Chapter 393 What is Love
What is love? No one can give an accurate answer.
In some people’s eyes, love may be the stunning moment of first meeting or the thrill of that moment.
Some people also think that love is long-term companionship, staying together no matter what difficulties and obstacles you face.
Any concern that goes beyond family and friendship can be called love.
Xia Miao once studied Platonic love, and she once felt that there was some such charm between herself and He Shu.
Because among the friends she knew, some had boyfriends since freshman year, and then they quickly developed into the most intimate relationship.
But she and He Shu always insisted on not crossing that line. They were already juniors, but they were still so innocent that they just held hands and kissed.
The so-called "Platonic love" is also called spiritual love, which pursues spiritual feelings rather than physical intimacy.
Xia Miao used to think that He Shu might prefer this kind of relationship.
But today, it seems that this is not the case at all? He also has physical desires, and they are so strong...
Xia Miao found it a little funny and distressed. She knew what He Shu was enduring.
All this is because of his respect for himself. He regards himself as the most precious person.
At this time, Xia Miao felt that there might be only one He Shu like this in the world, and she had met him, so she was really the luckiest person.
He didn't dare to stay in the new house any longer, but he didn't leave immediately either. He Shu sat on the sofa for a full ten minutes before he dared to stand up.
The two of them put on their coats in silence. Xia Miao always had a smile on her face, and He Shu's ears were as red as if they were painted.
I left the house and walked outside. Only when I felt the cool breeze did I feel a breath of fresh air.
He Shu put the hood on Xia Miao's cotton coat on her, then held her hand and walked towards the garage.
At this time, Xia Miao's cell phone rang again, it was still the same unfamiliar number.
Xia Miao answered the phone as she walked, wanting to know who this ignorant person was.
It turned out to be a former high school female classmate who had changed her number and returned to Danhe, and wanted to arrange a get-together.
I just got hung up on and thought I had called the wrong number.
Xia Miao and He Shu were not in the same class in high school, so there was no one familiar to He Shu at their class party.
After answering the phone, Xia Miao told He Shu about this.
"Where are we going to eat?"
"They said it was at the Yanxi Tower. We've already gone there. It's the one by the river. Do you want to join us?"
He Shu shook his head: "I don't know him either. I'll take you there."
"Okay, after you drop me off, are you going to the store?"
"Well, then when you finish your meal, call me and I'll pick you up. Don't take a taxi home alone."
Xia Miao agreed with a smile, feeling very happy: "Okay."
He Shu drove Xia Miao to the entrance of Yanxi Building by the river. There was a girl wearing a long black down jacket in the lobby.
When he saw Xia Miao get off the car, he came out to greet her.
Xia Miao kissed He Shu on the face: "I'm going in."
"Well, try not to drink." Although He Shu had never attended a class reunion, he knew that there was a high probability of drinking, and he was a little worried.
"I know. I don't drink. I'll just have a meal and leave."
Only after watching Xia Miao go in did He Shu drive away.
The girl at the door was called Wang Ya. She looked at the car going away, then looked at Xia Miao and asked with a smile, "Who is it? Your boyfriend?"
"Yes, hey, Wang Ya, you haven't changed at all."
Wang Ya looked at Xia Miao and reached out to touch her face: "You haven't changed much, you're still as beautiful as ever."
The two had been roommates in high school and had a good relationship. Although they hadn't seen each other since entering college, they didn't feel estranged from each other.
That's why Xia Miao agreed to get together so readily after receiving Wang Ya's call.
After entering the hall and walking upstairs, I saw two other classmates in a large private room upstairs.
There was a man and a woman, who were currently in a relationship. They greeted Xia Miao enthusiastically when they saw her.
"Let's drink some tea first. We'll serve the food once a few other classmates have arrived. After we finish eating, we'll go somewhere else to play for a while."
Here, Xia Miao was happily reuniting with her high school classmates, while over there, He Shu came to the car wash.
It was already past three in the afternoon, but the car dealership was still busy.
He Shu hurried in and asked Brother Xiao Dong for a set of work clothes to put on and help with the work.
Zhao Qishui was repairing a car inside and smiled with relief when he saw this.
Aunt Liu was busy until after six in the evening and was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back.
There were also people who came to wash their cars, but Zhao Qi refused to take any water. Only those who came to repair their cars left their cars there.
"Don't go home and cook it, just eat something nearby."
After saying that, Zhao Qishui took out a packet of medicine from his coat pocket. He gave it to He Shu when he left home.
I found a clean large bowl and poured boiling water into it to scald it, so that at least the medicine would not be so cold.
He Shu changed out of his work clothes and was rubbing the oil off his hands with gasoline, then washing them with soap.
After he finished washing, Zhao Qishui handed him the heated medicine bag and said, "Drink the medicine. We'll have dinner later."
He Shu also obeyed, biting a small sip and sipped it. He didn't know if it was because he was getting used to it, but it didn't seem as bitter as before.
After drinking the medicine, He Shu looked down at his hands. They were still not clean enough, so he had to wait until he got home in the evening to take a good bath.
I didn't do much car washing today, but I helped my godfather change some engine oil and parts.
This job is really dirty. The controlled oil sticks to your hands and cannot be wiped off.
No wonder Brother Dong’s hands are always black. He is too lazy to use gasoline to rub them carefully.
The store was cleaned up, the shutters were closed, and the group of people wrapped in thick cotton-padded jackets went to the restaurant next door.
Zhao Qishui ordered some home-cooked dishes. While waiting for the food, He Shu took out his cell phone and checked. Xia Miao hadn't called him yet. Hadn't she finished eating yet after going there so early?
He was a little worried, so he sent a message to Xia Miao.
Xia Miao and the others had indeed not finished eating yet. They hadn't seen each other for such a long time and had a lot to talk about.
Among those who came today, Xia Miao, who had scored the best, was the one. She was also very beautiful, so it was not an exaggeration to say that she was the class belle.
Now that we haven't graduated yet, everyone's topic is mainly about personal feelings and future development.
The couple who had been together from high school to college became the object of everyone's ridicule.
The two of them worked hard to get into a university, and planned to return to Danhe after graduation to take the civil service exam and get married.
Xia Miao was also very excited when she heard this. In fact, she didn't have a clear goal until now, and she had been following He Shu and moving forward.
The cell phone rang. Xia Miao guessed it was He Shu . She took it out and took a look. Sure enough, it was He Shu asking her when she would finish eating.
Xia Miao had just replied to He Shu's message when Wang Ya asked, "Xia Miao, are you and He Shu planning to stay in Dadu or come back?"
It is no secret that Xia Miao and He Shu are together. These classmates have known that Xia Miao likes He Shu.
Later, they both got admitted to Dadu. Since they lived so close to each other, it was not surprising that they got together.
"I haven't decided yet. I'll see what tree I have when the time comes."
"Hey... my He Shu." Everyone laughed at Xia Miao, but Xia Miao didn't care at all because it was originally hers.
The meal lasted for several hours and didn't end until almost 8 o'clock.
They didn't drink much, they just talked about the past. Wang Ya suggested going out to sing and then have a good drink.
However, Xia Miao didn't want to go with them, so she sent a message to He Shu, asking him to pick her up and take her home.
