Chapter 98: Shocking, Ethereal, and Beautiful
"Okay, but you have to give me some clues. Only then I know where the problem lies and I can apologize to you."
Fu Jingyou always has a smiling face. He is handsome and exudes a wild and fierce aura. But at the same time, he does not have the air of being eager for quick success and instant benefits. Instead, he is endowed with purity and simplicity by this land.
The evening wind lifted the messy hair on his forehead. Lu Miao looked at him briefly and suddenly felt a little reluctant to continue bullying him.
In the end, it was Fu Jingyou who spoke first to break the silence:
"Are you going to Yanji today too?"
"Um."
"When I came back, I heard there was a recruitment for an art troupe there at noon. Did you join?"
Lu Miao paused, turned to look at Fu Jingyou, and said nothing.
Fu Jingyou continued, "You have been chosen."
This time it wasn't a question, but a determination.
Fu Jingyou undoubtedly heard the news about the Yanji Art Troupe when he turned back.
Those people were talking about how pretty and energetic the chosen girl was, and even how unique the hat she wore was. Without thinking too much, the first person that came to Fu Jingyou's mind was Lu Miao.
She was beautiful, and he had knitted her hat...
Although it was just a guess at first, when Fu Jingyou heard Lu Miao say that he had been to Yanji, he was basically convinced.
Lu Miao frowned and said nothing. Fu Jingyou was always attentive, but this time he didn't notice her emotions and continued talking to himself:
"It's good to be chosen..."
"I heard the art troupe pays well and they eat commercial grain... You always have trouble adapting to farm work, but once you join the art troupe, you won't have to worry about that anymore."
“That’s a good thing.”
Fu Jingyou thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed a good thing. He was happy for Lu Miao from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't realize that he was the only one talking for a while, and turned his head to ask Lu Miao: "Have you agreed? When are you going?"
Lu Miao's brows furrowed, his expression was cold, and his tone was stiff:
"I'm not going!"
Fu Jingyou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
"I'm not going, so why bother asking so many questions?"
Lu Miao threw the gardenia in his hand to Fu Jingyou, stood up suddenly, and walked away.
Lu Miao's temper came without any warning. Fu Jingyou realized belatedly that she was in a bad mood. He caught the flowers with trembling hands, then stood up and was about to chase her, but before he took a step, he froze in place.
The setting sun's rays filled Fu Jingyou's entire face, and his eyes flashed as he saw the most stunning and shocking scene in his life.
What does that picture look like?
The colorful sunset illuminated half the sky. The young girl had her beautiful long hair tied up high on top of her head. She faced the sunset and had her back to him. She stood on tiptoe, slowly stretched her arms, and slightly bent over as if to lift the hem of her skirt.
Then, with every turn, every leg lift, every stretch of arms, her posture was graceful and light, like the wind walking among the sunshine and green leaves...
Fu Jingyou's deep eyes reflected the silhouette of Lu Miao under the sunset glow, but his mind was inexplicably reminded of the white geese he had seen in the reed marshes by the lake when he was a child...
Elegant, ethereal, beautiful, free...
At this moment, Fu Jingyou felt that none of the words he could think of could fully describe Lu Miao.
Fu Jingyou was still in shock from being amazed and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, but Lu Miao had already finished the whole dance and walked slowly towards him with red eyes.
"Isn't it just a dance? Who doesn't know how to do it?"
When she was surrounded by people in Yanji, she didn't feel scared or wronged, but for some reason, when Fu Jingyou frequently asked her when she would go to the art troupe and why she didn't go, she felt very wronged.
"What?"
Fu Jingyouling's lips opened and closed, his expression changed from shock to stunned. Lu Miao's eyes became even mistier, and he continued to sob fiercely:
"But what if it happens? Do you think he's really from the art troupe? He wants me to sing and dance with a man to relieve my depression!"
"Do you want me to go? Do you want me to go?"
Lu Miao poked Fu Jingyou in the chest and asked one question after another.
Fu Jingyou slowly retreated until his back was against a tree and he stopped only when he had nowhere to retreat.
At that time, Lu Miao also roared out the last words:
"Is it because I usually cause you trouble and hold you back? That's why you're happy to see others treat me this way or that?"
"That's not what I meant!"
From being confused at first to understanding everything, Fu Jingyou understood Lu Miao's grievance and anger, and took the initiative to react before Lu Miao pulled away with red eyes.
He took Lu Miao's hand and brought her back.
The inertial impact and force caused Lu Miao to fall heavily into his arms.
"Go away, let me go!"
Lu Miao was on the verge of rage and struggled hard.
"I didn't know it was like that. I didn't mean it that way and I definitely wouldn't mean it that way!"
A big palm brushed across Lu Miao's head, and Fu Jingyou hugged him tightly in his arms.
He knew that his actions were presumptuous, but he was afraid that Lu Miao would not listen to his explanation and would just leave without caring about the consequences, so he did not dare to let go.
"I just, I just don't want to see you suffer so much."
"I apologize to you, I'm sorry..."
"Don't be angry, okay?"
Lu Miao's chest was heaving violently. He didn't know if it was because he was suffocated or because of the pressure of emotions, but he felt a little breathless.
After struggling for a long time, half of his face was exposed. The hot breath from Lu Miao's chest sprayed on Fu Jingyou's ear, and he greedily breathed in the fresh air.
After a few deep breaths, Lu Miao gradually calmed down, "Let me go!"
Her voice was no longer tearful and she looked much calmer. Fu Jingyou loosened his arms, but didn't dare to let go completely. "Not angry anymore?"
There were tears in Lu Miao's eyes, and her body was almost completely pressed against Fu Jingyou's. The scene was so ambiguous.
Lu Miao's face turned pale and blue, and then suddenly turned red, "Shameless!"
She awkwardly pushed Fu Jingyou away, lowered her body, hugged her knees with her hands, and sat back in her previous position while humming softly.
Fu Jingyou followed closely behind, sitting leaning to one side.
Lu Miao didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything either. He just sat there and looked at her intently.
Lu Miao couldn't hold back anymore after being stared at by him. His face was unhappy and collapsed in the last second, but in the next second, he glared at him with wide eyes:
"Look, look, and look more!"
Like an irritated rabbit, she snatched back the gardenia that she had just thrown back.
A nice bunch of gardenias were thrown around and many of the petals became wrinkled and yellow.
Lu Miao felt distressed and regretful, and inexplicably had the urge to cry.
Fu Jingyou looked at her with an indulgent smile and comforted her at the right time:
"If you like, I'll bring them to you when you go to Yanji in the future."
Lu Miao hummed softly and didn't respond.
Fu Jingyou was not annoyed. Even though he knew she was no longer angry, he did not forget to apologize again when she was calm:
"Duke Wen...I really don't know about that. If I knew, I would never say that."
