The night is as cold as water, and the sound of hunting wind is surrounding the two people, but the distance between them is widening little by little, and those intimate and familiar memories are now turning into swords that hurt each other, and faintly, Lu Ke can even see the gloom and pain in Julia's side face.

If it was before, Lu Ke would have reached out and taken Julia into his arms, and then said unswervingly: Which guy actually dared to bully my Julia, let me go over and teach him a good lesson; But now, Lu Ke can't, because he is the bad guy who is bullying Julia.

Lu Ke had never encountered such a situation, and he didn't know how to deal with it, he hesitated, should he just turn around and leave, and completely cut off the last trace of contact, but in this case, would it be too cold-blooded and ruthless?

"Haha! I've fooled you! Julia jerked her head up and gave her a big smile with a sly glint in her eyes, and her whole body jumped with joy.

Lu Ke was slightly stunned, his thoughts didn't keep up with the rhythm at all - the girl's mind was really too difficult to guess, this was definitely not Lu Ke's strong point.

Julia caught Lu Ke's stunned gaze and opened her mouth wide in surprise, "You can't really believe it, do you?" You don't really think I like you, do you? God, no wonder Logan says you're simple every time, I've seen you sloppy since you were a child, and I know all the ugly habits, and Logan often complains to me, how can I like you? ”

"Haha! Tricked you this time, right? Julia burst out laughing, her whole body beaming with schadenfreude, "It's your birthday, right?" So I made a bet with Logan to see if I could fool you, hahahaha, look at your expression just now, it's so funny, it's really funny, I should have recorded it. ”

Julia kept babbling, and couldn't stop talking, "But, wait, what do you mean by your refusal?" How dare you refuse my confession? What's going on? Julia clenched her right fist and continued to wave it in front of Lu Ke's eyes, demonstrating in protest.

Lu Ke's heart slipped a little clear.

Although Julia hides it well, the slightly reddened eyes and the sadness deep under her eyes still reveal her thoughts, which are real in the front and false in the back. In order to maintain the relationship between the two families, Julia pretends that nothing has happened, hiding her vulnerability.

Lu Ke also felt sad silently, but he had already made his position clear, and Julia had received the signal, so now in this play, he wants to help Julia continue to perform.

"I can only refuse, you know Logan's, absolutely no mercy on the flies around you." Lu Ke spread his hands and expressed his innocence, "Even if I want to nod and agree, I can only silently refuse." Lu Ke also showed a heart-wrenching look, as if he was performing a comedy.

Julia lifted her chin and put on a haughty posture, as if to say: "You know each other."

Immediately after, Julia took out a gift from behind her, but it was only the size of a palm, and the thick mint green wrapping paper looked very textured, low-key but exquisite, and you could see the traces of careful preparation.

But at this time, Julia had no intention of showing it, and simply explained, "I wasn't going to give you a gift, because your performance just now was really bad, but...... This is a gift that I prepared with Logan, and if you think about it, based on your performance today, this is yours. ”

After speaking, Julia handed the gift to Lu Ke.

"Oh, my mission is done, I'm ready to go home now, call Logan, and show off well, haha, you stupid goose." Julia laughed happily, and without waiting for Lu Ke to reply, she quickly turned around and walked towards the door, but she seemed too light and excited, and the whole person jumped home, revealing a bluff embarrassment.

Lu Ke looked down at the gift box in his hand, let out a long breath, and after watching Julia go back, he walked to the taxi parked on the side of the road-

In fact, the other party had already arrived at the side of the road on time and waited for about three or four minutes, but he never rushed to honk or say hello, but waited patiently.

After Lu Ke got into the taxi, the other party said meaningfully, "Good night, huh?" ”

Lu Ke smiled dumbly, but he didn't have the heart to joke, and replied lightly, "I hope your night is just as good." Immediately after, Lu Ke reported the address of the apartment, and the taxi slowly left the block.

Taking out his mobile phone, Lu Ke made a call to Logan, "You'd better go home and see how Julia is doing." ”

Logan also lives in his apartment now, and only occasionally comes home on his days off, "What? Julia? Isn't she in Los Angeles? ”

The first sentence confirmed Lu Ke's guess: Logan didn't know that Julia was back, and the so-called gift didn't have anything about Logan at all. "She's at home right now, just went back, and I'm a little worried about her state."

Logan was stunned for a moment, although he had never been a quick response type, but vaguely, he still caught clues, "Wait, you mean...... She...... Did she confess? Oh, God! ”

"You know?" Lu Ke understood in an instant, but now is not the time to pursue this matter, "Let's talk about it tomorrow, it's still Julia who is more important now, you can hurry up and take a look." ”

"You rejected her?" Logan's voice suddenly rose, and his foul mouth burst out.

This made Lu Ke chuckle helplessly, "Is this the point now?" ”

“…… Damn Bambi! I'll settle accounts with you tomorrow, and I dare to refuse Julia! "It's one thing for Logan to disagree with himself, it's one thing for him to be friends with Lu Ke, and it's another thing for Julia, and there is still a difference in the distance between relatives and relatives." Bambi! Ahhh Bambi! ”

After shouting, Logan hung up the phone. Lu Ke could even imagine that Logan was anxious on the other end of the phone, which made Lu Ke's worried thoughts fall back into his chest slightly, and he turned his head to look out of the car window, and before he knew it, the night had gradually become thicker, the lights on the hills were gradually extinguished, and the hustle and bustle around him finally fell silent.

It's been a long day.

Back at the door of the house, Lu Ke unconsciously groped for the location of the key in his pocket, and then reacted that there was a / Jiao / guest at home waiting for him, and between the mixed thoughts, he actually forgot about it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth involuntarily rose again; So, Lu Ke found the spare key in the flower pot next to him and opened the door of the house lightly.

A warm air mixed with melodious and moving jazz music flowed down, and Norah-Jones's languid and clear voice echoed in the two-story building, as if you could smell the faint scent of jasmine in the air, slowly surging in that warmth.

The curtains facing the city are all opened, and you can clearly see the lights of the whole city, which is slowly falling into a deep sleep, which also outlines the bright moonlight and colorful starlight above the sky, which are sprinkled down without reservation, and the mottled projection becomes a natural window flower.

In the hall, there are no lights, only the light of the projector is still bright.

Lu Ke walked into the room and could see Candace sitting cross-legged on the sofa, she was wearing a simple white shirt, revealing her long wheat-colored legs, lazily and casually holding a big pillow, staring intently at the large projection screen in front of her, but it was not Lu Ke's game video, but a movie.

Slowly, Lu Ke's footsteps stopped like this, did not approach rashly, and stood quietly beside him, staring intently at Candace in front of him.

Although in the evening, the relationship between the two had just made a breakthrough, and things seemed to be no longer the same, but Candace was not restrained at all, and enjoyed the space and time alone generously, even if Lu Ke's return time was far later than expected, she was not in a hurry and panic.

On the coffee table in front of me, there is a pot of watery cherries, a glass of mellow red wine, and a movie being screened, as if this is the most ordinary movie night.

But it was precisely this most ordinary and ordinary scene that made Lu Ke's heart feel a warmth, as if he had just eaten chocolate, and that joy and cheerfulness quietly bloomed on the corners of his mouth.

It turns out that this is the feeling of belonging to the heart, quiet, faint, warm, but like stepping on the clouds with both legs, flying freely and softly. Especially after experiencing Julia's confession just now, the mood is even more subtle, Lu Ke did not rush forward, just stood quietly in place.

At this time, Candace raised her hands and pulled up her long and supple hair loosely, revealing the supple back of her neck, revealing a touch of gentleness and elegance, and then picked up the shark clip on the coffee table, ready to clamp all her hair, at this time, her eyes caught the figure standing next to her, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! ”

Then after realizing that it was Lu Ke, Candace's shoulders drooped, and she let out a long sigh of relief, and then rolled her eyes unabashedly, "Bambi!" Did you know that this is the scariest thing? ”

Lu Ke stood in place, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose innocently, "I thought you were the most courageous, and you enjoyed watching horror movies at midnight, but I didn't expect that you would be scared like this?" ”

"Otherwise, you can try it?" The crisp verve was still the same as before, without any change, and as she spoke, the hair that had just been pulled up fell out again, and then she bit the shark clip, pulled it up again, and quickly and neatly used the shark clip to tie it up.

Inadvertently, Candace noticed that Lu Ke's gaze was always on her, and she couldn't take her eyes off it, which made her raise her chin and cast a confused gaze, "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Ke said seriously, "Did I say it before? You're really beautiful. ”
