Chapter 450 Rebirth: I am Jinzai Xiaoyu
ten minutes later.
Lu You came back with a tray and everyone was chatting animatedly.
Li Yu: "I heard recently that someone in your school confessed his love in public, and it caused quite a stir?"
Tang Wan: "Is that true?"
Wang Linghua: “Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.”
Xu Nian: "This is the first time I've heard of this. What exactly is going on?"
Wang Linghua: "It was probably like this. A few nights ago, near Weiming Lake, a boy placed a heart-shaped candle and roses on the ground to confess his love to a girl."
Tang Wan: "Oh, so are they together?"
Wang Linghua: "I don't know. Anyway, I saw the boy's candle was only half lit when he was chased away by the security guard. They said that playing with fire is prohibited in public places, and they also ordered him to sweep the floor."
Xu Nian: "Haha! I live in Bengbu!"
Tang Wan: "But, to be honest, I am quite disgusted by this kind of public confession. It uses public resources for personal matters, and it also has the connotation of using public pressure to force the other party to agree."
Wang Linghua: "Yeah, I think it's stupid too. Just confess your feelings, why do you have to make it known to everyone?"
Lu You had no intention of interrupting, but just silently transferred the food on the tray to the dining table.
Deep down, Lu You didn't agree that it should be considered a confession, for the same reason Tang Wan said.
It would be fine if both parties are in love, but if it is one-sided, it is using the bystanders to exert pressure, which is really despicable.
"Your hot and sour noodles are here, eat them while they're hot."
"Thank you, great god!" Wang Linghua thanked him sweetly.
"You're welcome."
Lu You sat back in his original position, picked up a prawn and began to peel it skillfully.
Tang Wan moved closer to Lu You and whispered, "Thank you, husband. I'll touch your vagina when we get back tomorrow."
Lu You paused, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards Tang Wan's collar.
In the dark space, a deep ravine was vaguely visible, like a huge mouth of the abyss that was ready to devour anyone.
Lu You put the shelled shrimp meat into Tang Wan's mouth and said, "Keep your word."
"Of course. Honesty is the basic principle of being a human being." Tang Wan swallowed the shrimp in one bite with a warm and bright smile.
“Are the shrimps tasty?”
"It's delicious, I want more!"
Looking at the intimate behavior of the two, Deng Rui felt a little envious, and his brain unconsciously imagined himself in love.
Whispering, leaning against each other, skin touching, it was sweet and beautiful.
However, the picture was covered with a thick fog that made it impossible to see the woman's appearance clearly.
The fantasy lasted less than ten seconds before it was shattered because Li Yu threw the conversation back at him.
"Old Deng, what civil engineering classes do you usually take?"
Deng Rui came back to his senses and said, "The freshman year is mainly about laying the foundation. Most of the courses are public courses, such as Ideological and Political Theory, English, Calculus, Linear Algebra and Programming. The remaining two courses, Fundamentals of Engineering Drawing and Introduction to Engineering Management, are professional courses."
"No advanced math?"
"Isn't calculus just advanced mathematics?"
"All I can say is that calculus is a part of advanced mathematics. The two are in a relationship of inclusion and being included, and cannot be completely equated," Lu You corrected.
"I heard that after you graduate from civil engineering, you all have to go to construction sites to do plastering. Is that true?" Li Yu asked again.
Deng Rui thought for a moment and said seriously, "You asked a good question. In my opinion, if you want to delve deeper into the civil engineering industry and become a senior engineer in the future, you must go to the construction site.
Just like being an official, if you want to get a high position, you have to go to the countryside. If you don’t get close to the people, you won’t have enough experience to pass the job interview. If you don’t work on the construction site, you won’t be able to apply the knowledge you have accumulated in practice.”
"In other words, you are going to work on a construction site in the future?" Li Yu said with a smile.
Deng Rui nodded and said, "I'm mentally prepared."
With this as a start, everyone started an interesting discussion about their respective majors and future employment prospects.
As the food on the table was gradually cleared away, the discussion came to an end and everyone reached a unanimous conclusion.
Without background support, getting started in any industry is difficult. No matter what school you graduated from, you have to gain a few years of experience first.
Of course, even if you are an ordinary person from an ordinary family, as long as you can get into Capital University or Wudaokou Vocational School, you will have a background after graduation.
You have to know that a university is essentially a platform for providing resources. The better the university, the better the resources it gathers, and connections are also one of the resources.
If a person has studied at a top university for several years but has not been able to convert his network resources into personal background, it only shows that this person's ability is just that.
After filling their stomachs, everyone leaned back in their chairs to rest.
Li Yu squinted at Lu You and said, "We've taken a bath and had the buffet. What's next?"
Lu You grabbed Tang Wan's hand and wiped her fingers with a wet towel, saying, "There is a water park on the first floor, and the fourth floor is an entertainment center with an Internet cafe, a game room, a table tennis hall, and a billiard hall. There are private rooms on the fifth floor where you can sleep, have massages, and there is also a mahjong room. Which one do you want to play?"
"Water park? There is a water park in the middle of winter? Won't we freeze to death?" Tang Wan asked curiously.
Lu You checked Tang Wan's fingers, making sure that there was no oil stain on each one, and then let go of Tang Wan's hand. He then explained, "The water park is divided into two parts, indoor and outdoor. In winter, only the indoor part is open. There is sufficient heating supply, and the water is also replaced with hot water, so it won't be cold."
"I see." Tang Wan looked thoughtful, as if she was thinking about something.
"How about, let's go to the fourth floor and play games? I've long wanted to experience sitting in an Internet cafe for a while." Li Yu suggested.
Without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, Xu Nian directly rejected it and said, "There are six of us, both men and women. Why don't we do something else? You insist on going online. You know how to have fun."
"Then what do you think?"
Xu Nian glanced at Lu You and said calmly, "No."
"You're still so arrogant without me?"
"It's better than you only giving bad advice."
Everyone was used to seeing Li Yu and Xu Nian arguing over the slightest disagreement.
It's just a minor fight, or even a special flirting game between the two of them, so there's no need to pay attention to it.
At this time, Tang Wan's thoughts came to a conclusion, and she said, "I have an idea. We have a lot of people, and there are a lot of entertainment options here. Why don't we split up and play our own things until ten o'clock, and then gather together to celebrate the New Year?"
Lu You was the first to respond: "I think it's fine. It's hard to please everyone. If we force everyone to play together, someone will always feel uncomfortable. It's better to separate and have fun on their own."
The remaining four looked at each other and expressed their agreement.
Then after five minutes of discussion, the six people were divided into two teams.
Li Yu and Xu Nian went upstairs to play games, while Lu You, Tang Wan, Deng Rui and Wang Linghua went downstairs to play in the water.
……
A quarter of an hour later.
Lu You and his three friends changed into swimsuits and rented two swimming rings to enter the water park.
There weren't many people in the swimming pool, but there were quite a few too. Most of them were children and parents with children, scattered around.
The four of them did some simple exercises to warm up to prevent cramps, then walked down the stairs to the swimming pool.
The moment her skin touched the pool water, Tang Wan seemed to have opened the door to a new world and exclaimed, "This water is really hot!"
"It's not like you haven't soaked in a hot spring before, so why are you so surprised?" Lu You said with a smile.
"I've been in hot springs before, but this is the first time I've seen a hot swimming pool."
The four of them originally wanted to quietly hang out in the shallow water for a while, but they were shot in the face several times by a dozen strange children around them.
As a last resort, the four had to change their plan and head towards deep water.
As the four people moved, the water level gradually rose from waist to chest.
The four of them stopped only when their toes could no longer touch the bottom of the pool.
The two girls were protected by swimming rings and would not sink into the water. Lu You had good swimming skills and would not sink either.
As for Deng Rui, Lu You saw that he could swim easily without the help of a swimming ring, so he thought that he could also swim.
Compared with the shallow water area, there are fewer people in the deep water area, and there are no annoying small wall climbs. Instead, there are more medium-sized climbers and small and medium-sized climbers who can swim.
Tang Wan looked back with her hands around the swimming ring, and said with emotion: "Sometimes I envy children, they have no scruples and can play around with strangers at will."
Lu You disagreed and said, "I don't think there is anything to envy. A bunch of naughty kids who don't know the rules are not as good as my Xiaoshu."
Tang Wan did not refute, because she had been disturbed by noisy children on public transportation before, and the children's parents were playing with their mobile phones and had no intention of stopping them.
To be frank, Tang Wan wanted to rush up and kick the naughty kid away, and then give him a couple of big fights.
Unfortunately, it is all we can think about. No matter which version, minors will always be T0 and can’t do anything wrong.
"Speaking of Xiaoshu, I haven't seen her for two months. I wonder what she looks like now." Tang Wan looked longing.
Lu You smiled and replied, "What changes can there be in two months? The only difference is that my hair has grown longer."
"You don't know how fast children grow. They can grow a lot in just two months!"
A figure appeared in Wang Linghua's mind, a little girl who was delicate and pretty, almost knee-high, and walked unsteadily.
"Master, the Xiaoshu you are talking about, is she your sister?"
"Yes." Lu You nodded.
"The one about the parents' meeting in the second semester of senior year?"
"That's right." Lu You nodded again.
"More than two years have passed. He should be going to kindergarten, right?" Wang Linghua asked with a smile.
"I went there in September this year and was in the small class." Lu You replied truthfully.
"That's great! Having a younger sister at home means life must be very interesting, right?" Wang Linghua's tone was a little envious at first, and then turned to loneliness, "Unlike my family, where I'm the only child, and my parents are old-fashioned and don't like to talk. Every day is boring to death."
Wang Linghua's words immediately resonated with Deng Rui.
Deng Rui is also the only son in the family, but he is even more miserable than Wang Linghua.
At least Wang Linghua's parents are around, while Deng Rui's father works away from home all year round and only comes home during the holidays. His mother also went out early and came back late in her early years.
When Deng Rui was in the third year of junior high school, the two elderly people in the family passed away one after another. Deng Rui was left unattended, and the burden was also lightened a little, so Deng Rui's mother was able to resign and become a full-time housewife.
Looking back on the past now, Deng Rui admires himself. With such conditions, he did not go astray and was admitted to Wudaokou Technical School with the second highest score in the province. It was truly a miracle.
"Being an only child has its own advantages. You can enjoy the love of your parents alone and you don't have to worry about others snatching your toys away from you," Deng Rui comforted.
Wang Linghua really wanted to say that her family had enough money to buy toys, but feeling Deng Rui's gentle gaze, she couldn't say it.
Since it is a beautiful misunderstanding, let it continue!
Although Lu You was an only child before Lu Jingshu was born, he has had Li Yu, a non-blood brother, by his side since he can remember. It is somewhat difficult for him to understand Wang Linghua's feelings.
Not to mention Tang Wan, she grew up under Tang Jing's three parts care and seven parts oppression. It was already very good that she didn't curse Tang Jing secretly.
"My sister is a mixed bag. When she's well behaved, she's really cute, but once she gets angry, I want to strangle her to death!" At the end, Lu You added, "Just like a certain woman."
Hearing this, Tang Wan was immediately unhappy. She scooped up a handful of water and splashed it at Lu You, asking, "Who are you secretly scolding?"
"I'm talking to you, you pampered young lady." Lu You fought back without giving in, and put his palms and fingers together to form a knife and shoveled into the water obliquely.
The water splashed up in a curtain shape and poured down towards Tang Wan, instantly wetting most of her hair.
The falling hair covered half of Tang Wan's face, making it impossible to see her expression.
But Lu You could clearly sense that Tang Wan's anger level was skyrocketing.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu You turned around and dived into the water, decisively choosing to escape.
"I'm moistened, you guys take your time!"
"You have the guts to provoke me, but not the guts to bear the consequences?" Tang Wan pulled up her hair, swung her legs vigorously, and chased after Lu You with a rage, "Don't run, stop now and let me punch you! I promise I won't kill you!"
"We'll talk about it when you can catch up with me!" Lu You took a break from his busy schedule and gave Tang Wan the middle finger, as if he was despising her swimming speed.
"Hey? I don't believe it!"
The two swam farther and farther away, leaving only Deng Rui and Wang Linghua behind, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Aren't you going to chase them?" Wang Linghua asked.
Deng Rui chuckled and said, "I'm not good at shining and giving off heat."
"Then don't you feel awkward staying here?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? Just because we are different genders?"
Seeing Deng Rui's calm expression, Wang Linghua's original slight discomfort disappeared without a trace.
"Then shall we play together?"
"playing what?"
Wang Linghua pointed to the high platform in the distance and said, "There seems to be some rafting over there, let's go and take a look."
"Row."
As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Rui assumed a freestyle swimming posture and was about to swim forward.
Wang Linghua quickly called him to stop, "Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Deng Rui asked puzzled.
Wang Linghua patted the swimming ring and said with a smile: "Please give me a hand. I am a landlubber and can't swim."
Deng Rui burst out laughing, walked around behind Wang Linghua, put his hands on the swimming ring, and pushed her forward slowly.
"You're an adult, but you still can't swim?" Deng Rui teased.
Wang Linghua frowned, splashed some water on Deng Rui's face, and said unhappily, "Do all you boys like to talk dirty?"
Deng Rui lowered his head, used his hair to catch the water, and replied: "Do you girls all like to use violence?"
"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Wang Linghua retracted her gaze and faced forward.
Deng Rui smiled and said, "Why didn't you chase Tang Wan before?"
"I'm not good at shining either."
……
After all, people who wear swimming rings are slower than those who don’t.
No matter how hard Tang Wan paddled, she could not close the distance between her and Lu You.
Feeling her breathing and body becoming increasingly heavy, Tang Wan simply stopped chasing, lowered her head, and pretended to be dead on the spot.
Lu You in the front swam for a while, then noticed that there was no movement behind him, so he stopped as well.
"My beloved, my beloved!"
After shouting a few times without any response, Lu You thought something had happened and swam back quickly.
Unexpectedly, just as he swam to Tang Wan's side, a pair of slender legs wrapped around Lu You's waist like a sea snake.
"You little brat, I caught you, didn't I?" Tang Wan pinched Lu You's cheek, made a fierce expression, and said, "Will you dare to be a jerk again in the future?"
Lu You didn't say anything. His hands, submerged in the water, touched Tang Wan's thighs inconspicuously and touched them boldly twice.
The friction between her fingertips and her skin generated tiny electric currents that traveled throughout Tang Wan's body, causing her to tremble slightly involuntarily.
"What are you doing!" Tang Wan's fair earlobe turned slightly red.
Lu You secretly made an evaluation in his heart.
It is soft, elastic, smooth and delicate, and is of high quality.
"I'm checking if there's anything wrong with my girlfriend."
"Whose family checked and touched the thighs?"
"I."
"Oh, you're just a jerk, a complete jerk!" Tang Wan said sarcastically.
Lu You remained calm. Such non-aggressive words could not shake his heart as strong as a fortress.
"If I can't even be shy with you, then you should think about whether there is something wrong with you."
"Haha." Tang Wan sneered twice, but she didn't reject Lu You taking advantage of her. The biggest advantage had already been taken by him, so touching her thighs was nothing, since no one could see it under the water anyway.
At this time, Tang Wan turned around and looked around, but there was no sign of Wang Linghua and Deng Rui.
"Oh no! Linghua and Deng Rui are missing!"
Lu You also looked around and speculated, "I guess he went somewhere to play."
"Should we go find them?"
"Why are we looking for them? They are not children who need guardians to supervise them. Let's just play by ourselves!"
"That's true." Tang Wan quickly put Wang Linghua and Deng Rui's affairs behind her and pointed to the water slide in front of her, saying excitedly: "Come on, husband, let's go play on the slide!"
More than an hour passed.
The two of them tried all the facilities in the water park and almost let out all their excitement.
With the little remaining strength they had, the two climbed ashore.
Lu You was just thinking about finding an empty chair to rest when Tang Wan grabbed his wrist and shook it, looking somewhere with shining eyes.
"Honey, what is that pool used for?"
Lu You followed Tang Wan's line of sight.
I saw a square pond with transparent water rippling and densely packed tadpoles swimming in the water.
"You mean Jinzai Xiaoyu?"
Tang Wan blinked, as if she had seen this name somewhere before, but couldn't remember it for a moment.
Lu You continued to explain: "That's a foot massage pool. As the name suggests, it's for soaking feet. Do you want to go take a look?"
"want!"
They came to the foot massage pool.
When the distance got closer, Tang Wan was able to see clearly that the so-called tadpoles were actually small black fish.
"What should I do?" Tang Wan asked.
"Sit on the shore and put your feet in the pool." Lu You raised his chin slightly, pointed at the tourists next to him, and said, "Just like them."
Tang Wan took a half step back and said, "You come and demonstrate."
Lu You did not hesitate. He first sat on the shore and then slowly sank his feet into the pool.
The small fish that were originally wandering aimlessly around swarmed in and formed a wall of fish at Lu You's feet.
"Okay, come down!" Lu You called.
Tang Wan sat down next to Lu You, put her arm around his and carefully put her feet down.
The white and tender little feet touched the water surface, creating ripples.
The fish on the periphery of the school discovered the new target and immediately changed direction.
Suddenly, Tang Wan's muscles tensed up, she pulled her foot back abruptly, and slapped Lu You on the shoulder.
"Damn it, why didn't you say anything!"
Lu You raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "What do you want me to say?"
“This fish bites!”
"It doesn't hurt, so what's wrong with letting it bite?"
“It doesn’t hurt, but it itches!”
Lu You patiently explained: "The little fish will only eat dead skin. Just bear with it for a while, and you will feel better later."
"You didn't lie to me?"
"I'm already soaking myself, how can I lie to you?"
"I'll trust you for once." Tang Wan put her feet into the pool again.
The fish quickly gathered around and began to eat driven by instinct.
Tang Wan pursed her lips, tensed her muscles, and tried hard to resist the itch and not pull her foot out.
Just as Lu You said, after enduring the initial period and when the body adapted, the itching turned into an indescribable feeling of comfort, and Tang Wan's body also relaxed.
"Don't mention it, you really shouldn't mention it, this little fish is quite powerful."
Lu You didn't reply. He looked at the little feet that were submerged by the fish and not even a shadow was left, and let out an inexplicable sigh.
"Ah~"
"What are you sighing about?" Tang Wan asked puzzledly.
"I envy Jinzai Xiaoyu's day."
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "You're a pervert!"
"How can I be worthy of you if I'm not perverted enough?"
"Get lost! I'm obviously a very serious person!"
"Touch your conscience. Doesn't it hurt?"
Tang Wan raised her head and chest and said proudly: "Sorry, I can't touch it!"
Lu You focused his gaze on a certain spot on the snow-white surface. After examining it carefully, he narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "It seems that I can't quite touch it."
Tang Wan chuckled, put all her weight on Lu You's arm, and whispered, "When we get home tomorrow, when it's late at night and everyone is asleep, feel around carefully and you'll probably be able to find it."
Lu You patted Tang Wan on the top of her head and said, "It is strictly forbidden to play with fire in public places. It is easy to get into trouble."
"What are you afraid of? At worst, we can just find a corner and fight!"
"Sure enough, I'm still not as perverted as you."
Afterwards, neither of them spoke anymore. Instead, they sat close to each other, blocking out the noise around them, and quietly enjoying the time alone.
After a long while, Tang Wan said softly, "Husband, do you remember what day it is today?"
Lu You pretended to be ignorant and replied, "What other day could it be except the day before New Year's Day?"
Tang Wan hit Lu You's shoulder with her head, and said angrily: "Be serious, I'm not kidding you!"
Hearing this, Lu You put away his joking attitude and replied, "It's our third anniversary together."
"Three years, a total of one thousand one hundred and ninety-five days! I have actually continued to like a boy for more than a thousand days, and my feelings have never changed during this period. It's incredible!" Tang Wan's tone was full of emotion.
Lu You held Tang Wan's hand and waited quietly for her next words.
"If someone had told me in junior high school that I would fall in love with a boy in high school, confess my feelings to him, and have a premature love affair with him for 1,195 days, I would have called that person a fool!"
Lu You knew Tang Wan's past clearly, so he naturally knew why she said that.
"There is still a long time. There are still two thousand days, three thousand days, or even ten thousand days to go."
Tang Wan sat up, looked directly into Lu You's eyes, and asked, "Do you think we can go that far?"
Lu You did not dodge and replied: "There are many unexpected things in this world. I can't say I am 100% sure, but as long as you treat me with sincerity, I will never let you go, unless..."
Tang Wan covered Lu You's mouth and said with a gloomy look, "Let's not talk about the rest. Just let us know it in our hearts. If you set a flag, I will not travel through time."
Lu You smiled and reached out to hold Tang Wan in his arms.
"You don't have to know how to do it, I just need to know how to do it."
After hearing Lu You's sweet words and their skin touching each other again, Tang Wan felt a surge of heat in her heart.
"Hubby, why don't we find a little corner?"
"You're the one! I don't want to see a movie starring me in the domestic zone." (End of this chapter)
