PS Chapter 88 – So Beautiful
The long subway rumbled along the track. Lu Chen, who was holding his guitar, was sitting near the door.
During the rush hour, the subway in Beijing is not crowded, so there are still a lot of seats available. One doesn’t have to worry about being squeezed out of one’s shoes.
He accidentally raised his head and saw a girl on the right side opposite to him pointing her mobile phone at herself.
Lu Chen smiled at her, knowing that she was taking pictures.
Seeing that her action of secretly taking photos of herself being seen by Lu Chen, the girl’s face suddenly turned red. She hurriedly put away her cell phone and turned her head around, pretending to talk to her companions.
Her companions laughed and whispered to her, urging her to ask Lu Chen for a contact information.
But the girl was shy.
Lu Chen’s mood couldn’t help but be a lot more cheerful.
Today, he has just been taught a life lesson. Even if he is open-minded and optimistic, he will inevitably feel a little depressed.
At this moment, his cell phone in his pocket vibrated.
Lu Chen took out his cell phone and opened it. It was Yezi who sent him a WeChat message: “Are you there?”
An elegant and happy face of a girl suddenly emerged in Lu Chen’s mind. His heart moved and he replied, “I’m here!”
Yezi is Ye Zitong.
After that time when he helped her bought a computer, they never met again. But they have chatted on WeChat and QQ several times.
Lu Chen felt that Ye Zitong has a favorable impression on him, but later the relationship between them was somewhat weak.
He knew that Ye Zitong was a good girl, and because of this, he did not intentionally take the initiative to pursue anything.
He who has sailed the seven seas doesn’t think much of mere rivers1. Although Lu Chen has not reached such a state, he has experienced a loss of love and bitter love, and experienced three long periods of life in his dreams. Now his attitude towards this kind of feeling was to allow nature to take its course.
No request, no demand, no greed.
However, at this time, this message from Ye Zitong inadvertently touched his heartstrings.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYe Zitong: “Are you free this evening? I heard that there’s a new skating rink near our school. I heard it’s fun.”
Lu Chen quickly replied, “Then how about going there together in the evening. I haven’t skated for a long time. I’ll come to see you at 5 o’clock. By the way, can I invite you to have dinner with me?”
Ye Zitong: “Seeing that you are so sincere, this girl will reluctantly agree to it.”
A big smiling emoji was added at the end.
“See you at five.”
Lu Chen couldn’t help but smile, and the melancholy in his heart completely disappeared without trace.
Since it was the girl who took the initiative to invite him, moreover he has a favorable impression of the girl, he would simple be silly if he pretends to be reserved.
He just put away his cell phone when he noticed that he has arrived at his destination.
He got up and left with his guitar, and the girl sitting opposite did not ask him for a contact information.
When he returned home, Lu Chen stored his guitar first, and then calculated the time to go out to Beijing Normal University for his appointment.
At 5 o’clock, Lu Chen just arrived at the entrance of the normal University.
In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and it’s still bright at 5 o’clock in the evening. There are still a lot of students coming in and out of the gate of Beijing Normal University. There are a lot of boys waiting at the gate like Lu Chen, and some are even holding beautiful roses in their hands.
Looking at his empty hands, Lu Chen was blushing with shame.
Just as he was hesitating whether to run to a nearby flower shop to buy a flower, Ye Zitong came out of the campus.
The beautiful girl was still wearing her favorite white dress, showing her pink neck and jade arms and a pair of white legs. She obviously dressed herself up, put on a little makeup, and her bright eyes and bright teeth were more attractive.
When she appeared in front of Lu Chen, Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel shocked and stunned.
Under his gaze, Ye Zitong’s face was slightly shy and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Lu Chen got back to his senses and he hurriedly said, “Let’s go.”
Ye Zitong nodded gently.
The two accompanied each other. The guy is tall and handsome, while the girl is beautiful and gentle. And as they passed through a lot of people, they instantly caused a ton of damage to the nearby single dogs!
There was a man’s cry of despair in the air, “Damn it, the school beauty has been soaked away!”
Lu Chen couldn’t help but ask: “Will Zuo Xintian not go?”
He thought that Ye Zitong and Zuo Xintian would be together tonight.
The result, however, was a pleasant surprise.
Ye Zitong tilted her head, tucked in few of her scattered black hair, and asked, “Do you want her to be there?”
At this time, Lu Chen could only play dumb. He smiled and said, “Of course not, I was thinking of saving money!”
Ye Zitong lowered her head and a slight smile appeared in the corner of her lips.
They had dinner at a nearby western restaurant.
Because Lu Chen is not familiar with the surrounding area of the university town, so it was up to Ye Zitong to choose what would they eat. She used her mobile phone to make a group purchase on the Internet for only 98 yuan. The environment and dishes are very good.
After dinner, the two went out for a walk along the artificial lake and arrived at the skating rink at 7 o’clock.
The skating rink has just opened, and the decoration is quite elegant, and it is also a real ice rink.
Shortly after 7 o’clock, the business here has become very hot. Lu Chen queued for ten minutes before he got two pairs of skates and a brand-new down jacket.
The down jacket was rented for Ye Zitong. It’s very cold inside the ice rink. She will not be able to resist wearing a skirt.
In order to rent new clothes that no one has ever worn, Lu Chen slipped a tip to the staff.
“Try to see if it fits, and if it doesn’t fit, I’ll change it.”
At the entrance to the ice rink, he helped Ye Zitong put on her skates and asked, “Have you ever skated before?”
Ye Zitong was a little shy, but she graciously accepted Lu Chen’s help, “I skated using roller skates before.”
The skates are just right, not big or small.
“This should be fine.”
Lu Chen smiled and said, “It’s easy to skate using roller skate and skating on ice. Just pay attention to balance and practice more.”
He stretched out his hand to Ye Zitong: “I’ll lead you there and you just need to get used to it.”
Ye Zitong hesitated for a moment, but still put her white, jade-like slender hand in Lu Chen’s hand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHolding her smooth hand, Lu Chen’s mind became a little absentminded.
There’s also an ice-skating hall in Hangzhou, which is not as large as the one in Beijing. When Lu Chen was a freshman and sophomore, he often went there to skate and mastered a lot of amateur moves.
It’s just that at that time, he was holding another girl in his hand.
Now the scene seems similar, but the only different is the person he’s with!
“What’s the matter?”
Ye Zitong’s mind was very delicate. When she noticed that there was something wrong with Lu Chen’s look, she could not help asking.
Lu Chen came back to his senses, hurriedly smiled and said, “Nothing, I was thinking about what we should do so that you’ll have fun.”
He secretly reminded himself that he was out of sorts several times today!
Ye Zitong chuckled and said, “Don’t bother so much, let’s play slowly. I’m a little afraid of falling. It hurts.”
“Then hold on to my hand.”
Lu Chen smiled and pulled up Ye Zitong and took her from the outside to the infield.
In order to take care of his female companion, he started skating very slowly, so that Ye Zitong can adapt with the ice skates.
There is still a big difference between ice skates and roller skates, but Ye Zitong’s ability to balance is very good. She can quickly skate under Lu Chen’s lead, although he is still careful.
The indoor skating hall has a large space, at least 700 to 800 square meters. The lights on the high dome are all on, and the bright lights shine brightly throughout the venue.
Most of the people who come in the skating arena were young men and women like Lu Chen and Ye Zitong, who wear colorful ski shirts and chase each other along the ice rink to the passionate music.
There were also a lot of people in the stands around, cheering and screaming, making the whole ice-skating hall very lively.
In the cold air, there were joyful laughter, as well as the smell of youth hormones.
Lu Chen was holding Ye Zitong to avoid the mainstream crowd. They were skating on the edge of the rink, while gradually increasing their speed.
Ye Zitong grasped Lu Chen’s hand tightly. She was a little nervous, but mostly excited.
“Don’t go too fast!”
She exclaimed, and then giggled.
Her laughter is as clear as a silver bell, and the sound broke into Lu Chen’s heart.
Lu Chen suddenly felt that life is so beautiful, and that there will always be surprises!
