Chapter 908: Meeting You, I Am Back to Life 34
Soon, the movie was about to start and the lights in the theater dimmed instantly. Shen Qi finally managed to retain the last bit of dignity in this darkness.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
His milk tea was placed on his left hand side, and Lingyao's was placed on his right hand side. Subconsciously, he picked up the cup of milk tea on his right hand side.
"fine."
Shen Qi's face was still hot as he was about to reach into his bag to get a tissue to wipe the straw, but before he could do anything, Ling Yao picked up the milk tea next to her and took a sip.
Shen Qi was completely focused, not moving at all.
The big screen in front was playing the prelude to this romantic comedy.
And offstage, another romantic comedy was being performed.
Through the dim light, Shen Qi saw Ling Yao's face lost in the video.
Her expression was serious, yet there was a sense of indescribable arousal that could only be felt, as casual and charming as gently fiddling with a lock between fingers.
In the quiet cinema, Shen Qi heard her voice.
"Is this an indirect kiss?"
Does it count?
Is this an indirect kiss?
Shen Qi had no way of giving an answer. His mind was already in a mess and he couldn't think.
By the end of the movie, he still hadn't repaired the broken components.
The cool wind with the chill of late autumn blew across his neck and ears as Shen Qi and Ling Yao were walking on the street.
But before he took two steps, Lingyao grabbed Shen Qi's hand.
"Shen Qi, didn't you always hold my hand when we were little?" Ling Yao said confidently.
Shen Qi's fingers felt like they were electrocuted. An electric current flowed from his fingertips and hit his heart directly, making his whole body numb.
Shen Qi now wanted to sigh to the sky and ask God for help. Why was his heart beating so violently? The levels of the hormone dopamine in his brain were surging rapidly. If this continued, he was about to faint.
He wanted to say, "It was childhood. Now he and she have grown up and have reached the age where they should avoid suspicion."
But Shen Qi didn't say it out loud, because from the first time she said she didn't have a boyfriend, to today's drinking milk tea and holding hands, Shen Qi knew what she meant.
He shouldn't have just given such a perfunctory reply. As the younger one, she might have mistaken some of the dependence, admiration and worship of the elders as love. As the elders, because they are a few years older, they naturally have more experience and it is easy for the younger generation to have a yearning emotion.
As the older one, he shouldn't use his advantage to destroy her innocence.
Even at this moment he could hardly control his own emotions.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Shen Qi tried his best to calm down and tried to analyze the problems between them to Lingyao.
After listening to his analysis, Lingyao said:
She endured for a long time, but still couldn't help but speak: "Do you really think you have more experience than me, and think I can't tell what is love?"
Lingyao felt that Shen Qi was a little dull when doing the experiment.
Shen Qi was speechless for a moment after being refuted by Lingyao's two sentences.
He thought back to the past, and he didn't dare to answer "yes" to either of the two questions Lingyao asked.
Seeing that he was silent, Lingyao didn't give him any more chances. She hooked her fingers around his hand, then held it tightly and led him forward.
Shen Qi felt his fingers burned, and he stood there in a daze as she held his hand, but he didn't let go.
In the dark night, two figures were stretched out under the street lights.
After sending Lingyao home, Shen Qi slumped down on the sofa as soon as he entered the door.
He took out his cell phone and turned to Lingyao's chat interface. He clicked in and exited, clicked in and exited, and repeated this for nearly half an hour.
The thoughts that flashed through my mind ranged from "How did things develop to this point?" to "Is she really going to start contacting me as she said?" to "But isn't this a bit immoral..."
"But she seems to have always been an extremely reliable person in his heart." "So, she might really... like him?" "In fact, he is not much older than her." "It's over, I'm so shameless, I actually feel a little happy, very happy."
Thinking of this, Shen Qi couldn't help but lower his head on the pillow to vent his overly excited energy and hide the corners of his mouth that were secretly smiling under the pillow.
Just as he was banging his head on the pillow, his cell phone vibrated.
It was Yuan He who didn't disturb them just now and now sent greetings.
[Oh my, our Shen Bo has really forgotten his mother after getting married. When we were in the same dormitory, I took good care of you, but now you have a crush on someone and you didn't even tell me.]
Shen Qi: [……]
Shen Qi: [I told you about my...sister.]
Won Hyuk: [? ]
One minute later, a screenshot was sent by Yuan He.
The screenshots showed a few sentences of chat between the two people, and the content was so familiar that it couldn’t be more familiar.
[Shen Qi, you don't like your sister, do you? ]
[Won Hyuk, don't make such jokes. When I was 18, she was only 12 years old and in the sixth grade of elementary school.]
[Okay, okay, I won't say any more. It's really a beast when I think about it. She's only eighteen now, right? She came back to go to college.]
Shen Qi finished reading: [……]
Shen Qi's comment: [Well, I am a beast.]
Won Hyuk: [666, my brother changed his face and didn’t call me/]
Soon, Yuan He sent another interview question: [Didn’t she just return to China a few days ago? When did you transform into a beast? You didn’t become attracted to her because she has grown up to be so beautiful. ]
Shen Qi: [She was very beautiful when she was a child, and she has always been beautiful. ]
Won Hyuk: [[rolls eyes][rolls eyes] Is this the point? The point is when did you have improper thoughts about someone?]
After Yuan He sent the message, there was no reply for a long time. Just when he thought Shen Qi would not answer, another message came.
[When I saw her in the classroom, I felt like a missing part of my body had returned.]
Shen Qi has been missing Lingyao all these years.
But, he didn’t know when it started, maybe it was the first time he dreamed of him holding Lingyao’s hand and walking along the river.
Or maybe, besides wanting to know whether she ate well and grew taller abroad, he also secretly inquired in the chat room whether there were other people or other boys around her.
Especially during his college years, when Lingyao was fourteen or fifteen years old, he heard that children abroad matured early and many of them were in love at the age of fourteen or fifteen. Because of Lingyao, he would often read posts about foreign countries, so the system would push more to him, and when Shen Qi saw this content, he couldn't help but click in to read it.
Every time he clicked on it, it felt like ants were gnawing at his heart. The more he read, the more push notifications he got. The more push notifications he got, the more he read. Shen Qi could hardly bear it anymore.
It was the time when he was about to graduate from his senior year and was about to have a vacation. Although Shen Qi didn't know Lingyao's exact location, he had asked Lingyao before but she didn't tell him.
But he still bought a plane ticket to California. He thought that once he landed, she would not be so cruel as to leave him alone in a foreign country.
However, he didn't expect that he would completely lose contact with the other party before he had his holiday.
