Contention

Lu Min calmed down the other confused friends in the private room and told them to continue eating, drinking and having fun, and then Shi Shiran went downstairs.

The red and yellow pavement bricks on the street are covered with irregular layers of frost, and they creak like broken sand when stepped on.

After walking a few steps, he saw Lu Yuexi standing not far away, leaning against a fence and smoking a cigarette, his eyes dim.

Lu Min walked over and asked, "How's it going?"

Lu Yue hesitated not to answer, but only stretched out a finger.

"She said to forgive you this last time?"

"No, she just said one word to me, get out."

"...Crying?"

"It doesn't count." Lu Yuexi lowered her hand, her fingertips were filled with smoke, she looked up at the sky, and squinted at the dead sun, "It's just that her eyes are red."

Lu Min sighed: "If a child with this personality is still so excited, he really likes you."

Lu Yue didn't say a word, but frowned sadly, as if he was still remembering the scene just now.After a moment of silence, she asked, "Where did you get the Feiniao phone?"

"Whatever your father wants." When mentioning what he had just done, Lu Min calmly explained, "I called her and told her that you were very drunk, threw up all over the floor, and kept calling her name, and you still don't know what to do." Ken goes home and asks her to come and see you quickly."

"...Good guy, you've planned this for a long time." Lu Yuexi flicked the soot off his body, with a helpless tone, "It's thanks to her willingness to come, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

"Soon, just two days." Lu Min smiled, "After all, she is my future nephew and daughter-in-law, so they must have some snacks, right?"

Zou Feiniao didn't eat much for dinner, so she continued to write her report after finishing.For some reason, it may be because of the wind during the day, and I have a splitting headache.

Fang Junya took out two pieces of ibuprofen for her to eat, then applied active oil on her, massaged her temples and said: "Don't mess with your computer, go to sleep quickly."

Zou Feiniao said "Hmm". Although it was only after seven o'clock, she was not feeling well, so she took a shower and went to bed.

However, just as she was about to fall asleep, a call came suddenly, but she didn't answer, and soon a message came.

Lu Yuexi said:? I'm downstairs at your house. ?

Zou Feiniao stared at the news for a long time, then turned off his phone.

Halfway through my sleep, I suddenly heard movement downstairs.Someone shouted "Not a bird" and "Not a bird", the voice was so familiar that she opened her eyes when she heard the first sound.

Opening the window and looking down, it was indeed Lu Yuexi calling her downstairs.

She was not afraid of being embarrassed, she yelled loudly and was very patient.Fortunately, it's only 08:30, otherwise there must be roars from the apartment lady.

Zou Feiniao didn't want his mother to hear, so he stuck his head out.Lu Yuexi finally calmed down when he saw her.

She was wearing a brown scarf, the streetlights were soft, the moonlight was melting, and the wool coat was shining brightly, making her look warm.Looking up at her on a cold winter night, she rubbed her hands together.

Zou Feiniao didn't even change into his pajamas, so he put on his down jacket and went downstairs.

The iron door of the apartment was opened for her with a clang. She wore a pair of cotton slippers and no socks. Against the howling wind, she walked out of the door and looked directly at her.

Lu Yuexi said: "It was my uncle's fault during the day. That woman has nothing to do with me. She doesn't like women either. She just listened to my uncle and purposely sat on me to see your reaction."

Zou Feiniao didn't have much reaction after listening, as if he had already guessed it, he just nodded.

The hatchback looks at each other, with different thoughts.Zou Feiniao came down in a hurry, his hair was untied and scattered behind his head.His lips were pale, his expression was slightly sickly, and he was hardly visible.

"...It's cold outside, go upstairs and tell me." Lu Yuexi shrank his neck, looked the girl up and down, forced a smile, "It's freezing cold, why are you only wearing pajamas inside?"

"Don't go upstairs." Zou Feiniao suggested quietly, "Go to your car."

"what?"

The girl didn't say much anymore, and walked towards a black Cayenne parked not far away.

After getting in the car, the two sat quietly for a while, Lu Yuexi raised his hand and turned on the dome light inside the car.

Under the pale light, it was very bright.Zou Feiniao lowered his eyes, his gaze slightly skipped over the felt whale rocker placed on the center console, because after playing it for a long time, it was a little loose and shedding its hair.

"Turn off the lights," she said, "I want to have a good talk with you."

Lu Yuexi thought that the other party would not talk to her for a while, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief: "Okay."

She turned off the light, but Zou Feiniao didn't speak in a hurry, he just looked in front of the car, unable to see his expression clearly.

"You..." It was Lu Yuexi who hesitated to speak first.She wants to ask a lot, such as are you jealous?What are you thinking when you get home?Have you considered your future relationship with yourself?

But when the word "you" is spoken, I don't know what to ask.

She stopped, opened the storage box suddenly, took out a box of truffle chocolates, lifted the transparent cover, and asked, "Do you want to eat one?"

This move was inexplicable, but she asked naturally, just like using candy to coax a child, with a hint of flattery.

Zou Feiniao glanced at the chocolate, but he didn't refuse, he just took a piece and put it in his mouth.Burnt sweet, rich and mellow, like pine cones on fallen leaves in autumn, natural and original.

She slowly finished the chocolate, swallowed it, then turned her head to look at Lu Yuexi, and in the expectant eyes of the other party, she finally spoke: "I actually thought about a lot of things today, and it's about us."

"Ah."

"I think I still like you. It's hard to change, and it's hard to forget." In the dark night, with the light from the car window, I can barely trace the outline of the girl, and it's hard to distinguish the expression.

But her tone was slow and calm, like stating a theoretical question.Hearing what she said, Lu Yuexi's impetuous heart gradually calmed down.

"But I don't want us to be together now." Zou Feiniao said, "To be honest, I hate myself like this, too entangled and childish."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I'm too easily influenced by you, it's not good." Her voice sank a bit, "I once told myself that life is above love, I have my life, I have things I want to accomplish, no It should be too restrained by feelings, but now, I find that I can't do it..."

When Zou Feiniao said this, he rubbed his temples, and there was more sincere distress and loneliness in his words: "...every time you come to see me, I can't help but add more of you to my future plans. The figure is a little bit. The fantasy is too illusory, so I hate such an uncontrollable self."

Lu Yuexi looked at her quietly, and after hearing the word "empty", she understood a little, and sighed: "You still care about what I did before, so you don't plan to forgive me, do you?"

"Well. But, forgiveness is one thing, liking is another. I won't forgive you, but I can't stop liking you. It's like I've been avoiding you before, although I feel at ease, but seeing you I still can't help caring when I'm with other people."

"...Then what are you going to do now?" Lu Yuexi's tone was very gentle, with unprecedented patience, "What do you want me to do?"

Zou Feiniao was silent for a long time before replying softly: "I think we need distance and time."

"why?"

"Because I want to prove something." She turned to look at her, and smiled softly in the blurry night, "And these two things are what I need most now."

Lu Yue regretted not speaking.She no longer looked at her, but looked towards the front of the car. Ahead was a dark and silent road with few street lights. Looking at it like this, it seemed as if the end could not be seen at a glance.

After a while, she asked, "You mean, let me wait for you? But I can't bother you anymore."

"Well, of course, you don't have to guard me alone. If you meet someone in the process, you can pursue it. I have no right to restrain you, and I don't want to restrain you in this way."

Lu Yuexi ignored these words, and only asked again: "Then how long will we have to wait?"

This scene is very similar to the scene where Zou Feiniao confessed to her.At that time, she also looked at herself patiently and expectantly, not daring to force her, but asked cautiously, when she grows up, how old will she be?

Zou Feiniao paused, and said bluntly: "Sorry, I may not be able to give a specific time, but I must first complete the things I want to do."

Lu Yuexi was silent, and said: "You don't have to work so hard, what do you want? Fame, profit, or other things, I can help you. Feiniao, you are still so young, it is very hard to do these things alone , Why don’t you use the resources you have?”

"In that case, I would rather miss you alone than stand by your side like this." Zou Feiniao smiled again when he said this, "And you can't help me, in this world, many things It’s not something that can be solved with money and connections.”

Lu Yuexi stared at her intently, looking at her beautiful eyebrows and eyes covered by the shadow of the night.For a moment, she recalled many things.

"...I see, you can do whatever you want, I won't disturb you." After pondering for a long time, Lu Yuexi took a deep breath and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hug her, but he changed the direction and only rubbed her Down her hair, "but if you get tired, I'm always there, okay?"
