Chapter 20: Speed
I don't know if the other students are gone, or if I think this atmosphere, the quietness of this path, An Ruo feels that this quietness is a little unexpected.
But while also thinking that maybe not saying anything was the best choice, so she didn't plan to say anything immediately to break the atmosphere, but instead walked quietly with Lu Ling, walking at the usual pace. I don't want to do anything different from my usual life, so that's what I am now.
"Have you been going back alone?"
I thought it would be so calm along the way, but in fact, at this time, Lu Ling's voice sounded in An Ruo's ears, and he was shocked and couldn't understand his words. While trying to calm his mind quickly, An Ruo began to answer his questions.
"Hmm."
A gentle word, it was said under the condition that he could hear it, but I don't know how many thoughts there were during the period. A short word was enough to disturb An Ruo's original thoughts, and her gaze began to unconsciously look at Lu Ling's side.
With a cautious look, lest it be discovered, An Ruo's heart trembled faintly.
"Are you looking at me?"
This action was completely discovered by Lu Ling, and he didn't quickly turn his gaze to look at the face that was starting to glow a little red, and it seemed from his tone that he was in a good mood.
Be careful, Anruo, you may not have gotten used to it yet.
After a brief thought, he began to slowly return his gaze, looking at An Ruo, while feeling the other party's obvious quickened pace. There was a little joy in his heart, and this hurried figure left a deep impression on his mind.
It feels very bad to be seen and known, and she doesn't want to admit it, but after all, she can't escape the thoughts, so she chooses to go quickly. And it is precisely in this way that there is no need for words, it can be seen from her actions alone. When the redness on her cheeks gradually dissipated, An Ruo's steps returned to normal.
But it was too late, Lu Ling knew An Ruo's thoughts at this moment, he didn't say anything, just bent his mouth and showed a charming smile.
"I think I'm going to be there soon, xiexie."
Unconsciously, this journey was about to reach the end, An Ruo looked at the distance of less than a few tens of meters, and thought that it was almost over, so he turned his gaze and looked at Lu Ling and said.
"Worried about being seen by your parents?" Lu Ling stopped and looked at An Ruo as he spoke, revealing a hint of doubt from her gaze, while quickly looking back at the few houses in front of him.
"It's not." An Ruo said immediately.
"Or do you want to invite me in for a glass of water?" Lu Ling asked again, looking a little patient.
"No, it's not." An Ruo pursed her thin lips and said, tightening the bag on her body, and her thoughts gradually calmed down. As on that night, if you had entered your own room with him, the hidden worry would have been fully revealed at this moment.
It can't be erased, An Ruo also felt a little powerless when he thought about it, "I think I can go by myself, I don't want to delay you about anything, xiexie, your company all the way." There was a bit of feeling in his tone, and An Ruo hoped that Lu Ling would know what he meant.
"What if I say I don't have anything at all?" Another question made Lu Ling look at An Ruo with a more interested look, but he didn't hear An Ruo's answer for a few seconds, which was somewhat disappointed, he spread his hands and said, "Maybe next time, then I'll go first." ”
"Hmm."
An Ruo answered, and immediately turned around, and at that moment, she looked ahead and secretly gasped. After a few steps, he walked forward, like the kind of person he would look at himself from behind him. Actually, this ...... It's something you shouldn't think about.
However, An Ruo actually couldn't help it, "Just take a look." The whispered words could only be heard by himself, and his footsteps quickly steadied, and An Ruo turned his body as fast as he could.
What about going back? An Ruo looked behind the empty air, and unconsciously stopped for a few seconds, and when the slightly disappointed look gradually turned around, An Ruo continued to walk forward.
This short time was enough for Lu Ling to move his body, and he stood around the corner and glanced at the dusk sky. Then, this time was enough to judge that An Ruo had already returned his gaze, and walked out of the corner. Then he quickly moved to a closer position and continued to watch An Ruo walk.
He didn't look at himself, and yes, maybe he had something. Oh no, he didn't have to worry about himself, An Ruo thought secretly.
"......" suddenly came out with a rustling sound, but An Ruo didn't notice it at all, and continued to walk less than 5 meters away from the house, his thoughts aside, so he didn't feel the danger coming from the top of his head at all.
"Be careful."
"Ah, what?"
“……”
An Ruo's heart was shocked, and he suddenly found that his body was hugged and left three meters away from the place in a very short time. And where he had walked past was now lying on an iron shelf, from which the shrill sound emanated.
"Are you alright?"
Lu Ling let go of An Ruo and looked her body up and down until he was sure that there was no injury before he breathed a sigh of relief.
An Ruo's aftermath in his heart was unsuccessful, so he didn't say anything immediately, looking at the window of the house above, the shelf on the other side seemed to be about to fall. If you get hit, you will definitely get hurt, you can't imagine it.
But he was fine now, because Lu Ling was over, and An Ruo tried to take a few breaths to calm his thoughts. He slowly raised his gaze to look at Lu Ling, "Xiexie." ”
"You're fine." Lu Ling said with a smile.
"But...... Haven't you already left? ”
The question quickly appeared in An Ruo's sight, and began to quickly occupy her thoughts at an uncontrollable speed. She looked at him with a strange feeling, yes, she had just turned around and was obviously without him, and now she could get to her side at such a fast speed.
And to get yourself out of the distance of three meters so quickly, this feeling of speed is really a little unbelievable. An Ruo looked at Lu Ling seriously, and the surprise in his eyes could not be stopped.
