Chapter 342 Golden Age
Isn't this fair? Two grown men are jealous of each other and are causing trouble for Zhao Ruoming. It's really annoying.
Since both sides are unwilling to learn to be obedient and sensible, Zhao Ruoming will have to teach them personally what it means to take a step back and see the bigger picture.
It is human nature to mostly like to compromise.
If Zhao Ruoming had bluntly said, "I don't want either of you, I just want to get off work," Duan Ye and Fyodor would probably be very hurt, and might even say in frustration and anger that you have to choose between us!
But if Zhao Ruoming had said, "Duan Ye, you and Fyodor should dance," then the two of them would be completely stunned by the overwhelming feeling of nausea and vomiting, and then would stupidly let Zhao Ruoming go!
Zhao Ruoming was in a good mood after leaving the two big idiots behind. The music at the dance party gave her a headache, so she wanted to go out and have some quiet time.
When he walked out of the hall, Zhao Ruoming saw an unexpected figure.
Du Honggen, wrapped in her warm old-fashioned down jacket, was standing in the snow under the steps, looking up at the ballroom.
When Du Honggen saw Zhao Ruoming, his eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to wave his hand.
Zhao Ruoming ran down the stairs and asked in surprise, "You're here?"
Du Honggen seemed a little embarrassed: "Well, I just suddenly wanted to take a look. I didn't plan to go in."
She was wearing a down jacket bought at a street stall, wrapped up like a dumpling. Her face was bare. There was a natural barrier between her and the glamorous people inside.
Just like countless moments in her life, she could only watch from afar.
Zhao Ruoming noticed that Du Honggen seemed to be in a hurry, and a corner of the hood of his down jacket was folded inside the clothes. He reached out and helped Du Honggen straighten the hood.
This action accidentally hooked something on Du Honggen's neck. Zhao Ruoming had excellent eyesight and vaguely saw something flash by. His pupils suddenly shrank slightly.
Du Honggen didn't notice Zhao Ruoming's stiffness and suggested, "Let's take a walk." It was indeed cold to stand in the same place in the middle of winter.
Zhao Ruoming started walking with Du Honggen on the campus. After walking for a while, two little tails followed behind them.
Zhao Ruoming knew that Duan Ye and Fyodor would not stay in the ballroom obediently. Anyway, the two of them were just following from a distance, so he just let them go.
This world is similar to Earth in every way, but there are also some subtle differences. For example, today is New Year's Eve, but there is a big, round, white moon hanging in the sky. On Earth, on this day, you usually can't even see a crescent moon.
The moonlight was bright, like salt frost sprinkled all over the ground. Zhao Ruoming and Du Honggen walked under the moonlight, speechless for a while.
This scene is not romantic at all. Because Du Honggen is wrapped like a little penguin. No idol drama would be filmed like this.
The two walked for a while, and finally Zhao Ruoming spoke first: "The necklace on your neck..."
Zhao Ruoming saw clearly that the necklace on Du Honggen's neck was made from the button she had lost in the alley some time ago.
Du Honggen is very clever and has woven several unique wooden buttons around this ordinary school uniform button, making this cheap necklace look elegant and unique.
Du Honggen paused and said slowly: "This was given to me by someone who is very important to me."
Zhao Ruoming whispered, "What kind of person is that?"
"..."
Du Honggen lowered his head and looked at his own and Zhao Ruoming's shadows below his feet.
The bright moon hangs high above our heads, and there is always an insurmountable distance between the two shadows on the ground, neither far nor near.
Du Honggen said sullenly, "He is a coward who is unwilling to admit his identity."
203 said: "Host. The progress bar of the heroine's affection for the hero is full."
Zhao Ruoming looked back. Duan Ye and Fyodor were still following in the distance, without any unnecessary movements.
A certain enlightenment arose in Zhao Ruoming's heart - about those strange moments when her favorability increased inexplicably... If she could have discovered it earlier, would everything be different?
Unfortunately, things have come to this point and there is no point in saying anything more.
Zhao Ruoming stopped, turned his head and looked at Du Honggen, and suddenly said: "Shall we dance here?"
"Here?" Du Honggen was shocked by Zhao Ruoming's suggestion. "I'm not very good at dancing."
"It's okay. I can't dance much either." Zhao Ruoming laughed. "Since we're here for the dance, how can we not dance? We can be a pair of rookies."
Zhao Ruoming seemed to have a kind of infectious enthusiasm. In this freezing cold weather, Du Honggen looked at his face and nodded as if he was possessed.
Duan Ye and Fyodor were keeping a distance of eight feet and following Zhao Ruoming together.
Neither of them was willing to give up, and they were even more worried about leaving the other party alone with Zhao Ruoming. So they just stayed in a stalemate, following each other awkwardly.
To Duan Ye, Du Honggen's coming here was actually a good thing. Zhao Ruoming didn't like women anyway, he liked men, so Du Honggen and Zhao Ruoming strolling under the moonlight was better than any random man walking with Zhao Ruoming.
With such messy thoughts in mind, after walking a few steps, Danye felt that Fyodor beside him stopped.
Duan Ye immediately found an excuse to laugh loudly: "Old White Bear, why did you stop? It's not too late to give up now——"
"Shut up, idiot." Fyodor, who was always silent and gentle in front of Zhao Ruoming, said viciously.
"?" Duan Ye was about to get angry, but after seeing the actions of Zhao Ruoming and Du Honggen in front of him, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!
On the open space in the playground in front of Danno and Fyodor, a handsome boy and a pretty and elegant girl, one wearing a decent and neat white suit, and the other wearing the simplest down jacket, a must-have for winter, were dancing in the moonlight.
Their figures looked so strange, no two people in the world could dance like this.
Their figures look so harmonious because both of them are fully committed and immersed in it, as if they wouldn't care even if tomorrow was the end of the world.
There was no accompaniment, no band, no colorful flashing lights and no extravagant costumes.
There was only moonlight. This unchanging moonlight generously sprinkled on them, resonating with their every dance step, recording the steps of the two clumsy dancers under the eternal moonlight.
!!!
Duan Ye's eyes have already left home, drifting like a hearse, staring at everything in front of him!
Fyodor's face was also very unhappy, but he was a nobleman, so he did not lose his composure.
The first dance with Zhao Ruoming that he and Duan Ye had always dreamed of was won by this unknown little mute!
No wonder Fragment 203 dislikes Du Honggen so much!
Dan Ye's anger had already burned from his heart to his throat. - How stupid he was! How could he think that Fyodor, this clumsy white bear, was his number one opponent?
The one who actually picked the peaches is now dancing happily with Zhao Ruoming!
No matter how Duan Ye and Fyodor tried to break through the defense, Zhao Ruoming and Du Honggen continued their clumsy dance.
When the dance ended, Du Honggen raised his head and looked at Zhao Ruoming's face.
Perhaps smart women are born with the ability to foresee separation. But Du Honggen did not shed tears, nor did she feel the slightest bit of sadness.
Du Honggen remembered a widely circulated sentence.
【The moonlight is so beautiful tonight. 】
The meaning of this sentence is almost equivalent to "I love you". But Du Honggen did not say it out loud.
She was thinking of the second half of the sentence, which few people would mention -
Du Honggen held the button on his neck, took a deep breath, and said:
"I die with no regrets."
After saying this, Du Honggen quickly kissed Zhao Ruoming on the cheek and ran away.
This was the last time she saw Zhao Ruoming in her life. I wonder if Du Honggen would have run slower if he knew this.
Zhao Ruoming stood there, the moonlight stretching her shadow very long.
203 was silent for a moment, then said, "Host, the mission is accomplished."
"Oh?" Zhao Ruoming said in a trance, as if in a dream, "The progress bar has just been filled, and the mission is completed? She doesn't need to be tortured by the hero anymore?"
"The progress bar disappeared after it was full. This novel no longer has a male protagonist." 203 said, "It has become a beautiful youth story about a girl growing up alone."
The words "youthful and beautiful writing" evoked Zhao Ruoming's long-lost memories. During her student days, this kind of novel was indeed quite popular for a period of time.
Zhao Ruoming smiled, lowered his head, and put his hands in his pockets to warm them.
“Is there still a market for this kind of novel?”
"Yes, host." 203 said, "She will walk alone on her own path, carrying with her memories of the people and scenery she met along the way. Thousands of people outside the book will accompany her."
