Zhuo Yuan took her hands in time and held them tightly until her emotions calmed down.
"Thank you." She thought this man understood her very well.
Zhuo Yu'an shook his head, stretched out his hand to rub her hair, and then led her away from the piano.
It was late at night, and the two of them went back to the bedroom. All the intimacy was so natural and natural. Zhuo Yuan wanted to use the remote control to close the curtains of the three-sided floor-to-ceiling windows, but Shu Tinglan stopped him. She liked to look at the night view outside the window.
Even though three walls were covered with floor-to-ceiling windows, because it was on the top floor and made of glass, it was actually very private, so Zhuo Yuan obeyed her.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, the starry sky dimmed at some point, and the faint white fish belly appeared on the horizon.
Shu Tinglan wanted to ask
"do you like me?"
But in the end, I didn’t ask for an exit.
The two slept until almost noon before getting up. Shu Tinglan asked,
"Do you have any plans today?" She wondered whether it was because of the acquisition that he came to Qining specially and kept her here specially.
"Come with me for a walk in Qining. I haven't been back for many years."
"That's it?"
"right!"
It was late winter, but fortunately the temperature in Qining was suitable, it was noon, and the sun was shining brightly. I didn’t know where Zhuo Yuan was going, so Shu Tinglan was responsible for following him. Not far from the hotel, he actually spotted a shared bicycle.
"Come up." He called to her.
Shu Tinglan slowly sat in the back seat, and then Zhuo Yuan kicked off his long legs and began to lead her through the streets and alleys of Qining. He was as familiar with this place as Shu Tinglan. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes
From what he saw, it was hard for Shu Tinglan to imagine that the outstanding entrepreneur in front of him, who was always in the financial news and was rated as a young talent, would be riding a bicycle here like a teenager.
"Lu Kuo often took me along this road before." He said from the front.
Shu Tinglan had the impression that Lu Kuo used to live in this neighborhood, very close to Cheng Chen's home. Often after school, Lu Kuo would take Cheng Chen home on his bicycle. Once he fell, and Cheng Chen's knee was broken into a large piece.
She no longer lets Lu Kuo take her.
After riding for a while, it finally stopped. Shu Tinglan jumped out of the car and took a look. Qining High School had several big characters flashing in front of it.
"Come and see." He explained.
Shu Tinglan was noncommittal. She didn't expect this man to be nostalgic. It's only been three years in high school. What is there to be nostalgic about?
Because it was the weekend and there was no one on campus, he communicated a few words with the guard, who smiled and opened the small door on the side to let them in.
The high school is not big, with two teaching buildings, one laboratory building, playground, and faculty apartments. Zhuo Yuan took her around the campus on a bicycle, and it only took a few minutes.
Standing in front of the teaching building, Shu Tinglan suddenly remembered that the first time she met Zhuo Yuan was in the first year of high school. At that time, Lu Kuo was already chasing Cheng Chen. Before the next monthly exam, he sent Cheng Chen key study notes.
.
"His own grades are not as good as mine, so he has the nerve to highlight the key points for me." Cheng Chen originally sneered, but when he saw the pinyin name on the notebook: zhuoyuan
She was instantly happy, "It turns out to be the notes of a top student. Shu Tinglan, please read it together and return it to me after reading it. I don't want to see Lu Kuo."
So Shu Tinglan ran to Class 2 to return her notes. She still remembered that she stood at the door of Class 2 and shouted
"Zhuo Yuan, who is Zhuo Yuan?"
Everyone in their class looked at her at the door, and then burst into laughter. Zhuo Yuan came out with a cold face, took the notebook from her hand, and emphasized coldly
"My name is Zhuo Yu'an!"
It's a pity that Shu Tinglan didn't remember it, because she only remembered the roar of laughter from the second class classmates, as if they were laughing at her, so that she later walked around the second class classroom.
It turns out that their intersection happened earlier than she thought.
Both of them probably thought of some memories from high school and couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Nothing seems to have changed here," he said.
"Yes."
Even though Shu Tinglan didn't have a good impression of Qining High School or Qining, at this moment, her heart was still soft and moist. After all, this place held her green years and her happiest time.
"Let's go!" she said.
"Okay!" He continued to hold her hand, walked through the campus playground, then got on the car and took her away. It was almost dusk, and the setting sun illuminated their shadows long.
Bicycles, young men and women, long shadows, if it is spring, if they are all wearing white shirts, jeans, and canvas shoes, it is the smell of first love.
Shu Tinglan tried to wrap her arms around his waist, resting her face gently on his back, closing her eyes and enjoying the cool breeze blowing across her cheeks. This was just right, everything was just right.
Zhuo Yu'an slowed down his riding speed. After a while, Shu Tinglan's ears gradually became noisy, and the aroma of food could be heard vaguely in the air.
When she opened her eyes, the car happened to stop at the pink shop they used to frequent.
It was dinner time at this time, and the pink shop was almost full of people, with only one table still empty. For some reason, as soon as Zhuo Yuan walked into the pink shop, Shu Tinglan felt that the shop suddenly lost its luster and looked crowded and cramped.
.
The boss entertained them warmly and invited them to sit at the empty seat, but Zhuo Yuan walked towards the window, where Shu Tinglan had been sitting, and said to the guests at that table
"Can you change it? Thank you!" He pointed to the empty table next to him. Perhaps it was because he was so handsome and had such a strong aura that the two little girls at the table blushed instantly and almost reflexively stood up and sat next to them.
position and looked back at him secretly.
Shu Tinglan sat down, and Zhuo Yuan ordered the food from the boss next to him, which was what he always ordered when he and Lu Kuo came here.
At the end, I didn’t forget to add a sentence
"Add a fried egg to her powder."
He brought her to this noodle shop, which surprised her. He even knew that he wanted to add an omelette, which shocked her.
"Didn't this boss secretly add an omelette to you every time? No one else did."
"How did you know?" Shu Tinglan was even more shocked. She only found out about the boss's warm little gesture when she came back many years later. How did he know?
"Do you think everyone is as heartless as you?"
Why is she so heartless?
After a while, the boss came over with a smile and brought noodles, stood in front of their table, looked at Shu Tinglan and Zhuo Yuan carefully, and then let out another exclamation
"Honey, come here quickly. It's that little girl. It's definitely her this time."
