Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 14 14. Bridge and Flowing Water Restaurant
"This car is heading to Optics Valley Plaza."

Everything inside the bus was the same as usual.

Noisy, cramped, humans packed together like sardines.

The two men aimed at the last gap and pushed forward. Zhou Mingyuan held the railing tightly with one hand and put his other hand around Zhong Yuyun's shoulders, forcibly opening up a space between them.

This time, she didn't react as strongly as last time.

"I regret it."

Zhou Mingyuan was talking to himself, and to others, they looked like a young couple whispering to each other.

"If I had known the bus was so crowded and we couldn't get a taxi, I should have asked a colleague to give us a ride."

"Ah, but that's all I can do."

"After all, I don't know her well, and she's just passing through. It's impossible for her to really come and be my driver."

Zhong Yuyun remained silent throughout the whole process.

Because at this moment, she was very close to Zhou Mingyuan, and she could even feel the man's hot breath between her temples and forehead.

The 538 bus on a rainy day is so fast that it makes you feel weightless.

Not only the weight of the body, but also the heart was raised to the throat.

She didn't dare look up.

too close.

It's really too close.

Several layers of social distance were physically broken in an instant, causing Zhong Yuyun to no longer remember that Zhou Mingyuan had just secretly held her hand.

Strictly speaking, it doesn't seem to be the case.
Just the wrist.

Zhong Yuyun had no time to speak. She held onto the railing and tensed her body to avoid accidentally falling into the other person's arms.

She kept her jaw slightly retracted throughout the whole process, revealing her high ponytail and fair neck.

With every breath in and out of my nose, I could smell the scent of a young girl's shampoo.

Fresh notes of English pear and freesia.

"There's a seat available, go ahead."

As the bus approached the terminal, Guanggu Square, passengers got off one after another and finally a seat was vacated.

Zhou Mingyuan took a step forward and helped Zhong Yuyun take it.

The sky outside the window was still covered with dark clouds, cut into geometric shapes by the glass of the bus, and the surroundings were filled with dim light from neon lights and car lights.

Zhong Yuyun sat by the window on the bus. From her perspective, it looked like a beautiful backlit shot in a movie.

The boy stood straight, with a high nose bridge, a prominent Adam's apple, and a particularly good-looking profile.

She suddenly understood why Zhou Mingyuan had such a gentle and refined temperament.

He did not participate in the entire military training and his skin was relatively fair, unlike the boys in his class who were several shades darker.

And I don’t know if it’s due to skin care, getting up early, self-discipline or other reasons.

It seemed that even the pores on his face had become smaller, and his face was smooth, delicate, and angular, without any of the roughness and unevenness of an ordinary boy.

Boys change a lot as they grow older.
Yes, it looks good.

Could it be because of the facial mask I gave him?
She turned her head to look out the window, trying to use the night to hide the blush that was secretly spreading on her face.

The first dinner gathering of Class 5 of Liaocheng was scheduled at a private restaurant.

"Who chose this place? Why are you here?"

Before entering, Zhou Mingyuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

This restaurant is beautifully decorated and very classy, ​​and the average cost per person seems to be in the three digits.

It’s not cheap for freshmen, especially for parties with a lot of people.

Don’t we usually eat at barbecue and hotpot restaurants?
When did consumption upgrade?

"Liu Zhe chose this. We were all planning on having barbecue, but he insisted on choosing this place, saying it tasted especially good."

Zhong Yuyun spread out her hands, looking indifferent.

"Yuyun, here, here!"

There were two empty seats at the revolving table. Two men and two women sat in the private room and waved to Zhong Yuyun and Zhou Mingyuan who arrived last.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't get a taxi, so I had to wait for the bus for half a day." After all, she was a few minutes late, so Zhong Yuyun stuck out her tongue to express her apology.

"Come on, come on, what do you want to eat?"

The man sitting in the center is called Liu Zhe.

It was he who took the initiative to come forward and set up this situation.

He stood up and handed the menu directly to Zhong Yuyun, almost ignoring the fact that there was a man next to him.

“It’s so expensive.”

Zhong Yuyun didn't notice her classmate's little action. She tore the menu away and walked towards Zhou Mingyuan.

It's really expensive.

This Chinese restaurant with a small bridge and flowing water is more expensive than she imagined.

"Don't worry, we've already ordered because Liu Zhe just emphasized again and again that it's his treat tonight."

The girl who spoke next to her was named Gu Wanwan, and she had a very good relationship with Zhong Yuyun.

"it's not good?"

Zhou Mingyuan interrupted and kept staring at Liu Zhe.

"Boss Liu has been really generous lately."

Gu Wanwan raised her eyebrows, smiled and pulled Zhong Yuyun's sleeve: "Let's invite him back next time, don't be polite to him this time."

"."

Zhong Yuyun didn't say anything. After asking Zhou Mingyuan's opinion, she lowered her head and ordered two dishes at random.

"How about a drink?"

When everyone arrived and the cold dishes were brought to the table by the waiter, someone immediately made a suggestion.

"No feast is complete without wine. The weather forecast says there's no military training tomorrow, so come on, have a drink!"

Among the six people, Gu Wanwan, who loved drinking the most, immediately seconded the proposal.

"It's all right."

The female classmate first suggested having a drink to cheer herself up, and the boys naturally had no objection at this time.

After graduating from high school, many people learn to act like adults and start to let themselves go.

Not only do people drink at dinner parties, but they also have to chat occasionally to show their maturity.

A box of local specialty beer - Jinlongquan was brought to the table by the waiter, and Liu Zhe gave two bottles to each person.

"Come on, from high school to college, we were destined to be together in Jiangcheng. Let's toast to our new life!"

"cheers!"

In the middle was a dry pot beef dish, and everyone drank a whole glass of wine with laughter while enjoying the surging steam.

Under the influence of alcohol, the young people who used to be in Class 5 of Liaocheng No. 1 Middle School quickly opened up.

From where the classmates we met went to what we saw and heard when we first arrived in Jiangcheng.

Although Jiangcheng is located in central China, it is still considered the south for people from the north, so it takes a while to get used to it.

Hot and humid weather in the ditch, roommates who speak poor Mandarin, a crowded core business district, and beautiful women everywhere
"We have so many beautiful girls at Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music!"

"Compared to Yunyun?"

"What a comparison! The beauties I see on the street are all wearing makeup and they can't compare to her. Hard work is nothing compared to talent."

The topic came up one after another. After all, everyone was young people from a small town, so it was easy for them to empathize with each other and chat happily.

"The crayfish at Jing Jing Steamed Shrimp are just average. I've tried all the big brands lately, and I still think Fei Fei is better!"

When talking about the famous local food in Jiangcheng, Liu Zhe's voice suddenly became louder.

"Hey, Liu Zhe. School has only just started a few days ago, and you've already tried everything so quickly?"

Lu Shiya couldn't help but ask curiously.

"It's okay. I'm a little bit tired of the food in the cafeteria. I usually eat out and explore the restaurants."

Liu Zhe smiled and crossed his arms, looking disapproving.
