Nothing outside the heart

Lying in bed at night, looking at the night sky on the rooftop, Chen Zhihe couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

He had never thought that Lu Caiwei liked him.

Moreover, based on his previous understanding of Lu Caiwei, he did not think that Lu Caiwei would be someone who could take the initiative to like someone.

But the fact happened, and he had to accept it.

Someone likes him, or the famous iceberg beauty likes him, and the man's vanity is greatly satisfied.

However, for Chen Zhihe, the more important thing is that he still doesn't know how to get along with each other in the future.

He carefully recalled the details of his relationship with Lu Caiwei in the past three years, and after extrapolation, he did find some clues.

What may have seemed normal behavior at the time seems a little abnormal now.

Some coincidences may not really be coincidences.

As for Lu Caiwei liking him, Chen Zhihe didn't think she was doing it for him.

Although he did have some small achievements now, looking at Lu Caiwei's usual dress and behavior, Chen Zhihe knew that she was not the kind of person who was after money.

Moreover, according to Lu Caiwei, she started to like herself when she was a freshman, but at that time she was nothing.

But the more this happened, the less Chen Zhihe didn't know how to deal with it.

He even felt that it would be great if Lu Caiwei was really after money.

But she just simply liked it.

This kind of love without any desire, without even asking for being together, made Chen Zhihe feel a little ashamed of himself.

He didn't even know how to respond to Lu Caiwei's affection.

Again, he has a girlfriend.

Moreover, besides Lu Caiwei, there is also Lin Qingxuan.

For the first time, Chen Zhihe realized that being liked by others is sometimes a very uncomfortable thing.

I was really thinking wildly when the cell phone on the bedside rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was Ruan Mi calling.

During this time, the two formed a tacit understanding.

Knowing that Ruan Mi was busy there, Chen Zhihe usually would not take the initiative to call her. If Ruan Mi was free, she would call Chen Zhihe.

Every week, the two maintain a certain number of phone calls.

"What's wrong, you're still up so late?" Chen Zhihe asked.

"I'm so tired. I've been busy all day today and my voice is hoarse." Although Ruan Mi said she was tired, her excitement could be heard in her voice.

Chen Zhihe consoled him: "Just take a rest when you are tired. Don't push yourself too hard."

Ruan Mi said: "How is that possible? I have just joined the group now and I have to practice hard. Alas, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, no one who can advance is a weakling."

Chen Zhihe shook his head and said, "I regret it sometimes. If you were doing something else, you wouldn't be so tired. Besides, it would be great to still be in Jiangcheng."

Ruan Mi heard what Chen Zhihe said and said softly: "But if I don't do this, what can I do? You are walking so fast and so far, and I don't want to be left behind by you. If you keep persisting, I will wait until you graduate to the Magic City

We can be together."

This was the first time that Chen Zhihe heard Ruan Mi confide in him. He did not expect that it was because of him that she embarked on this path.

A trace of guilt arose in his heart, and Chen Zhihe said softly: "Actually, you don't have to fight like this, don't you still have me?"

Ruan Mi giggled: "It is precisely because of you that I have to work so hard. I also want to prove that I am worthy of you."

Chen Zhihe sighed softly, you are fine, you don't need to prove it.

Maybe, I'm not worthy of you.

In love, only those who are half-hearted are unworthy.

"You should go to bed early. Qingxuan has been with me during this period. I want to go to bed. Good night."

Chen Zhihe forced out a smile and said, "Have a good rest, good night."

After talking to Ruan Mi on the phone, Chen Zhihe couldn't sleep anymore.

He is not a person who is good at dealing with emotions. He was like this in his previous life and still is now.

Really unable to sleep, Chen Zhihe put on his clothes and prepared to go downstairs for a walk.

Go downstairs and into the courtyard.

What surprised Chen Zhihe was that Lu Caiwei was also there.

Sitting on the patio, looking up at the sky, with the moonlight pouring down on her body, Lu Caiwei looked like a goddess under the moon.

"Can't sleep?" Seeing Chen Zhihe, Lu Caiwei smiled and asked.

Chen Zhihe nodded and said, "I really can't sleep."

"Sit." Pointing to the chair next to her, Lu Caiwei nodded.

Chen Zhihe sat down and looked at the empty sky in the courtyard. He couldn't help but think of the ancient sentence: "The water in the courtyard is empty and clear. There are algae and waterlilies in the water, covered with bamboos and cypress shadows. What night is there without a moon?"

Where are there no bamboos or cypresses? But there are few idle people like the two of us."

After Lu Caiwei heard this, she smiled softly: "You and I are not idlers."

Chen Zhihe sighed and said, "I am indeed not an idler, but a guest."

Lu Caiwei asked: "Being bound by love?"

Chen Zhihe didn't answer, just looked at the moon above his head.

Lu Caiwei didn't pay attention, and said to herself: "Most people's troubles are actually caused by morality and desire. Good and bad are not thorough enough, and then they tear apart in the heart, so they have troubles."

Chen Zhihe asked: "Then do you think I am a good person or a bad person?"

Lu Caiwei shook her head, smiled, and said, "At least, he's not a bad person."

Chen Zhihe chewed on Lu Caiwei's comments, cupped his hands towards her and said, "Thank you very much."

Lu Caiwei also followed suit, cupping her hands towards Chen Zhihe and saying, "You're welcome."

Then both of them laughed.

Curbing his smile, Chen Zhihe asked: "How can we relieve our worries?"

Lu Caiwei said jokingly: "Only Du Kang?"

Chen Zhihe shook his head and said, "Wine is not good."

Seeing Chen Zhihe's refusal, Lu Caiwei didn't force it. She pointed to the bar next door and asked, "Then let's go and sit down?"

Chen Zhihe said: "I don't like it to be too noisy, so it's nice here."

Lu Caiwei smiled and said, "Then why can you still write songs for them?"

Chen Zhihe knew that she was talking about "Mohe Ballroom", so he shook his head and said with a smile: "That's just a coincidence."

Lu Caiwei nodded, not sure whether she believed it or not. She thought for a while and said, "I really didn't realize that you could write so many good songs. However, this one is my favorite."

Chen Zhihe asked: "Why?"

Lu Caiwei said: "Those songs you wrote are all very good, but only the love in this song achieves the unity of knowledge and action. There are too many people shouting slogans about love, but if it can be achieved in three to five years

If you say it lasts a lifetime, it’s not that unusual.”

Chen Zhihe looked at Lu Caiwei in surprise. Her thinking angle was quite tricky, which he had never thought of before.

After thinking for a while, Chen Zhihe asked: "The unity of knowledge and action... Do you like Yangming Xinxue?"

Lu Caiwei looked at Chen Zhihe and said with some joy: "I've seen some, you like it too?"

Chen Zhihe smiled and said, "It seems that we are of the same mind. What do you think?"

"Experience?" Lu Caiwei tilted her head, looked at Chen Zhihe, and said leisurely: "As for the experience, the biggest experience so far is probably - there is nothing outside the heart, but you are not outside the heart."

Seeing Chen Zhihe's speechless expression, Lu Caiwei covered her mouth and laughed.
