Xu Xinyi didn't bother to explain, if she told the boss that Shen Chenchen was just a classmate she wasn't familiar with. He'll definitely think about it. The result is only darker and darker.

When a pot of red lobsters was placed in front of him, Xu Xinyi's mood suddenly brightened. She thought, in fact, what an easily satisfied person she is, as long as she has food when she is hungry, clothes when she is cold, and a bed when she is sleepy, this world is still very beautiful.

She wore transparent gloves and peeled the lobster shell intently, and ate the hot lobster meat until the tip of her nose was covered with a dense layer of sweat, crystal clear.

She remembers that the first time she ate lobster was when she was in the third grade of elementary school, and that time she was sent by her parents to her grandmother's house in the countryside during the summer vacation. Grandma's house is made of red bricks and black tiles, and the entrance is densely paved with cobblestones.

Every day near the evening, there are many children with bare feet stepping on it, and the competition is to see who lasts for a long time. Grandma sat at the door with a stool and watched them laugh happily while cleaning the lobsters that Grandpa had caught from the river.

Grandma is very kind and treats the children as if they were her own grandchildren. When dinner is cooked, there is a large table of children eating shrimp around, so it is not lively.

Later, my grandparents died one after another because of their age and poor health. Xu Xinyi never came back. But she will never forget the taste of lobster, because it is full of grandparents' love and innocent memories. The habit of eating shrimp has also been preserved to this day.

Seeing that the basin had bottomed out, the curling heat was gone. Xu Xinyi took off the gloves stained with sauce and looked at the time. It's already half past eight. It's better to go back early.

As soon as he got up and finished paying, he turned around and saw Shen Chenchen wearing black clothes, walking in front of him with a pack of cigarettes in his hand.

The boss gave her change, and she also saw Shen Chenchen in her eyes

"Eh, isn't this your boyfriend?"

"Shh Xu Xinyi hurriedly motioned him to be quiet, although it was several meters away, she was still afraid of being heard by Shen Chenchen.

She slipped the change into her bag and crept after him. It's like being a thief.

After walking more than ten meters away, I turned right into a dark alley, and if it wasn't for the moonlight, I could hardly see the road. It turns out that there is such a place in City A, it seems that his vision is really too small, and Bai has lived in City A for so many years. Xu Xinyi was hesitating whether to continue to follow. She's always been curious.

As soon as she reached the corner, a dark shadow burst out, causing her to scream and take a few steps back, her back pressed against a nearby wall.

When she finally stood on her feet and settled down. only to find out that this person was actually Shen Chenchen.

He had a cold face, and under the reflection of the moonlight, Xu Xinyi saw a smile full of abuse that was slightly raised at the corner of his mouth. With such a scene, such an atmosphere, there is a creepy feeling.

Watching him approach him step by step, Xu Xinyi's heart jumped to her throat, and she forgot to run away for a while.

He stammered and yelled, "You, you... Don't come here, I'll do it if you come over again. ”

Shen Chenchen ignored her completely, his face was on her face, only so close, Xu Xinyi was afraid that he would take advantage of him if he moved slightly. So she had to subconsciously move to the side step by step.

How could Shen Chenchen let her run away so easily, and then took a step forward to the left, one hand propped up on the wall to block her way.

His eyes were deep, like a bottomless pit trying to suck people into.

Xu Xinyi was so frightened that she couldn't breathe, she closed her eyes and didn't dare to look at him, "Don't mess around, I'll tell the teacher." ”

"Heh" Shen Chenchen laughed contemptuously, "Do you think you are a primary school student, and you also make a small report with the teacher." Even if you were, you wouldn't have thought to tell your teacher about it. ”

Xu Xinyi was annoyed that his mind was seen through by him.

"I'll call the police!"

"You report, I didn't do anything to you." Shen Chenchen slowly retracted his arms, he just wanted to scare and scare her, and he had never thought anything wrong about her. Slowly took out the cigarette case from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and smoked.

He smoked like a man who had gone through vicissitudes, and the scarlet cigarette butts flickered at night. Layers of white mist spit out from the mouth.

I have to admit that this boy's smoking action is very charming, not as contrived as those students.

Xu Xinyi stared blankly against the wall. Between swallowing clouds and spitting mist, Shen Chenchen looked at her sideways

"You're not leaving, are you waiting for me to do something to you?"

Xu Xinyi came back to her senses and fled in a hurry.

Shen Chenchen stood in place and watched her little figure disappear a little bit until it disappeared, then he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it with his feet, turned around and walked towards the end of the alley.

"It turns out that Shen Chenchen lives in this kind of black place. No, he can't be a human, he's a ghost, right?! Xu Xinyi muttered as she walked. But in a few seconds, I was speechless by my own ridiculous ideas. Where did the demons and monsters come from in this world, if he was really a ghost, how dare he come out during the day.

Xu Xinyi stood on the side of the road and casually stopped a taxi and went home.

Pushing open the door, I saw Xu Zhiwei half-lying on the sofa watching TV.

Xu Zhiwei saw her come in, immediately sat up straight, and called softly, "Xinyi." ”

"Hmm." Xu Xinyi didn't look at it, and stood at the shoe cabinet to change her shoes.

"Why did you come back so late, where did you go after school?" Xu Zhiwei said cautiously, for fear that a wrong sentence would provoke her.

"I didn't go anywhere, I saw a friend go."

"Have you eaten?"

"Eat."

"Xinyi, we haven't chatted for a long time, come and talk to Dad."

Xu Xinyi thought for a while, but walked over and sat on the sofa next to him. She didn't bother to watch TV, her hands pressed under her thighs, her head down at her toes, and she wore cartoon slippers with two small black ears hanging from either side of her shoes. This pair of slippers was bought by my mother, who always likes to buy her something particularly cute.

"Xinyi, I want to discuss something with you, I'm asking for your opinion, not a decision, don't get angry after listening, okay?"

"Say it." Xu Xinyi still didn't raise her eyes to look at him.

"I want Aunt Ding to come to the house to take care of you."

Oh, I was still guessed by myself, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see it all day long, or if I saw it, I would mention that woman.

Xu Xinyi didn't say anything, and listened to him finish speaking.

Xu Zhiwei saw that her expression was not abnormal, and then said, "You see that you are the critical time to grow your body, and it is still not okay to eat out all day, and my father is too busy with work and often has to travel to take care of you." Aunt Ding is here and can also help with cooking. What do you think? ”

"Didn't you ask Zhao Bin to persuade me to accept that woman, why did you persuade me personally."

"I..." Xu Zhiwei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this kid to confess to Xinyi so quickly, it seems that he really misjudged him at the beginning.

Xu Xinyi saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and was even more convinced of what Liu Xiaoxiao said, "You don't have to think about how to defend yourself, this matter is not something that Zhao Bin told me, and you don't have to blame him." ”

"As for what you said, I'm against it." Xu Xinyi was resolute.

"Is there no room for negotiation?" Xu Zhiwei looked at her in disappointment.

"Hmm. It's too late, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. Xu Xinyi said and walked to the bathroom.

In the frame of her room is a photo with her mother. The mother in the photo is gentle and elegant, with delicate facial features. The reason why Xu Xinyi has such an impeccable face is all due to her parents' excellent genes.

In the past, my mother's parents were both university teachers, and she was also born in an intellectual family. But my father is from the countryside, and his family is poor. After graduating, the two reached the age when they should talk about marriage, but they were opposed by their grandparents. They fought for love, but in the end, they couldn't resist, and their grandparents also acquiesced to the marriage.

The married life of the two is also going well, and Dad's career is gradually on the right track. However, the good times did not last long, but my mother was diagnosed with advanced brain cancer and finally left them.

After Xu Xinyi took a shower, she lay on the bed holding the photo frame, staring at the woman in the photo with dark eyes motionless.

After a while, she said, "Mom, are you okay over there, Dad is going to marry another woman to be my stepmother, what should I do?" I don't like this woman. ”

I really don't know where Ding Shengyan attracted him and made him so fascinated.

Xu Xinyi muttered in her heart. It wasn't supposed to be used for her father, but she couldn't think of a better word.

The moon was dark, and the phone vibrated slightly, and she pulled it out from under the pillow.

Although there is no remark, only a string of numbers, Xu Xinyi still recognizes this as Zhao Bin's number. Ever since he got lost eating crayfish in Yixiangyuan, he memorized Zhao Bin's number very well after coming back. Just in case you can't find him next time your phone runs out of battery.

He is now in the United States, and his mobile phone number has not been changed.

Unlock the phone screen, a line of block letters pop up in front of you, and the short tentative words "Have you slept?" ”

Xu Xinyi replied, "Get ready to sleep." ”

Then hold the phone and wait left and right.

"Well, then you have a good rest, good night."

Xu Xinyi was cold, and she sent a text message to herself for the first time after walking for so many days, but the content was so contentless.

She fell asleep, hoping for a good night's sleep. The phone forgot to mute.

At two or three o'clock in the morning, the mobile phone vibrated like crazy again, Xu Xinyi rubbed her sleepy eyes, and the bright screen stabbed her eyes, and it took a while to get used to it.

There are ten unread text messages, all of which were sent by Zhao Bin. But the time came and went, from half past ten to a little more.

Xu Xinyi looked at the time carefully, and only then did she start from the earliest one.

22:30 "How are you doing?" I just arrived in the United States, and I feel that I am very uncomfortable with the environment and diet here, and I still like to eat crayfish from Yixiangyuan the most. ”

22:55 "Why don't you reply to my messages?" Although we broke up, we can still be friends, can't we? ”

23:09 "Xinyi, if you could turn back time, would you leave me behind?" ”

23:16 "I checked the time, and it should be past eleven o'clock in the evening on the mainland." I don't know if you're asleep, but my mind is full of your voice and smile, and I forgive me for not texting you for so long. Yesterday the bamboo pole told me about you at school, it was me who misunderstood you and Shen Chenchen, I'm sorry! ”

00:39 "I'm going to fall asleep waiting for your reply." I almost forgot to tell you that my mom contacted a school with me yesterday, and the formalities have been completed, and I will go to school in two days. I suddenly regretted that I didn't learn English well when I was in school, and now I'm starting to worry about how I can communicate with them. ”

01:24 "Xinyi, can I still call you that?" Hopefully we'll see each other again one day. ”

Xu Xinyi read the text message in a complicated mood, and suddenly fell asleep.

Although Zhao Bin knew that the matter between her and Shen Chenchen was a misunderstanding, he had no intention of reconciling with him. Yes, he is going to settle in the United States, and he will find an American girl to be his girlfriend in the future, what else will he do with her.

Xu Xinyi smiled bitterly. She and Zhao Bin are destined to be missed!

She flipped through the text messages again and realized that she had received a second message at 1:27 a.m.

This transoceanic text message, time can be reversed like this.

Shaking his head, he deleted them one by one. But I can't delete the memories of the two being together.
