Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 139: Courtship

Views:

Sitting in the spacious and bright store, the bright incandescent lights overhead shone down, projecting the silhouettes of two people.

The pot in front of him was boiling, and Li Wei hurriedly poured down the plate of meatballs.

There is nothing more pleasant than eating hot pot in winter. He owns a hotpot restaurant, and with Liu Chunzhi's secret base ingredients, Li Wei can't help but make mental comparisons when eating other people's hotpots. She is still used to the smell of home.

Today is Christmas Eve. Although it is not customary to celebrate Christmas in China, the business in the store is very good during the weekend. Zhong Yanjun helped Li Wei cook the food diligently and thoughtfully, and said a few words from time to time, which was not annoying.

Because it is not far from the school, all the people who come to visit are students. Li Wei saw Zheng Xuejiao and her boyfriend. They looked at each other, smiled, nodded, and Zheng Xuejiao sat in the inner seat.

"Will you host the party again this year?"

"Yes, yes. Do you want to come and support me?"

"That's natural." It was Li Wei who left a deep impression on Zhong Yanjun at last year's New Year's Day party, and then he set out to pursue Li Wei. It's been a year, and the two of them haven't officially gotten married yet. Establish relationships. Today is a special day. It's time for a showdown, and Zhong Yanjun doesn't want to linger any longer.

After Li Wei finished eating, Zhong Yanjun also put down his chopsticks and took the initiative to pay the bill. The two of them left the store one after another. Next it’s time to go to the cinema.

The time was just right. When he was about to enter the cinema, Zhong Yanjun wanted to buy a Coke, but Li Wei stopped him: "I don't like drinking it, so don't buy mine."

Zhong Yanjun had no choice but to give up after hearing this. They entered the cinema and their seats were in the middle of the second to last row. It was said that this was her first time watching a movie with her companions. The movie hasn't started yet, and trailers for other movies are being played.

Li Wei sat down, and soon the movie started. The title flashed past, and the title of "A Chinese Journey to the West: Moonlight Box" appeared. What kind of movie is this? Li Wei's eyes were quickly attracted by the content on the screen. She had watched Journey to the West since she was a child, but the alternative interpretation made her feel very novel. I have to say that compared to those zombie films and suspense films that pretend to be gods and ghosts, this kind of alternative film seems to be more to her liking.

When she saw the Supreme Treasure using the Moonlight Box to travel five hundred years, her heart suddenly moved, and the person she thought of was Zhao Qian. If Zhao Qian can come to this era, will there be a mysterious magic weapon similar to the Moonlight Box? She didn't have time to ask last time, and she didn't want to ask now.

The whole film is light-hearted and humorous, making people laugh from time to time, and Li Wei's entire emotion is integrated into it.

Compared with Li Wei's investment, Zhong Yanjun seemed to be a little distracted. In the dim light shining through the screen, he saw Li Wei's hand on the armrest. The hand was right in front of him. His heart moved and he wanted to touch it. , but before his fingers could touch it, Li Wei suddenly withdrew his hand and picked his nose. Not a good time. After repeated attempts like this, he never succeeded in holding the jade hand. The ending song played and subtitles appeared. People got up, the lights turned on, and Li Wei stood up too. She had a smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was very happy. Seeing Li Wei's smile, Zhong Yanjun also felt happy.

The movie was not long, and it was only after nine o'clock when I left the cinema. The two of them walked back, and then Zhong Yanjun asked to go for a walk on the playground. Li Wei did not refuse his request.

Because of the cold weather, not many people came to the playground for exercise and dates. After walking around for a while, Zhong Yanjun went up to the stands, where the lights just illuminated him. Li Wei sat next to him and looked into the field. In winter, the lawn became a little desolate.

"I know today is your birthday, and I have prepared a birthday gift for you. I have been looking for a chance to give it to you. I hope you like it." Zhong Yanjun said, taking out a beautifully wrapped paper gift from his coat pocket. The box has a beautiful bow tied with a purple ribbon.

Li Wei took it with both hands and said thank you.

Zhong Yanjun suddenly felt a little embarrassed and turned his head, not daring to look directly into Li Wei's eyes.

"Li Wei, do you know how long I have known you?"

Li Wei shook his head.

"It's been almost a year. The first time I saw you was at the New Year's Day party. You were wearing a bright red dress that day. You were tall and elegant, and you immediately attracted the attention of many people. Maybe you also I don’t know, there were a lot of people down there secretly asking for your information. Your appearance that day left a deep impression on me, and I have never forgotten it. I tried to get close to you later, but I saw you. I ignored those suitors and hesitated. I was afraid of disturbing you and never dared to take any big actions. This is my personality. I always feel that it is better not to do anything that I am not sure about. "

"After this semester started, I'm still watching you. Maybe you don't even know."

Li smiled slightly and said, "I am sometimes very careless and don't care enough about other things."

"After getting close to you, I feel that you actually have a good personality. You are not as aloof and arrogant as they say. Instead, I feel very easy-going. I feel no pressure at all when I get along with you. I like being with you very much." Zhong Yanjun As soon as he turned his head, he saw Li Wei's kind eyes like stars, and ripples appeared in his heart.

What Zhong Yanjun said next was even more straightforward: "Li Wei, I like you very much."

The sudden confession made Li Wei's heart tremble. It was obvious that she had no defense at all and her eyes were slightly glazed over.

"What do you think of me as a person?"

Li Wei said his feelings truthfully: "You... are very good."

"How about being my girlfriend?" Zhong Yanjun's attitude was extremely sincere.

"I..." Li Wei didn't dare to look at Zhong Yanjun's burning gaze. She looked at the lawn again, hesitated for a while and then said: "Can you let me think about it carefully?"

Li Wei did not reject him immediately, which made Zhong Yanjun very happy.

After returning to the dormitory, Li Wei noticed that the paper box was printed with roses, and there were rows of "I Love You" on it. She opened the wrapping paper and found a flat white cardboard box. There is a thin chain inside. The pendant is in the shape of a water drop and is set with a few crushed zircons, which sparkle under the light.

"What a delicate necklace. Who gave it to me?" Chen Zhu took a look.

Li smiled slightly, then put the chain back into the box.

The sudden confession caught Li Wei off guard. She had never tasted love and had no idea what love was like. Zhong Yanjun was the first person to take the initiative to approach her and be willing to like her. Li Wei treats this relationship very carefully.

"Westward Journey" has been released during the time period of writing, so the plot needs no verification.
