Contention

Before the school gate, Lu Yuexi put on her makeup again in the rearview mirror of the car.

It's been more than a month, although the two often haven't seen each other for several months when the other party is an undergraduate, but this time the feeling is very different.

The closer you are to your destination, the closer you will feel to your nostalgia.

Lu Yuexi got out of the car early, and Assistant Wen looked for a parking space.

She was also holding a bouquet of beautiful flower arrangements in her hands.Surrounded by eustoma, a few perfume lilies have slightly curled long petals, and there are rich torch flowers and grape hyacinths on the side, which are a warm and lively match.

In Auckland in November, the temperature is just right, neither hot nor cold, which is most suitable for thin cotton and linen suits.

Zou Feiniao was still the same as he remembered, carrying a bag on one shoulder, and habitually tied his hair high.The pair of lead gray water milled jeans that Lu Yuexi bought for her before school started.

Originally, she was still rubbing the legs of the glasses in her hand, thoughtfully, when she noticed Lu Yuexi's figure, she put on the glasses and smiled at her.

"Give it to me?" Taking the flower that Lu Yuexi handed over, Zou Feiniao held it in his arms, a little surprised, "There is no vase in the dormitory, and I don't know where to put it."

Lu Yuexi patted her head: "It won't last long, so just try to keep it fresh."

"Yeah." Zou Feiniao's illness was obviously not cured, and her voice was still a little nasal, but her complexion was good, and upon closer inspection, she was actually wearing light makeup.

Lu Yuexi thought it was funny and wanted to pinch her face, but many passers-by were watching, so she had no choice but to give up her thoughts, and dragged Zou Feiniao to the car where Assistant Wen was parked not far away.

Zou Feiniao was still looking at the bouquet in her hand, but when she saw Assistant Wen, she couldn't help being a little stunned, and turned to look at Lu Yuexi: "Why is Sister Wen here?"

"Hey, it's inconvenient for me to come alone, so let her make the itinerary for me."

Zou Feiniao pursed his lower lip and smiled at the assistant Wen in the driver's seat: "Sister Wen, long time no see."

"Long time no see, let's get in the car."

The two sat in the rear driver's seat, and Zou Feiniao didn't ask where they were going, but just lowered his head and concentrated on looking at the bouquet in his hand.When there are other people around, she is relatively quiet, at least she doesn't joke around with Lu Yuexi much.

But Lu Yuexi was dishonest, now that there were no passers-by watching, she couldn't help leaning her head on Zou Feiniao's shoulder, played with her earlobe, then moved her fingers all the way down, and frivolously and affectionately stroked her neck.

She also took time to look in the rearview mirror.The assistant Wen in the driver's seat was driving the car intently, without squinting, with a serious expression on his face.

However, after teasing for a while, Lu Yuexi suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but ask, "Where's your chain?"

Zou Feiniao was still young, so the proposal ring was really flamboyant, and wearing it brightly would attract attention, but Lu Yuexi felt uncomfortable putting it on, so he simply bought a silver chain to string the ring together for the other party to wear.

The ring was still on Zou Feiniao's neck before parting, so it would not be lost.

She was a little hesitant, and repeatedly touched the white and tender neck, making it a little red.

Zou Feiniao remained calm, and took her hand off: "It's inconvenient to wear it when doing experiments, so I put it away."

"Where did you collect it?"

"In the box."

"I'll wear it when I'm not doing experiments." Lu Yuexi rubbed against her and showed her his right hand, his tone relaxed, with a natural air of coquettishness, "I wear it all the time, and I still wear it on my hand."

Zou Feiniao didn't really argue with her about this issue, he just said "hmm".

The car suddenly became quiet.Lu Yuexi got up early in the morning and was a little tired now, so he leaned on Zou Feiniao's shoulder and looked at her profile.

His appearance hasn't changed much, but his hair has obviously been taken care of.The girl's hair is soft and slender, with a few strands of bangs slightly curved, hanging on both sides of her eyebrows and eyes.

Although he still looks cold and fresh when he is not speaking, the bridge of his nose and the curve of his lips are very soft, giving him a unique bookish air.

Sensing her gaze, Zou Feiniao smiled, turned his head to look at her, and said "um", with a slightly raised tone.

None of the three had lunch, and the first thing they did when they arrived at the hotel was to have a meal in the cafeteria.

Just as he was digging the gap between the oyster meat with a knife and fork, Zou Feiniao's cell phone rang.She took out her mobile phone from her pocket and went to the French window to connect.

The crowd was crowded, and the girl's expression was blurred under the light and shadow. The person on the other end of the phone said something, she smiled, and then turned her back.

Lemon juice is sprinkled on the Marlborough oyster meat, which is tender and refreshing.Lu Yuexi took a bite, but lost interest.She put down the knife and fork, and kept her gaze on the girl in the distance.

This phone call took a while.

Assistant Wen's expression was a bit complicated, but she didn't say anything, and just slowly finished the food on the plate.

Lu Yuexi took the time to glance at her, and said calmly: "Go back to rest after eating, you have worked hard these two days."

"...Okay." Assistant Wen was smart, and walked lightly when she left.

Not long after she left, Zou Feiniao came back after answering the phone.

"Where's Miss Wen?"

"Go back to rest." Lu Yuexi said, "Let's go back after eating."

"Ah."

What Zou Feiniao took was Chinese food, steamed fish balls and sweet and sour pork with pineapple, which were already cold.

The other party didn't care about it, picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head to concentrate on dealing with the cold rice and dishes, without any distractions.

She didn't explain who she just called, and she doesn't seem to intend to explain now.

"Do you want to eat?" Lu Yuexi handed over his portion of untouched salmon meat, "I can't eat any more. If you don't eat it, it will be a waste."

Zou Feiniao naturally did not refuse, and lowered his head obediently to finish the smoked fish.

Lu Yuexi leaned back in the chair, just watched her finish eating quietly, without asking any questions.

In the hotel room, Xiao Biesheng was newlyweds.As soon as the curtains were drawn, it suddenly became their little world.

But Lu Yuexi obviously felt that Zou Feiniao's performance was different, and she didn't have the extra energy to think about the difference.

It was dark for two hours before I had the strength to turn on the light and drink water.

Lu Yuexi unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle, and was not in a hurry to drink it. He looked back at Zou Feiniao, thoughtful, with a strange expression.

After a long time, I squinted my eyes and asked, "Be honest, what have you been doing during this time? What, how did you become so proficient?"

"Huh?" Zou Feiniao couldn't hold back after realizing it, and laughed, and then she finally realized that Lu Yuexi's expression was not quite right, so she leaned over and kissed her hair, and replied meaningfully, "I learned a little... …material."

Lu Yuexi was well aware of the abundance of information on the Internet, so he was relieved to hear her say that, but he still couldn't let go of face, so he patted her and hummed, "Not serious."

After finishing speaking, after she drank two sips of water, she couldn't help but feel jealous. She stretched out her feet and hooked the girl's flexible waist, her tone changed slightly:

"Then what information have you learned, you can teach me again."

This "information" has been studied until after five o'clock in the afternoon, and they went out for dinner halfway, and when they came back, they both concentrated on watching the movie.

Zou Feiniao explained that he had to go back to class tomorrow morning, and after class was over, he would take her for a walk around the school.

In fact, Lu Yuexi wanted to go to Kaikoura, Queenstown, but the school his lover attended was obviously more worth visiting, so he simply pushed back the beach attractions and nodded in agreement.

When taking a bath at night, Lu Yuexi didn't mute his phone outside, even the notifications from the software, so as not to miss important things.

So halfway through the bubbles on her body, she vaguely heard a clear "ding dong", guessing that someone had sent her a message.

When she came out, Zou Feiniao was leaning against the head of the bed, fiddling with the phone in his hand.She seemed to be answering some important news, her brows were slightly wrinkled, her fingers were flying, she coughed occasionally, and the tip of her nose was reddish.

"Who are you chatting with?" Lu Yuexi rubbed her hair and walked over to tease, "So serious."

"Yeah." Zou Feiniao turned the phone over and put it on the bedside table, Lu Yuexi only had time to see a dialog box.

"I'm going to take a shower." She said, took out the change of clothes in her backpack, and went to the bathroom without looking back.

Lu Yuexi kept staring at her as she closed the bathroom door, and then his eyes slowly fell on the mobile phone on the bedside table.

It's too tasteless to look through your lover's mobile phone, and of course she wouldn't do it.

But she also sensed the other party's carelessness and hesitation for no reason.After so many years, Zou Feiniao still has a dull personality, and he just holds back his emotions and won't express them at all.

Lu Yuexi used to be tolerant and understanding from the perspective of an elder. After all, she was eight years older than her, so she could guess how much a girl was thinking.

However, it was slightly different now, the other party didn't know when his thoughts became deeper, he remained calm, and even his smile was impeccable.From the perspective of lovers' relationship, Lu Yuexi felt tired.

No matter what she said, she was not young anymore.

Lu Yuexi sat on the bedside for a while, listening to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, then picked up her mobile phone and turned on the screen, and the notification bar of the latest WeChat news was in sight.

A simple friend verification notice, the verification content is only two words, Ye Huai.

Lu Yuexi was taken aback, staring at the phone in silence for a long time.

After she came back from studying in the UK, Ye Huai did not pass her WeChat application even though she was forced to do so. The two of them communicated through text messages and phone calls, but now she sent this message inexplicably, without even extra words to explain. .

Of course, Lu Yuexi didn't feel that Ye Huai wanted to make friends with him on a whim. At that time, the woman's disgust and hatred were so obvious, and she said that she would never get along with each other. Now this is...

Could it be that something happened to He Ying's parents?

Lu Yuexi frowned, and wanted to initiate a temporary conversation with the other party through the verification box, asking the other party's intentions.

But before the editing was finished, Zou Feiniao came out of the bathroom, with black hair and white skin, wrapped only in a bath towel, and was about to use a hair dryer to dry his hair.

Lu Yuexi was not in the mood to continue editing the news, passed the verification casually, put the phone aside, leaned over to help her blow-dry her hair graciously, and told the other party to take medicine after blow-drying her hair.

As for whether Ye Huai continued to send messages to himself after passing the verification, Lu Yuexi did not pay attention.

It was also the next morning, when she was in a daze, she suddenly heard a "jingle".

When he woke up, Zou Feiniao was lying on his back on the side of the bed.Lu Yuexi yawned, hugged her, and sighed when she saw her frowning, as if she was restless in her sleep.

After quietly looking at it for a long time, I stretched out my hand, took the mobile phone on the bedside table, and pressed it to look at it.

It was only a quarter past seven.She originally wanted to check the time so as not to miss Zou Feiniao's class.Unexpectedly, the mobile phone received a message 15 minutes ago.

Ye Huai asked: Can you show me that painting by Ah Ying?

Calculating the time, it is about two o'clock in the night in Ou City.

Before Lu Yuexi could think of anything, the girl next to her moved, as if she was about to wake up.

She quickly put the phone aside, Zou Feiniao half-closed her eyes and said hoarsely, "What time is it?"

"It's still early, a little after seven."

Zou Feiniao also touched his mobile phone to look at it, and smiled: "It's getting late, we have to pass at 08:30."

"Wake up then?"

Zou Feiniao glanced at her and pulled her over: "Go to sleep a little longer."
