Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 191 Red Temperature
It's not like the two of them haven't had any intimate actions.

Ever since he impersonated Xu Ruochu's boyfriend, the two of them did hug each other's arms or link hands when they went to some occasions.

But... this time it's different.

The occasion is wrong.

The behavior...is not right either.

But she didn't let go.

After stopping Lu Yao from talking, she naturally changed from hugging his arms to holding hands.

Holding Lu Yao’s hand, we continued walking forward.

It only takes a few seconds.

But she felt her face burning.

To be honest, Xu Ruochu couldn't remember the last time he felt embarrassed, awkward, impulsive, regretful, and so on... Oh yes, it seemed to be last night.

Thinking of the kiss last night, she felt her face getting even hotter.

This heat is like a burning stove at home.

And her brain was like the kettle that Lu Yao had placed on the stove last night.

The stove continued to heat up, causing the kettle to begin to boil little by little.

They were clearly walking hand in hand, but she was at a loss, not knowing what to do next or where to go.

But very happy.

But I don’t know what I’m happy about.

But in her happiness, there was also a feeling of fear at work, so much so that she could feel the touch left on her fingertips and the warmth in the other's palm, but she didn't even dare to raise her head and didn't have the courage to look at him.

Extremely contradictory.

Lu Yao is actually also contradictory.

Because, from last night till now, Chu Jie's behavior has gone beyond the scope of ordinary friends.

Holding her hand, Lu Yao actually felt that he should say something.

The entry point may be your girlfriend or yourself.

I don't want to ruin my girlfriend's relationship with her.

Or maybe it's not good for the two of us to be like this...all sorts of things.

He really wanted to say it.

In other words, if he had talked to her carefully, the two of them wouldn't have had to reach this awkward situation.

However, he noticed a detail.

That is... the woman who was holding his hand and standing half a body in front of him, her face and neck were already red.

It’s really red.

A red I've never seen before.

Like a cooked prawn.

He had only seen that kind of red on people who were allergic to alcohol.

Red is totally abnormal.

You know, she didn't drink any alcohol at noon. But at this moment, her face and neck were so red, and her whole body must have changed color.

So... unconsciously, he thought of a question.

Or in other words, I understood her feelings.

She must be very embarrassed now.

How embarrassed must she be to have changed from someone who rarely lost her composure in her own eyes and who always looked dignified and beautiful wherever she went to someone like this?

This is SKP, the most luxurious shopping mall in Yanjing and one of the most visited shopping malls.

Just the two of them were walking on this road, and there were countless guests walking back and forth.

and……

Perhaps because her face was too rosy, it attracted a lot of people's attention.

Inexplicably, Lu Yao remembered a sentence. I forgot where I saw it, but it said, "When you go out, you give others face by yourself."

He could completely let go of her hand now and say something like "Sister Chu, this isn't right for us."

But he could feel the boiling temperature in his palms... He knew that, after all, he couldn't bear to cause her any "embarrassment" in any sense.

If I let go of her hand, she would be very embarrassed.

This is true in every sense of the word.

Even though she might not care about the people around her, she must feel embarrassed in her heart.

Lu Yao didn't want this to happen.

From her personal life, to her help to the family, to their daily interactions...

He found that he couldn't do it at all.

Even though he had thought of his girlfriend at this moment, he still couldn't do it.

After all, I don't want to embarrass you.

Looking at the beautiful figure that looked like a cooked shrimp, he sighed quietly. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw the elevator leading to the underground floor.

Suddenly I had an idea.

It was also when Xu Ruochu was most embarrassed and timid that he pulled Xu Ruochu.

"Sister Chu."

Holding her hand, Lu Yao pointed directly at the elevator:
"Shall we go get a drink?"

Having said that, he pulled her directly to the basement floor.

This time, he surpassed the opponent by half a body length.

He naturally pulled her and went straight to the basement floor.

As he walked, he turned his head slightly and said casually:
"Yanjing is actually quite dry, not as dry as our place."

"..."

Xu Ruochu, who was originally in a red-hot state, was stunned.

But... perhaps it was because I could see Lu Yao's profile, I saw that he didn't resist, didn't refuse, and didn't look at me. Instead, he pulled me while staring at the front.

Finally, the red-warm state began to fade.

Instead, there was an inexplicable feeling.

Very happy, but... a little confused.

I can’t explain it, it’s just weird.

But she still responded:
"...Yeah, it's pretty good."

"What do you want to drink?"

As they were talking, Lu Yao had already pulled her hand onto the escalator.

"I……"

How could she think about what to drink at this moment?
At this time...

"Hello, please make way for me, thank you."

Hearing the noise behind him, Lu Yao turned his head to look at the person who was in a hurry to go downstairs, nodded, took the initiative to go down an escalator step, and pulled Xu Ruochu aside.

Make way for this person.

At the same time, the two finally looked into each other's eyes.

Xu Ruochu's first reaction was to dodge.

Avoided Lu Yao's gaze.

But in the next second, Lu Yao raised his free hand and touched her still hot cheek with his fingers.

He touched it and said softly:
"Then see if there's any scented tea for sale. Your lips are a little dry."

"..."

Xu Ruochu shuddered instinctively.

Subconsciously pursed her lips.

The hotpot meal she just had naturally consumed most of the lipstick she had applied.

When she heard Lu Yao say this, her first reaction was that she didn't want him to see her "imperfections", so she quickly wanted to look through her handbag and take out her lipstick to touch up her makeup.

But the problem is...the two of them are holding hands now.

Even Xu Ruochu herself had to admit that she didn't know if she would have the courage to hold it again after letting go.

But... Lu Yao suddenly let go:
"Did you get the lipstick?"

"...No, I have...I have lipstick."

As soon as Xu Ruochu finished stammering, a feeling of loss and anxiety surged in his heart.

But the next second, he suddenly felt his hand being held by someone again.

"That's it, forget it."

Lu Yao shook his head slightly, took her hand, and took the bag she was carrying in her other hand.

"I'm going to buy a lipstick later. I heard that lipstick is made from the corpses of a certain kind of insect... So how dare you put something made from the corpses of insects on your lips? Especially if you swallow a little bit... You will definitely swallow it, right? Don't you feel disgusted?"

"Uh……"

The joy of regaining what she had lost, Lu Yao's natural rhythm of conversation, and the guiding topics all calmed her heart down in an instant.

It can even be said that the sanity that had been completely destroyed is gradually returning.

She smiled, and stepped forward in sync with Lu Yao. After getting off the elevator, she looked at the bustling crowd on the underground first floor and said:

"That depends on your definition of beauty."

Lu Yao looked at the various stalls and asked:
"How to say?"

"Then do you know the origin of high heels?"

"It's said to be Paris? It seems that people at that time did this to prevent themselves from stepping on shit?"

“…How disgusting.”

"Ha~"

Lu Yao smiled and shrugged, then pulled her and pointed forward:
"There's a lemon tea stall over there, go check it out."

There were many people and he was in front. Xu Ruochu was pulled by him and protected. While squeezing through the crowd, he stared at Lu Yao's profile.

The smile on the corners of his mouth became sweeter at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And the topic of high heels just came to an end.

What is the original origin of high heels? In fact, it is not important to the two of them.

Lu Yao just didn't want to embarrass her anymore and just wanted her to return to her natural state.

……

"Hmm, this tea is delicious... would you like to try it?"

Sitting at a small table in this lemon tea bar, Lu Yao shook his head slightly when he heard Xu Ruochu's words.

It’s just a straw… forget it.

But his excuse was very good:
"No, the rose flavor... It always feels a little too dark. Especially since it's milk tea, forget it."

As he spoke, he tore off the soft skin on the chestnut and handed the golden, warm chestnut with a sweet aroma to her mouth.

"Taste it."

"..."

Looking at the chestnuts handed to her mouth, Xu Ruochu's face turned slightly red, but she still subconsciously smoothed the hair by her ears with her hands and lowered her head.

Sweet, soft and sticky.

"Is it delicious?"

"Ok!"

She narrowed her eyes and smiled. She bought it from the stall that specializes in roasted chestnuts next to the lemon tea bar.

Just out of the pan, still hot.

Lu Yao also nodded with a smile and continued to peel the chestnuts.

Xu Ruochu held her cup of rose milk tea, her eyes wandering between Lu Yao, the customers who came to the store, and the passers-by A, B, C, and D who passed by the door. She moved back and forth.

Until the next chestnut was handed to her mouth.

"You eat too."

Lu Yao shrugged casually:

"My rich sister just spent 200,000 or 300,000 yuan to support me, so I have to serve her well, right?"

“Puff…cough cough cough cough…”

Before Xu Ruochu could say anything, the person sitting at the small table next to them seemed to be choked.

They were a couple who looked to be around 40 years old.

should be.

And the one who was choked was that man.

His reaction was obviously that he had heard this...

Lu Yao felt a little embarrassed.

He just said it casually out of spite and forgot that there were people around him.

The eldest brother covered his mouth with a tissue and turned his head quickly, avoiding Xu Ruochu's sight awkwardly.

Instead it was the older sister sitting opposite him.

The elder sister's eyes swept over Lu Yao, Hermes, Lu Yao's hand, Ban Li and Xu Ruochu's hand in turn.

Before I could look away, I saw the handsome guy I was looking at just now smiling politely at me:

"Don't get me wrong, this is my girlfriend. I was just joking."

"Uh... um."

The elder sister was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Ruochu, whose face was already red, and nodded with a smile.

But deep down, she had already realized that the girl sitting next to her was indeed rich.

the reason is simple.

Hermès, anyone can buy it.

But those delicate and fair hands are definitely not something that an ordinary person who can work can possess.

White, delicate and smooth.

There is no embellishment, even the nails are transparent and have a maintenance style.

But the more this happens, the more graceful the girl appears.

not bad.

So, the eldest sister took the initiative to ask:
"Aren't you from Yanjing?"

Lu Yao smiled and nodded:
"Well, I'm from the Magic City, and I'm here for tourism."

"Where have they all gone?"

"I haven't been anywhere yet. I just came here yesterday and had a roast duck meal. I had mutton hotpot for lunch today... I realized I didn't bring enough clothes, so I came to buy some clothes first... Do you have any recommendations?"

Lu Yao's gentle attitude and that face that has a certain lethality to women of any age are indeed very eye-catching.

After hearing this, the eldest sister smiled and said:

"Hongluo Temple. Do you know?"

"Uh... I don't know. What place is that?"

"The place to pray for marriage is in Huairou. It's very effective. You can go there to pray. There are many ancient temples in Huairou, all of them are very good..."

While the elder sister was speaking, Lu Yao noticed the string of beads on her wrist.

It seems that he is a very devout Buddhist.

And the elder brother also spoke:

"The rest are actually those tourist attractions, such as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, or Houhai, which you young people like to go to... It's actually just the beginning of spring, and there aren't many fun places in Yanjing. But if you go to the Great Wall, remember to wear more clothes, it's still cold there..."

"Yeah, I see. Thank you."

After hearing Lu Yao's words, the elder brother and sister nodded slightly and said no more.

In fact, sometimes the adult world is so tacit.

The two of them obviously knew that if the couple was interested in the attractions they recommended, they would probably ask a few more questions.

But now they just politely said they knew and expressed their gratitude, but did not ask any more questions. This shows that they must have their own ideas.

Then there is no need to say more.

At this time, Lu Yao noticed Xu Ruochu who hadn't said a word... At one glance, he knew that the other party was probably feeling a little uncomfortable at the moment.

It was probably caused by what I just said.

So he took the initiative to say:

"Let's go?"

"……Um."

Xu Ruochu nodded immediately.

So, the two of them stood up.

Lu Yao carried the shopping bags and her bag in one hand, then stretched out the other hand towards her.

Xu Ruochu took the lead tacitly, nodded politely to the two older brothers and sisters, and then walked out with Lu Yao.

After the elder brother and sister watched the two of them leave, the man finally uttered a sound of approval:
"Yeah, they're quite a good match."

There was a bit of envy and melancholy in the eldest sister's eyes.

If the spring breeze has pity for flowers...

Ugh.

I'm old.

……

"Sister Chu, shall we go to the movies?"

Looking at the poster of Liu Yifei in front of the elevator that goes directly from the B4 floor to the th floor, Lu Yao suddenly said.

Xu Ruochu's attention also fell on the poster.

After taking a look, he asked:
"Do you like Liu Yifei?"

"It's OK. I like Zhao Linger very much."

"…You guys."

She shook her head with emotion and said:
"Then do you know that the investors of this movie are Song Yufei and his group?"

"……what?"

This time, Lu Yao was really a little surprised.

The movie in front of the two people is called "A Chinese Ghost Story", Liu Yifei's version.

To be honest, Lu Yao had never seen it in his previous life.

But I've heard of it.

Under normal circumstances, he might not even look at it.

But now... he has a watch worth more than 200,000 yuan and clothes worth 40,000 or 50,000 yuan... He thought to himself that if he continued like this, God knew how much money he would have to spend.

Naturally, I wanted to find a quick way to kill time.

That's why I came up with this idea.

With such great performances by Zhang Guorong and Wang Zuxian, no matter how bad this movie is, it can’t be that bad, right?
But he really didn't know that it was Fei Ge who invested in it.

Looking at Lu Yao's surprised expression, Xu Ruochu pressed the elevator button and said:
"If you want to meet him in person, just tell him. These so-called celebrities beg to have a meal with him or his brother every year."

"forget it."

Lu Yao sighed and shook his head:

"If I really saw the Zhao Linger in my mind nodding and bowing to Brother Fei and serving tea and water... I really couldn't stand it."

Xu Ruochu couldn't help but smile:
"Xiao Chen also said this."

Lu Yao's back suddenly tightened.

I thought to myself, you really are just bringing up things that are not relevant to the topic.

For some reason, a picture appeared in my mind of Mr. Xu, wearing sky blue denim overalls, with dyed orange hair and a red nose, holding a kitchen knife in his left hand and a balloon in his right hand, staring at me and smiling.

That scene... was too horrifying.

In an instant, his palms began to sweat.

"?"

Xu Ruochu was stunned.

Because she felt the wetness in her palms.

I looked up subconsciously and saw Lu Yao looking distracted.

What's going on here?
She couldn't help but start thinking, and then she seemed to understand something...

It turned out to be the case.

Don't mention Xiaochen's name...

Then... Sister Xiaoli’s name cannot be mentioned either.

She understood a lot in her heart and felt the sensation coming between her palms, but did not let go.

Ding.

Elevator arrives.

Including the two of them, the waiting guests walked into the elevator together.

A lot of people came up.

Gradually, Lu Yao and she were pushed into a corner.

Lu Yao leaned against the wall to make some space for her.

Xu Ruochu did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Just tilt your head slightly.

Lu Yao was looking at the shopping mall outside the transparent elevator glass.

And she was looking at him.

Moreover, given her height and the fact that she was wearing high heels today, her breath when she tilted her head back went along Lu Yao's neck and into his clothes.

Unconsciously, Lu Yao felt a little itchy.

But he didn't bow his head.

Because the distance between two people is very close, if I lower my head... it will be very easy for something to go wrong.

But as he was thinking about it, suddenly, his eyes widened the next second.

"Ding."

The elevator reaches the 2nd floor.

A passenger is getting out.

Xu Ruochu put her fingers on Lu Yao's neck as if nothing had happened and helped him wipe off the remaining lipstick.

but……

The more you rub it, the redder it gets.

from head to foot.

This time it is Lu Yaohongwen's turn.
