Long Time Loved Friend - Chapter 54
Yun Zhi reminded himself to calm down in his heart, and changed the subject after a while: “Then did you see anything?”
“Well,” Yu Mingxia nodded, sliding his index finger along the lines on her palm, “Look, this is the emotional line, it is very clear, it shows that you are very active in dealing with emotions, and your emotional line is very long, extending to the root of the index finger. Explanation You are loyal and dedicated to your relationship, and your future relationship life will be relatively smooth①.”
Yun Zhi felt his palms itch, his gaze followed Yu Mingxia’s fingers, and he frowned: “You really don’t seem to be modest.”
Yu Mingxia looked up: “Huh?”
“I just learned a little bit,” Yun Zhi pursed his lips, “My love life is not going well.”
“…” Yu Mingxia smiled, and said again, “I said that from here onwards, there will be a small fork in front, and after the small ups and downs, there will be a bright future.”
Yun Zhi curled his lips, and after careful analysis of what she said, he still felt that what she said was wrong, but hoped that she was right.
“Does that mean that the next person I like will definitely be successful?” Yun Zhi muttered to himself, then suddenly thought of something and shook his head before Yu Mingxia could answer, “No, it should be successful, otherwise I will grow old alone .”
Doesn’t this mean that there is only one relationship in her future? The fork that was divided has passed, and now it has arrived at Yu Mingxia’s place.
“Believe it or not. It’s just interesting to watch. Don’t pay too much attention to it.” Seeing her reaction, Yu Mingxia vaguely felt something.
“Then look at you.” Yun Zhi clasped Yu Mingxia’s hand instead, imitating the movement she had just made, groping lightly with her fingertips in her palm, lowering his head and lowering his eyes to think seriously.
Yu Mingxia leaned against the back seat and looked at her slightly, distracted by her seriousness.
“Your line is also very long,” Yunzhi muttered softly, “but why didn’t you fork it?”
Seeing her comparing such things, Yu Mingxia couldn’t laugh or cry, and said helplessly, “Why do you want to compare such things?”
Yun Zhi pouted, watching her hesitate to speak.
She didn’t mean to compare, but she just felt that if Yu Mingxia remained dedicated, then wouldn’t she have no chance.
Palmistry is not accurate at all.
At first, Yu Mingxia just felt that Yun Zhi’s hands were warm, so he glanced at the palmistry incidentally. If she cared so much about this matter, Yu Mingxia wouldn’t help her read it.
“Other than this, we are quite compatible, right?” Yun Zhi quickly adjusted, as long as she doesn’t believe this kind of thing, it doesn’t exist.
Yu Mingxia watched as Yun Zhi’s fingertips left her palm, and then folded her hands from thumb to little finger.
A ridiculous idea popped up in Yu Mingxia’s mind.
“Here we are.”
At this time, the driver stopped the car, turned his head and talked to the two of them, interrupting Yu Mingxia’s train of thought.
Yu Mingxia regained consciousness, and Yun Zhi let go of her hand, poked her arm with his index finger, and reminded in a low voice, “Get out of the car.”
“Okay.” Yu Mingxia smiled and opened the car door.
Reminding myself in my heart, wait a little longer.
After that day, Yu Mingxia intentionally observed Yun Zhi’s words and actions, sometimes he would think that Yun Zhi also liked her, but sometimes he felt that it was like Yun Zhi’s dependence on a good friend.
She couldn’t figure it out, so she didn’t point it out, and let Yun Zhi approach, and let herself fall even more.
When Yu Chuxue came back from a business trip on Wednesday, the first thing she did was to ask about Yu Mingxia’s situation.
“Not sure.” Yu Mingxia answered truthfully.
When Yu Chuxue heard the words, she felt that she could say things that were not clear, and she had confidence in her mind that the situation must be better than before.
Yu Chuxue didn’t ask her about this anymore, but asked her about her recent arrangements, from Friday to weekend.
“Is there something wrong?” Yu Mingxia heard the hesitation in her words and knew that she must have something to say.
Yu Chuxue hesitated for a while, but in the end she shook her head without saying anything.
The atmosphere in the president’s office was a little quiet.
Yu Chuxue turned her head to look out the window, as if she was thinking about something, Yu Mingxia looked at her, and glanced at the clock hanging above her head, right in front of the office.
Although the date was not displayed, she made a rough calculation and understood what made Yu Chuxue hesitant to speak.
“Just refuse next time,” Yu Mingxia said calmly, then looked at the time and said, “If there is nothing else, I’ll leave first.”
“I declined, but you know, forget it.” Yu Chuxue pursed her lips, and changed the topic, “There is one more thing.”
Yu Mingxia looked at her, waiting for her next words.
“The day after tomorrow is Jiang Ling’s wedding. Didn’t you say you wanted to go? She’s going to have a party tomorrow. Let’s see if you want to go.” Yu Chuxue asked.
Yu Mingxia was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly: “Have you been invited?”
Yu Chuxue was helpless: “That happened many years ago, and Gu Qingyue is not so stingy.”
Yu Mingxia nodded clearly, and the emotions just now had also been diluted.
“So you’re going to the wedding then?”
“Well,” Yu Chuxue added uncomfortably under Yu Mingxia’s stare, “I guess why you want to go to the wedding, Yunzhi is going too?”
Yu Mingxia didn’t hide it, and nodded.
“Sure enough,” Yu Chuxue sneered, and when Yu Mingxia looked over, she said seriously, “Actually, I’m here to help you. After all, you two are a couple with me, aren’t you?”
Because of Yu Chuxue’s going on a blind date with Yu Mingxia before, Yunzhi now thinks that the two of them are lovers in Yu Chuxue’s eyes.
She had just come back today and bumped into two people in the hall, she just asked a few words about their situation, Yun Zhi quickly grabbed Yu Mingxia’s hand and proved to her that their relationship was very good.
Yu Mingxia didn’t speak, thinking about the past few days.
She didn’t have the heart to tell Yu Chuxue that Yunzhi treated her like this before she came back during this period of time.
“My sisters don’t talk about each other, so you don’t need to thank me,” Yu Chuxue took her silence as an answer, and then thought about the company’s cooperation, and said to her, “I met an old classmate on this business trip. The company’s publicity is good, and if there are no accidents, she will come to our company to discuss cooperation in a few days.”
Yu Mingxia nodded: “If you think it’s good, then it must be good.”
Yu Mingxia didn’t care who his old classmate was, but only cared about the other party’s professional ability and level. Since Yu Chuxue said it was good, it must be very good.
Seeing this, Yu Chuxue didn’t say any more, only mentioned the matter of the previous gathering, and asked again.
“I’ll give you the answer after I ask,” Yu Mingxia thought for a while before saying, “I’m going first.”
Yu Chuxue looked at the back of Yu Mingxia leaving, and vaguely felt that her state had changed a lot.
When Yu Mingxia returned to the office, Yun Zhi was not there.
She opened the cell phone that she left on the table before leaving, and there were two messages from ten minutes ago.
[I went to the twelfth floor to explain my work. 】
[Don’t miss me. 】
Yu Mingxia chuckled, then stared at the words on it in a daze.
Is this just the boundaries of friends?
Whenever she had such thoughts, she would think of what Yun Zhi said.
She said that she will bravely confess to the person she likes.
At present, it seems that Yun Zhi doesn’t have such thoughts towards her.
“What are you thinking?”
Yu Mingxia was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn’t realize that Yun Zhi had returned.
Yun Zhi put the document in his hand back on the desk, rummaged through his pen, and made a few marks on the document.
After finishing writing, I heard Yu Mingxia say: “I heard that Jiang Ling will hold a party tomorrow, are you going?”
Yun Zhi hummed, put down the pen, turned around and said, “She called me, but I haven’t answered yet, are you going? If you go, I’ll go.”
Although Yunzhi didn’t have much contact with Jiang Ling in high school, the two have always kept in simple contact because of what she did for Jiang Ling three years ago.
“I didn’t think it was interesting at first. A party is just a group of people chatting and eating.”
“Then do you want to go?”
“I can do it. I knew a lot of people in high school. Jiang Ling was afraid that I would feel bored, so she told me roughly who she called and asked me to call some people I knew,” Yun Zhi paused. After a pause, he continued, “Actually, I really want to know what they will look like ten years from now.”
“Ten years later?” Yu Mingxia was puzzled.
It was only then that Yun Zhi remembered that she hadn’t told Yu Mingxia about this matter.
“I like to take pictures of girls in high school. I will always ask for a backup of the photos after I take them. I made a collection of photos and keep them at home.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunzhi paused.
This is her ability, her talent, she should show it to Yu Mingxia.
Only in this way can Yu Mingxia praise her even more from the inside out. With admiration, love is not far away.
“Do you want to see it?” Yunzhi asked.
Yu Mingxia nodded.
“Then you go home with me next time? I’ll show you.”
“go home?”
“Well, I think it takes up too much space. I sent a lot of things home two days ago, and the photo album seems to have been sent back.”
Yu Mingxia was thoughtful.
Just when Yunzhi was about to ask, he heard Yu Mingxia’s voice: “Do you want to see your parents?”
Yun Zhi tidied up the desktop, thinking: “They are usually busy, so they may not be able to meet each other.”
Although he didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Yun Zhi always felt that Yu Mingxia in front of him was a little nervous when he mentioned her parents.
“Just go home sometime when they’re not around, or…”
Or Yun Zhi didn’t go on talking about it later.
In fact, she really wanted to take Yu Mingxia home, even if she couldn’t see her parents, it would be better to let Aunt Zhang who grew up with her see her.
Even if you can’t tell Yu Mingxia, but you can tell other people around you.
In the past two days, Jiang Yuan’an and Zhu Qingmeng had a temper tantrum, and the two were in a bad situation. Yun Zhi felt that it was not the right time to talk to her about this matter, so he didn’t mention it during this time.
“Well, let’s go to your house sometime then.”
Yu Mingxia pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous, no one would not want to be recognized by the parents of the person she likes, but she doesn’t have much experience with elders, so she couldn’t help but worry.
Even if they are not together yet.
“Okay,” Yun Zhi smiled happily, then remembered what Yu Mingxia had mentioned just now, and said, “Then you will accompany me to play tomorrow?”
Yu Mingxia nodded, and said again: “Chuxue will also go tomorrow.”
Yunzhi let out an ah in surprise at first, then came to his senses, and asked tentatively, “Is that what we mean by continuing to pretend to be a couple?”
“Yes.” Yu Mingxia pursed his lips and smiled lightly.
“Great.”
“Great?” Yu Mingxia was puzzled.
Not wanting her to find out, Yun Zhi coughed lightly, walked to her side, leaned against the desk in front of her, and pretended to be serious: “Don’t you know? In fact, there is a tendency to compare at class reunions.”
Yu Mingxia looked up at her and nodded slightly.
“I will ask about everything from career to relationship.” Seeing that Yu Mingxia was still puzzled, Yun Zhi said seriously, “At that time, someone will definitely ask about his job, whether he is in a relationship, and when he plans to get married.”
Yu Mingxia raised his head to see the sly light in her eyes when she was speaking seriously, her long eyelashes were like a small fan, and the contours of her face were clear, which was very suitable for holding in the palm of her hand.
After Yun Zhi finished speaking, she didn’t hear an answer, but instead saw the finger in front of her eyes getting closer and closer, and finally landed on her cheek.
Feeling the touch of her fingers, Yun Zhi’s breathing was stagnant and his heart was beating fast, he didn’t understand Yu Mingxia’s sudden move.
Yun Zhi didn’t move, just stared at Yu Mingxia’s eyes, his mind was in a mess.
Only then did Yun Zhi realize that Yu Mingxia seemed to have the affectionate eyes that others often say, the kind that makes dogs look gentle and affectionate.
Because she thought about it, from the moment she realized it to the present, when she and Yu Mingxia looked at each other, her eyes were very gentle.
Yu Mingxia stopped suddenly, rubbed her thumb lightly on her cheek, and then said softly, “It’s a little dusty.”
“Oh.” Yun Zhi was slightly lonely, and then felt embarrassed again. He leaned back slightly, avoiding Yu Mingxia’s hand, raised his hand to wipe his cheek, and said in a low voice, “I just went to the equipment room, maybe I was not careful. Got it, now what?”
Yu Mingxia withdrew his lost hand, smiled lightly and said, “Okay.”
Yun Zhi nodded, being interrupted by Yu Mingxia, she forgot what she just said.
Seeing this, Yu Mingxia reminded her: “I will ask about your career and relationship, and then what? How should I answer?”
“Yes, how should I answer.” Yun Zhi was thoughtful, he probably didn’t want to say what he wanted to say before, and just wanted to end this topic.
“Should couples show intimacy in a timely manner?” Yu Mingxia asked.
Yun Zhi was stunned and nodded.
“Then should we practice?” Yu Mingxia asked again.
“Practice… what?” Yun Zhi had a faint guess in his heart.
“Friends can hold hands and hug, which is unique to couples.” Yu Mingxia coaxed.
When he said this, Yu Mingxia even felt guilty in his heart, Yun Zhi in front of him was too innocent, especially during this time, Yun Zhi would believe everything she said.
And she has gradually become aggressive, no longer satisfied with holding hands and hugging, and wants more.
Yun Zhi pursed his lips and looked down at Yu Mingxia.
What Yu Mingxia said was exactly what she wanted to premeditate just now, but just now she felt embarrassed and wanted to cancel the premeditation.
It’s just that she didn’t expect Yu Mingxia to ask the question first.
She raised her head slightly, her lips were moist and shiny. At noon, Yun Zhi had only seen her apply lip gloss, which had a faint fragrance of grapes.
Her actions are like an invitation to Yun Zhi who is distracted at the moment.
Yun Zhi lowered his head slowly, and answered Yu Mingxia’s words with actions.
A kiss between a couple.
No one cared about the loopholes in their previous conversation, and they were all thankful that the other party didn’t notice.
No one doubted why the students would ask such questions, and why they had to prove their relationship to others.
Ignore the problem by coincidence, and move towards the same goal by coincidence.
As Yun Zhi leaned closer, Yu Mingxia’s heartbeat gradually accelerated, and she felt Yun Zhi’s fingertips resting on her face, breathing closer and closer.
Just when the two were about to kiss.
“Yu Mingxia, tell me about your situation.”
The half-open door was pushed open, and Qu Lan’s voice suddenly appeared in the office.
Yun Zhi was disturbed by Qu Lan’s voice, and quickly took two steps back.
And Qu Lan was so frightened that she couldn’t speak, she swallowed in fright.
She also understood that it was not the right time for her to come at this moment, so she quickly backed away and said, “Excuse me, excuse me, pretend I haven’t been here, you continue.”
After speaking, he closed the door incidentally.
Yun Zhi glanced at the door, then returned his gaze to Yu Mingxia, parted his lips, and couldn’t think of a word for a while.
“I…I’ll go to the twelfth floor.” Yun Zhi walked out the door.
The panic in his voice couldn’t be concealed.
It wasn’t until Yunzhi left that Yu Mingxia pursed his lips, recalling Yunzhi’s actions and expressions just now, what did she do just now to attract her? That’s why she was taken aback?
Yu Mingxia touched his lower lip lightly, remembering the way Yun Zhi looked at her just now, his lips pressed even tighter.
It wasn’t until he walked out of the office that Yun Zhi felt annoyed.
Why is she running away? She should take this opportunity to tease Yu Mingxia well.
She did not believe that Yu Mingxia had no other emotions.
What if there is no such thing?
Yun Zhi was caught in a tangle, after a while she let out a long sigh of relief, and then opened the door that was just closed again.
As soon as he opened it, he saw Yu Mingxia walking to the door.
Before she had time to speak, she heard her say, “Are you going to eat?”
Is that an understatement? don’t care?
Yun Zhi was stunned.
“It’s time to get off work,” Yu Mingxia asked again, “Should we go to the twelfth floor and eat together?”
During this period of time, the two of them commuted together, so there was no problem for Yu Mingxia to ask this question.
But to Yun Zhi’s ears at this moment, it was very ear-piercing.
Just don’t care at all?
“I won’t eat.” Yun Zhi was discouraged, turned around and wanted to leave.
The moment she turned around, Yu Mingxia suddenly grabbed her wrist, and while she was in a daze, took her hand and hugged her in his arms.
“Since you want to pretend, pretend to be a little bit more like it. Let’s practice holding hands and hugging first.”
Yun Zhi was stunned and didn’t move.
Gradually, she could no longer distinguish the boundary between friendship and love.
He didn’t even understand what the standard for friendship and love was in Yu Mingxia’s heart.
She remembered that she had taught Yu Mingxia how to get along with friends before.
I was wondering if the two of them are like this now because of what she did.
“Yu Mingxia, are you…” Yun Zhi hesitated, and stopped in the middle of speaking.
“What is it?”
“It’s nothing,” Yun Zhi left her embrace and whispered, “Actually, I’m more curious, when are you going to forget your white moonlight?”
“Why are you so curious about this question recently?” Yu Mingxia noticed her abnormality and asked.
Yun Zhi didn’t let go of Yu Mingxia’s hand. Although he said he didn’t want to eat, he still pulled her towards the elevator. After hearing this, he was silent for a few seconds, and then he said: “Didn’t we agree to help each other before?” Forget the people before? Seeing you like this, I feel sorry.”
This reason is very reasonable, Yu Mingxia lowered his eyes and said: “Don’t feel sorry.”
Then don’t plan to forget.
It is false to say that the relationship line is smooth, and it is really unbelievable.
Yun Zhi entered the elevator, and let go of Yu Mingxia’s hand by pressing the elevator’s gap.
I happened to meet other employees in the company in the elevator, and greeted the two of them, but they were all looking at the hands they held when they just came in.
Since the news about the two of them spread widely in the company, many gossip-loving employees have been quietly following their movements in private.
There are few people discussing it on the surface, but there will still be small groups chatting about the two of them in private.
Yun Zhi raised his head to look at the display screen, while Yu Mingxia turned his face to look at her.
Because of the presence of the two of them, the elevator was very quiet.
Yun Zhi didn’t go to the twelfth floor, and got off the elevator on the first floor with Yu Mingxia.
Yu Mingxia thought she was going to have dinner, so she asked her, “What do you want to eat?”
Yun Zhi didn’t look back, and said calmly: “I’m not hungry, you can eat by yourself.”
Yu Mingxia frowned, sensing the coldness in Yun Zhi’s tone.
“Then where do you want to go?” Yu Mingxia asked.
“Just walk around.”
“I’ll accompany you.”
“No.”
Even though Yun Zhi said no more, Yu Mingxia still stayed by her side, Yun Zhi was silent, Yu Mingxia didn’t speak, the two walked through a section of the street, the red light at the intersection blocked their way.
Yun Zhi stopped in front of the zebra crossing, and heard a voice in his ear: “I made you unhappy, didn’t I?”
When Yun Zhi, who was originally in a depressed mood, heard this sentence, something seemed to be broken in his heart.
Yu Mingxia cared about her, but she wasn’t sure if she cared more about others.
“It’s my problem, you don’t have to worry about it.”
She just felt frustrated and didn’t know what to do to get this thing done.
She cared more about Yu Mingxia than she imagined, and she couldn’t accept the ending of becoming strangers with Yu Mingxia.
Although she said it was her problem, Yu Mingxia still noticed something was wrong.
When Yun Zhi finished speaking, the signal light on the opposite side turned green, and people around began to pass.
When Yun Zhi was about to go over, Yu Mingxia suddenly grabbed her.
“Yun Zhi, you can tell me what I did wrong, and I can change it, but can you stop using such a distant attitude.”
It is difficult for people who have experienced warmth to accept cold again. After being close to Yun Zhi for so many days, Yu Mingxia couldn’t accept her sudden indifference.
Yu Mingxia’s sudden resignation made Yun Zhi feel overwhelmed, she really just wanted to be alone and think about what to do best.
She herself is not a person who admits defeat, and she insists on having a clear conscience about the people and things she likes.
“You’re not wrong, I just…” Yun Zhi paused, and said softly, “I just hope you can forget that person, start over, and like others again.”
Yu Mingxia took her hand looser.
“Did you know something?”
Yun Zhi was stunned, puzzled: “What?”
Seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, Yu Mingxia completely let go of her, lowered his eyes and whispered: “I promise you, start over.”
“Really?” Yun knew whether he believed it or not.
Yu Mingxia looked at her and nodded, since he didn’t know, it didn’t make any difference whether to start over or not.
After Yu Mingxia finished replying, Yun Zhicai smiled: “I heard your stomach growling, you must be hungry, let me treat you to dinner.”
It’s sunny and rainy for a while, but the ability to change the subject is number one.
But Yu Mingxia didn’t expose her, nodded and followed her.
