Chapter 794: So Near yet so Far Away (Part 1)
On New Year's Eve, when the outside world was still discussing the "Authority" magazine's 100 people list this year, Luoyang no longer paid attention to this news. At 11 o'clock at noon, he put on a hat and a mask and went out fully armed. , took Long Wanchun's car to the restaurant for an appointment.
Arriving at the door of the agreed restaurant, Luoyang got off the bus.
Entering the restaurant, Luoyang went to the reserved seat under the guidance of the waiter.
It was Lu Yu'er who made an appointment with Luoyang for dinner. The latter had been clamoring on the phone for Luoyang to treat him to dinner after returning to China. Today he finally kept his promise.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Luoyang arrived at the reserved seat. As a result, Lu Yu'er had already taken the seat first. She was wearing a light blue cotton-padded jacket and a silk scarf around her neck. Her beautiful big eyes were staring down. Holding the phone, he immediately raised his head and looked at Luoyang after hearing the movement, but his expression seemed a little stunned:
"Who are you...?"
"Don't you recognize me anymore?"
Luoyang took off his hat and mask and said with a smile.
He naturally knew the reason for Lu Yuer's confusion, because his appearance in RB was indeed very different from what he looks like now.
Lu Yu'er's expression became even more astonished. After a long time, she laughed and said: "You shaved off your beard and took off your glasses. Your whole person seems to have completely changed. I really can't recognize it for a while, let alone that we have been together for a year." We haven’t met each other yet, but why do I feel that you look familiar now?”
Luoyang sat down and said, "More than just familiarity, you already know me."
Lu Yu'er frowned slightly and said: "No, no, no, I don't know why. I seem to have seen your face like this somewhere before, but this should be the first time I see you take off your glasses and shave." You look like you’ve lost your beard, why does your current face feel strangely familiar?”
"Have you seen me on posters, on TV, or on the Internet?"
"It seems like...ah, Luo Shu, you must be a celebrity or something, right? I travel abroad all the year round, but I don't know any domestic celebrities."
Luoyang took the menu handed by the waiter, checked the dishes, and said: "I am considered a celebrity, but I am not involved in the entertainment industry. I thought you could recognize me at a glance today, but we should wait until after the meal. Well, I'm a little hungry now."
After ordering, Luoyang pushed the menu to Lu Yu'er.
Lu Yu'er casually made a few strokes and returned the menu to the waiter. After the waiter left, Lu Yu'er turned her attention to Luoyang again. Suddenly, she said softly: "If you guessed it right, the name Luo Shu is actually a fake name. , just like your Theking teacher?”
Luoyang didn't expect Lu Yu'er to guess it so quickly.
However, he didn't intend to hide it. He hid Lu Yu'er in RB before for convenience. After all, he and Lu Yu'er were not familiar with each other at that time. Now that Lu Yu'er sees him after returning to China, it is only a matter of time before Lu Yu'er sees through his identity, so he nodded happily. Said: "My surname is indeed Luo. I have had this surname in my past and present lives, but my name is indeed made up, just like Theking."
Lu Yuer was silent for a moment.
Luoyang picked up the cup and took a sip of red date tea.
Just when he was halfway through drinking the tea, Lu Yu'er said: "What a coincidence, so do I."
Luoyang almost choked when he took a sip of tea. Lu Yuer rolled his eyes at him and said: "As for it, the name Lu Yuer is my real name. It was given by my parents. It was not made up casually like you. It's just that I have another name. It's me." Master helped me choose it, so the other name is my pen name."
"No wonder I don't remember a writer named Lu Yu'er."
Luoyang patted his chest to calm down and said, "Looking at how confident you are, your true identity should be quite famous."
Lu Yu'er smiled and was about to speak when the waiter served the dishes. A variety of dishes quickly filled the table. Luoyang couldn't wait to eat. He didn't eat much for breakfast, so he was really hungry now, and What he didn't notice was that Lu Yuer's eyes were looking straight at him at this moment, as if she was crazy.
While eating, Luoyang realized something was wrong.
He raised his head and said, "Lu Yu'er, why am I the only one eating? Aren't you hungry?"
Lu Yu'er shook her head and said, "You can eat first, Luo Shu. Although I know this name is fake, I still want to call it that. For so many days, I...I miss you very much."
After saying this, Lu Yuer's face turned hot. She didn't know where to put her nervous hands, and her eyes were quietly staring at Luoyang. However, Luoyang didn't seem to understand the meaning of Lu Yuer's words. He drank the soup slowly and said :
"Well, I miss you too."
"I mean, actually, I've always been interested in you..."
"Don't you think it's a pity for me to eat so many dishes by myself?"
Luo Yang interrupted Lu Yu'er's words. Lu Yu'er raised her head and met Luo Yang's eyes. The two just looked at each other.
"I understand, thank you."
After a long time, Lu Yuer took a long breath and said no more.
If she still doesn't understand what Luoyang means at this moment, she can only say that she is too stupid. The other party killed the signs twice without leaving any trace, which is equivalent to clearly showing a rejection attitude.
Luoyang could not continue to eat with peace of mind.
Lu Yuer, on the other hand, simply ate a symbolic dessert and stopped taking another bite.
After eating, the two walked out of the restaurant. Luoyang said to Lu Yu'er at the door: "If you have time, I can introduce you to my girlfriend."
Lu Yuer slowly lowered her head, a little disappointed and said: "Don't hint at me anymore, Luo Shu, I'm not stupid, I understand what you mean."
Luoyang opened his mouth, not knowing how to continue. He was vaguely aware of Lu Yuer's feelings for him at first, but he didn't care much, because it was at most some good feelings. This kind of vague good feelings are not uncommon between any couple. Now the two haven't seen each other for a year, and they only contact each other occasionally on the Internet. The good feelings should have dissipated long ago.
But to Luoyang's surprise, Lu Yuer actually took the initiative to confess.
So Luoyang could only refuse. Although this might hurt Lu Yuer, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain. In addition, whether he and Liu Qin are in a nominal relationship or not, he is responsible for the relationship between him and Liu Qin.
"Look, is that Luoyang!"
Just when Luoyang and Lu Yuer fell into silence, a cry suddenly came from the side.
As the exclamation sounded, more and more people around saw Luoyang. At this time, another girl suddenly pointed at Lu Yuer beside Luoyang and said excitedly: "Look, isn't that the romance queen Mi Hu beside Luoyang? I didn't expect that she has such a good relationship with Luoyang?"
"Luoyang!"
"Luoyang!"
"Mi Hu!"
"Mi Hu!"
A person's name is like a tree's shadow.
The power of two super-best-selling writers appearing on the street is undoubtedly terrifying.
In just a few seconds, Luoyang and Lu Yuer were surrounded by passers-by, cheering.
In fact, when he was recognized, Luoyang secretly said that it was bad. He forgot his mask and hat after dinner. Now he was standing at the door of the restaurant without any cover. It would be strange if he was not caught. However, what surprised Luoyang the most was the word "Mi Hu" that was shouted loudly in the crowd——
Mi Hu, is it... Lu Yuer?
Mi Hu, the romance queen of Longguo, is... Lu Yuer?
Luoyang looked up in surprise. Lu Yuer happened to be looking around at the same time. Obviously, the word "Luoyang" that was being shouted out in the crowd also had a huge impact on her. So, their eyes met for the second time in a trance. This time, they were less than a meter apart, but they looked at each other as if they were far away.
