Trajectory 2: entangled curves

Chapter 224 There is still a big difference

Since they mentioned their childhood, Zhuge Qinuo was even more unwilling to show weakness. She leaned on his back and said, "When you were a child? Are you sure you often carried me on your back when you were a child? You didn't bully me?"

"Mind the door!" Huang Cangran chose to ignore it.

The corridor was very quiet. He was dressed in a suit and she was dishevelled. Although there was no one around, she still felt a little ashamed: "Is this really okay? I am so old, is it appropriate? I can walk by myself."

Huang Cangran: "Who said that? You feel dizzy and can't walk? If you are afraid of being seen, just bury your head deeper."

Zhuge Qinuo really lowered his head, and the moment her forehead approached his shoulder, she smelled his fragrance in addition to the smell of alcohol on her own body.

And he, despite the clothes between them, still felt her breath: "Are you still shy?"

Zhuge Qinuo: "I'm scared. How about you let me down?"

Huang Cangran: “Don’t let go!”

She already knew the answer, but the miraculous thing was that this simple conversation made her feel completely free of shame.

The two entered the elevator.

Zhuge Qinuo couldn't help but ask again: "Actually, I had a question just now."

Huang Cangran: “You ask!”

Zhuge Qinuo turned his head to Huang Cangran and said, "What's wrong with you? We haven't seen each other for such a long time, and now you're doing this?"

He replied: "When you sober up, you will know that you are using the wrong sutra."

Zhuge Qinuo: "If I really got it wrong, my mistake is letting you carry me on your back like this."

Huang Cangran: "It seems that he is not very drunk yet."

"I wasn't drunk per se, I just felt dizzy, that's all." She emphasized the last two words.

She wanted to ask something else when the elevator reached the second floor below ground. He put her in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt expertly.

Zhuge Qinuo smiled and said, "Don't treat me like I can't take care of myself. I just drank a little, I'm not disabled."

"Please sit in the car for a while, I will help you check out." Huang Cangran didn't respond.

Looking at his busy back, she suddenly stopped smiling. She understood some things, but could she let him know that she understood?

When Huang Cangran came back, he smiled at Zhuge Qinuo who had fallen asleep again.

He started the car and drove on the brightly lit but empty street. He also began to let his mind wander. "Is there something wrong with me?" He was also thinking.

"Hey, it's dangerous to be distracted while driving."

Zhuge Qinuo's sudden words startled him, and his hands on the steering wheel trembled.

"It's dangerous when you speak so suddenly!" he said.

"Not sleeping anymore?" he asked.

"Sleep!" Zhuge Qinuo replied.

Huang Cangran: "Then sleep a little longer. When we get home, you don't have to wake up. I'll carry you on my back."

"I'm not drunk to death. How can I not wake up if you carry me on your back?" Then, she went straight to the point, "You are so nervous, isn't it because of him?"

These words made Huang Cangran slam on the brakes.

The answer is already obvious.

Huang Cangran started the car slowly without saying anything else.

The question Zhuge Qinuo asked was actually more than just a question. The answer was not about whether she was nervous or not. If Huang Cangran admitted that she was still so nervous because Zhuge Yihua appeared in front of her, it could only mean that in his heart, she was so important that she could not be more important.

They haven't seen each other for more than ten years.

Yes, he came back because of her divorce, and he took care of her as much as he could, but as he said, and as everyone knew, it was just a childhood friendship, the kind of friendship that a brother has for his sister.

Yes, he kissed her forcefully during the filming, and even said something "outrageous" like "If others can do it, what about me?" There must be some feelings, but who knows? Was he really still in her heart, was it out of love, or was he angry at Deng Qing and acted on impulse?

There is still a big difference between love and impulse.

Therefore, Zhuge Qinuo didn't dare to ask at first. She was afraid that his answer would be affirmative. She couldn't give him the answer he wanted, but she couldn't let him down for waiting for so many years. She was afraid that he would be disappointed and sad again. There was not much sincerity in this world, and she didn't want to hurt anyone who was sincere to her.

Therefore, Huang Cangran did not dare to answer easily. He wanted to tell her that he cared about their meeting, that he was wrong, and that he was still waiting for her. But he did not dare to, because he remembered how they missed each other.

If she wasn't ready, she would run away again, just like before. This time, because of her divorce, he finally got closer to her. He didn't dare to force her and force her to go to someone else.

Huang Cangran did not answer, and Zhuge Qinuo did not press the issue. In fact, she was impulsive in asking this question. Because, just when Huang Cangran went to check out, she received a WeChat message from Zhuge Yihua.

"Are you still awake? Open the door!"

"Where have you been? I'm at the door."

"I have something to say to you."

……

Y City is not big, and traffic is even smoother at night. In about ten minutes, the car entered the community and drove to the basement.

"You wait!" After the previous sentence, Huang Cangran finally spoke.

This time, Zhuge Qinuo did not refuse, and she waited for him to carry her.

Huang Cangran opened the door, and Zhuge Qinuo looked at him and smiled.

He complained: "You must have drunk too much and become stupid. If you still have the energy to laugh, take some effort and come up actively."

Zhuge Qinuo obeyed and did as he was told, but he didn't let him go: "I didn't ask you to carry me."

She was telling the truth, and he had no power to refute: "Okay, aunt, I begged you."

Huang Cangran's "surrender" suddenly made her feel much happier. After living for half her life, she still only dared to confront Huang Cangran without any scruples, and only dared to be unbridled in front of him. Only in front of him did she not have to worry about many identities, responsibilities, and images, because these did not exist when they met.

Zhuge Qinuo lay on Huang Cangran's shoulder and observed him boldly.

He walked a few steps and arrived at the elevator door. He pressed the elevator button before saying, "Why, asking stupid questions isn't enough, you have to stare at me?"

"What's wrong with staring at you? If I'm not looking at you, am I looking at a wall or a ghost? I haven't seen you for more than ten years, so what's wrong with looking at you for a while longer?" She was being extremely shameless in front of him.

"How come we haven't seen each other for more than ten years? Didn't I just come back? This time I was out, it was only a little over a year at most, how come it's been more than ten years again? So, the ones before that don't count? You never even looked at me straight in the eye? Stop being so arrogant, okay?"

His aggrieved look made Zhuge Qinuo chuckle.

Huang Cangran: "How can you still laugh like that?"

He lifted her up on his back.

The elevator arrived, they entered, and the door closed.

She restrained her smile and suddenly changed the subject: "Yes, he is back."

In the small space with only two people, she brought up the topic again. She wanted to make sure he heard it. There was no reason to pretend not to hear it or avoid it.
