south wind into my arms

Chapter 97 Life and Love

After dinner, Lu Sheng and Xu Zhiyao watched the sunset on the beach for a while.The sea view in the evening is another style.The sky is all golden red, and the projection of a setting sun on the sparkling sea is like a golden road.People standing on this section of the Golden Light Avenue seem to be able to step on it to the other side of the light at any time.

She looked at the sunset, and Xu Zhiyao looked at her.

She is wearing a floral dress, her hair is draped over her shoulders, and she has a graceful figure, gentle and pretty. This is a rare moment for her to be more feminine.

He looked a little fascinated.

After a while, Lu Sheng turned to Xu Zhiyao and said, "Shall we go back?"

Xu Zhiyao immediately turned his head and looked away to hide his guilty conscience, "Yes."

When they went back, they stopped by and bought some snacks and appetizers, all of which were highly recommended by netizens.Lu Sheng looked at so many appetizers, and said to Xu Zhiyao, "Why don't we have some drinks today?"

"Ah? Are you okay?"

"I want to drink."

So Xu Zhiyao took Lu Sheng into a tobacco and alcohol store on the side of the road.Xu Zhiyao felt that since he was here for tourism, of course he had to taste the local specialties, so he asked the boss, "Do you have any local specialty wine?"

The boss pointed to a box on the counter, "The best selling specialty is this."

Xu Zhiyao picked up the wine box and looked at it carefully, and Lu Sheng also looked over his head curiously.The name of the wine is "Hippocampus Wine". Not to mention the ingredients, the effect is very strange: tonifying the kidney and strengthening the yang...

"Hey." Lu Sheng let out a slightly strange exclamation.

When Xu Zhiyao saw the word "strong yang", he felt a little embarrassed, quickly put down the wine box and said, "Who wants this!" He said, sneaking a look at Lu Sheng, and found that she was staring at Haima Wine, with that expression, seems to want to take a sip.

Xu Zhiyao blushed and raised his hand to block her sight, and said, "Junior Sister, you can't drink anymore."

Lu Sheng swallowed, "I don't drink." But I want to buy...

Well, she wouldn't buy this kind of wine in front of Xu Zhiyao, what if Xu Zhiyao noticed...

They ended up buying some beer and coconut wine and went back to the hotel.

The hotel is family-style, with two bedrooms and one living room. There is a balcony outside the living room, with spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, tea tables and wicker chairs.Sitting on the balcony, you can watch the scenery and blow the sea breeze.

They laid out the food, drank and ate meat, and chatted.

At this moment, Lu Sheng's phone rang, and her heart skipped a beat, thinking it was Nan Feng calling, but she took the phone over to check, ah, a little disappointed.

It's Xu Mengmeng.

Lu Sheng only thought it was Xu Mengmeng's New Year's call, and when she answered it, her tone was deliberately light.Unexpectedly, Xu Mengmeng said, "Lu Sheng, how could you treat me like this! I treat you as a good sister!"

"Ah?" Lu Sheng was a little confused, "What's wrong with me?"

"You and Xu Zhiyao went on vacation together, right?"

"how do you know?"

"Don't worry about how I know, I'll just ask you, what do you mean?!"

"I..." Lu Sheng patted his head, only to realize that Xu Mengmeng might have misunderstood her intentions.She was very touched that Xu Zhiyao was willing to go out with her to relax. The two had been friends for eight years, and she felt that it would be hypocritical to say more.But Xu Mengmeng doesn't necessarily think so, maybe Xu Mengmeng thinks that she is also interested in Xu Zhiyao...

Lu Sheng glanced at Xu Zhiyao who was sitting opposite. He was pouring wine for her with his head down. He seemed to notice her gaze. He raised his eyes to look at her and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Lu Sheng waved to him, then walked into the living room and continued talking on the phone.

"Mengmeng, listen to me, don't think too much. You know that I'm broken in love. Xu Zhiyao just wants to relax with me. We're just friends, good friends."

"Then did you ask him for me?"

"I... will ask in a while."

Only then did Xu Mengmeng feel a little satisfied, and then said, "Also, you understand the man my best friend is looking for? Don't get too close to him, or I'll be jealous!"

Lu Sheng was a little embarrassed, "I have known him since childhood, how do you let me alienate him? Besides, next year is the year of the Asian Games, and both of us will go to the national team for training. As friends or partners, not only can I not Avoid him, but also maintain familiarity and tacit understanding with him."

"Okay then." Xu Mengmeng felt a little smothered again.

Lu Sheng comforted her and hung up the phone.

When they returned to the balcony, without waiting for Xu Zhiyao to ask, Lu Sheng took the initiative to say, "It was Xu Mengmeng just now."

"Well," Xu Zhiyao pointed to the lunch box, "Junior Sister, try this, it's delicious."

Lu Sheng felt that Xu Zhiyao didn't seem to be too interested in the word Xu Mengmeng.She asked Xu Zhiyao bluntly, "Are you...interested in Xu Mengmeng?"

Xu Zhiyao gave her a strange look, "What's the point?"

"Just like it. Do you like her?"

"I don't like it!" Xu Zhiyao seemed a little annoyed.He didn't really care about Xu Mengmeng, but when Lu Sheng asked this question, it just made him unhappy.

"If you don't like it, you don't like it. Don't be angry."

Impulsively, Xu Zhiyao said, "I have someone I like."

"Eh?" Lu Sheng was surprised, "Who do you like?"

I like you.

Xu Zhiyao had recited these four words silently in his heart countless times, but this time he almost blurted them out.

However, he finally snuffed it out in time.

No, you can't confess at this time.He knows her too well, even if he confesses his love now, it will only add more embarrassment and troubles to her.Other than that it doesn't help.

The only thing he wants is for her to be good, no matter what form it takes.

Xu Zhiyao paused, then smiled, "What I like is mathematics. Mathematics is the sexiest girl in the world."

"Cut!" Lu Sheng snorted pretending to be disdainful.Is this showing off your intelligence?right?

Xu Zhiyao said, "Junior Sister, what I want to say is—"

"What is it?"

"Love is not everything in our life."

She was not used to him looking at her so solemnly.She scratched her head, gave a heavy "hmm", and then said, "Yes, I want to play hard and show them a world!"

Who the "they" here refers to is probably difficult for her to say clearly.

Lu Sheng suddenly discovered that if only measured by the proportion of time occupied, tennis is more like the whole of her life.

So, is tennis actually her true love?
Drinking a little wine and chatting like this, blowing the sea breeze and listening to the sound of the waves, Lu Sheng unconsciously felt that his heart had expanded a lot.

After drinking, she drank too much.His face was flushed, his eyes were fascinated, and he looked at Xu Zhiyao opposite him with a smirk.She could no longer see him clearly, and the person in front of her was blurred into a phantom.

Xu Zhiyao was still awake.In fact, neither of them drank much, but Lu Sheng's drinking capacity was too bad.

He got up and helped her into her room.

Lu Sheng couldn't even walk steadily, swaying left and right, Xu Zhiyao held her shoulders, the skin on the exposed shoulders was smooth and delicate, her soft and warm body was almost wrapped in his arms, which made him a little distracted.

I have never been so close to her, so close that the atrium is almost stuck together.

She had never been so far away from her, and she kept calling another name in a blur of consciousness, as if there was a distance as wide as the Milky Way between her and him.

Lu Sheng danced while walking, and accidentally scratched her schoolbag on the table to the ground.

Xu Zhiyao sighed, put Lu Sheng on the bed, took off his shoes, covered her with the summer quilt, and comforted her softly, "Sleep, I'll see him when I fall asleep."

She gradually quieted down.

He bent down and held her face in one hand, watching her frown slightly with her eyes closed.Suddenly, he leaned over, lowered his head, and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Junior sister, please forgive me for being a little wayward.

Xu Zhiyao straightened up and walked out the door.When he walked to the table, he picked up the schoolbag that Lu Sheng had thrown to the ground.

The schoolbag was not zipped properly, and everything spilled out, except for some small items for travel, and a book.

A little curious, he picked up the book and glanced at the cover.

The title of the book on the cover made him almost suspect that he didn't know Chinese characters——

"Male Sexuality - Treatment of Dysfunction"? ?

He flipped through it roughly, and made sure that the title of the book was not deceiving. The whole book talked about how to treat men's obstacles, what kind of medicine, surgery, food, psychotherapy, combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine... the content is very rich , There is also a special chapter at the end to encourage patients to have confidence and never give up hope...

Xu Zhiyao had a feeling of being struck by lightning.

How could Lu Sheng read this kind of book?Isn't her favorite inspirational chicken soup, when did it become so heavy?It is also impossible to simply seek novelty, the only explanation is——

Recalling Lu Sheng's great interest in seahorse wine when he bought the wine just now, Xu Zhiyao felt as if he had touched the truth.

What a terrible truth...

At this moment, the cell phone rang suddenly in the silent night, startling Xu Zhiyao, shaking out the book.

He picked up the book and put it in his schoolbag, and turned around to find that Lu Sheng's phone on the bedside table was vibrating and singing.He got up and walked over, and saw that the caller ID was "Nanfeng".

Xu Zhiyao can't look directly at these two words now.

The phone rang and rang, and after stopping once because no one answered, it immediately rang again.

Lu Sheng was so noisy that he turned over and snorted uncomfortably.

Nanfeng persistently calls at this time, is there something urgent?
Xu Zhiyao was a little worried, so he pressed the answer button.Before he could speak, Nan Feng spoke first: "Lu Sheng, let's talk."

"Nan, Coach Nan, it's me."

Through the mobile phone, Nan Feng and Xu Zhiyao kept silent for a minute.

Later Nanfeng asked Xu Zhiyao: "Where's Lu Sheng?"

Xu Zhiyao replied, "She fell asleep."

"So," Nan Feng's voice was cold and deep, "Why can you answer her phone?"

Xu Zhiyao didn't want to explain too much at first. Isn't it all because of this person that Lu Sheng is so sad? It's good to be angry with him.However, when Xu Zhiyao thought of the reason for their breakup, he somehow sympathized with Nanfeng, what a crime!
Well he admits that besides that he has a little bit of schadenfreude, just a little bit, insignificant, hmm.

So Xu Zhiyao replied, "Lu Sheng is drunk, I will help her back to the room."

"Drunk, drunk?" The words were almost uttered through gritted teeth.

Xu Zhiyao explained again, "She is in a bad mood, you know that."

Nanfeng didn't ask her why she was in a bad mood.Everyone knows why.He asked Xu Zhiyao, "Where are you?"

"Sanya."

"Where is Sanya?"

"Coach Nan, are you coming over?"

"Answer me, where is Sanya?"

Xu Zhiyao whispered, "Even if you come, you can't do anything..." As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his words might hit Nanfeng's sore spot, Xu Zhiyao immediately said, "I didn't mean that , don't think too much about it."

Nanfeng felt that Xu Zhiyao was talking nonsense as always, and the food for so many years was wasted.

The next day, Lu Sheng and the others went to the tropical rainforest scenic spot. They played for a long time and experienced the customs of ethnic minorities. They danced with girls of the Li ethnic group and ate special delicacies... Anyway, they had a good time.

Of course, it is also very tiring.

Back to the hotel in the evening.Lu Sheng was carrying half a catty of radish cake in her hand, and while walking, she discussed with Xu Zhiyao where to have dinner later. When she walked into the hotel lobby, she saw a person sitting on the sofa in the rest area.

She thought she was wrong.How could Nanfeng appear here?
Xu Zhiyao also thought he was wrong - he obviously didn't tell Nanfeng where they were last night!

Nan Feng sat quietly on the sofa, his eyes were so calm from a distance away, but his complexion was not very good, as if he hadn't had enough rest.

Maybe because of sitting, his aura is a bit strong.His brows were slightly furrowed, and together with the faint scar under his cheekbones, his demeanor was cold and sharp, making it difficult to get close to him.

Lu Sheng didn't know how he was feeling.A little more happy, or a little more sad?A little more pleased, or a little more angry?All in all, it's a mixed bag of flavors.

Nan Feng's eyes stayed on Lu Sheng's face for a long time, and finally he said to Xu Zhiyao, "I have something to say with Lu Sheng, you go back first."

Xu Zhiyao glanced at Lu Sheng, who nodded.

After Xu Zhiyao left, Nan Feng got up, and Lu Sheng stood there without looking at him with his head down.When he came over, she felt a familiar breath, but kept her head down as if angry.

"Go for a walk," he said.

"Ah."

The two went to the beach.At this time, the setting sun is about to fall into the sea, and the sea breeze in the evening is humid and cool.With the beating of the waves, the edge of the sea water forms a dynamic white line, winding and extending far and far.

They left four footprints on the sand, and after a while, the footprints were smoothed by the sea, as if no one had ever been there.After walking like this for quite a while, Nanfeng remained silent.

It seems that since the breakup, he has never had such a chance to be alone with her quietly.Instinctively, he wanted to keep this quiet time longer.

Lu Sheng couldn't bear it any longer, and asked Nan Feng, "How do you know we're here?"

"I applied for your Ctrip account for you."

Well, the truth is as simple as that.Lu Sheng nodded and asked, "Then what do you want to come to me today?" Saying this, she looked up at him cautiously, her eyes full of expectation.

But his answer made her a little angry.He said: "Lu Sheng, I didn't break up with you to make you fall in love with someone else."

Lu Sheng snorted coldly, "We've already broken up, why do you care about me? I can fall in love with whomever I want."

Nan Feng frowned and looked at her, "Don't be with Xu Zhiyao, it's not good for both of you."

"If you're not with me, who else will I be with?"

He actually nodded, it's just... shameless!
Lu Sheng was so aggrieved that she wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Why are you?"

"Lu Sheng..."

"Nanfeng, do you love me or not?"

Almost without thinking, he replied, "Love."

This is the first time he said this word to her, but after they broke up.Lu Sheng found it ironic, she smiled at him, and replied, "What a pity, I don't love you anymore."

It was obviously an angry word, but it still made his heart sting.Occasionally, he wanted to hold her hand, but she avoided him.

Lu Sheng turned his head away from him, and asked in a low voice, "Is it possible for us to be together only after that problem is resolved?"

Nanfeng didn't want to leave Lu Sheng a chance, so he answered firmly, "Yes."

"But what if we can't solve it for the rest of our lives? Shouldn't we be together for the rest of our lives?"

Nan Feng was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "No."

Lu Sheng thought to himself, how do you know that it will be cured... Don't say such things, she really can't bear it.

However, Lu Sheng still found it unacceptable for Nanfeng's stubbornness.This is not like the Nanfeng she knew.She raised her head and looked at him solemnly, with clean eyes, looking directly into his eyes.

She said, "Coach Nan, I think you need a little courage."
