"Obviously, your eyes tell me that you really want to go with me, if you go with me, you may be so happy that you can't sleep all night, but your mouth tells me that you don't want to go today, then, Jin Xiaoyi, let me ask you, do you want to go tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Jin Xiaoyi was stunned.

"If you don't want to go tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow?" he asked quietly, looking at her.

"The day after tomorrow......" Jin Xiaoyi sat there stupidly, not understanding why he suddenly insisted so much on this matter.

"Jin Xiaoyi, for you, there may be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... Next year, next year, next year, but for me, only today. ”

His voice was very calm, even cold, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "I only have today, and I can only promise you today, if you say, we will go to see the sea together tomorrow, I dare not promise you, who knows what will happen to me tomorrow? As for the day after tomorrow......"

"I can't guarantee the day after tomorrow, next year? That will be a more distant thing, I don't know if there will be that day. However, I am sure that the weather is not bad today, and I think, probably without a wheelchair, that I can go to the beach with you like a normal person today. ”

Jin Xiaoyi sat there helplessly, her eyes wide open, and her heartbeat was like thunder.

His determination to go to the beach with her made her feel an indescribable shock and ...... Happiness.

Although she knew no more, he would never love her, he could not be in love with her, he loved someone else.

But, whether it was pity, or sympathy, or care, or whatever, the most important thing was that he was willing to spend one of his precious days with her, just to make her happy.

For Jin Xiaoyi, the happiness that comes from him is often accompanied by sadness, and she always thinks uncontrollably about the fact that his time is running out, thinking that maybe this time will be the last time.

"Jin Xiaoyi, can you tell me, how long will it take you to think it through?"

He sighed softly, looking distressed, "I didn't know that it was such a difficult thing to ask for a date with a beautiful young lady. ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "However, a beautiful young lady always has the privilege of being waited for, and it doesn't matter, you can continue to think about whether or not to accept my invitation." It's just that please tell me the time so that I can do something else while I wait for a reply, like work. ”

As he spoke, he reopened the notebook in front of him, as if he really intended to get to work.

Where did Jin Xiaoyi really let him continue to wait, she didn't hesitate for too long, because what Pei Yuansheng said had a fatal attraction to her.

He's asking her for a date, and, he's saying he's in good shape today, doesn't even need a wheelchair, and can act like a normal person—

It had been a long time since she had seen him walk freely in the sun. During this time, he often did not have the strength to go out the door, and even indoors, he was in a wheelchair most of the time.

How she missed him when she first met, in their teenage years, the boy who made the whole school flock to him and crazy about it, he held a book and wore a white school uniform walking in the green grass of the schoolyard, what a beautiful picture it was.

She knew that time had long since slipped away, and they all went back to their youth, even when they returned to their student days, when she was ordinary and inconspicuous, she had low self-esteem to the bone, and she didn't even have the opportunity to walk side by side with him.

And now, he proposed to go for a walk by the sea with her, as if to fulfill a dream of her girlhood.

God knows how many times she had fantasized about walking side by side with him, even without saying anything, just standing quietly by his side.

Now, he says he's willing to wait for her answer, and even in his mouth, she's "a pretty young lady worth waiting for."

Jin Xiaoyi's heart was sour and happy, and she tried to control herself from tears due to her ups and downs.

She got up slowly, walked in front of him as dignified as usual, and then, when he raised his head, he showed her a bright smile: "Mr. Pei, I am willing to go to the beach with you." ”

Not only today, but also tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next year, next year, next year, next year...... No matter what day it is, I am willing to spend the rest of my life with you.

She added silently in her heart.

It's just that these words, she can't have the courage to say them in her life.

"Do you still call me Mr. Pei?" he raised his eyebrows, leaning back on the sofa and looking at her, "Since it's a date, don't be so businesslike." ”

"Then ......" She was a little embarrassed, what should she call him? Mr. Pei? or ......

"Call me by name. He knew that a title that was too intimate would not suit their relationship, and that she would not be able to speak out because of her shyness.

Pei ...... Yuansheng. She let out a tentative cry, as if she had never called his name so completely. Now she felt his name blossom between her lips and teeth, and her heart was so happy that the corners of her mouth could not help but rise.

He looked up at the woman standing in front of him, she smiled beautifully, very really, in fact, he thought about it carefully, and vaguely remembered a little of what she had been like before.

Jin Xiaoyi back then, he was not unimpressed.

But if you want to say what a good impression, you can't call it, and if you want to say that you hate it, you can't call it.

It was only later, after finding someone to investigate Jin Xiaoyi, that he looked at her previous photos and remembered the girl who had frequently appeared by his side.

I have the impression that when he was in school, there would be no girls staring at him with all kinds of eyes all the time, and he was accustomed to these eyes of admiration or fascination when he was a teenager, and even a little bored.

He noticed her because he thought she was always silently following him.

Like a tail that could not be shaken off, he would sometimes look at her curiously, and then, like a puppy that had been stepped on by its tail, she jumped up visibly, and quickly hung her head and clung to the book on her chest or the hand warmer or something else.

He has no interest in this kind of girl with an ordinary character and a timid personality, and all he can remember is a woman with special eyes or special characteristics.

So, he quickly forgot about her.

It's just that one day I remembered by chance that there was once such a person.

However, he still doesn't have any feelings for her, there are too many people who like him, and those who like him have done too many outrageous things for him, and he really has no need or patience to respond to every feeling.

Later, when Tang Xiao deliberately matched him with this woman who had plastic surgery at a glance in the bowling alley, he was disgusted with Jin Xiaoyi in his heart, and even maliciously exposed her plastic surgery in order to embarrass her.

He thought the woman wouldn't be there again. But she still tried her best to appear in front of him.

So, as she wants, she's pretty smart anyway, and her work ability is not bad, plus she's a friend of the woman he loves.

He stayed with him for a long time, and slowly developed some feelings, and the more he came to the end of his life, the more he couldn't help but pity her.

He wanted to make her as happy as possible while he was still able to do something for her.

He didn't know why she was hiding in the bathroom and crying, he couldn't ask why, but he guessed casually, maybe it was because his body was getting worse and worse, and it was undoubtedly a cruel thing for a person who loved him to watch him weaken day by day.

He didn't want her to cry, he wanted to see her laugh for the rest of his life.

So, he decided to go with her to the beach she liked.

Pei Yuansheng changed his clothes, after all, although it was spring, the eyes outside were very warm, the temperature was almost ten degrees, and when the sun was strong, it might be more than twenty degrees.

Jin Xiaoyi also changed into an orange-yellow long skirt full of sunflowers, and wore a milky white knitted cardigan outside, after all, it is also very inappropriate to wear a Chanel suit to the beach.

The two walked out of the door together, Pei Yuansheng was wearing a dark green plaid shirt and white trousers, the gentle breeze blew his hair up, revealing a smooth forehead and bright eyes, Jin Xiaoyi looked at him blankly, feeling that he was really very, very young under the sun, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was twenty years old.

And he was indeed in good shape today, as he said, and his face was not as pale as usual, and he looked no different from a healthy person.

Jin Xiaoyi really hopes that he can continue like this forever. But she knew exactly how weak his heart was.

Along the way, you will meet the residents of the island from time to time, most of them are lazy and very friendly.

They usually don't see Pei Yuansheng, and occasionally deal with Jin Xiaoyi, so when they see Jin Xiaoyi and Pei Yuansheng walking together, they all show surprised expressions.

"Miss Jin, the weather is nice today, why don't you come out for a walk with your boyfriend?" asked a fisherman enthusiastically.

Jin Xiaoyi smiled embarrassedly and said, "No, this is my ......"

"Well, we're going to go to the beach. Pei Yuansheng interrupted her and said with a smile.

The fisherman looked at the pair of young men with a smile and praised: "What a talented girl, we have never seen such a good-looking person as you on this small island." ”

"Thank you. Pei Yuansheng thanked him, exchanged a few words with the fisherman, and took the initiative to take Jin Xiaoyi's hand and walked away.

As if under a spell, since Pei Yuansheng took her hand, Jin Xiaoyi felt that she couldn't speak or walk.

Even, she is about to be the same hand and foot.

Pei Yuansheng's fingers are very slender, the nails are trimmed very neatly, and there are no calluses on the knuckles, his hands are clean and warm, he holds her hand, she feels very messy in her heart, but infinitely happy.

"Don't be nervous. He looked sideways at her and smiled: "Since it's a date, let's relax and enjoy it." Got it?"

She swallowed nervously and nodded obediently.

The sea breeze ruffled her skirt and ruffled her hair. Usually her hair is always neatly coiled into a delicate bun, but when he put it down today, he found that her hair was actually very long and soft, like a waterfall.

She has a heroine-like beauty in old Hong Kong movies, one moment neat and bright, one moment elegant and polite, and one moment timid as a rabbit, revealing a kind of girlish youth.

If his health wasn't so bad, he thought, maybe he would be willing to try to accept her, after all, he knew that he couldn't be with Tang Xiao in this life, although he couldn't fall in love with Jin Xiaoyi, but he liked her, and he was willing to give her happiness.

It's a pity that he doesn't have such a chance.

So, if you can make her happy for a day, let her be happy for a day.

The two of them didn't walk fast, Jin Xiaoyi was worried that Pei Yuansheng's body would not be able to bear it, and even though he didn't seem to have anything, she was still not at ease.

And Pei Yuansheng deliberately slowed down his pace, he squinted at the golden sand beach in the distance and the sea in the sun, and deeply felt the beauty of this world, if he walked slowly, would time pass slower.

Occasionally, he will also be reluctant to give up on this world.

However, most of the time, he didn't dare to let himself be nostalgic for this world, since sooner or later he had to leave, and if he was more nostalgic, it would be more painful.

"Jin Xiaoyi, what else do you want to do besides looking at the sea?" he asked.

Jin Xiaoyi looked at Pei Yuansheng inexplicably, he asked what was this for?

If that's really the case...... Was she a little too lucky?

Sensing her confused gaze, Pei Yuansheng smiled, reached out to help her gently pull the long hair that was blown by the wind to cover her eyes behind her ears, and then looked into her eyes and said, "I can try my best to accompany you to do some of the things you want." ”

Jin Xiaoyi held her breath and asked in disbelief, "Why?" Pei ...... Yuansheng, why are you so good to me?"

"No, why. His pretty eyes were full of smiles, "I just want you to be happy, does that need a reason?" If I have to need a reason, then I would say, because I want to be a good person for the rest of my life, how about it, is that good enough?"

"Thank you......" Jin Xiaoyi snorted and held back her tears and said, "But, there are too many things I want to do, Pei Yuansheng, I'm afraid you won't be able to accompany me." In this world, how can it be so easy to be a good person? If it is so easy to be a good person, then I am afraid that there are not enough good people in this world. ”

"Ah, I see. Pei Yuansheng's tone seemed to reveal a trace of disappointment, "I thought I still had a chance to be a good person, what a pity." ”

"Hmm. Jin Xiaoyi looked down at her toes, "Pei Yuansheng, you don't have to be a good person, as long as you live healthy and healthy, let me stay by your side and accompany you, it's already very good." I don't need you to do anything else with me, really, my only wish is to be by your side. ”

Maybe it was because he gave her the opportunity to call his name, maybe it was because the sun was too good and the breeze was too warm, she was finally willing to indulge herself, and said the words that had tumbled countless times in her heart by her own nature.

She really, really just wanted him to live, and nothing else.

However, this matter is the most difficult.

With him for so long, she could often feel that he had no desire to live, and she knew that he was already dealing with what had happened after he left.

He was accustomed to arranging everything properly, which was his usual style, so to accompany her now was probably something he had planned, and she could even think that he might have left something for her as a reward for her staying by his side to take care of her.

But she is not rare, she doesn't want anything from him, she just wants to stay by his side and take care of him, watching him silently.

He was silent for a long time, and finally told her honestly: "I'm sorry, I can't do it." ”

She didn't speak, because she didn't need to say it at all, she knew it herself.

Afraid that she would be upset, he smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, although I may not be able to live for a long time, at least, I can stay in this world for a while, and I won't die right away, right." You can stay with me as long as you want, and if you want to go and have a better pursuit, I can also let you go at any time. ”

How tolerant and considerate he was to her, but she would rather not be considerate.

Squinting at the sea in the distance, she suddenly let go of his hand, and under his surprised gaze, she sat down on the ground with a big grin, and began to untie her shoes.

Looking at her casual appearance, he smiled, she was able to be herself, which was good, it was much better than that she didn't even want to say why she was crying, and that she had to maintain a dignified image,

She sat on the ground and took off her shoes, and at the same time looked up and squinted at him: "Barefoot is the correct way to walk on the beach." Wearing shoes is the most troublesome, because the sand will enter the shoes, and you will not be able to get in close contact with the beach, just like taking a shower with your clothes on. ”

"Is that so?" he did not care whether she was logical, and followed her example, and sat down on the floor without grace, and began to untie his shoes.

"Hey, I'll help you. "I'm usually used to taking care of him, and I'm used to him not having to do anything himself, in her impression, he is a young master who is not diligent.

"No," he said, shaking his head, "I'm not going to be able to untie my shoelaces." ”

Jin Xiaoyi smiled: "You are the eldest young master." ”

Pei Yuansheng looked at Jin Xiaoyi's slightly teasing smile, and followed her words and said, "I am not only the eldest young master, but also the domineering president." Should I wake up every day in a bedroom the size of a basketball court, driven to the living room by my English chauffeur in my Rolls-Royce Phantom, and then sit in a diamond-encrusted chair and eat with ivory chopsticks?"

"Poof...... Hahaha, haha......"

People who don't usually joke much will always create an unexpected sense of contrast once they make jokes, looking at Pei Yuansheng who is making fun of himself seriously, Jin Xiaoyi couldn't stop laughing.
