half thorns, half joy

The lounge area is small, with a coffee table in the center surrounded by leather sofas.Cai Lin supported Deng Langyue to sit on the sofa.

The waiter stood at the door and asked the two of them respectfully, "Excuse me, is there anything else I need?"

Cai Lin glanced at Deng Langyue, who was bending over and beating her legs lightly, and shook her head, "It's okay, you can go to work."

The waiter nodded slightly, left the lounge, and closed the door by the way.

The lounge area is not big, Cai Lin was standing next to Deng Langyue, it would be a bit embarrassing if she walked to the side to sit.So after hesitating for a few seconds, Cai Lin sat down beside Deng Langyue.

However, she still moved a little away, and after a safe distance of more than ten centimeters from Deng Langyue, she turned her head, looked at Deng Langyue and asked, "Does your leg... still hurt?"

"It's much better." Deng Langyue leaned back on the sofa. He straightened his legs and stretched himself as much as possible, looking very relaxed.

But in fact, his tense calves were shaking.

He knew what he was going to say, maybe it was fun, maybe it was funny, in short, he couldn't make the atmosphere awkward, but the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't say anything.

After all, the famous young son of the Deng family, when he goes out to parties and participates in the game, others will support him, and others will tell him what is good. He never cares about such a minor person as warming up.

So he, who was inexperienced, opened his mouth and couldn't make a complete syllable from his throat.

After another five minutes of silence, Deng Langyue's Adam's apple rolled up and down a few times. He turned his head and asked Cai Lin pretending to be casual: "You're recent, how are you?"

After asking a few words, he secretly scolded himself in his heart.

This question is too stupid.

Too stupid.

Cai Lin obviously didn't expect such a polite greeting to come from someone like Deng Langyue, she froze for a moment, nodded, and answered very politely.

"……fine."

"En." Deng Langyue let out a breath, and fell silent again.

Deng Langyue's mood was very delicate. Ever since he could remember, he had no good impression of love.What he remembers about love are his mother's crying and his uncle's indifferent ridicule.

His father who disappeared without a trace after he was born made him full of doubts about the union of men and women.

Because of his status as the youngest son of the Deng family, the girls around him loved him, and because of his mother's depression, he instinctively couldn't be more interested in girls.Therefore, my adolescence was without any turmoil, and my life was very decadent and corrupt.

But at this moment, Deng Langyue, in her early twenties, suddenly had the turbulent, uneasy, nervous and apprehensive mood of an adolescent boy.

For the first time in his life, just because he was sitting next to a girl, he was at a loss and didn't even know what to say.

This feeling is very dangerous, like being on a tightrope, tense and exciting, he doesn't know if he will be doomed if he goes on, but he can't help it.

Every pore of his body was trembling due to the novelty of this experience.

Cai Lin secretly looked at Deng Langyue who was staring at the air in a daze. She had never seen such a quiet Deng Langyue. She couldn't help being a little puzzled and a little surprised.

Because Deng Langyue left the hospital suddenly, her negative evaluation of Deng Langyue was once again overturned by herself.

perhaps……

Deng Langyue is not the kind of person who just likes to have fun.Cai Lin looked at Deng Langyue's profile and thought to herself.

"What's the matter?" Deng Langyue regained consciousness, realized that Cai Lin was looking at him, and turned to ask Cai Lin.

Cai Lin blushed immediately when she was caught peeping.

"No... nothing..."

Now, the atmosphere became more and more awkward.

But there is also a touch of ambiguity.

"Cai Lin." Deng Langyue suddenly called Cai Lin's name.

Cai Lin raised her head, her gaze fell into Deng Langyue's eyes.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw in each other's eyes something they hadn't seen before, or it could be said that they had been deliberately ignored, affection.

"Cai Lin." Deng Langyue called again.

The tone this time is completely different from the previous tone, as if rolling between the lips and teeth, sweet with honey, tactful and gentle.

Cai Lin stared straight at Deng Langyue, and there was a voice in her heart, rationally analyzing how she should respond at this moment, whether to laugh or to speak.

However, emotion overcame rationality, and she couldn't make any expressions and movements. She stared at Deng Langyue blankly, as if she was captivated by that sound.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Lin saw Deng Langyue leaning over to press her, getting closer and closer to her, and finally, her lips felt hot.

At that moment, Cai Lin's mind went blank.

She felt that everything around her instantly retreated and pulled away, leaving only herself in a blank space.

and her heartbeat.

It wasn't until Deng Langyue withdrew and the warm touch on her lips disappeared that Cai Lin regained consciousness bit by bit.

Cai Lin's eyes became complicated, disbelief, doubt, puzzlement, surprise, joy flashed one by one, and finally fixed into anger.

Why do you want to do this?
"What do you mean?" Cai Lin quickly wiped her lips and asked angrily.

Deng Langyue didn't answer.

"..." Cai Lin wanted to cry, just now she thought that Deng Langyue might not be as frivolous as she thought, so Deng Langyue kissed her.

This kiss is so casual.

Casually, it was like if it wasn't her sitting here today, but any girl, Deng Langyue would kiss her.

With provocative tone, skilled technique.

This cognition made Cai Lin hurt and angry again.

Cai Lin is a person who can't pretend, can't hold back, she thought angrily, and said angrily.

"Why are you always like this?"

"Always what?"

"That's it." Cai Lin stared at the coffee table in front of her, as if she wanted to burn a hole through the coffee table with her eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "It's so frivolous."

frivolous……

These two words fell into Deng Langyue's ears, and his expression changed instantly.The apprehension and joy just now gradually turned into self-mockery.

"I'm not..." He wanted to explain, but he still didn't explain.

His past made him unable to explain it confidently.

Deng Langyue really wanted to say that I just kissed you was not frivolous, not flirting with you, but that I really like you, I like you so much that my heart is trembling.

But he couldn't tell.

Thousands of words, most will be turned into one sentence:
"sorry."

After Deng Langyue said these three words, she suddenly felt aggrieved.

He was misunderstood, but could not explain it clearly.

"Forget it." Cai Lin shrugged and wanted to say a few more words, but she suddenly ran out of words and didn't know what to say.

Even Deng Langyue apologized, so is she going to chase after him?

That would be too hypocritical.

But this apology didn't feel very comfortable to her.

Unspeakably uncomfortable.

Cai Lin's uncomfortable stomach was cramping, and she was immersed in her own discomfort, when suddenly her phone rang.

Cai Lin took out her mobile phone from her handbag, and saw the word "brother" on the caller ID.

She picked it up.

"Hey……"

"Linlin, where are you? I searched around, but why didn't I see you in the auction hall." Cai Jinyu's anxious voice came from the handset.

Cai Lin glanced at Deng Langyue, and whispered back: "I'm not in the auction hall, I'm still outside."

"Outside? What are you doing outside?"

"..." Cai Lin bit her lip, "Nothing."

"Are you with Deng Langyue? He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Cai Jinyu asked sharply.

Deng Langyue, who was sitting next to Cai Lin, laughed at herself when she heard this sentence.

Cai Lin didn't answer directly, but said vaguely: "I'll go find you when you come out, brother, don't think about it and don't worry about me, just watch the auction."

After speaking, she hung up the phone.

"Your brother is really worried about me." Deng Langyue let out a long breath, and joked: "If you stay with me like this, your brother will teach you a lesson when you go back later."

"My brother isn't that narrow-minded." Although Cai Lin was also worried, she still said good things for Cai Jinyu, "Besides, you are not a dangerous person, so the two of us can be regarded as friends. I stay with my friend, it's not very Is it normal."

Deng Langyue's expression moved slightly, "...friend?"

"Ah... isn't it?" Cai Lin realized that she had taken it for granted, and said, "If you don't want to, then forget it, and pretend I didn't say it."

"No unwillingness, friends...friends are also good."

Being a friend is better than having nothing at all.

He spent so many days, but he couldn't completely forget Cai Lin. The so-called long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, it's not up to him at all.

That being the case, it is also good to be a friend.
