Chapter 31: Virtual vs. Reality
Strictly speaking, Lu Tao should be regarded as having never been in real love. The relationship with Peng Ying is somewhat similar to the nature of netizens, and expressing feelings on letters and meeting reality are two completely different things.
So when he crossed the road and saw Peng Ying at the school guard booth, he was very worried.
After dozens of hours of travel, his whole person looked a little sloppy, and his mousse hair became a little greasy.
Originally, he wanted to find a hotel to take care of it first, but he thought about it for a while and gave up for the time being.
After all, this is reality, not on the Internet, not just on paper, although the first impression is important, but the two can be said to know each other better, if the real Peng Ying is really very different from the usual communication with him, he has nothing worth staying, and when the time comes, he will buy a ticket and go home directly.
Next to the sentry box, there are two girls standing, Peng Ying is wearing a pink cotton coat, her face is a little round, and she has a little baby fat, with a low ponytail, not high, and the whole person looks petite and cute.
Next to her, there was also a girl, wearing small black-framed glasses, a little thin, who saw Lu Tao coming from the opposite side, and was talking sideways to Peng Ying with a stupid smile.
I can't tell if it's the feeling of a blind date or what, Lu Tao felt a little up and down in his heart, and after he got closer, he greeted him with a gentle smile on his face.
"Hello. ”
Peng Ying's two eyes kept wandering over his face and body, and she was also looking at Lu Tao.
"Hello. ”
Don't look at the two of them have been chatting for so many years, when they meet at this time, they are a little embarrassed to each other, and at this time, the girl named Li Yan who came with them naturally took on the important task of enlivening the atmosphere.
"You are Lu Tao?"
For people who have no special relationship, Lu Tao did not have the slightest restraint, smiled, and nodded: "En." ”
"It's not a problem to stand at the door, let's go to the school, the scenery of our school is still good at this time. "Having such a light bulb next to it actually has benefits, at least it resolves the embarrassment of not knowing what to say when the two first meet.
Peng Ying walked on the rightmost right, holding Li Yan's arm with her left hand, the two whispered something, and occasionally looked at Lu Tao, but for a moment, her face turned red.
Lu Tao was chatting with Li Yan and answering her a bunch of messy questions about checking her household registration, while also secretly looking at Peng Ying.
Maybe it's because I always know the things in my past life, and I always feel that something is not right, but I have a feeling that I can't say.
It's not hate, it's not love, it's not the kind of joy that I regret in my heart for so many years, and I don't show special excitement, but it's a kind of bland and gentle.
I should be very excited, how can I really meet like this?
Lu Tao himself didn't understand.
"Handsome guy, our school is not bad. Li Yan's words pulled Lu Tao back from his doubts.
"Well, it's okay, it's beautiful. Lu Tao reported to the micro-school.
"That's it, by the mountains and rivers, the feng shui is good, and the beauty is outstanding. After finishing speaking, he covered his mouth and looked at Peng Ying, with some ridicule in his eyes.
Peng Ying glared at Li Yan, her face turned red, and she turned her head to Lu Tao and asked softly, "Do the clothes still fit?"
Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that what he was wearing was the knitted sweater that Peng Ying had sent.
"Yes. Lu Tao really hasn't talked to a girl like this, and he feels like a chick now.
In the winter campus, the road is covered with golden leaves, and the three of them walk slowly and chat.
Most of the time, Li Yan was asking, and Lu Tao was answering. may have saved a meaning to help Peng Ying check in it, and most of the topics asked were focused on the family.
Peng Ying's words were relatively few, and she would occasionally interject and say a few words, such as talking about her school, and then asking Lu Tao about some things in school and so on.
"Did you buy a ticket to go back?" asked Peng Ying as she was about to walk to the back door of the campus.
"Not yet. Lu Tao replied.
"Oh. ”
"We have an official holiday tomorrow. Peng Ying said again.
Lu Tao couldn't understand what she meant, whether she could play with herself for a few days after the holiday, or whether she was not satisfied with herself and planned to go home.
So, he had to be silent for a while, and then asked, "Do you want to go home?"
Peng Ying didn't look at him.
"This year, my parents came back from work, and I want to go home early. ”
"Oh. Lu Tao replied.
"Peng Ying, Lu Tao finally came so far away, you can accompany him to play in Wushi for a few days. Li Yan may have felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so she took Peng Ying's arm and gently tugged at it, and said.
It is said that women's minds are particularly difficult to guess, and Lu Tao really discovered it. Because he really doesn't know what the real Peng Ying thinks of him.
In the letter she gave herself, he could fully feel her heart, but after being biased, he was confused again.
Is this the difference between the Internet and reality?
Many people have a hot chat on the Internet, love and love, and once it comes to reality, it is like a stranger.
Even himself, at this time, was a little unsure whether he liked the Xia Yehan under Peng Ying's pseudonym, or the Peng Ying behind Xia Yehan.
Hearing Peng Ying say that he wanted to go home early, he didn't have any special feelings in his heart, no loss, no depression, and no dissatisfaction.
It seems that she can say this, which is a matter of course, and she has no intention of keeping it at all.
Peng Ying is not ugly, on the contrary, she is cute, but it gives him a very unreal feeling.
"Let's go eat first, and then find a hotel to stay for the night, it should be quite tiring after such a long car ride. Peng Ying said.
"Good. Lu Tao thought about things in his heart and couldn't help replying.
The three of them went directly to a small restaurant outside the campus and ordered a few stir-fried dishes. Li Yan may have the purpose of matching the two, and deliberately wanted the two to sit together.
"You do it over there, Peng Ying. ”
"I'll sit next to you. "The relationship between the two should be very good, smiling on the side.
Lu Tao smiled: "Just sit down." “
Talking about some innocuous topics, eating a meal very uncomfortably, according to the two of them were already very familiar before, plus they met for a while, it should be more cordial. But Lu Tao clearly felt that the relationship between the two seemed to be gradually moving in opposite directions.
Perhaps, what she loves is just the self who wrote the letter.
Feelings are very delicate, some people look at their looks, body and face, some people look at their hobbies, and some people look at their feelings.
The platonic love between the two made Lu Tao feel unforgettable after falling out of love, really like the saying 'what you can't get is the most beautiful', once you get it, after facing the firewood, rice, oil and salt of life, but it always drifts away.
