Film and TV: Starting from childhood, I will give up Zhong Yi

Chapter 126 You Started the Fire

Julie looked out the window at the inky black night, took a long breath, and pressed the power button on her cell phone.

Although she didn't want to pay attention to Su Mingcheng at the moment, it was still necessary to say hello to her parents. She didn't want to scare her parents.

As soon as the cell phone was turned on, the ringtone started to ring rapidly. It was Zhu's mother calling.

Zhu's mother asked anxiously, "Lili, where are you? Why couldn't I get through to you when I called you just now? Mingcheng just asked me if you were back. What's going on?"

Hearing her mother's anxious tone, Julie's nose felt sore and she almost burst into tears. Lin Yuan was really meticulous. She was secretly glad that she listened to Lin Yuan's advice, otherwise she didn't know how long her mother would be anxious.

Zhu Li quickly calmed down and comforted her, "Mom, it's nothing, we just had a quarrel. I'm staying in a hotel outside, don't worry."

Mother Zhu's voice was full of concern and worry: "Where do you live? I'll ask your father to pick you up first."

"Oh, Mom, it's too late. Don't bother my dad. I'm not a child anymore."

Thinking of what Lin Yuan said, Zhu Li decided not to bother her father. She had been a good girl since she was young, and she didn't want her parents to misunderstand her again.

Zhu's mother advised earnestly, "Then you should also tell Mingcheng, so that he won't worry."

"If he was worried, he wouldn't have watched me come out. Oh, I'm sleepy. I won't talk to you anymore."

"Hey, Lili..." Before Zhu's mother could say something else, Zhu Li had already hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Zhu's father came over and asked, "What's wrong with my daughter?"

Mother Zhu slowly put down the phone, sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "She said she had a quarrel with Mingcheng and is staying in a hotel tonight."

"This Su Mingcheng, I must have a good talk with him someday."

……

Seeing Lin Yuan busy outside the car, Zhu Li felt that she couldn't just sit in the car.

Lin Yuan came all the way back to take me back. How could I let Lin Yuan do all the work alone while I hide in the car with a clear conscience?

She opened the car door and a gust of cold wind blew in instantly, and the chill hit her face. Julie couldn't help but shiver.

She was wearing open-toed stiletto high heels, and the country path was bumpy. Before she could take two steps, her heels sank deeply into a pit and she fell directly into the weeds. The grass leaves pricked her cheeks and hurt.

After hearing the noise, Lin Yuan hurried to her side, squatted down, and spoke in a gentle voice, but it was not a word of concern: "Why are you so stupid?"

"You're stupid."

Julie was already badly beaten from the fall, feeling both pain and embarrassment, and when she heard this, she immediately pouted and retorted.

Not only does he not care about me, he even mocks me.

Lin Yuan looked at her pitiful appearance and did not offer to help her up. He just continued to squat on the ground, holding her shoulders with one hand to help her steady her body, and slowly reaching out with the other hand to pinch her small and delicate chin.

He leaned forward slightly, his face moved a little closer, and looked carefully at Julie's delicate face.

"Let me check if there are any scratches on your face."

Julie felt her heart beating like a drum, even more violently than when she fell.

The hot air exhaled by Lin Yuan gently brushed across her cheek. Her beautiful, hazy eyes were shy and timid, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. She was a little afraid to look him in the eye and closed her eyes shyly.

Lin Yuan looked at Zhu Li's expression and felt something in his heart, thinking that she was hinting at him.

He lowered his head slightly and slowly kissed Julie's soft lips.

With a light touch, like a dragonfly touching the water, they quickly separated. The touch was like the most delicate petals in spring, slightly moist and smooth.

"What are you doing?" Julie seemed to have just woken up from a dream. She wiped her lips hurriedly, her cheeks flushed, and emotions such as embarrassment, shame, and anger flashed in her eyes.

This delicate and good-family temperament made Lin Yuan feel itchy.

He blinked his eyes and put on an innocent expression, his eyes full of apology, and explained softly and sincerely: "You closed your eyes, I thought you wanted to... I don't want you to be sad either."

Zhu Li frowned slightly and said coquettishly: "I didn't!"

Lin Yuan teased: "What do you mean by closing your eyes?"

"I, I..." Julie was so confused that she was speechless and didn't know how to explain.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he moved closer again. His face quickly enlarged in Zhu Li's eyes. Zhu Li hurriedly and shyly used her hand to block his lips.

She cried tenderly, "I didn't mean that."

Lin Yuan raised his lips to smile slightly, and gave her a light kiss on the palm of her hand. Zhu Li felt as if she had been electrocuted, and she quickly retracted her hand, her eyes filled with shyness and helplessness.

"I'll be really angry if you do this again." Julie bit her lower lip and looked away. Her cheeks were still hot. Even in the dark night, the crimson color was still faintly visible.

Lin Yuan's mouth corners slightly raised, which clearly meant that he was not angry yet.

His eyes were still lingering on Julie's face. Looking at her shy expression with her head down, he was reminded of a poem by Xu Zhimo: The most gentle thing is that lowered head, like a water lotus that is shy in the cool breeze.

Lin Yuan slowly raised his hand and gently covered it. His palm was warm, and his fingertips caressed her delicate skin. He chuckled and said, "Let me see. I'm lucky. There are no scratches on your face."

That deep and magnetic voice gently touched Julie's heartstrings in the quiet night.

Hearing this, Julie felt relieved.

If her face was scratched, she would cry because of her own stupidity.

Julie got off the car in a hurry and didn't have time to put on her coat. She was shivering in the cold wind.

Lin Yuan took off his suit jacket, gently and carefully put it on her, and carefully adjusted the collar. He asked softly, "Can you get up now?"

As he spoke, he firmly grasped her slender waist with one hand, and with the other hand, he grasped Julie's right hand, exerted a little force, and gently pulled her up.

Lin Yuan looked concerned: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Julie shook her head. When she fell just now, her butt hit the ground hard and she almost cried out in pain. Fortunately, the pain has gradually faded away and she doesn't feel it anymore.

"That's good. If you break something, someone will feel bad for you."

Zhu Li felt that Lin Yuan was talking about himself, but she had no evidence.

Lin Yuan supported her and walked steadily to the front of the car: "Hold the light for me, I'll see what's wrong?"

Occasionally, the barking of dogs could be heard from afar, echoing in the empty fields. The grass on the roadside rustled in the breeze, and from time to time, rustling sounds could be heard from it, as if small animals were playing and running around.

This made Julie very nervous, but even so, she had no intention of going back into the car.

Lin Yuan was observing carefully in front of the hood. Zhu Li couldn't understand anything at all. She just grabbed the corner of Lin Yuan's clothes and turned on the light according to his instructions.

After a long time, Lin Yuan straightened up and said with sudden enlightenment:

"It turns out that a part inside it fell off. It's really strange. Lately, things have been falling out of the car for no apparent reason. Last time, I put a pair of stockings in the car to be sent for quality inspection, and I don't know where they fell off?"

When Julie heard this, her already beautiful eyes suddenly widened in astonishment.

Didn’t you say last time that it was a gift specially brought for yourself?

She still remembers how she felt at the time, embarrassed and surprised.

But she is too embarrassed to talk about it now.

"What should we do?"

Lin Yuan calmly responded: "I have extra in the trunk of my car, just put it in."

As he said that, he raised his leg and walked towards the trunk of the car.

"I, I'll go with you."

Zhu Li's voice was timid. She was a little scared. She held Lin Yuan's arm and slowly moved towards the trunk.

She always felt that there were all kinds of scary little animals in the country paths and weeds.

Arriving at the trunk, Lin Yuan raised the corners of his mouth and asked her with a teasing smile: "How old are you?"

Julie blinked and looked at him curiously without answering.

"You feel like a twenty-year-old girl."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he opened the trunk and pretended to search for a while before finding a screw. In fact, this was just a trick to trick Julie. If she had been a little more careful, she would not have been fooled.

When walking back, Zhu Li still held Lin Yuan's arm tightly, fearing that she would step on some scary little thing where she stepped.

Lin Yuan took out a few teething sticks from the storage space, raised his arm, and threw them into the field not far away without leaving a trace. The domestic and wild dogs in the countryside smelled the delicious smell and immediately barked, and some even rushed in this direction.

"Ah! Dog! There's a dog!" Julie shrank into Lin Yuan's arms like a frightened rabbit, her body shaking uncontrollably.

Knowing that Julie was afraid of dogs, how could he not make preparations? This "little episode" was something he had done on purpose.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh. Was this joke a bit too much? I seemed to be the worst one...

He gently caressed Julie's back and said softly, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

I kept repeating to myself, I will save you from fire and water, but don’t ask where the fire and water come from.

He took the opportunity to hug Julie tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

I don’t know how much time had passed, perhaps the toothpaste had been taken away by some wild dogs, the field gradually returned to calm, with only the rustling sound of the breeze blowing through the grass.

Zhu Li recovered slightly and patted Lin Yuan's chest gently, "It seems that the dog is gone."

Lin Yuan, however, acted as if he didn't hear anything and still held Julie tightly.

"Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan! Let me go." Zhu Li was embarrassed and anxious, her cheeks flushed red, and her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

Lin Yuan lowered his head, put his lips on her delicate earlobe, and said in a low and magnetic voice: "It was obviously you who hugged me first, and now you want to let go?"

"Just now it was because of the dog, and I didn't hug you, I just..."

Lin Yuan was very stubborn: "I don't care."

Julie had no choice but to just hug him. It wasn't the first time he took advantage of her after all.

The two of them hugged each other like this for another two minutes. Julie felt increasingly embarrassed and speechless. She raised her head slightly, frowned slightly, and asked with a bit of coquettishness and impatience, "How long are you going to hold me?"

Lin Yuan pretended to be in pain, his breathing was a little rapid, and he pleaded: "Hello, Lili~"

Julie said with a hint of anger and shyness: "Don't call me that!"

"Help."

As he spoke, he rubbed his body towards Julie again.

Julie felt the burning sensation in her abdomen. She was no naive girl, so she guessed his intention immediately and said firmly, "No!"

"But I feel bad."

Zhu Li spat lightly, her face red as if bleeding, avoiding Lin Yuan's fiery gaze, biting her lower lip: "Bah, what does it have to do with me?"

"You were the one who started the fight. How come it's none of your business?" Lin Yuan bit her earlobe, his warm breath sprinkled on her ear, and he said again: "No one will know."

"I, I can't." Julie refused with a trembling voice.

Although she was very disappointed with what Su Mingcheng said today, and although she had a slight, no, just a little bit of affection for Lin Yuan, she couldn't...

While Zhu Li was still daydreaming, Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he leaned over slightly. His left hand quickly and accurately passed through her knees. At the same time, he put his right hand around her back and gently lifted Zhu Li up steadily.

Zhu Li felt her body suddenly lighten, and instinctively, she put her arms around Lin Yuan's neck.

Lin Yuan only knew that what Julie said was 'I can't', not 'no'.

How could he not hear such a subtle difference?

Lin Yuan supported Zhu Li's knee with one hand, opened the car door with his left hand, gently put Zhu Li in, and then sat in the car swiftly.

Lin Yuan gently lifted Zhu Li's feet, placed them on his legs, and held her delicate and slender ankles.

This pair of high heels was extremely delicately designed, with only two thin straps. Lin Yuan moved his fingers nimbly and took them off.

Julie's toes, painted with sparkling red nail polish, were exposed to the air. The bright color was like ripe cherries or carefully polished pearls, making her feet look white and graceful.

Julie couldn't help but curl up her beautiful toes like peeling onions, and her little feet struggled slightly in his hands.

After half an hour.

"Lili~" Lin Yuan called softly.

Zhu Li had a cold face, her chest heaving slightly with anger, and she didn't want to pay any more attention to Lin Yuan.

She felt that she had been really cheated today.

But reason told her that she couldn't blame Lin Yuan entirely.

I was going back to my parents' home and happened to meet Lin Yuan on the way.

I was so excited about complaining that I forgot to find the way home.

I fell to the ground because I wanted to get out of the car to help, and Lin Yuan came to help me.

It was the barking of a wild dog that frightened her so much that she shrank into Lin Yuan's arms.

But no matter what, Lin Yuan couldn't treat himself like this in the end.

Thinking of this, Zhu Li became a little angry, and impulsively wanted to stuff her bright red toes into Lin Yuan's mouth.

"Cough cough."

Even Lin Yuan himself had never thought that Zhu Li, who was usually gentle and reserved, would behave like this.

Seeing Lin Yuan's frustrated look, Zhu Li's resentment finally subsided a little, and then the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile: "You also know what disgusting is?"

Lin Yuan was not angry. He just moved closer and kissed her red lips.

After Lin Yuan succeeded, he quickly withdrew, with a smile on his face, and said confidently: "You were the first to start, no, you kicked."

Julie kept wiping her lips with the back of her hand, wishing she could wipe off a layer of skin from her lips. She said with disgust, "Oh my, you're so disgusting!"

Lin Yuan put on a satisfied smile, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the car refreshed.

He had to continue pretending to fix the car.

But this time, Julie didn't get out of the car to help.

Lin Yuan lingered outside the car for two minutes, performing the car repair act to perfection, and then returned to the car.

As soon as he sat down, he asked knowingly, "Why don't you sit in the front?"

The tone rose slightly, with a bit of deliberate curiosity. In fact, he just wanted to tease Julie and see how she would react.

"What do you care where I sit?"

Seeing this, Lin Yuan curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely noticeable chuckle. Being angry at himself was exactly what he wanted to see. If there was really no reaction at all, that would be a really bad thing.

The car drove along the way and there were no problems this time. Lin Yuan drove towards his home.

Lin Yuan sneezed several times in a row.

Zhu Li looked up subconsciously. Lin Yuan gave her his coat because he was afraid that she would catch a cold. He only had a thin white shirt on, which looked a little thin and cold in the dim carriage.

Zhu Li wanted to show concern, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. She didn't want Lin Yuan to misunderstand that she had any special feelings for him.

Just like that, both of them fell into silence, and no one spoke again.

As the car drove on, Julie's nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed. Sleepiness slowly came over her like a tide, and she actually closed her eyes.

As soon as the car stopped, Zhu Li opened her eyes dazedly, looked outside, and suddenly woke up and blurted out: "Isn't this my home?"

Zhu Li had originally planned to find a hotel near her home to spend the night after Lin Yuan sent her home.

"Of course this is not your home, it's my home. It's so late, your parents must be asleep, you can stay here with me for the night."

"Then I'll stay in a hotel."

Julie responded without hesitation, picked up her bag and got out of the car.

Lin Yuan quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, and quickly chased after him, saying, "Why did you spend that money? Besides, look at your clothes, they are in such a mess. What will you say when your parents ask you about it? I have some women's clothes at home, so you can change into them."

To reassure Julie, he added, "I just finished it. I am powerless even though I want to."

Zhu Li listened to what Lin Yuan said, looked down at her dirty clothes, and thought about it carefully. She felt that it made sense.

Damn it! She clearly didn't want to get entangled with Lin Yuan anymore.
