Trajectory 2: entangled curves

Zhuge Qinuo arrived at the room, put down his bag, danced a few times with satisfaction, and then carefully admired the clothes that Mi Bei bought.

Looking at herself in the mirror, young and energetic, even she couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was already a mother of two children and had already crawled out of the grave of love once.

Facing Mi Bei, she was sure that it was a crazy heart-beat, not the kind of simple liking for a star idol, but the kind between men and women.

Because, she had never wanted to be younger, younger, younger, to the age where she could stand beside him without worries, to be by his side, to look at him with the purest eyes, to be close to him with a heart without any confusion.

It's not that she had no control, it's just that the feeling was too intense, without any warning, and caught her off guard.

However, everything she thought of would never come true! Time cannot go back. Even if one person's time went back, they would not necessarily meet again. Even if they met, the result would be unknown. It must be at this time and in this place for them to meet like this!

All thoughts and excitement are nothing but illusions, a bubble.

She looked up to the sky and breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled at herself in the mirror. Even though this was definitely impossible, it was a woman's right to fantasize, and it wasn't against the law to think about it.

She couldn't control it, but she could comfort herself quickly.

So she jumped to the side happily and started washing up seriously.

Take off your makeup and face your true self.

After seeing it for so many years, good or bad, she has become accustomed to it.

If I really have any regrets, it’s that I was too stupid when I was young and didn’t take good care of myself.

Thinking of this, she immediately took out her facial mask and started applying it: "Then treat yourself well in the days to come!"

After applying the facial mask, she leaned back on the bed with peace of mind.

She picked up her phone and saw Mi Bei's text message. It had been a while since she sent the message, so she quickly replied, "No, it's too much trouble for you."

"No, I'll deliver it!"

When Mi Bei received Zhuge Qinuo's reply, he had already asked the driver to turn the car around.

"It's really too much trouble. I will get up early tomorrow and come to your place to get the key, and then I will go there and open it myself." Zhuge Qinuo replied quickly.

She was used to doing everything by herself, taking responsibility for herself, and not wanting to cause trouble to others.

"Oh!"

This is Mibe’s reply.

Zhuge Qinuo breathed a sigh of relief again, because just now, when Mi Bei said she would send the keys, she had the urge to tear off the mask and put on makeup immediately.

After receiving this reply, she felt at ease and continued to lie in bed.

I was bored and was fidgeting with my phone, until the phone rang.

It was Mi Bei. She sat up with a start, and heard a voice on the other end of the phone: "Hello, I'm downstairs! Which floor?"

"17th floor, 1708." Zhuge Qinuo's mind was still buzzing in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't I go down?"

"I actually gave you my room number?"

"What am I doing? Will he think this is a hint? Will he think I'm being casual?"

"No, he was the one who asked for the room number. Could it be that he wanted to?"

Zhuge Qinuo's mind quickly became clear and started working rapidly.

When she came to her senses, she realized that the mask was still on and it was definitely too late to put on makeup.

She could only, only, only... She quickly washed her face, found a mask and put it on, then grabbed the room card and ran out.

Maybe it was because of her previous wild thoughts. She was very messy, and she hadn't been this messy for a long time. She just wanted to stop Mi Bei at the stairs, and simply didn't want him to mistakenly think that she was a casual person.

Just a few steps out of the door, the handsome figure appeared in front of the corridor and stopped.

"Sure enough, all handsome guys in the world are the same. To look cool, they often stop and let a woman trot over like a chicken." She complained in her mind. Then she realized that the one trotting over like a chicken was not her, but a barefoot chicken.

She subconsciously slowed down her pace, so that she could be as dignified as possible in this embarrassing situation. After thinking and doing all this, she was almost in front of him.

"Thank you for bringing it to me." Her shoeless feet touched each other awkwardly. She had a mask on her face and her hair was dripping with water from the violent face-washing action just now. But she looked at Mi Bei with smiling eyes. This was the only way she could make herself look relaxed.

"Puff!" Mi Bei was also wearing a mask, but even with the mask, he could hear the laughter.

"Sorry, I just closed my eyes for a while and didn't expect you to come. It's too messy." After pretending for a while, she chose to be a little honest.

"It's okay! I've never seen you like this. It's cute!" Mi Bei is understanding.

"Cute? A little brat said that sister is cute? Ha, and you haven't seen so many different looks of me." After being shown this embarrassed look by him, Zhuge Qinuo had already given up and started to retort secretly.

So the conversation ended.

Zhuge Qinuo waited for him to return the key, but Mi Bei just looked at her without saying a word, let alone returning the key.

"Uh..." she was about to speak.

"Oh, by the way, I just returned to the dormitory, and when I went out, I forgot my key at home." Mi Bei said as she looked at Zhuge's eyes which widened instantly. One can imagine her shocked expression.

"When I got home, I just put it on the table, and when I left, I just focused on leaving," he explained.

"Then..." She smiled awkwardly.

"Then I'll go back and get it, then come back, and then I'll go back again." Mi Bei immediately responded.

"Uh, that's too complicated. Let's sort it out." Zhuge Qinuo stopped him immediately. "Actually, it's not necessary. You can return the key to me. I still need to take a taxi to your place tomorrow. So, it doesn't matter if I don't have it now."

Mi Bei: "I'm afraid I'll have to go back to the crew too early tomorrow. So...it's my fault. I was careless. I'll go back and get it and bring it to you."

Zhuge Qinuo: "You just came, and then you went back, and then you came back again, and then you went back again? Forget it, don't spoil me. Come in and wait for me."

"You come in", "spoiled", two inexplicable words, Mibei was somewhat happy to hear these two three-word phrases.

He swore that he didn't have any improper thoughts at that moment, he was just inexplicably happy.

"No need to trouble you. I'll pack my things and live next to your dormitory. It doesn't matter where I go home from, so it saves me a lot of trouble." Zhuge Qinuo started to pack busily as soon as he entered the house.

Mi Bei touched the key in her trouser pocket and instantly felt a little regretful. She was annoyed that her willfulness and little lies had caused her so much trouble.

They wanted to stop it, but they also greedily thought that this was a good idea as they could stay a little longer.

She packed her things, checked out, and went to a hotel near her dormitory with Mi Bei.

After checking in, Mi Bei helped her with her luggage.

"I'll go back and get the key, wait for me. It's very close, I'll be back soon." Mi Bei said.

"Is it close? Then let's go together. It will save you the trouble of running back."

Mi Bei originally wanted to go and come back to have a midnight snack together, but he didn't expect that Zhuge Qinuo had already cut off his escape route.

"Okay!" He said it, but a new idea already came to his mind.

"By the way, is there anything delicious around here?" Zhuge Qinuo said, "I haven't eaten yet, shall we eat together later?"

This played into Mibei's hands, and he remained calm and said, "Get the key first!"

So they went back to the dormitory together, and Mi Bei went upstairs pretending to get the car keys.

"It's all my negligence. I'm sorry to bother you so much. How about this, I'll treat you to a midnight snack?" Mi Bei suggested happily.

Maybe it has nothing to do with love between men and women, it’s just that the time spent with Zhuge Qinuo is like a vacation.

There are no conflicts of interest, no need to think about gains and losses, and no need to be overly restrained or hypocritical.

Moreover, the difference between being with her and being with Deng Qing is that no matter how close he is to Deng Qing, he is like an idol. He yearns to be like her, and with yearning comes invisible pressure.

As for her, she would say he was an idol, and there would be stars in her eyes when she looked at him. She would praise him, but she would not indulge him. There was a closeness that allowed them to confide in each other, but there was also a distance between men and women. This balance of tension and relaxation made him greedily miss the time he could spend with her.

While eating, neither of them said goodbye, but they both knew something. As Mi Bei thought, this was his and hers, one of the few times she was lazy and indulged.

They happily spent the midnight snack time, with their separation hidden in their smiles.
