MTMIO Chapter 35
by VolareShe searched many times, referring to Huang Zhixu’s name, or…?
Lu You hugged the small deer doll tightly, absentmindedly pinching its antlers, stopping her thoughts from wandering further.
No, no, no, it must be that she mentioned Huang Zhixu before, and Yue Yunxi became interested in Huang Zhixu’s songs, so she searched Huang Zhixu’s name online. The more she searched, the more she discovered she was a treasure, so she searched many times.
Yes, that must be it.
Lu You subconsciously breathed out.
It was a relaxation from the released pressure, but also like an accumulation of another emotion, like a subtle undercurrent surging beneath the seemingly calm surface of the water.
The phone screen lit up again.
Chen Feifei: [By the way, I forgot to ask during the day, where did you go with the goddess? You dressed up so nicely, and even asked me for a curling iron.]
YoYo: [Went to the Strawberry Music Festival in the neighboring city.]
Chen Feifei: [!!!]
Chen Feifei: [Okay, okay, you’re falling in love after living with the goddess for a few days, right!]
Those words startled Lu You, and she quickly sent a “?”.
Chen Feifei: [You don’t love me anymore, you didn’t even tell me, take me with you!]
YoYo: [ [Sweat] I only found out when I arrived at the destination.]
Chen Feifei: [Okay, okay, the goddess is so biased, not making it a group activity, secretly taking you alone [Despise]]
YoYo: [Maybe she thought it was far, since we’re no longer in Xicheng. It’s quite a hassle to get there, and the sun was almost setting when we arrived.]
After replying to the message, Lu You suddenly remembered the couple she met at the music festival, and secretly rejoiced that only the two of them went.
Otherwise, everyone would have heard Yue Yunxi’s elementary school classmate say, “Her mother is a murderer.”
But is Auntie Yue really a murderer?
Lu You remembered listening to the elders chatting about Auntie Yue and Uncle Tao living together without a marriage certificate. Once, she curiously asked Tao Xin, who said that her grandparents didn’t allow it.
Was it because of this that Tao Xin’s grandparents didn’t agree?
While thinking about this, two new messages popped up on the right side of the chat box. Lu You gathered her thoughts and looked at the screen.
Chen Feifei: [It’s okay, if it’s a group thing, we can go today and come back tomorrow, anyway, tomorrow is also free time, isn’t it?]
Chen Feifei: [I took a look at the lineup. If she had asked in the group, I definitely wouldn’t have thought it was a hassle, especially since Huang Zhixu is there.]
Lu You stared at these two messages, her hand hovering above the keypad, unable to press a single word.
Indeed, two days of free time is enough for a music festival trip.
Moreover, with Yue Yunxi’s meticulous and considerate way of doing things, even if she thought the journey was troublesome, she would have asked the others in the group for their opinions.
Tickets weren’t that hard to get either.
But Yue Yunxi didn’t mention a word.
Why?
Chen Feifei sent another message: [You said you only found out when you got there. Didn’t the goddess tell you where you were going before she took you?]
YoYo: [No, I asked, but she wouldn’t say. She only reminded me to dress nicely.]
Chen Feifei: [Wow, she’s creating a surprise for you. I’m so jealous. The goddess is so good to you.]
Lu You’s nerves seemed to be plucked.
She suddenly realized that she owed Yue Yunxi so much that she couldn’t repay her.
–“Your friend really spoils you.”
Huang Zhixu’s words flashed through her mind, as if in the night, which mixed the clear moonlight, the lead-grey sky, and the dim streetlights, a flash of blue-white lightning suddenly illuminated.
Making her thoughts even more complicated and chaotic.
Asking herself honestly, even during her last relationship, she and Tao Xin had never prepared such an experience for each other.
A dog’s bark approached from afar, passed the small courtyard, and gradually faded away.
Yue Yunxi was awakened by the noise. When she groggily opened her eyes, Lu You was holding her phone and turning over.
The phone screen emitted a faint white light, illuminating the space between the two.
Their eyes lightly collided across the thin light, and Yue Yunxi saw that Lu You’s eyes seemed to be tinged with a hint of panic.
She didn’t know if it was because of this momentary eye contact or because she was caught staying up late.
“Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
Still not fully awake, Yue Yunxi’s voice was a little soft and nasal, with a hint of sensual hoarseness.
Lu You’s ears twitched, but she didn’t say anything.
The phone screen she had been holding was dimming, about to turn off, when it suddenly lit up again.
Yue Yunxi subconsciously looked over.
A new message popped up on the left side of the chat window. Chen Feifei sent: [Sleepy, going to sleep.]
Only catching a glimpse of this, Lu You turned the phone over to look at the message.
“Go to sleep, don’t stay up too late.” Yue Yunxi’s voice gradually lowered, still drowsy. “Don’t you have to tune the piano for Teacher Zhong?”
She spoke unclearly, “Teacher Zhong” sounded like “Old Zhong.”
Lu You’s eyebrows jumped, her fingertip hovering over the lock screen button on the side of the phone.
She hadn’t mentioned the tuning for Zhong Shuyun to Yue Yunxi.
Did Teacher Zhong tell Yue Yunxi?
Staring blankly at Yue Yunxi for a moment, Lu You pressed the phone screen off, pursed her lips, and lightly “Mm”ed, turning her back to her.
Instinctively avoiding deep thought, she grabbed the small deer doll, closed her eyes, emptied her brain, and forced herself to fall asleep.
Yue Yunxi was dubious about her response and stubbornly waited for a while.
Seeing that the phone didn’t light up again, and hearing Lu You’s breathing become slow and steady, she let herself fall asleep.
In the second half of the night, Yue Yunxi slept restlessly, partly worried that she was staying up late again, and partly because meeting old acquaintances at the music festival made her dream of the past.
So did Lu You.
The various ways she and Yue Yunxi had interacted during this period were woven into her dreams in realistic form, pieced together into a dense net, shrouding her.
The shadows cast at each connection made her feel like she was walking on the road back to the Jingjiang Residential Complex on the night of the breakup. It was very long, the wet ground was stained with mottled lights, and a moon hung between the overgrown branches by the roadside.
In the hazy halo, the leaves on the branches swayed gently, creating an ambiguous atmosphere in the air.
It seemed that the moonlight was too seductive.
Whenever this happened, she turned around and saw Yue Yunxi standing not far behind her, tall and graceful, standing silently between light and shadow, gazing at her with gentle eyes.
ˉ
The net was so large that it seemed to have no boundaries. Under the shadow of the nth node in whichever direction she walked, Lu You began to wake up.
Half-asleep, she felt very hot.
Half of this heat came from the other person.
Lu You’s sleeping posture was really not good. The small deer doll that provided her with a sense of security had been thrown behind her, so at this moment, she was completely treating Yue Yunxi as a Pillow.
One hand was resting on the other person’s head, and the other was hugging the other person’s chest. Her legs, clad in shorts, were pressing against the other person’s legs. She was like a human padlock.
The delicate touch of skin against skin circulated in the exchange of body temperature, making the heat increasingly dry.
The rain from last night had stopped early, and the damp ground had been half-dried. The thin morning sunlight seeped through the curtains and flowed into the room, filtered and softened.
Lu You opened her eyes a crack.
The quilt was all on Yue Yunxi’s side, with only a small piece covering her abdomen. In her lowered sight, Yue Yunxi’s nightgown was wrinkled under her arm.
She wondered if she had pushed it up.
Further down, a triangle of blackness set off the whiteness of other parts like snow, coldly splashed into her eyes, freezing Lu You’s consciousness completely awake.
This was terrible…
She quickly removed herself from Yue Yunxi’s body, afraid of waking her up, and didn’t dare to breathe loudly, pulling the quilt back to its original position with limited movement.
She was so flustered that she didn’t notice that when she put the quilt back, Yue Yunxi turned to lie on her side and opened her eyes.
Even less would she know that Yue Yunxi curled up her body, and the hand in the quilt pulled the nightgown down, the palm covering the area on her thigh that had been pressed, her knees bent, her legs rubbed against each other, shifting position.
After changing her clothes, Lu You went to the front desk without stopping, asking if there were any vacant hourly rooms and booking one.
She tiredly threw herself onto the bed, but couldn’t fall asleep after tossing and turning.
Closing her eyes, her mind was filled with the extreme entanglement of black and white from just now. Opening her eyes, the details of her interactions over the past two months were intertwined with the dreams she hadn’t forgotten.
Her heartbeat and thoughts were as chaotic as could be
Her face was as pale as the wall she was facing.
ˉ
After staying in the hourly room for more than two hours, Lu You got up and washed up when the alarm clock rang. She ordered breakfast to be delivered to the small courtyard, dawdling as she wandered back.
She walked a short distance, doing a lot of mental preparation.
Laughter came from the west wing of the small courtyard. Chen Feifei and the others had already arrived, either standing and placing breakfast from the B&B’s small cart onto the table, or sitting, nodding off.
Similar to the previous mornings.
The only difference was that before, she would sit and wait for the others to come, closing her eyes and napping on Grandma’s shoulder. When Grandma nagged that she didn’t sleep at night and didn’t wake up during the day, she would lean towards Yue Yunxi’s side, give her a look, and Yue Yunxi would help her find two excuses to get by.
Until one time, Grandma said with the temper of a child: “You just indulge her!”
Auntie Li Can smiled and said: “That’s how sisters are. Our two are the same. When my daughter says something about Zhizhi, Lizi immediately protects her.”
“Yours are cousins, of course they’re close.” Grandma glanced at them, hummed, “But these two are about the same, indulging each other as if there’s no difference from real sisters!”
“They’re not related, but they have a pretty good relationship.”
Lu You was half asleep and didn’t listen carefully to how Grandma explained it later. She only remembered that after that day, Yue Yunxi didn’t speak up for her anymore.
At that time, she thought it was because Yue Yunxi was afraid of making Grandma unhappy, but now she tasted another clue.
“What’s wrong? Standing there dumbfounded.” Grandma urged her to come inside, pointing to the empty seat next to her and saying, “Come sit down.”
Lu You looked in the direction Grandma was pointing, her eyes involuntarily glancing slightly to the other side.
Yue Yunxi’s eyelashes lifted slightly, and she met her gaze across the table.
After only a few seconds, Lu You suddenly looked away, then closed the door behind her, her fingertips curling up, like an external trace of ideological struggle.
She still sat in that seat.
“Where did you go so early in the morning? You disappeared.” Grandma asked.
Lu You touched her nose and replied, “I went out for a walk…walk.”
She paused slightly in the middle, because bowls and plates were being placed in front of her one by one.
In the bowl was salty tofu pudding without cilantro, sprinkled with dried shrimp, pickled mustard tuber, and crispy yellow soybeans. Red and bright chili oil was smeared on the gravy; on the plate were pan-fried buns with reddish skin, which were obviously filled with shrimp; in the small dish was a dipping sauce made with green onion, garlic, millet pepper, oil, salt, and vinegar.
All of them were her favorite flavors.
Lu You was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes, and saw Yue Yunxi leaning forward, stretching out her hand from across the table to pick up two cups of soy milk.
Confirming that one of the labels said “sugar-free”, Yue Yunxi pushed the other cup towards Lu You.
Her expression was very calm, and her movements were casual, as if she was just conveniently getting a cup for Lu You.
Lu You said thank you, then, noticing the label on the cup wall that said “extra sugar”, her expression paused slightly.
Yue Yunxi glanced at her, her expression even calmer, even her teasing was, “You’re welcome, little Pinocchio.”
Lu You froze, truly stunned this time.
For a moment, she almost suspected that Yue Yunxi had woken up when she left in the morning, but then she glanced at the hand she had just couldn’t help but touch her nose with, and dismissed the idea.
Grandma nagged her for a few words, then began chatting with Auntie Li Can.
Yue Yunxi looked at her and asked, “So, where did you actually go this morning?”
Lu You’s fingertips moved.
She thought, if she forcefully suppressed her hand, could she lie without changing her expression? However, when the words came to her lips, her hand unconsciously wanted to raise.
More than twenty years of habit, it was really not so easy to correct.
Lu You lowered her eyes, staring at her slowly drooping knuckles, and confessed: “I went to open an hourly room.”
In the corner of her eye, Yue Yunxi’s hand, which was handing her the straw, stopped for a moment, “What did you open a room for?”
Lu You took the straw, unwrapped it, “I couldn’t sleep after waking up.”
She stuck one end of the straw into the soy milk cup, “I wanted to watch some videos.”
She put one end in her mouth, took a sip, “If I played them here, it would definitely disturb you.”
She broke the words apart, each sentence was true, but together they became a lie.
Yue Yunxi didn’t respond immediately.
Lu You was nervous because of her guilt.
Silence flowed between the two for a while before Yue Yunxi spoke in a flat voice, “You don’t have to worry about me today.”
Lu You’s tense nerves jumped twice because of this reply that she couldn’t decipher the emotion in.
“The performance in Venice may need to be rescheduled. I have to leave after breakfast,” Yue Yunxi explained.
So that’s how it was.
Lu You was like riding a pirate ship, swinging back to the original position from a high place, but she didn’t feel relaxed. What she felt was another kind of indescribable emotion.
The pan-fried dumplings dipped in the sauce and sent to her mouth had a complicated taste.
“Are you leaving this afternoon?” Yun Zhu asked. “Then who are you handing over the return-trip related matters to?”
Yue Yunxi’s eyes paused on Lu You’s face, then turned to Yun Zhu and said, “Let’s hand it over to you.”
Yun Zhu’s mouth twitched, and she sighed, holding her forehead, “Thank you for giving me such a difficult task.”
Chen Feifei clapped her hands with a smile, gloating, “Hand it over well! Hand it over well!”
“Good your head, huh.” Yun Zhu grabbed her hand and pressed it on the table, “You’re coming with me.”
Chen Feifei’s expression froze, and she uneasily pulled her hand from Yun Zhu’s restraint, “I’m not stupid!”
The warmth suddenly disappeared. Yun Zhu was stunned for a while, lowered her hand, and said in an annoyed tone, “You’re not smart either.”
“You’re smart, you’re smart. If you’re smart, don’t ask me to come with you.”
“That’s right, if I wasn’t smart, would I be looking for you?” Yun Zhu raised her eyebrows, and lazily raised her index finger at Chen Feifei, “Take you to rank up, watch the escape room with you tonight, one word, do you want to?”
Chen Feifei looked conflicted. After a few seconds, she closed her eyes and compromised: “Yes!”
She tapped Yun Zhu’s fingertip with her index finger, “It’s a deal, huh.”
Yun Zhu’s fingertip curled slightly.
“Is that the scary show?” Jian Yanzhi asked.
“Uh-huh.” Yun Zhu put down her hand and complained, “You don’t know, this person shouts so loudly every time. The NPCs in there aren’t as scary as her. She’s so scared, but she pulls me to watch it every day. After watching it, she hugs me to sleep, and wakes me up in the middle of the night to accompany her to the bathroom.”
Chen Feifei pouted: “Isn’t that because you’re brave? Just taking the opportunity to squeeze you.”
Yun Zhu chuckled, “Okay, you just squeeze. I’ll see what you do when you sleep alone later.”
Li Can jokingly interjected: “You’ll get used to it~”
Lu You absentmindedly stared at the oil dish on the table, listening with one ear and not the other. Suddenly, she heard Yue Yunxi’s voice sound low in her ear.
“You sleep alone at night…”
The whispered tone was so light that it was like speaking a secret.
But Lu You heard it clearly. In the cut-off ending sound, she seemed to be able to hear the drumming in her heart.
Before Yue Yunxi continued, she turned her head and asked: “What?”
Their eyes lightly collided.
She didn’t know if the sunlight was too bright or if the inkiness of her pupils was too deep, but Yue Yunxi actually sensed a hint of panic in them.
After a moment of silence, Yue Yunxi looked away, and said in a deep voice: “Close the doors and windows properly, and don’t turn the air conditioner too low.”
The tone was so natural, as if what she originally wanted to say was just such a meticulous word of advice.
But Lu You felt it wasn’t.
She lowered her head, rolled her throat, and squeezed out a “Okay.”
On the other side, Chen Feifei had already decided to be Yun Zhu’s little assistant, and Yun Zhu’s mood obviously improved, her tone rising: “Old Yue is departing to Venice, Yoyo’s grandma and Lizi are communicating knitting at home, what about the others, what are your plans for today?”
“Mommy invited Sister to tune that old piano in the old house, and let me go home with Sister then!” Zhong Mi raised her hand and said.
Li Can said: “Zhizhi and I are preparing to go to a nearby horse farm to play in the afternoon.”
“When is Xiaolu going to Teacher Zhong’s house to tune the piano?” Yun Zhu asked.
Lu You put down the spoon for scooping tofu pudding, “This afternoon, I guess.”
Yun Zhu thought for a moment, and suggested: “After breakfast, grandma and grandma can rest in the yard, why don’t we send Old Yue to the airport together?”
Yue Yunxi felt it wasn’t necessary, and was about to decline when Li Can and Chen Feifei, two impatient people, had already agreed.
Then, Lu You also nodded in agreement.
Yue Yunxi withdrew her gaze from her face, lightly pursed her lips, and swallowed all the words back.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Yun Zhu contacted the driver who had taken them to visit Xicheng to pick them up.
After finishing their meal, they chatted about the Venice orchestra lineup for a while, and a group of people went to the entrance of the homestay to wait for the car to arrive.
In the dog days of summer, the sun was scorching hot, and everything in the field of vision was photographed into high exposure. There was no place to shade at the entrance of the homestay, and seven people stood under the sunlight like stone pillars.
Yun Zhu held a small fan to her face, squinting at Yue Yunxi and saying: “This hot, sunny weather, we still worked hard to send you to the airport, you tell me, is it true love?”
Yue Yunxi hooked her lips: “Is it?”
“What is ‘is it’, remove ‘is it’, remove ‘is it’.” Yun Zhu shouted, “This is definitely true love, come back and treat us to dinner.”
Chen Feifei: “Why are you always messing with my goddess, it was obviously your idea, you treat us to dinner!”
Li Can echoed: “That’s right, Yun, the rich woman, take us to see high-end restaurants.”
The focus shifted from Yue Yunxi, she turned her face to look at Lu You, and the corners of her mouth narrowed.
Lu You was not wearing a hat, and her sunscreen clothing was a shirt style, so she had to lower her head, block with one hand in front of her forehead, and swipe her phone with the other.
In fact, before going out, she had prepared to go back to the house to get the straw hat Yue Yunxi bought for her, but when she turned her head and saw Yue Yunxi wearing the same hat, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly didn’t want to.
Just regretting, a shadow suddenly covered her, and a touch of white entered her eyes. Lu You came back to her senses, lowered her hand in surprise, raised her face, and saw Yue Yunxi buckle her hat on her head.
The ends of the straw hat were hung with lace woven straps. Yue Yunxi hooked them with her fingers and tied them for her, her curved knuckles resting against her chin, lifting it up a little.
So in Lu You’s field of vision, Yue Yunxi’s eyes were included.
Her eyes were really beautiful.
The inner narrow and outer wide double eyelids, the corners of the eyes slightly upturned, like opening a small folding fan, a little inconspicuous light brown beauty mole attached to the left eye, can only be seen from a very close distance.
Like now.
The most unique thing was the pair of amber glazed beads, always reflecting a few scattered spots of light, full of tenderness.
Just lowering her eyelashes and looking at you, it was as if she was gently hiding you in her eyes.
Lu You recalled the eye contact she had received every time she turned around in her dream.
The pair of gentle eyes in her mind gradually overlapped with reality as Yue Yunxi lifted her eyelids.
Yue Yunxi looked at her and asked, “Why didn’t you wear a hat?”
Lu You was startled, came back to her senses, and said, “I forgot.”
Yue Yunxi’s gaze followed her down and said: “Your nose is going to get longer.”
“…” Lu You was aroused by her firm tone, raised her eyebrows, “My nose itches.”
If she wasn’t afraid of revealing her lies, she would have applauded and cheered for herself. The reason she thought of was simply seamless, but unfortunately it was a one-time excuse.
Yue Yunxi didn’t speak.
In order to increase credibility, Lu You scratched her nose again, and almost made her nose really itchy.
After a while, she still didn’t hear Yue Yunxi speak, her momentum subsided, and she said in a muffled voice: “Really.”
Yue Yunxi sighed almost imperceptibly, didn’t expose her, just said tentatively: “Oh, I thought you didn’t like it.”
“No, I like it a lot.”
Lu You immediately denied. This time, she didn’t touch her nose with her hand.
Yue Yunxi’s eyes swept across her face, her eyebrows and eyes stretched, released her hand and said: “It’s good if you like it.”
Lu You lowered her head, and only then did she find a big bow hanging under her chin: “…”
So silly.
But she didn’t dare to take it off directly, after all, Yue Yunxi had only tied it for her for less than a minute.
“Give me the hat, aren’t you afraid of the sun?” Lu You asked.
Yue Yunxi took out a deer head handle umbrella from her bag and said: “There is also this.”
Lu You thought, then why did she wear the hat, wouldn’t it be better to use an umbrella?
Then she recalled that this umbrella had shielded her from the rain, and asked: “Rain umbrella, can it block the sun?”
“It can be used for both sunny and rainy days.” Yue Yunxi estimated that the car was coming soon, so she didn’t open the umbrella.
Lu You stared at the umbrella in her hand and blinked, and discussed: “I’ll give you the hat, can I use an umbrella?”
“No.” Yue Yunxi refused softly but decisively.
Lu You stopped her hand that was about to tear off the bow, puzzled and puzzled: “Why?”
“You have sunscreen clothing.” Yue Yunxi paused, “Are you going to take off your sunscreen clothing and give it to me?”
Half joking, half serious tone, gentle intonation that didn’t use much force to speak, as if it had a hooked, upturned tail, making this sentence reveal a bit of flirtatious ambiguity.
Lu You put her hands in the pockets of the sunscreen clothing, gathered it in front of her body, turned her back and said sullenly: “Don’t.”
After saying that, she moved to Chen Feifei’s side, as if afraid that Yue Yunxi would force her to change.
But her ears were sensitive, and before she left, she heard a soft laugh.
So, the sprouts that had been hard to settle down suddenly floated up again.
The minibus quickly arrived, and everyone got on the bus one after another. Chen Feifei was also preparing to go over, and Lu You pulled her.
Chen Feifei turned her head in confusion, her eyes falling on the bow under her chin: “Why is there such a silly bow tied?”
Lu You: “…”
“Chen Feifei!” Yun Zhu stood by the car door and called Chen Feifei, asking: “Are you going to play some games later?”
“Yes yes yes, wait for me for a while!” Chen Feifei took out her mobile phone and asked Lu You: “By the way, you just pulled me, what did you want to say?”
Lu You scanned her phone, closed her tired eyes, “Forget it, let’s talk about it when we get back.”
Chen Feifei touched the back of her head blankly, belatedly realizing that Lu You really had something to say, and asked: “What’s the matter?”
“I can’t explain it clearly for a while.” Lu You yawned, “Get in the car.”
Inside the car, Li Can and the others were seated according to the positions they had been going out in these two days. Lu You’s footsteps paused slightly, and she sat in the empty seat next to Yue Yunxi.
It was almost an hour’s drive from the B&B to the airport.
Lu You hadn’t slept enough in the morning, and didn’t want to chat with Yue Yunxi, afraid that her heart would become very chaotic again, so she took off her straw hat, leaned back against the back of the chair and took a nap.
Before putting the hat on her face to block the light, she saw Yue Yunxi take out a paper music score that was bound into a book from her bag.
Lu You closed her eyes and slept for a while, and the hat that was used to block the light slipped off her face, fell on the back of her hand, and was hugged into her arms by her.
The car curtains were not tightly drawn, and the sunlight leaked in through a half-finger-wide gap, just shining on her eyelids.
She frowned, turned her face away to avoid the sunlight.
The car made a big turn, the direction changed, the sun slipped to the other side, there was no one on the seat on that side, the curtains were not drawn, and the sunlight shone brightly on her face through the glass window opposite the aisle.
It was even sunnier than before.
Lu You turned her face back again.
She didn’t know which turn, her head tilted and rested on Yue Yunxi’s shoulder.
After a while, the sunlight baked her eyelids again, Lu You’s eyebrows lightly frowned, and she captured the rustling sound of paper rubbing against the air.
Then, the sense of light through her eyelids dimmed.
Lu You drowsily thought that the direction of travel had changed again, she didn’t care too much, and continued to sleep for a while.
The car drove into the urban area, and there were red lights at several intersections in a row. In the opening and stopping, Lu You’s head rubbed down from Yue Yunxi’s shoulder, and then her cheek fell into a soft coolness.
Lu You struggled in her sleepiness for a few seconds and lifted her eyelids.
She saw Yue Yunxi holding her face with her right hand, her left arm resting on the edge of the car window, and the music score she was holding high was just blocking the gap in the curtain.
She didn’t know how long she had been holding such an awkward posture.
Lu You’s eyelashes fluttered gently, and her heartbeat skipped two beats.
Noticing that she sat up straight, Yue Yunxi tilted her head to look at her, saw her opening her eyes, and asked with concern: “What’s wrong? Are you carsick?”
Lu You slowed down, shook her head and said: “Not…didn’t sleep enough.”
A clear arc appeared at the corner of Yue Yunxi’s lips, “Sleep a little longer, I’ll call you when we get there.”
Lu You moved her lips, wanting to say something but stopped. After a moment, she just “mm”ed in a low voice, made a tired posture, and tilted to the other side to “sleep”.
Li Can and Jian Yanzhi in the car should also be asleep, there was no movement, Chen Feifei and the other three were playing games in the back, occasionally scolding their teammates in a low voice.
Lu You closed her eyes, and in the silence, she seemed to be able to hear her heart beating.
Before, she always thought that Yue Yunxi was so considerate to her friends, until this time, when they traveled together, she realized that it was not.
Yue Yunxi was very gentle, had a good temper, and would try her best to meet everyone’s needs, but she wouldn’t actively and thoughtfully take care of people.
Except for her.
It was like feeling out the end of the thread from a ball of cotton thread, following it down, but it became more and more chaotic.
After that, Lu You didn’t move her head to the side of the aisle, and her neck was stiff when she got out of the car.
A group of people sent Yue Yunxi to the security check, chatting and killing time.
Yun Zhu remembered and asked: “Then how long are you staying there?”
Yue Yunxi said: “If there are no accidents, five days.”
Li Can calculated the corresponding date: “Zhizhi and I can’t pick you up, it’s Grandma’s birthday that day.”
“I can’t either, there’s a performance.” Yun Zhu said.
Zhong Mi said “Ah” in distress, regretting: “Without bamboo with me, Mommy and Mom will definitely not let me go out.”
Yue Yunxi didn’t care, and smiled and said: “It’s okay.”
The sudden broadcast ended the topic, Yue Yunxi looked at her watch, and said: “I have to go to check my ticket.”
She turned her head towards Lu You as she spoke.
Lu You was traveling in her thoughts when she suddenly remembered, and handed the hat back to Yue Yunxi: “I almost forgot.”
Yue Yunxi didn’t take it, and said softly: “Return it to me when you pick me up.”
After a slight pause, as if she had just found out that Lu You hadn’t said whether she was free that day, Yue Yunxi lowered her voice and asked to confirm: “Will you come to pick me up?”
Careful and apprehensive.
She lowered her eyes, as if lowering her lonely soul.
Faced with such Yue Yunxi, Lu You really couldn’t say no.
Especially since such a request was not excessive at all.
Hesitating for a few seconds, Lu You nodded.
A smile spread across Yue Yunxi’s eyes, the corners of her lips raised, and her smile was like a blooming flower.
Lu You awkwardly turned her eyes away. The next second, Chen Feifei slapped her shoulder hard, startling her.
“Then you will be the only one to pick her up that day. I have to take my mother to get checked out.” Chen Feifei entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, “You are the representative of our seven golden flowers, and you must safely escort our Moon Goddess back.”
“…Seven golden flowers, Moon Goddess, what era are you from?” Yun Zhu said in a difficult way.
“From the same era as you.”
“.”
“Then what should we call it?”
“Seven Fairies?”
“Don’t, I get embarrassed just hearing it.”
“Seven Dragon Balls!”
“Big Dipper Seven Stars!”
Yun Zhu, Li Can and Zhong Mi said one sentence each, and Lu You’s face was paralyzed. She interrupted them and said, “…Let’s just call it golden flowers.”
That dejected expression and compromising words made Jian Yanzhi, who had the highest sense of humor, couldn’t help but chuckle.
Yue Yunxi also turned her face away, and from her slightly trembling shoulder, she could tell that she was also laughing.
Lu You’s expression on her face was even more paralyzed: “Hurry up and check your ticket, big flower.”
Yue Yunxi turned her face, and was as paralyzed as her: “…”
A group of people laughed again.
In such an atmosphere, Lu You quickly threw all the chaotic thoughts behind her.
She even attributed the thread pulled from the details to an over-sensitive illusion.
But illusions will always be corrected.
It’s just that she didn’t expect it to come so quickly.
