Yu Nuo was frightened by him, and in panic, he subconsciously loosened his fingers.
The donut, which had been bitten a few times, fell on Chen Yuzheng's legs with a plop, and the crumbs flew everywhere, then rolled to the ground.
Someone was approaching, Yu Nuo quickly pulled his hand back and whispered to Chen Yuzheng, "I'm sorry."
He had something in his mouth, didn't say anything, chewed slowly, and glanced at her.
Yu Nuo froze for a moment, took out a piece of paper, leaned over slightly, and tried to pick up the donut on the ground.
The thing fell at Chen Yuzheng's feet. She stopped groping for it because she was afraid of touching him.
Chen Yuzheng spread his legs a little to give her some space.
Yu Nuo took a deep breath and reached out with great effort. Just as his fingers touched the donut, a cough suddenly came from above his head.
Killer coughed heavily again, "Well, you two, please be careful about the impact."
He patted Chen Yuzheng on the shoulder.
Yu Nuo quickly picked up the things.
The car started and started shaking. I felt a little dizzy from reading.
Yu Nuo closed the book, and her lower abdomen began to ache again. She didn't know why she felt a little confused. The person sitting next to her made her even more confused.
Chen Yuzheng asked: "Where did you buy the donuts?"
Yu Nuo: "I just bought it at a random store on the road."
"Oh, it's delicious."
She forced a smile.
Chen Yuzheng: "Take me with you next time."
Yu Nuo said: "I'll give you the address. It's near your base. You should be able to find it." Chen Yuzheng: "..."
After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Are you in a bad mood today?"
"Huh?" She reacted for a few seconds, looked away, and shook her head, "No."
Chen Yuzheng had a calm expression and said "oh".
The atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Yu Nuo took out the earphones from his pocket, put them on, and stared blankly at the seat in front of him. In his peripheral vision, Chen Yuzheng turned his head several times.
She pretended not to see it, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Perhaps sensing her resistance, Chen Yuzheng did not ask any more questions.
There was no conversation along the way until they arrived at the venue for the Intercontinental Games departure ceremony. Yu Nuo got off the car, said hello to Qi Yanan, asked for two temporary work badges, and sent a message to Xu Yitong.
They will meet at the entrance.
The two found a seat and sat down. Xu Yitong raised her hand and handed her new bracelet to Yu Nuo, "I customized it online. Does it look good?" There were two fish on the dark blue background, and a desert Gobi on the back with fish printed in cursive script.
Yu Nuo looked at it carefully for a while and said sincerely: "It looks good. Is this my brother's name?"
"right."
The venue was very noisy, and Xu Yitong's voice was very loud. She was sharp-eyed and grabbed Yu Nuo's wrist. She was puzzled for a moment, "Hey, Nuo Nuo, why aren't you wearing the bracelet that Chen Yuzheng gave you?"
Yu Nuo was stunned for a moment.
Xu Yitong was just asking casually, but when he saw her expression, he felt something was wrong. "What's wrong? You two."
Yu Nuo didn't want to say more and shook his head: "Nothing."
Although she was smiling, her eyes couldn't hide anything.
From the moment they met today, Xu Yitong felt that Yu Nuo was in a low mood, but she didn't think too much about it.
Xu Yitong asked directly: "Did Chen Yuzheng provoke you? Tell me and I will deal with him."
"No, no." Yu Nuo said, "He didn't do anything to me."
Xu Yitong said shockingly, "Isn't he pursuing you now?"
"What?" Yu Nuo knew she had misunderstood and quickly explained, "No."
Xu Yitong sneered, "I know him better than you do. In my entire life, I have never seen him bring any drunk girl to see me, nor have I seen him buy gifts for any of his friends."
She particularly emphasized the word "friend".
Yu Nuo was silent.
Xu Yitong thought about recent events and suddenly remembered something. She was shocked: "Xiao Nuonuo, you didn't take what I said last time seriously, did you?"
"Um?"
"Last time when we were watching a movie, I said Chen Yuzheng was flirting with several girls at the same time. That's it." Xu Yitong said quickly, "Don't take it seriously. I was just kidding."
Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, Xu Yitong swore, "Really, I'm not speaking for my brother. It's mainly because Chen Yuzheng has been lonely and alone since he was a child. He has a sour face to everyone, his grades are not good, his temper is bad, and he likes to argue with others. Apart from his face, there is basically nothing else that shines. But I can guarantee that their Chen family has been loyal from generation to generation, from the old to the young."
Xu Yitong counted on his fingers and told her: "Let's start with my uncle, then my grandpa, my cousin, and my cousin. Anyway, all of them with the surname Chen have this kind of thing. The whole family has a bad temper. They are only good to their wives. Whatever their wives say is what they do. The genes are very strong."
Yu Nuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Xu Yitong's face was full of gloom: "Although I don't know what Chen Yuzheng's relationship situation is like, it's impossible that he has a genetic mutation, right?"
Yu Nuo: "His future girlfriend should also be very happy."
"Then you should consider him." Xu Yitong smiled ambiguously, "Be my brother's sister?"
"Ah?" Yu Nuo hesitated, "This..."
"Do you dislike his bad temper?"
Yu Nuo denied: "No."
The words are on my lips, I want to say them several times, but I don’t know where to start.
In fact, Yu Nuo didn’t think Chen Yuzheng had a bad temper at all. Except that he liked to tease her sometimes, the rest of the time, he even gave her a feeling that he was very gentle.
For example, he adopted a stray cat, waited silently outside the toilet, listened to her cry, asked fans not to take pictures of her, and took her to the beach to watch the sunrise...
It did cause her to have many fantasies that she shouldn't have.
When Yu Nuo was a child, her parents divorced, and her stepmother treated her and Yu Ge badly. In addition, Yu Jiang favored boys over girls, so Yu Nuo developed a humble and pleasing personality since she was a child.
Fu Yidong often said that she lacked love.
She also knows that she is probably like this. As long as someone treats her well, she will keep it in her heart. She will cherish it and think about it for a long time.
But Chen Yuzheng is obviously not the same kind of person as her.
From Xu Yitong's few words, Yu Nuo could also guess that he should have a healthy and happy family. He had been carefree since childhood, with no lack of care and love from others.
But Yu Nuo knew that he was not very likable... so he had to be cautious in everything he did.
Including liking someone.
Seeing that Yu Nuo remained silent, Xu Yitong wanted to persuade him a few more times, but the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed and her attention was drawn away.
As the fans in the venue became restless, the host made a few introductions.
The big screen in the center of the field displayed a line of subtitles, playing the 2021 LPL Intercontinental Championship departure film.
Each of the four teams selected three contestants for the shoot.
First, a man's back appeared, and the camera slowly moved down to his back, revealing the og-fish logo.
Then, his head turned halfway.
Just a side profile immediately caused the audience to scream.
Xu Yitong pounded her legs excitedly and shouted, "Wow, so handsome!!!"
Half a minute later, TG's exclusive black, white and gold colors appeared, and Chen Yuzheng and Killer sat on a chair, with Killer's hand on his shoulder.
Chen Yuzheng's short black hair was soaked by the water, and the camera zoomed in to give a close-up. He slowly raised his drooping head and glanced casually at the camera.
The water drops rolled from the chin to the Adam's apple and disappeared at the edge of the clothes.
Xu Yitong pouted and moved closer to Yu Nuo to discuss: "Why do I feel weird? Do you feel the same way?"
Yu Nuo: “What?”
"No, this is too funny." Xu Yitong was so amused, "Look at Chen Yuzheng's confused look, does it look like he's taking a sexy photo shoot?"
Yu Nuo: “…”
After the departure ceremony, Xu Yitong received a call and said to Yu Nuo: "Give me your work badge. I need to go outside to get something."
Yu Nuo searched in the bag for a while and handed it to her, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, no, you go backstage first, I'll be there soon."
...
...
Xu Yitong ordered a large bunch of desert roses that were airlifted.
With a temporary work ID hanging around her neck, she swaggered to the backstage and leaned against the aisle.
I played with my phone for a while, and when I looked up, someone from tg passed by.
Xu Yitong called out to Chen Yuzheng.
He didn't notice her at first, but when he heard someone calling his name, he stopped and frowned, "Why are you here?"
Xu Yitong held a large bouquet of roses in her left hand and smiled, "Brother has grown up and is now a decent man. Just now in the audience, many girls were crazy about you."
Killer hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who is...?"
Xu Yitong introduced herself: "I'm Chen Yuzheng's cousin, the one who played games with you guys last time!"
Killer uttered "oh" twice, and looked at the flowers in her arms for a while, "Cousin, why are you making it so grand?"
Chen Yuzheng's disgust was evident in his words.
He had long been accustomed to her nonsense and was a little impatient: "What are you doing? Don't give me such a tacky thing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yitong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she passed by Chen Yuzheng holding a large bouquet of roses: "Hey, Yu Ge, Yu Ge!!! Wait a minute! Wait for me!"
Chen Yuzheng: “… .?”
He turned his head.
Xu Yitong ran over happily, through the crowd, and excitedly pulled the corner of Yu Ge's clothes, "Hey, don't go, don't go, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
OG and the others were stunned for a moment, thinking that some female fan had run backstage.
When they saw the bright red roses, they were stunned at first, not knowing what was going on.
Yu Ge stopped, lowered his head and looked at the corner of his clothes that was being pulled.
His eyes moved up again and stopped on Xu Yitong's face.
She chuckled, and regardless of whether he took it or not, she forced the rose into Yu Ge's arms: "For you!"
Xu Yitong had a look on her face that said, "Don't be too touched." "This is a desert rose, airlifted from the Gobi Desert!"
Yu Ge: “… ?”
Xu Yitong didn't feel embarrassed and explained to him happily: "Isn't your name Gobi? The roses of Gobi are the most suitable for you."
Even though they had seen Yu Ge being confessed to by various female fans, they had never met someone as straightforward and fierce as Xu Yitong. Awen and Will couldn't help but burst out laughing.
There are so many people here, Yu Ge's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said to her: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Yu Ge wanted to leave, but Xu Yitong stopped him again.
He was silent for a few seconds, suppressed his temper, and asked calmly: "What are you going to do?"
"I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to add you on WeChat." Xu Yitong said pitifully, "I've added you dozens of times, and you didn't block me, so I can only keep adding you. When will you accept?"
Yu Ge: “… ”
After the departure ceremony, the lpl official specially booked a hotel for the four teams that were about to compete to have dinner.
Sitting on the bus, Yu Nuo listened to what had just happened, imagined the scene, held back his laughter, and asked, "So did my brother add you later?"
Xu Yitong curled her lips and said, "He ignored me and left me alone!"
Yu Nuo comforted him, "My brother looks aloof, but he's actually a bit shy. He must be embarrassed."
Xu Yitong was not discouraged, "Alas, but he took the roses away, so I am relieved."
Yu Nuo smiled.
Xu Yitong thought of another idea, "Nono, how about you help me steal your brother's phone and add me on WeChat?"
"Uh..." Yu Nuo thought about it and asked, "What if he finds out and deletes you?"
Xu Yitong: “… … ..”
She let out a long sigh.
As the two of them were talking, the people who had just been smoking outside started getting on the bus. Xu Yitong stood up and waved, "Chen Yuzheng, come here, sit here."
After stepping down from the stage, Chen Yuzheng took off his long windbreaker, leaving only a short-sleeved shirt. He walked to the back, glanced at Yu Nuo who was sitting by the window, and sat down next to her without saying anything.
Xu Yitong was across an aisle from them.
She crossed her arms and placed them on the back of the chair in front of her, looking past Chen Yuzheng and talking to Yu Nuo across the air: "Hey, Xiao Nuo Nuo, since you can't be my sister-in-law, then I will be your sister-in-law.
Chen Yuzheng: “… ”
The bus started moving. Everyone was a little tired and no one spoke.
Yu Nuo silently tilted her head and looked at the changing scenery outside the window. The dim lights on the street passed by, and she put on her headphones and tuned in a few songs to listen to.
Chen Yuzheng glanced to the side: "What are you listening to?"
"Ah?" Yu Nuo took off one of her earphones. Because the car was quiet, she subconsciously lowered her voice and answered him, "I'm listening to music."
"What song?"
"Hmm..." Yu Nuo forgot the name of the song for a moment, turned on his phone, and handed it to him, "This one, by Liu Jiachang."
"Oh." Chen Yuzheng said, "Let me hear it too."
Yu Nuo: “…”
For some reason, Fu Yidong's words suddenly appeared in her mind: Run, sister, stay away from the scumbag!
Yu Nuo paused, handed Chen Yuzheng an earphone, "Then I'll adjust it, and you listen from the beginning."
He picked up the headphones, looked at them, but didn't put them on.
"What's wrong?"
"Change."
"Um?"
Chen Yuzheng handed her the left earphone, raised his chin and motioned for her to bring the other one.
She was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant, but she still switched with him.
Yu Nuo was originally sitting on the left side of Chen Yuzheng, but now she was listening to the left earphone and he was listening to the right one. The headphone cord was limited in length, so the two had to get closer, with their shoulders almost touching.
Yu Nuo became alert.
She's really not good at dealing with this kind of thing.
She knew that her feelings towards Chen Yuzheng were a little strange and she should keep some distance from him, but she didn't know... what distance was appropriate.
The song was playing, but Yu Nuo didn't really listen. His mind wandered, and he paused for a moment.
... She has a habit of wearing the left earphone every time she listens to music, because her right ear is not very good, and sometimes when she has a cold or fever, she will easily have tinnitus. Yu Nuo thought about it, and she didn't seem to mention this to Chen Yuzheng...
After playing Liu Jiachang's song, it automatically jumps to the next one.
A melodious prelude sounded, and a male voice hummed softly. Yu Nuo was still in a daze, and a hoarse voice came into his ears: "I wish I could accidentally fall into your tenderness."
Someone touched his arm, and Yu Nuo turned around and met Chen Yuzheng's gaze.
Yu Nuo was confused, "What's wrong?"
The lights were off in the car, and the flickering light of the night cast a shadow on his face. Chen Yuzheng had a subtle malice in his eyes, and asked slowly, "What song is this?"
Yu Nuo: “…”
At this time, Ultraman and Killer started fighting in the back row again. Yu Nuo collected his thoughts and answered him in a low voice, "It's... Yan Renzhong's song."
He asked again: "What's the song title?"
Yu Nuo handed the phone to him and showed him the name directly.
Chen Yuzheng's legs were apart, one of them was stretched out, and he sat in a lazy posture. He recited slowly, "I wish you will love me forever."
Yu Nuo nodded, "Yeah."
Chen Yuzheng couldn't help but curl his lips as if he had heard something funny, "Is this true?"
