Chapter 61 Red Line Spring, Dream...
That night, I returned home.
As usual, Yan Ning organized the day's notes and wrote down the plan for tomorrow. Then, he changed into pajamas, washed up, turned on a night light, and lay down on the bed twenty minutes before his usual bedtime.
During this short period of time, she had originally classified it as "thinking about things".
When it comes to her worries, she cannot avoid the person who is basically caused by him and revolves around him. Of course, that person is Lu Chen.
But I don’t know why.
A lot had happened tonight, she had just met Lu Chen, and her heartbeat had accelerated abnormally and her temperature had risen not long ago...
But Yan Ning was now lying on the bed, facing the ceiling, his mind was blank.
Not long.
Not only did she not suffer from insomnia as she had expected.
And just like that, I fell asleep.
However, the next morning, before the alarm clock rang, Yan Ning suddenly woke up from his dream more than an hour early.
Her breathing was rapid, her heart was beating fast, and her pajamas were soaked with a thin layer of sweat on her body.
The night light by the bed was still on.
The soft and dim light illuminated a small piece of the world. The familiar scene made Yan Ning slowly realize that she was at home and what had just happened was all a dream.
But this dream.
It's too real, too relevant to current events——
That's right.
She dreamed of... Lu Chen.
In that dream, it was a sunny day. On the lawn of the park, there was a seven-pound cat that was almost as big as a tiger, rolling around happily. There was a pile of cat food like a small mountain beside it.
Before Yan Ning had time to be surprised, Lu Chen suddenly appeared next to him.
"Okay, now Qi Jin won't be hungry anymore."
His voice sounded unusually happy, and he must be very satisfied with this solution. Then, he turned his head and looked at her, his voice deliberately lowered, as if with a hook:
"Now, we should talk about our business."
In the dream, she was like a small animal that instinctively sensed danger.
I turned around and subconsciously wanted to escape.
However.
"Where are you going?"
She felt a restraint on her wrist and was forced to turn around. She saw Lu Chen's too beautiful eyes slightly curved, just like the male demon in the picture book, smiling seductively:
"I didn't let you go."
He raised his slender hand, his fingers intertwined, hooking a thin red thread.
The other side of the string was tied around her wrist.
He pulled lightly, and the red string pulled her back to him.
"Don't you understand? What I mean is..."
His lips curled slightly, and his voice became softer and more seductive.
Keep tightening your fingers around the red thread, one by one.
At the same time, he leaned in closer, closer, until there was no distance between his lips and her ears...
The dream ended abruptly here.
Because Yan Ning was suddenly awakened from her dream, her cheeks were still burning hot. She lay on her back, staring at the ceiling, and was stunned for a while before she realized it belatedly and thought -
This can't be.
that is.
Legendary.
Spring, dream...
As soon as this idea came to mind, Yan Ning immediately denied it by shaking his head hastily.
What are you thinking about???
What are you thinking about!!!
It's summer now, what's the point of spring...
Her cheeks flushed, she felt embarrassed and annoyed as she tried to push these thoughts out of her mind. At the same time, as if to escape, she hurriedly turned off the night light.
The room returned to darkness.
However, as daybreak approached, a faint ray of sunlight still shone through the curtains that were not completely closed and onto the end of the bed.
Yan Ning was no longer sleepy.
She stared at the ray of sunlight for a while, and after her mood calmed down a little, she began to want to shirk responsibility.
It’s all Lu Chen’s fault!
It was all because he always loved to tease people! That was why such a mean, teasing "Lu Chen" appeared in her dream!
Yan Ning came to this conclusion in such a serious and indignant manner.
And a second later.
And she overturned it herself——
All right.
We can't blame him entirely.
The main responsibility probably lies with her, she had lustful thoughts that she shouldn't have had...
The last two words.
It was like a hot potato, making her feel hot from head to toe.
Yan Ning hurriedly straightened his mind, pretending to be fair and impartial, and made a final conclusion again -
Then.
She bears a large part of the responsibility.
He also took a small half, okay...
-
Because for two consecutive days, all kinds of unexpected things happened to Lu Chen.
On Friday, during the day, Yan Ning felt a little uncomfortable when he was planning to go play with Xin Jing during a free break.
only.
When I think of the last thing I said last night, that casual remark, but also a promise—"See you tomorrow."
Yan Ning went anyway.
Time flies.
In the corridor.
I said goodbye to Xin Jing before class started.
Yan Ning turned away from the guardrail, his eyes inadvertently passing through the back row of the Wen 1 classroom opposite him.
Then, I saw——
By the window, in the seat next to it.
Lu Chen held his chin with one hand, his elbow resting on the desk, casually and leisurely turning the pen, his head tilted, his gaze directed towards the distance outside the window.
The moment she looked over.
He adjusted his sight instantly, capturing her gaze accurately and meeting hers.
The sun is shining brightly.
The young man had clear eyebrows and bright eyes. He smiled gently, and his eyes seemed to be filled with the bright and intoxicating spring light.
Yan Ning couldn't help but feel moved again, but he nodded slightly.
This greeting, which was tacitly understood by both parties and completely unknown to outsiders, was completed instantly.
There was a lot of noise in the teaching building.
What was even louder was the sound of her heartbeat, which was as exciting as a drum.
Available at the same time.
Her heart.
It's like being on a small boat on the ocean. Although it's not completely safe and there's still a huge risk of capsizing and falling into the sea, you're no longer drifting aimlessly.
-
The end of May is coming to an end quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it is the time for the college entrance examination again.
No. 1 Middle School is a college entrance examination test site, and the classrooms for the first and second grade students will also be occupied. Therefore, after arriving at school on Wednesday, the 4th, there will be no more classes. Everyone must clean up their personal belongings in the classroom, and then arrange the tables and chairs according to the requirements.
After the acceptance of each class is completed, we can start our vacation and return to school on Monday, the 9th.
Yan Ning took most of the books home early in the morning, just like ants moving house, so she sorted them out quickly. She also helped several female classmates move some things to the dormitory.
Before noon, the acceptance of Class 4's classroom was completed and the vacation officially began.
For lunch, Yan Ning and Xin Jing went to a nearby snack street and bought several snacks. They shared the food with each other and were both very full.
There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so Yan Ning got on the car back to Xin Jing's home after Xin Jing dragged him there (crossed out) and invited him so kindly that he couldn't refuse.
Go to Xin Jing's house.
It was Yan Ning's first time here, but Xin Jing's parents were at work and not at home, so it was just the two of them together, so Yan Ning didn't feel too restrained.
Xin Jing pulled Yan Ning to her bedroom. The overall color tone of the room was pink, and there were a lot of dolls piled on the bedside. Xin Jing made some space, patted the side, and asked Yan Ning to lie down with her, and Yan Ning did so.
The two little sisters lay on the bed together and continued to chat about all sorts of things.
Not long.
Xin Jing excitedly mentioned:
"Oh right! Last week at my Lin Lu's concert, there was a wet dance segment that was super sexy!! I can't have something this good to myself!!"
As Xin Jing spoke, she excitedly took the tablet and wanted to show it to Yan Ning.
The video was found quickly.
It must have been an official filming. The camera, music, and sound recording were all professionally produced. As soon as the lights came on on the giant stage in the stadium, the fans' screams were so loud that they almost blew the roof off the room.
The idols of the 5MEN idol group appeared, half-kneeling on the stage which was covered with a thin layer of water, and lined up in a row. All members wore silver half-face eye masks, white silk shirts of the same color but different styles, black trousers, and black leather shoes.
The music starts.
A dance that is sometimes intense and sometimes beautiful, accompanied by occasional floor movements, such as leaning over and doing a wave. The white shirts on the men are gradually soaked by water and torn apart. In the second half, they basically only have a decorative function. Then, with the movements, large areas of well-trained chest and abdominal muscles are vaguely revealed.
Xin Jing was in sync with the screams of the fans in the background of the video throughout the whole process, and she seemed to be completely immersed in the video.
Yan Ning, blushing slightly, also watched the whole thing, but she looked away slightly when she saw some scenes that were too restrictive, such as kneeling on the ground and thrusting the hips, or directly lifting clothes.
The music ends.
The video was about to end and the stage was about to go dark. Xin Jing pressed the pause button and turned around impatiently to ask Yan Ning next to her:
"How's it going?"
Yan Ning thought about it and gave a fair evaluation:
"They dance very well and have good figures."
"Could it be that you—
Aren’t you excited or thrilled?
Don’t you want to go to the scene to experience the visual impact of the live broadcast on the super large screen?
5MEN's concert at the Marina Bay Arena is at the end of July, so don't miss it if you're passing by!
Xin Jing changed her tone to that of a sales host, shook Yan Ning's arm, and tried her best to sell.
In fact, Yan Ning knew that there were many young ladies who chased stars with Xin Jing. She didn’t lack someone to accompany her to the concert, but just wanted to pull her into the fandom and chase the same idol.
Unfortunately, Yan Ning is really not very interested in these things.
Occasionally, enjoying the stage with friends is a form of entertainment, but she is not interested in traveling across provinces to chase stars in person.
Plus, when school starts again, I will be in my third year of high school.
Although, recently, her parents still did not make any demands on her studies, and in addition, she had already taken two monthly exams and one midterm exam in the second half of her senior year, and her grades were still among the top ten in the school.
However, Yan Ning still wanted to make good use of this summer vacation to take some necessary tutoring classes to improve her weak points. Lin Xinci had recently been helping her select these classes.
So, under Xin Jing's blinking and expectant gaze.
Yan Ning still shook his head honestly, "Not bad."
Then, she added seriously, "But if Xinxin needs me to accompany you, I will go with you."
Xin Jing felt somewhat regretful:
"Ah, I thought that if I took out this hidden treasure, it would seduce my Ningning~~ Never mind, let's wait until the day when there is a group that you like, and then we can go to the scene together!"
Yan Ning nodded in agreement.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xin Jing jumped to the next topic.
Xin Jing cleared her throat seriously.
"Next—
It’s a quiz with prizes!!”
Yan Ning also immediately straightened his expression and prepared himself for battle.
Xin Jing raised her hand and resumed the progress bar of the paused video on her tablet. She pointed at several masked men standing in a row and said,
"Ningning, guess which one is my Lin Lu?"
Although Yan Ning knew what Lin Lu looked like, none of them took off their masks during the entire video, so it was obviously impossible to judge based on this.
However, after a brief thought, she pointed at the second person from the left and said firmly:
"he."
“Answer—Correct!!”
After Xin Jing finished her announcement, she got out of bed and went to get the prizes that would be presented to her regardless of whether she answered correctly or not, a pile of snacks and drinks. When she came back, she asked in surprise:
"Ningning, you're amazing! How did you guess that?"
The two of them moved to the carpet beside the bed. A small folding table was placed on the ground with snacks and iced cola on it. They sat side by side on the cushions next to it.
"Well—"
Yan Ning took a sip of iced cola first, kept the topic a secret for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"Actually, it's very simple. Even though you screamed when everyone else came out, you were obviously happier when the camera was on him."
Xin Jing snapped her fingers and laughed:
"Oh, my Ningning understands me the best~~"
However, there were some things Yan Ning didn't quite understand.
For example.
Yan Ning was also quite curious. The figures on the stage were all similar in size to begin with, and now that their outfits were basically the same, their dancing was indistinguishable.
"Xinxin, how did you recognize your Lin Lu at first sight?"
When talking about this, Xin Jing became very excited.
Xin Jing grabbed the tablet and confidently discussed everything from clothing and body shape, hair and makeup, to dance details and range of motion, and even went so far as to discuss brain science.
"As soon as I saw him, the frequency of my brain waves definitely changed, and I felt a sense of happiness!"
It discusses in all aspects how different Lin Lu is in her eyes.
Some of them were more intuitive, and Yan Ning could still understand them.
However, if it was too subtle or too metaphysical, she would be confused.
"How can I describe this feeling..."
Xin Jing suddenly had an idea. She slapped her thigh, pointed at the video, and cut to the full view. In the paused frame, she changed the statement directly:
"Let me give you an analogy: pick any person and imagine him as the God of Roads."
Yan Ning was stunned.
I never expected Lu Chen to be mentioned suddenly.
However, Xin Jing didn't give her any time to react. She clicked the play button and said:
"If, now, hypothetically, it was the God of Road standing on the stage."
Yan Ning's gaze was focused on the person in the center of the stage.
He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
What a coincidence, he also happens to look a bit like Lu Chen.
Thus, Yan Ning's thoughts were caught off guard, as if bewitched, and he subconsciously followed Xin Jing's description.
And once that person on the screen, the face behind the mask.
It became...
Lu Chen.
It's as if.
There really is something different.
The next shot happened to be a close-up of that person.
He knelt on one knee, tilted his head back, and slid his slender hand straight down from his neck, passing through the soaked white shirt, to the hem. He casually lifted it, revealing a section of his waist and abdominal muscles that rose and fell rapidly with his breathing...
I don't know why.
Yan Ning's mind suddenly went blank, as if it was a blackout.
At the same time, without her realizing it, her cheeks turned completely red in an instant.
The video was quickly played again.
Xin Jing turned around and asked impatiently:
"Well, is it..."
Xin Jing was halfway through her words when she saw Yan Ning's blushing cheeks, and she changed her mind and concluded with a smile:
"It seems that things are very different~~"
Yan Ning quickly took a big sip of ice cola to try to cover it up, but it was unsuccessful. As her best friend, Xin Jing certainly understood Yan Ning as well as Yan Ning understood her.
Yan Ning could only give in defeat and nodded lightly and quickly in acknowledgement.
"Tsk tsk tsk, even my pure and unselfish Fairy Ningning has fallen for mortal things. This Road God is truly amazing, with both excellent looks and amazing abilities—"
Xin Jing touched her chin, deliberately dragging out the tone, and said word by word:
"I agree to this marriage!"
"You, you, what are you talking about?!"
Although Xin Jing always spoke in this style, Yan Ning was so frightened and embarrassed at the moment that he could hardly speak clearly.
Xin Jing smiled wildly:
"I'm not wrong. Why don't we contact the God of Roads and see if he agrees. He'll have to thank me and agree to give you to him."
"I can't send it!"
After Yan Ning refuted shyly, he raised his hand to shut up his friend who seemed to have a lot to say.
Xin Jing dodged and laughed, and continued to tease:
"It doesn't matter. The Road God will definitely say - 'Then I'll send me to you'!"
Perhaps it was the hypothetical magic just now that was at work.
Yan Ning's mind suddenly emerged, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled with his lips curled, and said this with a bit of teasing look...
Can.
Her face became more and more red.
Faster heartbeat.
Yet, she was uncontrollably and without any pretense, as if secretly expressing her feelings...
The two girls laughed and joked for a while before turning to the next topic.
But.
Although I was with my friends, chatting about various common topics, and the physiological reaction just now was slowly subsiding.
However, Yan Ning still had the illusion that he was split into two.
Half, enjoying the gathering with good friends.
The other half.
But it was because of the person just mentioned.
Even after finishing that big can of iced cola, I still had some random thoughts and felt self-conscious and uneasy.
-
Yan Ning basically spent the remaining four days studying at home.
Because it is almost the end of the semester and the vacation is long, and also because of the influence of the two words "college entrance examination", the amount of homework assigned by teachers of various subjects has increased sharply.
Yan Ning made a plan, and completed the homework and corresponding review plan smoothly on the weekend morning.
At noon, Lin Xinci came home and said that her grandparents had sent two boxes of freshly ripe cherries, and the courier would probably arrive in the afternoon. She asked Yan Ning to take one box and deliver it to Grandpa Zhao and Grandma Cen across the street.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the cherries arrived.
After Yan Ning unpacked the express, he moved a box according to Lin Xinci's instructions and rang the doorbell of room 302 opposite.
After a while, the door was opened.
Standing in the doorway was Grandma Cen. She had probably just gotten up from a nap, and her usually well-groomed hair was a little messy at the temples.
Yan Ning immediately felt very sorry, "It's all my fault, did I disturb your rest..."
Grandma Cen smiled and waved her hands, "No, I just got better. Besides, silly child, when Grandma saw you, she was so happy that she couldn't wait to blame you."
Not wanting to delay Grandma Cen's rest time any longer, Yan Ning quickly explained his purpose and planned to put down the cherries and leave.
But Grandma Cen insisted on letting her in, went to the kitchen to get a fruit bowl, and said cheerfully:
"It just so happens that Lao Zhao went to the mountains a few days ago and picked some mulberries. They're quite delicious. You can bring some back and try them with your mother."
The mulberries are in the refrigerator.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Yan Ning took the fruit bowl on his own initiative and stood obediently beside the refrigerator to help Grandma Cen.
There was a sound of water coming from the bathroom.
At this point, it stopped.
Soon, there was a soft "click".
The door over there opened.
Yan Ning subconsciously raised his eyes and took a look.
Before she could even finish the words, "Hello, Grandpa Zhao"—
Just one Lu Chen.
Their eyes met.
They all stood there in a daze.
Lu Chen must have just finished taking a shower.
The ends of his hair were still damp, with faint drops of water dripping down. A dark blue towel, probably having just been used to wipe his hair, was casually draped around his neck.
The clothes are well dressed. White T-shirt and shorts.
Combined with the warm air wafting from the bathroom, and perhaps the light citrus scent emanating from his body, it gave a refreshing summer feeling.
All of this.
It should have been an unexpected yet reasonable coincidence.
We should have just said hello and everything would have been fine.
But when Yan Ning's gaze inadvertently turned to the object held in Lu Chen's slightly raised hand, which was still shining with water, at his side.
Immediately.
The taste has changed.
Because it only took her a second to react.
In his hand.
The white one.
Freshly hand washed.
Clothes that can be rolled into a ball and held in the hand.
It should be...
Inner, underwear.
