What is love?
1
Lu Zhou felt that this word was a very distant thing to him.
It wasn’t because of his lack of confidence in his own charm, but because he wasn’t sure that he could devote enough time to his feelings. Relationships made him feel uneasy. He always had a hunch that he would remain alone in this journey.
And he didn’t even know where this journey would end.
The only thing he knew was that this journey would take a long time.
However, at the award ceremony, the old man’s words touched him.
Life itself was a mysterious journey. Apart from birth and death, nothing else is guaranteed.
Too many worries would make one miss out on many beautiful things.
He didn’t want to miss out anymore.
On the sidewalk of Lake Mälaren, the two figures stood together for a long time. Finally, they separated by a tiny bit. Chen Yushan, who had always been a strong woman, showed a rare side of shyness. She looked away and whispered, “What… does it feel like?”
“It feels weird. It’s obviously just an exchange of saliva, but my heartbeat is faster… Maybe because it’s my first time, and I’m not skilled enough, after all… I’ve never done it before.”
Lu Zhou looked away slightly, and his face began to blush.
Strictly speaking, that was his first kiss.
Even though he had kissed someone on the forehead before, that was in a completely different environment, with completely different emotions.
“Can you… not make it sound so disgusting?”
“How is it disgusting… What about you?”
“Me?”
She finally mustered up the courage to look at Lu Zhou’s eyes, then immediately looked away.
“It hurts… Your teeth bit my lip.”
“Sor—”
“Don’t say sorry!”
Chen Yushan used all the courage in her body. She closed her eyes and looked up. Like a girl wishing for a Christmas gift, she spoke.
“Don’t always say sorry, if you don’t do it well… Just do it again. It’s the first time I’ve felt this way too, I’ll get better at it.”
Chen Yushan’s past flashed before her eyes.
Lu Zhou shook his head and moved forward.
“Once is not enough.”
…
The physics prize was awarded. The Nobel Prize award ceremony came to an end. The craze of the Chinese academic community had not stopped. Almost everyone who heard the news was talking about the young Nobel Prize in Physics winner.
Especially the teachers and students of Jin Ling University, no one was more excited than them.
The youngest Nobel Prize winner in history and winner in both physics and chemistry. This was the guy who used to sit in a classroom with them. Was there anything more worthy of bragging?
It was like the teachers who taught Lu Zhou won a lottery. They couldn’t stop talking in the lecture. They kept talking about how “back when Lu Zhou was in my class” or how he “won the mathematical modeling competition”.
This began ever since the announcement of the Nobel Prize in October, and the hype had not slowed down at all. It became even more intense because of the awards ceremony yesterday.
The entire Jin Ling University was celebrating. Lu Zhou, who was in Stockholm, also experienced the most important turning point in his life.
He guarded his body for twenty-nine years, but last night, he finally transformed from a boy into a real man.
His thirst for knowledge was finally satisfied… The two embraced each other in their arms and fell asleep past midnight.
The next morning.
The sun began to rise.
Lu Zhou woke up from his sleep. He stretched his hands and rubbed his eyes. He looked at the serene face lying on the other pillow, and he couldn’t help but reach out his hand and gently push the messy hair on her face away.
Her eyelashes moved slightly, and she reluctantly opened her eyes.
Chen Yushan suddenly had a silly smile on her face.
“Ha… This feels like a dream.”
Lu Zhou couldn’t help but smile.
“What feels like a dream?”
Chen Yushan blushed and rolled her eyes.
Lu Zhou’s original calm mind couldn’t help but feel ripples.
After all, he was a young man. He regularly exercised, and his body was enhanced by the system. He had much more stamina than most people.
However, after realizing that she was still tired, he quietly retracted his hand.
Chen Yushan noticed his movement and smirked.
She felt warm inside.
She stretched and stayed under the blanket for a while. She then sat up on the bed and stroked her messy hair.
“No kissing me for three days.”
“What if I want to?”
“Then…” Chen Yushan looked away and muttered, “Then I’ll pretend to not see anything.”
“Pff!”
“Stop laughing!”
Chen Yushan angrily grabbed the pillow and smacked Lu Zhou in the chest. She then stood up from the bed. However, the moment her feet touched the ground, she winced in pain.
Lu Zhou looked at her and spoke.
“I’ll call room service.”
“It’s fine.”
Chen Yushan leaned over and kissed Lu Zhou’s forehead. She had a warm smile on her face as she said, “l’ll go wash up, let’s grab food downstairs. Remember, don’t be too… Let’s start by holding hands. Then, slowly, tell your parents…”
Chen Yushan began to blush, while Lu Zhou had a careless smile on his face.
We already slept together, is this really necessary?
He wanted to be a gentleman last night. After getting on the elevator, he was about to take her back to her own room. But somehow, they started to drink in his room instead.
One drink after another.
The atmosphere turned into the color of red wine.
When she was laying on his chest, Lu Zhou suddenly realized many things he hadn’t realized before.
If only I detected certain things earlier.
But then again…
If it weren’t for this particular time and place, perhaps we wouldn’t have the same choices, and the story between us would have ended differently…
Lu Zhou watched Chen Yushan put on a towel and walk to the bathroom. Lu Zhou made a joke that was out of his usual character.
“Can I come with you?”
Although she didn’t turn around, he clearly saw her ears turning red.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Lu Zhou couldn’t help but smirk.
He didn’t know how to describe this feeling.
He just felt warm inside.
Maybe…
This is what love feels like.
