Of course, Lu Yun heard the implication. She felt a little unhappy. She wanted to refute but held back: not to mention that even if she refuted, the other party might not be persuaded, so what if she was persuaded?For two people who rarely meet, does it really matter what they think of each other?That being the case, why did she bother to do such a meaningless thing?

From a rational point of view, this is completely uneconomical behavior, Lu Yun asked himself that he didn't have so much patience.

She decided to skip this topic, so she said, "Really?" She held back for a while, couldn't help it, and added in a casual way, "...Actually, I have always been very accurate in seeing people, so I won't be so stupid You can’t tell if a person has ulterior motives.”

"Defense against others is indispensable." I don't know if Xu Shicheng could hear that Lu Yun's tone was wrong, he just glanced at Lu Yun lightly, playing with the lighter with his fingers carelessly, with an inexplicable expression, "Especially when the two of you have too much When interests are entangled. After all, trust is often vulnerable to interests.”

"Do not……"

"This is not a debate contest," he raised his eyes, stopped the movement of his hand, held a cigarette in his other hand, and dusted it, a small cluster of soot fell, soft like the down feathers of a black swan, Scattered with the wind, "You and I are not pros and cons. I know you, you have always believed in your own eyes, which is good... I also know that maybe that person is a good girl, good, kind, or whatever Well, but that has nothing to do with me." His heart was as hot as a cigarette butt between his fingers, so hot that he had to say everything in his heart-could there be a better moment than this?

--No.Not anymore.

"... none of that has anything to do with me," he repeated, staring at Lu Yun steadfastly, "I'm only standing in your position, thinking about the worst outcome for you, and guarding against every worst outcome for you. Maybe, if my thinking is wrong, I will be sincerely happy for you, but if my thinking unfortunately becomes a reality, then even if my reminder makes you recover a little loss..." He stopped, thinking Wanting to calm down his mind, he took a deep puff of cigarette, deliberately avoiding Lu Yun's surprised eyes, watched the white smoke rise and disperse and finally disappear, and said the last sentence, "That will be mine. pleasure."

Lu Yun didn't speak.

She realized something, after all, it was too obvious.She was a little shocked, not only because she didn't expect it at all, but also because... she was moved.

Who can not be moved by such sincere feelings?

At least Lu Yun couldn't.Simultaneously with this touch, there is also a little regret that can't help: because she knows that she has no feelings for Xu Shicheng beyond being a friend.

Touching is not love, and she has always been very clear about what she wants.

She opened her mouth, hesitating whether she should speak: "You..."

"That's right, I like you. I liked you a long, long time ago." He said with a serious expression, then raised the corners of his mouth, pretending to be relaxed, "At least this sentence, I want to tell you officially in person. Even though I know what your answer is."

"...Thank you." Lu Yun thought for a while and answered him very seriously.

Xu Shicheng smiled faintly. The long paragraph just now seemed to come from the effect of magic, but now that the time limit has passed, he has turned back to the taciturn and not very talkative boy at the beginning.

The smoke gradually burned out.

The hot dark red cigarette butt gradually turned into a cold gray, like cement and stone bricks under your feet.

He glanced at Lu Yun: "...at least now you know."

Lu Yun let out a "huh".

"Can we still be friends?" he asked.

"Of course." She turned back, "As long as you want, of course we are friends."

Xu Shicheng smiled: "Actually, I don't have any chance....I might go to the army after graduating from high school."

Lu Yun was a little surprised: "...to the army? It feels... maybe it's quite suitable for you?"

"Maybe." He was noncommittal, "I just want to do something... what I want to do."

"It's good," she said, "at least you've set your goals, unlike me, who haven't quite figured out what you're going to do."

"Did the Guan family make any arrangements for you?" he asked.

"The Guan family?" Lu Yun didn't understand why the Guan family was involved, "What does this have to do with the Guan family? Ah—" She suddenly realized what Xu Shicheng meant, and then shook her head, "No, but maybe it just wasn't. Well, this kind of thing is supposed to develop freely."

"I think you can ask." Xu Shicheng said, "If you have no inclination, you might as well listen to the elders' opinions. There is always nothing wrong with preparing for everything in advance, isn't it?"

Lu Yun felt that he was right.

"Also," he added calmly, "I still stand in your position and suggest that you—"

Lu Yun couldn't laugh or cry, and made a pause gesture: "I know. But I'm really sure about this matter, very, very sure, and it's impossible to be more sure." She expressed her opinion seriously, full of confidence in Xu Shicheng. It seems that it is completely unreasonable trust, "Guan Xi can't lie to me."
