Chapter 288: Can you fall in love with me again? (Five thousand words in two)
Lu Jiujiu learned a few days ago that Ning Yuan was going to confess his love on New Year's Eve.
At that time, she had just finished staying at home and returned to school. However, although she was back, her soul seemed to still be in that night. She often sat in front of the drawing board for a long time, but when it was time to hand in her homework,
The drawing board is blank.
The professional course teacher remembered this girl who took her homework most seriously. Of course, even if she didn't consider handing in homework, it was very difficult for others to ignore Lu Jiujiu because of her good looks. The professional course teacher did not criticize Lu.
Jiujiu, she even took the initiative to talk to her and told her that if something happened, she could resolve the matter first and then come back to class.
For Lu Jiujiu at that time, the test she faced was far more than just an accident. So she shook her head in silence, apologized, and left with her homework in her arms.
Asking her found nothing, so he turned to ask Lu Jiujiu's roommates. The little girls all stared blankly, but hesitantly said that it might be a relationship issue, and they didn't know much about the rest.
After hearing such a reason, the professional course teacher couldn't help but sigh. She really couldn't solve this problem, and she didn't have the position to come forward to solve it. She had experienced that age when relationships were the top priority in life, and she knew that at that time
Girls often don't listen to other people's advice. So the teacher thought about it and decided to talk to Lu Jiujiu's family about this matter.
According to convention, this step of hers is not very necessary. Teachers in universities are actually very afraid of trouble, because at this time they are already facing a group of adults, and they cannot use the adult language like teachers in junior high schools and high schools.
Discipline from a standpoint. Some university teachers even hope that they should have no contact with most students except for meeting in class and campus.
It is better to do less than to do more. Sometimes you may not get credit for taking charge, but you will definitely have responsibility.
However, this professional course teacher was obviously a little worried about Lu Jiujiu, that girl whose eyes were as pure as crystal in the past, that cute and spiritual girl. She was inexperienced in the world and unstained by dust. Everyone who saw her would be unbearable.
The idea of wanting to protect her innocent and pure temperament... But for such a girl with an impeccable family background, personality and appearance, she would actually worry about gains and losses because of emotional issues?
Maybe the boy she fell in love with saved the solar system in her previous life, right?
This teacher is obviously too young and does not know that his own pattern is actually surprisingly small. In comparison, Lu Tianjiao's pattern is much larger. He knows Ning Yuan's situation and his daughter's situation. Faced with the teacher's concern,
He could only respond and say that he would pay attention.
But after all, how can he pay attention? When his daughter grows up and has her own worries, all the old fathers in the world are equally lonely. Especially when that worry is about another boy, what can the father do?
Even less.
Ning Yuan's separation from her has already made his daughter taciturn. If Ning Yuan really gets together with that little girl from the Jiang family, Jiu Jiu will probably feel even more uncomfortable.
Did I really do something wrong? This is a question that Lu Tianjiao has occasionally thought about in the past few days.
It shouldn't have been a mistake at the time, but judging from the current results, it is undoubtedly a mistake.
What should I do now to make up for that mistake? Tell Jiujiu the truth?
That would probably only make her fall into a more autistic stage...
Just when Lu Tianjiao was still hesitating, the news that Ning Yuan was about to confess to Jiang Manyue spread to Xiao Ling'er. Ning 10 chose to rush to find Jiang Manyue solo as soon as possible, and Lu Jiujiu
As expected, he fell into a deeper silence.
What he said that night finally came true. He would confess his love to Jiang Manyue, and the two of them would walk hand in hand through the years to come. As for who the person in front of him was and what his name was, it didn't seem to matter.
Lu Jiujiu has always been accustomed to escaping from situations she cannot handle. A delicate rose that has been cared for perfectly in a greenhouse is facing a storm in vain. Who can hope that she can survive it on her own?
As long as you don't think about it or look at it, it will eventually pass. Maybe Ning Yuan and Jiang Manyue will break up in the future? By that time, Ning Yuan will definitely come back to her again, right?
But Lu Jiujiu's tears suddenly fell down while she was thinking about it. Even she knew that this reason was just a futile self-comfort, and had no practical meaning other than making her feel better mentally.
On the day of the confession on the 31st, the roommates decided to go shopping together. She followed behind and tried her best to appear happy, but she couldn't even do such a simple disguise. She was not good at hiding her worries. In order to
Not to spoil everyone's interest, she could only use the excuse that her family was looking for her and left the team alone.
As a result, she met Gu Guanxue.
They met at a street corner. When Lu Hanhan was wandering aimlessly, Gu Guanxue seemed to know that she would pass by here, so she waited for her there early.
In Gu Guanxue's words, this seems to be called the bond between defeated dogs.
When Xuebao said this, she put her hands in the pockets of her off-white woolen coat, and her knitted scarf was wrapped around loosely, with a slight smile on her face. Of course, she didn't care about Jiujiu.
Not understanding the joke he was telling, he asked to himself:
"Want to have a drink together?"
Lu Jiujiu hesitated for a while and nodded lightly. In fact, her friendship with Gu Guanxue was limited to Ning Yuan. They often met during the filming of micro-movies, and then gradually transitioned to the period when the confession failed.
What connection.
She didn't know whether to refuse or not. She was just walking aimlessly now. It would be a good thing if someone she knew wanted to sit down and chat with her.
At least it won't let her think about anything all the time, and she won't have peace of mind.
"Drink or wine?"
"Drink...Ning..."
Lu Jiujiu was about to say that Ning Yuan would not let her drink this, but before she could finish her words, she fell silent, looking pitiful with her head lowered.
"Drinks, OK. Let's be consistent in rejecting alcohol." A bright and brisk smile bloomed on Gu Guanxue's cheeks. She placed the order and handed it over.
The waiter put his chin on his little hand and said, "Looking at you, you must have already known the news, right?"
Lu Jiujiu didn't say anything. Xuebao was not angry when he saw this, and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it. Anyway, we don't have the ability to change this fact. It's better to look away."
"What do you want to say?" Lu Jiujiu couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, I just want to have a brief chat with you and build up the relationship between the two losers..." Xuebao replied with a smile: "Anyway, Jiang Manyue has already won most of it, hasn't he?"
Lu Jiujiu: "..."
"Are you very unwilling to do so?" Xuebao blinked: "Actually, I am quite unwilling to do so..."
"Really?"
Lu Jiujiu asked in a low voice, holding a glass of orange juice that the waiter had just brought over, with some hesitation: "Is such an unwillingness really right?"
"What's wrong? Who stipulates that the loser must be convinced?" Gu Guanxue replied matter-of-factly: "The kind of guy who behaves indifferently after losing is either pretending, or she doesn't care about this job.
I don’t care about the result.”
"You feel unwilling to do so, which means you care about Ning Yuan very much."
Lu Jiujiu remained silent. She took a sip of orange juice and licked her lips like a kitten. Then Gu Guanxue sighed and said, "It's just a pity..."
"Both of us seem to have missed each other's single-line ending options."
The girl didn't understand Gu Guanxue's galgam game cuts, and showed a cute and confused expression. Seeing this, Xuebao explained: "It is the option of a single heroine ending. If Ning Yuan is regarded as the protagonist of a love game,
So he liked both of us before. But for some reason we couldn't get together."
"By the way, Ning Yuan is taking the full moon line now." Gu Guanxue said quietly: "And looking at this situation, it will be the finale tonight."
Lu Jiujiu's heart suddenly started beating. She was stunned for a moment and asked with some uncertainty:
"You just said... Ning Yuan liked me?"
"Probably, I guessed it." Xuebao took a sip of the liquid in the cup and said with interest, "I thought you actually knew."
"I...I don't know..."
Lu Jiujiu felt that her throat was surprisingly dry. She drank the remaining drink in the cup in one go and asked cautiously:
"How did you guess...Ning Yuan...Did Ning Yuan tell you?"
"If he had told me, it wouldn't be called guessing." Xuebao tilted his head and recalled: "According to my guess, the time period was probably before he met me... Oh no, maybe he still liked me after meeting me.
With you."
"Oh, I feel a little heartbroken when I think about it. When Ning Yuan fell in love with me, he actually still had a place for you in his heart. It's not as good as Jiang Manyue... He can take the initiative to free up your place for her to live in." Gu
Guan Xue thought for a while and sighed: "But I can't blame him completely. After all, I didn't give him that much time at the beginning."
"Do you have any evidence?" Lu Jiujiu nervously held Gu Guanxue's hand.
"Evidence...there is no evidence for this."
"..."
"But you don't have to be discouraged." Gu Guanxue then said, "Maybe you have to find this evidence yourself?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Literally." Gu Guanxue shrugged and reminded: "You can think about how your relationship has changed along the way. All I can tell you is my guess."
"When Ning Yuan and I let go of each other before, he said that he once liked a girl, but he never confessed to her." Xuebao sighed and continued: "Later, in order to prevent this regret from recurring, he chose to confess to me.
.”
"But I didn't agree, so this became another regret for him."
"So you guess that girl is me?" Lu Jiujiu asked.
"Of course, after all, I have dug up almost all the information about Xiao Ling'er. Apart from you, no other girl has the time and conditions to cultivate a relationship with Ning Yuan. Because he spent almost his entire youth with you.
.”
"But...then why didn't he confess..." Lu Jiujiu suddenly felt at a loss. She thought, if Ning Yuan confessed to her, she would have no reason to refuse.
How could she refuse? She is not Gu Guanxue. She obviously likes her but still deceives herself into refusing...
"I don't know, maybe he has already hinted it?" Gu Guanxue said pointedly: "Later, I went to check what happened when you were in high school, and I found something very interesting."
"It seems that no one in your class has sent photos or videos of you two on the day of your graduation dinner..."
"..."
"Ning Yuan obviously cannot be the kind of person who is unknown and has no sense of existence, and the same is true for you. But these two people with a strong sense of existence have never appeared in any shots... Don't you think this is very unfair?
Is it normal?"
Gu Guanxue said in a gloomy tone: "What would cause this situation is that either you didn't attend the party at all that day, or... someone didn't want you to see the footage of you two."
Lu Jiujiu's mind seemed to suddenly have a thunderbolt, and the originally chaotic thoughts gradually became clear. So this is why the classmates kept secret about the graduation day? Why did Ning Yuan stop letting him drink after the graduation dinner?
...and why Lu Tianjiao arranged for himself and his family to travel abroad during his graduation year...
She suddenly couldn't sit still, and stood up tremblingly, staring at Gu Guanxue, as if she wanted to say something. Xuebao laughed softly when he saw this:
"It seems you already know how to verify... I wish you all the best."
Gu Guanxue gently raised the cup, but before she could finish the drink, Jiu Bao reached out and snatched it away.
"Are you trying to be brave?" Xuebao blinked and looked at Lu Jiujiu, whose momentum was gradually changing: "But I ordered a non-alcoholic drink. It just tastes a bit like a drink."
"I know." Jiubao put down the cup and said seriously: "Anyway, thank you."
"You're welcome, I'm just using you." Gu Guanxue replied generously: "There are still a few hours, I hope it's not too late."
The girl didn't answer. She walked toward the door, her pace quickening little by little. Then she seemed to feel that she was walking too slowly, so she simply started running. She threw off the bag and scarf in her hand,
He threw off his hat and ran towards where he wanted to go.
The clock was turning and the traffic was passing by. It didn't take much time to verify the truth. As New Year's Eve was getting closer, she and Ning Yuan were already walking on different streets.
Faster, faster.
Her tears seemed to have never stopped since she fully understood the truth. After getting out of the car, she wiped her tears with her little hands while running. The cold wind made the tip of her nose and cheeks turn red, but she was completely unaware of it.
. As the New Year's bell rang, more and more people were on the street. They were very surprised to see this beautiful girl running forward desperately, not knowing where she was going. In the end, the girl was in a
He stopped at the street corner and looked down the street, his beloved's figure slowly appeared in front of him.
"Ning Yuan..."
She stopped where she was, with tears streaming down her face. Ning Yuan heard the sound and looked back. Lu Jiujiu, who was crying, ran towards him step by step, hugged him, stood on tiptoes and kissed him:
The girl's unique scent of hair and the sweet fragrance on her lips and teeth gradually reverberated, and in an instant, Ning Yuan's senses were filled with only Lu Jiujiu's breath. His eyes widened, and for a moment he even thought he was back in a trance.
On that graduation night, when the drunk Lu Jiujiu hugged him and kissed him, the surroundings were filled with good-natured cheers from her classmates.
"Together, together! Together, together!"
After the trance passed, these well-meaning cheers that only existed in the memory finally turned into the voices of people in the surrounding streets. The two people opened their eyes and separated slightly.
Lu Jiujiu's body seemed to be trembling, and her lips and teeth seemed to be trembling slightly. She didn't know whether it was because her thin body looked particularly weak in the cold weather or because the emotions in her heart were too agitated and she couldn't calm down.
"What's wrong?" he asked softly.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... Ning Yuan... I'm really sorry..." Lu Jiujiu was still sobbing, with shock and fear on her face. She was crying so wronged and sad, and her face was already filled with tears as she rushed all the way.
She was so embarrassed with tears, but even so, Lu Jiujiu still looked so good-looking.
"I don't know, I really don't know... If I had known earlier that you also liked me, I would definitely not have kissed you only when I was drunk."
"Ning Yuan...I like you...not because I am dependent on you, nor because I am used to it, but because it is you..."
"Ever since I was little, I have always enjoyed being taken care of by others, but you are the only one who made me know what it feels like to take care of someone."
"You keep saying that I can't tell the difference between liking and dependence, but that's not the case. It's not because you are always by my side that I fall in love with you. This is not the reason, but the result."
"It is precisely because I like you that I want you to stay with me."
"Do you still remember the first time we met? You asked me to show you the answers during the placement English test. That was the first time I helped someone cheat." Lu Jiujiu sobbed intermittently: "Later I didn't
Be careful to let grandma and the others know about it. Grandma and the others will be very angry. I heard them discussing letting you leave my class."
"At that time, I suddenly became scared. I didn't want you to disappear suddenly from my life like my former partner. So for the first time since I was a child, I disobeyed an adult's order and tried my best to say that you were actually a good boy. You
It won’t be like this anymore...but they don’t seem to listen.”
"I cried for a long time and went to school in a daze the next day. I was really happy when I saw you... Ning Yuan..."
