Qiao Chu and Fu Zhen sat in the back seat of the car, speechless for a moment, and silence gradually spread.
Qiao Chu secretly glanced at Fu Zhen beside him, and saw that he looked like he was thinking about something, so he was the first to break the silence: "Senior Fu...um...are you okay today?"
Fu Zhen turned around and asked, "What do you think happened to me?"
Qiao Chu thought for a moment, "I think you're acting weird today..."
"Oh? What's strange about that?"
Fu Zhen asked while giving Qiao Chu a faint smile.
Fortunately, after half a day of training, Qiao Chu has become somewhat immune to his smile. She stared at his face and said bluntly: "You keep laughing, which is really abnormal. Your laughter makes me feel creepy."
Fu Zhen seemed like a different person today, but how could a person change so much suddenly? Qiao Chu stared at Fu Zhen's face suspiciously, observing him carefully to find any flaws. However, she looked at him for a long time and found no difference except that he seemed more handsome than before.
Could it be that I have traveled through time? Or like what is described in the novels about cultivating immortals... was possessed by someone else? still……
"Senior Fu, are you sick? Facial nerve disorder or something, I don't know the specific name, but I seem to have heard of this disease. The patient can't control his facial expression, sometimes cold, sometimes sunny, sometimes gentle... I think this is very similar to your symptoms. Why don't you go see a doctor... If you are sick, it is better to treat it early and recover early, don't delay..."
Qiao Chu was still chattering about Fu Zhen going to see a doctor and not being afraid to see a doctor. The smile that had been on Fu Zhen's face for a long time finally disappeared, and was replaced by stiffness. As Qiao Chu spoke more and more and became more excited, his face finally turned dark.
Fu Zhen couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted Qiao Chu, gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you think I'm...sick?"
Only then did Qiao Chu notice that his face had changed, from sunny to cloudy, and it seemed that a storm was brewing. She couldn't help but feel a little scared, and her voice became much softer, "Isn't it...?"
Fu Zhen never expected that one day he would experience the feeling of being speechless. For the first time in his smooth life, he encountered a Waterloo. Yesterday he downloaded a bunch of “Secrets to Chasing a Girlfriend”, “Depend on Me to Get Rid of Being Single”, “May There Be No More Single Dogs in the World”, “From School Uniforms to Wedding Dresses”, all kinds of techniques to chase girls, and also read a few very popular romance novels, cramming for a whole day, and yet he was considered... sick!
He decided that the first thing he would do when he got home was to delete all the messy and useless things in his computer!
Fu Zhen was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he said faintly: "Don't you girls like this? Handsome and tall, outstanding, gentle and considerate, with a bright smile..."
These were the qualities he had figured out after a whole day of research yesterday - the qualities that boys who are most popular with girls right now should possess. He compared himself and felt that except for being gentle and considerate and having a bright smile, he seemed to meet all the requirements.
However, as he was talking, a person who was more suitable than him suddenly emerged in his mind - Jiang Yuzhou. Thinking that the boy had always liked Qiao Chu and secretly wanted to pursue her, Fu Zhen felt a strong sense of crisis and became even more depressed.
He must beat that guy! But……
This was the first time in his life that he tried to change himself, but he failed unexpectedly, and it was a... miserable failure!
After hearing what he said, Qiao Chu couldn't help laughing. She suppressed the smile on her lips and said to Fu Zhen, "Yes, Senior Fu, a bright smile does make it easier for girls to like you. However, you should give up. You are definitely not that type."
Seeing Fu Zhen's eyes dim, she quickly added: "But, your type is more popular."
"real?"
Qiao Chu nodded vigorously: "Haven't you seen how crazy those girls in school are about you? You are the number one male idol in our school."
She was surprised that the stunning Fu Zhen would doubt her own charm.
Fu Zhen looked at Qiao Chu deeply and said seriously, "But they are not you."
Falling in love with someone will make you feel insecure for the first time in your life, even if he is as outstanding as you are.
Fu Zhen has always known that he is very popular. Since kindergarten, there have been girls constantly surrounding him, which really annoys him. In order to intimidate and scare off those crazy admirers, he has no choice but to put on a cold face. Over time, he developed a cold and aloof personality.
Because his life was constantly interrupted, he had never had a good impression of clingy girls since he was a child, and meeting Qiao Chu was completely an accident. At the beginning, he classified her as a "girl who is not a fan of flowers". As they got to know each other more, he felt that she was the "girl who can chat with you". Later, Jiang Yuzhou fell in love with her. She kept talking about her in his ears every day, and she always mentioned Qiao Chu. Gradually, more and more stories about her were stuffed into his ears. He got to know her more and more, and at the same time, he became curious and began to pay attention to her unconsciously.
As they spent more and more time together, he was gradually attracted to her and could no longer take his eyes off her. This girl is so different. She is not as impetuous and vain as other girls. She is mature and steady beyond her age. She is insightful and experienced. It is easy to get along with her without any burden. This is something Fu Zhen cannot feel in other girls of the same age.
Qiao Chu was really outstanding and could always bring him new surprises. Her light was so dazzling that it shone into his heart without him realizing it.
Fu Zhen couldn't remember when, where, or what happened when he first fell in love with Qiao Chu, but this separation of more than half a month made him feel the pain of missing her for the first time...
Love is like a double net, and love is like a chain. When he came to his senses, he was already firmly trapped...
He is a decisive man. Once he likes a woman, he likes her. The next step is to chase her and make her his!
However, he seems to have had a bad start...
This was his first time pursuing a girl, and he had no experience. Those secrets seemed to be of no use. After thinking it over, he decided not to use those roundabout tactics and just go straight for it.
"So... do you like my type?"
There was no change in his tone, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear the nervousness in it. All the muscles in his body were tense. He didn't even dare to breathe, holding his breath and waiting for Qiao Chu's answer.
"Ah?" Qiao Chu didn't expect him to ask this question. She looked at his extremely serious expression, her face flushed, and she quickly lowered her head to avoid his gaze. Her heart was also panicked and she lost her rhythm.
“I…I…”
"Master, we're here."
Just when Qiao Chu didn't know how to answer, the driver rescued her in time. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly left this space that made her feel stressed, and hurriedly opened the car door and got out.
"Central Mall?"
Qiao Chu looked at the building in front of her with confusion, not understanding why Fu Zhen brought her here. She turned her puzzled eyes to him and asked silently.
"See a movie."
"Watch a movie? What movie?" Qiao Chu's face was full of question marks.
Fu Zhen did not answer, but took Qiao Chu directly to the cinema on the top floor of the central shopping mall.
It is Chinese New Year now, and the cinema is decorated with lights everywhere. The walls are covered with couplets and blessing characters, and lanterns are hung on the ceiling. It is full of the festive atmosphere, and the whole hall is illuminated in red. It's a rare annual holiday and no one wants to stay at home, so quite a few people come to watch movies. The ticket office and store entrances are full of people, it's bustling and lively.
"Wait for me here. I'll go get the ticket first."
Fu Zhen placed Qiao Chu in a place with fewer people and turned to go to the ticket office. He seemed to be prepared. Not long after, he came back with two movie tickets and stuffed a bucket of fragrant popcorn into Qiao Chu's hands.
There are probably few girls who can resist popcorn, right? The sweet taste and crispy texture tempted Qiao Chu so much that he couldn't help but take one and put it in his mouth.
Fu Zhen looked at her greedy expression, a smile flashed in his eyes, "Come on, let's go in first, the movie is about to start."
Qiao Chu followed Fu Zhen into the theater in a daze. Even after they sat down, she didn't know why they were going to watch a movie or what movie they were going to watch...
After waiting for a while, the lights in the theater went out, and everything fell into darkness except the big screen.
Qiao Chu looked at the familiar male and female protagonists on the big screen, feeling a lot of emotions...
It turned out to be "Twilight" - her favorite movie ever.
Falling in love with a man like Edward should be every girl's dream. He is smart, agile and considerate. In the movie, he pushed open the door of the cafeteria and made his first appearance with his snow-white skin, deep features, and melancholy eyes... He also amazed the young Qiao Chu. The beautiful and romantic love between him and Bella also satisfied all her fantasies about love.
"Bella, before you, my life was like a moonless night..."
It touched thousands of men and women, making this movie a must-see classic love movie for men and women in love. Qiao Chu now understood why all the people who entered the theater were in pairs...
This year, "Twilight" was just released. The movie became an instant hit in China as soon as it was shown. Young couples rushed to the cinema, and some even watched it several times without getting tired of it. Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Twilight Girl later cheated on her husband and Twilight Boy also gained weight...
Qiao Chu, who had a God's perspective, frowned and looked at the screen in front of her with a troubled look. Her mind was flooded with thoughts of "cheating" and "getting fat". She could no longer watch the movie with a relaxed attitude.
At this time, ignorance is actually a kind of happiness. Except for Qiao Chu, all the other female creatures in the theater were fascinated by Edward's handsome appearance and agile skills, and couldn't help but exclaimed——
"Oh my god, isn't this so handsome?"
"He is so handsome that he has no friends. His eyes are so deep..."
"Isn't this too perfect? It turns out that this kind of guy can only appear in movies."
Fu Zhen listened to the whispers beside him and suddenly felt a little regretful. He found this movie on the Internet. It was said to be the most popular movie among girls nowadays and an unbeatable weapon for pursuing girls. However, when he looked at the reactions of the girls around him, he felt something was wrong. Why were they all praising the male lead? It seems like all the girls here are in love with Edward from the movie?
He turned to look at Qiao Chu, and saw that her expression was very calm. She didn't look obsessed like the other girls, so he immediately felt relieved.
Qiao Chu watched the entire movie expressionlessly and ate a bucket of popcorn. It was not until the two of them walked out of the theater that he could not help but ask Fu Zhen, "Senior Fu, why did you suddenly bring me to the movies on New Year's Day?"
Fu Zhen said as if it was a matter of course, pointing to the men and women who were walking out of the theater together, "Who said we can't watch movies during the Chinese New Year? Aren't they all here to watch a movie?"
"They are..." Qiao Chu didn't say the word "couple". The men and women who can come out to watch a romantic movie together on the third day of the Lunar New Year are either couples or lovers. There shouldn't be an ordinary senior-junior relationship like theirs, right?
Fu Zhen was not right today. She subconsciously didn't want to think about the meaning behind his abnormal behavior. She just wanted to escape.
"Senior Fu, the movie is over, and I have to go home too."
"Wait a minute, do one more thing with me."
"What's the matter?" Qiao Chu looked up and asked. I don't understand what's so urgent? Why does it have to be done today?
Fu Zhen did not answer. He took Qiao Chu directly into the elevator and came to the second floor of the central shopping mall, where clothes, shoes and hats were sold. They walked around and finally stopped at a brand store that specialized in selling scarves.
Qiao Chu looked at the neatly stacked scarves on the shelf in front of her, confused, not understanding why Fu Zhen brought her here.
Fu Zhen looked a little uncomfortable, "I suddenly feel cold and want to buy a scarf. Can you help me pick one?"
What? Qiao Chu looked at the long windbreaker on him with a frown on his face.
Are you still cold even though you’re wearing so many clothes? Besides, what’s the point of buying a scarf if you feel cold? Shouldn't I buy a coat?
Forget it, she couldn’t understand her idol’s train of thought. Finally, under Fu Zhen’s urging gaze, Qiao Chu chose a light gray scarf for him. This scarf looks clean and soft, very textured, and very consistent with Fu Zhen's temperament.
She picked up the scarf and handed it to him, "Here's this one. I think it suits you."
Fu Zhen didn't reach out to take it. He looked at Qiao Chu and said, "Please help me put it on."
“……”What’s wrong!
Qiao Chu had no choice but to unfold the scarf, take a step forward, and wrap it around his neck.
They were very close, so close that Qiao Chu could feel his breath, so close that she could see the soft light in his eyes...
She was startled, and quickly took a step back, lowered her head and said, "Okay."
Fu Zhen looked at the scarf around his neck and felt very satisfied. He said to Qiao Chu, "You picked this scarf and you helped me put it on. I'll consider it as a gift from you."
After saying that, without waiting for Qiao Chu to react, he walked to the cashier with his long legs and paid neatly.
After leaving the store, Qiao Chu fell into silence. If she still doesn't understand the reason behind Fu Zhen's abnormal behavior and a series of weird actions throughout the day, then she would have lived two lifetimes in vain.
How could Fu Zhen fall in love with her?
Before today, she couldn't even imagine it. In her eyes, he has always been high and mighty, looking down on others, while she is just a small person. Their only interaction is the relationship between senior and junior, which is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.
She had experienced love affairs in her previous life and it was a terrible experience. So since her rebirth in this life, she has put all her energy into studying and has never thought about this aspect.
Unexpectedly... her heart was filled with panic and helplessness.
"What's wrong?" Fu Zhen asked softly when he saw that she kept her head down and remained silent.
Qiao Chu thought about it and decided to be decisive. She looked up at Fu Zhen and asked bluntly, "Senior Fu, do you... like me?"
"Yes." Fu Zhen nodded without hesitation, "I thought I had made it obvious enough."
"But... isn't this too sudden?" She was completely unprepared.
Fu Zhen looked down at Qiao Chu, his tone was more gentle than ever before, "I don't think it's sudden. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, you are the only girl who made me break my principles. For you, I fought with others for the first time, wanted to change myself for the first time, read a romance novel for the first time, watched a love movie for the first time, tasted the taste of missing for the first time, and dreamed for the first time... In short, you made me become unlike myself."
Qiao Chu's cheeks blushed, like a bright red apple, "You...how could you like me?"
There are so many girls surrounding Fu Zhen every day, but he always looks cold. She thought he has no sense of love.
"I can't really explain why I fell in love with you, or what I like about you specifically. I only know that during the days we were apart during the winter vacation, I thought of you every day, my mind was full of you, and I even... dreamed about you. That's why I hurried back, and today I asked you out under the pretext of being your grandpa, just to... see you..."
Fu Zhen sighed and continued, "I finally understand the meaning of this sentence. "
Then, he took a step forward, held Qiao Chu's shoulders with his left hand, and gently lifted her chin with his right hand so that she could see the seriousness on his face.
He looked straight into her eyes and said firmly, "Xiao Qiao, I like you. Stay with me, okay?"
His voice was deep and magnetic, and seemed to have a hint of seduction. It was less cold than usual and more tender and unfamiliar. It was like a pair of big hands, gently brushing past my ears, making it impossible to refuse...
