The speeches and deafening applause of the school leaders at the dinner came to an end. Jiang Chen dragged his slightly drunk body to his car, Maybach S600, and suddenly became stunned after taking out the key.

Damn, how should I drive after drinking?

This is troublesome.

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly on his face. Although his metabolic ability is beyond ordinary people and he sobers up quickly, he is not able to force alcohol out of his body in an instant like a master in a martial arts drama. The traffic police will not believe anything like "I'm not drunk".

After hesitating for a while whether to "take a gamble", he finally sighed.

I took out the phone from my pocket, and slid my fingers across the screen, but a wry smile appeared on my face.

It's day, who should I call?

Xia Shiyu had just returned, and it seemed a bit bad to call her back.

Liu Yao?

When he saw the name, Jiang Chen's fingers froze slightly and pressed them down by a devil.

"Hey?" A slightly lazy female voice came from the other end of the phone, as if she was about to fall asleep.

After stuttering for a moment, Jiang Chen said with a wry smile. "I."

"Jiang Chen?" A happy voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.

"Isn't there a caller ID...uh, where are you now?"

Lying on the bed, the pair of fair legs swaying back and forth, Liu Yao raised a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she supported her chin and said in a coquettish voice: "What's wrong with you at home? Do you miss me?"

This seems to be the first time Jiang Chen took the initiative to call her.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen ignored the question behind him awkwardly because he didn't know how to answer.

"How far is your home from Wanghai University?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yao couldn't help but pout.

"It's not far away. You can get there in two stops at the subway at the door."

"Ahem. I drank some wine, but I couldn't drive... Otherwise, you can pick me up? It's in the artificial lake of Wanghai University." Jiang Chen said with a shameless face.

The moonlight is bright and the lake is shimmering. The breeze by the lake is light, the cicadas are sparse, and the elm trees are rustling. It is September, and the cool breeze seems to have begun to bring a faint sense of autumn.

Feeling the slight coolness on his arms, Jiang Chen lay on the guardrail of the marble statue and looked at the pavilion in the middle of the lake in a daze.

Speaking of which, when was the last time I passed by here?

Behind you is an English corner, a long chair and a green grass slope, which is a very suitable place for reading aloud.

Of course, it is also a place that is suitable for showing love, so students prefer to call it Lover Po.

“What are you looking at?”

"Looking blankly." Jiang Chen turned around and leaned against the guardrail and smiled. However, he was amazed by Liu Yao's appearance in an instant.

A milky white long skirt and high-soled sandals, the white outfit...

"People who don't know will probably think you are a new student." Jiang Chen smiled bitterly after coming back to his senses.

The raised mouth seemed to have a little girl's pride, and the pretty face under the street light showed a bit of azure.

....Is it because I'm drunk?

Jiang Chen rubbed his temples.

"That's right? I met a 'senior' on the way just now. I volunteered to send me a ride." Liu Yao observed Jiang Chen's side face with a smile.

"oh."

As if he was dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's plain reaction, Liu Yao pouted slightly.

"Aren't you jealous?"

Jiang Chen smiled, turned his head and met his eyes as bright as the lake.

The sentence "Why am I jealous?" was frozen in the throat.

"Maybe, it's a little bit."

Turning his eyes away from his pretty face, he looked at the lawn dotted with fluorescent light.

Liu Yao burst out laughing, and her pouting lips turned into moon buds.

"Later, I told him that I already had a boyfriend, and then he walked away with awkward face."

Jiang Chen shrugged and said with a smile: "How could you be so direct? No one else said he wanted to chase you."

"But that look is the same, and they don't look down on you."

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then fell into silence.

However, this silence was quickly broken.

"Do you want to be my boyfriend?"

"...... Speaking of which, did you dress like this on purpose?" Jiang Chen suddenly changed the subject and asked with a wry smile.

That white long dress, the unpainted face, and the eyes that looked like stars in the clear sky at summer night...

Liu Yao also did not answer, but got up from the leaning railing, stood on the gravel road and gently turned around.

The corners of the skirt were raised lightly, and she turned around and showed a chuckling.

"Like that girl who has watched movies with you?"

After a moment of silence, perhaps because of the drunkenness, Jiang Chen suddenly burst into laughter.

"She is not a good person, why are you learning from her?" He laughed enough and also stood up from the carved railing leaning against, and then grinned.

"Are you the one you imagined?"

Jiang Chen was stunned, and after a while, he asked in confusion: "Is there any difference?"

However, as soon as the words were spoken, the answer had already surged into his heart.

She seemed to be pure and flawless, innocent and romantic. Although I realized later that everything was fake, he did liked Fang Yuanyuan, who looked innocent.

Liu Yao looked at Jiang Chen with a smile. She didn't know the girl, but she vaguely guessed what kind of person he had met. So she was a little clever and when she went out, she changed into this long skirt from her student days.

"Like a traveler in the desert, walking alone towards the non-existent country." As he muttered himself, Jiang Chen looked at the loving couple on the lawn with his eyes in the open space.

"Puchi, you can still write poetry?"

"No, it's just a boring complaint from a boring person."

For some reason, he actually missed Sun Jiao, the delicate and black-bellied girl.

Perhaps, this is why he fell in love with Sun Jiao?

The willfulness who dares to love and hate is written on her face, and she is naughty when she thinks of "bad ideas". Although there is a tendency to transform like a civilized person, Jiang Chen always has the urge to tell her that "it's good that way," because such a girl has almost disappeared in this world.

What else is true here?

Suddenly, the softness blocked his lips, and he stared blankly at the lightly closed eyes.

Lip part.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen spoke slowly.

"Can you ask you something?"

"Um."

"If you put aside material things, what do you like me?"

If it's just money, there should be many rich people.

Liu Yao suddenly smiled, "Maybe it's because of respect."

The smile was beautiful and helpless.

"That's how it is."

Do you desire respect because you are not respected?

After a pause, Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully.

"Then do you know why I accepted your invitation to vacation with you?"

“Because of regret?”

Jiang Chen lowered his eyebrows slightly, neither denying nor expressing affirmation.

“…Send me home.”

Liu Yao's expression was a little disappointed, but she still nodded with a smile.

"Um."
