Chapter 161: Confession

For two or three days, Chonghua didn't dare to sleep.

I'm afraid that it will be unstable to return to modern times. It would be troublesome to go back to ancient times again in your sleep.

I rented a lot of old discs and bought two bottles of more expensive and sweet-tasting red wine. Accompanied by cheese and fruit, watch movies all night long.

I've never felt like this kind of day before. And now, Chonghua wants to open his arms and embrace the world vigorously.

During the day, I went to the bookstore, bought books by Haruki Murakami and Milan Kundera, sat by the window of the café, basking in the sun and watching the hurried pedestrians on the road.

A cup of clear coffee and drink it hot.

Time passed silently, as if you could hear it whizzing by.

And it's okay to live like this like this.

Sometimes I make my own dinner, and sometimes I go to a restaurant that I don't usually go to. For those who have a plate of green vegetables, it is at the consumption level of five or six hundred. Chonghua has always scoffed.

But now sitting in the restaurant, I realize that sometimes, it's just a mood.

Look up places to go online and plan a trip. It doesn't matter if you go far, it doesn't matter if you're a foreign country. I want to taste more different scenery.

Finally one day, Lu Ningyuan took the initiative to call her. She was pulled out of the world of one person who was so happy.

"We have to have a meal together." Lu Ningyuan said on the other end of the phone with a warm smile.

Chonghua responded, after all, Mu Jingran and Zuo Jichuan were very helpful when they were in a coma. I should also thank them.

I made an appointment the night after tomorrow in Manchaolou. The private dish is doing quite well.

Lu Ningyuan set the time with a smile, and said that he would go to Zuo and Chuan to make an appointment. It seems that she has been living quite comfortably these days.

Mu Jingran got the news and gladly accepted the invitation to get together. After all, she hadn't come into contact with the awake Chonghua yet. I'm curious about what it's like to be in modern times.

Zuo Jichuan originally had a problem that day, but as soon as the queen stepped on his high heels, Zuo Jichuan silently adjusted the time. Gu Chengren's side is much easier, he will go if he has food.

Chonghua is usually not a woman with heavy makeup, and when she goes to a nightclub, she paints it like a ghost once or twice. Everyday is a cotton and linen shirt with thin jeans. Slippers or handmade cloth shoes are worn on the feet.

As soon as he appeared, he showed a posture that was very out of place with the surrounding atmosphere.

Even if Mu Jingran didn't identify it carefully, he could see at a glance in the crowd that the person was Chonghua.

"Why do I have a kind of rush that she was more harmonious in ancient times......" Queen Mu was silent and pinched Zuo Jichuan fiercely.

Zuo Jichuan's arm hurt, and he took Queen Mu's claws off with a smile. You must know that Mu Jingran's nails are not short, pinch them to ensure that they are bloody.

Lu Ningyuan lowered his head to drink tea and smiled faintly: "I don't know if I'm used to seeing it, I always think it's more suitable for her to wear ancient costumes." ”

Gu Chengren looked at Chonghua who was walking towards them, and his every move was elegant and indifferent. It's like stepping out of an ancient painting. Maybe it's the life over there that has given Chonghua such a habit. The extravagance is fully displayed in every gesture.

"Sorry, I'm late." Chonghua smiled faintly, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Zuo Jichuan took the lead and stretched out his hand to Chonghua with a smile: "Zuo Jichuan, we have met." ”

Chonghua burst out laughing, stretched out his hand to hold Zuo Jichuan's big hand and nodded: "Chonghua, long time no see." ”

Mu Jingran looked at these two people with disdain, didn't he just go to another world once. She has also been there, under the guidance of Gu Chengren.

"Senior Sister Mu." Chonghua still remembered the beautiful woman who looked at her with concern.

Mu Jingran was very happy to see that Chonghua still remembered her. He nodded with a smile.

Gu Chengren pouted: "When are you going to eat?" ”

All:......

The meal was very lively. Zuo Jichuan and Mu Jingran talked about going abroad to crush foreigners, and everyone laughed from ear to ear. Gu Chengren interspersed some unbelievable supernatural stories from time to time, which heated up the atmosphere at the dinner table.

But it's as if everyone is deliberately ignoring something. Everyone has a tacit understanding not to mention Chonghua's life in ancient times.

That night, Lu Ningyuan sent Chonghua home.

Mu Jingran drank too much and was carried away by Zuo Jichuan and sent home. Gu Chengren has a special person to pick up, so you don't need to worry about it.

Lu Ningyuan looked at the dark night outside, and said to Chonghua with a smile, "Let's take a walk." ”

Chonghua nodded silently and followed Lu Ningyuan to the road.

Because there had been a light rain before, the asphalt road was still wet. Yellow streetlights reflect puddles on the road, and taxis pass by from time to time.

Because it is near the city center, there are no ordinary houses. There were almost no people on the streets. The two of them walked slowly and silently.

"Thank you for coming to see me in the United States." Chonghua suddenly said with a smile.

Lu Ningyuan looked at her and smiled: "It's a pity that I can't catch anything." I would also like to thank Senior Zuo and Senior Sister Mu for their efforts. Otherwise, you will still be isolated and treated in the United States at this time. ”

If it weren't for Zuo and Chuan's stitches to make things bigger, Chonghua would still be isolated as a research object at this time.

Chonghua looked down at the mottled lines on the road: "Senior Zuo is very powerful." ”

Zuo Jichuan looks warm, but the coldness in the depths of his eyes is not something that can be seen lightly. That kind of person is smiling at you one second, and the next second he might hack you to death. But even in those moments, you still think he's kind to you.

"It's remarkable." Chonghua thought about it and came up with such a conclusion.

Lu Ningyuan nodded. No one can guess Zuo Jichuan's experience. This is also something they did not expect.

"They're dating, aren't they?" Chonghua remembered Zuo Jichuan's doting eyes when he looked at Mu Jingran. That's the kind of look that only people in love have.

Lu Ningyuan scratched his hair: "It hasn't been clearly announced, but it should be like that." ”

Chonghua pursed his lips and laughed: "It's a good match." ”

Both looked down and laughed. It's ridiculous, but it continues to be a long silence.

Chonghua looked ahead, a long road. It was unrealistic to walk back to her home from near the city center. After all, Chonghua's apartment is on the side of the commercial street. It is six or seven stops away from the city center, even if it is a subway ride. Chonghua never tried to walk back.

But Lu Ningyuan walked in front of him as if he was going back tonight. Silence.

This silence seems to be about to be suppressed, as if something is coming. There was a brief silence.

Chonghua knew that she should wait at this time, after all, it was Lu Ningyuan who provoked the head. She should respect him, instead of pretending to be crazy and stupid to erase the past.

Sure enough, Lu Ningyuan finally couldn't withstand such a long silence, and looked at Chonghua a little shyly.

"Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

It is very prudent to ask such a question. After all, all the time they spend in contact is doing psychological counseling. Even after Chonghua fell asleep, he relied heavily on Lu Ningyuan's voice for a while. It's also a dependence on people you know in a completely unfamiliar environment. That's not love.

So Lu Ningyuan didn't expect this step to be in place, and it was completely okay to start from scratch.

Chonghua was stunned for a moment, she never put the names Lu Ningyuan and her boyfriend in the same position. Coldly a little confused.

Lu Ning saw Chonghua with a puzzled expression, and turned his face away: "Say something." ”

Chonghua was stunned: "What do you say?" ”

"For example...... Are you kidding? It's not funny at all, or something. Lu Ningyuan said with a smile.

Chonghua blinked and looked at him lightly: "But you take it seriously." I say that to you, and it is not fair to you. ”

Lu Ningyuan's smile froze on his face. He had thought that he could push the awkward atmosphere through a gag. But I didn't expect Chonghua to think about it seriously.

Does this mean that he has hope to win her heart?

Chonghua looked at him indifferently: "I haven't tried to date a man. My experience of being in love comes from novels and comics. When I write, I also try my best to avoid that beautiful and romantic love. Because I can't understand the subtleties. So, you should think carefully before asking me. ”

Lu Ningyuan looked at Chonghua dumbfounded. Originally, his judgment of her was lack of affection. Now it seems that it is much stricter than he expected.

Chonghua turned his face away and muttered, "I really don't understand what love is." ”

Lu Ningyuan looked at her side face reflected in the dim street lamp. Those were two completely different faces from the one in the dream. I don't know why, at that moment, Lu Ningyuan seemed to see the woman in a lilac palace dress leaning against the window, looking at the willow branches swaying outside the window.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Ningyuan grabbed Chonghua's hand. Seeing that she turned her face in surprise, she smiled and said, "Then I will pursue you from this moment." Finally gave me a chance. What do you think? ”

Chonghua was stunned, and Lu Ningyuan had already pulled her to run. The two of them ran like children on the empty road.

Chonghua laughed irrepressibly as he ran.

Every time I saw Lu Ningyuan, he looked cold and calm. It was the first time I saw him with such a vivid expression. It seems to be a teenager of eighteen or nineteen, and his eyes are full of bright sunshine.

Fortunately, I wore cloth shoes, so I didn't have to run so hard. The two of them ran far away, but after all, they couldn't really walk home, so they stopped a taxi.

Lu Ningyuan remembered Gu Chengren's entrustment, and he would definitely send Chonghua home smoothly before midnight. Sitting in the taxi, Lu Ningyuan never let go of Chonghua's slender hand. There was only a thunderous heartbeat in my ears. For the first time in my life, I jumped so fast. It was as if it was about to jump out.

I didn't dare to use force in my hands, for fear of pinching her. Such caution.

Chonghua looked at the streamer outside the window, and the stars in the darkness lit up.

For some reason, a cold face just broke into her thoughts.

Those golden eyes couldn't get rid of it. R1152
