When he came out of the hotel, Shen Kuo's face was gloomy and a little ugly.

Lu Yan pursed her lips and snickered at first, but in the end the more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't help laughing.

Shen Kuo put his hands in his pockets, looked noble and cold, and glanced at her sideways: "Smile."

The corners of Lu Yan's eyes were slightly curved, like moonlight: "You are so stupid."

It's rare to see Shen Kuo being so stupid, how can you not be happy?

Shen Kuo silently walked Lu Yan to the school gate. Lu Yan asked him with her hands behind her back: "Are you sober?"

"Wake up early."

"If you know you can't drink, don't drink again. It's so stupid."

Shen Kuo groaned and pushed her back: "Let's go."

Lu Yan took two steps, then turned around and waved to him: "Shen Kuo, bye."

I don’t know why, this scene suddenly impressed Shen Kuo’s mind——

On a cold late autumn night, the girl stood under the dim light, waving to him constantly, as if...saying goodbye.

A feeling of uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart, but he couldn't explain why he felt this way. He called her to stop, but he pursed his lips and did not do so after all.

That night, he had a nightmare that Lu Yan was missing.

He searched frantically and searched every corner of the school, but there was no trace of her.

The scenes in the dream are like flying pieces of paper, constantly changing. Sometimes they are in Beicheng No. 3 Middle School, sometimes they are at the university, sometimes they are in the narrow alley outside their home, sometimes they are on the endless railway tracks...

This is where they left their footprints.

Gradually... these scenes were like molten gold at sunset, melting into nothingness in an instant. All memories disappeared, and the girl's shadow also disappeared with the disappearance of these scenes.

It's like it doesn't exist.

Shen Kuo woke up from his nightmare, his body covered in cold sweat. He panted and looked around blankly.

In the dormitory, the snoring of his roommates brought him back to reality...

Just a terrible nightmare.

Shen Kuo has not been so afraid for many years... Ever since the day he no longer had illusions about the world and quickly outgrown his childishness and matured, he has never been so afraid of anything.

…

Lu Yan clearly noticed that Shen Kuo had become clingy.

The two of them are very busy with their studies, and it was common for them not to see each other for three or four days in the past.

But I don't know since when, Shen Kuo has to see her every day. Even on the eve of their game, Shen Kuo is busy until late at night. He will always go downstairs to Lu Yan's dormitory and ask her to come out to meet her, even if it is just to watch from a distance.

He can also feel at ease.

Lu Yan felt that Shen Kuo was filled with fear. He was afraid of losing her.

Jian Yao explained: "What is this called? This is called insecurity."

"Why don't you feel safe?"

"Why else? You are too good!"

Lu Yan blinked her eyes, suddenly smiled, and pushed Jian Yao with a smile: "Oh my god, I just love listening to you speak, it sounds so good."

Jian Yao took the vest off the hanger, folded it and stuffed it into the closet, and then said solemnly: "Seriously, have you never realized that there is a huge gap between you and Shen Kuo?"

"What do you mean?"

"The most obvious thing is family background. Of course I won't mention this. You earn more than him now. This is the most fatal thing."

Lu Yan waved her hand: "He won't mind this."

"Even if you don't mind this, don't you think your popularity is getting higher and higher? It's normal for him to feel insecure."

Lu Yan's career has been going smoothly since she signed with Badu. At that time, video websites were just emerging. She recorded a singing video and posted it, and the video views exceeded 10,000 overnight.

Of course, the Internet was not particularly popular at that time, let alone live streaming. Although the video did not bring direct economic benefits to Lu Yan, its influence could not be ignored. Soon a record company noticed her and hoped to sign a contract with her.

Release a record.

Gold will never be buried, this is the eternal truth.

Shen Kuo's life is not as colorful as hers. He is buried in a pile of complicated and boring data codes every day. It is not easy to create and design new software that no one has done before.

Lu Yan had read interviews about Shen Kuo, and she knew that his success would not come quickly.

He has suffered hardships, stumbled, and failed countless times...

Any big boss who cheats in the later stage will have an unknown and sad journey in the early stage.

Although Lu Yan never felt that the current Shen Kuo was not worthy of her, she actually believed in Jian Yao's evil deeds.

That night, Shen Kuo took her out for a supper.

She remained silent, watching Shen Kuo burying his head in eating wontons. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said, "Shen Kuo, don't be stressed?"

"Um?"

Lu Yan, like her father, is a naive person. She said bluntly: "I know I am very good, but you must not feel pressured. I will not dislike you."

Shen Kuo suddenly choked and coughed violently, his face turning red.

"What are you talking about?"

Lu Yan said solemnly: "You must not feel that you are not worthy of me."

The corners of Shen Kuo's mouth twitched: "I... don't think so."

"Don't think that I will dislike you because I am very popular now."

Shen Kuo reached out and patted her head: "Are you stimulated by something?"

Lu Yan grabbed his hand and said sincerely: "I'm really sorry for making you feel insecure. It's my fault."

Shen Kuo finally laughed, picked up the wontons in his bowl, and handed them to Lu Yan's bowl: "Eat more meat."

"I'm serious."

"Well, I know."

Seeing his understatement, Lu Yan curled her lips, let go of her, and continued to eat with her head down.

Shen Kuo gave her all the wontons in his bowl.

"Don't you want to eat?" Lu Yan asked.

Shen Kuo replied seriously: "I don't feel safe. I'm afraid that you won't want me and will run away with someone else, so I have to be nice to you."

Lu Yan didn't hear the joke in his words at all. She quickly covered her heart and swore: "It won't happen! I'm not that kind of person!"

Shen Kuo finally couldn't help it, and with a smile on his lips, he handed the spoon filled with wontons to her mouth and fed her to swallow - "How silly."

Lu Yan took his spoon and ate the wonton obediently: "If you don't feel insecure, why do you have to meet me every day?"

He scooped up a spoonful of soup, blew it, and drank it alone: ​​"We meet every day, isn't it because I want to see you?"

Lu Yan asked back: "Why do you want to see me?"

"Need a reason?"

"certainly!"

He raised his head and looked at her helplessly: "I love you, can't I?"

Lu Yan's eyes suddenly opened wide, then her face turned red, she lowered her head in embarrassment, ate her wontons honestly, and whispered, "Why did you say such a thing all of a sudden?"

Sometimes, Shen Kuo doesn't understand strange creatures like girls. No, he doesn't understand Lu Yan. This girl has no idea what kind of crappy project she is.

She is indeed Lu Zhen’s sister.

"Next week, your brother and I are going to Haicheng."

"Hey, what are you doing in Haicheng?"

"Join the competition."

"Oh! It's that tp..."

"txpc Programming Contest."

"That's right, design competition!" Lu Yan sighed: "Time flies so fast, it's time to compete."

"yes."

Time really flies by and never comes back. Many times, Shen Kuo actually feels a little guilty because it is difficult for him to spend a lot of time with his girlfriend like other boys, not even Lu Zhen.

At least, Lu Zhen still takes one or two days a week to go out and sing with his girlfriend.

Shen Kuo was really too busy, and it was not easy to have the opportunity to have dinner together every day. Most of the time, he could only look at her from a distance downstairs in the dormitory.

Lu Yan pulled his sleeve: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking... when the program is sold and I have money, I want to take you on a trip."

"Okay!" Lu Yan was very excited when she heard about traveling: "It's a deal! I haven't gone out to play in a long time."

"Um."

He pulled out a tissue and wiped the soup stains from the corner of her mouth: "It's a deal."

When he gets rich, he actually wants to do many things, take her on trips, take this little glutton to eat delicious food from all over the world, buy her many beautiful dresses, dress her up well...

Although he knew that Lu Yan was raised by a wealthy family and had never been short of these. She had many beautiful little skirts that she couldn't wear anymore than she could wear every day. She had everything a girl wanted.

.

Lu Zhen also loves her very much. No matter what good stuff he sees, he will immediately think of it and give it to her...

Shen Kuo knew that he couldn't be like Lu Zhen... and give her things without any scruples.

If he had, he would spend a lot of money on her, no, everything he had could be given to her, if he had everything...

Lu Yan interrupted Shen Kuo's meditation again: "You are always distracted today. What are you thinking about?"

Shen Kuo raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I'm wondering how much money I need to earn to marry you."

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips slightly: "You just want to marry me."

Shen Kuo looked at her shy and shy look and wondered how beautiful this little girl was.

He stretched out his hand and pinched Lu Yan's nose: "Let's go, you idiot."

"Why."

The txpc programming competition lasted for two months.

During this time, Jian Yao participated in a talent show that was extremely popular at the time and successfully entered the finals. During this time, Jian Yao has been competing outside.

Everyone is away from school, and Lu Yan's life gradually returns to peace.

She attends classes on time every day, and after class she goes to the practice room to dance, or sing and play the piano in the voice practice room. Her life is dull but fulfilling.

She doesn't know how long this kind of life will last, maybe tomorrow, maybe...

Maybe in a lifetime.

Lu Yan inherited most of her personality from Lu Zhen, so she rarely worries about unknown things and is unfounded.

Living in the present and living the life in front of you is the most important thing.

Two months later, good news came. Shen Kuo and his team won the championship in the txpc programming competition.

From the excitement on Lu Zhen's phone call, you can feel the weight of this championship.

Lu Yan knew that Shen Kuo would win. She was moving step by step towards the peak that no one had ever reached. How lucky she was to be by his side.

There was a cultural performance organized by the school a week later, and Lu Yan did not expect that Shen Kuo would be able to make it back.

After all... the end of the competition is not the end. He and Lu Zhen officially started their business. During this time, they have been discussing project cooperation with the company. Shen Kuo didn't want to just sell their design, they wanted to use this opportunity

Create your own path, invest in technology, and participate in dividend sharing.

Lu Yan picked up the phone and was surprised to find Shen Kuo in the crowd.

The young man's short black hair was neat and tidy. He stood in the light spot under the skylight, his dark eyes were shining brightly, and his skin was as white as transparent, without any flaws.

Shen Kuo held a bouquet of small white daisies in his hand and looked at her from a distance.

Lu Yan felt like her breathing had stopped. She didn't know how she finished singing the song.

Amid thunderous applause, Shen Kuo walked down the stairs of the auditorium and then walked onto the stage.

The whole school held their breath and watched helplessly as this handsome young man with long legs walked onto the stage, handed the bouquet of white daisies to Lu Yan, then pulled her off the stage and headed straight towards the auditorium.

Walk outside.

The students started to boo like crazy, and the noise was almost breaking the roof!

Lu Yan was pulled out of the auditorium by Shen Kuo. The sun pierced her eyes for a moment, and she reached out to shield her eyes.

"When did you come back?"

"Why didn't you tell me? If you had known, I would have come to pick you up."

"Is Lu Zhen back too?"

"Little Huahua is so beautiful...ah!"

Before she finished speaking, Shen Kuo pressed her against the red wall behind the auditorium, lowered his head, and sealed her lips.

Lu Yan opened her eyes wide and looked at his enlarged handsome features, her head felt dizzy.

It was quiet all around, except for the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Lu Yan's hands and feet were tense, and the small daisy bouquet fell to the ground unknowingly.

After what seemed like a century, Shen Kuo finally let her go.

Her cheeks were flushed, she lowered her head and pursed her moist lips.

They are all a little swollen.

He placed his palm on the back of her head, pulled her closer to him, placed his thin lips on the corners of her lips, and pressed a light kiss.

Lu Yan saw that his lips were stained with her light pink lipstick color.

She lowered her head and smiled: "I really put on lipstick this time."

"I have been thinking about it every day for the past two months." His voice was full of low-pitched and sexy magnetism: "I have never thought about anyone like this. I think about it every day and every night..."

It's too torture.

Every day without her around is torture.

He leaned close to her ear and asked softly: "What about you, do you miss me?"

Lu Yan's earlobes were tickled by his hot and moist breath, and a thrill ran down her spine.

"I don't really want to." She was embarrassed and said duplicitously: "I want Lu Zhen more."

Shen Kuo leaned against her ear, breathed deeply the faint girlish breath on her neck, and said softly: "No."

"Um?"

"You can only think of me from now on."

"You are so domineering."

Shen Kuo gently rubbed her earlobe with his nose: "Lu Yan, I will take you with me from now on and never be separated again, okay?"

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Yeah, okay."

…

At night, Lu Yan was lying on the balcony watching the stars. Jian Yao saw her alone and walked over curiously: "What are you doing?"

"Listen to the tide."

"There are thousands of miles between here and the sea."

Lu Yan shook a small conch in her hand and handed the conch to Jian Yao's ear: "Here, listen to it yourself."

The conch mouth did indeed emit some kind of whirring ethereal echo, which really sounded a bit like the sound of the ocean tide.

"So romantic." She dragged her cheeks with her hands and propped herself up on the balcony: "There's no way Lu Zhen gave it to you."

"Shen Kuo gave it to me." Lu Yan held the small conch in her palms, her eyes full of love: "He picked it up at the beach."

"I knew Lu Zhen wouldn't be so romantic." Jian Yao shrugged, took the small conch, looked at it, and said casually: "I heard a legend."

Lu Yan asked curiously: "What legend?"

Jian Yao looked at the dark blue night sky, her eyes filled with stars, and said slowly: "I heard that the conch can transmit sounds to the future. If you speak to it now, your future self will hear it."

"Real or false?" Lu Yan didn't believe it: "What kind of metaphysics is this?"

"It's all a legend. Anyway, you don't know whether you in the future can hear it or not, right?" Jian Yao yawned and turned back to the room: "Go to rest early."

After she left, Lu Yan rubbed the natural and uncarved conch in her hand.

Can your future self really hear it?

Lu Yan pondered for a moment, then by some strange coincidence... she put it to her lips and said something softly.
Chapter completed!
