The night is as cold as water, and the sound of hunting wind is surrounding the two people, but the distance between them is widening little by little. The close and familiar memories that were once have now become sharp swords that hurt each other, vaguely Lu Ke could even see the gloom and pain in Julia's side face.
If it were before, Lu Ke would have stretched out his hand to take Julia into his arms, and then said unswervingly: Who dares to bully my Julia, let me go over and teach him a lesson; but now, Lu Ke But Ke couldn't, because he was the bad guy who was bullying Julia.
Lu Ke had never encountered such a situation and didn't know how to deal with it. He hesitated, whether he should turn around and leave and completely cut off the last trace of contact. But would this be too cold-blooded? ruthless?
"Haha! I have fooled you!" Julia suddenly raised her head, showing a big bright smile, with a cunning light in her eyes, and her whole body jumped up happily.
Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, his thoughts not keeping up with the rhythm at all - the girl's thoughts were really difficult to guess, and this was definitely not Lu Ke's strong point.
Julia caught Lu Ke's stunned look and opened her mouth in surprise, "You don't really believe it, do you? You don't really think I like you, do you? God, no wonder Logan calls you innocent every time. Growing up, I have seen you in every sloppy way, and I know all your ugly habits, and Logan often complains to me, how do you think I could like you?"
"Haha! Did I fool you this time?" Julia burst into laughter, her whole body filled with a look of gloating, "Today is your birthday, right? So I made a bet with Logan, look at me Can I fool you? Hahahaha, look at your expression just now, it’s so funny, so funny, I should really record it.”
Julia kept talking and couldn't stop talking, "But wait, what did you mean by your rejection just now? How dare you refuse my confession? What's going on?" Julia Leah clenched her right fist and waved it continuously in front of Lu Ke's eyes in protest.
Lu Ke felt a glimmer of understanding in his heart.
Although Julia hid it well, the slightly red eyes and the sadness deep in her eyes still revealed her thoughts. The front was true, and the back was false. In order to maintain the relationship between the two families, Julia pretended that nothing happened and concealed her vulnerability.
Lu Ke also felt sad silently, but he had made his position clear and Julia had received the signal. Therefore, he wanted to help Julia continue to perform in this play.
"I can only refuse. You know Logan will never show any mercy to the flies surrounding you." Lu Ke spread his hands and expressed his innocence, "Even if I want to nod in agreement, I can only Able to endure the pain and refuse silently." Lu Ke also showed a distressed look, as if he was performing a comedy.
Julia raised her chin and assumed a arrogant posture, as if to say: You know what’s going on.
Immediately afterwards, Julia took out a gift from behind her back, which was only the size of a palm. The thick mint green wrapping paper looked very high-quality, low-key but exquisite, and traces of careful preparation could be seen.
But at this time, Julia had no intention of showing off, and simply explained, "I wasn't going to give you a gift because your performance just now was really terrible, but... this is me and Logan. Think carefully about the gift you prepared. Based on your performance in today’s game, this is yours.”
After speaking, Julia handed the gift to Lu Ke.
"Hey, my mission is completed. I'm going to go home now, call Logan, and show off. Haha, you stupid goose." Julia laughed happily, not waiting for Lu Ke's reply. , quickly turned around and walked towards the door of her house, but she seemed too light and cheerful. She bounced home, but she revealed a bluff and embarrassment.
Lu Ke looked down at the gift box in his hand, let out a long breath, watched Julia go back, and walked towards the taxi parked on the roadside——
In fact, the other party arrived at the roadside on time and waited for about three or four minutes. However, he never rushed to press the horn or say hello, but waited patiently.
After Lu Ke got into the taxi, the other party said meaningfully, "What a wonderful night, huh?"
Lu Ke laughed dumbly, but had no intention of joking. He replied lightly, "I hope your night will be just as wonderful." Immediately afterwards, Lu Ke gave the address of the apartment, and the taxi slowly left the block.
Taking out his cell phone, Lu Ke made a call to Logan, "You'd better go home and check on Julia."
Logan now lives in his own apartment and only occasionally goes home on days off. "What? Julia? Isn't she in Los Angeles?"
The first sentence confirmed Lu Ke's guess: Logan had no idea that Julia was back, and the so-called gift had nothing to do with Logan. "She is at home now and has just returned. I am a little worried about her condition."
Logan was stunned for a moment. Although he has never been the type to react quickly, he still vaguely caught the clues. "Wait, you mean...she...she confessed? God!"
"You know?" Lu Ke understood instantly, but now is not the time to pursue this matter, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. Julia is more important now, so hurry up and take a look."
"Did you reject her?" Logan's voice suddenly rose, and swear words broke out.
This made Lu Ke chuckle helplessly, "Is this the point now?"
"...Damn Bambi! I'll settle the score with you tomorrow, how dare you refuse Julia!" Logan's own disagreement is one thing, his friendship with Lu Ke is another, and Julia is Another thing is that there is still a difference between the closeness and distance of things. "Bambi! Ahhh! Bambi!"
After he finished shouting, Logan hung up the phone directly. Lu Ke could even imagine Logan's anxious look on the other end of the phone. This made Lu Ke's worried thoughts return to his chest a little. He turned his head and looked out the car window. Unknowingly, the night had gradually become thicker. When I got up, the lights on the hills were gradually extinguished, and the noise around me finally fell silent.
It's been a long day.
When he returned home, Lu Ke unconsciously fumbled for the location of the key in his pocket, and then realized that there was a guest waiting for him at home. In the midst of his thoughts, he actually forgot about it, and the smile on his lips couldn't help but It rose again; so, Lu Ke found the spare key in the flowerpot next to him and gently opened the door to the house.
A warm air mixed with melodious and moving jazz flows down, and the lazy and clear voice of Norah-Jones echoes leisurely in the two-story building, as if it can be smelled The faint fragrance of jasmine in the air slowly surged in the warmth.
The curtains on the side facing the city are all opened, and you can clearly see the lights of thousands of houses in the entire city, which are slowly falling into sleep. This also outlines the bright moonlight and colorful starlight in the sky. , spilled down without reservation, and the mottled projection became a natural window grille.
There were no lights in the hall, only the projector's light was still bright.
Lu Ke walked into the room and could see Candice sitting cross-legged on the sofa. She was wearing a simple white shirt, revealing her long wheat-colored legs, lazily and casually holding a baby in her arms. He held a big pillow and stared intently at the large projection screen in front of him. However, it was not a video of Lu Ke's game, but a movie.
Slowly, Lu Ke's footsteps stopped like this, and he did not approach rashly. He stood quietly by the side, staring at Candice in front of him.
Although in the evening, the relationship between the two people had just made a breakthrough and things seemed to be no longer the same, Candice was not restrained at all and enjoyed the space and time alone generously, even though Lu Ke's return time was far away. It was much later than expected, and she was not anxious or panicked.
On the coffee table in front of you, there was a bowl of juicy cherries and a glass of fragrant red wine. Coupled with the movie being shown, it seemed like this was the most ordinary movie night.
But just this most ordinary and ordinary scene made Lu Ke feel warm in his heart, as if he had just eaten chocolate, and the joy and joy quietly bloomed at the corners of his mouth.
It turns out that this is the feeling of belonging in the heart, quiet, light, and warm, but like legs on the clouds, flying softly and freely. Especially after just experiencing Julia's confession, his mood was even more subtle now. Lu Ke did not step forward rashly, but just stood there quietly.
At this time, Candice raised her hands and rolled up her long silky hair loosely, revealing the soft arc of the back of her neck, revealing a touch of gentleness and elegance, and then picked up the shark on the coffee table. Clip, ready to clip all her hair, when her peripheral vision caught the figure standing next to her, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ah!"
After realizing that it was Lu Ke, Candice's shoulders slumped, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and then rolled her eyes without any concealment, "Bambi! Do you know, this is the best way to do it?" frightening."
Lu Ke stood there with a smile on his face, "I thought you were the bravest and enjoyed watching horror movies at midnight. Didn't you expect that you would be scared by this?"
"Otherwise, why don't you come and give it a try?" The cheerful charm was still the same as before, without any change. As she spoke, the hair she had just pulled up fell down again. Then she bit the shark clip and pulled up her hair again. , quickly and neatly use shark clips to tuck your hair.
Unintentionally, Candice noticed that Lu Ke's eyes were always fixed on her, which made her raise her chin and cast a confused look, "What's wrong?"
Lu Ke said seriously, "Have I told you before? You are really beautiful."
