Chapter 817 Deja Vu
Completely unfamiliar, yet irresistible.
This feeling made Joel at a loss what to do. Involuntarily, his breathing became rapid, and he instinctively wanted to dodge and retract into his snail shell again.
However, I still couldn’t control it after all.
My gaze could not help but drift towards Clementine again, carefully tracing the outline of her face, her eyebrows, her eyes, the bridge of her nose, her freckles, her smile, not wanting to miss it. Every detail.
Before conscious awareness, a light arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, like the first ray of spring light that broke through the long cold winter, clear and bright.
H.
The entire apartment held its breath completely, eyes wide open, fearing to miss any detail, the brain was roaring, and they couldn't help but fall slowly together -
Those shyness and restraints, those uneasiness and resistance, Those strangers and wanderers are so lifelike, but they still can't resist the instinctive attraction. The chasing eyes between the embarrassment and uneasiness make the heart beat.
Turns out, this is the moment to fall in love.
Not only Joel, but others also fell together. There was a slight restlessness and heat in the air, and his heart trembled uncontrollably.
The same goes for Clementine.
Although Joel didn't speak, he was still clumsy, unfamiliar, and slow. One look at each other seemed to have consumed all the courage in his body.
But that's enough.
For Clementine, a look of affirmation was enough to give her courage, and it was enough to make her fly into the flames.
Move, move again.
Clementine shortened the little space between the two people little by little, then pulled up Joel's left arm, completely ignoring the fact that the left half of Joel's body was completely stiff and numb, and dived in at once In Joel's chest, he adjusted slightly and found the most comfortable and safe position in his arms.
Moreover, Clementine is extremely serious -
Adjust left and right, as if Joel is a pillow cushion.
Thinking about it this way, it seems... right.
Because Joel's stiffness spread from the left side of his body to every corner of his body, including his eyes. His whole body remained stiff in one position, not daring to move. He was completely at the mercy of Clementine, even if it wasn't a pillow.
Until Clementine finally felt comfortable, she lay down quietly holding Joel's left arm, curled up in Joel's arms like a cat.
For a brief moment, both Joel and Clementine were stunned——
What’s going on with that feeling of familiarity?
Obviously the two of them were strangers meeting each other for the first time, but at this moment they could feel an atmosphere of intimacy and familiarity in each other's arms and body temperature.
Everything seems familiar.
Joel's eyes showed some confusion, his expression changed slightly, but his first expression after breaking the stiffness was a careful exploration.
The same goes for Clementine. She relied entirely on Joel, adjusted her position, and felt Joel's breath with every cell in her body.
It was only a brief moment, but it passed by in an instant. Neither of them noticed anything unusual, but naturally blended into this sense of familiarity. It was not like they hit it off on the first date, but more like they should have been there all along. The kind that belong to each other——
Integrated into body memory.
Clementine skillfully grabbed Joel's left hand, and her fingertips followed the lines of Joel's palm, got close, and overlapped, and finally the fingers intertwined and clasped together.
Not even a second of hesitation.
Clementine liked this sense of familiarity.
"Joel, you should accompany me to the Charles River another day. The river is completely frozen this season."
Joel:...
Obviously, unlike Clementine, Joel is still slightly confused——
Why?
Where does this feeling of déjà vu come from?
Why does my head hurt?
Joel raised his right hand and rubbed his temple, but he was not completely distracted and his reaction was a little slower. However, he still heard Clementine's words, responded with a smile, and glanced at Clementine tenderly. Ting glanced.
"That sounds scary." Clementine seemed to notice the warmth in her eyes and raised her head to look at Joel, "Yes."
After confirming her eyes, Clementine Ting's whole heart suddenly bloomed.
She adjusted her posture again, placing her ear against Joel's chest -
Plop. Plop. Plop.
The sound of the beating heart came through the chest, like a lullaby, soothing.
Clementine didn’t think much about it, she simply liked this sense of stability. A smile secretly bloomed at the corner of her mouth. She began to study Joel’s broad palms and slender fingers, playing with them like toys. stand up.
"I will prepare snacks."
"The feeling of a picnic at night is different, we can..."
However, Clementine failed to finish her sentence. Interrupted by Joel.
"That sounds great."
Whispering, whispering.
Joel was completely unaware that he had quietly fallen. The familiar smell of shampoo and skin temperature dragged him deeper into it little by little. Before he could react, his cheek was already pressed against Gram's. Clementine's head was carefully used to feel the familiar scent with the tip of her nose——
The sense of smell is often rooted in the deepest and deepest corners of memory, but it will not disappear.
Even the most distant and deepest memories that have long been forgotten, such as the cool breath of playing barefoot in the stream in childhood, can awaken in one second the beautiful memories that have been missing for many years.
It’s vivid in my mind.
The same is true in front of me.
Joel did not awaken the memory, but his body's instinctive reaction gradually softened his mind. He pressed tightly against Clementine and felt it with his body.
Addiction, fall——
The whole apartment, the whole world, slowly fell with Joel.
Other thoughts had completely disappeared at this moment. I just stared at the scene in front of me quietly and deeply, clearly feeling the overflowing intensity and hotness, and couldn't help but immerse myself in it.
That is not just love, but also a bond, a bond deeply imprinted in the bone marrow and soul. A single touch can awaken the entanglement of past and present lives.
Contradictory and complex, turbulent and passionate.
But it is natural.
Everyone held their breath, their bodies stiffly fixed in place, not daring to move, for fear that any slightest movement might destroy the tranquility and beauty in front of them, and they had already been involved in this calm before they realized it. in the storm.
Clementine's contentment, Joel's trance.
The two completely different states form a kind of echo.
Then the heart stopped beating.
No one is an exception, no one.
Attention can’t help but fall on Joel——
Slightly dull, a little stiff, a little shy, he looks like a boring nerd at first glance. Even everything tonight is dominated by Clementine. Clementine's light completely covers Joel, It's even confusing how much Clementine likes Joel.
Perhaps, the answer can be found in this scene.
Clementine's tension and joy slowly relaxed through combing, as if she had entered a safe haven. Maybe this was what she had been looking for.
And what about Joel?
Joel's expression seemed to be falling, losing control little by little, and the surging passion was about to explode in his chest.
