It's rainy in San Francisco in January.

It had been raining for a week, and the air was filled with the smell of dampness, which was depressing.

A week ago, Lin Wenxuan got permission from Yin Shengjie and Qu Mengru to immediately buy plane tickets and arrived in San Francisco on the same flight as Qin Jiaxi and them.

Of course, the reason why Yin Shengjie and Qu Mengru agreed to Lin Wenxuan's trip here was not because she honestly explained to them about Qin Jiaxi.

After all, the two are not married yet, and there are lessons from Yin Xinyan and Qiao Mingjue, how can Yin Shengjie and Qu Mengru rest assured that their baby daughter will follow Qin Jiaxi to live abroad for two months, but fortunately, they thought of Qu Mengnan.

Qu Mengnan is currently living in San Francisco for a long time, and with his American husband, she lives a very comfortable life.

Since the location of Qin Jiaxi's academic exchange is San Francisco, and Lin Wenxuan is so looking forward to going to San Francisco with him, thinking that with Qu Mengnan taking care of and restraining him over there, Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi will definitely not have any unruly behavior.

In fact, Qu Mengnan is just dealing with Yin Shengjie and Qu Mengru, she is living her sweet days here, Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi have a sweet trip, what needs to be taken care of and restrained?

Therefore, in order to express their gratitude, on the first day of arriving in San Francisco, Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi visited Qu Mengnan.

This is also the first time Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi have met Qu Mengnan's American husband, a brown complexion, a tall American boy, he is a few years younger than Qu Mengnan, and his personality is exceptionally cheerful and open-minded, which is a good match for Qu Mengnan. I heard that Lin Wenxuan and Qin Jiaxi came to San Francisco to play, and the American was very happy and recommended them many interesting places, but unfortunately because of the rain, they didn't go anywhere.

Today is Friday, and the rain stopped last night, although the ground is still a little wet, but this can't stop Lin Wenxuan's enthusiasm to go out.

At half past four in the afternoon, Qin Jiaxi returned to the hotel on time, and the two sorted out their things according to the agreement last night, and took a bus to San Francisco's famous tourist attraction, Alamo Square.

Lin Wenxuan has only been to this place once.

At that time, she lived here alone, not only to study advertising, but also to work constantly to earn money to support herself, for her, she could go out and play a pitiful time, most of the time was spent in the supermarket to buy discounted goods and the gym.

It's just that when she was working in a restaurant, she heard them say that Alamo Square is known as a "collection of postcard scenery", and from that time, Lin Wenxuan was full of yearning for this place, but unfortunately, when Qin Jiaxi came, she couldn't take him with her.

was recalling the past, the bus had stopped at the station, and Qin Jiaxi pulled Lin Wenxuan out of the car.

The afterglow of the setting sun wraps the whole square in a light golden coat, the air is mixed with the smell of mud mixed with grass after the rain, there are not many people in the square, there are two old people walking under the trees not far away, there are children playing in the middle of the lawn, there are couples snuggling together, and there are happy big families ready to enjoy dinner here, just like a landscape oil painting, quiet and peaceful.

On Steiner Street on the east side of the square, six Victorian houses, known as the painted ladies, are neatly arranged, with pointed roofs, wide terraces, and long staircases in front of the door, all quietly bathed in the shallow light of the setting sun.

Qin Jiaxi and Lin Wenxuan found a quieter place, took out a picnic cloth from their backpacks, spread it on the ground smoothly, and then took out the sandwiches, hamburgers and milk that they had bought a long time ago, and then sat down with a smile.

The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, looking up at the remnant sun in the sky, with a gentle and happy smile on their faces.

"The view is so good, I would have rented a car to take you over if I had known, and then I went to the supermarket to buy a small barbecue, we brought our own ingredients and could enjoy a delicious picnic barbecue in this place. Qin Jiaxi pushed his glasses, with some regret and regret.

Lin Wenxuan smiled: "It's okay, anyway, my aunt lives here, and we want to come over in the future, there are many reasons." ”

"You're right, we do have many, many hours to spare. Is that where you mentioned it to me last time?"

"Yes, it's a shame that you couldn't bring you to play last time you came to visit, but now, I think maybe it's a good thing. Lin Wenxuan's voice was brisk, "After all, we were just friends at that time, and I hope that this place has witnessed our happy moment." ”

Qin Jiaxi raised his hand and scratched Lin Wenxuan's nose dotingly, and also smiled: "Little fool, if I had known that you would have cared about me in your heart at that time, maybe I would have asked you to be my girlfriend when I came over, maybe we would have had a romantic trip at that time." ”

"By the way, Jiaxi, you have liked me for so long, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lin Wenxuan suddenly sat up straight and looked at him fixedly.

This is a question she has wanted to ask him for a long time.

If he didn't confess to Lin Wenxuan when he was in college because he didn't want to disturb the love between Lin Wenxuan and Qiao Mingjue, then what about before that? Why didn't he say it for so many years before that?

When it came to this question, Qin Jiaxi showed a rare green smile on his face, "I won't tell you the truth, I didn't have the courage at that time." ”

Lin Wenxuan asked helplessly: "Am I terrible?"

"It's not that you're scary, it's that I'm afraid you're going to reject me. Qin Jiaxi took a deep breath and patiently explained, "At that time, we were very good friends, we talked about everything, and it can even be said that we have understood each other deeply, I am like your best friend, listening to you pour out your thoughts, listening to you tell interesting stories encountered during the day, playing and laughing with you, and giving up good night with you, this seems to have become my habit." ”

Lin Wenxuan pursed her lips lightly and did not make a sound.

"I remember very clearly, because I secretly like you in my heart, so, I can borrow a pen and a notebook from you, I think it will be the best reason for me to talk to you more, unclear questions, I will try my best to find friends to help pretend to be reluctant to ask you, even if you go to buy me a bag of snacks for a dollar between classes, when I give you money and you refuse, I will feel that that thing is very sweet, because you bought it and gave it to me.

"One of the stupidest things I've ever done is when we played the game of who is undercover at the Lantern Festival Gala in our class, I remember very clearly, in the last round of the game, you were the only girl involved, I drew undercover, you drew civilians, undercover lost, and the punishment for another boy was singing, and he sang very happily, and what I drew was to say the words 'I like you' to a girl.

"You know, I was very happy at that time, just as I mustered up the courage to say these four words to you in a coax, but you looked at me with a smile and told me not to be embarrassed, just say that you are the most beautiful, and let me go...... Haha, I was really stupid at that time, and I thought that instead of confessing that I couldn't become friends, it was better to maintain the relationship I have now, as long as I like you silently, it's enough......"

Listening to Qin Jiaxi's words, Lin Wenxuan's heart was sour, but there was a smug expression on her face.

In that case, how much courage does it take to say those four words?

And when he finally mustered up the courage to speak, her behavior that seemed to give him the stairs was not a harm to him?

"Cut, coward!" Lin Wenxuan teased, and couldn't help but ask again, "I...... I have one more question, if, I mean if, if I really never liked you, if what I said to Yin Xinyan was true, if I went back in time now, and went back to that day, when Yin Xinyan rushed at me with a fruit knife, would you still pounce and block that knife for me, even if that knife was fatal?"

"Yes, I never regret making this decision. Qin Jiaxi's tone was firm.

"So what if I'm not moved at all, and don't even look at you afterwards?"

"Then I will too. ”

"Why are you so stupid?"

Qin Jiaxi smiled, took Lin Wenxuan in his arms, and said in a very soft voice: "If you really love someone, even if you know that there will be no result, even if things change, only I am left alone, even if the whole world will laugh at me, I will not let go for love, even if I accompany you through such a scene hundreds of times, I am willing, even if, in your eyes, I am just an out-and-out fool." ”

Lin Wenxuan's eyes were slightly red, she turned her face awkwardly, and her voice was muffled: "You are a fool." ”

With a sweet smile on his lips, Qin Jiaxi lowered his head and lightly branded a kiss on Lin Wenxuan's slightly reddened cheek.

His lips were soft and cool, but her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter.

She raised her eyes slightly, and met his gaze, his eyes were dark and quiet, and her gaze was soft, and she seemed to be able to see her own reflection in his eyes under the fading sky.

The breeze blew and stirred the broken hair in Lin Wenxuan's ears.

She came back to her senses suddenly, trying to steady her heartbeat, and her speech became stumbling: "That...... I...... I'm hungry, so it's time to let it cool when I have so much to eat, let's hurry up and eat? The wind is cold at night, I don't know if it will rain again, so we better go back early. ”

"In this life, as long as you are happy and happy, I will do whatever it takes. ”

Qin Jiaxi's voice was gentle, as if hidden in the wind, Lin Wenxuan pretended that she hadn't heard anything, silently picked up the cheese beef burger bought from her favorite fast food restaurant, handed one to Qin Jiaxi, and unpacked it herself and ate it in a big gulp.

Qin Jiaxi smiled lightly, and as if nothing had happened, he quietly ate a hamburger with Lin Wenxuan.

The clouds on the horizon are rendered pale red, and a rainbow looms.

The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two, and on the lawn, the shadows of the two were close together, as if they could not be separated no matter what.
