Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 52 In the future, we will forget how happy we are now
It was already 08:30 after finishing the meal. They chatted while eating, and two hours passed before they knew it.

The group of people left the restaurant and stood on the side of the road. Lu Guanhai asked Zhan Ping: "It's quite far from 'Shengchao'. How do we get there? Take the bus or take a taxi?"

Luo Zheli said: "There are many of us, so it is actually more cost-effective to take a taxi."

But Zhan Ping's eyes bulged: "I didn't say I would go to 'Shengchao' today."

Ni Manhua looked around: "Did you book a KTV nearby? What's its name?"

"Oh Manman, we are all adults, why should we go to a ktv?" Zhan Ping took Ni Manhua's hand and motioned her to look next to the restaurant where she had just eaten: "Only minors go to ktv, adults should go to bars. Otherwise Why did I book this restaurant? Isn’t it convenient?”

Ni Manhua never expected that Zhan Ping would do this for her, and she knew she might as well go climbing a mountain.

Ni Manhua shook off Zhan Ping's hand: "Don't you talk about singing?"

"Yes, that's right, let's sing. Sing as loud as you want in there. Let's go. I've set the stage." Zhan Ping took Ni Manhua's hand again and dragged her to the bar. Pull inside.

Ni Manhua finally understood the meaning of Zhan Ping's heavy makeup on her today. The makeup she was wearing now really suited the atmosphere of the bar.

Coming of age ceremony, new handsome guy, Zhan Ping really dares to think about it.

It's not that Ni Manhua has never been to a bar. She was dragged there by her roommates several times after she went to college, but she really doesn't like the noisy atmosphere. The shining lights are more dazzling than on the stage, and strangers behave better inside than acquaintances. More intimacy.

Ni Manhua was reluctantly pulled in by Zhan Ping, and asked for fruit wine without shame. After that, Zhan Ping and Wu Bo pulled Ni Manhua to dance on the dance floor. Zhan Ping was like a wild horse that had escaped the reins, as if he had another soul. It rushed out of her body, releasing her suppressed nature for more than ten years.

But Ni Manhua always felt awkward. She was not a person with uncoordinated limbs. She also learned to dance when she was a child, but standing among them, Ni Manhua felt at a loss.

Zhan Ping was completely immersed in it. Ni Manhua felt that she had no mind to care about him, but every time she wanted to run away, Zhan Ping could pull her back accurately.

Zhan Ping raised her hands to her ears and shouted to Ni Manhua: "Manman! Can you hear me?"

Ni Manhua nodded stiffly.

"are you happy?"

Ni Manhua nodded stiffly.

"Do you feel like you're becoming an adult?"

Ni Manhua looked at Zhan Ping's shining eyes for a while, then nodded with a smile.

What's the benefit of this silly girl becoming an adult? It's worth her careful planning at this time.

Ni Manhua wanted to tell her that if possible, she hoped that they would not become adults in their lives.

After dancing with Zhan Ping for half an hour, Ni Manhua finally couldn't take it anymore. The noise around her made her a little dizzy. Ni Manhua planned to go out for some air.

When they walked to the door, Lu Guanhai had just received a call from outside and wanted to come in. The two called and met. Lu Guanhai asked her what she was doing. Ni Manhua said to get some air, so Lu Guanhai did not come in.

There are many bars and Internet cafes opened in this street, and there are all kinds of people nearby. Lu Guanhai said that it is not safe for girls to be alone.

After coming out of the bar, there was a river across the road. Ni Manhua wanted to go to the river to enjoy the breeze and drive away the boredom in his heart. Lu Guanhai followed her silently, bowing his head and saying nothing, like the silent messenger in the comics.

Going down from the public platform for children to play, there are actually not many people on the riverside.It was completely dark at this time, but there was only a weak street lamp at long intervals along the river. Only a few people would choose to come down there at this time. Most of the people Ni Manhua saw were couples, and some Holding hands, some were sitting on stone benches making love to each other. Only when they got closer did they see clearly, they were startled.

Lu Guanhai started the conversation first: "Did you have fun in there just now? It must be quite crazy to be with Zhan Ping."

"It's so noisy, it makes me a little dizzy."

"The bar is not the busiest at this time. It will probably be noisier when we go back later. Let's go back later. Zhan Ping is accompanied by Wu Bo. They are very happy together."

"Well, I ate a bit too much at night, so it's just right for me to take a walk."

The wind was very gentle tonight. In Ni Manhua's memory, most of the time she and Lu Guanhai were together, the wind was very gentle.

The road along the river is not very clear, and occasionally pebbles are accidentally kicked to the shore during the day.One side was close to the river and the other to the shore. As he walked, Ni Manhua discovered that Lu Guanhai had changed to the side facing the river.

"you……"

"you……"

The two people spoke almost at the same time. Ni Manhua actually just wanted to ask Lu Guanhai why he chose the major he was applying for now, but Lu Guanhai seemed to have a more serious concern and wanted to ask her.

Lu Guanhai is a gentleman: "You go ahead and say it."

Ni Manhua put his hands in front of him and kept rubbing his fingers, fearing that he would be exposed: "Why did you choose archeology?"

"Because I like those cultural relics that still exist tenaciously in the world after going through wind and rain and the precipitation of time. They make me feel my own insignificance, the shortness of time, and the importance of cherishing it." Lu Guanhai said yearning on his face. Looks like he really likes his new major.

Ni Manhua cautiously probed: "Have you never considered studying medicine?"

This question seemed very abrupt at this moment. Ni Manhua was worried that Lu Guanhai would ask her why she had such a question, but it was too late for her to take back her mindless words.

"I don't know how to study medicine." Lu Guanhai said this categorically, and his speaking speed was even more urgent than before, which made Ni Manhua a little unable to react.

Lu Guanhai's change of major didn't seem strange to Ni Manhua, but his attitude towards studying medicine made Ni Manhua a little confused. The kind of conditioned resistance seemed like such a choice would cause harm to him. .

Ni Manhua didn't understand, she desperately wanted to know the reason.

"Why?" Ni Manhua looked at Lu Guanhai, not wanting to leave his face for a moment.

Lu Guanhai also turned his head to look at her, with a wry smile on his lips: "I am not suitable to be a doctor. I have to take care of my mother. I will have a new family in the future. My wife and children also need my care. I am not qualified to do it." Being busy helping others will make me lose everything about myself, and I don’t want to let my family down.”

The Lu Guanhai in front of him made Ni Manhua extremely strange, but there was also an indescribable familiarity.Isn't this the state of mind and perception that a young boy would have, so would he be his dull and taciturn husband?But Lu Guanhai, who was sleeping next to Ni Manhua's pillow, had never thought about it this way. He would only feel that he was paying, working hard, and doing the right things in his own way.

Ni Manhua began to feel dazed again. Her voice trembled and she asked, "Why do you think so?"

"I watched it on TV, the doctors are very busy." Lu Guanhai looked away, and said calmly, "Do you have anything else to ask?"

Ni Manhua shook her head. She actually needed some quietness at the moment, but thinking of what Lu Guanhai had just swallowed, she still said, "What did you want to say just now?"

Lu Guanhai was silent for a while, and then let out a long sigh before speaking, which made Ni Manhua a little nervous.

After a while, Lu Guanhai asked softly, "Will we always be friends?"

Ni Manhua didn't know why he asked, but he still gave an affirmative answer: "Of course."

"Won't there be any other relationship? In fact, Wu Bo and the others have already revealed why we met, and you also know about it, but you always pretend that you don't know. You used to say that the most important thing for us is to study, for the college entrance examination , but now that the college entrance examination is over, can we have other possibilities? Also... You said that we will be unfortunate together in the future, but I hope you at least give me a chance, what will happen in the future, we will not know until we get there. "

Ni Manhua wanted to forget, but she couldn't forget that she and Lu Guanhai from another time and space were together today, her birthday.

At that time, Lu Guanhai and Zhan Ping colluded and decorated the tent with colored lights and bouquets in advance. When the lights came on at night, they were the most conspicuous presence on the entire mountain.

Lu Guanhai confessed his love at this time. Ni Manhua had already had a premonition, but she was still surprised. She asked Lu Guanhai why he chose this day. Lu Guanhai said that this is called happiness upon happiness, and Ni Manhua's brain Stupid, I'm afraid that she won't remember their anniversary together. Choosing it on her birthday will save her from having to remember one more important day every year.

Lu Guanhai did everything for Ni Manhua's sake, and every time Ni Manhua thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but get hot.

It was the same now. Ni Manhua resisted the desire to shed tears and was speechless for a long time.

Ni Manhua tried her best to calm down her emotions. After a long time, she choked and said: "I don't want us to forget how happy we are together now. Now we can walk and chat together. You don't know how happy I am." happy."

After Ni Manhua said this, tears fell uncontrollably. She still couldn't resist Lu Guanhai in front of her. She thought that if he insisted on being with her, she would agree.

Compared with worries about the future, the changes in many things in the past two years seem to have given Ni Manhua a little hope.

Now that she has grown up, she can handle many things better. She won't always put Lu Guanhai in a dilemma, right?In the future, Lu Guanhai will no longer be a doctor. He will no longer spend time with Guan Fei day and night, and he won't be so busy every day, right?

What about them?Will we be able to live the kind of happy life we ​​once expected, without losing our sincere emotions in the changes of time?

They walked to a section with street lights. The tears on Ni Manhua's face were illuminated by the street lights. Lu Guanhai's voice sounded sad: "Don't cry. You can reject me, but don't cry."

"Lu Guanhai, do you think we will be happy in the future now that we are together?"

Ni Manhua didn't believe in the promise a long time ago, but at this moment she was very eager to get his promise.She has shrunk herself timidly into a thick shell, and needs him to give her strength so that she dares to reach out to him again.

But before Lu Guanhai had time to say anything, they were walking towards this side just now and heard a man and a woman arguing. They just ignored the unrelated matter. When they got there, the girl suddenly stood up from the bench and grabbed her. Holding Ni Manhua's hand: "Brother, sister, why are you two here?"
