Chapter Seventy-One: Temporary Boyfriend
One thing after another, seemingly endlessly. But today is February 14th, and Duke left the lab early, returned to the apartment, and counted the time when Shuya would get out of class.
As soon as Shu Ya walked out of the classroom and turned on the mute on her phone, Duke's call came in on time.
"Duke, what's the matter, people just got out of class, but I'm very busy today" Shu Ya asked knowingly, but her heart was sweet, this guy is still not too stupid, he actually knows to call to say hello.
Hearing this familiar voice, somehow, Duke always felt a little nervous today.
"Nothing important at night, right?" Duke said dryly, skipping in his heart, feeling like he had said a nonsense, after all, inviting Shu Ya out today, this intention was too straightforward and obvious. Although the two had a beautiful Chinese New Year's Eve before, tonight was really different, and if Duke guessed Shu Ya's mind wrong, tonight must be a new sad night.
"Is there something wrong" Shu Ya originally still teased Duke a little, but she heard Duke's nervousness from the phone, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if nervousness would also be contagious. Maybe this day seems to have come too soon. Shu Ya thought.
"I'll treat you to a candlelight dinner tonight, again at Silverstone." Stretching out his head is a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife, Duke turned his heart sideways and said quickly. After saying that, Duke held his breath and waited for Shu Ya's answer like a prisoner waiting for a sentence.
Promise him? Don't promise him? Thinking of the meaning of today's sensitive day, Shu Ya, who has always been generous and cheerful, couldn't help but be a little silent.
This is a difficult decision, and for Shu Ya, who is in her prime, she is really a little unprepared when she is really faced with this choice for the first time.
This invitation is different from usual, to be a friend, Shu Ya is very satisfied with Duke's performance, but to be a boyfriend, although it is undeniable that in the previous relationship, Shu Ya has a very good impression of Duke, but the time they have known each other is really too short, although this is an era of fast food, but for love, Shu Ya is really not ready to make it fast food.
Shu Ya's silence, Duke on the other end of the phone seemed to be living like a year, time passed minute by minute, Duke's heart was getting heavier and colder.
Maybe he was really too anxious, Duke secretly blamed himself. I must have been carried away by the success of my career during this time, thinking that I could control everything. Today's shame is still secondary, and if you don't even have to be a friend, that's more than worth the loss.
Duke was about to make some excuse to cover up this embarrassing incident, when an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from the other side of the phone, it was pure British English, "Shuya, what are you doing?" Have a date today? I'm miserable, no one asked me out, is it inconvenient for your boyfriend to bring me along? Don't worry, I don't talk nonsense, I just feel too lonely. ”
"Say what? Selena, this is my Chinese fellow, he has made a small fortune and is about to have a treat, so let's go together if you want to. On the phone, Shu Ya seemed to be relieved to say to that Selena, turned her head and asked Duke again: "I'll come with Miss Selena from the house, is it okay?" "Shuya's apartment is different from Duke, it is a two-suite apartment, and the two of them share a living room and bathroom; And Duke asked for an independent set, but the price was much more expensive, but the secret on Duke was too appalling, so Duke would rather spend more money and live alone.
Hearing Shu Ya's voice over there, although he was still a little disappointed in his heart, he thought that Shu Ya finally agreed, although he brought a huge light bulb that diluted the color of Valentine's Day, Duke still breathed a sigh of relief, this is still much stronger than directly rejecting himself. It's better to be content and happy.
"No problem, very welcome! Then we'll see you at six o'clock, old place! Duke, who was in the right frame of mind, quickly replied briskly.
In front of the gate of the Royal Hotel, Duke waited there two minutes in advance, and because of Shu Ya's hesitation, Duke didn't even dare to buy a rose, for fear of provoking Shu Ya. After re-examining his impatience, Duke decided to go the long way. He still has to spend at least two or three years at MIT, and so does Shuya, so there is time between the two. Thinking about it like this, Duke returned to his usual calm state of mind.
As soon as I arrived at 6 o'clock, I watched from a distance that there were two beautiful women with graceful postures, the one on the left was wearing a windbreaker with a black skirt, and she was wearing extremely high nude red-soled shoes, which was very famous and social. The white and tender calves deliberately exposed in the cold evening wind and the long blonde hair fluttering in the wind make it full of charm and sexiness. And on the right is naturally Duke's somewhat haunted Shuya beauty, today she is also wearing a trench coat, but the most classic khaki, with a red retro bag and black boots, the whole person looks very elegant and capable.
Looking at the two beauties who are comparable to Hollywood red carpet stars, Duke was a little distracted for a moment, a person like Shu Ya who has brought disaster to the country and the people, one is already eye-catching enough, and today with a blonde beauty who is not inferior, how can you make your buddy embarrassed. This beautiful light bulb is really eye-catching.
"Shu Ya is here, this is your classmate, right?" Blown by the cold wind that was still raging in Boston February, Duke came to his senses in an instant and greeted him with a smile.
"This is Selena's beauty, how's that? Beautiful, right? Shu Ya introduced with a smile. I almost didn't say if I wanted to introduce you. Fortunately, the words were urgently stopped, although Shu Ya did not directly agree to Duke's Valentine's Day invitation just now, but it was just that she was not ready, and she never wanted to add a love rival to herself.
"Selena, this is my fellow countryman, now MIT Computer Science Doctor Duke, he is very good at computers, and he won the MIT Autonomous Robot Competition this year." Shu Ya generously introduced that when she talked about Duke's achievements, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in her heart.
"Wow, Shuya, your boyfriend is very good, MIT Ph.D., it's not so easy to enter, and he won the competition, it's amazing. And he's handsome. Selena looked at Duke, who was wearing a long coat on the outside and a suit on the inside, and said with some exaggeration.
"I hate it, people aren't official boyfriends yet, but for the sake of today's treat, let's count it as a temporary boyfriend first, let's go, go upstairs and talk about it, the wind is really cold this night" Shu Ya glanced at Duke and said to Selena.
