Cheng Chencheng glanced at him, turned around and left.

Shen Xize stood in place for a long time. Seeing Cheng Chencheng push open the door and walk in, he lowered his eyes slightly, removed the obscurity in it, walked over silently to pick up the bicycle on the ground, and slowly left.

After that, it was another full three days, and Shen Xize did not come to school.

"Chenchen, are you going home now?"

Cheng Chencheng packed up the books on the desk and replied nonchalantly, "Well, what's wrong?"

"Let's go and sing K together, or...... Or how about going to the snack street together?" Xie Caixuan shook Cheng Chencheng's hand, his face full of earnestness.

After she broke up with Bai Yifei, although she pretended not to mind on the surface, she was very sad in her heart, and she could only find something to do, so that she would not fall into unnecessary love and could not extricate herself.

Cheng Chencheng zipped up his schoolbag, sighed, and looked up at Xie Caixuan: "What happened that day?"

As soon as it came to this topic, Xie Caixuan was intimidated. Her eyes wandered unnaturally and said, "It's nothing. Alright, stop talking about me and him. If we don't want to eat, we can go shopping......"

"You've been shopping three days in a row this week. Cheng Chencheng looked at her calmly, "If you still choose to escape, I'm afraid it's not a good idea." At this time, she rarely showed the professionalism of being an emotional counselor before.

Xie Caixuan drooped her head and remained silent without speaking.

When Cheng Chencheng saw her like this, he still relented in the end. She rubbed Xie Caixuan's hair, and was about to agree to her request just now, but her phone suddenly vibrate.

Cheng Chencheng took it out and looked at it, hung up and put it back. But it didn't take long for it to ring unrelentingly. Cheng Chencheng hung up again, and before he could turn it to mute, the phone rang again.

"Who?" Xie Caixuan was curious.

"Nothing. I may have something to attend to, so you can go home first. ”

After Cheng Chencheng said goodbye to Xie Caixuan, he took his mobile phone and walked to a place where there was no one and gave Shen Xize a back.

As soon as it rang, the phone was answered.

"What's the matter?" Cheng Chencheng said lightly.

Shen Xize was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Do you have time now?"

“…… Well. ”

"I've already thought about the third thing, can you come over for a while?" I don't know if it's an illusion, Cheng Chencheng always felt that his tone was a little cautious.

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Chencheng asked, "...... Where to go?"

"Where I took you that day. They'll take care of getting you there. ”

“…… All right. ”

Cheng Chencheng took a taxi to the Century Building. When the staff at the front desk saw her, they respectfully confirmed, "Hello, are you Miss Cheng?"

Cheng Chencheng was slightly stunned and nodded.

After the other party explained his work to the other person at the counter, he took Cheng Chencheng to the upper floor from the exclusive elevator inside.

"Ding-"

The elevator reached the top floor.

After the staff swiped the door open with the door card, they motioned for Cheng Chencheng to enter, and then left.

Cheng Chencheng is here for the second time. Recalling the last experience that was not good, her heart was slightly heavy.

Cheng Chencheng walked to the door, and stretched out his hand to the doorknob with some hesitation, but before he could decide whether to open it or not, the door opened by itself.

Shen Xize stood inside, looking at her condescendingly, expressionless.

"Come in. Shen Xize turned sideways and made way for her.

Unlike last time, the portrait in the room had disappeared, which undoubtedly made Cheng Chencheng breathe a sigh of relief.

"The third piece...... What is it?" she asked, looking back.

Shen Xize walked to her side, lowered his head, picked up her hand, and put the key in her hand.

"I know you don't like the picture I drew you, but...... I hope you will be able to accept it. As for whether you want to open it or not, you can do it. ”

Cheng Chencheng looked at the key in his hand, this was the second time he had seen it. She shook her head a little and asked, "Is this ...... Where's the key?"

Shen Xize put his hands in his pockets and looked at her with lowered eyes: "Do you want to see it?"

Slightly stunned for a moment, Cheng Chencheng finally made up his mind. She held the key in her hand, looked up and said, "Since it is the third thing agreed with you, I will abide by it." ”

Shen Xize looked at her and didn't speak, and Cheng Chencheng didn't retreat. After a while, he grabbed Cheng Chencheng's wrist and led her to the second floor.

Cheng Chencheng used the key to open the door on the second floor. It was a dark room, and she fumbled for the door to find the switch, turned on the light, and every qiē in the room was illuminated.

There are still portraits of her hanging on the walls, but there are many more of them than the last time I saw them, the most conspicuous of which is the one hanging in the center, eight feet square, which depicts her immersed in her homework, and unlike other drawings, this one is colorful.

Without the expected disgust, this time Cheng Chencheng felt much calmer.

"Is this your studio?" asked Cheng Chencheng.

Her attitude flattered Shen Xize. There was a rare smile on his pale face: "Hmm." ”

"If you don't usually go to class, it's all ...... Do you want to stay here?"

Shen Xize looked up inside and said softly, "That's ...... It will make me feel like you're on my side. ”

Cheng Chencheng was stunned. She lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

"Huh?"

"Knowing that I proposed dating you because of Xie Caixuan, why did you still agree, why do you still like me?"

Shen Xize didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

Cheng Chencheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, she frowned and asked, "I...... It's not worth your treatment. Don't you understand that I've been using you from beginning to end?" Shen Xize was the first time he had seen her love for her, with such big ups and downs.

"Nope. ”

Cheng Chencheng raised his eyes and looked at him puzzled.

"When you and I offered to have a relationship. I am very happy. ”

“…… Huh?"

"Even if I know you're using me. I'm still very happy. He was answering her previous question, "So you don't have to feel any guilt." ”

Cheng Chencheng looked at him in a daze. The young man's eyes are rarely warm and soft, fading away from the gloom and edges of the past, and he is honest with her.

"I'm sorry, but there's ...... Thank you for the gift. Cheng Chencheng looked away, "...... I love it. ”

"Thank you. ”

Thank you.

***

After the third thing was completed, Shen Xize disappeared again. And this time it lasted for half a month.

The days are still going on as usual. As he was absent, the less he was mentioned in the class.

It was only once when Xie Caixuan came to her that she inadvertently mentioned the sentence "Did you drop out of school at the same table", and Cheng Chencheng was shocked that he hadn't appeared for a long time.

But there were two unfulfilled promises between them.

"Chenchen, you can help me block it when he comes in a while. When she got out of school, Xie Caixuan asked her like this.

Half a month has passed, and the two still haven't completely reconciled. No, Chencheng knew the reason why Xie Caixuan was angry. At the end of the basketball game that day, Class A narrowly won the championship. Qi Qian excitedly stepped forward and hugged Bai Yifei, who was just coming down, and what made Xie Caixuan even more angry was-

"Qi Qian kissed him on the cheek! And he didn't push it away!!"

Cheng Chencheng didn't know how to comfort her, persuasion was definitely useless, so he had to go with the flow. Bai Yifei likes Xie Caixuan so much, he will definitely not let it go.

"Where's Xuanxuan?" As soon as he went out, Cheng Chencheng was intercepted by Bai Yifei.

"You're a step late. Cheng Chencheng said lightly, "She has gone home." But if you chase it now, you should ......."

Before she finished speaking, Bai Yifei ran out and chased it out.

Cheng Chencheng returned home alone. Eating dinner, chatting with her aunt as usual, trying to get rid of Kim's pestering her, everything is no different from usual. But Cheng Chencheng always felt a little uneasy inexplicably.

With this complicated feeling, she finally fell asleep, and in the middle of the night, she suddenly received a call from Shen Xize.

"Hey?" she was so confused that she couldn't open her eyes.

“…… It's me. ”

Hearing the familiar voice, Cheng Chencheng suddenly came to her senses, she looked at the number on the screen, and only after confirming that it was Shen Xize did she ask, "What's wrong?"

“…… The fourth thing that comes to mind. His voice sounded a little muffled.

Cheng Chencheng breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, nothing big happened. She asked, "What is it?" it must be...... Do you want to do it now?"

"Hmm. ”

Cheng Chencheng held his mobile phone and waited for him to continue.

"Can you...... Say goodnight to me?"

"Huh?" Cheng Chencheng didn't react for a while. The things he asked for were getting simpler and simpler, which faintly deepened Cheng Chencheng's uneasiness.

Shen Xize didn't speak, as if waiting for her.

"Okay...... Good night. Cheng Chencheng said.

There was still no one over there.

"Shen Xize?" Cheng Chencheng called him.

"Thank you. His voice sounded extraordinarily calm.

Cheng Chencheng wanted to say something more, but he had already hung up.

Looking at the faintly bright mobile phone screen, Cheng Chencheng frowned slightly, sighed lightly, and couldn't sleep again all night.

After that, Shen Xize was heard from again. During this time, Cheng Chencheng's body became weaker and weaker. At first, it was just easy to catch a cold, but later on, I started to have a high fever. When she is rarely not sick, she will also feel tired easily, and often have to rest for a long time after reading a book.

Xie Caixuan came to Cheng Chencheng every day after school, but then Cheng Chencheng's energy became less and less, so in order not to disturb her rest, Xie Caixuan had to come to see her and leave immediately.

"Chenchen, why did you come out? Aren't you burning?" Aunt Wang was worried when she saw her come out, and hurriedly took a coat and put it on her.

It's been a long time since Kim has seen his beloved master. It stuck out its tongue happily and wagged its tail as it circled around Cheng Chencheng.

"I feel better today. Cheng Chencheng smiled. Indeed, she does look much more energetic today than she did some time ago.

Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "You have to pay more attention, if you get sick again, you won't be beautiful." ”

Cheng Chencheng chuckled and did not speak.

The afternoon sun is a bit lazy. Cheng Chencheng sat on a recliner in the backyard and quietly looked at the surroundings. The state of mind is more comfortable than ever.

"Chenchen, your courier. Aunt Wang said and pushed open the door, Cheng Chencheng's face was very pale, especially under the sunlight, almost transparent, "Why do I look at you wrong, is it a fever again?"

"Nope. Cheng Chencheng poked his forehead and replied.

"That's good. Aunt Wang put her mind at ease and handed the express in her hand to Cheng Chencheng.

There is no sender's name on the courier note, only the time of departure, which was a month ago, and the reservation was forwarded to the recipient today.

Cheng Chencheng suddenly had a bad premonition.

She tore open the outer packaging, revealing the contents at last.

-- It's a delicate notebook.

This is the diary that the original owner wrote to Bai Yifei.

Cheng Chencheng flipped through and found a folded sketch paper on the last page, Cheng Chencheng opened it and was stunned.

It's still her portrait, but Shen Xize painted it for her on the day of the library. In the bottom corner, Shen Xize wrote in pencil "I hope you are happy". However, this is too light, if Cheng Chencheng is not looking at the sun, it is difficult to notice.

Cheng Chencheng immediately got up, returned home and took a coat and prepared to go out.

"Where are you going? You're not fully ill. Auntie stopped her.

Cheng Chencheng coughed twice and waved his hand: "I'll go to a place and come back in a while." ”

"Chenchen, Chenchen!"

Cheng Chencheng trotted out of the house and took a taxi to the Century Building. As soon as she got out of the car, she ran to the door of the building, but the whole building was empty, and the door was locked. Cheng Chencheng's body was a little weak, and he slowly sat on the ground against the gate. She took out her mobile phone to call Shen Xize, but no one answered.

Cheng Chencheng called Xie Caixuan again, and Xie Caixuan picked it up: "Chenchen, are you better?"

"Has Shen Xize been to school these days?" Cheng Chencheng asked bluntly.

"What?"

Cheng Chencheng coughed twice and did not speak.

Xie Caixuan hesitated: "He ......"

"What's wrong with him?"

He ...... He is dead. Just last month, we attended his funeral yesterday......"

Cheng Chencheng had a "buzzing" tinnitus in his ears.

"I know you like him, so I didn't sue you, I'm sorry, Chenchen...... Chenchen?Chenchen?Are you listening?What's wrong with you?"

Cheng Chencheng's consciousness became more and more unclear, and gradually, her hand hung weakly to the side, and her mobile phone fell to the ground.

The whole world was finally left in silent darkness.
