Chapter 76: Girlfriend "It's numb."
Regarding the explosive posts on the forum.
On the first day Yan Ning and Lu Chen were together, after Lu Chen gained his status as a legitimate friend, he openly replied to the post under his own name.
Lu Chen: Thank you for the invitation. It’s me ^_^.
Then, the post exploded.
In every sense.
First, a bunch of middle school students, bored at home after their exams, opened the forum and saw the explosive post that was trending on the front page, which was pushed to the top by new replies. They originally just wanted to click in to read more, but when they opened it, they found...
Surprisingly, the real boss is here!
Then, everyone shouted something:
Lu Chen? That's the academic master, the boss, Lu Shen, right? Oh, oh, oh, the boss himself has arrived?! Am I so dizzy from playing games that I can't even recognize the words?!
[The person above, there's absolutely no doubt about it, this is definitely me!! Who would dare to spread rumors under the name of a big boss? ? ]
[So—is Lu Shen officially announcing his girlfriend? Ahhhh, what kind of sweet campus drama plot is this! So sweet! I'm dying of excitement!]
They replied excitedly below, and at the same time, did not forget to forward this news to their friends immediately.
However, as everyone spread the word, calling their friends, and then wanted to click back on the forum post to join in the fun, they clicked on the link, only to find that it displayed...
【404 Page Not Found
The link post you visited has been deleted. If you have any questions, please contact the administrator.
Everyone:!!!
Where did that huge post go?
Where is our excitement?? Where is our happiness!!
Many people immediately contacted the administrator directly, but the responses they received were all -
[The post involves personal privacy and will be deleted in accordance with regulations.]
As we all know, there are quite a few active people on the forum of No. 1 Middle School every day. In addition to being used to share learning materials and various campus information, it also has an important function, which is to chat and gossip.
Gossip posts naturally involve some real people.
In order to circumvent censorship, people usually use nicknames or abbreviations to refer to others. The so-called gossip is generally harmless information about what happened between people and whom, or what someone said. If it really involves the privacy of a specific individual, rumors, insults, etc., it will be deleted directly by the administrator.
For example, in this explosive post about Yan Ning and Lu Chen being together, the replies that mentioned the two people's names did not last long. At the suggestion of others, they were changed to the abbreviations of their names.
And now.
The post was inexplicably deleted because it involved personal privacy.
But among all the replies below the post, the only one that mentioned a real person's name was -
Lu Chen said, "Thank you for the invitation," using his real name. It was really me.
After everyone had pondered it for a while, they finally came to their senses, so they said—
The boss deliberately replied using his own name first.
Then, he clicked on Report.
This operation is absolutely amazing!
After that, although there were still some people who didn't believe in the superstition and opened new threads to discuss Lu Shen's official announcement, as long as it involved who the heroine was, they all received deletion notices without exception.
The reason is the same, it involves personal privacy.
So, gradually, everyone accepted two facts:
First, Lu Shen has a girlfriend.
Second, Lu Shen’s girlfriend is very low-key.
Yan Ning was also aware of the forum post.
However, her knowledge was divided into batches.
That night after the confession, the two returned home and sent each other messages saying they had arrived home safely. Yan Ning suddenly remembered the explosive post and mentioned it to Lu Chen, wanting to discuss how to deal with it, but Lu Chen just said:
-[Don't worry, leave it to me.]
He has always been reliable.
Of course, Yan Ning handed it over to him without thinking too much.
Less than ten minutes later, she received a new message from Lu Chen: [Post deleted.]
However, Yan Ning only learned the specific deletion method from Xin Jing two days later.
At this time, Yan Ning was already in Fangcheng.
My cousin Shen Gefei went to college in Fangcheng. She graduated as a senior this year and stayed in Fangcheng to work. She had agreed before that she would take Yan Ning here to have some fun during the vacation between graduation and starting work.
Not included in the plan were Shen Gefei's mother, Ms. Lin Huixin, who was retired and unemployed at home, and Yan Ning's mother, Ms. Lin Xinci, who ran her own shop and had relatively free time. After hearing about the sisters' travel plan, they hit it off and decided to go together.
So, the two sisters traveled together.
It became a road trip for two pairs of mothers and daughters.
Although, this way, travel expenses are higher and you can go to more places.
However, when traveling with their mothers, they must visit the officially recommended check-in locations, and the number of steps they walk every day is always high. After a tiring day returning to the hotel, Yan Ning and Shen Gefei cannot avoid being nagged by their parents to go to bed early and get up early, and play less with their mobile phones.
As a result, the time Yan Ning could freely use his mobile phone every day was greatly reduced.
Moreover, when she chatted with Xin Jing, she was able to do it normally and openly in front of Lin Xinci and the others.
But when it comes to Lu Chen.
Yan Ning became completely unable to control his guilty conscience.
Therefore, except for occasionally, when no one else's attention was on her, Yan Ning dared to secretly forward some beautiful photos of scenery, food, etc. to Lu Chen, and depending on the situation at the time, she would have a brief chat with the person on the other side who always replied to her immediately.
Yan Ning did some careful calculations one day and found out—
Recently, the frequency of her chats with Lu Chen is almost the same as when they were in school.
Therefore, Yan Ning paid no attention to the forum matters until one day when she was chatting with Xin Jing, and Xin Jing forwarded a game video of a gaming anchor that she had recently become addicted to, along with a hundred or eighty words of flattery describing and praising the anchor's gaming skills.
Yan Ning had never played this game before, and was completely confused by the professional terms involved.
So, Xin Jing thoughtfully changed her words:
-[Let's just say, Shuangshi's move is exactly the same as your Lu Shen's method of deleting the explosive post. They've both reached a certain level of perfection, focusing on the unexpected, the mystical, and the fact that if you can keep people guessing, they'll lose!]
Yan Ning was confused.
She was busy typing and asked:
-[Lu Chen? What did he do?]
Then, Yan Ning finally understood from Xin Jing's vivid description how Lu Chen had deleted the post before.
Yan Ning couldn't help but laugh——
That's true.
It's very much his style.
But soon, Yan Ning couldn't laugh anymore, because Xin Jing mentioned that the subsequent posts involving Yan Ning were also deleted.
Yan Ning was isolated here, so the report was naturally not made by her. Xin Jing quickly connected the context and came to the correct conclusion. The voice message she sent was full of ridicule:
"Oh my, it seems that a certain Mr. Lu has adapted to the family status very quickly!"
Coffee shop on the corner.
Yan Ning stayed at her seat and looked after her belongings. She put on her newly bought Bluetooth headset and listened to the voice message when Lin Xinci, Shen Gefei and the others came back with their orders.
Shen Gefei asked with a smile: “Ningning, why is your face still so red after coming in and using the air conditioner for so long?”
Lin Xinci also glanced over.
Facing his family, Yan Ning blushed so much that blood was about to drip out. He quickly turned off his phone, took off his headphones, and could only say:
"The sun is too strong and I was too tired from walking, so this happened..."
More than a week later, Yan Ning and Lin Xinci returned to Wancheng together.
After dinner that night, while Lin Xinci and Yan Xiangrong went out for a walk to digest their food, Yan Ning made the excuse of being tired and stayed home.
Then, Yan Ning finally had some time to be alone in a space where he would not be disturbed for the time being.
The first thing she did was...
Lock the bedroom door.
He took out his phone, clicked on the "Lu Chen" chat interface, and sent out the sentence he had already thought of:
-[What are you doing? ]
The reason why it seems a little urgent.
Besides the fact that time waits for no one, Yan Ning also wanted to take this opportunity to explain the upcoming schedule to Lu Chen.
Specifically.
Given that Fangcheng's impromptu trip took much longer than previously expected.
Yan Ning's original plans for traveling with other friends had to be postponed one by one.
Arranged like this, although the holiday schedule she had received from Lu Chen before had all the days marked as free.
But, in the short term, at least before the end of June, she may not have time to include him in her plans.
And, after not contacting each other for so many days, Yan Ning had to admit that his heartbeat began to feel the familiar restlessness a second before the message was sent.
She really, really wanted to talk to him, really wanted... him.
Messages from the other side are still replied to immediately.
-[I took Qi Jin out for a walk.]
Yan Ning thought quickly and decided that since he was outside, they could chat directly.
So she made a video call directly.
The other party also answered immediately.
The night is hazy and ambiguous.
However, when that familiar, too good-looking face appeared on the screen, perhaps it was a kind of homesickness, or perhaps, he just wanted to appear less anxious and more reserved.
The first words that came out of Yan Ning's mouth were:
"I... want to see Qi Jin."
Lu Chen smiled, "I understand."
He lowered his head and said, "Qi Jin, I'm looking for you."
Immediately, after the camera adjusted for a while, a super cute cat head appeared on the screen.
The night sky and the neon lights of nearby businesses can be vaguely seen in the background. Lu Chen seems to be sitting somewhere to rest. Qi Jin's entire cat should be stepping on his thigh.
Qi Jin had a pair of big round eyes, and was staring at the phone with curiosity.
Yan Ning's heart was almost melting, and he couldn't help but praise her again and again:
"Qi Jin~ You are so cute!"
"Whose kitten is this? It has such round eyes, straight whiskers, and super beautiful fur?"
Qijin responded to her with a "meow" and a "meow meow".
One person and one cat.
We had a happy conversation across the screen for quite a while.
However, just as Qijin raised his paw and was about to touch the screen.
The phone was raised mercilessly.
The cat suddenly disappeared from the picture.
Qijin seemed very dissatisfied and meowed to express his protest.
At this moment, Lu Chen had already adjusted the camera to face him and coughed lightly, "The objection is invalid. The call is for me."
Then, those dark eyes slowly raised and turned to Yan Ning again. His tone was frank, but he left no room for negotiation.
"Okay, now that you've looked at it, it's time to look at me."
Although.
but.
Yan Ning couldn't help but secretly raise the corners of his lips again.
This is actually exactly what she wants.
and--
Is Lu Chen...jealous? Acting like a spoiled brat?
This was the first time Yan Ning had seen this side of him. While it was very novel, he couldn't help but secretly think -
Some people.
He looks like a cold guy.
But actually, when she acts like a spoiled brat, she is super, invincible, epically cute!!!
"Don't refute me, and besides, you have something to say to me."
Maybe it was because he saw that she didn't say anything.
In the camera, the pair of dark eyes changed their usual indifferent expression and stared at her closely, with a rare domineering tone.
But true.
Yan Ning immediately remembered the serious matter she wanted to discuss on the phone.
"Oh, yes, that's right..."
She quickly reported her full schedule until the end of the month to Lu Chen. The implication was, of course, that she probably wouldn't be able to meet him in the near future.
"Are you angry?" Yan Ning asked tentatively after saying that.
Lu Chen didn't look happy: "No."
"Are you happy then?"
She rephrased her words.
On the screen, the man looked up with resentment in his eyes and said, "Of course not."
"My girlfriend is leaving me for a month. Do you want to guess how I feel right now?"
girlfriend.
These three words are a new name.
Yan Ning couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
However, based on the night of her 18th birthday, that unforgettable confession night, after returning home, before going to bed, when she was chatting with Lu Chen, she heard him say:
-[By the way, I think you have already accepted the birthday present I gave you.]
Yan Ning panicked at that time.
She thought that some express delivery was signed for by her parents when she was not at home.
She is anxious.
Then I saw the phone vibrate again.
-[A boyfriend.]
-[That is, me.]
Yan Ning: ...
Her face immediately turned red again and she didn't want to pay attention to him.
But after a few seconds.
Yan Ning grabbed his phone and wrote:
-[I got it.]
The use of specific names seems to make love more real.
From that day on.
Yan Ning had slowly tried to accept it calmly in his heart.
Lu Chen.
It's her boyfriend.
Therefore, Yan Ning felt that his ability to withstand pressure had improved, and he would not be too flustered when faced with the word "girlfriend".
Moreover, now is not the time to be shy. What makes Yan Ning feel even more fresh is Lu Chen's current expressions and reactions.
Good opportunity!
Finally it was her turn to tease him!
Yan Ning thought for a moment, then spoke seriously:
"Let me think about it. This is an emotion between anger and happiness. Could it be—
Jealous? Acting like a spoiled child? Possessive?
Every time she said one more word.
You can feel that there is a handsome guy on the other side of the video call who is a little unhappy because his sore spot has been touched.
"Or—"
Yan Ning stared at the opposite side with a smile, deliberately dragging out the tone, and then, more deliberately said:
"My boyfriend is not very happy now?"
After hearing the first word "my boyfriend".
The person opposite.
It was like being stunned.
Yan Ning then became playful and continued:
"Well, could you please not be upset? Lu Chen? Lu Shen? Brother Lu, brother?"
Then, Yan Ning looked at the other end of the video and saw Lu Chen's expression, which changed from a slight surprise at the beginning to a frown and a look of joy in his eyes. It could even be said that he really enjoyed her teasing and teasing him.
Yan Ning also felt extremely satisfied in his heart.
She was just about to make another effort——
Sudden.
"Sorry, sorry! I'm late! Hey, Brother Lu? Who are you talking to on the phone? You're smiling so passionately. Um, what's up? Are you saying..."
A male voice suddenly came in.
From the initial greetings and teasing, to the sudden turn of events and the final abrupt end, it was as if someone had manually muted the microphone.
Stupid.
Not just that unknown man.
And here.
Yan Ning was immediately silent.
Only on the screen, Lu Chen still looked calm as if nothing had happened.
Can--
He he he!
Aren’t you taking Qi Jin out for a walk?
Why is there someone else next to me?!
Why didn't he tell her? !
Is that so?
The words she just said.
His friends also heard it...
Yan Ning was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. She raised her hand in panic, intending to hang up the phone.
But he was stopped by Lu Chen.
"Don't hang up."
As he spoke, he turned his head to show her the Bluetooth headset on his ear.
so……
Fortunately, she has not yet lost her moral integrity and reputation.
Lu Chen smiled again and asked:
"Can I have a word with them?"
He! Now! He actually knew! He asked her opinion first?!
Although Yan Ning had a lot of opinions about someone at the moment, he still nodded quickly considering the situation.
She originally thought that Lu Chen wanted to explain to his friends.
I never thought——
This person.
He actually.
She raised her eyelids slightly, looked across, and said:
"Keep your voice down, you're disturbing my girlfriend."
Then.
Through the radio waves, Yan Ning heard all kinds of weird cries that were comparable to those in the monkey mountain of the zoo, and he was shocked——
"Ah ... I'm really not hallucinating,
"Girlfriend? Whose? Lu Ge's? Did I hear correctly? I must be dreaming!"
"! You're sick! You're afraid of dreaming and pinching your own flesh!"
"Holy crap! Official announcement! Sprinkle sweetness! And even dog abuse! I just came out for a late-night snack, why do you have to be so dog-harsh?"
"So sweet! I mean, this big bite of lemon slice is so sweet!"
…
Although they were separated by a screen and not actually facing Lu Chen's friends.
But Yan Ning's face was still red.
On the contrary, Lu Chen remained calm.
Lu Chen raised his eyes and glanced lightly to the side.
The other side immediately returned to its previous silence.
Then, he looked at her in the camera again, smiled, and helped translate:
"They're saying hello to you."
Yan Ning tried to face the current situation with a normal mind.
"Oh, then, please say hello to them for me."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Okay."
Then, he raised his eyes again and said to the people next to him, "My girlfriend said, hello to you."
Yan Ning: ...
It really is!
It’s not over!!!
Why do I need to emphasize her identity again?
Is this person addicted?
Why do you have to add those four-character prefix?? ! !
There was silence for a moment.
The boys' voices, all talking at once, exploded again:
"Hello, sister-in-law! Good evening, sister-in-law!"
"Good evening, sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law, we are your witnesses! Brother Lu is definitely a good boyfriend who is always attentive to his parents! He has been waiting for your call all night. When you called, he dropped his hot pot tongs and answered the phone immediately."
"I'll testify too! It was the same thing when we were playing basketball this afternoon! Brother Lu basically never puts his phone down, checking every few minutes to see if you sent any messages, sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law, because you are not here, Brother Lu is alone in the empty room, and I miss you every day."
"I'm reporting this! Brother Lu misses you so much, sister-in-law, and has nowhere to vent his energy. These past few days, he's been busy playing exciting battlefields, basketball, football, and tennis, and he's been brutally beating us up. We're all exhausted. Sister-in-law, you have to take charge and help us control him!"
Lu Chen glanced at the opposite side again.
Someone immediately understood and said, "Brother Lu, I was wrong! I shouldn't have exposed your shortcomings!"
Who knows.
Lu Chen said lightly:
"That's not the fault."
The man turned his gaze back to the camera and continued lightly:
"I'm waiting for my girlfriend's message. It's a normal thing. Do you need to tell me?"
Then, there was another burst of strange howling cries of "I hit it!" "I'm so sour!" and "It's so sweet!"
This is the phone.
Yan Ning's face couldn't be any redder.
She was inexplicably a little hesitant to look at the smiling face on the screen, and only whispered quickly:
"I won't bother you anymore. Eat first. I'm hanging up the video call!"
This person was kind enough to help her pass on the message:
"I told you to eat, so shut your mouth."
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for the food... ah, no, the meal!!"
The phone was disconnected.
Yan Ning's face turned red and he was a little dazed. He fell on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and rolled back and forth several times.
Then, my mood is still too difficult to calm down.
The air conditioner seemed to have lost its cooling effect.
Yan Ning didn't care about his messed up hair or the light sweat on his body. He picked up his phone that was thrown aside, unlocked it, and typed quickly on the screen he hadn't exited just now, accusing:
-[You’re too much!]
-[Why didn't you tell me you were having dinner with your friends? I almost got embarrassed!!]
The message came back in seconds:
-[because. ]
-[I. ]
-[Numb.]
The messages popped up on the screen one after another.
See these last two words.
Yan Ning first thought that what he meant was literally what he said, and the reason was that Qi Jin was standing on him, causing his arms and legs to become numb.
That's why it was inconvenient for him to type and he didn't have time to tell her the situation.
After all, seven pounds is really a kitten with a bit of weight.
All right.
This reason.
It's not that she can't accept it.
But just when Yan Ning was about to show her magnanimity and let the matter go.
Left side of the phone screen.
New news from "Lu Chen" appears again.
And this time.
It wasn't a text message, but a voice bar with a small red dot on the upper right corner.
Yan Ning was startled.
Because when she thought about the fact that Lu Chen had a group of friends around him, no matter what he posted, she suddenly felt ashamed.
But, there was only a second of hesitation between listening and not listening.
Yan Ning got out of bed and went to get the headphones.
Put on your headphones.
Open the voice bar.
That familiar, slightly casual, yet smiling voice reached Yan Ning's ears with incredible clarity:
“It starts with hearing your voice.”
Yan Ning was stunned for a moment.
Then, she reacted a little late.
What he meant was—
Hear her voice.
So, he was numb.
Yan Ning's ears turned completely red in an instant, and his heart beat uncontrollably fast.
Especially when she thought about the fact that he had a bunch of friends around him, who knew what kind of jokes they would make when they heard him say this to her...
She is thin-skinned.
He immediately pulled the quilt over his head, but it still wasn't enough. He was so ashamed that he wanted to take out the thickest quilt in the closet.
Another voice message popped up.
The software automatically plays the previous voice message as soon as it reaches the end.
So, Yan Ning, who was hiding in the quilt, heard Lu Chen's voice again. He said:
"Don't worry, I'm alone now."
Yan Ning: ...
She felt a wave of tension in her heart, neither relaxed nor tense.
She simply is.
By him.
Back and forth, pinching and rolling into a ball.
This person.
That’s totally true.
Even more excessive!!
She doesn't want to pay attention to him at all!!
Can follow closely.
The third voice message popped up again.
"I went too far. It's my fault. I admit it."
Article 4.
"So, don't be angry with me, and don't ignore me,"
Under the light blue quilt.
Yan Ning's lips relaxed slightly, her breathing becoming strained. She shifted her position slightly, lifting a corner of the covers. Fresh air rushed in, but as she moved, the earphones she was wearing on her right side were rubbed off by the bed.
Just then.
After Lu Chen paused for a moment, his chuckle was recorded on the radio, "Ning, Ning, sister, sister."
Yan Ning:!!!
The last four words of the title.
He spoke completely in a breathy voice, and his voice was sexier, deeper, and even more suggestive than ever before.
Through headphones.
Even like.
He whispered softly in her ear.
Moreover, she only wore one earphone, which made the situation even more fitting for him to whisper in her ear.
From the moment you hear the sound.
The numbness started from Yan Ning's left ear and spread to every part of his body in an instant.
simply……
It’s a life-threatening situation!
All right.
Now, it’s numb, and there’s another her…
-
On the schedule, travel plans with friends and family were realized one by one. During this period, time was tight and Yan Ning still had not met Lu Chen, so she just took time to chat with him every day.
Yan Ning and Xin Jing went to the neighboring Mingcheng to see the sea. The four-day and three-night trip was scheduled for June 20th.
Because their families were worried about the safety of the two girls going out, they booked a tour group.
On the day of departure, at the meeting point of the travel agency.
Yan Ning and Xin Jing arrived very early. After putting down their luggage and signing in, the two sisters happily chatted about their expectations for the trip and boarded the still empty bus.
Then, they all turned their eyes to the last row of the car.
because--
There was a tall and strong Fang Ze'an who was too conspicuous. He sat in the middle of the room carelessly. He put down the phone that seemed to be taking a selfie just now, looked over here, and waved happily:
"Hey! What a coincidence! Could it be that you guys have also booked with this travel agency?"
However, Fang Ze'an's tone was quite mechanical, and it was obvious that he was memorizing his lines.
Xin Jing held her forehead speechlessly.
at the same time.
In the middle of the rear seat of the carriage, another tall and slender figure stood up, either out of the blue or as expected.
Lu Chen wore a blue and white short-sleeved shirt with wavy patterns and distressed denim shorts. He looked casual, lazy, and very much on vacation.
The man smiled faintly, but his dark eyes stared straight at Yan Ning. One hand rested on the empty seat in the front row, and the other hand was raised, slowly waving towards him:
"Hi, what a coincidence."
But Yan Ning, the only one present who was unaware of this "chance encounter", swallowed his saliva and only tasted four words from Lu Chen's "what a coincidence" -
Got you.
