Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 323 322. The Mystery of White Moonlight

For people, a family dinner is more like an exchange of information and feelings.

All the adults are so busy that it is rare for them to get together to talk and discuss the officialdom and business opportunities in Liaocheng.

As long as the two elders are in good health, this ritual can continue.

When everyone gathered together, several major topics among the older Chinese came up at the dinner table.

Especially since the other brothers and sisters are still in middle school, even gossip is not interesting, and most of the topics revolve around Lu Jincheng.

"Chengcheng, are you used to living in Jiangcheng? I heard it's very hot there?"

This is the problem of my aunt Lu Xiumei.

"It's OK, it's OK, I don't usually go out much."

Lu Jincheng responded with a smile.

It’s not that he seldom goes out, he either takes a bus or drives, he just seldom walks.

There is air conditioning where he hangs out, so no matter how hot it is, he won't feel any heat.

"Does Cheng Cheng have a girlfriend?"

My sister-in-law, Annette Lu, also joined in the fun.

"I did talk about it, but it's a bit too much, and I don't know how to introduce it to you."

Lu Jincheng told the truth.

"this kid"

Everyone laughed together, but no one took it seriously, thinking it was just a joke from Lu Jincheng.

"Brother, quantity is useless, you have to have quality!"

Lu Xiaohan picked up a piece of beef and replied with a smile.

"If she's like Senior Sister Zhong from the previous class of our No. 1 Middle School, anyone who's with her would probably post on WeChat Moments every day to let the world know."

"Really? You're not that insane, are you?"

Lu Jincheng suppressed his smile and spoke calmly.

"Tsk, it looks like you've never experienced this before."

Lu Xiaohan shrugged and disagreed.

For college students, going home to visit relatives during holidays is a fixed routine.

On the way home, Lu Jincheng and his family were at the wheel. Lu Yuqing, who was driving, thought of the topic at the dinner table and asked curiously.

"The Senior Sister Zhong that Xiaohan was talking about is the girl who got off the plane with you, right?"

"Yes."

Lu Jincheng nodded.

"That seems to be the daughter of Zhong Jianhua's family"

"I was wondering why you took so long to come here. Did you go to say hello to them?"

Li Yan looked at her husband who was hesitant to speak and added a sentence.

"Dad, are you familiar with her family?"

Lu Jincheng asked tentatively.

This was an area that he had never touched upon in his previous life.

Mr. Lu only knew that Zhong Ruixi's family also worked in the government, and both of his parents served as cadres in the sector. They were a typical middle-class family.

He didn't know what happened next.

"It's OK. We've dealt with each other a few times at work and have had meals together."

Lu Yuqing did not comment and chatted a few more words with the mother and son.

"What a pretty girl! Chengcheng, if you work hard, I heard from your father that she is a good match for our family."

Although it was just a quick glimpse that day, Li Yan fell in love with Zhong Ruixi at first sight.

"Mom, do you really want me to work hard?"

"Why, you're the one who gives your parents pocket money, can you be more confident?"

Li Yan thought that Lu Jincheng lacked courage, so she encouraged him gently.

"Okay, then I'll find a chance to invite her to my house for dinner."

Lu Jincheng didn't have any intention of hiding anything.

He always had clear ideas, so he just told his parents directly and openly.

"what?"

This time it was Li Yan who was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"You are together with Zhong Jianhua's daughter?"

Lu Yuqing parked the car and turned to look at Lu Jincheng in surprise.

She is the apple of Zhong Jianhua's eye.

Someone mentioned during a conversation at a dinner party before that even though Zhong Jianhua was so busy with work, he still drove Zhong Ruixi to and from school every day, just to prevent her from falling in love prematurely and delaying her studies.

She has only been in school for one semester and she has been taken down by her own son?
"correct."

Lv Jincheng admitted with a smile: "I didn't eat at home tonight. I made an appointment with her to go out and play."

"."

Li Yan and Lu Yuqing looked at each other and saw strange expressions in each other's eyes.

The child has really grown up.

As soon as six o'clock arrived, Lu Jincheng went out on time.

After getting used to having my own car, it actually feels a bit strange to return to Liaocheng.

Because although Liaocheng is called a small city, its geographical area is indeed large.

A prefecture-level city is larger than the entire Qionghai Province.

After thinking about it, he simply went back to get the key to his electric bike from high school and rode towards Zhong Ruixi's home.

"Hey, the big boss has finally learned to downgrade his consumption?"

From a distance, the man was attracted by the graceful figure standing on the street.

Zhong Ruixi dressed very carefully today.

Unlike her plain-looking self-portrait in high school, she now wore full makeup.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and she, who was already tall and beautiful, had a strong aura.

Even the long eyelashes were clearly distinguished with a small clip, making the eyes look even more lively and charming.

She was wearing a beige woolen coat to keep warm, and the hem of her light-colored sweater could be vaguely seen around her slender waist.

In fact, Zhong Ruixi rarely wears this kind of relatively tight sweater.

It's not just because of static electricity. Although this tight-fitting sweater looks elegant, it really shows off your curves.

If she hadn't been out on a date with Lu Jincheng, but in other daily situations, classmates or passers-by would inevitably look her up and down with a look of admiration that was even rude.

That slender waist, those round shoulders, and that plump bust.

After all, she seldom reveals her figure like this, not to mention it is winter.

Below the tweed coat, along the base of the thigh, is a leg-revealing artifact.

From the thighs to the knees to the calves, the body is well-proportioned and straight, yet has a slightly seductive girlish line, tightly wrapped in velvet stockings.

Hiding the silkier and smoother skin, this scene is more than enough for a photo shoot.

Seeing Lu Jincheng riding a familiar-looking electric bike, Zhong Ruixi couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

He drives a Range Rover at school, but can only ride an electric bike when he goes home.

As she teased, she stepped out her left leg, sat on the back seat of Lu Jincheng's electric bike, wrapped her arms around the man's waist, and leaned her face forward.

"Is it cold?"

The winter in Liaocheng is extremely harsh, but fortunately it hasn't snowed recently, so the road is smooth all the way.

"It's not cold. I'm wearing plenty of clothes."

Zhong Ruixi leaned on the evening breeze and the man's back, her voice clear and cheerful.

"You know what?"

"Ok?"

"When I was in school, I was wondering when I could send you off like this."

Just as the car passed Liaocheng No. 1 Middle School, looking at the red and white teaching building of his alma mater, with a few lights on for the senior students, Lu Jincheng was filled with emotion. "Do you really want to have a premature love affair with me?"

Zhong Ruixi chuckled, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

It is not difficult to hear that the boyfriend's tone is full of love for her.

"Of course."

While waiting for the traffic light, Lu Jincheng turned his head, buried his face in Zhong Ruixi's faintly fragrant hair, and answered in a low voice.

Some people say that there is actually no such thing as white moonlight.

That's just the limit you see when you first fall in love.

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang later refused to believe that bowl of Pearl Jade Soup, it was just a bowl of rotten cabbage soup.

His thoughts melted into the air, he seemed to see Zhong Ruixi in school uniform, and suddenly remembered himself in another timeline.

In that world, his impression of Zhong Ruixi will always remain on her youthful days when she wore a school uniform.

The endings of the two people became lifelines with parallel tracks that no longer intersect.

She would not smile sweetly at him, would not call him downstairs of the dormitory to go to South Academy for self-study, would not hold his arm and act coquettishly, and would not put on a suit and high heels and step onto the highly anticipated debate arena.

She would not blush and avoid the sight of Lu Jincheng's parents the moment she got off the plane.

She is always young and beautiful. She stands in my memories wearing her high school uniform and smiles like a flower in the graduation photo.

The man sighs when he passes by his alma mater, not because of memories.

I remembered the self who was once clumsy, immature, and longing for something.

"Pan Xuan and the others are going to treat you to a meal in a few days~"

"Please me?"

"Yes, you let them earn part-time fees, right? You don't have much time on weekdays, and now that you finally get home to relax, of course I have to find a chance to reward you."

It is really hard to ride an electric bike for a date in the cold winter.

The two rode around the main road, chatting as they rode.

After a while, we turned and headed towards Wanda Plaza in the central area of ​​Liaocheng.

"That's something I have to tell you in advance, because my childhood friends have also asked me to play games with them."

After finding an open space to park the electric bike, Lu Jincheng took Zhong Ruixi to the elevator.

"Going to the Internet cafe again?"

"Yeah, the simple joys of men."

In the winter of 2015, there weren't actually that many places to go on dates in Liaocheng.

Unlike the endless stream of script-killing shops, escape room shops, and DIY handmade shops that have emerged in Meituan and Dianping apps in later generations.
Not yet at this time.

Therefore, among the young couples of different ages in Liaocheng, the three most common dating activities are the most common.

Either eat, sing at KTV, or go to the movies.

In January, many New Year films have officially debuted in theaters.

However, Zhong Ruixi is obviously not very interested in New Year films.

She took Lu Jincheng and chose a romance movie.

"Fleet of Time" was just released in mid-December.

Just looking at the name of this film, it cannot escape the fate of being a popcorn movie.

Zhong Ruixi held a bucket of popcorn, ordered two cups of Coke, and fed the popcorn to Lu Jincheng while watching the movie.

The two of them snuggled together in the darkness, completely unable to tell whether it was the sweetness of the romance film plot, the girl's fingers, or the taste of popcorn and carbonated drinks.

There are actually some tips for watching movies as a couple.

Whenever there is such a relatively dim and private scene, the atmosphere between couples who have not yet confirmed their relationship will become somewhat subtle.

Therefore, you need to use your brain when choosing a movie.

For example, couples who have not yet made their relationship clear are more suitable to watch romance or horror films.

The dark and gloomy environment in horror movies, the terrifying and weird BGM, the supernatural monsters lurking in the corners, and the broken limbs that are difficult to look at.
But there are only a few brave people in the world who can truly enjoy horror movies, and most people have an ambiguous attitude towards horror movies.

It is because of the "suspension bridge effect".

Whether you’re crossing a suspension bridge or watching a horror movie, if there’s another person around when you’re feeling nervous, it’s easy to mistake the increased heart rate caused by the situation as being caused by that person.

There is no need to elaborate on the romance film.

Unsurprisingly, nine out of ten romance films have kissing scenes between the hero and heroine.

In fact, the kiss itself was not very explicit, but between two people who were in an ambiguous relationship before it was made clear, a strange palpitation naturally emerged slowly.

Many couples will look at each other with red faces after kissing on the screen, gently holding each other's hands, naturally creating a beautiful story.

Just like this moment.

On the screen, Eddie Peng and Ni Ni kissed each other, and the atmosphere gradually heated up.

Lu Jincheng, calm as a rock, glanced secretly at Zhong Ruixi beside him.

The girl with the ponytail was sipping a Coke, pinching a piece of popcorn with her beautiful manicure, and was deeply attracted by the plot in front of her.

Although it was a popcorn movie, she seemed to be watching it very seriously.

What's so good about this?

For Mr. Lu, it would be more interesting to appreciate the girls around him.

The man quietly put his hand around Zhong Ruixi's belly and soon met his lover's meaningful gaze.

What are you doing?
You want a kiss too?
Zhong Ruixi had already guessed that her lover might come over and follow her example.

So she turned her head away.

She slowly closed her eyes, her cheeks flushed, and her cherry lips moved closer.

However, Lu Jincheng did not make such a big move to move closer as she had imagined.

He pulled his coat over them and placed it between them.

His left hand was originally intended to hug Zhong Ruixi, but it gradually moved upwards and disappeared into the short sweater that was tight on his body.

???

Just a few seconds.

Zhong Ruixi opened her eyes and paused slightly while chewing popcorn.

She bit her lower lip, turned around and glared at Lu Jincheng.

No, this is a movie theater.
What is he doing?
But Zhong Ruixi remained expressionless and did not make any sound.

The color of jade produces a warm fragrance, and people understand the beauty of nature.

Until the girl's eyes were filled with mist and her steady breathing lost its original frequency.

She quickly held down Lu Jincheng's hand.

Pinch the other person so that he won't act recklessly and will pay attention to his image.

She stopped decisively.

It hurts so much
The man felt pain and couldn't help but retract his hand, taking a deep breath with a smile.

"You know what, this movie is pretty good."

Soon the movie ended and the two walked out of the screening room with the bustling crowd.

Lu Jincheng remained calm, as if what had just happened had never happened.

Zhong Ruixi had just walked out of the bathroom, adjusting the buttons on her back that had disappeared automatically and her wrinkled sweater.

"Tsk, tsk, did you really read it carefully?"

She curled her lips and rolled her eyes at Lu Jincheng.

His mind was so focused on himself that he hardly watched the movie at all!
"Look."

The two walked out of the cinema side by side as the crowds dispersed.

During the winter vacation, there are quite a lot of young customers in Wanda Plaza.

"Then tell me, why did the couple separate in the end?"

Zhong Ruixi tried to expose Lu Jincheng's lie, but was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

"Of course because"

Lu Jincheng was just about to make up an excuse to get away with it when he saw a familiar face.

"Long time no see, Zhong Ruixi~"
