Extra chapter Their Years (6)
The follow-up dinner was quite calm, Lu Yao deliberately chose a private restaurant with a quiet and hidden environment, and the boss seemed to be very familiar with Lu Yao, and personally served them and introduced them.
Lu Yao was gentle and gentle throughout the whole process, chatting with a few of his buddies while using chopsticks to give Gu Qingqing cloth vegetables.
"I don't want to eat abalone." Gu Qingqing complained softly.
"Good, low-calorie, not fat." Lu Yao coaxed.
Gu Qingqing reluctantly ate the abalone he had put in his bowl, his mouth was complaining, every part of his demeanor and demeanor was filled with joy and happiness, and he saw Lu Yao's group of buddies coaxing.
Chen Ling and Lin Han only cared about bowing their heads and eating the vegetables the whole time, which was obviously incompatible with the atmosphere here.
Lu Yao stretched out his chopsticks and also sandwiched a piece of abalone in Lin Han's bowl, the action was natural, everyone else at the table was stunned, Gu Qingqing's originally smiling face was also white, and the atmosphere became especially silent and weird for a while, only Chen Ling couldn't hide a smile on her lips.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yao's voice was soft and soft, he didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with him like this, and he didn't feel the tension and unnaturalness of the atmosphere in vain.
Not daring to look up at the reactions and expressions of others, Lin Han buried his head and replied softly, "Thank you, Senior Lu Yao." ”
"Lin Han, you should be confident." Lu Yao's encouragement shone into Lin Han's heart like a warm current.
Looking up at the boy sitting next to her in shock, what caught her eye was the face she was familiar with, the smile she was familiar with belonging to Lu Yao, full of encouragement, and a look that she couldn't understand.
"Remember? The first time I met you in the bamboo forest, Lin Han, you are the cleanest and purest girl I have ever seen. ”
This girl has the cleanest and purest soul, but he's still very confused, the kind of confusion that he doesn't know can figure it out even when he is with such a beautiful Gu Qingqing, maybe he needs time! Need time to see through, need time to precipitate, need time to figure out what you need?
Under the dining table, Gu Qingqing's sharp nails pierced into the flesh, and the boy sitting next to her didn't even notice it, Gu Qingqing only smiled numbly as if she was wearing a mask, as if she really didn't care, her boyfriend said in front of another girl that the girl was the cleanest and purest girl he had ever seen, was this something that a person like them could have?
How could a family like theirs have the courage to pursue such an ethereal and meaningless thing.
Gu Qingqing's heart turned a thousand times, and the dark and sickly seed in her heart seemed to be about to emerge.
In addition to Gu Qingqing, there was another person who turned pale because of Lu Yao's words.
That person was Wu Yue, one of the people who used to look down on Lin Han the most.
He was also quieter than usual tonight, you must know that he was the atmosphere in Lu Yao's circle.
However, no one noticed this tonight, and they didn't notice that since he saw Lin Han, the boy hadn't taken his eyes off this calm girl.
"Mingzhu can still shine even if it is dusty, Lin Han, you have to be confident in the future, seniors believe in you." Lu Yao said like a gentle big brother.
Lin Han buried his head and blinked his sour eyes hard, and his slightly trembling voice contained a hint of imperceptible choking, "Okay." ”
From childhood to adulthood, everyone will only say that she is well-behaved and obedient, including her parents, no one tells her to be confident, no one says that she is a pearl covered with dust, except for Chen Ling who believes in her good, no one tells her that she should be confident, no one has said that she is excellent.
How important is this kind of impact to a person who has always had extreme inferiority, to be recognized, praised, and affirmed, this kind of warmth may also be a kind of warmth that Lin Han can still feel even when he is separated from Lu Yao for many years to come.
Lu Yao, this guy?
Chen Ling didn't expect him to say such a thing on an occasion like today, her thoughts were actually not as many times as Lin Han's, she just felt that seeing Gu Qingqing was about to cry and pretended to be empathetic and couldn't attack, she didn't think about the meaning of Lu Yao's words at a deep level, she just felt that he was rarely sober, otherwise, Chen Ling really thought that this superficial man was about to be fascinated by Gu Qingqing's fox spirit and didn't care about anything!
After eating, everyone was ready to go back, Chen Ling had originally thought of letting the driver at home pick it up, but Lu Yao said that their car had enough space and could seat two people.
Chen Ling thought about it and decided not to trouble Uncle Wang, but she didn't want Lin Han to sit in Lu Yao's car, Gu Qingqing's woman's mood at the dinner table just now was not right, the ghost knows what kind of nerves she will have when the time comes, she is reluctant to let her family Lin Han be wronged.
"Let Lin Han take our car! Chen Ling, you and Lu Yao are together. ”
Wu Yue, who had been silent, suddenly said this at this time.
"You?" Chen Ling hasn't forgotten how this guy said behind people's backs that Lin Han is a common girl, what's the matter? Yan Kong has changed sex? Did the sow go up the tree?
Wu Yue did not shy away from Chen Ling's scrutiny and questioning, he breathed a long sigh of relief, those struggles in his heart no longer seemed to be there, and looked directly into Chen Ling's eyes, "Yes, me!" ”
Chen Ling looked at the boy from top to bottom, and thought for a while, "Lin Han, you can take Wu Yue's car!" "Compared with Gu Qingqing's neuropathy and Lu Yao's smiling tiger, Wu Yue's shallow man who is moody and lustful seems to be more reliable.
Lin Han responded obediently, she had complete trust in Chen Ling, in fact, she didn't like to sit with Gu Qingqing now, except for Senior Lu Yao, she also knew in her heart that she and Qingqing would not be able to go back to the past for a long time.
Wu Yue?
Lu Yao looked at his good buddy inquiringly, and he seemed to be different from usual tonight.
"Gu Qingqing is actually good, beautiful, smart, it's enough to be your Lu Yao's girlfriend, if you want to block the wild bees and butterflies around you, this is the best way, love, like, you don't hate it, there's no need to think so much."
Once that voice told him that it was a good choice to have a girlfriend like Gu Qingqing.
and the man who said this......
Lu Yao's heart jumped suddenly, and in the dark he had a hunch that he would lose something he cared about, but he didn't know what that thing was?
Obviously, Gu Qingqing is by his side, he still can't feel joy or steadfastness, obviously, he likes Qingqing in his heart, he likes her!
Seeing Lin Han slightly lifting his skirt and getting into Wu Yue's car, he really wanted to reach out and grab it, but he didn't know what he should grab.
It's going to be lost! That unknown feeling of confusion, Lu Yao, why can't you just remember?
Can't remember what you've lost?
Wu Yue's car sent everyone else home, and they didn't plan to go back to school tonight, anyway, their home was in the rich area less than ten minutes away from Shenghua, and it was nothing if they had a car, Lin Han was also ready to go home, after all, she didn't want to be seen by the people in the school by dressing like this, but it was a little troublesome for Wu Yue.
The driver only cared about driving the whole time, not squinting, Lin Han sat in the second row of the car, looking at Wu Yue sitting in the co-pilot with some restraint, she didn't forget that the boy named Wu Yue didn't seem to like her, and called her Punu behind her back, she wasn't actually angry, but she didn't know how to face it, "My home is a little far away, please ...... it"
"I didn't ...... It's okay......" The boy replied a little loud and stumbling, his cheeks slightly hot, and he should be thankful that the night had blurred the light in the car, so that the girl sitting in the back could not see his red cheeks.
Lin Han thought about it, she better talk less, Wu Yue didn't like her in the first place, and it was already very difficult for him to send him home.
Quiet and quiet!
The silence in the carriage made the boy's originally happy mood slowly sink, he wanted to open his mouth but couldn't find a suitable topic, the girl behind him, has been very quiet, so quiet that everyone can almost ignore her existence, and he said that she is a common girl is not actually to laugh at her, but ......
Even when the pearl is covered with dust, it can still shine.
Lu Yao still realized it, right? But Wu Yue didn't want to, he didn't want the pearl he fancied to fall into the arms of such a dazzling Lu Yao.
Lu Yao doesn't understand love, how can Wu Yue understand?
The car stopped at the alley of Lin Han's house.
"I'm here, it's too narrow, it's not easy to get out if you drive in." Lin Han was about to drive the door out.
"Wait, wait, I'll come." Wu Yue hurriedly opened the car door, afraid that she would misunderstand and explained again, "You are wearing a dress, the skirt is too long, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for you." ”
Lin Han said thank you.
Wu Yue helped her open the car door, and held on to the roof of the car gentlemanly, afraid that she would knock her head when she bent over.
The driver of the Wu family looked at his young master who was so sympathetic to the girl in front of him, his calm eyes flickered for a moment, and he finally didn't see anything.
Lin Han thought that Wu Yue today was really different from the Wu Yue she had seen, she thanked him a little, and felt that her thanks tonight seemed to be quite much.
"Goodbye!" She waved at him and turned to go home.
"Lin Han!" Wu Yue called her behind her.
"Huh?" The girl, who had already walked out a few steps, looked back suspiciously.
"You are very beautiful today, much more beautiful than Gu Qingqing." Wu Yue finally raised a bright smile on his face, and after thinking about it, his heart would be extraordinarily relaxed.
Lin Han was stunned, she didn't think that she would be warmed by the big boy in front of her one day, "Thank you, Wu Yue!" He called out his name so naturally, and for the first time he smiled so happily and without restraint.
"You look better without glasses!" Wu Yue continued.
Lin Han smiled, well, she didn't wear the black-framed glasses she had been wearing all the time today! In fact, her myopia is not too high, but this is a secret, only Chen Ling knows, Gu Qingqing doesn't know!
"Good!" Lin Han's smile slammed into the boy's heart.
"Lin Han!" Wu Yue kicked the stones under his feet, and lowered his head slightly in embarrassment.
"Huh?" The girl in front of her responded softly.
"I didn't mean to ridicule you when I said you were a girl, I ......" He always knew that this girl was special, but there were some things he couldn't say.
"I know!"
She knows?
The boy looked up suddenly, his eyes shining strangely.
Lin Han smiled and said, "I know you have no malicious intentions, you're just telling the truth." ”
No!
The boy looked at her sadly, regretting, regretting that he had said such a thing in the first place, and that it had hurt her self-esteem. When he came to his lips, he was inexplicably sad when he saw the calm expression on the girl's face.
"I'm sorry!" He apologized not only for the deliberate hurt of her like he had done, but also because of a secret hidden in his heart, if it weren't for him, maybe Lin Han wouldn't have been able to look at that person from afar.
Lin Han likes Lu Yao, this secret, only he knows among the boys, but Lu Yao, he is not suitable for such a beautiful Lin Han.
"It's okay." Lin Han was still guilty, Wu Yue was guilty for the Punu incident.
"Can you be friends then?" Wu Yue's eyes were full of hope.
"Yes." Lin Han always kept smiling, from the heart.
Seeing Lin Han walk into the bright alley, Wu Yue's heart was warm and steady.
Lin Han: She said that she will be friends in the future! Friends, it's good, the others can take their time, they're all still young, aren't they?
Wu Yue smiled and walked to the car, and a slender figure slowly walked out of the darkness as he walked towards the car, standing in front of him.
"Lu Yao......"
Wu Yue muttered his name, shocked and apprehensive.
"Do you like Lin Han?" Lu Yao's expression seemed to see through everything.
Because he likes it, even if he is sarcastic behind his back, even if he persuades him to accept Gu Qingqing, he doesn't want him to figure out what those secret things are in his heart?
Wu Yue, Wu Yue, it's really good.
Lu Yao smiled bitterly, the usual gentle mask can no longer be worn, since he was a child, his father told him that gentleness is the most powerful weapon, and you must learn to hide your true emotions under the surface of gentleness, so that no one knows what you think in your heart, and no one knows your weaknesses.
But my father, what should I do, Lu Yao thought, he didn't want it anymore! Pretend to be gentle and pretend not to care about anything.
Because he was about to lose something very important and important, but he still couldn't figure out what he had lost.
Isn't he, really a failure?
