"Miss Zhao?"
When Lu Wenming's consciousness returned, he heard the sound of water waves and felt the gentle rocking of the ship's hull. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhao Qingxue sitting beside him.
Looking up, I realized that I was on a sightseeing boat.
There were not many people on the boat, but there were many passengers. They were sitting on the chairs here. He was lying down and Zhao Qingxue was sitting, reading with a book in his hand.
Looking at it from this angle...
Miss Zhao has a very good figure.
Snapped!
The spine of the book was printed on her forehead, and she said helplessly: "Where are you looking?"
"Ahem..."
Lu Wenming rubbed his forehead in embarrassment and started to work. Looking at the width of the river and the scenery on the shore, he asked in confusion: "How did we get on the boat?"
"Before I..."
Lu Wenming recalled that when he found that he seemed to be in a service area, he fell into a coma just as he was about to get off the car? It seemed like I was hit on the back of my neck...
"I asked Liu Qing to help."
"Professor Wang and the others will encounter some troubles on the way, so I will take you another route and send you home first."
"When we went to the Three Gorges, you said the scenery was nice by boat."
"Although we have left the Three Gorges, it is really good to travel around the Yangtze River."
Zhao Qingxue pressed her hands on the book, looked at the river scene and said with admiration. The river breeze blew, a few strands of hair floated up, and even scratched Lu Wenming's cheek. The tickling feeling penetrated into her heart...
Questions about the White Lotus Sect and Professor Wang's life and death suddenly disappeared from my mind.
Maybe, it's not important.
"Yes, the river view is very good." The two of them sat calmly, not knowing what to talk about. Perhaps, there was no need to talk about anything in particular. This moment of silence was very comfortable.
"Lu Wenming."
"Um?"
"You're such a fool."
Lu Wenming scratched his head, not knowing how to reply to her, so he heard her say again: "So, practice hard when you go back and avoid causing trouble. Do you hear me?"
"Um……"
Next, the two of them didn't talk about any metaphysical matters.
Zhao Qingxue just asked curiously: "When I went to Xiangjiang University to find you, why were you so resistant to women at that time?"
"..."
Lu Wenming brought some fruit out of the self-service kitchen on the ship, biting into apple chunks and said: "I don't know how to chase girls. When I was in high school, I would get up ten minutes early every morning to bring breakfast to the girl at the front desk, just so that she could get there. There is breakfast in the classroom.”
"Chat with her and go shopping with her."
"You say they are friends? It seems more than that. Say you like them? I don't know if that counts."
"Anyway, when I went to college, one day she suddenly said she had a boyfriend."
"That's it."
He seemed to be talking about unrelated things, but his mood was very low, which showed that whether he liked it or not, he was indeed disappointed.
Zhao Qingxue stared at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Do you know what liking means?"
"Isn't it just that I like..."
Lu Wenming was about to say something, but fell silent again. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't know. Although I don't want to admit it, I do have emotional deficiencies."
"I don't know when it started?"
"Can't remember clearly."
"In short, when I was a child, my memory and my mother told me that I cared about people very much and was very close to my family. But I don't know when I started to lose emotion and find it difficult to empathize with others. ”
"This is especially true when it comes to love."
"I long to be like my peers, but it's more of an imitation, as if I'm not a human being, imitating human behavior and emotions."
"so."
"Even if I have some abilities and outstanding parts that attract girls who are willing to accompany me, they won't get any emotional touch from me. That's why it's like that, right?"
"The reason why I like to study those grand propositions and human epics, and I admire the teachers."
"It's because of such grand emotions that I can sympathize with him."
Although Zhao Qingxue guessed it, he was still a little shocked at this time. He also rescued Li Keer on the mountain. It was not at all because of how cute Li Keer was and how much he liked her.
Simply because she was a little girl and a weakling.
He saves people not because he wants to save people, but more because he saves his own principles and is willing to take risks that cost his life...
"Do you think I'm a little hypocritical?"
Seeing her reminiscing eyes and subtle expression, Lu Wenming smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, took out a bottle of beer from the self-service refrigerator, opened it, and drank.
This was the first time he had a heart-to-heart relationship with someone since he learned about his anomaly.
He knows very well that he is not that great and selfless, and his behavior is more to prove that he is still a flesh and blood person...
Zhao Qingxue sat aside.
She grabbed the beer from his hand and drank it straight away, which shocked him.
"If this is hypocrisy, it would be great if there were more people like this in the world. They are obviously fools who are at the bottom of the abyss, but they are still saving others."
"You act so strong, who are you waiting for to save you?"
"Leaving your front desk in high school?"
Lu Wenming didn't know how to refute, but he pointed at the beer in her hand and said, "I, I drank it."
"Ah, it's so annoying!"
She took a sip, but did not swallow it. Then Lu Wenming felt the warmth and softness that he had never felt before. With the cold wine, he did not regain consciousness for a while.
for a long time.
The red lips parted, and some wine beads rolled down from her chin. He stared blankly at her pretty face, forgetting to breathe, and saw her wiping the wine from the corner of her mouth with the back of her white hand.
Then she raised her head to drink again, and her unrestrained spirit made her figure reflect directly into the depths of his heart.
"Zhao..."
"In the dream, you saved me once, so I will save you once. Before getting off the ship, I was your girlfriend."
"..."
His expression returned from shock to calmness, and then became full of complexity. He asked: "Just...repaying a favor?"
"Dislike it? If Li Ke'er is right, he might be willing to be your girlfriend forever."
"No……"
Lu Wenming smiled bitterly and asked, "Can I drink?"
"Are you asking about your girlfriend?"
"That's right..."
"Well, you can do it today."
"Thank you..."
With a wry smile, Lu Wenming took a few cans of wine and brought back the barbecue. He thought about it and said, "Can you make a somewhat excessive request?"
"reject."
"...Not the sesame kind."
"Then tell me."
"Why can't we continue after getting off the boat?"
After Zhao Qingxue was silent for a while, she smiled and said, "You don't understand anything. It's for your own good that I reject you. Do you know who you are in love with?"
"I don't know, but it doesn't matter."
"Ha...fool."
