"What is it?"
"Little Yu, have I really changed a lot?”
Chen Yu nodded vigorously without hesitation." You only realized it now? The first time I saw you, I knew that you had changed a lot. You became silent, didn't like to talk, and became depressed. Xin Lan, I know that those things have dealt you a huge blow and hurt, but we still have to live. No matter how hard it is to accept, we still have to face it. Xin Lan, actually, I wanted to say these words a long time ago, but I know that you haven't let go. I know that whenever I mention you, I'll think of all the things in the past, and then I'll be very sad, very sad, so I've always tried my best to avoid these things. However, Xin Lan, we can't live in the past forever. I hope that you can slowly walk out of it and accept the unchangeable reality that has already happened.”
Indeed, she could not let go. That was a pain that she would never forget for the rest of her life. How could she forget it so easily? At this moment, she had already mustered up her courage to face it bravely. However, the uncontrollable pain in her heart still turned into tears that flowed out of her eyes." Xiao Yu, don't I wish to let go of all of this and live a good life? However, I just couldn't forget it. I couldn't be happy as if nothing had happened, nor could I accept the concern of others, even if they were just ordinary friends. Xiao Yu, I'm so tired. I'm really tired."”As she spoke, she laid on the table and cried loudly.
Chen Yu immediately sat beside her and hugged her, letting her lean into his embrace. He gently patted her shoulders that were constantly twitching from crying, as if he was comforting an injured child.
Through the glass window of the cafe, Chi Shengrui stood outside and watched what was happening inside. His expression was a little complicated, and his heart was also in a mess. Even he himself could not figure out what kind of emotion it was. It was as if seeing her sad and crying would make him inexplicably nervous and flustered. For some reason, he would have a complicated feeling that seemed to be sad but also not sad. In short, those emotions came out of nowhere.
Could it be that love started inexplicably?
In the bustling food street, Lin Xinlan stood in front of a stall that bought teppanyaki fried rice, waiting for the boss to pack the fried rice for her to take back to school. She rarely settled her dinner in such a noisy food street because it was too noisy and she didn't like it. However, she could not resist the temptation of delicious food. She was a regular customer of this food stall. The boss was a very nice middle-aged uncle. He had a gentle smile and knew Lin Xinlan, who often patronized his business.
"Little girl, it's done." The boss handed her the packed fried rice.
"Thank you, Uncle." Lin Xinlan paid the money and did not forget to thank him.
She turned around with her lunch box and bumped into a firm chest."I'm sorry…" Before she could finish her sentence, she looked up and saw Chi Shengrui staring at her from above with an unpleasant expression. She was stunned and then took a small step back. In the crowded crowd, she had nowhere to retreat. She turned her head and saw the uncle selling iron plate fried rice smiling at her with an expression of understanding. Lin Xinlan smiled helplessly and nodded at him. Then she felt her wrist tighten and was dragged away by Chi Shengrui.
He was much taller than her. Lin Xinlan was suddenly pulled into the crowded crowd by him and forgot to resist. She forgot to ask him why he suddenly appeared. She just stared at his tall back in a daze, allowing him to forcefully pull her through the crowd.
" Silent Cheng…" She called out softly, but in the noisy crowd, only she could hear the name she had just called out. That's right, his back view. He did not say anything as he forcefully pulled her hand and moved forward with difficulty in the crowded crowd. It was very similar to the time when he was angry and dragged her from a crowded place to a less crowded street.
At that time, Lin Xinlan still liked to join in the fun. Every time they went out on a date, she would always drag Mo Jingcheng to a crowded place. At that time, as long as she saw a performance or street activity that she was interested in, she would automatically ignore his words. She could always make Mo Jingcheng angry, and then he had to take extreme measures to pull her out of those " troublesome places ". At that time, although she knew that he was angry, and very angry, she was held by him tightly in the middle of so many people. It was as if even if she closed her eyes and did not look at the road, as long as he did not let go, she would not get lost, fall, or get hurt. Being pulled by a person who liked him very much, even if he could never walk out of the crowd or the crowd, he would still feel very happy. At that time, Lin Xinlan would always fantasize about how great it would be if she could be pulled by him forever and walk down this path forever.
From the crowded food street to the street with fewer people, Chi Shengrui had been holding her tightly. His expression was a little ugly, and he didn't say a word to her along the way. What made him feel strange was that she unexpectedly didn't resist, didn't roar, or coldly asked him to let go. She actually obediently followed him to this street with fewer people.
When they arrived at their destination, he let go of her hand and looked down at the white plastic bag with lunch in her hand. He asked,"You eat this?"
Lin Xinlan came back to her senses when she saw his face. She looked at the bag in her hand and remembered that he had dragged her out of the crowd in anger. She replied indifferently,""Yes."
"Aren't you afraid of being dirty?"
"I'm used to it." She didn't look at him. Instead, she looked away from him and saw a couple laughing at the corner of the street. A hint of relief flashed in her eyes, but it quickly dimmed.
Chi Shengrui noticed her absent-mindedness and followed her gaze. There was a couple at the corner of the street. The boy gently rubbed the girl's head with one hand. The girl looked at him and smiled. She didn't need to be very close to know that the boy's eyes were filled with a doting smile.
Chi Shengrui, who was used to this kind of "street show of love" plot, turned his head and saw that Lin Xinlan was still staring blankly at the couple. The anger in Chi Shengrui's heart inexplicably burst out again. He was, after all, a sunny and handsome man who was loved by everyone in the University of Science and Technology. Why was he not as good as those vulgar scenes that could be seen everywhere on the street in her eyes?
He stared at her for two seconds. Seeing that she didn't react, he simply moved closer to her. His tall figure completely blocked her line of sight. Finally, he was the only one left in front of her.
She looked up and saw his dark face and eyes that wanted to tear her into pieces. She couldn't help but take a step back. Being very close to him always made her feel inexplicably oppressed. She finally asked the question that she should have asked a long time ago calmly," Chi Shengrui, you dragged me here. Is there something you want to say to me?"”
" I..." Chi Shengrui looked at the girl in front of him who was somewhat stubborn, somewhat hard, somewhat strong, and somewhat indifferent. He was speechless for a moment. To be honest, he himself did not understand why he had dragged her here the moment he saw her. He was not prepared at all, nor did he anticipate anything. He had followed her over as soon as he got off work. What did he want to tell her? He had never thought about why he wanted to follow her. He just thought about it in his heart and did so.
Perhaps he wanted to comfort her, but the image of her hugging the snowman in the snow and crying her heart out in the coffee shop suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Lin Xinlan, I'm giving you another chance. Do you really not want me as a friend?”He had wanted to ask her nicely and comfort her, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, his damn pride came out to cause trouble again. Since he had already said it, there was no way he could go back. He could only secretly regret his arrogance.
Lin Xinlan was already used to his arrogance, so she was not surprised. She said in a bad mood,"Chi Chengrui, you're so confident and so eloquent. You must have a lot of friends, right?”
"Because you are the first person to refuse to be my friend. Lin Xinlan, I'm very curious. I'm not forcing you to be my girlfriend. We're just normal friends. Why did you reject me? Do you have a phobia of making friends?"
"There's no reason. I just don't want to.”Her tone and gaze were still indifferent. His eyes were like a calm lake, and nothing around him could make a ripple in them.
"Is that so? There was no reason. How could there be no reason? Lin Xinlan, do you know that in the eyes of a wise and intelligent person like me, Chi Chengrui, your acting skills are already being polite to you by using the word "bad" to describe it. How long are you going to continue acting in front of me?”
Lin Xinlan raised her head in surprise and suddenly realized that she could not understand the person in front of her. The look in his eyes, whether it was provocation, pity, or sympathy, made her feel a little uncomfortable. Why did she feel that this scene was so familiar? It was as if she had seen through the disguise of silence and wanted him to admit it himself, but was her gaze as aggressive as Chi Shengrui's now?
"Chi Chengrui, don't think that you know me very well. You don't know anything, so you don't have the right to judge me.”Her cold tone brought out clear syllables one by one, very much like the silent Cheng that she had seen through. Could it be that when he said these words to her back then, he also had such an indescribable feeling like her? At the thought of this, her heart felt as if it had been cut by a sharp knife, even though she was already used to the pain. However, this time, she could still clearly hear the sound of flesh breaking and blood flowing in her heart, followed by endless pain.
"Lin Xinlan, what do I have to do for you to trust me?”When he heard her suddenly cold tone and saw her face turn strangely pale due to the pain, he could not help but put down his damn so-called self-esteem and ask in a rather helpless tone.
