MTL - Hello, How Long Has This Been Going On?-Chapter 41
Walking out of the terminal, a black Bentley was already waiting outside, and the driver in white gloves stood by the door to greet them.
Tao Zhiyue knew very early on that Huo Ran in the novel was very rich, and in the latter part of the novel he was extremely high-profile and extravagant.
But in fact, the Huo Ran he knew was no different from ordinary people.
It was the same today, Huo Ran waited for him at the exit together with all the people who picked up the plane. No special passage was arranged, and no big fights were made, making the scene very grand.
Everything is normal, and there is no need for Tao Zhiyue to adjust his mentality to adapt.
The anxiety about the life of the rich gradually faded away, but Tao Zhiyue immediately realized that he was now facing a very serious problem.
He couldn't ride in the same car as Huo Ran.
And he still can't tell Huo Ran the real reason.
He stopped stiffly.
Huo Ran didn't know anything about his entanglement, the driver opened the door respectfully, Huo Ran looked back at him, waiting for him to get in the car first.
Tao Zhiyue's brain immediately started to work rapidly.
For a foreseeable long time, he couldn't travel with Huo Ran in the same car, so he had to find a reasonable excuse.
"That... I'm motion sick." He was quick to wit, "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you."
Huo Ran was obviously a little surprised, "Can't you take this kind of car?"
"No, you will feel dizzy and uncomfortable."
The white-glove driver immediately proposed an alternative: "Master, you can still take the subway from the airport to the city, but there will be more people."
Tao Zhiyue began to shatter the jar, "The subway doesn't work either...I'm still dizzy on the subway."
Huo Ran was surprised, but couldn't help laughing.
"If it's not too far from the airport, I really want to walk back with you. I haven't walked a long way with you yet."
Tao Zhiyue blushed again.
It sounds like you are clearly stating the facts, but why is it so embarrassing...
Huo Ran was still fantasizing, "Or should we ride a bicycle? I've ridden before, so I don't know if you're comfortable with it."
"But it's summer now, and the weather is starting to get hot. Cycling will be hard work and you'll get a tan."
"...Is riding a bike too much of a stretch?"
Tao Zhiyue worked hard to think of a compromise, "There is a bus at the airport, you can take the bus."
According to the logic of the previous deduction, if a vehicle with multiple people is involved in a car accident, the damage to specific people will be very uncontrollable, and it will also affect a large number of innocent people.
In this way, it is not a simple love story, and the whole story will become heavy.
Tao Zhiyue has a very firm intuition that the plot will not arrange such a development.
"Isn't the bus dizzy?" Huo Ran was curious.
"Anyway, I don't feel dizzy on the bus at the moment." Tao Zhiyue said, feeling crazily guilty, "Maybe it's because there are so many people and I feel safer, so I don't feel uncomfortable."
"So that's how it is." Huo Ran was thoughtful.
Tao Zhiyue, who was ashamed for telling a series of lies, was about to apologize again, when Huo Ran's eyes suddenly lit up.
Many couples who came back together held hands, chatted and walked to the airport bus ticket office on the other side.
"Taking the bus together is also a rare experience, let's go, let's buy tickets."
Huo Ran turned to the white-gloved driver and said, "Uncle Zhang, you can go back. We will take the bus these two days."
Uncle Zhang nodded in agreement, smiled kindly at Tao Zhiyue, turned and got into the car.
Then Huo Ran gently took Tao Zhiyue's arm and led him to follow the crowd to the ticket office.
Tao Zhiyue remembered the temperature of his palm, it was still astonishingly hot as that day.
It makes people want to reach out and hold it.
Half an hour later, they were sitting on a bus full of passengers, receiving frequent scrutiny from others, and a little girl in the front seat was watching them and whispering.
Generally, you can see many beautiful girls when you go out, but there are very few men who are pleasing to the eye, let alone two people with outstanding appearance sitting together.
Tao Zhiyue began to feel ashamed again.
He didn't think so much before the meeting, and ran over on impulse. He didn't expect that the way of traveling when staying with Huo Ran would become a huge problem.
Not really relying on walking and cycling...
And they were sitting so close to each other now that their shoulders were touching.
He even smelled the refreshing fragrance of the shampoo Huo Ran used.
Tao Zhi was as stiff as a puppet, with no place to rest his hands, and his mind was turbulent.
Huo Ran glanced at him secretly, "Your forehead is sweating, is it hot?"
…hateful straight man.
Before Tao Zhiyue had time to speak, he saw him reach out to adjust the fan blades of the air-conditioning outlet above his head, and turn the direction of the air toward him.
This time the unexpected person became Tao Zhiyue.
"You seem to be very skilled." He couldn't help but said.
What about the cold CEO who promised to be inhumane?
"What proficiency?" Huo Ran was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, and said amusedly, "Do you think I've never taken a bus before?"
"It's written like this in novels and TV dramas." Tao Zhiyue defended in a low voice, "Rich people and...good friends will be very stupid when they take the bus for the first time. environment."
Huo Ran seemed to have opened the door to a new world, "It turns out that you love to watch this kind of TV series, and my younger sister often watches them too, scolding while watching, and continued watching after scolding, and insisted on dragging me to watch together."
Tao Zhiyue was amused, "It's nice to have a younger sister, I want to have a younger sister too."
"I can lend you my sister." Huo Ran thoughtfully smoothed out the slight melancholy in this sentence, "My dad will definitely agree."
The tense feeling gradually faded away, and Tao Zhi put his hands on his lap as naturally as possible.
"My sister will be sad to hear that."
"She won't, she is eager to follow you." Huo Ran accidentally slipped his mouth.
Tao Zhiyue was surprised, "Does she know me?"
Huo Ran looked at him cautiously, "Are you going to be angry?"
"I didn't say anything, but I was so excited after eating hot pot that day, I couldn't help but want to show off to someone, and then..."
"And she likes your character and appearance very much, so it's very satisfying to show off to her..."
Tao Zhiyue's face was almost flushed, he thought for a long time, and solemnly delivered the lore.
"I'm not angry, young master."
Huo Ran:! ! !
"I told Uncle Zhang not to call me that, and I must change it next time."
Huo Ran silently turned his face away, his ears turned red suspiciously.
Well, good friends should be ashamed together.
After all, today is a day of shame.
The bus drove steadily towards the urban area with whispering whispers all the way.
The terminal of the airport bus is in the old town, and the neighborhood is very lively. It just got dark, and there are food stalls everywhere.
As soon as we got out of the car, there was a spicy and delicious aroma of fried crab in the wind.
Huo Ran's originally planned luxurious dinner was instantly forgotten by him.
Tao Zhiyue also doesn't want to go to some very restrained high-end restaurants. The best food in a city is often hidden in the streets and alleys.
They walked slowly through the crowd.
"I just discovered that this place is very similar to Nanshan Road, and I rarely came here before."
Huo Ran looked at him with a smile, his eyes were rendered tender by the night.
Tao Zhi felt even more regretful, that night he could only eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes at home, and after eating, he had to make up for unfinished work during the day.
"How many snacks did you buy that day? Only the best ones were selected."
"Not a lot." Huo Ran scratched his head, "I bought everything you would like to eat before I knew it."
"Then what do you like to eat?"
"I'm not picky eaters, I'll eat anything." Huo Ran thought for a while and added, "But I don't eat smelly things, it's too scary."
"I went to Sweden a few years ago, and I didn't know the canned herring that was already famous on the Internet at that time. The local friends enthusiastically advised me to try it. I saw it as a small tin can. I never thought it would be like this after opening. lethality."
"Later, I searched the Internet for stinky delicacies from other countries overnight, for fear of accidentally smelling something I shouldn't. I just smelled it once, and it took a long time for my nose to return to normal."
Tao Zhi was overjoyed when he heard it, his eyes curved into beautiful arcs.
Huo Ran looked at him in a daze, "...Thinking about it now, it doesn't seem so miserable anymore."
Tao Zhiyue pushed him embarrassingly, not letting him look at him, "Let's go, let's eat spicy crab."
After a while, like the most ordinary couples or friends, they sat on the rough tables and chairs by the side of the road, taking part in a naive crab demolition competition against the hustle and bustle of the night and the gentle evening breeze.
Tao Zhiyue's hometown is along the coast, and he often eats crabs since he was a child, and he is quite skilled in his movements.
Half a crab body was quickly eaten clean, without any waste, Tao Zhiyue was very proud.
"I won, you are so slow."
And Huo Ran was still fighting against the crab meat covered with white soft shell.
Tao Zhi looked at him for a while, and felt that he was really stupid, so he couldn't help but personally guide him.
"Don't eat it vertically, but break it horizontally, the meat is just one by one, very complete."
He stretched out his hand to straighten Huo Ran's wrong posture, and accidentally brushed the side of Huo Ran's face with his fingers.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to burn your fingers to the point of fire.
Tao Zhiyue immediately lowered his head, pretending to eat seriously, and never dared to look at the other person's expression.
After a while, Huo Ran's nonchalant voice came from beside his ear: "I have learned."
He put a crab leg covered with white crab meat into Tao Zhiyue's bowl.
"I removed all the shells. This is the most complete piece in the middle. I can learn quickly."
So Huo Ran's tone was also very proud.
Saying thank you didn't seem to convey the meaning, Tao Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and simply poured Coke into his cup.
Small air bubbles surged in the disposable plastic cup, densely filling his heart.
After this dinner, when walking towards the hotel with Huo Ran, Tao Zhiyu vaguely thought that this should be one of his favorite days in his life.
He never imagined what kind of surprise this person would bring him in the next moment.
So today is not his favorite day yet, because he will love every day in the future.
Huo Ran had already booked the best hotel in the city for him, and Tao Zhiyue didn't refuse.
He is slowly learning to accept other people's kindness calmly. Rejecting timidly is not the best way to deal with it. Responding with the same enthusiasm is the most equal and long-lasting.
But when Huo Ran walked into the elevator with him pretending to be calm, Tao Zhiyue was still surprised.
"I live next door to you today." Huo Ran explained first, "Because I didn't have a good schedule some time ago, and there were those... I was afraid that it would affect my family, so I moved out and lived alone."
"It's boring to live alone. You just came to play. If you need anything, you can call me at any time. It's more convenient to start together tomorrow, so I'll live here."
When Tao Zhiyue walked into the room, his heart beat fast.
The gauze curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows are open, overlooking the brilliant lights of the entire Yanping City, the magnificent scenery is dazzling, and the layout of the room is elegant and simple.
Tao Zhiyue had no time to pay attention to everything around him, and one thing was playing over and over in his head.
Huo Ran lives next door to him.
For the first time, he lived in a place separated by a wall from the person he liked.
Although nothing will happen, but the heartbeat can't be stopped.
Tao Zhiyue sat on the spacious bed, staring at the gaudy TV screen in a daze, without listening to a word.
A few minutes later, the guest in the next room sent a message.
[HR: Are you asleep? ]
[Tao: No. ]
[Tao: Wrap my little quilt tightly.jpg]
[HR: Coincidentally, me too. ]
[HR: It must be because of eating too much! ]
