She walked to the nearest bus stop to her home as usual, took out the headphones she had brought with her in her bag, lit up soothing music, and waited quietly for the bus to arrive. This is a suburb of the city, there are not many people taking the bus, and because it is a Saturday morning, there is not even a person on the platform. After getting into the car, Liu Hotaru habitually picked the position of the third-to-last row by the right-hand window, which has been her preference for many years.

The sound of the bus starting was sharp and harsh, but fortunately, Liuying didn't really hear it, and the music from the headphones made her feel calm. Looking out the window, there are always many people in the suburbs who are invited to form a team for a morning run, old and young, male and female, motivating each other and spurring each other, which is also a kind of fun. When he was about to reach the second stop, Liuying saw the familiar shadow from a distance, and when the bus stopped, Liuying just looked at Lu Yu through the window, he smiled at her, and then got on the bus.

Liuying was stunned, she felt that this was an incredible scene, this kind of plot that would only appear on TV dramas was staged on her. It wasn't until Lu Yu sat down next to her that she realized that this was not a dream, nor was it a TV series, it really happened.

"You...... What?" she removed one of her earbuds and gestured to the platform outside.

"Do you see the row of brick houses in the distance? One of them is where my dad lives. Lu Yu said.

Liuying nodded, but she still didn't understand how they met? Lu Yu took off the earbud on her other ear, then took the earbud in her hand, folded it up and gave it to her and said, "It's not good for hearing if you use it too much, as long as you don't focus on the start and stop of the bus, it will automatically filter out that sound." ”

"How do you know?" Hotaru has a kind of uneasiness from the outside to the noise of too loud sounds, the sound of the roar of airplanes, the sound of buses tearing, the sound of horns, and she will fidget and be upset when she hears these sounds. This sound would be amplified several times over her senses.

Lu Yu looked at Liuying and said, "You have to believe that I know you well enough." ”

"Did you live here before?" Liu Ying was a little uncomfortable by Lu Yu, so she diverted the topic.

"Well, after graduating from high school, I moved out and lived on my own, and I would come back from college from time to time, but now there are fewer and fewer of them. ”

Liuying heard Chen Qin say something about Lu Zhen, she knew the fact of his mother's death, and also knew the entanglement between him and his stepmother, she thought, this may not be a good topic for chat, so she changed the topic: "What are we going to Guiye Courtyard for today?"

"The construction party has some problems with the drawings that need to be communicated face-to-face, and I thought I would solve them, but think about it, you may want to see your work from scratch. ”

"Yes. Thank you. ”

"Did I say I don't have to say thank you? Lu Yu said.

"I'm used to it. ”

"Firefly, you don't need to say thank you to me, because what I do is for myself, not for you. ”

Liuying didn't answer, just nodded, she looked out the window, the familiar street scene receded one by one, and she really didn't hear the shrill sound of the bus anymore.

"Look. I don't know how long it took, Lu Yu pointed to the newsstand next to the school outside the window and said, "This newsstand hasn't been demolished yet, I would buy a newspaper from them every morning in high school, and then enter the school." ”

"I also studied here in high school. ”

"I know. Lu Yu said, "You are two terms lower than me." ”

Hotaru's eyes widened and she said in surprise, "You know?"

"You seem weird, I'll know? I'm ...... Listen to what Xia Midou said. ”

Liuying remembered Xia Midou's gritted teeth at Lu Yu, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's hard to imagine Midou calmly talking to you about this kind of topic." ”

"In her eyes, I may be a creature similar to the evil asura. Lu Yu said jokingly.

"You're self-aware. ”

Lu Yu smiled, "It's not self-knowledge, it's my colleagues who would say that." ”

Liuying looked at Lu Yu for a moment, and then said, "Haven't I discovered your hidden attributes yet?"

Lu Yu shook his head, "It's because they haven't discovered my hidden attribute yet." ”

Liuying talked and laughed with Lu Yu along the way, and changed to the bus to Guiye Courtyard, which took more than an hour, and Liuying also felt that the passage of time was extremely beautiful.

"Lu Yu. When he got out of the car, Lu Yu had already gotten up, and Liu Ying suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" Lu Yu turned around.

"I seem to like you a little. ”

This time it was Lu Yu who was stunned, and he looked at Liuying, as if he couldn't believe that these words came from Liuying's mouth.

"You know, I'm not too good at discerning this emotion and keeping you waiting. ”

There weren't too many good moments in Lu Yu's twenty-seven years of Canggou Baiyun, but at this moment he was willing to give everything he could in exchange. He remembered that Zhai Ran once asked him, what if he couldn't be with the person he liked? He said, if you don't be together, you won't be together, anyway, your life won't be that long. And now, he suddenly wants to be a little longer, a little longer in his life.

"You two hurry down, this is the last stop. The driver turned around and yelled impatiently.

Liuying stood up, looked at Lu Yu, who was still speechless, and gently pushed him: "Let's go, get you out of the car." ”

Liuying got out of the car by herself before Lu Yu had time to come back to her senses, she felt that there was a place in her heart that was particularly warm, but she was a little red for what she had just said, and her heart was beating faster.

"Would you like to be with me?" Lu Yu asked after him.

Liuying smiled and asked, "Isn't what I just said obvious enough?"

"Not enough. ”

"I've noticed that you're really thick-skinned sometimes. Hotaru said amusedly.

"You also know you've kept me waiting, so..."

Before Lu Yu finished speaking, Liu Ying said, "Yes." ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go. Liuying urged without waiting for Lu Yu's reaction.

The foundation of the annex building has been formed, and the construction team is busy with it. Liu Ying did not go to contact the construction party with Lu Yu, but walked to sit under the old banyan tree alone. She pulled out her phone, opened a game she loved to play, and played for a while.

"What are you playing?" Lu Yu asked as he sat down next to her.

"Haven't you played Monument Valley? This is a must-play game for architects. ”

"I've heard from a colleague, is it fun?"

Liu Ying put the phone in front of Lu Yu's eyes and said: "Look at this, is it exactly the same as the red wall in Spain? And this, the layers of stairs, the prototype is the stepwell in Neemrana, India, the key is that it has made this pool, isn't it amazing? You can know it when you play it, the structural inspiration brought by this visual difference is too exquisite, sometimes I will play for a while when I can't draw a picture." ”

"It seems... Not bad. ”

"Would you like to try it?" asked Hotaru.

Lu Yu shook his head: "Don't." ”

Liuying said, "Then let's go", and then got up, Lu Yu reached out and grabbed her hand, "Sit with me for a while." ”

Hotaru awkwardly withdrew her hand and sat down quietly.

"When I was a kid, like most other kids, I wanted to go to an amusement park, I wanted to play video games, I wanted to do something that I should do at that age, but my dad wouldn't allow it, he said it was all a plaything. I went to endless cram schools and various interest classes under his supervision, and I went to it for more than ten years, and slowly forgot what it was like to play video games in amusement parks. When I was in high school, I couldn't find a topic to talk about with most boys my age, and when I went to college, I had to find an excuse to go to the library when my roommates played games, and when they went to some entertainment venues, I could only say that I still had a part-time job to do, and I didn't want to play with them, but it felt like something you loved was taken away from you, and when you went back to find that you didn't need it anymore, until now you instinctively reject it. I remember the first year of Kihe, we took on a very big project, the design of a large parent-child paradise, I looked at the computer for a week, and I couldn't draw anything. My mind was blank, and I couldn't even figure out what childlike fun was. ”

Liuying looked at Lu Yu, who looked more lonely than ever. She thought that the experience of being abandoned when he was a child was already very torturous, but she didn't expect that there was such a bitter shadow of childhood, she, an orphan without father and mother, was taken to the amusement park by Shen Youxia from time to time when she was a child, but Lu Yu couldn't even realize this little wish when she was a child, and she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him. She wouldn't comfort anyone, so she could only say softly: "Then, I won't play this anymore." ”

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Are you a husband and a wife?"

Liuying's face suddenly flushed, "Why is your skin thicker than the city wall?"

"Probably a hidden attribute. Lu Yu replied seriously.

Liuying no longer struggled with him on this topic, she felt that she didn't have any advantage in the matter of arguing with Lu Yu, after all, he was brazen.

"We met when we were kids, right?" asked Hotaru.

Lu Yu nodded, "The first time I saw you, it was here. ”

"I found that this world is too small, the captain of our volunteer team is your Fa Xiao, my best friend's boyfriend is also your Fa Xiao, we met when we were children, we were alumni in high school, and we studied the same major in college, and now we can go back to the place where we first met together, do you say it's too much of a coincidence?"

"Liuying, this world is not small, and there have never been so many coincidences, all coincidences are just premeditated for a long time. ”

"Deliberate...... It's been a long time?"

"Let's go, go and see how thick the walls really are. ”
