"Okay, I just told my mom that I'll go home with you for dinner tonight, and I'll stay with you at night!"

Xiao Ting smiled so brightly that her face was full of bright spring light, and Xiao Nan couldn't help but be stunned. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Xiao Ting smile happily like this for at least half a year, although this kind of smile was not all happy, and there were some triumphant elements in it after the trick was successful, but no matter what, Xiao Ting smiled brightly after all. In Xiao Nan's eyes, it seemed that the whole world had turned into a cheerful hue along with Xiao Ting's laughter.

But immediately Xiao Nan felt the meaning behind this smile: Xiao Ting wants to go home with me, back to my home!!

"Why do you want to go home with me?" Xiao Nan felt that his brain was not enough.

"Oops~ Don't be a big hero, don't be weird! You were injured for me, and the little woman has to be responsible for you to the end~" Xiao Ting replied with a smile: "Look at your knees and hands are broken, I have to send you to the hospital to bandage it, otherwise it will be inflamed, if you fall into a scar, it will not look good in a short skirt in summer; and your knee is injured, if you want to go upstairs, someone must help you, or you will be pitiful to jump up on one leg alone; you look at your hands again, how do you cook like this, why don't I cook for you......"

"You help me cook?" Xiao Nan thought to herself, others don't know your level of cooking, don't I know, we are deeply affected! "But...... Well, even if that's the case, then why do you want to stay at my house at night? My house is so small, and neither of you can turn around when you go in......

"I heard it...... Xiao Ting lowered her head and made a pitiful look: "You don't welcome me, woo...... I'm hated ......"

Although she knew that Xiao Ting was joking, her pretended expression was still pitiful, which made Xiao Nan feel a wave in her heart, and she was really unwilling to refuse forcefully to make Xiao Ting feel too disappointed, so she quickly explained: "No, no, no! I'm not unwelcome to you, I'm just ......."

Xiao Ting's face turned cloudy and sunny in an instant, and she hurriedly grabbed the conversation: "It's not that you don't welcome me, that is, you welcome me! Ha, great, let's go now!"

Xiao Nan felt dizzy and speechless for a while, and she couldn't bear to spoil her interest when she saw Xiao Ting's elated appearance, so she had to acquiesce in her heart, and obediently drove Z4 in front of her to lead the way, leading Xiao Ting to the urban village where she lived.

…………

……

Standing downstairs in the unit building he rented, Xiao Nan suddenly found that his heart did not have as many struggles and entanglements as he imagined, and turned his head to look at Xiao Ting, who was supporting him by his side, next to her soft body, smelling the fragrance on her body, Xiao Nan felt an unusually calm and serene at the moment.

Since Xiao Nan dialed Xiao Ting's phone at night, she has struggled in her heart for so long, and she has struggled enough, after experiencing the scene of Baoquan Mountain looking for Xiao Ting, she has gradually recognized what she really thinks in her heart: If God is destined that she and Xiao Ting cannot walk together in this life, then she must at least let Xiao Ting know that Cheng Xiaonan is not dead, but she has dramatically changed to a completely different face and continues to live in the world. She wants to give Xiao Ting the choice, no matter whether Xiao Ting decides that the two will never be strangers or be good friends or whatever, Xiao Nan will respect Xiao Ting's decision unconditionally.

And, didn't Huzi say that the connection between her and Xiao Ting, because that mysterious ritual has transcended any feelings and cannot be severed, what else does she have to worry about? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if she and Xiao Ting are strangers, even if the two of them are separate, Xiao Nan's body is still supporting Xiao Ting's physical health through the "contract" generated by that mysterious ritual, until Xiao Nan reaches the end of her life.

'So, it's time to face Xiaoting and let her know the truth, because our connection cannot be severed, and I will never lose her, so I'm not afraid to ......'

Xiao Nan took a deep breath, raised his feet and walked into the corridor.

"Oops...... Isn't your house a unit here?" Xiao Ting tugged Xiao Nan's arm, she was originally standing on Xiao Nan's right side to help Xiao Nan walk, and when she saw Xiao Nan stuffy head into the corridor, she grabbed her, and pointed to the unit next to her with her hand: "Na, I remember that you don't live in that unit? How to go this way, you won't even be able to figure out where your family lives, right?"

Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, and thought for a second or two before she reacted to what was going on, it turned out that Xiao Ting was talking about the first time they met downstairs, that time Xiao Nan pretended not to know Xiao Ting, and when she picked up the clothes on the ground, the two of them hit their heads together, Xiao Nan pretended to enter the unit next to her in order not to arouse Xiao Ting's suspicion. Unexpectedly, Xiaoting still remembered this incident, it seems that she has already seen the suspicion of her identity, but she has not taken the initiative to point it out along the way.

"Actually...... I won't explain much, anyway, my family doesn't live over there, but here, this building, come with me. Xiao Nan reached out and took Xiao Ting's hand in turn, and pulled her limping into the corridor.

Xiao Nan rented a single room Xiao Ting is very familiar, in the past when the two were in love, Xiao Ting came here to play with Xiao Nan as soon as she was free, on the weekend when she was not busy, the two of them bought a lot of delicious cats in Xiao Nan's small single room to watch DVDs and listen to music and chat, and when they were bored, they went to the river embankment behind the village to walk hand in hand, and when they were hungry, they made a hearty meal - of course, the premise is that Xiao Nan is in charge, because even Xiao Ting doesn't like to eat her own meals, so Xiao Nan always says that Xiao Ting has no talent for cooking.

Sometimes the two of them would turn off all the lights in the room, leaving only a red candle with tears, and drink red wine by the candlelight—Xiao Nan's family's own grapes all came from the grape trellis in the yard of her hometown. In this small single room, there have been many sweet and romantic memories of the two people, laughter, happiness, warmth, and youthful impulsiveness - just because of Xiao Ting's reserve and Xiao Nan's love, the two have not taken the most intimate step between lovers until the day of the car accident came......

When Xiao Ting helped Xiao Nan up the stairs along the familiar corridor, Xiao Nan unconsciously grabbed her arm from Xiao Ting's hand, and she could feel the panic and shock in her heart. Because the answer given by Xiao Nan directly with his actions far exceeded the conclusion that Xiao Ting deduced by herself through clues, every time the two of them approached room 402 where Xiao Nan lived, Xiao Ting's heartbeat accelerated by one point.

Seeing the familiar door of room 402 closed in front of her, Xiao Ting widened her beautiful almond eyes and stared at Xiao Nan in disbelief as she took out a bunch of keys from her pocket and inserted them into the lock hole.

"You...... You live here?" Xiao Ting's voice trembled a little.

"yes, that's where I live. Xiao Nan calmly took back the key and pushed open the door: "Please come in!"

At this moment, Xiaoting felt that her brain was completely messed up: How could this be! Isn't this Cheng Xiaonan's home, why does she live here! No wonder she has my phone number, no wonder she hears the shout of "Cheng Xiaonan" when talking to her, no wonder she knows all my itinerary today, it turns out ...... She actually lived with Cheng Xiaonan, a man and a woman......

Xiao Nan entered the door and saw Xiao Ting's eyes wide, looking like she had seen a ghost, smiled slightly, reached out and grabbed Xiao Ting's wrist, and gently pulled her closer to the room. "Come in, what are you doing standing outside stupidly? Is there a monster in this house, can it eat you?"

Xiaoting hasn't walked into this room for half a year, and today she is "revisiting", everything in the room is still so familiar, but she feels that something has become wrong.

"My clothes, my clothes!!" Xiao Nan suddenly screamed and scared Xiao Ting, only to see Xiao Nan throw the helmet and gloves in his hand on the table in the living room, Dong Dong Dong jumped on one leg and ran to the direction of the balcony, Xiao Ting curiously followed to the balcony, only to see Xiao Nan grabbing her scalp with both hands and looking crazy, following her gaze to look up at the top of the balcony, it turned out to be hanging on the clothesline, Xiao Nan only washed the clothes yesterday, several of them were drenched by the rain that swept in from the window, not only did not dry, but it was wetter than when she took out the dryer yesterday, and the long white sweater with large patterns was still dripping。

Xiao Ting squinted her eyes and carefully observed the clothes that Xiao Nan hung on the clothesline, there were not a few of these clothes together, long and short, shirts, jackets and pants, and a few very plain underwear hanging on a circular drying rack, the styles of underwear were all the kind of sports underwear worn by female athletes, and the most special thing was that all the underwear was actually the kind of "safety pants" with flat corners From this, it seems that the owner of these underwear must be a girl who likes sports very much, and has a unique taste, and does not like any texture and lace at all, and the color of the underwear selected is some gray, light blue and other neutral colors.

Although she had a strange taste in dressing, it was clear that the clothes were all worn by girls, and there was not a single men's dress - except for the interesting school uniform she was wearing. It looks like she's living alone, so ...... Where is Xiao Nan?"

Xiao Nan didn't pay attention to what Xiao Ting was thinking at this time, after she confirmed whether the cold clothes were rained one by one, she used a bamboo pole to pick off a few clothes and pants that were drenched and threw them into the basin, turned around with the basin and went to the bathroom, planning to throw these clothes into the washing machine and rinse them with clean water, and then dry them again before drying them out.

While Xiao Nan was tinkering with the washing machine, Xiao Ting quietly walked to the living room outside, and gently pushed open the door of the closet.

"No wonder, I have always felt strange when I see her wearing a men's high school uniform, it turns out that she has only a few clothes in total, all of them have been washed off and there is no replacement, this is so strange, even if the family background is not good, how can a girl say that there will be more than ten clothes, right?" Xiaoting closed the closet door and turned around and walked to the bedroom door, leaning out and looking around.

The small bedroom is the largest part of this single room, about fifteen or sixteen square meters in size, compared with the last time I came here half a year ago, the layout and furnishings have not changed at all, the bedside table, the single wooden bed, the bookshelf full of magazines, and the computer desk are still the same as before, Xiaoting walked into the bedroom and looked at the bookshelf, which still placed Cheng Xiaonan's favorite graphic design and motorcycle magazines.

If this girl had moved in later, at least she would have brought some of her own girl-specific things, but apart from the few clothes she had hung outside, there were no girl's supplies, such as plush toys common in girls' bedrooms, cute cotton slippers, dressers with large mirrors, and handbags...... There is nothing, even the posters posted on the wall, and they are not the most common acting stars in the girls' room, they are all sports, science fiction or motorcycle posters, which are obviously still posted by Cheng Xiaonan in the past. Except for a few women's clothes, the whole room doesn't feel a little bit of life that girls have, as if the owner of this room is a boy at all......

Xiao Ting continued her Sherlock Holmes-style reasoning, and Xiao Nan walked over on one leg. "What are you thinking?"

"I actually ......" Xiaoting stabilized the emotions in her heart: "Actually...... I came with you to find someone, or to ask you some questions, and I don't know how to tell you, you...... Is there anything you want to tell me?"

After Xiao Ting finished speaking, her autumn-like eyes stared at Xiao Nan's eyes, and her eyes were full of expectation. Xiao Nan didn't answer immediately after hearing this, she was silent for a few seconds, and the room suddenly became extremely quiet, leaving only the sound of the two of them breathing carefully.

"That's right......" Xiao Nan finally broke the short silence: "I do have something to tell you, and it is very, very important words, I have been thinking about these words in my heart for a long time, and I have not been able to make up my mind whether I should tell you." But I think I shouldn't hide these things from you, you have the right to know these things and make your choices, so ......"

Xiao Ting, who had been listening to Xiao Nan quietly, heard this, her heart beat wildly involuntarily, although she couldn't be sure what Xiao Nan would say next, but her intuition told her that it must be something closely related to Cheng Xiaonan.

Xiao Nan paused and took a deep breath to calm her overly nervous mood, lest she be too nervous and say something wrong. "So I decided to tell you the truth of the matter now. Of course, these things may sound unbelievable and unbelievable, but please believe me, in fact, I am ......"
