe that many people will start with the tall things such as poetry and songs, calligraphy and painting, ceramics, four treasures of study, and even ancient buildings. β
However, for high school students, the accumulation of relevant knowledge is a bit thin, which is difficult to write and difficult to connect with real life. "I suggest you change the angle, start with small and big, and start with familiar and interesting little things around you. For example, Spring Festival couplets, paper-cutting, snacks, etiquette and politeness, and even legends like "The Legend of the White Snake" ......"
Not to mention, Zhuo Qun is worthy of being the master who deals with words all day long, and he easily points to the core know-how in a few words.
Bei Lu's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that her thoughts had been greatly inspired.
So then, she not only became interested in in-depth discussion of composition, but also began to ask everything about Zhuoqun.
"Ah...... You can do it. You're a college student, right? What major do you study, and what university do you study at in Gusu?"
"Haha, I've graduated. I graduated from the People's University of Beijing, majoring in journalism. β
"No wonder. Are you a journalist now? Do you work in a newspaper or a television station in Gusu?"
"I was a journalist for a while and I had a press card, but now I'm quitting. Because I don't feel like I need a leader to control me anymore. β
"That's cool. What if you need money? Can you find a new job right away?"
"I don't have to worry about the economy. To tell you the truth, I bought a lottery ticket when I was in the capital and won the grand prize. β
As soon as she said this, Beilu swallowed her coffee hard, as if she was almost choked.
"Really?"
Zhuo Qun took a sip of tea, nodded, and confirmed again.
"Really, probably a few million. If you don't believe me, we can find an ATM and I'll show you the balance. β
"Ahh I want to have so much money that I can't spend it in my lifetime. How are you going to spend it?"
Facing Bei Lu's surprised expression, Zhuo Qun really wanted to laugh, but he was afraid that she would be embarrassed.
So he coughed and said very seriously.
"To tell you the truth, I don't think it's a lot of money either, I gave some to my parents. The rest, after buying a house and a car, may be gone, and there are still many places in life where money is needed. And you can't just count on good luck, right? You always need to work hard, you need to do something meaningful. So after I take a break for a while, I will probably make some investments, or start a business, and find something that interests me. β
Bei Lu was even more heartfelt.
"Wow, that's not satisfying, you're still going to be the big boss, it doesn't sound like we're a class. β
"That's not right. At your age, you don't need to think about these worldly things. You'll understand when you grow up. In fact, you are very good, and you are born to live a wonderful life and be envied by everyone. I promise, you don't have to worry about anything. You can definitely live a very good life in the future. β
"I'm excellent? You mean my face? I'm just a little confident about this. My classmates all said that I should study acting and become a star. But my dad didn't want me to go this way, he said that the entertainment industry was not good and would ruin girls. And I'm afraid of being looked down upon ......."
Zhuo Qun could see that Bei Lu's troubles were from the heart, and she was asking herself for advice.
So I thought about it and said seriously.
"There is some truth in your father's words, the entertainment industry is indeed not a good place, and you should take his words to heart. β
"But I also have to say that you can't hide your beauty from you. No matter what you do, the people around you won't turn a blind eye. β
"So you keep your head down, it's not the way. On the contrary, you need to get used to it, and you need to know how to discern. Because for the rest of your life, there will be many people who will stare at you intently, attracted by your beauty, and even pursue you. You should become braver and stronger inside. β
"In short, the key to everything is still up to you, I think you are a very smart girl, as long as you contact with others, think about the other person's purpose first. Think more about your father's words, and you'll know what to do......"
It must be said that Zhuo Qun is completely from Bei Lu's standpoint.
But it's a pity that he put himself too into the role, but instead became a cocoon and bound himself.
Because Belo immediately laughed.
"You're such an interesting man, and if you say so, what is your purpose in approaching me? Should I believe you?"
Zhuo Qun was immediately speechless, and was stunned for a long time before replying.
"I ...... Of course, I have a purpose...... I don't deny that. And it's because of the way I approached you, a little too presumptuous. I'm afraid you'll feel uneasy and panicked, so I won't dare to bother you any longer. As for the purpose, it's simple. I...... I...... Waiting for you to grow up. β
"When I grow up?"
Belle is smart.
She only glanced at Zhuo Qun, and then bowed her head with a blushing face.
seems to understand what Zhuo Qun means.
But this made Zhuo Qun feel a great sense of guilt.
Faced with the emotion of a seventeen-year-old girl, he didn't know how to react.
Because he can't really say what he really thinks.
"Little girl, don't get me wrong, I'm just waiting for another mature you to replace the current you. β
Pleasant times always pass quickly, and the afternoon of the day passes before you know it.
Zhuo Qun and Bei Lu had to say goodbye at the gate of the Gusu Museum.
Because it can't go far to Beilu's home.
If Zhuo Qun went to see Bei Lu, it would be easy for Bei Lu's neighbors to see him.
Bei Lu stood a meter away from Zhuo Qun, her little face facing the last touch of orange in the western sky.
It looks a little sad, but it's obvious that it's a little reluctant.
"Thank you, I had a great afternoon. But I really have to go now. β
"I know, of course you can't worry your family. Do you know how to write an essay? If you have any questions, you are always welcome to call me. β
"Well, good. I'll keep your phone number. β
"Great. β
"But I seem to have forgotten your name, your name is ......"
"My name is Zhuo Qun. β
"Well, goodbye, Zhuoqun. β
"Goodbye. β
There seems to be nothing more to say at this point.
Belle turned around and walked down the trail to the intersection of the road.
Predictably, she will soon wait at the traffic light, then walk along the sidewalk into the alleyway that leads to her home.
And Zhuo Qun, after witnessing Bei Lu's figure disappear completely, should go find his bicycle and ride back to his Nanfang Hotel.
But it seemed to sense that Zhuo Qun was not leaving, and when Bei Lu was about to reach the intersection, he suddenly glanced back at him.
Then he lowered his head and walked a few more steps, and suddenly, as if he had made a decision, he ran back.
There was obvious excitement and nervousness in her expression.
Seeing that Zhuo Qun was full of confusion, he blushed and explained.
"I ...... Will be back next Sunday, again at this time...... I love chatting with you, if you have time...... If you have time......"
Zhuo Qun, don't you understand?
He didn't hesitate to make assurances.
"I'll come. I also enjoy chatting with you. β
And just like that, from that day on, everything was different.
Although Zhuo Qun remembered how he had come into contact with Beilu, the whole strange process made him want to laugh.
The relationship between them is also very complex, and I am afraid it is difficult to give a correct definition.
But he had to admit that being able to meet and chat with this seventeen-year-old girl from time to time completely alleviated his longing and anxiety about that mature Bellu.
Although Bei Lu is at this age, her temperament is not stable and very elusive.
Sometimes naΓ―ve, sometimes mature and generous.
But she believes in the power of love and dreams, and has an instinctive aggressiveness towards life.
Very easily, Zhuo Qun felt a kind of youthful beauty, so he was also infected with spirits, optimistic and happy.
Such feelings are addictive and addictive.
So even if you know that you really shouldn't, you are doing the most taboo thing for all fathers in the world.
Even if he knew that once this matter was exposed, it would have a great negative impact on Bei Lu's life.
Even though he knew very well that now was the time when Bei Lu's studies needed the most concentration.
Zhuo Qun couldn't stop.
Now, in addition to thinking about it a little more, he tries his best to keep it secret.
That is, I am counting on Beilu's other personality to wake up soon
