At the end of the secluded corridor, Cao'e pulled the corners of her mouth and asked, "When did OPPA arrive in Seoul?"

"Arrived yesterday. ”

"Then why don't you say something, at least say it before you come to the company, I'll pick you up." ”

"It's not a surprise today. ”

"Hehe, surprise..."

"Besides, your phone isn't hiding in the dormitory, how can I contact you? ”

"That's right. ”

"How's the stomach bug?"

"It's ok, nothing. ”

Zhang Shi was speechless for a while, lowered his head and was silent for half a minute, and the atmosphere was silent for half a minute. When I came, I was elated, and I wanted to share words, but I was choked in my throat.

Zhang Shi picked up the food box and handed it to Cao'e, and explained with a puzzled look: "This morning, I estimate that you are either in the company or have a notice, and it is impossible to have a mobile phone on you, so I sent an SNS saying that I am going to FNC." Then my aunt sent me a private message and told me to let me go to your house and ask me to help with something. ”

Cao'e frowned: "My doll mother?"

Zhang Shi: "When I went, there was a younger lady over there, who said it was your cousin. Then my aunt handed me the food box and asked me to hand it over to you so that the company wouldn't find out. Auntie said that she would not come, so as not to cause you trouble, and it was still a little inconvenient for the old man to go to the company. Auntie saw you on TV, saw that you had lost weight, and felt sorry for you, so she prepared so much. Seeing her daughter become so thin, her aunt and uncle were very distressed. I also gave them my number and can call me if there is anything in the future. ”

Cao'e held the handle of the food box tightly, lowered her head, and tears dripped down her cheeks on the lid of the food box. The hard work of practicing, the confusion of the future, the longing for my parents, the grievances I suffered for so long after practicing until my debut... Everything, under the fragility of illness, is magnified and turned into a surging burst of tears to vent out.

Zhang Shi looked at Cao'e who was hugging a ball and sobbing, and could only turn his back to her, and by the way, he blocked the curious gaze of the corridor for her. I am no longer qualified to give her shoulders, nor is I qualified to wipe the tears on her face, what I can do is to silently protect her dignity.

Listening to the voice behind him, he knew that Cao'e was not crying, so he turned around and took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

Cao'e lowered her head and wiped her tears, raised her head and opened her red eyes, and the pear blossom smiled with rain: "Miyane, oppa, let oppa see this." Ahh It's a shame, really. oppa, thank you, for running this trip alone for such a little thing, my mother is really. ”

Zhang Shi looked at the distant and polite Cao'e, smiled and said words of thanks, as if a neighbor was helping the courier. Zhang Shi breathed a long sigh of relief, looked away in disappointment, took out the gift he had prepared and handed it to Cao'e, and said coldly: "The gift I brought you from Beijing, take it, I'll go." After speaking, without waiting for Cao'e to get up and send off, she strode away and left in a hurry as if she had fled.

Stopping in a place where Cao'e couldn't see around the corner, it was as if there was a fire burning in his chest, a cloud of grief and indignation. Zhang Shi was crazy and generally paced back and forth around the corner, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more chilling he felt.

Zhang Shi gritted his teeth and punched the wall, his injuries were blue and red, but he didn't seem to realize it. The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Shi couldn't get out, turned around and walked back towards Cao'e with an angry face.

Zhang Shi walked up to Cao'e, his chest rising and falling violently, and his eyes were as sharp as a falcon.

Cao'e held the gift in her arms, looking up at the oppa who was coming and going back inexplicably, her red eyes, her pink nose twitching from time to time, and her childlike blank eyes all made Cao'e cute like a child.

Zhang Shi's eyes were full of grief and indignation, and he asked in a trembling voice: "'I'm sorry?' 'Thank you?' Why do you say this?!!Tell me why!" Cao'e was frightened, lowered her head and trembled and did not speak.

Seeing Cao'e like this, Zhang Shi was about to explode. After pacing back and forth quickly, it took a while for his mood to stabilize a little.

Zhang Shi asked in a trembling voice: "What am I? Cao'e, answer me, what am I? What am I to you?"

"We've known each other since we were ten years old, and it's been 15 years now, fifteen years, Cao'e, tell me what these fifteen years are to you?"

"I went from being an elementary school student, to junior high school, to high school, to being a discharger, to the present. In the past fifteen years, we have known, met, known, and finally naturally fallen in love. In the past fifteen years, I can remember every moment, you are there. Seriously, even though I thought we might not be lovers, I never thought that you would say 'thank you' or 'sorry' to me. ”

"I can't imagine you're going to say this to me, I can't imagine you're going to treat me like a stranger even after we break up. I never imagined that one day we would be talking with masks. Every day I wear a mask and go out into society to talk to everyone, but when I turn around, there is no one who can make me take it off, not even someone who can make me open my heart so that I can't breathe. How sad that must be..."

"So can you tell me, why? I don't understand, I really don't understand.... What does my existence mean to you, and what do these fifteen years of youth mean to you..."

"Seriously, I heard you say this, you know how chilled I am? My heart felt like it was going to explode, and I kept asking myself why, why, what the hell is going on?!

A tear dripped on the gift box, like a signal of a broken embankment, and the tears kept dripping on the box. Zhang Shi was at a loss in a panic and didn't know how to comfort him.

Cao'e, who was crying more and more sadly, choked up while crying and said, "OP... パーパートラック Bo! How can there be a man... Broke up... Also with the predecessor of the United ··· Contact, if it is... If it was before Taeyeon... The seniors misunderstood, but... But what can I do? ”

Zhang Shi's nose was sour, and he raised his head and blinked his eyes vigorously, not letting tears flow down from his overflowing eyes. Choked in his throat, Zhang Shi's lips trembled, and his eyes were red as he looked at Cao'e, who was crying like a tearful person.

He said loudly: "Ah! She's her, you're you! What are you talking about! Don't think so much useless! oppa can solve it by yourself! Ah! Next time I find you like this, I... I'm going to beat you! I know! Hey, I'm going to do it!" After saying that, he took out all the handkerchiefs on his body and put them in her hands, and strode out.

Standing outside the FNC gate, Zhang Shi looked back at the four-story building, reached out and touched the tears on his face, and disappeared into the crowd on the corner of the street.
