the moon is not as good as you

Chapter 7 Thank you for participating
There are large shady ginkgo trees planted outside the Grand Theater.The night sky in late spring is free and relaxed, and the moon is clear, hanging quietly above the world.

There is an old grocery store at the intersection, selling some nostalgic snacks and gadgets.Seeing Lu Li happily go in to pick things up, Jiang Ningyu was about to leave when Lin Xuyue suddenly asked her, "Listen to them, are you going abroad?"

Not knowing who "they" were referring to, Jiang Ningyu didn't ask, but nodded and said, "Well, go learn music."

"Europe? Or America?"

"America. My mother..." Mentioning her mother gave Jiang Ningyu a headache, but she still couldn't help complaining, "I must go to her alma mater."

Lin Xuyue smiled, and just about to say something, suddenly Lu Li came out with a bottle of old-fashioned iced black tea, and said to Jiang Ningyu, "The boss said that there are prizes on the drinks here, you play the piano so well OK, do me a favor?"

Maybe he came with Lin Xuyue, but since they were classmates, Lu Li didn't intervene much along the way, in line with the image of someone in the next class who didn't meet.Jiang Ningyu was surprised when she opened her mouth at this moment. She didn't turn her head around for a while, and didn't understand the necessary connection between playing the violin and opening the bottle cap.

However, after the drinks were handed over, she could only smile and say, "You can't blame me if you don't win the prize." Then she unscrewed the bottle cap.

Not surprisingly, the words "Thank you for participating" were engraved on it.

Lu Li stared blankly at the bottle cap in his hand, with a strange expression on his face.Jiang Ningyu thought he was disappointed, and immediately emphasized, "Don't blame me!" Hehe said to the boss who came out, "Another bottle?"

Lu Li shook his head slowly, "No, today is not my lucky day."

And Lin Xuyue immediately made a joke, "It's just that I didn't find the right goddess of luck."

In the end, they separated with a smile that day.But Jiang Ningyu always felt that there was regret on Lu Li's face, and Lin Xuyue's expression was also weird.

But it doesn't matter.They will most likely never see each other again.They are all passers-by who will eventually be forgotten in memory, an insignificant spring night, a trivial matter that is not worth worrying about, don't take it seriously, don't keep it in your heart.At least that's what she thought then.

But she didn't expect that they would meet again in America...

Chuck——

The car swerved smoothly and stopped on the side of the road, and the sharp scratching sound brought back Jiang Ningyu's wandering thoughts, and also broke the silence in the air.

"Are you okay?" Lu Li leaned out the car window and asked.

It's all here, and it's deliberate to refuse.Jiang Ningyu could only nod, "Yes." Then she opened the rear door and hopped in with one foot.

At the same time, Lin Xuyue came in from the other side of the car door.

Meeting his eyes, Jiang Ningyu asked, "Aren't you going to the front?"

Lin Xuyue didn't answer, but turned on the overhead light, "Look at your feet."

Jiang Ningyu pulled up her trousers.She wore a pair of flat peas shoes today, her ankles were exposed, and she was slightly red and swollen under the light.She touched it and it was hot.Sure enough, it was twisted.

Bad luck, really bad luck.

She unconsciously pursed her mouth, thinking of the badminton event she had signed up for tomorrow, she couldn't help feeling regretful.

The man next to him turned his body slightly, stared at her ankle for a while, then turned his head away.

The atmosphere in the car was unusually silent.

Lu Li drove the car silently, while Lin Xuyue looked out the window silently.

Such a scene is both familiar and unfamiliar.What is familiar is that the three of them used to hang out together often, but what is strange is that after many years, they have reached the point where they are speechless.

They haven't been in touch for two years, and when they met, they were too polite, and it's normal for them to have nothing to talk about.

But Jiang Ningyu couldn't help but wondered if it was a problem with yesterday's circle of friends.

Some words should be explained as soon as possible, lest the atmosphere continue to become rigid.Thinking of this, she took the initiative to say, "Lin Xuyue, that circle of friends... I'm sorry."

She tried her best to be sincere and introspective, and continued to explain, suppressing the guilt in her heart, "I brought an intern with me recently, he just graduated and he is more passionate and chatty...I originally sent it to him , I didn’t expect to click on the wrong screen, and it was a joke.”
