Chapter 204 It Seems to Lack a Sense of Reality
When Lin Yu walked by, he happened to hear Liu Ou say on the phone, "I'll be back soon, there's no one at home, what's wrong with watching a movie?"
Noticing Lin Yu coming over, she said to the person on the phone, "That will be all, Mom, goodbye."
Then she hung up the phone.
Lin Yu looked at her, "Does your mom want you to come home?"
A look of helplessness flashed across Liu Ou's eyes as she looked up at Lin Yu, "You know how controlling they are."
Even her dad had installed surveillance in the living room after he found out she was dating.
This made Liu Ou feel incomprehensible and terrified.
Even though their excuse was worrying about her safety when she was home alone.
But Liu Ou found it laughable, what was there to fear about safety?
Why weren't they worried before?
They didn't even bother to come up with a decent excuse.
Seeing a brief look of weariness on Liu Ou's face, Lin Yu felt a pang of heartache, "Is it very difficult for you to be with me?"
Liu Ou looked down at him as he knelt in front of her.
She reached out and touched Lin Yu's face, this was their most intimate gesture since that hug, "What are you thinking? If I was afraid, would I have taken the initiative to be with you?"
Her voice was very gentle as she spoke, but her gaze at Lin Yu was firm, "I'm not afraid of difficulties at all."
Lin Yu reached out and took her hand, "Your face is all greasy, and you don't mind..."
His tone was lighthearted, and then, unconcerned, he dropped a gentle kiss into the soft palm of her hand.
On the other side, the grandmother turned her head only to see this scene.
She was old and couldn't see clearly, but she could imagine that Lin Yu's face must be wearing a smile, a particularly happy kind.
Suddenly, her heart felt relieved.
Her grandson hadn't had many good days in these past ten years, and it was rare for him to like a girl. They were both still young. If they liked each other, let them be together.
What would happen tomorrow, no one knew.
But for now, their happiness was enough.
Later, Liu Ou and Lin Yu helped grandmother close the stall and went back home together.
As soon as they entered the yard, the grandmother hurriedly said, "Weren't you going to watch a movie? What time is it already? Hurry up then, I'll be fine after I finish tidying up here."
Liu Ou said, "Grandma, we're not in a hurry..."
"Oh, that's enough. Grandma is old but not really senile. Go on, off you go," she said as she pushed them out, still asking, "What do you want to eat tomorrow, Liu Ou? Grandma will cook for you. You seemed to like that stewed chicken last time. I'll make it for you..."
In the end, the two were shooed out, and the old lady swiftly closed the door behind them.
Lin Yu looked at the closed door, somewhat amused, "At least let me change my coat..."
Liu Ou had a smile on her face too as she sized Lin Yu up and down, "No need to change, you look handsome."
Lin Yu looked at her white cashmere coat, "But I originally wanted to match colors with you."
His voice was light with laughter, "Like a couple's outfit."
"But black and white look good together too." Liu Ou gripped his hand, "Let's go, black and white match is super nice."
In the end, they rushed to see a horror film.
As for domestic horror films, well, those who know, know.
When they came out, it was almost one o'clock.
The cinema was still quite crowded.
With the New Year approaching, all the festively loud new year movies dominated.
Liu Ou looked at the posters and suddenly laughed, her tone helpless, "With so many films, how did we end up watching a horror movie?"
Lin Yu's tone was innocent, "You said to pick the one that starts soonest, but think about it, this was the last showing. The ticket seller also just said it had been taken down."
Liu Ou thought about it and nodded happily.
The two walked out, and just as they stepped out of the cinema, snow began to flutter down from the sky.
Liu Ou, surprised, reached out to catch the snowflakes, which melted as soon as they landed on her palm.
She turned happily to share this with Lin Yu but then felt a warmth on her lips.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Lin Yu quickly bent down to kiss her lips as she turned, a scene so familiar.
But last time, it was amidst a splendid display of fireworks.
Back then, her eyes were full of shock and panic.
This time, it was during a light snowfall.
Surprise flickered in her eyes, followed by shock, and finally, a gentle smile remained.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and then her eyes slowly closed.
Lin Yu could hear his own heartbeat as he gently wrapped his arm around her waist.
The other hand was placed behind her neck, and he closed his eyes.
The kiss before was stolen, this one was not, for the girl in his arms was his girlfriend.
His, girlfriend.
....
Xie Xiao received Lin Yu's frantic text literature at two in the morning.
Isn't this guy a bit messed up?
Fortunately, Xie Xiao was also still awake, editing a video.
It was a New Year's special, pre-recorded, planning to be released the following night.
Watching Lin Yu go crazy in the middle of the night because of a kiss.
Xie Xiao didn't dare to imagine if an even more intimate action occurred, would this guy show up under his apartment in the middle of the night?
Xie Xiao replied with six dots.
Then Lin Yu texted, "Aren't you asleep yet? Come down and chat?"
Xie Xiao sat upright suddenly, "?? No, where are you?"
"At the entrance of your residential area."
Xie Xiao: ...Even without a more intimate action, this guy was already downstairs.
Complaining mentally, Xie Xiao still sneaked out in a down jacket.
He made sure to be very quiet as his family's Dr. Yang had to work early the next morning.
Only upon going out did he realize it had started snowing.
Lin Yu knew Xie Xiao was awake, so he came in after registering. He was downstairs now.
Xie Xiao saw him and was somewhat speechless, "Aren't you a bit messed up? Why come over here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Lin Yu's eyes shone brightly, "I was too excited to sleep."
Xie Xiao: ...
He pulled out two candies from his pocket and stuffed one into Lin Yu's mouth, "Remember to brush your teeth when you get back."
Lin Yu muttered, "Now that you mention it, I really want to smoke."
At two in the morning, two young guys, not sleeping, sitting on the lobby steps and watching the heavy snow outside.
They both still had a candy in their mouths.
Somehow, the scene looked rather silly.
Xie Xiao listened to Lin Yu talk about what his grandmother and Liu Ou said today.
As he spoke, a smile was on his face.
Gazing outside, the snowflakes under the streetlight were indeed quite beautiful.
Lin Yu spoke softly, "Old Xie, I am really very happy."
He turned his face toward Xie Xiao, "I had thought that my life might just go on like this, but now I suddenly realize that I seem to have countless possibilities."
Xie Xiao, looking into Lin Yu's bright eyes, had an easy smile, "Human beings are inherently full of infinite possibilities. I once had a dream..."
His eyes flickered with a faraway look, suddenly wondering whether it was a dream or if it had really happened?
Had he truly been reborn?
The happiness now suddenly seemed less real.
