Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 192 Port Invitation

"Did you just see that?"

4th floor, cinema.

Two boys who looked about the same age as Lu Yao were whispering.

After hearing his companion's words, another person asked with some confusion:
"what did you see?"

"there."

The boy pointed at Lu Yao and Xu Ruochu who were queuing to buy tickets.

"Just now in the elevator, the woman was kissing the man."

"Uh……"

The other boy pushed his glasses and his eyes quickly passed over Lu Yao, his main attention was on Xu Ruochu.

"How did you kiss?"

"Kissing the neck. The man didn't lower his head, and the woman couldn't reach it. But I saw it... I tell you, the woman was definitely the proactive type."

"What do you mean?"

"It's just... there weren't a lot of people in the elevator? The man was holding on to the wall, afraid that others would squeeze the woman. The woman took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kissed the man's neck several times. He kissed her once on the second floor and once on the third floor."

"you saw it?"

"Nonsense, I'm right next to them. I tell you, that woman must have taken the initiative in bed."

"...You understand now?"

"Of course. You didn't see the look in her eyes when she kissed that guy... She was so charming. Just... her eyes were dripping with tears, understand?"

"Tsk, tsk."

Listening to his companions' words, the boy with glasses smacked his lips with emotion.

"This woman is pretty."

The other person heard this and suddenly looked melancholy:
"Ah... yeah. Do you think only handsome guys can find such a beautiful girlfriend? People like us..."

"Brother, you think too much. You can do it yourself."

"You are not as good as me, okay?"

"Go away. At least I've been in a relationship before, what about you?"

"...I'm telling you, don't disbelieve me. If I really put in the effort to find someone, I'd definitely be no worse than this girl."

“Ouch ouch~~~~~”

Lu Yao didn't know that someone was teasing him behind his back.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care at the moment.

because……

He didn't know what to do now.

If it's holding hands, it's still an excuse.

But her sudden kiss in the elevator had gone beyond the scope of "pretend" in every sense.

He didn't know what to do.

I don’t even know how to say it.

The two of them came out of the elevator and lined up to buy tickets...there was silence for a while.

He didn't speak, and Xu Ruochu didn't speak either.

Moreover, the two of them no longer held hands, but instead queued up to buy tickets one after the other.

You don't speak.

I am silent.

Soon, it was Lu Yao's turn.

He glanced at the time and said:
"A Chinese Ghost Story... Is it still possible to make it to the 2:20 show?"

"It's still in time. A Chinese Ghost Story at 2:20. How many tickets?"

"Two."

The conductor looked up at Lu Yao and was slightly surprised.

Handsome guy.

But he immediately noticed Xu Ruochu next to him.

Then he understood what he meant and asked:

"Do you want a couple's meal? A bucket of popcorn and two drinks, a total of 119 yuan."

"……it is good."

Lu Yao responded and handed over the money.

"The movie has already started. You two can go directly to the third screening room. I wish you a happy movie watching."

After getting the movie tickets, they took the receipt to the counter next door to get popcorn and Coke, and then the two walked to the screening room one after the other.

This time, there was no holding hands.

The embarrassment of realizing it belatedly came suddenly, but like a surge.

At least that’s the case for Lu Yao.

Soon, the two of them walked into the screening room one after the other. After finding their seats, Lu Yao suddenly realized...

This is actually a couple's seat.

In the last row, the sofa is wide enough to accommodate two people as a couple.

"..."

He was speechless.

At this time, the lights dimmed.

The movie is about to begin.

He had no choice but to sit down, and Xu Ruochu also sat next to him.

I have to admit that although it is a couple's seat, the comfort of the seat is indeed beyond reproach.

And...the attendance of this movie is actually average.

At least that's the case in this one.

In the darkness, Lu Yao thought for a moment and handed over the popcorn.

Xu Ruochu took it.

He took two and put them in his mouth.

Sweet and very good.

The sweetness dispels all emotions.

It makes people relax.

At least for her.

But when the movie started, Lu Yao, who had no intention of watching the movie, suddenly felt the roughness on his lips.

It's popcorn.

Just like he was feeding the other person chestnuts, Xu Ruochu picked up two pieces of popcorn and handed them to his mouth.

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and said subconsciously:
"I……"

Before he could finish his words, the popcorn was already stuffed into his mouth.

Xu Ruochu withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.

Although in the dark, the two could not see each other's expressions.

But it seemed that since just now in the elevator... the atmosphere between the two of them had inexplicably reversed.

Hong Wen is no longer her, but Lu Yao.

And she... began to take the initiative.

The change happened quietly, but it was true that as soon as Lu Yao finished the first bite of popcorn, the second bite was already handed to him.

“…I’ll do it myself.”

He said.

Xu Ruochu responded and put the popcorn between the two of them.

As for the movie…

To be honest, it doesn't look very good.

In Lu Yao's opinion, it doesn't have that... feeling at all like Zhang Guorong's version.

Extremely awkward.

Although Liu Yifei is very beautiful, but... this movie gives people a weird feeling, a bit like a copycat.

Halfway through reading, Lu Yao felt a little sleepy.

He yawned several times in a row.

Add to that the mutton hotpot at noon, the sweet butter popcorn and the cup of Coke...

His blood sugar was off the charts and he really couldn't take it anymore, so he closed his eyes.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly I felt a strong light.

He subconsciously opened his eyes...

All I saw was Xu Ruochu retracting his arm and the phone screen lighting up.

He was a little bewildered.

But only then did I realize... my head had somehow tilted onto the other person's shoulder.

He sat up straight subconsciously, staring at the incomprehensible scene on the screen, and was stunned.

Were you taking photos just now?
As I was thinking about it, suddenly, the light above my head came on.

It lit up the entire theater.

The movie is over.

"Are you awake?"

Xu Ruochu asked.

Lu Yao nodded:
"Um...what time is it?"

Xu Ruochu pointed the phone screen at him.

On the screen, I was sleeping soundly, leaning on her shoulder. She was slightly tilting her head in the picture, so that the angle of the two people's shooting became head to head.

Honestly, it was a pretty good shot.

Lu Yao completely forgot to check the time...

The few moviegoers stood up and left. Xu Ruochu also stood up and took his hand.
"let's go."

"……Um."

Soon, the two of them walked out together.

And perhaps a movie would be enough to cool his emotions.

Now he was able to communicate normally with Xu Ruochu: "This movie...is not good. What do you think?"

“I didn’t really look at it.”

Xu Ruochu also shook his head:

"The plot is not very attractive, and there was something going on at the company. I was replying to text messages... but you slept soundly."

Lu Yao was a little embarrassed.

Xu Ruochu pointed to the elevator:
"Let's go buy some clothes."

"... Still buying?"

"Well, I didn't shop enough."

"……it is good."

Lu Yao nodded.

But he pointed to the other side:
"Take that one."

He was referring to the escalator.

Xu Ruochu was stunned for a moment, as if she understood something. Her cheeks turned slightly red, but her expression was unusually bright.

After walking to Lu Yao, she naturally took his hand.

At the same time, the words rang out:
"What are we going to eat tonight? It's already 4 o'clock."

"…What do you want to eat?"

"I don't know. It's up to you. What do you want to eat? ... I want to eat at an authentic restaurant."

Lu Yao thought to himself that was too much.

There is nothing else in Yanjing except a lot of tunnels.

After thinking for a while, he asked:
"How about the barbecue?"

"The moon is three thousand miles away?"

"...?"

Looking at Lu Yao's puzzled expression, Xu Ruochu smiled and said:
"Haven't you heard of Guo Degang's crosstalk? It's said that there's a barbecue restaurant in Yanjing called Mingyue Sanqianli... I think the name is pretty nice. Oh, yes, how about we go listen to his crosstalk?"

Whether to listen to crosstalk is another matter.

Lu Yao said:

"I'll take you to eat Zhizi BBQ. I saw a review online that said... Nanwan Beiji, you can't get enough BBQ Liu. Let's go to BBQ Wan, the authentic BBQ here."

"Okay. But let's buy some clothes first. Do you remember what the two people in the lemon tea said? It's very cold at the Great Wall, so you need to wear something thick."

"...We still want to go to the Great Wall?"

"Have you been there?"

"……without."

"I've been there, but you haven't. So... I want to take you there to see it. It's your first time in Yanjing, so you shouldn't leave any regrets."

When she said this, her eyes were burning as she stared at Lu Yao.

But Lu Yao heard something "wrong" in it.

"You mean... you have nothing to do tomorrow? That's not right. Didn't you say you have something to do?"

"..."

Xu Ruochu was stunned.

Then, embarrassment came swiftly.

So much so that she began to avoid Lu Yao's ridiculous gaze unconsciously and stepped into the elevator.

"……Hey."

Lu Yao shouted.

She turned a deaf ear.

“…Xu Ruochu!”

The royal sister turned her head and looked at her boyfriend who was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and felt even more embarrassed.

Then he took the initiative to walk down two steps.

After the elevator reached the third floor, she quickened her pace.

Lu Yao shook his head speechlessly.

But she suddenly turned around after just taking a few steps.

So he sneered:
"What? You're not running away anymore?"

As a result, the next second, the royal sister grabbed her hand:
"handle."

"Shit. Tell me first, have you been busy these days?"

But just as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Ruochu suddenly raised his head.

She didn't say anything, just stared at him.

Lu Yao stopped subconsciously.

"What...what happened?"

he asked.

But Xu Ruochu still didn't say anything, but just stared at him.

After looking at it for about ten seconds, he suddenly said:

"You just now... is the real you, right?"

"?"

Under Lu Yao's puzzled gaze, she thought for a moment and continued:
"That's not right. I should say that the you just now is the you that I know."

She took Lu Yao's arm and pulled him towards the elevator, saying as she walked:
"For me, it's you who is like this that I feel most comfortable with."

Lu Yao didn't know what to say for a moment.

But she seemed to have been inspired to talk, and she kept talking:
"Actually, you know what? The time when you made me feel the most distant was... after you started school. After the start of last semester, you made me feel the most distant. You became friends with Xiaochen and called me "Sister Chu". You no longer had that casual attitude of "Hey, Xu Ruochu, do whatever you need to do."

"When have I ever done this to you?"

"Before you became a driver... that's not right. We knew each other. It was Ping An Designated Driver 107, right?"

"Ah."

"From Ping An Designated Driver 107 to President Xu, actually... you were always the real you. But after your college entrance examination results came out... you started to change."

"..."

OK OK.

Lu Yao thought, are you bringing up old issues?
So he asked:

"Then let me ask you..."

"You see, that's it."

"..."

Lu Yao thought to himself, what did I say? Why are you just like this...what are you doing?

But, the royal sister who was holding his arm was exuding a sense of curiosity at this moment.

"What do you want to ask?"

"That one million sponsorship..."

"..."

Xu Ruochu paused.

He looked up subconsciously, and after seeing Lu Yao's eyes, he lowered his head again.

After resuming her pace and taking a few steps, she asked:

"Guessed it?"

"...I said I guessed it after Mr. Zhou left. Do you believe me?"

"..."

Xu Ruochu stopped talking.

When talking about the past, Lu Yao was filled with emotion, and said in the most sincere voice:
"Chu Jie. That's why I am so grateful to you. To put it in an exaggerated way, if I were a demon king who wanted to destroy the world, I would not hurt you even if I destroyed the whole world."

Xu Ruochu could feel it.

The arrogance that belonged to him... began to fade away again.

What replaced him is today's "Lu Yao".

But this time, Xu Ruochu did not continue to extend the topic.

She had no intention of explaining why she did that at the time or what her thoughts were... There was no need.

Because the more you analyze some things, the more rational they become.

At this moment, she may have a lot of thoughts in her mind, but rationality is the last thing she needs.

So, she just nodded:

"Well, Mr. Demon King, tomorrow...I want to go to the Great Wall with you, is that okay?"

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

Speechless asked:
"What about the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow? Shall we go to the Forbidden City?"

"…What about the day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow is Friday. Don't you have a performance on Saturday? Of course you should go home. Fortunately, you don't have many classes, otherwise I would feel guilty if I delayed your classes for this week."

"..."

Lu Yao became increasingly speechless:

"That is to say...from the very beginning, we came to Yanjing for only one serious matter?"

"Yes."

Xu Ruochu nodded openly and admitted his thoughts:
"The only thing we need to do is to check out the taxi navigation system. Of course... after a while, when they have modified it according to your request, we will come again. But... at that time, I want to go to Tsu City."

"Why go there?"

"Because I have a few restaurants that I think are delicious, and I want to take you there."

"Are you familiar with Tsu City?"

"Very familiar. Or rather, I am familiar with any city with a port."

Xu Ruochu said, raised her head and looked straight into his eyes:

"So, do you agree?"

she asked.

This time, she didn't think about the future or the past.

The central army advanced straight in.
