clear moonlight

Shouldn't it be more appropriate to wear that gray-blue tie, that one better matches the skin tone?

While sitting in the restaurant, Chen Qianxia was still busy thinking about whether her clothes were suitable for today, and whether the dishes she chose would be Lu Ci's favorite taste.

After his unexplained late-night phone call, Lu Ci unexpectedly did not say any words of rejection to him. He just sent a message the next morning, telling Chen Qianxia not to come to pick it up, and just go there by himself.

The attitude is still very tough.

That's why Chen Qianxia now looks like a little boy on a first date, always feeling that he is not good-looking enough, and his preparations are not perfect enough.It wasn't until he saw Lu Ci who was attracted by the waiter that the anticipation and anxiety in his heart were replaced by a sudden heartbeat.

Lu Ci can obviously dress up today, the linen shirt, rose brooch, and bangs are curled just right, and it is more than enough to act as the hero of the award ceremony temporarily.

...It's just that his complexion can't be called gentle at all.

"Is there anything that must be said in person?" He was led across from Chen Qianxia, ​​and asked directly as soon as he sat down, as if he didn't intend to stay for a while.

When Chen Qianxia heard what he said, her heart suddenly turned cold.He looked at the young man with an uneasy expression beside him, and wanted to answer that I had nothing important to do, or that I just wanted to take a look at you.

But intuition told Chen Qianxia that Lu Ci would definitely not be satisfied with such an answer, he would only show a kind and appropriate smile on the surface, while raising the corners of his mouth and complaining in his heart about the wasted dinner time by trivial matters.

However, Chen Qianxia still chose to tell the truth. He summoned the waiter and signaled the waiter to bring up the creme brulee that he had prepared in advance, and placed it in front of Lu Ci like a treasure.

"Would you like to try it first?" he said, "I just found out that night that you like sweets very much. Their desserts are very good. If you like it, you can come here in the future."

He was referring to the time when Lu Ci rarely asked him to stay overnight. Chen Qianxia felt like a voyeur with perverted desires at that time, and almost went straight to the trash can to rummage through other people's takeaway boxes.

It was really hard for Lu Ci to utter words full of rejection when he saw his high-spirited appearance.Although the person sitting across from him was only a little younger than him, he often acted like a child psychologically.She always looked at him with an eager and sincere expression, and she didn't know whether it was by nature or on purpose.

But Lu Ci had to admit that sometimes, he really liked it.

"Sorry, I was the one who spoke too harshly that day." It was not only the taste buds on the tip of the tongue that were satisfied by the desserts, but also Lu Ci's heart that had never moved.He generally doesn't like to eat too much at night, and today he was only planning to go through the motions and say a few innocence, but now he pointed the silver spoon at the delicate and small white porcelain bowl on the table.

Lu Ci even suspected that if he could delay the time a bit, he might even be eaten and wiped clean by that person.

The air was filled with a sweet and greasy smell, and reason and the bottom line gradually compromised with the person opposite.He gently scraped off the last bit of caramel, made another concession after comforting him for the first time, and said in a low voice: "If time permits, if you still want to stay with me in the future, it's not impossible."

When Chen Qianxia heard this sentence, the light in his eyes suddenly lit up.He raised his head abruptly, and he didn't forget to wave to the waiter, asking, "Do you want to eat pudding? They should have other flavors..."

"No, I can't eat so many sweets at night." Lu Ci stopped him dumbfounded. He didn't know what color this kid could pretend to be in his head, but he really thought that he was easily bought by a few desserts.

Chen Qianxia was not angry at being interrupted at the moment, she lowered her half-raised right hand quietly, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said tentatively: "But I saw a lot of boxes last time, and I thought you liked these things very much."

Lu Ci reluctantly recalled the ins and outs of that night, and said casually: "Ah, that's what the two of us ate together. Sometimes when we can't sleep in the middle of the night, we simply make a cup of coffee and sit in the living room with dessert to pass the time. .”

Chen Qianxia first sighed because of his unhealthy remarks that violated the rules of work and rest, and reflexively told him like a nanny: "Don't do this next time, staying up late will do too many harms."

After looking at Shang Lu Ci's playful eyes, he realized that he seemed a little too rigid, and his position when he said this was not clear, so he could only turn to the next question dryly: "You two? It was me a few days ago. Have you seen the boy in black?"

After he finished speaking, he became even more restless. Lu Ci finally relaxed the boundaries of their communication, but in the next second, he acted like a piece of brown candy chatting endlessly, saying that he was dancing on a minefield. .

Fortunately, Lu Ci didn't care about his apparently out-of-bounds advice and questioning, took a sip of coffee, and replied, "You mean Tongtong, he is my good friend, and I have known him for a long time at home."

——What is Tongtong, the name of the lady Chirp.

On the surface, Chen Qianxia put on a calm look of "I got it", but she complained unceremoniously in her heart, and she didn't say anything out of it, all relying on her intuitive sense of crisis - bamboo horse plus nickname, living under the same roof.In terms of odds, the boy in black has a greater chance of winning than him.

"Don't think about it, we're just good friends." Lu Ci frowned, put down his cup, tapped his knuckles on the table a few times, and at the same time tried his best to restrain himself, at least not to smile too obviously - the kid on the other side I thought I was acting calm and magnanimous, but in fact my eyebrows were almost knit together.

Chen Qianxia didn't expect that her thoughts had been seen through at all times, and she retorted with a blushing face: "I didn't think about it... I just feel that you two have a good relationship."

Lu Ci put down his glass and responded: "Although we are young, we have never stopped arguing. I think he is hypocritical and troublesome like a boring gourd. He blames me for putting on a cool face and always having a bad attitude."

Chen Qianxia was led away unconsciously by him. Seeing that Lu Ci had stopped talking, she subconsciously asked, "Then what happened afterwards?"

"Later..." Lu Ci lowered his head with a wry smile, tried his best to restrain the moisture accumulated in his eyes, and said softly, "Later, I made a very serious mistake, which was difficult to make up and could not be covered up, and I knew I was ashamed , so I just let him go.”
