Qiuqiu once explained to Lu Shizhen that data is just a pure stream and cannot feel or convey any emotions.
But when this text message came, Lu Shizhen seemed to see the tenderness of Xu Shiyue thousands of miles away.
Unlike online chat tools, text messages cannot be withdrawn.
It was spread out in black and white on Lu Shizhen's mobile phone, expressing a person's thoughts directly.
She was thinking about herself.
Nothing, just thinking about myself.
Such simplicity and straightforwardness were like an arrow wrapped in red silk, softly and straightly embedded in Lu Shizhen's heart.
Hit the target with one strike.
After all these years, Lu Shizhen finally understood what it meant to be in a rush.
When she watched those shows in the past, she couldn't help but complain when she saw the heroine in a mess. Even though her gay friends complained about her many times, she couldn't empathize with them.
Now she understood that when you like someone, you really want to show your best side to her.
It's not about being good, it's about wanting to be better.
After agreeing to Xu Shiyue's friend request, Lu Shizhen quickly tidied up the living room.
Before Xu Shiyue's video call came, she stepped over Qiuqiu, who was still eating starch sausage, and moved to the sofa.
The simple avatar jumped up on the phone screen. Lu Shizhen smoothed his messy hair again before answering the call.
I don’t know if Xu Shiyue had tidied up her room just like me, her background was also very clean.
Lu Shizhen recognized the layout of Xu Shiyue's room at a glance, and Xu Shiyue looked like she had just washed up. Her long black hair was casually tied behind her head, her little face was clean, and her eyebrows were a little light.
Such an image would not make Lu Shizhen feel that she was not serious about their video.
On the contrary, Lu Shizhen had a natural feeling of being at home, relaxed and free.
No matter how cold, aloof and arrogant this person appears to be outside, she is always gentle in front of him.
Lu Shizhen just looked at the very familiar face on the other side of the screen, and was unusually a little reserved: "Good evening."
"Good evening." Xu Shiyue also replied, "Did I disturb your rest?"
"No." Lu Shizhen shook his head. "I slept from morning till afternoon, and now I'm not sleepy at all."
Xu Shiyue looked at the person in the video who looked much better than this morning, and curled her eyes slightly: "I can tell."
Feeling the gaze of the person opposite him, Lu Shizhen felt a little embarrassed.
She wasn't very sociable, but she didn't want the situation to get cold, so she thought for a moment and asked again: "How are things going over there? Is everything going well?"
Xu Shiyue nodded: "It's going well, don't worry."
Lu Shizhen also nodded: "That's good."
After the two sentences were exchanged, the screen seemed to be stuck. The two suddenly didn't know what to say and looked at each other.
In fact, it’s not that there is nothing to talk about. Lu Shizhen felt that he had a lot to say to Xu Shiyue, but if he asked her about the details of her work, he felt that it was a rare opportunity for her to rest, and would it make her tired. If he asked her what she had for dinner tonight, he was afraid that she would think he was nagging.
But Xu Shiyue is not like that.
She just simply wanted to look at her.
Look at this person.
Seeing that she finally got what she had lost back, she no longer rejected her baby.
Xu Shiyue had a plan, and if Lu Shien hadn't ruined her plan today, she thought she would have stayed at Lu Shizhen's house for a very long time.
I can't help but get close to her, hug her, and kiss her.
She wanted to use this time to slowly fill in the blank space left by the past, so that Lu Shizhen would never be able to leave her again.
She didn't like separation, and finally understood a little bit the mentality of those tyrants in ancient times.
As Xu Shiyue was thinking this, the person in her sight suddenly turned into a cat with its back to the camera, eating a starch sausage.
Lu Shizhen's voice jumped from behind, which was not visible in the video: "Show you cat eating live!"
Imperceptibly, the cat on the other side of the video tensed up when he heard Lu Shizhen's words.
Qiuqiu really wanted to protest against Lu Shizhen's behavior of betraying the system's good partner in order to please the person he liked, but he could only maintain his rhythm of taking small sips and tried extra hard to act like a real cat in front of the camera.
Qiuqiu's performance pleased Xu Shiyue very much. She curved her eyes and said in a cold voice with a smile: "Cute."
"Isn't it!" Lu Shizhen agreed and turned the video camera around.
She seemed to have finally found a topic that was neither boring nor long-winded, and she shared with Xu Shiyue with great interest: "Qiuqiu is an extremely strange cat. It loves to eat starch sausage. Starch sausage is simply the most important thing in its cat life..."
Xu Shiyue just listened to the continuous jumping of the person on the other side of the screen, and the seriousness in his eyes was covered with a deep smile.
She thought, there are things in the world cuter than cats.
"Teacher Sixteen, are you interested in coming to City S to attend the new product launch on Saturday?"
She subconsciously looked up at the date on her phone.
Today is Thursday, which is the day after tomorrow.
The dark eyes moved around the screen, and then Lu Shizhen deliberately hesitated and said: "Well... I can consider it."
Xu Shiyue was particularly cooperative and asked, "What will it take for Teacher Sixteen to agree without any hesitation?"
Lu Shizhen tapped his chin and said thoughtfully: "If Miss Xu comes to pick me up at the airport in person, I would feel very honored and would gladly go."
When Xu Shiyue heard what Lu Shizhen said, she smiled slightly.
Miss Xu, who usually doesn't smile, laughed many times in the video that night. Her calm voice rose and fell gently, and she asked back: "Teacher Shiliu, why do you think I will never pick you up?"
Lu Shizhen was a little surprised, but more happy.
In fact, when she said this just now, she was a little nervous. She was afraid to see Xu Shiyue looking reluctant and afraid to be rejected.
But not.
Xu Shiyue will not let her tremble in fear, her expectations will always be responded to.
This was a feeling Lu Shizhen had never experienced before, being cherished and treated well.
Anticipation filled her heart, as if a spring breeze was blowing, and lush green grass was growing on the land.
Barrenness is no longer barren, the fertile soil is full of hope of life.
.
In order to protest against Lu Shizhen for synchronizing the video of herself eating starch sausage to Xu Shiyue, Qiuqiu dived into the main system to steal the algorithm.
The fake Qiuqiu cat, which was just an empty shell, was left alone at home. When Lu Shizhen went to City S, Xiaoning fed it on time.
Is this considered a revisit to an old place, or a visit to a foreign land
Layers of white clouds passed over the spacious wings and gradually rose into the air. Lu Shizhen got off the plane carrying her luggage and looked at the city she was visiting for the second time. The mixture of familiarity and strangeness made her a little uncertain for a moment.
But it doesn't matter.
The only thing she could be sure of, and the most important thing, was that there was someone in this city whom she wanted to see at all costs.
—Xu Shiyue.
This time was the peak period for airport pick-up, and the road outside the parking lot was blocked into a long, winding dragon, lingering outside the airport.
The setting sun filled the sky with brilliant red, flowing brilliantly, and the slow flow of traffic was like its shadow reflected on the land.
It’s just that the scenery is reserved for those who are in the mood to appreciate it, and for those who are not in the mood to appreciate it, it is just an ordinary sunset.
This was the third time Xu Shiyue looked out the car window. The rose swaying in the evening breeze was still dancing and blooming by the window.
The expression on her face was not pretty at all. The vibration of her phone came from her palm: [16: I’m out. ]
It’s news from Lu Shizhen.
Xu Shiyue's frown eased slightly, and his fingers tapped on the screen swiftly: [There's a traffic jam in the parking lot, wait for me a moment.]
After a pause, she raised her hand and took a picture of the beautiful rose swaying outside the window to Lu Shizhen: [Picture]
Lu Shizhen looked at the roses that came with the news. Behind the swaying roses in the live picture were the still traffic.
She had experienced traffic jams at the airport before, and the long time was particularly time-consuming for her now, so she simply took the initiative to say: "I'd better go to the parking lot to find you, it will be quick."
As the traffic continued to move forward, fifteen minutes later Xu Shiyue's car finally arrived not far from the entrance of the underground parking garage.
Although it is still blocked, at least there is hope.
It was at this time that Xu Shiyue received a positioning picture.
The next second, the driver heard the sound of a door opening from the rear of the car.
Xu Shiyue got out of the car without any warning.
The uneasy wind messed up her long, smooth hair, fluttering all over her head, and it was about to dazzle her in the evening.
But Xu Shiyue didn't care at all. She just said to the driver, "Park the car and text me the location," and turned to walk towards the parking lot.
Over the years, the driver has taken Xu Shiyue to various occasions. No matter what the situation, this man is always calm and composed, so calm that it's frightening.
This time, it was the first time he saw Xu Shiyue so anxious, as if there was something waiting for her in the parking lot that she didn't want to delay.
The crisp sound of high heels hitting the concrete road was drowned out by the sound of passing cars.
Xu Shiyue walked towards the slightly remote F area according to the location picture sent by Lu Shizhen. The increasingly dim light barely showed her the way.
Suddenly, Xu Shiyue felt someone grabbing his wrist, and then he was pulled over by the force.
She didn't have time to react and fell into an embrace unexpectedly. The ordinary soapberry overwhelmed the dampness around her.
"Got you."
Lu Shizhen's voice was close to her ears, and it sounded warm in the dark and quiet parking lot.
