Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Ke and Candice stared at each other as if no one else was there——
Lu Ke just held Candice's waist and trapped her firmly in the harbor of his hands; Candice snuck into Lu Ke's windbreaker and could only vaguely look at it. With one head exposed, the two people obviously didn't say anything or deliberately show anything, but their world seemed like no one else could intervene. The tacit understanding that belonged to each other made the envy deep in their hearts begin. surge up.
More exciting than a hundred roses.
Then, Lu Ke raised his head again, looked at Carly and Du Chen with a smile, and then turned to look at Du Chen, "When I was chatting with Tangtang the day before yesterday, she mentioned that Phyllon had a cough recently. , is it better now?"
Philon is Duchenne's son, who is about to turn three years old.
Du Chen was slightly surprised, but she still replied politely, "Well, I'm much better today. The fever has gone away. I was still a little dependent on my mother when I came out in the morning. I'm already missing him now."
Lu Ke nodded gently, "Even us adults want to rely on others when we are sick, let alone children? Tangtang also said that we should go visit Feilon if he is not afraid of birth. "After speaking, Lu Ke raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender to express friendship, "I am a very, very friendly uncle, he should like me."
That naughty move made Du Chen laugh out loud, "Ha, I believe it. Tangtang has told us before that you are very popular with children. In your neighborhood, you are always very popular with children."
The ordinary conversations were completely trivial, without any gossip or explosive points, and were even boring to the point of drowsiness.
Many people among the onlookers began to roll their eyes, but a few people still understood the meaning:
First of all, Candice and Lu Ke mentioned these trivial things, and Lu Ke listened carefully and kept them in mind. It can be seen that Lu Ke attaches great importance to Candice, and the conversation between the two people is definitely not ignored. ; Secondly, Lu Ke is now trying to please Carly and Duchenne - they are both Candice's friends. It is because of their attention and affection that men go to such trouble to please their girlfriend's friends.
This information revealed inadvertently makes people more envious and jealous:
Because Lu Ke is not only a popular fried chicken in media reports, but also a rare and truly good man; and his relationship with Candice is indeed enviable. This really made my teeth itch with anger, and my stomach started to hurt.
Carly is a discerning person. She quickly noticed Lu Ke's intention, so she also joined Du Chen's team to help cooperate, and proactively asked, "How are you doing for Tangtang tonight?" Have you prepared any special surprises? Wait, it’s the second birthday gift, right?”
Candice's birthday was October 20th, last Sunday, exactly seven days ago.
But due to work, the two had to be separated. Candice was preparing for Fashion Week in London, while Lu Ke went to Nashville to prepare for an away game. There was no way for them to gather together to celebrate. However, the two have become accustomed to it, and the same is true for Lu Ke's birthday next month - Lu Ke will be preparing for home games in San Francisco, and Candice must complete the fashion week finale in New York. It is estimated that there is still no way to meet.
Fortunately, this is a small birthday, not so grand.
On Candice's birthday, the two talked on the phone, and the birthday gift prepared by Lu Ke arrived in London on time and was delivered to Candice's hands. Part of it is now worn on Candice's body——
It was a complete set of diamond jewelry, including necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings. Today, because she had to change clothes and jewelry for the catwalk, Candice only wore the drop-shaped earrings.
Now, Carly brought up such a topic again with a face full of inquiry, which made Lu Ke's smile stop at the corner of his mouth, showing a hint of helplessness.
This year's London Bowl is so special. It happens to be seven days after Candice's birthday. This also means that Lu Ke can openly meet Candice in London in the name of "business trip" and they can gather together to celebrate. . This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The original plan was for Lu Ke to arrive in London on the 21st. He only missed his birthday by one day. He planned to make a surprise appearance to celebrate Candice's birthday; but due to the alliance's promotional arrangements, and also because of Candice's During the rehearsal time for the catwalk show, the two people's schedules conflicted again, and in the end they were unable to make the trip.
Lu Ke thought that since he had missed the 20th, he might as well postpone it to the night of the London Bowl. After the game, he could also take advantage of his vacation time to celebrate Candice properly. Enjoy their world together.
"Carly, after you say it, it won't be called a surprise, okay?" Lu Ke shook his head helplessly.
But Carly smiled like a little fox and ignored Lu Ke's protest. "Since everything has been exposed, why not tell us now what the surprise event is?"
"This is our time. If you are curious, let Joshua plan it for you." Lu Ke retorted with a small tease, which immediately made Du Chen chuckle next to him. Li could only grind her teeth towards Lu Ke and express her strong protest.
Lu Ke didn't linger any longer and said half-jokingly, "Since we've already broken up, I'll take Tangtang and leave first. Let's talk about it next time we meet." That harmless joke made the atmosphere relaxed again. Get up, "By the way, I just came over and arranged two more cars to escort you home. If you have a flower protector tonight, just pretend I didn't say it..."
"Yes! Of course!" Carly immediately raised her hand.
Du Chen did not refuse, "Thank you."
Lu Ke smiled and nodded, "It would be great if I could help."
Then, Lu Ke lowered his head and took Candice's backpack from her hand - not a handbag, but a sports equipment bag similar to Lu Ke's, which contained all kinds of messy personal catwalk supplies, which was very heavy. ; But when it fell into Lu Ke's hands, it was so light that it had no weight, and was carried on his shoulders casually.
Very naturally, Lu Ke took Candice's left hand, clasped his fingers tightly, nodded to Carly and Du Chen, pulled Candice and turned around to leave.
Lu Ke was so abnormal tonight - as if he was holding his fingers tightly together at this moment, Lu Ke would never be like this before.
On the one hand, Lu Ke and Candice have relatively casual personalities. They have known each other for so many years, and their relationship patterns have been relatively fixed. Even if they have established a relationship, there has not been much change. Such intimate actions are somewhat deliberate; on the other hand, , Lu Ke and Candice are both relatively low-key. Apart from the Super Bowl scene at the beginning of the year, they rarely show their affection in high-profile ways in front of outsiders.
But tonight Lu Ke seemed to be... a very powerful boyfriend, with so many unfamiliar details that Candice was like a little woman who lost her ability to think and could only passively follow Lu Ke's every move, inexplicably... The deer began to bump into each other.
Raising her head, Candice looked at Lu Ke's back. Those tall and broad shoulders seemed to support a small sky, protecting her tightly, like a warm and safe harbor, making her want to be like this. Moored in the port for a long time, enjoy a moment of peace and comfort in life.
Lu Ke and Candice just strode away, leaving a silence in the tent.
There was no tit-for-tat, no direct confrontation, but Lu Ke's every move was like a loud slap in the face, giving the most powerful counterattack.
Those voices who were just gossiping were suddenly choked by their throats, and their interest waned. Their cheeks were so hot and painful from the slaps; their gray eyes began to tremble violently with embarrassment. He shifted his gaze in other directions uncomfortably.
The slowly spreading silence was like a slow poison, torturing their nerves bit by bit.
But some people still refused to admit defeat and complained stubbornly, "What a show." However, such sour words revealed their inner envy and jealousy more and more, and their eyes and expressions became dim, and then they all became dejected. Everyone turned around and no one said anything more.
Carly and Dout Chen felt refreshed, straightened their backs, took the catwalk on the catwalk, and left the scene arrogantly - even if someone said they were arrogant and staged, so what? They are just showing off! They just want to make those envious eyes turn green with envy!
…
As soon as he stepped outside, standing on the edge of the street, the biting cold air hit his face. His chaotic and dull brain suddenly woke up. Lu Ke took Candice's hand and quickly came to the side of the road, opened the car door, After escorting Candice into the car, he followed suit and sat in the back seat.
After waiting for the door to close, the driver started the engine and the car started to drive slowly.
From indoors to outdoors and back to indoors again, Candice's thoughts finally came back to her senses. Now that she thought carefully about everything that had just happened, her expression became playful and she looked at Lu Ke seriously, " To be honest, you just did it on purpose, right?"
"What?" Lu Ke still pretended not to understand and asked seriously.
But Candice could catch the smile slowly surging between Lu Ke's eyebrows. At this moment, she remembered her shy appearance just now, and her ears turned slightly red, "I can see it! You just were On purpose, it's all acting, right? Your acting skills are really terrible! If you go to Hollywood in the future, I will definitely stop you."
Lu Ke couldn't hold it back any longer, and the smile at the corner of his mouth rose slightly, and finally... he succeeded, which confirmed Candice's suspicion.
What a show.
