Chapter 216 Vanished into Nothingness (First Update!)

"Where did you learn all this stuff, you high school student?"

After seeing the photos that Gu Huai had taken and edited, Lu Yuqing still couldn't help but feel curious.

The person in the photo is clearly myself, so why is there such a big difference between the photo I took and the one taken by the other person? It's just a phone, so what's wrong?

Gu Huai shrugged.

"Just treat it as my hobby, and you can call me Teacher Gu."

"Your teacher, Teacher Chen, right?"

Gu Huai: ? ? ?
How do you know everything? Is it appropriate for such a pretty girl to use these kinds of memes? It's fine, the meme just needs to be played with, while the person playing the meme has a lot more to think about.

"Is it tasty?"

Watching Gu Huai eat with such gusto, one couldn't help but think the food looked incredibly delicious. How could hot pot smell so good?
Gu Huai nodded. "Hmm, the taste is not bad. Come to think of it, I've lived in Jicheng for so long and I never knew about this restaurant."

Lu Yuqing said with a smile, "I found it while I was just strolling around."

"You have that much free time?"

"It's alright. There are always times when I can rest. Staying at home sleeping or playing on my phone makes me feel uneasy and anxious. So I just go out for a walk. Actually, I don't do much when I go out, but it makes me feel much better."

This is something that Gu Huai himself is quite similar to.

Even the anxiety and insomnia I experienced for a long period of time were partly due to this unease, so I would take aimless walks or go downstairs to play ball to expend my energy, and in the end, I became a crazy workaholic.

"That's quite a lifestyle."

"Sigh, what kind of life is this? I feel like I'm being tortured by life in every way."

"Then why are you still so optimistic?"

"Nonsense, otherwise why would we cry to God? When people have no other choice, they can only laugh."

Looking at Lu Yuqing's helpless yet smiling expression, it was like a rose that had stubbornly grown in the cracks of a wall and could even bloom with amazing vitality.

How beautiful do roses need to be? As long as they bloom, that's enough.

Does life really need to be so dramatic? As long as you're happy, that's enough.

The hot pot restaurant was filled with steam and the sounds of conversation and laughter. Outside, the howling cold wind made the plastic door curtains rustle loudly.

A season of melancholy and sorrow.

It's unclear whether it was the cold weather that made him so enthusiastic about drinking, or the relaxed atmosphere of chatting with Lu Yuqing. After all, Gu Huai didn't need anything from her, and they had no prior interaction, so they could communicate like familiar strangers. He ended up finishing the entire bottle of strong liquor.

Next, it'll be time to beat up relatives and friends, no.

The two walked out of the hot pot restaurant. Gu Huai looked at Lu Yuqing, whose face was flushed, as she took out the keys to her electric scooter. He looked at her suspiciously.

"Are you still able to drive?"

Lu Yuqing didn't stand on ceremony at all, turning to look at Gu Huai, "If you're worried, why don't you ride?"

What are you riding? Oh, an electric scooter. I thought so.
"Let me do it. I'm really worried about you in your current condition."

The reason he looked down was fake; his real concern was for his personal safety. Although some control measures in Jicheng, a small place, were indeed inadequate and not very strict, Gu Huai felt that he should keep his safety in his own hands, seeing the other person's obviously dazed eyes.

Damn it, even if something happens, at least I won't regret it: Why wasn't I riding the bike at the time?
I'd better not say such unlucky things.

"You can ride?"

Of course, buddy, you can drive a car, right? You just haven't gotten your driver's license yet.

"It's better than your current state, don't worry."

Lu Yuqing pouted slightly, "I've noticed that you really don't trust me. We're good friends!"

"Yes, yes, we're best buddies. Isn't it good enough for a friend to help you out?"

"That's true~ You're a really nice person."

A significant drop in IQ and becoming unusually easy to coax are also signs that a woman has drunk too much.

Gu Huai straddled the electric scooter and waited for Lu Yuqing to get on.

She was quite tall, and the high-waisted jeans made her legs look especially long and straight. However, unlike the average young girl, her thighs were taut and slightly plump, while her calves were slender and well-proportioned, the overall shape resembling a wine glass.

It's the kind of thing that makes people's imaginations run wild.

Lu Yuqing was a little unsteady when she got on the bus. She almost tumbled off the other side as she got on from one side.

It was only when Gu Huai smiled and reached out his hand that the other person regained their balance.

"You said you can't drink, so why did you have to provoke me? The two of you had to finish a bottle, and now look what happened?"

Lu Yuqing retorted, unconvinced, "I'm not drunk! I'm perfectly sober!"

"Yes, yes, you're fully conscious, but your body won't cooperate, right?"

"That's right, that's it!"

"That's how it is. You'd better hold me up, I'm afraid that if I'm driving, there might suddenly be one less person in the car."

Gu Huai even considered finding a rope to tie her to the back seat for safety.

"Is that so?"

Lu Yuqing didn't know whether she misunderstood Gu Huai's meaning or was not in a state of clear-headed control of her behavior. She seemed to hesitate as she reached out her hands, but the next moment she gently hugged Gu Huai's waist and put her hands into Gu Huai's pockets.

Gu Huai: ? ? ?
Good grief, I was just trying to be nice and help you ride your bike, and you're taking advantage of this innocent boys' high school? That's a different price!
What's even more alarming is that after Lu Yuqing did this, she didn't seem to think anything of it. Instead, she comfortably exclaimed, "It's so warm. Is this what high school students are like? Hehehe." "You sound like a pervert right now, really."

"Hahaha, you're the pervert! You should be secretly thrilled to be hugged by a pretty girl like me. You've never experienced what it feels like to have a girl sitting in the back seat with her arms around your waist, have you?"

Gu Huai glanced at the other person's status in the rearview mirror, then turned the car around to start driving, casually saying, "I'm going to take the route with the most intersections, and then brake suddenly at every intersection. I'll brake suddenly at red lights and I'll brake suddenly at green lights."

"are you crazy!"

She pinched the soft flesh of her waist and abdomen with her small hand in her pocket.

Of course, the movements look more like measuring one's own muscle definition.

"Hold on tight, I'm starting."

"Drive! Drive towards the sea! Drive towards the snow-capped mountains! Drive towards the universe! Drive towards heaven!"

"Shut up, I'm so young, I don't want to die with you."

"Then we can only wait until we're old and die together."

"Hahaha, you're crazy."

This woman was strangely compatible with him, which seemed to be one of the reasons why the two met—it was fate.

The car weaved through the darkness, passing through the streets and alleys of Jicheng, a small city.

A cold wind was blowing, making my nose a little red and my eyes feel like they were being smoked. But it also helped to dispel some of the effects of the alcohol. Although it wasn't the kind of weather that would make riding an electric scooter very comfortable, there was a strange sense of freedom in the feeling of passing through the wind and frost of the night.

This is probably why some people would prefer to buy an expensive motorcycle rather than drive a safer car.
I don't know, but Gu Huai seems to value his life a lot.

So the speed wouldn't be very fast, and naturally, it's impossible to really brake suddenly to feel the curves of the young girl behind you.

On the way, Lu Yuqing suddenly pressed close to his back from behind.

Gu Huai felt her face pressed against the back of his shoulder and neck, and her hands tightened their grip, seemingly as a natural movement to seek warmth as the temperature gradually dropped.

Although we can't see her exact movements from behind, or what the scene will look like, that's precisely what makes it interesting. Because we can't see it, we can imagine it, which makes us even more curious.

Then I heard her soft voice.

"Hey, Gu Huai."

"what happened?"

"Am I funny?"

In this era, the category of "comedic girl" doesn't seem to be very clear, and the other party obviously doesn't fit that category, so Gu Huai wasn't joking around.

Why do you think that?

"Because I always talk about pursuing my dreams, but I can't even get started. Now I'm stuck in this small city, yet I fantasize about one day soaring to great heights. Sometimes I think about it before I go to sleep and it makes me laugh."

She spoke softly, nestled against the boy's strangely reliable back. It even felt like being back in a warm room, sleeping on a familiar pillow.

It can make people let down their guard during the day, open their hearts, and also expose some vulnerabilities.

Don't try to convince yourself with optimism; be honest with the fact that you're not actually that optimistic.

Boys at this age are definitely more interesting—clean-up, sunny, and harmless.

"What's going on?"

Start with the universal formula.

When the other person feels inexplicably speechless, so speechless that they almost want to laugh.

The boy's voice drifted away on the wind.

"It's funny if it's funny, it's ridiculous if it's ridiculous. How can ordinary people like us achieve our goals easily without paying or being questioned? Some slopes are more enjoyable to climb up the more you fall down."

"Hmm? So you're an M."

"Bullshit, I wear XXL."

"Hahaha, who told you that?"

"Nonsense, otherwise, would I just put up with you making lewd jokes to an innocent guy like me?"

Lu Yuqing is good in every way, except that she looks fair-skinned, but when you cut her open, she's probably all yellow.

"You're still so innocent, tsk tsk tsk."

"It's okay, I understand. I do have a very deceptive face, and no one believes my inner innocence and kindness, which is one of my troubles."

"No way, Gu Huai, do you have any shame?"

"Thank you, but I don't accept human organs."

"Hahahahaha."

Laughter echoed in the darkness.

What power do words possess that can easily dispel a person's inner anxieties? Of course, it's very difficult.

But being able to temporarily forget your troubles, even just for one night, is better than doing nothing at all.

Even if you just walk around the street once, it will vanish into thin air.
