i'm not a bad man

Chapter 42 A New Friend
I held the cigarette in my mouth, guarding the flame of the lighter with both hands, and looked at Lu Xi who was standing across the street; there were vehicles passing by intermittently on the street, and she followed her loomingly until the red light at the intersection blocked all passing vehicles. I just saw her clearly...because it was so real, I was even more moved.

At this moment, she was standing in the wind, the light and shadow flickering in a psychedelic way, only her face and figure were particularly clear...

How wonderful it would be if she ignored all sentient beings and came just for me!
When this desire arose in my heart, there was a sudden burst of heat around me. I thought it was an illusion. It was not until I felt pain that I suddenly realized that the lighter had lit all the cigarettes in my mouth, and the flames had already burned. Into my hands.I panicked, threw away the lighter and cigarette, and kept rubbing my hands to relieve the pain of being burned.

Lu Xi saw my embarrassment and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

This must be a mockery, but it is also a signal to me. She must be here for me.I forgot about the pain, stood up immediately, looked around, and after confirming that there was no car, I jumped over the fence and stood in front of her gracefully.

"Han Erjin, your eyebrows are on fire."

Lu Xi held back his smile and said this to me, and after I really stopped completely, I smelled the smell of feverish hair...

"I rely on!"

I was too concerned about my image. After yelling like this, I quickly took out my phone, then brought up the front camera. I looked closer and saw that half of the eyebrow on my left eye had been burned off. I rubbed it with my hands. Rubbing the burnt area, the ashes of hair fell from between the fingers...

My heart suddenly went cold. Fortunately, I still thought that my posture over the fence was very handsome. But it turned out that I just thought that a person who was missing half of his eyebrows could not be handsome even if he danced happily.

I refused to let go or raise my head, and kept covering the burned area with my hands. I even wanted to run away.

"let me see."

"No, I want to go to the toilet. Let's contact you when we have time."

"What do you mean, contact me when you have time? Are you planning to stay in the bathroom and not come out?"

"As long as you don't look at me, I can live in it."

"No, show me."

After saying that, Lu Xi actually used his strength to pry my hand away, and I quickly covered it with my other hand...

"Don't move around, okay? No one wants to persecute you."

"No, if you move, I want to move."

After saying that, I looked at Lu Xi with my other eye. She had her hands on her hips and looked helpless. After a while, she said to me again: "Don't move, I have a way to remedy it." "

"What can you do?"

Lu Xi opened the shoulder bag he carried with him, then took out an eyebrow pencil from it and said, "I can make up for you the burned piece. It will definitely look better than it does now."

"Are you sure you're not fooling me?"

"Try it, and then you'll know."

I was dubious, but in order to be handsome again, I carefully put down my hand. At this time, Lu Xi also took a step in front of me and motioned for me to lower my head.

The moment I lowered my head, she concentrated on painting me with an eyebrow pencil...

We were so close, I could even feel her breathing, so gentle... And her eyes were starry because of concentration... She was not perfect, there was a very small spot on her forehead. acne marks, but other than that, I can't find any blemishes.

I don’t know why, but this almost negligible flaw actually makes her more real. This sense of realism makes me think about it: if I hold her in my arms at this moment, it will be a full feeling. Or more lonely?

I am full because my heart is moved, and I am lonely because I am afraid that she will not be moved like me. Two people who are not on the same frequency will still be lonely even if they hug each other.

……

"All right."

Lu Xi put away her eyebrow pencil, then took a step back and stared at me; I suddenly came back to my senses, but there was still a feeling of electric shock lingering in my heart.

is this real?

She actually drew my eyebrows for me, in such a deserted street with constant traffic.

"Don't you take a look?"

At her reminder, I quickly raised my phone and took a look. The burned area had been repaired. Although it wasn't perfect, it was enough to cope with it. If I didn't look closely, I couldn't see anything wrong with it.

"It's really not bad." "I gave it to you."

With that said, Lu Xi handed the eyebrow pencil to me. I took it from her hand and felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in my heart. I really wanted to say something to her.

At this time, she put her hands behind her back and looked towards the place with the densest traffic...

It was at this moment that a white Porsche 911 came speeding from an intersection, then braked suddenly and stopped beside Lu Xi and me.

The car window opened, and a woman who was slightly older than Lu Xi and slightly smaller than me stretched her head out of the driver's window. She said to Lu Xi angrily: "Lu Bao'er, get in the car."

Lu Xi nodded, then looked at me again.

I suddenly felt lost. It turned out that she put on makeup and exquisite clothes not for me.It was only because I refused to leave that we met here again.

"I made an appointment with my friends to go see a movie together...I'm leaving first."

"okay."

At this time, the woman in the car also asked Lu Xi out of curiosity: "Lu Bao'er, who is he?"

"A friend I just met."

The woman looked at me and suddenly smiled and said, "Looking at his figure, he couldn't be the man who ran into your room in the middle of the night, right?"

"No, that's an asshole, that's my friend."

I was very surprised. I didn’t know why Lu Xi denied it, but I didn’t feel disgusted with this statement in my heart, because it meant that our relationship was no longer hostile, and she began to treat me as a friend.

The woman smiled and turned to me and said, "Handsome man, do you want to go see a movie together?"

"Forget it, your car only has two seats. If I squeeze in between you, won't I end up hugging each other and acting like a hooligan?"

"You want to be beautiful and want to squeeze in among us. You can lie on the roof of the car and let me try what a real ride is."

I sang: "I should be under the car, not in the car, seeing how sweet you are..."

The woman laughed and turned to Lu Xi and said, "Haha, it's quite interesting. He even sang... What's the name of this song? It sounds so familiar."

I also smiled and said, "Adu must love you very much... you can go watch a movie, and I won't be your light bulb."

With that said, I opened the passenger door for Lu Xi. After Lu Xi got into the car, I joked again: "I think Lu Baoer sounds pretty good. Can I call you that too in the future?" "

Before Lu Xi could speak, the woman raised her fist, then stared at me and said, "Do you want to die? I am the only one in the world who can call her this... She is my Lu Bao'er."

I smiled coquettishly, but before I could say anything, the woman closed the passenger window domineeringly, then drove Lu Xi and disappeared into the city night...

……

Holding the paintbrush given to me by Lu Xi, I kept looking at the intersection where the car disappeared. I couldn't say I was disappointed, but I was still happy.

After all, she didn't put on makeup for me, but she also drew on my eyebrows to keep me from looking too ugly.

I'm even more looking forward to the next meeting, but this time, because of that woman's interference, I couldn't say goodbye properly. What's more, if I leave tomorrow, whether I will go back to Qingdao or not has to be decided separately. It seems that I can't talk about the next meeting. A little too early.

……

Before leaving, I wanted to remember the atmosphere of this city, so I closed my eyes and took a deep breath...

The air is a bit humid, and this is my last memory of Qingdao.

And Tianjin is the city I am about to face.

Are they all right?
Will you hate me?
Or have you let go?

With these questions in mind, I finally took steps, stepping on the reflection of the city, towards the nearest bus stop.
