Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wind
Every Saturday is the day when Chen Youyou regularly goes to the Huaqing Pool Bathing Center, this day is the most relaxing day of the week, there are no classes and no part-time jobs, so she basically stays in the Bathing Center for a day.
On this day she came to the steam room again, and she still chose a small and remote position, this time with her "Romeo and Juliet", and she was reciting the English version of the classic scene dialogue.
Just as her back was fascinated, the door was suddenly opened, and a cold wind blew, which made the stuffy steam room feel very comfortable, she looked up at the door, a handsome man was walking inside, he revealed the luxury in his gestures, and couldn't help but let her take a second look.
Seeing him sit down against the wall, closing her eyes and resting, she became cautious, and did not dare to turn the pages again, for fear of alarming him again and disturbing his sweet dreams.
She secretly looked at this man, who was in his thirties, exuding the charm of a mature man, and she wondered what kind of woman could be favored by such a man.
Just as she was fascinated by what she saw, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and as if she had done something wrong, she knocked the book off in a panic.
The man walked over and picked up the book and handed it to her.
The man smiled at her and sat back to close his eyes to recuperate, Chen Youyou's heart beat faster, she laughed at herself unconsciously, she was tempted by men, this may be people's natural yearning for beautiful things.
Chen Youyou watched him fall asleep, and she couldn't help but feel tired, last night she waited too late for Zheng Tunan to reply to the message, so she didn't rest well.
She also leaned against the wall and began to close her eyes, the warm wall made her feel very comfortable, and gradually became sleepy, she really began to be drowsy, and then gradually felt that the room was getting hotter and hotter, she wanted to struggle, but she didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, until she finally passed out.
When she became conscious again, she felt that she was surrounded by people, chattering but couldn't hear what they were saying, she felt someone pinching her nose and blowing in her mouth, the other party's lips were soft and exploring her lips, she tried to open her eyes, she wanted to see who this person was, but she couldn't see this face clearly, she slowly raised her hand to touch his face, but he stopped her with his hand, she desperately grabbed his hand, and finally he broke free, Eventually, his blurred figure slowly disappeared from her sight.
After she fully regained consciousness, the staff told her that she had fainted in the steam room, and that it was Mr. Gao who saved her, and that she might have died if he hadn't found it earlier, she looked at the bracelet held tightly in her hand and fell into deep thought, presumably this was what she took off from Mr. Gao's hand.
When she returned to the dormitory at night, she was lying on the bed and kept thinking about this Mr. Gao, whether he was the handsome gentleman sitting against the wall, she didn't expect that her first kiss was actually given to a stranger, she had always thought that her first kiss would be Zheng Tunan.
She put the bracelet next to her pillow, the pure fragrance, subtle and elegant, she slept extra sweetly this night.
The next day, she got up late, her roommates had already gotten up and went to the classroom, and she didn't go to buy her and Zheng Tunan's breakfast because she was in a hurry, fortunately she wasn't late, she found a random seat to sit down.
Chen Youyou sent a message to Zheng Tunan, "I'm sorry, I wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I got up late today and didn't go to buy breakfast." ”
Zheng Tunan replied lukewarmly, "It's okay." Not caring about her at all, she felt inexplicably sad.
She sniffed the scent of the bracelet and calmed herself down, their relationship was fake, and he had no obligation to care about her, but even so, she was still very uncomfortable.
The boy next to her noticed the bracelet in her hand and asked, "Classmate, this bracelet is not cheap, right?" ”
This boy Chen Youyou has not been in contact with him, so I don't know what his name is.
Chen Youyou said: "I don't know, it's a friend's." ”
The boy asked, "Can you show me?" ”
Chen Youyou took off the bracelet and handed it to him.
I saw that the boy began to observe and smell the smell. "This is Qi Nan agarwood, the incense is very full, and the fragrance is mellow, and there is a lingering fragrance on the fingertips after passing the hand."
"Is this expensive?" Chen Youyou asked.
The boy nodded, "Six figures." ”
Chen Youyou began to count the six-figure amount with his fingers, and then he was terrified, Mr. Gao would not treat her as a thief, this was enough to sentence.
The boy gossiped: "I think this bracelet seems to be a man's, it can't be Zheng Tunan's, right?" ”
Because of his relationship with Zheng Tunan, Chen Youyou is well known in the class.
Before Chen Youyou could answer, the boy added: "No, this is not his style, he doesn't love these things." ”
Chen Youyou asked, "Do you know Zheng Tunan?" ”
The boy introduced himself: "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Lu Jinghua, and I am Zheng Tunan's high school classmate." ”
Chen Youyou said: "My name is Chen Youyou, and I am Zheng Tunan's rumored girlfriend. ”
Lu Jinghua whispered: "It's not fun to be with him, right?" ”
Chen Youyou seemed to have been seen through, and asked weakly, "Why do you ask that?" ”
Lu Jinghua said lightly: "Zheng Tunan is a little handsome, but he is very incomprehensible, if I were a girl, I would definitely not find him as a boyfriend." ”
Chen Youyou said angrily: "Hey, Lu Jinghua, it's not good for you to say this to my boyfriend in front of me." ”
Lu Jinghua looked Chen Youyou up and down, "I think you are also mediocre, how did you impress him, could it be that you have any handle on his hands." ”
Chen Youyou was furious, "Lu Jinghua, did Zheng Tunan offend you before, why did you slander the two of us so much." ”
Lu Jinghua looked like he was beaten up, "He still needs to offend me, I don't feel very happy just by looking at his arrogant appearance." ”
Chen Youyou turned his anger into fun: "Then the next time you see him, beat him up." ”
"Are you willing?" Chen Youyou's reaction was unexpected by Lu Jinghua, he thought she would be annoyed and angry.
Chen Youyou said: "You two should be very good friends, right?" ”
"How so?" Lu Jinghua asked rhetorically.
Chen Youyou smiled lightly: "Because good friends complain about each other so much." ”
Lu Jinghua thought thoughtfully, "To be honest, your appearance is really an exception for him, and I am a little looking forward to seeing where you can go." ”
After class at noon, she didn't find all kinds of reasons to invite him to dinner as usual, but went to the bathing center alone, maybe she could meet Mr. Gao again and return the bracelet to him, after all, she was really not at ease when such an expensive thing was placed here for her.
After coming to the bathing center, she called Mr. Gao at the front desk.
Once the call is connected.
"Hello, is this Mr. Gao?"
"You are?"
"I was the guest you rescued in the Huaqing Pool Bathing Center last time, you have something left here, can you come over for a while, I will wait for you in the Bathing Center, or I can send it to you."
"I'll go right over."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Chen Youyou sat in the rest area waiting for him, she looked at the entrance from time to time, and intuitively, she was almost certain that Mr. Gao was the man who was sitting against the wall that day.
Soon after, a man in a blue suit entered the bathing center, he glanced around, his eyes fixed on Chen Youyou, he walked towards Chen Youyou, Chen Youyou quickly stood up, and watched this handsome man walk towards him.
"Are you Mr. Gao?" Chen Youyou asked.
"It's me." Yi Feng smiled when he saw Chen Youyou.
Chen Youyou smiled, "Thank you for saving your life yesterday." ”
Yi Feng smiled lightly, "It's a gesture." ”
Chen Youyou saw the bracelet he was wearing, took it off awkwardly, and handed it to him, "This agarwood bracelet is yours, I woke up that day and somehow got into my hand." ”
"Thank you." Yi Feng took the bracelet, and the contact of his fingertips made each other's hearts ripple.
The awkward atmosphere silenced both of them.
"Mr. Gao, you haven't eaten yet, I'll invite you to dinner." Chen Youyou took the lead in breaking the embarrassing situation, she pointed to the food stall next to her, in fact, she was hungry.
"Then I'm really very honored." ”
The last two of them ate Malatang.
"What do I call you?" Yi Feng hesitated for a long time and finally asked.
"Chen Youyou, Qingqing Zijin, Youyou my heart." Chen Youyou smiled lightly, "Mr. Gao, what about you?" ”
"A single word, a wind on the left, and a shortened easy word on the right." Yi Feng didn't know how to explain that he didn't have the surname Gao, so he only said his nickname, which is usually only called by his parents, after all, Gao Feng is not so good.
"Mr. Gao, your name is very nice and gentle." Gao Yang is a lamb, can it not be gentle.
"Thank you" Yi Feng is as elegant as ever.
"Mr. Gao, are you still used to eating?" Chen Youyou asked.
Yi Feng smiled and said, "It's delicious, thank you." ”
Chen Youyou went to clip a fish ball, the ball was too slippery, and she accidentally spilled the soup on her body.
Yi Feng handed the tissue to Chen Youyou, but the spicy tang was full of oil, Yi Feng called the waiter and asked Chen Youyou to change the clothes for the waiter to wash, and she herself went to take a shower and changed into a sweat suit.
When Chen Youyou came out again, Yi Feng also changed into a sweat suit, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling both embarrassed and funny.
The two of them went to the steam room last time, sat around the table, and the waiter brought tea.
Yi Feng didn't see it at all, "Yoyo, do you still have Romeo and Juliet with you last time?" ”
Chen Youyou flipped through his bag and took out two books, "Do you read the Chinese version or the English version?" ”
"English"
Chen Youyou handed him the book.
Yi Feng said to Chen Youyou: "When I was studying abroad, I used to act in Romeo and Juliet's stage plays. ”
Chen Youyou guessed: "Do you play Romeo?" ”
"No, you can't guess" Yi Feng said embarrassedly: "I played Juliet!" ”
Chen Youyou sneered, "Haha, is it?" That must have been challenging. ”
Yi Feng snorted and said, "Only your name is my enemy. Even if you don't have montague, you are still such a you.”
Chen Youyou applauded and gave him a thumbs up: "You're so good!" ”
