Chapter 38 Eye-catching "Don't forget me here." ...
"don't want."
Yan Ning rarely rejects others so bluntly.
But now.
After coming to his senses from a moment of daze, Yan Ning felt a little angry for no reason.
She turned around, quickened her pace, and walked forward, not wanting to say another word to anyone for the time being.
Having said that.
Yan Ning just passed by that person.
Immediately, behind her, there was the slight sound of bicycle wheels turning on the ground.
Still following closely.
I matched her pace and kept a short distance from her.
After walking for a while.
Yan Ning's inexplicably chaotic heart calmed down a little, and then he remembered again -
She has more to say.
I want to talk to Lu Chen.
She realized belatedly that if she met other classmates on the road now, it would be even worse.
So, Yan Ning slowed down his pace a little.
Hearing the subtle noise of wheels behind him and the car slowing down again, Yan Ning lowered his eyes, thought quickly, and chose to turn at the next path just a few steps away, abandoning the main road and walking towards the alley that led directly to the side gate of Huize Community.
That road.
Ever since the incident with Fang Bai, Yan Ning has never left again.
Thinking of that terrible and dangerous night, there was a moment when Yan Ning unconsciously tightened the straps of his schoolbag.
But then I heard the still faint sound of wheels behind me that never stopped.
Wonderfully.
She calmed down again.
even so.
Once you enter the alley, make sure there's no one around.
Yan Ning stopped, turned around, and asked Lu Chen, who had also stopped, with a little annoyance:
"Did you follow me on purpose!?"
Lu Chen's eyes drooped, his face innocent:
"But, you know, Your Honor, my grandparents also live in this neighborhood up ahead, so this should be considered—
On the way?"
Yan Ning: ...
Does he need to say this?
Seeing him pretending to be good, Yan Ning felt a little angrier.
Just at this moment, someone happened to pass by the alley.
Yan Ning diverted some attention to look at the passerby, and confirmed that the person was not their classmate and had no intention of entering the alley.
Yan Ning turned his gaze back and continued viciously:
"That's not what I meant!"
She didn't want to speak loudly, so she simply took another step forward, closing the distance between them, and then continued speaking quickly:
"Why did you suddenly go to math cram school today? You're famous and eye-catching, don't you know? If you get targeted by some bad guys, it would be very dangerous!"
She said it with a serious look on her face.
Somehow.
Lu Chen suddenly raised his hand as if a little uncomfortable, bent his index finger, and rubbed the tip of his nose lightly with the joint.
"Is it the same here?" he asked.
"What?"
Yan Ning didn't understand.
"that is--"
Lu Chen raised his hand but didn't put it down. Instead, he moved it to the back of his neck. With the increase of his slightly restrained movements, this man actually looked a little embarrassed:
"Am I also eye-catching?"
But at the same time, those dark eyes looked at me too directly.
And faintly revealed a kind of.
The oppressive feeling of not giving up until the goal is achieved.
but--
Yan Ning pursed his lips.
Is this important?!
Maybe the air circulation in the alley is poor.
Although Yan Ning was complaining in her heart, as their eyes met, the heat around her still rose uncontrollably.
Lu Chen still stared at her.
Even in the next second.
He moved sideways, bent slightly, and leaned forward. When their eyes were almost level, the distance between them had unknowingly shortened again.
"No, isn't it?" he asked again.
Yan Ning swallowed unconsciously.
She didn't want to admit it.
But, honestly, I can't deny it...
The atmosphere was rapidly developing in an unknown direction that made Yan Ning feel vaguely uneasy.
Those dark eyes were too deep and bewitching.
Yan Ning's mind was blank at this moment.
After several seconds, she finally found her voice and said instinctively and hurriedly:
"Don't change the subject!"
Those dark eyes glanced at the girl's face inconspicuously.
Immediately.
"good--"
This person is obedient.
Lu Chen stood up straight, and the oppressive feeling she had just felt disappeared in an instant. It even seemed like everything was just an illusion.
Then, he smiled casually and answered:
“I went there because I had cram school to attend.”
It's like the answer is right there on the question itself, with virtually no new information.
Instead, it relaxed the tension in Yan Ning's heart.
That's right.
No matter how good your academic performance is.
There also has to be a process of "learning".
There was nothing strange about Lu Chen attending cram school. There were plenty of training classes in the city, and it just happened that she and he went to the same one. It wasn't impossible.
Yan Ning convinced himself so easily.
She threw all the remaining messy shadows into the trash can and then emptied it with one click.
Her inner world returned to peace.
Even if it's only on the surface.
Yan Ning didn't ask any more questions, turned around and continued walking forward.
Lu Chen also followed by pushing the cart.
I only took two steps.
Yan Ningcai realized another thing——
Doesn't that mean.
Lu Chen will still go to class...
Almost at the same time.
Lu Chen's slightly casual voice came from beside him, "You just said, what kind of danger will I encounter?"
How could she forget the important matter!
Yan Ning stopped in his tracks, looked sideways, and said anxiously:
"that is……"
As soon as he started talking, Yan Ning didn't know how to explain it in detail.
Regardless of others, let's just talk about the girls she met on the stairs. The so-called "tracking" and "locator" might just be a joke on their part. If she told Lu Chen about it directly, it would probably seem like she was making a big deal out of nothing...
But if she doesn't alert Lu Chen, she will feel uneasy...
The wait might be a bit long.
Lu Chen curled his lips and smiled again, "Ah, what could it be?"
He lowered his voice.
The already pleasant sound even sounded a little...
Lure.
This word suddenly came to mind.
Yan Ning broke them up in a second.
She immediately ended her hesitation and decided to take off her backpack and get the notebook inside.
Seeing this, Lu Chen reached out and helped her hold the handle of the bag, making it easier for her to zip it up and take things out.
Yan Ning was anxious to get something, and his heart was in a mess. He loosened the backpack strap without thinking:
"Ah, thank you."
Then, the next second.
She saw—
The little dolphin that Lu Chen gave her was still hanging on the zipper of the schoolbag.
So many days passed.
Yan Ning had actually already gotten used to it. There was this touch of blue and white that accompanied her every day, hanging on the side of her schoolbag.
But it does not mean.
At this moment, in this atmosphere that seemed to be developing in an inexplicable direction and under the gaze of its original owner, she was able to ignore the little dolphin calmly and unwaveringly.
But the current situation.
It feels a bit weird whether to mention it or not.
Yan Ning gritted his teeth and simply zipped up, took out the notebook, and closed it at the fastest speed in his life.
With fast speed, it is inevitable that the force will be strong.
Fortunately, Lu Chen used some strength to carry the bag, and the zipper on the bag was of good quality.
Otherwise, do this set of actions.
It's hard to say whether the backpack will fall to the ground or the zipper will break...
Although I know that I am not behaving like usual.
However, Yan Ning still tried his best to ignore these details.
After taking out the notebook.
Yan Ning pretended to be fine and turned directly to the page where he had written something in the car. Lu Chen, probably curious, bent down and leaned over to take a look. He even read out the title -
“Summer safety tips?”
A clear voice, with a hint of doubt, sounded in my ears.
Yan Ning: "Yeah."
Fortunately, he had a rough idea of what to say beforehand. Yan Ning lowered his eyes and said quickly, a little vaguely:
"It's the holidays now, and schools and communities are always holding safety education sessions, so I just summarized them."
She had finished speaking.
But he didn't ask any more questions and didn't make any moves.
Yu Guangli.
The black-haired head with a superior profile was still close at hand and had not moved away.
He seemed to be concentrating on reading the contents of her notebook.
After a second, she quietly raised her eyes.
It seemed that she had never seen Lu Chen from this angle before.
First look.
My attention was attracted by a very faint mole at the corner of his left eye.
She had never noticed it before.
His skin color is fair, and when you get close, the small mole is hard to miss.
Looking horizontally, his hair is pure black, and it should be time for a cut. The hair on his temples is a little long. If she were to meet him for the first time now, Lin Xinci's impression of him as a good student might be somewhat reduced.
Further to the side, there was also a mole at the back of his upper earlobe.
This position is a bit tricky, I wonder if Lu Chen doesn't even know it...
Her thoughts were scattered all over the place.
In a breath.
The light, pleasant citrus scent that often appeared on him slowly enveloped her without her noticing.
The heartbeat gradually accelerated.
Yan Ning finally came to her senses and realized that she had unconsciously clenched a corner of the notebook and started to feel inexplicably nervous again.
She today.
real.
It's so abnormal.
Just realized this.
The next moment.
Lu Chen looked up at her unexpectedly.
Yan Ning also met his gaze unconsciously and noticed that he moved his lips before he opened his mouth.
Yan Ning suddenly.
Produce seeds.
The guilty feeling of being caught.
So, she moved faster than she thought. She took a small step back and then, with a "swish", tore off the page of tips from the notebook.
The paper trembled a few times in the breeze.
In a trance.
She seemed to hear a faint chuckle.
Yan Ning suddenly realized that her movement was quite loud...
So, pretending to be calm and following her plan, she took another step forward.
Because her schoolbag was still in Lu Chen's hand. He had straightened up at this moment, but the position of holding her schoolbag had not changed.
This made it easier for Yan Ning to put the notebook back.
She held up the paper, blocking the two of them, unzipped it quickly, stuffed the notebook in it, and pretended to be busy while taking a break, and said quickly:
"There are always so many people around you, and there might be some with ulterior motives. Anyway, it won't hurt to remember some safety tips and be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Without waiting for Lu Chen to comment.
Yan Ning wanted to get his schoolbag back.
However, when she pulled the strap to lift him up, the man did not let go as she expected.
"Let me get it for you."
She thought he was going to carry it for her.
Before Yan Ning could utter a subconscious refusal, the bony hand holding her schoolbag moved slightly and hung her bag on the handlebars of the mountain bike.
……so.
That's fine.
She attended a day of cram school and her backpack was filled with a lot of teaching materials. Although it was not too heavy, the weather was hot and humid in the summer, and the backpack was stuck to her back and not breathable. She couldn't help sweating as she walked.
Hang on Lu Chen's car.
It would not cause any burden to him and would also provide convenience to her.
It's kind of like... having the best of both worlds.
"Can you give me this, too?"
Lu Chen turned back and pointed at the piece of paper in Yan Ning's hand.
It was originally written for him anyway.
Yan Ning handed it over.
It's been delayed for a while.
But it was hard to tell whether it was just due to time constraints or something else. As soon as Lu Chen took it, Yan Ning pointed to the front and said that they should talk while walking. Lu Chen nodded in agreement.
There was silence for a few seconds.
Lu Chen suddenly said, "Since it's so dangerous——"
The topic was brought back again.
Yan Ning subconsciously looked up at him.
"Let's go home together from now on, shall we?"
It was a completely unexpected direction of conversation.
Yan Ning was stunned.
Lu Chen spoke again and added, "I only signed up for mathematics."
The cram school classes are large, with half-day sessions, and math classes are only on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, which means that he only goes to class on these two afternoons.
"I won't go to self-study on Sunday either."
After observing her expression calmly, Lu Chen added.
The setting sun shines down through the eaves.
The young man with a smile in his eyes is given a warm filter.
He added, "I'll wait for you in this alley."
The alley is quiet.
Yan Ning has always had difficulty making friends.
There was a lot of staff turnover in the cram school, and she had long been accustomed to it, and kept to herself after the course was over.
It was amazing that this was the first time that someone accompanied her on the way home after class.
And, as long as she nodded.
This will continue to be the case in the future.
Twice a week, not a long distance.
It doesn't seem greedy.
As soon as this thought came to mind, the balance in Yan Ning's heart began to tilt uncontrollably.
It was very unlike her that she didn't want to say no...
After a while.
finally.
Yan Ning nodded imperceptibly.
"……good."
Anyway, she's been acting weird today, so there's nothing wrong with ending it weirdly.
What's even stranger is that Lu Chen seems to be happier than her.
"That's a deal,"
He bent down slightly again, stretched out his hand, bent his pinky finger, and smiled, "Don't forget me here."
So, just like that time a long time ago.
She put her hand close to his and made a promise, her eyes serious and she promised:
"I won't forget it."
Although we are going home together.
But before leaving the alley, the two separated.
Yan Ning left first, and Lu Chen said he would wait ten minutes before entering the community.
This will also avoid the situation where you would be unable to explain yourself if you meet Lin Xinci on the road.
Ten minutes later.
Lu Chen rode his mountain bike into the residential complex and parked it in the carport downstairs.
The young man took big steps and reached the third floor in no time.
He grabbed his backpack and took out the key, but he didn't rush to open the door. Instead, he first glanced across at the closed and quiet Room 301.
The key was inserted into the keyhole and just turned half a circle, he unconsciously turned back and took a second look.
as well as.
The door lock opened.
Before sliding the door into the house.
Even he himself felt that the third eye was a bit too much.
"Promising."
Lu Chen snorted.
"It's already a pinky promise. It's not like we won't see each other again."
He said so.
But the curve of the mouth corners really can't deceive people.
Lu Chen walked in with an especially good mood.
In the kitchen, the old-fashioned range hood was running rumblingly, and the closed glass door could not block out the lingering aroma of food.
Lu Chen didn't go into the house.
He stood at the entrance and carefully took out the neatly folded piece of paper from the pocket of his shirt-style jacket, unfolded it, and looked carefully at the girl's beautiful handwriting again.
There are six summer safety tips in total.
He had always had an exceptional memory, and could memorize any concept or formula, no matter how long or abstract, at a glance. Yet, he read these few short lines over and over again, deliberately and unconsciously.
Until the sound of smoking stopped.
The glass door was opened.
Lu Chen seemed to come back to his senses, grabbed his backpack, and took out the black pencil case he had just bought at the stationery store on the way back.
There, there was only a white-barreled signature pen lying quietly.
The sight touches it.
His thoughts drifted away, and for a moment his mind flashed back to the girl's wet, round, almond-shaped eyes as she handed him the pen...
The sound of slippers stepping on the wooden floor could be heard.
Lu Chen didn't dare to waste any more time.
Unzip the inner pocket, refold the paper, and put it inside with the four corners flat.
The zipper just closed.
Grandma happened to be passing by with an empty bowl and chopsticks in her hand, and she caught a glimpse of Lu Chen at the entrance.
"Don't be silly and go help your grandfather."
Lu Chen, carrying his backpack, couldn't help but smile brightly and replied, "Okay!"
301 just across the wall.
Lin Xinci was still in the kitchen, watching the bubbling pork rib soup that was almost done.
Yan Ning closed the door and changed into home clothes, but did not sit at the desk as usual to do the homework left by the tutoring class.
Instead, he threw himself onto the bed.
She buried her face in the quilt.
Silently and somewhat dazedly, I recalled everything that happened today.
After a while.
When sweat broke out on her forehead and her body became increasingly hot, and she was even almost out of breath, Yan Ning raised her head in surprise and met her eyes in the mirror on the bedside table.
She blushed.
Like a freshly ripe apple.
In her peripheral vision, the air conditioner, which she would usually turn on as soon as she came back, still had its indicator light off and was not working.
...Really.
No wonder.
So she quickly climbed out of bed, found the remote control, and after a "beep" sound, the cool breeze finally saved her from the water...
Two situations.
Everything is so beautiful.
It's as if.
There's no better summer than this.
