Chapter 75 Because of Regret?

The dinner ended with the school leaders' speeches and deafening applause. Jiang Chen dragged his slightly drunk body to the front of his Maybach S600. After finding the key, he was suddenly stunned.

Damn, how am I supposed to drive when I'm drunk?

This is trouble.

A wry smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face. Although his metabolic ability is beyond ordinary people's, and he sobers up fairly quickly, he won't be able to force alcohol out of the body in an instant like a master in a martial arts drama. Traffic police don't believe anything like "I'm not drunk".

Holding the key and hesitating for a moment whether to "take a gamble", he finally sighed.

He took out the phone from his pocket and slid his fingers across the screen, but there was a wry smile on his face.

It's day, who should I call?

Xia Shiyu had just returned, and it seemed a little bad to call them back.

Liu Yao?

When he saw the name, Jiang Chen's fingers froze slightly, and he pressed it down.

"Hello?" A slightly lazy female voice came from the other end of the phone, as if she was about to fall asleep.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chen said with a wry smile. "I."

"Jiang Chen?!" A happy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Isn't there a caller ID... uh, where are you now?"

Lying on the bed, the pair of fair legs swayed back and forth, Liu Yao raised a smile on the corner of her mouth, propped her chin and said softly, "At home, what's the matter? Miss me?"

This seemed to be the first time Jiang Chen took the initiative to call her.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen embarrassedly ignored the next question because he didn't know how to answer.

"How far is your home from Wanghai University?"

Hearing this, Liu Yao couldn't help pouting.

"It's not too far. The subway at the door is two stops away."

"Cough cough. I drank some wine and can't drive the car... How about you pick me up? It's in the artificial lake of Wanghai University." Jiang Chen said cheekily.

The moon was bright and the lake was sparkling. The breeze by the lake is light, the cicadas are sparsely chirping, and the elm trees are rustling. It was already September, and the cool breeze seemed to have begun to take on a hint of autumn.

Feeling the coolness on his arms, Jiang Chen lay on the guardrail of the marble statue and stared at the Huxin Pavilion in a trance.

Speaking of which, when was the last time you passed by here?

Behind it is the English corner, with benches and a green grassy slope, a perfect place to read aloud.

Of course, it is also a very suitable place to show affection, so the students prefer to call it Lover's Slope.

"What are you looking at?"

"Daze." Jiang Chen turned around, leaned on the guardrail and smiled. However, he was instantly amazed by Liu Yao's appearance.

Creamy white dress and high-soled sandals, that white body...

"Those who don't know will probably think that you are a freshman." Jiang Chen said with a wry smile when he came back to his senses.

The corners of the raised mouth seemed to carry a little girl's smugness, and the pretty face under the street lamp was rather green.

...Did I drink too much?

Jiang Chen rubbed his temples.

"No, I met a 'senior' on the way just now, and volunteered to give me a ride." Liu Yao smiled and observed Jiang Chen's profile.

"Oh."

Seemingly dissatisfied with Jiang Chen's bland response, Liu Yao pouted slightly.

"Aren't you jealous?"

Jiang Chen smiled and turned his head to meet those bright eyes like lake water.

The sentence "Why am I jealous?" was frozen in his throat.

"Maybe, a little bit."

Taking his eyes off the pretty face, he looked at the lawn decorated with fluorescent light.

Liu Yao burst out laughing, and the pursed mouth turned into a moon sprout.

"Later, I told him I already had a boyfriend, and he blushed and walked away embarrassed."

Jiang Chen shrugged and said with a smile: "How can you be so direct, and no one said they want to chase you."

"But that look is what it looks like. No one looks down on you except you."

Hearing this, he was stunned, and then fell into silence.

However, the silence was soon broken.

"Want to be my boyfriend?"

"...Speaking of which, did you dress like this on purpose?" Jiang Chen suddenly changed the subject and asked with a wry smile.

That pure white dress, that unpainted face, and those eyes that are like the stars in the clear summer sky...

Liu Yao also did not answer, but got up from the railing against which she was leaning, and stood on the gravel road and turned around gently.

The corners of the skirt were lifted lightly, and she turned back and revealed a small smile.

"Like the girl who watched the movie with you?"

After a moment of silence, perhaps because of alcoholism, Jiang Chen suddenly burst out laughing.

"She's not a good person, why do you imitate her?" After laughing enough, he also got up from the carved fence he was leaning against, and then said with a grin.

"Is she like you imagined her?"

Jiang Chen was stunned, and after a while, he asked in confusion, "Is there a difference?"

However, as soon as the words came out, the answer had already poured into his mind.

In her imagination, she seems to be pure and innocent, innocent and romantic. Although it was later understood that it was all fake, he did once liked the innocent Fang Yuanyuan.

Liu Yao smiled and looked at Jiang Chen. She didn't know the girl, but she vaguely guessed what kind of person he had met. So she played some clever tricks, and when she went out, she put on this long dress from her school days.

"Like a traveler in the desert, walking alone toward a country that doesn't exist." As he muttered to himself, Jiang Chen stared at the loving couple on the lawn.

"Pfft, do you still write poetry?"

"No, just a boring whimper from a boring person."

For some reason, at this moment, he actually missed Sun Jiao, that charming and dark-bellied little girl.

Maybe this is why he fell in love with Sun Jiao?

The self-willed person who dares to love and hate, the frankness that writes everything on his face, the naughty act of doing whatever "bad idea" comes to mind, although there is a tendency to transform like a civilized person, Jiang Chen always has something he wants to tell her." That's fine" impulse, because such girls are almost extinct in this world.

What else is true here?

Suddenly, the softness blocked his lips, and he stared blankly at the lightly closed eyes.

Lip points.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen spoke slowly.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Um."

"Aside from material things, what do you like about me?"

If it's just money, there should be a lot of rich people.

Liu Yao suddenly smiled, "Perhaps, it's because of respect."

That smile was beautiful, but also very helpless.

"That's it."

Desire to be respected because you are not respected?

After a pause, Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully.

"Then do you know why I accepted your invitation to go on vacation with you in the first place?"

"Because of regret?"

Jiang Chen lowered his eyebrows slightly, neither denying nor expressing affirmation.

"...take me home."

Liu Yao's expression was a little disappointed, but she still smiled and nodded.

"Um."

Leaning on the soft passenger seat, Jiang Chen let out a long breath, then stretched out his hand and tugged at his slightly stuffy collar.

"The villa complex in the wealthy district of Mingxing, the innermost one. Do you know the way?"

"There is GPS navigation." Liu Yao gave a wry smile, she had never been to any rich areas.

Jiang Chen didn't speak when he heard the words. Seeing that Liu Yao had turned on the car's GPS and set the destination, she squinted and closed her eyes.

The car drove smoothly. After Liu Yao drove the car out of the campus, she picked up the speed a little. He opened his eyes, looked out of the corner of the window at the flying neon lights, and suddenly asked in a casual tone.

"How have you been?"

"Not good." Liu Yao pouted while holding the steering wheel.

"Oh why?"

"Because the movie someone promised me hasn't been fulfilled." The voice was quite resentful.

"Hehe, how much is it?" Jiang Chen smiled indifferently while taking advantage of the wine.

laugh--!

The car stopped suddenly.

Liu Yao leaned the car to the side of the road, unfastened her seat belt, and turned her face to look at him.

Tears are chewing in those eyes?

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Chen asked with a wry smile.

"In your eyes, I'm just a watch, right?"

Jiang Chen was stunned, he didn't expect her reaction would be so intense with just one sentence.

"Remember that lover's lock at the ends of the earth?"

The Adam's apple moved slightly, and he looked aside, not knowing what to say. Of course he remembered, because what he engraved on it was Chen Lele.

That pure and lovely girl, that character that only exists in film and television works.

"Can't I be your Chen Lele?"

"But you don't—"

"I am."

His lips were blocked by the soft touch again.

The seat belt was unfastened, and he stretched out his hand to hug the soft and fiery body.

The wine has woken up, but people are more drunk.

It was already 10 o'clock in the middle of the night, and there were few pedestrians on the street, and the occasional passing cars left indistinct tail sounds.

The Maybach's sound insulation effect is very good, and it is almost impossible to hear the sound from the outside, so it is impossible for the sound from the inside to come out. Through the lacquered dark-colored glass, you can see pedestrians who occasionally pass by the car, but it is absolutely impossible to see the inside of the car from the outside.

He hugged Liu Yao tightly, sniffed the intoxicating fragrance, listened to the repressed chanting, and let the sweat dripping down with the smell of alcohol.

Maybe alcohol is contagious?

Or maybe it's just drunkenness.

In short, I don't want to think about it anymore.

In this summer and autumn, the spring will continue in the car.
