Xiao Ran finished a dinner in extreme silence, when she was with Xia Chenxuan on weekdays, every time she deliberately came up with a topic to lead Xia Chenxuan to say more, but now that she was silent, Xia Chenxuan didn't know what to say, so she had to continue to be silent.

The two of them walked out of the door of the hotel, Xiao Ran rubbed his slightly red eyes, and asked with a smile, "Let's go to the school gate to stay for a while, is it okay?"

Xia Chenxuan nodded, did not refuse, just took off his coat casually, and wanted to drape it on Xiao Ran's shoulders.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran raised his hand to reject him, and a slightly tired smile appeared on his face: "No need, since you have made your choice, don't make one more person sad." ”

Xia Chenxuan's hand holding the coat suddenly froze, and he was stunned for a moment before he nodded and put the coat back on.

The two of them paced slowly, silently along the way, until they reached the bookstore near the school, Xiao Ran stopped, looked at the gentle light in the bookstore, and smiled faintly.

"This is where he first tutored me in my schoolwork, and it was also the place where I first became interested in him. ”

Xia Chenxuan didn't have to ask to know who the "he" in her mouth was referring to, looking at the faint smile on Xiao Ran's face, he didn't make a sound, just listened quietly.

Xiao Ran didn't wait for him to talk, paused slightly, and then continued: "However, I have never told him these words. ”

"Oh, why?"

Xiao Ran smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Who knows, maybe it's because I feel that the future is long and I don't want to expose my heart too early, maybe it's just because I'm too cowardly in my subconscious?!"

When Xia Chenxuan heard this, he sneered and nodded: "Well, it's understandable, after all, since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years'." ”

Xiao Ran didn't care about the ridicule in his words, and continued: "I felt that it was over, this young man was not only so good-looking, but also so careful, he simply didn't leave anyone a chance to live. Later, every time I felt that he was special to me, I couldn't help but think crankily, and at the same time, I was reluctant and restrained, for fear that I was making myself amorous. It wasn't until that Christmas that year, when he came back from surgery abroad, that when I saw him smiling at me, I suddenly understood something. ”

"What is it?"

"If I live a new life and I can't make a choice according to my own heart, then what's the point of me coming back to life? ”

As the night deepened, the sky began to drift with a fine rain and fog at some point, and the weather was gloomy all day, and finally it couldn't help but fall. Xia Chenxuan raised his head and stared at the dark sky quietly, until the rain and fog became more and more urgent, and he had to squint his eyes to vaguely see the rich black that made it difficult to breathe through the rain fog, and then slowly turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran, who was also standing in the rain and fog.

"It's raining, I'll send you back. ”

Xiao Ran shook his head and turned his head to look at the campus with a few lights on the opposite side: "Let's go for a walk around the campus, okay?"

Although he was talking about a question, Xiao Ran didn't wait for him to answer, and took the lead in walking towards the school, as if he expected Xia Chenxuan to follow her in. However, Xia Chenxuan did not disappoint her, he only hesitated for a moment, and then raised his foot to follow her.

Xiao Ran's shop was opened at the entrance of the school, and the doorman uncle naturally recognized her, so he only registered and let them in.

Since entering the campus, everywhere she passed, Xiao Ran used a soft and slow voice to slowly narrate the past of her and Xia Chenxuan. Xia Chenxuan didn't respond, but he didn't interrupt her words, until the two walked to the small playground, Xiao Ran stopped talking, and looked at this place where she and Xia Chenxuan really began to intersect for the first time. Suddenly, it seemed that she saw the young man with a smile on his eyebrows again, and called her softly, 'Ranran'.

After a long time, Xiao Ran, who came back to his senses, touched his face that didn't know whether it was tears or rain, and finally squatted down uncontrollably, and the whimpering sound that had been suppressed for a long time spread from near and far on the small playground.

Xia Chenxuan looked down at Xiao Ran, who was squatting on the ground and crying uncontrollably, his hand that had already reached into the air, hesitated for a long time, and then retracted behind his back. After Xiao Ran's emotions that had been venting for a long time finally calmed down, he moved his feet, which were already a little stiff, took off the coat that was already a little damp, draped it on her shoulders, and said, "You will catch a cold like this, I will send you back." ”

Xiao Ran kept his head down and was silent for a while before he asked in a somewhat hoarse voice, "My feet are numb, can you carry me back?"

Xia Chenxuan looked at Xiao Ran, who had been refusing to raise his head in front of him, his arm hanging by his side trembled slightly, and he squatted lightly in front of Xiao Ran: "Come up slowly." ”

Xiao Ran was silent and didn't move, and Xia Chenxuan didn't urge her, just squatted quietly in front of her. After waiting for a while, Xiao Ran behind him slowly lay on his back.

The rain was getting more and more urgent, Xia Chenxuan got up slowly, his steps were not in a hurry, and he slowly walked back step by step with her on his back. Xiao Ran lay quietly on his shoulder, carefully sniffing the familiar and unfamiliar smell from his body. Looking at the faintly lit road in front of him, Xiao Ran not only hoped that it would have no end, and would go to the end with him like this, but also hoped that it would be the end in a snap of his fingers, and he could be white-headed with him in a second.

"Xia Chenxuan ......"

"Well, I'm here. ”

"If only you hadn't met me then. ”

“…… Maybe" maybe...... It would be good, maybe worse.

"Xia Chenxuan. ”

"Hmm. ”

"You don't want to get engaged to someone else, okay?"

Xia Chenxuan didn't respond to her again, he didn't know how to respond and couldn't respond. After Xiao Ran said this, she didn't say anything again until Xia Chenxuan carried her to the door of the community and put her down. The two of them looked at each other motionless for a long time before Xia Chenxuan sighed and broke the silence.

Xia Chenxuan: "You go up, I'm leaving." ”

"Hmm. Xiao Ran nodded, but still stood in place without moving.

Xia Chenxuan smiled reluctantly: "Why don't you go up after you have promised?"

Xiao Ran suddenly raised his head and looked straight at him: "During this time, I caused you trouble, right?"

"Nope. Xia Chenxuan shook his head.

"The day after tomorrow......" Xiao Ran glanced at the little fox who had been holding Xia Chenxuan in his hand, "I won't send you off, without me, no one will bother you anymore, I hope you can live freely and do whatever you want in the future." ”

Xia Chenxuan looked at Xiao Ran, who had already turned red, and nodded after a while: "Thank you." ”

Xiao Ran took off the coat on his shoulders and handed it to him: "You go back first, I'll watch you go." ”

When Xia Chenxuan heard this, he glanced at her with a somewhat complicated expression, took his coat and nodded "Okay", then turned around and slowly walked towards the intersection.

Xiao Ran looked at his increasingly blurred figure in the rain and mist, and suddenly realized that he would never see Xia Chenxuan again in his life, and suddenly his heart panicked.

Xia Chenxuan, who hadn't walked far, faintly heard footsteps running towards him, and before he could look back, he was hugged tightly from behind.

"Chen Xuan, I can't give up on you. ”

Why don't you hit the south wall and don't look back, I already said I'm going to get engaged, we can't, I'm not the Xia Chenxuan you like, why are you so stubborn?" "I don't want to hit the south wall at all, I just want to crash into your chest." ”
