Chapter 7

Oh

... ...

Nan Chu : `` ... ... ''

At that time, the apartment was a one-bedroom unit rented by Lin Luxiao, consisting of three bedrooms and one living room. Apart from one bedroom, the other two rooms were converted into a study and a storage room, cluttered with a pile of training and fitness equipment.

Halfway through, Lin Luxiao extinguished his cigarette, stood up, and left

Nan Chu lowered the car window, gazing at Lin Luxiao's upright figure, and said to Lin Qi: "Wait a moment, I need to smoke a cigarette." Lin Qi turned to glance at her, about to express his frustration, but seeing Nan Chu's indifferent expression, he ultimately refrained from saying anything.

Nan Chu looked up

The heart of the observer races, beating faster.

The man's voice becomes smooth and quite alluring in the night

... ...

Lin Luxiao leaned against the window, smoking

Nan Chu pressed her lips together and said, "Mm."

Unexpectedly, Shen Guangzong arranged for her to take on a clothing advertisement, which is for a major Italian brand, specifically requesting Nan Chu, and the notice was given on short notice, requiring her to fly tomorrow evening

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder; no matter when, the quilt must be folded into tofu blocks

Then Lin Luxiao spread the quilt flat, asking her as he did so: "Did your mother not teach you how to fold a quilt?"

Halfway through, a white plastic bag appeared on the coffee table

She also found it not surprising, even though she was only sixteen at the time

Xi Gu is currently packing her luggage, while Nan Chu hangs up the phone and starts to put on makeup. After rummaging through the wardrobe and fussing for half an hour, she puts on a black low-cut spaghetti strap long dress and stands in front of the mirror to apply lipstick. It is only then that Xi Gu realizes something is amiss and asks her: "Are you going out?"

Perhaps by the time Nanyue returns, she may not even have the chance to see him. Thinking of it this way, this evening seems to have become a gift from heaven to "Nanchu, who is sixteen and experiencing the stirrings of first love"

A takeout order, still steaming hot.

The two of them did not speak along the way; Nan Chu kept looking out the window, seemingly captivated by the flickering neon lights of the night scene outside, while Lin Luxiao engaged in a casual conversation with Lin Qi, who chattered away like a incessant little sparrow, appearing to have a sense of dependence on Lin Luxiao

... ...

Nan Chu finished her makeup, and the low-cut little black dress accentuated her figure. The woman in the mirror had bright eyes, and it seemed she hadn't seen such a version of herself in a long time

He showed little expression, gesturing for her to eat quickly, picked up the remote control, and began searching for something to watch on television. Nan Chu placed the noodles on the coffee table and sat on the floor to eat

Damn your fourth uncle.

Nan initially thought that when the boys in the class exchanged resources in this regard, they always carried a certain inexplicable lewdness

Nan Chu pretended to lower her head to eat noodles, secretly glancing at Lin Luxiao with her peripheral vision

Lin Luxiao tossed the keys onto the cabinet without looking back and walked in, saying: "I have already eaten with the team"

He hunched his back, bent over in front of the bed, and with rare patience said: "First, smooth out the quilt, leaving one-third of the space, then fold it over."

He has always been straightforward in his speech and is not exactly a gentleman, which, to Nan Chu, is rather pleasant.

She instinctively turned her head, and Lin Luxiao tossed the keys onto the coffee table before sitting down beside her.

The original plan was for Nanchu to have a one-month gap.

Here, the same method is used to trim the inner edge to a right angle

Lin Luxiao lowered his head and smiled, then also sat down.

As he bent down, the neckline of his sweater revealed itself, and the slightly prominent collarbone led down to well-defined pectoral muscles, not overly pronounced, yet perfectly outlined. Below the boy's flat abdomen, the faint outline of the 'mermaid line' was visible.

Nan Chu opened the window, and the wind rushed in with a whoosh, causing the trees outside to sway violently. Turning her head, she happened to see Lin Luxiao looking at her, his gaze filled with too many ambiguous meanings, leaving her no room for further contemplation

The images on the television continued to change randomly, and Lin Luxiao couldn't find anything he wanted to watch, so he casually asked Nan Chu, "What do you want to watch?"

... ...

Lin Qi entered after washing his face, and the two were staring at each other. He waved his hand and said: "What are you two up to?"

Nan Chutou did not respond, staring at the mirror while brushing his eyelashes: "He wants you to die, would you go?"

He lounged lazily on the sofa, his elbows resting on the armrests, a cigarette pinched between his fingertips. His long legs were slightly apart, and the smoke filled the air. When he smoked, he would squint slightly, then part his lips just a bit to exhale a ring of smoke

As she was leaving, she pinched Xigu's little face and said, "I'm leaving, be good, don't get into trouble for me, do you understand?"

Lin Luxiao was the first to stand up and walk out, while Nan Chu's expression returned to indifference as she slowly followed behind.

However, Lin Luxiao did not.

That night

Men and boys are truly different

The voice also carries the unique clarity of youth, unlike the current coldness and restraint

He deliberately slowed down his movements, pointed to the corner, and said, "Here, create a right angle."

She turned her head away and suddenly recalled the time five years ago when she moved into his house

Three people got on the bus

Lin Luxiao emerged from the bedroom wearing a loose gray sweater and black trousers, pulling the little girl who was eating into the room and pressing her onto the chair by the bed, "Watch," he said

Lin Luxiao leaned against the wall, brushed off the ash from his cigarette, and glanced over, "It's crooked"

Lin Sha Bai Tian took the lead in getting into the passenger seat. Nan Chu glanced at Lin Lu Xiao, and just then, he also cast a glance at her. Being tall, he looked down at her from above, pointing his chin towards the car door. Nan Chu shot him a look, then opened the back seat door and sat down.

... ...

Nan Chu sat on the floor holding a bowl of noodles, her gaze clear as she stared at the screen, which had just paused on a classic line: "Though one drinks, one does not indulge; though one immerses in desire, one knows moderation."

There were still a few crying scenes left to shoot, but the director waved his hand and said, "Kill them, kill them"

Brother Zong asked me to keep an eye on you; you must not wander off

What is this? asked Nan Chu

In any case, he lacks the confidence to continue filming; the crying scenes of those actresses are so exaggerated that if he were to keep shooting, he would likely suffer from a mental breakdown

She casually extinguished the cigarette and said to Lin Qi, "Let's go"

This film is a remake from Hong Kong, and many explicit scenes have been cut, leaving little that is inappropriate. However, the overall atmosphere of the movie revolves around sex workers, and some scenes still leave viewers blushing.

A cigarette has passed.

Nod, nod

He curled the corner of his mouth and asked, "Will it stack up?"

shaking one's head, shaking one's head

There were still a few grains of rice hanging at the corner of Nan Chuzui's mouth

Nan Chu sat down at the dining table to have dinner

Lin Luxiao raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"

Nan Chu did not hesitate to choose Lin Luxiao

As he spoke, Lin Luxiao slightly raised his head and glanced at Nan Chu, but the young girl was fixated on him. The next moment, she swallowed hard, clearly not paying attention.

Between eating and making the bed

No wonder Lin Qi asked him to deliver the tickets that day

The little girl let her face fall, then turned around to adjust it, until she folded the quilt into a perfectly square standard tofu block

Nan Chu calculated the days, and tomorrow will be the 9th.

The young girl is progressing quickly, improving with each passing time. Sometimes, when she folds well, she feels happy and turns her head to look at him, wearing an expression that seeks praise.

Nan Chu : `` ... ... ''

He spoke in a methodical manner

Nan Chu shook the small Lady Dior bag in her hand

Lin Luxiao went in to change out of his casual clothes, his gaze casually sweeping around. Although this girl had zero cooking skills, the house was still clean and not too messy. At that time, he was also a young man who didn't know how to take care of others. Most things could be negotiated, but his eyes sharpened when he saw the bed.

The curry rice on the table was no longer edible, and since Nan Chu was not hungry anyway, she poured it out, sat on the sofa, and took out the script to study. This was the first film she would be participating in.

Lin Luxiao shook his head, lit a cigarette, and pointed at the television with his chin: "No, just watch."

He looked at her and threw out a remark

Mingming is still wearing pants

Xi Gu called out to her back: "What on earth are you doing?!"

... ...

Nan Chu does not know how to cook, so every day he orders takeout. One time, when he went downstairs to pick up his order, he happened to see him coming back. After the delivery person finished giving change, Nan Chu hurriedly stuffed it into his coat and quickly followed behind him.

At that time, he was still between adolescence and maturity, with the unruliness of youth yet possessing the composure of a man

Such a disheveled mess, carelessly thrown on the bed, could easily be picked up in a minute and used to deliver a beating

Nan Chu is more precocious than most children, understanding what this feeling is and recognizing what this physiological response entails

At that time, Lin Luxiao's physique was not as robust as it is now; he had a youthful build, tall and slightly slender. His features were not as defined as they are now, but rather round and delicate. His skin was fairer than it is now, and his eyebrows and eyes had a slightly mischievous tilt. His personality was also not as composed and understated as it is now; he was more willful and flamboyant back then

Nan Chu stood by the bed, holding her "thoughts" and folding the so-called "tofu blocks" over and over again

The car stopped beneath a residential building, and Nan Chusi's thoughts were pulled back. Lin Luxiao opened the car door and got out. She glanced around and was surprised to find that this was actually near the campus setting of the drama she was currently filming.

However, the tone of speech is at least calm

to clear the shame of the past

He furrowed his brows, stood up straight, and placed his hands on his hips, "Do I look good?"

Lin Luxiao : `` ... ... ''

Lin Luxiao finally nodded in satisfaction, extinguished the cigarette, and walked out.

Lin Luxiao: "Aren't you still hungry?"

A month later, the campus drama has finally wrapped up filming

At that time, the hair seemed to be longer than it is now; under the light, the black hair appeared soft and loose, irresistibly inviting one to touch it

Nan Chu took another bite of the noodles, holding it in her mouth without biting through, and nodded slightly, "Have you seen it?"

The heating is on in the room

Thank you, Nan Chu said

The movie that day was ultimately not finished

In the sixteenth year of the Southern Dynasty, he stayed at Lin Luxiao's home for a month. During that time, he returned two or three times, each visit lasting a day and a half, while spending the rest of the time in the military. By this calculation, the two cannot be considered familiar with each other.

Upon reaching the upper floor, Lin Luxiao changed his shoes. Nan Chu, holding the curry rice in her hand, felt somewhat troubled. After a moment of contemplation, she decided to hand it to him: "I didn't know you were coming back today. Why don't you eat this first, and I will order another one."

Nan Chu looked up, and the scene happened to pause on a foreign classic, "The Decameron." Taking a sip of noodles, he said, "This one, I haven't read yet"

Did you go out specifically to buy it

He raised his eyebrows, leaned back on the sofa, and said lazily: "Otherwise, is it going to fall from the sky?"

Lin Luxiao glanced at her, picked up a cushion from the sofa, and threw it to her, saying, "Don't sit on the floor bare-bottomed."

Nan Chu watched Lin Luxiao enter a building, and then a few minutes later, a window on the fourth floor lit up

If you cannot stack it well, do not have dinner tonight

As before, fold the other side over, and at the horizontal one-third position, use your finger to pinch out a ten-centimeter wide area

It truly embodies the appearance of youthful recklessness
