do you like me?
When Shen Lan's question really came to light, Xu Zhe suddenly realized that he really liked the short-haired girl in front of him. But it's not just her that I like.
This put him into an incomprehensible tangle.
It's like a card drawing game. There are three characters you want to draw, but you only have one chance to draw a card. So what to do?
Procrastination is most likely to occur when it is difficult to make a choice.
When Xu Zhe's eyes began to struggle and his brows furrowed slightly, Shen Lan, who was staring at him, also noticed it and couldn't help but feel panicked.
Doesn't he like himself enough?
He doesn't want to choose between several girls?
He doesn’t want to fall in love yet?
The girl didn't know why he struggled and hesitated. She only knew that she couldn't afford the result of him saying 'no'. Just imagining that possibility made her feel congested in her chest and hard to breathe.
The courage that I had finally gathered today suddenly dissipated when I saw him frowning.
Shen Lan quickly said: "It's okay if you don't want to say it..."
The senior sister, who had always been arrogant, now showed an expression of fear and uneasiness. That anxious look made Xu Zhe feel a little distressed.
So he subconsciously said: "I like it, I really like you."
Shen Lan was stunned immediately.
And Xu Zhe doesn't have time to think about what to do with the other two girls now. All he cares about at this time is not to hurt the person in front of him.
Shen Lan whispered: "I like you too. Since we both like each other, why not..."
"Aren't you going to fall in love?" Xu Zhe gently rubbed the tip of his nose, "Because I'm really not ready. My life plan has not yet reached the love part."
Shen Lan thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Like a single thread?"
Xu Zhe: "Yes, put it in order, do what you do first and then what you do, and have a clear plan. In my plan, I have to start a business to a certain extent first, and then consider falling in love."
So Shen Lan recalled the entrepreneurial blueprint that Xu Zhe described to her in Nanjiao Park that year. Indeed, such a complicated plan will definitely require a lot of time and energy to operate.
Shen Lan murmured: "That's right. Just the game I made needs to be operated before it goes online. If something goes wrong and the project is abandoned halfway, it will be a huge loss..."
Xu Zhe nodded.
In fact, he knows that this kind of single-player buyout small game does not require too much effort to operate. If it is not possible, he can hire a full-time operator, and now he can afford it - but of course he will not have such extra money. explain.
He just subconsciously wanted to push back and not face that annoying multiple-choice question.
The girl suddenly asked again: "If you reach a stage in your process where you want to fall in love, will you come to me?"
Xu Zhe said firmly: "I will definitely come to you first, as long as you agree."
Anyway, he was with Shen Lan now, and neither Xiao Zizi nor Feifei could hear him, so of course he had to say this. Moreover, he feels that if he wants to fall in love, he must have deep spiritual communication, and a smart senior with more scientific thinking may be more suitable for him.
Shen Lan couldn't help laughing.
Xu Zhe glanced down. His hand was still held by her, with no intention of letting go.
Shen Lan suddenly whispered: "What kind of relationship do we have now? We are not lovers yet, but they are different from ordinary friends. It is not right to say that we are siblings..."
Xu Zhe thought for a moment and answered decisively: "The relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend by appointment."
Shen Lan couldn't help but be startled: "Can I make an appointment?"
Xu Zhe smiled: "Yes."
Shen Lan couldn't help but ask again: "Is there a time limit for this reservation? The game also needs to set a release date. Even if it is delayed or postponed, at least declare a time point first."
"Then when I go to college. We will be separated for the next two years. I will stay here and you will go to the Magic City. The distance is too far..."
Speaking of this, Xu Zhe suddenly remembered Associate Professor Zou's suggestion when he got the recommendation.
Should I go to college early?
His answer at the time was no. But now that I think about it, if I agree, I might be able to enroll at the same time as Shen Lan next year, and then live a two-person world with her in a top university...
Imagining that scene, Xu Zhe found that his feelings were a bit complicated. There is yearning, but also some regrets.
He couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Lan asked: "What's wrong?"
Xu Zhe shook his head: "Nothing."
He just wanted to sigh that he was really good at it. Studying and playing games are okay, but when it comes to love, it's like tangled cotton threads that can no longer be sorted out.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. At this time, looking out from the cockpit, nothing could be seen clearly. Countless water droplets fell on the glass, distorting the view.
The two sat there holding hands and were silent for a long time.
In their ears, apart from each other's breathing, there was only the sound of rain.
Shen Lan suddenly asked: "We don't have umbrellas, what will we do later?"
Xu Zhe: "There should be someone selling umbrellas in the amusement park... It doesn't matter. Even if we can't buy an umbrella, we can just get caught in the rain and take the car back."
"Okay, it's up to you."
Shen Lan said this and leaned lightly on his shoulder.
————
Fortunately, there was indeed someone selling umbrellas at the exit under the Ferris wheel. Although the umbrella was of poor quality and twice as expensive, it didn't matter to Xu Zhe.
But unfortunately, after walking for a while in the rain with an umbrella, he realized that the wind was blowing today. The wind wasn't very strong, but it was enough to blow the raindrops onto people.
Even if you have an umbrella, it can only keep your upper body from getting wet.
Therefore, when Xu Zhe and Shen Lan got into the taxi, there was no dry place below their waists, and their shoes were already soaked, which was very uncomfortable.
The two sat in the back seat of the car together.
Xu Zhe looked at the car window and felt that his mood was more complicated than the raindrops on the glass.
Although it was about 'booking a boyfriend and girlfriend', from the Ferris wheel to the taxi, whenever she could hold hands, Shen Lan always held his hand tightly, with their fingers intertwined. Anyone who looks at it will feel that these two young men and women must be true lovers.
He turned his face and glanced quietly again.
Shen Lan held his hand with one hand and held the mobile phone in the other hand, staring down at the screen of the mobile phone. That mobile phone was given to her by herself today, and she was having fun at the moment.
She looked really happy - the corners of her mouth were turned up, and there was an uncontrollable smile in her eyes.
Today's progress obviously makes Shen Lan very satisfied.
Seeing her like this, Xu Zhe was also slightly relieved. No matter what happens in the future, at least for now, Xu Zhe hopes to see her happy.
