other lights

When she woke up the next day, it took Ye Zhen a long time to recover, as if she had been in a lifetime.

The room was dark, she opened the curtains to look, and found that it was raining, but fortunately it was a routine weekly vacation, so she didn't have to go to work.The alarm clock seemed to go off, but she didn't hear it.

The phone was thrown on the ground, but the screen was still dark.

She didn't remember what happened after she came back last night, she just remembered that she went home in a daze, took off her clothes, and buried herself in the quilt.

She charged her phone and got up to take a shower.

The mobile phone was turned on, and the voice of the text message was jingling. She looked at it with her toothbrush in her mouth, and stood there in a daze, biting the handle of the toothbrush.

Thirteen phone calls and three text messages.

All from Lu Licheng.

"I see."

"Go home early and go to bed, good night."

"Contact me when you return to Beijing."

An hour passed between the third text message and the first two, so I don't know what he was thinking.

She went to the bathroom to spit out the foam in her mouth, rinsed her mouth, then sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze.

She really confessed her love to Lu Licheng last night.Terrible time and place, not even on the phone so sincere.But Lu Licheng kept his tone as usual.

If his thoughts are not what she thought, how can we meet again in the future... She raised her hands to cover her face, curled up into a ball, and nestled on the sofa.

The rain outside the window was pattering, it was already summer, but it seemed as if the rainy season hadn't passed yet.

A few days before returning to Beijing, she was packing her luggage, and Mother Ye happened to be at home. She lowered her head and didn't see her, but she looked at herself worriedly when she looked up.

"Mom? Is something wrong?" Ye Zhen asked anxiously.

"It's okay." Mother Ye said, "I'm just a little worried about you."

"What are you worried about me? Look, I'm not in good shape. I'm not sick or in trouble." Ye Zhen said with a smile.

"Our family has no money and no power. You are alone in Beijing..."

"Mom," Ye Zhen took her mother's hand coquettishly, "If you can't survive in Beijing, I will definitely come back to watch over you, don't worry."

She has already decided that if she cannot get a suitable position in Beijing within three years, she will consider returning to this small city. With her education, she can at least earn enough food and clothing.

"You are the one who suffers at home..." Mama Ye brushed her long hair with her hand and put it behind her ear, "If you are short of money, you must ask, no matter how hard it is, we can pay for you to finish college. "

She nodded and smiled innocently and cutely, but the second her mother went out, tears flowed down her face involuntarily.

Sure enough, it's the rainy season... She smiled self-deprecatingly.

On the day she returned to Beijing, the sky was clear and the train had just entered the station, so she squeezed her phone tightly.

"Contact me when you return to Beijing."

But she couldn't make up her mind when to get in touch, so she had to hold her phone tightly and get out of the car with her luggage first.

When I returned to school, there was no one in the dormitory. The sun was setting and the dust accumulated in the dormitory for many days was floating in the air.She fetched a basin of water to clean up the dormitory, and when she finished packing her things, she came back to her senses. It was already the first day of the lights.

She took out her mobile phone, hesitated for a while at the name, and then pressed the dial button.

"Are you back?" Lu Licheng's voice said, "Do you want me to pick you up at the station?"

"I'm already at school." She replied softly.

"Didn't you just call me when you came back?"

"Well...forgot." She lied subconsciously.

"It's so forgetful." He said with a smile.

Ye Zhen stood in the completely dark bedroom, listening to Lu Licheng's smile, it felt very unreal, like a dream that lasted for a long time, from the night she called him, until now.

"Have you had dinner yet?" Lu Licheng asked.

"Not yet." She answered honestly.

"Let's go together."

"it is good."

"Waiting for you downstairs."

A few minutes later she went downstairs, and the man was standing under the street lamp, wearing a white shirt with the neckline slightly open, with his hands in the pockets of black trousers, without glasses.The black hair is a bit longer, hanging down in front of the eyes, with a refreshing youthful appearance.

Ye Zhen has never seen his boyhood.

When they met, he had grown into a tall and deep-voiced young man.

When they first met, he was dressed in an old T-shirt denim, very shabby, but very clean, and he reluctantly asked her "Do you need help?"

He was originally a stubborn and aloof person, calm and reserved, but at this moment, when he saw her, he softened his handsome brows and eyes, and there was a smile in his deep eyes.

"It seems to be a little thinner." Lu Licheng commented calmly, "Is it okay if you didn't eat at home?"

"I'm working part-time, so I lost weight." She replied with a smile.

"Eat more today and make up for it."

"it is good."

The two walked side by side on the dimly lit and sparsely populated boulevard, the swaying branches made the starlight disappear.All over the sky, there are only their figures walking side by side, and the lights along the way.

Dinner was the usual atmosphere.

Lu Licheng ordered an extra meat dish, but just watched Ye Zhen eat it alone.

Ye Zhen was embarrassed by his look, and motioned him to eat, but he shook his head: "I have eaten."

Eh?

"Then why did you invite me to dinner?"

"Because you said you haven't eaten yet." He took it for granted.

Ye Zhen smiled, lowered her head to poke the food on the plate, and said, "You don't need to force it."

"I ate very early, and I'm really a little hungry now." Lu Licheng took out a pair from the chopsticks basket and picked up a piece of meat, "Okay, I'll eat with you."

Ye Zhen knew that he was looking for a reason to make her less embarrassed.

So, the result is already obvious.

After a silent dinner, the two walked back from the boulevard.

Silence, silence.Ye Zhen felt that there was no more difficult moment than this time. Even the stage waiting was more interesting than the current silence because it was full of tension and anxiety.

"Go up, I'm leaving." Coming downstairs, Lu Licheng said.

"Yeah." She nodded, turned around and walked towards the apartment building.

"Wait a minute, Ye Zhen." After walking two steps, Lu Licheng's voice sounded from behind, "Don't you want to know the answer to that question?"

Ye Zhen turned around in surprise.

"Didn't the phone go off? Did you... hear that?"

"I heard it. I was about to speak, but there was no sound." Lu Licheng said, "I called you and you didn't answer it, and you didn't reply to the text message."

Ye Zhen realized that her heart almost didn't belong to her anymore, it was beating like it was about to burst out in the next second.

"Let me ask you a question too."

She felt herself short of breath.

"I hope someone can ask me about my private life, emotionally, without a trace of rationality, even if it's unreasonable. Who do you think is more suitable?" His eyes are hidden in the shadow of eyelashes, so he can't see clearly Where is the gaze.

Ye Zhen laughed suddenly after listening to his words.

"Maybe you should find a heroine in Qiong Yao's novels to like, they will really make trouble for no reason."

Then she saw a smile on the corner of Lu Licheng's mouth.

Then, from his shoulder, she saw the starlight obliterated by sparse shadows.

The street lights were dim, but the stars were extraordinarily bright.

The author has something to say: This chapter is very short, but it took a long time

Because I have no experience of being confessed_(:з」∠)_, I was stuck all night plus one morning before I got out

But I think it's still kind of moving.

Because now I feel the happiness lying on Lu Licheng's shoulders
