Trajectory 2: entangled curves

Zhuge Qinuo entered the elevator, and Zhuge Yihua followed the others in and stood at the back of the elevator. She did not notice him.

When she went out, he followed her.

After getting out of the elevator, she said to herself, "If I can't catch up with him, forget it." She understood that some things cannot be forced.

Zhuge Qinuo completely relaxed his body and mind, feeling that all his energy and consciousness were slowly draining away from his body.

She lifted her feet to take off her high heels, but when she took off the second pair, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

Her world seemed to float so lightly above her mind, yet it made her skull feel like it was about to explode; her body seemed to be so heavy, yet so soft that it seemed as if she had no bones.

She tried to stand up as gracefully as possible, but she couldn't do it. It was a simple movement, but now it was difficult for her.

"Does it have to be so embarrassing?" She spoke, but she didn't know who she was talking to.

At this moment, she felt so lonely and helpless. Loneliness, she had never felt it before. The feeling of loneliness was brought up by Mi Bei. Helplessness? She had always felt helpless. But when combined with loneliness, the feeling of helplessness was infinitely magnified. It was no big deal, but now she felt it was unbearable. A warm current surged up and gushed out of her eyes.

"Take it." A voice seemed to pierce through the fog and sounded in my ears.

A box of hangover medicine was handed to him. Zhuge Qinuo turned around and saw Zhuge Yihua squatting beside him.

Too many years had passed, so long that she couldn't recognize his voice quickly enough.

"Here." At Zhuge Yihua's request again, she took the medicine.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, professor! Am I ridiculous and useless in your eyes?" Zhuge Qinuo said as he tried to stand up.

Zhuge Yihua ignored her and didn't answer. He just went to the side to pick up her shoes, then put one hand through her knees and the other hand around her shoulders, and picked up Zhuge Qinuo horizontally.

A sudden feeling of weightlessness.

"Put your hands around my neck," he ordered.

She didn't do it. She didn't even need him to hold her like this: "Put me down."

Zhuge Yihua: "I won't let go."

The two were in a stalemate.

"You are very thin, but it is very tiring to hold you like this." Zhuge Yihua threatened, "If you want both of us to fall to the ground, just stay still."

Zhuge Qinuo's mind was blank. She didn't have time to think too much. She put her arms around Zhuge Yihua's neck. She looked up at his face. Even when their hearts were closest, they had never been so close. The past was vivid in her mind. Ten years had passed. Even if she drank too much, she couldn't avoid being shrouded in shyness.

She turned her head towards Zhuge Yihua's chest and nodded, but tried not to get close. After all, men and women should not touch each other.

"Ding", the elevator rang. Ye Mingyuan came out of the elevator.

He had just left, but thinking about the harm of a hangover, he went to the pharmacy to buy some hangover and stomach medicine for Zhuge Qinuo. He got out of the elevator and walked quickly towards Zhuge Qinuo's room. As soon as he turned the corner, the scene in front of him made him walk like lead, and his breathing stagnated for a second.

Who else could it be if they were not Zhuge and his partner? The man was tall and steady, the woman was coy and charming, and everyone knew what their relationship was. Thinking back to the past, the two of them were playing the game of love with both offense and defense, and I was innocently and actively playing a part in their play, and I couldn't help but feel that I was meddling in their business. The medicine in my hand also became an embarrassing existence.

Coming back to his senses, he was somewhat helplessly thankful that he had seen this scene. Otherwise, if he waited until they entered the room and started the good thing before delivering the medicine, it would not only be embarrassing, but also easily cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Turning away, he felt cold and relieved. There was an indescribable loneliness in his back. Yes, no one saw him, and no one would care about him.

Zhuge Qinuo was trying to get away from Zhuge Yihua. Although she tried very hard not to lean towards him, she was already in his arms, and could not avoid the vibration when walking, so her head would still touch him.

Zhuge Yihua naturally sensed her caution and distance. He just held Zhuge Qinuo in his arms, feeling the warmth of his body, sniffing the fragrance of his hair, and the distance between her and his heart, which made him hold the person in his arms tighter.

The indescribable romantic scene in the eyes of a third party is a kind of peace of mind and satisfaction in Zhuge Yihua's heart, while for Zhuge Qinuo it is an experience that he hopes will end quickly.

She knew very well that it was impossible for her and him to have the mutual affection and understanding they once had. The longer they were together, the more uncomfortable she felt. She even felt guilty.

Finally he returned to the room. There was no light in the room, so he used a card to turn on the electricity. There were only slight wrinkles on the bed in the room, and there was no sign of lovemaking.

Zhuge Yihua put the person in his arms in neat clothes, and then realized that he had thought too much. He gently put her on the bed and then got up to boil water.

While Zhuge Yihua was away, Zhuge Qinuo turned over and lay down, facing the wall.

Zhuge Yi drew it and saw Zhuge Qinuo lying on his back, and he curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

He walked over slowly, took off her other high-heeled shoe, put it in place, pulled out a blanket to cover her, and sat on the floor beside the bed.

"Qinuo, I admit that I lost. I really didn't expect to see you, or rather, I didn't expect to see you in such an occasion. Yes, I heard your name from their mouths first. I heard them say all kinds of things about you. A strong woman, maybe different from what I imagined you to be. But, I think it would be difficult for another 'Zhuge Qinuo' to do this in this place. So, yes, I knew with a high probability that it would be you who came tonight. I was very excited, but I seemed to have no reason to be excited. I kept myself calm, and calm again. More than ten years have passed, enough time for things to change and people to change. I dare not have any expectations."

"Although I didn't dare to expect it, I was looking forward to it. I was curious about what you have become now and how you are doing. But you didn't show up on time. I was thinking, are you avoiding me? I was thinking, you are still as timid as before, and you only know how to escape."

"Although I was mentally prepared, you know, the moment I saw you, the air around me seemed to freeze, and only the past rushed to me like a flood. Everything in my world was collapsing, and I clearly felt the forgotten heartbeat. It beat so hard that I could hardly control myself. I didn't want to and didn't like myself to be so uncalm. But I didn't like pretending to be calm and pretending not to know you when I was obviously uncalm. But, I hated it."

Zhuge Yihua paused for a long time when he spoke here. He never expected that some things would still have a chance to be "settled" after so many years.
