Once they all firmly believed that there was that person in their future picture, whether it was in the suburbs of spring, or in the green campus, whether it was in the black July of the national examination, or in the bitter years of overseas wandering, as long as there was that person, the picture of life would be colorful, and when Ai Mengmeng could no longer imagine the picture of her future, their future picture would not be able to draw.

At that moment, Ai Mengmeng may be happy, and at that moment, she may also be sad, but that is her choice. She is not an ignorant and fearless stumbling girl, she obviously has many choices, and she chooses to abandon, abandon everyone, abandon her and her or his future, and even abandon herself, because she never wants to be "abandoned" again, it's just that simple.

Liu Xingchen pushed the car and walked side by side with Wu Jiao on a silent road, the cold wind dried their eyes, making the eyelids and eyeballs become astringent and painful, they kept walking along the long sidewalk for a long, long time, counting each street lamp that gradually receded from the top of their heads, and the light made their figures keep getting shorter and longer, and shorter and longer...... It was clearly a clear midnight memory, but there was always snow, and the road stretched to the outskirts of the city, far away.

……

That day, Wu Jiao couldn't keep up with him, and was left farther and farther away by him, her trembling body was strictly overdrawn, and from morning to noon, and then from noon to night, she only took in half a bowl of rice calories.

"Senior...... I...... It's a little cold. ”

Liu Xingchen's heart trembled unconsciously as it was numb to pain, and his footsteps stopped mechanically: "...... Oh. ”

He turned around and saw a pair of eyes as sad and desperate as himself, a pupil that had lost its temperature and life in its dry sockets, hollow and godless, nothing. At that moment, he knew that it was not only himself who had been drowned by the bitter waters of the apocalypse.

He propped up the car on the side of the road, took off the only warm cotton clothes on his body, put it on Wu Jiao, and touched the top of her head: "I'm sorry, I forgot, I'll send you back to the dormitory, right?" ”

Wu Jiao bit her lip and said, "The dormitory has long been closed. ”

“…… Oh. ”

The night was cut off by the city lights for no reason, and the deserted streets became narrow and illusory, obviously in the open outdoors, but in memory it was like a big prison cell that held the two of them upside down, erasing the past, cutting off the future, and time was no longer meaningful.

Behind a small, dimly glowing light box, they found a small, humble suburban hotel. There is no ID card to be paid and you can stay for one night for very little money.

Pushing open the door, the first thing that greeted them was a narrow double bed and a TV stand, in addition to two dirty bedding and a worn-out iron kettle, and they were shocked by the simplicity and straightforwardness of the room. No way, he didn't want to face his parents' endless cross-examination, and she didn't want to endure the meaningful eyes of the dormitory administrator. As soon as they thought of it, they were determined to stay in this room.

Liu Xingchen said: "I'm sorry, I forgot to look at the time." In fact, he forgot that there was Wu Jiao by his side.

Wu Jiao shook her head: "I deliberately didn't want to go back." ”

"Well, I understand."

Wu Jiao sat on a small side of the bed, almost just leaning on the edge of the bed, which was much easier than standing, she was very tired. Liu Xingchen turned around and looked for it, this room was really small enough, and there was no place to put a stool.

Wu Jiao hurriedly moved some away: "Senior sit here." ”

"No need." Liu Xingchen pushed open the door, walked out, and soon walked in with a plastic stool and a box of cigarettes.

Wu Jiao said, "Can you give me one?" ”

Liu Xingchen paused and handed it over: "Will you smoke it too?" ”

"No, I've never smoked."

"This is the second time I've smoked."

"Does this smell of smoke good?"

"Aren't you smoking too?"

"I don't know if it's good or not, it's my first time smoking."

"I don't know, a dozen dollars of cigarettes shouldn't be too good."

"But I think it's okay, it's just a little choking, maybe because I can't smoke."

"Hmm. It's a little choking, but it's okay. ”

Their tones were a little relaxed, knowing that it was because Ai Mengmeng liked to smoke, and the two people who had never thought of learning to smoke started to smoke in front of each other. After harming the small half box of cigarettes, Wu Jiao felt that all the stiff muscles in her body were relaxed in the white smoke, her body was not so cold, her mind was empty, and she didn't think about anything anymore.

"Senior, I seem to be a little drunk."

"Me too, I'm weak."

"Come to bed, it's a big empty space." Wu Jiao moved inside, leaving a large empty space for him.

Liu Xingchen put the ashtray on the ground next to the bed and lay down on his back: "Ah, I really want to lie down like this and never get up again." ”

Wu Jiao also lay down on her back: "Senior ......"

"Huh?"

"You like Ai Mengmeng, right?"

“……”

"I've seen it for a long time."

"What's the use of saying that."

"I like her too."

"Don't talk about that, if you want to say something, just say something else."

"But I really like her......" Wu Jiao's two outer eyes almost at the same time, two streams of crystal water flowed out at once.

Liu Xingchen lay silently beside her.

"I actually like to hear her call me 'wife', thinking that this way I can never be separated from her."

Liu Xingchen flicked off the cigarette ash, took another deep breath, and put his arm on the edge of the bed. He remembered the encounter three years ago, remembered himself in the past three years, these words had never been said to that person before, and there would be no chance to say them again in the future, what are the years and moods of those who really like her......

"Senior, why didn't you talk and fell asleep?"

"I'm listening."

"Senior, I want to cry for a while, okay?"

“……”

Wu Jiao turned over, lay on the bedding and sobbed violently.

Liu Xingchen threw away the cigarette butt, sat up, and buried his face in his hands.

……

Wu Jiao cried and cried, crying quieter and quieter, and the clear rhythm from next door made her feel extremely embarrassed, in this situation, the crying Liu Xingchen felt a little ridiculous. They all pricked up their ears in unison, while trying to slow down their breathing and heart rate, listening to the sound without saying a word.

After a few minutes, the sound was gone. Wu Jiaocai changed her sour posture, turned over, and sat up. The lights were never turned on in the room, and the cigarette butts glowed a faint red in the darkness. They looked at each other with moist eyes, almost at the same time, gently leaning closer, snuggling together, hugging each other, the painful wounds in their hearts seemed to be slightly relieved by the shiver of this moment, in the touch of electricity, they felt each other's chests swell and compress together, and the sound of rapid breathing could no longer be hidden in the silent space, so they had to be all opened, and let it stir in their ears.

Liu Xingchen licked his dry lips and said, "That...... Sleep for a while, I'll sit on the stool. ”

"Senior, do something with me that you can forget about her."

"What ......"

Wu Jiao lowered her head, grabbed Liu Xingchen's hand, unbuttoned her one by one, and then stuffed his hand into that soft and warm place. Even without turning on the light, without the light, she could feel his face blush into a ripe pomegranate. And hers is a red pomegranate that has long since fallen from the tree. Liu Xingchen gasped very much, and under her drive, his body was full of impulses.

"Senior, have you ever liked me?"

Liu Xingchen's voice was a little hoarse, panting too violently: "To be honest? ”

"If I wanted to hear a lie, I wouldn't have asked you."

"......" Liu Xingchen's hand buried in her arms curled up, no longer exploring inside.

Wu Jiao's eyes were wet with something again, it was a completely frustrating night, and her voice was aggrieved: "Just because I didn't say it!" She pulled his hand out and lay on the bed crying.

After a long time, Liu Xingchen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, folded his body on her back, hugged her, gave her a weight just enough to bear, and said softly: "Of course I like you (because you are her favorite person), just do it...... Take off your clothes and do it, right? ”

Wu Jiao didn't say anything, let him grope from behind to help her take off her school uniform shirt and school uniform pants, he asked her to turn over, lying in front of him in a very embarrassed position, in the dim light, she looked at his eyes blankly, her whole body was red. His gentle eyes reassured her, and she closed them gently. He carefully removed her last barrier, pink lace and small red bows, he had never known that the girl's body was so moving and so soft that he could not believe it.

When his slightly trembling lips touched her skin, she felt a strong electric current constantly hitting the atrium, from the mouth of the heart to the brain, and then from the brain to the limbs, all the way to the capillaries of the toes, every hair, every cell was constantly trembling and trembling, this was a feeling that she had never experienced before, not a pleasure, but extremely exciting.

Later, Liu Xingchen has been annoyed by the clumsy skills of that night, at the beginning Wu Jiao almost cried, she stoically held back the tears, but at the same time he blamed himself, he secretly imagined that if the first time he did it with that person and made it so bad, it would be better to try it with Wu Jiao first, and then he immediately scolded himself for being a bastard and buried that person in his mind with an invisible hand, but that person's shadow is like a shell under the beach, once the tide passes, it will see the light of day again.

Later, Wu Jiao and Liu Xingchen became a public couple at school, Cui Xiaokai withdrew gloomily, and Ai Mengmeng has not appeared since that night. In the first half year of graduating from high school, Wu Jiao went home with Liu Xingchen, and this erroneous relationship could finally be explained in front of her parents, and Wu Jiao became the prospective daughter-in-law in the minds of Liu's parents. After the discussion between the Liu family's parents and Wu Jiao's parents, they agreed to send the two children to study abroad together.

Whenever Wu Jiao stared into Liu Xingchen's eyes, even though those empty and lonely pupils would try to match his facial expression and smile at her, she knew that he hadn't forgotten that person, and never would be.

One day seven years later, the newspaper and the Internet suddenly published a news that "Mr. Liu Chenghou's only son and his girlfriend both returned to China", the most curious thing for those gossip people is that what kind of woman can be recognized by the great educator Mr. Liu Chenghou, if it is not that the girl's identity background is not simple, it must be that she has an extraordinary mind and beautiful beauty, in addition to layers of confusing speculation, the close-up under the flash does not capture a trace of her pregnant Liujia.

Wu Jiao's pregnancy has been almost four months, and this time the two of them returned to China to get married with the blessing of their parents, relatives and friends, Liu Xingchen didn't want Wu Jiao to bear too much unnecessary pressure during pregnancy, so the secrecy work was done quite well, and even Liu's parents and Wu Jiao's parents didn't know about her pregnancy.

In addition to returning to China to get married, they also have to participate in a class reunion that they have always vowed to attend, and domestic classmates often get together, and the two of them are invited to come back, so this time they must hold a key class reunion on the basis of their return to China.

Teacher Chang is about to retire, and he has not been a class teacher for the past two years, responsible for some simple school affairs, but his hair has grown a lot when he is old, and he looks much more pleasing to the eye than he did at that time. The squad leader Song Linlin has been a mother for a long time, and her busy figure looks more neat and capable than when she was in school. The old version of the student contact manual is about to bloom in her hands, many classmates have changed their addresses and contact information, and now everyone has their own things, some are busy reviewing for graduate school entrance examinations, some are busy looking for jobs, some are busy talking to partners, and some are busy making little babies...... In short, you have to pick a time when everyone is free.

In addition to the dinner, the alumni association also wants to organize a trip, the location is tentatively set in a seaside city resort, the cost is shared by everyone, and there is no limit to voluntary sharing. Organizing travel is to enhance the feelings between classmates, not why one-night stands create opportunities, now I don't know how to do it, classmates will not get it to go to a wild road, classmates feelings after fermentation will become extramarital love, a good family was once a student who fell from the sky will be engaged in parting ways, but it can't be because of this not to get together, in view of the class type is too huge, the head teacher Chang and the class leader Song Linlin tacitly divided the classmates who have married and the unmarried classmates into two parts, Therefore, Wu Jiao and Liu Xingchen, who were not yet married, were reluctantly assigned to the single faction.

Of course, Ai Mengmeng is also in this group of people.

In order to meet the economic level of the high school and the low, the place for the dinner was set at a mid-range hotel near Kikuri High School. Everyone was in high spirits on this day, and many students arrived early. Liu Xingchen drove the car to the campus, found a secluded parking space next to the playground, and then accompanied Wu Jiao to the hotel on foot, which was according to the advice of her personal doctor abroad, in order to have a smooth birth of the first child, it is best to take the opportunity to walk more, and met a person who should not be met on the way, Cui Xiaokai.

Cui Xiaokai and they are not in the same class and later did not go to the same school, should not have appeared here, God seems to be so fond of jokes, in fact, Cui Xiaokai has long heard the news of their return to China, after graduating from college, the useless Cui Xiaokai returned to Juli High School to work as an assistant to his father, and did his most tired student work that year, although he is a counselor, but the students have heard that he likes to tutor beautiful girls alone, and recently he is fascinated by a little girl, sleepless at night, and the old problem has not changed at all.

Cui Xiaokai drove up from behind: "Hey, is it Wu Jiao?" ”

Wu Jiao and Liu Xingchen walked on the sidewalk hand in arm, wearing a loose and comfortable cloth skirt, stepping on a pair of sandals with a pine cake bottom, tying a smooth ponytail from the back of their heads, their faces were not powdered, and their lips were not Zhu, looking pure and cute.

Liu Xingchen turned around and saw the people in the car, and said to Wu Jiao: "Look who that is." ”

Wu Jiao turned around a little inconveniently, and saw Cui Xiaokai sitting in a beautiful sports car, Wu Jiao immediately laughed and greeted him: "Hi! You're Cui Xiaokai, right? ”

Cui Xiaokai poked his head out of the car excitedly: "Yes! Wu Jiao, Liu Xingchen, it's really you! I've been looking like it from afar! Where are you going? ”

Wu Jiao said to Nunu in front of him: "Go to the front to eat." ”

"Then I'll take you there...... However, I could only have one more person in the car. ”

Wu Jiao hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, I want to take two steps, you go and get busy." ”

Liu Xingchen whispered in her ear: "You sit down, I don't mind, hehe." ”

Wu Jiao poked Liu Xingchen with her elbow, Liu Xingchen rubbed his stomach and sighed softly. Of course Cui Xiaokai didn't hear it, Wu Jiao smiled and waved goodbye to Cui Xiaokai: "I'll contact you later!" ”

Cui Xiaokai turned around and said, "Okay, I'll look for you as soon as I have time, see you first!" When to go? ”

"I'm not leaving!"

"That's great! Wait for me to call! ”

The car had already driven a long way, Cui Xiaokai's loud voice echoed on the road, and Liu Xingchen asked Wu Jiao: "Does he know your current phone number?" ”

Wu Jiao guessed: "I guess he said this to anyone." ”

Liu Xingchen lowered his head and said in her ear: "Have you contacted him privately over the years, or how would he say that you should wait for him to call." ”

Wu Jiao twisted her chin, pushed his smiling face away, and said half-excitedly: "You also have an old lover, don't let me say it!" ”

Liu Xingchen laughed all the way, at this moment, he thought that he could let go of the past, even if he saw that person again, he would no longer have a trace of sadness
