Back to the prime of life

Chapter 48 Don't Be Anxious

Lu Changge's honesty gradually increased as he grew older. The more he thought about how much time had passed in his life, the less time he was willing to waste to hide his inner feelings.

That’s why Yin Anyan asked this.

He answered without hesitation.

Two very concise words, so concise that it seems like such a scene shouldn't happen in this conversation.

Yin Anyan was also a little impulsive. After asking the question, she didn't know how to respond to Lu Changge's answer.

But she noticed that Lu Changge was always looking at her, so she smiled shyly at him.

"Are you... sure?"

"You wait."

Wait a moment?
Yin Anyan looked at him in surprise. But seeing Lu Changge closing his eyes and covering his heart, he asked, "Hey, did you hear that? Secretary Yin asked if you were sure. Oh, then I know."

Then Lu Changge opened his eyes and replied, "I just asked my heart, and it said yes."

"Puchi." Yin Anyan smiled, like a blooming peach blossom, which made people feel warm even in winter.

Perhaps her legs were numb from squatting, so she stood up again and stood beside Lu Changge, watching the water lanterns drifting away in the distance. "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Yes." Lu Changge looked at her, "I want you to like me too."

Yin Anyan blushed again, glancing down slightly, "If I didn't like you, why would I ask you?"

Bang, bang, bang.

Hearing this obvious hint, even Lu Changge couldn't help but feel a little excited, and his heartbeat quickened.

As for his face, he naturally couldn't hide the smile.

But he didn't hear any affirmative sentences, and he felt that it was not perfect.

Seeing that he was still struggling, Yin Anyan continued, "On Christmas Eve, you said you lost. In fact, you will definitely lose."

"What do you mean?"

"Because, in this matter of who is better to whom, I never intended to let you win from the beginning."

Lu Changge's heart was suddenly filled with sweetness. What's the saying? People in love are the best poets!

"Lao Lu!"

On the shore, Cheng Yongyi and Qin Jun were calling him.

Yin Anyan quickly changed his affectionate expression and acted like a normal person.

"Let's go find them."

"it is good."

After returning to shore, Cheng Yongyi said, "The lanterns are all gone. We're going to walk towards Zhongshan Road. It'll probably take more than 20 minutes. Is that okay?"

Lu Changge asked Yin Anyan, "I think we'll have to walk quite a bit today. Are your feet sore?"

"Not bad." She seemed to be not very good at adjusting her expression, and she still looked very embarrassed at this moment.

Qin Jun and Cheng Yongyi were both a little puzzled. They were fine just now, so why were they embarrassed?

But they can't care so much.

An Yihuan also came over to ask Yin Anyan, but also didn't get anything out of him.

But this time when they set out again, Yin Anyan joined the girls' team and did not go with Lu Changge.

I don’t know what this girl is thinking.

So Lu Changge went with Li Ming.

"What activities are there over there tonight?" he asked Li Ming.

"There's a music show, and they say there are celebrities."

Lu Changge was still wondering who it could be, but he never thought it would be the singer who sang "Mouse Loves Rice".

This song has become extremely popular in recent years, and almost all of the 14 of them can hum a few lines.

So everyone took the small sign that Cheng Yongyi had found and sang along while shaking it in their hands.

The music was extremely loud and the warm atmosphere was driving everyone along. In the end it didn’t matter what we sang, we just danced to the melody and rhythm.

During this process, Lu Changge's mood gradually began to rise. Before going out today, he just thought it was an ordinary New Year's Eve.

He never expected that he would not only receive a call about the demolition, but also confirm Yin Anyan's intentions.

The year 2006 seemed to have a remarkable ending.

There were more and more people on the streets of Zhongshan Road, and for safety reasons, boys began to use their bodies to protect girls.

Yin Anyan returned to his side again.

They followed the flow of people, moving from one end of Zhongshan Road to the other, until one moment,
Bang.

Then came the cheers and screams of the crowd.

"It's fireworks!" Yin Anyan said excitedly, pointing to the sky.

Bang, bang!
Two more gorgeous fireworks rose into the sky.

The city sky was lit up by these brilliant colors, which combined with Yin Anyan's smile became a moment that Lu Changge would not forget for a long time.

"Goodbye, 2006!"

I don’t know which passerby shouted this.

Lu Changge listened very attentively and was deeply moved, so he repeated softly, "Goodbye, 2006." Yin Anyan was extremely beautiful under the fireworks. She smiled and kept pointing at the fireworks in the sky that were changing into different shapes for Lu Changge to see.

“I’m so happy.”

While laughing, she noticed that there was a shop on the street selling ice cream, so she said she wanted to eat three-color ice cream in the middle of winter.

Of course Lu Changge bought it for her.

After she licked it, her teeth were so cold that they almost fell out, but she laughed out loud.

"Do you want to try it?"

"Okay."

Lu Changge reached out to take it.

But she twisted her body to avoid it and said, "No, I'll dig it out for you to eat."

I dug out the box that she ate. Actually, they only bought one box and they ate it together.

When Lu Changge saw Yin Anyan's performance, he suddenly realized that he had forgotten what a girl's vitality and cuteness were.

For example, now, he hasn't eaten ice cream fed to him by others for a long time.

Only Cui Lanxia and Qin Jun saw this scene. Everyone else had dispersed. Qin Jun was fine, but Cui Lanxia was a little bit incredulous. "Lu Changge is so lucky to have such a beautiful girl feeding him."

"This guy." Qin Jun was also happy for him, so he didn't bother him and continued walking forward holding Cui Lanxia's hand.

Later, everyone in 308 started messaging each other because it was so crowded that it was hard to avoid getting separated.

But it’s better this way. Since we’ve gotten separated, it’s compounding the problem. On this special night, some people don’t want to go back to the dormitory to sleep.

Lu Changge naturally didn't care about those things. He took Yin Anyan to try some snacks on the street and buy some souvenirs.

The pixel of mobile phone cameras is very poor these days, and there are people on the roadside who charge for taking photos. The two of them leaned against each other and took a photo with the bustling Left Bank Commercial Street as the background.

After eating and drinking to our heart's content and having a great time, and feeling a little tired, we started planning our return trip.

Li Ming also called him and asked him to get together.

Lu Changge was so tired that his calves were sore. He didn't want to look for them anymore, so he told them not to wait for him.

"Are we going alone? Where are the others?" Yin Anyan was still curious.

"Some people will go back, some won't. It's a mess. We should just go back on our own. It's okay."

“Who wouldn’t go back?”

This……

Didn't she think about that?
Lu Changge said, "An Yihuan, Tian Ruoxue, you definitely won't be able to wait for them tonight."

"Ah..." She covered her mouth in shock and shame, "They didn't tell me before."

"How do I say something like this? Should I announce it to the dormitory before I leave, telling everyone I'm going out with my boyfriend tonight?"

Yin Anyan suddenly thought of another problem: what if Lu Changge suddenly asked to go out to sleep? In fact, although he had been talking about others, he might have been hinting at her.

So all the time she was sitting in the taxi, she was worried about this matter, feeling scared, nervous, and also looking forward to it.

But in fact, Lu Changge didn't mention it at all, and he didn't plan to mention it.

but……

Another thing happened when I got out of the taxi and walked into the school gate.

He deliberately touched her hand lightly. The touch startled Yin Anyan so much that she looked at him quickly, but she did not dodge.

"I've been wondering when I can catch it." After trying once, Lu Changge caught it.

The campus was quiet and deserted late at night, with only the street lights standing quietly on the roadside. The two separate human figures on the ground changed from long to short, and then from short to long, and finally the two hand shadows merged together.

It’s a pity that I can’t feel the softness and smoothness of the girl’s skin when wearing gloves in winter.

However, the throbbing in my heart makes even such contact full of beauty and ambiguity.

"When did you start to like me?" Lu Changge was a little curious about this question.

"I thought you knew," she said.

"If you don't tell me, even if I feel it, I won't believe it."

"why?"

Lu Changge said, "Because true love can make people feel inferior. This kind of inferiority complex doesn't come from feeling that they are not good enough, but from feeling that you are too good."

These words stirred Yin Anyan's girlish heart, and she felt like her bones were going soft.

But when I think about it again, could it be that he has low self-esteem?

She had no awareness of this at all, and perhaps she should have expressed herself more passionately. Since she had never been in a relationship before, she didn't know how to deal with it and was afraid that she might have done something wrong.

For example, she was just thinking about other couples not returning to the dormitory.

So when Lu Changge sent her to the dormitory building and they were about to say goodbye, she finally couldn't help but speak.

"wait."

"what happened?"

Yin Anyan took two steps forward, his eyes evasive as he said, "Let's go back today. Don't be anxious, don't overthink it, just give me some time, okay?"

Lu Changge was stunned for a few seconds before he understood the meaning of this sentence.
