The two of them walked along the tree-lined path and stepped on the pool on the ground. They walked side by side and occasionally stepped on one or two leaves that were blown down by the wind.
The leaves didn't have the heart to make a sound and break the freshness and romance in the air.
"The air here is really good," said Luo Li as she took a deep breath.
"Just talk about air?" Lin Zilan asked.
Luo Li smiled." Of course not. You, uh, tell me about your love life."
Lin Zilan said,"It's rare for you to care. Why don't we talk about you first?"
"I don't want to say it. Since the memories are buried, there must be a reason why they can't be dug out," said Luo Li.
Lin Zilan said,"Then can mine be excavated?"”
Luo Li said,"Of course not. If you don't want to say it, then forget it." Quietness was the sound of parting, silence was tonight's Manchester City.
Silence was often a sign of awkwardness, but it was better not to talk about it. Luo Li remembered that she had already taken the initiative once, so she continued to remain silent.
After a while, Lin Zilan said,"I've been in love twice. That's all I want to say."
Luo Li said,"What a coincidence. I've dated twice before. The first time was in junior high and we only dated for half a year. After that, we broke up because we were separated in different schools in senior high."“
Luo Li thought about me so much, it's your turn now.
"You don't accept long-distance relationships?" Lin Zilan asked.”
Luo Li said,"I can accept it. She was the one who initiated the breakup."
Lin Zilan said,"She doesn't love you at all."
Luo Li took another deep breath. There seemed to be some dew in the air, giving people a new feeling.
"Maybe. I was young then and didn't know what love was. The only memory I had was listening to songs together."
"So now you understand what love is?"”
Luo Li said,"With my own understanding, reality is scary. I'd rather not have it."
Lin Zilan asked,"This world is realistic. Fairy tales are for children."
"No, fairy tales are for adults. Happiness and happiness are the endings, right?" Luo Li denied.
Lin Zilan said,"That's why it's a fairytale. Life is not as good as it seems. You'll get used to it after seeing it a lot."
Luo Li said," Yes, I can't stand it. That's why I often choose to run away. Am I very cowardly?”
Lin Zilan said,"You're a little pessimistic."
Luo Li explained,"I'm not being pessimistic. I'm very calm when I'm running away."
The two of them walked past a large pond. Luo Li wanted to walk to the side, but she didn't notice that Lin Zilan stepped into the pond and splashed Luo Li.
Lin Zilan was doing it on purpose. It could be seen from the snicker on her face.
Luo Li ran up to grab Lin Zilan, but Lin Zilan smiled and ran forward.
Violet Orchid's bell-like laughter echoed on the road.
The two of them chased each other until they reached the cafe. They chose a seat by the window and ordered two cappuccinos.
In winter, people liked to hold their hands on the cup to keep warm. After winter, they couldn't change this habit. This kind of person often treated coffee as a lover and loneliness as dinner.
Luo Li held the coffee cup in her hand and was affected by the steam rising from it. He didn't like bitter coffee, so he put a few bags of sugar in it.
Inadvertently, Lin Zilan's hand held Luo Li's hand, and Luo Li's hand was holding the coffee cup.
Luo Li said,"Take your hand away."
"Do you hate me so much?" Lin Zilan asked.”
Luo Li was silent for a moment before she pulled Violet Orchid's hand away and said,""I'm afraid I'll have feelings for you."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Lin Zilan asked.
"There's nothing to wait for. I just hope that I can be content with having two or three friends," said Luo Li.
Lin Zilan said,"I don't understand you, but I really want to understand you."
Luo Li took a sip of coffee and looked out the window. The sky was already dark. Lonely people often liked the dark night, as if it was a festival that would come every day.
Luo Li said,"I'm willing to be friends with you, very good friends, nothing else."
Lin Zilan said,"We are good friends, but it's time to talk about marriage."" I don't believe in marriage." Lin Zilan was a little surprised."Aren't you going to get married?"
Luo Li said," At least not for now. Marriage is the grave of love. I just don't want to jump in and die with it."
Lin Zilan said,"Those who say that marriage is the grave of love just don't know how to manage love."
"Do you know how to manage love?" asked Luo Li. A love expert?" " No, actually I don't understand. Besides, it's a man's responsibility to manage love," Lin Zilan said.
"Don't women have any responsibilities?”Luo Li asked.
" Yes, women are responsible for being as beautiful as flowers," Lin Zilan said playfully.
Luo Li smiled and took a sip of the foam on the cappuccino. As Luo Li had a light taste, she ordered a wet cappuccino. The thick milk fragrance covered the rainy night with a layer of cotton jacket. No matter how much trouble she had in life, it was drowned out. Some people said that love was like a bitter cappuccino with sweetness. In Luo Li's opinion, if more milk covered up the bitterness, life would be happy.
However, life was often like a cup of dry cappuccino. The taste of coffee was stronger than the fragrance of milk, so the hint of milk sweetness became a joy in bitterness. It was like the drizzle outside the window. If it rained heavily 365 days a year, who would still have the romance of " the first sunny day after a light rain on the maple bridge, and a shy umbrella to send off a beautiful trip "?
At this moment, Lin Zilan's phone rang.
"Hello, oh, Gao Yi. Yes, I'm drinking coffee. No, no, I've already eaten. Thank you, I'm very busy now. Okay, bye."
Luo Li understood what he meant. As the saying goes, brothers are like brothers, and women are like clothes. Moreover, if he didn't need something, why not help him?
Luo Li thought of ways to promote Gao Yi, this tall, rich, and handsome man.
" I heard that Gao Yi's family owns a restaurant in the country. There are hundreds of restaurants in the country. He's tall and good-looking, and..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Lin Zilan slammed the table and stood up with her bag. She turned around and was about to leave. When Luo Li was not in the mood to study a girl, she was a mentally retarded person with zero EQ. She only felt that it was strange why the other party was suddenly angry.
Luo Li quickly stood up and pulled Lin Zilan back, asking,""What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Lin Zilan shook off Luo Li's hand and said," You can dislike me, but you don't have to kick me around like a ball!"”
Luo Li had a helpless expression on her face. Her lips trembled as she said,"You don't understand me. There's no need to waste time on me. Really."
" I can wait," Lin Zilan said before turning around and leaving.
Luo Li watched him disappear and returned to her seat. She stared at the two cups of cappuccino in a daze. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get the girl she liked, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of the girl she didn't like. Could it be that there were no coincidences in the world where lovebirds broke up? On second thought, she couldn't help the beauty of others, nor could she help the evil of others. She downed the cappuccino in one gulp, paid the bill, and left.
The drizzle was still continuous. Rainy days in China often had the melancholy of " three raindrops on the sad pillow, dripping rain ", but in a foreign land, they felt the joy of " soaking the apricot rain, blowing the cold willow wind ". After leaving a place, there were often all kinds of troubles that he could not get rid of. It was like changing his soul. He had to start all over again. Since he had to start all over again, of course, he could not find all kinds of sorrows. Therefore, it was better not to start love. In case he cut off the water with a knife, the water would flow even more, and he would be more sorrowful if he raised his glass to drown his sorrows. Moreover, he had not obtained a diploma and was not financially independent yet. How could he have the capital to seriously fall in love? Once he fell into the whirlpool of love, he would be lost. If she messed up the direction of her life, what if she lost all her love and money and had no future? The duck in her hand would still fly away. No matter how much she invested, she would still be raising someone else's wife. Therefore, Luo Li was determined not to touch her feelings.
As she walked along the road, she thought of the lyrics," I came to your city and walked the way you came." She touched her stomach and felt a surge of acid. Then she remembered that she had not eaten dinner yet and passed by a Tesco supermarket. She went in and bought two sausage rolls to satisfy her hunger. She saw Marlboros on the counter. Marlboros were one of the few imported cigarettes that dared to sell openly in the country. Luo Li bought a white box of Marlboros. The white box had a low level of cocoa. It was considered a woman's cigarette, but it was less harmful to the body. Luo Li thought as she walked. If smoking was harmless to the body, the number of people who smoked might have dropped drastically. Those who smoked and looked at the box of cigarettes that were harmful to health were often self-harming. When they encountered something unpleasant in life, punks would use a knife to carve their skin, but most people did not have the courage. Therefore, smoking a cigarette to hurt the lungs was a self-harming behavior that transferred anxiety.
As he walked, he took out his phone and looked at the date. Suddenly, he remembered that there were only two days left until he handed in his thesis. It was a 2,500-word thesis. He originally wanted to walk and admire the scenery, but now he lost all interest. His heart was like a vacuum bag that had been compressed. He simply took a taxi and rushed back to the dormitory.
