Yu Nuo blushed at what he said.
She had no experience with young boys, and the opposite sex she interacted with the most was Yu Ge. Chen Yuzheng finished speaking, his face was serious... but she always felt like she was being teased...
Chen Yuzheng looked at her: "Why, you don't want to shout?"
Yu Nuo: "You are so much younger than me... I can't shout."
He seemed a little doubtful: "Didn't you shout very smoothly yesterday?"
Yu Nuo was fidgeting: "... I'm not drunk..."
Chen Yuzheng did not embarrass her any more, and the car slowed down slowly, returning to normal. It seemed that asking her to call him brother just now was just a harmless joke.
He was driving. Inside the car, soft instrumental music was playing, and occasionally a mechanical female navigation voice sounded. Yu Nuo perked up and talked to him for a while.
As she was talking, she nodded her head several times, unable to resist the sleepiness, and finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.
...
...
I don't know when the car stopped, nor how long it had been.
Yu Nuo was awakened by the cold. She opened her eyes tiredly, feeling as if she had lost track of time. After staying awake for a full minute, she sat up slightly, and her coat slipped off.
I turned around and found that the seat next to me was empty.
Chen Yuzheng has disappeared.
It was still dark outside, about to get light, and the moon turned into a translucent crescent hanging in the sky.
Yu Nuo rummaged around and found her phone. She opened the car door and got out. The air was very cool. She shivered, pulled her clothes together, took a deep breath, and became much more sober.
The wind blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound.
Yu Nuo looked around, and was distracted for a moment in surprise...
Is this... by the sea
Daybreak was approaching.
Yu Nuo shone his phone light and walked slowly forward. He stepped onto the soft sand and called out, "Chen Yuzheng?"
He was wearing a clean short-sleeved shirt and had his back to her. When he heard the voice, he turned his head.
Yu Nuo walked down the steps, went over, and sat down next to him. "Where are we?" "Hawaii."
Yu Nuo: “…”
I sat with him quietly for a while.
There was soft sand under his feet. Yu Nuo raised his foot, leaving a footprint, then kicked it with his toes, raising a cloud of flying sand.
She played for a while, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she took the initiative to ask, "What are we doing here?"
Under her confused gaze, Chen Yuzheng raised his chin and signaled her to look forward with his eyes.
Yu Nuo didn't understand and turned his eyes away.
She paused for a moment, then held her breath.
In the distance, the semicircular setting sun slowly emerged from behind the thin clouds and rose from the edge of the sea. The golden light became thicker and diffused, spreading over the sparkling sea surface. The junction of water and sky was dyed bright.
Suddenly there was the sound of waves and the sea water began to churn.
--In an instant, the whole world was illuminated.
She continued to be absent-minded. Unable to bear it any longer, she looked at Chen Yuzheng again. She opened her mouth, wanted to say something, but stopped.
He squinted his eyes carelessly, with a cigarette between his teeth, and smiled. The white smoke from his mouth blurred his profile.
She pondered, "Are you... taking me to see the sunrise?"
Chen Yuzheng glanced at her lightly.
Looking into his eyes for one second, two seconds... The feeling of her heart racing came back, and Yu Nuo tried to look away in panic.
Chen Yuzheng: "Keep looking, what am I doing?"
Yu Nuo turned his head obediently, his heart hanging there, feeling numb.
Neither of them spoke and continued to watch the sunrise.
It was as if the sounds of the entire world had disappeared, leaving only the faint sound of the waves and a strange tranquility. At the end of the sky, the dazzling golden color gradually spread, and something very strange also overflowed from her heart.
Yu Nuo didn't know what it was, and didn't quite understand this feeling.
But at one moment, an idea suddenly occurred to her. It would be nice if time could stay at this moment forever.
The sunrise at the seaside was so beautiful that she couldn't describe it with the words she knew.
I just think this scene is very beautiful, very beautiful.
It was so beautiful that she felt she would never forget it in her life.
...
...
Yu Nuo held up his phone, turned on the camera, and took a few pictures of the sunrise.
She stood up and said, "The view here is not very good. I'll go take the photo somewhere else."
Chen Yuzheng didn't notice her unnaturalness and just hummed.
Yu Nuo held his cell phone in his hand and ran to the stairs at the back in two or three steps.
The camera grid of the mobile phone was pointed at the horizon and a few photos were taken. Yu Nuo hesitated and moved slightly downwards.
The focus blurred for a moment, then refocused on someone's back.
The sea breeze blew his short hair into a mess. Against the haze-blue background, Chen Yuzheng sat hunched on a bench, his face slightly tilted, fireworks flickering at his fingertips.
Click.
The scene at this second was frozen in her hands.
I don’t know how long I sat there. When the sky got bright, Yu Nuo lowered his head and sneezed.
There were some elderly people doing morning exercises nearby. Chen Yuzheng stood up from the bench and said, "Let's go."
"Hmm." Yu Nuo was so cold that he sneezed again.
He didn't sleep last night and it would take several hours to drive back from here.
Yu Nuo didn't know how to drive, and was afraid that he might get tired while driving: "Why don't you take a nap first?"
Chen Yuzheng was not in high spirits. He thought for a moment and said, "Set an alarm and call me later."
The two of them changed positions. Chen Yuzheng pulled down the sun visor, covered his face with his coat, and lay on the passenger seat.
She turned her phone to silent mode for fear of disturbing him.
Not feeling sleepy at the moment, Yu Nuo opened the photo album and flipped through the photos he had just taken.
The phone on the center console lit up and a caller ID appeared. It was Chen Yuzheng's phone.
Yu Nuo took a look and saw that it was a call from the killer.
She was afraid that Ji had something urgent to do, but she didn't want to wake him up. Yu Nuo picked up Chen Yuzheng's phone and quietly opened the car door.
Standing not far away, Yu Nuo looked at the car and asked, "Hello?"
There was silence for a few seconds, and then someone muttered, "Wrong number? Why is it a girl's voice?"
Yu Nuo: “It’s me.”
Deathly silence, Killer probed: "You... Yu Nuo?"
She hummed.
"Where's Chen Yuzheng? Is he dead? He didn't come back to the base all night, so why is his phone here with you?"
"No." Yu Nuo explained, "He was sleeping next to me."
"What?!!!!" Killer was struck by lightning, "Chen Yuzheng slept next to you? Did you two spend the night together?"
"... ..."
"No." Yu Nuo blushed, thinking about how to tell him, "I drank too much yesterday, and..." Killer was even more shocked: "You drank too much yesterday, and then spent the night with Chen Yuzheng???"
"It's not what you think..."
Yu Nuo was anxious and her words were not organized clearly. She wanted to say more but was interrupted by the killer.
"That's okay, it's okay, you guys continue, I won't disturb you anymore."
"... ..."
She was speechless and opened her mouth, but the killer had already hung up the phone.
...
...
Yu Nuo returned to the car, thought for a long time, and sent a message to killer:
You misunderstood, I didn't make it clear just now. I drank too much yesterday, and Chen Yuzheng took me to his cousin's house (covering face)
After typing and deleting, Yu Nuo pondered in front of the screen for a long while, biting his fingers nervously.
After hesitating for a long time, she still didn't tell Killer that she and Chen Yuzheng came to the beach to watch the sunrise.
Yu Nuo has been well-behaved since childhood and has never done anything out of the ordinary.
Until today, it was as if a romantic little secret suddenly appeared in her ordinary life.
It may not be important to Chen Yuzheng or others, but Yu Nuo thinks it is very precious.
So precious... She doesn't want to share it with anyone.
It was very uncomfortable to sleep in the car, and there was a lot of noise outside. Chen Yuzheng frowned and opened his eyes.
The clothes had slipped down to his neck and he rolled his eyes.
Yu Nuo was lying on the steering wheel, his head resting on his arms, looking in his direction without blinking. It was unclear whether he was in a daze or doing something else.
As his consciousness slowly returned, Chen Yuzheng raised his eyebrows.
Before he could speak, she jumped up as if startled, and stammered, "You, you awake?"
Chen Yuzheng grabbed his phone and checked the time. He spoke with a hoarse voice after waking up, "Why didn't you call me?"
Being caught peeking, Yu Nuo felt extremely guilty: "... You look very tired, I want you to rest for a while."
Chen Yuzheng turned his sore neck and sat up a little.
He seemed to have just woken up and was not very sober yet.
Yu Nuo pursed her lips and breathed a sigh of relief. She was just counting his eyelashes, and she was so absorbed in counting them... .
Chen Yuzheng sent her to the school gate.
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Yu Nuo saw that his face was slightly pale, and was a little worried, "How about I take you out for dinner?"
"No thanks." Chen Yuzheng had no appetite and said listlessly, "I'm going back to the base."
"Then go back and have a good rest. Send me a message when you arrive."
Chen Yuzheng hummed.
After the car drove away, Yu Nuo waited there for a while.
She didn't turn around until the red car's rear completely disappeared from her sight, and then she walked slowly towards the dormitory. After a whole night of hard work, Yu Nuo felt that she might have a last burst of energy, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
After taking a shower, Yu Nuo stood in front of the mirror, wiped off the mist, and looked at himself several times.
While blow-drying his hair, Yu Nuo searched on Weibo and found that all the e-sports marketing accounts were posting about OG's performance at MSI.
After this week, they have advanced to the group stage and the knockout stage. Next week, they will play the semi-finals and the finals on two consecutive days.
After drying her hair and closing the dormitory curtains, Yu Nuo climbed onto the bed with her phone in hand. Unable to resist, she flipped through the photos she had taken at the beach. She looked at them carefully one by one. As she flipped through the photos, she came across the photo of Chen Yuzheng.
She paused.
Her thumb gently stroked the side of his face.
Yu Nuo turned off his cell phone, turned over, closed his eyes, and his mind was filled with what happened last night.
I tossed and turned for a while, but still couldn't fall asleep.
She climbed out of bed, squatted down, opened a cabinet, searched for a while, and found the exquisite little box.
Yu Nuo took out the smile bracelet. The thin rose gold chain reflected tiny bits of light even in the dark.
After looking at it in her palm for a while, she bit her lower lip and put it on her left wrist.
After that day, Xu Yitong asked Chen Yuzheng to give her Yu Nuo’s WeChat account and took the initiative to chat with her several times.
Yu Nuo thanked her for taking her in that night. When he returned the clothes later, he specially brought some cranberry cookies he had made and gave a few cans to Xu Yitong.
Xu Yitong loves sweets and is greedy. After eating, she shamelessly asked Yu Nuo for more. She even asked her out a few times. In this way, the two became familiar with each other.
...
...
The MSI schedule has come to an end. The Korean team was eliminated by the European team in the semi-finals. In the finals, LPL has always had an amazing winning rate against European teams and has almost never lost.
Upon hearing the news that OG had won the championship, Weibo was filled with joy.
Xu Yitong also followed some e-sports accounts because of Chen Yuzheng. But she was not interested and just glanced at them and swiped away.
After watching a beauty video for a while, Xu Yitong sighed in boredom. She had been feeling a bit lonely recently, as her best friends abcd were flying around the country, leaving her with no one to date.
After thinking about it, Xu Yitong posted a new post on WeChat: Sister, I'm so bored, where are you? I'll go find you to play.
After a while, Yu Nuo replied:
With my brother, getting ready to have a meal.
Xu Yitong has been spoiled since she was a child. Her parents and friends have spoiled her unconditionally, so she has no awareness of whether she will bother others. When she saw Yu Nuo's message, she immediately asked in a very familiar way: "Can I come? I haven't eaten yet! I can go with you guys."
Yu Nuo has never been good at refusing other people’s requests. After saying hello to Yu Ge, he sent the address to Xu Yitong.
OG is very popular recently, and they were afraid of being recognized. They found a private room in the corner for dinner. Yu Nuo was with Yu Ge, and he talked a lot, wanting to tell him everything.
Yu Ge had just returned to China two days ago, and he started to suffer from jet lag yesterday, so his mental state was not very good. He responded to her in a disjointed manner.
As the two were talking, a complaining voice came from the door, "Oh, what a crappy place, I've been looking for it for a long time."
The half-closed door was pushed open.
Yu Ge turned his head and looked over.
Xu Yitong walked in carrying the latest Hermès bag and wearing ten-centimeter shiny high heels.
It was quiet for a while.
Yu Nuo stood up and called her, "Tongtong."
Xu Yitong didn't notice Yu Ge sitting in the shadows at all. She glanced at the decoration of the room with a little disdain, "Nono, why do you come to a place like this to eat? The hygiene conditions look so poor."
Yu Ge: “…”
After a few days together, Yu Nuo had gotten used to her coquettishness and consoled her: "This is a home-style restaurant I often come to. It's very hygienic and the food tastes good."
Xu Yitong didn't notice the third person in the room at all. She sat down next to Yu Nuo, put down her bag, and couldn't wait to show Yu Nuo her new manicure, and talked a lot.
Yu Ge had never seen a girl so noisy.
Since he was Yu Nuo's friend, he didn't say anything. He took the headphones, put them on, found an old movie and started watching.
As Xu Yitong was talking, she suddenly noticed a man sitting in the opposite corner. She paused as her words were attracted by his gaze and she blinked twice.
Yu Ge always dresses casually when he goes out, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt without any patterns, with the og-fish logo on the cuffs.
He lowered his eyes, half-closed his eyelashes, and his face was hidden in the shadows, revealing only the outline of his chin. His lips were very thin.
Seeing that she was silent, Yu Nuo asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Yitong came back to his senses: "Hey, is he your brother?"
Yu Nuo noticed something strange and nodded.
Xu Yitong excitedly called out to Yu Ge, "Hey, hello handsome, nice to meet you, my name is Xu Yitong."
She stretched out her hand.
Yu Ge looked up when he heard the voice.
His eyes moved calmly to Xu Yitong's face, his lips moved slightly, and he said two words perfunctorily and casually: "Hello."
He seemed too lazy to talk, and he didn't shake her hand or introduce himself. But Xu Yitong was a voice control.
As soon as the man opposite her started to speak with his bass, she instantly softened.
Before the dishes were served, Xu Yitong lowered her voice and asked Yu Nuo, "What's your brother's name?"
"Yu Ge."
Xu Yitong: "Which one, singing?"
"Gobi's Gobi."
Xu Yitong stared at the ID on Yu Ge’s sleeve for a while.
og... fish... Why does it look familiar
Xu Yitong couldn't hold back any longer, so she found an excuse to go to the bathroom. She sat down with her legs crossed, picked up her phone, and searched Weibo.
After reading it, she opened WeChat and started bombarding Chen Yuzheng frantically.
Chen Yuzheng threw a question mark over.
Xu Yitong: Ask a question
er:
Xu Yitong: Do you know the fish in og? Yu Ge.
Er: What
Xu Yitong: I’ll give you ten minutes. I want all his information.
...
...
Xu Yitong was satisfied and put away her phone. She walked around the shabby restaurant leisurely like a princess and returned to the place where she was eating.
She leaned against the door, picked up her phone, and reopened WeChat. The message Chen Yuzheng had sent her a few minutes ago came into view:
——If you are sick, get treatment
