MTMIO Chapter 62
by VolareChapter 62: Cherry Red
The good parking spots were reserved for guests, and Lu You’s car was parked far away, near the entrance of the resort.
The three of them walked side-by-side, the atmosphere flowing in the gaps between their shoulders and arms indescribably awkward, the air seeming thinner.
As if out of instinct, Lu You couldn’t help but slow down half a step.
Yue Yunxi noticed it immediately, and as she turned her head to look over, her footsteps paused slightly, “Have you had breakfast?”
Lu You nodded, just about to ask Yue Yunxi.
“That’s rare, the lazybones actually got up early for breakfast.” Tao Xin interjected, “Sister, have you had breakfast yet? I have some cookies here, do you want some?”
Both sentences seemed very intimate, eliciting different effects in different ears.
Someone minded the first half of the sentence, the usual gentleness, as if cooled by the autumn wind, revealing a bit of distance and politeness: “I’ve already eaten, thank you.”
Someone cared about the second half, muttering in their heart: Calling her sister, but her mind is wild.
After hearing Yue Yunxi’s answer, she added: So polite.
After a moment, she also evaluated herself: Like a wronged wife.
Ending the rich psychological activity, Lu You lowered her head, watching the mottled sunlight on the ground shorten the shadows.
In a daze, she couldn’t help but recall the past, countless scenes like this.
In addition to nostalgia and loss, she vaguely felt an unspeakable emotion.
Because for a moment, she was wondering, in that time of secret love where she couldn’t see the light of day, what was Yue Yunxi’s mood when she traveled with them?
“What are you thinking about?” Yue Yunxi asked.
Lu You came back to her senses and looked at her.
Her eyes, which hadn’t had time to gather her emotions, were like the mist permeating Berlin, hazily enveloping her, making people sad just by looking at them.
“I was thinking, the weather is so nice, it feels like summer hasn’t passed yet.”
So… she hasn’t let go yet?
Yue Yunxi’s gaze lingered on her face for a moment, her eyelashes half-lowered, casting a small shadow on her eyelids.
The wind, carrying the scent of laurel, stirred up dust and brushed against her face. Lu You turned her head to avoid it, smoothed the stray hair covering her eyes, and tucked it behind her ear.
In her sight, the plane tree leaves were swaying in the wind, already dyed yellow.
Lu You heard the sound of it peeling away from the branch.
A heartbeat belonging to autumn.
–
It happened to be the first day of National Day, and the cars returning home were jammed into a long dragon. The harsh sound of horns occasionally poured in through the car windows, briefly breaking the quiet, slightly oppressive atmosphere in the car.
Lu You rested one hand on the steering wheel, and took the opportunity to glance sideways at the passenger seat while looking in the rearview mirror.
Sunlight penetrated the car window in the passenger seat, illuminating a ray of light. Yue Yunxi sat in it, leaning against the back of the chair, tilting her head to look out the window. Her profile to Lu You, followed the clouds, being illuminated sometimes brightly and sometimes dimly.
When bright, it was like gold leaping on a calm lake; when dark, it was like a quiet shadow sinking into jade. Both made it impossible to distinguish her expression clearly.
The car moved forward a few meters, then had to stop again.
Lu You couldn’t help but tap the steering wheel with her index finger, a little irritable.
It wasn’t entirely because of the traffic jam.
She could feel that Yue Yunxi’s mood was not right.
Even though Yue Yunxi would participate when she tried to ease the overly solidified atmosphere with small talk.
But she was obviously talking less.
It always gave her a feeling of being aloof.
When did it start?
It seemed to be after she said the weather was nice.
Lu You couldn’t figure out why it would suddenly be like this, only feeling that in the enclosed space, the silence of the three people compressed the air even thinner, making it suffocating.
Time became long and unbearable.
This torment continued until they met up with Bo Mingyan.
Bo Mingyan brought her roommate, who was also her part-time boss, who looked even younger than Lu You had imagined. Her oval face was as white and clean as porcelain, and her almond-shaped eyes were light and sparkling, elegant yet lively.
Her temperament was special, and particularly familiar.
“Hello, my name is Meng Xuran.” Meng Xuran reached out her hand, introducing herself, “I’m—Manman’s, new friend~”
Her voice was also special, and particularly familiar.
Lu You shook her hand and when she let go, she suddenly remembered: “You’re the customer who sang at Lost Deer that day!”
Meng Xuran nodded, her eyes crinkling up, containing an ambiguous smile, “Thank you for the wine you sent me that day.”
“You’re welcome, you sang especially well!” Lu You thought, her childhood friend has always been clumsy, and she can only do this kind of flattery for the leader, so she touched her nose and said, “After you left, Manman also praised you, saying it was simply the voice of angels.”
Sure enough, the leader was very pleased, and her eyes became bright, “Really!”
Bo Mingyan coughed a few times, noticed Yue Yunxi, and gave Lu You a look, signaling her to introduce her.
“This is Tao Xin’s older sister… Yue Yunxi…”
As soon as the words came out, Lu You regretted it.
Such an introduction was as if she had never kept Yue Yunxi’s contributions in her heart, erasing all the traces of the two people’s time together over the past few days, and declaring that their relationship had never taken a step forward, always remaining at the starting point.
Although she had a reason, and her intention was not to draw a clear line, she unintentionally hurt people’s feelings.
Lu You hurriedly looked over.
Seeing Yue Yunxi’s clear and dignified eyes behind her, hidden under her long eyelashes, she noticed her gaze, and lightly lifted them. The emotions that flashed inside were like cracks on ice, bringing a chill.
Lu You’s heart clenched.
That short-lived emotion, like the sharp edge of paper cutting across her fingertip, left a slanted wound, a faint pain, subtle, but impossible to ignore.
Yue Yunxi’s gaze fell on her frowning face, squeezing out a smile that only remained at the corners of her mouth, “I saw the sign outside said that during the holidays, entry will be arranged in batches. Let’s talk more inside.”
The squeezing pain in her heart hadn’t faded away, and Lu You was stabbed by this stiff smile again. Her throat was blocked by a mouthful of air, and in her chest, her heart was sinking heavily.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t find a chance to explain. Tao Xin had been clinging to them, like a dog skin plaster.
Before entering, Lu You took out her phone from her bag, had a flash of inspiration, unlocked the screen and went into WeChat.
After sending the message, she spied on Yue Yunxi’s movements out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing Yue Yunxi sitting on a soft stool to change her shoes, tying her shoelaces into bows, she never took out her phone to take a look.
Poor signal? Hasn’t she received it yet?
Lu You breathed a sigh of relief, moved over and sat down, opened her mouth.
“Sister, can you ice skate?” Tao Xin sat down on the other side of Yue Yunxi.
Lu You pursed her lips, thinking, what does it matter if she can.
Yue Yunxi hummed.
“?! When did you learn? How come I don’t know!”
Lu You slandered while changing her shoes, does she have to report everything to you?
Yue Yunxi replied flatly: “When I was in college, I learned it abroad.”
Tao Xin giggled twice, and said coquettishly: “Good sister, then teach me.”
Lu You’s heart skipped a beat, and the hand tying her shoelaces paused, pricking up her ears, anxiously waiting for Yue Yunxi’s answer.
Waiting time, second by second, she was like plucking invisible rose petals, praying that the last petal would be a rejection.
But she also knew that it was unlikely to directly refuse.
Even if there was no blood relationship, she was a younger sister who had lived under the same roof, calling her “sister” for more than ten years.
They had conflicts, argued, but also took care of each other.
When the adults were not at home, Yue Yunxi had dysmenorrhea, a cold, and a fever in the middle of the night, and Tao Xin was there to take care of her.
She had heard some similar things from Tao Xin or from Yue Shao.
So she knew very well that Yue Yunxi couldn’t ignore Tao Xin, even if she knew the reason for Tao Xin’s breakup with her, even if she liked her.
Lu You couldn’t find a suitable adjective to describe her mood. Awkward, contradictory, subtle, and even distorted were not enough.
It was childish for someone to ask an innocent third party to take sides in a conflict between two people.
Clearly, even she herself couldn’t completely sever friendship outside of love.
But she hoped that Yue Yunxi could give her more favor.
She took Yue Yunxi’s kindness for granted, didn’t give enough response, and was still greedy, wanting more.
She was somewhat self-loathing, self-doubting.
Was she worthy of being liked by such a good Yue Yunxi?
At the same time, there was also a little apprehension.
If Yue Yunxi knew that Tao Xin actually liked her, knew that Shi Ye was actually written for her, what would be the reaction?
Would she empathize with Tao Xin because of a similar secret love experience, and would she be moved by the sincerity in it, just like when she first heard Eat wild?
Would she be as indecisive as her, hesitant, thinking that it would be better for the three of them not to be together…
“Someone is asking to learn even when they’re in debt. I can’t be in multiple places, so I can only teach one person.” Yue Yunxi’s tone was flat, and her refusal was euphemistic.
Euphemistic to the point where it didn’t sound like a refusal, but like helplessness.
Lu You felt even more confused, and inexplicably annoyed, burning a ball of stuffy air in her chest.
She originally wanted to find her all-powerful childhood friend to teach her to skate.
But when she turned her head, she saw that the small CEO who ran a listed company was trembling and standing on the ice, clutching Bo Mingyan, wishing she could hang on her,jiaodidi, acting like a spoiled child:
“The ice surface is so hard, it must hurt so much to fall on it. I’m very precious, and I can’t afford to fall even a little.”
These words were interesting. Lu You silently curled her lips, lowered her eyes to look at the ice, and the curve converged, her eyes losing focus, and her thoughts outlined a pair of freezing eyes.
She felt like an electric kettle, cooking with complicated emotions, continuously heating up.
When her thoughts returned, Tao Xin was standing in front of her, asking her to find Bo Mingyan to teach her.
This aroused a sense of crisis in the young CEO who was occupying Bo Mingyan, and she told her in a bad tone to hire a coach.
In fact, no one wanted to be taught by a coach, but no one said it clearly, so it evolved into no one wanting to spend money to hire one.
In the end, Yue Yunxi came to smooth things over: “I’ll hire one.”
Bo Mingyan went with her to the service desk to choose a coach.
The ice blades under her feet slid on the ice extremely smoothly, giving people the illusion that skating was very simple.
Lu You tried to chase after her, but after sliding only two steps, she directly knelt down. Her palms were icy, and she didn’t know if her knees were broken, but they were faintly painful.
Fortunately, she wasn’t far from the railing, so she reached out to grab it, and struggled to stand up, pretending that nothing had happened, and turned her head to see what everyone else was doing.
On the left, Tao Xin did a split on the ice, and her posture when getting up was even worse than hers.
Lu You’s heart was balanced.
Looking to the right again, Meng Xuran was holding onto the railing, moving a small step, taking a big breath, glanced at her, and gave an awkward smile: “I wanted to help you, are you okay? Does it hurt?”
Meng Xuran glanced at the ice surface, as if she couldn’t imagine what it would be like to fall on it, her brows tightened, and when she looked at her again, a few points of sympathy surged in her eyes.
Lu You shook her head, and looked at the back view of someone standing in front of the service desk across the entire ice rink.
She thought, it’s a good thing shaking her head won’t make her unable to resist touching her nose.
It really hurts.
–
Posters of the coaches were posted on the wall behind the service desk, and there was only one female coach, and the poster was posted at the end.
The photo was a little familiar.
Yue Yunxi stared at the poster, hesitating.
“Just hire coaches for Yoyo and Tao Xin.”
Yue Yunxi turned her head in the direction of the voice.
Bo Mingyan slowed down and slid to a stop next to her. Her smoky green eyes met her and said: “Meng Xuran doesn’t need one.”
Yue Yunxi responded with a “okay,” and greeted her: “I often hear Yoyo mention you.”
Bo Mingyan only nodded as a response, saying nothing.
Not answering meant that she had never heard Lu You mention her.
But she should have heard Lu You mention Tao Xin many times, because no introduction was needed when they met.
Even her introduction had to be defined by Tao Xin.
Yue Yunxi looked away, her long eyelashes casting a dim light, her fingers curled up quietly, and after a moment, she adjusted her breathing before opening her mouth: “Are you sure your friend doesn’t need a coach?”
“No need.” Bo Mingyan said, “That person is both arrogant and delicate, and ordinary people can’t teach her.”
Yue Yunxi smiled, raised her finger and pointed at the female coach’s poster, scheduled an hour of 1v1 introductory lessons for Tao Xin, took out her phone to scan the code, glanced lightly at the new message reminder hanging on the screen, and paid the money.
Her index finger rested on the screen off button, pausing for a moment, marking it with traces of struggle. She still clicked into the WeChat interface.
Coward: [I only told Manman on the phone this morning that today is a Shura field, and didn’t say anything else.]
Coward: [That’s why I introduced you like that…]
Coward: [It’s just a sentence to let her understand the situation, there’s no other meaning]
Coward: [Cat cat pitiful S attribute bursts out sad.jpg]
Coward: [Don’t be unhappy]
Yue Yunxi swiped the screen with her thumb, staying on the words “S attribute” on the emoticon.
Really…
Just a light sentence could make her hong wen, red temperature, meaning flustered/embarrassed.
Not enough, she had to send five cowards, each bringing a flavor, making her feel mixed,huan de huan shi, worrying about gains and losses.
Bo Mingyan asked the cashier for a set of pink turtle anti-fall pads, noticed the coach’s poster, and turned to look at Yue Yunxi.
The female coach named “Xiaoxiao” at the end had eyebrows and eyes in the photo that were similar to Yue Yunxi.
At first glance, they looked three points alike, but after looking at it for a while, she felt that it was because of the makeup, and they were not so alike.
Noticing Bo Mingyan looking at her, Yue Yunxi asked: “What’s wrong?”
Bo Mingyan withdrew her gaze from the poster: “Yoyo doesn’t like men.”
“I know.” Yue Yunxi put away her phone and said, “I’ll teach her.”
Bo Mingyan nodded, without asking another question, just holding the turtle pad that was very incongruous with her temperament and said: “I’ll go back first.”
This person spoke very little, with a kind of world-weary feeling, and only when talking about Meng Xuran would she appear more lively.
Then could she assume that Lu You had actually mentioned her, but this childhood friend had no interest in remembering or chatting about it?
Meaningless self-deception.
Yue Yunxi gave a self-deprecating laugh, feeling a sourness rising in her chest, surging to her throat, so that every roll was as rusty as astringent.
She turned back, looked around, and was stunned.
Three or four meters away, Lu You was holding onto the railing on the right, moving slowly towards this side step by step.
Suddenly stopping, turning around and looking up.
On the ice surface where their gazes met, the scratch marks curved and connected the two ends.
Like a flexible rope, the word “love” didn’t know how many people’s hearts it hurt.
–
Yue Yunxi was in the middle of the ice rink.
Lu You estimated that no matter how she went around the railing, she would have to skate a section without holding onto anything to get to Yue Yunxi’s side.
The shortest route was to let go of the railing now and cross over.
After crawling over like a turtle all the way, she felt that if she was a little slower, she should be fine without holding onto the railing.
Lu You let go of the hand holding the railing, and her foot moved forward an inch before stopping, urgently withdrawing a “feeling”.
Because of the experience of sliding and kneeling at the beginning, she still had lingering fears.
While she was doing self-guidance, Yue Yunxi had already skated over here, stopping two or three steps away from her, and asked her: “How did you get here?”
It felt like she was trying to find something to say.
Lu You didn’t like this chatting atmosphere, as if she suddenly became estranged, and muttered listlessly: “How else could I get here? I crawled over…”
Yue Yunxi laughed lightly.
Lu You rolled her throat, opened her mouth, and her lowered eyes swept over Yue Yunxi’s jeans pocket.
A corner of the phone case was exposed, which hadn’t been there before.
When she was hiring a coach and paying, she should have seen the message she sent, right?
“Has the coach been booked?” Lu You’s hand reached the railing again, but she didn’t grab it firmly, so she would have more security.
“It’s been booked.” Yue Yunxi said, “There’s only one female coach, so I let her teach Tao Xin.”
Lu You: “…”
Who asked about that.
The only female coach was given to Tao Xin.
The stuffy air that had been diluted by time in waiting gathered again, becoming a few points stronger.
Lu You pursed her lips, “What about me?”
“Forgot.” Yue Yunxi’s tone seemed to fade.
Lu You: “…”
“Do you really want a coach to teach you?”
Lu You didn’t say anything, afraid that if she said she didn’t, she would miss the chance to have Yue Yunxi teach her, afraid that if she said she did, Yue Yunxi would misunderstand and really find her a real coach.
But Yue Yunxi still misunderstood, taking her silence as a default.
“There are only male coaches left, do you mind if I book one for you now?”
How gentle, how considerate.
Lu You’s throat felt blocked, paused for a long time, and said angrily: “Do you not know whether I mind or not?”
Yue Yunxi smiled and asked: “Then what should I do?”
Lu You lowered her head, rubbing the ice surface with the ice blade on the sole of her shoe, scraping out a few points of stuffy air, and speaking with thorns: “Teacher Yue, you really are forgetful.”
Yue Yunxi was stunned for a moment, reacted, and laughed lowly. Lu You’s jaw was slightly raised, and finally saw a faint trace of joy in her eyes, and her eyes looking at people were like ice melting, a little clearer.
Although it wasn’t appropriate to think this way, Lu You couldn’t help it.
She deserved some of it.
“Come here.” Yue Yunxi called her.
It was only two steps away, but Yue Yunxi didn’t take a step, just guiding her with her voice, waiting for her to take the initiative to go over.
Lu You stopped in place and didn’t move, “What for?”
“To compensate you.” Yue Yunxi said, “The debt is completely waived.”
“I care.” Lu You became presumptuous, “Forced melons are not sweet.”
Hearing this, the expression on Yue Yunxi’s face was like it had been paused, a moment of blankness, not knowing what she was thinking, for a long time before she opened her mouth, “How do you know it’s not sweet if you don’t taste it?”
Her voice was low, saying the words to her, but also like saying them to herself.
A sharp scream came from a distance, Lu You turned her head and saw Tao Xin pulling off the female coach’s wig, and pointing her finger at the person’s nose, not knowing what she was saying.
Lu You retracted her eyes, and when she stopped grabbing Yue Yunxi’s hand, she heard a sigh.
It was probably because she also saw what Tao Xin had done.
Lu You inexplicably thought of a certain night in college, when she saw the girl on the opposite bed being angered to tears by hermei kong, sister complex boyfriend, she persuaded her a few words.
As a result, the girl said with pear blossoms and rain: “That’s what it’s like to like someone. You’re unhappy in every way, but you’ll still pretend to be generous for him. I can’t help but like him, and I can’t tell him not to want his younger sister for me.”
At that time, she was still thinking, love brain,cha chu qu ba, get out.
Now she thinks, sure enough, you only know what’s hot when the hot water is sprinkled on you.
“When you turn back, do you want to remind her not to be recognized, take a photo and send it to the hot search?”
The hand that was holding was grabbed tightly, and Lu You took it as the other party’s response, andpie le pie zui, curled her lips.
Sure enough, that sigh was worried about Tao Xin.
“Legs, apart, don’t keep them so close together, you’ll fall backwards easily.”
“I sent you a WeChat message, you… did you see it? I, I introduced you as Tao—”
“Very good, yes, that’s right, follow my rhythm, relax, slow down.”
“Tao—”
“Concentrate.” Yue Yunxi’s tone became heavier, revealing a bit of coldness.
Lu You couldn’t concentrate at all, anxiously raised her eyes to look for hers, and asked in one breath: “Why are you always reading and replying randomly, did you see it or not?”
The ice skates under her feet didn’t listen to her, and slid straight forward, and Yue Yunxi put her arms around her waist to stop.
The warm breath intertwined at the tip of her nose with every slowed breath. Lu You’s eyelashes trembled, and she lowered them. In her lowered vision, were Yue Yunxi’s lips.
Cherry-like color, full and rosy, opening and closing to say: “Saw it.”
“Then…” Lu You swallowed and asked, “Are you still angry?”
The light in Yue Yunxi’s eyes, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, rippled slightly, and after a moment of pleasure, it slowly tended towards a kind of lifelessness.
Yue Yunxi let go of her, re-held her hand, and told her to continue learning to skate forward, calmly and gently saying: “Actually, it’s not wrong to introduce you like that.”
Lu You suddenly couldn’t tell whether this was soothing her after the anger subsided, or deliberately showing an indifferent appearance to stimulate her?
“If you are so absent-minded, I’m afraid even if time runs out, I won’t be able to teach you anything.”
Lu You low “Oh”ed, said: “Teacher Yue, you can’t do it, don’t blame me for not concentrating.”
It was quite a rogueshuai guo, shirking responsibility, just a joke, originating from her wanting to test what kind of mood Yue Yunxi was hiding in her words just now.
But she felt the thin, warm temperature that didn’t belong to her suddenly leave her hand.
Yue Yunxihua rao, skated around to her side, and waved her hand in a “please” gesture.
She was just short of saying: If you can do it, you do it.
“…”
Lu You skated two steps, and the facts proved that you can’t be distracted in class. The teacher taught for more than an hour, and she didn’t make any progress at all.
Looking back at the teaching content, connecting it, she accidentally let her thoughts split and went wrong.
Lu You didn’t dare to go forward any more, turned her head to look at someone who didn’t care, watched silently for a moment, and could bend and stretch: “You can do it, you can do it, you’re the best. Good sister, teach me.”
yin yang guai qi, sarcastic coquetry is also coquetry.
Yue Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and laughed in a muffled voice.
After Lu You finished speaking, she turned her head and didn’t look at Yue Yunxi. Hearing the laughter, she was a little embarrassed.
She couldn’t help but replay and think back, realizing that at that time she was excited, and she was ashamed to cover her face.
In her palm, it was hot.
–
The good mood brought by the eased atmosphere only lasted until the end of skating.
The place to eat lunch.
Lu You thought of swiping through Moments the night before, and seeing Chen Feifei check in at a newly opened private restaurant nearby, giving it a high rating, and wanted to try it.
“What if it’s not delicious? It’s better to eat grilled fish next door.” Tao Xin added intimately to Yue Yunxi, “Sister, do you remember? It’s the one I mentioned to you before, and you were especially interested in trying it if you had the chance.”
The first half of the sentence was like trying to attract the attention of an ex, knowing that the other party didn’t eat fish, and deliberately recommending it.
Hearing this, Yue Yunxi frowned.
The second half of the sentence was extremely like reminding the competitor that you didn’t know the other party well enough.
Hearing this, Lu You’s heart sank.
In order to take care of her taste, Yue Yunxi would never order fish when eating with her.
But she had never asked what Yue Yunxi liked.
Lu You glanced at Tao Xin, and when she turned her eyes to look at Yue Yunxi, Yue Yunxi had just withdrawn her gaze from her.
Their eyes crossed, as if the other party didn’t want to look at her.
Lu You pursed her lips, and didn’t speak. She wouldn’t compete with Tao Xin. Tao Xin mentioned Yue Yunxi again.
The choice naturally fell to Yue Yunxi.
Lu You thought Yue Yunxi would follow her intention, but she didn’t. She only explained: “Looking at the evaluation, it’s not bad, so I want to try it. I’m not particularly interested.”
Then, she gave the choice of restaurant to Bo Mingyan and them.
Not getting the expected answer would cause disappointment.
But then again, she felt that she was excessive, too taken for granted.
It was within reason that she didn’t follow her intention.
In the end, they settled on a private restaurant, but Lu You’s desire to go wasn’t as strong.
From the way there, to sitting down at the dinner table, Tao Xin was reminiscing about the past. Only by talking about the past would the exchange not seem too cold and stiff. She could maintain a little face and not let Bo Mingyan and them see the clues.
In fact, when the relationship hadn’t deteriorated in the past, the three of them were like this along the way.
Tao Xin would be like a scale, maintaining the balance on both sides, joking with her for a while, and chatting with Yue Yunxi for a while.
She didn’t think there was anything wrong with it before.
But now she felt very bad, because she had never participated in those experiences that Tao Xin discussed with Yue Yunxi.
Unable to interject, and not having the energy and mood to compete for attention, she slowly lost her sense of presence.
Like a mannequin in a showcase, sealed in glass, watching the people outside chatting and laughing, unable to open her mouth, and had to maintain a frozen expression.
Yue Yunxi’s response to Tao Xin wasn’t enthusiastic, but it wasn’t cold either.
The most normal, peaceful tone, without any emotions or feelings mixed in.
Occasionally, she would say a few more words.
Occasionally, when Tao Xin said “Sister, I want to eat this,” she would considerately call the waiter to add a dish for Tao Xin.
Like colorless, tasteless, and temperatureless water.
Accumulating little by little, it could also dilute the accumulated joy, and could also have the power to cover the nose and mouth.
Lu You couldn’t help but think, was this how Yue Yunxi felt when she was jealous?
Would she also feel as stuffy and uncomfortable as her?
Would she also think with resentment and a bit of hatred, if she drowned to the end, then so be it.
The waiter came to serve the dishes, saying to be careful, they were hot.
Lu You heard the sound, but couldn’t hear the content.
Her arm was grabbed and pulled to the left. Without any mental preparation, her upper body leaned over, almost close to Yue Yunxi’s arms.
The perfume scent that had been heated by the warm temperature poured into her world of random thoughts, drawing a punctuation mark of pause.
She was able to breathe a sigh of relief, and soon experienced the feeling of being submerged in vinegar in the state of being neglected.
Lu You felt that she was divided into two halves.
One half was talking and laughing with Bo Mingyan and them as if nothing had happened. Mixed with the psychology of reciprocation and revenge, talking about their childhood experiences.
Who didn’t have a close sister.
The other half, however, was making herself uncomfortable, couldn’t help but prop up her ears and squint her eyes, listening to the voices of the two, observing the expressions on their faces.
This almost split state made her emotions sink faster and faster.
When she was about to sink to the bottom, Lu You invited Meng Xuran to go to Lost Deer in the afternoon to pass the time, and on the pretext of calling foryao ren, calling people to come, she took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag, got up and said: “You eat first, I’ll call and ask who is free.”
She was like a stranded fish, in urgent need of swimming into the water that could let her breathe.
Lu You almost ran out of the private room.
Hiding in the stairwell, she took a breath, took a cigarette from the cigarette case and put it in her hand, before sending a WeChat message to Chen Feifei.
Chen Feifei replied extremely quickly.
Exiting the chat window, she touched her pocket to find a lighter, and inadvertently glanced at the chat box that she had pinned to the top of the message list, and paused.
The box showed a thumbnail of: [Animated Emoticon]
It was an emoticon she had searched for a long time to find, a cat with tearful eyes, with the words “S Attribute Outbreak” on its head, and a small “sad” next to its eyes.
She didn’t find a lighter in her pocket.
Speechless to the extreme, Lu You couldn’t help but laugh.
Now it was a real S attribute outbreak, both angry and aggrieved.
Her hand was owed, as if involuntarily, and she clicked into the chat box, seeing the five messages she had sent, occupying most of the chat window.
Lu You was suddenly immersed in the torment of making a mistake again.
Hearing the sound of the fire door being pulled open, she came back to her senses and realized that she had been in a daze for a long time.
She didn’t look back, and only knew from the sound of footsteps that it was Yue Yunxi.
Putting the cigarette that she couldn’t light back into the box, Lu You casually came back to her senses, staring at Yue Yunxi stepping down the steps to her, passing her, and walking to the window.
Half of the window was open, and wind poured in, and dust floated in the air of the stairwell.
“I didn’t smoke again.” Lu You found it funny.
She didn’t even have a lighter!
Yue Yunxi reached out to her, with a silver lighter lying in her palm.
Lu You liked her knowledge and care for her, and hated her consideration at this moment, and said in a muffled voice: “No need, I don’t want to smoke anymore.”
With a meaning of pique.
After speaking, she turned to leave.
“Stay a little longer.” Yue Yunxi said, “Your state is a little off.”
Her gentle attitude, worried words, were still like that, dipped in theyin se, timbre of the spring breeze brushing her face, being very easy to deal with.
It was said that those who are near vermilion are red, but Lu You felt that she hadn’t learned half of it, and her heart was ignited by this wind, burning to Red.
“Is it my state that’s off, or is it your state that’s off?”
Emotions were like overflowing boiling water, and she had the posture of breaking the jar, “Yes! I’m wrong, I’ve been wrong from the moment I went out today until now! My emotions, my state, are like a kite, and the lines thatqian dong, pull them are all in your hands. You pull it for a while, and loosen it for a while, sometimes near and sometimes far, and I can’t figure out what you’re thinking!”
She despondently lowered her head, “You won’t tell me either, you always ask people to guess, it’s so tiring to guess.”
Yue Yunxi’s eyebrows jumped slightly, like her heart sinking.
