Cultivation Shura Field

I used to be quite lonely, but now I am no longer lonely.

The girl placed her chin on his shoulder and continued, "I used to think that people my age were too stupid and adults were too vulgar and boring. But you are different. From the first day I met you, I realized that you are different from others. Not stupid or vulgar at all. So when I'm with you, I never seem to feel bored."

Xu Zhe secretly broke into a sweat.

He had a feeling that something he had never experienced before might happen. Was it a confession? Was Sister Lan going to confess? Then what should he say, should he agree?

He felt that he was not mentally ready to truly begin an intimate relationship, but he couldn't say no.

The Ferris wheel was still turning slowly. The cabin the two were in was already taller than the ordinary residential buildings nearby, but still much lower than the skyscrapers farther away.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the amusement park, away from the laughter and screams, the surroundings became exceptionally quiet.

I don't know when the sun in the sky was covered by clouds, so the light in the field of vision became much softer. This slightly hazy sky light seemed more suitable for whispering.

Shen Lan's breath was as sweet as orchid in his ear, and every syllable seemed to carry magic, drilling into his eardrum: "I was very nervous today, because this day is special, we are adults. And it's my first time in a place like this. But as long as I'm with you, I will relax unconsciously, as if everything is becoming more and more interesting."

Xu Zhe forced a smile: "Same here, same here."

Shen Lan took a deep breath, and then her voice became a little trembling: "Then can I understand that your feelings towards me are the same as my feelings towards you?"

If you are a true veteran in the love field, you should understand that this is almost a confession.

But the inexperienced straight man subconsciously answered: "Everyone's feelings are different, so it's hard to confirm. For example, if the spiciness is the same, you may think it's just right, but someone else may think it's too spicy."

Shen Lan was silent for a moment, then continued: "Then let me tell you how I feel. I hope time can stop at today."

Xu Zhe stared blankly at the window glass. The reflection on the glass showed his own expression and the girl's blushing cheeks.

She continued softly, "Of course I know time can't stop. So, I just hope that we can play together and move forward together more often like today."

Xu Zhe: "Well, of course you can..."

Shen Lan asked again: "Can we go far together?"

Xu Zhe was silent. He certainly realized that at this moment, the girl next to him had attacked him on some level. The question was, did he really want to resist?

At this moment, a "pop" sound was heard in the silent enclosed space, slightly disrupting the ambiguous atmosphere.

When Xu Zhe looked up, he found that the clouds outside the window had become quite thick, and the "pop" sound just now was rang again, and it became more and more frequent and dense.

He murmured, "It's raining..."

"Yes, it's raining." Shen Lan suddenly sat up straight and her little face moved away from his shoulder.

There was a slight distance between their faces, so Xu Zhe could turn his head to look at her without worrying about bumping into her as he turned his head.

Facing his silent gaze, Shen Lan suddenly whispered, "If I accidentally brought you too much pressure just now, I'm sorry, I don't want to embarrass you. I just want to tell you that I am really happy when I am with you."

Xu Zhe suddenly smiled: "I am very happy too. So yes, we can be together often in the future. Relax together, work together, and study together. We will have plenty of time and opportunities in the future."

There will be plenty of time and opportunities in the future. What does this "later" mean? After he goes to college?

Shen Lan immediately realized a problem - if she really confirmed her relationship with him now, then in more than half a year, this relationship would inevitably become a long-distance relationship because he was two grades younger than her.

Is a long-distance relationship dangerous? Will it be easy for someone to take advantage of you?

But if we are not sure about the relationship now, wouldn’t it be more dangerous if I go to college and leave Xu Zhe alone in middle school?

So we can’t stop - thinking of this, Shen Lan suddenly grabbed his hand.

The girl asked tentatively: "Do you like this?"

Xu Zhe was too embarrassed to say he liked it, so he replied, "It's pretty good."

The next moment, this small enclosed space seemed to solidify.

Because Shen Lan's next question was: "So, do you like me?"

2023-10-25

do you like me?

When Shen Lan's question really came to light, Xu Zhe suddenly realized that he really liked the short-haired girl in front of him.But it's not just her that I like.

This put him in an unsolvable dilemma.

It's like a card drawing game, there are three characters you want to draw, but you only have one chance to draw a card. What should you do?

Procrastination is most likely to strike when it’s hard to make a choice.

When Xu Zhe's eyes began to struggle and his brows furrowed slightly, Shen Lan, who was staring at him, noticed it in an instant and couldn't help but feel panicked.

He doesn't like himself enough?

He doesn't want to choose between several girls?

He doesn't want to be in a relationship yet?

The girl didn't know why he was struggling and hesitating. She only knew that she couldn't bear the consequences of him saying "no". Just imagining that possibility made her chest stagnate and it was difficult to breathe.

The courage I had finally gathered today disappeared as soon as I saw him frown.

Shen Lan quickly said: "It's okay if you don't want to say it..."

The usually arrogant senior sister now showed a look of fear and trepidation. Xu Zhe couldn't help but feel distressed by her anxious look.

So he subconsciously said, "I like you. I like you very much."

Shen Lan was stunned.

Xu Zhe didn't have time to think about what to do with the other two girls. All he cared about at this moment was not to hurt the person in front of him.

Shen Lan whispered: "I like you too. Since we both like each other, why not..."

"Don't want to fall in love?" Xu Zhe gently rubbed the tip of his nose, "Because I'm really not ready. My life plan doesn't reach the stage of falling in love yet."

Shen Lan thought about it and asked tentatively: "Like a single thread?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, arrange them in order, and have a clear plan of what to do first and what to do later. In my plan, I have to start my own business to a certain extent before considering love."

So Shen Lan recalled the entrepreneurial blueprint that Xu Zhe had described to her in Nanjiao Park that year. Indeed, such a complex plan would definitely take a lot of time and energy to implement.

Shen Lan murmured, "That's right. Just the game I made needs to be operated after it goes online. If something goes wrong and the project is abandoned halfway, it will be a big loss..."

Xu Zhe nodded.

In fact, he knew that this kind of stand-alone buyout game didn't require too much effort to operate, and if it really didn't work out, he could hire a full-time operator, and he could afford it now - but of course he wouldn't have such an unnecessary explanation.

He just subconsciously wanted to postpone it and not face that annoying multiple-choice question.

The girl suddenly asked again: "If you reach the stage where you want to fall in love, will you look for me?"

Xu Zhe said confidently: "I will definitely look for you first, as long as you agree."

Anyway, he was with Shen Lan now, and Xiao Ye and Fei Fei couldn't hear him, so of course he had to say this. Besides, he felt that if he wanted to have a relationship, he needed to have a deep spiritual connection, and a smart senior with a scientific mindset might be more suitable for him.

Shen Lan couldn't help laughing.

Xu Zhe looked down. His hand was still held by her, with no intention of letting go.

Shen Lan suddenly whispered: "What kind of relationship do we have now? We are not lovers yet, but we are different from ordinary friends. It is not right to say that we are siblings..."

Xu Zhe thought for a moment and answered decisively: "A boyfriend-girlfriend relationship by appointment."

Shen Lan was stunned: "Is this also possible to make an appointment?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "Yeah."

Shen Lan couldn't help but ask again: "Is there a time limit for this reservation? The game also needs a release date. Even if it will be delayed, at least a time point should be announced first."

"Then we'll go to college. We'll be apart for the next two years. I'll stay here, and you'll go to the Magic City. It's too far..."

At this point, Xu Zhe suddenly remembered the suggestion made by Associate Professor Zou when he got the qualification for admission.

Should I go to college early?

His answer at that time was no. But now thinking about it, if he agreed, he might be able to enroll with Shen Lan at the same time next year, and then live a life of two people in a top university...

Imagining that scene, Xu Zhe found that his feelings were actually somewhat complicated. He had yearning, but also some regrets.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Shen Lan asked: "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhe shook his head: "Nothing."

He just wanted to sigh that he was really a nobody. He was OK at studying and playing games, but when it came to love, it was like a tangled cotton thread that couldn't be sorted out.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. Looking out from the cockpit, nothing could be seen clearly. Countless drops of water fell on the glass, distorting the vision.

The two sat there holding hands in silence for a long time.

The only sound in our ears was the rain, besides the sound of each other's breathing.

Shen Lan suddenly asked: "We didn't bring an umbrella, what should we do later?"

Xu Zhe: "There should be someone selling umbrellas in the amusement park... It doesn't matter. Even if we can't buy an umbrella, we can just get wet in the rain and take the bus back quickly."

"Okay, it's up to you."

Shen Lan said this and leaned lightly on his shoulder.

----

Fortunately, someone was selling umbrellas at the exit below the Ferris wheel. Although the quality of the umbrellas was very poor and they were twice as expensive, it didn't matter to Xu Zhe.

Unfortunately, after walking for a while in the rain with an umbrella, he realized that it was windy today. The wind was not strong, but it was enough to blow the raindrops onto people.

Even if you have an umbrella, it can only keep your upper body dry.

Therefore, when Xu Zhe and Shen Lan got into the taxi, there was no dry place below their waists, and their shoes were already soaked, making them feel very uncomfortable.

The two sat together in the back seat of the car.

Xu Zhe looked out the car window and felt that his emotions were more complicated than the raindrops on the glass.

Although they said "make an appointment for boyfriend and girlfriend", from the Ferris wheel to the taxi, whenever they could hold hands, Shen Lan always held his hand tightly, and their fingers were intertwined. Anyone who saw it would think that these two young men and women must be real lovers.

He turned his head and took another quick glance.

Shen Lan held him with one hand and held the phone in the other, staring down at the screen. That phone was given to her by herself today, and she was having a great time.

She really looked happy—the corners of her mouth were upturned and her eyes showed an irrepressible smile.

Shen Lan was obviously very satisfied with today's progress.

Seeing her like this, Xu Zhe was also slightly relieved. No matter what happened in the future, at least now, Xu Zhe hoped to see her happy.

259. Chapter 258 257 How can you sleep?

259.

Shen Lan and Xu Zhe returned to his residence.

It was the time when the students were in class, the school gate was closed, and they had to confront the guard to get in. Besides, they couldn't take a shower in the dormitory, and had to go to the bathroom downstairs. It was easy to catch a cold if they ran around with a wet body... So Shen Lan came to his house to take a shower.

After entering the room, the first thing Xu Zhe did was to take out a sweater and trousers from the closet and said, "Would you wash them first and come out later to change into this set?"

He didn't dare let her go through the closet by herself. After all, he remembered clearly that Song Xingye's maid outfit was hanging in the closet. How would he explain this to Shen Lan?

I can't say that those belong to other girls, so I can only say that I have a fetish for wearing women's clothes.

Shen Lan took the clothes, subconsciously held it in front of her face and sniffed it.

Seeing this, Xu Zhe quickly said, "It was clean."

Shen Lan stared at him and smiled: "I know, I won't dislike it."

Does it mean that you won’t dislike the ones that are washed clean, or does it mean that the ones that are not washed are the same?

Xu Zhe didn't dare to think about it and changed the subject: "Then you should take a hot bath quickly. By the way, I don't have any girls' underwear. Do you want me to buy you a new set?"
