When they were about to reach the door, Lu Jinnian glanced beside him at Qiao Anhao's outfit, and back at his own . He stopped . "I'll go up and change . "
Qiao Anhao gave a nod . She walked to the entrance on her own . First, she put on her shoes . She'd originally wanted to wear her white strappy heels that she had bought recently, but just as she put her right foot in one shoe, she paused . In the end, she took the shoe off and opened the shoe cabinet . After looking through it for a long while, in the end, she chose to wear a pair of platform canvas shoes .
She bought these canvas shoes this spring, when she and Xiao Anxia had made plans to go hiking . However, because of something last minute, hiking was canceled, and so she left those shoes in a box in the shoe cabinet, and never touched them again .
Qiao Anhao wore the canvas shoes, and stood in front of the floor mirror . After a few glances at her long straightened hair, she asked Madam Chen to give her a black hair band, with which she tried her hair up . Satisfied, she picked up her bag and made her way out the house .
Lu Jinnian saw Qiao Anhao standing at the door, when he had finished changing his clothes . Her long black hair became a youthful, pretty ponytail . He spaced out again for a moment, before reaching for his car keys . He pressed on button, as he walked down the stairs and pulled the car door .
It was two something in the afternoon, the time when the summer sunshine was at it's brightest . Lu Jinnian wore a pair of Dior sunglasses, and a simple white shirt with his sleeves casually rolled up . Two buttons on his collar were unbuttoned, and he wore a long pair of beige trousers . Under the sunshine, he looked captivating and stunning .
Qiao Anhao stared at him for around five seconds before coming over to him . When she brushed past his chest and bent down to sit in the car, she smelled the same dull scent she had smelled years ago . It had never really changed in this many years .
Lu Jinnian started up the engine, which made the air conditioner blow a light breeze and music go off . The car slowly drove out of Mian Xiu Garden and followed the road .
There were many tall trees on both sides of the road in Beijing . They hid most of the sun’s light . All that could be seen were small round dots of sunshine between the tree leaves . As the car drove through, there were intermittent flashes of light and dark .
There was a soothing English song playing in the car that made you feel unexpectedly calm .
After a long while had passed, at a red light, Lu Jinnian turned his head and glanced at Qiao Anhao's outfit . "Did you went to get your hair done earlier this afternoon?"
"Nope . " Qiao Anhao paused for a moment, then said, "I asked Madam Chen to help me straighten it . When I wash my hair, the curls will come back . "
"Oh . " Lu Jinnian's line of sight stopped at her fair white neck behind the ponytail . Then he pulled his eyes away and straight at the red light that had changed to green in front of him . He stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive on .
The car was silent for about a minute . Then Qiao Anhao turned her head, blinked at Lu Jinnian, and asked, "How do I look?"
As Lu Jinnian paid attention to the road ahead, he turned his head and glanced at Qiao Anhao, saying, "Good . " After a while, he added, "You look just like you did in high school . "
Qiao Anhao’s eyes curved like the crescent moon, as though happiness emitted from her heart . "So many years have passed, and you still remember how I looked in high school? Even I can't really remember . "
Lu Jinnian didn't make a sound . In his heart, he said, 'Not only high school . If I close my eyes, I can clearly remember your soft and innocent look in middle school as well . '
