Trajectory 2: entangled curves

After seeing Zhuge Qinuo off, Mi Bei sat on the sofa in Deng Qing's room, breathing evenly.

She was still herself, making him nostalgic and unable to help but get close to her. A hug that looked like a friend was actually his suppressed longing.

The smell of her body made him nostalgic, and her gaze made him feel almost obsessed.

God knows how much effort he put in to control himself. He was so reluctant to let go.

Mi Bei smiled, laughing at his own greed.

She is so smart and will think everything through. It seems that after more than a year of hard work, I still haven't reached her maturity standard. Otherwise, if given the opportunity, she will definitely let me know.

"When I see her, I can't help but want to get closer to her; but when I appear in front of her, she is as nervous as a deer, and she keeps demonstrating this nervousness. This is the alienation brought about by time. We are becoming more and more strangers." Mi Bei thought.

After calming down, he felt that he should be very satisfied.

Because she had already given the answer, she had already said that they would have different lives in the end.

Maybe he really shouldn't have appeared, shouldn't have disturbed her peace, shouldn't have invaded her now comfortable and perfect life trajectory.

"Maybe she is right." Mi Bei said to himself.

As he received more attention, he finally understood what he thought was her overly sensitive attitude, "just in case." Over the past year, his popularity has increased, his freedom has decreased, and his agency has paid more attention to him and made higher demands on him. He seems to be closer to his original dream, but also further away from the life he wants in the future.

Yes, the future is so unpredictable. Mi Bei seemed to have grown up, but he began to become timid. He was not afraid of the worst outcome happening to him, but he was afraid that he could not bear her getting into trouble because of him.

Therefore, he was very satisfied, and he should be satisfied, to be able to see her and hug her as a friend.

Even if they hadn't met this time, he still remembered her birthday, made preparations, and collected some gifts early.

When he flew abroad for work and saw the pair of high heels, he felt that the crystal-like shoes should belong to her.

He remembered that she had lost her favorite lipstick, and because it was given to her by someone else, he didn't remember the color number, so he found many opportunities to collect various lipsticks of similar colors that he remembered she had used. He didn't dare to give it to her on her birthday. He originally wanted to find some other reason a few days after her birthday and pretend to give it to her casually.

But he didn't expect that Deng Qing would bring her here. He knew that Deng Qing and Zhuge Qinuo had always kept in touch, so he took the things he wanted to give her and asked Deng Qing to give them to her.

In Deng Qing’s room on the cruise ship.

"Mi Bei! What's wrong? You've been abducted to the cruise ship by me and you can't escape. You must be bored." Deng Qing winked at him.

Mibe: “Not bad!”

"Wait, I'll give you a surprise!" Deng Qing said mysteriously.

"Stop it. My agent and the company don't know that I'm here. The surprise will turn into a shock. Just let me escape for a few days and relax." Mi Bei really couldn't think of any surprises in this closed, moving iron shell.

At night, the nightlife on the cruise ship is also quite rich. Mi Bei was taken by Deng Qing to a skybox in a bar.

"We came to the bar, but we're still in the private room? We're just staring at each other while we watch others having fun?" Mi Bei complained.

"Don't be impatient. If I say there is a surprise, there must be a surprise. But the surprise needs you to discover it yourself, young man! Take a closer look!" Deng Qing raised his chin and motioned Mi Bei to look at the crowd.

This was a lively but not noisy bar. Mi Bei understood what Deng Qing meant and started scanning with his Eagle Eye. After a while, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

It was her! The string that had been tense for a whole year suddenly loosened at this moment.

She was wearing something extra cool tonight.

"How is it? Is it a surprise?" Deng Qing's eyes were full of pride.

"How did you know she was here?" Mi Bei knew that it was his own reaction that betrayed him.

"Yeah, how would I know?" Deng Qing also asked himself in his heart.

It's amazing to say, for some reason, Deng Qing is always very sensitive about Zhuge Qinuo. From treating him like an enemy to becoming friends; from being polite at first to being on guard to now admiring him. Perhaps it was because the gap between before and after was too big, so when Mi Bei felt a little strange about Zhuge Qinuo, even though no one talked about it, he eventually noticed it bit by bit.

"Go ahead and have a chat." Deng Qing still made a choice, a choice he knew Zhuge Qinuo wanted.

Mi Bei realized now that her escape was exposed by Deng Qing: "No. We haven't been in touch for a year, and everyone is doing well. She has chosen someone, so let's not disrupt her peace. It's good to maintain the status quo."

"Everything is fine? She is indeed fine. What do you call fine? I've known you for so many years, don't think that if you don't tell me, I don't know what has stimulated you to become such a workaholic. You're all here, why bother being so restrained? It's good to meet once, it's a rare opportunity." Deng Qing was still encouraging him, he didn't want his arrangements to go to waste.

"Forget it, this also counts as meeting. I'm not ready yet." From the moment he saw her, he was mentally prepared to just look at her from a distance and not see her until he was ready.

He swore that it was not his intention to peek from afar.

Deng Qing invited him to go on the cruise ship to relax for two days. Although Deng Qing often took him along many years ago, in order to let him learn and introduce resources to him, he gradually reduced such invitations after he found that Mi Bei could handle things on his own. In the past year, because both of them were very busy, they had not invited him at all.

At first, Mi Bei was a little confused, but then he thought, after so many years, it was a rare opportunity to be with Deng Qing for so long, and secondly, he really wanted to take a vacation. Besides, he could also take this opportunity to let Deng Qing be a courier to deliver the gifts he had collected.

He had never expected Zhuge Qinuo to be on the cruise ship. It was like a surprise inspection, and he was not prepared to face her like this.

Deng Qing tried to persuade him for a while, but failed to change Mi Bei's mind.

At that moment, Mi Bei should be thankful for his determination, otherwise, he would not be able to see Zhuge Qinuo standing brightly on the stage and singing passionately.

In Mibei's eyes, Zhuge Qinuo seemed to have unlocked another hidden skill that he didn't know about - singing, singing on the stage like a singer.

She blended so well with the stage, as if every speck of dust in the air was conveying her singing, and as if every lamp, every ray of light, was obediently surrounding and reflecting her beauty.

There is a hint of loneliness in the coldness, a hint of charm in the loneliness, and a sense of alienation in the charm. Yes, this is her.

As Mi Bei thought about it, he curled the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

He just wanted to watch from afar and admire quietly, because he knew very well that such an opportunity might not come again.
