throwing gentle gl

The seat Jiang Huaixi reserved was good, the table next to the window and across the aisle happened to be empty at the moment, quiet and natural.

Lu Zizheng handed over the order to Jiang Huaixi with confidence, and Jiang Huaixi has always been able to accurately grasp her own taste after going out to eat with Jiang Huaixi so many times, but this time she noticed that Jiang Huaixi did not order dessert.

"Did you miss something?" Lu Zizheng gently reminded Jiang Huaixi.Lu Zizheng likes sweet taste, when eating out, if possible, she will never miss dessert.

Jiang Huaixi responded to her without raising her head: "Didn't I just say that I am not going to order cakes?"

Lu Zizheng gritted his teeth, and called to the waiter who was about to leave: "I want one..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Jiang Huaixi: "It's okay, that's all, it's fine..." The waiter looked at the two of them in embarrassment, Jiang Huaixi nodded to her, and signaled again: "It's okay...", the waiter He hesitated and moved away.

It's just a joke, Lu Zizheng didn't expect Jiang Huaixi to say it so seriously.

Because his appetite was not satisfied, before the dishes were served, Lu Zizheng turned his head sideways to look out the window and ignored Jiang Huaixi, pretending to be aloof.

In the reflection of the window glass, she vaguely saw Jiang Huaixi smiling and pushing a red box in front of her.

"If you don't turn around, I'll just throw it into the trash can. No one wants it anyway." Jiang Huaixi's usual cold voice contained some intentionally feigned grievances. It's rare to hear Jiang Huaixi's tone like this. Lu Zizheng didn't say anything for a moment Holding back, he turned his head, wanting to see her expression.

It's a pity that Jiang Huaixi's expression is always indifferent, thinking that she will be really cute once in a while.

Open the red box, which contains a stylish watch with a wide strap.It's not a big brand, but it's generous and beautiful, which suits Lu Zizheng's heart.

Maybe Jiang Huaixi had intentions. In these years, Jiang Huaixi never gave gifts that were too expensive for her to bear.To a certain extent, it can be said that Jiang Huaixi knows how to communicate with her very well, and has a good sense of proportion, so that even if she resisted at the beginning, she could not refuse.

From the moment Lu Zizheng opened the box, Jiang Huaixi had been carefully observing her expression, until she saw the unconscious smile on Lu Zizheng's lips, she felt relieved and felt a little happy.

She had given Lu Zizheng many watches, except for the first one that Lu Zizheng had never worn, and every other watch was replaced when she gave Lu Zizheng a new watch.

The first time she sent a watch, it was just because she felt that the watch in Lu Zizheng's hand was a bit old.Unfortunately, for a long time after sending the watch, she didn't see Lu Zizheng wearing it, not even once.For this reason, she could not help but feel lost.

However, when she inadvertently glimpsed the long scar on the inside of Lu Zizheng's wrist, she instantly understood the reason why watches fell out of favor.Because, the strap of that watch is the kind of extremely thin and exquisite, which cannot cover Lu Zizheng's past that he doesn't want others to know.

She never asked Lu Zizheng about the past of that scar, but she gave her one watch after another with a wide strap, and finally saw the watches appearing in Lu Zizheng's hand one after another.

However, today seems a little different.

For the first time in front of her, Lu Zizheng took off the old watch and put on a new one.The scar on the inner side of the wrist was clearly visible. Lu Zizheng did not intend to cover it up at all. Instead, he calmly stretched out his hand to let Jiang Huaixi admire the watch, and asked her with a smile, "Does it look good?"

Jiang Huaixi dragged his chin with one hand, and answered her with a smile: "It looks good." After a pause, he added: "Even if the watch I picked is worn on such an ugly hand as yours, it can't hide its beauty. The key is mine. Good eyesight."

Lu Zizheng couldn't help but sneered: "I won't bite my tongue if I say something wrong."

Jiang Huaixi blinked: "I'm sorry, I always only love to tell the truth. My mother taught me that lying is not a good boy."

Lu Zizheng looked at Jiang Huaixi, a little helpless, as if he hadn't gotten a good word from her without a thorn in his mouth, is it so difficult to praise her once? !

However, Lu Zizheng's heart softened when he looked down at the wide watch strap on his hand and carefully covered up the scar.From the first thin strap to each subsequent wide strap, she gradually understood Jiang Huaixi's silent tenderness and consideration.

In life, it is rare for someone to treat you so tenderly.

She stared at Jiang Huaixi, with indescribable seriousness and tenderness in her eyes: "Huaixi, thank you, really."

Then, she saw Jiang Huaixi's ears turn red in an instant, and when he nervously put down his left hand on his chin, he accidentally knocked over the cup and wet his cuff.

Such a flustered Jiang Huaixi is rare, Lu Zizheng just admired it with a smile, watching Jiang Huaixi clumsily wiping his sleeves with a tissue, his ears became more and more red.

Fortunately, the waiter delivered the food in time, saving Jiang Huaixi's embarrassment. In an instant, Jiang Huaixi found his place and returned to his usual eight winds.

Lu Zizheng's gentleness was so charming that Jiang Huaixi was instantly fascinated.Good wine is rare, you have to taste it once in a while, and you will be drunk when you drink it.

Jiang Huaixi and Lu Zizheng were not talkative people, but they knew each other well. Even though the dinner was mostly silent, they didn't feel awkward. They both felt that the atmosphere was good, relaxed and at ease.

However, such a comfortable dining atmosphere was ruthlessly broken when the owner of the empty seat next to him came.

Lian Xuan followed a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes into the dining room, and walked past Lu Zizheng. The man thoughtfully opened a chair for Lian Xuan and took care of her meticulously.

Lu Zizheng's back was facing the direction of the restaurant's entrance, so Lian Xuan didn't notice Lu Zizheng when she came in.

Lu Zizheng saw someone coming from the next table, but he glanced sideways out of habit, and as the man pulled away the chair and walked to the opposite side of the dining table, Lian Xuan's strange yet familiar profile appeared in front of Lu Zizheng's eyes .

Lian Xuan raised her head inadvertently, and with a glance, she saw Lu Zizheng who was looking at her.

When their eyes met, both of them were taken aback.

Seeing that Lu Zizheng turned his head to the side and suddenly stopped moving, Jiang Huaixi followed her gaze with some doubts, and when he saw Lian Xuan who was sitting next to him, the smile that was originally clear and indistinguishable from his lips disappeared. .

Even Xuan's absence was only for a moment, and she naturally saw Jiang Huaixi sitting opposite Lu Zizheng. When Jiang Huaixi looked at her, he showed a gentle and polite smile, and nodded his head gently as a greeting.

Jiang Huaixi also nodded slightly in return with a polite smile, then turned his head nonchalantly and focused on the food in front of him.

Lu Zizheng also lowered his head, and continued the movement of his hands.

Everything remained as it was before, and Lian Xuan was nothing more than a stranger she met during the meal.

However, Lian Xuan didn't intend to just let them go.

Not long after, when the man was leaving the table, she held a goblet and stood beside Lu Zizheng and Jiang Huaixi's table with a smile, her voice was warm and pleasant: "It's such a coincidence to meet Miss Jiang and Zizheng here. It's destined." She stretched out her hand, tilted the wine glass slightly, and made a preparatory gesture of cheers: "Merry Christmas to you all." Her eyes were staring at Lu Zizheng without blinking.

Jiang Huaixi calmly raised his wine glass, clinked glasses with her, and said lightly: "I also wish Mr. Lian and Mr. Zhou a Merry Christmas and a happy meal."

Lu Zizheng raised his glass with Jiang Huaixi, touched Jiang Huaixi's cup lightly, and said nothing.

Lian Xuan's eyes with profound meaning were still firmly fixed on Lu Zizheng's body, she raised her wine glass and took a sip lightly, as if she was about to say something more, but Jiang Huaixi stopped her and said calmly: "I heard that Mr. Lian and Mr. Zhou are about to get engaged, so I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years." She raised her wine glass, smiled at Lian Xuan, and drank all the contents of the glass in one gulp. wine.

Lian Xuan looked at Lu Zizheng's eyes for a flash of panic, her smile was slightly suppressed, and her face was a little ugly.However, he still did not lose his manners, and forced a smile to answer "Borrow Miss Jiang's good words".

The young master Zhou that Jiang Huaixi was talking about came back, and after Lian Xuan signaled that she would be excused, she didn't stay any longer and returned to her seat.

Lu Zizheng turned his head to look out the window, slightly absent-minded.

The atmosphere at the dining table dropped to freezing point, the silence at this moment, but without the tacit understanding of the past, suddenly gave rise to subtle embarrassment.

Suddenly, gorgeous fireworks bloomed in the lonely night sky, one after another, dazzling people's eyes.Looking down from the window, the dark and lonely land is covered with glittering snow, and the dark night sky is sparkling with fireworks. These bustling scenes make people feel even more lonely.

It is also not an aisle away, but there is a river called years that can no longer flow in the middle, so wide, so wide, it seems that there is no end.

On Christmas Eve in the first year of high school, she and Lian Xuan were doing evening self-study in a quiet classroom.Suddenly, fireworks exploded outside the window, disturbing Lu Zizheng who was concentrating on his homework.

She turned her head sideways and stared at the blooming fireworks one by one. One bloomed, one scattered, and one bloomed again. Even though it was short-lived, each bloomed in its most splendid appearance... …

A note came from the other side of the aisle, Lian Xuan smiled and pouted at her.

Lu Zizheng spread out the note and saw Lian Xuan teasing her: "You didn't concentrate on your homework. On such a special day, are you delusional?"

She blushed slightly, lowered her head and answered her word for word seriously: I just think the fireworks are beautiful, but it's a pity that I can't watch them properly.

Lian Xuan didn't respond to her for a long time after receiving the note, as if she had started to concentrate on her homework again and had no time to take care of her.

When the evening self-study was about to end, suddenly, a large sheet of paper was passed across the narrow aisle.

There is a painting on the paper, two long-haired girls are lying side by side on the snowy ground, the snow flakes are flying and falling on their intertwined black hair, gorgeous fireworks bloom one by one in the bleak night sky .

At that moment, the fireworks in the sky had already dissipated, and everything was silent, Lu Zizheng could only hear his own, elated voice.

Ji Yao stood by Lian Xuan's table and waited impatiently, but Lian Xuan just picked up her schoolbag leisurely, tilted her head slightly to face Lu Zizheng, with a gentle and lovely appearance: "Fireworks It’s perishable, I didn’t really like it. But if you want to watch it, next Christmas, let’s find a good place and I’ll show you one, it’s not bad if you think about it.”

When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and there were faint dimples on her cheeks, which was the sweetness that Lu Zizheng would smile at in his dreams at night.

However, Lian Xuan did have the foresight, and what she said was true.Fireworks are easy to be cold, and personnel are easy to divide. The fireworks between them disappeared without a trace before they bloomed.Before Christmas of the second year came, they had already scattered far away.

That sweet smiling face instantly turned into the bitterness that Lu Zizheng used to dream about every night with a tear-wet pillow towel.

In this world, where is the peace that breeds crisis, the happiness of the last second hides the pain of the next second.The sweeter the past, the more painful the future will be, hoping that one day it will fail and become harm.If you don't move your heart, there will be no pain. Don't put your expectations on others, so that you can avoid harm.

This is a precious lesson that Lian Xuan taught Lu Zizheng, and it will be unforgettable in this life.
