"Let's have dinner together tonight. ”

This is the first message that Li Ling sent to Jiang Zhiqing after the start of the junior year, and it has been 9 days since the last meeting and exchange.

During the two months of the summer vacation, they all relied on WeChat chat and video contact, and the night before the start of school, Li Lingcai dragged her luggage to the school by car, and Jiang Zhiqing went to pick her up at the school gate. Li Ling cut his waist-length straight hair into shoulder-length curls, looking a little mature. On the way back to the dormitory after eating, Li Ling suddenly said to Jiang Zhiqing that he should not contact him for the time being, and he needed to rethink the relationship between the two people. Jiang Zhiqing didn't say much, it seemed to have been expected.

The location was chosen at a famous noodle shop in the play street opposite the main entrance of the school. Li Ling, who used to love broken thoughts in front of Jiang Zhiqing, became silent, and the two of them ate quietly face to face, if it weren't for Jiang Zhiqing picking out the chicken in the crockpot soup, separating the bones and sandwiching the meat into Li Ling's bowl, they would look like strangers sharing the table.

After eating, Li Ling said that he wanted to visit the campus, Jiang Zhiqing nodded, habitually carrying Li Ling's one-shoulder canvas bag, standing on her right side, his face was solemn, and his eyes were like wounds burned by the scorching sun.

Walking through the noisy streets, past the basketball court where the boys screamed, past the jingling cafeteria, the two were silent.

Li Ling finally spoke: "Zhiqing ......"

The words were still blocked in my mouth, and I didn't know how to say it.

Jiang Zhiqing sneered and said, "What's the matter?

Li Ling was a little surprised, since he knew Jiang Zhiqing, he had never spoken to her in such a tone.

She stopped, turned to the right, and looked up at Jiang Zhiqing with her glowing eyes.

Under the yellow street lamp, Jiang Zhiqing stared at the sweet face he had kissed countless times, gradually becoming alienated and blurred.

"I'm sorry, I guess we'd better separate. Li Ling took a deep breath, and as soon as she finished speaking, she felt as if her heart was falling from the stratosphere, shattered, and she would never be able to piece it together in the future.

Jiang Zhiqing lowered his eyes, and after a pause, he asked in a tone that did not fluctuate, "Why?"

After a long pause, Li Ling said slowly: "We want to take a different path. ”

This kind of answer made Jiang Zhiqing unconvinced, he thought of Li Ling's attitude towards him in the past two months, and had another answer in his heart, but he didn't say it, just asked, "Have you thought clearly?"

"Hmmm......"

"Good. ”

Li Ling's heart sank.

"That'...... You're going to get me here......"

Jiang Zhiqing didn't speak, looking at Li Ling's eyes like a dead pool.

"You have to eat well, rest well, and take care of yourself in the future. Li Ling smiled deliberately, trying to make this ending write in a beautiful trend.

Jiang Zhiqing took Li Ling's bag, put it in her hand, and said in a deep voice, "You too." Then he left without looking back.

Li Ling looked at Jiang Zhiqing's tall and thin back, and remembered that night a few years ago, he was anxious to run towards her, ignoring his messy hair, torn coat, crooked schoolbag, and loose shoelaces.

And at this moment, his back shrank smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared at the end of the lover's road.

The first time, he brought her.

He took her soft hand and said with a light smile: "New school, the first place I want to take you to, guess what it's called?"

She took a closer look at the scenery in front of her, the vines clinging to the intertwined arched corridor, and although it was full of life, there was nothing special about it.

Jiang Zhiqing suddenly hugged Li Ling into his arms, Li Ling's face was close to his chest, his right ear heard a thumping heartbeat, and his left ear heard his clear voice: "This is the lover's road." ”

I heard that couples who walk the lover's road together will last a long time, but they ended up here.

Li Ling took out his mobile phone from his bag and sent a WeChat message to his two roommates.

"Broken love, come out to drink with me?"

Zeng Shu and Yu Jiejie didn't say a word, and immediately rushed to the Ximen Liangji food stall agreed by Li Ling.

A dozen boys and girls raised glasses on a rectangular table made of patchwork to celebrate the beginning of the new semester, and at the adjacent table were several boys sitting around playing cards and bragging, while Li Ling stood quietly next to an empty table, her thin figure made her thin figure even thinner by the cold moonlight.

Li Ling ordered three different bottles of beer and a few side dishes.

In fact, the three of them haven't tried to drink together, this is Li Ling's first official drinking, and she has only tasted a little bit when she has gathered with relatives and friends before.

"Ling'er, the two of us can't drink much, maybe we can only drink a cup and a half ......" Yu Jiejie said while pouring out tea and washing dishes and chopsticks.

"I'll drink, you drink less, just eat. ”

Li Ling wanted to try whether a drunk could relieve a thousand sorrows.

After watching Li Ling drink two glasses of wine without saying a word, Zeng Shu couldn't help but worry and asked cautiously, "You take it easy." Is that the breakup you mentioned?"

"Hmm. ”

"If you're sad, cry out, don't hold back. You're going to have a hard time coming from time to time, and you'll think of him from time to time, but whatever happens, you can share it with us. Zeng Shu is the most experienced in love among the three, and is now single, but he is also a person who has been out of love three times, and he understands the feelings.

Li Ling smiled: "I know, but I can't cry at all." ”

After a while, Li Ling asked, "Shu, how long did it take you to break up before?"

"It's been a long time...... It seems to take more than a month. ”

Li Ling and Yu Jiejie were both a little surprised: "Is a month a long time?"

"A month is more sad, always thinking of the other person's stage, and it may take three months to really let go. ”

Can a month dilute the longing for Jiang Zhiqing?

Can you let go of Jiang Zhiqing in three months?

May I?

Li Ling didn't know, at this moment, she only knew that her stomach was so swollen after drinking more than two bottles of wine, and she didn't have a trace of drunkenness, but the more she drank, the more sober she became.

What kind of thing is wine? It is so bad that people can't forget anything, can't relieve a trace of sorrow, and can't really understand the mood of people who like to drink and get drunk. Li Ling thought that she probably wouldn't fall in love with drinking in this life.

After washing, Li Ling lay on the bed, whether she was looking at the branches and leaves swaying in the wind outside the window or trying to think about anything with her eyes closed, she couldn't sleep, she turned on her mobile phone and put on headphones, searching for the movie "33 Days of Broken Love". She had seen it earlier and wanted to watch it again.

"Can you forgive me, can you wait for me any longer. Wait for me, the road ahead is too treacherous, there are so many people in the world, only you are the partner who gives me the most security. Please don't just give up on me, please don't give up on me. ”

The scene in the movie is Huang Xiaoxian crying desperately chasing after the car Lu Ran was sitting in, and in the headphones is Huang Xiaoxian's inner monologue.

"I don't want that self-esteem to be shattered at the first blow, my self-confidence is all groundless, I want you to see how humble I am now. ”

Before you know it, your vision gradually becomes blurred, and the pillow is slowly penetrated by the salty smell of water.

After all, the levee has burst.

At dawn, Li Lingcai fell asleep in a trance, but had another nightmare, no, not a nightmare, it was reality.

In the dream, Jiang Zhi left her with a cold face, and Li Ling woke up, the corners of his eyes moist.

"There are still many dreams in the night, don't think of me......" The music player is still looping singles.

For the first time in 20 years, she experienced the taste of broken liver and intestines.
