Lu Shizhen would never have thought that Xu Shiyue would make such a request to her.
The sun had already risen to the dome, and bright golden light was pouring in from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Xu Shiyue was sitting in the spot where the light was the brightest, casually turning the rose in her hand, and waiting for an answer from herself with great patience.
kiss…
Lu Shizhen had read the original text over and over again no less than three times. She knew clearly that Xu Shiyue's kiss belonged only to Shen Yanxing.
If someone told her in the original world that Xu Shiyue would kiss someone other than Shen Yanxing one day, Lu Shizhen would never believe it.
But Xu Shiyue has now turned the kiss with him into a bargaining chip for her to gain power.
And just last night, they actually kissed in this place.
The red rope of bondage turned into a chain of confinement as the angle changed, and the heavy iron seemed to be able to drag the whole world along with it with just a shake.
Lu Shizhen didn't know when she began to hate this fate that had been agreed upon from the beginning. She just looked at Xu Shiyue who was sitting alone in front of her, her eyes moving slightly.
She was going to leave.
So it's not impossible to leave her a kiss.
Even if she would kiss Shen Yanxing later, she would still stand side by side with Shen Yanxing and spend the rest of her life together.
But in her kiss, there is something that belongs to him, a fact that even the main system cannot erase.
There are always some paranoid resistance that will not be noticed by others.
The snake's scales made a slight rustling sound as they passed over the dense grass, and suddenly it coiled around the lush tree in the center of the field.
Lu Shizhen had wondered in the past why a snake's tongue was divided into two parts, which looked hideous and terrifying, yet also had a strange beauty.
But she understood now.
—That is a despicable ** that does not belong to it and cannot bear.
Light and shadow flashed by, and Xu Shiyue's lips were pried open without any preparation.
There was no space for movement on the narrow sofa, and Lu Shizhen relied on his tall figure to completely cover Xu Shiyue.
Although she was prepared, Xu Shiyue was still caught off guard and held in this man's arms. His slightly cold knees were against her legs without any gap.
The faint scent of soapberries wafted into Xu Shiyue's nose as the sun's temperature gradually rose; the ordinary scent was easily suppressed by the rose.
Lu Shizhen's kissing skills were not that great. She had never been in a relationship in these years, let alone kissing. She just relied on the little skills she learned last night to kiss Xu Shiyue's lips awkwardly.
It was more of a collision than a kiss.
Lu Shizhen's lips almost hit Xu Shiyue directly, and her soft lips turned red with blood before she experienced anything.
Xu Shiyue frowned slightly in pain, then lowered her eyes and looked down at the lips that had touched hers last night.
The close proximity magnified everything. The pair of dark eyes were so close, and the thin eyelashes were trembling with nervousness.
This person is still as reckless and clumsy as ever.
No matter how much she denies it, this is her Lu Shizhen.
Xu Shiyue's eyebrows moved slightly, and he raised his hand and inserted his fingers into Lu Shizhen's hair.
The rose that was being played with in the hands fell to the ground, and only the smell of soapberry remained in the warm breath.
Xu Shiyue lowered his eyelashes and looked at the girl in front of him, but it didn't matter whether it was a rose or a soapberry.
As long as it's her.
The sunlight enveloped the two people leaning against each other under the window frame, and the world was so quiet that it seemed as if only the two of them were left.
The hand that was originally resting on the armrest reached down and silently and accurately grasped the hand hanging on the seat.
Xu Shiyue's meticulously long hair finally fell from her ears and rested leisurely on Lu Shizhen's shoulder.
The softness and warmth collide with each other, lightly hooking and entangled in an invisible place.
Some things are always learned suddenly through practice. Lu Shizhen seemed to have come to his senses. He put his hand on one side and went around Xu Shiyue's neck, supporting the back of her neck so that she could kiss him more easily when she tilted her head back.
The soft sofa supported Xu Shiyue's limp body, but it also formed a sharp contrast with the slightly hard calluses on the sides of her fingers on her neck.
The tiny clusters of nerve endings trembled faintly like seaweed. Xu Shiyue kissed Lu Shizhen with all her might, but she could also clearly feel the changes in this man's fingers over the years.
She is now a somewhat successful cartoonist.
She has an identity that is completely her own, and she lives the life she wants with it.
She is free.
Before last night.
Xu Shiyue's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she raised her eyes slightly to look at the person in front of her who was kissing her.
That awkward yet extremely gentle kiss was real, and those eyes that I had seen countless times in my dreams were also real.
She is Lu Shizhen.
She is no longer Lu Shizhen.
Xu Shiyue knew that she could not selfishly destroy Lu Shizhen's dream, and could only resort to despicable means to gain more favor.
It's despicable so be it.
She's not a good person anyway.
It was hard to say whether Xu Shiyue forced Lu Shizhen to stay or Lu Shizhen was unwilling to get up.
When they separated, neither of them's breathing was very calm.
Xu Shiyue looked at Lu Shizhen with heavy eyes as she leaned over and was above his sight, her slightly opened lips showing a strangely seductive red.
The clasped hands have not been separated yet.
The arms that were hanging down moved slightly twice in the sunlight, and Xu Shiyue finally pulled his hands out of the clasped fingers.
She glanced at the Siamese cat not far away, whose head was being held in Yuanzi's mouth, and said in a calm voice: "Take your cat with you. I'll take you back to the hotel."
.
Lu Shizhen has only driven a sports car twice in his life, both times in City S.
The last time it was Cheng Meiyan’s red Porsche, and this time it was Xu Shiyue’s silver-white Bugatti Veyron.
Lu Shizhen had never driven such a luxurious car in her life. Before getting in the car, she even warned her fake cat Qiuqiu not to move around or stretch out her claws, as they couldn't afford the compensation if they damaged it.
Today's weather is really nice.
There was a bright sun hanging in the sky, and the sky was blue and cloudless.
There were not many cars on the road at this time, and Xu Shiyue was not driving fast.
But this silvery silhouette was so eye-catching that almost all the cars around slowed down to make way for her.
Xu Shiyue looked at the scenery outside the car window without any vehicles blocking it, and said indifferently: "You see, many times you can tell the difference without having to say it."
Lu Shizhen understood what Xu Shiyue said and nodded in agreement. Then she said, "Sorry, I may have recognized the wrong person."
Lu Shizhen was a little surprised, but when he heard that the problem he was going to solve was solved by itself, he couldn't help but feel happy.
But she still had to pretend to be innocent and said helplessly: "Has Miss Xu investigated me?"
Lu Shizhen listened and kept affirming it in his heart.
Her life is different from the original owner's, and this life resume was designed by her personally, so of course there will be no mistakes.
But before Lu Shizhen could breathe a sigh of relief, Xu Shiyue changed the subject and said, "But there is one more thing, you are the same as her."
The light at the intersection ahead turned red at this time, and Xu Shiyue's car slowly stopped.
Lu Shizhen felt guilty when she heard this, and immediately asked curiously: "Ah? Really? Where is that place?"
"You have the same eyes."
Xu Shiyue said this and looked at her calmly.
The wind outside the window suddenly blew into the car, lifting Lu Shizhen's chin-length hair into a mess.
Even though her messy hair covered her eyes, Lu Shizhen's eyes still reflected the dark gemstone color in the sunlight.
This is the only similarity between her and the original owner.
Lu Shizhen's heart immediately tightened.
She didn't expect Xu Shiyue to notice this so quickly. She was overjoyed and nervous: "What a coincidence! How can there be two eyes exactly the same in this world?"
As Lu Shizhen said this, she waved her hand at Xu Shiyue with a smile.
The sunlight poured into the windshield, bright but unable to penetrate Xu Shiyue's eyes.
She just stared at Lu Shizhen, paused for a moment, then slowly withdrew her gaze and said, "That's true."
"How can two people have the same pair of eyes?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the red light at the intersection turned green.
Before Lu Shizhen could figure out what Xu Shiyue meant, the wheels began to roll slowly.
The wind blew past the car window and the car was quiet for a while.
Suddenly, as if greeting each other after a long separation, Xu Shiyue suddenly said to Lu Shizhen: "How have you been recently?"
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment, then thought Xu Shiyue was just killing time and said, "Fortunately, tomorrow is the last stop of the book signing event, and we can rest after the signing is over."
Xu Shiyue nodded, and the floating air fell again.
The scenery outside the window kept receding. Xu Shiyue looked at Yu Guangli, who closed his mouth again and sat quietly and obediently in the passenger seat, and said, "Aren't you going to ask me how I'm doing?"
Lu Shizhen was a little surprised that Xu Shiyue kept talking to her.
She blinked her eyes, hugged Qiuqiu and asked slowly: "What about you? How have you been these years?"
"It's tiring to be alone." Xu Shiyue said.
In fact, this kind of question was really polite. Lu Shizhen even thought that Xu Shiyue just had a sudden thought and would not answer it seriously, but he didn't expect that she told him the truth.
The street scene outside the window was still changing. Lu Shizhen remembered the submissive words Xu Shiyue said last night as she leaned in his arms.
The exhaustion hidden in his eyes came through in his voice.
Lu Shizhen felt a little strange and said softly, "Then stop and take a rest."
"It's almost done. I can stop after I finish the next thing." Xu Shiyue said, "Technology is too expensive."
Lu Shizhen didn't understand what Xu Shiyue meant, and there was confusion in his eyes.
Xu Shiyue tilted her head slightly, and a lot of patience emerged in her indifferent eyes. She explained to her: "The last company my father left me was about artificial intelligence, and its main direction was to study bionic robots. Training a huge system with its own independent thinking is very expensive in the early stage, and it requires a lot of manpower and material resources."
When Lu Shizhen heard Xu Shiyue say this, he subconsciously stroked Qiuqiu who was pretending to sleep in his arms.
Just when she was about to lament that this research was a long and arduous task, Xu Shiyue said to her: "But if there is a ready-made one, it will be easy to crack it. If you reverse it, the mutation of the algorithm will be much smaller, and it will be easier for people to study it thoroughly. Just like..."
Xu Shiyue paused and turned to look at Qiuqiu in Lu Shizhen's arms: "Your cat."
When these words came out, Lu Shizhen's heart skipped a beat.
She didn't know whether the things Xu Shiyue was making now were the same artificial intelligence systems as the ones she was exposed to, and she suddenly felt extremely guilty.
Plus, Xu Shiyue mentioned her cat in a suggestive way...
Did she notice Qiuqiu coming
Lu Shizhen was confused, but still pretended to be puzzled and asked: "My cat? What's wrong with my cat?"
Xu Shiyue was more indifferent than Lu Shizhen, and stared calmly at the road ahead: "It looks a little nervous, is it stressed?"
"?"
Lu Shizhen paused for a moment, then looked down and found Qiuqiu curled up in his arms.
It was pretending to be asleep, but of course it could hear what Xu Shiyue said just now, and was as scared as himself.
Lu Shizhen couldn't help but complain in her heart that Qiuqiu was becoming more and more like a cat, with her reactions being so obvious.
But even though she was complaining, she still tried to make up for Qiuqiu: "Maybe, it has never ridden in a car like this before."
"Okay, okay, don't be so nervous." Lu Shizhen gently stroked Qiuqiu's body and hinted: "This car is not driving fast, it won't throw you out."
"I can drive slower." Xu Shiyue eased off the accelerator a little out of love for Qiuqiu, and looked calmly at Qiuqiu who raised her head slightly.
"Don't be afraid, kitten."
.
I don’t know if it was to let Lu Shizhen concentrate on taking care of the cat, but Xu Shiyue didn’t take the initiative to chat throughout the rest of the journey.
Soon the two arrived at the hotel where Lu Shizhen was staying. Thinking that they had to quickly reunite with Xiaoning and the others, Lu Shizhen hurriedly said thank you, unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
It was just that Lu Shizhen had just sent a message to Xiaoning saying that she was back, when Xu Shiyue called her from behind: "Lu Shizhen."
Lu Shizhen's foot, which had just been raised, suddenly stopped and he turned back to wait for Xu Shiyue's next words.
Xu Shiyue raised her arm and beckoned to Lu Shizhen: "I have something to give you, come here."
When Lu Shizhen got on the car just now, she didn't see Xu Shiyue taking anything, which made her feel a little strange, but she still walked over: "What..."
The question that had not yet been spoken was blocked in his mouth, and the arm hanging on the car window frame suddenly pulled Lu Shizhen over.
The girl's straight figure bent down in the sunlight, and without warning, that moist and soft touch fell on her lips.
From time to time, in the distance, there could be the sound of cars passing by, the sound of heels tapping on the ground, and the sound of people talking.
The bright sun swayed among the intertwined leaves, reminding Lu Shizhen again and again what kind of occasion this was and what she was doing with Xu Shiyue.
The warm breath gradually gathered under Xu Shiyue's neck, and the unexpected kiss was hotter than any other moment.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but it was only a few seconds.
It was as soft as a dragonfly touching the water, and after a brief closeness, it suddenly separated.
Xu Shiyue's hand on Lu Shizhen's neck slowly stroked the side of her face, and his dark eyes looked deeply into her eyes: "You will come back, right?"
